2757 [Hollywood's hidden worries]
The day after the Oscars ceremony, not only the American media reported on the award ceremony in large quantities, but even the media around the world were vigorously reporting on the matter.
Not only because the Oscars are a grand event in the global film industry, but the Oscars of this year do have too much news worth reporting.
"Titanic won eleven grand prizes, tying the historical record of Bin Hur!"
"Tianxia Production became the biggest winner and won sixteen Golden Image Awards!"
"James Cameron, the well-deserved 'King of the World'!"
"Jack Nicholson won the movie twice and tied Spencer's record!"
Among them, the one with the most reports was the "Titanic", which won eleven major awards, and the world production that won 16 major awards.
The movie "Titanic" won eleven trophys, tying the record set by "Ben Hur" back then, which is already a very impressive result.
What's even more rare is that it has also been shortlisted for 14 awards, while "Ben Hur" only has 12. Moreover, in terms of box office, even if inflation is included, "Ben Hur"'s box office results are still inferior to "Titanic".
Therefore, "Titanic" can be regarded as Hollywood's most outstanding work to date, no doubt about it.
World Production was shortlisted for 34 awards and eventually won 16 trophies, which also set a record for the Oscars. Never before, a film company was so powerful.
Therefore, for a time, not only the popularity of "Titanic" has risen to a new level, further stimulating its box office.
Moreover, even the world's production has become famous and has been officially listed among the Hollywood giants by the media.
In this way, the original Hollywood Big Six became the Big Seven, namely World Production, Universal, Columbia, Warner, Disney, Paramount and Fox.
Among them, the three giants of Tianxia Production, Universal Pictures, and Colombia are all owned by Xiatian. The seven giants occupy the third one. Xiatian’s power in Hollywood is evident!
This has attracted a lot of reports from the media! Everyone is speculating about where the limit of summer lies and whether it is possible to acquire giant companies in the future.
Faced with the summer of continuous expansion, whether other Hollywood companies can compete with him, the rules formed by Hollywood in the past century, and whether they can limit him as a behemoth have become topics of concern to everyone.
...
The Hollywood ecology is composed of six giants, various trade unions, small and medium-sized film industry, and dozens and millions of practitioners.
The reason why it can maintain balance is that the mutual restraint and competition between giants; the competition between giants and small and medium-sized film industries; the competition between various trade unions and giants, etc.
Various forces compete and restrain each other, bringing a changing balance. Over the years, Hollywood's ecological balance has not been broken.
But now the situation is slightly different. Because summer is too strong. Among the seven major Hollywood giants, he occupies three. Among the three major public TV stations in the United States, he occupies one. The largest video rental store in the United States and even the world, Blockbuster, is also his. The first and largest online ticketing website in the United States, is also his...
Xia Tian’s influence in the industry is not a big deal, but at least it’s just a matter of words. Faced with such a huge force, it’s not easy for Hollywood to restrain him.
Moreover, Xia Tian has never liked to be bound by rules. He had previously quietly established his own agency and set up his agency in Puerto Rico.
This is actually a violation of the rules, but because the union cannot control Puerto Rico. In addition, the artists signed by the brokerage company have no objection to Xia Tian, it makes it difficult for the union to find an excuse to interfere in this matter.
Therefore, in the future, Xia Tian may subvert the Hollywood ecology and challenge the rules of Hollywood by his own efforts. At that time, where should Hollywood go, it will naturally become a topic of concern for everyone.
...
After the Oscars, the biggest winner summer became the darling of the media. I don’t know how many world-class media want to interview him well.
While dealing with these media, Xia Tian is considering filming this year.
As the popularity of Tianxia Production has increased sharply, more and more producers want to cooperate with Tianxia Production.
However, it is safest to invest in which one should be invested in because the funds involved are too large, so it is decided by Xia Tian in the end.
But Xia Tian also intends to gradually delegate power, let the world make its own decisions, whether a movie can be shot or not.
Earlier, because Tianxia Production was just founded and lacked fame and qualifications, Xia Tian was worried that the new company would develop unfavorably and died in the middle of the process, so he took care of it so much.
However, now, Tianxia Production has developed and no longer needs his support step by step. He can also let go gradually and let Tianxia Production learn to develop itself.
After all, he had too many things to take care of it.
Finally, after careful selection in the summer, I selected several projects that felt good.
One is "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", which tells the story of a huge meteor about to hit the earth, which may cause the destruction of human civilization. At this time, the Mansion of Sands dispatched top oil drillers to drill holes in the meteor, detonated nuclear bombs inside, and exploded meteors to protect human civilization.
This movie, Xia Tian remembers that it achieved a very good box office that year, and also made Liv Taylor, known as the "Elf Princess".
This movie also has the same story background as "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth", which was released at the same time. However, "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" started filming in June 1997, and was invested by Paramount, and its box office was not as high as "The Great Collision of Heaven".
One is "I'm Crazy for Mary", which tells the story of a kind-hearted boy Ted met a blonde girl and developed into a lover thirteen years later.
This is a relaxed and humorous love comedy, starring Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz in his previous life, and achieved a good box office of 360 million US dollars worldwide that year.
One is "Public Enemy of the State", which tells the story of a lawyer accidentally involved in the murder of a senator and eventually resolving the crisis with his intelligence.
