With the end of the Oscars, another Hollywood awards season officially ends.

The public opinion trends before and after the award ceremony were completely different. Before the award results were announced, "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" was recognized as the number one hottest, but after the results came out, even the media, who previously thought that the film would become a super winner, began to comment that the award title of "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" was not worthy of.

Criticisms like "Martin Scorsese deserves an Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, Little Golden Man, but "The Walker" is not his best work" are endless.

Like "Tower of the Sky" and "The Little Sunshine Beauty" have become the objects of general sympathy among the media.

As for "The Walker of the Side" who won three of the four major awards, and Relativity Entertainment won the Best Picture Award for three consecutive years, the media's mouths are full of conspiracies and shady stories.

This is the usual style of North American media. Even top newspapers such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, most of the time, they only choose to read what they want to see. Objectivity and facts are not important to them at all. In order to achieve certain goals, making up randomly is not a big news.

The Oscars ended, criticizing the big winners and sympathizing with the losers, this is a routine project every year.

"The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" is not the first, nor will it be the last.

How much controversy has "Forrest Gump" and "Shawshank Redemption" caused after the Oscar ended? In particular, how much sympathy did the latter win with his tragedy of winning nothing with his n-plus nominations?

But those who are a little smarter know that "The Shawshank Redemption" will not be favored by the Oscars at all. It would be even more nonsense to win those heavyweight Oscars against a film like "Forrest Gump".

Strictly speaking, "The Walker of the Spot" does not seem particularly outstanding.

But the result of the Oscars is ultimately compared with many films, and other competitors are really weak.

In any case, "The Walker of the Side" has won enough attention and excellent reputation in North America.

After the Oscars, this video appeared in the East and Southeast Asian markets one after another.

As Ronan expected, with the craze caused by "Infernal Affairs", the criticism and even insults of "The Walker of the Spot" have never stopped since the day it was released.

The two films are inevitably compared by viewers who have watched "Infernal Affairs" in East and Southeast Asia. Pure American gangster films like "Infernal Affairs" are seriously incompatible with the aesthetics of the audience there. Although their reputation will not collapse, they are also far from "Infernal Affairs".

For a considerable proportion of movie fans in East and Southeast Asia, "The Walker" won several heavyweight Oscars and Little Golden Man was very surprised and even puzzled.

How can such a remake that is not even as good as the original version become the best Oscar?

It can be said that quite a lot of viewers can't understand why such a wonderful match between King Liu and the two heroes of the Dianyan Liang changed to the two Hollywood superstars, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, who had influenced the world, turned into vulgar and turtle.

But one thing is very obvious. Even in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the influence of the Oscar effect is still obvious. Even if "The Instant Walker" has a bad reputation, it still has a good attendance rate in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

This is also the new box office growth point for "The Walker of the Skies".

A week after the Oscars, the film won nearly $12 million in many film markets in East and Southeast Asia.

In North America, since the film has been released for nearly three months, it rebounded and expanded as early as the Oscar nomination list was announced, and the Oscar effect is naturally not as good as the newly released market.

However, the influence of Oscars cannot be underestimated by anyone, and North America has once again shown a rebound momentum.

Originally, North America dropped to less than 500 theaters and screens, the week after the Oscars rose to nearly 1,500, and the weekend box office soared from less than 3 million US dollars to nearly 13 million US dollars.

After this round of outbreak, the North American market of "The Walker of the Spot" was basically exhausted.

So far, the film has a total box office of US$221.22 million in North America, earning US$191.78 million in overseas box offices, and continues to grow with the help of the Oscar effect.

The global box office of more than 400 million US dollars is enough to allow Relativity Entertainment to recover all the costs invested in "The Walker of the Stop", even if it pays Martin Scorsese, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and all the main creators including Ronan, to share the shares in the later stage, there is still a slight surplus.

But the offline revenue of the film has just begun.

"The Walker of the Stop" earned $16.5 million in the first round of television broadcasting rights in North America alone.

As the winner of many heavyweight awards such as Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, after the DVD is launched, Embassy Pictures will also launch the Oscar special commemorative album of "The Walker", which records the public journey of Olympics.

In this era, no matter how good a film is, it is not as important as a disc selling well.

With Netflix, a DVD rental and sales platform with super advantages, the DVD business of Relative Entertainment is quite powerful.

At the right time, Ronan didn't mind turning the company into a disc seller.

Which of the boys born in the 1980s who once lived on the other side of the Pacific has no rich experience in DVD?

When you contact the person selling the discs with some purpose but can't find a suitable DVD and can't help but show disappointment, the guy selling the discs always takes out colorful discs from the sack, the pockets in the top and even the crotch of the pants, and emptys the buyer's pockets.

So people met Teacher Xu, Teacher Ren, Teacher Li, Teacher Shu and Teacher Ye, etc.

That is also a beautiful memory that many people keep in their hearts.

"The Walker of the Skies"'s great victory at the Oscars continued to the commercial market and transformed into actual revenue from relativistic entertainment.

The Oscar Little Golden Man, who cannot bring commercial income, has no meaning to the film company.

The Oscar feast and Relativity Entertainment have all won the most delicious cake in the past three years.

Luo Nan will not deliberately promote it or keep a low profile. How should he win the prize in the next few sessions or continue to win the prize.

Shahai Entertainment has established multiple projects, and it is impossible for him to give up the profits he has hoped to get.

As March begins, Hollywood has finally subsided from the hustle and bustle of awards season.

The end of the Oscars ceremony means the end of another awards season in Hollywood. When the media seized the last heat of the Oscars and made another hype, Hollywood seemed much quieter.

The agents running in Burbank and Beverly Hills disappeared, and the business staff of professional public relations companies entered a dormant period. Celebrities of all sizes continued to be indulged in luxury and busy, waiting for the next awards season to arrive.

The film "Slumdog Millionaire" prepared by Relativity Entertainment for the next awards season has completed all productions and will start from this year's Cannes film and embark on a long road to winning the awards.

In addition, "Sunshine Girl" directed by David Finch will also try the awards season operation.

But Ronan knew very well that the theme and content of "Sunshine Girl" determined that it was impossible to achieve great things at the Oscars.

At the same time, Christopher Nolan, who completed "The Dark Knight", got rid of the promotion of Warner Bros., and once again cooperated with Shahai Entertainment, officially began to prepare for "Inception".

Because of the death of Heath Ledger and the Warner Bros.'s God-making promotion plan, Christopher Nolan had distracted a lot of energy on "The Dark Knight". The crew of "Inception" which was originally planned to be established in February had to be delayed to the present.

Now, with Warner Bros.'s various propaganda of creating gods, even though "The Dark Knight" is far from being released, with the promotion of some trailers and related character videos, Heath Ledger and the Joker are about to become gods.

Ronan has watched the complete film of "The Dark Knight" and has enough knowledge of the quality of the film and the excellence of the clown.

There is no doubt that as long as "The Dark Knight" is released, Heath Ledger and the Joker will be the gods among the fans.

As Christopher Nolan switched to a new project, the crew of "Inception" was officially established.

This science fiction production is expected to cost as much as $150 million. Christopher Nolan has done a lot of preliminary work and is expected to start filming in October and all productions will be completed by September next year.

As a key first-line commercial production project, Embassy Film has also given priority to finalizing the 2008 holiday schedule for "Inception".

In terms of actors, before the Oscars, Tom Cruise had several contacts with Christopher Nolan to discuss the project specifically, and the two sides had reached a consensus on cooperation.

Celebrities hope to cooperate with excellent directors, and excellent directors also hope to cooperate with celebrities with great appeal. Both parties will complement each other and make it easier to achieve win-win results.

Tom Cruise will play the leading role in "Inception", and several other key actors, Christopher Nolan and Ronan communicate in advance, plan to launch British actors.

Ronan has no objection to this. Apart from a few examples like the Little Devil, there are too many actors in Hollywood who are suitable for a certain role.

In addition, Christopher Nolan was impressed by the heroine Allen Page when she watched "Juno" released last year and planned to let her play one of the extremely important supporting actresses.

Regarding actors, Ronan only has two requirements for Christopher Nolan: one is not to use box office poisons like Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell, and the other is to control the actor's pay.

Tom Cruise must have a $20 million base salary plus a certain percentage of the post-production share. Together, all other actors will not be higher than Tom Cruise alone.

Superstars and celebrities are completely different concepts.
