That is, the day after the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony, the headlines of the national entertainment news media, of course, those big winners of this year's Oscars.

The three films "Gladiator", "Drug Network" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have occupied 13 Oscar statuettes.

Attracts almost all the traffic!

No, the theater party made a statement immediately.

After all, it's all money!

The "Gladiator" movie was released in the United States on May 5, 2000. After 8 months, it was already removed from the theaters. At the same time, the DVD of "Gladiator" was actually launched in November 2000.

But... now what?

With the title of the best picture at the 73rd Oscar, it was pushed to the theater again, and it was screened in 670 theaters in one fell swoop.

DreamWorks Studios, the film's producer: "Won the 73rd Academy Award for Best Picture, not only to win the honor, but also to bring huge economic benefits. "Gladiator" has increased by tens of millions of dollars at the North American box office, That's pretty easy."

Universal Pictures, the film distributor: "The North American box office, the box office in overseas countries and regions, including offline DVD and video tape sales, will definitely usher in a wave of growth. This is the economic value brought by the Oscars!"

The movie "Gladiator" is like this, and the movie "Drug Network" is also swaying!

On December 27, 2000, the film "Drug Network" officially landed in major theaters in the United States. As of now, it has won a total of 112 million US dollars at the North American box office, and there are less than 220 theaters left in North America.

But what about the day after the Oscars?

720 screening theaters!

That's right, the number of theaters has soared by 500!

Many peer companies are dying of jealousy.

"I'm jealous, but I can't help it!"

"Who said no? The "Drug Network" movie won the 73rd Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Film Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

A total of 4 awards. "

"The theater's response was fast enough, and they adjusted the film arrangement immediately, tsk tsk tsk~"

Jealousy and jealousy are worthless in front of the traffic brought by Oscar!

When interviewed by the media, the head of AMC Entertainment, one of the three major theater chains in the United States, said: "It is foreseeable that the North American box office of "Drug Network" will increase by another 800 US dollars, which is completely no problem. "

box office?

The box office increase is certain.

Other related interests of the film will also increase a lot.

The huge economic benefits brought by the Oscars are the core reason why the Oscars have always been sought after by many film companies!

The films "Gladiator" and "Drug Network" have seen a surge in the number of theaters, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is also a big winner of this year's Oscars, is not to be outdone.

As of the eve of the Oscars, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already grossed $93 million at the North American box office, making it the highest-grossing "foreign language film" in American film history.

Kevin Feige's first statement: "The first foreign language film in American film history with a box office of over 100 million is about to be born, and it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

The flow of the Oscars, the reports of various media, and the promotion of Wald Films, which is a producer and distributor, the box office growth of the film is inevitable.

[The first foreign language film in American film history to exceed 100 million at the box office! 】

This gimmick alone is enough to attract a large number of old and American audiences into the cinema.

at the same time.

"California Entertainment News" and "Los Angeles Entertainment News", two influential media newspapers in the entertainment field in the United States, are spared no effort, almost flattering, with the financial sponsorship support provided by Wald Pictures. opened up a wide-ranging report.

The content of the key reports is only Zucker himself and the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Best Picture Oscar: "Gladiator";

Oscar-level best director's film: "Drug Network";

These two movies are just a brushstroke!

"California Entertainment owner Ryder Stanley, Los Angeles Entertainment News editor-in-chief Andre, on the red carpet yesterday, was shameless enough, but now it seems that I still seriously underestimate their downline. what!"

The Global Times made an appointment with the editor-in-chief of the section, Mian Anderci, and muttered to himself with disdain.

A lot of media colleagues, in fact, are also very envious.

Media integrity aside!

"What's the matter of integrity and offline? Don't forget, we are just entertainment media." Andre, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Entertainment News, was complacent.

......

After a week.

The film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won 4 Oscars, finally broke the US$100 million mark at the North American box office at 2 pm today.

The first foreign-language film in American film history with a box office of over 100 million was born.

"Boss, thanks to the stunt of the Oscars, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has not only achieved good results in the North American market, but also has seen a significant reverse growth in the box office in Europe, Asia, Australia and other overseas markets in the near future."

"According to our forecast, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" goes offline, the cumulative global box office will be no less than 200 million US dollars."

"$15 million to make, $17 million to announce, $11 million to run the Oscars."

"The cumulative total cost will not exceed 50 million US dollars, and the exchange rate will be less than 200 million US dollars at the global box office."

"I have to say, the revenue of this movie is far beyond our imagination!"

Kevin Feige, the president of Wald Pictures, was full of joy while reporting to Zucker.

No way, the results are brilliant!

clap clap~

Zucker applauded and said, "Well done. The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon brought by director Ang Lee has made us money, so we can't treat him badly, at least in terms of director's remuneration and movie box office share, we can Can't be in arrears."

"Don't worry, in terms of economic issues, our reputation at Wald Pictures is well-known." Kevin Feige said.

Speaking of this topic, Zhu Ke couldn't help but think of Shay, the boss of New Line Pictures.

Shay, that's notoriously stubborn.

After the completion of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, New Line Cinema as the producer and director Peter Jackson had a lot of filth. Stinks the street.

On the one hand, Zhu Ke regards money as his life, but on the other hand, he pays great attention to credibility and integrity.

in the next time~

Zucker and Kevin Feige chatted again about TV movies and agency deals for 12- to 20-year-old actors.

"Boss, the youth performing arts department under Wald Pictures, I have completed the formation and launched the first phase of recruitment in California and other places."

"It is expected that in another 3-5 days, the first phase of enrollment will be completed."

"In the next 3 to 6 months, we will carry out systematic training for these teenage actors, mainly in terms of acting skills. At the same time, we will also package them into teenage group idols one after another."

"The TV movie "High School Musical" is already ready to go."

"The movie "Dancing Out of My Life", as long as they perform well, there is also the possibility of starring!"

Kevin Feige talked eloquently, and the plans blurted out of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Zucker couldn't help but stunned and said, "Packaged as a group idol for teenagers? Disney makes a lot of money from minors every year because of this."

Zucker is still very jealous of Disney's profitability in this regard.

"I wonder if there are any future demons that I am familiar with in the list of recruiting young actors in this first phase?" Zu Ke thought to himself.

" "The second is sent.
