The Oscars have come to an end, which means another Hollywood awards season has ended. Many companies, including Relativity Entertainment, have begun to prepare for the next awards season.

For example, in the films produced by Shahai Entertainment, the goal of "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" and "Juno" is the next Oscar.

The former is not only finished filming, but also the post-production is also about to be completed. The road to winning the prize will start from the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.

The latter is completely up to the Venetian Film Festival in August.

Although after the Oscar, many media and conservatives criticized "Brokeback Mountain", and there were also news that Heath Ledger publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Ang Lee, the five Oscars, especially the Best Picture and Best Director, "Brokeback Mountain" is enough to set off a craze for money in the global market.

In North America, Brokeback Mountain has once again expanded its screening scale, and the number of theaters released has once again increased to more than 2,100. The Oscar effect bonus effect has been obvious, and the weekend box office soared from $3.2 million to $16.88 million.

The film's North American box office also reached US$72.2 million.

As a long-term art film, Brokeback Mountain's final North American box office is highly promising to hit the $100 million mark.

Overseas, the same stars have the same bonus to the Oscar Best Picture and Best Director Awards. This weekend, the overseas box office has closed at $32.18 million, and the overseas box office has accumulated nearly $60 million.

Embassy Pictures, the most conservative project, predicts that Brokeback Mountain's global box office will reach $200 million.

Relativity Entertainment's total investment in this film, including production budget, promotional awards and awards expenses for the Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival, as well as the North American awards season and various promotional expenses, totaling $35 million.

Among them, more than $12 million was spent on publicity and public relations during the North American awards season.

With Brokeback Mountain winning the Oscars, the North American box office alone is enough to regain investment.

The bonus effect of the Oscars is not only the box office, but also various offline channels.

Brokeback Mountain's first North American TV broadcast rights have been sold for as much as $10 million.

As an art film, it is rare to have such high profits.

Hollywood shoots and produces so many art films every year, and it is rare to have the commercial influence of "Brokeback Mountain".

The social influence of this film actually far exceeds the Oscar-best film.

Just as Brokeback Mountain fully utilized its Oscar effect, Ronan also received another good news.

On Monday, local time in the UK, the DVD of "Mamma Mia" started to be sold. On the same day, it set a new record with an amazing record of 1.7 million copies of the first day, becoming the champion of "the first-day DVD and videotape sales in the UK"!

The original record holder was the DVD and videotape of "Titanic". When it was released in 1998, it sold 1.1 million copies in the UK on its first day.

"Mama Mia" has more than 600,000 copies!

This film adaptation of the opera from the West End of England shows amazing commercial vitality in its homeland.

What is outstanding is not only DVD, but also box office.

"Mamma Mia" had a box office of $96.45 million when it was down in the UK!

This is enough to rank among the top five in the UK's historical box office rankings!

Even Ronan did not expect that a song and dance film could earn such a high income in an overseas market in the UK.

This also makes Shahai Entertainment pay more attention to another song and dance project.

John Waters, the cult director, created the glory of the opera, and Ronan simply handed over the project to him, with John Waters solely responsible, and Allianz Insurance served as a third-party guarantee to monitor the financial status of the crew.

From the project was established last year to the present, John Waters' preparations have been progressing in an orderly manner. After discussing with Ronan, he hired Adam Shankman, who has directed "A Basket of Children" and "The Brave Dad" as the director.

Among the confirmed main actors, the crew found John Travolta's mother who played the heroine in the cross-dressing role, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who once played Catwoman, played another important female role.

As for the heroine, it really makes the crew difficult, and it is not easy to find the right candidate.

A young actress with basic acting skills, excellent singing skills, and a fat actress has very limited choices.

Shahai Entertainment contacted several agency companies, but more than a dozen people recommended it, but none of the performances in the audition satisfies John Waters and director Adam Shankman.

Before the Oscars, John Waters, with the assistance of Relativity Entertainment, expanded his search to English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

In mid-March, the crew of "Hairspray" submitted the final female lead audition results to Ronan. A 17-year-old fat girl from the UK passed three rounds of auditions and defeated more than a dozen competitors and finally won the role.

When Ronan saw the heroine's profile, he felt a little incredible.

Because this 17-year-old fat British girl is named Adele Adkins, from Tottenham, London, England, and is currently studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

According to the audition video, Adele is a genius and sang a song he wrote when he was 16 years old during the audition.

Although his acting skills can only be said to be barely enough, he impressed John Waters and Adam Shankman with his singing voice.

Ronan has seen the photos on the actor's profile and then recalled it and confirmed that this is the Adele used to be.

No one is paying attention to Adele now, he is just a little transparent person. He came from the UK to star in Hollywood movies, which is also the advice of his parents.

After all, she was studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

In addition, Adele's classmate and friend Jessica Conish also passed the crew audition and won a supporting role.

Ronan has read the information about this girl and also felt it looks familiar, but he didn't expect to see it any time.

However, there are still a lot of singing and dancing rehearsals behind the project "Hairspray", and the filming will not start until June at the earliest. It will be difficult to complete the production this year, and the release will be launched until 2007.

At the same time, the crew of "Hannah Montana" began filming. Taylor Swift easily defeated all competitors in the audition competition that was absolutely fair and even more favorable to her, becoming the heroine of this teenage sitcom.

According to the latest developments Ronan has learned, Taylor Swift also joined the crew's music creation group and fully participated in the song creation of Hannah Montana in the play.

This girl has a good idea in music creation.

Scott Swift mentioned to Ronan that Taylor Swift recently had a new boyfriend.

Ronan estimated that songwriting was not a problem for Taylor at all.

There is really no inspiration and you can fall in love at any time. For American teenagers, breaking up in love is as ordinary as eating and drinking water.

Having said that, this is also a shortcut to finding creative inspiration.

According to Ronan's plan, if the response of "Hannah Montana" is good enough, it will be possible to hold a concert for Taylor Swift after it has been broadcast for a few seasons.

Before making "camel toe", Miley Cyrus became an idol of teenagers across the United States with Hannah Montana.

At that time, Taylor Swift could also be said to have come from the youth idol type, but in order to make more achievements in music and gain a higher status and reputation, he resolutely chose to leave the village.

The former Taylor Swift, the team behind him, had very extraordinary marketing operations.

Whether it is a relationship, a verbal battle with Fruit Sister, or a group of supermodel besties, they are simply powerful tools to attract scores.

It has to be said that the music industry is also changing with the development of the times and social situation. It is not as good as marketing operations.

Like on the other side of the Pacific, some celebrities can be browsed on the Internet.

Relativity Entertainment's film and television projects are progressing steadily. Danny Boyle officially signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment at the beginning of the year and served as the director of "The Slums Millionaire".

Currently, he has flew to Mumbai, India, to find suitable actors and actresses with the assistance of the Mountain Foundation.

On the second weekend in mid-March, Embassy Pictures released the second film of Relativity Entertainment this year. The Resident Evil series directed by Paul Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich has arrived in the third part, and Alice is facing even more severe challenges.

This is the most successful game-adapted movie ever. The only director of the game-adapted movie that can be expected to be with Paul Anderson is the only one in the world.

Today, Brother Bao will also have a new film released. "Fighting Life and Death" has been filmed and produced long ago, and it is only waiting for the Embassy Film Industry to be released.

Brother Bao’s daily life is still to find projects by playing games, even boxing shocks the critics, and from time to time to Blizzard to confess his love to his favorite...

This is definitely a person who has ideals, pursuits and actions.

As for whether he is a good director or not, it can only be judged by the fans.

It is said that New York, Los Angeles, Berlin and other cities have established organizations like Uvy Ball Fan Club, with a considerable number of members, which is only better than second-tier stars.

In contrast, Paul Anderson has a much worse reputation among movie fans.

Due to the exaggeration of Relativity Entertainment, Resident Evil's status in the company's projects will inevitably be greatly reduced. Ronan has handed over all this series to Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich.

Paul Anderson embarked on the old path again, and Alice finally became a superwoman.

However, Ronan did not make any comments, as long as it could bring profits, everything else was false.

The audience's reputation in "Resident Evil 3" is very polarized. Fans who like it think that large-scale action scenes and zombie fights seem particularly satisfying, while those who don't like it think that the film has nothing to do with the plot besides fighting.

The film's performance in the commercial market is still remarkable, with the box office in North America reaching $31.22 million in the first weekend.

This was enough to get Paul Anderson to get Ronan's green light to continue filming the fourth part.
