Chapter 710: Golden Globe Awards
Jiang Hao is enjoying life, and Connor and Robert are not as good as him. The whole company is very busy and they are working hard for Jiang Hao, the capitalist.
Negotiation, negotiation, renegotiation,
Three days later, I finally chose the publisher, and it was still Warner.
After the two parties signed the agreement, Warner immediately took action. There was only one week left before Christmas Eve. Time waited for no one, and advertisements were overwhelming. TV, newspapers, posters, and the theme was "Watch "Raccoon Battle 2: Home Imperial" and have a happy Christmas Eve with your family."
Christmas Eve,
Jiang Hao drove Monroe in a gauze dress to a cinema in Miami. "Raccoon Battle 2" will be released here tonight. Warner has strong distribution and is very optimistic about this movie. It is directly released in 800 theaters across North America, and it is said that it is still preparing to increase to more than 1,000.
The two walked into the cinema and found that most of them were parents who brought their children to watch the movies, and then some young couples, popcorn and Coke were standard, but now they were holding raccoon dolls to watch "Raccoon Battle" as well.
"Do you want one?" Jiang Hao asked.
"certainly."
"Who do you want to bring, five-spice, spicy or lamb skewers?"
"Mala loves tricks and treats me very much. She often runs to scare me. The mutton skewers are a troublemaker. She has already damaged three pairs of shoes. I want five spices. She is a girl and is the most obedient." Monroe said.
Jiang Hao paid for a raccoon doll, Wusing, Monroe hugged her happily, and the two walked into the cinema.
After the movie was released, the laughter of children sounded from time to time in the cinema. Children of the same age, cute raccoons, the freedom to control their parents, the courage and wit in fighting against gangsters, letting children enter their dreams and crazy fantasies how cool it would be if they were themselves.
The later meaning of the word "cool" has not appeared yet, but now it just means cold.
But in the film, every time the little boy Kevin successfully defeated the robber, he would shout that it was really "cool". When three little raccoons defeated the robbers, he would also praise it for being so cool, which gave this word a new meaning.
Cool, in the Raccoon Battle, it means being cold, powerful, and very handsome.
After watching the video, the children shouted together, "It's really cool!"
When the first group of children who had watched the movies went back, they would brag to their friends about how good and cool the movie was, which made the children who had not gone to the cinema and had an extremely strong desire to watch the movie. They would go home and tell their parents that they hoped to go to the cinema to watch the movie.
Christmas is a happy holiday. How can parents refuse children’s small requests?
Then let's mobilize the whole family.
that's all,
There were also some empty seats on the first day, and the attendance rate was around 7.80%, which was already a very high number of movie viewings. However, starting the second day, this number was 100%. From day to night, it was all 100%. There were many parents waiting outside with their children.
There is no way, these are all brought by the tap water from the children who watched the movie on the first day.
Warner was excited.
Hall Films was excited.
The theaters were also excited.
Warner added more than 300 cinemas again, which controlled the full momentum. Many film critics wrote articles saying that this was the first time that audiences lined up at the door to watch the movie since the Great Depression of Film in 1945.
"It is said that movies have entered a cold winter period and will not show the grand occasions of the 20s, 30s and 40s again, but Jon Hall broke this curse and brought the movie back to life again, allowing those who watched TV at home to go out of their homes and are willing to spend money to enter the cinema. Why is this? Because he grabbed the pulse of the movie and positioned it accurately."
"There are more and more entertainment nowadays. Many people say that TV opportunities are gradually replacing the status of movies. Perhaps this is true, but not all of them are. Movies and TV are two different art forms after all. As long as you find the positioning, you can pull people out of your home."
"According to my prediction of this event, the future festivals will be the best broadcast period for the film industry, including Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc., and relatively types of movies can be released."
"There is also the audience positioning. In the past, we all thought that adults were the consumer subjects, but from "The Raccoon Battle", it can be seen that children are also the consumer subjects and can influence parents. They are simple-minded and love the things they like more. As long as you catch one of them, you will find that you have caught their family."
"Jon Hall, a well-known writer and a successful film screenwriter and director, has the best director skills and the ability to capture the audience is even more top-notch."
Monroe sat in Jiang Hao's arms, holding the newspaper and chanting word by word. Nian Dao turned to Jiang Hao and said, "Those film critics praised you very much. They said you knocked on the gap in the ice of the movie and let a ray of sunlight sprinkle in. You also said you would be the pioneer of the new century of the movie."
Jiang Hao shrugged, "They said it was pretty pertinent."
Monroe giggled and lay down in Jiang Hao's arms, "Jon, can you be more modest? I feel ashamed to be so close to you."
"No, it seems that you are still not close to me. When it becomes a negative number, you will deeply agree with my opinion."
"ah!"
Monroe screamed, and the two fell on the sofa and started to fight.
"Lingling ~~"
The phone rings suddenly, and the two of them stopped moving. Monroe was lying on Jiang Hao at this time, reaching out to grab the phone and put it in Jiang Hao's ear.
"Hey, who?"
"The boss is me, Connor."
"Is there anything wrong with General Manager?" Jiang Hao teased.
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, there is good news. We received a reply from the Golden Globe Organizing Committee. Our Raccoon Battle 1 was nominated."
Monroe was on Jiang Hao's body. When she heard this, her ears immediately ridged, her eyes were filled with brilliance, and her thighs were unconsciously clamped.
"What are the nominations?" Jiang Hao also became interested and asked.
He had asked the company to apply for Golden Globes, Oscars and other awards. Winning awards is very important for a movie, director, screenwriter and actor. Nowadays, fame is money.
"Not for Best Picture in Music/Comedy, Nomination for Best Actress in Music/Comedy," Connor said.
Jiang Hao felt that Monroe was shaking and clamping tighter.
Although it is just a nomination and only in the special comedy category, this is already a very high gift for a newcomer.
"Where is the Oscar?" Jiang Hao asked.
"The Oscar hasn't been released yet, but I feel like there's little chance of getting a nomination. You know those in the academy prefer serious professional things," Connor said.
It is true. "The Raccoon Battle" has a good box office, but the plot is too simple. It's just a popcorn movie. To put it bluntly, it's not high enough that the Oscars don't look down on it at all.
That's it, Jiang Hao was already very surprised.
After hanging up the phone, Monroe's face was flushed with excitement, kissed Jiang Hao's chest hard, and screamed, "Jon...Jon, I was nominated for the Best Actress, I was nominated, ah~~."
She was so excited that she felt like she was about to faint.
......
The two returned to New York from Miami. Jiang Hao came to the company and began to arrange work for the new year. After settlement of the accounts, the company lost 3 million yuan and the bank loan was 3 million yuan. But it doesn't matter, the income is floating outside. The total box office of Raccoon Battle 1 is 23 million yuan. Now, Raccoon 2 has been released for half a month and has reached 26 million yuan. It is definitely a big hit film. Although the number of viewers has declined, it still occupies the first place in the weekly ranking. Experts expect Raccoon 2 to reach more than 40 million yuan.
The first thing to do at the beginning of the year was to send red envelopes. Jiang Hao prepared relatively similar red envelopes for everyone. There were more than 100 people in the company, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands, and more than 200,000 were sent out at once. The whole company respected Jiang Hao, but it was not enough. You must know that this was the company's extra expenses. Jiang Hao was the largest shareholder, which was equivalent to paying money from his own pocket.
"Okay, you have received the bonus. This year will be a busier year. Everyone has to work hard. I believe that you will get more bonuses next year than this year." Jiang Hao said happily.
"good!!"
"Long live the boss!"
Everyone cheered.
After taking my money, I naturally had to sacrifice my energy. Jiang Hao immediately arranged a job. The crew of "The Hot" was officially established. Now I rushed to Chicago to prepare for the filming, and other actors were in place.
He was preparing to take Monroe to attend the Golden Globes ceremony and flew directly to Chicago to start his enthusiastic shooting.
Chapter completed!
