Los Angeles.
The 46th Golden Globe Awards ceremony held on January 28 has become a joke in the eyes of many people.
Although there is no clear regulation, in the practice formed over the years, the selection of Film Awards is usually five nominations for one award.
However, this year's Golden Globe Awards completely set me free.
There are seven nominations for best film in plot category, six nominations for best director, six nominations for best supporting actor and six nominations for best original song in technology category.
The film awards of the Golden Globe awards are not as comprehensive as the Oscars. There are four unconventional nominations at one time, which makes the organizers of the Golden Globe awards more unprofessional.
If a series of unconventional nominations are only ridiculed, the final disorderly results of the awards will make the Golden Globe awards the target of a large number of media attacks.
It's not uncommon to see double yellow eggs in Film Awards. The competition between two films with the same strength is too fierce. The judges will divide the awards equally, and sometimes it will become a good talk.
But, sanhuangdan, have you seen it?
Five nominees and three winners. How can the other two be so sympathetic?
This happened at the golden globe.
And there's more than one.
In addition to the TV awards, there were two "three yellow eggs" and three "double yellow eggs" at the 46th Golden Globe Awards ceremony. When seagny weaver, Judy foster and Shirley McLean, who also won the best actress in the drama category, stood on the podium together, the whole scene was full of laughs.
Then a series of "three yellow eggs" and "two yellow eggs" poured in, and everyone was embarrassed and numb.
Moreover, the results of the awards are not convincing.
The best picture in the plot category was awarded to signey Weaver's biographical film the fog lock. The organizers of the Golden Globe Awards have already clarified that rain man has not applied for this year's awards.
"Fog lock" is really an excellent film.
However, the best film of musical comedy category was awarded to "working girl", which surprised everyone.
At the beginning of the nomination stage, the nomination of the new work "working girl" by former director Mike Nichols of "graduate" and "a dream of spring" has caused some controversy. "Graduate" and "a dream of spring" are both classics, but "working girl", which obviously followed last year's "Wall Street" business war movie, was so mediocre that it was not worthy of the name.
Compared with Wall Street, which is highly professional but not obscure, working girl is just a very old-fashioned career story.
Small staff Tessie (Melanie Griffith) for female boss Catherine (signi Weaver) provides a business plan, Katherine claims the scheme is invalid, in fact, she wants to seize the idea. Tessy accidentally discovers the truth, pretends to be her boss and directly contacts the target company. She meets Jack (Harrison Ford). With the help of Jack, Tess is promoted and Catherine is fired.
Above.
Wall Street has a professional business confrontation, fierce intrigue and Gordon Gekko's "green is good" which shows the greedy nature of capital. As for working girl, it's probably only Mike Nichols who won the best director Oscar for graduate 20 years ago.
The other four films nominated in the same period, in addition to Universal's not brilliant "midnight rush", the other "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "a fish named Wanda" and "flying over the future" are obviously better than "working girl". What's more, "when Harry meets Sally" and "steel Magnolia", produced by danielis entertainment, obviously have the same qualification for best picture in musical comedy category, but they haven't even been nominated.
In the face of intense controversy, the Golden Globe organizers can only explain publicly that when Harry meets Sally, they have not applied for nomination either. As for "steel Magnolia", the jury thought that the film was more in favor of plot, so it did not give nominations for musical comedy.
Balabala.
Danielis entertainment did not return empty handed at the Golden Globe Award, which was obviously overused in public relations. The best director of death Poetry Society and the best supporting actress of steel Magnolia have met Simon's expectations, and he has no dissatisfaction.
In Simon's view, Film Awards that can be manipulated by influence are good awards. If it's too fair, it's a lot of trouble.
Of course, this indifferent attitude can not be shown.
Not only that, in order to put pressure on the upcoming Oscar, danielis entertainment also launched a timely public opinion offensive to complain about the unfair treatment of the company's films at the Golden Globe Awards.
This strategy is usually very effective.
Just like in the original time and space, because there were no black nominees in a certain Oscar, someone jumped out and yelled a few times. The next year, he immediately gave a best picture of the all black production team. Black people also appeared in all the nominations of directors and actors, and took away a few small golden men. The proportion was amazing.Then, February 1, Wednesday.
Nominations for the 61st Academy Awards were officially announced.
Rain Man, produced by danielis entertainment, won eight nominations for best picture, best director and best actor.
In addition, Simon's name also appears in the eight nominations, and the nomination award is the best soundtrack. Because we can't find Hans Zimmer, who hasn't become famous yet, after he took over the later stage of rain man, Simon completed the soundtrack of the film with reference to the version in his memory.
"Death Poetry Society" also won two nominations for best director and best actor.
In order to avoid the competition with rain man, Denise entertainment voluntarily gave up the application for the best film of death poetry society, but another application for the best original script was not shortlisted.
In addition, the company also applied for three nominations for best original script, best actress and best supporting actress for steel magnolia, but only Julia Roberts was nominated for best supporting actress, and the other two nominations also failed.
By the count, Denise entertainment has won a total of 11 nominations at the upcoming Oscars.
Such achievements are not obvious. Warner has won a total of 19 nominations through six films, namely "dangerous relationship", "unexpected passenger", "fog lock", "rookie Parker", "beetle juice" and "nothing".
However, in addition to Sandra's "dangerous relationship" with seven nominations, other films are basically non core nominations.
On the other hand, because Orion still focuses on public relations on "burning Mississippi", vulgar novel, which is copyrighted by the other side, only won a nomination for best actor of John Travolta, one less nomination for Screenplay award than golden globe.
As the winner of Cannes Palme d'Or last year, there is no doubt about its reputation and box office.
After returning empty handed at the Golden Globes, the Oscars ignored it, and many media could not help complaining about the film. Because the Oscar nomination, Mike Nicholson's "working girl" still won a lot, a total of best picture, best director and other six nominations.
After the announcement of the Oscar nomination, a film critic of variety magazine sharply criticized the Golden Globe Awards and the organizers of the Oscars for passing a super "big year" with a large number of excellent films, such as rain man, vulgar novel, death poetry club, a fish named Wanda, Who Framed Roger the rabbit, when Harry Met Sally and so on The award selection, which is full of insider information, has been reduced to a mediocre film "Xiaonian".
The film critic also made no secret of pointing the finger at the American Writers Union.
It's not hard for a careful person to find that, except for the popular "Rain Man", danielis Entertainment's "dead poets society", "steel Magnolia", "when Harry meets Sally", and Simon's "vulgar novel" and other films, none of them have been nominated for Screenplay awards.
Simon westero, as the best young screenwriter in the 1980s, has not even been nominated for two consecutive years. This is a joke.
Most of the judges of the Oscars are members of the American Writers Union.
Denise Entertainment's popular reality show who will be a millionaire almost brought the strike of the writers' Union to a failure last year. Although the strike was finally settled, the agreement reached was also seriously shrunk.
Under such a profound contradiction, the writers' Union did not ignore the rain man, so it was already leaving room for itself. "Vulgar novel" and other dannilis Entertainment's other films, naturally, don't expect any nominations.
Of course, with Denise Entertainment's strength further increased, the contradiction between the two sides will gradually resolve.
In the final analysis, the relationship between the screenwriter and the film company is always the relationship between the employee and the boss. It's about one's job. Most of the time, people have to choose to forget or pretend to forget, whether they want to or not, and then compromise.
The turmoil in Japan's financial market has not affected Denise Entertainment's operations.
After the announcement of the Oscar nomination, Ella doechman began the final stage of sprint pr.
Meanwhile, Denise entertainment released its first film of the new year, Catherine's second feature film "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" on February 3.
Compared with "Rain Man" and other blockbusters, which are still reaping the box office steadily, "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" has a good reputation in film reviews, with an average of 7 points, but the box office is a bit poor. In the first week of its release, "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" took only $3.81 million at the box office on 1121 screens in North America, and the total box office in China is expected to be only about $8 million.
The final production cost of "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" is $10 million, and the publicity cost is about $3.5 million. The $8 million North American box office, together with other distribution revenues, is also doomed to a loss of millions of dollars.
Simon and Catherine have a special relationship, which is no secret in the circle.
As a result, Denise entertainment is not too concerned about the film's failure. Even after selling for a whole year and occasionally losing one or two units, it seems to be good.The world can't be abnormal all the time.
On February 17, after more than a month's financial audit, the 1988 financial report of Denise entertainment was finally released.
As of December 31, 1988, Denise Entertainment Group's total annual revenue reached $708 million.
Because danilisi entertainment is still in the early stage of development, the company's revenue is not too finely divided. For the time being, it is only divided into three business segments: film, television and comic books. The revenue from film and television derivatives with small revenue is directly consolidated, and so is the expenditure on Office space purchase and private aircraft rental.
Among the three business sectors.
The total revenue of the film business was US $276 million, including the revenue from various types of Denise pictures' series of films and the revenue from cinemas and videotapes of new world entertainment films.
Denise entertainment invested a lot of money in film production, publicity and copyright procurement last year. Before December 31, 1988, films such as rain man and death poetry club did not bring returns to the company, and the income of all kinds of films under new world entertainment was also very meager.
Excluding various costs and tax expenses, the net profit scale of Denise's entertainment film business is only $67.72 million.
By comparison, Robert egger's television business has $361 million in revenue, of which "who will be a millionaire" alone has contributed $196 million. Other reality shows such as survivors and TV series such as the age of innocence left over by new world entertainment have brought in good revenue.
Due to the super high profit margin of who's going to be a millionaire, the net profit of TV business is still as high as $165.75 million in the revenue of $361 million, excluding all costs.
In the end, Simon specifically requested that the annual revenue of Marvel Entertainment comics business, which is separately accounted for, be $71.32 million, with a net profit of $5.26 million.
In fact, since 1975, marvel has been in a stable profitable position under the management of Stan Lee and James gold.
Although the cartoon industry in North America has been shrinking in recent years, and the net interest rate of marvel is lower than 10%, if it was not for the bankruptcy and liquidation of its parent company Candace industrial holding group in 1986, the cartoon company would not be sold easily.
As a result, the total net profit of Denise Entertainment Group in 1988 was $238.73 million.
Net profit of $238.73 million, not to mention the second and third tier Hollywood film companies, even the seven major studios, only Warner, paramount and Disney can make more profits than that. Warner calculates the performance of the whole Warner Bros., not just Warner Bros.
As for the rest, Columbia and MGM made losses last year. Only "brother dragon and brother mouse" at the end of last year supported the film performance of the last two years. The profit of the whole MCA group in 1988 was less than 200 million US dollars. Barry Diller's business focus has been on the expansion of the television network, and fox film just barely maintained.
In fact, the current situation is not that Hollywood studios are weak, mainly because of the excellent performance of danielis entertainment.
Even if it is extended to other enterprises in North America, according to the revenue and profit data of Forbes' top 500 enterprises in the United States, the statistics of 1988 have not been completed yet, but with reference to 1987, the profit scale of $238 million of Denise entertainment has been enough to squeeze into the top 70 of the list of top 500 enterprises in North America.
In this era, in addition to Ford Motor, general electric and other few dozen companies whose profit scale can reach 1 billion, more than 95% of the companies on the list of the top 500 in North America have annual profit scale of less than 1 billion US dollars, and only about 150 companies have net profit of more than 100 million US dollars.
Therefore, when the financial data that will definitely make too many people envious came out, several senior executives of danielis entertainment decided to keep it as secret as possible.
There are all kinds of guesses about the profit scale of Denise entertainment in 1988, and most of the media's analysis is also very accurate.
However, just like many well-known big and deep cabinets in Hollywood, as long as a star does not come out in public, even if there are more traces to prove that he is gay, fans who are not willing to face the reality are still happy to believe that this is not the case.
In the same way, as long as Denise entertainment does not disclose detailed financial data, other Hollywood film companies will subconsciously ignore it.

In addition, the company also applied for three nominations for best original script, best actress and best supporting actress for steel magnolia, but only Julia Roberts was nominated for best supporting actress, and the other two nominations also failed. By the count, Denise entertainment has won a total of 11 nominations at the upcoming Oscars. Such achievements are not obvious. Warner has won a total of 19 nominations through six films, namely "dangerous relationship", "unexpected passenger", "fog lock", "rookie Parker", "beetle juice" and "nothing". However, in addition to Sandra's "dangerous relationship" with seven nominations, other films are basically non core nominations. On the other hand, because Orion still focuses on public relations on "burning Mississippi", vulgar novel, which is copyrighted by the other side, only won a nomination for best actor of John Travolta, one less nomination for Screenplay award than golden globe. As the winner of Cannes Palme d'Or last year, there is no doubt about its reputation and box office. After returning empty handed at the Golden Globes, the Oscars ignored it, and many media could not help complaining about the film. Because the Oscar nomination, Mike Nicholson's "working girl" still won a lot, a total of best picture, best director and other six nominations. After the announcement of the Oscar nomination, a film critic of variety magazine sharply criticized the Golden Globe Awards and the organizers of the Oscars for passing a super "big year" with a large number of excellent films, such as rain man, vulgar novel, death poetry club, a fish named Wanda, Who Framed Roger the rabbit, when Harry Met Sally and so on The award selection, which is full of insider information, has been reduced to a mediocre film "Xiaonian". The film critic also made no secret of pointing the finger at the American Writers Union. It's not hard for a careful person to find that, except for the popular "Rain Man", danielis Entertainment's "dead poets society", "steel Magnolia", "when Harry meets Sally", and Simon's "vulgar novel" and other films, none of them have been nominated for Screenplay awards. Simon westero, as the best young screenwriter in the 1980s, has not even been nominated for two consecutive years. This is a joke. Most of the judges of the Oscars are members of the American Writers Union. Denise Entertainment's popular reality show who will be a millionaire almost brought the strike of the writers' Union to a failure last year. Although the strike was finally settled, the agreement reached was also seriously shrunk. Under such a profound contradiction, the writers' Union did not ignore the rain man, so it was already leaving room for itself. "Vulgar novel" and other dannilis Entertainment's other films, naturally, don't expect any nominations. Of course, with Denise Entertainment's strength further increased, the contradiction between the two sides will gradually resolve. In the final analysis, the relationship between the screenwriter and the film company is always the relationship between the employee and the boss. It's about one's job. Most of the time, people have to choose to forget or pretend to forget, whether they want to or not, and then compromise. The turmoil in Japan's financial market has not affected Denise Entertainment's operations. After the announcement of the Oscar nomination, Ella doechman began the final stage of sprint pr. Meanwhile, Denise entertainment released its first film of the new year, Catherine's second feature film "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" on February 3. Compared with "Rain Man" and other blockbusters, which are still reaping the box office steadily, "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" has a good reputation in film reviews, with an average of 7 points, but the box office is a bit poor. In the first week of its release, "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" took only $3.81 million at the box office on 1121 screens in North America, and the total box office in China is expected to be only about $8 million. The final production cost of "Thunderbolt Blue Angel" is $10 million, and the publicity cost is about $3.5 million. The $8 million North American box office, together with other distribution revenues, is also doomed to a loss of millions of dollars. Simon and Catherine have a special relationship, which is no secret in the circle. As a result, Denise entertainment is not too concerned about the film's failure. Even after selling for a whole year and occasionally losing one or two units, it seems to be good.The world can't be abnormal all the time. On February 17, after more than a month's financial audit, the 1988 financial report of Denise entertainment was finally released. As of December 31, 1988, Denise Entertainment Group's total annual revenue reached $708 million. Because danilisi entertainment is still in the early stage of development, the company's revenue is not too finely divided. For the time being, it is only divided into three business segments: film, television and comic books. The revenue from film and television derivatives with small revenue is directly consolidated, and so is the expenditure on Office space purchase and private aircraft rental. Among the three business sectors. The total revenue of the film business was US $276 million, including the revenue from various types of Denise pictures' series of films and the revenue from cinemas and videotapes of new world entertainment films. Denise entertainment invested a lot of money in film production, publicity and copyright procurement last year. Before December 31, 1988, films such as rain man and death poetry club did not bring returns to the company, and the income of all kinds of films under new world entertainment was also very meager. Excluding various costs and tax expenses, the net profit scale of Denise's entertainment film business is only $67.72 million. By comparison, Robert egger's television business has $361 million in revenue, of which "who will be a millionaire" alone has contributed $196 million. Other reality shows such as survivors and TV series such as the age of innocence left over by new world entertainment have brought in good revenue. Due to the super high profit margin of who's going to be a millionaire, the net profit of TV business is still as high as $165.75 million in the revenue of $361 million, excluding all costs. In the end, Simon specifically requested that the annual revenue of Marvel Entertainment comics business, which is separately accounted for, be $71.32 million, with a net profit of $5.26 million. In fact, since 1975, marvel has been in a stable profitable position under the management of Stan Lee and James gold. Although the cartoon industry in North America has been shrinking in recent years, and the net interest rate of marvel is lower than 10%, if it was not for the bankruptcy and liquidation of its parent company Candace industrial holding group in 1986, the cartoon company would not be sold easily. As a result, the total net profit of Denise Entertainment Group in 1988 was $238.73 million. Net profit of $238.73 million, not to mention the second and third tier Hollywood film companies, even the seven major studios, only Warner, paramount and Disney can make more profits than that. Warner calculates the performance of the whole Warner Bros., not just Warner Bros. As for the rest, Columbia and MGM made losses last year. Only "brother dragon and brother mouse" at the end of last year supported the film performance of the last two years. The profit of the whole MCA group in 1988 was less than 200 million US dollars. Barry Diller's business focus has been on the expansion of the television network, and fox film just barely maintained. In fact, the current situation is not that Hollywood studios are weak, mainly because of the excellent performance of danielis entertainment. Even if it is extended to other enterprises in North America, according to the revenue and profit data of Forbes' top 500 enterprises in the United States, the statistics of 1988 have not been completed yet, but with reference to 1987, the profit scale of $238 million of Denise entertainment has been enough to squeeze into the top 70 of the list of top 500 enterprises in North America. In this era, in addition to Ford Motor, general electric and other few dozen companies whose profit scale can reach 1 billion, more than 95% of the companies on the list of the top 500 in North America have annual profit scale of less than 1 billion US dollars, and only about 150 companies have net profit of more than 100 million US dollars. Therefore, when the financial data that will definitely make too many people envious came out, several senior executives of danielis entertainment decided to keep it as secret as possible. There are all kinds of guesses about the profit scale of Denise entertainment in 1988, and most of the media's analysis is also very accurate. However, just like many well-known big and deep cabinets in Hollywood, as long as a star does not come out in public, even if there are more traces to prove that he is gay, fans who are not willing to face the reality are still happy to believe that this is not the case. In the same way, as long as Denise entertainment does not disclose detailed financial data, other Hollywood film companies will subconsciously ignore it.
