Chapter 774 (1/2)
When Simon was in Ukraine, this year's 52nd Annual Golden Globe Awards Dinner opened at 6:00 p.m. west coast time on January 28.
Just in the past year, as of December 31, 1994, the total box office in North America not only broke through the $6 billion mark for the first time, but also raised the record to an amazing high of $6.61 billion at one time, an increase of 15.3% compared with the total box office of $5.73 billion in 1993.
People in the industry who know a little bit about the North American film market can feel how amazing this data is.
In the past, the North American film market always showed a steady growth trend with the increase of ticket prices and the recovery of the film industry, but the usual annual growth rate was rarely more than 10%.
For example, in 1993, compared with the total box office of US $5.36 billion in 1992, the annual increase was only 6.9%.
In the past and never happened history, only in the year when phenomenal box office blockbusters such as ET and Titanic emerged, can the annual box office growth of North American film market reach more than 10%.
This time in 1994, it was the same.
In the past year, for the first time in Hollywood's history, four blockbusters with a local box office of $300 million appeared at the same time, namely ”Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight”, ”Forrest Gump”, ”Toy Story 2” and ”suicide squad”.
Batman: the rise of the dark knight, the local box office champion of the year, grossed 416 million US dollars.
Although Toy Story 2 and suicide squad, which were scheduled to be released at the end of last year, did not break the $300 million threshold as of December 31 last year, this did not prevent the explosion of the film market in 1994.
From the beginning of last year's ”Four Weddings and a funeral” and ”spy plane head” to the summer season's ”Stargate”, ”true lies” and then to the end of the year's ”night visit to vampires”, ”disguised geek”, and so on, people are dizzying.
Of course, the whole Hollywood in the past year has also felt more than ever the tenacity of Denise entertainment group.
As of December 31, 1994, ”Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight”, ”Forrest Gump”, ”Toy Story 2”, ”suicide squad”, ”true lies”, ”evocation”, ”stealing the line of fire”, ”burning eyebrow chase”, ”the morgue haunted event”, ”Stargate”, ten films, have nothing to do with danelis entertainment The film, only produced by Paramount ”burning eyebrow pursuit” this one.
Among them, the other five films, four weddings and a funeral, speed of life and death, Romeo stained with blood, visiting vampires at night and freaks in disguise, which have entered the box office threshold of 100 million yuan, or even failed to enter the top ten of this year's list because they are still on show.
Even though the box office rose sharply in 1994, the excessive strength of this series of blockbusters squeezed the box office space of many other films. Some films that should have been sold well in history, such as ”gambler Ma Huali” and so on, suffered the most serious box office shrinkage, even half.
It can be said that under the influence of Simon, the super butterfly, Hollywood has entered the super blockbuster era in which the box office of the top list films is lawless and the market space of the middle and low level films is seriously compressed.
Even if Simon deliberately suppressed the development frequency of the film, he still failed to delay the occurrence of this trend.
Fortunately, because the new era has just begun, the situation has not deteriorated to the dilemma that it is difficult to survive for non free and non sequel blockbusters, ”Forrest Gump”, ”stealing the thread of fire”, ”Four Weddings and a funeral” and other excellent films still have the opportunity to play their market potential.
At the same time, Simon's Hollywood low-cost art film field, which is supported by gaomen film industry, also has considerable market space.
From the list of nominated films for the new Golden Globe Awards, it is not difficult to see that just like in the field of commercial films, 1994 was also a year of great harvest for literary and artistic films.
In addition to Forrest Gump, which can be listed as the pinnacle of artistic films, there are also a series of films nominated for the award season this year, such as four weddings and a funeral, natural killer, little woman, years of passion, Nell's heart, wisdom like a fool, bullets flying on Broadway and so on.
Whether it's business or art, the year of ”God sees the movie” quietly promoted by Denise entertainment is worthy of the name.
The biggest difference in the details of this year's Golden Globe Awards is that many award-winning filmmakers have been clearly reminded in advance that they no longer need to thank Simon in the process of delivering their acceptance speech.
This will be the case for the whole award season, or for many years to come.
Simon intends to become an invisible person, but it doesn't prevent Denise Entertainment's films from showing off at the Golden Globe Awards.
The two core best picture awards of plot and musical comedy, one belongs to Forrest Gump and the other is won by four weddings and a funeral, all fall into the hands of Denise entertainment.Other important awards include best director, two best actors, one best actress and so on. TV series awards, friends, desperate housewives, stories from the emergency room, and so on, have also made great achievements.
Neither Denise entertainment nor the Organizing Committee of the Golden Globes have considered the balance.
However, in such a dazzling film year, for the sake of the so-called balance, those excellent films will appear deliberately.
During the three hour Golden Globe Award dinner, igritte portal broadcast the award results with pictures and pictures, and introduced the audience discussion mode immediately.
According to the feedback from the audience, compared with previous years, this year's Golden Globe Award was less controversial.
Ukraine is ten hours earlier than the west coast of the United States.
When the Golden Globes dinner opened, it was already four o'clock in the morning on Sunday.
Simon got up at seven o'clock in the morning, and the complete award results were just released. The party after the award dinner has already started in Los Angeles.
During the run, Simon simply glanced at the results of the awards. He just asked girl a to send a greeting card to each winner in her personal name, which he learned from Michael owitz.
It's not surprising that people are polite.
Breakfast time, today's table has an extra Eve besonovskova.
Women are probably born to compete.
After the first night before yesterday, the tall Ukrainian girl followed Simon's orders and ”rested” on the big bed of the master bedroom for a whole day. Then, in the different reactions of a group of women in the villa, she successfully occupied Simon's second night.
This morning, Simon broke the girl's blush, stretching from her face to her neck. She buried her head tightly in the pillow and didn't dare to see anyone. Then she didn't lie on the bed any more. However, when she ate at the table, her head was always low and didn't dare to look at other people.
After breakfast, girl a introduces her schedule to Simon. Just as she is about to leave, Celia comes up with an excuse to sit with Simon. After the team starts, she takes out a document and hands it to Simon.
I'm going to the southwest suburb of livny in the morning.
Where does Simon plan to build an airport, so that when he comes to Ukraine in the future, private planes can directly stop at Livni. Moreover, as the city develops, the demand for commercial flights will increase significantly.
Because it's a small city airport with only one main runway, including the hangar and terminal building, and considering the local prices in Ukraine, it only made a budget of 15 million US dollars. In fact, this figure is a bit high, but Simon doesn't intend to reduce it any more. After all, it's something he wants to use.
The government of the state of Rovno has no money to participate in the construction of such an airport.
Therefore, the planned urban airport will be fully invested and wholly owned by oldek company, which is in charge of Sergey komorov. In the future, when the city develops, Simon will give up part of his shares to Ukrainian local capital if it is necessary to expand the airport.
In fact, there is another key to the operation of an airport: manpower.
This is the least of the problems in Ukraine.
