For most people who pay attention to this year's Golden Globes inside and outside the banquet hall of Hilton Hotel Beverly Hills, there is a saying that it is unexpected and unexpected, which is the most appropriate way to describe the results of this Golden Globes.

Daenerys won 5 of the first 10 best film nominations, and the circle judged that Daenerys would be a big winner in this awards season. However, of course, some people also expect that the judges of various awards season awards can remain objective and independent. Or, not so independent, but develop a rebellious mentality, which is better.

It turns out that there are not so many unexpected things in this world.

When everyone saw an Australian girl who had just emerged almost last year defeating other Hollywood veterans such as Meryl Streep and Cathy Bates, who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in the Drama category, and walked to the stage excitedly with a white CK dress and walked towards the stage like a bride who walked into the church, everyone understood that everything was under the control of a young tycoon.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which lasted for two hours, has come to an end.

Before the Best Actress in the Drama category, not to mention the numerous TV awards, Daenerys Entertainment won the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenwriter, Best Movie Soundtrack, Best Original Song and other awards in the movie category. Among them, the Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenwriter and Best Soundtrack are all from "Elizabeth".

In addition, the idea is very clear that the music comedy awards are also a kind of concession and room for reservation.

Now, with the best actress in the drama category, some of the remaining key awards are almost foreseeable.

There is indeed no suspense.

When Cate Blanchett burst into tears and finished his acceptance speech, he stepped down from the stage, and then, the best director, belonged to Shega Kepoor of "Elizabeth", skipped the best film in the music comedy category and the last best film in the drama category, accurately fell on "Elizabeth".

Hundreds of guests at the scene, no matter what they thought, as the crew of "Elizabeth" took the stage, began to applaud, pushing the atmosphere of the award ceremony to the highest level.

Daenerys was shortlisted for the best film in the drama category, namely "Save Private Ryan", "Elizabeth" and "Los Angeles Secret". Speaking of which, in many people subconsciously, "Elizabeth", as an unpopular historical film in ancient costumes, should be the least competitive one, and "Save Private Ryan" seems to be more worthy of it.

The same was once.

In the 1999 awards season competition, thanks to the annual championship of over $200 million the year before, "Save Private Ryan" won a great victory in the Golden Globes stage. The subsequent Oscar was called one of the Oscars by many movie fans because of its overly obvious defeat to "Shapespeare's Love History", which had a very obvious trace of public relations. The criticism of the award results that year also lasted for many years.

However, reality is reality.

This time, first of all, "Save Private Ryan" has a much lower momentum than before. Compared with the annual championship in the original space of time, as time changes, as of the decline, the local box office of "Save Private Ryan" was finally $163 million, lower than the previous $216 million, not to mention the halo of the annual championship. The box office data of 163 million is much worse than the top "Jurassic Park 3" and "Suicide Squad 2" in the past year, and it is not as good as the $182 million for "Hangover".

Of course, the most important thing is that Daenerys does not intend to focus on operating this movie, which is actually a few cooperative films, and applying for nominations is already very considerate.

After all, Daenerys only accounts for 50% of the investment share in this project, and the other half belongs to Paramount and DreamWorks according to the original agreement.

Considering the interests, the local area is lower than the previous $163 million, and the overseas release of the film is basically coming to an end, with a landing point of about 240 million, and a global average of exactly 400 million US dollars. Even if you have the distribution rights, you can get an additional release commission and split it, for Daenerys, this is probably only equivalent to a movie with a global box office of about 250 million US dollars.

Let’s talk about “Elizabeth”. As of the last box office week, the cumulative box office of the movie, which lasted about 500 yuan, has steadily reached US$26.2 million.

Last Friday, taking advantage of the Golden Globes hot spots, the screening scale of "Elizabeth" increased significantly from 514 yuan to 1,933 yuan. Judging from the feedback from the increase in the previous three days of the weekend, the movie's box office this week is expected to be around 15 million US dollars. If it continues, by this year's Oscars, "Elizabeth" can completely break out of the 100 million curve that once "Shape's Love History" in the same year.

Coupled with the halo of awards, overseas is expected to sell 1 to 200 million US dollars, and the global box office will eventually be between 2 to 300 million US dollars.

Moreover, compared with "Save Private Ryan" with a production budget of $70 million, "Elizabeth" has only invested $25 million. In addition, one of the two has basically completed the theater distribution, and the other is released at the right time, which just needs the halo of awards to support popularity. Therefore, it doesn't take much consideration to which one to operate.

Just like the former "Shapes' Love History", even though he was scolded, the box office of nearly $300 million worldwide was real, and Miramax made a big profit because of this.

What's the point of being scolded a few times?

Sure enough, when the award ceremony on January 25 ended, all kinds of criticisms in the media were inevitably coming the next day.

Correspondingly, with the halo of awards such as the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture in the Drama category, "Elizabeth" significantly improved in the following days. Finally, from January 22 to January 28, "Elizabeth" won a box office of $15.19 million in one box office week. Even though the studios regretted that they failed to exceed 10,000, this was undoubtedly a very outstanding result.

The cumulative box office of the film also increased to $41.39 million.

In a new box office week that started on January 29, Daenerys Entertainment once again increased the number of screens on "Elizabeth" to 2,145 yuan.

Subsequently, on Saturday, January 30, the 71st Academy Awards will be held on March 21, and "Elizabeth" won 11 nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenwriter, Best Soundtrack, Best Costume Design, etc., which significantly surpassed other films of the same period.

On the other hand, Daenerys Entertainment won three of the five Olympic Awards nominations again unexpectedly, and is still the Big Three in the Golden Globes drama category, "Save Private Ryan", "Elizabeth" and "Los Angeles Secret".

As for other nominations, all of them have been added up to 34 items, which is the most popular one.

Subsequently, Gaomen Film Group, which is responsible for marketing operations, also followed up on public opinion operations in a timely manner.

For example, is it reasonable for Daenerys to receive so many nominations?

The counterattack argument is simple.

Do you let Oscars ignore the quality of the movie and just share pork, so you can limit those excellent movies?

For example, for "Save Private Ryan", which is obviously neglected, facing some media complaining about the movie, we also operated a pen to confront Spielberg's "pleasure" in the selection of subject matter, which is a politically correct subject that makes people unable to refute and dare not criticize, and won it without force.

In fact, the movie still needs to return to the movie itself.

Since we are back to the movie itself, Daenerys is absolutely confident. Let’s talk about the three movies that were shortlisted for Best Picture, which one is not a classic with excellent box office reputation? In comparison, Daenerys Entertainment in previous years also produced many excellent films. However, because of the default unspoken rules of various awards in the past, they have been treated unfairly.

Balabala

In such a bustle, time soon came to February 1999.

Simon spent a week in San Francisco before returning to Los Angeles on February 1st, which is also the new week.

The two Jenny and a group of little guys have also returned from Australia one after another recently.

I didn't go to the east coast anymore.

After all, New York is still in the middle of winter, it is too cold, and a group of little guys can't stand it, so it's more suitable for living on the West Coast.

As Simon continued to do the busy pace of work that would never be done, the first big thing in February also followed.

Friday, February 5th.

The negotiations between the OPEC oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia on jointly reducing production and curbing the continued decline in oil prices suddenly broke down. In order to force Russia to surrender, Saudi Arabia immediately announced a significant increase in oil production. On the day the news was announced, international crude oil prices plummeted from the already unprosperous US$18.36 to US$16.13, with a single-day decline of 12.1%.

Affected by this negative news, the stock market and energy sectors of countries around the world fell sharply along the board.

However, ExxonMobil, the largest energy giant in the United States, which just completed another integration last year, fell by 6.3% on February 5, and none of the other energy giants in the world were spared.

Anyone who is familiar with current international and current politics understands that the breakdown of OPEC's production cuts with Russia and Saudi Arabia's sudden and significant increase in production is definitely not just the lack of negotiations on the surface.

To put it bluntly, Xiang Zhuang dances his sword, aiming to Pei Gong.

The EU officially released the euro on January 1st of the beginning of the year, intending to challenge the US dollar's international settlement currency status. As a counterattack, the United States will certainly not let the EU succeed.

The plummeting oil price is the first move that the United States has made.

For many things, the start of 0 and 1 is very critical, while the development from 1 to 100 is often much faster.

The euro is now a critical moment when breaking through 0 and 1.

The United States wants to make this first step of the euro unsteady.

Not to mention the overall impact of the plunge in oil prices on the global economy, the plunge itself, when the global energy trading volume is basically constant in the short term, the price plummet means that the demand for settlement currency has also decreased significantly. When the US dollar has taken the lead, it has encountered a sharp decline in settlement demand. It is conceivable that the difficulty of the euro entering the market.

What's more, this is just a chess piece.

Of course, there are subsequent moves.

Therefore, people with keen sense of smell have begun to move. On February 5th, the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar fell by 34 basis points, falling from 1 to 1.1725 to 1.1691, a single-day decline of 0.28%. For currencies, a single-day fluctuation of more than one thousandth is already considered a big rise and fall, and the euro fell by nearly three thousandth in a day, which is almost a terrible sight.

Not only that, compared with the 1-to-1.1800 exchange rate given by the EU official in January, the cumulative decline of the euro reached 0.97%, close to 1% in just one month.

This is definitely not the situation the EU wants to see.

After all, currency means purchasing power. A brand-new currency that has just been released for only one month has depreciated by 1% before it knows, which actually means that purchasing power has decreased by 1%. So, will it continue to depreciate in the future?

If so, who would dare to use it rashly?

Simon just watched quietly about the turbulent storm in the international energy market.

Of course, the Westeros system, which is already closely related to the international economy, will definitely not be indifferent.

Whether it is Westeros, which holds a lot of cash, or the capital involved in the Westeros system's key financial operation platform, it has made active arrangements in advance, such as establishing a large number of short contracts for the euro and oil. However, on February 5, Simon's report received on the weekend, the floating profits in all aspects reached US$700 million.

Therefore, the continuous decline trend of the euro just released is actually due to the operation of the Westeros system. After all, the Westeros system still needs to stand on the side of the federal side, safeguard the interests of the US dollar, and also protect its own interests.

While participating in the overall operation, you can also make money, why not?

In addition, stakeholders such as Westeros team and Cersei Capital team are also developing plans for the bottom-buying energy industry.

Although the traditional energy industry is becoming less and less popular after entering the new century, before the full rise of new energy, human beings will still rely on traditional energy for at least the next twenty years. As a basic need, even if the profit margin is not high, it is an investment direction with quite stable returns.

What's more, if everything goes well, Simon knows that in the next 10 years, there will be a traditional energy super bull cycle waiting for him. People today may not be able to imagine that the international crude oil price will reach nearly $150 a barrel. Simon can imagine it.

Therefore, it is a fool who doesn't enter the market right now.

...

The sight returned to Hollywood.

Entering February, after a series of nominations for the Golden Globes and Olympic Awards, a number of strong blockbusters at the end of last year also entered the final period, and the performance of "Elizabeth" became more and more impressive.

However, the first small hot schedule of 1999 also came.

Lover file.

Friday, February 12.

A new box office week begins, Daenerys Entertainment's first main film in 1999, adapted from the Chinese film "Love Call Transfer", which is the film of the same name, is officially released on a large scale.

Previously, the film premiered in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The word of mouth was lifted the next day.

Although there is no shortage of feminists' noise, the film has won praise from most media with its warm and joking and relaxed tone, with a comprehensive media score of 8.6.
Chapter completed!
