Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

After the film awards were awarded, the TV awards were awarded next.

"Are you disappointed that you didn't win the award?"

Ivaca asked softly at the award ceremony.

"No, the opponents this time are too strong, it's only reasonable that we didn't win the prize."

Link saw Joaquin Phoenix next door, Daniel Day-Lewis not far away, as well as Richard Gere and Denzel Washington. All of these people were veteran actors. If he wanted to steal it from them, Passing the trophy is extremely difficult.

So he didn't have high hopes before the awards ceremony.

"Link, I think you did a good job."

Jennifer Lawrence laughed next to her.

"Then I'll try to get it next time."

Link laughed.

"It's impossible. You didn't make any sacrifices in making the movie. You didn't become ugly or fat. You are far worse than Mr. Lewis and Joaquin. I think you have a lot of merit in getting a Golden Globe nomination. ”

Taylor said unceremoniously.

Link glanced at her helplessly, "Anyway, I'm better at acting than you. I won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival and was nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards twice. There is no doubt that I am a good actor. ”

"Ha, it's so funny. Your performance in "Midnight in Paris" was called a male vase, and in "Buried Alive", all the selling points were your face and figure. You also have the nerve to say that you are a good actor. ? I think your several nominations are watery."

Taylor choked.

Link shook his head, "Jennifer, you are a professional actor. How would you rate my acting skills in "Buried Alive"?"

"great!"

Jennifer covered her mouth and chuckled, "Taylor, Link is a talented actor. His performance is very contagious and has a sense of empathy. It's really good."

"You don't think you have to become ugly, fat and gay to be considered good at acting, do you?"

Link said with a proud smile.

Taylor wrinkled the bridge of his nose and tilted his head with a slight groan.

In the middle, Ivaca smiled slightly, pulled Taylor and said: "Don't argue with Link, he is very thick-skinned. Even if you say that his acting skills are terrible, he will not blush. You might as well say that he will never win an Oscar. This There is absolutely no way he can refute that.”

"Forever? What you said is too absolute."

Link retorted.

"It's not absolute at all. An actor as good as Leonardo can't get it, and it's even less possible for you."

Taylor said defiantly.

"I won't argue with you. I will show off to you when I get the Oscar statuette in the future."

Link clapped his hands for the winning actor, acting like a good man who doesn't fight with women.

Taylor rolled her eyes at him and pulled Ivaca to whisper.

Not far away, Leonardo was watching Link's side at all times while watching the award ceremony.

At first, I saw that the organizer had arranged Link with Ivaca, Taylor, and Jennifer. He and the people around him were ready to watch the show and see how they got along with each other. Would it be awkward?

After watching it for a while, I was surprised to find that not only were they not embarrassed, they could chat together as if they were friends.

"How is this possible, Joaquin, how did this guy Link do it?"

Leonardo asked in disbelief.

"What?"

Joaquin Phoenix asked over his shoulder.

"Look at Link, Ivaca is his wife, Taylor is his ex-girlfriend, and Jennifer is his rumored girlfriend. Not only do they not fight when they sit together, they also talk very affectionately. How is this possible? ?

Women are all jealous species, not to mention that Ivaca, Taylor, and Jennifer are all extremely excellent women. How can they get along peacefully together? "

Leonardo asked.

Joaquin Phoenix glanced at Link's table next door, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You're giving me a hard time, and I don't know why."

"Could it be that Link is too charming? Are the girls willing to live in peace for him?"

Woody Harrelson said.

He was nominated for best actor this year for the TV movie "Game Change."

"It's impossible. I've tried it, but it's hard to do. Why can he do it?"

Leonardo shook his head in disapproval.

When he was dating Gisele Bundchen, he was also secretly dating Czech supermodels Eva Herzgova and Paris Hilton. Later, Bundchen discovered that he was dating. Bundchen proposed to break up, but he refused and tried to stay with her many times. He also promised not to cheat on her again, but Bundchen still broke up with him.

After suffering this loss, he only picked up one girl at a time, and broke up with her every once in a while, so he didn't appear in the Shura field.

But now Link is sitting next to the strong woman Ivaca, the country music queen Taylor, and the Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, a super Shura field.

Faced with such three powerful women, Link was still able to handle them with ease.

Leonardo felt it was very unfair.

"Maybe Link has some secrets on this kind of thing. If you want to know, you can ask him for advice."

joked Woody Harrelson.

Leonardo thought, this is a good idea.

Bang bang bang!

The last Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to the famous actor Jodie Foster, and there was a burst of warm applause.

After the Lifetime Achievement Award, the award ceremony came to an end and we started eating, drinking and chatting.

Leonardo wanted to go to Link to talk about picking up girls, but when he got up, he found that many people came to Link to say hello.

Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway, Naomi Watts, Emily Blunt, Jessica Alba, Nicole Kidman and other beautiful actresses, as well as some male actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers, all took the initiative to approach Link.

Those who knew him congratulated Link, and those who didn't first introduced themselves and handed over their business cards.

There was an endless stream of people around Link, and he became the focus of the scene.

Leonardo waited for a while but didn't find an opportunity, so he could only suppress the matter and talk about it later when playing cards.

"Hello, Mr. Baker, I'm your fan."

"Link, congratulations, the film awards tonight were almost swept by you Lionsgate."

"Mr. Baker, Ms. Thompson, I'm Daniel Katz, CEO of A24 Films, and I'm very happy to see you here."

"Hello, hello!"

After the awards ceremony, because Lionsgate's performance at the awards ceremony was too eye-catching, Link and Eva Ka also became the objects of pursuit by many filmmakers.

Facing those who came to say hello, Link also responded politely. When he met someone he was interested in, he didn't mind chatting a little more, such as Daniel Katz, CEO of A24 Films brought by Megan Ellison.

This film company was founded last year by Daniel Katz, David Finkel and John Hodges.

Because it is a new company, it is not well-known at present, but starting this year, it has become more and more famous in the independent film circle and has released many high-quality films.

For example, the Oscar-winning best picture "Moonlight Boy", "Under the Skin" where Scarlett Johansson was naked, "Spring Breakers" in which Little Round Face participated last year, as well as "The Universe", "Lady Bird", "Ex Machina", "Hereditary", "Midsummer Night's Terror" and so on.

It is considered to be the new upstart in the independent film circle after Weinstein Films.

When meeting Daniel Katz, the boss of A24, Link naturally had to chat a few more words to facilitate future cooperation.

Now Lionsgate's allies in the independent film industry mainly include Palm Beach Pictures, Annapurna Pictures, Skydance Pictures, Summit Entertainment, and Brad Pitt's Plan B.

With more allies, Lionsgate will develop more smoothly.

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the media summarized and reported on the winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Lionsgate's films won 5 out of 18 nominations, and won 5 of the 14 film awards, more than one-third, undoubtedly becoming the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

"Argo" won 3 out of 5 nominations and became the most awarded film in this year's Golden Globe Awards.

"Les Miserables" ranked second with 2 out of 5 nominations.

In addition, Jessica Chastain won the Best Actress Award, Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Award again, Link and Taylor lost the Best Original Song Award, Adele won the award, etc., which also became the more interesting news of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

The most popular news of this year's Golden Globe Awards was that Eva Ka, Taylor, and Jennifer Lawrence sat at the same table at the awards ceremony and chatted happily.

This situation could not help but attract the attention of the outside world.

Everyone talked about the relationship between the three people. Some said that Link and Taylor and Jennifer still maintained an ambiguous relationship and were still connected.

Some said that they reached a secret agreement to divide Link equally, and some netizens had wild imaginations, saying that Link was engaged in polygamy. There were all kinds of speculations.

In response, Jennifer's agent publicly stated that Jennifer, Taylor, and Eva Ka were good friends, and there was no messy relationship. Please don't make random guesses.

Taylor's agent Emily also said in an interview that Taylor and Link were fulfilling their responsibilities as parents and striving to create a loving growth environment for their children.

After discussing for a while, the media and netizens could not find fresh materials, and their attention shifted to other entertainment gossip.

For example, Britney Spears announced her breakup with her agent and fiancé, and supermodel Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom encountered a marriage crisis.

After the Golden Globe Awards, all the nominated and award-winning films performed well at the box office, and several Lionsgate films that were released also experienced box office fluctuations.

Three days after the Golden Globe Awards, the North American box office of "Argo" soared by 12 million US dollars, and the current cumulative box office is 118 million US dollars. The overseas box office increased by more than 15 million, reaching a cumulative box office of 81.3 million US dollars.

The total box office is about to exceed 200 million.

After two weeks of previews, the number of theaters showing "Zero Dark Thirty" has expanded to 2,937. The current cumulative box office in North America is 29.91 million US dollars. The box office data is growing well, and there is a great hope that it will exceed 100 million.

More than a month after its release, the box office performance of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" increased by another 3.37 million US dollars, and the current North American box office is 15.73 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 6.67 million.

For a production cost of 1.2 million, the return ratio is very impressive.

There are also movies such as "The Oath", "Buried", "The Master", and "The Hunger Games", which have also gained a lot of box office in the theaters where they were re-screened.

It is expected that more box office will be earned around the Oscar Awards in February.

In addition, the global box office of "Twilight 4" has exceeded 800 million US dollars, temporarily ranking sixth among all the movies released last year.

The first place is "The Avengers", with a global box office of 1.58 billion.

The second place is "Skyfall", with a global box office of 1.08 billion.

The third is "Batman Begins 3: The Dark Knight Rises", with a global box office of 1.02 billion.

Ranked fourth is "The Hunger Games", with a global box office of 964 million.

The fifth place is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" with a global box office of 928 million.

There are also "The Conjuring" with a global box office of 320 million, and "The Vow" with a global box office of 280 million, both of which are among the top 20 box office of the year.

In the North American box office ranking list, films such as "Escape from Tehran", "The Hunt for Bin Laden", "Buried Alive", "Invasion of Evil" and "The Witness Protection Program" also entered the top 50.

Overall, among the movies released by Lionsgate Pictures last year, only two lost money, "The Golden Prince" and "The Master." Fortunately, the losses were not large, totaling less than 10 million.

The total box office in North America for the 20 movies released by Lionsgate last year was US$1.48 billion, while the total box office in the North American film market last year was US$10.8 billion, an increase of 5% over last year.

Among them, Sony-Columbia Pictures ranked first in the total box office in the North American market with US$1.77 billion and a 17.1% share.

Disney ranked second with 1.52 billion and a 14.6% share.

Lionsgate Pictures ranked third with a share of 14.2%, surpassing Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount Pictures.

Although it is third, Lionsgate has also set a number of new records, and it is also the best result achieved by an independent film company in the North American film market in the past fifty years.

In other respects, Summit Entertainment, Relativity Pictures, and Weinstein Pictures also entered the top ten, but they are far from comparable to Lions Gate.

Lionsgate Pictures is also considered by the media to be one of the giants in the film industry.
