[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

"Wow!" After reading a part of the comments with excitement, Yuqing glanced at Fopper and Tykwer at this time, and said, "In this way, our talented director and talented actors, I think the word-of-mouth of "Perfume" can already be said It's perfect!"

"That's right." Tykwer was also very excited, although he was somewhat famous in the European film industry before.But no one would say no to Hollywood, would they?

"Now as long as the box office results are not low, then I think the celebration of "Perfume" can be held in advance." Fopper was also very excited about the newspaper comments.This is not the same feeling as before, "Perfume" is not a movie in the sense that he knows everything.He is also beating drums in his heart about the degree of acceptance in North America.But now it seems that he is doing well among the film critics and the media.At the same time, this also adds a weight to him in this Oscar.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door in the meeting room, and seeing the little assistant outside the glass door, she got up like Qing Fei and went out, took the documents he brought, and flipped through them at the door After that, an ecstatic smile appeared.

"We made it!" With an excited voice, she handed the file to Fopper and Tykwer.

"We succeeded!" After reading the document, Tykwer was also extremely excited!

It was screened in 2300 movie theaters across the United States, with an average box office of 2500 US dollars per theater. After a full week of release, the box office exceeded 4000 million US dollars!Coupled with the three-day box office premiere, "Perfume" is not far away from breaking through 8000 million at the box office.This is simply unimaginable for an R-rated literary film.Because at the beginning, Goldfinger Film Company and even Europa Film Company positioned "Perfume" as an award hit, and the box office also had expectations of positioning it at [-] million.But now it seems that the box office potential of "Perfume" is far more than that.

Just as they estimated, the potential of "Perfume" is far more than that. The North American box office broke through 4 million in 2000 weeks after its release!It has become one of the few R-rated movies with a value of more than [-] million.At the same time, it also gave people a very clear understanding of Fopper's box office appeal.Because now that I think about it carefully, the movies he starred in, no matter what genre, have perfect box office without exception.

At the same time, because of Europa Films, the release of "Perfume" in Europe is also very perfect.In other words, Europe was originally the base camp for the filming of "Perfume".There, far more profound than the influence of American movies.In just two weeks after its release, the European box office easily exceeded 1991 million.In the European film industry, the evaluation of "Perfume" has reached an indescribable height.Especially Germany, where "Perfume" originated, and France, where the story took place.The related film industries of the two countries are all crazy.The evaluation of "Perfume" by the German Film Association is simply perfect.Many staff even revealed that most of the German film awards this year may be won by "Perfume".It's like the [-] "Ben-Hur" to the Oscars.

Just like "Perfume" was released perfectly, Fopper returned to the filming crew of "Blood Diamond" after a few days of ups and downs in the release of "Perfume", so that all the journalists who wanted to interview him because of "Perfume" I got a snub.But it is precisely because of this that the reputation of "Blood Diamond" has once again increased a lot."Blood Diamond" with Leonardo and Fopper made all the film companies optimistic.They all expressed that they could cooperate on the movie "Blood Diamond". Even if they can't be a production company, it's okay to be a distribution company to make profits.

In Hollywood, the distribution of movies has been firmly in the hands of the six major film companies. Although Fopper also wants to participate, he also knows that his golden finger has moved many people's cakes.If you continue, you will lose more than you gain.And the money earned is already enough. K and his status as a major shareholder of showu prevent everyone from acting rashly against him, not to mention his political investor, that black man, whose influence in the political arena has also begun to grow.Therefore, under various circumstances, he is also willing to share his interests with others.

"So, "Blood Diamond" can't catch up with the release this year?" At the end of November, the filming of "Blood Diamond" was finally completed.But according to the current speed, there is absolutely no way for him to participate in the Oscars.This made Fopper a little sad.After all, he has memories of the future, and he knows that although "Brokeback Mountain" will steal all the limelight this year, this year is also the best year to win an Oscar. Next year, if "Blood Diamond" competes for next year's Oscar, then he You need to fight "The Departed Walker".That's not to say that Blood Diamond is no match for The Departed, but that with both films starring Leonardo, there's bound to be a shift in the old Oscar pundits, Fopper thinks. The plan to win the best supporting actor Oscar will also have twists and turns.

"According to common sense, yes." As a film director, Zwick certainly hopes that his films will strive for excellence.Therefore, he was also very puzzled by Fopper's urgency: "Relax, Fopper, after all, you have also shot movies yourself. You can be regarded as half a director. You must know that film editing is not an easy task. What's more, you and I both know that "Blood Diamond" is for the Oscars..." He didn't finish speaking, but Fopper understood what Zwick meant: he wanted to make "Blood Diamond" more influential strength, the chances of winning an Oscar are even greater.

"But this year is also the most perfect year for "Blood Diamond." Helplessly, Fopper could only share with Zwick and said: "Although this is a bit of a close friend's professional ethics, as you, you should also know that I Accept the invitation from The Departed."

"Of course." Zwick nodded.

"Then you should also know that the movie "The Departed" is also aimed at the Oscars. And, Leo is also the protagonist of that movie, so that is to say..." The same didn't finish, but Fopper knew Zwick will have his own considerations.

It is a well-known fact that Leo is not favored by the Oscars.And if "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond" fight next year, it will definitely cause both sides to lose.After all, balance exists everywhere.Especially here at the Oscars, which are not good enough for public relations.If "Blood Diamond" really became cannon fodder for some reason, this Zwick would not dare to bet.

"But according to the current progress, even at such a fast pace, the editing time of "Blood Diamond" will take at least half a month."

"We can edit and promote at the same time." Fopper said that he is already very proficient in this kind of thing. Which one of "Sophia's Diary" and "Exploding Family" didn't edit while promoting like this: "What's more, you shoot The picture is perfect, there is no need for any reshoots, and I already have a first draft of what the movie will look like. I think my editing speed will not be slow."

"But..." Zwick still hesitated.Although he is the director of the movie, he has the right to say nothing about the movie, but that is in the eyes of others.In fact, in the movie "Blood Diamond", in terms of status, Zwick felt that Fopper was almost the same as him.Not only because he is one of the leading actors in the movie, but also because he is the screenwriter and co-producer of the movie.

"Edward." Fopper began to approach Zwick: "You know how difficult Oscar is. If we don't take a little risk, how can we gain something? Trust me."

"..." Zwick remained silent.

"In this way, if something really goes wrong with "Blood Diamond", I promise, how about I compensate you for a movie that is not inferior to "Blood Diamond"?"

"Oh?" Zwick was moved at this moment.Zwick, who has been with Fopper for a long time, of course knows how talented this handsome young man is in screenwriting.There are countless plots in his mind.

"Let's make a bet, if this year's "Blood Diamond" doesn't win an Oscar, then I'll write you a script for free."

"That's it."
