Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

In the original timeline, the box office of Gravity in China was very high, exceeding 80 million US dollars.

The combination of Martin + Leonardo + Jessica, the three most popular actors, also made the box office of Gravity in China and even the world far exceed the original film.

Chinese fans who have just been baptized by Avatar and Inception have once again felt the power of the Hollywood film industry.

The visual effects of Gravity even surpassed Avatar and Inception in some places, which shocked many people in China, especially those in the industry~

After watching the movie, poet Chen claimed: "I'm afraid that China won't be able to make such a movie in the next 20 years."

And Zhang Laomou commented in an interview: "Like many great movies, Martin Meyers' Gravity works on multiple levels at the same time: as a deserted island escape-style film, it has a compact plot and interlocking suspense; if you completely ignore the plot and watch it as a space travel scenery film, the film's realistic effect will even be praised by astronauts who have traveled through space; you can also regard this film as a pioneer in film technology, and its filming innovation is enough to promote film technology to make it go down in film history."

Director Guo Fan, who is preparing for "The Wandering Earth", said: "The most dazzling technical breakthrough of "Gravity" is not 3D, but the camera movement and The reality of weightlessness. Most people will not notice the large number of long shots, which are very difficult. What is important is that these shots serve the narrative rather than simply showing off skills, and they are varied, from long shots to subjective shots in the space cover, which are smooth and free of the coolness and show-off of some art films. From this perspective, although the length and difficulty of the shots are extreme, they are not obviously experimental, as if they were a natural outcome. " Guo Fan then talked about his own movie, "The investment for "The Wandering Earth" has not yet been collected. Maybe I should send my script to Martin. I heard that he is good at Chinese and can read, speak and write. In this way, I don't have to translate the script into English. Maybe Martin will be very satisfied after reading it and invest money." This was originally a little joke made by Guo Fan. Unexpectedly, when an American reporter was looking for news that could be reprinted in the Chinese media, he saw Guo Fan's interview and found it very interesting, so he told Martin about it.

After hearing this, Martin actually asked Jiang Wen to tell Guo Fan that he was very interested in the script of "The Wandering Earth" and that he could send the script to him to read. Guo Fan could even fly to America to tell Martin about his ideas in person.

Guo Fan was stunned.

Then he was ecstatic. One night a week later, this guy boarded a flight to Los Angeles.

The reason why it was late at night was because red-eye flights save money!!!

Then, three days later, Guo Fan returned to China with a staff member of Meyers Films and a check.

Jiang Wen evenI was a bit jealous. Martin didn't invest in my "One Step Away" but invested in Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth". Is this "falling in love with someone else"?

(PS: Most American media have a department that specializes in finding valuable foreign news for reprinting or adaptation, and they pay the most attention to China and Ross.)

As time went by, it was February 2014.

The North American box office of "Gravity" exceeded 200 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 412 million US dollars.

The awards season has arrived.

"Gravity" won a big victory at the Golden Globe Awards, winning four major awards: "Best Picture", "Best Actress", "Best Director", "Best Original Screenplay", and "Best Visual Effects".

At the Oscars, Gravity received ten nominations, including "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best Actress", "Best Cinematography", "Best Original Score", "Best Editing", "Best Sound", "Best Sound Editing", "Best Visual Effects", and "Best Art Design".

Finally, Gravity won four awards, including "Best Director", "Best Actress", "Best Cinematography", and "Best Visual Effects".

The best picture was won by "12 Years a Slave", which was widely favored and considered "politically correct".

Matthew McConaughey won the title of Best Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club".

The Oscars ceremony hosted by talk show star Ellen DeGeneres lasted 3.5 hours. In addition to 43 million viewers, the ceremony had a viewership rating of 12.9 among the core group of 18-49 years old, which was also the highest-rated non-sports program since the finale of NBC's "Friends" in 2004.

The ratings of the Oscars increased by 6% year-on-year, which continued the trend of the Oscars' three-year consecutive increase in viewership.

Compared with the Golden Globe Awards and the Grammy Awards at the beginning of the year, the Oscars had 22.1 million and 14.5 million more viewers respectively.

The red carpet ceremony before the awards ceremony also had a considerable audience. In the last half hour before the awards ceremony, the number of viewers reached an objective 27.6 million.

According to Nielsen data, there were 11.2 million posts about the awards ceremony on Twitter, an increase of 75% over last year.

In contrast to the record-breaking ratings, Ellen DeGeneres, who is very popular and well-known in the United States, received a lot of criticism for her performance at this awards ceremony.

Mainstream media such as The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Entertainment Weekly all expressed disappointment with her performance, and the awards ceremony itself was also described as "long,"

"boring," and even "full of errors."

The highest ratings for this year's Oscars came when the "Best Director" award was presented.

Martin's acceptance speech maintained his usual sense of humor: "...I am here again, thank you for voting for me. Recently, many media complained that I used too many Chinese elements in the movie, and it seems that I am trying to please them. So, what do you think? "

. .. .......

"90% of the debt of the United States is owed to China, and 90% of the goods are made in China. What's wrong with me trying to please China? We should be more respectful to creditors and suppliers."

Laughter.

"The Chinese are not easy to mess with. One Li Xiaolong can knock down everyone present. What about 1.4 billion Li Xiaolongs? So guys, really, be more respectful."

Laughter.

"Okay, now I want to thank some people. It may be a long one. Please listen patiently."

Laughter.

"Some people may be missed. Those who are missed, please remember that it is my brain that forgets you, not my heart. I still love you in my heart. ”

Laughter.

“I want to thank…”

Martin’s speech eventually exceeded the time limit, but no one reminded him to finish quickly, let alone urge him to leave the stage.

Even the next day, The New York Times highlighted this phenomenon:

“As a guarantee of the ratings of every Oscar, Martin’s speech has never been timed. Others cannot exceed the time limit, but Martin can exceed the time limit at will, even if he uses up the entire Oscar time.”

“Even the Oscar Organizing Committee once invited Martin to be the host.”

“But Martin refused.”

“Otherwise you will see an Oscars ceremony called ‘Martin Talk Show’, which I think will be very interesting.”
