Hollywood Road

"Director Stanton, can you talk about the feeling of winning the best director Oscar for the first time?"

In front of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Murphy had just walked from the red carpet when more than a dozen reporters blocked him in the interview area, throwing various questions at him and Gal Gadot.

"Miss Gadot, are the social problems in the United States really what you said in your acceptance speech?"

Murphy and Gal Gadot both said it backstage at the Oscars. They ignored the reporters, and under the protection of the organizer's staff, they went directly to the Hilton Hotel and came to the noisy No. 1 Inside the banquet hall.

It's Oscar night, the party that Vanity Fair throws after the Oscars.

Because when they left the Dolby Theater, they were stopped by reporters and delayed for a while. Murphy and Gal Gadot came over late. At this time, many people had gathered in the banquet hall, especially tonight. The award winners celebrated with craziness.

Murphy quickly found his own table, pulled Gal Gadot and walked over. Robert Downey Jr., who won the best actor tonight, was talking with Margot Robbie who was a loser. Drinking, two glasses were already empty in front of the two of them.

"Our protagonist is here!"

Margot Robbie saw Gal Gadot, ignored Robert Downey Jr., and raised his glass towards Murphy, "Cheers to Murphy!"

"Well said!" Robert Downey Jr. also raised his glass, "We want to congratulate Murphy!"

The rest, such as Philip Raschel and Helena Espora, also stood up and raised their glasses together, "Cheers!"

Murphy has already asked for two glasses of wine from the waiter, first handed Gal Gadot one, and then raised his own glass, "Guys, cheers!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Murphy's excitement that hadn't dissipated was mobilized again. He talked with Robert Downey Jr. and others while drinking. He had worked so hard for this moment, and now was the moment to enjoy it.

After staying for not long, because too many people came to congratulate Murphy, he drank a few more glasses and already felt drunk.

"Let's go back." Gal Gadot suggested, "If you drink any more, you'll be drunk."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded. He didn't want to lose his composure in public, so he waved to Robert Downey Jr., "Go ahead, I'm leaving first."

The two of them didn't care about anything else, they left the Hilton Hotel and went home directly.

It was a long night, and for many people, it was also a sleepless night, such as many entertainment reporters. Oscar is definitely the headline of all entertainment news the next day.

"The biggest surprise on Oscar night, Murphy Stanton ended his ten-year run and won the best director, and "Diego Ross" won the best director, best picture and best actor, becoming the biggest winner!"

"Last night, the Oscars came out one after another unexpectedly. "The Artist" was upset and only won a few innocuous technical awards, and was completely suppressed by "Diego Ross"!"

Even the leading newspapers in the United States, the entertainment pages of the three major newspapers were full of news about this year's Oscars ceremony.

""Diego Rose" created the biggest surprise of this year's Oscars. In the last three heavyweight awards, it defeated the previously recognized popular "The Artist" and at the same time gave Murphy Stanton his first taste of Oscar's best award. As a director, although Meryl Streep won a Best Actress statuette for Weinstein Films, the number of awards is far from the previous expectation. It can be called the most frustrated group of people last night! "

--"Washington post"

"The world held its breath when young Murphy Stanton, the winner of the Best Director Award, took over the heavy statuette from Tom Cruise. The best director record passed by, but no one can deny his greatness, and Hollywood has entered the era of Murphy Stanton!"

-- "Los Angeles Times"

""Diego Rose" is among the four most important awards,

It is a surprise, but it is also expected to win the best actor, best director and best picture one after another. [] For director Murphy Stanton personally, this night is undoubtedly an "incredibly ecstatic night". This is a great personal victory for Murphy Stanton, and it is also a victory for the youth reform of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences! "

--"New York Times"

As for the entertainment media, most of them also praised Murphy.

"There is no doubt that Murphy Stanton is becoming a film master, a true master, and the means of expression that his lens language can provide are always the most talented and most exciting."

-- "Hollywood Reporter"

Of course, just like after every Oscar in the past, there are voices of doubt in the media, especially those tabloids, which like to create some topics at this time to attract people's attention.

"Shady! Murphy Stanton's award is full of shady. The film "Diego Ross" is not as good as "The Artist" in terms of artistic value and popularity. The three awards for best director and best picture are entirely the result of the operation of CAA and 20th Century Fox, this is not a victory for a movie, it is just a successful public relations!"

Although the nonsense of this tabloid is closer to the truth in some aspects, no one will care, including the frustrated Weinstein Films. After all, from the 1990s to now, there is no successful person behind any Oscar winner. PR and operations?

There are many doubts like this. Compared with other films, "Diego Rose" does not have many advantages, nor is it completely outstanding.

However, Murphy didn't care about these things. He won the best director statuette, which cannot be changed. Moreover, the mainstream media is basically in a position of praise, and those tabloids can't make waves at all.

Another point is that these Oscar statuettes can completely change the situation of "Diego Ross" in the film market.

In any case, the influence of Oscars in North America and even the world cannot be underestimated. The three heavyweight Oscar statuettes, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, besides the huge glory, can also be directly transformed into economic benefits.

Talking about money in front of the Oscars seems particularly vulgar, but look at the major companies in Hollywood, especially Weinstein Pictures and the Weinstein Brothers, why are they competing for Oscars, really just for art and glory?

I believe that any normal person can easily make a judgment.

The Oscar effect, reflected in the film "Diego Ross", the most direct is that the previous box office data has increased by a bit.

The film "Diego Ross" has not been completely released from North American theaters until now. As the distributor, Twentieth Century Fox has made great efforts. Before the Oscars, the film was only left in North America. There are less than 400 theaters, and the screening rate is only a pitiful less than 3%. On the second day of the Oscars, "Diego Ross" followed the previous extended screening, and the North American theaters and The screening rate has once again been greatly expanded. The number of theaters in North America has reached as many as 2,200, and the screening rate has even increased to nearly 25%!

The most important thing is that a considerable number of North American fans, influenced by the three heavyweight Oscar statuettes of Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, went into the theater one after another, or watched it again, or watched it for the first time. Watching this film once made the single-day box office of less than 50,000 US dollars exceed 3 million US dollars in one fell swoop, and in the following weekend, it reported 5.54 million US dollars, 6.46 million US dollars and 5.1 million US dollars for three consecutive days. Another $17.1 million was collected.

Coupled with the accumulation of previous working days, the North American box office of "Diego Ross" has slowly approached the $100 million mark!

In everyone's eyes, it is inevitable that the film's final North American box office will exceed 100 million US dollars.

Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox, after a long period of restrictions on overseas releases, finally made "Diego Roth" available at the most important venues in Europe, Latin America and the Far East the day after the Academy Awards and the following weekend. In the film market, although the film is limited by its own type, it is impossible to sweep the overseas market like a summer blockbuster, but it has an Oscar halo. In seven days, it has harvested nearly 40 million US dollars from various overseas markets.

"Diego Ross" has finally passed $100 million worldwide.

In addition, in those relatively small overseas markets, Twentieth Century Fox adopted the operation strategy of selling out the screening rights of "Diego Ross". On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, China Film Group received a sale fee of 5 million US dollars.

Although this income is not particularly large, it is already quite rare for such a type of film. If "Diego Rose" hadn't just won the Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture The three heavyweight Oscar statuettes can't even be sold for a third of the price, and it is more likely that China Film Group will not even watch this film.

The future income of the film will increase with time, and the box office is only a part of the film's income. Although many peripheral copyrights are still being negotiated, under the circumstances of the Oscar halo, the TV copyright of "Diego Ross" And online copyright and DVD sales will double or even more than ordinary niche films.

Moreover, as long as the North American box office of the film exceeds the threshold of 100 million US dollars, the sales of peripheral copyrights can be increased again.

A week after the Oscars ceremony, the turmoil in the media gradually came to an end. Murphy also ordered a showcase to place his own Oscar statuette.

But arriving at Waves Manor with the showcase comes a piece of bad news about Catholicism. .
