The Best Screenplay Award at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards ultimately belongs to "Birdman". This unique work aimed at the theater stage and the film industry, with a powerful and talented "one shot to the end" long shot , the Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu's style is vividly displayed. Following last year's Alfonso Cuaron, the Mexican director once again shines in the awards season, and the momentum of "Birdman" is also climbing.

So far, another year of the cake has come to an end: "Boyhood" won three trophies for best drama, best director, and best supporting actress, becoming the biggest winner; then "Birdman" won the best screenwriter award and music award. With the best actor in a comedy category, and the other seven awards for seven films, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association once again achieved "unbiased everyone's delight."

However, it is still too early to say the pattern of the second stage. The average strength of the major film companies this year is very close. The real key is still hidden in the academy's public relations, which also means that the second stage is still possible. Countless unexpected developments are possible.

The best overall situation at the moment is undoubtedly the Sony Classics, with "Blast Drummer," "Still Alice," "Fox Hunter," "Nightcrawler," "Leviathan" and "Mr. Turner" all still poised to win Oscar nominations. the possibility of-

However, having too many choices is the trouble of happiness, and how to arrange public relations resources is crucial; at the same time, Sony also needs to face another thorny problem:

hacking incident.

Before the Golden Globes, Harvey Weinstein mentioned one thing while talking to his younger brother, "Sony is too busy right now", which is not to imply that Sony Classics has too many projects to choose. Dazzling, but in suggesting that Sony Columbia is overwhelmed.

Just a month and a half ago, there was a hacking incident in Hollywood that caused a sensation all over the world and made major film companies stunned.

On November 24, the hacker group Peacekeepers released emails from employees of Sony Columbia Pictures, involving company executive compensation and Sony non-distribution film copies, and the direct purpose of this operation was to "block the film" interviews 'released', but the subsequent fermentation of the event was very bad.

"Interview" is a work shot by James Franco and Seth Rogen in conjunction with the Bad Boys, depicting an assassination attempt against North Korea/North Korea/Supreme Leader.

The hacker operation said that once the film is released, they may release further radical actions, and may even be similar to the "September 11" incident; judging from the investigation report of US intelligence officials, the whole incident seems to be related to the North Korean/North Korean official There is an inseparable connection.

The whole incident became more and more intense in the next six weeks. Sony Columbia Pictures started a tug-of-war with hackers, refused to compromise easily, and finally prepared to force the release on Christmas Eve, but allowed major theaters to choose The right to stand, this forcible move has caused an uproar in Hollywood, with supporters and opponents engaged in heated debates, and the development of things has deviated from the original track.

In the end, the development of things became more and more tense, and Sony Columbia Pictures temporarily postponed the release of "The Interview", but there is still no conclusion as to what the follow-up should be.

If it is only about whether a movie should be released, then the incident is far from being an uproar, and it is more about the selection and decision-making of sensitive topics by the management; but the real deterrent of the hacking incident still comes from the joint effect——

The content of the emails published by hackers detonated countless industry insiders! Any piece of inside information may involve all aspects like pulling a radish out of mud.

For example, the emails between Sony Columbia Pictures co-chairman Amy-Pascal and the industry's top producer Scott Rudin have repeatedly discussed Angelina Jolie, Angelina's hopes David Fincher is in talks to direct the project "Cleopatra". In the email, Scott said Angelina was "a limited but spoiled child", but he Don't want her involved in the Steve Jobs movie she's planning.

For another example, Amy Pascal informed Scott Rudin by email that she was about to meet with President Barack O'Kwonhai, whom she called a "race/ethnic/ist"; but Scott did not think that He thinks they should talk more about African-American films, "Django Unchained," "12 Years a Slave," "The White House Butler," and other works about American slavery and the pre-civil rights era, which clearly don't The president remains prejudiced.

For example, George Clooney sent an email to Amy Pascal, complaining that he did not fall asleep for 30 hours after reading the negative comments of the Hollywood media on his self-directed "Allied Treasure Team"; This work also changed his orientation to his directorial career.

The content of these emails is absolutely free, covering all aspects and corners of the Hollywood film industry. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp and other actors are no exception. Renly, the hottest person at the moment, naturally did not get rid of the topic. Amy called him a "difficult guy" in the email, and Scott responded that "he is just a noble aristocrat."

Every email is like a ticking time bomb that could detonate the spotlight if you’re not careful—it’s like standing under the spotlight and ripping off that gorgeous Vanity Fair suit to reveal the lice-covered lining underneath.

Although the above debate is confusing enough, it really detonated the whole Hollywood

It is still the "pay issue" that is talking frenzy in the dock.

At the beginning of 2014, the two works of "Rogue One" and "Jurassic World" successively broke new salary highs, and adjusted and changed the entire salary structure of Hollywood. In the past year, Hollywood actors have or More or less profit, Renly, as a key figure in breaking the pattern, has undoubtedly become the first person in Hollywood.

In terms of actresses, Jennifer Lawrence is the focus of the moment. Although she does not have the ability to change the entire salary structure, she will also become two people with outstanding performances in "X-Men" and "Hunger Games". Ten million members of the club; more importantly, she is about to have her own absolute heroine status——

In the second half of the year, "X-Men: Apocalypse", Jennifer will replace James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as the core heroine.

However, among the many emails exposed by the hacking incident, it mentioned the salary of last year's awards season's hit work "American Hustle":

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams are each paid seven percent of the final profit, while Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and director David O Russell The income is nine percent of the final profit.

Some people are bound to say that the difference between the income of the protagonist and the supporting role is objective, but the reality is far from the case:

If you simply talk about the number of scenes, Jeremy Renner has less scenes than Jennifer and Amy, and he is far from being the top of Hollywood's top line, and can only be regarded as a member of the Hollywood first-line camp. There is a slight gap between the positions of Jennifer and Amy.

If you want to talk about box office appeal, Jennifer's Hollywood power is the top one, and the other four actors are not "box office types", so there is no so-called box office appeal. The real focus should be Jennifer.

What's more, "American Hustle" has declared from the beginning of the project that this is a star-studded movie, and all five actors are the protagonists, on an equal footing with the director. In the Oscar race, Jennifer, Bradley and Jeremy signed up for supporting roles, while Amy and Christian signed up for the lead roles, but there was no obvious difference in the roles. They are all protagonists", a multi-line intertwined film, which is evenly divided.

But now?

According to the final data, Jennifer and Amy should earn around $9 million, while Christian, Bradley, Jeremy and David earn less than $12 million. Nearly three million dollars, that's 30 percent of an actress' salary.

As the main actor, the status, weight and role are almost the same, but the pay gap is so obvious, it can even be said to be a huge gap. This is undoubtedly a powerful impact.

In particular, Jennifer Lawrence's current momentum is somewhat unstoppable, but she is still treated like this. The so-called parallel with Renly looks more like a bubble, which can be burst as soon as it is poked, so intuitively and so vividly presents the Hollywood industry. The internal level differences undoubtedly detonated the focus of discussion.

"Sex/sex discrimination" and "equal pay for men and women" immediately became the core focus of Hollywood. After Renly broke the pay structure for all actors, now the Screen Actors Guild hopes to use the power of Jennifer Lawrence to break actresses Pay ceiling, this will be another war——

Mighty and vigorous, this wave of momentum swept across Hollywood, and even Harvey Weinstein was behind it - if Jennifer Lawrence can really push the event, then her personal salary Able to create new heights, and at the same time, personal prestige will also rise to a higher level, just like Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and others, who really have their own influence among the actors.

Things got out of hand like this. It is estimated that even the hackers themselves did not expect it. How did the situation develop to such a point?

This is the dilemma that Sony Columbia Pictures is facing: internal and external troubles, even other major Hollywood film companies have accused Sony Columbia of security problems, and even they have to act with their tails tucked in, and the matter of "equal pay for men and women" is even more It's an untouchable hot potato.

Therefore, the best situation now is Sony Columbia Pictures, but the most complicated situation is also Sony Columbia Pictures.
