"Bonus?" Rowan Atkinson remembered that he didn't get the bonus.
"Isn't it 10 million?" Rowan Atkinson asked vaguely.
"This is the best actor, not the same!" boss Jia smiled, and the guests were about to smoke with envy.
My God, the price of the best actor has gone up, and the bonus has gone up to 20 million in one breath. It's crazy.
However, the envy of the guests came and went quickly, and turned into schadenfreude.
Because they can't win the prize when they come, but those who should have won the prize are not at the scene, which is very comfortable.
"I can't take the money!" when everyone thought Rowan Atkinson would accept the bonus with a smile, Rowan Atkinson said seriously, "I don't need the trophy. I don't need the bonus!"
"That's not good!" boss Jia was stunned at first. He didn't expect that there were people who didn't care about $20 million. His favor for Rowan Atkinson increased a lot. However, he still shook his head and said, "the bonus is naturally going to be distributed. Don't refuse. It's against the rules!"
"If so..." Rowan Atkinson hesitated for a moment, then thought of something, and immediately said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Jia would mind if I use this bonus to make a film?"
"What movie?" boss Jia asked curiously.
"It's an idea I just thought of. It's called Mr. Bean's crazy Oscar," said Rowan Atkinson. "I want to integrate all this happened today into this film. It must be a very interesting story!"
"I like this story!" boss Jia laughed and decided the film in front of the live camera. The angry Oscar committee members rolled their eyes.
You know, this movie must be a satire of Oscar, but they can't help it. Rowan Atkinson is a European and doesn't belong to the United States.
Rowan Atkinson acted very quickly. Less than a month after returning home, he took out the script and showed it to boss Jia. After reading it, he directly threw in all the $20 million bonus. It was released all over the world at the end of 1998, but we'll talk about it then.
With Rowan Atkinson stepping down with $20 million, all the audience know that the next three awards, I'm afraid, are at the level of $20 million. The temptation is going to hook people's souls away.
However, the next best actress award failed. One of the five nominated candidates was present, and the $20 million bonus was naturally saved.
Seeing this result, it is estimated that all human beings in the world, except five women, are about to laugh.
The same is true for the best director award. Originally, man in black was also one of the nominated films. Unfortunately, only the producer and supporting actor came to man in black, and the director didn't arrive.
This kind of award to individuals is naturally impossible to be awarded to others in the crew, so boss Jia saved us $20 million for the best director award.
The two awards saved $40 million in one breath. It's not too wonderful.
In the end, there is only the best film award left.
From this award to the end of the whole award ceremony, we can see that this award is the final award. In fact, in other awards such as Oscar, the best film must also be the final award, which is the highest award in the film of the whole year.
"Before announcing the nomination of best picture, I want to tell you that the bonus of the Golden Dragon Award for best picture is 100 million US dollars!!" boss Jia said faintly.
"What!!" at this moment, all the guests on the scene are really going to be stupid.
Before 10 million and 20 million, although they were equally shocked, they somehow adapted.
But they still never thought that the prize for best picture could rise to $100 million. It's so crazy that everyone's brain can't bear it.
And not only the people in the film industry, but also the film companies that have a lot of money in the film industry are crazy when they hear this number. Everyone's eyes become red from the chairman to senior executives.
$100 million, which is the film box office that 99% of the companies in the world can't earn in a year. This $100 million is directly equivalent to their film box office for several years or even more.
And let alone small companies, even those at the level of the six major Hollywood film companies can't stand this temptation.
Although the six major Hollywood film companies have at least more than $1 billion in global box office every year, the problem is that this box office does not represent profits!
First of all, the box office itself has to be divided. The box office of $2 billion may eventually fall into the hands of the film company only about $800 million. If the shooting cost of the film is excluded, there will be only about $200 million left.
If we exclude the operating costs of the company and the success of thousands of people eating, we may lose money.
In fact, when you look at the financial reports of the six major film companies last year, you will find that three of the six companies actually lost money, and the most one lost $600 million.
Among the other three profitable companies, the least one made only $2 million, and the most was just over $200 million, that is, the 20th century fox, which made the popular money on independence day.
Therefore, the $100 million bonus you give to the other five companies except fox is higher than their profits in the whole 97 years. When they see the $100 million bonus, of course, they are going crazy.
"I announce that the best picture nomination is independence day!" well, Paramount's executives are directly crazy. They don't even have a person in China. Even if they win the independence day, they won't get a penny.
"Star Corps" heard boss Jia's second nomination. People from Samsung pictures, Sony Pictures and Columbia films were also crazy.
Why are three companies crazy?
Because Samsung pictures actually has nothing to do with South Korea's Samsung Group. It is a film company jointly established by Sony Pictures and Columbia film.
So when the name of Star River team appeared, the three companies collapsed.
The three companies have no representatives in China and no representatives on the scene. Of course, they are going crazy.
"Soul catcher" was the third nominated film, and then the people in Miramax went crazy. Their profit last year was only $12 million. This $100 million was enough for them to earn for many years.
"The fourth element 5." well, Columbia and Sony Pictures are going crazy again.
"Finally, the nominated film is Party A and Party B!" boss Jia quoted the name of the last film.
