Paramount unexpectedly became the biggest winner of the Golden Dragon Award, because Paramount's Truman's world and Saving Private Ryan won many awards successively, and finally two awards: Best Director and best film.
Paramount did not hesitate to put all the bonuses of $100 million won by Truman's world into his own account and did not give it to the crew at all.
Even the 30 million prize for best actor won by Jim Carrey, paramount shamelessly asked for 15 million.
As for the bonus of saving the soldiers, because it is a film CO produced by Spielberg's DreamWorks and paramount, and it is also the best director award, paramount has no face to ask for money, but Spielberg took the initiative to give paramount a 10 million bonus.
In this way, coupled with the bonuses of other awards, Paramount's income from the financial awards alone reached as much as $140 million.
Soon after the 1998 financial report was released, paramount made a profit of $60 million, and its share price soared a lot, which made other film companies envy it.
Looking at the Golden Dragon awards, I wish the next big winner was myself. After all, the bonus of the Golden Dragon awards exceeded the box office of many film companies in a year.
In particular, many small film companies, relying on bonuses alone, exceeded all their box office share and made a lot of money overnight.
Therefore, after the award ceremony, almost all the senior executives of film companies took the initiative to find the senior executives of thousands of films. Soon, the CEOs of various film companies also called boss Jia to congratulate the success of the Golden Dragon Award.
At the same time, they promised on the phone that in the future, all their artists and films will participate in the golden dragon award every year, and they will not miss it for a year. At the same time, they almost touted the Golden Dragon Award as the first award in the world.
As for the original Oscar, no one cares at all.
According to the final statistics, more than 70% of all the bonuses awarded this time were distributed by various film companies, and few actually fell into the hands of the crew members.
Especially in Truman's world, except that Jim Carrey took 10 million out of his remaining 15 million bonus and distributed it to other members of the crew, all the other bonuses were deducted by the film company.
Only Daqian himself awarded the bonus to his crew. Daqian didn't get one point, and all of them were equally distributed to all members of the crew.
The natural result is that all Hollywood filmmakers are moved by Daqian and envy Daqian's employees. Many new filmmakers put the first goal of submitting their resumes on Daqian.
Even many veteran filmmakers have chosen to leave their original company and join Daqian film after the expiration of the contract, which has greatly expanded the strength of Daqian film.
Of course, this has also aroused the dissatisfaction of many Hollywood film companies, but the problem is that even if they know the problem, they can't solve it, because they can't divide all the bonuses equally among the crew.
And they dare not go to Daqian's trouble, otherwise Daqian's Golden Dragon Award will directly refuse their films. What should we do?
Anyway, this is the big Yang Mou. Even if a larger film company can see through it, there is no way. It has to hold and hold a thousand.
The price is that Daqian has to throw out hundreds of millions of dollars almost every year. At present, it is naturally a loss, but in the long run, it is not good.
This year's highest achievement award was not awarded, but this is normal. The highest achievement award is not fixed, but an award that will not be awarded until there are outstanding films released.
Finally, with the music, the second golden dragon award was completely over, and the whole Hollywood also had a quiet change inside.
However, it is worth mentioning that at the end of the Golden Dragon Award, Nintendo announced almost at the same time that they would sell a game "pet elf" designed by the creator of Pokemon and game genius Tian Jiri, which has more than 200 lovely pets carefully designed by Tian Jiri and richer game content.
Nintendo said directly in the publicity copy that this is a spiritual sequel to Pokemon, which is more fun than the previous one.
And this time Nintendo made a huge cost. Almost at the same time as the release of pet elf, it announced that the TV animation of the same name of pet elf would be broadcast all over the world.
This makes countless Nintendo fans instantly cheer up, but there is also noise among players. Just listen to the name. I'm afraid this pet elf is a game similar to Pokemon. Is there a smell of plagiarism?
Of course, with the existence of Tian Jiji, the founder of Pokemon, plagiarism doesn't seem to count. Anyway, players are like this. They are very strict about game plagiarism, but they recognize people and don't recognize the company.
As long as it is a game developed by the so-called founder, it is definitely not plagiarism. Is it still plagiarism to copy your own?
This is exactly why Nintendo has worked hard to get tanjiri and give tanjiri all the conveniences, as well as high salary solicitation, in order to produce a similar game of Pokemon, which will not be criticized by the players.
When this pet elf is carefully made by Nintendo, it will not have any quality problems. Whether it's game quality, bug, game playing method and art, it's all top-grade. Even boss Jia couldn't help playing the game for a while and praised it.
Facts have proved that Nintendo's calculation is quite good. After the launch of pet elf, the GBA version sold 1.2 million copies, breaking the sales record in the first month since GBA's launch, and double the data.
However, with the record breaking sales of "pet elf", a new problem lies in front of Nintendo, that is, whether to launch a thousand machine version.
Nintendo's GBA, a year earlier than in history, was launched in mid-1997, and there are thousands of machines. Zhu Yu, the overall configuration of GBA is also better than that of GBA in another world. At least it can't be much worse than that of thousands of machines.
With the surplus power of GB, the sales volume of GBA has also sold nearly 10 million units in one year.
This achievement is almost miraculous in the eyes of many game companies, but it is extremely bad in Nintendo's eyes.
According to their plan, as an upgraded version of GB, GBA had to sell 30 million units in the first year of its launch under the record of nearly 200 million GB units sold all over the world.
After all, the first year is a golden age for the sales of a game console. As time goes by, the speed of buying players will be less and less. If the number of 30 million units cannot be exceeded in the first year, it may be difficult to exceed the sales volume of 60 million units in the next five years.
As a result, GBA took out the sales data of 10 million units, which made Nintendo's face pop.
