Chapter 475 Strike
Before we knew it, the lively Christmas holiday had passed quietly. After nearly three months of strike negotiations, Hollywood once again ushered in another year's Oscar Awards ceremony.
Of course, affected by the strike, this year's awards ceremony can be said to be less star-studded than in previous years.
As for what caused this strike, we have to start from the beginning of the year.
In early January, negotiations between the Writers Guild of America (WAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on screenwriter remuneration broke down due to differences of opinion, and WAG then officially launched a strike.
Then, at the end of January, negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and AMPTP on AI and actor salaries broke down again, and SAG announced that it would go on strike together with WAG from that day on.
During this period, SAG Chairman Fran Drescher publicly criticized the studios' exploitative behavior several times, claiming that the studios continued to cut the salaries of screenwriters and actors, but paid millions of dollars in salaries to CEOs, and repeatedly emphasized that "actors are facing the threat of artificial intelligence, but film companies are still greedy."
The strike came with great force, triggering a complete shutdown in the Hollywood film and television industry, which lasted for nearly three months before it was resumed with both sides making concessions.
Although the negotiations for the new contract have been successful, the infighting in Hollywood that was forced to be exposed has also affected the filming and promotion of the film in the past few months. "Blair Witch", which was originally scheduled to start shooting in early February, had to be postponed until after the Oscars.
Fortunately, neither "The Veil" nor "The Initiators" were greatly affected by this turmoil: the former is still in the post-production stage, and most of the work is directly handled by Greta; the latter just finished filming before the "general strike" began and is currently in the post-editing stage.
As for Su Lingxi himself, he had already flown back to the capital after the filming of "The Enlightener" was completed. On the one hand, he wanted to return to the country to take a vacation, and on the other hand, he planned to communicate with the Huaying Group in advance about the pre-release promotional activities of the film - if nothing unexpected happens, "Days and Nights in Bugoli" will be scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day.
Perhaps it was the halo of good luck that played a role in this. Su Lingxi returned to China at the right time. Unfortunately, the paparazzi who were waiting in Los Angeles were all disappointed.
However, Su Lingxi could avoid the paparazzi in the United States, but could not avoid the social invitations that came in like snowflakes from China.
As the box office results of "Bugoli" came out, this phenomenon intensified in the imperial capital: not only did the box office on the first day reach 3000 million, but the box office for the next three days also fluctuated around 2000 million, and the box office in the first week was as high as 1.5 million!
To earn 1.5 million yuan in the first week is almost impossible for a romantic art film - this means that Su Lingxi has once again created a box office miracle in the history of art films!
Think about those art films in the history of mainland films that failed to reach a box office of 1 million yuan in half a month or even more than a month, and then look at the dismal box office of Duan Yanche’s previous film. It is clear who carried the box office of "Bugoli".
As soon as the box office results came out, those film producers who thought that Su Lingxi would lose popularity due to being out of work for more than a year instantly changed their faces and became attentive and attentive again.
Even the fans on the Internet straightened their backs - although they are all die-hard fans of Lingxi, they are actually worried about the gap in her career. After all, Lingxi has been famous for six years since she became famous in "Red Careerist". It is impossible for a person to be popular forever. She might start to go downhill at any time.
Although they sincerely hope that this day will come later and later, those dark and creepy keyboard warriors on the Internet don't think so.
The fans endured the "pessimistic comments" in the forum for several days and finally waited until the first week box office was announced. While they were excited and happy, they also quickly launched a "counterattack plan."
[Original Poster: Compare "Crime and Punishment" and "Bugoli", who is 001? ]
[1L: 951 hasn't been compared yet, why is 00hua so anxious? ]
[2L: Tsk, tsk, tsk, some people are still winning Golden Eagle Awards, while others have already won Oscars. I feel like the difference between Han Lina and Su Lingxi is like the difference between me and the President of the United States. Can you please stop trying to cheat me? ]
[3L: If you just look at the box office and Douban ratings, you won’t be able to ask such a stupid question. One has exceeded 4 million in 1 days, and the cumulative box office of the other is only million... Go home, kid.]
[4L: Although I think Han Lina’s performance in Crime and Punishment is actually OK, and she is not bad either, she has already been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards]
[5L: Originally, Su Lingxi and her group of fans have learned the ways of ugly celebrities, worshipping foreigners and fawning on foreigners every day, and they dream of getting a green card]
[6L: Don’t go crazy upstairs, when will a Golden Horse nomination be equated with an Oscar for Best Actress? I’m just kidding.]
[7L: The fans of resourceful people are really brainless. No wonder Director Tang couldn't even tow a plane. The box office was so bad that it became his black history. There is really no hope.]
[8L: Does anyone still remember that the script of Crime and Punishment was snatched by Han Lina herself at the beginning...but the result was not as good as Bugori directed by a new director. Is it because of poor vision or poor acting skills? Fans with good resources can choose one by themselves]
[9L: Han actually has always liked to secretly imitate Su. He even bought a press release saying that he would take over. He became quiet after Crime and Punishment flopped. Don't make people laugh to death.]
[10L: Sister Su is now on the path to becoming a world-famous superstar. We are not on the same path. Do you know more about the Hollywood $ million salary club?]
[11L: I am just a passerby. I feel like there is no other actress of Su Lingxi’s caliber in the country. She should be considered the most successful Chinese actress in the entire film history.]
[12L: She was stunningly beautiful at the age of 18, became an instant star at the age of 19, and won many Best Actress awards at the age of 20. She won an Oscar at the age of 24 and became a top-tier star... How can a person's first half of life be so wonderful? ]
[13L: Don’t forget, Sister Su is still learning how to be a producer and investor. She is truly a role model for us grown women.]
[14L: I am so lucky... My strength, looks, and intelligence are all top-notch. Can I have such a good life in my next life? ]
……
The change in the wind direction on the forum did not attract much attention from Su Lingxi. Having reached her current position, what she needs to pay attention to is no longer the trivial matters on social platforms.
In addition to the small piece of land in front of her, she also needs to see something longer-term.
