The most sensitive thing about the college’s public relations is that not everyone is professional and objective enough. This is why people always say that “nomination depends on strength, and winning award depends on luck.”

The nomination stage is a big wave, and everyone must show enough strength. The early publicity and offensive is similar, and the information that each judge can accept is limited. The influence of favor votes is infinitely weakened after being distributed to this small Hollywood circle where everyone knows each other. Therefore, only the powerful players can be shortlisted. Of course, there will always be dark horses in the nomination stage, which is also one of the academy's public relations capabilities, which also adds some fun to the nomination list.

Being able to support works with slightly inferior strength onto the nomination list is the most magical part of the academy's public relations, and it is also the embodiment of the absolute strength of the Weinstein brothers who have been in Hollywood for more than ten years. However, this is a minority after all. The reason why dark horses are called "dark horses" is because they are too small.

However, when entering the award voting stage, there are only five candidates for each award, so the favor votes quickly began to concentrate. This is the stage where the college's public relations can show its strength. The skills are very simple, it is nothing more than to build relationships and get close to them. However, how to grasp this scale is a profound knowledge, which is also the reason why there is a professional position of "public relations" in society.

Gradually, the discussions in the circle began to become lively. Is Gwyneth's performance really comparable to Charlize?

However, people did not find a subtle change: at first people thought that Gwyneth could not be compared with Charlize at the same level, and Charlize's performance was considered to be sufficient to record history, while Gwyneth was far from excellent. But now? Now people are seriously discussing the "possibility" of this matter. Although it is just a possibility, and most people's answers are no, this slight change means that the balance of power on both sides of the balance has begun to tilt.

At the end of this lively year, the Weinstein brothers officially took the stage of history and gradually shone their own light. In fact, no one should forget that it was this brother who brought "pulp novels" to the height of "Forrest Gump" and completely changed the historical status in independent films.

At the same time, DreamWorks finally began to shine. The second round of re-expanding "Save Soldier Ryan" attracted many attention. Together with the "thin red line" and "beautiful life (la.vita.e.bella)", it formed this year's "World War II movie" year, which caused countless discussions.

On the other hand, Paramount, who was late to realize, passed most of the past January 1999, remembered to promote the "Trumen's World". This movie is the only outstanding work that can be compared with "Save Private Ryan" in the past year, and Hugo has even given a hymn performance in the movie. Many people believe that Hugo's performance is definitely worthy of the second Oscar for the Little Golden Man!

The first awards season kicked off in a chaotic and busy manner, everything seemed to be inactive, as if everything was the same as before, but as if everything was different. In this noisy, the 56th Golden Globe Awards were about to kick off, which also marked the official history of 1998.

In 1998, which just ended, although there was no "Independence Day" and no "Titanic"'s long-lasting prosperity, the entire market showed a downward trend, but from the perspective of the film market, the total box office increased by 9 percentage points compared with the previous year. Considering that the "Titanic" film contributed 600 million yuan in box office, it can still achieve such outstanding results in 1998, which shows some clues: the entire North American film market is currently in an upward posture.

This is undoubtedly the best news for the opening of the blockbuster era.

However, the work that ultimately won the year-end box office championship is very intriguing. "Trumen's World" became the only work this year with a box office of over 300 million US dollars, and became the year-end box office champion in 1998. This is the second time Hugo's career as an actor, winning the year-end box office champion in North America after "Independence Day". The momentum of the world's number one person is unquestionable.

The victory of "Trumen's World" is worth pondering, especially as the blockbuster era is about to bring, a comedy movie with only $60 million has reached its peak. This is also the result of the "Home Imperial" that has won the year-end box office championship again after eight years. This also poured a bucket of cold water on the market that was overheated due to computer special effects, which seems to be a very contradictory result of the overall market.

Not to mention that "Trumen's World" itself is a profound work. The black fairy tale reality contained in it has affected all aspects of people's lives everywhere in the past few months. Even during the awards season, the emergence of the college's public relations has made many people calm down and think about this reality: has the entertainment to death really come inevitably? Will the dream of movies be gradually eroded by the greed of Wall Street?

All of this is the influence of the "Trumen's World". As the year-end box office champion in North America in 1998, "Trumen's World" will surely continue to play its remaining energy in the next few years. Unconsciously, this work has become a classic film history.

The second-place box office runner-up in North America is Steven Spielberg's war masterpiece "Save Private Ryan". This work won 216 million US dollars in North America and successfully occupied the second place. However, this result seems too inferior to the championship, which is also a myth in the entire market:

There is no doubt that "Save Private Ryan" is outstanding, and it is even considered one of the best war movies in film history. Even without "One" there will be countless supporters; but the box office of this work has been so far behind the "Truemon World", and it is still the case that the audience has already had an outstanding box office of 200 million US dollars. So, why is this? Why is the box office of "Save Private Ryan" not able to exceed 300 million? Is it because the heavy "Schindler's List" of war movies is only 205 million US dollars, or is it because under the background of the blockbuster era, "Truemon World" is a wake-up call for Hollywood?

This is a topic that is worthy of consideration by film practitioners.

The work "Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" directed by Michael Bay occupies the third place with a box office of 200 million US dollars. This work starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck continues the strong position of the visual effects blockbuster, but compared with the investment cost of 140 million US dollars, the box office of this work in North America is far from expected. Despite this, the two starring actors Bruce and Ben still usher in a new career high again.

In particular, Ben Affleck, who lost to "Full and Better" at the last minute last year, lost the Oscar Little Golden Man, leaving Ben and Matt Damon silent for a while. However, the success of the "Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" has made him reappear in the public eye again, and his future is limitless.

"The World of Truman", "Save Private Ryan", and "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", these three works became the only three works with a box office of 200 million in 1998, ranking among the top three in the year-end box office. This result is really interesting and worth chewing on.

After these three works, "I'm crazy for Mary", "Beasts Team", "Tea Boy (the.water Wave), "Monster Doride", "Rh.hour", "Godzilla" ranked third to tenth respectively.

Overall, a total of 18 works had a box office of over 100 million yuan, but only three works had a box office of over 200 million yuan. It can be seen that unlike the previous two years, this year, this year was the year when the entire market was developed and all works exploded collectively.

Among the top ten works, "The World of Truman", "I'm crazy for Mary", "Tea Boy", "Mirty Doctor Do Lidd", and "Rush Hour" occupy half of the world and is very eye-catching. In addition to "Rush Hour", it can also be included in the range of action movies. The other four works are completely authentic comedy movies, but they all ranked in the top ten, and their outstanding performance made all film companies unable to help but look at them.

Among them, "I'm crazy for Mary" witnessed the peak of Cameron Diaz's career. Although Cameron and Hugo ended their enviable love life, her career is getting higher and higher. After last year's "My Best Friend's Wedding", Cameron's "I'm crazy for Mary" hit a new peak. The $116 million achievement not only ranks at the palace army, but also won her praise, occupying a place in North America with the attitude of a new generation of "American sweetheart".

In addition, Adam Sandra also relied on the "Tea Boy" to become a highly-watched comedian like Ben Stiller, and is even considered to have the hope of becoming another box office superstar after Kim Carrey.

Behind these prosperous scenes, those who are interested can notice a small detail. Among the top ten works on the year-end box office list, "Trueman's World", "Save Private Ryan", and "Tea Boy" all have close ties with Enjin Elite Brokerage. In addition, Cameron, who "I'm crazy for Mary", and more than half of the actors in "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" are also from Enjin Elite Brokerage. "Godzilla" director Roland Emmerich is also a subsidiary of Enjin Elite Brokerage.

This small detail has no meaning to the audience, but it has extremely important positive significance to Hollywood industry insiders: because it means that the Engaging Elite Brokerage Company has larger connections and stronger operational capabilities, and they can bring benefits. This is crucial to anyone.
