In the list of nominations for this year's Oscars, "Man of Steel" received five technical nominations, including Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects. As the director and producer of this film, Murphy naturally has The qualifications for admission, but unlike actors such as Chris Evans and Megan Fox, he made a special trip back to Los Angeles to participate in this awards ceremony, more to promote the new film and remind fans that a new The work has already started shooting.

Although it cannot be compared with the Super Bowl in North America, there is no doubt that Oscar has always been one of the most watched programs in North America.

Even though the ratings of the Oscars have been poor in recent years, the average number of viewers for each session is around 30 million, and the average number of viewers for peak hours is 40 million, which is also very easy.

Therefore, the Hollywood industry recognizes that the Oscars, like the Super Bowl halftime commercial, is one of the best film promotion platforms.

Twentieth Century Fox and Weinstein Films also strongly urged Murphy to attend the awards ceremony, and even sought a major award for him.

Since Gal Gadot stayed in France to continue studying and working in the crew, on the afternoon of February 24th, Murphy appeared on the red carpet alone on time.

Los Angeles, which has always been sunny, unexpectedly began to drizzle, but this did not affect the interest of the stars on the red carpet.

For the rainy weather, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscar Organizing Committee seem to have been prepared for a long time, putting up a white canopy to protect the stars on the red carpet, and for Hollywood, which has just experienced a screenwriter strike, this wind and rain is really not considered what.

The bleachers and streets around the Kodak Theater were packed with thousands of moviegoers, and the first stars to step on the red carpet included George C. Rooney, as well as German supermodel Heidi Klum and her black singer husband Hill.

Renee Zellweger sparked screams from fans when she appeared in a backless evening gown; Cate Blanchett strolled down the red carpet wearing a huge, dazzling necklace; Harrison Ford, Penelope - Stars such as Cruz and Hilary Swank also stepped on the red carpet and entered the Kodak Theater.

The two-month-long Hollywood scriptwriters' strike once made people worry about whether the 80th Academy Awards could be held as scheduled. Now that the strike has ended and the suspense has been eliminated, the Oscars has been a blessing in disguise. Continuously set new highs.

As the broadcaster, ABC TV has surpassed 100 million US dollars in advertising revenue for the first time at the Oscars. It seems that the writers' strike has increased everyone's interest in this year's Oscars.

At all major awards ceremonies, the male stars are all black and old-fashioned, with nothing new or interesting.

Therefore, the important task of attracting attention on the red carpet naturally falls on the shoulders of female stars. Hollywood is full of stars today, and a group of female stars who are well-dressed and brave, spare no effort to show off their sex appeal and nobility, and selling sex is no longer limited to low-cut breasts. Back, slanted shoulders, slits, perspective and even retro...the tricks are endless.

Just like male stars, black has always been the safe choice for female stars at award ceremonies. The calm temperament exuded by black can be interpreted as mysterious, sexy, and noble, and there are few mistakes.

But this year's Oscars ceremony, the female stars seemed to agree that a large number of people transferred to the red camp, and all of them chose bright red, the newly rising Anne Hathaway, the last actress Helen Mi Ren and the retro beauty Katherine Heigl, no matter the veteran acting school or the youth idol, all have a soft spot for bright red, bringing fiery enthusiasm to the always noble and classic Oscar.

Just look at the flickering frequency of the spotlights to know how powerful their heat is.

However, even hotter than them were the tens of thousands of people gathered on Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard,

They held up slogans against discrimination against women and in support of equal pay for actresses, and shouted from time to time, completely suppressing the voices of fans on the red carpet.

In recent years, the feminist movement has become more and more prosperous, and has rapidly spread to Hollywood and the entire film industry. The rise of the feminist movement will also have a significant impact on mainstream commercial films.

Murphy vaguely remembered that from next year, some films with female characters as the main characters will achieve good commercial results. Even the Disney princesses who have always sat at home and waited for the prince to save them will appear in the new Disney fairy tale movies. Inside, actively carry out self-help.

The influence of the social and environmental situation on Hollywood movies has always been obvious.

Walking into the media area, Murphy stopped in cooperation, posed in front of the camera, and let the photographers take pictures. His salary and dividend ratio in "Inglourious Basterds" are so high, of course he is obliged to cooperate with the film's publicity plan .

Murphy's work ethic in this regard is impeccable.

As soon as he entered the interview area, reporters and photographers from Fox TV immediately greeted him. Murphy had already prepared for this, and stood in front of a life-sized Mr. Oscar in the interview area, accepting the media coverage of 20th Century Fox. Live video interview.

"Congratulations, Director Stanton."

The middle-aged reporter wearing the Fox TV logo handed the microphone in front of Murphy, "Man of Steel has been nominated for five Oscars, and the global box office has exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars."

"Thank you." Murphy looked both graceful and humble, "This is the credit of the entire team."

Although this superhero masterpiece has long been released from the North American theaters, overseas screenings have continued, especially the better the box office performance of the film, the more countries and regions that were not originally intended to be introduced will join the screenings. Among the ranks, the volume of these markets is small, but their numbers cannot be ignored. By the end of January this year, the total number of countries and regions that have screened "Man of Steel" reached 110.

Naturally, this has brought about continuous rises in the overseas box office. The latest statistics in mid-February show that the global box office of "Man of Steel" exceeded US$1.1 billion in one fell swoop, becoming one of the three highest-grossing films in history. There are only two films in front of James Cameron's "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

As of yesterday, the global box office of "Man of Steel" has accumulated 1.11255 billion US dollars, and this is not the end, it is still increasing slowly with the passage of time and the increase of the screening market.

Twenty percent of any increased box office figures belong to Murphy, so he always pays more attention to the later development of this film.

The Fox TV reporter's question continues. You are ranked first on the Fox Celebrity Earning List. How do you feel? "

"I think this is the best reward for a person who is struggling to pursue the American dream."

Murphy didn't even need to write a draft of what to say on this occasion, "I worked hard, and then I reaped success. I believe that people who work harder will also succeed."

In the 2008 Forbes Global Celebrity Earnings List released by Forbes, Murphy topped the list with a pre-tax income of US$287 million, relying on the high salary of "Man of Steel" and the huge box office and DVD sales dividends.

2008 was indeed a bumper year for Murphy. Not only did he become a recognized first-line director in the industry, he also took the top spot on the Forbes annual celebrity list, and also entered the top ten for the first time in the Hollywood Power Rankings compiled by the "Holley Reporter" place, and it is relatively the sixth place in the front!

Anyone can see that a new director force, like George Lucas in the 1970s and Steven Spielberg in the 1980s, is rising rapidly.

"I heard that your new film is about World War II," the reporter continued to ask, "Why did you choose such a theme?"

"The films I've shot have never touched on history..." Murphy thought for a while and said, "This is a good opportunity. I will tell a completely different World War II story from a special perspective."

After answering several routine questions, Murphy finished the interview, left the media interview area, and walked directly into the Kodak Theater.

He came in relatively late, the hall of the theater was full of people, and almost all seats were filled. In any case, the Oscars ceremony is the top event in Hollywood. Movie fans want to watch it live, and Hollywood practitioners sharpen their heads. A ticket to...

Murphy nodded to the people who greeted him, and found his own seat. His seat was not at the front. In the "Man of Steel" crew, the people here stood up one after another when they saw him coming. Fee hugs.

Especially Chris Evans and Megan Fox, if Murphy hadn't named them to star in "Man of Steel", they wouldn't be able to get the chance to attend the Oscar now.

"Hi, Murphy."

The producer from Warner Bros. nodded and smiled at Murphy, and Murphy nodded slightly, but didn't say much. From the contract point of view, his cooperation with Warner Bros. was over.

In fact, Warner Bros. also intends to invite Murphy to be the producer of the next DC series of films in accordance with Hollywood practice. However, given Murphy's current position in the industry, the remuneration is quite high. Warner Bros. is not willing to part with this part of the expenditure. The cooperation between the two parties Naturally it is impossible to continue.

This is a purely commercial film, and it is impossible for Murphy to lower the price, otherwise it will become a joke in the industry.

Then, the awards ceremony began.

After a short prefix tidbit, Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, stepped onto the stage and started by talking about the just-concluded Hollywood screenwriter strike.

He said in a joking tone, "The past two months have been difficult. The bitter writers' strike has torn Hollywood apart. I'm happy that this fight is over."

Oscar officially ushered in its 80th birthday, and the 80th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.
