In a world where the winner is king, whether or not this result is controversial, the fact that "Titanic" created the Oscar myth is finally set.

At the same time, stimulated by the news of the creation of Oscar award records by "Titanic", many early release tickets The Box Office numbers of warehouse countries have shown a clear rebound.

At the same time, Titanic's global Box Office figures have also reached an amazing 1.3 billion 3 2 million USD, directly improving the global movie Box Office record from 1 billion to 1.3 billion USD, and no one can predict the ultimate limit number will be How many.
Eastern 1997 is March 31, which means that most Western countries will usher in the Easter holiday the following week.
Although Easter holidays vary in different countries, there is no doubt that this hot schedule will once again promote global Box Office of "Titanic". Even if North America Box Office will obviously drop after Oscar, the overseas Box Office with full stamina is likely to push "Titanic" global total Box Office to the height of 1.5 billion USD in the next week.
While Titanic continues to attract the attention of hundreds of millions of people, after more than a month of intensive publicity, the date when Firefly Electronics will release Fireflyer, the first MP3 player global on April 2, is approaching.
Although it is a brand new music player product that is completely strange, Firefly electronic generous distribution of 10,000 Fireflyer free of charge, this MP3 player has produced a strong response throughout entire US. After the trial draw of Fireflyer ended, users who still wanted to get this player released information on the trading platform that has just emerged on the Internet. Some people even fired the price of a Fireflyer to 12 million USD.
Traditional music player manufacturers naturally saw the strong threat posed by Fireflyer players to Walkman, CD players and other players. While obtaining disassembly studies of Fireflyer prototypes through various channels, under the guidance of some traditional manufacturers Many media have also begun to promote the threat of the record industry, such as Fireflyer, which is easy to spread pirated music, and even called on the United States Recording Association to sue Firefly Electronics to directly prohibit the production and sale of MP3 players.
In this case, after the United States pop music queen Madonna Siconi opened the negotiation on the digital distribution right of personal records with Warner after the Oscar awards ceremony, it instantly attracted the attention of countless media.
Later, Madonna's contact with Eric on "Vanity Fair" party also quickly spread, which also made Warner Records understand the intention of Madonna and Eric hiding behind her.
Yahoo Music Store did not get online music sales rights from any of the top five Record Company before.
Therefore, the major recording giants also anticipate that if Madonna succeeds, many of their first-line singers will make similar requests. At that time, Yahoo will be able to adopt various breaking strategies for these singers who hold digital distribution rights individually, and Record Company will fall into an extremely passive situation.
Warner Records rejected Madonna ’s application for negotiation of digital distribution rights for the first time. Warner Records Chairman Roger · Ames was at a press conference, rhetoric said that in order to prevent the sale of digital music this extremely easy Spreading the bad behavior of piracy, Warner records will at all costs prevent certain singers from attempting to obtain certain rights of digital distribution rights, and the digital distribution rights of music should not exist.
However, although the attitude of Warner records is very tough on the surface, the situation in private is far from it.
In 1992, Madonna ’s career was in full swing. Therefore, although the cowboy Record Company she founded at that time was still affiliated with the Warner Records Group, she herself had great autonomy and control of Madonna. Distribution rights for all records in 2014.
That is to say, even if the Warner record group disagrees or even does not recognize the concept of digital distribution rights, with Madonna ’s ability to control the cowboy, this company can still separately authorize the Yahoo music store to sell the records released by the cowboy Madonna in recent years. .
The reason why Madonna started negotiations with Warner records is just to get back the digital distribution rights of several records from her debut to 1992, because the copyright of these records does not belong to the denim record, and It is still in the hands of the Warner record group.
Warner's resolute and rude attitude also aroused the rebellious psychology of this stubborn personality in the music world.
On the day Warner Records Chairman Roger · Ames issued the relevant statement, Madonna publicly stated that she would cooperate with the Yahoo music store to sell the three albums held by Cowboy Records online, and claimed that it would transfer the digital distribution rights to Warner. The record filed a lawsuit.
If they are ordinary first- and second-line singers, Time Warner may be able to use cold storage and other threats to make them retreat.
But at the Madonna level, because the two parties are almost completely in a peer-to-peer cooperation, the contract can be very small for Madonna, so these tricks against ordinary singers are already very important to her. Difficult to work together. The executives of Warner Records can only sing red and white faces in turn, trying to make Madonna dispel the idea of cooperating with the Yahoo music store.
Of course, Firefly Electronics and Yahoo will not be indifferent. With the permission of Eric, Firefly Electronics and Yahoo are also very active in offering all kinds of superior conditions to Madonna.
While keeping a close eye on the music industry, after Oscar, Eric's work was busy again.
Although there are still two months left before the summer file, the promotion of the summer film has been fully launched.
This year ’s summer season is destined to not be calm. In addition to a series of live-action blockbusters such as "Casino Royale" and "Bad Boys2", this summer season will have three animated movies released at the same time, which are "Finding Nemo" produced by Pixar. , "Ice Age" produced by Blue Sky Studios and "The Lion King2" produced by Paramount animation.
Obviously, these three animated movies are very closely related to Firefly Group, and as the first sequel to The Lion King that created the miracle of global 900 million USD Box Office, "The Lion King2" is undoubtedly the strongest of the three films .
When the schedules of the three animated movies were announced one after another, Viacom Chairman Summer · Redstone even confidently publicly announced that "The Lion King2" would kill all of "Finding Nemo" and "Ice Age". (To be continued.)
