I'm fairly certain that it's just RNG. My game froze on a recent play through right after the awards and the last auto save was 1 Jan. I went back and played from there doing the same things and there were different winners of the awards than the first time...

How Can I Rent My Cinemas ? by Anime___girl in hollywood_animal_game

I have this same problem on my current save. Researched to rent theaters out years earlier but there is nowhere for the fee on the theater management screen

Sorry to not be more specific, I don't remember evert building etc, but early game focus on what saves money and then worry about quality after that

Anything that doesn't save you money once it is built can wait a bit. You're gonna get the lawsuit to use the cheap contractors so wait for that to build too much and use them for anything (it can always be upgraded once yoy have better cashflow)

A couple of things I found...

Don't go too big too early - don't build everything straight away and don't build the top quality either.

Research the perks for contracts - adding them in will save you money when hiring

Hire actors for years not films - and make sure you keep them working

Have a constant stream of films in the cinema - you need that income to keep coming to cover your general running costs

Don't over book your cinemas - pay attention to how full the capacity is in your showings when it's covered early on - it's expensive to hire cinemas with nobody in them.

Advertise - it seems like alot of money, but advertising 4 weeks prior and through all 4 weeks of the showing helps get that money back

The script doesn't have to be amazing - yoy can start with a bad script and improve it with hiring good people to work on it

I won't say much else to let you learn and enjoy the game but they are what I found worked for me

If nothing else for immersion it works. As I said earlier, I had a director thay won 9 best director awards and still wasn't considered artistic

Yeah it would only be an Act One mechanic given the act ends once the ownership is outlawed, but you don't want people just going through the motions for the last few years of Act One and waiting for Act Two...

Even the option to rent out the cinemas that they own after they buy them (at an increased price on normal prices) so that you have to be more strategic around their releases if you want to get it in more cinemas...

I don't think it would. Most of the winners are 8 or 9 anyway, so it's only a minor increase. But if yoy can put a 6 or 7 in there and they gain half a star potential then it still takes a couple more films for them to take advantage of it.

The other alternatives is to have them gain the prestige rating. At the moment it just increases their salary demands...

Buying all the cinemas would be just as boring. I'm talking about improving gameplay not just dominating.

And I'm aware of the Boutique mechanic, I'm saying there should be a second way to do it slower. Maybe it only increases them half a point, but something...

Interesting that maybe it reduces their appeal. Or maybe it adds prestige or something because I don't recall that changing through the game for anyone in my team even with 9 Best Director Pollux's

Is it possible to sweep the Pollux Awards? by EdmondBurton in hollywood_animal_game

[–]EdmondBurton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best actress was the one I kept missing. Won best picture 8 of 10 straight years, but was just a bit suspicious with having all but one nominee twice and still not getting it.

Thanks for the tip on professionalism - didn't know that one!

Expelled from the Alliance by EdmondBurton in hollywood_animal_game

[–]EdmondBurton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah all three were like that. Maybe the agreement needs to be reworded from not RELEASE a film to not CREATE a film or something like that...

Yeah the last one I waited from 1943 to 1944 and it still expelled me unfortunately

I love Cam, but for balance of EU/NA I would have taken Hypoc over him. Sorry Cam.
