In New York, Warner's CW TV, in the studio, Li Qian is participating in an interview with the TV station.

It was all arranged, and Li Qian also tried his best to talk about the impact of modern media and the entertainment industry on people's thinking and freedom.

"Generally speaking, the situation in the movie "Truman's World" is almost impossible in reality at present, after all, no matter in any country, this kind of reality show is illegal, this is just an extreme of reality shows, and it is also an extreme of the entertainment industry. ”

First of all, first denied the authenticity of this situation, Li Qian did not come up and say that hey, the current entertainment industry, and how hateful the media is, etc., should pay attention to a rhythm when speaking.

Immediately afterwards, the host seized the loophole in Li Qian's words in a timely manner, "Li, are you saying that it is almost impossible to achieve now, so do you think that one day in the future, there will be a program like "The Truman Show"?"

"It's not impossible. ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Truman is pitiful. He lived in a huge lie for 30 years, but who made it happen?

It is all the viewers who watch "The Truman Show", their presence can bring huge profits to "The Truman Show", not only the show itself, but also the goods that appear in it will also get extremely high attention, and the other actors who appear in it may also get more jobs.

Driven by huge profits, the entertainment industry is destined to keep moving forward, and all kinds of programs are getting closer and closer to the bottom line, and it is not surprising that one day, extreme situations will happen naturally. ”

Compared with the domestic interview, Li Qian has relatively no bottom line, and if he changes to China, he will definitely add that the core of the entertainment industry is the audience, although the wealth created has nothing to do with the audience, but it serves the audience.

This is the core of the entertainment industry, and everything depends on the audience.

If the audience doesn't watch it, there will be no such show, but this is impossible, and it is impossible for such a show full of voyeurism to be watched by no one.

Just throw the pot to the media and TV stations, the audience is innocent.

"Lee, a lot of us are concerned about what happens after Truman leaves the studio, will he become a superstar?"

The host didn't ask directly about the topic of freedom, but started with the movie itself.

Li Qian sighed, "Actually, when the audience is free for Truman, they are already controlled by the TV station, and the scene when they leave the studio, the ratings of the TV program will definitely reach the peak, and it will also bring more topics, which the audience unconsciously takes the initiative to do when they are excited."

Truman has accumulated super popularity after 30 years of live broadcasting, of course he will become a superstar, he still exists in the public eye after he goes out, and it is difficult for him to escape the control and consumption of the TV station.

Even if there is no TV station, people will talk about it on the streets, and after so many years of live broadcasting, his awakening is undoubtedly the most bombshell in the "Truman Show" program. Naturally, this bombshell became the talk of the public.

When people are discussing him, it is actually invisibly adding traffic and commercial value to the program, to the TV station, to the actors in the program, and to the products that have been endorsed.

It seems that Truman has been freed, but in fact he is still controlled by the TV station, but this control is invisible, and the same is true for the audience.

That's the saddest thing, people can never escape the control of TV and the media, and sometimes they can subtly change your thinking through a variety of programs and news without you knowing. ”

The host nodded again and again, expressing his deep opinion, "However, compared with Truman, as people who have long been submerged in the information, entertainment, and culture provided by the media, they are still immersed in the anesthesia of the media.

Many of the realities that come into contact with may have been made, and the "facts" heard are sometimes also fabricated facts, and people seem to be more willing to accept their changed lives, and to be subject to the media without complaint, and to become slaves to the power of the media. ”

It seems ironic for a presenter, who is also a media person, to criticize the media on TV for turning the audience into slaves of the media.

However, the audience in the audience did not disagree at all, as a show that mainly criticizes the status quo of society, it seems that this is normal.

People begin to think that they are influenced by the media every morning from the beginning of their morning news or newspapers.

I don't know whether any of the news above is true or not, I can only write about it and watch it myself.

Then I went to work and got most of the information I got on the Internet, and most of the information I got came from the media, and I chatted with my colleagues, and my colleagues also learned about it from the media.

After work, it's the evening news when I get home.

All day long, unless the things around you, everything else is obtained through the media, it's a little scary to think about, and when you were deceived, you don't know anything.

The whole talk show revolves around the control of the media and the entertainment industry over the people, and the people have become slaves of the media to put it mildly.

It doesn't matter if it's right or not, just pull it on this.

......

After recording the show, Li Qian flew back to Los Angeles.

There are many people who can't participate, after all, it's a foreigner, and if you preach on TV every day, it is estimated that it will make Mi Lijian disgusted.

One east and one west, flying back and forth is also a tiring job.

However, after returning to Los Angeles, Thomas told Li Qian a good news.

With the criticism of the media and entertainment industry becoming an important topic these days, some judges feel that "Truman's World" is more worthy of being a best foreign language film and are willing to vote. ”

"That's great, PR will bother you. Li Qian said with a smile.

In fact, the main purpose is not much box office, and now the box office has reached 90 million US dollars, and it will soon break 100 million, and it is estimated that it will take up to two days.

The box office has not maintained a single-day break of 100 million, after all, several days have passed, and as a Chinese film, the box office restrictions are too great.

However, breaking the North American box office record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for Chinese films is still stable.

More than 100 million dollars at the box office is not the main goal, it is still dominated by the Oscars, and the main public relations target is also the Oscars.

Entertaining films, then there must be a topic that can overshadow this shortcoming, and now attacking the media and entertainment industry is a good place to start.

Don't look at the Oscar judges are also members of the media, but criticizing their own industry will be more noble. Elevate yourself.

After all, they are mainly academics, most of them are filmmakers of the older generation, and the biggest characteristic of the old man is stubbornness.

Unlike the Golden Globe Awards, the Golden Globe Awards are awards selected by less than 100 reporters in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and are essentially a media award or an audience award that understands film and television better.

However, at least the current big hit is not only the Odilli movie "Love", "Truman's World" has also become the best foreign language film favorite.

......

In the following days, Warner's publicity and public relations did not stop, following the demonstrations in Los Angeles and New York, and there were small demonstrations in a small city every two days.

TV stations and media are criticizing the invisible manipulation of the people by the media today, and criticizing the entertainment industry's guidance to the audience, so that the audience has no ability to distinguish themselves.

These reporters, newspapers, hosts, and film critics have all come out to criticize their own industries.

To be honest, during this period of time, Li Qian's biggest feeling is that the media people on Mi Lijian's side are much more professional than those in China.

After all, Mi Lijian's entertainment media industry developed early, and he rarely talks nonsense, even if he is talking nonsense, it is particularly true.

This is called professionalism, and all kinds of quotations and classics come at your fingertips.

Some film critics take a movie "Simone" starring Al Pacino as an example, the movie is about a Hollywood director who got into big trouble because of the sudden departure of the heroine of the movie, and finally used a computer to produce a three-dimensional virtual character to replace the heroine in the movie.

Created by a computer, it tends to be perfect in all aspects, and the heroine, who kills both men and women, young and old, has become a popular idol and has countless admirers.

People ignore the art of cinema and go for a perfect "woman".

There's a plot in the movie where the news of the Oscar nomination overshadows the news of the Zhongdong War and the school bombing.

The film critic based on this, saying that in this society, such a phenomenon is completely accepted by people, and entertainment is more important than anything else.

Media people engaged in the media are criticizing the media's control and guidance of the people, and the people are thinking after reading "Truman's World", and then they are persuaded by the media people to feel that they are becoming slaves of media rights.

Mi Lijian people have been protesting constantly, attacking the media and television stations.

At the same time, "Truman's World" is also continuing its influence, and Mi Lijian's psychological clinic suddenly has a lot better, and many people once suspected that they were Truman, a plaything kept in captivity by others, and suspected that none of this was true.

Psychiatrists say that more and more people are affected, and there are such patients almost every day.

Psychologists analyzed this and analyzed a psychological disease of the heart, named "Truman's sequelae".

As the days passed, the influence of "Truman's World" became more and more significant, and the box office successfully exceeded $100 million.

On February 20th, the voting for the Oscars also ended, and everything was decided.

On the evening of the 24th, the 85th Academy Awards will also be held at the Dolby Theater.

The Dolby Theatre, formerly known as the Kodak Theatre, has long been the venue for the Oscars.

The Kodak Theatre previously paid nearly $80 million to the theater for 20 years.

However, with the decline of film films, Kodak, which was not operating well, filed for bankruptcy protection, and naturally applied to the court to terminate the title contract.

So, starting last year, the Kodak Theater became the Dolby Theater.

There are some Dolby theaters in China, mainly in terms of sound effects.

After waiting for so long, it was finally time to announce the results, and Li Qian also took Deng Chao and them to attend the Oscars in full costume.

After walking through the red carpet, Li Qian saw Li Press, who led the crew of "Youth Pi".

"Director Li. ”

"Director Li. ”

I smiled and said hello, and I entered the room.

One is competing for Best Film and Best Director, and the other is competing for Best Foreign Language Film, and the two Chinese directors appeared together at the Oscars, which should be unique in the history of the Oscars.

With a "click", a Chinese reporter recorded this moment with excitement on his face.
