Chapter 343: If You Want to Vomit
The Oscar organizing committee and the judges naturally can't be left behind, and immediately follow the attack, refuting those people with righteous words are random speculation, and deliberately smearing the fairness and impartiality of the Oscars with bad intentions, and then categorically saying that the nomination and selection of the Academy Awards are 100% fair and will never be affected by any external factors.
The fairness and impartiality of the Academy Awards can be said to be the foundation of the seventy and eighty members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the era is no longer their time, not to mention, many of these old members themselves have not made much achievements in the film industry.
Many of them are forgotten by the times and the industry, Oscar is the foundation of their life, it is the place where they can earn some living expenses, and it is also the only place where they can have the opportunity to show their existence once a year, if the fairness and impartiality of the Oscar is doubted, and the influence of the Oscar is not there, it is tantamount to breaking their foundation and cutting off their opportunity to show their existence.
This is true for old members who have little influence in their old age, and for those who are young and powerful in the film industry, the fairness and justice of the Oscars are also not allowed to be questioned, because if the Oscars are questioned, then what are the efforts and efforts they have fought for the Oscars before, besides, without the Oscars, Hollywood's influence will be reduced a lot, which is related to whether their movies can be well-known outside North America and whether they can make money.
As the most authoritative film award today, the Oscar can bring a lot of income to the film industry every year, especially many movies that are not satisfactory at the box office are pointing to be nominated for an Oscar or even win a lot of money and then make a lot of money, or return to their capital.
Therefore, no matter which member of the academy is concerned, the fairness and fairness of the Oscars are not allowed to be questioned, even if almost everyone knows that the Academy Awards are not fair and unjust, but the refutation that should be made must be done, the position that should be stated must be stated, and the unequivocal and unwavering statement must be made.
You doubt, you don't believe it's your business, but we ourselves are convinced that we are fair and just, whether you believe it or not, we believe it anyway.
The president of the current Oscars told the media: "The Last Emperor is a film based on Chinese historical figures, which embodies the achievements of film art in screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, music, art and other aspects. With a unique angle and structural arrangement, the film smoothly presents this legendary and historically significant event in modern Chinese history. This is a very good film that restores the individual to history, showing the complex form of human nature under the pressure of history, there are distortions, and there are also struggles, the epic value of this film far exceeds that of ordinary biopics, the oppression and erosion of history on the individual, almost a psychological microcosm of an era, I think this film is fully worthy of the nine award nominations given by the judges."
After the Academy Award nominations came out, the last emperor got nine nominations and was questioned by many people in Hollywood, etc., after a series of news reached Hong Kong, the Hong Kong media instantly broke free from the gossip scandal and began to report, many were speculating whether Qiao Feng really spent money to buy the award, but more media were shelling Hollywood to discriminate against Chinese films, not seeing Chinese investment, movies about Chinese people and things won so many nominations.
Because the nomination is more intelligent to show that the movie is really good, you can't say that the nomination is bought with money, if this logic works, then how did you not accuse going out of Africa to spend money to buy awards last year, you must know that out of Africa won a total of eleven Oscar nominations, this is what happened last year, out of Africa eleven nominations, two more than the last emperor's nine nominations, you didn't say last year to go out of Africa to buy awards, but this year said that the last emperor bought awards, you are not a naked double standard, live in the film aimed at the Chinese.
This book, South Korea, Singapore are all following the same tone as the United States, most of them are questioning Qiao Feng spending money to buy awards, the Taiwan media is not excited this time, because both sides are not very easy to say, help Qiao Feng to say, but the last emperor is Qiao Feng and the mainland co-production, is in the mainland, is in the Forbidden City and other places to film, but then question Qiao Feng, and feel inappropriate, after all, they are all Chinese, although the authorities are not happy that Qiao Feng and the mainland are close, but they can't just target Qiao Feng, it's not appropriate.
In Hong Kong, except for those who fight for fame and want to be different, most of them are all in favor of Qiao Feng, and then all kinds of ridicule of Hollywood discrimination, who let last year's out of Africa get eleven nominations and win seven awards, they can have every reason to mock Hollywood discrimination.
All the reporters wanted to interview the relevant personnel of the last emperor to see what they thought about this, but the director Li Hanxiang and the actor Liang Jiahui had already gone to the mainland a year ago, and those staff members also went to the mainland, because the movie Fire Dragon, which tells the second half of Pu Yi's life, started filming.
The rest of the people who can be interviewed are Qiao Feng, but Qiao Feng is at home and does not accept any interviews.
Until this day, Jin Yong, who was busy drafting the Basic Law, personally called Qiao Feng and wanted Qiao Feng to be interviewed by a reporter from Ming Daily.
Qiao Feng, who was worried about Ming Pao, naturally had to give Jin Yong this face, otherwise it would be too important to affect the foundation of friendship that had been established with great difficulty because of such an incident.
"Mr. Joe, what do you think about the fact that many people question the fairness of the Oscars?" After the interview began, the reporter went straight to the point.
"I think all the doubts are nonsense, as the most authoritative film award in so many countries and regions in the world, the fairness and justice of the Academy Awards is well known and recognized, otherwise why would everyone want to win the Oscar?" Qiao Feng praised the Oscars first, if he didn't praise it, if he didn't agree with the fairness and justice of the Oscars, then he would really fall into the hands of those doubters.
"Then Mr. Qiao, what do you think about the last emperor getting nine nominations? The reporter asked two more tricky questions.
Hearing these two questions, Qiao Feng felt that this reporter was deliberately sent by Jin Yong to pit himself.
But after thinking about it, Qiao Feng still replied with a smile: "The academy can give the last emperor nine nominations, I think this is in line with the original intention of the Oscar to encourage the creation and development of excellent films, and I think it is natural to give encouragement and affirmation to a good film.
Qiao Feng said seriously what he wanted to vomit, but although he wanted to vomit, although he knew that it was pure nonsense, he had to say it very seriously, because no matter how disgusting it was, in order to increase the probability of the last emperor winning the award, he could make Chinese movies shine at the Oscars as soon as possible, Qiao Feng felt that it was worth it.
