Chapter 215: Staying Sober (part 2/5)
Oscar...
In the past two years, under the influence of a lot of political correctness, what has been awarded has been shocking!
But the bad guys are still centered on the movie and try to avoid the phenomenon of dividing pork.
Domestic film festivals...
A lot of the time what comes out has nothing to do with the movie itself.
In fact, from the perspective of the media, it is normal to report bad news without good news, so most good movies are tragic...
Because the basis of drama is conflict, and without conflict there is no story.
Of course, conflict ≠ tragedy.
It's just that in general, comedies rarely win awards, and there are individual examples, such as "Life is Beautiful", but rarely...
There are too few movies that can tell a big tragedy in a comedic way...
Even if it was a happy ending, it was a fiasco.
This does not meet the requirements of the above for domestic films - positive energy!
Therefore, many screenwriters say that our movies are contrary to the whole world...
But it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you're strong enough, you can come up with a new set of rules.
Lu Xiaoran has long had no hope for the Oscars...
But if he can win an award, or have a chance to get a few nominations, he is still willing to do a PR...
People are like this, and if you go all the way alone, it will be successful.
However, people are social animals, after all, movies are art and knowledge, and they must be passed down from generation to generation, and no one can learn to make movies just by watching a movie.
If you want to learn, you need a teacher, there are teachers, there are techniques, there are standards, there are standards, there are awards, there are awards, there are film festivals, there are film festivals, there are film festivals, there are authorities, you can't get around this link.
In the eyes of many people, whether in the industry or ordinary audiences, the Oscar is the world's most awesome film award!
Just like Orange buys out "La La Land", why buy it out?
The main thing is the Oscars!
Without the blessing of the Oscar, no matter how much you blow, it is useless!
However, the probability of "The Martian" winning the Oscar is much lower than that of "Gravity"...
"It's difficult, David said that you can only get a few technical nominations at most!"
"What about the best foreign language film?"
Lu Xiaoran replied: "... It's not a good chance that this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film should go to "The Salesman"..."
Sugar Candy doesn't speak...
……
In North America, the highest single-day box office of "The Martian" soared to $8.9 million, and on the fifteenth day of its release, the box office exceeded $70 million...
Another space-themed movie "Space Traveler", which far exceeds the word-of-mouth and attendance rate of the same schedule...
"Space Traveler" is terrible: it's about "an interstellar journey in which a passenger wakes up too early and sees that he still has 90 years to get there." Feeling lonely, he woke up another female passenger and got into trouble with her, and then the heroine knew the truth and fell out with him, and reconciled after going through difficulties".
"The Martian" has 1,500 theaters, and it's not a contestant!
Hollywood's current screenwriters are too weak, or rather afraid to take risks...
Why only one to wake up?
Can't you wake up two, and then fight the landlord with three people?
Do some multiplayer sports?
Just kidding, I mean, since the male protagonist can wake up other people, why only satisfy one of them, he can wake up a few more girls and have a test of human nature!
Or simply open it up and let the heroine find that there are dead bodies in the dormant warehouse...
It turns out that the male protagonist has awakened a lot of women before, and every time he finishes falling in love, he will be killed when he gets tired of playing.
And then the female protagonist killed the male owner.,And then,She couldn't stand the loneliness and began to play the idea of hibernation warehouse...
Speechless, such a good setting, filmed a work like garbage!
However, "Star Wars: Rogue One" is too powerful and has always been the single-day box office champion...
"The Martian", "The Voice", "Moana", and "Space Traveler" can only grab the second place...
……
Any big-selling work, regardless of whether the reputation is good or not, there must be people who pick on it.
Lu Xiaoran has encountered it many times, the previous "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was sprayed as an "anti-Japanese drama" by the famous film expert Zhu Dake; "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" was criticized by Xu Gang, a tenured professor at the University of Illinois in the United States who claims to study films, as a "farce"...
Lu Xiaoran ignored it...
Love, people are here to eat!
It's the same with "The Martian" this time, in the early stage of the release, some people said 'pseudoscience', 'garbage'...
When it broke 2 billion, it was said to 'fail' by the "Beijing News" and "Financial News" - "The Beijing News" will not be absent, but will be late!
has broken 3 billion, and there are still a group of people who tirelessly splash black water...
surpassed "The Mermaid" and topped the box office list, and someone posted on Zhihu 'What do you think of "The Martian" surpassing "The Mermaid" at the box office', most of them are positive answers, including many Zhihu big V...
Most fans, including film critics, really admire Lu Xiaoran!
Do you think about what state was before Lu Xiaoran, before Chinese science fiction movies?
A wilderness, out of one and one dead.
"Source Code", the first time to get involved in science fiction theory, "Gravity" was born, which directly pulled Chinese science fiction into the world's mainstream level, "The Martian", the behind-the-scenes team is almost all Chinese special effects companies!
single-handedly drove the theme of Chinese science fiction!
Take a look at Orange's follow-up film list, "Moon 2", "The Wandering Earth", "Supernova Era"...
No matter who it is, when it comes to him, it will definitely give him a thumbs up and praise "Awesome!"
Of course, there is also opposition, the biggest reason - hindering other genre films...
"The Martian" hurt "The Ferryman", "Railway Flying Tiger", including "Where Did You Go That Summer"...
Day, you made a bad movie, you were stepped on by a good movie, and you still complained?
That Lao Tzu was not admitted to Peking University back then, is it the fault of Peking University?
Then, as the box office of "The Martian" gradually approached 4 billion, there was another voice on the Internet, led by Cheng Qingsong: Sad, starting from "The Martian", Chinese films can no longer withstand criticism, why?
First took a screenshot of himself being besieged by "The Martian" fans, and then said 'a movie can't be perfect, we point out the shortcomings'...
It also posted the conclusion that 'The Martian is a movie that no one dares to criticize'...
That's the kind of thing anyway...
Caused a bunch of people to applaud and hold high the banner of 'if there is more than criticism, praise is meaningless'...
In the "Dialogue" column, the host Chen Weihong asked this question:
"Director, do you think 'The Martian' is the perfect movie?"
Lu Xiaoran shook his head decisively: "Definitely not, film history... I think the only movie that can be called perfect is "The Godfather". ”
"Then what do you think of the comments on the Internet that say 'The Martian' can't be criticized?"
“… Of course, you can criticize, but I hope that those who criticize the movie can maintain an objective argument, if it is simple abuse, subjective speculation or even moral kidnapping, then don't blame netizens for scolding you..."
"This is a causal theory, brainless spray will bring brainless siege, and it is not ruled out that there is a case of hot-headedness, but after all, it is a minority. ”
Chen Weihong nodded: "You're really right, do you care about bad reviews?"
“… I'll watch and keep myself awake..."
