Chapter 409 Thinking of winning the Oscars, there are several steps in total
As we all know, the Oscars are awarded by voting, which requires the 6,000 members of the Motion Picture Association of America to vote for them, and they must organize a public relations team to recommend films to them.
In the past, public relations may have required the film company to invite the judges to watch the film, or store the DVD of the film to the judges, everyone can enjoy the film, push the cup and change the lamp to spread the word-of-mouth, and send some small gifts made of gold when mailing the work, so that the judges like their films.
The reputation of that film is high in the circle of judges, and which film has a high probability of winning the award.
If the actor's performance can win the recognition of the judges, the probability that the actor will be crowned emperor is high.
If the cinematography of that film wins the unanimous praise of the judges, that photographer can prepare an acceptance speech in advance!
It is also necessary to arrange for the main creative team of the film to appear on TV variety shows and be interviewed by newspapers, so that people all over the world can know that their films are well made and their films are big hits.
For example, in the year when the eldest cousin won the film, the producer Weinstein did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite the team that had campaigned for the president of *** public relations to publicize the eldest cousin. After making her 23 years old.
Weinstein, old man,
Known as the Oscar Making Machine!
The public relations are almost over, and it usually comes to December every year. At this time, it is necessary to apply for the four major weather vanes of the Oscars. They are the Golden Globe Awards, the various union awards, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, and the National Critics Association Awards.
The Golden Globe Awards are the highest award in the media, voted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the influence in the American film industry is second only to the Oscars.
Then there is the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, which is judged by the most authoritative journalists and film critics across the country, and whose film tastes are extremely similar to those of the Academy judges, so it is an award that cannot be ignored by film teams.
The third is the National Review Association Awards, the earliest of the four bellwether awards and the government's official honorary awards, with only three Association Awards for Best Picture not nominated for the Oscars for Best Picture in the past 21 years.
It can be said that if you are forgotten by the National Review Association Awards, it will be difficult to toss any more storms even in the next awards season, so wash up and sleep early.
Finally, there are all kinds of union awards, what are the directors' unions, actors' unions, and producers' unions......
These unions nominate and select what they think is the best work and director of the past year, and the best thing is that the judges are the same people as the Oscars!
If a film can have all four major weather vanes with all kinds of nominations, then congratulations, the probability of the Oscars in February is 80%.
Walking to the doorstep is the critical moment.
How to take out the opponent becomes a top priority.
Even if the word of mouth is there, the public relations are in place, and the awards are all taken. But other films are not vegetarians, so you have to use some crooked brains at this time.
For example, in the 71st Oscars, Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" would have undoubtedly won the Oscar for Best Picture, but a few days before the awards, there were reports criticizing the film for being too bloody and violent, and it was inappropriate for teenagers to watch it. So the best picture of that year was given to the slightly inferior "Shakespeare in Love".
Even the old skin has been tricked!
The 75th Oscar "The Pianist" was the most popular among the Best Picture nominations, and Weinstein struck again, but it was too good to be blacked out because the movie's reputation was too good. could only stuff the media with a copy of the director's black material, and the water army went out again, and finally "The Pianist" failed miserably to his release of "Chicago".
In the 85th Oscar, Sister Model Worker's "Assassination Ben**" was a big hit, and she won a lot of outpost awards, especially the attribution of the actress, which is almost certain.
However, a few days before the awards, history repeated itself again, and the Senate jointly accused the film of exaggerating the violence and torture of the US military and deliberately smearing the US military heroes.
As a result, not to mention the heroine in that year's Oscars, this crew only won a sound cut award.
With his superb performance in "The Revenant", Xiao Lizi finally won the long-awaited Oscar. But in fact, he had already qualified for the championship before this, and the 77th Oscar was nominated for the best actor with "The Aviator", due to the prejudice of the academic judges, who thought it was too young and too handsome, and unfortunately lost to Jamie Fox in "The King of Soul Singers".
Until the 88th Oscars, after five nominations, he finally won the best actor with "The Revenant". Because handsome guys over forty years old have lost their former advantages, the old men who have embarked on the academic school have always liked actors to torture their acting paths.
The 90th Academy Awards, which attracted global attention last year, has just come to an end, and the General Administration actually used "Wolf Warrior 2" as a participating film to represent China to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?
Although the box office in the United States is very dismal, it is not even as good as many super bad movies. But I still insisted on making it a participating film.
Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!
This is not a movie, this is saying: It doesn't matter which country you are from to stir up trouble, I will take you down!
Don't mess with us!
One can imagine the look on the face of the old man Oscar.
Sure enough, the primary stage was brushed off.
If every fan is pregnant with a World Cup plot, then every fan has an Oscar dream.
Since 87, the Italian director's "The Last Emperor" won the 60th Academy Awards for Best Picture.
As if seeing a glimmer of light, I felt that Westerners would be interested in the history and original culture of hunting, so I made a local film and sent it to the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
In the past 20 years, various local films mixed with political and social issues have become the mainstream of applying for Oscars, "Furong Town", "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "Farewell My Concubine", ......
The directors tried their best to show the dirty, messy, vulgar and poor and white of the backward period, and the people were portrayed as ignorant, ignorant, barbaric and backward, deeply catering to the stereotypical prejudice of Europeans and Americans against China and satisfying their sense of superiority.
These films were well received by the Oscar jury, but they still did not win the final award.
Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is the first Chinese film in the history of Chinese cinema to win an Oscar.
The directors are crazy again, as if they have taken the pulse of the Oscars, and they have swarmed to shoot nondescript family ethics martial arts films, "Heroes", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "Ambush on All Sides", "Wuji" and "The City is Full of Golden Armor......
watched the judges not eat the martial arts set, and began to turn to the historical reality of the characters, "The Ballad of Yunshui", "Mei Lanfang", "Tangshan Earthquake", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "1942", ......
In 13 years, even the General Administration may have given up, and began to fish in troubled waters with literary and artistic niche movies based on the principle of love, "The Nightingale", "Tang Xuanzang", ......"Get Out!
To put it bluntly, the Oscars were originally a gathering of insiders in the American film industry, with an annual party, showing off fashion, rubbing traffic, stimulating the market, and opening for the box office and consumption in the coming year.
If you want to mix in the films of more than 200 other countries, then give you an award for the best foreign language film, so that you can fight for your head.
Therefore, the gold content theory of the world and the artistry of the film itself are definitely not as good as those of the other three major film festivals, but people are very cheap, and the more you can't get it, the more you feel awesome!
