Chapter 396: Forgotten Animated Short Film Exhibition!
The Oscars are the most influential film awards in the world, and there is no one, a carnival party for movie fans.
Movies are the most concerned themes, cartoons, animated short films, or peripheral animated short film exhibitions, you can imagine how low the attention will be.
The notice of the start of the Oscar Animated Short Film Festival, Yang Baobao has received it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and the members of the animation department who were angry about not being selected for the Oscar have basically died, and the company can't even send people over, and the chance is slim.
In fact, deciding to go to this qualifier to attack Oscar, Su Luo thought about it carefully, summed up all his strengths and weaknesses, and came to the conclusion that it was very difficult to fight out of the encirclement there.
Even if "Cat and Mouse" won an Academy Award in a previous life, it doesn't mean anything, this is determined by various factors in that animated short film exhibition.
Times have changed, with the development of film and animation technology, animated short films have entered the era of amateurs, and non-professional creators can also use rich animation techniques to express themselves, and the creative techniques are unrestrained, emphasizing the originality and perfection of the sense of form.
If commercial animation is the mainstream of animation, then the mainstream of animated short films is art short films, especially the entries, which focus on experimentation, and are more of a stepping stone for creators to get more financial support and produce animated cinema feature films.
The strong individuality of the animated short film has led to an all-encompassing theme, the pursuit of dreams, the cherishing of warm family affection, the thinking of love, the thinking of human development, the thinking of war, the subversive thinking of conventional understanding, the discussion of human nature, etc., which are short and concise, with profound connotations, and are only oriented to adults, and the audience is very narrow.
DreamWorks animation is a mainstream commercial animation, and the biggest advantage compared to other works is that the audience will be wider than other animated short films, and the public will be more likely to accept it.
However, because of the environment and trend background of the Animated Short Film Exhibition, those who are willing to watch animated short films are all adults who really like to watch animated art short films or pay attention to advanced animation technology.
If you can take DreamWorks' animation to American TV stations, it will probably not crush the rhythm compared to the box office and ratings, but in this animation exhibition, the biggest advantage will be gone.
Unless you can enter the official list, after the start of the main competition, the selection platform will be changed, and it will be screened in specific cinemas, and the audience will become very wide, and the attention will become very high, and at this time, DreamWorks' animation advantages will be infinitely magnified.
That's why it's important to say that the shortlist is important, and the image project that fills the slot, the Oscar Animated Short Film Festival, is a sinkhole.
According to the rules of the Oscar Animated Short Film Festival, the entries will be shown in the screening room, and due to the large number of entries, hundreds of animation screening halls will be open at the same time, and each screening hall will play multiple animated short films in a loop.
All the audience can get before entering the screening room is a playlist in front of the door, a bunch of cartoon names, authors, origins and honors.
Therefore, if there are internationally well-known short films in a screening hall that have won many awards, they can still attract many audiences to watch in the screening hall, and other unknown scumbags, with so many choices, who will pay attention?
It is precisely because of this that Su Luo really wants to go to the United States, as long as he finds a way to enter the big list at the peripheral animation exhibition, the situation will be reversed, and everything will be different.
I didn't go to the United States because of how famous I was, yes, Su Luo's classical music is very famous in countries around the world, but it is limited to classical music. (You often listen to classical music, I guess you like it, any classic you feel familiar with the melody as soon as you hear it, but ask the name and author of your song, most people will be confused, see if I am right.) )
What's more, classical music is not mainstream pop music, although Su Luo has been on the old American Times Magazine, but in fact, his influence in other people's territory is limited, Su Luo never expected that any film and television works will be released like in China, and there will definitely be a large number of music fans to help the field.
These are two concepts.
Just like our giant panda Meng foreigner with a bloody face, the darling of the world is right. Especially in the United States, when the US government shut down, many Americans came out and said that we can do without civil servants, but we have to watch the live video of the panda cubs, after the shutdown of the Washington government, the live video of the zoo was also closed, and we couldn't see the cute panda cubs, and our happiness was reduced!
Go to the streets of the United States and ask the giant pandas in China, almost everyone knows about this cute animal, and they still like it, but if you want to ask where the giant panda comes from, few people really know that it is Sichuan.
After China's gradual rise, its presence in the world is strong enough, right?
However, in fact, if you go to the streets of the United States and ask the name of the Chinese capital of the United States, many Americans will not know that it is Beijing.
It's not that Americans don't have knowledge, it's just that in the eyes of ordinary Americans, the United States is the best country in the world, and other countries and places are third world countries, so there is nothing to pay attention to.
Don't laugh at Lao Mei, to put it bluntly, this is a manifestation of national pride. Aren't we the same, ask you about the capitals of Japan and South Korea around China, and probably know about them, and ask you about the capitals of Myanmar and Laos, and I guess you are also confused.
The laws and phenomena of the past and present are that people in the city laugh at the countrymen, the developed areas despise the backward areas, and the backward regions worship the developed areas.
There is a blockbuster movie coming from Hollywood in the United States, we will be ecstatic, full of expectations, a Vietnamese movie is going to enter the Chinese market, hey, can you watch a movie in that ghost place in Vietnam?
In the eyes of American audiences, the same is true, Chinese cartoons? There are Japanese cartoons over there, so it's better to watch Japanese ones, a reason.
Su Luo's popularity in the United States is far lower than imagined, and Su Luo can still see this very clearly.
If you want to go to the United States, it is nothing more than to be able to do something at the animated short film exhibition and attract some attention, which is limited, but it is better than nothing, and now because of visa problems, the last resort has also been pressed to death.
The Oscar Animated Short Film Exhibition has low attention, there are few audiences who will go to the Animated Short Film Exhibition, the number and variety of works are still large, the popularity of DreamWorks Animation is equal to zero in the United States, and the works submitted to the competition have not won any other international awards, and the backward cultural and entertainment industry in China finally made up for it, which invisibly added a DEBUFF to DreamWorks.
The combination of various unfavorable factors has made it almost impossible for DreamWorks to succeed, and it has not even announced the competition.
Now, the only thing that can be done is to put your mind in place, pray for another three seconds, hope that a miracle will happen, hope that the American audience will recognize the goods, and then wait for the results.
A peripheral competition that is not taken seriously, the domestic media will not report it, and when the official nomination comes out, they will be interested, now, the star dads and cute babies are dominating the screen, there are too many topics, and the layout is not enough.
What Oscar animated short film exhibition, like it doesn't exist, no one pays attention.
And miracles always happen at times like this.
