This year, on behalf of Chinese films, the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice"...

I didn't even get a nomination.

In China, there is not much publicity, and there are very few people who discuss it, unlike last year, when I chose "Wolf Warrior 2", and then I was ridiculed by a bunch of people...

The relationship between Chinese cinema and the Oscars is a bit like the relationship between Chinese literature and Nobel, which has a long history, profound meaning, and constant change.

Before Mo Yan won the title, the relationship between the literary world and Nobel was similar to the psychology of filmmakers now.

At first, I felt that the distance was very far, then I felt that the path was wrong, and later, after calming down, although I couldn't look at it with the Nobel Horse, it was a worldwide standard after all.

It wasn't until one day, when Mo Yan won the award, that the Chinese people knew, felt it obviously, and truly realized that Chinese contemporary literature, which has been vigorous, progressive, and gradually integrated with the world for so many years, has reached the point of being completely equal to world literature in terms of content quality, language creation, life texture, ideological content, emotional concentration, artistic style, and so on.

What is national is what is global!

Of course, a Nobel is a Nobel and a movie is a movie and should not be mixed up!

The Nobel Prize is a competition for scientists from all countries to show their scientific research achievements, and there is no stipulation on how many winners there are for scientists of various nationalities, in other words, it is also who wins the award, so it is also meaningful for us to expect scientists from our own countries to win the Nobel Prize.

However, the Oscar-American Academy Film Awards, to put it bluntly, is a scene in the American film industry, and it doesn't make much sense to take out a place for films from other countries around the world to compete, and to put it bluntly, it is just framing the so-called "diversity", which doesn't make much sense.

But if you have to say that this thing has anything to do with politics, you don't have to...

Iranian films won several Best Foreign Language Films, and when the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, the Oscars also awarded several Best Foreign Language Films to Soviet films...

……

This year's Oscars originally invited American comedy actor Kevin Hart to host, but due to the doxxing of his homophobic remarks on Twitter in the past, which caused controversy, Kevin Hart apologized to the LGBT community and resigned as host...

You see, that's American-style freedom of speech...

Do you still want others to respect your values?

Respect you paralysis!

"Congratulations yet, Best Director!"

Damien waved his hand: "It's unlikely!"

“… Huh?"

"I watched "Roma", the movie is so good, it has the purest beauty of the movie, it is impossible to refuse, Alfonso Cuarón is definitely the director closest to the master of cinema at this stage!"

Indeed, after Alfonso Cuarón won the Oscar for "Gravity", this "Roma" is very personal and stylized, does not care about entertainment at all, does not care about ordinary audiences, only himself, is the kind of pure audio-visual language show, the whole film, it can be said that there is no story, not even a protagonist, the real protagonist is the social atmosphere of Mexico in 1971, and the director's ambition is to restore the impressions and feelings of childhood memories...

The whole movie is like a dream!

Damien Chazelle, as a professional director, can certainly see the excellence of "Roma"...

"But this movie was made by Netflix!"

Netflix and the theater industry have irreconcilable contradictory positions on the issue of the "90-day window" — that is, the three-month time difference between the release of the film and the online broadcast — so several major theater chains do not allow Netflix movies to enter...

"Last month, Netflix became one of the members of the MPAA!"

Shen Ming was taken aback: "Really?"

"Of course!"

MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America, used to be only a traditional Big Six, and Netflix joined it to become the Seventh, marking Hollywood's official recognition of its status in the industry!

Damien suddenly smiled: "The investors of "The First Man on the Moon" and "Fredkin" are all Netflix!"

“… You're not short of investors right now!"

"Hehe..."

After chatting for a few words, the awards ceremony began...

……

The whole Oscars ceremony, lackluster ...

Nothing surprising.

By the way, originally this year's Oss Ai watched the preparation of reform, adding a Best Popular Film Award. As the name suggests, this award is given to the film that performs better at the box office...

According to the Academy's idea, the establishment of this award, to a certain extent, is to establish a new concept of film history writing, to formally put on the table commercial films that have been excluded by most film historians, and to recognize their importance to the development of film history.

- Recording changes in popular trends.

But the opposition was loud, they felt that it was a blasphemy against the Oscars!

In the end, it didn't make the trip...

In the fifteen years of the Oscars, the ratings have dropped from nearly 50 million to less than 30 million today...

There are also a lot of highlights...

For example, "Black Panther" won three awards for best costume design, art design, and film music, breaking the curse that Marvel has never won an award.

For example, Damien Chazelle won the best director, and he gave his acceptance speech, first apologizing to Alfonso Cuarón, the director of "Roma" - just like him!

Then he said, "I've always wanted to tell a love story, and the love story I want to tell is big, unapologetic, and universal." Two people come into each other's lives, and love helps them achieve their dreams. But no one wants to invest in me, I met Shen Ming, oh my God, he is like a bright light illuminating me, I am really grateful to him, not only invested in "La La Land", but also brought me the imaginary Bastian, you are really a great actor!"

Hehe, he also knew that it was impossible for Shen Ming to win the award...

Shen Ming smiled and applauded in the audience, a little moved.

But there are no regrets!

I feel that I have changed a lot, and what I insist on, as long as it is right, no matter who the other party is, I will raise the long sword in my hand like Don Quixote.

After reaching a certain height, they will take extra care of their feathers.

He wants to win the Oscar, it's very simple, just change his nationality, or don't be so absolute, just get close to the white left, and make a few opinions on refugees without pain, anyway, it's very simple to get a United Nations goodwill ambassador with his popularity.

However, there are some things that run in the blood.

I really can't do it, that's the bottom line!

After Emma Stone won the movie, she was also very excited, and thanked Shen Ming, not as numb as Damien...

At the end of the Best Picture, when the award for "Green Book" was announced, Spike Lee angrily waved his arms and left, but he was stopped at the door and forced to return to his seat, "Get Out" director Jordan Peele did not applaud, and the attendees sitting next to him refused to applaud...

Well, they think Green Book is insulting blacks!
