Chapter 26: Oscar (2/6 Subscription Requested)
Lao Mei herself knows that the so-called freedom of speech is.
They can't talk about race, especially blacks;
They can't discuss the North-South ...
Even though their constitutions advocate political freedom, freedom of speech...
In fact, the discriminative logic is very simple, they think that what they can't discuss, they can beep casually.
They can openly discuss China and blame the whole world, but they just can't say nigga – because it's not cooked!
How can you be racist?
We want to cook!
So, freedom versus cooking itself is a relative fallacy...
American-style universalist values and Chinese-style nationalist values are themselves in conflict!
Knowing this, Shen Ming extinguished his plan to compete for the Oscar...
I have long put my mind on the country - even if I win the Oscar, what can I do?
That's what the West is all about.
In this year's awards, according to the information announced, "Roma" smashed $30 million, and "The Birth of a Star" smashed more than $30 million...
Jinnima is rich!
By the way, "La La Land" also spent 15 million on publicity, and the main public relations are Best Actress and Best Director.
……
"The Wandering Earth" was released in North America for half a month and won $21 million at the box office, and as of now, there are only 200 theaters left in the United States to open the film...
Of course, Shen Ming knew the reason.
Hollywood is still wary of Chinese science fiction movies!
Universal's side is under pressure to reduce the number of theaters, of course, the main reason is that the results of the single theater are not particularly good, except for a few theaters close to the university, there will be many Chinese students to pay...
After "The Wandering Earth" blossomed in North America, the number of IMDb ratings increased, stabilizing at 6.5 points, and foreigners generally thought that they were passing, but they were still far from excellent.
'Rich, amazing, but a little silly in some places...'
There are some plot holes, embarrassing sensationalism, and face-painted female characters. ’
Many people say, 'A lot of Chinese go over the wall to IMDb to give "The Wandering Earth" a star'...
But in fact, there are more Chinese people who have climbed over the wall and scored five stars...
The total box office is estimated to be almost $25 million...
It's already very good, surpassing "Huo Yuanjia" and ranking fifth at the North American box office of Chinese films...
In front of you are only $32.3 million for "Red Fan Zone", $43.81 million for "The Great Wall", $53.71 million for "Hero" and of course $128 million for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
Harris Wilson was a little embarrassed: "... Shen, you also know that the relationship between China and the United States has not been normal recently..."
"It's okay, don't talk about this. Shen Ming waved his hand and changed the subject: "When will the production of "Jumanji" start next?"
Speaking of this, Harris became interested: "How about next March?"
“… I don't have a problem!"
"Shen, you don't seem to be involved in making North American movies this year?"
"There is no good script to find me, after all, North America is the base camp of American movies, and the Chinese are just outsiders after all!"
“… I thought you had some good project..."
"What? Universal is also going to make an Olympic movie?"
Harris Wilson sighed: "Disney has acquired Twentieth Century Fox, and their superhero films will be released one or two times a month, and Universal needs to reopen the low-to-mid route!"
Disney has now become the public enemy of all film companies in the United States.
Relying on the two major IPs of Marvel and Star Wars, one "Star Wars" is a year to make money, and Marvel movies, one after another, used to be a little convergent, and there were only three or four a year.
After the acquisition of Fox, the number of X-Men mutants and Marvel superheroes produced every year has reached more than a dozen!
They are ready to build a movie plan where X-Men and Marvel are linked together in parallel...
To put it bluntly, it's all the superheroes assembled, and then the money was circled...
As a result, every year there are more than a dozen superhero films alone, and then they are released every month!
It's simply not going to give other movies a way to live!
"You can buy Lionsgate. ”
“…”
You say mergers and acquisitions are mergers and acquisitions?
Do you give money?
"By the way, tonight's Oscar, I wish you all the best!"
"Hehe, thank you!"
……
The voting method of the Oscars belongs to the typical "single-wheel vote-first-served" voting system.
That is, whoever has the most votes will receive the prize!
The Oscars are a union award, more than 6,000 people have voting rights, and dozens of films are nominated every year, how can the major awards be determined?
It's unlikely that you will watch every single one!
Because many of those who have the right to vote are very busy, the so-called performance of the duties of the judges is just a formality, and in most cases, awards that have no interest in them choose to vote with their feet, or vote for each other to see which name is familiar and pleasing to the eye.
Think about it, Zhang Ziyi, Gu Changwei and Feng Xiaogang all have the right to vote, but they live in the mainland and have their own jobs, where did they get the time to fly to North America to watch every movie?
Therefore, many Oscar judges value PR and media publicity...
The more you are willing to spend money, the more you can gain favor, of course, discrimination is also pure, for example, Miss Turtle, anyway, she has no drama - a singer of pop songs, who wants to win the Oscar?
It's good to give you a nomination!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Ming walked on the red carpet with Cheng Xiao in his arms and beckoned to the fan area.
Then I walked through the red carpet at a normal walking speed, and I was thinking of entering the interview area to say a few words casually and just deal with it, but I was stopped by the host and asked him to talk a few more words...
"Jumanji", "La La Land", "The Wandering Earth", three movies in a row, Shen Ming completed the screen swipe, it is really red!
"It doesn't matter if I win the award or not, but I hope Damien and Emma will win, they deserve it!"
"There's not much time this year..."
"Sino-US trade? I don't know too much, I'm not a local..."
"I don't know much about gay, feminism, refugees, I've been busy filming lately, and I'll go back to make up the news..."
After chatting for several minutes, Shen Ming never got into the oil and salt, and played all kinds of tai chi, and the host had no choice but to let him go...
Lao Mei's gang is particularly annoying, especially Hollywood, where the white left gathers, always like to talk about politics, care about refugees, LGBT...
Have something to do with you?
Would you like refugees to come to your house?
Wouldn't it be nice to be concerned about racial discrimination in your own country?
The white left has simply insulted the reputation of the leftists, and the previous leftists smashed an old world and built a new one; the current white left, except to occupy the moral high ground and be generous to others, is of no use, what is the use of just beeping?
entered, the two sat in the seating area of "La La Land", Emma Stone has not arrived yet, too, she needs to pack up and set off, after all, her actress is basically stable!
"Damien!"
Shen ...... Hi, Cheng Xiao!"
"Why can you call out my girlfriend's name clearly?"
"Because Shen Ming is too awkward!"
