Chapter 173: "Avatar" Released (1/5)
The strategy for the award is probably the Film Critics Award plus the Golden Globe Award later.
The film critics award mainly depends on the judges' preferences - in fact, the quality of the films that can be nominated is definitely not bad, and whether they can win the award depends on the power of public relations!
According to Catherine's analysis, the Boston Film Critics Association Awards are the only Boston Film Critics Association Awards, because they like to contradict the Oscars the most...
In addition, there are also African American film critics associations and black film critics associations to fight for.
Quite simply, there are no black people in Avatar - the Smurfs don't conform to black supremacy!
"There's also the Critics' Choice Award, which could easily influence the Golden Globes!"
“… Doesn't the Golden Globe have nothing to do with the Oscars?"
Zhang Junsheng was puzzled...
The Golden Globe judges have nothing to do with the Oscars.
One is the Foreign Correspondents' Association, and the other is the professional award of the whole guild, which is completely unmatched...
Catherine explained: "But the ratings of the Golden Globe Awards have been very high in recent years, and their influence has gradually increased, and many stars are proud to receive Golden Globe nominations!"
The Golden Globes are much more entertaining than the Oscars.
Lao Mei's favorite thing is entertainment, no matter how professional you are at the Oscars, it's useless if the audience doesn't like it!
In the past three years, the ratings of the Golden Globe Awards have surpassed the Emmys, infinitely approaching the Oscars...
If there are ratings, there will be attention, celebrities are willing to go, a virtuous circle, and the ratings will be higher!
Catherine is an expert, Zhang Junsheng nodded: "... Okay, I'll be fully cooperative!"
……
In the next few days, Zhang Junsheng completely became a prop, followed Catherine, and visited several major cities in North America in half a month...
Every day is to fly and attend the award ceremony...
By the way, there are also various drinking parties...
No way, it's necessary to be familiar with faces.
Even if you are the richest man on the other side of the strait and want to conquer the judges through normal means, you have to do it!
It's a bit of a trance, no wonder the goddess Gong Li is reluctant to participate in this kind of awards season - Gong Li has publicly said that the Oscars are a PR game...
On January 13, local time, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, also known as the Critics' Choice Awards, were held at the Hollywood Patronus Theater at 6215 Sunset Boulevard.
The Critics' Choice Awards are a very young award, and this year is only 15 years old.
However, this award has some origins, it is a film critics organization co-founded by 199 TV stations and radio stations, and it is also the largest film critic organization in North America, so Hollywood stars are more buying, and the excitement of the annual awards ceremony is not inferior to the Golden Globe Awards.
After half a month of travel, "Vulgar" won the Boston Film Critics Award for Best Film and Best Director, and by the way, it also won the Best Film and Best Director Award from the Black Film Critics Association, as for the other film critics awards, as expected, they were awarded to "Avatar" or "Bomb Disposal Unit"...
It's already obvious that "Vulgar" is probably the life of the accompaniment!
Even if he is accompanied, Zhang Junsheng has to participate...
If someone names you are given, you have to go!
In the awards ceremony on the night of the Critics' Choice Awards, "Vulgar" lost to "Bomb Disposal Unit" and "Avatar" without suspense, but it still won three awards: Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Group Acting Performance...
Better than nothing...
Comparing the outpost awards she had won, Catherine said very seriously: "Zhang, we have a thirty percent chance!"
“… Walter?"
"There is a 30% chance of winning the best director!"
“…”
Zhang Junsheng would like to ask, how do you see it?
"Vulgar has created a new cinematic model..."
"The 3D of Avatar... Wait, I'll take a call!"
To be honest, if there is no "Avatar", Zhang Junsheng may compete...
After all, "Bomb Disposal Unit" is completely an assembly line operation, from the script to the actual broadcast, it is completely in line with the Hollywood narrative model, and the most important thing is that "Bomb Disposal Unit" has a huge loophole: American officers and soldiers who have served in Iraq criticize the film for being untrue!
The news has fermented!
If you grasp this point, no matter how politically correct "Bomb Disposal Unit" is, it will be difficult to win the best director!
Zhang Junsheng answered the phone, and Tang Ningyu was opposite, and his words were a little eager: "Junsheng, hurry up and return to China!"
“… What's wrong?"
"Avatar is released!"
“… How?"
"Breaking 100 million in two days!"
“…”
It's really a card god!
……
In November, the domestic audience was shocked by the visual effects of "2012" shaking the earth and the water flooding California, and exclaimed that this was the real blockbuster.
As soon as "Avatar" came out, the special effects were played to the extreme!
The sense of shock has been raised to a new level, and many viewers have a sense of being separated from the world when they come out of the cinema.
It's as if you've just finished a space journey back to Earth from the beautiful "Pandora"...
Were we really watching a "movie" just now?
There is no doubt that "Avatar" will once again become a revolution in the history of human cinema, a revolution that is so powerful that it can overturn everything!
Not only were ordinary audiences stunned by the extraordinary visual effects of "Avatar", but a group of mainland film peers were also shocked!
Lu Chuan said directly on Weibo: "This is a complete defeat that Chinese filmmakers want to witness collectively and be convinced collectively." This may not only be a war of films, but in essence a spiritual connection between American filmmakers and our national film industry to the Chinese audience; this is a sad thing, and it is a fact that there is nothing to be done. ”
"I watched "Avatar" with a few directors and producers in the middle of the night last night, and after the show, the atmosphere was weird, silent, and depressed, and almost no one talked about the movie, and they were all dumbfounded!" - Ning Caishen...
Even after Ma Xiaokang watched the movie, he was a little desperate: "It's terrible, something is wrong, our film technology, optimistic estimates, is 100 years behind this film!"
The media is the most shameless, bombarding and indiscriminate publicity, touted by celebrities from all walks of life, plus propaganda slogans such as "milestone" and "film revolution" overwhelmingly poured to the audience, and watching "Avatar" suddenly became a social trend.
As a moviegoer, if you haven't seen Avatar, you're sorry for the movie!
On Saturday on the 12th, "Avatar" broke out completely, with a single-day box office of an astonishing 53.24 million yuan, a single-day record of more than 10 million yuan higher than the peak of the single-day box office in the mainland created by "A Chinese Ghost Story 3";
On the 13th, the popularity of "Avatar" continued unabated, and once again won an amazing box office of 45 million.
"Avatar" directly swept away 144 million box office in the mainland in the first three days;
There is a convention in China that whenever a hit movie comes out abroad, whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, many people will take the opportunity to pull out Chinese movies for criticism...
"Breaking Chinese Movies"
"How many years have I dumped Chinese movies"...
If you think about it, even "Assassination" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can be blown into ten streets of Chinese films, not to mention "Avatar", a movie that really drove the technological revolution and caused a frenzy of movie-watching around the world.
With the popularity of "Avatar", the Internet is full of criticism of Chinese films, and audiences, including filmmakers, show pessimism and disappointment about Chinese films...
These are not the point, even with Yuehua's stock price plummeting...
