469th Movie that does not participate in the awards season
The screening of "About Time" has ended.
The judges looked at each other and noticed that most of the judges still had happy expressions on their faces as if they had just watched an excellent movie.
Mirich Edkinson, the leader of the judging panel, looked at the set footage that was still playing on the big screen, and said with a smile: "I don't think it will meet the standard of R grade." ”
Carolyn Tim, who has reviewed Peng Yichen's movies three times in a row, nodded, looked at the diary in her hand very professionally, and said: "In the movie, there is no sexual content, no drug use screens, and there have been 9 sexually suggestive lines, but they are all relatively vague......
Thinking of those connotative jokes and jokes, even as a woman, Caroline Thiem couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with some appreciation: "But these lines are very clever and wonderful, and they don't feel violated!"
But Rosed Banbrook, who was sitting next to her, disagreed, shrugging his shoulders, "I don't think there's anything ingenious about this movie." ”
Caroline was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't you think this movie is very warm and beautiful? After watching it, I feel that my life is also full of sunshine." ”
Rossed Bainbrook shook his head in disagreement: "I don't think it's good. ”
He is obviously a fan of science fiction movies, and he couldn't help but criticize: "In this movie, the setting that the actor can travel through time and space is completely full of loopholes, and the level is too poor compared to "The Country Teacher", this movie is like a sweet and greasy big cake, although it looks beautiful, but it is greasy to eat." ”
Another female judge, Rometh Deick, disagreed.
She immediately retorted: "Please don't use your machismo aesthetic to judge a romantic light comedy movie, okay? The hero's superpowers are just a catalyst for his maturity, a kind of plot prop, you know?"
Another male judge, Mattemon Bihaus, agrees with her views.
When he watched the movie just now, he smiled a lot, and when he saw his father's death, his eyes were red.
He comfortably lifted Erlang's legs, leaned back in the chair naturally, and sighed: "This is a movie that I can reminisce about for a lifetime." Although the setting of traveling through time and space, it seems very ridiculous. But in the movie, the way the actor and his father use this special ability is really thought-provoking. It's an incredibly optimistic attitude towards life. I insist that the film should be seen by more people. So, my opinion, is the P-13 level. ”
The leader of the judging panel, Mirich Ederson, immediately reminded: "Mattmon, as a judge, you can't be emotional. There were sexually suggestive lines in this film, which did not meet the P-13 standards. ”
"Please, team leader. 13-year-olds now know more things than we did when we were 18. The sexually suggestive lines in this movie are just good-natured ridicule and will have no impact at all. Sindra Case, who was sitting on the very edge, couldn't help but retort.
Obviously, he is also one of the fans of this film.
At this time, however, another judge had a different opinion.
Yoderson Elder said seriously: "My opinion is the same as Rossed, this movie is very average, and there are many holes in the story. The content of the story is just the growth history of an ordinary boy, which is too mediocre. I still like Peng Yichen's "Beautiful Life". ”
He is also one of the judges who did not smile during the review process.
Judge Rometh Deike insisted: "I insist that this is a classic romance movie that has made me think about my life anew. I really don't understand if you people are like iron and stone, so you will find the so-called loopholes in the story of this movie. ”
Mattmon, the first male judge to stand up for this movie, nodded and praised: "Also, I don't know where Peng Yichen found such a group of actors, their acting skills are very good." The actor of that father, although he is Chinese, is full of the taste of a British gentleman. And the landlord and the actor's friend, both of whom are very entertaining performances, and I bet that all three of them will become big stars when this movie is released. ”
Caroline, a very professional female judge, nodded and said, "The performance of those three actors is indeed very good. Before watching this movie, I really didn't expect that a love sketch movie would be able to inspire and touch me so much. ”
Romes seems to be a fan of Peng Yichen, and she smiled: "I still think that Peng Yichen and his wife Yu Jing played the best, from acquaintance, love, love, to finally marriage, the sweet taste of the interaction between them can be tasted through the screen!"
Seeing that these judges almost turned the scene into a fan discussion for Peng Yichen, Rosed Banbrook, a fan of science fiction movies, shook his head disdainfully.
He thinks that this is a vulgar love movie, and compared with the epoch-making sci-fi film of "The Country Teacher", it is undoubtedly a huge failure for Peng Yichen.
So he couldn't help but interject: "Anyway, I don't think this movie will do too well at the box office?" I bet...... It didn't even make $100 million at the box office in North America. ”
Team leader Mirich Ederson quipped: "Although I don't agree with your prediction, the production cost of this movie is only 25 million US dollars, even if there is only 100 million box office in North America, but China will definitely have at least 100 million or so box office." The global box office of at least 200 million US dollars is enough for Chen Jing Film Company to make a lot of money. ”
Rossed apparently disagrees with the team leader's statement, and he continues: "For others, this may be considered a success." But for Peng, that's a failure! You know, before that, his films had grossed more than $200 million on average in North America. If it really doesn't end up exceeding $100 million at the North American box office, those media outlets will have something to do. ”
"I don't think 200 million is a problem at all. Ms. Romes, a staunch fan of Peng Yichen, looked at her colleagues with different opinions and said with a smile: "No matter what you guys think, for me personally, this is a classic love movie."
If it were graded on IMDB, I would give it a minimum of 9.0. ”
Miric, the team leader, clapped his hands, "Okay, this movie is good and bad, and it's up to the critics and the audience to decide." What we have to do now is to give it a rating so that the movie can be officially released. ”
After he finished speaking, everyone quickly gave their opinions.
……
The next day, the review committee announced the results of the review of "About Time".
The rating was unsurprisingly "P-17" due to "a small number of sexually suggestive lines." ”
Just when everything is ready for the release of "About Time".
In 2011, one of the biggest events in the Hollywood film industry is about to begin, and that is the annual Hollywood awards season.
Although the day of the Oscars is still relatively far away, the awards of Hollywood's major unions and film critics' associations have begun to be awarded one after another.
Of course, now the media and fans of the Star Flag Country are focusing on the opening award of the annual awards season - the "American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards".
The list of nominees for the 69th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, which has long been regarded as a precursor to the Oscars, will be announced in the early morning of December 14, 2011.
In the media's predictions, this year's Golden Globe Awards are extremely competitive, with a lot of popular movies and candidates.
Among the popular candidates, although they are still mainly from the Star Flag Country Film Academy, because of Peng Yichen, a cross-river raptor, joining the competition, the situation of the Golden Globe Awards has become a little chaotic and interesting.
Of course, the biggest hit at the moment is not Peng Yichen's "Country Teacher".
Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" is the biggest favorite of this year's Golden Globes, this film, as the opening film of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.
Upon its release in France, it received rave reviews, and almost all film critics in Europe and the United States praised the film as a wonderful love letter to Paris.
There is also "The Descendants" directed by Alexander Payne and co-starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, and Beau Bridges, which is also the favorite of this year's Golden Globe Awards.
Although the film will not be released until November 18, the film has shown its unique charm in the early film festival and test screening.
Therefore, at the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and other awards in the drama category, many film critics and media agreed that "this film will definitely be the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards".
Of course, in addition, the biographical film "Hugo Cabritt", as well as "The Iron Lady" starring Meryl Streep, etc., are all popular films that won the Golden Globes this year.
Of course, the most popular among fans is "The Country Teacher", which is recognized as "the best science fiction movie in the past decade, an epoch-making movie".
A few months ago, many critics and media outlets believed that the film would sweep all awards, but others insisted that the sci-fi label, Peng's age, and the film's Chinese background could be the biggest obstacles to winning the award.
In the list of Golden Globe Award nominees predicted by more than 75% of the media, the best film, best director, and best actor in the drama category all have seats in this epoch-making science fiction movie.
But considering the Hollywood school behind the Golden Globes and the Association of Foreign Media People, only 33% of the media believe that "The Country Teacher" can win the crown for best picture, with 15% for best director and 15% for best actor.
It's fair to say that almost everyone thinks that the film will be nominated, but at the same time, almost everyone does not think that the film will win the final award.
The New York Times was the most explicit of the media outlets that supported Peng Yichen for best director, saying in an opinion piece:
"The Golden Globes in recent years are consciously moving away from the influence of the Oscars and hoping to forge a new path of their own.
What type of film does the Oscars resist the most? sci-fi, young people, box office explosion, too commercial, these seem to be the labels of "The Country Teacher".
Therefore, the Golden Globes are willing to choose this Oscar-competing film as the biggest winner this year. ”
However, the other 67% of the media who think that "The Country Teacher" will not win the award are also very reasonable:
"It's not that 'The Country Teacher' isn't great enough, it's that its achievements at the box office are too dazzling, and it's hard for academic judges to give the film a fair evaluation. ”
The only one who is a staunch supporter of "The Country Teacher" is the most popular film critic in the United States, Roger Albert.
He ridiculed the media who were not optimistic about "The Country Teacher":
"The Golden Globes and Oscars are all academics, which is good. But those who say that "The Country Teacher" can't even get a nomination forget that this is the Star Flag Country and this is Hollywood.
Ratings and influence represent the viability of an award.
Therefore, Peng Yichen, who is now the most eye-catching, will inevitably appear at the awards ceremony, unless the people in the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars organizing committees are all crazy.
In my opinion, among the nominations for Best Picture in the Drama category of this year's Golden Globe Awards, about 3 nominations will go to pure art films, 1 will go to drama films, and the last one will definitely go to "The Country Teacher".
Otherwise, who will support the ratings of the Golden Globes?
As for the nomination for Best Director, do you still need to ask?
If Peng Yichen hadn't appeared, even I, an old man, wouldn't have watched the broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards, let alone those young people. ”
