Chapter 794: Crisis of Trust (3/3)
"Lawrence, I wouldn't want to hear the name '2012' at the Oscars if I could. ”
"Well, 2 million...... Cockley ...... Originally, the suppression of "2012" was within our jury, and I believe that you will definitely see the results you want to see when the time comes. ”……
The next day, when a recording appeared on the news of major media, fans throughout the country were shocked.
Countless Hollywood studios were all stunned, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts was stunned like fools, and then showed a terrifying look.
This recording, once exposed by a few small media outlets, spread like a virus, quickly spread throughout the United States, and then was frantically reported by the media of other countries around the world.
Originally, the inside story of the movie "2012" not winning any awards at the Academy Awards was guessed by countless people.
There's definitely something greasy in this.
However, there will definitely be disputes about awards like this, and even if there are unspoken rules, it is expected, but this time the Oscar Organizing Committee has done a little too much, even if the news of Lawrence and Cokeley's private meeting on the eve of the Oscars live broadcast has been exposed before, it has at most caused some more trouble for the Oscar Organizing Committee.
Because there is no evidence.
As long as there is no evidence, no matter how big the problem is, it is not a problem, and when the time comes, let Lawrence come out and take all the responsibility and resign.
Let the media render the report from other angles, and I believe that the image of the Academy Awards will return to normal, this kind of thing is too normal in the entertainment industry.
There are too many classic movies in history that didn't win awards as expected.
It is difficult to transfer the award-winning film to "2012" because of the controversy of "2012", which is not possible at all.
Just when everyone thought that this incident would slowly fade over time and fall out of the public's sight, the appearance of a recording made all their ideas fall short and chaos at all.
Because this time it's hard factual evidence.
Especially in the recording, Lawrence even mentioned that 'this is what the jury wants to see, it was originally planned', this sentence appeared in the recording, which immediately made the famous Academy of Film Arts and Sciences stand on the cusp of the storm, and the credibility accumulated over the years has been fatally questioned.
Whether it is the local people of the United States or the people abroad, at this moment, they all have serious doubts and distrust of the Academy Awards, a world-renowned award with a history of nearly 100 years, and express deep doubts about the shady scenes within the Oscar jury.
For the huge bureaucracy, the people of the world are all on the same side, and no one will want to believe them.
Even in order to be able to find the scandals inherent in these bureaucratic organizations, many ordinary people have paid a lot of money.
It's a pity that there are too few successful people.
The same is true of the Academy Awards, there are many controversial awards in history, but this time it is different, the ironclad facts and evidence of the recording, like sharp arrows, nailed this year's Academy Awards to the pillar of shame.
Unbelievable, incredible, the corruption of money, the decay of power, and the freedom and equality of the United States have been severely slandered......
"New York Times", "米国日", "米国在线", "米国新闻", "Hollywood Voice"
Many influential media in the United States have expressed their indignant condemnation and concern about the heavy scandal exposed by the Academy Awards for two consecutive days, and all media experts have expressed their grief.
Hollywood's film culture has always been regarded as the most powerful cannonball for the export of values in the United States.
The Academy Awards are regarded as a symbol of Hollywood film culture, and this symbol is now suffering from the biggest crisis of trust in history, especially the slogan of 'fairness, justice, and openness' that they have always maintained, which has been completely destroyed in this crisis, and the former lofty image has completely collapsed.
Although the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscar jury also reacted in the shortest possible time, and all the senior members of the Academy and the jury resigned and were re-elected, even this still could not make up for the damage caused by this crisis of confidence to the Oscars.
The losses are too great.
A week later, the attention of the major news media slowly shifted from the Oscars, but all the Qiē of the Academy Awards were already unbearable.
As a result, many Mi media commented in their own news in a very complicated tone: I haven't seen the real apocalyptic disaster, but the movie "2012" is indeed a disaster movie from the inside out.
As soon as this news comment appeared in the media news of the United States, it quickly became the No. 1 topic on Twitter that day, and then spread all over the world, especially Huaxia, and it was also the No. 1 topic news on the day of the scarf.
Yang Ming appeared in front of everyone again.
But think about it, it is indeed the same, after the release of the movie "2012", the first thing to be hurt was Pan American Entertainment's "Defend the Earth", both word-of-mouth and box office results, which were defeated by "2012".
Although other films have not been affected as much as "Defend the Earth", their box office results have been affected to a certain extent.
Immediately afterwards, "2012" was treated unfairly by the jury and several news media at the Academy Awards, so that in the selection of awards, only two small awards with almost no weight were awarded, and all influential awards were not related to "2012".
Because of this, it directly kicked off the disaster of the crisis of confidence in the Academy Awards.
Disaster film, "2012" can be said to be well deserved.
Yang Ming, as the director of this film, is also the focus of this incident, and has also been repeatedly mentioned by countless media, which also brings another benefit.
The box office performance of "Shaolin Temple" not only did not decline because the focus of public opinion was all on the Oscars, but because Yang Ming and Oriental DreamWorks played a wronged role in this incident, it was also known to countless fans.
In addition, within two days after the premiere, many media and celebrities made highly recommended comments on this kung fu movie full of Chinese cultural characteristics, accumulating a certain amount of word-of-mouth, and after fermentation, the box office results continued to rise.
A week after its release, the box office performance of "Shaolin Temple" in the United States has exceeded 100 million yuan, reaching 110 million yuan, becoming the box office champion of this week.
Oriental DreamWorks, as well as the Chinese film genius, once again succeeded in the film market in the United States.
