Chapter 561: Oscar

The Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, the world's most famous commercial film festival, can single-handedly confront the existence of the three major film festivals.

It is also in the art of cinema that the Oscars represent technology and business, in opposition to the three major European film festivals.

But for the film itself, the industrialization of the Oscars and Hollywood is an advancement of the entire industry, and its significance is undoubted.

For film companies, an Oscar nomination can increase the sales of DVDs, and if they win, they can soar to fame and fortune, especially for some small-budget films, of which Harvey is the beneficiary of this type of film.

With the help of the Oscar platform and awards, he once had the unique vision to turn excellent movies such as "The English Patient" and "Vulgar" into good movies that have both fame and fortune, which not only fed back to the director, but also left classics.

The box office is not the only criterion for measuring a good movie, but it can indeed solve certain problems for some really good directors, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

But usually excellent movies have a characteristic, that is, they do not serve to please the audience, excellent movies pay more attention to the pursuit and expression of the director himself, and the expression of this kind of director is not the mainstream, so it is difficult to be accepted by the public.

There is only one way to make the public accept, that is, to win awards and be certified by professional institutions, this kind of indirect publicity to ensure the box office, and the Oscars are the biggest publicity stage.

For actors, directors or other practitioners, the Oscar award is one of the highest honors in the film industry, even those literary directors who disdain the Oscar are actually ambitious for this award, and for actors, the nomination of the Oscar is enough to guarantee the coffee position, and it is the best proof of acting strength, because the Oscar is not only the choice of the public, but also the authoritative certification.

For fans and critics, the Oscars are a carnival for movie fans, their favorite movies or actors have won awards, they will have a kind of resonance with honor, and film critics will finally have the opportunity to publish their own rich film knowledge and opinions in the newspaper, and at the same time there are various predictions, complaints, etc. to join in the fun.

For ordinary audiences, the Oscars are a selection guide, and the award-winning films and actors will pay special attention to them, and have time to see how the movies and acting are.

But the impact of the Oscars is not only these, its existence symbolizes the stability and development of global films, and also brings a large number of jobs and opportunities for people to realize their dreams.

It is also an existence that represents the strength of US imperialism.

For the film industry of all countries in the world, the Oscar is a beacon existence, if a country has a film festival of the level of the Oscar, covering multiple meanings such as culture, politics, economy, and society, it also proves that the country is leading in these fields.

The Kodak Theater was established in 2001, and the Kodak Company obtained the naming rights for nearly 74 million US dollars for 20 years.

The splendid building, with the 100-meter-long red carpet, has been surrounded by the media and fans since the morning, and since the afternoon, the handsome men and women on the red carpet have been wearing custom-made luxury clothes and walking on the red carpet to accept flashing lights and questions from the host.

The scene is much more brilliant than the Grammys.

The order of walking the red carpet is designed by the organizer, and the time is allotted, if you come early, you can only wait in the waiting room.

Wang Yao was originally going to pinch the time, but Harvey kept urging him for fear of traffic jams, causing them to arrive here nearly an hour early, and were invited by the staff to wait in the living room.

The resplendent living room is decorated like a banquet venue, in which a large number of fair-skinned and beautiful beauties, long legs, breast enlargement, perfect bodies outlined under custom-made dresses, and beautiful faces.

That's Harvey's reason.

Wang Yao felt very helpless when he watched Harvey writhe his fat body and pounce on the group of beauties like a hungry wolf.

In addition to some big directors and big stars like Wang Yao waiting in the waiting room, there are more second- and third-tier stars who are not well-known but have various ways to get admission tickets, and they also have the opportunity to walk the red carpet, but they will not be hyped by the media, but they can increase some exposure.

For them, it is more important to have a waiting area before the awards ceremony and a dinner after the ceremony, because this is the best time for them to meet some big stars and directors.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while. Wang Yao looked at Harvey, who was wolf into the flock, turned his head and smiled at Cate Blanchett beside him.

"Shall I sit down for a while, or shall we go together?" Cate Blanchett chuckled as she looked at Wang Yao, her delicate and flawless face with the unique teasing of a royal sister.

"Of course, I don't want him to tarnish my reputation. Wang Yao chuckled, helped Cate Blanchett lift the hem of her skirt, and walked towards the empty sofa not far away.

The Hanfu on Wang Yao's body is incompatible with the entire venue, not only with these gorgeously dressed stars, but also with this building, so it is very eye-catching.

Add to that that unique Asian face, and his recent exposure, and there is no one in the room who doesn't know him.

After all, he is the king of the box office this year, and the new director who has created a miracle.

Many actresses looked at Wang Yao's eyes and their eyes were glowing, but the slender women around him made them feel pressured.

Cate Blanchett can be said to be the top actress in Hollywood now, not only in terms of coffee position and qualifications, but also in terms of professionalism, which is daunting.

Although a "Elizabeth" the year before last made her miss the Oscar for actress, it established her status as the hottest actress in Hollywood.

With her current status, she is indeed the most suitable female companion for Wang Yao to attend the Oscars, although Wang Yao is an animation director.

"If you look back, you will find that many young girls look at you with hot eyes," Cate Blanchett smiled at Wang Yao, "and with your charm, at least you won't let Harvey's fat pig do evil." ”

"They're not looking at me, they're looking at you. Wang Yao smiled: "Who made me an animation director." ”

Cate Blanchett pursed her lips and chuckled, "Although I know you've heard this question many times, I still want to ask, why are you wearing this dress?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Yao looked down at the clothes on his body.

"It's outstanding. Cate Blanchett laughed, "Especially your Asian identity, and you still flaunt your culture so much, in this circle, it's too outstanding." ”

"Excellence isn't a derogatory term. Wang Yao smiled.

"Sure, but sometimes, it's a neutral word. Cate Blanchett said, "You should understand that whether it is Hollywood or the Oscars, it is the game of the American imperialists. ”

Wang Yao nodded.

"I'll admit that your presence has caused a huge sensation, but the best way to fit in with this community is not to be so outstanding. Cate Blanchett said softly, "Because you should also know that the American imperialists are arrogant, and they always find ways to fight against things that are too outstanding." ”

"Thank you for your advice. Wang Yao smiled and said disapprovingly, "But I never said that I wanted to fit in here." ”

Cate Blanchett was stunned.

"I'm a person, and I haven't been able to fit into your so-called circle since I was a child. Wang Yao chuckled and touched his chin, "It's not unconventional, it's just that I don't want to wronged myself." ”

Cate Blanchett raised her eyebrows, "A lot of talented people have a new one, but they will all compromise in the end, you are still very young." ”

"Thank you. Wang Yao smiled.

Cate Blanchett narrowed her eyes, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see you take a detour, although I don't know why I said such a thing to you who I just met." ”

"Maybe I'm harmless and protective. Wang Yao chuckled, "And your personality is a bit strong. ”

"I've suffered this too. Cate Blanchett held her forehead, "I know, when I see you, I think of me when I first came to Hollywood." ”

"But now, haven't you also managed to stand firm?" Wang Yao said with a smile.

"I'm just an actor. Cate Blanchett's tone was slightly helpless, "I don't have any threat to them, but you are different, you are dangerous, I have seen many young directors who are in danger, and finally disappeared here, and finally an oriental face appeared, I always looked forward to something in my heart?"

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, very surprised, "What are you expecting me to change?"

"For Hollywood, we're all outsiders. Cate Blanchett said, "But movies should belong to everyone. ”

"I understand what you mean. Wang Yao nodded and explained, "But it's still the first problem, I don't want to fit in here, a Chinese actor friend of mine said that the reason why he doesn't come to Hollywood, he thinks that Chinese movies are also excellent, and he doesn't need to go to Hollywood to prove anything." ”

Cate Blanchett smiled, "Actors from every country like to say that. ”

"But I believe what he said is true. Wang Yao smiled, "So I'm here, just doing what I have to do." ”

This sentence was said to him by Leslie Cheung, when Wang Yao was first preparing to start in Hollywood, Leslie Cheung had objections, but at that time, Wang Yao considered the box office factor, which was the fastest way to succeed in Hollywood, so that he could feed back the discourse movie.

Wang Yao never wanted to develop in Hollywood, he came here to prove to the world that the excellence of Chinese films and the greatness of Chinese civilization are going back after all, and he will go back to build a discourse film market comparable to Hollywood.
