Generally speaking, authoritative awards need to choose their own new ideas, and try to ensure that the results can have unexpected effects, and the long-awaited hit films end up completely upset, which is often seen in major award ceremonies.

Subjectivity cannot be ruled out in the setting and adjudication of film awards, which is why some people always complain that "the box office and the trophy are inversely proportional".

Don't follow the crowd to show a unique and independent taste.

Despite this, there are some phenomenal films that are "said to be okay by the whole people", and the jury does not mind occasionally following the public opinion, after all, blindly engaging in unconventional will arouse the audience's rebellious psychology, and when the time comes, the loss of ratings will outweigh the losses, and generally at this time, some people will stand up and sing the praise, such as "Don't be stupid, the more we support the film, the less they will choose". As a result, he was slapped in the face by the jury.

"Obeying the will of the people" is sometimes also a means of expressing justice, which is equivalent to telling everyone that our awards will neither conform to the herd nor deliberately be maverick, but truly fair.

Forrest Gump clearly has this quality. Even the proponents of avant-garde culture have to admit that this is a typical American-style positive work that can make people cry and laugh.

The movie's explosive word-of-mouth has flown around the world like a dandelion in the online world, causing all kinds of reactions, and except for some people in the know, more and more people have begun to worry about Liu Jingting or wait to see him play.

As for those in the know, the reaction was even stronger, even if they judged the film in advance and roughly knew that it was a film that could have a certain impact, but when things really happened and there were more and more praises. The experience is completely different.

"He actually did it!"

Even if you have made this prediction in your heart beforehand, you will still have this kind of amazement afterwards.

"I wonder how those who question Yoo with Forrest Gump will react when they know the truth?"

Ross, the film's producer, chatted privately with Frank, a senior film manager at WB Company, who was in charge of approaching Yoo. At the mention of this question, Frank smiled and shook his head, not answering for a long time.

"I really want to know the details now, and I think I can write about them in my memoirs later. Rose looked at Robert expectantly.

With the honorable Robert, he finally opened the golden mouth: "Confident, decisive, clear, and composed." Courage, these words are as you like. ”

"Details, details. Ross hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, "Robert, you also make movies, you should know the charm of the narrative in the details." ”

"Which one are you referring to?"

"Every time. ”

Robert laughed. "There's really nothing to talk about. When he came to me with the script, he just said to me, 'Hey Mr. Robert, I have two Oscar-winning screens here, are you interested?' and I said yes. ”

Rose clapped his hands and said, "This is it!"

Americans especially like this kind of moment in history, when Steve Jobs asked Scully to say, "Do you want to be sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come and change the world with me?" A classic anecdote that became a celebrity in the business world.

"Don't worry, there are two more movies. ”

……

Not all of them are like Robert. Knowing all the content of Liu Jingting's arrangement this time, everyone is only waiting for a movie - "The Shawshank Redemption".

However, before the release of "Shawshank" on October 10, WB's other blockbuster movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" almost succeeded "Forrest Gump", which cost $580 million in North America, and was released simultaneously in North America and Greater China on October 3.

"This is a real movie about 'Chinese Kung Fu'!"

Liu Jingting could not be used for advertising, so he had to use the most mysterious "Chinese kung fu" from the ancient Orient as a gimmick in the eyes of the people of the world.

Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there was no real film in China that was released in the United States, and in fact, after this movie, there was none.

In order to open up and broaden the Chinese film market, Hollywood began to frequently add so-called "Chinese elements" to its films, and all the original "Chinese elements" except for "kung fu", nothing else seems to have really moved Hollywood.

The full release of "Crouching Tiger" in the United States benefited from the participation of WB on the one hand, and Li Qing'an, who made a signature in Hollywood, on the other hand.

As it turns out, the movie is also very competitive, and while American audiences who enter the theater with curiosity may not fully understand the subtlety and depth of the Chinese style shown in the movie, they are indeed attracted by the dazzling, picturesquely beautiful martial arts scenes.

Not to mention the American audience, for any Chinese audience who loves martial arts action movies, the martial arts design of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", especially the bamboo forest battle between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong, is also amazing.

In fact, the role of Li Mubai was originally tailor-made for the "Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li, and later Jet Li accompanied his wife to give birth, regretting that he missed it, so Chow Yun-fat was invited.

In any case, the Chinese-style elegant and gentle light work brings a completely novel movie-watching experience to American audiences who are accustomed to watching genetically mutated heroes, and they are surprised that a person can practice without relying on injections, mutations, or technology, and can practice with his own body.

Moreover, in addition to the refreshing "Chinese Kung Fu", the discussion of "original heart" in the movie has also attracted the attention of a large number of thoughtful American audiences.

Also taking the battle of the bamboo forest as an example, Yu Jiaolong is fierce and willful, Li Mubai is subtle and introverted, and deeply depressed, this competition is not a simple martial arts competition, but also a head-on collision of two people's two concepts.

Yu Jiaolong asked Li Mubai an old-school jianghu person "how to see the heart", in fact, this line is also the director's mouth to ask all Chinese through the mouth.

Ang Lee explores the theme of "sexual repression" in almost all of his films, and in the movie "The Wedding Banquet", he himself simply made a direct cameo appearance and personally said the sentence "What you see is the result of 5,000 years of sexual repression".

The relationship between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, and even between him and Yu Jiaolong, can also be condensed in the word "suppression", the confrontation between lust and reason, love and morality.

When the first batch of film reviews appeared, everyone really focused on the relationship between Li, Yu, and Yu, especially the American film critics, who directly designated the three of them as the three parties to the love triangle, and conducted an in-depth analysis of Li Mubai's inner world.

Yu Xiulian's love must not be out of morality, and to accept Yu Jiaolong as a disciple is the manifestation of subconscious possessiveness, and so on.

The more varied the arguments and the more in-depth the discussion, the more it can prove the tenacity of the film's bearing, the original work is a masterpiece, and the story of the movie is indeed solid and can withstand analysis.

In short, for American audiences, this is also a good movie for both the elegant and the vulgar, and it may also be another challenge for Liu Jingting.

On the 10th, "The Shawshank Redemption" was finally released, and in everyone's opinion, Liu Jingting was finally officially delivered. (To be continued......)
