Chapter 421: Towards the Oscars
Except for a few people, no one has any concept of Liu Jingting's sentence "The Oscar is related to my lifelong event, and I am indeed bound to win", and the general opinion is that the so-called "lifelong event" is just a life goal that Liu Jingting set for himself.
Many celebrities like to give such examples when giving speeches, saying that if a person wants to get rid of procrastination and improve the efficiency of learning, he needs to fragment his long-term tasks and short-term tasks, list the things he has to do in a day, and check off one by one.
The problem is that many students who listened to the speech were ready to play on the spot, feeling that their souls had been baptized and their feelings had been sublimated, and once they left the scene, they immediately left behind the blood of three minutes ago, and the so-called "fragmentation" plan was also postponed again and again.
There may be proven scientific ways to treat procrastination, but for procrastination, implementing these methods is also trapped in a vicious cycle of "let's talk about it tomorrow".
At this time, while interpreting the internal relationship between Oscar and Liu Jingting's life puzzle, everyone analyzed the connection between this remark and the previous "response".
is still under the guidance of the behind-the-scenes military advisors, and the trend on the Internet gradually deviates to "these two sentences are naturally from Liu Jingting's mouth".
Since Liu Jingting came into contact with the entertainment industry, not to mention onlookers, netizens, even real readers have gradually accepted his identity as an "entertainment star".
Now that Liu Jingting is determined to set foot in the entertainment industry, whether he wants to or not. Some topics and hype that involve the interests of all parties are unavoidable.
"Liu Jingting is a master of hype, no matter how you defend him and argue for him. You have to admit that since he came into contact with the film and television industry, the topics on the Internet have not stopped, everyone think about it, throughout the ages, there has been an author who is as high-profile as him, as an author. Isn't the most essential work a quiet creation?
According to the grapevine, Liu Jingting claimed to be low-key on the surface, but actually raised a professional team of promoters. It is said that Liu Jingting gave them the task of having a topic about him in three months, whether positive or negative, at least once in half a year. ”
After the post came out. The back group of "so that's the case", "Look at him always pretending to be low-key." The truth is actually like this", "The author should write a book well, is he really going to take the artist route", "Liu Jingting, I misread you", "People's hearts are impetuous", "It's all for money"......
Then, other netizens struck while the iron was hot and announced the ultimate truth of the "Oscar remarks":
"Don't guess, the previous 'response' was indeed not said by Liu Jingting himself, but by his team. Let everyone have a good time, and then come out to refute the rumors. Taking Liu Jingting's hype as an example, two days after the 'response' was issued, Liu Jingting didn't have anything to say, and the things that could be explained in one sentence in the micro-blog had to be put in the latest issue of his magazine, isn't the purpose obvious?
Therefore, the response is actually the work of his captive team, and 'inevitable' is the follow-up, some people may want to ask "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still filming, "Harry Potter" has also been released, why did he create this topic at this point in time? I can answer this question to everyone, two purposes: first, he may have some new projects to launch recently, to make a warm-up; second, everyone should not forget jì, now that it is the end of the year, it is all kinds of inventory, At the moment of fierce confrontation of various hot topics, Liu Jingting chose this time to throw out this topic, which can make headlines at the end of the year, for a successful person like him, there is no shortage of money and no profit, he just needs to be famous. ”
What the Avengers want to do now is very simple, that is, to push Liu Jingting off the altar and portray him as a layman who "seeks fame and fortune" and "sells fame and reputation", but they are very skillful this time, strictly avoiding talking about his scandals, and not mentioning a word about the topics of the women around him.
"He doesn't pay much attention to his own topic, but he basically has zero tolerance for the people around him, especially the girls, so everyone is not allowed to touch this, he thinks of himself as high, ignores his own negative news, we boil the frog in warm water, peel him off layer by layer, or put a dirty mask. ”
Liu Jingting's public explosion caused great waves on the Internet, dozens of marketing Vs with more than one million fans and a reputation were wiped clean in a blink of an eye, and everyone also saw the tip of the iceberg of Liu Jingting's huge energy so intuitively, for a while, the ridicule and scandal about the "Women's Army", Yi Shui'an, Yang Lilu and even the previous Mihu gradually disappeared, and some other forums also dealt with these topics differently.
This is the famous network incident called "The Wrath of the Seventh Master" by netizens.
This time, every step of their layout cleverly avoided the anger of the Seventh Master, they did not do harm, but purely wanted to stink Liu Jingting.
The third wave of posts, and the most important of their campaign, was officially released on the first day of the new year:
"There is less than half a month left, the Oscars will announce this year's shortlisted films, if "Star Era" is really shortlisted for 12 items, and finally wins, Liu Jingting's hype will play a big deal, but the result is difficult to say, after all, Liu Jingting gambled on Nobel and finally won, this time, the "Oscar bet" is unpredictable, it is better for us to start a gamble and participate in the grand event.
That is to say, if Liu Jingting really gets involved in the Oscars within three years, I will be the landlord from now on...... Well, don't post anymore and be a diving party for the rest of your life?haha, this chip is nothing compared to Liu Jingting's big throwout of 'If you lose, you will quit the film and television industry with all your works'. ”
It is not difficult for netizens with a little experience to see that this post looks relaxed and natural, but in fact, it is a knife hidden in a smile and a hidden murderous intention, it is to sit down on one thing: "Liu Jingting will not win the Oscar within three years, and he will completely get out of the entertainment industry." ”
The following posts are also going all out、Baichuan to Haiti to guide in this direction。
"This kind of gambling is boring, okay, then Liu Jingting just needs to regret it." ”
"If you really don't accept any adaptations of works because you lose the Oscars. Wouldn't it be a pity, I feel that Liu Jingting has overplayed this time. ”
"I feel that in the past two years, Liu Jingting's anger has become heavier and heavier. I take myself more and more, and I am no longer as down-to-earth as before, and I feel a little floating in the clouds. ”
"Liu Jingting has been too smooth along the way, and he has not encountered any real setbacks, so now he is becoming more and more self-righteous and self-proclaimed king. Erasing so many IDs in a fit of rage is simply barbaric, this Oscar incident. Instead, I hope he will fail once. ”
And so on and so forth. Anyway, as long as Liu Jingting continues to keep the cold rice high, don't make any response. Sooner or later, this matter will be made a sure fact. At the worst time, you will not be able to get off the stage, and these are the work that follows.
……
On January 15, the Golden Globe Awards, known as the "Oscar weather vane", were held as scheduled, and "Star Era" won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Song and Best Soundtrack.
"Harry Potter" was not collected.
Two days later, the Oscar organizers announced the list of shortlisted films, and "Star Era" won twelve nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Visuals, Best Makeup, Best Soundtrack, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Picture, Best Director, and so on!
Correspondingly, "Harry Potter" did not receive any nominations.
There was little need for the Avengers to make a move. The media took the lead in recalling the old story: "If "Harry Potter" beat "Star Age" in the box office battle, it is in the battle for the Golden Globe and the Oscars. "Planet" has basically completed the complete killing of "Harry Potter", and only in terms of movies, there is still a huge gap between China's wonder boy Mr. Liu Jingting and the veteran film writer Mr. Blueprint.
This also means that the previous contest between the two is not really over here. ”
Liu Jingting's previous high-profile and anger certainly made many people start to be jealous and in awe of him, and no longer talk about his private life lightly, but the side effects are also obvious.
Soon after the Oscar nominations were announced, domestic critics and netizens began to fall into a large-scale deep reflection on the movie, and once again took out the commonplace issue of "box office theory" and whipped it again.
For many commentators, hoarding the object of criticism is a necessary rule of survival, and if there is a topic, no matter what else, first put out a few "far-sighted" and "see the essence through the phenomenon", and then talk about the facts around the argument, such as the Oscar nomination news.
"The box-office theory has completely exposed the abnormal development of our country's film market, and a large number of works made in this environment have irreversibly moved towards the bad path of kitsch and deliberately pleasing the audience, and the gap between us and Hollywood is not only in terms of technology and materials, but also in the gap of all values...... Only by completely abandoning the idea of making movies for the box office can we make real works of art and really close the distance between us and Hollywood. ”
This is the panacea argument, if you want to criticize a movie, regardless of the rest, first analyze the deformed market in our country, then talk about the values of filmmakers, and finally point out that if you want to play with Hollywood, you have to "change your thinking".
After the lofty theories are put in place, and then according to these guiding ideologies, the films that did not win the award are given one by one, such as "Harry Potter", and they are labeled with high hats such as "superficial" and "lack of in-depth excavation of human nature", and a film review is freshly released.
Therefore, Liu Jingting can write novels, but it is really not suitable for movies, after all, after the novels that can win the Nobel Prize are converted into movies, they may not be able to win the Oscar, "there is no connection between the two", "The Old Man and the Sea" has proved this.
Of course, this discussion of "Liu Jingting is not suitable for the Oscars" is not one-sided, many professional filmmakers and amateur movie fans also posted that "Harry Potter" is a work for children, as a commercial film, this movie can be described as an extremely successful film, and it is too impersonal and ignorant to use the Oscar to criticize Liu Jingting.
"It is certainly not advisable to only talk about the box office, but isn't the 'Oscar-only theory' or 'award-only theory' a cocoon and a prison?"
The voice of solidarity is not weak, but in this era of "consequentialism", it seems to lack confidence after all.
"Whether it's criticizing box office supremacy or ridiculing the award-only theory, in the final analysis, it's all about the sour grapes mentality. ”
……
In January, Liu Jingting moved forward in silence, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" progressed in an orderly manner, and the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" also began to shoot.
In February, the Oscars were held in a grand manner, and "Star Era" finally won five awards including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay Adaptation and other heavyweight awards.
When presenting the Best Screenplay Adaptation Award, the host deliberately took out Liu Jingting and teased him, and when he asked Blueprint "If you don't have Liu Jingting to witness this scene, will you feel a little lonely", the audience burst into laughter.
This also shows from another angle that Liu Jingting's name is not an unfamiliar word in Hollywood.
For the Oscar hosts, these ridicules are more to drive the cheerful atmosphere of the scene, without too much malice, in fact, many stars present cannot escape the host's poisonous tongue.
However, the filmmaker who took the stage to accept the award with Blueprint was not so friendly to Yoo Kyung-jeong, and after the film won five awards one after another, standing on the stage of the crowd, it was difficult for anyone to suppress the pride in their hearts.
Blueprints' acceptance speech generously mentioned "I also dedicate this award to Mr. Liu Jingting of China", but Mr. Dom, the producer who came to the stage together, began to bombard Liu Jingting for two minutes after announcing that "Planet 2" had entered the filming stage:
"You can never stand in my position and talk to me as if I couldn't go to Sweden, it's not a provocation, it's fate.
In fact, no one in your country has yet to stand on this podium, and it is a pity that despite your efforts, you really can't play this game.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Cinema!"
Dom's words won a round of applause from the audience, and Americans seem to be able to ridicule their president and regime at any time, but their sense of national pride and national pride is definitely among the top three in the world.
The producer's big mouth naturally has the element of promoting the movie, but the unscrupulous provocation in the words still angered a large number of netizens after the Chinese translation, and the Avengers will certainly not be stupid enough to side with Dom, so they clearly support Liu Jingting to take the battle, and in the process of support, there is indispensable "This is you causing trouble, you can't ignore it" incitement and reminder.
……
Due to the New Year's holiday, the celebration of the first anniversary of the launch of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was moved to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
And Liu Jingting also officially commented on Dom's remarks at the Oscars through Guò Ta Ge and Xingyue:
"First, no matter whether it will win the award or not, the trend of adaptation of the work will not change, no matter how you arrange it, I can't kidnap readers and audiences with any conditions, and you don't bother to build a high platform for me.
Second, the Oscars must be independent and fair, but it is not the only criterion for judging a good movie.
3. Of course I will, and I must win the Oscar, there is no doubt about this, and it is inconvenient to explain the situation, but please Mr. Dom must care, I want to stand on that stage, definitely not because of you!
Fourth, to fulfill one of your wishes, then within three years. ”
The last point, of course, is for the Avengers. (To be continued......)
