Chapter 136: Mainland Premiere

At 8 p.m. local time on January 19, 2014, less than a month before the 86th Academy Awards, as the most joyful and lively event before the Oscars, there will be a nomination dinner announced at the Regent Hotel tonight.

It was Ellen DeJanes who announced the nomination.

"Cinema Paradiso" won a total of five nominations for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture, and Best Editing!

In terms of nominations alone, "Gravity" and "American Hustle" emerged as the biggest winners, with 10 nominations each, followed by "12 Years a Slave" with 9 nominations.

"Cinema Paradiso" didn't stand out from the crowd.

But it is the only film since 1981's "Beacon of Red Flames" to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original/Adapted Screenplay, and one nomination in each of the four individual awards!

All of this indicates how much the judges attach importance to this film!

As for "American Hustle," it was the main film of this year from Weinstein Pictures, and Harvey Oscar Weinstein has been immersed in the awards season all his life, and no one in the whole of Hollywood knows the tastes of the judges better than him.

"The American Hustle", a typical David W. Works by O. Russell.

In recent years, the Oscars have favored independent films. O. Russell, naturally, received academic attention — all going to make superheroes, and needed a movie or two that didn't look so commercial.

As a result, starting from "The Fighter", "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", "American Hustle" and later "Joey's Struggle" have all received the attention of the Oscars.

Coupled with Harvey Weinstein's promotion, Harvey's nickname of 'Oscar Gold Medal Promoter' spread all over the world in those years!

A bunch of directors and actors who are dedicated to the Oscars have flattered him, and the respected Meryl Streep openly calls him a close friend...

Realistic version of the slap in the face!

17 years ago, they were still close friends, and then they became friends who didn't know each other...

In short, with Harvey's blessing, it is normal for "American Hustle" to be a big winner in an Oscar nomination!

……

"News 30 Minutes" has a great influence, after all, it is the main program of Yang Ma, and it maintains a rating of about 10% all year round.

Xu Hui showed his face publicly, and by the way, he helped "Paradise Cinema" to play a wave of advertisements.

So, on January 20th, when "Paradise Cinema" was released, Huiwen International Cinema in Beijing, at ten o'clock in the morning, the first screening time of "Paradise Cinema", the theater was already crowded with fans.

"Honey, how about we set eight rows?"

“… I can't choose, there is still a place in the front row, shall we see?"

“… If you want to book your tickets early, you have to say that it's too late, what now?"

"It's okay, let's do the first row, it's just close, and you can see it clearly!"

Zhou Liming glanced up, it was a pair of.

'Tsk, why do young people nowadays like to know men so much?'

Shaking his head, he can't understand a group of people born in 95!

Lao Mei has set off a vigorous LGBT movement, and the whole world is paying attention, and I feel that Lao Mei doesn't seem to care about the economy at all in recent years.

Just thinking about it, the radio finally reminded: "At 10:05, "Paradise Cinema" will be screened with five dividends, please check the tickets!"

Zhou Liming slowly got up from the chair and followed the large army into the cinema in an orderly manner.

There are many film critics in China, but there are few who are really stylish, and Zhou Liming is one of the only few film critics with style!

Many people know him because Lin Gengxin scolded him for 'not understanding anything, what qualifications do you have to criticize "Little Times"?'

Zhang Niangniang's only exclusive interview after pouring ink;

Jiang Wen gave the person who had the longest exclusive interview;

Just ask if you're afraid?

However, Lin Gou has the support of good friends, and he is not afraid of anyone...

Well, it's a long way off...

……

"Cinema Paradiso" didn't have a fanfare premiere, it was an introductory film...

In fact, Huiwen's investment has long been recovered!

The earnings from the stock side made a lot of shareholders smile...

As for propaganda?

Yang Ma specially gave two minutes, what else do you want?

The Golden Globe Award for Best Picture has its compelling!

In the screening hall, Zhou Liming looked around, and the attendance rate was about 90 percent, with only a few vacant seats.

I can't help but feel a little emotionally Xu Hui's strong appeal!

As the lights dimmed and the big screen came on, fans mostly fell silent.

"Paradise Cinema" was released in Cannes in May last year, Zhou Liming did not watch the movie for the first time, at first, he was optimistic about Xu Hui's transformation, literary films require directors to have high self-requirements, simply thinking about the audience, it is unlikely to make good literary films.

It's just that the slap in the face came too quickly, "Paradise Cinema" actually won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, and Xu Hui also brushed the Best Director...

Yes, public relations must be done well, but if the movie itself is rubbish, no matter how awesome public relations is, it will be useless!

In particular, the Golden Globe Awards attach great importance to audience feedback...

"Cinema Paradiso" has an IMDb score of 8.6 points, ranking first among all title movies this year...

The audience is not blind...

I'm more and more curious about what kind of movie this is!

So, early in the morning, he came to line up, thinking about a sneak peek...

At the beginning of the film, at the beginning of the film, the windows facing the sea flutter with white curtains.

This shot lasted almost two minutes...

“…”

This opening is very literary, not Xu Hui at all!

Zhou Liming was very satisfied.

Movies are weird, and when the critics are satisfied, the audience gets bored!

"What is this?"

“… Can you show us this thing in two minutes?"

"Shhh, wait a minute, you still don't know Xu Hui, maybe this curtain represents..."

Well, most fans who want to have a sneak peek still hope that Xu Hui can bring a hearty work...

It's a pity that these people are doomed to disappointment!

There are no exaggerated shots in the whole "Cinema Paradiso", and the pace is to death slow...

Fans began to stir up and lost their attention...

But a good movie is a good movie, as long as you watch it patiently, you will definitely feel the charm of the movie.

Zhou Liming was fascinated by it, he liked the clips of the audience watching the movie very much, with a smile, Zhou Li wrote in the notebook he carried: "... How much is the charm of the movie? People are always happy and sad with the plot of the movie. For example, when the villain in the film was arrested and entered the play, the audience applauded and celebrated!"

At this time, the plot reached Evert in order to let everyone have a movie to watch, ready to be screened in the open air, and then the film caught fire, and Evert was trapped in the fire, although he was saved by Duoduo, but he was blind.

Only Duoduo knew how to show movies in the whole town, so Duoduo succeeded Evert as a projectionist.

"Duoduo, to go to school, one day you have to do something else that is much more important than what you are doing now!"

Al Pacino, who was wearing sunglasses, reached out and touched the little actor, and when he opened his eyes again, the little actor had grown up.

Most of them have reached the youth stage.

“… This kind of trick..."

Zhou Liming has a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar...

Many old movies in the past have used this method to reveal the passage of time.

The next plot is that Duoduo meets Elena.

The whole "Cinema Paradiso" is actually the first half of Duoduo's life, in fact, it has a different name - "How I Became a Film Director" and can reflect the theme of this movie.

……

"Paradise Cinema" has a Douban score of 9.1 points, ranking 25th in the Douban TOP250, and it is generally believed that this is a classic movie!

The IMDb rating is 8.6 points, ranking 58th.

This ranking and rating are relatively close, Tornatore Time and Space Trilogy, "The Pianist of the Sea" The Eastern and Western evaluations are completely different.

Probably the values of the East and the West are different!

Easterners appreciate the subtle beauty more, while Westerners are more direct.

The most obvious example, Ivy, Japanese films usually occupy most of the time in foreplay, and the last five minutes let everyone see the real chapter, while European and American films are more direct, just do it!

There is no straight shortcut in life, and everyone has to take detours.

"Every day you stay here, you think it's the whole world, you don't seek it, you don't have it anymore, you have to leave for a while, and when you leave, when you come back in a few years, everything will change. You will be cut off from your attachments, you will no longer seek, you will no longer have. You have to leave for a while, go ahead, go back to your friends and family, and return to your homeland. But not now, you're blinder than me. No, Duoduo, this is not a movie dialogue, this is what I have in my heart. Life is different from movies, life... Much tougher. ”

"Get out of here, I'm too old to walk, but the world is yours, I don't want to hear you anymore, I want to hear others talk about you, don't come back, don't turn back, don't write to us, stay up when you're homesick, forget about us, if you fail and run back, don't come to see me, I won't let you see you, understand, Duoduo"

At the end of the movie, Duoduo sits in the screening room, and the screen plays the footage that Evert once edited, and Duoduo bursts into tears...

"All the love that a person can have with a movie is expressed by this movie. ”

It took a long time for Zhou Liming to come out of the mood of the movie and write down a sentence.

Then pay attention to the fans around you...
