Extra-four
The Oscars are not at all the same thing as several film festivals in Cannes, Venice and Berlin!
The Oscars belong to the union awards, and all the awards must be released before the year, and then voted on by the union owners.
It is the embodiment of the entire industrial system of Hollywood, and it is also a strong proof of the traditional election method in the United States, the United States belongs to the electoral system, the country is not a meritocracy in the traditional sense, Europe is different, all films participating in the three major film festivals must premiere at the film festival!
The results of the selection are often decided by internal discussion among several judges.
The tastes of filmmakers are not the same as those of the average audience.
Therefore, the award-winning films of European film festivals are often high and low...
In essence, the Oscars are American film festivals, not international film festivals, in nature, they are equivalent to the Golden Rooster Awards of the Celestial Empire, but the film industry of the American imperialists is too bullish, and the cows have no friends~ So the Oscars are more bullish than A-class film festivals...
However, our country rarely reports on the Oscar red carpet, why?
It's not because it's not that easy to rub!
Cannes can mix an invitation through sponsor relations, how can the Oscars mix?
Generally speaking, if you haven't been in Hollywood, it's very difficult to attend the Oscars!
Therefore, celebrities usually choose Cannes when they promote themselves on the red carpet.
Well, there are also those who forcibly touched porcelain, first announced on Weibo that they had got the admission ticket, and then said that the plane was delayed, or simply fainted...
This atmosphere was brought up by Brother Qing's daughter-in-law!
It is said that rubbing the red carpet is not a good thing in itself, but the hard work of the soul economy team has become a glory for the country...
Tsk, do those who really have the strength need to use this method?
It's rare to see Brother Xun, Zhang Niangniang, or Jun Ji-hyun's fans endorsing a certain brand and attending a certain red carpet to talk about things everywhere.
Why?
Because these things are news to them? rubbing a red carpet, participating in a fashion week, sending press releases, and sending news everywhere, don't you think it's very lo for a big-name actress?
I always feel that this is something that only third-tier young actors do!
Of course, the red carpet is a place where female stars compete for beauty, but the mentality of a really big-name female star is different from that of those who expect to become famous on the red carpet. It's not that their evening dresses are good-looking, they may not be as brilliant as Fan Ye, but what big-name female stars pursue is not brilliant, low-key and gorgeous, ordinary and small surprises, don't make mistakes, and don't dominate, that's enough...
After all, for a film festival, the red carpet is just an auxiliary, and the real focus is on the film itself!
The current atmosphere in the domestic entertainment industry is actually very bad, which has directly led to the accelerated development of the film industry and the music industry towards pure fast food and making quick money.
Of course, it is not that the responsibility for all this is on Brother Qing's daughter-in-law, but it is undeniable that she is a female star who relies on hype scandals, hype red carpet, hype endorsements and other means to get to the top of the position, and she does set a very bad example in the circle, which directly leads to the fact that the most popular young actors in the entertainment industry do not have any acting skills, but they are not ashamed of their lack of acting skills, and they can even be said to have no care, why?
Because the glorious deeds of our predecessors tell us that as long as we can hype, as long as we have a face, we can still be a line!
Let this situation develop, the stars have made enough money and left, but what is left for the audience is a circle without works like a garbage dump.
By the way, Yang Xiaohu seems to have been driven away by the staff once rubbing the carpet...
……
The official opening of the Oscars is on March 2, which means that there is still about a month left.
According to the regulations, at this time, all PR activities against the judges must be stopped – of course, this is the specified activity.
There are endless methods behind the scenes.
In order to elevate themselves, some studios do not hesitate to take some over-the-top moves, and the results are often controversial. For example, this year's "Drunken Country Folk" ran a full-page ad in the New York Times, touting itself as "the best movie of the year..."
"Drunken Country Folk" is the work of the Coen brothers.
The movie itself is certainly good, but since it is a Cohen sequence, the score is not too high.
Best of the year?
A little overconfident...
Not to mention "Cinema Paradiso", even if it is the original time and space, this movie has been criticized for the actors' acting skills...
The Coen brothers are one of the representatives of American independent films, filmmakers outside the Hollywood studio system, and these two brothers are very big productions
The most awesome thing is that these two brothers have been in the film for more than 30 years, and the biggest impression they bring to the audience is: as long as they hang their names, the movie will basically not smash the pot!
Of course, "Drunken Country Folk" is a movie that is not very Coen Brothers, in fact, after "No Country for Old Men", the brothers seem to have fallen into a bottleneck in creation, and it is difficult to amaze the audience again.
Xu Hui held the newspaper, although it was written "Drunken Country Folk", but he thought of another work - "Three Billboards"!
"Three Billboards", if it weren't for the director and screenwriter writing Martin MacDonald, many people might think that this is the work of the Coen brothers!
In other words, Martin Macdonald's films started really like the Coen brothers, and they all became famous at the Sundance Film Festival.
His scripts are super difficult every time, with both first-class screenwriting skills and serious literary qualities. He always cools you with black and absurd things first, and then slowly touches you with positive energy, so that you can see a trace of human warmth in the cruel life.
"Killers Have No Holiday", "Three Billboards", "Seven Neuroses"...
MacDonald's characters are more like "characters in a script" than archetypes in life – "black humor" doesn't need to be too close to life!
Unlike the more absurd and out-of-control Coen brothers, "Three Billboards" is always stable within a "controllable" plot development and emotional space. Although we knew from beginning to end that it was a fictional story, as we did when we watched the Coen brothers, MacDonald created an aesthetic vision completely different from the latter in the framework of a solid script, based on compassion for the characters, humorous interspersing and musical concatenation.
Of course, now is not a good time to shoot this film, wait two years.
Wait until Okuhei steps down, and then shoot!
Of course, the outline of the story can be remembered first: Mildred, Willoughby, Dixon three main characters...
Putting down the newspaper in his hand and taking out his mobile phone, Xu Hui began to type in the outline of the script...
Once he feels it, Xu Hui will enter the realm of selflessness, so much so that he completely forgets that he is still in the backstage lounge area of ABC TV.
Matt noticed Xu Hui's movements in a daze, and waited until Xu Hui stopped the movements of his hands before he spoke: "... Are you coming up with a new script?"
Xu Hui nodded: "Yes, I saw the advertisement for "Drunken Country Folk" just now, and then I thought of "No Country for Old Men", and then I thought of a story. ”
“… Is that the Coen brothers that type of work?"
"Reluctantly, I'll tell you the story. ”
Police Chief Willoughby can completely make Matt cute to play.
"What's the story?"
Al Pacino also came interested and walked over.
“… It's a new movie, about the story of 'Three Billboards'..."
Xu Hui briefly said the synopsis of the story, and then said: "I just thought of the script, and there is no complete concept yet..."
"The role of police chief, I want it!"
Matt was cute and said directly.
As a Hollywood genius who once wrote the screenplay of "Soul Catcher", Matt was cute and keenly aware that this story was definitely a good work...
"Is there a role for me?"
Al Pacino asked.
He asked, he didn't want to play a role like the male lead, in fact, he was nominated for an Oscar in his seventies, and the old man was enough to rewrite the ranking of the four major actors...
In other words, this year's competitors are still very powerful.
Matthew McConaughey and Little Plum are very competitive opponents, especially Little Plum, this guy is simply crazy, and at the beginning of the awards season, it should be said that his hopes are not very great - "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a commercial year...
But he worked very various shows to talk about, sell "The Wolf of Wall Street" and explain the controversy. This move made his call for winning the award skyrocket, and many media outlets near the Oscars, including "Entertainment Weekly", regarded him as the most powerful contender to challenge Alpacina for the best actor throne.
After all, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy was awarded to him!
“… I'm afraid it won't work, I'll have to find a black man to play the image of a wise man!"
The biggest controversy about "Cinema Paradiso" is that there are no black actors in the show, and black Americans are very dissatisfied, what's the matter, look down on us black people?
Damn, this is a story that takes place in Sicily, Italy in the fifties of the last century, and asks you where are the blacks?
People don't care, they only care about the fact that there are no black actors in "Cinema Paradiso"!
Fortunately, the public relations of the touchstone side was in place, so it didn't expand the matter.
Hollywood is politically correct, sometimes they don't want to do this, but there are too many blacks, and there are all kinds of problems, a little dissatisfied, drinking parties holding signs in protest...
The original "Saving Private Ryan" was also protested by some black people along the street because there were no black people...
Damn, where did the black legion come from on the front line of World War II?
