Chapter Eighty-Five: Awards Season Arrives

Thirty seconds is not much, but it is enough to change a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thirty seconds, no matter how you look at it, is too short for the promotion of a movie.

Unfortunately, almost all major productions only have 30 seconds of advertising time at the Super Bowl, and "Interstellar" is no exception, and the $4 million spend is a lot of publicity for any movie!

"Cook, our ad had to be in the style of the Super Bowl."

In the cutting room, Shen Lin was discussing the style of the trailer with Cook Dick.

"The Super Bowl is crazy, and our movies have to go crazy too! Only then can the movie attract the audience, regardless of the narrative logic, regardless of the theme of the film, not to mention the family part of the movie, we have to show the wormholes and black holes in the movie, we have to show Mercury! ”

Shen Lin's purpose is very clear, in fact, from the beginning of his directing "Interstellar", he has abandoned the style of director Nolan's original version, and it has really become a commercial film.

Cook nodded, he still understood Shen Lin's thoughts very well, which was an important reason why he supported Shen Lin to direct this movie.

"I'll have people follow what you say right away!"

"Cook, at the current pace, when will we release it?"

Shen Lin looked at the busy editors around him, although he didn't have the final editing right, the final film was probably still going according to his train of thought.

"In three months at most, we will be able to complete the production of the film!"

Cook Dick finally smiled: "Shen Lin, it's all thanks to you, our preliminary preparations are too perfect, otherwise no one will be able to complete the post-production of a big production in six months!" ”

Shen Lin nodded and did not speak.

Damn, isn't the late six months a short time?

……

As the Oscars become the world's biggest awards ceremony and the most watched show in the global entertainment industry, a series of events that will affect them will be taken into account before the final awards are announced.

Therefore, awards such as the Film Critics Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the Three Guild Awards, and even the British Academy Film Awards in the United Kingdom are naturally like pearls strung together and become an important part of the awards season.

Starting with the Gotham Independent Film Awards at the end of November, the three-month-long film awards season begins.

Then, on December 6, the Washington Film Critics Association Awards were announced;

On December 7, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the British Independent Film Awards, the Boston Film Critics Circle Awards, and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards were announced;

On December 8th, the American Film Institute Awards were announced...

and a series of other film critics awards, the most well-known of which are undoubtedly the New York Film Critics Association Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and the Boston Film Critics Circle Awards.

"Dallas Buyers Club" won most of the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards, and at the same time, one-third of these Critics Awards were awarded to "Dallas Buyers Club", the other quarter was awarded to "American Hustle", and the rest was contracted by "Twelve Years a Slave", by the way, "Drunken Country Balk" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Nebraska" and "Blue Jasmine" played soy sauce throughout the whole process, "Blue Jasmine" was not bad, at least won most of the Best Actress.

New York film critics even dropped "The Wolf of Wall Street" from the shortlist for Best Picture.

In addition to a bunch of film critics awards, then there are the Golden Globe Awards, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the BAFTA Awards, and the three major guild awards.

The latter few are known as the Oscar weather vane, especially the three major guild awards.

There are 6,000 judges for the Oscars, and most of them are guild members, which means that these members have already judged the Oscars once before they are awarded!

The Directors Guild awards the best director, the Actors Guild selects the best actor, and the Producers Guild selects the best film.

Therefore, the Guild Award has the highest overlap rate with the Oscars.

Of course, Shen Lin is also a member of the Directors Guild, and by the way, he also helped Ying Bao get an identity certification for the Actors Guild.

Hollywood's film strength can be the best in the world, in addition to the strong film industry, because they respect the world's talent!

Not to mention the Directors Guild, first of all, you must have directed Hollywood movies to be eligible to join the Directors Guild!

Shen Lin certainly meets the criteria.

Just mention the Screen Actors Guild.

Since 2012, the Screen Actors Guild merged with the Federation of Television and Radio Artists of America, or SAG-AFTRA, and now has more than 200,000 registered actors, including almost all actors in the United States, and these actors have starred in as many as 160,000 films and television series.

It is not easy to join the Actors Guild, especially since Ying Bao has no North American filming experience, but fortunately, there is a second clause in the application regulations: 'If you are an extra, you must collect three valid union vouchers before you can join.' ’

Of course, Shen Lin has a guild ticket, Yingbao quickly completed the relevant procedures for joining the union, paid a membership fee of 3,000 US dollars, and then she became a member of the Old American Actors Guild!

By the way, you have to pay several thousand membership fees every year.

Ghana membership fees are too complicated to calculate, so I won't go into them here.

On December 15th, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award was announced, and "Dallas" also received most of the actor nominations, and the best picture also had the best makeup and hairstyling - the last award nomination shocked Shen Lin a little, because of investment restrictions, "Dallas Buyers Club" invested less than $10,000 in makeup and hairstyle!

In short, as of January 12, "Dallas Buyers Club", "12 Years a Slave", and "Gravity" led the entire awards season, of which "Dallas" won most of the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and 11 Best Pictures; "12 Years a Slave" won 21 Best Films, most of the Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay; "Gravity" won most of the technical awards, as well as the award for best director.

In addition, Shen Lin also won the Louisiana Film Critics' Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for "Dallas".

It's a pity that Louisiana's film critics have too little influence!

This is also the only directorial award he has won in the entire awards season!

With the Golden Globe Awards approaching, the Olympics have reached a critical moment!

In fact, it's clear to every Hollywood participant that the Golden Globes have nothing to do with the Oscars — the judges aren't just a bunch of people.

But who made the Golden Globe Awards bigger and bigger now, its attention and influence are second only to the Oscars!

I guess the 85 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Club at the beginning didn't expect that they could be so awesome!

Especially for the actors, the Golden Globe actor and actress have an obvious role in adding to the salary, so the public relations Golden Globe has also become a new topic for major studios.
