Shen Lin recorded "Before Traveling" in the crew, and did not avoid the intention of others, and directly started the lecture on the spot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyway, he doesn't have a script, so he can talk about it wherever he thinks, just focus on a theme, and he can't talk about digressions or anything like that.

As the show progressed, many behind-the-scenes creators, including actors, came around, and even Zhao Baogang was interested, sitting aside and listening slowly.

Shen Lin didn't have the slightest stage fright, but was even more interested.

"There is also a big award that is the major guild awards, including the Acting Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards, and the Producers Guild of America Awards. ”

"It is estimated that some viewers may ask me why the awards season is concentrated in winter, the United States is called Award Season at this time every year, translated into Chinese is the agricultural season, and only in this time period, Americans watch the awards ceremony, in the United States, summer is generally on big movies, autumn on big American dramas." ”

"By the way, let me tell you that the Oscars have one of the most basic criteria, all participating films must be released before October of the previous year!"

"Why in recent decades, these awards led by Hollywood have become more and more sought after, I think it should belong to people's own psychological liberation. ”

"Films were born in Europe, Cannes, Berlin, and Venice belong to A-level film festivals, but European film awards are generally elite awards due to aristocratic traditions, and only a few people vote, and those films must be premiered there without letting go of them. ”

"On the contrary, North American film festivals are judged by a number of slings, and there are a lot of people, such as the Oscars, which have more than 6,000 judges to vote, and even the Golden Globes, which have the smallest number of people, have 90 people. ”

"Oscar is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also catering to the psychology of the sling to defeat the aristocracy. ”

"Guild awards, this thing is only available in the United States, the so-called guild awards, that is, professional awards, are selected by the most professional people, and those awards selected by five or seven people in Europe do not represent the whole staff! Therefore, the European film festivals have been very controversial in recent years, and they have been declining day by day. ”

"The Oscar is the most professional award, the best picture is voted by the whole guild on the right, the best director is voted by the directors guild, and the best costume is the costume guild. ”

"Many bosses are keen on public relations awards, and that is also because this thing is directly linked to the box office results, as we all know, most of the awards selected by the Oscars are literary films, and the box office of this thing is definitely not high, and the theaters are rarely willing to put it for a long time, only through the awards season, the nominated films can be re-screened in theaters, and most of the box office results of these films are received later. The actors, including the director, are worth very differently from those who have won awards and those who have not, especially young actors, and I estimate that this time our Jewish girl, Natalie Portman, will be paid several times!"

"The awards season we focus on is mainly focused on movies, in fact, the North American awards season should be music and film and television, yes you heard it, TV series are also a big category!"

"A digression here, American dramas have been much better than American movies in the past two years, and in the next issue, I will analyze the reasons for it and recommend a few of my favorite American dramas to watch. ”

"The reason I'm so sure 'The King's Speech' will win the award is based on its performance during the awards season. ”

"Throughout the awards season, "The King's Speech" was nominated 110 times and won 63 times, not including the Oscars, of which the Directors Guild gave Best Director to Tom Hopper, and "The Social Network", although it was also nominated 147 times, it completely lagged behind "The King's Speech" in the major guild awards, and as for the actor category, it was also based on the list of winners of the Actors Guild. ”

"Every nominated movie must abide by the unspoken rules, what unspoken rules, that is, Lao Tzu nominates you, you have to give Lao Tzu face, you have to spend your own money on the mainstream media, buy a full page of advertising, and publish who nominated you!"

"This is not a small amount of money, the advertising space of the mainstream media is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

"The Oscar trophy itself has no value, basically it has a market price of about $350, made of Zion alloy and coated in two layers of gold leaf. The cheapest Oscar trophy in history was during World War II, when the United States controlled strategic metals such as tin and copper, and could only replace them with plaster!"

"The organizers of the Oscars are very picky, not only do they not provide guest appearance fees, but they also don't even include food! During the full three or four hours of the awards ceremony, many people can be hungry with their chests and backs!"

"Also, although the Oscars are also non-profit professional awards, they make money in a good way, and this year's advertising expenses have swept up nearly 120 million US dollars!"

"In fact, looking at the 10 films nominated this year, you find a very strange phenomenon, the soundtrack has been greatly reduced! In the era of big-genre films, when Hollywood superstars gathered, the soundtrack accounted for 80% of the entire movie. For example, in the year "Titanic" was released, Sony surpassed Warner Music, which was ranked No. 1 at the time, and became the world's largest music production company because of Celine Dion's "Myheartwillgoon"!

"That's an industry, and movies must have a theme song!"

"But Hollywood movies have changed dramatically now, and I can't directly say that it is a step backwards, but as long as you watch it, we can clearly find that many movies, especially these 10 nominated films, have a soundtrack that does not even exceed 20% of the total movie duration!"

"I'm not going to make music anymore, but I've been a musician after all, and I'd like to talk a little bit more about this, but the time is limited, so we'll talk about it together next time. ”

"Another big change in the past two years is that film critics are a bit out of the crowd. ”

"We can look at the resume, except for the kind of big hits, like last year's Colin Feynman won the most leading actors, which is expected, but the other awards, the professional award and the film critics award almost do not overlap, which shows that the Oscar judges hate critics pointing fingers at them. ”

"The reason why I talk about this is to mention our PR god Harvey Weinstein, this guy obviously took advantage of this message before the others, so he said in major public places: 'Our judges don't need some self-righteous critics to point fingers', in a very simple sentence, it caters to the tastes of most of the judges!"

"Okay, the above is the content of today's "Departure" about the Hollywood awards season, we will see you next time, I will use big data to analyze the gap between China and the United States in terms of entertainment!"
