On March 22, the group of Good Dreams Company left Beijing and headed for Los Angeles, where the Oscars will be held three days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Major domestic media sent reporters to accompany them, wanting to get first-hand news.

Time.com and Penguin jointly launched the Oscar feature.

Industry experts, including film school professor Zheng Dongtian, were invited to interpret the Oscars in detail, so that domestic audiences could further understand this award.

For example, some netizens asked what to think of the Oscar complex in China.

Zheng Dongtian believes that all countries that release more American movies have an Oscar complex, which is not unique to China.

In other words, with the political, economic, military, and cultural superiority of the United States in the world, all things in the United States will receive more people's attention.

This is an inevitable trend.

Moreover, the Oscars are not only a tool for public opinion, but also create economic value.

More than a billion viewers around the world now watch the Oscars live on television.

At present, the highest TV broadcast cost is the World Cup, the second is the Olympic Games, and the third is the Oscars.

The Academy Academy's annual funding, including the cost of the awards ceremony, was earned back for one night's broadcast.

Of course, they have a lot of work to do every year, a lot of publicity, a series of screenings from the announcement of nominations to the awards, and American movies are being shown all over the world.

Another very important factor is the influence of big American stars, their status in the minds of the audience.

In this way, the Oscar became the best in the world and became a kind of symbol.

In fact, the Oscars are still a country, expanded to one language, just a film festival for English films, and foreign language films are a very small one.

In the past, foreign language films could not participate in individual competitions, but now they can, but there are few nominations.

This time, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", almost no other foreign language films have been nominated for a single item, so the Oscars do not represent the highest level in the world, or the final competition in the film industry.

But its influence and grade are two concepts, and the Oscars are incomparable to other film festivals in terms of impact.

Everyone wants their works to have an impact, and the places where the discs are sold in China are the Oscar classic series, and the places where the books are published are also the Oscar treasure trove.

This is an obligatory propaganda for the Americans.

Some netizens raised the question of whether a film festival like the Oscars can be held in China, which is not an official film festival, hosted by the film academy and operated in accordance with the rules of the Oscars.

Zheng Dongtian explained that the Academy of Cinema is also called the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

It is not a school, but a non-profit professional organization dedicated to the promotion of the film arts, an institution belonging to the film union.

There is no such large-scale film festival in China, simply put, there is no money, and the award ceremony alone will cost about 50 million US dollars.

At present, such an award mechanism cannot be formed in China.

For example, the domestic Golden Bull Award, although it also takes voting, but it does not have so many awards, so the audience can vote, and the audience is not professional and has no way to vote.

However, if the experts come to judge the award, there will be a lot of restrictions.

In addition, the influence of Chinese films in world cinema is not great, and the fact that the United States can achieve this degree has a lot to do with the influence of American films in the world.

Some netizens pointed out that it is not that the director is not good at domestic films, but that the environment and funds are not good.

Zheng Dongtian doesn't think so, he doesn't think it's good.

Someone once said that I could make "Titanic" with 200 million US dollars, which is not realistic, film is an industry, and the production of such a product requires huge technical support.

You can't attribute the technical support of industrial things to the talent of a director or an actor.

It's not a matter of more money and less money, but that there is no such industrial base in the country.

Some netizens also proposed that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can only be nominated for an Oscar if it caters to Western audiences, will you make a film to cater to Western audiences or film festivals?

Zheng Dongtian felt that according to his own conditions, the main target of his movies was still Chinese, and he would not say which movies were mainly made for foreigners.

Li Yu is actually not a Chinese director, he is an American director, most of his works are shot abroad, and they are foreign films, and he received film education in the United States.

None of this is formed in a day or two.

Maybe in the future, there will be some films in China, and it is not a bad thing to say that the main audience of these films is foreigners, or in the hands of a new generation of directors, whose careers are more open and have a better understanding of the needs of foreign audiences.

That is the situation that will only appear after Chinese films have a certain share and status in the world market.

Some netizens mentioned that Lin Zixuan was nominated for the best adapted screenplay, and there is no possibility of winning the award.

Zheng Dongtian bluntly said that it is unlikely that Lin Zixuan will win the award, and the script includes two types: original and adapted.

Adapting the script contains the wisdom and creative labor of the original author, but as an award for the film, it cannot all be given to the original author, so a separate adapted script is set up.

The nomination committee and voters of this award are all very professional drama writers, and the nomination should be compared with the original script and the film.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts novel and does not have an English version, which adds to the difficulty of the judges' judgment, and it is difficult for the judges to judge the effect of the adaptation.

They read the English version of the script, not the original novel, and probably can't understand the meaning of martial arts novels.

In this case, it is better to choose a script that they can understand and make judgments easily.

Therefore, the possibility of Lin Zixuan winning the award is very small.

There are a lot of topics to talk about the Oscars, and the media reports on them every year, and this year the coverage has increased greatly due to the nomination of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the development of the Internet.

Lin Zixuan came to Los Angeles and stayed in a hotel.

The next two days will be spent with promotional events and meetings with Hollywood filmmakers.

That night, Lin Zixuan and Li Yu chatted in the hotel, from when he came to the United States in 99 to invite Li Yu to direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it has been nearly two years now.

During this period, they had contradictions and disputes, and they also tacitly cooperated.

Talking about the past, the two were quite emotional, and there was a feeling that the song was over.

After the grand ceremony of the Oscars, Li Yu stayed in the mainstream Hollywood film circle, and Lin Zixuan returned to the mainland to continue his development, and the next cooperation was far away.

They looked at the brightly lit Los Angeles through the glass windows of their hotel rooms, and were silent for a moment.

On March 24, the American Film Independent Spirit Awards announced the list of winners, which is usually announced the day before the Oscars, and has a certain effect on the Oscars.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won Best Picture and Best Director, and Xu Jinglei won Best Supporting Actress.

This is the end of the prelude to the Oscars, and tomorrow the awards ceremony officially begins.
