The disturbing Oscars are over, and the media will hype it up for a while.

Every year, when the Oscars are awarded, the California government hosts an official lavish dinner worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for the winners and nominees, which is not televised, but publications like Vanity Fair often take classic photos of the stars that will go down in history.

For Chinese movie audiences, the most surprising thing about this year's Oscars is naturally Chen Tiandu's first Oscar statuette. When he said "Happy Spring Festival and all the best", I don't know how many people were excited.

Due to the fact that "The Sixth Sense" was still in the release stage in China during the Oscars, the news that Chen Tiandu won the Oscar for the first time spread, and it actually made the originally tepid box office a small explosion, which surprised the distributor and took advantage of the situation to promote it, and finally the box office rose by almost half.

I have to sigh at Oscar's ability to attract money.

And the most surprising thing is the success or failure of the "big soldiers".

Since the "GIs" landed in China half a year ago, they have touched the hearts of countless Chinese people with their realistic reproduction of the war environment and sincere humanistic care. Therefore, compared with the strangeness of the plot and actors of "Shakespeare's Love History", emotionally, many Chinese fans still really want to vote for "Big Soldier". Unfortunately, Oscar favors "Shakespeare", which is difficult for many people to understand, but in fact, when you think about it, it is reasonable that "Shakespeare" can defeat "GI".

The entertainment pages of many media and newspapers have commented on Oscar.

First of all, and the "GI" is so miserable and heavy that it makes people feel uncomfortable to watch. It seems that I want to live an easier and happier life, and the whole world is hot and cold. Secondly, judging from Spielberg's own creative career, "The Soldier" is obviously not his best work. Although this film surpasses its predecessors in the reproduction of the cruelty of war, it only stays at the level of real shock, and there are not many things to think about and reminisce after watching it, and from this point of view, its impact is not as good as S's previous work "Schindler's List". Since Spielberg himself could not surpass himself, there was no reason for the Oscar to award the Grand Prize to this "secondary" work. ”

Third, malicious media hype often helps. has predicted that it will win the Oscars nine times out of ten, and as a result, the Oscar judges, who have always been picky, have a "rebellious mentality", which has been a lesson from the past. It seems that a calm and objective approach to a film is a good way to promote.

……

It doesn't matter whether it's as the media speculates or not.

The Oscars have ended, and after watching a three-hour gorgeous show, what is left for Chinese movie audiences.

The best foreign language film, the Italian film "Beauty", reflects the life of an ordinary family in a concentration camp during World War II; Although "Saving" uses a wide range of war scenes, without the theme of "caring for people", the film would not have a better outcome than ordinary war films.

Although the Oscars follow the rules of Western filmmakers, the selected films are usually favored by the global market.

"Love" had recognised $25.9 million at the domestic box office by the end of last year, while "Beauty" had nearly $100 million at the global box office, and "Salvation" was among the top box office even in China.

Thinking of some of our domestic films, although some have won awards, the audience doesn't like to watch them.

Many screenwriters and directors pay attention to emperors, generals, talented and beautiful women, and are keen on palace coups. Regard the distance from the times as a classic, and regard the nonsense as an innovation. Some people even sent films that scandalized the Chinese themselves out to participate in the exhibition in order to win the favor of Western judges who were biased.

For Chinese films, the Oscar is not the only goal, and the works selected by it are not the only models to follow. However, this is the most authoritative film festival in the world today, which can accumulate experience and convey information for Chinese filmmakers.

The three films that won the main awards this year have become three striking features of their focus on the theme of life, as well as their low-cost production and use of modern technology.

When night fell, in the balcony of the hotel room with bright lights on the street, Chen Tiandu sat on a rattan chair with a slight frown, fiddling with the artifact mobile phone in his hand, but his mind was obviously not here, just turning mechanically.

It has been more than 4 months since the start of filming for "The Matrix", during which time the crew has shuttled between New York, Los Angeles and China, advancing the filming of the location every day.

Since the Oscars, Spielberg seems to be busy, running to the crew every day.

Chen Tiandu has indeed learned a lot by his side, as long as he is free, he will chat with Spielberg about some movie topics, and the big director will also answer all questions.

Maybe it's because he is single-minded and thinks too much, Chen Tiandu always feels that he is not committed enough when acting. If your acting skills are not good enough, then simply give up acting and concentrate on being a director. But compared to the director, he cares more about his participation in that role to perform, as if experiencing a second life, which is wonderful enough.

"That's the case, I always feel that it is very difficult for me to enter the play, and the love is not high enough."

Seeing that the scene was about to be completed, the whole crew seemed more relaxed, and during a break, Chen Tiandu asked the question in his heart, saying: "For example, I want to play a set of scenes, this person is a police undercover agent who is on a confidential mission, but this task is too long." Three years and three years, three years later, he felt that he was no different from a criminal, but he had to stick to the justice in his heart. I can feel that persistence, but I always feel that something is missing, and I always can't achieve the perfect state I want in my heart, how can I express it? ”

This question has been on his mind for a long time, because he recently downloaded two movies, both of which tell the same story, but have different expressions, and the styles are naturally completely different.

That's right, it's "Infernal Affairs".

One is the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", and the other is Jack Nicholson's version of "Infernal Affairs".

In his heart, he prefers the original Hong Kong version, because it is more in line with the introverted character of the Oriental. And Jack Nicholson is a complete robber, and many things are completely copied, which is despicable. But this old guy, as a big director in Hollywood, is still worth appreciating the expression of many shots and stories in the American version.

Chen Tiandu has been fancy to this drama for a long time, because the movie is not big, and he finished two versions of the more than 400M text in three months, but he is a little unpredictable...... Well, a lot of questions.

Spielberg thought for a moment and said, "The question you mentioned is actually not a problem, the little thing you feel is missing in your heart, but it may not have anything to do with acting." ”

"Nothing to do with acting?" Chen Tian was surprised.

"Yes." Spielberg nodded and said, "You must know that there are not only actors in a shot, sometimes a prop plays a much stronger role than a hard performance." For example, in the last battle of the subway in "The Matrix", you used a fluttering old newspaper to enhance the atmosphere during the confrontation. What did you think at the time, and was it about acting? ”

Chen Tiandu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It should be like the feathers in "Forrest Gump". ”

Spielberg smiled and said: "Zoom in to the whole movie, the performance is only a part of it, the editing of the shots, the soundtrack, these all make the performance valuable, we are not the silent film era now, you try to watch the movie with the sound off, you won't feel so much." ”

"If you want to be an actor, it's enough to experience the character and get into it, and there are a lot of schools of acting studies right now. But as a director, you have to juggle your own performance while also taking control of everything else. For example, we communicate with the cameraman, communicate with the editor, and take a close-up shot of the front, he wins the Oscar; In a close-up shot from the side, he only takes golden sour plums. ”

Spielberg said seriously: "Why does a movie let the director call the shots? Because the director has the whole thing about the film. I don't mean to say that acting isn't important, of course it's important, but you don't want to have the best cinematic effect on set, that's impossible. The little thing you feel is missing, it should be outside the field. ”

"Side accentuation, atmosphere rendering. If you can understand the meaning of this sentence, you won't have a problem. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded, as if he understood a little.

He likes the character of Chen Yongren very much, because this name is very similar to the name of his father and second uncle. He wanted to play it himself, but he was worried that he would not be able to express the role perfectly and not be able to achieve superb acting skills like Tony Leung, so he hesitated for a long time.

The movie does not end with the actor acting, the design of the picture, the language of the shot, and the editing in the later stage are all the "performances" of the director, and the director controls the whole of the movie.

He is taking a self-directed and self-acting path, which means that he is creating a zào story throughout the whole process from control to performance, which should be a movie that is more in line with his temperament, a "Infernal Affairs" that is different from the two originals!

Spielberg keenly sensed what story was in it and asked, "Is there a new story recently, the next movie?" ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Maybe, it's just an immature idea." I just want to see The Matrix come out right now. ”

Spielberg smiled and didn't say anything more.
