When Lance led the crew of "Fury Road" to Africa and missed the entire awards season for the academy's public relations, industry insiders generally believe that this is a tactic of Lance, in the way of moral kidnapping, forcing people to have to stand on his side, cheering for "Fruit Hard Candy" at the same time, but also oppressing George Clooney, even if Lance is absent from the Golden Globe Awards and a series of other important award ceremonies, this is considered a strategic absence to retreat -

Just look at the reaction in the circle after the Golden Globe winners came out, George Clooney topped the Best Supporting Actor, which did not cause widespread controversy, and even many people thought that George's victory over Lance was a very interesting result, and it was really schadenfreude to see Lance fall behind.

Many people in the industry believe that when Lance realizes that his plan has been discovered, he will definitely seek a suitable time to return to Los Angeles, carry out college public relations, and strive to make a breakthrough in the Oscars, even Las Vegas has unbelievably opened a bet, thinking that Lance will inevitably return to Los Angeles within a week after the Oscar nomination list The odds are only one to two, and the odds that Lance will be absent from the Oscars are as high as one to thirteen, which seems to be sure that Lance's strategy has been seen through.

However, as time progressed, things were gradually derailed, and the faces of those industry insiders who swore were starting to get worse and worse, because the crew of "Fury Road" was still in full swing in Namibia, and Chaos Pictures was methodically carrying out public relations work, and there was no sign that Lance was about to return to Los Angeles.

Despite this, many people in the industry still firmly believe that "the time is ripe, and Lance is bound to appear at Los Angeles International Airport within a week!" This statement came after the second viral video came out, not only because Lance and Charlize appeared in the viral video in person, but also because the promotional effect of the video far exceeded expectations, industry insiders believe that at such a point in time, Lance returned to Los Angeles, it can almost be said that the time and place are favorable, and it is not impossible to make up for the disadvantages of the college's public relations.

But......

Soon, industry insiders were slapped in the face, and the slap was particularly loud.

Because, the crew of "Fury Road" is still filming in Namibia, and the publicity department of Chaos Pictures also emphasized that "Lance's priority is the creation of new works", and refused all forms of interview requests for such reasons, and industry insiders have gone to explore Cole Grede's tone, but even Cole said sincerely, "Lance doesn't even answer my phone now, and he refuses to disturb in any way while the crew is working." ”

So, isn't this a ploy? Is Lance really a new work first? Does Lance really have any ambitions for this year's awards season? Is "fruit hard candy" really not eating fireworks in the world?

Now it's embarrassing.

The college judges were all despised by Lance's "uncompromising means", even ignoring George's "plagiarism of black history", and began to lean in favor of George in the battle for Best Supporting Actor, but now they found out that they had made a mistake again, they had been blinded again, they had been on the wrong side again. Lance left Africa and gave up the college's public relations, which is determined that the academy refuses to affirm the talent of "fruit hard candy", that is, that the judges are bound to choose to stand on George's side, even if there is a "suspicion" of plagiarism, they still turn black and white upside down and point to the deer as horses, and now it seems that Lance's idea has been confirmed, and they seem to be really so.

This...... It's simply ......

Suddenly, a line from "Hard Fruit Candy" poured into the minds of countless Hollywood insiders, "Didn't Roman Polanski just win the Oscar?" ”

Indeed, Hollywood has always upheld that art has nothing to do with morality, nothing to do with crime, nothing to do with war, and they recognize Roman Polanski's artistic qualities, but they do not necessarily recognize Roman's crime of assaulting underage girls. But isn't art about plagiarism?

His cheeks were hot and painful, and he was embarrassed.

Time is ticking, there is still no news from Chaos Pictures and Cole Grad, the possibility of Lance's absence from the Oscars is gradually rising, it seems that the new director who has dominated the past three years is really disappointed in Hollywood, and still chooses to "absence" the awards season under the good situation of "fruit hard candy", which is not good news for Hollywood.

If Lance is just because he "dislikes the college's public relations", or "refuses to actively cooperate with the publicity", or other reasons, the academy will not give any care at all, "Since you want to be high and unwilling to compromise with society, then you can continue to be high, we will not lack a Lance, to be precise, we will not lack any director or actor or screenwriter." ”

In the history of the Oscars, there are countless directors or actors who are unwilling to cooperate with the college's public relations, the academy has never cared, and the little golden man has refused to favor such "outsiders", and the most famous in history is the director of "Citizen Kane" Orson-Welles.

Now, half a century later, this work has become a milestone in the course of changing the course of the film industry, firmly holding the best throne in film history in countless professional lists, but this work only won one Best Screenplay Golden Man at the Oscars. The reason is not complicated, when "Citizen Kane" came out, because the shooting technique was pioneering and innovative, too advanced, not accepted by the audience, and went offline early, but film critics praised this work, believing that the artistic value of this work is worthy of recognition, and the affirmation of nine nominations on the Oscars is the best proof.

However, Orson is very arrogant, even arrogant, even if it is only his directorial debut, he still believes that this work will last for a long time, he is only twenty-five years old, but he firmly believes that his work deserves more honors, more recognition, and is sure that he will win the Oscars. Such an attitude almost offended the whole of Hollywood, so much so that at the awards ceremony, even the mention of "citizen Kane" in the nominee candidate presentation would elicit applause from the audience.

In the end, "Citizen Kane" won only the best original screenplay, not because of Orsson, but because Herman-J-Mankiewicz, a respected screenwriter, was the co-writer of the screenplay.

Therefore, the college never takes the initiative to cater to those thorns, and since the thorns disdain the Oscars, then the college does not mind awarding the golden man to others - there are many unjust cases in the history of the Oscars.

But this time the situation is a little delicate, because Lance is not refusing the academy's public relations, but because of the "plagiarism" - when a creator is stripped of the fruits of his labor, the plagiarist is not only not punished, but has a strong network to achieve a brilliant career. Although this is the social reality, the cruel and cold reality, it is absolutely intolerable for artistic creation, especially the white judges who have always prided themselves on the moral high ground.

If Lance was really absent from the Oscars, then the academy was truly a joke.

What's more, the momentum of "Fruit Hard Candy" in this year's awards season is quite unstoppable, and Lance's absence can definitely be said to be a big trick in the world!

Major guilds and major film critics associations have successively affirmed Lance, this talented, young and uninhibited director is winning the title of "talent" with his own strength, the most shocking thing is that on the list of nominations from the Producers Guild of America announced in the first week of February, "Fruit Hard Candy" was successfully shortlisted and occupied a place, which was not done last year's "Killing with a Knife", which also means that the American Producers Guild believes that "Fruit Hard Candy" is qualified to compete for Best Picture!

In this way, it also means that "Hard Candy" has won the nomination above the five major unions of the Directors Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America, and the Editors Guild of America, which is really an incredible result, and in this year's awards season, only one work of "Brokeback Mountain" has achieved this result. In other words, "Fruit Hard Candy" has become the biggest hit of this year's awards season alongside "Brokeback Mountain", and it seems to be already a phenomenal work.

It is now widely believed that although the pattern of "Fruit Hard Candy" is limited, the worldview and outlook on life shown are definitely not to be underestimated, far more profound and far-reaching than the "Cup of Wine Life" that swept the awards season last year, and the artistic value of this work is not inferior to Reims's "Crime Trilogy". Of course, due to the small format and dark theme of the work, the work is destined to be contrary to the value orientation of the Oscar for Best Picture, but the nomination seat is undoubtedly the greatest reward for this work.

It is hard to imagine that "Hard Fruit Candy", a work with such a bold style, heavy theme and radical means, surpassed "Capote", "Walking with the Song", "Munich Tragedy" and other works, and successfully occupied the public eye during the awards season, while "Hard Fruit Candy" has never been directly involved in the public relations of the college, which adds a strange color to this situation.

Of course, if you take into account the knock-on effect of "good night, good luck", perhaps the shock will not be so turbulent.

The unstoppable momentum of "Fruit Hard Candy" began to rise all the way after the Golden Globe Awards ended, especially George Clooney's infinite scenery after winning the Golden Globe and Lance's disappearance after failing at the Golden Globe Awards for three consecutive years, such a stark contrast is even more impressive, coupled with the "Fury Road" publicity and the gradual rise of Lance's absence from the Oscars, all of which have become unpredictable unknowns in the awards season.

It seems that all signs are proven: Lance will definitely not be absent from this year's Oscars, not to mention, on the list of Oscar nominees announced not long ago, Chaos Pictures has fought a hearty turnaround. (To be continued.) )
