Time passed day by day, and the days in Hollywood, as usual, were going on normally.

Levy's films are still being promoted, but the promotion of his films can't affect other people's lives. After all, it's awards season, and it's a time when Hollywood's stars are all eager to steal the spotlight, and people are still paying more attention to those awards at this time.

During this time, Levy took his own people and made editing in his own company, and outside his company, Hollywood was bustling.

It's just that this time the award is really not interesting.

Although Chicago, which won the best picture, is also a good movie, as a musical and dance film, it somewhat uses the east wind of the Moulin Rouge, which was released some time ago. Compared to Moulin Rouge, this movie is a little rougher, and it is the best, but it is also a little controversial.

The awarding of this award is more of an affirmation of the song and dance film.

Compared with other films, the most troublesome part of this kind of film is their music and choreography - if a song and dance film wants to be successful, it needs a lot of music, dance, costumes and scenes, these personnel are professionals, without their support, the film would not be possible: the dance moves pursue beauty, but the dance moves are on the film lens, in addition to the aesthetics, there is also attention to the expression of body language and the use of space, this kind of film, Not an amateur can play well, and shooting is troublesome. Disney usually has a lot of choreographers because they know how hard these things are.

In the 90s, musical and dance films were at a low ebb, but over the years, Dancers in the Dark, Dancers on Ice, Moulin Rouge, Chicago and other films. Saved this type of movies again, these movies saved a type of film, which is also what many people are happy to see, this award is more like a support for this type of film.

It's just that the level of this movie in Chicago is a little poor after all, and when it comes to the best director, they can't get it. This year's award for Best Director was given to Roman. Polanski, his pianist, though he also had all kinds of problems, showed his skills to the fullest. Footage of the pianist from this film. is completely textbook-level lens use, and the level of this movie is also highly praised.

It's just, alas, Roman. Polanski himself could not have come to accept the award: he was still a wanted criminal in the United States, and he would be arrested if he landed on American soil.

These two awards, one is a little comforting, and the other winner can't come, which is inevitably a little disappointing. And the rest of the awards. is even more depressing: Best Actor went to the young Adrian. Brody, contrary to many people's expectations, gave the best actress to Nicole Brown, who did not win the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award. Kidman is even more unimaginable.

"It's the worst Oscar. In ten years, there has never been an Oscar, worse than this one. ”

The media commented directly on such results. The four most important awards. None of them can be satisfying. Best Picture is like a consolation prize, and Best Director is an absentee award, Best Actor and Actress. It's too unexpected, a young actor, and a heroine who hasn't won any outposts, so that this awards ceremony, no matter how you look at it, is a little lacking in enough charm.

In the past, the media would think that there were always some faces that they were used to seeing at the Oscars, which was really boring. Hanks, Aunt May, these people show up every year, making the Oscars feel like an annual party. However, this time, all these people did not come, and a new problem arose in the media: they did not come, and this time the Oscars were really boring. It is difficult for an actor of Brody's level to afford the title of star. When they win awards, it always feels a little undeserved.

Even if people say that Levy is very successful, he missed the award in the first year, missed out on Best Director in the second year, won a consolation award for Best Director in the third year, and only really succeeded in the fourth year. Why is it so easy for these young people to succeed now?

And the other thing is also something that people pay attention to.

After last year's Lord of the Rings, this year's Lord of the Rings 2 did not win another major award. For two consecutive years, two films won the box office championship for two years, but at the Oscars, they all went home, which also made people think that Peter was a big hit. Jackson was a little upset.

For the Lord of the Rings series of movies, people's reviews are still very good.

In all fairness, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, if you want to say that there is any depth of thought, it is difficult for a strong man: after all, this movie has changed from a novel a long time ago, and it is not enough to see it ideologically, so to speak, this is a fairy tale for adults, and the depth is almost none.

However, the picture of this movie is shocking and amazing enough, which is the biggest reason why this movie can attract so much attention. Although this movie did not have the same huge impact as the Titanic, its skillful use of technology also gave people a great shock.

This kind of shock is brought to people by computer technology. Although computer technology has been used in many movies before, those movies are at most novel rather than shocking. This step of the movie can be said to make people really realize the importance of computer technology, and from this point, it is of great significance.

In the eyes of many, this film deserves to be awarded, at least, it is much better than a movie like Chicago. However, Oscar still refuses to favor The Lord of the Rings, which also makes people resentful.

The judges of the academy, after all, are still more old-fashioned. For them, watching movies is more about connotation, shooting techniques, and character performance. Jackson's forte, his films are not won by profundity or shooting methods, which makes the Oscars not favor him.

But this also makes the media resentful, and this resentment also reminds people of another question: Will Levy's film be favored after it is filmed?

Although The Lord of the Rings is a magical epic, if you roughly divide it, these movies are all science fiction stories. This type of film has never been very popular, if the Lord of the Rings has not been able to gain favor. Why did Levy's film get good reviews?

Of course, Levy's film invested 100 million, definitely not for the Oscar evaluation, but for the box office. However, Levy has achieved good results at the Oscars in the past, and after he finishes filming this movie, will he be the same as the Lord of the Rings, or will he be more favored than the Lord of the Rings?

For a time, this time the Oscar results. As a result, people began to worry about Levy's films.

If it had been in previous years, people wouldn't have worried about Levy. Maybe people will gloat at him when they see him fail. However, this year's boring Oscars also made people react a little: instead of letting these people win the award, it is better to let Levy come back.

And this worried mood has risen further with the announcement of the movie schedule.

After the Oscars, Levy's film has been set for release. The film will be released on May 8.

This release date is quite interesting. Because just a week after the release of this movie, on May 15, it is the release time of The Matrix 2.

There is only a week between them, it should be said. It's also a way of avoiding each other. It's just that this retreat is a little too obvious. Only a week apart, two movies were released one after the other, when these two movies were released. I'm afraid it's hard for people not to compare the two movies.

And in this struggle, it is clearly the Matrix that has the upper hand - for no other reason. Just because this one is a sequel.

The Matrix movie, in the first part, has already shown full charm. Many sci-fi fans regard it as the best work of sci-fi movies, and it can be said to be a miracle both from a sci-fi perspective and from a cinematic perspective. Competing with the sequel to this movie is actually equivalent to competing with The Matrix 1, facing such a monster that it is very difficult to win.

Moreover, in addition to word-of-mouth, the competition for the box office is also a big problem. Warner, for its part, also attaches great importance to this movie, and just this year, they claimed to launch The Matrix 2 and The Matrix 3 in one go, so that the follow-up of this movie will completely capture the market.

It is extremely rare for a movie to release two sequels in one year. It can be said that this shows two things, first, Warner's desire to make money is really heavy, and second, they are really confident in this movie.

However, this is not good news for Levy. The Matrix is also science fiction, and it is also recognized as a classic among science fiction films. I have prepared a movie for a long time, and it is naturally not a good thing to collide with such a classic sci-fi film schedule. The same schedule, the same type, this is a battle for box office and word of mouth.

And the movie is about to be released, and the promotion of both films is also underway.

On the Matrix's side, the Wachowski brothers promised that after the second part of the movie was filmed, it would be cooler and more dazzling, and, in response to the first part of the movie, many fans complained that the heroine was sorry for the ticket, Warner also announced that in the second part, Italian actress Monica was invited. Bellucci starred - her looks are definitely worth the ticket price, and obviously, The Matrix 2 wanted to shoot even better.

In contrast, Levy, on his side, announced the second promotional video. This time, her promotional video has been finely cut. In this promotional film, the special effects and characters in the movie are no longer separated, they are closely linked.

The people on the stake, the spaceship ready to go, the huge membrane that spreads along the entire planet, as well as high-energy particle accelerators and nanomaterials, all of these things are also featured in the promotional video, which also makes the movie more eye-catching.

From March to May, it won't take long in total, which of the two movies will be better? Now, people are waiting to see. (To be continued......)
