The arrival of the awards season is in people's discussions, but unlike many excellent film crazes in previous years, this year's craze has obviously passed in the summer, and this winter, the film market is unexpectedly cold.

Compared to previous years, this year's awards season clearly lacks enough blockbusters to back things up. Although biographical movies far surpass other movies in terms of seriousness and authenticity, they are much worse than other movies in terms of popularity. Over the course of a year, these films have flooded the awards season, which naturally has greatly reduced people's attention.

"Hollywood is really not as good as it was in the 90s."

Even the media have issued this kind of admiration. Compared with the glory days of Hollywood in the years after 94, the current Hollywood art film scene is really a bit sluggish.

And just like the downturn in Hollywood at this time, Levy's films seem to be facing a downturn at this time.

Similar to what Alexander thought, this time the Oscar, Levy's film "Untouchable" also received multiple nominations. In the best film, best supporting actor, best soundtrack, best adapted screenplay, best art direction, the film was nominated.

At a time when Levy was serious about soundtracks and art direction, these areas of progress were evident: after all, Levy had a fairly strong foundation in the company, and if he was willing to put in the effort, these areas could be improved.

The only difference from Alexander's thoughts, although Levy was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and the Directors Guild Awards this time, he still did not get the Oscar nomination for Best Director. Obviously, unlike the Golden Globe Awards and the Directors Guild Awards, which don't care much about repeatedly awarding awards to a director, the Oscars are still relatively strict in this regard. Although Levy's film is very good, it is no one else who he has to beat. It's himself in the past. Without much progress, Oscar still doesn't recognize him.

And, not only that, but this time it seems that Oscar is exceptionally strict with him. In the past, Levy's films have always been able to get some nominations for cinematography and editing, but this time, it didn't get much to gain.

If Levy's films aren't the best in this regard, it's possible: after all, no one can guarantee that their films will always be the best in the world in terms of technology every year. But there is not even a nomination, such an approach. Obviously, there is some deliberate suppression.

Oscar sometimes, always have to play some balance. At the beginning, they awarded the 30-year-old Levy the Best Director award for two consecutive years, and quickly made him the first young director in Hollywood, and now, they also need to let this big director lose to show his success for the Oscars.

Such a result is obviously a big failure for Levy. And after deliberately suppressing Levy, it seems to mean that this time the direction of the Oscars is self-evident.

And the final award of the Oscars was announced. And not unexpectedly: Best Actor went to Jamie. Fox won it, Best Actress went to Swank, and Best Director and Best Picture went to Eastwood and his million-dollar baby.

This ending is not very unexpected. After all, the million-dollar baby movie is more rigorous than the aviator in terms of narrative, and Levy's untouchability is due to the fact that Levy has already won awards in a row and is unlikely to win awards. Compared to them. Eastwood has been in the circle for many years, and the accumulated connections and fame are good. It's hard for others to compare, so no one can say anything when he wins the award.

The one who was more disappointed with this result was the crew of the aviator. Xiao Lizi could still be said to have lived a leisurely life a few years ago, but in the past few years, he has really put a lot of energy into acting. It's a pity that although he has the heart to hone his acting skills, his acting skills are a little immature, and he lacks enough accumulation, although he was nominated, he didn't get the award.

In contrast, Blanchett was very lucky to get the best supporting actress by relying on the aviator, which is also a gain. In addition, there are only a few technical awards, which makes the aviators who were highly regarded before the Oscars also extremely dissatisfied.

However, looking at Levy's crew, they are satisfied. Compared to them, the untouchable gains seem to be the smallest. The film won Best Score and Best Supporting Actor awards. After being snubbed for many years, Bridges finally raised his eyebrows, and Coase lost to the aviator for best art direction, lost to the best adapted screenplay, and did not win the award for the best film, which can be said to be a mess.

Compared to Levy, the aviator has at least won a bunch of technical awards, which is also good.

Although this year's Oscar competition is not fierce, the identity of the winner and the loser is enough to cause a lot of controversy.

After the Oscars, people were not only staring at Xiao Lizi to see if he wanted to shoot any new movies, but on the other hand, they were also staring at Levy to know what his next plan was.

This time to hit the Oscars, Levy spent a lot of effort, but the harvest is indeed the least of the several Oscars, such a result, will make him work harder, or will he be dissatisfied with the Oscars and stop working hard?

Soon, too, people seemed to find the answer.

"I'm thinking about filming the second part of the three-body problem." In an interview, Levy told reporters his thoughts, "I wanted to try something else -- maybe a better way to mix commercial and art films." The next film, I hope to make a commercial film, to try something different. ”

For his future, Levy was quick to announce plans.

Levy's answer is not groundless. The news that the second part of this movie began to be filmed was soon posted on the official website of the Three-Body Problem. This is not an empty phrase, but a real and prepared plan.

The release of this news made many fans interested in it, and even they completely ignored Levy's failure at the Oscars, and the topic immediately led to the movie.

After all, movies are still more attractive than awards.

In the first part of the Three-Body Problem, although the aliens have been confirmed to exist, they do not show up at all. Their looks, their technology, their characteristics, are all hidden in the clouds.

Since the release of the first part of the movie, people have been discussing what the second part of the movie will become. Humans have intercepted extraterrestrial technology, so what kind of technology will humans create? What would the cosmic war look like in the Three-Body World? Compared with classic works such as Star Wars and Star Trek, what are the characteristics of its technology? These are all things that fans are very concerned about.

It's a pity that the novel of this work is still being created, and director Levy went to shoot literary films with great ease. This makes many fans impatient to wait. For movie fans, they don't care about the status of the director, the status of the award, what they care about, all they care about is one thing: the movie they like and when it will be released.

And now, they got the news: the novel of Three-Body Problem 2 has been completed, the script adaptation is underway, and Levy is also preparing to make it into a movie, this news naturally makes fans very excited.

"Oscar this time, at least he did the right thing in this matter. If Levi is given an award and Levi continues to play literary films, then the three-body problem may not be able to meet the audience. ”

The expectation of the movie made the audience directly make their own evaluation of Levy not winning the award. Although this kind of evaluation makes people feel a little helpless, it is also a reflection of their true emotions.

Of course, some people are happy, and naturally some people will be dissatisfied. Although many people are looking forward to the early arrival of the second part of the Three-Body Problem, others are dissatisfied with Levy's going to shoot a commercial film again.

"There are not many directors now who are willing to settle down and study art, but the people in the academy still refuse to give them some affirmation. It is necessary to let all the people who were willing to shoot art films run to shoot commercial films, so that the academy can be satisfied? ”

The media also published their accusations for such a situation.

Their spearhead is aimed at the academy: over the years, as commercial films have become more and more profitable, more and more young directors have all set their sights on commercial films and put their talents on business. There are more and more directors like Nolan, but there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to study shooting techniques, and this kind of problem is also helpless. Hollywood movies are now more and more dependent on editing and special effects, in the 90s, an average of about 10 seconds for a shot, but now it has been reduced to 8 seconds, such a change also shows that these directors are not serious enough about shooting.

Since his debut, Levy has been shooting more literary films. He has always been considered a director with artistic pursuits. Needless to say, his talent is naturally needless to say, and winning the Oscars in a row has proved it, but now he is becoming less and less treated by the Oscars, and even gives up on himself to shoot commercial films, which is also a very bad sign in the eyes of the media.

Even if Oscar once gave Levy a lot of sweetness, he couldn't help but suppress it. Thinking of the coldness of the Oscars this time, the media naturally wanted to denounce the academy at this time.

Of course, Levy himself seems to be saying that he wants to try something new, not give up art films - but how can this kind of thing work, after making commercial films, he still doesn't give up trying and coaxing children?

However, just when the media was separated because Levy was going to shoot a commercial film, another news on the official website of the Three-Body Problem quickly attracted the attention of the media.

"In preparation for the filming of the second part of the Three-Body Problem, we will try to use 3D technology to shoot. This movie will give the audience a new and different feeling. ”

This news made the media almost silent: 3D movies? Levy's new attempt turned out to be a 3D live-action movie?

How is this possible? (To be continued......)
