Chapter 668: The Movie Festival
Chapter 668 Movie Festival
(Rolling all over the ground for the light of the great god~)
The annual Academy Awards are gradually approaching, and at this time, everyone's eyes are temporarily shifted to this worldwide film festival, regardless of the scandals of the stars, and regardless of the box office of the movie, in these few days, the Oscars will become the focus of all the media.
The Oscars have been promoted in full swing, from the nominations to the red carpet on the night of the awards ceremony or the drunken Hollywood night, which is a way to attract attention.
This is not only a carnival for the actors, but also a blessing for the singers and audiences, and the number of viewers who watch the live broadcast of the awards every year is maintained at tens of millions, which is an incredible number.
The Oscars haven't officially started yet, but speculation has already begun about the winner of this year's edition.
The most eye-catching film at this year's Academy Awards is "No Country for Old Men", which has won a lot of Golden Globes in the past, winning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay in one fell swoop, and this film also leads the Oscars with 8 nominations, and is the biggest favorite to win the award.
It was followed by the film "Blood is Coming" with 7 nominations, and "Atonement" with 6 nominations. Among them, "Atonement" won trophies from the Screen Actors Guild, Saturn Awards, Tony Awards and other academic teams.
The light comedy "Juno", which reflects the phenomenon of early teenage pregnancy, is also extremely eye-catching, and the heroine Peggy is not yet twenty years old in the United States, and she is known as Hollywood's rising star. The five nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Score, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director, are full of gold.
It is worth mentioning that this year's Oscar for Best Picture seems to be particularly fond of indie small- and medium-budget comedies, and after the awards ceremony, the winning films will inevitably cause a global box office frenzy.
The movie in which Yang Lin participated, and the movie "Transformers", which was also the No. 1 box office movie in 2007, was completely a supporting role at this year's Oscars, although there were five nominations, but all of them were marginal awards and technical awards. Best Visuals, Best Sounds, Best Sound Editing, Best Songs, Best Editing. Five nominations made him the king of technology this year.
Another blockbuster "Spy 3" is also as embarrassing as "Transformers", with three technical nominations, and I don't know if its director will come to the scene to watch the entire awards ceremony.
In the competition for the best foreign language film, the Chinese film "Lust and Caution", which won the first game, once again PK "Mei Lanfang", competed for another honor after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The Oscar is dressed in the halo of the highest honor in world cinema, and is regarded by most people as the vane of international blockbusters, which seems to determine people's entertainment choices to a large extent.
Filmmakers around the world understandably set the Oscar as the ultimate goal of their film career. In fact. It is very clear that they are after entertaining films.
The Oscars embody quintessentially American thinking and logic, with a clear and recognizable set of rules. Blockbuster films that are too commercial are usually difficult to get into college, and the Oscars also shy away from literary films that deviate from the popular aesthetic.
The Oscar jury is composed of people in the film industry, and if they blindly pursue niche tastes, they are encouraging Hollywood studios to invest in unprofitable literary films, which will undoubtedly hurt the profits of the film industry and is equivalent to smashing their own jobs, so the Oscars balance the compatibility of various tastes.
Compared to film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin, the Oscars should be the best example of the balance between the masses and the elite, art and business, Hollywood and other regional films. …,
to this day. The Oscars are not only an awards ceremony for films, but also a rare money-making conference. Some market participants have compared the gold medallion trophy to about $500 if it were melted down. The little golden figure itself is not expensive, and more importantly, the economic benefits behind it. The Oscars can bring great fame and money to the winners and even the nominees. Once the award-winning film is released, the producer's income will also skyrocket.
The price of the 30-second ad slot at this year's Oscars was speculated to $1.8 million, the highest since 2000. Hyundai Corporation, a South Korean automobile company, Samsung Corporation, a telecommunications giant, McDonald's of the United States, and Anheuser-Bush InBev, the world's largest beer producer, have all spent a lot of money. I hope to tap into the business opportunities of the Oscars.
This is only one aspect, even the clothes worn by celebrities on the red carpet were taken over by major designers or fashion brands in advance, as early as two months ago. The detailed data of Yang Lin's body has been placed in the computer of the famous designer John Peter.
Yang Lin is now playing soy sauce in the crew of the movie "Painted Skin", because he is about to fly to the United States to walk the red carpet, so director Chen Jiashang can only temporarily push Yang Lin's role back, and now filming is a wonderful rivalry between Xiao Wei, the painted skin banshee played by Zhou Xun, and Yang Lin's wife Chen.
"Remember to bring us an Oscar statuette back, after all, we haven't seen the real thing!" Zhao Wei, who had just finished filming a scene, couldn't wait to say to Yang Lin that she was crazy, and she didn't have the dignified and graceful luxury that she had just played the young grandmother.
Zhou Xun took off the decorations on his body one by one, and said excitedly: "I also want to walk the red carpet, but no one invited me, otherwise I can also go and see the charm of the film's pinnacle awards ceremony." After she sighed faintly, she continued: "I'm like hitting the Oscars now, but unfortunately there are no international blockbusters looking for me, so I'm still a gangster in China." ”
Yang Lin was wearing a jacket, one hand was in his trouser pocket, and the other hand was carrying his backpack, and said with a smile: "I guess I just went up to act as a spectator and performance guest, as for the Oscar, there is no hope." I am obviously an actor, and the three movies I participated in are all gathered on the Oscars, but I am competing for the little golden man as a singer, and I feel aggrieved when I think about it. ”
Sun Li was holding a cup of steaming tea, and she said to Yang Lin angrily: "Do you seem to be aggrieved now?" It's already too happy to speak, it's too fake! You should be satisfied by now, the first time you landed in Hollywood, you successfully won the Oscar as a candidate and guest performer, which is the best result in the past years. ”
Yang Lin said twice, he said aggrieved, but he was still happy in his heart, don't look at him winning the best actor at the Venice Film Festival, but the judges of the film academy still turned a blind eye. The individual awards for actors at each Oscar are fiercely competitive, and there are a lot of actors, actresses, and actresses.
On the Oscars, the actor and actress are not valuable, and any actor who comes out will have a lot of titles of actor and actress, maybe it is still the Oscar.
"Seriously, I guess I'll be over there for a week or two, so director, don't expect me to come back early, and don't rush me, I'm in the past to solve lifelong problems!"
After Yang Lin waved his hand in a dashing manner, he got into his car, he is still in the Hengdian Film and Television Base, and in a few hours he will fly directly from Shang~Hai to Los Angeles, the city of angels.
"This time we walked the red carpet and the Oscar night behind, the lineup is so big, in order not to make you look so shabby, our company has made a lot of money, from makeup artists to stylists, one by one, and Dior also used a special plane to air all five sets of your dresses." Zhang Qian said with a proud expression. …,
When people are on fire, the rest of the things revolve around you, and you can do whatever you want, and you won't talk about any price.
Yang Lin looked at Liu Yifei, who was wearing headphones and watching a movie with He Hong, shook his hand in front of her eyes, and said, "Come with me to the United States, I have a surprise for you, I have already called your mother, and she said it's no problem." ”
Liu Yifei took off the headphones very calmly, revealing two small pear vortices, and she said, "Where do you want to abduct me?" If surprise is a golden man, then I'm not going to accept it. ”
He Hong, who had long known Yang Lin's intentions, had already been warned by Yang Lin's eyes, so she secretly laughed twice and then set her eyes on the computer screen.
"Don't worry, just follow me. Surprise, you'll know when the time comes, so let's get ready to go to the airport! ”
The group set off from Hengdian and headed for the airport in Shang~Hai, ready to go to Los Angeles.
This time, "Mei Lanfang" and "Lust and Caution" were successfully shortlisted, so there will inevitably be a lot of Chinese faces on the red carpet, which is a huge temptation for the Chinese media, and they have sent reporters to interview and send back the report to the scene by the way.
According to Yang Lin's news, not only Ang Lee will attend the red carpet, but even Liang Chaowei and Tang Wei will go up to show off. And Chen Kaige, the director of the crew of "Mei Lanfang", will lead his beloved wife Chen Hong and Sun Honglei to the highest hall together.
As for Yang Lin, he doesn't need to go with the crew of "Transformers", he has his own arrangements, the red carpet affairs committee has already been notified, and Chinese actor and scandal maker Fan Binbin will also be involved.
Nowadays, the Internet information is very developed, and it is no longer a past era. The former stars climbed all kinds of relationships, went abroad for a show, and then took a few photos by themselves and sent them back, and they became international superstars. But in fact, except for the reporters arranged by themselves, foreign reporters simply don't have the leisure to take pictures of you, and the era of self-deception has passed!
At this year's Oscars, Yang Lin is still half a spectator, and he feels that he will one day become the favorite to win the Oscars, and this day will not be too late.
