Chapter 519: The Voice Activates
There is no doubt that even after two days have passed since the end of the award ceremony, the explosive response set off by the award ceremony of the commendation conference is still hot, all because the award ceremony is so exciting, too incredible, and there are so many interesting things to talk about in between.
Such an amazing response can be described as all-encompassing, surrounding the award ceremony, and spreading to every winner, performer, host, and award presenter.
After the awards ceremony, the popularity of films such as "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", "Lichun", "Wenque", and "Blessed with Big Ears", which were originally limited, rose sharply and became known to countless fans and audiences.
Especially "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" and "Lichun", after learning that they will be released in major theaters of Shuguang Cinemas, even if they know that there are pirated resources on the Internet, and even if the TV movie "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" will not be ideal on the big screen, many fans and audiences are still ready to go to the fans to support them.
Well, this is largely due to Lin Yuquan's call in an interview, "The attendance rate of literary films in domestic theaters has been very bad in recent years, but even if the attendance rate is bad, the plan of Shuguang Cinema Line to allocate a theater every day to screen "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" and "Lichun" will still not change. I clearly know that for literary films that are not popular and the viewing effect is not very ideal, everyone habitually likes to watch them at home, but I still hope that more friends can go into the theater, because "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" and "Lichun" are two very sincere films, if you have friends who want to see more sincere works like them in the future. Then be sure to come to the theater to support.
For me personally, it doesn't matter if people come to the theater or not, and I can afford to show them financially. However, your support is absolutely indispensable, because for sincere filmmakers like director Xu Anhua and director Gu Changwei, the support of fans and audiences and the economic return at the box office are the driving force for them to become more and more attentive in their creation in the future. ”
At the same time, Christina, who was originally not well-known in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Aguilera and Rihanna, the number of Internet search views and music plays suddenly began to soar. Posts and posts about them have also sprung up on the Internet; Zhang Hanyu, who won the actor of the year, also became more well-known and was known to more audiences; The chopsticks brothers and the song "Old Boy" became famous in one fell swoop, and then led to a volcanic eruption at the box office, and the singing talent show "The Voice of China" with Liu Huan, Na Ying, Yu Chengqing, and Zheng Jun as mentors has aroused the attention and curiosity of countless people.
After the awards ceremony. Shen Yuan, who was in charge of the program's production, did not immediately hold a press conference for "The Voice of China" until two days of topic brewing, and then held a grand press conference at the Hilton Hotel in Kyoto on December 9.
In addition to Liu Huan, Na Ying, Yu Chengqing, and Zheng Jun, there were also Li Zongsheng, who served as the music director. Such a strong lineup alone is shocking enough. The conditions for participation and the championship rewards announced on the spot made countless musicians and music lovers in the two sides of the strait crazy.
Here, the tutors only care about your singing voice and speak with strength, regardless of appearance, figure, age, gender, as long as you love singing and have a good singing voice, you can sign up.
Such conditions are undoubtedly an excellent slogan. It makes countless music lovers who are not confident about their looks, body or age excited.
As for the championship reward, many singers who have signed with record companies can't hold back the excitement in their hearts, oh my God. The champion can get a record contract from Dawning Music and create a million-dollar album for it, the former is not enough, the latter is too amazing.
Accustomed to the bright lives of the kings and queens, perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, an album with a production cost of more than one million is nothing remarkable for singers, but these are just appearances, in fact, in the Chinese music industry, an album with a production cost of more than one million is definitely a big deal.
The production cost of an album includes the cost of producers, recording fees, lyrics and songs, arrangers, mixer fees, styling, photography, costumes, music videos, MV shooting costs, etc., among which the production costs, lyrics and music fees, arrangers, and MV shooting costs are undoubtedly the largest expenses.
Generally speaking, in the Chinese music scene, the production cost of an album by singers is about 300,000-500,000 yuan, of course, unless they can create it themselves, and they produce it themselves, the quality of such an album is definitely not high.
Taking the Hong Kong music scene as an example, the four major record companies Universal, Warner, Sony and EMI produce albums for singers at the level of Eason Chan, Jacky Cheung, Chen Huilin, Joey Yung and other kings and queens, and the average production cost is only equivalent to about 1.3 million yuan.
In comparison, the production costs of Hong Kong and Baodao are actually relatively high, and in the mainland music scene, there are absolutely only a handful of singers who can reach this figure in album production costs in recent years.
It is not difficult to imagine the huge repercussions caused by such a sky-high champion reward in the music scene of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, not to mention the million-level album, breaking one million is just the basic, Lin Yuquan did not attend the press conference, but he once again showed his usual generosity through the VCR, domineering said, "As long as the students who get the championship are good enough, two million production costs, three million production costs, what's not okay, as long as it's good enough, what's not okay with Yuquan family and supernova artists starring in MVs, as long as it's good enough, What is not to do with Ning Hao and Xiao Yang shooting MVs, as long as you are good enough, everything is possible, what are you waiting for! "The Voice of China" is waiting for you. ”
Lin Yuquan is naturally very happy that the nest has exploded on the Internet because of "The Voice of China", this is the effect he wants, under such bombardment, it is conceivable that the subsequent "The Voice of China" will inevitably attract a large number of students with good voices to participate in the show. And this is just the beginning, the mentors compete for the students, and strive to lead the team to win the championship is a part that he is very much looking forward to. In order to stimulate the competitive psychology of the mentors and let the mentors devote themselves wholeheartedly, in addition to the basic appearance remuneration, a certain amount of mentors are also set up to win the championship, and the mentor competition will definitely be very exciting.
In fact, the good news that makes Lin Yuquan feel good is not only "The Voice of China".
"Wow, that's amazing. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Action Film, Best Film Music, "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" has a total of five nominations, and "Heartbeat" has been shortlisted for two nominations for Best Little Actor and Best Song. Liu Yifei said excitedly. followed by an unwilling pout: "It's a pity that the nominations are not the most." ”
"You should be nominated as a cabbage, seven of them is already very good." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
As the leader of the North American Film Critics Association in terms of Oscar match, the 14th North American Broadcast Film Critics Association announced the list of nominees today on December 9, in addition to the National Board of Critics, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Association, and the Golden Globe Awards. DiCaprio and Kate. "Revolutionary Road" starring Winslet is nowhere to be seen. Almost all of the Oscar favorites that are generally favored by film critics are included. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" leads the nomination list with 8 nominations, followed by "Milk" with 7 nominations, and has already won several film awards with 6 nominations for Slumdog Millionaire, followed by his "Wild Tales: Rise of the Apes" and star-studded "Question", both of which have received 5 nominations.
"But I think Andy, who plays Caesar. Serkis deserves to be nominated for Best Actor, he played it so well! Liu Yifei said indignantly.
Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, how could he not think so, not only Andy. Serkis. Take Benedict. Cumberbatch's outstanding performance in "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" also deserves a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Not only him, but many film critics said in film reviews that the performances of the two are almost perfect, and the Oscars should pay enough attention to the two, and their performance is worthy of a little golden man, but the reality is that the unique way of performing to capture the performance has not been generally regarded as the embodiment of extraordinary acting skills, and is more associated with special effects.
"I know, and I think Andy is a great actor, but the key is that there are a lot of people who don't admit that motion capture is a real performance."
"Why don't you admit that although there is a special effect, it is also a performance in itself!" Liu Yifei puffed out her bun face.
"It's naturally a performance in itself, and it's the most critical part of it, but it's because motion capture post-production takes far more time than acting, so it's considered to be significantly different from acting, but I've already asked people to do PR activities, and I hope to have a good result in the Oscars later." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, this is the only thing he can do, no way, it is an indisputable fact that motion capture contains too many special effects, and it is completely reasonable not to be recognized.
"Oh, well!" Liu Yifei said a little unwillingly, followed by his good-looking eyes and looked at Lin Yuquan with curiosity: "Brother Yuquan, which of these five nominations do you think can be awarded?" ”
"I haven't seen these films that are also nominated, Yifei, how do you let me judge and analyze, subjective judgment and analysis are meaningless, wait until I watch the film, and in two days I should be able to receive the DVD that Chris sent from the United States." Lin Yuquan shook his head with a smile.
"Well, that's right." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, but was immediately replaced by a look of apprehension and expectation: "I don't know how many awards I can win at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards later?" It would be nice if it could win the Best Picture award. ”
"Best Picture? No, I would like to receive this award. Lin Yuquan's eyes were full of smiles, and the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Critics' Choice Awards, which are the five major weather vanes of the Oscars, were announced in Los Angeles time on December 9, Kyoto time in the early morning of December 10, at this award, his "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" and "Heartbeat" two films were shortlisted at the same time, of which "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Design Four awards nominations, "Heartbeat" Nominated for Best Cinematography.
"Ah, why!" Liu Yifei's delicate little face was wrinkled, and there was a deep doubt in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yuquan.
"Heh, the reason is very simple, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the Oscar match rate is not very high, if I win the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, doesn't it mean that there is a great possibility that I won't get the Oscar." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
Founded in 1975, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has 53 members, mainly film critics from various entertainment media such as Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Rotten Tomatoes.
Unlike the Oscars, whose average age is over 50 years old, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, with an average age of only 37 years old, tends to pay more attention to entertainment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has a unique insight into the film industry and the social impact of the film, which makes the award results of the two often very different.
The most obvious example is that since 1994, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has not crossed paths with the Oscars for 14 consecutive years in the Best Picture award, and even "Letter from Iwo Jima" in 2007 has completely deviated from the Oscar trend.
In history, the overlap rate between it and the Oscars for Best Picture is 24%, the overlap rate of Best Director is 32%, the overlap rate of Best Actor is 40%, and the overlap rate of actress is 32%, and the overlap rate is not very high.
Therefore, winning an award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards is not necessarily a good thing, and on the contrary, not winning an award is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Ah, should I hope to win or not?" Liu Yifei suddenly became distressed, winning the award should be a good thing, but it is very likely that he will not get the Oscar, and not winning the award should be a bad thing, but maybe there is a greater possibility of getting the Oscar, which is really an extremely contradictory thing.
"Silly girl, what's there to worry about, let it be, I'm lucky, I lost my life, it's not impossible to have a low overlap rate, okay, don't frown, it's going to get old soon!" Lin Yuquan doted on the girl's forehead with his hand.
"Hmm." Liu Yifei suddenly smiled: "I believe that Brother Yuquan, you will definitely win both the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the Oscars." ”
"Ha, that's right, I believe it too." Lin Yuquan laughed.
Later, when Liu Yifei continued to check the information of renting out the private island with great interest, Lin Yuquan also began to be busy with his work.
Time passed quickly.
"Whew, it's not early, Yifei, wash up and rest." Lin Yuquan stretched and said with a smile.
"Now, isn't the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards announced in the early hours of the morning? Wait for the results to be revealed before resting! Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"Okay, don't wait, won't you find out tomorrow morning? Rest, it's best to come together tomorrow to hear the good news. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Oh well, it's going to be good news." (To be continued......)
