This is a market that attaches great importance to copyright, but many people's copyright awareness is not as high as rumored, including some college judges, past Oscar film piracy leaks, all have something to do with the judges' low awareness of copyright, in Duke's view, this time may not be an exception. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info//

Most typically, the Oscar judges are not alone, they have relatives and friends, as well as neighbors and colleagues, and if these people see the relevant DVD in their home and ask for a loan, I believe many people will not refuse.

They don't understand that what they're doing is actually 'stealing', they lend DVDs to neighbors, and then neighbors' kids may put resources online......

Once the DVD leaves their hands, they simply don't know what will happen next.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is, after all, a relatively loose system, not a tightly knit organization like the FBI or the CIA.

It is no exaggeration to say that every year when the awards season arrives, it is time for the popular film resources of the awards season to flow out in advance, and when many movies are released on a small scale in North America in mid-to-late December, the R version of the film has already been flying all over the Internet.

Although a considerable number of people in the circle do not think that a person who can watch pirated movies is a person who is willing to buy a ticket to watch a movie, and those who are ready to watch pirated movies are likely not to be people who will spend money to watch movies in the first place, it is an indisputable fact that this will affect the actual income of a movie.

This phenomenon has been around for many years, but neither the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nor the MPAA can come up with a good solution.

"There's actually no good way to solve ......"

In the moving car, Duke talked to Scarlett, who was sitting next to him, about it, "unless you can get most of the judges from the academy to come into the theater." ”

Scarlett pouted, "But it's obviously impossible. ”

I want the judges of the academy to cast their votes responsibly. It's too difficult, not to mention Duke and Scarlett, even the academy's executive committee understands it. This simply cannot be done.

It's like Duke, while mailing the Gravity R version. Two large-scale pull-out meetings were also held, and many college judges were invited, but a considerable number of people did not attend, not to mention anything else, age alone is a difficult problem to solve, after all, some judges are too old, and no one can expect them to spend so much time and energy to participate in such an event.

"That's right. I just read a message from the newspaper. ”

As if thinking of something, Scarlett reminded Duke, "A lot of media hype about Natalie lately? News of Portman's pregnancy. ”

She couldn't help but admire, "She's really smart!" ”

Duke patted Scarlett's hand gently, "Smart people don't have the last laugh. ”

About Natalie? The news of Portman's pregnancy was spread to him a long time ago, and Duke also remembered the Natalie who once walked on the Oscar stage and lifted the Best Actress statuette? Portman, at that time, he was just happy that his favorite movie star won the Oscar, and he didn't expect that behind the pregnancy, there might also be a careful public relations plan.

Even now. Duke also had to sigh that this was definitely a killer feature for Oscar.

Let's be honest. The movie "Black Swan" and Natalie? Portman's role as a schizophrenic is excellent, especially in line with the mainstream aesthetics of the college, plus the bonus points that pregnant women will inevitably bring, even Duke thinks, Natalie? Portman really should be the number one favorite for Best Actress at this Oscar.

The first favorite may not be able to win the award, and there are too many factors that affect the final evaluation of the Oscars.

But Duke still admires Natalie? Portman, she's too good at using her mind, her identity, and everything she can to take advantage of.

As the car pulls into the confines of Beverly Hills, Duke reminds Scarlett, "It's coming." ”

Scarlett pulls on the vanity mirror on the roof of the car. See if you need touch-ups.

The two of them were going to a pull-out party, which had nothing to do with Gravity. Rather, it was the Weinstein brothers' pull party for "The King's Speech," which has been in the news lately. There is an endless stream of news about online piracy, and in fact, it is not difficult for people like Duke to see that Harvey? Weinstein and Bob? When Weinstein saw the piracy happening, it was clear that he wanted to use it to build momentum for the film.

The negative impact of online piracy cannot be completely eliminated, and it is also a clever publicity tactic to use these news that are of interest in the industry to hype up "The King's Speech", so as to make the film more well-known and further attract the attention of the judges.

Is Duke accepting Harvey? Weinstein's invitation came, he joined the Oscar game this year, and the other party naturally wanted to test it in some aspects, although Duke's relationship with the core judges of the academy can only be said to be average, but he is now a representative of a major force in Hollywood, and no one can ignore his weight.

Before the start of the pull-tab meeting, the Duke and Weinstein brothers said a few words, now is not the time to talk in depth, the meaning of the brothers' tentative is obvious, and some things are not difficult to guess, Harvey? Weinstein and Bob? Weinstein wanted to see which awards Duke was going to attack, the Jewish brothers were definitely well-informed figures in Hollywood, and it was clear that Duke himself was not very interested in the Oscars, and it would be good for both of them to agree on some aspects.

After agreeing with the Weinstein brothers to talk about the film, Duke took Scarlett into the hotel's specially prepared screening room to watch "The King's Speech".

In the previous Oscar registration, Warner Bros. applied for Best Picture for "Inception", "Gravity" and "Harry Potter and Under the Deathly Hallows".

It's not a secret that the Oscars favor inspirational films, the theme of "The King's Speech" is destined to be a work that will be popular with the Oscars, and movies about the serious theme of the British royal family can often gain a good reputation and win various awards, from "Elizabeth" to "The Queen", even if the reputation is very poor, "Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age" can also get a Best Costume Design Award at the Oscars to support the façade.

And the production level of "The King's Speech" itself is definitely excellent, it is a typical Weinstein Oscar assembly line work, coupled with the good impression of "The Queen" in the hearts of the academy judges, it is natural to become a big hit at this year's Oscar Best Picture.

In a way, it's also a decent film, but a decent film has an advantage in awards season.

Just as a good movie is not necessarily a big hit, a good movie may not necessarily be recognized by the Oscars.

The most typical is "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption", even now, many people think that if there is no "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely become the biggest winner of that Oscar.

There is no doubt that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a good movie, but without "Forrest Gump", it would not be the winner of the Oscars, even if it is thrown to the "Shakespeare in Love" edition, "The Shawshank Redemption" will still be an Oscar companion.

Just like the theme of "The King's Speech", it will naturally be favored by the Oscars, and the prison theme of "The Shawshank Redemption" has never been the genre that the academy really likes.

What's more, there are too many factors that can affect the outcome of the Oscars, and sometimes the weight of the movie itself is even negligible.

Like the last Oscars, James? Cameron and "Avatar" lost to Catherine? Bigelow and "Bomb Disposal Unit" are typical political victories.

In recent years, the influence of Oscars on politics has become more and more obvious, politics has never been far from Hollywood, and "The King's Speech" is also a typical political film, the protagonist in the film is the stuttering father who is now the owner of Buckingham Palace.

I don't know if it's a public relations factor, or fake news released by the Weinstein brothers, but there have also been media reports recently that Elizabeth II herself liked the film "The King's Speech......

"I did send a copy to Buckingham Palace......"

In a lounge, Harvey? Weinstein seemed very frank and said to Duke, "It is said that the Queen herself has seen the film and nodded her head in approval." ”

Duke is well aware that it doesn't matter whether the queen herself likes the film or not, Elizabeth II is silent most of the time, and the film reflects his father's proudest past, and Buckingham Palace will not easily refute this view.

Duke tapped the armrest of the couch lightly, and said to Harvey on the left? Weinstein said, "I also think it's a good film. ”

"Really?" Harvey? Weinstein showed a slightly surprised expression, "There are not many films that can get your approval." ”

"Harvey......" Duke didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and asked directly, "What awards are you planning for "The King's Speech"?" ”

Harvey? Weinstein put away his smile and said seriously, "Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, these are the three primary awards!" ”

He was able to invite Duke, naturally he felt what Duke wanted, and there was no major conflict of interest between the two parties, otherwise this meeting would only be reduced to a joke.

Duke is silent for the moment, Harvey? Weinstein thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "On the Internet, the demand for your Inception is very high. ”

"Oh?" Duke turned his head and raised his brow slightly, Harvey? Weinstein added, "The storytelling of Inception is unparalleled. ”

"No kidding, Harvey." Duke couldn't help but shake his head, "We all know that Oscar has never been interested in good stories. (To be continued.) )
