In the final stage of the awards ceremony, all the winners withdrew, saving Hollywood's reputation, but pushing AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) to the forefront of global public opinion. And 8949 Wester Avenue in Beverly Hills, where the college is located, became the center of the storm. As soon as the award ceremony ended, it was filled with journalists from global media.

At half past one in the morning, the reporters waited for an hour in the cold wind. The staff opened the courtyard and placed the podium and microphone on the steps of the building, and the current president of AMPAS and first vice presidents, Carl Molden and Frank Pearson, were late.

Frank Pearson, the first vice chairman and former Hollywood screenwriter and director, who is nearly 60 years old, waited for the staff to adjust the microphone before standing at the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we regret what happened today. Here, once again, I explain the judging rules for our Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards,......。 In other words, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards are awards that are not controlled by any government, individual, or organization, but objectively reflect the true evaluation and opinions of the 5,796 judges on the selected films. ”

The reporters at the scene regarded the people on the stage as nonsense, and continued to whisper, waiting for Dean Carl Morden to come out and give an explanation. Although Frank Pearson is the number two person in the academy, he does not represent the academy at all, at most he can only represent himself!

The reason why the Academy Awards are considered by everyone to be the fairest award in the world is because the votes are in the hands of nearly 6,000 people, and they are relatively elite people in the industry. However, you are not here to discuss this. Someone has already questioned its impartiality tonight, and with the support of all the laureates of this year, the Academy must give an explanation.

These reporters are not interested in maintaining the image of the Oscars, they care about the news, whether they can get readers to pay for newspapers and magazines; Will the audience stay in front of the TV and watch the show and watch the advertisement at the same time!

After the assistant explained the judging rules, the elderly Carl Molden walked up to the podium and gave his speech.

"God has given us the right to speak, and the Constitution guarantees our freedom of speech! I appreciate and agree with Mr. Chris Swift's remarks just now, that we in the United States are a great country with full freedom of speech. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as a civil organization in the United States, also allows anyone to express a different opinion, which is a right given to him by God and the Constitution! ”

The reporters who were interviewing the scene were quiet, this is the territory of the Americans, and American journalists naturally account for the overwhelming majority. When it comes to God and the U.S. Constitution, these people instinctively maintain enough respect and reverence.

"Racial discrimination in the United States is an objective fact that cannot be avoided! Hollywood has zài racial discrimination, which is also an objective fact, and it cannot be avoided! From my personal standpoint, I also agree that "Shawshank" won the best picture, and I swear to God, I voted for "Shawshank", but this does not overturn the jury's jury. Gentlemen, the United States is a country governed by the rule of law, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a non-governmental organization, and the judging rules of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards are voted on by everyone and have the same legal effect. On the premise that the evaluation rules have not been revised, the evaluation results of this year's Academy Awards are legitimate. ”

There was no heckling at the scene, even the audience in front of the TV remained quiet, and the spirit of the rule of law has penetrated into every corner of the country and into everyone's bones.

"Gentlemen, don't shy away from a problem, what we need is to find a way to solve it. To borrow a famous saying from China's mother country, 'When pouring out the bath water, it is not acceptable for the most stupid woman to throw it out along with the baby sitting in the bathtub.' ’

Now, instead of questioning the fairness of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, we need to find a way to eliminate racial discrimination.

Until a more perfect evaluation system is found, the current evaluation system is still valid, unless someone can come up with a more perfect plan and get the approval of various associations and trade unions. That's the end of my presentation, thank you! ”

"Mr. Molden, Mr. Molden...... ' The reporters asked for questions, but the college staff ignored them and escorted the two deans into the office building, leaving only Theodore Earbanks, the school's spokesperson.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's press conference, thank you."

……

is sitting in front of the fireplace in Sun Ziming's house, staring at Fa Ge and Li Rui on the TV, watching the live news on the TV and looking at each other, is this okay?

"Why not? The judging of our Hong Kong Academy Awards is based on the rules of the Oscars, can you find a fairer jury rule? ”

Sun Ziming sighed helplessly and continued: "In fact, there is no racial discrimination? You Hong Kong people still look down on us mainlanders, regional discrimination is still like this, not to mention that everyone is of different races! ”

"Brother Ming, according to what you say, let's just forget it?"

Jiang Peng glared at him angrily, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

George, who came from home on purpose, didn't see it that way, Boss was right, if someone slapped your left cheek, wouldn't the right cheek also be slapped by someone?

"No, we have to make people breathe, if we don't give us an explanation, Light and Shadow and Universal will withdraw from the future Oscar selection, making it a complete joke!"

Everyone came to the spirit at once, and even Sun Ziming, who was already ready to compromise, stared at George. When my brain was hot, I thought I could turn over the clouds and rain, but as soon as I calmed down, I realized that my arms couldn't twist my thighs.

"Lifetime membership and aging membership are the two major problems faced by film schools. There is at least a generation of difference between the members of the Academy and the filmmakers (nominees). And there is at least two generations of difference between members of the academy and the average moviegoer. There are 300,000 employees in Hollywood, and there are only 6,000 members, and I have counted 35% of people over 60 years old and 24% over 50 years old. Many people are no longer working in film, but they still have voting rights. ”

Jiang Peng immediately reacted and asked, "George, you mean, we can't change the rules, so change the composition of voting members?" ”

"Yes, I think the reason why "Shawshank" failed was not only the problem of race, but also the problem of too many elderly people. They were people who lived in the sixties and seventies, and they had a penchant for Westerns, and they voted for "Unforgiven" out of that preference. ”

Fa Ge was not familiar with the United States, so he hurriedly asked: "George, but everyone thinks that "Shawshank" is greater, are they lying?" ”

Sun Ziming said disdainfully: "Some people are lying, but it can only be a very small minority. Those old guys have long since withdrawn from everyone's sight, who will interview them? ”

“Yes！ Here's the problem, those old guys are not only racist, but also obsessed with Westerns. Of course, there will be racism in the hearts of the other judges, and many may have instinctively voted for "Unforgiven"! ”

"Yes, yes, yes", Sun Ziming agreed, stood up and walked a few steps, looked at George and said: "George, ESPN must have its own opinion, what do you think?" ”

"Of course, ESPN is a professional entertainment and sports TV station, although we only focus on entertainment and sports, but this is a major event in the entertainment industry, of course, we must have our own opinions and opinions!"

Everyone laughed knowingly, and kicked the ball back to the academy, see how you take it?
