Chapter 626: Uproar
The fact that "Yue Fei" was nominated for eleven nominations at the 90th Academy Awards was instantly known by all those who paid attention to the movie and the Oscars.
Everyone was shocked by the news......
Eleven nominations!
This is a Chinese film!
And, most crucially, there is an unprecedented situation where a person is nominated for both Best Actor and Best Director at the Academy Awards.
It's really incredible.
However, this involves a problem between the director and the actor......
In fact, in this world, there are still many directors who became actors at the beginning, and then slowly became directors, whether in China or abroad, there are several, but such people are often actors before, and then slowly transferred to the director industry, when they become directors, the previous actor career is basically put down.
It is obvious that Zhang Yimou, such as Zhang Yimou, has also been an actor before, and he also won a Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, but when he later became a director, he did not continue his career as an actor...... Otherwise, he will definitely have something to play in this.
After all, Zhang Yimou is still very thoughtful in terms of appearance, even if he is old, he can feel the handsomeness of his youth, which is beyond doubt.
There are many such examples in foreign countries.
Because, after all, people's energy is limited, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of both their own director and actor careers, and many people feel that they are unable to cope under such pressure, so they finally choose to specialize in one of them, rather than wanting to step on two boats and meet the two careers......
As a result, it is rare for a colleague to be nominated for an award as a director or actor...... Basically never even appeared!
Of course, there are still many self-directed and well-known people in this world, such as Jay Chou, you can think that his movies are not interesting, and that his performance is a stake, but at least, his films are done very carefully, and he has been working hard to make his own movies, "Rooftop Love" illustrates these things, and he is also trying to seek a kind of progress in movies.
The best example on the Chinese side, in addition to Luo Mo, is Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen has always tried to direct and act himself, from "The Devil is Coming" to "Let the Bullets Fly" to "One Step Away", and Jiang Wen is very successful as a director or as an actor, as a director, under his control, there are always many good films, as an actor, his performance is also very successful, since "Red Sorghum", his acting skills have been more and more affirmed......
In foreign countries, there are also people like George Washington, who have directed and acted in movies that are quite standard......
It's just that they are not as powerful as Luo Mo's movies, and they don't have the ability to impact the Oscars like Luo Mo's films......
In this way, up to now, in the entire world, in the 90 years that the Oscars have been held, Luo Mo is the first person to win both the Academy Award for Best Actor and the Academy Award for Best Director......
This has a lot to do with both subjective and objective reasons......
Now Luo Mo has won these two awards, making him the first person in history, and at the same time, Luo Mo's current popularity in the world and the recognition of everyone have also increased a lot again! In fact, to this extent, Luo Mo's popularity is already very high, but the icing on the cake to a higher level is sometimes necessary.
In this way, Luo Mo's two awards caused an uproar in the entire world.
On the Chinese side, everyone is naturally very excited, after all, Luo Mo is a Chinese, a Chinese director, in the past, he has always been able to say that he is the pride of the Chinese film industry, and now he can get such an unprecedented nomination, Chinese movie fans will only be happy for Luo Mo, of course, I also hope that he can take both awards and take both awards into his arms.
But in foreign countries, everyone's feelings are different......
As the country that likes "Yue Fei" the most, the Japanese audience expressed strong concern about Luo Mo winning two awards at the same time, and also sent many blessings.
In fact, Japan is really a strange country, especially in the matter of Luo Mo, the most intense movie "Killing Nightmare" that Luo Mo has ever made is basically aimed at the Japanese, and it did hurt the feelings of many Japanese fans at that time, but in front of Luo Mo's more powerful movies, these people who were hurt still walked back to the cinema and watched Luo Mo's movies......
In the United States, Luo Mo's "Yue Fei" has been nominated for 11 Oscars, and the news that Luo Mo was nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time has just spread, and it has really caused an uproar.
Americans also have mixed reviews on this matter......
They feel that "Yue Fei" is really a very powerful movie, and such a film has a strong force, and it can cause strong repercussions in the entire world. "Yue Fei" has achieved the pinnacle of all human war movies so far in the restoration of the ancient battlefield, and perhaps no one can surpass it for a long time......
The film "Yue Fei" uses a cold third-person perspective to describe the magnificent wars and history that took place in China during that period of time......
For such a movie, everyone thinks that it is normal to get 11 nominations, and if they don't get a lot of nominations, it will make them feel that the Academy Awards are very unfair. Of course, the fact that Luo Mo was nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time in this movie really surprised everyone, but it was only limited to surprise - who made this movie directed and acted by Luo Mo? Since he directed and acted himself, it is also very appropriate for him to be nominated for both the starring and directing projects.
Those Americans who think this way are also very optimistic about "Yue Fei" and feel that there is no problem with the Oscar nomination......
But for some Americans with excessive self-esteem, they will find such a nomination very problematic! Why, why can Chinese films get 11 horrific nominations at the Academy Awards? You must know that even if it is a Hollywood American film, it is difficult to get such a high nomination, but "Yue Fei", as a Chinese film, actually did ...... Isn't that?
What made them even more crazy was that Luo Mo was nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time! What is this? What is this called?
Such Americans are very angry and feel that the Oscars have no regard for their emotions......
But in fact, such extreme Americans are still a minority after all, and most people still support "Yue Fei", after all, art has no borders, and film, as the seventh art in the world, has a strong sense of commonality in many places......
Therefore, in the United States, "Yue Fei" has caused a strong controversy -
"I still can't tolerate it, I can't tolerate that a Chinese film can be nominated for so many nominations, and it has been nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time! I admit that I have watched the two parts of "Yue Fei", I have watched them all, and I also admit that I like this movie very much...... But at the same time, I have to say that I don't feel like this movie has that kind of magic...... Because it's a Chinese film! ”
But someone will soon refute this point of view: "This kind of thinking is too narrow, since you also admit that you like this movie, then you should think of more things, I think the film "Yue Fei" is very shocking, I have never seen such a shocking movie, nor did I think that there could be such a shocking cold weapon war movie in the world." If such a movie can't win an award, then for the people who made this movie, isn't it a kind of hard work that can't be rewarded? What's more, if this movie can win an award, it can only show that we Americans are inclusive in these aspects, as long as it is good, we will advocate it! ”
"I also agree with this point of view, indeed, what we need is such an inclusive attitude, we need to make progress in this tolerance, and in the whole of 2017, we will definitely not find a better movie than "Yue Fei", which is the same from all over the world...... So, why can't we give the best award to such a best "Yue Fei"? Isn't that a complement to each other? ”
…… On various forums in the United States, the 11 nominations for "Yue Fei" and the unprecedented two simultaneous nominations have caused huge controversy, and all kinds of discussions have never stopped.
It is in such an endless stream of voices that more and more people are paying attention to the Oscar journey of "Yue Fei", and everyone is looking forward to seeing the most outstanding performance of "Yue Fei" at the Oscars.
In the midst of the discussion, Luo Mo is also ready to go, soon, this year's Academy Awards ceremony will be held soon, Luo Mo also needs to arrive some time in advance, for public relations, but also to get acquainted with some people in advance, which is also something that every time you participate in the Oscars.
