Chapter 23: Don't worry, get two prizes first

"Awards season films" are generally released in November-December, that is, before the Oscar nomination voting begins: the first to come!

Looking at the best films of the past 15 years, only three films, "Gladiator", "Crash" and "Bomb Disposal Unit", were drawn in the non-awards season window...

That's why the Gotham Film Festival and the Memphis Independent Film Festival are slowly catching up with Sundance – the Sundance Film Festival awards the awards in January every year!

The five outposts of the awards season: film critics, union awards, BAFTA awards, critics' choice awards, Golden Globe awards...

The most influential film critics are the New York film critics, the Boston film critics and the Los Angeles film critics.

The New York Film Critics Awards have a long history - founded in 1935, although the awards and film school tastes are quite different, and the Oscars do not overlap much, but in terms of art genre films, it still has a very important indicator status.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards are a rising star, 40 years later than "New York", but because of the geographical advantage of the proximity to the water, it has become an important awards monsoon vane in just a few years.

It also has a preference for works that are artistic.

But unlike "New York", "Los Angeles film critics" still appreciate innovative commercial genre films, which is more tacit with the Oscars.

For example, the best films in the "Los Angeles Film Critics Awards" in 15 and 16 were "Spotlight" and "Moonlight Boy", which have won the Oscar for Best Picture for two consecutive years.

The Boston Film Critics Award is considered a junior brother, but people are bold enough to often nominate for Best Picture and not even get an Oscar nomination, but Massachusetts ranks second in the publishing industry in the United States, and Boston Film Critics have naturally become one of the vanes of the awards season...

"Man on the Moon" won awards from New York film critics and Boston film critics - Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Director!

People give you face like this, can you not go?

It's awards season, why don't you try...

……

Foreign film review media, the way of survival is mainly customer support, that is, to write neutral and objective articles, and after gaining customer recognition, they will forward them into benefits, such as advertising investment or something, of course, they also have to receive red envelopes, but they will choose among the most intense films of the awards season, instead of closing their eyes and blindly blowing it!

"Baby" can be blown into a masterpiece, what is the top 50 IMDb - the total number of ratings has not reached 50, what is there to brag about?

The so-called transformation work is untenable at all, because she has not been determined to do this from the beginning, she has been a traffic and star for so many years, and she wants to reverse the audience's impression with a serious theme, and this audience has long been not so easy to deceive.

The movie version of the domestic portal website, for example, NetEase also has self-media, professional film reviews publish articles, and are oriented in nature.

More of their benefits depend on the support of the filmmaker, simply put, if they want to make money, they must help the producer write "blowing water" or help the opponent write "smear".

Their objective value has completely become the "subjective value" of the filmmaker.

Foreign media also write "blowing water" for money, but once a reporter or column writes this, and the film comes out, it will make his peers laugh and even ruin his future.

When Brother Tang made an Olympic blockbuster "Action Target Hitler", when the film was not released, the media were invited to do a small early viewing party, and these media received some benefits from Tang Erye, and praised it as an Oscar-level blockbuster, and then, when it was released, the reviews were average, and Tang Erye once became a laughing stock.

The old American talk show actor dares to say anything!

I'm afraid you'll forget about it, and in 2011, it was picked out by many people, all kinds of sarcasm...

If this was in China, it is estimated that it would have been blocked a long time ago!

Therefore, it is unlikely that a form of awards with film critics as the authority will be formed in China, and even if there is, it will eventually become garbage that no one cares about!

Just like this year's Hundred Flowers Awards, does anyone know the exact date of the awards?

No one pays attention, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles has become a laughing stock, probably only the winner of the award will be excited!

……

In the afternoon, most of the actors evacuated the set, most of them flew back to their respective cities, Xiaobai only left an executive producer and a few other assistants to deal with the aftermath of the crew, and he and David flew back to the United States!

"Knocking on the Door of Heaven" has a history of 26 days, and the filming is complete!

On the plane, Xiaobai probably made up for the major outposts of the awards season, and then was a little depressed: "Didn't you say that the union award is the time to exert force?" ”

"Yes, the union award is the time to really make a difference, but the film critics association award is also very important, if we can't win these awards, how can we guarantee that the film can be seen by the union?"

David replied seriously.

If the "Film Critics Association Awards" can more or less influence how the Oscar judges choose among the stacks of "submitted for review" of the sample films, then the Union Awards are truly the awards that can be called "weather vanes".

The reason for this is simple: the voters for the Guild Awards are among the top industry insiders in all aspects of filmmaking, and their professional opinions in their respective sections should not be underestimated; And most importantly, the voters who participated in the various union awards have different degrees of overlap with the voters of the Oscar awards.

Basically, winning the union award is equivalent to winning the Oscar!

"What about the Golden Globes?"

“… The Golden Globes are just an award for foreign journalists, and they have nothing to do with the Oscars! ”

Film critics often complain that the nomination rules of the Golden Globe Awards are: who is popular and who is popular, who is senior and who is popular, and who is popular, without the professionalism and authority of the Oscars.

But there are a lot of nominations!

There are more nominations, and there are naturally more stars who come to the scene; In the on-site session, the host's poisonous tongue was repeated, and there was laughter; At the awards ceremony, the stars sat around the table and could drink on the spot, not as formal and serious as the Oscars.

Nicknamed the "Hollywood Tea Party" or "Hollywood Spring Festival Gala"...

The ratings are often around 20 million, although it is not as good as the Oscars, but it has also become the second largest film and television drama event in the United States!

"Actually, if you can stay in North America for two months, I can guarantee that you will win one for Best Picture or Best Director!"

David flickered.

Why do you want to keep Xiaobai for two months?

Not for PR yet!

The so-called public relations refers to arranging a number of screenings for the judges through the official approval of the Oscars, and the main creator communicates with the audience after each show, so that everyone knows your creative intentions.

This kind of activity doesn't actually cost much, but it is time-consuming, and it is a bit difficult to operate for non-American filmmakers who are busy with work.

Xiaobai shook his head: ""The Man on the Moon" is not competitive enough, wait for next year's "One Flew Over the Madhouse"!" ”

"One Flew Over the Asylum" is a Grand Slam player!

"By the way, who did you choose the heroine?"

"Anne Hathaway..."

“… Too young, I want an actress who is about the same age as Robert Downey and has a slightly chubby body! ”

"Julianne Moore, Kate Winslet, Francis McDormand..."

It's these people again, can't they be replaced with a few new ones?

“… It's better to find Gong Li! ”

I couldn't help but complain
