China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 362 Best Picture

[… Let’s first look at its organizer, whose full name is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

Originated in 1943, the founders were 23 foreign journalists. In 1944, the Golden Globe Awards were held in the form of a luncheon.

Don’t think that having fewer people means you are elite.

To put it bluntly, the HFPA is the product of a group of foreign reporters stationed in Hollywood who want to stay close to Hollywood and stay together to keep themselves warm.

Before NBC telecast in 1995, its influence was minimal.

To this day, it still only maintains a size of about 90 people. It has nothing to do with "foreign countries" and has long been filled with a large number of American reporters.

Moreover, most of them work part-time.

So much so that the Golden Globe Awards are ridiculed as "an outsider's game."

Gary Oldman once joked: This organization is just the masturbation of 90 little people.

...In other words, the Golden Globe Awards judges are not more qualified than the audience. The only difference is the impact of their votes on a movie and actors. For example, the Golden Globe Awards attract a lot of media and public attention.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world watch the Golden Globes on television and online—such is the power of notoriety.

However, Lu Xiao also knows what many people think. After the Golden Globe nominations were announced, the reaction was naturally positive at first. Even ordinary viewers knew that "Gravity", which dominated last summer's film schedule, was shortlisted for the American award. Chen Jingxing may have

This will win Best Director.

It comes from a strange mentality of saving character.

Because today is the day when the Oscar nominations are announced, and they are already in the process of being announced.

Lu Xiao gritted his teeth and opened the favorite live broadcast webpage. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the picture after the buffering was completed.

Not only is he paying attention, Chen Jingxing's fans and many netizens are also very concerned about the Oscar nominations. What's even more outrageous is that some video websites and media even started live broadcasts to broadcast the Oscar nominations.

"Gravity" is a special effects blockbuster and a commercial blockbuster, and its global box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars. This is what makes people confused.

hehe.

Being nominated for a Golden Globe for "Gravity" was not only a thunderous success in the United States, but also caused widespread coverage around the world. It also puzzled some people in China.

And as the seventh art, film certainly cannot ignore artistic achievements.

Then he deleted all the text that he had saved to counterattack, and replaced it with "If you have the ability, can you make a "Gravity" for me? Make a "Matrix" for me? It's not difficult for you, you can make it.

I admire you even if you produce "Comet", and I will kneel down and kowtow to you! If the directors trained by China are bugs like you, there will really be no hope for the future." Posted in the comment area.

There is only one center. The video I shot is good, very good. I used this technique to pay tribute to the master. It’s your problem if you don’t understand it.

Obviously, Chen Jingxing's status as a commercial film director is undoubtedly a shortcoming. In terms of awards, let alone those masters, he cannot even compare with several first-class directors in China.

The fact that this issue is still ranked ninth on the hot list illustrates the problem.

The so-called "Delongwangshu" has no shortage of box office and ratings, so it naturally has to compete with status.

If it continues to develop, I am afraid that the Golden Globe Awards will be reduced to worthless. The Golden Globe Awards are known as the sentinel awards and weathervanes of the Oscars. If the weathervanes are not valuable anymore, what does the Oscars mean?

Lu Xiao even wondered if there were other domestic directors or film companies secretly guiding public opinion. After all, DreamWorks' impact on China's existing film industry in recent years could be felt by even an ordinary movie fan like him.

It’s no wonder that Chinese movies often do something that pretends to be profound. It turns out that there are such “philosopher kings” everywhere in the film industry. It’s no wonder that they are not down-to-earth.

But after "The Matrix", these voices have almost died down, because they can't make people pay attention to things other than the movie. The movie itself has no political spectrum for people to take sides, and it can't escape the far-fetched meaning if it has to be extended.

Of course, these voices are actually not loud and can only be considered a minority. However, in the eyes of die-hard movie fans like Lu Xiao, even the minority voices are very harsh and eye-catching.

The implication is that there is no need to rejoice over this thing. The Golden Globe Awards are of dubious gold content and are easy to be publicized.

He has no memory of what happened more than ten years ago. At that time, China had not really entered the Internet era, and although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was invested by a Chinese film, it was actually more like a Hong Kong and Taiwan movie, or

Joint venture movies, this lacks a layer of resonance.

But doesn’t this involve his idol? Doesn’t it involve his favorite movies? Moreover, movies and filmmakers from his own country are expected to appear at the Oscars again after more than ten years.

Can "Gravity" be compared to "Titanic"?

China has never been short of people who like to reflect and have higher requirements for their own people than for outsiders, so a large number of people "revealed the hidden rules of the Golden Globe Awards' public relations", "you can buy the Golden Globe Awards with money", and "senior Hollywood directors"

"Once exposed the inside story of the Golden Globe Awards", and even like the article he just read questioning "how valuable the Golden Globe Awards are", popular science news and voices gradually emerged.

Fortunately, he had always believed that Chen Jingxing was still young and would have many opportunities to be recognized by awards in the future, but he was still very surprised that this moment came so quickly.

What's more, this is indeed a blockbuster with visual spectacle. Such a film can compete for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director. This has won the applause and support of many young people in the United States. Although the Hollywood Awards and the Spring Festival Gala are not comparable,

The level is also different, but the treatment is similar. Every year it attracts

It is a crime to post the dissatisfaction and complaints of netizens, especially young people, about being old-fashioned, old-fashioned, white people partying, lack of diversity, and being out of touch with the masses. Therefore, the inclusion of "Gravity", a foreign special effects blockbuster, is very popular in online public opinion.

Yes, they really want to put superhero movies on the competition list.

Although several days have passed since Chen Jingxing became the first director in the history of the Golden Globe Awards to be nominated for two films at the same time, the influence and discussion have not completely dissipated.

However, as the popularity began to fade, different voices naturally emerged, especially in several more literary or "high-minded" website forums.

Lu Xiao browsed a high praise comment on Zhihu under "What do you think of Chen Jingxing's nomination for multiple American Golden Globe Awards for two movies?"

The Best Director Award for Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers is indeed an honor, but at the level of a great director, it is just the most basic thing.

Therefore, as a fan of Chen Jingxing, the topics he fights with on the Internet basically revolve around the director's status.

There is an example in history of an actor being nominated and winning for two films in one year, but this is indeed the first time for a director.

Lu Xiao snorted in his heart. Recently, he has become more and more disgusted with these so-called directors with a professional background.

They are both Cannes, Venice and Berlin, so you have to have awards of similar weight - not necessarily of the same level or type. The two major Hollywood awards are not quite comparable to the three major ones in Europe, but the weight is similar or even greater.

In fact, Chen Jingxing's fans, or fans, no longer have any rivals to speak of.

If it ends in vain, he will definitely be disappointed.

That's why Lu Xiao is so happy to nominate Chen Jingxing for the Golden Globe Award. Although in his opinion, "Gravity" and "The Matrix", especially "The Matrix", are definitely great movies and cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

Chen Jingxing does not need the blessing of any awards, he is also a film master.

A little green among thousands of flowers, which is quite eye-catching compared to other answers.

In the extremely familiar surging and thick orchestral music, along with the beating drums, the astronauts followed the out-of-control robotic arm and smashed directly outside the computer screen!

Chen Jingxing, Guo Fan and others didn't seem to want to get along with such a director. Only Tian Xinye excitedly called this "junior brother" an idiot, which Lu Xiao took seriously.

As a senior keyboard warrior, he rarely uses the logic of "you get better, you get better" when confronting people. However, since the other party is a student majoring in directing and a future film and television drama director, he naturally has to use this logic.

But even if the foreign language film cannot be nominated, will there be some chances for some technical awards?

The competition for Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film is more difficult than the Golden Globe Awards, and sometimes it is more artistic. The domestic film industry has been clamoring for Oscars for foreign language films for so many years, isn’t it?

Let’s not talk about professionalism for now, but Lu Xiao’s high-profile attitude that always understands the audience is enough to make Lu Xiao very uncomfortable.

Even an ordinary movie fan like him has been indoctrinated by the media’s annual reports about foreign language films applying for Oscars.

The higher the box office, the further the awards.

...There is really no need to cheer for this. A certain "Chinese pride" has time to engage in these in-wall marketing promotions, so it is better to focus on exploring the art of film...]

Haha, these bugs in the sewers have really started to huddle together to keep warm. The blacks have not stopped, but it is just not easy to sing the opposite at this time. Once there is a well-founded objection, they will gather here just like meeting the flag.

.

Everyone knows that the Golden Globe Awards are the benchmark for the Oscars. The media and marketing accounts have also speculated and reported that "Gravity" may also be nominated for the Oscars. However, fans including Lu Xiao are very low-key and even silent.

Not to mention the Oscars.

It has won two box office awards and is simply a successful example of film and television cultural export.

And now, also out of this strange mentality, Lu Xiao did not watch the live video or text live broadcast.

But after all, external things are still needed to decorate and flaunt, otherwise it is not convincing enough. Just like the love sworn by each other, doesn't it also need diamonds to show it at the critical moment? And there is never an authoritative heavyweight award. He will also feel for Chen Jingxing.

Pity.

After he finished posting the "insect beetle" comment, he glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and felt a little uneasy.

The reason is that the program "The Birth of a Director" has been broadcast for three episodes so far. There are really one or two directors who have a very high attitude and are very glass-hearted, and they disdain the judges' comments and the audience's questions.

These days are of course the days for fans like Chen Jingxing to "sing and dance", but that doesn't mean that the opponents will disappear and be convinced by the Golden Globe nomination.

Lu Xiao looked at the time again. Does it take so long to announce the nomination? Why hasn't the news been pushed to the desktop? 360 Guards gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it. Could it be...

Normally, he doesn't care about this at all. Let alone the Oscar announcement of nominations, he only watches the news the day after the Oscars.

Previously, it was because of the main theme movie. Of course, there are some weird people. DreamWorks participated in the production of "Operation Mekong", and also announced the project and is currently filming "Spike II" and "Operation Red Sea", which are all military themes with strong official support.

The main theme of the blockbusters is said to be adapted from the evacuation incident.

Lu Xiao entered this respondent's homepage out of curiosity and saw that he was actually a student in the directing department of the Film Academy.

But in the eyes of many movie fans, artistic youths and some filmmakers in China, this is almost counter-intuitive.

Maybe I am afraid that I will lose if I watch it, or, no, I will fail.

There were 1,802,511 likes and 1,802,511 comments. He knew there was going to be a quarrel without commenting.

Satellites whizzing by, and fragments of the space station being hit and disintegrated are rushing towards us!

Then a barrage of "Best Picture!" filled the screen.

Lu Xiao subconsciously looked at the upper right corner of the screen.

Best Picture

Oscar nomination for Best Picture?!
