Ace Hollywood

Huayi Brothers is definitely not the only company with this plan, but they are all just thinking. Needless to say, in 2006, even ten years later, domestic film companies have felt the pressure of foreign films. A series of local films The high box office of the movie also gave them the motivation to "not think about making progress". The support for the local film industry is a kind of protection, but also a drag. →Chenyuan Literature{]./ /CY.//√●◆Of course, strictly speaking, there is no clear distinction between films. For the market, the box office can be regarded as the only criterion. Since there is money to be made, and there will be no competition in the foreseeable future, it is unrealistic for Chinese film businessmen to have the idea of ​​paring with the Hollywood film industry.

But over the years, Chinese-language films have made some achievements in the three major European competitions, especially this year's Golden Globe Awards, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Kaige, and Li An, can be said to have greatly improved the style of Chinese-language films. All mainland filmmakers and companies will inevitably have a little extra ambition. It should be a way to go to gain the "word of mouth" of actors or works through the frontier of the film industry, that is, the well-known awards in the United States.

In comparison, this seems a little more practical.

Of course, in fact, this is far more difficult than they thought. The 63rd Golden Globe Awards can be said to be the pinnacle of the Chinese-language film awards season in the United States. The reason is probably after the explosive growth of the Chinese market. On the one hand, the level of Chinese films tends to the market with the commercialization. There are very few fat heads and big ears who are willing to go out and fight. In this situation, they will not attempt more things until their realm improves again.

...

Of course, Daniel's team has known about this arrangement for a long time. In fact, there are many things to do in this trip to China, and there is also a lot of work to be done ahead, whether it is in the field of film or business. Or cooperation in the field of charity. Daniel’s various forces are preparing to attack the Chinese market in an all-round way. Although the future is uncertain, they are white-skinned and yellow-hearted. After all, there is an unresolved concern.

After the results of the Golden Globe Awards came out, the turmoil caused in the United States was far greater than that in China across the Pacific.

After a hustle and bustle, all the arguments and topics converged on one point.

At the Oscars in March, will Daniel win his third Best Actor!

The Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are not quite in lockstep. However, the results of the Golden Globes have some kind of corroboration for Oscar, which provides a lot of fantasy space for public opinion.

At this time last year, the "natural" interpretation of Mark Vaughan in "The Social Network" failed to make Daniel the third consecutive nomination winner, but only raised his consecutive nomination record to the third time. Before the Golden Globe Awards, everyone also "taken for granted" that the nomination record would continue to the fourth place. But the time to win the award three times has not yet come.

But now, everything is no longer predictable.

Before Oscar announced its nomination list, the results of the two heavyweight outpost awards, the Directors Guild Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award, were opened.

Daniel Sandler hit both.

"The whole annual awards season is like a well-planned drama. At the beginning, Daniel is not a seed player. There are few harvests. Philip, Heath, Crowe, Jeff, etc. come and go. The competition is fierce. Daniel is like a movie. A small role that was inconspicuous at the beginning. Then time ushered in the Golden Globe Awards. Daniel, who had been silent for a long time, came back from a desperate situation and turned the tables in one fell swoop. The opponent who killed him was stunned and panicked. The awards from the Screen Actors Association and the Screen Actors Guild set off the high atmosphere of Daniel’s counterattack. The momentum is unstoppable, and the next is the final battlefield-the Oscar Awards Ceremony. This drama will be like a traditional movie plot. Dark Horse Achieved a hero, killed the deer, and won a big victory. There is still a special development, Daniel fell on the last stretch of the road. Watching the people he surpassed come to the front again, taking over the glory.

Now even the best Oscar predictors dare not easily predict the ending of this play, and those who believe in O. Henry cannot guarantee that the ending they want to see will come true. After all, it was the first time in a year to win the actor again. For Daniel and Oscar, it was too unbelievable. "

—Chicago Daily Tribune.

As the "Tribune" said, film critics and predictors have become more cautious. The three best actor trophies, the Golden Globe Award, the Directors Guild, and the Screen Actors Union, are enough to muddy the last bit of clarity.

Kent Turan, who is more familiar with Daniel, said on his MB, "The current situation has become unpredictable, but I suggest that the Oscar judges who will vote later respect their own wishes and not be troubled by additional factors. The Oscar should be awarded this year. Best actor, it doesn't matter how many trophies he has won, does it? A professional attitude can solve everything."

It's an argument that doesn't dominate the critics, and has been questioned by skeptics as well as by Daniel's fans and academic believers.

"Of course a professional attitude can solve everything. I agree with Turan's words. However, who can ensure that all Oscar judges can handle their votes with a professional attitude? Bearing a professional appearance is actually a comparison of public relations power, It's not fair to anyone, let alone fix everything."

An MB user named "Ali" replied.

There are not many professional commentators who hold similar views with him.

In the same city as the "Tribune", the more influential film critic Roy Stein of the "Chicago Sun-Times" is more radical. As a colleague of Roger Ebert, he does not have Roger's reputation, so it seems Intend to use a more aggressive attitude to gain attention and create features.

He publicly stated in the "Sun Times", "Don't provide more defenses for Daniel Sandler manipulating the Oscars. If Oscar decides to surrender to Mr. Sandler like the Golden Globes, then I am afraid that in the future, apart from Robert Iger (Disney) ), Jeff Robinoff (Warner Bros.), or at least David Geffen (DreamWorks boss) can compete with Sandler for the Oscar winner! We The Oscars should be rejected without hesitation as a stage of power, which should be truly professional and belong to the stage of acting and film art. I call on Daniel Sandler to give up continuing to participate in these awards. This is for him, for his The company, and the whole of Hollywood, is a good thing."

The Sun-Times was rightfully met with strong flak, and at the same time Roy Stein was getting the attention he wanted.

Despite being surrounded by phrases such as "You should quit writing film reviews, idiot", "Is it fair for you to let Daniel quit. Who did you take money from?" no regrets. He even allowed comments from The Sun Times on his F2F account.

"I know that the entire Internet is full of Daniel's supporters, here. His website is full of crazy Daniel believers. But you must admit that the identity of the boss of MGM and DD Films, for him in the Gaining an undue advantage in competing for the Oscars — even if he hadn’t done more, Oscar judges trying to curry favor with him may have violated their professional conscience. Choosing to vote for him would have been entirely unreasonable to the other finalists. unfair."

The combative Roy manages to push himself to the center of the situation.

Supporters and opponents debated wildly around his remarks, and film critics, media people, and even some actors got involved to express their views.

On March 3, the spokesperson of the Academy, who has always taken an attitude of not responding to the media, announced the nomination list for the 78th Academy Awards in 2006.

Daniel Sandler was undoubtedly nominated for best actor, while Russell Crowe lost his nomination again.

Throughout the list, there are many points worth discussing.

"Brokeback Mountain" became a super hit with 8 nominations, and Heath Ledger was shortlisted for Best Actor. Michelle Williams changed her reporting strategy relative to the Golden Globe Awards, and instead applied for Best Supporting Actress - as a movie about the love of two men, it is not surprising that she chose to apply for a supporting role.

"The Immortal Gardener" was shortlisted for six nominations including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing and Best Picture, following "Brokeback Mountain", which surprised many people. , which added fuel to the heated debate.

Roy did not let go of the opportunity to perform, he said, "Look at the list of Oscar nominations, I promise, you will see Daniel's works every year in the future."

But this time. Almost all the comments ridiculed him, "In the past few years, when he has not become the boss of MGM and DD, has his work not been on the list of Oscar nominations?"

This is indeed a stupid statement.

also. DD Animation's "Wall-E" was shortlisted for the best animated feature film, competing for this award with "Howl's Moving Castle", "Corpse Bride" and "Wallace and Gromit". In terms of performance, evaluation and box office, "Wall-E" beat its opponents by a large margin.

After the list was released, all parties finally responded to the dispute one by one.

The Academy expects the judges to exercise impartial, professional and independent judgment. There will be no interference that everyone worries about.

"The production giants, including MGM and DD Films, release a large number of works every year. If the judges are disturbed by power, it is impossible for the Oscars to persist until today."

Daniel Sandler remained silent on the crew of "Night at the Museum", and Trevor issued a team statement on his behalf.

"Thank you for your attention, Daniel respects the freedom of speech of all people."

The statement is neither salty nor bland, and there is no explosive point.

As for the other movie star nominees, they all hide if they can. If they can't hide, they say some innocuous words. No one dares to show their personality at this time. You must know that the judges have not yet started to select the winners from the nominations. Well, any event may affect the final outcome.

It may be that there are too many fans of Daniel on the social network, Roy Stein had to adjust his tone afterwards, and praised Daniel severely.

"As the winner of three Golden Globes, three Oscars, and the creator of several classic roles, I fully agree with Mr. Daniel's talent and achievements in acting. He is enough to be called a legendary actor. More statuettes are for him Not necessarily, he no longer needs to prove himself through the Oscars. Then why can't he choose to withdraw to reduce the controversy of the Oscars, maintain the authority of Hollywood's highest glory, and provide opportunities for others who need it more?"

...

"Well, a little shameless, don't you think?"

Daniel looked sideways at Cusa, he had just seen Roy's latest remarks. (To be continued.)
