my movie years

Chapter 393

At this time, the attention of the European and American media was attracted by the No. 90 Oscar nomination list.

The nomination list is not unusual. After all, the Oscars have a nomination list every year. What really attracts attention are the several films on the nomination list.

As we all know, the Oscars have always discriminated against superhero movies. The last rotating president of the Academy even publicly declared that superheroes are not movies, but a funny clown comedy.

An excellent, ceiling-level movie like "The Dark Knight" only won a few technical awards at the Oscars, plus a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Heath Ledger.

It can be seen that Oscar’s prejudice against superhero movies is not as deep as usual.

But this year, the situation has changed. Amid the Black Lives Matter wave, "Black Panther" was actually nominated for Best Picture.

At the 91st Oscars, it was the first time in so many years that a superhero movie was nominated for Best Picture.Not only that, this is also the first film in film history to feature an all-black cast and be nominated for an Oscar.

When the nomination list came out, the public was in an uproar.

Frankly speaking, "Black Panther" is actually a superhero movie of good quality and a qualified commercial film.But the problem is, there are still many films of this quality.

Not to mention anything else, the quality of "Avengers: Infinity War" and that man's "The Dark Knight Rises" from the same genre are a notch better than "Black Panther".

If "Black Panther" can be nominated for best picture, then "Avengers: Endgame" and "The Dark Knight Rises" can too.

In fact, both films only had some technical award nominations.

Seeing this list of nominations, Zhang Hao said to Da Mi Mi very predictably: "Just watch, Magic Hollywood is about to begin, and this is also our opportunity."

I don't know why the "Black Panther" nomination is an opportunity.

Of course, Zhang Hao couldn't tell the inside story. After all, no one else had seen the historical trajectory he had seen.

It is worth mentioning that because most of the production team of "The Dark Knight Rises" are Chinese, there are many more Chinese names on the nomination list.

For example, Zhang Hao was nominated for Best Editing, Su Tong and Serena were nominated for Best Art Direction, John and Lu Jianqiu were nominated for Best Cinematography, and Tiangong Yicai and Moon Palace were nominated for Best Visual Effects.

In addition, there are also Best Sound Effects, Best Costume Design, etc., and "The Dark Knight Rises" was nominated.

There were numerous nominations for technical awards, but there were no nominations for mainstream awards.

However, after the nomination list was announced, it did not affect the domestic media's praise of it, saying that "The Dark Knight Rises" is proof of the progress of the Chinese film industry.

This is true, after all, only if you do well will people give you a nomination.

There is no technical award for Best Picture, or there are political considerations for the leading actors and actresses, so it will be relatively fair.

Although Zhang Hao only had one nomination for Best Editing, he still accepted the invitation to attend the Oscars next February with Da Mi Mi.

According to the arrangement, he and Da Mi Mi may also give awards to others.

But it was still early. After the Golden Melody Awards, Zhang Hao handed "The Fault in Our Stars" to his sister Zifeng while going to Capital University to exchange views with Kip Thorne, who was already teaching.

The communication mode between the two is very simple. Kip Thorne has already read Zhang Hao's Cornfield script and praised it full of praise.

So Zhang Hao asked him to follow the script and deduce its scientific rationality.

Therefore, in the small villa and office of Kip Thorne of Beijing University, visiting professors and doctoral students can often see such a scene.

Zhang Hao was holding the tea cup, and Kip Thorne was holding the coffee. The two talked loudly and communicated with great interest.

The communication was about the cutting-edge subject of astrophysics, using various words such as gravitational waves, black hole singularities, Einstein's theory of relativity, wormholes, five-dimensional space, etc.Kip Thorne is a great professor and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and he has no problem talking about this stuff.

But Zhang Hao is a director. Does the director also understand physics?When did physics become so simple?

According to a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics, he went to ask Kip Thorne for advice, and when he went in, he heard that Zhang Hao and Kip Thorne were actually drawing black holes.

He said that at that moment, he felt that physics no longer existed and that learning was meaningless.

In fact, the scientific community is currently only guessing what a black hole looks like, and no one has ever seen what a black hole looks like.

The first observable photo of a black hole, I don’t know when it will be released.

This matter was quickly posted on the Internet, causing discussion among netizens. After all, a movie producer and a person who is a film maker seem to have nothing to do with each other.

Netizens joked that Zhang Hao changed his major to physics so that he could go to space and shoot movies.

Of course, this is just a joke, but it reminds people of the purpose of Kip Thorne’s exchange in China a few months ago.

He said that he came to China for a one-year exchange at the invitation of Zhang Hao.

The main purpose is that both the professor and Zhang Hao have a good idea, which is to shoot a film about black holes.

I’ve talked about black hole movies before, there are a few good ones, but those were all from the last century.

There are no good space movies in recent years, except for Zhang Hao's "Gravity" and "The Martian".

The market is basically monopolized by superhero movies, and it is almost impossible to see a pure science fiction film.

Therefore, this collaboration between Kip Thorne and Zhang Hao is quite eye-catching. It looks like they are planning to make a big move.

The discussion on the Internet has become so hot that Tianpower Film and Television officially did not hide it and announced the name of the film starring Zhang Hao and Kip Thorne, as well as the first concept stills.

A large black circle with a dark center, and the light is pulled by the gravity of the large circle and surrounds the large circle. This is a black hole.

At the edge of the black hole, you can only see a man-made aircraft flying around the black hole if you zoom in.

The entire concept poster was created by Kip Thorne describing the basic appearance of a black hole, hand-drawn by Zhang Hao, and then drawn on a computer by a talented engineer.

It can be said that this concept draft is Kip Thorne's imagination of what a black hole looks like. It is also the clearest picture of what a black hole looks like so far.

Why should this photo be released first? Of course it is to gain a head start. After all, the real black hole photo will be released in April next year.

When the real black hole photos are released, everyone will be surprised when they look at this concept poster.

It turns out that a few months ago, someone made an extremely accurate prediction of what a black hole would look like. It’s so amazing. Is this physics?

In fact, Zhang Hao hopes to announce it later. It is best to wait until the movie is released the year after tomorrow, which will be more shocking.

However, science is not dependent on human will.

Even aliens have their own science.

　Yesterday, one chapter was harmonized. In fact, the other chapter was written even more excessively, and I was almost scolded. But when it comes to reviewing, sometimes I really don’t understand it...
