China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 303 There Are Satisfactory Harvests and Bad Harvests

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the New York Film Critics Association Awards began. Jordan Hoffman, chairman of the New York Film Critics Association, gave a lot of opening speeches, roughly speaking about the history and achievements of the New York Film Critics Association, and by the way, praised this shortlist Finally, I would like to congratulate all the nominated filmmakers for winning the award.

Once he finished speaking, the next step was to present the awards.

The first is the Best Documentary Award, and the winner is "The Story We Tell". He Fang has never watched this movie, but from the collection and introduction, it seems to record the changes of a family, through different people's understanding of family history Memories reveal the family's tangled past.

This is a bit... Isn't Europe and the United States encouraging de-familization?Why do white people emphasize the family and control the development of family relations?

It may be that they only emphasize defamilization for the middle and lower classes, including Christianity. What they preach is defamilization and personalization, which is easier to rule.

The second award is the best debut award, and the winner is "Fruitville Station". When the subway came home, he met his inmates in the prison on the subway, and then some things happened, causing the actor to be accidentally killed by the police.

Well, this kind of theme will always be the story of black people being confronted by white police officers.Then preach that black people are treated unfairly.

But in fact, is it so?Let’s not talk about this topic, it takes thousands of words to talk about it clearly.

The third award was the best cinematography award, and the winner was "Drunken Country Ballad", which belongs to the musical film and tells the story of the unremitting struggle of singer Levien Davis during the popular period of American folk songs in the 20s.

Speaking of music movies, to be honest, China lacks such good movies in this regard.

This is really a type of movie worth developing. Chinese music works are not as far behind the world as movies.Because music does not have many technical thresholds like movies, most music works rely on melody and style. Of course, the soundtrack production is also particular, but after all, there are no major obstacles in the technical threshold.

He Fang took out his mobile phone and wrote down the words "music and movie" in his notebook. Later, he had to propose to the company that he could develop this genre.

He remembered that in another time and space, there was a music movie called "Flash Girl", which was very good. Unfortunately, the film studio did not know how to do marketing or name it. The quality of the movie was good, but the box office was not so good.

The fourth award was awarded for Best Screenplay, and this one was "American Hustle". This movie is the most popular movie this year, but the young actress Jennifer Lawrence participated in it.

Speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, she saw He Fang, but she was very angry and didn't go up to say hello to him.

It may be that when He Fang praised Anne Heatherwei, he said that Lawrence was not as beautiful as Anne, which made people hate her.

But it doesn't matter, He Fang has no shortage of actors.

"He, why don't you like Jennifer? Jennifer's fans and friends are all saying that they will boycott your movies in the future." Leonardo asked in a low voice.

"Huh? I don't dislike her. When did I say I don't like her?" He Fang retorted.

"In "X-Men", you brushed her up, and then said in front of the media that she was not as good as Anne, which made her fans and her friends regard you as the villain of the century. Said that you are Jennifer's life Enemy," Leonardo said.

"Hey, the enemy of life? I just said a few truths, and I didn't deliberately target her. I just... Well, do I need to explain what I do? They can think whatever they like, it doesn't matter .”

He Fang spread his hands and didn't want to pay attention.

"Perfect, just so domineering..."

The fifth award was released, and it was awarded the Best Animated Film Award, and the winner was "The Wind Rises". Not to mention, Hayao Miyazaki's film has swept all the international awards this year, regardless of whether he won an award or not. But at least the big and famous film festivals are shortlisted.

Including the main competition unit in Venice, the Toronto Film Festival, and many film critic awards in the United States, there are at least five or six.He Fang remembered that the Golden Globes and Oscars were also shortlisted.

Unfortunately, no prizes were won.

The movie is a good movie, but it has military elements of World War II, so there is no way to give it a big prize.It's a pity that this is the final work of Hayao Miyazaki, but it's a pity that fans who like him did not complete it with a series of awards.

But there is no way, this is reality.

He Fang liked the theme song of "The Wind Rises" very much. The tune gave He Fang a different feeling from the lyrics. The picture of running forward in a place with lush flowers and plants gives people a sense of strength that reveals stubbornness under hardship, and yearns for light in the dark.

Of course, everyone thinks about the picture differently, He Fang thinks like this, he thinks this is very beautiful.

What He Fang likes about this song is sung by Zhou Shen. For a while, He Fang used this song as a phone ringtone. It is very suitable for a person lying on the bedside to listen quietly and carefully. It is very flavorful.

The sixth award is the best foreign language film award, and the winner is "Adele's Life". Everyone knows this film, and it is the winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes this year.

If you haven't seen it, you can watch it, um, I can only say "almost realistic female erotic scenes are really impressive", everyone should understand this, right?Of course, isn't the Cannes Palme d'Or all these years like this?Challenge the bottom line of taking pornography as an art film. It is estimated that in a few years, you can directly win awards with films from the Sacred Valley, Czech Republic, and island countries.

But to be honest, the heroine of the film, Adele Archepoulos, is still a good beauty, with the small face of a southern European woman and the beauty of chisel.

The seventh award is... Best Supporting Actor.

"Ah, this is not...Leto, your prize is here." He Fang smiled softly to Leto.

Jared Leto spread his hands and smiled towards He Fang.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 79th Annual New York Film Critics Association Awards is ... Jared Leto, who almost overshadowed the leading actor in the film "Dallas Buyers Club", and In the body of a man, he vividly interprets the feminine side of a woman..."

The award presenter said a lot, and then everyone applauded, Jared got up and hugged He Fang, and Leonardo, and then walked onto the stage.

Holding the trophy, he is still very happy.

"Thank you, thank you to the judges of the New York Film Critics Association for giving me this award. Thank you. Of course, I have never had the opportunity to tell you in person. I am most grateful to Director He Fang. He gave me the role of Raymond and let me play the role of Raymond." I was able to show my personal acting skills to fans all over the world. Thank you, thank you, director He Fang." Jared Leto raised the trophy and gestured towards He Fang.

He Fang nodded and clapped his hands.

Then the eighth award was awarded for Best Supporting Actress, and the winner was Jennifer Lawrence, everyone applauded, and then Jennifer Lawrence walked onto the stage.

Everyone thought that she would shoot at He Fang, because it was rare that after He Fang taunted Jennifer, the two were in the same public place.Moreover, everyone also saw the hostility in the eyes of Jennifer looking at He Fang before.

It's a pity that Jennifer didn't do this, and fortunately she didn't. Of course, it is also possible that her agent told her not to do that.

After all, He Fang's popularity in Asia is too high. If He Fang is torn apart in public, he may lose the Asian market.Therefore, no matter how big of a grievance she has, she has to smash her teeth and swallow it.

She's the underdog, that's the reality.

He Fang has a chance to win the ninth award, the Best Director Award.

Sure enough, PR was effective, and Jordan Hoffman, the chairman of the association, read He Fang's name.

He Fang remembered that "Dallas Buyers Club" did not win other awards except Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in another time and space, and it probably had a lot to do with the budget of the crew.In another time and space, the producer really scraped together a few million dollars, and then made the movie.

How can there be money for public relations and awards, the best actor and best supporting actor are already very popular.

He Fang came to the stage to receive the trophy and smiled politely at everyone.

"Thank you, thank you New York Film Critics Association, I am very happy to receive this award. I am lucky to be able to direct this film. First of all, I have to thank Mr. Ron Woodruff. It is his deeds that give me the motivation to create.

At the same time, I would also like to thank the two screenwriters, who wrote an excellent script.Of course, thanks to Fox, they reserved the project for 20 years, and then left it to me.I'm not kidding them, I'm telling the truth, thank you Fox.

Of course, I have to thank Leonardo, he has paid a lot for the performance, it takes courage to become thin as a paper man, and he did it.Also, thanks to Jared Leto, he contributed no less than Leonardo's efforts and acting skills, and his dedication made this movie more complete.

There are also Jennifer Garner, Kevin Rankin and other actors and creators, thank them, their contributions make the movie more perfect.Thank you, thank you all. "

He Fang's speech was very short, almost enough.

This kind of small award is not very attractive to He Fang, but if you don't come, you can have no big prize, because these people have a lot of influence in Oscar voting.

The next tenth award is the Best Actress Award. The winner is Cate Blanchett. The award-winning movie is called "Blue Jasmine". Looking at the introduction and highlights of the film, it seems to be about a bankrupt and her husband committing suicide. The story of a lonely celebrity who ran away with his stepson and moved to the San Francisco home of his estranged sister to start life again.

This kind of movies are collectively referred to as stories about life rescue after falling to the bottom. It is indeed very contagious when it is well acted, and audiences also watch this kind of movie.Although everyone knows that it is like chicken soup for the soul, they just like to drink this chicken soup.

The same goes for "When Happiness Comes Knocking", and this "Blue Jasmine" is the female version of "When Happiness Comes Knocking".

In fact, there is a very interesting comparison, that is, the United States controls European film festivals and leads other filmmakers around the world to make dark, extreme, and depressed negative films every day, and then let these films win awards, so that the world Other filmmakers are crazy about it.

Then, in turn, the Americans specialize in making positive, beautiful, rescue series, cool, sweet, shocking, visually impressive, etc. Sunny movies and export them to the world.

What the hell, but who is a movie fan who doesn't want to watch American movies?After watching it, I feel at ease, enjoy the visual experience, and feel full of strength.

Gradually... an invisible cultural propaganda has become a cultural impression that other countries and regions in the world are dark, and only the United States is bright.

After the best actress award, there will be the No. 11 award, the best actor award.

The public relations of "Dallas Buyers Club" are in place. The winner is Leonardo DiCaprio. When he walked on stage, the people present gave him the warmest applause.

He said words of thanks similar to those of Venice, and it was over after saying these words.

The last grand prize was announced, "American Hustle", Jennifer Lawrence played that movie.

After awarding the last award, it was OK to call it a day. This stop was over, and it was not bad. Three important awards were won.

However, they had to go to the [-] p.m. National Board of Review Awards presentation.

Fortunately, they are all in New York, so we can make it in time.

The four outpost awards are presented every year, and the New York Film Critics Association Awards are always the first to be awarded.

The National Board of Review Awards, the national title of the United States, has a larger organization and stronger influence.

It's a pity that "Dallas Buyers Club" did not win the National Board of Review Award. He Fang watched the winners all the way. It seems that none of the awards awarded by the National Board of Review Awards today won an Oscar.

For example, the best film "Her" they awarded did not win the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Another example is "Nebraska", the film that won the best actor in Cannes. After that, it won nothing at the Golden Globes and Oscars, but it won the best actor at the National Review Awards.

Another example is the movie "Big Dreamer", which won the Best Actress at the National Review Awards, but won nothing at the Golden Globes and Oscars.

And the Best Director at the National Review Awards, they went to Spike Jonze, the director of "Her," with no Golden Globes and no Oscars.

Not only did these several important awards fail to win Oscars, but also some other awards did not win.

The result of this kind of betting failure will be very sad, because if you always fail to win the Oscar, then your outpost will lose its authority, and the next time the award-winning movie will avoid you Award PR.

Once the producer's public relations are reduced, the income of this award will drop, and the gold content and authority of the award will become more and more worrying.

Of course, "Dallas Buyers Club" is not indifferent. At least it won the top ten independent film awards in the United States of the year, and received the award together with ten films.

Fortunately, Du Chunsheng came with him, and He Fang asked him to go up to receive the award.He Fang would feel ashamed if he asked He Fang to go up to receive this award.

In the evening, everyone participated in the official party held by the National Review Awards.

He Fang met a lot of new filmmakers, including the crew of "The Grandmaster" from China. Yes, "The Grandmaster" won the five best foreign language film awards of the year.

It's really tasteless. It was originally a tasteless award, but it turned out to be a tasteless award.

"Director He, I didn't expect to see you in America." Zhang Ziyi smiled enthusiastically, and He Fang nodded politely.

"Yeah, it's a coincidence."
