Chapter 483 Who said that literary movies must be cold and aloof?
"Great news! "The Truman Show" won the Oscar for Best Picture!"
"The Truman Show directed by the famous Chinese director Li Yi won the Oscar for Best Picture. This is the first time a Chinese director has won the award!"
"Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, Best Picture, "The Truman Show" became the biggest Oscar winner!"
The Oscars are over, and the awarding of the awards is full of drama, but for the domestic media, it is not the focus.
The point is, "The Truman Show" scored three out of eight, although it missed out on Best Original Screenplay and Best Director.
But it won the best picture with the most weight.
The key is that any of these three awards is a breakthrough for Chinese films.
If before this, Li Yi was said to be the number one person in Chinese films, many people would still say that Li Yi is far from being comparable to those veteran directors in terms of awards and international influence.
But now, fans of Director Gou can justly say, who else?
Although he didn't win the best director, the best picture carries more weight!
"Awesome! Awesome!"
"The Oscars really know how to play. Domestic film awards should really learn from others!"
"Haha, it's just an old beauty award, what's there to brag about?"
“There are gangsters everywhere!”
"Director Dog is awesome and won't accept refutation!"
Li Yi can be said to be an outlier among domestic directors. His films are among the very few domestic films that are accepted by the public, and now he has won an award!
With his extremely high reputation and official recognition, many people already know that Li Yi is already one of the leading directors in China...
Except for his lack of qualifications, he is not lacking in anything else...
Oscar, no matter what you say, the fact is that in terms of influence, it is definitely ranked before the three major ones in Europe.
The key is that this is an award that has never been won by a Chinese film.
The key is that this time, Li Yi not only won three awards for "The Truman Show", but one of them was Best Picture.
In addition, "WALL-E" received all nominations and even won the Best Animated Feature Film award.
Therefore, the domestic media are naturally like chicken blood.
Several major portal websites directly put the news on the front page.
Penguin even directly advertised it through a pop-up window!
And what's interesting is that for many domestic audiences who have won awards in the past, they only know the name of the movie and the actual content. To be honest, not many people really know it.
Because art is a minority.
Therefore, some literary film directors often claim that if the audience cannot understand it, then that is the audience’s problem, not their own.
But this time it's different.
It's true that "The Truman Show" is a literary film, but who the hell says that literary films must be aloof?
Does it have to be unacceptable to the public?
Does it have to be niche?
The box office reputation of "The Truman Show" is enough to put those commercial blockbusters to shame, not to mention that it has now won the Oscar for Best Picture.
In the past, not to mention the top three in Europe, even the Oscars, in fact, many of the best films, domestic audiences may not have even heard of them, let alone seen them.
But this year, "The Truman Show" is a truly well-known movie.
This has also made many domestic directors who flaunt their art quite embarrassed, because their previous remarks were directly slapped in the face by "The Truman Show" at this moment.
This movie proves that literary and artistic films can also be enjoyed by the public!
And, in fact, "The Truman Show" has already entered the main competition section of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
In addition, it won the Oscar for Best Picture. It can be said that maybe it may not win the Palme d'Or, but at least it will definitely not go away empty-handed.
Of course, this news has not spread yet.
However, that's basically it.
Moreover, Albert Frey has always maintained contact with Li Yi.
When I learned that Li Yi was going to film "Su Yuan", I even tried my best to invite Li Yi. If I could make it, I could go to Cannes with "Su Yuan".
Of course, the focus must still be on the movie "The Truman Show".
However, Li Yi did not agree because this year's Cannes Film Festival will be held in May.
There are only three months left from now, which is too short.
Li Yi couldn't guarantee whether "Su Yuan" could catch up.
If he could make it in time, he would be willing to take him there. After all, at least he could take the opportunity to promote it.
A movie like "Sowon" is actually not suitable for marketing.
At best, it's just a conventional publicity model, and to be honest, Li Yi doesn't have much hope for this movie at the box office.
Because this is not a type of movie that everyone likes to see.
There are only a few realistic-themed movies like "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Although Li Yi's idea is to shoot a movie like "Su Yuan" in a warm and healing direction, after all, the theme is still too depressing.
Although he won the award, Li Yi did not stay in North America for long.
Soon he returned home with the rest of the crew.
At the exit of Beijing International Airport, a bunch of guns and cannons have long been blocked here, waiting for the main character to appear.
From a distance, I saw Chen Wen, Li Yi and others surrounded by a group of people.
"Come out, hurry up!"
A sharp-eyed reporter yelled and then a group of people rushed over...
Returning with a great reputation, this time it is truly worthy of the name.
Li Yi and a large group of people went to North America to attend the Academy Awards.
As a result, none of the animated films failed to win, and they won 100% of the awards. They even beat the works of top Hollywood animation companies to win the Best Animated Feature Film.
And Li Yi is even more awesome.
"The Truman Show" won the most important Oscar award, the Best Picture Award.
The key is that these are all firsts and zero breakthroughs.
The headlines in the domestic news these days are almost all dominated by news about "The Truman Show" and "WALL-E" winning awards.
It’s not that we worship foreigners, but that China started much later than other countries in the film industry.
While Hollywood movies are conquering the world, Chinese movies are still in the ascendant.
Now that China's film market is on the rise, people are becoming more and more confident, but they still yearn for recognition from the outside world.
"Chen asked, as the first actor to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, what do you want to say?"
"Mr. Zhang, "Wall-E" won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film..."
"Director Li, "The Truman Show"..."
For a moment, every media reporter wanted to put a microphone into Li Yi's mouth.
I can't help it, it's too hot!
Maybe some trolls will say that "The Truman Show" is a co-production, but strictly speaking it cannot be considered a domestic film, right?
But everyone knows that although "The Truman Show" is a co-production, it is really different from the so-called co-productions in the past.
In this movie, it can be said that except for the investment and some supporting actors, almost everyone else is an all-Chinese cast!
It’s a movie controlled by Li Yi, so there’s really no problem saying it’s a domestic movie!
