Chapter 882 Strengths and Weaknesses are both relative, what we see is the ability to reverse black
"Don't tell me, if "The Pursuit of Happiness" didn't win Best Picture at the Oscars, but it did win it at the Cannes Film Festival, that would be really interesting~"
"Haha, it does have a comedic effect, it's really a bit embarrassing..."
"The Oscars are more well-known in the eyes of the general public, but in terms of professionalism, they are better than the top three in Europe. If this happens, the Oscars will indeed be embarrassed and it will be the ultimate slap in the face."
Some netizens did not mind the excitement and discussed this extremely ironic situation, and since they are all Chinese, they also looked forward to seeing this happen.
"I have a question. The three major European film festivals have a rigid standard, which is that it can only be premiered in the region. It must be shown to the world for the first time at the film festival. This is the qualification for an entry. "When Happiness"
"Knock on the Door" obviously does not comply with this rule?"
Some people questioned and raised questions.
"It seems like this. I took a look at the entry criteria for the three major European film festivals. There is indeed this one. All three are the same. It must have its world premiere at the film festival. This is to prevent a film from participating in different film festivals multiple times.
For film festivals, because the three major European film festivals are held on different dates, some people have done this before, and this rule was added later.”
After popular science, ordinary netizens know the reason.
According to this theory, "The Pursuit of Happiness" is indeed not a shortlisted work. After all, it premiered in the United States and China at the same time, spanning two regions!
It is understandable to participate in the Oscars, because if it premieres in this region, it will definitely be eligible to be selected for the film festival in that region. This does not conflict with it. After all, it has been screened in this region, and the film festival is only for this region.
The main reason is that it cannot participate in film festivals outside the region, because it will be screened at the film festival, which is equivalent to completing the world premiere, and naturally it is not eligible to be shortlisted for the top three in Europe.
"The Pursuit of Happiness" has been nominated for Oscars, but it also premiered in the United States and was produced in the United States, so it fully complies with the regulations.
The main point of dispute is whether the simultaneous premiere in China counts as a world release.
Not to mention that netizens didn’t understand, even Lu Fang was a little surprised.
When Chen Mubai asked him to submit "The Pursuit of Happiness" to the Cannes Film Festival, he didn't expect it to be successful, which gave him some associations.
"Why can we be shortlisted for Cannes?"
Tao Yaoyao has been studying the script during this period, and took advantage of her break to go on a date with Chen Mubai.
Things happened to be getting more and more intense online about the Cannes Film Festival, and she didn't understand why she was shortlisted.
Chen Mubai saw Tao Yaoyao's bright big eyes looking at him curiously, and said with a smile: "I just gave it a try. I didn't expect it to succeed, but it succeeded, which verified my guess."
Tao Yaoyao became more and more confused.
"Normally, we are not qualified to be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but this work is quite special, and I was treated unfairly this time and fought back. What I represent is not just me, but everyone who is the same as me.
People in this situation, all practitioners don’t want the film festival to get darker.”
"Although there is no absolute fairness, there must be relative fairness. This is also the reason why the film festival can be held for a long time without declining. Moreover, the three major European films are not as well-known as the Oscars. This is an operational issue. They do not want the public to become more and more popular.
The more you forget them and think Oscar is better."
"The judges of all film festivals are nothing more than people from the film and television industry from all over the world. They have connections in all countries. China will definitely support me. The government must also have played a role in promoting this matter, plus the three
The university itself does not want its influence to get worse, so this time it is just a good opportunity to suppress the Oscars and curb their momentum."
"Once I really win the award, it will indeed be the best humiliation for the Oscars. It will also make the Oscars negative, which will be good for them."
After Chen Mubai analyzed everything, Tao Yaoyao finally understood the cause of the matter.
"No wonder it's like this!" she sighed.
Chen Mubai said with a smile: "So I say you are lucky, so I will give it a try. I will treat a dead horse as a live doctor, and there will be no loss anyway."
This is a game at the capital level. There is also competition between any film festivals. Otherwise, why would the three major film festivals not be able to participate in the other as long as their works premiere at the festival?
In essence, I still hope that the work will be chosen to participate in one of them to prove that its appeal and influence are stronger than other film festivals!
This is potential competition!
Film festivals all hope to become more famous, more famous and more professional.
Compared with the Oscars, the three major aspects are better. After all, the core focus of the works is different, and the entries can be selected based on their own characteristics.
The Oscars have become too popular in recent years, which is inseparable from the strong national power of the United States. The historical background is not as good as the three major ones, but it surpasses them in terms of influence. As a long-established and powerful film festival, it is natural that it is stuffy.
This time is an excellent opportunity and a chance for them to make a comeback.
Coupled with China's push from behind, the judges were already dissatisfied with Oscar, and coupled with the wandering relationship, they naturally accepted "The Pursuit of Happiness."
Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up: "Now that I say that, the judges at the Cannes Film Festival will definitely recommend your work. This will have a greater impact on the Oscars. If you can win the Best Picture (Palme d'Or), it will be amazing."
It’s a public execution of it!”
Speaking of this, Tao Yaoyao became more and more excited. For the first time, she felt that an award was so close to them, especially the Cannes Film Festival, one of the world's three major European film festivals!
You know, Chen Mubai has made countless good films since his debut, but only one "Buried Alive" came out, in which he actually performed the whole process alone in a coffin, and thus won the Venice Golden Lion Award!
That movie was indeed excellent, but not nearly that great.
If it weren't for the novelty of one person's performance in a movie, it would have been difficult to win the Golden Lion.
In addition to the quality and core of the story and the acting skills of the actors, an indispensable aspect of the award selection is the surprise brought to the judges.
"Buried Alive" gave the judges too many surprises. They had never seen one person complete a movie, so it conquered the hearts of many judges.
If there had been a work of this type before, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to win the Golden Lion given the quality of "Buried Alive".
It can be said that the award-winning "Buried Alive" largely relies on the creation of a "genre"!
It can be regarded as a pioneering work and has a high artistic content.
Chen Mubai shook his head and said: "That's not the case. If Cannes really did this, then they would no longer be the world's top film festival."
"This kind of film festival has its own pride and will not put down its stature to cater to the audience. Otherwise, they can also be like the Oscars. What they want to create is a unique stature. The Oscars will also consider commercial aspects. The three European
They are all in line with literature and art, which is why in the film and television industry, the three major awards are more valuable than the Oscars, and the Oscars are just more famous among ordinary people."
"For them, letting my work be shortlisted is just a blow to the Oscars. As for whether I can get the work, it depends on the quality of the work, but we do have an advantage."
In terms of selection, it still depends on the authenticity of the work.
It does not mean that Chen Mubai will win the award if he is shortlisted, it just means that he will be given a chance.
However, in terms of works, if the relationship between competitors is not so strong and the quality of the works is similar, "The Pursuit of Happiness" will be more favored.
In essence, there is no absolute fairness. Everyone is related, so rely on hard power. If the quality of the works is about the same, then it depends on the background!
Tao Yaoyao is very optimistic: "Anyway, compared to the first time we participated in the Venice Film Festival, our chances of winning this time are still greater. The fact that this film also won many awards at the Oscars proves it, and this film
The movie's box office performance was very high, and it aroused a heated discussion at the beginning, which is an impact that cannot be ignored."
In "The Pursuit of Happyness", Tao Yaoyao also played a cameo role, so she was very happy and honored that her work could win an award.
This time, Chen Mubai agreed with Tao Yaoyao, and it was true.
"The opening of the film festival will be in a few days. Please accompany me then." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaoyao's beautiful big eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "If I don't go, I want to learn etiquette and prepare for "Titanic"!"
Chen Mubai was a little surprised to be rejected and didn't understand why Tao Yaoyao didn't agree.
Although she has been studying etiquette and studying scripts, it has been so long that she doesn't care if she loses two days.
He looked at Tao Yaoyao blankly and found that she was looking at him narrowly.
Acting coquettishly?...Chen Mubai understood Tao Yaoyao's meaning.
So he resorted to tricks and deliberately pretended to be in trouble and said: "Okay..."
"I almost forgot about this. It is true that "Titanic" is more important. We have to make full preparations for this movie, so I can only find other actresses to walk on the red carpet."
Tao Yaoyao's narrow smile froze on her face, and Chen Mubai hadn't finished speaking yet:
"I don't know who I'm looking for this time. Several new actresses in China have contacted me a long time ago to attend the Cannes Film Festival. There are also two actresses who will also attend this time. Foreign supermodels and world-famous actresses are all here.
I have been invited, but I don’t know who to choose..."
Chen Mubai deliberately spoke softly, as if he was mumbling to himself, but the volume was actually just loud enough for Tao Yaoyao to hear.
Tao Yaoyao's smile has disappeared, her pink fists are clenched, her silver teeth are clenched, her eyebrows are straight, and her eyes seem to be spitting fire.
"You are not allowed to approach those people!" Tao Yaoyao snorted angrily.
"I just suddenly remembered that the etiquette teacher has something to do at home, and he is on vacation for a few days, so I have time to accompany you."
These people must not be allowed to get close to him and not give him any chance to cheat... Tao Yaoyao thought.
In fact, she was very relieved about Chen Mubai, but she also knew that her boyfriend's destructive power against women was too great.
No one can resist Chen Mubai's charm, Tao Yaoyao believed.
He is young and handsome, has many talents and riches, has a good personality, and is good at both writing and dancing. Such a talented person is so eye-catching!
He is like the moon in the dark night, emitting dazzling light wherever he goes, while women are like stars, attracted to him no matter where they are.
"Haha!" Chen Mubai looked up to the sky and laughed.
"I was teasing you on purpose, why would I be with someone else."
Tao Yaoyao angrily shook her fists and said without any sign of weakness: "You will bully me!"
"How could I bear to bully you? It's too late for me to love you, silly girl."
As he spoke, Chen Mubai opened Tao Yaoyao's fist with a doting look on his face, then put one hand around her neck and brought her little head close to his arms, and the two embraced each other like this.
"Of course I know you are teasing me on purpose, I just like the feeling of you caring and caring for me like this!"
Tao Yaoyao lay in Chen Mubai's arms, her beautiful big eyes bent into the shape of small crescents, thinking happily.
...
AMC.
Trilis was helpless, but also very angry.
He was incompetently furious: "Things finally went down, but the Cannes Film Festival suddenly caused public opinion to come back!"
"Things have already happened. It's useless to dwell on it. Think of a plan to deal with it." Caitlin was very calm.
"What Cannes did is nothing more than a slap in the face to the Oscars. In recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world, and the influence of the Oscars has increased a lot. It has affected the status of the three major companies. It seems that they are also panicked."
"But this is also a good thing. Although this incident is a blow to Oscar, it may not be an opportunity."
Trilis was stunned when he heard this: "How do you say that?"
Caitlin looked calmly and lightly opened her red lips: "If "The Pursuit of Happiness" really won the Palme d'Or, then it did not win the highest award at the Oscar Film Festival. This is a sharp contrast, although it will
It is an embarrassment to the Oscars, but it is also an opportunity for the Oscars to prove that it is better than the Cannes Film Festival."
"A film that missed the highest honor at the Oscars won the highest award at Cannes. This does not mean that the quality of the films at the Oscars Film Festival is higher, so the quality and influence of the Oscars are higher than those at the Cannes Film Festival. The so-called stakes
It's all relative, it just depends on how we operate."
"This..." Trilis was speechless. Although what he said made some sense, it was actually sophistry.
After all, it is recognized that the quality of "War" is not as good as "The Pursuit of Happyness". According to Caitlin, it is just telling lies with open eyes and confusing right and wrong.
Caitlin glanced at Trilis's face and guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "Any film festival will have many such controversial awards. In addition to the works, the backgrounds of the parties are also a little bit.
But as time goes by, those controversies will disappear, and the public will no longer remember these things. They will only know that the xx work won the award in xx. Time will smooth everything out and make those voices disappear."
In the history of film, there are many films that have won awards but have been inferior to films that have not won awards, so ratings are not the only criterion for judging.
Just like an excellent movie, some people love it and some people hate it. This is also the result of aesthetic differences. In the eyes of different people, the ratings are also different.
Although, in the short term, Oscar will inevitably have criticism on this matter, it will eventually fade away over time.
"Go and negotiate with them and prepare two more plans. This is a long-term war." Caitlin ordered.
"yes."
Trillis is going to meet with several other capitals to discuss this matter, and Oscar will also be involved.
Following Caitlin's approach may be the best solution.
After Trilis connected with everyone, he relayed Caitlin's words, and everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees.
The Oscar judges all showed expressions of surprise, it is indeed a feasible plan!
Turning black into white requires investing a lot of manpower and material resources, which on the Internet is money.
This kind of thing is indeed relative. Seeing who spends more money can drive more rhythm. As long as it can cause controversy, it will not be finalized.
If Chen Mubai really wins the award and public opinion is overwhelming, and everyone thinks that "The Pursuit of Happiness" did not win the Best Picture at the Oscars but did win it at Cannes, and that the Cannes Film Festival is better and more authoritative, then it will really be true.
There's no way to make a comeback.
But once the rhythm is reversed, the quality of the Oscars is higher than that of Cannes, so if the same movie wins awards at different film festivals, Cannes will also be embarrassed.
As long as there is controversy, there will be people who agree with one of the voices.
Well, this is also about patriotism. At least as an American, we must support the Oscar Film Festival to be of higher quality and more authoritative. After all, this is our country’s film festival. Everyone wants their country to be strong, and everything about their country
are better than others.
This is their plan to incite the emotions of netizens when the time comes.
"Waiting for the result, we still don't know who will win this time!"
"That's right, let's have a fight."
"Haha, I'm afraid I'll shoot myself in the foot at the Cannes Film Festival."
With the solution, everyone's mood improved and they were no longer as heavy as before.
...
The Cannes Film Festival is getting very hot, but everyone’s attention is focused on the day when the festival starts, so the discussion is only temporary.
At the same time, "Saw 2" is released!
Thanks to the high praise and reputation of the first part, the popularity of the second part was not low before its release.
Although it is a low-budget horror movie, it is very popular. Coupled with the promotion of the promotional video and the recent popularity of Mubai Entertainment, the influence of the movie has also been amplified.
The pre-sale box office of this movie has exceeded 100 million!
Many people are shouting: Support Chen Mubai and support Hua Xia’s works!
Although this movie is not directed or starred by Chen Mubai, the script is his and it is produced by Mubai Entertainment. It is right to support it!
Some people don't watch horror movies very much, but because of this incident, everyone bought a movie ticket to support Chen Mubai and wanted to give some support.
Everyone is using their own ways to support Chen Mubai, and this is the most direct and effective way.
