Chapter 428: Movie Frenzy, Olympic Award Storm (Part 2)

Generally speaking, authoritative awards need to choose their own innovative ideas and try to ensure that the results can have unexpected results. The popular movies that everyone is looking for are completely upset at the end and are often seen in major award ceremony.```23wx`

The setting and ruling of movie awards cannot be ruled out subjectivity, which is why people always complain that "box office and trophy are inversely proportional".

Only by not following the trend can you show your unique and independent taste.

Despite this, the judges don’t mind occasionally following the public opinion for some phenomenal films that “all people say it’s okay”. After all, blindly making innovative and unconventional will arouse the audience’s rebellious mentality. If you lose the ratings, it will be more cost-effective. And usually someone will stand up and sing, such as “Don’t be stupid, the more we support the film, the less they will not be able to choose”. As a result, they were slapped in the face by the judges.

"Following public opinion" is sometimes a means of expressing justice, which is equivalent to telling everyone that our awards will neither follow the crowd nor deliberately be independent, but are truly fair.

"Forrest Gump" obviously has this kind of qualities. Even the advocates of avant-garde culture have to admit that this is a typical American-style positive energy work that can make people cry and laugh.

The movie's word of mouth floats around the world like a dandelion through the Internet world, causing various reactions. Except for some insiders, more and more people are starting to worry about Liu Jingting or waiting to see his good show.

As for those insiders, the reaction was even stronger. Even though they made a judgment on the movie in advance and knew that it was a film that could have a certain impact, when things really happened and praise became more and more, the experience was completely different.

"He actually did it!"

Even if you have such predictions in your mind in advance, you will still be such amazement afterwards.

"I wonder what will happen to those who use Forrest Gump to question Liu after knowing the truth?"

When film producer Ross chatted with Frank, a senior film agent in WB company who was in charge of contacting Liu Jingting, in private. When talking about this question, Frank smiled and shook his head, not answering for a long time.

"I really want to know the details now. I think I can write them in my memoirs in the future." Rose looked at Robert with a long-term look on his face.

With the proud Robert finally opened his mouth: "Confidence, decisiveness, clarity, calmness, courage, you can use these words at will."

"Details, details." Rose interrupted quickly, "Robert, you are also a movie, you should know the charm of the narrative in the details."

"Which time are you referring to?"

“Every time.”

Robert laughed and said, "There is actually no details to talk about. When he came to me with the script, he only said to me, 'Hi Mr. Robert, I have two Oscars and best film scripts here, are you interested?' Then I answered yes."

Ross clapped his hands and said, "That's it!"

Americans especially like this moment of his creation. When Jobs met with Scully, his words "Do you want to be a sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come and change the world with me?" are widely circulated. This is a classic anecdote that has become a business celebrity.

"Don't worry, there are two more movies."

...

Not everyone is the same as Robert. Knowing all the contents of Liu Jingting’s arrangement this time, everyone is waiting for now, "The Shawshank Redemption".

However, before the release of "Shawshank" on October 10, WB's other blockbuster movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" almost succeeded "Forrest Gump", which cost 580 million US dollars in North America, and was released simultaneously in North America on October 3 in Greater China.

"This is a real movie about 'Chinese Kung Fu'!"

I cannot use Liu Jingting as an advertisement, so I have to bring out the most mysterious "Chinese Kung Fu" from the ancient East as a gimmick in the eyes of the people of the world.

Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", no movie in China was truly released across the United States, and in fact, there was no movie after this movie.

In order to open up and expand the Chinese film market, Hollywood began to frequently add so-called "Chinese elements" to the movies, and nothing else seems to have really touched Hollywood except for "kung fu".

The full release of "Crouching Tiger" in the United States is due to WB's participation in production, and on the other hand, to Li Qing'an, who has played a sign in Hollywood.

Facts have proved that the movie is really good. Although American audiences who enter the theater with curiosity may not fully understand the Chinese subtlety and deepness displayed in the movie, they are indeed attracted by those dazzling and beautiful martial arts scenes.

Not to mention American audiences, for any Chinese audience who loves martial arts action movies, the martial arts design of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", especially the bamboo forest battle between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong, is also amazing.

In fact, Li Mubai's role was originally tailored for the "Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li. Later, Jet Li accompanied his wife to wait for childbirth, but unfortunately missed it, so he invited Chow Yun-fat.

In any case, the elegant and gentle Chinese light skills brought a completely novel viewing experience to American audiences who were used to seeing heroes of genetic mutation. They were surprised that it turned out that a person could practice flying around the eaves and walls without injection, mutation, or technology, and his own body. This method of extending personal power made them feel very new.

Moreover, in addition to the refreshing "Chinese Kung Fu", the discussion on "original heart" in the movie has also attracted the attention of a large number of American audiences who love to think.

Taking the Battle of Bamboo Forest as an example, Yu Jiaolong is flamboyant and fierce, willful and outgoing, Li Mubai is implicit and restrained, and suppresses deeply. This competition is not a simple martial arts competition, but also a head-on collision between the two people's two concepts.

Yu Jiaolong asked an old-school gangster like Li Mubai how to see his true heart. In fact, this line was also asked by the director of the character.

Almost all the movies of Ang Lee discuss the theme of "sex. repression". In the movie "Wedding Banquet", he himself made a guest appearance and said in person the sentence "What you see is the result of sexual repression for five thousand years."

The feelings between Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, and even him and Yu Jiaolong can also be condensed into the two words "depression", the confrontation between ** and reason, love and morality.

When the first batch of film reviews appeared, everyone really focused on the relationship between Li, Yu and Yu, especially American film critics, who directly designated them as the three parties in love triangles and conducted an in-depth analysis of Li Mubai's inner world.

Yu Xiulian's love is not due to morality. To take Yu Jiaolong as her disciple is an exterior of subconscious possessiveness, etc.

The more diverse theories are, the more in-depth the discussion is, the more it can prove the tenacity of the film's carrying capacity. The original work is a masterpiece, and the story of the film is indeed solid and can withstand analysis.

In short, for American audiences, this is also a good movie for both the elite and the masses, and it may also be another challenge that Liu Jingting has to face.
