The Disaster Artist

The list of nominations for the 89th Golden Book Awards has been fully announced—

"City of Falling Stars", 15 nominations, was born out of nowhere, taking the lead with an absolutely powerful and domineering attitude, leading a group of strong competitors.

So, what's beyond that?

"Arrival", including Best Picture and Best Director, received a total of eight nominations in the end, followed closely, but the gap can be seen from the numerical level. Although the momentum is chasing, but on the technical level, this The film still hasn't reached its peak, and the number of nominations has only broken down.

"Phantom of Clothes", "Moonlight", and "Billboard" all have seven nominations. Although the number is not large, they all cover the main departments. Except for the best picture, they each have their own strengths. Leveraging an award may completely overturn the whole situation.

"The Post", "Seaside Town", "Miss Nightingale", and "Hell or High Water" are all four nominations, maybe the number is limited, but they are all concentrated in important departments, and almost every work has a strong point, currently in It is also not to be underestimated that it is in a slightly leading position in the competition.

The above-mentioned nine works are all nominees for best picture. After the Golden Sparrow Awards ended, they jointly formed the first group of this year's awards season; The advantage is basically determined, and it has not been left behind.

Not surprisingly, the Golden Book Awards ceremony should be a melee of these nine works, and the next second stage will also focus on them; but there are a total of ten best picture nominations, and there is another "Blood Battle Cloud" Ridge" momentum gradually weakened, but it was not without gains.

The two works "Blood War" and "Darkest Hour" unexpectedly broke out together. Relying on the outstanding performance of the technical department, the final number of nominations was fixed at five, even more than the batch of works headed by "The Post" Perhaps the ability of the two works to hit important awards is relatively weak, but they may not be without strength in the technical department, which will also become another variable for the awards ceremony.

In addition, it is very worth mentioning that "Raid 2" also received four nominations.

Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects.

All are awards in the technical department, but as a retro action movie, "Raid 2" was able to kill a **** way in such a special awards season this year. This is a sign that the film's excellent technical capabilities have been recognized. The works released in the last file have not been forgotten.

Moreover, the movie is a big hit in the four technical departments, and it may even be able to win the Golden Book Awards.

The only pity is that the Golden Book Award does not have the best martial arts director award, otherwise "Raid 2" and "Deadpool" should be able to compete well.

After the nomination list for the Golden Book Awards was released, we can also see some clues about the pattern of the awards season—

It’s not surprising that Fantastic Pictures has no results, because they have all their chips on “Cheetah” this year, and it’s not surprising that they missed the nomination in the end. It just caused Fantastic Pictures to encounter a setback in the overall layout of superhero movies , they need to think long-term next.

The entire army of Webster Brothers Films was wiped out, but it was not unexpected. Rather than saying that Wei Zhen misjudged the situation and made a mistake, it is better to say that Vanity Fair teamed up to cut off Wei Zhen's livelihood. So they jumped at the chance, it was as simple as that.

Of course, the strong rise of Lion Films, the maturity of Seven Seas Media, the first breakthrough of Damen Films, Tianshan Entertainment’s all-or-nothing effort, etc., are all reflected in the nomination list, and the new pattern after the awards season is reshuffled. , did anyone foresee this scene in advance?

Finally, and most importantly, the full debut of Blue Whale Films—

If the absolute strength of "City of Falling Stars" is said, it is only Lu Qian's personal ability.

A director endows a movie with soul, sweeps the awards season, and becomes famous. This kind of situation will be repeated almost every now and then. What really shows is the talent and talent of the director; but in the competition at the company level, personal ability is not worth mentioning , it is difficult to change the situation.

Therefore, whether it was the rise of both "tourist" and "lover" last year, or this year's "City of Starfall" topping the Golden Kite Award, Lan Chuan has never paid too much attention to it, because the brand of Blue Whale Films belonging to Lu Qian is indeed true. Too obvious, this is a double-edged sword, and it does not mean that Blue Whale Films has the ability to compete with other top film companies. In the eyes of the top people in the pyramid, they are still not as good as Damen Films.

But now it's much more than that.

From "Miss Nightingale" once turned out to lead the awards season, to "The Raid 2" suddenly broke out and won multiple nominations, everything is unusual.

Of course, there is one thing to say, "Raid 2" is still the work of director Lu Qian; but the point is that Blue Whale Pictures has opened up the situation and blossomed more, and the sparks from the collision of "Blacklist Project" and Echo are quietly spreading. Works such as "The Woman Who Left" also landed on the Echo platform—

At this point, it can be seen that Blue Whale Films already has the ability to make a comprehensive layout.

This means that the layout and weight are completely different.

This year's Golden Book Awards, Blue Whale Films received a total of 23 nominations~www.novelmt.com~ Far ahead of Lion Films, which received 11 nominations, directly doubled.

You know, Lion Pictures is particularly strong in the first stage of the awards season. "The Post" and "Billboard" can be called double carriages, and they have the momentum to win all important awards; Rich, showing the diversification of Lion Pictures, even the success of "Deadpool" has become an additional plus, allowing Lion Pictures to show its heritage and energy in the school's public relations in all aspects.

From last year to this year, during the two consecutive awards seasons, the wisdom and calmness shown by Lion Pictures in the midst of the chaos has indeed taken a new approach to control the situation.

They did not go all-in on superhero movies like Magic Pictures and Streamer Pictures, nor did they struggle to find a breakthrough in the awards season like Damen Pictures and Tianshan Entertainment. The calmness of the overall layout allowed them to find a way through the clouds and fog. , leading quietly by half a body.

At this time, it can be seen that Gu Qingyuan's ability as the helm of Lion Pictures is cautious, careful, and overthinking, but wise enough and determined enough. Showing bold execution is no small matter.

On the one hand, Lion Films seized the opportunity of Blue Whale Films to launch a full-scale cooperation with Mutant Team Universe and Echo; Lu Lu seems to have become a leading figure in the post-Weiwei era.

However, even such a Lion Films, with a long history of accumulation, still has not been able to stop the strong rise of Blue Whale Films.

To be precise, even Lion Films is inextricably linked with Blue Whale Films in every aspect, and the excellence of Blue Whale Films can be seen from the side.
