Disaster Artist

"Oh? What happened? Is Lanchuan lively again?"

Obviously, Tang Junyi couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the industry. After asking Lu Qian, he turned to look at the motor.

Then, Tang Junyi noticed Ma Ma's slightly surging eyes. Although his expression remained calm, he could still detect the turbulence in it.

Does the Gold Sparrow Award really have anything to do with it?

Lu Qian did not ridicule or despise, and his tone remained calm, as if discussing the weather.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Tang Junyi hasn't heard the news of the prosecution of the Lanchuan Journalists' Association. Eight millimeters of news should be followed in the next two days."

Sue?

So what exactly happened?

Before diving into the event, you should get some background.

The Golden Book Award is held by the Lanchuan Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, so it is also called the "Academy Award", more or less with a little academic atmosphere.

The Golden Sparrow Award is organized by the Lanchuan Journalists Association. It is composed of a group of journalists from all over the world who have been stationed in Lanchuan for a long time and pay attention to the dynamics of the film industry.

On the whole, the professionalism of journalists can only be said to be half, not completely, but not very professional; but their real advantage lies in their connections and information.

During the awards season, they walked to different parties and different occasions to pay attention to collect different news, and then took the pulse of the trend of the awards season.

It is precisely because of this that the Golden Sparrow Award has won the title of the vane, because they really pay attention to the preferences and trends of the academy judges.

It is also precisely because of this that the Golden Sparrow Award has always been criticized for not being authoritative, and all awards are awarded based on turbulent news in the industry.

In fact, the controversy about the Golden Sparrow Award has never stopped. "Interpersonal relationships" and "long-sleeved dance" are both positive and negative terms.

Even 20 years ago when the Golden Sparrow Awards were in full swing, they were always the target of the media, and the results of the annual cake-sharing awards were criticized every time.

More importantly, there are more than 10,000 members of the academy, which is also the reason for the authority of the Golden Book Award. The results are difficult to control and can only be guided and publicized; this reporters association has less than 100 members, and all voting results can be easily obtained. Manipulation and the dirty interests behind it always exist objectively.

But why is the Gold Sparrow still standing?

On the one hand, entertainment to death.

No one can deny that the Gold Sparrow Awards are as entertaining as popcorn and far more fun than those serious awards shows.

On the other hand, interests are involved.

The Golden Sparrow Award is like an "intermediary", receiving news and disseminating news, and then quietly guiding the wind direction. This has become an inseparable part of the community of interests throughout the awards season. People hate it and pursue it, go around, or Can't escape the industry rules of Vanity Fair.

The mentality of Ma Ma and Zhang Benqing can basically represent the attitude of the entire industry——

Of course they won't be "fanatic" for the Golden Sparrow Award, but the Golden Sparrow Award is the most important transit point leading to the Golden Book Award; what's more, this is Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry, why should it be so serious? What's wrong with having fun every now and then?

As a result, the Golden Sparrow Award has been held for many years amid controversy, and it has come to the 73rd in a blink of an eye.

It's been fine, but until two days ago.

Seven journalists jointly sued the Lanchuan Journalists Association, sending the organizers behind the Golden Sparrow Award to court in one pleading:

They sued each other for allegedly obstructing qualified journalists from applying to join the organization, and refusing to add new members to the association for three decades.

Is this illegal?

It sounds rough, why is it a bit ridiculous?

An organization has the right to choose its own members, and whether to accept a new application should naturally be decided by the organization itself, which should be a recognized fact.

So, what's going on here?

In fact, the whole case is not as simple as imagined, and the intricate relationship behind it is difficult to explain in a few words, but it is certain that:

Prosecution is not unreasonable.

One of the important objective facts is that the "Lanchuan Journalists Association" is nominally a non-profit organization composed of journalists from all over the world, but in fact, many members of the association are not journalists at all.

No agency, no published articles, no interview qualifications, only an ambiguous title, maybe a report written ten or twenty years ago or something; moreover, most of the members don't have any job now, the only job It is the annual selection of the Golden Sparrow Award——

This makes people wonder if they have mines at home, or can they live by drinking dew? Or else...

In direct contrast, journalists who are truly qualified and active on the front line are repeatedly turned away from applying to join the association.

And, not once or twice.

So, what is the reason?

More importantly, the Lanchuan Journalists Association is a non-profit organization that maintains the operation of the organization through various charitable donations, so the public has the right to ask them to disclose financial reports and the use of funds, as well as the office environment and employment status of staff, etc. Wait.

The prosecution of the seven reporters is not without basis, but whether it is illegal or not requires the court to judge. At least it is certain that there should be some tricks behind it.

The actions of these seven reporters are not necessarily to join the Lanchuan Journalists Association, but to reveal the secrets after the opening.

Once revealed, whatever the outcome, the scene is sure to be pretty ugly and is undoubtedly the event of the year for awards season.

So far, the news has not detonated for the time being, for two reasons.

First, the Lanchuan Journalists Association has been able to stand for so many years. The network and foundation in the industry should not be underestimated. The branches and branches spread throughout the industry. Control the fire before it starts.

Second, all major media, including 8mm, are collecting data and evidence to carry out in-depth reports. Now the most important thing is not to grab time, but to grab exclusives. Whoever has more complete, deeper and more authoritative information will be able to occupy the report. Taking the initiative is precisely because it involves a wide range of issues, so it needs to be paid more attention.

In just two days ~www.readwn.com~ all kinds of rumors spread silently, brewing a storm.

But so far, no one knows exactly where the storm is headed—

After all, the protagonist of the discussion at this moment is the Lanchuan Journalists Association. It is definitely not without reason that the Golden Sparrow Award can be held for the 73rd session amid the voices of doubt.

It takes courage and determination to challenge a giant at any time.

In fact, just look at the response of the motor.

It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't care, or he doesn't pay that much attention, because... the bigger picture is the most important thing.

The hustle and bustle of the awards season has just begun. In the past 20 or 30 years, they have become accustomed to the existence of the Golden Sparrow Award, and have launched the second stage of the awards season through the same model.

But if there is now a scandal at the Gold Sparrow Awards, what should be done next? What about the "Mars Mission"? What about Zhang Benqing?

Therefore, they also appear to be extra cautious, and this is not an exception.
