Disaster Artist

From "Furious Road" by Streamer Films to "Tourists" and "Lovers" by Blue Whale Films to "Focus" by Anonymous Films, the nominees for this year's Golden Book Award for Best Film are indeed eye-catching.

According to the nature of the Golden Book Award in recent years, the opportunities for the above-mentioned works exist objectively, but the probability is not high, because of the attributes of the works, the tone of the works, and the core of the works——

Rebellious.

resist.

break out.

In all aspects, it is indeed very difficult for these works to win the Golden Book Award nomination. From the nominations and winners of the Golden Sparrow Award, you can see the corners of the industry's opinions:

There is still some heat in the awards season; but it may be difficult to go further.

but!

The announcement of the nominations for the Golden Book Award brought a huge surprise. Whether it was related to Wei Wei's downfall, or whether the public relations during the awards season were indeed in place, it was a gratifying breakthrough for the Golden Book Award.

Because this also proves once again that excellent works can be seen and should be commended.

After the nomination list was announced, Lu Qian was interviewed for the first time, but instead of expressing his joy in the nomination of his work, he expressed his love for "Focus".

"We need works like this."

"Not only does the big screen need such works that penetrate the back of the paper, but real life also needs such inspiring works."

"Why do we still make movies? Because we still believe in movies, because we still love life, and because we still believe that art can change the world."

Lu Qian took the risk of being complained by netizens for "getting the heat", accepted an interview, and endorsed "Focus".

No matter what the netizens think, the media reporters clearly know that Lu Qian is sincere. After all, after the incident between the Lanchuan Journalists Association and Wei Wei surged, the young director chose to dive and refused all interviews. Put your whole heart and soul into your work.

The fact once again proved Lu Qian's energy.

In a word.

To be precise, it was just an interview, but "Focus" made it to the top ten of the hot search list in one go, just like popping out of a crack in the stone.

At the same time, the number of films in the major cinemas has also skyrocketed. What is even more rare is that the audience is also extraordinarily supportive. Previously, there was no such person's "focus" in the movie weekend box office rankings, and he actually entered the list for the first time!

Of course, it is undeniable that a large part of the reason is the "Golden Book Award effect", all the nominated works have ushered in the good news of a rising box office, but the upward curve of "Focus" is still surprising and undoubtedly becomes the most The biggest beneficiary of the Best Picture nominees.

The "Land Potential Effect" is worthy of attention.

From this point of view, the list of nominations for the best film of the Golden Book Awards seems to be very popular. After all, after expanding the number of nomination seats, the works that can finally be shortlisted are all worthy candidates for the awards season.

And dark horses like "Focus", which appear occasionally, will not only not cause controversy, but will further enrich the diversity and artistry of the nomination list.

In addition to Streamer Pictures and Lion Pictures, small workshops such as Blue Whale Pictures and Anonymous Pictures have also begun to emerge, injecting fresh blood into the awards season, and quietly breaking the pattern, which is critical to the healthy development of the entire awards season. There is no harm, and people should welcome competition.

This nomination list is worthy of recognition.

But is it really so?

Controversy, start again!

reason?

From the Weihai Film Festival to the Seka Film Festival, the biographical film "Hunter", which has won countless praise and attention, has actually lost the most important and critical nomination for the best film!

Can not accept!

This work produced and distributed by Pinnacle Entertainment has always been hailed as the best biographical film in recent years. From the director to the actors to the script, all of them are top-notch and have received countless praises from both inside and outside the industry. The only flaw is, The tone of the film is too dark and cruel, even bloody.

People used to worry before that such a dark work may not meet the public taste - as it is, the box office performance of the movie was not satisfactory; however, when the work really lost the Golden Book Award for the best picture nomination, the industry exclaimed , couldn't believe his eyes.

and!

The most infuriating and most speechless part is that the "Decoding Game" produced and distributed by Wechs Brothers Pictures was actually nominated for the nomination?

"Decoding Game", this is also a biographical film. Objectively speaking, the quality is also good, but in the eyes of real professionals, it is one grade, or even two grades worse than "Hunter". The two works are not on the same level at all. .

The former is stable, maybe not bad, and more in line with popular tastes, but it cannot stand the test of time.

The latter, equally calm, but sharp-edged, is a work that is truly worth remembering.

result?

"Decoding Game" has been nominated, but "Hunter" has not. There are even two vacancies left for the ten best picture nominations, so how are they vacant?

It's a shame, even aside from Wevey's controversy, an unacceptable result.

What's more, Wei Wei's controversy also exists objectively.

Even the "Decoding Game", which was implicated by Wei Wei and caused its momentum to continue to decline, was nominated, and "Hunter" was still not nominated, which is absurd when you think about it.

This once again proves that Wei Wei is a cancer in the industry.

His existence has allowed some moderate, stable, and pleasing 60 to 70 works to occupy the nomination list of the Golden Book Award through public relations means.

And those really excellent works have been squeezed out one after another, becoming less and less marketable, more and more indifferent, and the rich diversity of works suffered a fatal blow.

Because people can't see those works, like "Hunter", like "Focus"; also because people over-trust the network established by public relations during the awards season, refuse to step out of the safe comfort zone, refuse to explore more excellent works, the independent film field Countless works just didn't come out.

The increasingly mediocre and conservative Golden Book Awards are a disaster for the future of the entire film industry.

Perhaps, the noir film led by "Fury Road" won the Golden Book Award for Best Film nomination this year~www.readwn.com~ This is a small victory worthy of recognition, but after careful analysis, it can be found that including Lu Qianliang In this work, the surface is black, but it cannot hide the lightness and simplicity of the core itself.

Even "Focus" is hung with a theme of "Delivering Justice", lighting up the light of hope and conveying positive energy.

"Hunter" is different, the essence of the film tore the mask of human nature, and the blood shows the most filthy and ugliest things in human nature.

This is true black.

Choosing those works and giving up the "hunter", in essence, once again highlights the conservativeness of the Lanchuan Academy of Film Arts and Sciences.

Without waiting for netizens to speak out, the industry insiders can't wait to fire, and the cannons rumble!

Overwhelming scolding, vented down.

Peak Entertainment is also furious, fueling the flames behind it, and the entire vast momentum has reached its peak——

This also makes people unable to wake up the possibility again. Isn't it true that Peak Entertainment launched an attack to subvert the existing pattern of the awards season?
