Disaster Artist

Nominations need to look at quantity, and at the same time, they need to look at quality.

Only by looking at the pattern and trend of the entire nomination list can we truly understand what these nominations mean, how much immediate impact and how much future impact the stormy waves of this year’s awards season will have, and how Blue Whale Pictures has taken a long time to make a breakthrough. harvest time.

Nominations for Best Picture, needless to say, "Tourist" and "Love" are both nominated, which also makes Blue Whale Pictures and Lion Pictures go hand in hand.

Before that, first because of Wei Wei's relationship, and then because of the support of the Lanchuan Journalists Association, the prospects of Blue Whale Pictures' awards season were overshadowed.

Even Blue Whale Pictures itself has adjusted its PR strategy for the awards season. After all, they are still young, and their entry time is too short. There are still many things to learn slowly. Give up and adjust your strategy instead.

However, the Golden Book Award nomination list has brought surprises. This is a feat, no doubt, it is also a breakthrough. Even if the awards ceremony fails, it is also a huge victory for Blue Whale Pictures.

So, what about the other nominations?

Bear the brunt, best director!

"Fury Road," Miller.

"Reviver", Itu.

"The Big Short," McKay.

"Focus," McCain.

"Love", Lu Qian.

The most special and most interesting thing is that Lu Qian won the nomination with "lover" instead of "tourist". This result also caused a lot of exclamations——

First, "Tourist" was the winner of the best director at the Weihai Film Festival.

Second, the "lover" is still a little bit more commercial as a whole.

Judging from the momentum and trend of the whole awards season, the nomination of the best director by "tourists" is higher than that of "lover". That is to say, Lu Qian won the nomination with "lover". To a certain extent, this is the An unpopular, hustle and bustle sparked a heated discussion, but no one knew how it happened.

Of course, a nomination is a nomination after all, but it also means that Lu Qian is a little further away from the best director trophy, because the competitiveness of "lover" is obviously not as good as that of "tourist".

This result is the direct impact brought by the so-called "vote split crisis".

Two works entered the awards season at the same time and won the attention. It has happened before, and many, not fifty times, but thirty times, from the director to the leading actor/heroine to the supporting role department, to the screenwriter, photography, etc., etc. , such a feat to a large extent also proves professional ability.

Attention, is attention, the scenery is infinite.

But at the same time, for the members of the academy, they must also face a difficult problem, "I want to vote for Lu Qian, but which work should I vote for".

Some people like "Lovers", some like "Tourists", and some people simply choose "Focus" or "Big Short" because they both like the choice of phobia and can't make a choice after all.

Dividing the votes is like this, divide a little here, divide a little there, divide a little, and the unpopular will appear, and then, it will be a little farther away from the award.

Undoubtedly, this is a happy annoyance.

However, in this year's Best Director nomination list, the highlight is not only Lu Qian. Except for Itu, who won the Best Director last year, all the other four directors are nominated for the Golden Book Award for the first time in their careers, and each director has his own The story, which is also a major highlight of this year-

Who can win?

Whoever wins will make history?

If it is Itu, he will be the first director to win the Golden Book Award for best director for the first time in 30 years; if it is any of the other four directors, then they will all win the award immediately after being nominated for the first time, and the writing belongs to Everyone's own miracle.

Second, the best clips.

"Fury Road," "The Lover," "The Revenant," "Spotlight," "The Big Short."

The editing department is known as the "small best movie", because the art of the movie is largely the art of editing. Through the splicing and organization of the editing, it gives the footage a unique texture and meaning, and reconstructs the plot and characters. It is also the most magical part of filmmaking.

Every year, the best editing is hailed as the vane of the best picture, and winning this trophy often means taking a step towards the ultimate prize.

Of course, the editing of commercial films is equally important, especially action films.

The year before last, "The Raid" was well-received and won a lot of acclaim, and it made great strides early in the awards season, even winning a nomination for the Editors' Guild Award.

It's a pity that Blue Whale Pictures didn't concentrate on public relations, and "The Raid" itself is a purely commercial film. It still has inherent deficiencies in the awards season. In the end, unfortunately missed the nomination of the Golden Book Award. Despite this, the name "Lin Hanzhou" is in the industry. Spread the word and attract a lot of attention.

Therefore, occasionally, commercial films will also be unpopular above the best editing awards. In the past ten years, three best editing awards have belonged to commercial films that did not win the best picture nomination, which also indirectly proves that the technical department is overall The language remains professional.

Looking at this year's list of nominees, all five nominees are hot contenders for best picture.

At the same time, in the early stage of this year, "Mars Mission" attracted much attention, but it was weak in the sprint stage. Two important nominations for Best Director and Best Editing were dropped from the Golden Book Award nomination list, which also marked the follow-up momentum of the film. , it is very likely that it will not be able to keep up with the competition in the second phase of the awards season.

Among them, no one knows whether it is related to a series of decisions of the motor——

But people in the industry know that the news of Lu Qian's refusal to attend the Golden Sparrow Awards first came from Ma Ma's party. However, Ma Ma remained silent for a long time, and did not express his position until things approached a turning point. Zhang Benqing, his friend, clashed.

All kinds, all kinds.

However, in fact, it is very likely that Lions Films made a decision. In order to avoid the crisis of split votes, their public relations power was fully tilted towards the "Resurrection". Naturally, the follow-up momentum of "Mars Mission" gradually declined. This is the most reasonable explanation.

Finally, coverage.

In the four major categories of awards, director, actor, script, and editing, there are only three works that have won nominations this year.

"Focus ~www.readwn.com~The Big Short", "Love."

"Reviver", "Fury Road", and "Mars Mission" are the three works that lead the nomination stage in number, but all have their own shortcomings.

It can be seen from this that this year's awards season is a melee, everyone has a chance, the so-called popular is not as strong as imagined, but the so-called dark horse is more popular than expected.

If it is further refined, then the four major awards in the actor department, two protagonists and two supporting roles, among which the protagonist's attention is completely different.

There is only one work that can win the nominations for Best Director, Best Actor/Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay/Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing at the same time:

"spouse".

This is the so-called quality, the focus of the focus, the core of the core, and the "lover" occupies the center position in the list of nominations for the Golden Book Award with an unparalleled attitude.

Then, coupled with the unwillingness of "tourists", this is the true face of Lu Qian's momentum in this year's awards season, far more than just the number.
