1656 joke capital
The entire Hollywood is a tangle of closely related interests. Sometimes, personal interests are just personal interests; but sometimes, personal interests can become a lever to leverage collective interests - such as Jim Carrey's "Twenty Million Club" , such as Johnny Depp's "box office dividend-style remuneration". The beginning of the story was just personal interests, but the development of the story changed the entire industry structure..
The same is true for Renly now.
Why the entire film industry describes Renly as a "phenomenal figure" is not because of EGOT, nor because of two consecutive 500 million box office movies, but because Renly's choices and attitudes are changing the framework of the entire industry, from independent films to From art films to commercial films, you can feel it in all aspects.
The internal rumors about "Interstellar" and the cooperation between Renly and Universal Pictures are just sparks, but Hollywood hopes that these sparks can become a raging fire and once again leverage the Wall Street capital in Hollywood to Film production teams headed by actors and directors win more profits.
For Thomas, Renly hit the point of the gun, and he chose to attack in order to protect his own interests; and for Renly, Thomas happened to be a hurdle in his transformation process, and he chose to attack in order to win more freedom and rights. And choose confrontation. But now this confrontation is getting bigger and bigger！
As said before, the higher you stand, the greater your responsibility; the stronger your ability, the heavier your responsibility. As an ordinary employee and as a CEO, the power in your hands and the responsibilities you shoulder will be completely different. Today's Blue Li is entering a new world. Whether he wants it or not, there is no turning back now..
It is against this background that not long ago, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the nomination list for the 71st Golden Globe Awards, and Renly deservedly became the center of attention again.！
Renly was undoubtedly nominated for Best Actor in the Drama and Musical Comedy categories; moreover, "Gravity" and "The Balladeer" were further nominated in both the Drama and Musical Comedy categories. The battle for the best film in the category is even more fierce and fierce than the trend created by the joint efforts of "Crazy Love" and "Fighting Cancer"！
First, the drama department.
“"12 Years a Slave" became the biggest winner, with seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Soundtrack. The work that won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival not long ago is becoming the top seed during this year's awards season.
Fox Searchlight is responsible for distribution, Brad Pitt is the producer, coupled with a strong star-studded cast, and there are also black-themed movies as escorts, "12 Years a Slave" can be said to be an Oscar proposition composition. An exemplary work, it can be said that the journey in this year's awards season is steady and smooth. Even film critics have given praise - this is the work that was second only to "Gravity" in media reviews this year..
Objectively speaking, "12 Years a Slave" is a well-made assembly-line work. The coldness and sharpness that director Steve McQueen once showed in works such as "Hunger" and "Shame" have been worn away. Despite all his efforts, he successfully used his artistic concepts to create "12 Years a Slave", a work in which "everything is just right"——
Not too sharp nor too gentle, not too ostentatious nor too low-key, not too gorgeous nor too mediocre, everything is in perfect balance; even if you don’t like it, you can’t fault it. What a bug, even if it doesn’t have much meaning in terms of artistic value, it perfectly fits Oscar’s aesthetics.
To put it simply, this is not an artistic creation, it is a proposition composition. Moreover, this is a proposition work with full marks. The Academy has no reason to reject or ignore such a work. "12 Years a Slave" almost perfectly explains what is called an "Oscar-type work" "The concept is even more consistent than "The King's Speech" and "The Artist".
Of course, it's also more boring; but, this is Oscar.
Since the Toronto Film Festival, the momentum of "12 Years a Slave" has been rising, easily surpassing all competitors, bursting out with a strong posture, rushing towards the Oscars.
The nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards was also confirmed.
In addition, "Gravity", "Philomena", "Up" and "Captain Phillips" are all in the final competition for best picture. Among them, "Gravity" and "Phil." "Captain Si" are all four nominees, neck and neck..
Relatively speaking, "Captain Phillips" and "Fast" are both biographical films, which are in line with the aesthetics of the academy. However, the former's pseudo-documentary style and eccentric approach are not the usual style of the academy; the overall quality of the latter is not outstanding enough. The script and performances are relatively weak, and a Golden Globe nomination may not necessarily establish a strong follow-up.
“"Philomena" is a heartwarming sketch, somewhat similar to the 2010 "Beginners". If you want to transform into this year's "Juno" or "Little Miss Sunshine", you will need to continue to work hard in the future..
“"Gravity" entered the final round as a commercial movie, but it was an unexpected surprise. Although it received rave reviews, its strong commercial attributes may be like "Avatar" and become a stumbling block that prevents the film from achieving good results at the Oscars. —A weak script is the common denominator of the two commercial films, but the wonderful performances become an unknown factor in "Gravity".
Now overall, "12 Years a Slave" has almost no opponents. "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" need shocking upsets to come back; and the real opponents of "12 Years a Slave" come from other countries. A work that was classified in the musical comedy category at the Golden Globe Awards.
Next is the musical comedy department.
“"American Hustle" was the best, with seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. "Twelve Years" is neck and neck. This work, which was only officially released in December, is becoming the third seed in this year's awards season, disrupting the situation..
Columbia Pictures is responsible for distribution and David O. Russell directs. The cast is also star-studded, continuing the style of the director's past two works "The Fighter" and "Silver Linings Playbook", which is also typical of the Oscar award season. This healing work has been rising steadily since its release, and it has already booked its seed seats at this year's Oscars..
“Every aspect of "American Hustle" is reminiscent of last year's "Silver Linings Playbook." It looks like a comedy sketch, but in fact it is a small comedy that makes a big difference. The sophisticated production, playful attitude and effortless return all make " "American Hustle" becomes Oscar-winning comedy.
David O. Russell is like a sunny version of the Coen brothers, or a positive version of Alexander Payne. But this is also the most regrettable part. The Coen brothers are dark enough to reveal the dark side of society. , Alexander Payne is a petty bourgeoisie enough to analyze the problems of the middle class sharply and profoundly, but what about David O. Russell? The core idea is always just scratching the surface, and the last round of detours is still the American dream-style chicken soup for the soul..
From "The Fighter" to "Silver Linings Playbook" to "American Hustle", David O. Russell's works are always like this, easily gaining the love of academics, but in the end they still shine as actors. The overall work and the director himself still lack the power of a real punch..
From a certain point of view, "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave" are both works of the same type, mellow, smooth, harmonious, and refined, but less sharp; but the difference is that "10 Years a Slave" The black theme of "Two Years" gave the work a natural aggressiveness, which also made the latter slightly ahead of "American Hustle" by half a position in the awards season competition..
It can be seen from the Golden Globe nomination list. Both "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" have seven nominations, but the latter's awards are still more concentrated in the acting part, while the former also has a technical nomination. .If nothing else, “12 Years a Slave” should still have an advantage in awards season prospects.
In addition to this, "Nebraska," "The Big Apple," "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Her" also earned best picture nominations.
"The Wolf of Wall Street", which has continued to create buzz throughout the awards season, appeared on the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards amid a lot of criticism. This is also a signal..
There are countless topics to talk about "The Wolf of Wall Street", and there is no end to them, but to sum it up simply: the values promoted by this movie just hit the sore spot of Hollywood..
The protagonist of the movie, Jordan Belfort, is a real person. In real life, he is a person who stung the nerves of countless Americans. The wealth he accumulated is as famous as the crimes he committed. His The history of prosperity also represents the dark history of many capitalists; however, the movie does not criticize Jordan, but uses a comedic situation to show the entire character in detail..
This absurd and relaxed way of handling made the audience feel "violated" - flaunting money and status, trampling on morality and law. Although everyone knows that this is the social reality, it is truly true to see it on the big screen. At this time, our values and outlook on life have been severely challenged..
The industry's authoritative magazine "Variety" commented that the male protagonist Jordan of "The Wolf of Wall Street" looks like an all-powerful star, but in real life, the real Jordan Belfort has never tasted "justice" Sanctioned, he was released after only twenty-two months in prison, and then made a fortune again through his autobiography. Wherever he went, a large number of fans flocked to ask for autographs..
Such values are indeed unacceptable.
All of this made "The Wolf of Wall Street" controversial, and the Academy judges showed strong dissatisfaction.
From a certain point of view, the situation of "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Renly are the same. They are both fighting against Wall Street capital. The former even revealed the filth and darkness under the bright surface of Wall Street, but why is Hollywood's attitude so different? There are subtle differences.？
