2346 Aftershocks continue
Undoubtedly, this is a night about dreams.
Damien Chazelle once stood on the edge of despair, stuck in a rut and unable to extricate himself in the bumpy collision of dreams and reality. Then he chose to put all his efforts and wait for the rabbit's stupidity and clumsiness, but it made him wait until the blue came. Eli Hall, with the support of Sisyphus Films, completed his long-awaited work.
Now, this work, which has been rejected by countless film companies, ignored by countless producers, and thrown into the trash can by countless agents, has achieved the greatest glory of the 87th Oscars! Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Sound Effects, a total of six statuettes, truly interpreting the motto that dreams will never let down those who persist, let Dolby Theater at night.
More importantly, it’s a night about art.
From the rise of "Boyhood" to the counterattack of "Birdman" to the upset of "Creep", one core topic throughout the entire awards season is: Art.
At a time when sequel movies and adapted movies are dominating, the living space of original movies is getting narrower and narrower, and it is becoming more and more difficult for works that down-to-earthly tell about life and reality, not just Oscar-winning drama movies, but also comedies, thrillers, science fiction, etc. All serious and original stories are facing similar dilemmas. "Two sets of tights" are making the film industry breathless, and it has become the biggest trend during the awards season..
“"Boyhood" returned to its original nature and created a work in twelve years. This persistence and tenacity are touching..
“"Birdman" simply uses the lonely superhero actor as a template to tell the story of the cruel current situation in Hollywood, using a black comedy to laugh at itself and make people laugh and cry..
The discussions and adventures in the two works all come down to the "Exploding Drummer"'s study and obsession with art. The stubbornness and darkness that cannot survive without going crazy, burst out with a bloody violence, cold, cruel, and violent. Hitting wantonly, as if the film industry is trying to get rid of the shackles of two sets of tights, using all its strength, struggling and tearing, trying to regain the vast sky that belongs to art.
Choosing "Birdman" means self-remembering and self-encouragement; choosing "Explosive Drummer" means self-struggle and self-breakthrough..
The Oscars finally came to an end with "Breaking Drummer" taking the top spot, which gave people a clear sense of the determination of Hollywood film professionals to try to break the deadlock..
So, it's a night about art.
But the victory of "Explosive Drummer" is definitely not that simple. Considering the degree of conservatism of the academy, it is impossible for them to make such a risky choice without someone pushing behind them; furthermore, even if there is someone pushing, the driving force is insufficient. , the academy judges also refused to change.
Harvey Weinstein quickly found out the truth. He was careless and ignored too many clues. There were early signs of the "Explosion Drummer" upset..
Although on the surface, Renly is absent from the academy's public relations, in fact, Sony Classics and Sisyphus Pictures have not relaxed the operation of the second phase at all. The Coen Brothers, Robert Redford, Steven Spielberg Greg, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain, etc., and even the two competitors David Fincher and Wes Anderson, they all took the initiative to start the "Explosion Drummer" to promote——
Since the Sundance Film Festival last year, Sisyphus Pictures has been laying out its plans, triggering countless discussions in the industry, but has never been able to figure it out. At this point, the tip of the iceberg has finally been revealed. Apparently they are pursuing more than just a building. The Oscar for Best Picture is just a statuette - the Oscar is just a side option, the real core purpose is to promote the development of independent, original, artistic films, and even change the status quo of the industry.
The blueprint of Sisyphus Pictures is very grand. Now people in the industry have only caught clues and still cannot imagine what their ultimate goal is..
Even Alfonso Cuaron expressed his support. This is also the reason why Alfonso was absent from the Oscars: he could not choose between two friends, Renly and Alejandro..
While Harvey's eyes are still on the Best Actor trophy, Renly has already moved far ahead to another level, leaving him behind..
The difference in vision and position has gradually widened the gap between Renly and Harvey. This is not just the ranking of Hollywood power by *** magazine, but also the essential difference in looking at the overall situation of the industry and grasping their own position..
“"Breaking Drummer"'s Oscar win is just a small step.
Now, even Harvey can't imagine what level Renly's future will reach. Although Harvey said viciously, "The higher you stand, the harder you fall," but deep down, he knew that he wanted to It is impossible to trip up Renly easily. Unless...unless there is a stain on Renly's private life, it is best to commit a crime similar to Roman Polanski and send Renly directly to the police. court, then maybe the situation can be reversed.
No one knew what Harvey was thinking, and of course, no one cared. The whole of Hollywood was cheering for this bright and gorgeous night of history..
“‘Cracking Drummer's historic win for Best Picture！”
“Damien Chazelle writes Hollywood Cinderella's fairy tale - two years ago, he couldn't even find a company or producer willing to invest in this work.”

“The regret of the past will not be performed again tonight after all: 'Exploding Drummer' carries the burden of change and innovation, breaking the 87-year ice of the academy！”
“Renly Hall won two Best Actor awards, but all his limelight was lost to Best Picture winner "The Big Banger"’.”
“Witness the historical moment: Renly Hall opened the second round of EGOT and once again won the Best Actor title; 'Breaking Drummer' ushered in a changing era of independent films, from 'Pulp Fiction', 'Brokeback Mountain', 'Little Miss Sunshine', 'Juno' to current 'explosive drummer'’......”
“The greatest actor of the 21st century? This is not Renly Hall's goal - it is to lead the way in leveraging the traditional Hollywood production industry..”
“‘Could Cracking Drums' Become a Revolutionary New Beginning for Hollywood?？”
“Exactly twenty years ago, 'Ah Chong', 'Pulp Fiction', and 'The Shawshank Redemption' became classics; then tonight, 'Boyhood', 'The Grand Budapest Hotel', 'Birdman' and 'Crackling Drummer' can they withstand the test of time?？”
“Best Director for Iñárritu, Best Actress for Moore, Best Actor for Hall, and...Best Picture for 'Breaking Drummer'.”

“Real Best Picture: 'Crackling Drummer'’！”

After the reporters released the news immediately, they hurried to the Sunset Tower Hotel. The following Oscar night will bring more surprises. Whether they are winners or losers, reporters will be able to find out. Asking them tons of questions, it was clearly going to be a very lively night.
The actual situation slightly exceeded expectations, and many unexpected faces appeared at the Sunset Tower Hotel..
For example, Ryan Gosling, Paul Walker and Anne Hathaway are all friends of Renly, but none of their works appeared during the awards season this year, and they all appear to be relatively low-key. Attending the Oscar night can be regarded as an unexpected surprise..
For another example, Christopher Nolan and Paul Greengrass, these two directors are well-known in the industry for their low-key and reserved nature. When they appeared on Oscar night, they may not have many topics for reporters to discuss. , but the meaning behind it seems profound.
For example, Kathleen Kennedy arrived at the scene in person, apparently for the media promotion of the two Star Wars series "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One", but the actual situation made people have to think more.
These are just some of the situations that reporters can detect on the surface. In the dense and turbulent crowds of people coming and going, if you don't pay attention, you may miss some figures, or miss some behind-the-scenes people who are not so important.
