At this year’s Oscars, the biggest hot topic is not the showdown between “The King’s Speech” and “The Social Network,” but the rise of Generation Y..
This is not just a duel between two movies, but also a change in the entire film industry. It has an impact on the industry in all aspects. Everyone is curious, looking forward to it, and paying attention..
Now the answer is finally revealed. Natalie Portman, the first Oscar winner of Generation Y, has reached the top and completed the coronation..
In today's Hollywood, Generation There have never been stars with such strong appeal as Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Sean Penn. Matt Damon, Leon Nado DiCaprio and Ben Affleck still have a long way to go.
Now, Generation Y is catching up again. Not only has it achieved a breakthrough at the box office, but it has also successfully entered the Oscar stage. It has the momentum to compete for power..
This is a good thing for the film industry.
The transition between the old and the new is always full of pain and struggle, but it will eventually begin. Of course, people regretted Annette Bening's another defeat, but in comparison, Natalie's victory also represented With the rise of the new generation, this iconic milestone will obviously have a greater impact on the entire industry..
The rise of the younger generation is the main theme throughout this year's awards season. When the Oscars announced the nomination list, the overall weakness of Generation Y attracted countless media fire. The overall momentum of public opinion was to accuse the Academy of being conservative, old-fashioned, stubborn and pedantic, rejecting Accepting the new generation means that the times will not be able to move forward.
Now, as Natalie reaches the summit, all the doubts, complaints, and accusations have disappeared one after another. The clouds are cleared and the bright moon is visible. In an instant, the voices of praise are pouring in, even the negative news hanging over Natalie's head. The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and in a daze, people seemed to be suffering from amnesia.——
In this year's Oscars, on the one hand, the conservatives represented by "The King's Speech" won the final victory, and on the other hand, the new generation represented by Natalie seized the space. The Academy is in the midst of conservatism and innovation. , has found a balance point. Although it is only a small breakthrough, even if it is just a breakthrough for the best actress, it is enough to give people hope..
Thanks to the efforts of the major media, Natalie's victory has also become the driving force to push the wheel of history forward. In comparison, the negative impact of "Substitute Gate" is insignificant..
In addition to "The King's Speech" and Natalie, there were countless highlights at the awards ceremony that night:
James Franco and Anne Hathaway's disaster hosting was met with jeers and jeers, even 'hotter' than Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes; Melissa Leo says During her acceptance speech, she indulged in swear words, triggering a live broadcast crisis; on the red carpet, Cate Blanchett stunned the audience, and Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz officially announced their relationship……
There is no doubt that the Oscars are the top annual event in the film industry. No one can compare with it. After the awards ceremony ended, the major media reports were colorful, blooming, and lively, not to mention the Oscars that will continue to talk about it. It's night, and the noise will continue for at least three days. It won't settle down in a short time..
In this commotion, everyone seemed to have forgotten Renly's absence. This was not surprising. To be more precise, it was completely expected..
Even if Woody Allen is absent every year, the major media will not make a big deal about it, let alone an unknown person like Renly. Although before the award ceremony, Renly announced his absence at the last moment , triggered a heated discussion, but after the award ceremony, Renly was forgotten - on top of the star-studded Oscar, even if he attended, he might be ignored, let alone his absence.?
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Renly stepped on James Franco's shoulders at the last moment to win his first nomination; they also forgot that "Buried Alive", an independent work, made it through the difficult awards season; and even more forgotten Renly devoted himself so much to the filming of his new work that he suffered physical and mental problems, and even suffered slander and slander from the media..
Just a day ago, people were still criticizing the media, people were still marveling at Renly, and people were still lamenting his absence, but now, Renly has become a thing of the past..
Gradually, the Oscars are over, the bustle has dissipated, Hollywood has returned to calm, and the crew of "Fighting Cancer" has also returned to calm. The reporters surrounding the entrance of the studio can no longer be seen, and the empty streets are even more empty than before. The Sahara Desert is still deserted. It is as if the limelight brought by the three works "Pacific War", "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" have disappeared like bubbles, leaving no trace at all..
This is Hollywood, this is Vanity Fair, this is real society. The ebb and flow is just a matter of the blink of an eye..
But from another perspective, Andy Rogers’ intention has achieved.
It has only been less than a year since the premiere of "War in the Pacific", and Renly's rise has been unimaginable, especially with the two works "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" coming one after another. With a strong performance, first the Emmy Award, then the Golden Globe Award, and then the Oscar, Renly's upward momentum is almost unstoppable..
But at the same time, the consequences of an unstable foundation also came with it. Renly was like a living target. Negative emotions such as jealousy, contempt, disdain, resentment, exclusion, and suspicion were everywhere. They launched a series of attacks on Renly. Encirclement and suppression are like poisonous snakes, quietly waiting for the opportunity to attack. The hype surrounding the crew of "Fighting Cancer" is the most direct manifestation of this..
If it were a different actor, or a different situation, or a different crew, the so-called "hype" would be nothing at all. Not to mention media attention, netizens' crusade, and even no waves. This place is full of hype. In Hollywood, there is only a thin line between publicity and hype. But in fact, what Renly faced was a turbulent wave that was almost difficult to withstand..
Faced with such a situation, Andy has been thinking about solutions.
Andy can choose to fight back head-on, confront the enemy head-on with dignity, and respond to all doubts with more outstanding works, just like Tom Cruise back then..
“The release of "Top Gun" made Tom an instant star, but also faced doubts. After the two works "Rain Man" and "Born on the Fourth of July" made him achieve breakthroughs in the Oscars, he stood still. On the cusp of the storm, the popularity of movie fans and the difficulty of film critics have gone hand in hand, which vividly explains the "people are famous for their right and wrong"..
Later, Tom's five consecutive works, starting with "The Heroes of the Sea" in 1992 and ending with "Mr. Sweetheart" in 1996, had a box office of over 100 million in North America - in the 1990s, 100 million US dollars was synonymous with top box office, thus starting In his true heyday, all negative doubts were shut up, and he completed his promotion from a first-line star to a top superstar..
But this method may not be suitable for Renly. First of all, Renly is still a newcomer. Even if "Fast and Furious 5" later achieved a box office success, the credit goes to Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Without Renly taking the credit, it would be very difficult to break through with a commercial film.
Secondly, the risk is too great. Every subsequent work must be successful, whether it is an artistic work or a commercial film, and this pressure is gradually accumulated. Before quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, there will be a crisis of praise and a dilemma of exclusion. Everything will rise step by step. It took Tom Cruise five works to break the shackles and complete the transformation. But everyone's situation is different. Renly may need more, maybe less, but before the transformation , make one wrong move and lose everything..
Thirdly, Renly is an actor, and should just be an actor. This is Andy’s positioning of Renly..
Maybe, in the future, Renly can become a top star with both box office and awards, just like Tom Hanks, but at least not now. At present, Renly's foundation is unstable, let alone expecting box office, purely from a performance perspective , "Pacific War", "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" are still not enough. Renly needs more outstanding answers to prove himself and withstand the upgrade test of film critics..
Andy was ambitious but not greedy. So he chose to go with the flow and retreat bravely..
First, he focused on the filming of "Fighting Cancer", then he missed the Oscars, and then gave up on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and chose to star in "Transcendence". He gave up the plan of pursuing victory and the limelight, I gave up my overwhelming momentum and became down-to-earth and focused on my major, my acting skills, my roles, and my works. After retreating again and again, I finally relieved the crisis temporarily..
After the Oscars, although Renly failed to win more attention, in the reports of major media, Renly was almost invisible and completely ignored. The halo of focus that shrouded him seemed to have quietly disappeared overnight. But at the same time, negative news also dissipated, especially Oscar's return empty-handed, which made all attacks in vain. Even the discussions and doubts about Renly on the Internet have temporarily calmed down..
This also means that Renly can finally enjoy some quiet time..
Before the official release of "Fast & Furious 5", Renly can leave the spotlight and devote himself to the filming of "Fighting Cancer" and "Transcendence", just like when he filmed "Buried Alive" "Same as "Love Crazy". For Renly, it's a good thing; for Andy, it's a blessing.
Actor, focused on acting, that's how Andy wants people to think of Renly. Judging from the feature in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Andy's strategy worked..
