Hollywood as a whole is a tangled body of closely related interests. Sometimes, personal interests are just personal interests; but sometimes, personal interests can be leveraged to leverage collective interests—for example, Kim Carey’s "20 Million Club" For example, Johnny Depp’s "Box Office Dividend Remuneration", the beginning of the story is only for personal gain, but the development of the story has changed the entire industry structure.

The same is true of Lan Li now.

Why does the entire film industry describe Lan Li as a "phenomenal figure", not because of EGOT, nor because of two consecutive 500 million box offices, but because Lan Li’s choice and attitude are changing the framework of the entire industry, from independent films From art movies to commercial movies, you can feel everything.

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, once again leveraging the Wall Street capital in Hollywood, for The film production team headed by actors and directors wins more benefits.

For Thomas, Renly just hit the gun, he chose to attack in order to protect his own interests; and for Renly, Thomas happened to become a hurdle in the process of his transformation, in order to win more freedom and rights. Instead, choose confrontation. But now this confrontation is getting bigger and bigger!

As mentioned before, the higher the standing, the greater the responsibility; the stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility. As an ordinary employee and as a CEO, the power and responsibilities will be completely different. Now Lan Li is entering a whole new world, no matter whether he wants it or not, there is no turning back now.

It is against this background that not long ago, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association announced the nomination list for the 71st Golden Globe Awards, and Lan Li deservedly once again became the focus of attention!

Without any suspense, Lan Li was nominated for the best actor in the drama category and the musical comedy category; in addition, the two works "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" have further entered the drama category and musical comedy. The battle for the best film in the category is even more fierce than the wave created by the "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me" in the past!

The first is the drama department.

"Twelve Years as 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 number one seed in this year’s awards season.

Fox Searchlight is responsible for the distribution, Brad Pitt as the producer, coupled with a strong cast of stars, and black-themed movies as the escort, "Twelve Years as a Slave" can be said to be the Oscar proposition in the composition Exemplary works, the journey of this year’s awards season can be described as steady and smooth sailing. Even film critics have given praises one after another. This is the work second only to "gravity" in the media review this year.

Objectively speaking, "Twelve Years as 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" has faded. However, he succeeded in creating the work "Twelve Years of Being a Slave" with "Everything is Just Right" with his artistic philosophy——

Not too sharp, not too gentle, not too ostentatious, not too low-key, not too gorgeous, not too mediocre, everything is smooth; even if you don’t like it, you can’t be too picky. Freaky, even though there is not much discussion about meaning from the perspective of artistic value, it perfectly fits Oscar's aesthetics.

Simply put, this is not artistic creation, this is a propositional composition. Moreover, this is still a full-point proposition. The academy has no reason to reject or ignore such a work. "Twelve Years as a Slave" almost perfectly interprets the concept of "Oscar series", even better than "king's speech" and "artist". "More fit.

Of course, it is even more boring; but this is the Oscar.

Since the Toronto Film Festival, the momentum of "Twelve Years as a Slave" has been rising all the way, easily surpassing all competitors, bursting into a strong posture of Yiqi Juechen, and rushing to Oscar.

The list of nominations for the Golden Globes has also been confirmed.

In addition, "Gravity", "Filo Mena", "Speed ​​Wind/Stream", and "Captain Phillips" all entered the final competition for the best film. Among them, "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" are all four nominations, and they are on par.

Relatively speaking, "Captain Phillips" and "Fast Wind/Stream" are both biographical films, which are in line with the aesthetics of the academy. However, the pseudo-documentary style of the former and the lopsided sword are not the consistent style of the academy; the overall quality of the latter is still not outstanding enough. The script and performance are relatively weak, and the nomination for the Golden Globes may not be able to establish the follow-up strength.

"Filo Mena" is a warm sketch, a bit similar to the "Beginner" in 2010. If you want to transform into this year's "Juneo" or "Little Sunshine Beauty", you need to continue to work hard in the follow-up.

"Gravity" entered the final decisive battle circle as a commercial film, but it was an unexpected surprise. Despite the rave reviews, its strong commercial attributes may be like "Avatar", but it has become a stumbling block to prevent the film from achieving good results at the Oscars. ——The weak script is the common ground of the two commercial films, but the wonderful performance has become the unknown factor of "gravity".

Looking at it as a whole, "Twelve Years as a Slave" has almost no rivals, and "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" need to burst out shocking upsets before they can come back; and the real opponents of "12 Years as a Slave" come from another A work that was classified as a work in the musical comedy category at the Golden Globe Awards.

Followed by the musical comedy department.

"American Scam" is a great success, with seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. Twelve Years of Slaves goes hand in hand. This work, which was officially released in December, is becoming the third seed of this year’s awards season, disrupting the situation.

Columbia Pictures is responsible for the distribution, directed by David-O-Russell, and the cast is as star-studded, continuing the director’s past two works "Fighter" and "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" style, which is also typical of the Oscars season Healing works have risen steadily after their release, and they have already pre-booked seed seats for this year's Oscars.

Every aspect of the "American Scam" is reminiscent of last year's "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds". It looks like a comedy sketch, but in fact it is small and big. The sophisticated production, the joking attitude and the return of the heavyweight make "American Scam" has become the best representative of the Oscar series of comedies.

David-O-Russell is like the sunny version of the Coen brothers, or the positive version of Alexander Payne. But this is precisely the most regrettable part. The Coen brothers are dark enough to reveal the dark side of society in a single black, Alexander Payne is petty enough to analyze the problems of the middle class sharply and profoundly, and David-O-Lasse What about you? The core thought has always been like a scratching, and the last lap of the gossip is still the American dream-style chicken soup for the soul.

From "fighter" to "the line of happiness behind the dark clouds" to "American scam", David-O-Russell's works are always like this. It is easy to reap the love of academics, but after all, he shines in the actors. The work as a whole and the director himself still lack the real attack power.

From a certain point of view, "American Scam" and "Twelve Years as a Slave" are both works of the same type. They are mellow, smooth, harmonious, and exquisite, but lack some sharpness; but the difference lies in the "Twelve Years as a Slave". The black theme of "Two Years" gave the work a natural offensive nature, which also made the latter slightly ahead of the "American Scam" in the awards season competition.

The list of nominations for the Golden Globe Awards can be seen. Both "Twelve Years as a Slave" and "American Scam" are nominated for seven, but the latter's awards are still more concentrated in the performance part, while the former also has a technical nomination. . Not surprisingly, the prospects for the awards season of "Twelve Years as a Slave" should still have an advantage.

In addition to this, "Nebraska", "Drunk Country Folk Songs", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "She" have also won best picture nominations.

The "Wolf of Wall Street", who has been constantly creating topics throughout the awards season, has appeared on the nomination list for the Golden Globes amidst scolding, which is also a signal.

There are countless topics about "The Wolf of Wall Street", and there are endless talks about it, but to sum it up simply: the values ​​promoted by this movie have just poke the pain of Hollywood.

The protagonist of the movie, Jordan Belfort (Jorda), is a real person. In real life, he is an existence that stings the nerves of countless Americans. His amassed wealth is as famous as the crimes he committed. His history It also represents the dark history of many capitalists; but the film did not criticize Jordan, but showed the whole character in a nuanced comic situation~www.novelhall.com~ This absurd and relaxed way of handling made the audience feel the "infringement" "--Putting money and status, trampling on morals and laws, although everyone knows that this is social reality, it is truly seen on the big screen that values ​​and outlook on life have been severely challenged.

The authoritative industry magazine "Variety" commented in this way that Jordan, the protagonist of "The Wolf of Wall Street" looks like a smashing star, and in real life, the real Jordan Belfort has not tasted "justice". Under sanctions, he was released after only 22 months in jail, 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 unsatisfactory.

All of this caused the "Wolf of Wall Street" to be controversial, and the college judges expressed strong dissatisfaction.

From a certain point of view, the "wolf of Wall Street" and Renly are in the same situation. They are both fighting against Wall Street Capital. The former even reveals the filth and darkness under the glamorous surface of Wall Street, but why does Hollywood have an attitude? Has there been a subtle disagreement?
