Vol 2 Chapter 793: What is academic


"Wow, Duke is the best director!"
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Duke is the most popular director. When the results of the best director were announced, the Internet suddenly boiled over. Many people called the "Duke Blow" group and began to leave messages everywhere.
"This is the second Golden Man for best director. Duke has surpassed James Cameron!"
"In the total box office, Duke has long left James Cameron far behind."
"Duke is the first Hollywood director."
"The great Duke, the great Rosenberg director, he doesn't need any awards at all. His greatness has long been recognized by fans all over the world!"
"Unfortunately, the box office of a single movie is still not as good as James Cameron..."
Seeing this sentence, Wang Ziming couldn't help sighing. As a tens of billions of dollars director, the box office of a single film cannot occupy the first place. It can be said that he thinks Duke's biggest regret.
When will Duke complete the box office surpassing of James Cameron's "Titanic" and "Avatar"?
This is something that Wang Ziming is very interested in.
Thinking of this, he quickly switched back to the live broadcast, after all, Duke's acceptance speech has not been said yet.
On the stage of the Kodak Theater, Duke has taken over the best director Golden Man from Catherine Bigelow, hugs her and Hilary Swank gently, and stands in front of the microphone.
His public relations manager, Pani Kellys, formulated the acceptance speech a long time ago. There is nothing surprising about the acceptance speech. In the words of the other party, the Oscar stage should also pay attention to creating an image. Some strange words are not. Suitable for this occasion.
Duke thinks the same.
"Thank you all! This is a very wonderful moment! I will never forget it in my life!"
Looking at the little golden man in his hand, Duke looked very excited. In fact, he was full of memories of the acceptance speech he just read last night. "Thank you for the affirmation of the college. I think I can get the most from a science fiction film. The good director Xiaojinren is really incredible."
This little joke immediately caused a burst of laughter in the Kodak Theater.
"There are many people I want to thank, and they always appear at every important moment in my life."
Converge his expression. Duke said very seriously, "Tina Fey, thank you for helping me with every job; Nancy Josephson and Penny Kelly, you are the best; Charles Rowan and Robin Gerald Rand. Without you, there would be no smooth shooting of every film; Zach Schneider, Hannah Serena, Anna Prinz, Jos Williams, Jimmy Carter and John Schwartz Ziman, everyone in my team, you are the best work partners in the world..."
After estimating the time, Duke accelerated his speech slightly. "I also want to thank my mother, Leah Rosenberg, you are the best mother in the world! And my girlfriend, she has made unimaginable efforts for this film, you are the best actor !"
"Thanks to everyone who loves me, thank you!"
There was enthusiastic applause from the audience again. Duke left the stage and walked towards the backstage. Just entering the backstage, Scarlett Johansson who was waiting here hugged him tightly.
The two said nothing. But everything has enough communication in the embrace.
The next step was a routine post-winning interview, and Duke prepared a lot of routines.
The awards are still going on, and only the last award left for this year's Oscars-Best Picture!
"Duke Rosenberg's award is not about how outstanding his work is. The college is more rewarding him for the achievements he has accumulated over the years..."
Wang Ziming, who paid attention to the webcast, once again heard the comment of the expert named Zhang Yibai, "Compared with other nominated directors, his qualifications and commercial achievements are all leaders. After all, Hollywood is a commercial circle, and business can sometimes determine many things. . Therefore. He won the best director, does not mean that "Gravity" can get the best film, I think "Social Network" is still promising..."
Steven Spielberg is already standing on the stage of the Kodak Theater. Opening the envelope, "The winner of the best picture is "The King's Speech"!"
Seeing Harvey Weinstein once again on the Oscar stage, the people in the Kodak Theater suddenly felt that the four most important cakes were evenly divided by the two crews...
After the interview, Duke did not leave the backstage, and soon saw Harvey Weinstein walking in. The two did not communicate at all, but showed a tacit smile.
They are also big winners tonight and have achieved their goals.
On the Internet on the other side of the Pacific, many people could not accept that "The King's Speech" won the best film in the end. In the eyes of most people, this film is too mediocre and lacks enough highlights.
As a guest on the live broadcast, Zhang Yibai started talking again, but compared to the unreliable remarks before, Wang Ziming thinks what he said is somewhat reasonable.
"Who is David Finch? At the age of 49, he became the chief photographer of the film, and then he worked in the industrial light and magic, advertising, and MTV industries for many years. Hollywood’s mainstream education system only has three years of Industrial Light and Magic, and he is now one of Hollywood’s leading directors. But the fact that he has not been favored by Oscars is actually embarrassing for both. "
"David Fincher is not a David Lynch-style alternative director. He is not a typical pornographic production director, he is not a B-level fun director, and he is not the kind of director who takes the expression of his will as his mission. David Fincher has never deviated from the mainstream Hollywood route, but he is still unable to classify it among mainstream directors. He makes star-studded genre films, which are not so commercial; he takes the technical route and is not like James Mellon. Leading the new trend, he is still very old-fashioned in his bones; he is skilled and not so regular; said he is a craftsman, he is not as active as Ron Howard, his film recognition is quite high, and he can be called an author 'Speaking of the author, he is not a real author like Old Woody."
"It’s nothing to say to lose to Duke Rosenberg in the best director. After all, the other party’s reputation, fame, and achievements are there, but in the best film to lose to "The King’s Speech", then I have to mention one thing, the powerful PR behind the best film!"
"Speaking of this, I have to mention the famous-or the infamous Harvey Weinstein. The movie boss is best at combining "Shakespeare in Love" and "Old Nowhere". The film without an Oscar turned into the best film, turning Gwyneth Paltrow into the worst acting queen in history."
"It's not surprising that David Fincher chose to shoot Zuckerberg's story. His previous films, without exception, focused the shots on rebels and outsiders. How did he talk about those killers and anarchists? Hiding in dirty and dark small houses and basements upset the world that excludes them. Zuckerberg, John in "Seven Deadly Sins", and Taylor in "Fight Club" are all equally crazy men And boys, with different faces."
"He is a gloomy master of pranksters, and this characteristic happens to represent our era. Except for Sony's public relations out of touch, are these things that scared the academy judges? We don't know. Zhu Finch and him Good luck next year for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"."
This one obviously has a good impression of David Fincher.
Wang Ziming was also very dissatisfied with "The King's Speech" as the winner of the best film, and even angry. The Oscar's meaning of dividing pork is too obvious, and even if it is a cake, "Social Network" is better than "The King's Speech" More qualified.
However, after all he knew something about Hollywood, and soon calmed down, came to the relevant website, and randomly typed out a comment about Oscar.
"Oscar's position is weird. It wants ratings and keeps a distance from business. It wants to be art, but dare not go too far. It can only be ambiguous. They are called academics, but what are academics? Ghosts know, maybe they I don't know how to say it myself. I only know that they are equally kitsch, but they are more conservative in their way."
"If the finale award was awarded to "Avatar" last year, it must be kitsch, but wouldn't it be kitsch if you don't give it? "The Hurt Locker" is also kitsch. Because no one believes that Oscars are pure, the way it is to please. It's vulgar, no matter how many arches are set up, it's useless. This year is the same. The king ascended the throne and took his seat securely. At the other end, daydreams woke up into white dreams. No matter how crazy the "Gravity" is I still can't get up."
"The Internet is dissolving the authority of Oscars. This traditional award ceremony is becoming more and more embarrassing. In an era where everyone is a film critic, it is destined to not be able to accommodate the most valuable movies of this era. It is only an American performance for the world. The show. This kind of show can't be refined, so don't be angry about it, let alone be superstitious."
As the Oscar live broadcast gradually appeared on the opposite network, each awards ceremony always aroused a lot of people's discussion, but one thing is indeed like Wang Ziming said, this country has a deeper understanding of Oscars, and you can watch it. There are many things behind the Oscars, and there are fewer and fewer so-called Olympic films that have been specially produced as before.
In the Kodak Theater, the annual event that represents the most glamorous side of Hollywood has ended, but everything about the Oscars is far from over. Many people left the Hollywood area and flocked to Beverly Hills, the annual Oscar night party. , Is also an essential event. (To be continued.)
