1218. Crowned King of the World?
"Titanic" won 16 nominations in the nominations announced by the Academy Awards, which can be said to have set a record, the record for the most nominations for the Academy Awards.
The media naturally had another carnival!
"Titanic has set the most Oscar nominations after breaking the box office record of film history in more than 20 years that "Star Wars Legend" has maintained!"
"Titanic set another record for award nominations. Let's wait and see if it can win the most awards at the Oscars in two months!"
"What is the limit of "Titanic"? It's the box office in film history, the number of nominations for Oscars, and there are more firsts waiting!"
"The miracle director from China has created miracles again, and "Titanic" may become the most award-winning movie!"
After the nomination was announced, Wang Yifan can be said to have become the most wanted interview object of the media.
But unfortunately, after Wang Yifan only accepted interviews from two media symbolically, even the reporters of Hollywood's supernatural powers could not find him at other times.
If they can't find Wang Yifan, they will naturally have to find others.
For example, Wang Yifan's previous biggest competitor, Hollywood's 10 billion director, Jack Curtis, was stopped by media reporters and asked about his views on "Titanic" and his views on the film's nomination for 16 Academy Awards.
Many entertainment journalists were already ready, just waiting for Jack Curtis to speak, and then hype up the showdown between the two again.
But in the end, they obviously underestimated the emotional intelligence of a director with a billion-dollar scale.
In fact, Jack Curtis and Wang Yifan are not aware of their enemies at all, and their grudges are just for their own masters.
In fact, "Titanic" is indeed very successful, but it does not mean that "Explorer Poke Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" really failed.
However, at the same time, if two blockbusters meet, there will naturally be winners and losers.
And if it were Jack Curtis himself, if he could make a decision, he would definitely not be willing to take out his movie and fight with Wang Yifan's movie in the same schedule!
Because it's just a battle of intent.
For him, Ah Li's strategy itself is the biggest failure.
And Jack Curtis actually likes Titanic.
"Titanic is a great masterpiece. You can compare each nomination to the movie and you will find that it deserves any of these sixteen nominations!" Jack Curtis's answer obviously disappointed the media that wants to make trouble.
What about the enemy for a lifetime?
Why did you surrender like this?
Yes, the outside world once called Chen Zhixian and Jack Curtis the enemy of their lifetime, and they like to make such gimmicks the most.
But to some extent, what they said is really fine.
Why?
Because, although Jack Curtis lost one game, he is still a director of 10 billion yuan, and Wang Yifan set a box office record in film history, both of them are the most dazzling.
So what is it that the two of them are not enemies for a lifetime?
But Jack Curtis scoffed at this.
Just kidding, how old is yourself, and how old is Wang Yifan?
Return to the enemy for a lifetime?
Moreover, making movies is not about going to the battlefield, so where do so many enemies come from?
At most it is just a competitor.
But as long as it is not in the same period, everyone can cooperate!
Of course, the announcement of the Academy Awards every year will always cause a lot of controversy.
This is also normal. After all, no result can satisfy everyone.
After all, it's not US dollars!
What those people most directly objected to "Titanic" is the commercial nature of this movie!
After all, "Titanic" has already won such a high box office, and it is too much to even grab art awards at this time?
This is the psychology of many people, just like the psychology of hating the rich. No matter how you explain it, it is useless.
But this time, the spokesperson of the School of Film Arts and Sciences also responded to the series of controversies on behalf of the official.
To put it bluntly, it means responding to the Oscars and the Film Academy.
After all, Oscars must be maintained, even if this time, they are indeed kidnapped by business, and even this time, they are indeed influenced by public opinion.
But I definitely can't say that to the outside world, right?
So, they have to give an explanation that looks, sounds, is more reasonable.
At the press conference, a reporter attacked: "In fact, it is undeniable that the story of "Titanic" is a mutated "Romeo and Juliet". This story that has been used repeatedly for hundreds of years has achieved great commercial achievements. But in terms of artistic terms, is "Titanic" worthy of the sixteen Oscar nominations? Is this too unfair to other movies?"
"Titanic is indeed a big production that is more buzz-oriented, but the thoughts about society, human nature and emotions contained in it cannot be ignored. It has strong practical significance. I think the sixteen nominations are not too much at all about the discussion on the barriers of social classes and the display and discussion of the good and evil of human nature in the face of disasters."
The official statement is enough to suppress many doubts, of course, this is definitely not enough.
After all, for some people, they oppose it purely because of opposition.
Not to mention "Titanic", it is the so-called "Titanic" movie that was a veritable film of the Academy Awards that was truly the winner. In fact, after winning the award, it will also encounter many doubts!
Also, in fact, it may not be a bad thing to not win an award. To be honest, the movie itself is not as classic as it can be.
However, because "Shawshank Redemption" missed the Oscars, the hype was as fierce as a tiger, which directly raised the movie to the level of classics, even higher than the other Academy Award winners of that year!
To put it bluntly, Oscars are just a business!
In fact, Wang Yifan could have personally experienced the "business" brought by Oscar!
The box office potential of "Titanic" has actually been almost exhausted.
It's still released now, it's just symbolic.
However, after the Oscar nomination was announced, "Titanic" suddenly made a big move, and the box office rebounded sharply again. The number of theaters screened also increased steadily, and the box office continued to move towards a higher and farther record!
This is the charm of the Oscars, and it is why so many people chase Oscars.
Because, it is not only an award, but also the best publicity!
Chapter completed!
