1414. Awards are never that important
Although movies have been used as a commodity since their birth, they are also called the Seventh Art.
However, with the development of the times, gradually, films began to be divided into commercial films and artistic films.
Business and art have always been opposites.
If a movie is sold well, it will definitely be labeled as a commercial label for the vast majority of times.
Because art has always been a minority, art has always been a niche, never a popular one.
The movie’s big sale means that the movie has won the public’s recognition, so is this still art?
The same is true for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural". This movie is obviously full of potential, and the screenwriter of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is Wang Yifan.
Although Wang Yifan won the Academy Award for Best Director.
But in fact, what happened to "Titanic" winning the award? Everyone knows that it is definitely not because of the artistic component of "Titanic" and how high the artistic achievements are.
But when a movie has a record box office, then business will in turn influence the so-called art.
After all, even though Oscars claim to be the palace of art, in fact, the operating model of Oscars is very commercial.
Therefore, in fact, Wang Yifan won the award, but in fact, he would not be labeled as an art director. On the contrary, many people believe that Wang Yifan is the most successful representative in business.
Because, he used commercial films to force Oscar's art to compromise with business.
Similarly, Jack Curtis, his name as a billion-dollar director, is naturally a commercial film director.
As we all know, whether it is a director or an actor.
In fact, those so-called literary and artistic people are all obviously discriminatory.
For example, Little Little Lion in his previous life.
He is naturally not favored by the Oscars, otherwise he would not have acted ugly and finally won the award from a creamy boy to a middle-aged greasy man!
This is because Little Lizi has been kneeling down and licking the Oscars. He proved with practical actions that he was pursuing art.
If Jack Curtis wants to win the Oscar for Best Director again, he also has to make a real art film and a real niche film.
No, one may not be enough because it can't make those old guys think that you're really pursuing Oscars.
"The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is obviously not a so-called niche film. This movie naturally cannot win the recognition of the award.
Of course, directors who are at the level of Wang Yifan and Jack Curtis actually do not pay as much attention to Oscar as Little Little, and even become obsessed with it.
Jack Curtis also won the Oscar, so the award is not really that important to him.
Similarly, Oscars are not that important for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural".
Because, the big sale of this movie has almost become a foregone conclusion, and the audience's reputation is very popular.
Even those critics who boast about art have to praise this movie, which is a successful commercial film, but lacks artistic elements.
Therefore, Oscars have always been the icing on the cake for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" rather than a timely help.
In fact, the reason why Oscars have such great influence has never been because of how high and pure the artistic achievements of this award are, but because Oscars are a brand of awards.
Yes, it is the brand. This brand is done well enough and has a great influence.
And how did the influence come about?
Why do so many movies flock to this award?
But it is ironic that once this award is won, it will bring great benefits to the movie.
In the end, it was also about speaking with commercial things.
In fact, in Hollywood, the best actor is not as respected as many people think!
Haven’t you seen many actors or actresses who have experienced huge declines in their careers after winning the Oscars?
To put it bluntly, it was just being fooled.
"Is Oscar really not that important?" Chen Shaojun was a little confused.
Yes, in fact, for many domestic directors, Oscar is really the highest honor I have always dreamed of.
Yes, although I don’t say it, in fact, the influence is indeed so.
"It depends on what you think. You have to know that when Chinese people have not won the three major European countries, the influence of the three major European countries may not be worse than the Oscars, and it is even better than that." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"When a domestic director wins awards from any of the three major film festivals in Europe, you will find that there will be a lot of tap water in China to help you praise this award, and they will even disdain for the Oscars and think that the Oscars are not pure."
After hearing this, Chen Shaojun thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case.
"In fact, the reason is very simple. In the early years, our Chinese film market was very small. It can be said that making movies is a loss-making business. So how can you make money? Go abroad to win awards and win awards, then foreign money will be sold. So more and more people started making movies, which were prepared for these film festivals."
"When there are more people who win awards at these film festivals, you will find that in addition to the fact that when you win awards, the media and the public will be carnival, the other time, it is actually directly ignored. In fact, many of us have become famous in our country and won such awards, but now we may not be able to do it very well. Therefore, awards are really the icing on the cake."
"Why do you say that? Because when you are not famous, winning an award will certainly make you famous, but this reputation will often limit your own development. Because after you win the award, you will become an international actor and an international actor. Will your value also rise? But in fact, the box office appeal has not increased much. For investors, at most it is just a gimmick.
But for the actors themselves, after winning the award, do you choose to continue to work in literary and artistic movies or switch to commercial movies?
If you continue to work hard on literary and artistic movies, then as long as you don’t continue to win awards, it is not a success. However, winning awards continuously is not realistic. However, when it comes to commercial movies, there is another problem. Winning awards does not mean that your real strength or acting skills are higher than others, and your box office appeal is not much related to the awards. Then, it will become a little embarrassed at this time."
"Of course, it's not that winning awards is useless. At least when you succeed, your award will become a solid foundation for your background."
Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Actually, this is really not difficult to understand.
In his previous life, Xia Yu could be said to be the youngest actor at the Venice Film Festival.
But the activity and popularity are obviously not matched by the awards he won, and even Xia Yu's presence in the entertainment industry is extremely slim.
Therefore, awards are not life-saving medicine, nor are they as important as imagined!
