On March 22, Haomeng Company and his group left the capital and headed to Los Angeles. This year's Oscars will be held in three days.

Major domestic media sent journalists to get first-hand news.

Time.com and Penguin jointly launched an Oscar topic.

Industry experts including Zheng Dongtian, a professor at the School of Film, were invited to interpret the Oscar in detail, so that domestic audiences can further understand the award.

For example, some netizens asked how to view the domestic Oscar complex.

Zheng Dongtian believes that all countries with many American movies released have Oscar complexes, not unique to China.

In other words, with the advantages of the United States' politics, economy, military and culture in the world, everything in the United States will receive more attention.

This is an inevitable trend.

Moreover, the Oscar is not only a tool of public opinion, but also creates economic value.

There are now more than one billion viewers around the world watching the live broadcast of the Oscars on TV.

Currently, the highest cost of television broadcasting is the World Cup, the second is the Olympics, and the third is the Oscars.

The annual funding of the Academy, including the award ceremony, is earned back in one night's broadcast.

Of course, they have to do a lot of work and a lot of publicity every year. There are a series of screenings from the announcement of nominations to the awards ceremony, and American movies are being released all over the world.

Another very important factor is the influence of American big stars and their position in the minds of the audience.

In this way, the Oscar became the best in the world and became a symbol.

In fact, the Oscars are still a country, expanded to one language, and it is just a film festival for English films, and foreign language films are a very small one.

In the past, foreign language films could not participate in individual competitions, but now they are OK, but there are few nominations.

This time, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", almost no other foreign language films have been awarded single nominations, so the Oscar does not represent the highest level in the world or the final competition in the film industry.

However, its influence and grade are two concepts, and Oscars are incomparable to other film festivals in terms of influence.

Everyone hopes that their works will have an influence. The places where discs are sold in China are Oscar classic series, and the places where books are published are Oscar treasure houses.

This is an obligation to promote Americans.

Some netizens asked whether film festivals like the Oscar can be held in China, which are not official film festivals, but are sponsored by the Film Academy and operate according to the rules of the Oscar.

Zheng Dongtian explained that the Academy of Oscars is also called the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences.

It is not a school, but a non-profit professional organization dedicated to promoting the development of film art and is an institution of the film union.

If you can't hold such a large film festival in China, you simply don't have money. Just this night at the award ceremony, you will have to spend about 50 million US dollars.

At present, such an award evaluation mechanism cannot be formed in China.

For example, although the domestic Golden Bull Award is also voting, it does not have so many awards that allow the audience to vote. The audience is not professional and cannot vote.

However, if experts come to judge the award, they will be subject to many constraints.

In addition, Chinese films have little influence in world movies. The United States can achieve this level, which has a lot to do with the influence of American films in the world.

Some netizens suggested that domestic movies are not good at directors, but the environment and funds are not good at it.

Zheng Dongtian doesn't think so, he doesn't think it's OK.

Someone once said that I could also shoot "Titanic" for 200 million US dollars. This is not realistic. Movies are an industry, and producing such products requires huge technical support.

Industrial things with technical support cannot be attributed to the talents of a director or actor.

This is not about how much money it costs, but about the fact that there is no industrial foundation in China.

Some netizens also suggested that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can only be nominated for an Oscar to cater to Western audiences. Will you make movies to cater to Western audiences or films?

Zheng Dongtian felt that according to his own conditions, his main target of filming was Chinese, and he would not say which movie was mainly made for foreigners.

Li An is not actually a Chinese director. He is an American director. Most of his works are filmed abroad, and they are filmed abroad, and they are film education in the United States.

None of these were formed in a day or two.

Perhaps there will be some films in China in the future. It is not a bad thing to say that the main audience of these films are foreigners or the new generation of directors. Their careers are more open and they have a better understanding of the needs of foreign audiences. It is not a bad thing, and it is also very good.

That is the situation that only occurs after Chinese films have a certain share and position in the world market.

Some netizens mentioned that Lin Zixuan was nominated for the best adapted script, and is there any possibility of winning the award?

Zheng Dongtian bluntly stated that Lin Zixuan is unlikely to win the award, and the script includes original and adapted.

The adapted script contains the wisdom and creative labor of the original author, but as a film award, it cannot be given to the original author, so an adapted script is set up separately.

The nomination committee and voters for this award are both very professional dramatists. When nominating, you should compare the original script and the video to discuss it.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts novel with no English version, which adds difficulty to the judges' judgment, and it is difficult for the judges to judge the effect of the adaptation.

They read the script in the English version, not the original novel, and probably cannot understand the meaning of martial arts novels.

Since that's the case, it's better to choose a script that they can understand and make easy judgments.

Therefore, Lin Zixuan's chance of winning the award is very small.

There are many topics to talk about Oscars, and the media reports every year that this year, due to the nomination of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the development of the Internet, the reporting efforts have increased significantly.

Lin Zixuan came to Los Angeles and checked into a hotel.

Some publicity activities will be arranged in the following two days to meet Hollywood filmmakers.

That night, Lin Zixuan and Li An chatted in a hotel, from nearly two years since he came to the United States in 1999 to invite Li An to direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

During this period, they had conflicts and disputes, and they also cooperated tacitly.

When talking about the past, the two were quite emotional and felt like they were separated by the end of the song.

After the grand Oscar ceremony, Li An stayed in the mainstream film industry in Hollywood, and Lin Zixuan returned to the mainland to continue to develop, and the next cooperation was nowhere to be achieved.

They looked at the brightly lit Los Angeles through the glass windows of the hotel room, and were speechless for a moment.

On March 24, the American Film Independence Spirit Awards were awarded a list of winners. This award is usually issued the day before the Oscar, and has a certain wind effect on the Oscars.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Best Picture and Best Director, while Xu Jinglei won the Best Supporting Actress.

The prelude to the Oscar ends here and the award ceremony will officially begin tomorrow.
