Chapter 481 Encouragement
I have to admit that Harvey Weinstein is quite familiar with Oscar's tricks, and he can really pull off the tricks.
First of all, it needs to be explained that this year's Oscars are too focused on political correctness, and the nominations are generally niche. The overall standard is not very high, and the nominations are relatively average. It is actually not unexpected who can win the award.
More importantly, an important point needs to be drawn here - there is basically no big shot like Harvey Weinstein, there are only independent films competing. Relatively speaking, the off-site influencing factors are relatively small, and the competition is relatively small.
Be fair.
In addition, the themes of white and left-wing films are concentrated on political correctness. Moreover, the political correctness here is even more concentrated in the fields of immigrants, ethnic minorities and LGBTQIC (sexual minority groups). In the past, female boxing and environmental protection are no longer popular!
One thing to say is that as long as we push forward a dozen or twenty years, the political correctness at that time was still understood and supported by the people, and it was basically concentrated in the fields of female boxing and environmental protection.
Let’s talk about environmental protection! It was a fashionable topic back then. Elites and politicians from all walks of life joined in, and even extreme environmentalists who bumped boats on the sea and threw bombs caused trouble all over the world.
But for environmental protection? Everyone should generally support it, right? No one likes to breathe smog or drink contaminated water and food. Therefore, later on, environmental protection became the mainstream trend of thought, and it was not as good as those white leftists who want to attract attention and pursue
The effect of moral superiority.
Otherwise, will the environmentally friendly girl suddenly become famous in the future? After all, she is just an Internet celebrity. How can she be compared with celebrities, celebrities, celebrities, and elites?
If others play the remaining ones, they will already lose their status if they continue to play. Without those strong competitors, it is just a matter of time to become famous!
The same is true for women's boxing. It is definitely right to pursue equality between men and women. Nowadays, women's boxing has become the mainstream trend of thought. Of course, the future pastoral is a bit too much, that one is a stupid and bad idiot!
But back to the current field of immigration, ethnic minorities and LGBTQIC? Most people should be confused?
Why should those people be allowed to immigrate? Some countries are not immigration countries at all, and there will definitely be various social problems. I won’t go into the explanation here, since the controversy in this area is relatively large anyway.
Ethnic minorities do need equality, but they can't ride on the head of our dominant ethnic group. Moreover, they artificially create social divisions and label everyone. That is really not the pursuit of racial equality.
If you are interested, you can read "I Have a Dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King. Telling a joke, if Dr. King climbed out of the coffin now and saw the current state of European and American society? He would directly give advice to those so-called
The human rights leader gave me a slap in the face, and then lay back down!
Are they all a bunch of bastards who, instead of pursuing equal integration, use this to gain personal fame and fortune?
The same goes for LGBTQIC. Assholes actually don't care about that at all. Even if you like a pig, just be happy! Why do you drag it so hard every day? It's inexplicable!
In the end, LGBTQIC almost turned into a joke, and there were even more than 60 genders? Oh dear, please, please go directly to Mars! The earth can no longer accommodate you!
Therefore, are those judges really that white and left-wing? In fact, it is not necessarily true. Most of them are ordinary people with normal intelligence. They are just afraid of social death and cater to the mainstream white-left thinking in Hollywood.
When nominating, the judges will never object. But when it comes to actually voting, they still have their own preferences.
Finally, there are the Oscar judging rules.
Each judge has a ballot, and they will write the names of 12345 in order. If no one gets more than 50% of the first in the first round, all the votes of the five will be invalid, and their second choice will be added to the list.
1, and total statistics.
If there is still not 50%, then all the votes for four will be invalid, and all the second choices will be added to one. If neither the first nor the second choice is correct, then the third choice will be postponed...
And so on!
After understanding all this, you should know that if you want to win an Academy Award, unless you are popular, you can win with an absolute advantage in the first round. Once the nominated actors are almost the same, the second and third choices become more important.
This also makes sense. The Oscars would rather choose a mediocre second or third place, but also want to prevent any big controversy and maintain the authority of the Academy Awards.
After understanding this, you should know that "The Martian" has suddenly become an outlier at this year's Oscars. The others are all niche independent films, and only this film is a commercial blockbuster; the others are all inexplicable white left films.
Only this one is a normal science fiction romance film.
Anyway, it’s an anonymous vote. Even if you don’t give “The Martian” your first choice, then give it your second or third choice!
The other is compensation psychology. There are two factors here:
The first is the space version of "Titanic". To be honest, the "Titanic" back then was indeed a bit aggrieved. Such a movie did not win even a heavyweight award?
Although those judges are somewhat discriminatory, they also have eyes and understand that "Titanic" is definitely a classic. So let's make up for it here!
And there is Rong Guang's "Parasite". If others don't know, how can those judges not know? The original creator of "Parasite" is Rong Guang! Hollywood just took away all the credit from Rong Guang! In the end, he won the "Best Original Screenplay"
Didn't get it?
Forget it, just compensate his wife this time!
In the end, it’s what Harvey Weinstein said – the timing is right!
At this time, China Entertainment Movies was not a threat, and Hollywood didn't take it seriously at all. Moreover, the relationship between China and the United States was not bad, and there was no ill feeling toward China. Moreover, there were single films like "The Martian" with a box office of over 100 million US dollars.
, a Chinese market with unlimited potential? Everyone in Hollywood is trembling with excitement, so how about giving a vote to encourage it?
However, even so, Yuan Quan's votes are not actually the highest. There is still a lot of discrimination against non-English-speaking actors in Hollywood. But it can't be resisted and most of the judges gave it the second or third choice?
And there are more than 6,000 Oscar judges! It’s not like a film festival with only a dozen judges, where one judge may be able to decide the award. What matters here is that there is strength in numbers, and what matters is second and third place.
Three choices.
Therefore, those guests were so surprised. Maybe their first choice was not Yuan Quan, but they just gave him a second or third choice. They didn't think Yuan Quan had the possibility of winning the prize, it was just to encourage him.
Chapter completed!
