Chapter 180 Outpost (3/5)

Katherine knew very well that the biggest rival of "Pulp Novel" at the Oscars was always "Bomb Disposal Force".

As for "Avatar"?

Sorry, that's a science fiction movie!

In addition to technical awards, science fiction movies are basically unavailable in Oscars...

Have there been several science fiction movies in history that have won the Best Oscars? Let me tell you, the answer is 0!

Even Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Dr. Strange Love" were voted;

"Blade Runner", "Terminator 2", "Star Wars", "Alien E.T.", "Tao Planet" and other science fiction classics have never won the Oscars. How could "Avatar" be obtained?

James Cameron, a typical technical commercial director.

Even Spielberg made several art films such as "Purple" and "Sun Empire", and Cameron has always played with things he is interested in.

In addition to "Titanic", he won the Oscar for Best Director once - because the film happens to be the epic and love route that Oscar likes more, Cameron is basically not the Oscar's cup of tea.

Looking at this year's nominations, "Avatar" and "The Ninth District" are basically science fiction, and cartoons like "Flying House" are naturally cannon fodder;

The rest are "Cherish", "In the Cloud", "Growth Education", "Weakness", "Serious Men" and "Bomb Disposal Force"!

Except for "In the Cloud" and "Serious Man", several other films are very weak, have a small structure, and have no unique artistic characteristics.

"Serious Man" can only be considered a low-level and a skit in the Coen Brothers films. Although "In the Cloud" is good, it still lacks the overwhelming power that the Oscars need, and it is also a skit-style movie with a light comedy feel.

Before the Oscars, "Bomb Defence Force" had swept the Radio Critics Association Awards, the New York Critics Association Awards, the Los Angeles Critics Association Awards, the Golden Satellite Awards and Gotham Independent Film Awards, etc., and was selected into the American Film Association's Top Ten Years, Time Magazine's Top Ten Films, and the French Film Manual's Top Ten Years.

The limelight is extremely strong.

So, the only chance for "Pulp Novel" to win the Oscar is the union award!

After analyzing it, I communicated with Zhang Junsheng for another half an hour and decided to bet on the director's union - the director's level of "The Bomb Demolition Force" is not high!

But, Katherine Bigelow has one of the biggest advantages - she is a female director!

If the Oscar awards her the best director, she will be the first woman in history to win the best director!

Originally, Zhang Junsheng also had the opportunity to compete for the first place in history, but unfortunately, Li An had already taken the lead and became the first Asian to win the best director - Kurosawa Akira won the Lifetime Achievement Award!

A missing gimmick will have a great impact!

Moreover, if Catherine Bigro wins the award, it is in line with the law of conservation - Cameron and his ex-wife will always win the award...

It is like the law of conservation of singleness: the total amount of singleness always remains unchanged, and singleness will neither arise out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It will only transfer from one person to another.

However, Zhang Junsheng is very popular, especially his speech at the Golden Globes, which has completely fascinated many American audiences...

American audiences generally think he is very real...

I can only say that the aesthetic aesthetics are quite weird. You think they like Jennifer Lawrence's "no pretense"...

Director Zhang's words attracted fans...

...

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Junsheng led Yuehua's public relations team to join Catherine!

The Union Award is about to be awarded, and the firepower is ongoing!

"In fact, watching 10 movies like "Bomb Demolition Force" feels the same as watching 10 movies. It is hard to imagine that such movies have received so many praises. If the director was not Cameron's ex-wife, could "Bomb Demolition Force" still receive so many praises?"

"To be honest, "The Bomb Disposal Force" is too mediocre! War is a drug, we are all victims. The film is realistic but not profound, the pace is too slow and lacks climax. The Iraqis in the eyes of the US military are still cruel and incomprehensible, and it is not as profound as "Excerpt Revision". The last 20 minutes were pretentious. I don't like Iraqi war movies myself, but this is indeed the best work of Catherine Bigelow, but her movies are always short of what they are. If you award the award to her for these, it is a blasphemy to the movie!"

"It's not that I discriminate against female directors. At least this movie is really a bit so I feel like I didn't grasp the key points at all. I understand that the director wants to play a realistic game, but the pace is too slow, lacks climax and change. The tension and cruelty of the war are basically not filmed, and the creation of several characters is powerless. Inexplicably persisted and inexplicably sacrificed. I almost fell asleep during the watching period. I don't understand why I was nominated for the Golden Globe Award. Shouldn't the movie be watched by the movie itself?"

"To be honest, "The Bomb Demolition Force" is pretty bad..."

The Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, in addition to traditional media, there is also the Internet!

He directly spent 20 million US dollars!

Paralysis, even if I spend money to buy it, I still have to buy the best director!

I am rich, what are I afraid of!

Are you embarrassed to say that your dad is not in a high position?

"In Cannes, Zhang Junsheng used a movie called "Crazy Stone" to tell all filmmakers that the narrative techniques of movies are far more than single-line narratives! "Pulp Novel" also tells all audiences that stories are the king and movies should be interesting!"

"I don't understand why anyone says "Pulp Novel" is meaningless. Movies are movies! If you want to see a good story, who cares about the connotation. Use popular voice to describe the deconstruction of contemporary popular things. What supports these jokes is nothing more than violence, sex and cold jokes. Jokes in absurd environments are always charming."

"The narrative is exquisite and not boring. The dialogue is like a cannon, but it makes people want to listen or even talkatively with the characters. The script is cool enough, the characters are unique enough, and there is an alternative rock flavor from beginning to end!"

Once the main competitors are clarified, public opinion will be much easier to deal with!

Fight against "Bomb Disposal Force" and raise yourself by the way.

Yuehua's usual routine first occupied the high ground in public opinion!

Then it was time for Catherine to show her power.

Using his connections, Catherine organized the judges to watch the movie, and an average of $100,000 was spent on a film for the scheduled screening.

Not only that, in order to cooperate with the award-winning awards, "Pulp Novel" was released again, with not many theaters opening, 700, and the box office in two weeks was less than 8 million US dollars...

The Oscar voting committee has 6,028 members, of which 77% are male and only 23% are female, with an average age of 62 years old.

Katherine targets the men among them, and they are not those who are over 70 years old...

She knew that most of the votes for Bomb Demolition Force were women!

Those over 70 years old will definitely not be accustomed to "Pulp Novels"...

Then don’t fight for it!

She chose to be between the ages of 30 and 50, and most of them are people with the right to speak in the industry!

The effect is significant.

The three major union awards, the director union awarded the best director to Zhang Junsheng, and the Actors Union awarded the best supporting actor and the best actress to Samuel Jackson and Natalie Portman respectively…

As for the producer union, time is too hasty and cannot be solved...

Zhang Junsheng is already very satisfied...
Chapter completed!
