807. A record
Before he knew it, this was the 85th Academy Awards. For the Oscars, Ye Sumang was no longer the strange young man from the East, he was completely the owner of the place.
At this moment, no media will use the word "dark horse" to describe Ye Sumang and his works, and the names they are basically all used in "popular". In the eyes of many media and the public, some grand prizes should be what Ye Sumang deserves.
Of course, although everyone thinks that Ye Sumang is a natural thing to win the award and that it is not allowed to be the news, the media, who are good at discovering, still saw a lot of things worth reporting from the nomination list.
The most important thing is naturally the Best Director Award. Ye Sumang has never missed this award. This is also a super record in the history of the Oscars. In everyone's opinion, this is undoubtedly the award that Ye Sumang attaches most importance to, so the media will naturally not let it go.
And unlike previous years, there is another person who must be worth reporting on this year's Oscar Best Director Award, that is Ye Sumang's senior, Ang Lee, the only Chinese director who could truly gain a foothold in Hollywood before Ye Sumang!
This year he also has a super excellent work, and this work is also regarded as Ye Sumang's biggest competitor this year, one is called "The Fantasy Drift of Pi". This film is comparable to Ye Sumang's "Gravity" in terms of box office, influence, and even reputation.
The first time there were two Chinese directors in the same Oscars, and these two Chinese directors have produced such excellent works. European and American media, which have always been exclusive, have focused on reporting on this, not to mention Chinese media, and have already started to hype up the big picture with red eyes.
"The two movies are ultimately a fantasy-style expression technique, and they are also full of extremely profound meanings and connotations. However, in terms of shooting techniques, Ye Sumang is closer to the Hollywood rhythm, compact when it should be tight. Calm when it should be calm, while Ang Lee continues his usual techniques. It is unknown which of the two is better or worse..."
"This is an Oscar belonging to China. Ye Sumang and Ang Lee have brought the best movies of the year to the world. Although they are competitive with each other, they also prove the progress of our Chinese movies..."
Although many media have said a lot, the final comparison is still the same as each part of the discussion. After all, everyone's movies are so excellent. The Kyoto Entertainment News even made a unique comparison of the works and achievements of both sides over the years.
Of course, this is definitely beneficial to Ye Sumang.
Although Ang Lee is a senior, he is indeed unable to match Ye Sumang's performance on the Oscar stage. Whether in terms of the number of Best Director Awards, other categories, or even box office data, Ang Lee is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
This is also the reason why Ye Sumang was able to conquer the Oscars strongly. The results he achieved were really amazing. Not to mention Ang Lee, even Cameron was more than once privately sighing. Not to mention the future, the current Oscars already have Ye Sumang's place.
At the same time, as the youngest director in the world's top 10 box office, coupled with his huge net worth, it can be said that his popularity is definitely among the top three in the world's director circle.
Kyoto Entertainment News took out these things for comparison, and its intention was simply "a world can be seen", and it was "flattering" by Ye Sumang in a corner.
But as a veteran director, Ye Sumang's most successful director before entering the Oscars, and he is also a director who is also very lucky to win awards. Ang Lee is still favored by many people, especially the media in Baodao. He is simply trying his best to promote it, and the mainland media naturally cannot show weakness. Since the list was announced, the "verb war" between the two sides has not stopped for a moment.
Of course, most of the mainstream media are optimistic about Ye Sumang. After all, his fame is really bigger than Ang Lee in Europe and the United States at this moment, and the awards he won before also make him more convincing.
In addition, there was no upset on the list of Best Actor. Leonardo was shortlisted again, and this time it was seen by the media as the latest Leon Ando approached the Oscar. Although this "recently" has been mentioned many times, the media undoubtedly became much more sincere this time.
After all, "Gravity" is almost a single protagonist movie. Leonardo takes the lead throughout the whole process, and with Ye Sumang, a director who knows how to use the potential abilities of the actors, he almost fully utilizes all the advantages Leonardo has. If he can't win the award this time, he is afraid that Leonardo will no longer have hope for this award.
There is no surprise that the best soundtrack, best sound effect and best sound editing are also shortlisted, while the best photography, best editing, best original script and best supporting actress are also shortlisted.
I have to mention the Best Supporting Actress here. In fact, according to the content of the film, the role played by Kate Winslet is between the heroine and the supporting actress. She does the work of the heroine, but it is often the same as ordinary supporting actresses. It is obvious that Ye Sumang seems to have had the sweetness of her last time in "Social Network", so after asking for Kate's opinion this time, I directly submitted my Best Supporting Actress for her, but it did not disappoint Ye Sumang and was successfully shortlisted.
Moreover, with Kate's performance in the film and the popularity of this role, it is very likely that Kate will receive another gold coin at this Oscar, and the biggest opponent she needs to face is Anne Hathaway, who performed wonderfully in "Les Miserables".
In addition, the award for Best Visual Effects still does not escape Ye Sumang's palm. With the special effects shown in "Gravity", it can be said that if he is not shortlisted for this award, it will be the shady scene of "chiluo".
After being shortlisted for nine grand prizes, Ye Sumang did not disappoint anyone who liked his movies. Sure enough, Ye Sumang participated in the Oscars, he will always be the biggest favorite. Many of the odds rankings given by the bookmakers for the finalists won by Ye Sumang and his team are ranked first. It can be seen that the bookmakers are also very confident that Ye Sumang won the award.
After getting the list of awards, Ye Sumang habitually instructed his subordinate media and some media close to him to start building momentum. Even if he is as strong as Ye Sumang, this is also a necessary procedure. After all, the momentum of academy voting is often a factor that needs to be considered. Even if the influence does not account for an important proportion, Ye Sumang will still not ignore it.
In addition, Ye Sumang also agreed to two very popular talk shows in the United States for the first time, and held many activities on the company's website. In short, it was to mobilize all forces and strive for this last opportunity to work hard.
Time passes slowly, and it is getting closer and closer to the Oscars before we know it...
