Chapter 395 Nominations for the 26th Academy Awards
It can be said that the visions of both parties are no longer the same. Now the media's expectations for Wang Zhengfei are not to rush out of China and go global. Instead, they have listed two specific goals. The first one is when to make a movie that will have an annual box office.
The first movie to win, and the second one is when it will get Oscar gold plating.
Amid all this commotion, another major event in the entertainment industry, the nomination list for the Academy Awards has finally come out.
After the first round of voting for the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards, a grand press conference was held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center on the afternoon of February 20 to announce the shortlist of nominees for this year's Film Awards.
This year's Hong Kong Film Awards can be said to be particularly eye-catching. In 2006, the annual production of Hong Kong films was less than 40. In January 2007, the "Film Fortnightly" that founded the Hong Kong Film Awards ceased publication. "Hong Kong Film Weekly"
Questions like "Are movies dead?" have appeared many times in major media, deeply hurting the hearts of countless Hong Kong film lovers. A few years ago, some people have been clamoring that Hong Kong films can be burned with incense and paper, but Wang Zhengfei feels that
In fact, Hong Kong cinema is still alive, just a little out of breath.
Therefore, this year's Academy Awards are particularly eye-catching, and the competition for this year's Academy Awards is also extremely fierce, including "The City of Gold", "The Banquet", "Underworld 2", "Fearless",
"Father and Son", "Qinshi Mingyue", etc. are all favorites to win the championship. There is no doubt that the first one to win the limelight is Lao Mouzi's "A City of Golden Armor". "A City of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yimou won the
Fourteen nominations including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actor, and Best Supporting Actor stole the show.
Among them, "Qin Shi Mingyue", which Wang Zhengfei received the most attention, was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Action Design, and Best Original Film.
Fourteen awards including music, best original film song, best photography, best editing, best art direction, best costume design, best sound effects, best visual effects, are no less popular than "
"A City of Gold" is worse, but the reason why it is not as popular as Lao Mouzi is because, it can be said that Wang Zhengfei's "Qin Shi Mingyue" was well received by the public, both at the box office and at the Academy Awards.
The performance on the film is basically relatively normal, and Lao Mouzi can stand out from the crowd and become a film alongside Wang Zhengfei. This is the focus of countless people's attention. In terms of box office results, "The Golden Armor" is indeed good
, of course, putting aside the monster Wang Zhengfei, it is indeed good, but to be able to win fourteen awards alongside "Qin Shi Mingyue" at once is undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.
However, everyone did not support Wang Zhengfei and "Qin Shi Mingyue" unanimously, because "Qin Shi Mingyue" proved at last year's Academy Awards that it was not very 'favored', and it was not a representative after being given so many nominations.
Beloved, this time "Qin Shi Mingyue" comes again with a fierce momentum. Basically, whether it is the annihilation of the entire army, a complete victory, or other situations, it all depends on everything.
It is expected and reasonable, because the Academy Awards has made it clear that Hong Kong films will be supported. Although "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been qualified to participate in the Academy Awards, it does not mean that it
Although it is recognized as a Hong Kong movie, in fact everyone classifies "Qin Shi Mingyue" as a Mainland movie. This movie looks like a Mainland movie both inside and out.
At the last Academy Awards, "Qin Shi Mingyue" was originally so powerful that it was nominated for 14 times, but in the end it only won nine awards, and the only heavyweight awards were Best Actor and Best Picture.
There are two awards, and the others are almost all technical awards, which is equivalent to telling you directly that your "Qin Shi Mingyue" is nothing remarkable, it is just relying on strong technology, and "Qin Shi Mingyue" is just an imitation.
It's just a Chinese-style blockbuster made out of Hollywood blockbusters. They have never really valued it at all. They just think that the stunts in Wang Zhengfei's "Qin Shi Mingyue" are good. It's just that the stunts are good. From the action design and the final
This can be seen from the fact that the best scripts have fallen by the wayside. It can be seen that the Academy Awards actually do not like Wang Zhengfei very much. He has no qualifications and is an outsider. At least that is what it seems.
Overall, there will definitely be a fight between the two films. Basically, these two films are the big hits this time, and most of the awards should go to these two films.
Closely related to Wang Zhengfei personally, and extremely important are undoubtedly the Best Actor and Best Director.
This time the title of Best Director can be said to be the biggest and most star-studded award. This award should also be the most difficult to predict. Both Tony Leung and Chow Yun-fat have challenged and subverted their own conventions in their respective films.
It’s hard to say whether Aaron Kwok and Liu Qingwan will win their first Academy Awards. It shouldn’t be surprising which one wins this award, because these are all actor-level actors. I’m afraid no one will win this award.
will be suspicious.
Needless to say, Wang Zhengfei was the best actor at the last Academy Awards, and he won the best actor throne with "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1", and this time he comes with a second film with great momentum. Can he defend his throne?
This is also a big point to watch, basically it can be said to be confusing, because none of these people are weak.
Wang Zhengfei didn't have much confidence in his heart. In fact, he had already won it once last time with "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1". It was an advantage and a disadvantage. There was no way he would award it to anyone else.
Then there is the Best Director that I didn’t get last time. It was also a mess and the competition was fierce. Tan Jiaming’s "Father and Son" has been so popular from the Golden Horse Awards to the Academy Awards. How can it be so easy to deal with, and Johnnie To was the winner of the previous award.
But what Wang Zhengfei is more interested in is that Johnnie To slapped the Academy Awards hard last time, and this one was nominated. Regardless of the reason, it is still good, while Zhang Zhiliang's "Ink Attack" will be worse.
, the most powerful opponent is undoubtedly Zhang Yimou's "The Golden Armor", and it is also the only film that can be compared with Wang Zhengfei in terms of nomination awards. Needless to say, its popularity in winning awards is also a
Wait a minute.
And Wang Zhengfei had better wait for a Best Commercial Film Director Award. If there is such an award, then he will undoubtedly win it. If you only look at the box office, everyone is not in the same weight class. Wang Zhengfei should have given up long ago.
I’m going to blame everyone else, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Whether a good movie is good enough or not, box office is only one of the factors. Not only movies with good box office are good movies, if the Academy Awards don’t want to be scolded
If he died, there would probably be no awards like the Best Commercial Film Director Award.
So Wang Zhengfei has to continue to remind him like this and wait in fear to see if it will hit him. He didn't get it last year, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much hope this year.
Among the remaining awards, Wang Zhengfei is more concerned about the two awards of Best Actress and Best Picture.
This is the second time Liu Yifei has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Judging from her age of just 20 years old, this is undoubtedly a very impressive achievement. However, no one is convinced that she can win the Best Actress crown.
I'm very optimistic that last time Zhou Xun's "If Love" appeared strongly, and this time there is a new film "The City of Golden Armor" by international movie queen Gong Li.
Gong Li was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for "Terracotta Warriors" and "Feng Yue", but unfortunately she lost both times. After 10 years, she once again starred in "The City of Golden Armor" directed by her old love and old partner Zhang Yimou.
"Nominated for the Academy Award. Gong Li is worthy of being an international superstar. Years of hard work in Hollywood have made her more and more like an international star. This time, she once again joined hands with Lao Mouzi. The film has not even started filming yet, but it has created a lot of excitement.
With few gimmicks, Gong Li's performance in "Golden Armor" is remarkable.
But what is interesting is that there is now a rumor. However, the media reported that they had received accurate information from the organizing committee. Gong Li was determined not to attend the Academy Awards ceremony. When the staff talked about the reason, they said it was because "there were no bookings that met her requirements."
hotel, so I stopped coming." Gong Li's assistant Li Yanyan also said before that she "didn't pay much attention to the Academy Awards and will wait until she knows about the award." Rumors of Gong Li's acting as a big name spread all over the place.
In Wang Zhengfei's impression, it is true that Gong Li did not participate in this Academy Awards, but he just smiled at this statement. Everyone knows that Gong Li has her own home in Hong Kong, and she usually lives in her own home when attending events in Hong Kong.
At home, there is no such thing as not staying in a hotel, but Wang Zhengfei still feels that Gong Li's assistant is very bad at being a good person, and that's the problem.
Facing Gong Li, who is too powerful for Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei's situation is indeed not good, but with the honor of being nominated for two Academy Awards, it is enough for Liu Yifei to break away from the ranks of her peers from the beginning, although it is not yet
Compared with Wang Zhengfei, who is so outstanding, there is no doubt that he is extremely advanced.
Among the remaining best picture awards, there are actually many strong opponents such as the famous "Father and Son", Johnnie To's "Underworld 2", "The Golden Jacket" and "Fearless".
, Wang Zhengfei is not worried about "A City of Golden Armor" because they are both commercial films. If commercial elements are taken into consideration, "A City of Golden Armor" was completely defeated by "Qin Shi Mingyue", so the most troublesome thing is "A City of Golden Armor".
"Father and Son" is a literary film. I don't know what the judges will think about it, so it is the most unreasonable opponent!
