Chapter 327: 1st Oscar
There is no doubt that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an oriental movie with not only artistic value, but also social value.
To make oriental martial arts enter such a classy hall as the Oscars, in a certain respect, Ann Lee's improvement and contribution to the quality and realm of Chinese movies is far greater than that of Bruce Lee and Jack Chen.
The relationship between literati and literati may also be related to Ann Lee's background. As an elite Asian director, his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was ridiculed by many insiders on the other side.
An oriental art filmed with western methods is simply flattering to Hollywood!
Many fifth-generation directors were dissatisfied. On the one hand, they complained about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". On the other hand, they also learned the Hollywood shooting skills. Frequent jokes.
No matter the feelings of the West or the skills of the East, gold will not be dusted!
Hollywood is the weather vane of the world's films. Even the Japanese films that the masters make frequently, and the commercial films are moving closer to Hollywood. It's not shameful to learn, but it's shameful that you have learned clearly, and you have the guts to say that you stick to yourself.
"The Return of the Great Sage", "Wolf Warrior", "Operation Red Sea"... Aren't the films that make the Chinese people scream again and again, imitating Hollywood's shooting skills?
There is no need to be conservative, those literati in the film industry on the other side... Don't say that the country's censorship system is too strict, this is nonsense!
Hollywood seems to have a rating system and the environment is very relaxed, but is this the truth?
Big mistake!
Hollywood's industry censorship is even stricter than the other side!
According to modern Western social theory, individuals have full power of expression, so the expression of art should not be censored and restricted by political power. In the United States, all other art forms are expressed and disseminated without systematic social censorship, but film is an exception.
On November 4, 1907, the Chicago city government passed the film censorship decree, and the governor has the right to ban films involving immoral, racial, religious and other content;
In 1915, the "Common Film Company v. Ohio Industrial Commission", after the Supreme Court's ruling, recognized that the film as an entertainment industry is not restricted by the freedom of expression clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution. The enforcement and legal recognition of the review.
Later, promoted by the American Film Producers and Distributors Association, the moral requirements written by a Catholic and put forward from the perspective of the church eventually evolved into a self-discipline standard for producers and distributors to control a series of behaviors of directors.
This is the famous "Hays Code"!
As the industry is self-disciplined, there will be some specific and public regulations, so that directors and producers can follow the rules and prevent them from going astray.
This is not an official review, and the results of the review are not legally binding, but none of the association's member distributors will release films that have not been reviewed. As all important publishers are members of the association. Failing to pass censorship means basically losing hope of commercial success.
This has led to this operating system, which can exist for a long time in the Hollywood system!
In the 21st century, there have been more and more such rules and regulations. When Dunn was filming "Titanic", his producer gave him a list of restrictions, and the expressions to be avoided... more than 300 items!
Basically, as long as it does not meet the values of Catholics, it is prohibited.
Of course, the other side is mainly constrained by national policies, and Hollywood is constrained by industry standards in the industry, but the restrictions on censorship are certain.
If film directors don't accept these complex and redundant censorship, then they can't enter the mainstream film circle, which is the rule.
No film director can overthrow the universal values that Hollywood has been operating for nearly a hundred years and led by Catholic thinking!
This is no different from the socialist values on the other side. They are all restrictive and restrict freedom, but the former has a wide audience, has been operating on a global scale for hundreds of years, and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; the latter is a niche.
Many literati on the other side blame the government for the film's bad film, and scoff at Director Ann Lee, who has made great achievements overseas. It's shameless!
Tang En's attitude towards "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not sour, not flattering, not jealous, not hated. He only knows that such a movie with a very oriental color has won 10 Oscar nominations, which is also a cause for all of us. The first mandarin-pronounced movie that the American society with such a fusion of cultures is looking at! (Two versions were released in the United States, English and Mandarin.)
This year's Oscars again presented a large-scale event.
In addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which received 10 nominations, there are also "Gladiator", which received 11 nominations, and "Soul Shifting Girl", which received 9 nominations. Of course, it also includes "Never Compromise", "Drug Web", A great movie like "Almost Famous".
Dunn sits with the cast of "Girls" with Natalie on the left and Nicole Kidman on the right.
Natalie was nominated for an Oscar for the first time, but she was much more relaxed than Nicole.
Her Oscar-nominated supporting actress is almost the least suspenseful award at this year's Oscars.
Nominated with her, Kate Hudson, Frances McDormand, Julie Walters, Marcia Gay Harden, no matter whether it is fame or influence, she has no strength to compete with her.
Relatively speaking, the competition for the Oscar-winning actress nominated by Nicole Kidman is too fierce!
Julia Roberts in "Never Say It", Juliette Binoche in "Chocolate", Ellen Boustin in "Requiem for a Dream", Laura in "Please Come Closer to Me" ·Linnie...Everyone, has a huge competitiveness.
Tang En didn't want to be captured by ABC radio and television in untimely scenes, he acted very well, covered his mouth, and whispered to Nicole next to him: "It doesn't matter if you don't win, don't forget, there is also "Beautiful Mind"! I promised you that I will definitely give you a best actress!"
Nicole Kidman forced a smile, a little stiff, "Thank you, you really think too much, I'm fine."
Dunn shook his head helplessly.
Yes, here is Oscar, who can let go?
...
However, the Organizing Committee of this year's Oscars obviously wants to push the suspense backwards. It is not like in the past, the first award will be awarded to the best supporting actress, starting with the technical award.
As the three most popular films of this year's Oscars, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Gladiator" and "Soul Shifting Girl", they all appeared and won the first three awards - Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best makeup.
After the three innocuous awards moved out, tonight's first highlight finally came.
Robert Downey and Kate Winslet appeared together as presenters.
"Have you watched "Drug Net"?" Robert Downey is somewhat similar to his son, and his mouth is very powerful.
Kate Winslet said elegantly: "Look, director Soderbergh did a good job~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Robert Downey frowned, "Is Britain really that messy? "
Kate Winslet was a little helpless, "No."
Robert Downey gave her a deep look up and down, and jokingly said, "I think this is for sure, because...there are only beautiful people in troubled times!"
Kate Winslet pursed her lips, "Thanks, but unfortunately you're not Clark Gable!"
In the sacred auditorium, there was a burst of laughter.
After the simple joke, Robert Downey got serious, "Okay, next, look at the nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay!"
Soon, a group of quickly edited short films appeared on the big screen behind. The five nominated films were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Drug Web", "Chocolate Lover", "Soul Shifting Girl", "Brother" ,Where are you? ".
Offstage, Natalie and Nicole Kidman stretched out their hands to hold Dunn's hand.
At this time, the broadcast footage of abc has been ignored.
The exciting time is coming!
Dunn was nominated for an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Girl Who Moved Souls!
Compared to the best director nomination for "Titanica" a few years ago, this is the closest he has come to an Oscar.
This is likely to be Dunn's first ever Oscar trophy!
Robert Downey opened the envelope, glanced at the names on the list, showed a smile as if he had realized it, and handed the list to Kate Winslet beside him very gentlemanly.
Kate Winslet took over the list, glanced at it, and immediately a rare bright smile bloomed on her face, like a spring flower blooming.
And her voice was also filled with excitement that could not be concealed: ""The Girl Who Moved Soul", Dunn Walker!"
