Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 882 Strengths and Weaknesses Are Relative

"Don't tell me, if "When Happiness Comes Knocking" didn't win the best picture at the Oscars, but won it at the Cannes Film Festival, it would be really interesting~"

"Haha, it's really comedic, it's a bit embarrassing..."

"Oscar is more well-known in the eyes of the general public, but in terms of professionalism, it is better than the top three in Europe. If this really happens, Oscar will indeed be very embarrassed, and it is also the most extreme slap in the face."

Some netizens didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and they discussed this extremely ironic scene, and because everyone was Chinese, they were looking forward to seeing this happen.

"I have a question. The three major European film festivals have a rigid standard, that is, they can only premiere in the region, and it must be released to the world for the first time at the film festival. This is the qualification for a competition to be shortlisted. "When Happiness Come Knock" obviously does not comply with this rule, does it?"

Someone questioned, asked questions.

"It seems to be like this. I went to look at the selection criteria of the three major European competitions. There is indeed this one. The three majors are all the same. They must be world premiered at the film festival. This is to prevent a film from participating in different competitions multiple times. For film festivals, because the dates of the three major European festivals are different, some people did this before, and this rule was added later.”

After popular science, ordinary netizens know the reason.

According to this theory, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" does not belong to the shortlisted works. After all, it premiered in the United States and China together, spanning two regions!

Advertise, 【 \\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app \\\\ 】It’s really good, it’s worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!

It is understandable to participate in the Oscars, because if it premieres in that region, it must be eligible to be selected for the film festival in that region.

The main reason is that they cannot participate in film festivals outside the region, because they will be screened at film festivals, which is equivalent to completing the world premiere, and naturally they are not eligible to be shortlisted for the top three in Europe.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was nominated for an Oscar, but it also premiered in the United States, and the production region is also the United States, so it fully complies with the regulations.

The main point of controversy lies in whether the simultaneous premiere in China is counted as a world release.

Not to mention that the netizens didn't understand, even Lu Fang was a little surprised.

When Chen Mubai asked him to submit "When Happiness Comes Knocking" to the Cannes Film Festival, he didn't expect it to be a real success, which made him have some associations.

"Why can we be shortlisted in Cannes?"

Tao Yaoyao had been studying the script during this time, and found Chen Mubai on a date during the break.

It happened that things about the Cannes Film Festival on the Internet became more and more intense, and she didn't understand why she was shortlisted.

Chen Mubai saw Tao Yaoyao's big bright eyes looking at him curiously, and said with a smile: "I just tried it, I didn't expect it to be successful, but it succeeded, which verified my guess."

Tao Yaoyao became more and more confused.

"Under normal circumstances, we are not eligible to be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but this work is quite special, and I have been treated unfairly this time and stood up to fight. I am not representing myself, but everyone who is like me. All practitioners do not want the film festival to become darker.”

"Although there is no absolute fairness, there must be relative fairness. This is also the reason why the film festival can be held for a long time without decline. In addition, the popularity of the three major European film festivals is not as good as the Oscars. This is an operational problem. The more you forget about them and think the Oscars are better."

"The judges of all film festivals are nothing more than people from the film and television industry of all countries in the world. All countries have relations. Huaxia must support me. Presumably the government has also played a role in promoting this matter, plus three The big itself doesn't want its influence to get worse, so this time it's just a chance to suppress Oscar and curb their momentum."

"Once I can actually win an award,

Indeed, this is also the best humiliation for Oscar, and it can also make Oscar negative, which is good for them. "

After Chen Mubaitiao's analysis, Tao Yaoyao understood the reason of the matter.

"No wonder!" she sighed.

Chen Mubai said with a smile: "So I said good luck, I will try it too, if a dead horse is a living horse doctor, there will be no loss anyway."

This is a game at the capital level. There is also competition between any film festivals. Otherwise, why can’t the three major film companies participate in the other as long as their works have world premieres at the film festival?

In essence, I still hope that the work can choose one of them to participate in, so as to prove that its attractiveness and influence are stronger than other film festivals!

This is potential competition!

All film festivals hope that their reputation will be bigger, wider and more professional.

Compared with the Oscars, the three major aspects are better. After all, the core focus of the works is different, and the entries can be selected according to their own characteristics.

The Oscars have been too popular in recent years, which is inseparable from the strong national power of the United States. The historical background is not as good as the three majors, but it has surpassed them in terms of influence. As a veteran and powerful film festival, it is naturally sullen.

This time, it is an excellent opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for them to turn around.

Coupled with Huaxia's push from behind, the judges were already unhappy with the Oscars, and coupled with the wandering relationship, they naturally accepted "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up: "Since that's the case, the judges at the Cannes Film Festival will definitely recommend your work, so that it will have a greater impact on the Oscars. If you can win the best film (Palme d'Or), it is simply It is to punish it publicly!"

Speaking of this, Tao Yaoyao became more and more excited. It was the first time that they felt that the awards were so close to them, especially the Cannes Film Festival, one of the world-renowned three major film festivals in Europe!

You know, since Chen Mubai made his debut, there have been countless good films, but only one "Buried Alive" turned out, and he actually performed the whole process by himself in a coffin, which won the Venice Golden Lion Award!

That movie was good, but nowhere near that good.

If it weren't for the novelty of being able to support a movie performance by one person, I'm afraid it would be difficult to win the Golden Lion Award.

In addition to the quality, the core of the story, and the acting skills of the actors, the selection of awards is indispensable to surprise the judges.

"Buried Alive" has given too many surprises to the judges. Everyone has never seen a film performed by one person, so it has conquered the hearts of many judges.

If there have been works of this type before, I am afraid that with the quality of "Buried Alive", it will be difficult to win the Golden Lion Award.

It can be said that "Buried Alive" won the award to a large extent because it created a "genre"!

It can be regarded as a pioneering work with a high artistic content.

Chen Mubai shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If Cannes really did this, then they wouldn't be the world's top film festival."

"This kind of film festival has its own pride and will not put down its figure to cater to the audience. Otherwise, they can also do what the Oscars do. What they want to create is a maverick figure. The Oscars will also consider commerciality. It is completely in line with literature and art, which is why in the film and television industry, the three major awards are more valuable than the Oscars, and the Oscars are only more famous among ordinary people."

"For them, getting my work shortlisted is just a blow to the Oscars. As for whether they can get a work, it depends on the quality of the work, but we do have an advantage."

In terms of selection, it still depends on the authenticity of the works.

It doesn't mean that Chen Mubai will win the award if he is shortlisted, it just means that he is given a chance.

However, in terms of works, if the relationship between competitors is not so strong and the quality of the works is similar, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" will be more popular.

In essence, there is no absolute fairness. Everyone has something to do with each other, so it depends on hard power. If the quality of the works is similar, then it depends on the background!

Tao Yaoyao is very optimistic: "In any case, compared to the first time we participated in the Venice Film Festival, our chances of winning this time are still very high. This film has won many awards at the Oscars as proof, and this film The film's box office performance was very high, and it aroused a heated discussion at the beginning, which is an influence that cannot be ignored."

In "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Tao Yaoyao also played a cameo role, so she is very happy and honored that her work won an award.

This time, Chen Mubai agreed with Tao Yaoyao's words, indeed.

"The film festival will open in a few days, you can come with me then." Chen Mubai said with a smile.

When Tao Yaoyao heard about it, a sly look flashed across her beautiful big eyes: "No, I want to learn etiquette and prepare for "Titanic"!"

Chen Mubai who was rejected was a little surprised, but he didn't want to understand why Tao Yaoyao didn't agree.

Although she has been studying etiquette and studying scripts, it has been such a long time, so she doesn't mind losing two days.

He looked at Tao Yaoyao blankly, and found that she was looking at him narrowly.

Acting like a baby? ......Chen Mubai understood Tao Yaoyao's meaning.

So he did everything he could, and deliberately pretended to be difficult and said, "Okay..."

"I almost forgot about it. It's true that "Titanic" is more important. We have to make full preparations for this movie. Then I can only find other actresses to walk the red carpet."

Tao Yaoyao's narrow smile froze on her face, only to hear that Chen Mubai hadn't finished speaking:

"I don't know who I'm looking for this time. There are a few new Huadans in Huaxia who have contacted me to go to the Cannes Film Festival together. There are also two movie queens who will also participate this time. Foreign supermodels and world-renowned actresses are all He sent an invitation to me, but I don't know who to choose..."

Chen Mubai deliberately spoke very softly, as if he was muttering to himself, but in fact the volume was just enough for Tao Yaoyao to hear.

Tao Yaoyao's smile was gone, her fists were clenched tightly, her silver teeth were clenched tightly, her eyebrows were erect, and her eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

"You are not allowed to approach those people!" Tao Yaoyao snorted angrily.

"I just suddenly remembered that the etiquette teacher has something to do at home, and he is going to be on vacation for a few days. I have time to accompany you."

We must not let these people have the opportunity to get close to him, and do not give him a chance to steal... Tao Yaoyao thought.

In fact, she was very relieved of Chen Mubai, but she also knew that her boyfriend's lethality to women was too great.

Tao Yaoyao believed that no one could resist Chen Mubai's charm.

Young and handsome, talented and wealthy, with a good personality, both literary and dance skills, such a talented person is so eye-catching!

He is like the moon in the dark night, shining brightly wherever he is, while women are like stars, they will be attracted and approached by him no matter where they are.

"Haha!" Chen Mubai looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I teased you on purpose, how could I be with others."

Tao Yaoyao angrily played with her small fists, and said without showing any weakness: "You will bully me!"

"I'm not willing to bully you, it's too late for me to love you, silly girl."

Saying that, Chen Mubai opened Tao Yaoyao's fist with a loving face, then put one hand around her neck, and let her little head close to his arms, and the two embraced like this.

"Of course I know you are teasing me on purpose, I just like the feeling of you loving me like this!"

Tao Yaoyao was lying in Chen Mubai's arms, her beautiful big eyes bent into small crescents, thinking happily.

 …

AMC.

Trillis was helpless, but also very angry.

He was incompetent and furious: "Things finally went down, but the Cannes Film Festival suddenly brought public opinion back!"

"Things have already happened, it's useless to worry about this, think about a solution." Caitlin was very calm.

"Cannes' actions are nothing more than a slap in the face of Oscar. Over the years, Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world, and the influence of Oscar has increased a lot. It has already affected the status of the Big Three. It seems that they are also panicked."

"However, this is also a good thing. Although this incident is a blow to Oscar, it may not be an opportunity."

Trillis was stunned when he heard the words: "How do you say?"

Caitlin looked calmly, and lightly parted her red lips: "If "When Happiness Comes Knocking" really won the Palme d'Or, then it did not win the top award at the Oscar Film Festival. This is a stark contrast, although it will An embarrassment for the Oscars, but also an opportunity for the Oscars to prove that they are better than Cannes."

"A film that missed the highest honor at the Oscars won the highest award in Cannes. This does not mean that the works of the Oscar Film Festival are of higher quality, so the quality and influence of the Oscars have to overwhelm the Cannes Film Festival. The so-called stakes It’s all relative, it just depends on how we operate.”

"This..." Trillis was speechless, although what he said made some sense, it was actually sophistry.

After all, the quality of "War" is not as good as "When Happiness Comes Knocking", which is also recognized. According to Caitlin, it is talking nonsense with open eyes and turning black and white.

Caitlin glanced at Trillis's face, guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "There will be many such controversial awards in any film festival. In addition to the works, the backgrounds of all parties are also a little bit, But with the passage of time, those controversies will disappear, and the public will no longer remember these things, they will only know that the xx work won the award in xx, and time will smooth everything out and make those voices disappear."

In the history of movies, there are many award-winning works that are lower than those that do not, so ratings are not the only criterion for judging.

Just like an excellent movie, some people like it and some people hate it. This is also the result of differences in aesthetics. In the eyes of different people, the ratings are also different.

Although, in the short term, Oscar will inevitably be criticized on this matter, but it will eventually disappear with time.

"Go and negotiate with them, prepare two more plans, this is a long war." Caitlin ordered.

"yes."

Trillis is going to meet with the other capitals to discuss this matter, and Oscar will also participate in it.

It may be the best solution to follow Caitlin's approach.

After Trillis chatted with everyone, he relayed Caitlin's words, and everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees.

The Oscar judges all showed surprise expressions, it is indeed a feasible solution!

Talking black is white, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is money on the Internet.

This kind of thing is indeed relatively speaking. It depends on who spends more money, and it can bring more rhythm. As long as it can cause controversy, it is fine to not let things be qualitative.

If Chen Mubai really wins the award, public opinion will suppress it. Everyone thinks that "When Happiness Comes Knocking" did not win the best picture at the Oscars but won it in Cannes, and that the Cannes Film Festival is better and more authoritative, then it is true. There is no way to turn the tables.

But once the rhythm is reversed, the quality of the Oscars is higher than that of Cannes, so if the same film wins awards at different film festivals, Cannes will also be embarrassed.

As long as there is controversy, someone will agree with one of the voices.

Well, it is also related to patriotism. At least as an American, I must support the higher quality and authority of the Oscar Film Festival. After all, this is the film festival of the country. Everyone hopes that their country will be strong and everything in their country are superior to others.

This point is to incite the emotions of netizens when the time comes, and it is also their plan.

"Wait for the result, this time, we don't know who will win!"

"That's right, let's fight."

"Haha, I'm afraid I'll shoot myself in the foot at the Cannes Film Festival this time."

With the solution, everyone's mood improved, and they were no longer as heavy as before.

 …

The Cannes Film Festival is very hot, but everyone's eyes are on the day when the film festival starts, and now it is only a momentary discussion.

At the same time, "Chain Saw 2" is released!

Thanks to the super high evaluation and reputation of the first part, the popularity of the second part was not low before it was released.

Although it is a low-budget horror movie, it is very popular. Coupled with the popularity of the promotional film and the recent popularity of Mubai Entertainment, the influence of the movie has also been magnified.

The pre-sale box office of this movie has exceeded 100 million!

Many people shouted: support Chen Mubai, support Huaxia's works!

Although this movie is not directed and starred by Chen Mubai, but the script is his, and it is also produced by Mubai Entertainment, so it is right to support it!

Some people don't watch horror movies very much, but because of this incident, everyone specially bought a movie ticket to support Chen Mubai, wanting to give a piece of support.

Everyone is supporting Chen Mubai in their own way, which is the most direct and effective way.
