The first update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

Facing Evan Bell's ridicule, Sid Ganis was not angry. Instead, he was a little surprised, "I thought you would like this proposal." , which is a huge loss for Eleven Studios. You must know that in the just-concluded awards season, Studio Eleven has all six works with super strength, even the weakest "Rachel's Wedding" should not be underestimated, and eventually the actress will also be included in the bag. middle. So, if the best picture nominees are expanded, this is definitely good news for Eleven Studios.

But Evan Bell doesn't think so.

"You know, Sid, the Oscar for Best Picture is so precious because it's only five, and all the best films have to compete for those five seats. That's what makes it worthwhile." Although Evan -Bell doesn't care so much about nominations, but it's a fact that rare things are precious. Although this sentence is not completely correct when used in the Oscars, it is basically consistent, "Now, there are ten seats, indeed, there are many Great works won't be missed. But have you ever wondered, what if ten great works don't come out? Is it possible that the shortlisted works are over-acclaimed, or even ineligible for the shortlist?"

Sid Ganis opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Evan Bell shaking his head, "Similarly, think about it, if ten works are nominated for the best picture, just consider these ten works. The works are all very good. But what about the nominations for best director? Or five, the best picture that didn't get the nomination for best director, so what? This shows that this so-called best picture is not so good In line with 'Best, there's absolutely nothing left for a nomination!"

To put it harshly, the ten best picture seats may seem grand, but in the end it is the five works that won the best director nomination, which also makes the remaining five nominated works a joke, even is an empty talk.

"Indeed, the number of seats has been expanded to ten, and documentaries, comedies, and cartoons can all be shortlisted, but will the academy let them win awards? Will their directors be nominated for the best? No." Evan Bell said, "If you imagine, 'Wall-E the Robot, he's shortlisted, but Andrew still can't win the Best Director nomination, does that have any positive impact on Wall-E's reputation? No. Also, 'Juno, the film' The comedy is shortlisted and won, but only if I am nominated for best director and even win an award. It doesn’t matter if I get five or ten nominations, it all depends on the academy’s attitude towards these works.”

Having said this, Evan Bell shook his head, "Sid, you are confused."

cowry

"No no, Evan, you are wrong.

"Sid Ganis listened to Evan Bell's elaboration quietly, his expression gradually became serious, he did a little test, and then he said slowly, "You said Naturally, I have considered the situation, but the point is not the final award, but the nomination itself is an affirmation of the work. You imagine, at the Oscars tonight, the documentary 'The Tightrope Walker', and the animated feature 'Dancing with Bash', if they both win Best Picture nominations, or something like 'Careless ,, 'Love you for a long time, such excellent works produced abroad, the nomination list is not only an affirmation, but more importantly, people can see these works from the nomination list, and pay more attention to these works, right? ? "

Although Sid Ganis had a conflict with Evan Bell's thoughts, he was not too impatient,

He still said it casually, obviously his proposal for the expansion of the seats of production has gone through countless entanglements, "You should know better than me, there are countless excellent works in the independent field, and there are a lot of them every year, and there are no ten. There are also five films. In short, 'Death illusion, in the past, it could only be circulated among fans, and there was no way to attract attention on a large scale. Such a masterpiece will be buried in the history of history. In the dust. But if the seats are expanded to ten, there will be more excellent works in people's sight, whether it is a commercial masterpiece or an independent sketch, all are treated equally. The works come first, this is the most important of."

"As for the shoddy ones among the ten works you mentioned, there is no need to worry. The purpose of expanding the seats is to allow excellent works of documentaries, cartoons and foreign language films to win the best picture nomination." When De Ganis spoke, he kept looking at Evan Bell, but unfortunately, he did not find any change in Evan Bell's expression, "When the range of works that can be selected becomes larger, the best works naturally There are more and more, how can there be cases where unqualified works are shortlisted?”

After Sid Ganis finished speaking, Evan Bell still shook his head, obviously he was not persuaded, "Sid, you expanded the nomination seats to ten, in fact, very simply, you want to win more. attention, right? Or more directly, the ratings.”

Sid Ganis didn't speak, but the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't deny it.

Evan Bell went on to say, "You forget, the award shows always use short video clips to introduce the best picture candidates, and the host has to tease the candidates on the opening show. Ten places are bound to increase. The difficulty of hosting the entire awards ceremony and the difficulty of controlling the duration. Your starting point is good, but whether it can become a magic weapon to attract viewers is still unknown.”

Sid Ganis was stunned for a while, obviously he still lacked consideration in this regard, but he still laughed and said, "Then this is what the next college president needs to worry about."

Evan Bell curled his lips, "And, most importantly, when you expand the nomination seats to ten for the sake of ratings, it also makes the Oscar business atmosphere come back again. Not to mention in the nomination seat expansion. Whether the profit is commercial films, independent films, or European films, just talking about your starting point, you have lost your original intention in the past four years.”

With the first time, there must be a second time. The first time was to expand the nomination seats for the sake of ratings, so who knows what will happen the second time?

When Sid Ganis heard this accusation, he could only sigh deeply, "Evan, you are not the president of the academy, and you don't know my pressure."

Don't look at the past four years, Sid - Ganis released harsh words, even at the expense of ratings to carry out the reform to the end. But the Oscars is no longer a non-profit party for a long time, and it also has commercial interests that must be considered. If commercial interests are completely abandoned, it is estimated that the Oscars will perish soon. In this regard, Oscar is no different from Berlin, Venice, Cannes, Toronto, Grammys, etc.

So, even if Sid-Gannis didn't say it, the concerns about commercial interests, about ratings, had never been taken lightly on his shoulders. The ratings of the Oscars tonight were not released at the time of this conversation, and Sid Ganis must also worry about the impact on the entire ratings body after "Juno" won the best picture. The "Dark Knight" of the new North American box office history has finally fallen, which is a huge blow to the public. Sid Gaines can only hope Evan Bell, "Dark Knight" is starring Evan Bell, and "Juno" is directed by Evan Bell. The result of the operation is hoped to satisfy the audience.

To expand the nomination seats, the most basic idea is the ratings. Sid Gaines has spent four years overhauling the Oscars aesthetic, and before he leaves office, he must also leave the Oscars with a gimmick about commercial interests and ratings. Of course, as to whether it will work or not, it will depend on the operation of the next Academy President.

Evan Bell heard this helpless remark from Sid Ganis, and he knew that it was estimated that Sid Ganis did not listen to persuasion and insisted on doing it. In this matter, history is still Nothing has changed. Evan Bell gave a smile, "Huh, I must be thankful that I'm not sitting in your seat. That seat is so hot, are you sure it's alright?"

Sid Ganis was relieved to know that Evan Bell had no intention of continuing on this topic, and then laughed, "It was really hot. So I decided to leave, there were less than four left. Months, I can still persevere.”

The two did not speak any more, but raised the whisky in their hands, clinked glasses in the air, and then tasted the fine wine carefully. At this moment, a series of collision sounds came from the outside of the locker room. It sounded like the sound of the body being slammed against the wardrobe door, which made Evan Bell and Sid Ganis stunned. I was stunned, and then I heard conversations such as "Don't be so anxious", "You are sure there is no one here", "Baby, trust me"...etc.

Evan Bell and Sid Ganis are old fritters who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and naturally know what is going on. The dressing room, stairwell, and guest room on Oscar night have always been places where passion erupted. It's just that Evan Bell and Sid Ganis sat in the inner room, listening to the gasping and crashing sounds outside, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Evan Bell and Sid Ganis were both calm and motionless. If they go out at this time, it will be called real embarrassment. On the contrary, the two of them sat in their own positions without moving, still drinking whiskey slowly, and in the accompaniment of the most primitive symphony in the world outside, they seemed to be monks practising Zen, slowly enjoying this tapestry. An embarrassing moment of passion.

So what, the monthly pass in June is too bleak, a brand new month to ask for the support of the monthly pass at the end of the month!
