The Greatest Showman

One Thousand One Hundred and Six Out Early

With "Love Crazy", he reached the top Oscar at the age of twenty-two. At that time, people guessed that in the next few years, Renly's awards season journey will be difficult, which is to be expected; But people did not guess that the impact came so quickly.

After "Transcendence" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, it is rightly considered to be the most important work in this year's awards season. Compared with "Buried Alive" the previous year, "Crazy in Love" and For "I am fighting cancer", "detachment" is the work that truly reflects the absolute strength of Renly, and it is undoubtedly more in line with the preferences of the academy judges.

But now, he dies before he leaves his apprenticeship. The big curtain of the awards season has just been opened, and the war has not even had time to ignite, and "detachment" seems to have withdrawn from the competition for various awards.

In fact, professional film critics are still full of praise for Renly.

When Roger Ebert attended the New York Film Festival, a reporter asked a related question, "Which one is the most impressive among the performances of many actors this year?" Roger gave his answer with little hesitation, "Renly Hall."

Because the answer was too succinct and too affirmative, it caused a burst of exclamations among the reporters.

Roger then added in the interview, "Personally, when I watched the work 'Transcendence', Renly's performance quality left a good impression. We all know that he He's a great actor, so I thought, well, it's not a big deal, and he put on another great performance."

"But after that, for a long time, I mean, for more than three months, his performance was always in my head, savoring those emotions, those aftertastes, not only It's just the character of Henry Barth, and the fate and life of this character. To be honest, I made a special trip to Queens to visit the situation of those lower-level education, and the shock I felt was still surging layer by layer. "

"Sometimes, I can't tell if it's the power of the movie or the power of the performance. But without a doubt, one of my personal favorites of the movie so far this year is the ending of 'Transcendence,' amidst the ruins. , a recitation of Renly's poetry. God, that's beautiful."

Roger has made no secret of his love and admiration for Renly, and such a long speech can make people see his affirmation, and he is not the only person in the industry who holds such a view.

In the two cities of New York and London, the general opinion is this: good, this is absolute good, unparalleled good. Once again, Renly's sheer prowess has been recognized, complementing Almeida's version of "Les Miserables," and it really gives a sense of the young actor's brilliance.

Gradually, Renly is breaking down the age and experience barriers and gaining the approval of those true professionals.

For practitioners like Tony Kaye, who are devoted to the creation of film art, what they care about is not word of mouth, not awards, not box office, not interests, but pure strength. Good is good, bad is bad, and it takes effort to do so, everything is so pure.

But Oscar season has never been so easy.

Strictly speaking, any awards ceremony and film festival are not so simple, because they are not mathematical problems, one is one, two is two, and artistic aesthetics and judgments need to refer to too many standards.

The reason why the three major European film festivals are relatively simple and relatively independent is because the jury system is adopted, and the final selection result reflects the preferences and preferences of a small number of judges. Important; but in this way, the disadvantage is that almost every year the winners of the three major film festivals will attract crazy complaints from the media.

The Oscars reflect the comprehensive voting results of more than 6,000 academy judges.

As a result, things got more complicated, and academy PR for awards season was born.

Nominations depend on strength, and awards depend on luck. This is not just talk.

In fact, in the context of the explosion of information that has arisen with the Internet age, Jiuxiang is not afraid of the golden words and golden sentences in the alley. , the intensity is not inferior to the stage of chasing awards.

Simply enumerate a set of data, and everything will be clear at a glance.

In the first decade of the 21st century, among the best films at the Oscars, only three winning films failed to cross the 100 million threshold at the North American box office, namely "Crash", "No Country for Old Men" and "The Hurt Locker". , the lowest box office is "The Hurt Locker", the box office is only 17 million US dollars.

In the last decade of the twentieth century, among the best picture Oscars, there were also three award-winning works that grossed less than $100 million in North America, "Schindler's List", "The English Patient" and "Braveheart". ", of which the lowest box office is "Braveheart", the box office data is 75 million.

Further, in the past two decades, only one of the Oscar-winning works that won the best picture in North America has a cumulative box office of less than 50 million, "The Hurt Locker" -- in addition, last year's best picture "The Artist", The final North American box office was $44 million.

"Variety" magazine once calculated that any film trying to hit the Oscar nomination for best picture must reach more than eight million US dollars at the North American box office. In the past ten years, only "Letter from Iwo Jima" has not been able to meet the requirements. Such a standard-

Because Clint Eastwood filmed two sets, "The Flag of the Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima", which interpreted the same battle from the perspective of the United States and Japan respectively.

Warner Bros. originally planned to attack the Oscars with the "flag of the fathers", while "Letter from Iwo Jima" will fight again next year. As a result, the reputation of the former was far lower than expected. Seeing that it was about to miss the awards season, Warner Bros. made a decisive decision and rushed it. The latter was pushed to the theater. This is what happened.

In other words, if you want to win the Oscar nomination for Best Picture, you must have a sufficient publicity base and mass base, as well as enough media topics and publicity content. The box office is the most direct performance. stage stand out.

The same goes for the nominations for best picture, as do the nominations for other projects.

Academy PR during the awards season is not only a war of contacts, public relations, and propaganda, but also a war of money. In the final analysis, this worldwide film industry carnival is still closely related to interests.

Now, "detachment" is falling behind.

Regarding Renly's reputation in the industry, it is gradually rising and gradually taking root. If the Tony Awards or Oliver Awards are held now, then Renly will definitely be a popular candidate; but in the awards season, bad word of mouth, sluggish box office and strong resistance from the audience Tendency, but let this work lose its attention early.

If nothing else, "detachment" may be eliminated in the nomination stage.

For an art film, and one that won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, that's a disappointment.

Objectively speaking, Tony Kaye and Renly Hall have never planned to hit the awards season. From the screening stage, Tony has been inactive and has no intention of joining in the fun; and Renly, who is filming in the UK, is even more so. Passive sabotage, no publicity. They have no regrets about missing the excitement of awards season.

But the media reporters were unwilling to let it go, and started shaking their heads one by one.

On the one hand, they all began to feel sorry for Renly's defeat. This is the first work that has suffered a comprehensive blow since Renly was born. The results after the screening were far lower than expected, and they may not become Renly's. A turning point in his career, but the journey of miracles came to an abrupt end, which is still unforgettable.

On the other hand, they also regretted that Renly disappeared and missed another confrontation with Weinstein Pictures.

Late last year, the awards season between Renly and Harvey Weinstein was ups and downs, thrilling, and twists and turns.

In most of the time, the "artist" had the absolute upper hand, and even showed a crushing trend of sweeping away thousands of troops; the uprising of "hypegate" pushed Renly into a desperate situation and was in danger.

But in the end, Renly completed the Jedi counterattack and made history by staggering to the top of the Oscar.

This big play is absolutely wonderful and stunning.

It is rumored that after the awards ceremony, Harvey was furious and furious at the Sunset Tower Hotel, and he and Renly could be described as a real feud.

At the end of the year, Harvey led the Weinstein Films comeback, extremely strong. "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Cloud", "Django Unchained", "The Master", "Quartet" and many other works, covering the competition for various awards, continued their consistent strategy, while operating the academy's public relations, while Allocate resources, and when you enter the sprint stage, focus on attacking the little golden man.

It is worth noting that among these works, Bradley Cooper, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jamie Foxx are all contenders for Best Actor.

It can be seen from this slight action that in the process of purchasing the copyright, Harvey's priority is the impact of the best actor, not the best picture and the best director, otherwise he would not have been. I missed "Hunting this **" and chose "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Cloud".

No one knows what exactly happened between Renly and Harvey, and the copyright deal for "Crazy in Love" doesn't seem to be enough to completely irritate Harvey, but what is certain is that Harvey and Renly are definitely not close friends. The two have yet to collaborate on a single work.

It is a pity that this year's war between Harvey and Renly didn't seem to start, and it ended early because of the early exit of "detachment", which is really embarrassing.
