Disaster Artist

During last year's awards season, after Wei Wei's negative news broke out, Mei Linyun was pushed to the forefront—

Not only because Mei Linyun and Wei Wei have cooperated for many years, and Wei Wei helped her reach the top of the second Golden Book Award; but also because Mei Linyun has a high position in the industry, people believe that Mei Linyun must know the inside story, but after the incident broke out , but she never stood up and spoke out.

Big disappointment.

"She knows", this hashtag has spread mightily on social networks, and even extended to real life. People can see graffiti on this keyword in Lanchuan streets and alleys, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with Mei Linyun in such a way However, Mei Linyun remained silent the whole time.

Be it Tang Junyi or Mei Linyun, they are highly respected in the industry, and naturally, they need to bear more responsibilities in times of crisis.

Perhaps, Mei Linyun's career will not be affected. After all, she has been in the industry for more than forty years, but her public image has been hit hard. Disappeared from public view, retreated to the second line.

Until award season reignited the war.

Mei Linyun once again entered the public eye with "The Post", which he starred in. This work has too many similarities with last year's Golden Book Best Film "Focus". It also focuses on the media and also focuses on important moments in history. The conscience of the media is even more powerful.

Mei Linyun did not choose to issue a statement or speak publicly, but expressed his voice through the film, expressing his strong condemnation of Wei Wei, and expressing his support for the media that exposed the dark truth. This kind of public relations strategy is undoubtedly brilliant. Win over the audience.

It was precisely at this juncture that the Golden Sparrow Award was announced, and this year's Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Mei Linyun—

If it is said that the Lanchuan Journalists Association did not make careful calculations, it must be a lie.

Firstly, the Lanchuan Journalists Association was promoting Mei Linyun, and Mei Linyun would definitely reciprocate.

Secondly, the Lanchuan Journalists Association proved its innocence in such a way, instead of avoiding suspicion, it showed its upright position.

It seems like a simple step, but the intertwined intertwining of interests behind it is full of twists and turns. It has to be said that the Lanchuan Journalists Association has two brushes.

Therefore, when the Golden Sparrow Award ceremony kicked off, the whole Lanchuan was full of noise, not at all the desolation of last year's miserable and sad. The familiar scene of death, the social network is full of noise and frenzy.

Lu Qian was absent from the awards ceremony.

But this still did not affect the audience's expectations for this year's Golden Sparrow Awards—

Internet, no memory.

As mentioned before, this year's award season is very competitive, very, very fierce, far beyond imagination, excellent works are blowing out, and companies of all sizes are fully engaged. Not only the quality of the works is outstanding, but also the battle of public relations is even more of a bayonet Seeing Red is the best in twenty years.

It is precisely because of this that even though people know that the Golden Sparrow Award has always liked to divide the cake, the rain and the dew are even; but the key is that dividing the cake is also a technical job, and not everyone can grasp the balance and grasp the key, and this is precisely Lanchuan Journalists Association is best at the most outstanding skills—

The long-sleeved and skillful Lanchuan Journalists Association gathers all kinds of news from Lanchuan, and analyzes the fierce competition in the first stage of the awards season. Finally, it comes up with a list of winners that is stable and stable, but it is often a summary of the first stage of the battle. In the second stage, name inspiration and direction.

So, even if the cake is divided, how will the Golden Bird Award be divided this year?

This is not easy.

Standing at the point of time in mid-January, looking back at the fierce melee in the first stage of the awards season, it can truly be called a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

In September, "City of Falling Stars" took the lead and took the lead.

In October, The Post and Billboard compete for the best.

In November, "Phantom of Clothes" and "Seaside Town" have launched one after another. In addition, works such as "Nocturnal Animals", "Darkest Hour", "Arrival", "Three or High", "Hidden Figures" and so on have emerged Slowly began to emerge, and gradually entered the public eye with the awards of different film critics associations.

In December, "Moonlight" suddenly emerged, and "Miss Nightingale" brought surprises.

Etc., etc.

The above-mentioned works are only the leading figures of each month, and there is a second echelon behind them. There are simply too many works worth mentioning.

After the nomination list of the Golden Sparrow Award was announced, "Light and Shadow World" once wrote a special feature, counting the potential works worthy of attention in this year's awards season:

Using the large and small Film Critics Association and different film festivals and awards ceremonies as databases, one point is awarded for winning a nomination, and three points are awarded for winning an award in the end. This continues to accumulate until the end, as long as the work can get 30 points , to be included in the list of contenders.

Unbelievably, a total of forty-three works emerged from this list!

Forty-three, what does this number mean?

For reference, in the past two decades, magazines have compiled the same list every year. The Golden Bird Award is also used as the boundary and the scores are also calculated. The number of works that can enter this list is often different.

Last year, if you got 20 points, you could enter the list, and there were 22 films in total.

The year before last, the minimum score for the list was 25 points, so there were 17 films in total.

The year before last, the baseline for the list was also 20 points, and a total of 14 films were shortlisted.

It is clear at a glance.

Although the Lanchuan industry always said that five years is a year, this year is indeed the year of blowout, and the number of excellent works should be more than the past four years; Unexpectedly, comparable to a volcanic eruption.

Exclaimed, one piece.

Moreover, it's not just the quantity, the quality is also excellent, with powerful competitors appearing one after another, it's absolutely overwhelming—

There is no doubt that this is the real race for the throne!

In addition to the seven major film companies, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com led by Blue Whale Films and small and medium-sized companies and independent studios have fully joined the competition and displayed strong competitiveness.

Among the "Forty-Three" works, there are also high and low scores, which are naturally divided into upper circle and lower circle. In fact, independent workshops are not to be outdone, and firmly hold multiple seats in the upper circle. Once again, they have proved with practical actions that This year's award season has been full of wind and waves, and anyone can find an opportunity.

Even Damen Pictures has finally ushered in a transformation.

Over the years, Damen Films, which has been cultivating the field of horror/thriller movies, has missed the award season almost every year, which once again proves that the historical status of horror movies is even worse than that of comedy movies. Still haven't been able to turn the situation around.

Until this year, Damen Films, which has been repeatedly ignored and underestimated, finally made its mark in the awards season, and remained in the upper circle for more than half of the competition schedule, but I don't know how they won the Golden Sparrow Award and whether they can maintain their advantages all the way. What about the end?

It is against this background that the Lanchuan Journalists Association has played an unprecedentedly important role. In this melee, the Golden Sparrow Award will give a summary of the first phase and instructions for the second phase.
