Disaster Artist

The Golden Book Award, once a year, attracts much attention.

Today, the development of the film industry has entered a stage of full prosperity, and there are countless influential film festivals around the world.

If it is necessary to select the most influential, authoritative and most concerned event, it is not difficult. The three major film festivals and the Golden Book Award are undoubtedly the top pearls of the pyramid, undisputed, and The Golden Sparrow Awards, the Seka Film Festival, etc. are still slightly inferior overall.

The Golden Book Award, which has come to the 88th this year, has a long history even five years earlier than the Blue Summer Film Festival.

In other words, in the glorious journey of a century of film, the Golden Book Award is the first film awards event that has been recorded and passed down to this day.

Just like a core issue that all artistic creations must face, "how to find a balance between business and art", the difference between the three major film festivals and the Golden Book Award is also here:

The three major film festivals are slightly more artistic; the Golden Book Awards are slightly more commercial.

It can be seen from the way the awards are selected.

In the three major film festivals, the shortlisted works are all brand-new works that have not yet entered the market. They are selected by the film selection committee and arranged to enter different units; the decision-making power of the award selection is in the hands of the jury, usually a small number of ten people, and the final award It reflects the artistic taste of the jury.

For the Golden Book Award, shortlisted works must be screened in seven theaters for at least one week, that is, works that have been officially released, in order to be eligible for nomination; the selection of the awards is decided by the judges of the academy, and Lanchuan Film is currently responsible for holding the Golden Book Award. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences already has more than 10,000 members—

In other words, this is the result of the vote of more than 10,000 people, which reflects the taste of the public to a greater extent.

Thanks to such a difference, the market attention and commercial value of the Golden Book Award are naturally better, and the discussion on a global scale can be said to be unparalleled in the world.

Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there is blood.

As mentioned earlier, with the rise of Wei Wei, the awards season has gradually changed its flavor, and now the Golden Book Award has gradually evolved into a public relations game.

But we must recognize the fact that this is the inevitable result of the high development of business. Even if it is not Wei Wei, there will be another person who will set off the frenzy of the awards season.

Moreover, even though the Golden Book Award has become a kind of public relations game, the voting base of more than 10,000 people still guarantees fairness and fairness. Even Wei Wei cannot do whatever he wants and cover the sky with one hand, not to mention Lion Pictures, Peak Entertainment Wait for the giants, even some small independent film companies are often able to break out.

Ultimately, the focus remains on the work itself.

This year, too.

The controversy and confusion of the Golden Sparrow Award disrupted the order of the entire awards season without warning, but the Golden Sparrow Award is the Golden Sparrow Award, and the awards season is still the awards season.

After a brief turbulent period, the Golden Book Awards "come forward".

The Academy has not been disrupted, and announced this year's nomination list as originally planned, and reminded everyone with practical actions not to completely deny the beauty of the world because of the existence of bad people, and not to overthrow it because of the disputes between Lanchuan Journalists Association and Wei Wei. The existence of all film productions.

Life is still going on; movies are still shining.

Just a full week after the announcement of the winners of the Golden Sparrow Award, the Golden Book Award, as scheduled, showed a more united and determined gesture even in the midst of turmoil and chaos.

Lanchuan, once again gathering attention from all over the world, and gathering more attention due to the chaos of this year's awards season——

Can the nomination list feel the impact from the negative news of the awards season? What was the impact of Wevey's absence from the sprint, and in a scandalous fashion?

It is against this background that the nominations for the 88th Golden Book Award are unveiled.

Best video.

The jewel in the crown, because this is a reward for the entire work, not only for the producer and director, but also for all participants in the entire crew.

For a long, long time, there were only five Best Picture nominations, like all other awards; but with the advancement of time, the film industry has become more and more developed, and the awards season has become more and more influential. There are more and more works, and it seems that five seats are no longer enough for works worthy of being discovered for sure.

So, seven years ago, the number of Best Picture nominees was expanded, doubling in one go from five to ten.

But ten seats seem to be too many, the water content of the entire nomination list has increased significantly, and the average quality of the nominations has been lowered, but it has attracted the opposite effect.

After a series of controversies, a series of discussions and a series of games, four years ago, the Golden Book Award was reformed again, with a minimum of five and a maximum of ten seats for the best film nomination, but there is no limit to the number of seats——

According to the voting, a minimum threshold is set, and only works that meet the minimum threshold can win the nomination.

In the past four years, there have been nine, nine, eight, and eight nominations for the Golden Book Award for Best Picture, and the number of nominations has never been full.

So what about this year?

"Decoding Game", "Resurrection", "Mars Mission", "The Big Short", "Spotlight", "Fury Road", "Tourist", "Love".

eight.

There are still eight nominations. For the third year in a row, only eight works have been nominated for the best picture. Despite the bustling upsurge of the awards season, there are still many noteworthy works, but in the end, only eight films have survived the siege. The competition for the first stage of the annual awards season is all over.

Wonderful!

Fabulous!

"Decoding Game" was nominated, produced and distributed by Webster Brothers Pictures, and under the pressure of turbulent controversy, it was nominated for the best picture.

Tianshan Pictures' "Big Short" and Liuguang Pictures' "Rage Road" were both nominated, which once again showed the courage of the Golden Book Award.

The former, aiming at the financial crisis that swept the world eight years ago~www.readwn.com~ presents the truth behind the crisis in a playful tone.

The latter is not well received. When it was released last summer, it swept the word of mouth of film critics and was hailed as a once-in-a-decade "cult". Maintained at nine points, it was undoubtedly one of the best of last year, but because the style was too unique, the box office performance was disappointing, and in the end it just barely broke even.

Two works, the same black, but also equally good.

On top of the previous Golden Sparrow Awards, the Lanchuan Journalists Association commended the "big short", but completely ignored the "Fury Road", which was also considered a major regret.

Streamer Films, this year's awards season can be described as very embarrassed. A series of works aimed at the awards season have been wiped out. Instead, a commercial film has emerged. They also focused their firepower on publicity. At the last moment, they still completed the big reversal. Win a spot in the nominations.

"The Revenant" and "Mars Mission", Lion Pictures is still stable, not stable, especially after Wei Wei's unexpected exit, and now these two works have become the leaders of the awards season.

Plus, Blue Whale Pictures, "Tourist" and "Love, Double Nominations!"
