Chapter 435 shalala
""Lord of the Rings" unexpectedly lost, and "White Paper" won the best picture Oscar!"

The headlines of the major apps the next day must be this news.

No one who eats melons can imagine that the masterpiece that took three years to create will encounter Waterloo at the Oscars.

Although it has won five Oscars, it is not very appropriate to describe it as encountering Waterloo. After all, so many movies have not even been nominated, but "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has won so many Oscars, even if it did not get the most prestigious award. Those few awards are not enough, but they are enough to leave a name in film history.

But other people are satisfied, but Director Ford is not satisfied at all.

His slogan all along was aimed at the Academy Awards, but in the end he only won some statuettes.

Although commercially, "The Lord of the Rings" achieved a shocking box office of nearly [-] million US dollars, far exceeding the expectations of investors, but the results in art awards are really unsatisfactory.

Before the Oscars, various media were blowing up "The Lord of the Rings" to the sky, saying that the Oscars were all over the place, but they were blown away by a small-budget movie with an investment of less than 5000 million US dollars. It's ridiculous.

However, someone soon came out to explain, saying that "White Paper" tells the story of black people being raped.

In addition, literary films that satirize social phenomena happen to be the favorite of academic judges, so the award of "White Paper" has already been foreshadowed.

It's just that because the box office is not ideal, there are relatively few media reports. In fact, "White Paper" has achieved quite good results at other film festivals. Can't talk about it.

In fact, the production of "The Lord of the Rings" is really excellent, and its connotation is far beyond that of ordinary commercial movies. The acting skills of the actors are also online, and the director's shooting art is also quite superb. It is appropriate in any year in the past few years. best video for .

But who made it unlucky? When encountering an extremely politically correct film like "White Paper", there have been many award-winning films over the years, except "Forrest Gump" (ps. This film also defeated the highest-rated film on Douban that year—— ——"The Shawshank Redemption") This kind of great movie that represents the American dream, no one really can touch it.

Because if a general movie fails to win an award, even if there is controversy, at most it will be a war of words among netizens, and some complaints from the crew.

But "White Paper" can't do it. If you can't handle the racial qs hat, you will be put on it, and the Oscar ceremony will suffer.

But it is precisely because of such a fucking reason that Director Ford is even more unacceptable.

In fact, "The Lord of the Rings" has been criticized by some black critics since it was filmed and released, because there are no black people in this movie.

Now abroad, especially in the United States, there is a consensus when filming, that is, black people must appear in the film, otherwise you will be qs and politically incorrect.

But the original author of "The Lord of the Rings" did not assign any roles to black people in the book at all. Humans, elves, dwarves, and hobbits, there are tall and short, but they are all white images.

As for the half-orc, it could be played by a black man, after all, it is more in line with the image of a strong orc, but in that case, it would be like handing a knife to the Anti-Discrimination Association.

Simply, Director Ford directly gave up hiring extra actors in the United States, and transferred to the UK for casting.

I didn't expect to avoid it, and finally fell on the black man. I can only say that it deserves to be like this.

Fortunately, Director Ford is not a person who likes to complain about himself, and it didn't take long to accept this fact.

After the Oscar ceremony, he also accepted the reporter's interview peacefully. When asked how to evaluate the film "White Paper", Director Ford said: "Congratulations to the director and other staff of "White Paper". They have made a very good movie. The movie is indeed better than "The Lord of the Rings". I will work harder on the second "Two Towers" and continue to chase the Oscars. I only hope that there will be no "White Paper 2" to compete with me. "

Director Ford humorously made a joke for everyone. Only Luo Quan, who was on the side, felt that this was the connotation of "White Paper".

It seems that no matter how majestic the director is, he will still hold grudges, but because of his status, he definitely can't directly scold him in the street like a commoner in the market, that would be too disrespectful.

However, Luo Quan feels that, given the current social environment in the United States, there will be many similar movies in the future. After "White Paper" is finished, there may be "Blue Book", "Green Book", and "Lord of the Rings 2" before the Oscars. I'm afraid the journey will not be smoother than the first one.

Although director Ford failed this time, for Yu Luoquan, it was a great success.

People's expectations are different, and the mood after getting the result will be different.

After the news that Luo Quan won the Golden Melody Award was confirmed, the commotion in China was even greater than the defeat of "Lord of the Rings".

This is a milestone for Chinese musicians. Even looking at the whole of Asia, Luo Quan's move can be regarded as a feat that few people can match.

What's even more pleasing is that it won't be long before the Grammy Awards.

After winning all the golden songs at the Oscars, will the Grammy Awards be far behind?
Taking advantage of the good mood, Luo Quan is also Dali's flag, and then tweeted and Bilibili dual platforms: This time I want to sweep the Grammys!

At this moment, it is just like the rhetoric that Director Ford made when facing reporters when "The Lord of the Rings" was released.

If it was a year ago, everyone might still think that this newcomer was a bit crazy, and he was a little bit flustered just after a little achievement.

But now, everyone will doubt this statement, and will only think that this is a fact that must happen.

Regardless of whether the Grammy judges are academic or not, Luo Quan's English songs have surpassed the songs of the same year in terms of business, art, and production.

If this still won't win the award, it can only be understood that these judges have zz discrimination, and there is no second reason.

In the past, when the flag was established, Luo Quan often encountered face slaps.

But only this time, there is no possibility of overturning.

She may be a newcomer in the film industry, but in the music industry, her current status is completely inversely proportional to her age.

"Big Stone" magazine has already ranked her among the top ten musicians of the new century, which shows how much she is liked and respected.

Of course, no matter how high the Grammy is, it will be a month away, and now she has to do the job at hand well.

South Korea's development path will continue. After winning the Golden Melody Award, Luo Quan flew back to South Korea the next night.

Immediately after getting off the plane, a new Korean single "Destiny" was released.

This song is the OP of the famous Korean drama "Full House", and Luo Quan sang the female version.

This world does not have that drama that is popular in Asia, but it does not affect the excellence of this song. After it was released, it directly topped the major charts, and finally ended its many-day relationship with "Girls' Generation" Battle for the top spot.

If the previous two sides are not evenly matched, the appearance of this song won't have much suspense.

But this is only the first play of Luo Quan's new song. On the second day, she rushed to release the second song "Marriage" (ps. originally sung by Li Xianji).

If the songs released before are all brainwashing love songs, which are good, but they can't reflect her singing ability, then the song "Marriage" directly sang a lot of Korean music fans.

First of all, this song uses some ancient instruments as accompaniment, and the arrangement style is quite novel.

The second is the outrageous number of high-pitched words, and the continuous chest and head cavity resonance at the end makes music fans very addicted.

In fact, most Korean pop singers are used to covering the treble and not releasing it completely. Although it has a special charm, it just feels that something is lacking.

However, this Ford's singing method is indeed very popular in Korea. Er Luoquan actually used this singing method in the new song, which surprised the local fans the most.

This feeling is like a well-known foreign musician who specially composed a piece of Chinese style with Chinese instruments when he came to China to perform.

It makes people feel full of sincerity and respect.

This is a great pride and touch to the Korean people who have always lacked a sense of international identity.

In such a mood, even a bad song will be conferred, not to mention the song "Marriage" itself is of explosive quality.

Whether it is music or lyrics, the level must be higher than all current Korean pop music.

Not to mention Luo Quan's singing, it can be called the top in the top, and the long head voice at the end is about to break through the sky.

Because of this, "Marriage" was directly called the Korean national divine song by netizens.

"Don't let me go on the day you come back from a long way and meet again~~~"

In the hotel, Wen Xia showed off her singing voice.

As the captain of two popular girl groups, Wen Xia is not only talented in dancing, but also talented in singing, and she can easily hit the high notes.

It's a pity that I haven't received more professional training, so I lack skills.

The height is high, without thickness, which is the so-called big white voice.

"How about it, I sang it?" Wen Xia looked at Luo Quan triumphantly after finishing her high note.

She really likes this song "Marriage", it's beautiful, and the lyrics are so beautiful that it makes people want to cry.

As far as the story in the lyrics is concerned, it would be a tearjerker in ancient costumes in Korea.

"The pitch is good enough, but it's a pity that the position of the pronunciation is wrong." Luo Quan put his hands on his head and lifted it up, "You have to touch this part, keep going up, and make your skull vibrate. Only in this way can it be considered successful."

Wen Xia pursed her mouth: "If I could sing at this level, I wouldn't be in a girl group back then, and I would have made my solo debut long ago."

Luo Quan smiled and said: "You can practice, you are so talented, hire a professional teacher, and you will be able to get started in a short time.

Now idols demand diversified development, just having a pretty face and being able to dance a little is not enough. "

But Wen Xia shook her head: "I want to act more than sing."

Idols have joined the entertainment industry, whether it is singing or dancing, they must be actors in the end.

The status of actors, especially film actors, is definitely the highest among stars.

This is also the reason why she applied for the acting department in university.

It is impossible for idols to do it for a lifetime. If you learn to act well now, and when you can't sing or dance in the future, you can quickly transform.

"By the way, the running man's announcement has come down. It seems to be outdoors. The program team specially set up a scene for us, and two episodes will be filmed for a special edition broadcast." Wen Xia showed Luo Quan the news on his phone, It's about the arrangement for the upcoming variety show shooting.

As a Korean national-level variety show, RM has an irreplaceable position in the whole of Asia. Not only Koreans like to watch it, but every time a new episode is broadcast, there are also a lot of hot searches in China.

Even if you don't mix Korean fan circles, you will be very interested just because of its excellent quality.

In terms of editing and narration, RM is like the originator of variety shows, and many popular variety shows in China are borrowed from it.

It even includes the game links in many shows, so it can’t be said to be borrowed, it’s just copying if you don’t listen to it.

Luo Quan himself has actually watched quite a few episodes of RM, and indeed it often makes people laugh out loud.

The resident guests in the show are also very kind, and there will be no embarrassment for the flying guests.

But Luo Quan is worried about whether he has a sense of variety.

When I was filming Girls' Generation and I'm a singer before, she was criticized for not talking very much, and most of the time she was crying and couldn't make any laughs.

And for a funny variety show, the most important thing is the sense of variety, that is, to be able to create laughter.

If the recording of the show starts at that time, and she doesn't say a word like a robot, one can imagine the effect of the filming.

Luo Quan was most worried about this.

Although she usually likes to tell jokes to fans, but for some reason, she will unknowingly become serious when facing the shooting.

I don't know the reason, which is also the reason why she hardly accepts variety shows.

Now the prices offered to her by various domestic channels are in the tens of millions. If she wanted to earn this kind of quick money, she would have earned it long ago.

But the problem is that now everyone watching variety shows wants to relax and laugh, who would like to see a bitter face appear on the screen.

Even if you are the most beautiful in the world, it's not very good to have a hard and concave personality.

Out of the psychology of being responsible for the program group and also wanting to be less complained about, she has never accepted these variety shows.

But this time in Korea, RM is an unavoidable status ring. If you want to quickly increase your reputation, RM is the best choice.

So no matter how uncertain Luo Quan was, he still wanted to go.

"According to senior Yoo Jae-shih, this show will subvert our usual image, let us get ready." Wen Xia said while looking at the message on the phone.

"Subverting the image?" Luo Quan showed a puzzled expression. Could it be possible that this shooting will have some different activities from usual?That would be interesting.

ps. Thanks to the book friend sincerl, and there is another book friend who is full of symbols and really can’t type, thank you for the book coins you rewarded, thank you!
