Chapter 912 The hustle and bustle in the dust

Winning the third Oscar for Best Director in his career was a pleasant surprise.

Although the influence of the Oscars is declining, the Oscars are still the standard for judging whether a movie is good or not. Besides, someone who dotes on his fans like him naturally hopes that his fans will have confidence when they go to fight.

This is not the end. The Oscars seem determined to create a big winner this year. In the subsequent Best Picture award, Gravity won the crown again.

"Gravity" won three of the four major awards, becoming the biggest winner at this year's Oscars.

Since the academy was so respectful, Gilbert Jr. naturally reciprocated the favor during the media interview.

"The lifelong pursuit of every director is the recognition of the Oscars. I am very happy that I have been recognized by the Oscars, which means a lot to me.

In my opinion, if you don’t come to the Oscars, it will be a lifelong regret.”

This is actually a replica of "All things are inferior except reading."

The members of the Academy certainly liked what Gilbert Jr. said. As a leader of the Mesozoic directors, Gilbert Jr. set a good example.

The Institute did not forget to change its previous approach of dividing the cake and created this year's big winner.

In fact, the problem is what I mentioned above, the influence of the Oscars is declining. This is clear to both those outside the industry and those inside the industry.

So the Oscars hope that influential directors like Gilbert Jr. will get closer to the Oscars so that they can stop the downward trend.

The moment the Oscars ceremony ended, reports from the quick-reacting online media came out one after another.

In fact, large traditional newspaper media including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times have already launched their own online versions.

Everyone realizes that the media industry is changing rapidly today.

If you continue to be conservative in the midst of change, you will be left behind by the times. The traditional media industry, driven by capital, is quickly transforming towards the new Internet media direction.

However, Gilbert Jr. has an absolute advantage in this regard. He has laid out the Internet media industry very early. He uses the attributes of his social networking sites to accurately push news and uses portal websites to achieve data hot searches.

Xigua Hot Search and Twitter Hot Search, which celebrities are now vying to be on, are functions launched based on media thinking.

On the day when the Oscars ceremony ended, nine out of the top ten hot search terms on Xigua were related to this year's Oscars ceremony.

Topping the list is Gilbert Jr., who was crowned the Best Director Oscar for the third time, and second is Anne Hathaway, who was crowned the Best Actress award for the first time.

The last hotly searched film, Black Charcoal’s wife, personally announced in the big white house that “Gravity” won the Best Director award, thus demonstrating the unity of Washington and Hollywood.

There is also a button to view the complete list below the top ten hot searches, but most people are not interested in clicking on the complete list, so the top ten hot searches are particularly important.

The seventh most searched topic was that the viewership of this year's Oscars was as high as 4890 million, while the viewership of the last Oscars was only 3920 million.

This also explains why the Academy created a big winner this time, because they knew who the audience came for. If Gravity had not won the Oscars, how could it have such a high audience rating?
Although the college is conservative, everyone still has to eat together, so naturally they don’t want to lose the whole pot of rice.

With Gilbert's cooperation and hard work in public relations, the Academy also liked it. Although Gravity did not meet the usual Oscar selection criteria, it still gave it the highest recognition.

Audiences and filmmakers were pleasantly surprised to see the changes in the Oscars. Even Harvey Weinstein, who suffered a crushing defeat this year, was wondering whether the Oscars were catering to the public's taste.

However, IMDB film critic Peter does not think so. He believes that this year is just a special case and the Oscars will return to the niche route in the future.

"The average age of Oscar judges is as high as 62 years old, and less than 40% of the judges are under 2 years old, while 60% are over 54 years old.

There are 6783 judges in the Academy, of which 3662 are over 60 years old. How can we expect these 84 elderly people to appreciate movies about the new era? Therefore, the th Best Film Award went to The Artist instead of the more popular Moneyball.

Similarly, it is impossible for these more than 3000 elderly people to like films that are more in line with the tastes of young people, such as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "A Dangerous Method" and "Drive". The latter two films did not even receive an Oscar nomination.

94% of the Academy's judges are white and 77% are male. This shows that the taste of the Oscars is basically the taste of old white men.

If we use this taste to analyze all the past Oscar awards, we will be surprised to find that this old man’s taste is really stable.”

Peter then added: "As for this year's exception, it will only be an exception. For the sake of ratings and attention, the Oscars had to make compromises.

But next year, the Oscars will say: I have given you face, but you don’t understand the art of film, so you should choose according to our taste next time!"

This article is very insightful and analyzes the essence of the Oscars thoroughly.

Oscar is certainly aware of its own problems, but just like an aging man, it is powerless to do anything about it. It is wishful thinking to expect a group of white men over 60 to initiate reforms on Oscar.

All major mainstream media have basically given positive comments on "Gravity" and the Oscar adaptation.

The New York Times said: "Gravity conveys a subversive message: special effects do not necessarily have to be inversely proportional to IQ to attract people, and special effects can also become an organic part of drama.

The film's technological innovation and breakthroughs are reflected in its winning of numerous technical awards.

The director of the film, Gilbert Jr., won the Academy Award for Best Director for making an art film with a commercial flavor while retaining its artistic and ideological core. "

The Los Angeles Times also affirmed Anne Hathaway's win as Best Actress: "Looking back over the years, the selection of Best Actresses is always fraught with controversy.

But this controversy is particularly small this year because Anne Hathaway has shown unparalleled momentum. "

In the face of the general trend, The Washington Post could only say sourly: "Under the current situation, the Oscars had to give Gravity more recognition, but this will not be the case next year."

No matter how the media and moviegoers view this year's Oscars, it is a fact that Gravity won a big victory.

There was a dinner after the award ceremony, where all the Oscar winners took a family photo, bringing this year's Oscars to a perfect end.

Later, Gilbert Jr. met with Harvey Weinstein. The fat guy was able to hold back and even congratulated Gilbert Jr.

"Congratulations on your great victory this year. But I guarantee that this won't happen again next year."

Young Gilbert knew that what Harvey Weinstein said was true. In fact, it would be impossible for him to continue to aim for an Oscar next year and become an award-seeking maniac.

Oscar doesn't like dogs licking him, and Leo has licked him so many times but to no avail.

On the contrary, Oscar sometimes likes aloof male gods. Little Gilbert ignored Oscar for more than ten years and just glanced back at him. Oscar was like a crazy girl and wanted to give him everything.

But Gilbert Jr. is sure that if he continues to make award-winning films next year, the Oscars will prove that he is not a crazy girl.

So he said to Harvey Weinstein, "Congratulations to you too, Harvey, you're going to win big next year without me."

The two men met each other and then separated.

Naomi Watts came up and took Gilbert's arm, looking at Harvey Weinstein chatting and laughing with several actresses and said: "You really broke Mr. Weinstein's defense tonight."

Gilbert Jr. shrugged and said, "Nine out of ten things in life are not as you wish. Mr. Weinstein must learn to accept this fate." (End of this chapter)
