Coquettish Rebirth

Speaking of which, if China wants to send a film to the Oscars to compete for the best foreign language film, which department can make the decision?To be honest, Jia Hongjian didn't think about this question at all before, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that he doesn't understand it at all!I have never heard of an organization that would be responsible for this!For example, when I watched the Spring Festival Gala or other galas in the past, there were some introductions such as "the program xxx selected by Capital TV", at least people can know that it was selected by Capital TV, but what department is this Oscar now? Responsible for delivery?

In the field of football, to participate in the World Cup or something, there is also a football association that is responsible for the national team, right?This is true all over the world.And the Oscars are sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the United States. Well, is there any similar institution in mainland China?Is there a... film association similar to the Football Association?After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian called and asked Lao Jing and the others from the domestic American Film Studio. "Hello, old Jing? I, Hongjian, may I ask you, is there any film association in our country?" As soon as the call was connected, Jia Hongjian asked Huanglong directly.

Jing Guoping on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, "Yes, Mr. Jia, why do you ask this?" Is it going to the Oscars for the best foreign language film review? Was it selected by this institution?" As soon as he heard that it was true, Jia Hongjian immediately became interested, and asked a bunch of questions directly.Then I heard Jing Guoping reply: "Yes, the full name of this film association is the National Association of Filmmakers. They manage a lot of things, such as collecting membership fees...cough cough...and holding the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards and so on. , The selection of films is also selected by them. Our country has entered the Oscars since 85. Over the years, films have been selected and sent to participate in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film every year, but they have only been nominated, but they have not won awards. Like before Lao Mouzi's "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and so on have all been nominated. The one in Dawan seems to be Ang Lee... a man named Ang Lee , was nominated for two films. There seems to be no..."

Whoops, I'm going?How many films in China have been nominated before?Jia Hongjian probably heard the names of these films.However, he had always thought that these films had participated in some selections such as Venice or Cannes Film Festival, and then seemed to win awards, but he never thought that these films were nominated for Oscars in the first place!Even if these films did not win the last award for best foreign language film, it would be great to be nominated!

Jia Hongjian got acquainted with Katzenberg.It's not a smooth journey from the beginning of registration to the final award.It's not that it's over after one round - first of all, there are more than 70 countries and regions.Each country and region is eligible to select and send one film, and this is about [-] films!Then, these films will all be screened in the United States.Even if it is only a small-scale public screening, it must be screened publicly, otherwise you will not be eligible to participate in the preliminary round!Then I participated in the preliminary competition, which is to let all the members of the association in the United States watch the film freely. Of course, it is necessary to watch the film once within the specified time.Then after watching all of them, this member is eligible to vote, and then he is about to vote, and he has to choose the only movie that he thinks is the best.After the association has collected all the votes from these members, it will start counting, and finally select the six films with the highest vote rate, which means that there is only one tenth of the survival rate.

Then, the executive committee of the committee will select three foreign language films that are more suitable for them from the foreign language films other than the six films, so six films plus three films make a total of nine films.This is just the result after the preliminary round. As for the nine films, the next step is to accept voting—then what association will specially invite members of the so-called special jury to present three films a day in New York and Los Angeles? In the order of reading, watch for three days in a row, and then vote for the one you think is the best after watching it.After counting the votes, the five best films were selected, and these five films were victories in the rematch and finally nominated for Oscars!That's right, at this point it's just a nomination!

Then, the 5 films nominated in this way will be judged by a huge jury - a jury composed of more than 4000 film industry authorities to select a best foreign language film.As for the more than [-] authoritative figures in the film and television industry, it goes without saying that they are all members of that association.Most of these members are Americans, but well-known film practitioners from other parts of the world will also be invited to join.So if it really starts from the primary election to being nominated, then it is enough luck and enough trouble. If you can really win an award in the end, it is really like a stroke of luck—movies are sometimes a thing of the past. It's the same as being a human being, and it's not RMB. How can it be liked by everyone?And the problem is that the voters are all their own peers!Is this fatal or not?

So to be honest, Jia Hongjian really thinks Lao Mouzi and the others are amazing if these films can be nominated!Really great!If he were to come here, he would probably be able to set off firecrackers to celebrate just being nominated—don’t just look at our movie on the surface that defeated a dozen competitors and successfully won a [-] out of [-] chance. In fact, a country can only choose to send one a year!This means that before entering the Oscars, it must first beat other domestic films of the same year!So is there much competition?So is it difficult?

Moreover, this thing still needs to be selected by the organization... Is there something tricky in this thing?Will it be like the national team of the Football Association, where no entry is allowed without payment?You must know that the football association and the league have started to rot, it is almost the beginning of the past few years!Moreover, there are so many tricks in the circle of "reckless people" who play football, so will it be even more excessive in the film circle of "cultural people" who are originally playing intrigue?

Jia Hongjian is not a kid in his teens, he is not a kid who thinks that the society is full of truth, kindness and beauty, he doesn't think that everyone in the society treats him unconditionally like his parents, and he doesn't think that everyone in the world treats him unconditionally. Like the teachers in my school, I will take the initiative to tell myself things!No matter what Jia Hongjian said, he has seen all kinds of worlds!To put it bluntly, as soon as he hears someone rejecting him, and then he still refuses with all kinds of hard and soft words, even if the other party doesn't say anything else, he can know that the other party may mean "a little bit of meaning"!Can young people understand this kind of thing?So from the very beginning, Jia Hongjian never thought that this association would be completely clean!He had to think ahead of time what to do if he was hacked!It is true that Jia Hongjian will be able to take revenge at that time, but if some things are delayed, he will miss his whole life!For example, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", if you miss the registration that is about to start, will this film still be able to participate in the Oscars next year?Impossible!

So, at this time, Jia Hongjian simply let go and asked Jing Guoping, "Old Jing, is there anything tricky about the general work of this Film Association?" Fortunately, we don’t have to mess with the Film Association, otherwise we would have been pissed off by them! Those bastards!” Hey!Jing Guoping, who usually never swears, actually started cursing at this time!What kind of anger do you have to make people like this?Could it be that the National Film Association is so bad?Is it more "akimbo" than the Football Association?

Before Jia Hongjian asked, he heard Jing Guoping say indignantly: "Mr. Jia, you don't even know that the domestic film association has no credibility at all! The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards they hold are originally about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards." The award is an award selected by art practitioners, while the Hundred Flowers Award is voted by the audience. Theoretically, one is biased towards art and the other is biased toward business, is it? Later, the film industry was a bit sluggish in 92. The ceremonies of these two awards The two are combined into one, and the awards are still separate. Although the scope of domestic films has been expanded to include Chinese-language films since 93, you also know that in those years, how many films in China could be regarded as being watched by people in a year? Cinemas have closed down How many, and how many people still watch movies? But the output of movies has not decreased! One or two hundred movies are produced a year, and some go directly to the theater for a day. Only one-tenth of the films were made, and even more films were not even eligible to be released! Then these films that did not even have the eligibility to be released, and did not pass the review at all, ended up winning the Golden Rooster Awards... ...Do you think it's unusual?"

"Can it still be like this? Then a person with such a real level will give up?" Jia Hongjian was puzzled when he heard it at the time. If this matter was placed on him, if the award he should have been given to a movie that has not been released Don't worry, he, Jia Hongjian, is fighting for his future so don't make a big deal out of it!He still didn't believe that the other party dared to kill him!Even if he dared to kill him, he would drag him to hell with him!He, Jia Hongjian, had never been bullied like this in his whole life!Can Jia Hongjian bear this kind of anger?His temper usually seems to be quite good, if he encounters such a thing of being bullied by others, he will definitely blow up immediately!

"Hmph! Those people from the Film Association don't know whether they still have integrity or they are afraid of being made a big deal, so they are very smart, so they come here with double yolks. That is, for example, your Mr. Jia's film should win an award, He gave you an award, but, you won the award with a movie whose name you have never heard of... The master behind the movie must also have status and influence, at least in this circle, then you will fight to the death with others fight?" Lao Jing asked with a sneer... (to be continued...)
