The Director of Music Department - Chapter 1414
Although it is said that film has been a commodity since its inception, it is also called the seventh art.
But with the development of the times, gradually, films began to be divided into commercial films and art films.
And business and art have always been opposites.
If a movie sells big, most of the time, it must be labeled as commercial.
Because art has always been a minority, art has always been a minority, never a mass.
The big sales of the movie show that the movie has been affirmed by the public, so is it still art?
The same is true of “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”. This movie, obviously, has the potential to sell well, and the screenwriter of “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” is Wang Yifan.
Although Wang Yifan won the Oscar for best director award.
But in fact, what happened to “Titanic” winning the prize, everyone knows, it is definitely not because of how big the artistic composition of “Titanic” is and how high the artistic achievement is.
But when a movie reaches a record box office, then at this time, business will in turn affect the so-called art.
After all, even though the Oscars advertised as a palace of art, in fact, the mode of operation of Oscars is very commercial.
Therefore, Wang Yifan won the award, in fact, will not be labeled as an art director. On the contrary, many people believe that Wang Yifan is the most successful representative in business.
Because he used commercial films to force Oscar’s art to compromise with business.
Similarly, Jack Curtis, the name of his tens of billions of directors, is naturally a commercial film director.
As we all know, whether it is a director or an actor.
In fact, those so-called literary and artistic people are obviously discriminatory.
For example, a little plum from a previous life.
Naturally, he would not be treated by the Oscars, otherwise he would not be ugly, and finally won the award from a cream nanny to a middle-aged greasy man!
And this is because Xiao Lizi has been kneeling and licking Oscar. He used practical actions to prove that he was chasing art.
And if Jack Curtis wants to get another Oscar for best director, then he must also make a real art movie, a real niche movie.
No, one piece may not be enough, because it can’t make the old guys think that you are really pursuing Oscars.
And “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” is obviously not a so-called niche movie. Naturally, this movie cannot be recognized by awards.
Of course, directors who have reached the level of Wang Yifan and Jack Curtis, in fact, do not attach the same importance to Oscars as Xiao Li, and even become obsessive.
Jack Curtis also won an Oscar, so the award is not really that important to him.
In the same way, Oscar is not that important to “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”.
Because the big sale of this movie is almost a foregone conclusion, the audience’s reputation can be said to be bursting.
Even for those film critics who advertise art, they have to compliment this film. It is a successful commercial film, but it lacks artistic elements.
Therefore, Oscar has always been icing on the cake for “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, rather than giving away charcoal in snow.
In fact, the reason why Oscar’s influence is so great has never been because of how high and pure the artistic achievement of this award is, but because of the brand of Oscar as an award.
Yes, it is the brand. This brand is well done and has a large enough influence.
And how does influence come from?
Why are so many movies rushing to this award?
The irony is that once this award is received, it will greatly bless the film’s income.
In the end, the same thing is to use commercial things to speak.
In fact, in Hollywood, actresses are not as admired as many people think!
Don’t you see a lot of movie kings, or movie queens, but after getting the Oscar, there has been a huge decline in his career.
To put it bluntly, it was fooled.
“Is Oscar really not that important?” Chen Shaojun did not understand.
Yes, in fact, for many domestic directors, Oscar is really the highest honor they can dream of.
Yes, although I don’t say it, in fact, the influence is true.
“It depends on what you think. You have to know that when the Chinese did not get the three majors in Europe, the influence of the three majors in Europe may not be worse than that of the Oscars, or even worse.” Wang Yifan said with a smile. .
“And when a domestic director wins any of the three major European film festivals, you will find that there will be a lot of tap water in the country to help you tout this award, and even they will dismiss the Oscars, thinking, Oscars are not pure.”
Chen Shaojun listened, think about it, it really is like this.
“In fact, the reason is very simple. In the early years, the film market in China was very small. It can be said that making movies is a loss of business, so how can we make money? Going to foreign countries to win awards, and to win awards, then Waifu will be easy to sell. As a result, more and more people are starting to make films that are themselves prepared for these film festivals.”
“And when there are more people winning awards at these film festivals, you will find that, except when the awards are won, the media and the public will be carnival. At other times, they are actually ignored. In fact, In our country, some people have become famous for many years and have won this kind of awards, but they may not be so good now. Therefore, awards are really often the icing on the cake.”
“Why do you say that? Because, when you are not famous, getting an award will certainly make you famous, but this name, on the contrary, will often limit your own development, because after receiving the award, you will be an international movie star. After the movie queen, will the price rise? But in fact, the box office appeal has not increased much. For investors, it is at most one more gimmick.
But for the actors themselves, after receiving the awards, do you choose to continue to work hard in literary and artistic films, or switch to commercial films?
Continue to cultivate literary and artistic movies, so as long as you do not continue to win awards, it is not considered a success, but winning awards in a row is not realistic in itself, but turning to commercial films, but there is another problem. Winning awards does not mean that you are true. The strength or acting skills are higher than others, and the box office appeal has nothing to do with the awards. At this time, it will become a little embarrassing. ”
“Of course, it’s not that winning awards is useless, at least when you are successful, then your awards will become a solid foundation for your background.”
Wang Yifan said with a smile.
In fact, this is really not difficult to understand.
In his previous life, Xia Yu was arguably the youngest actor at the Venice Film Festival.
However, the activity and popularity obviously do not match the awards he received, and even Xia Yu’s presence in the entertainment industry is extremely weak.
Therefore, awards are not a life-saving medicine, nor are they as important as you might think!
