[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

"Venice is winning Best Actor! "The Artist" wins the Venice Film Festival!"

—— "Venice Film News"

"It is reported that "The Artist" starring Fopper has become the big winner of this year's Venice Film Festival. Most of the audience are full of admiration for this nostalgic black-and-white film. The plot of the movie in the movie is even more amazing. George in "The Artist" even played against the famous star Douglas in "The Mark of Zorro", which is even more surprising..."

"The pinnacle of silent films! "The Artist" deserves to be an artist!"

——"Bild"

"The much-anticipated 'The Artist' was an instant hit at the Venice Film Festival. Michael Hazanavicius recreated the black-and-white silent film in the most daring way possible, and Fopper, with the mustache, gave a terrific performance. Controversy. "The Artist" is a poetic and moving pure musical that, though without lines, tells a timeless romance in silence..."

"A multi-talented star! "The Artist" is popular all over the world!"

——The Hollywood Times

Although the trend of "The Artist" is still raging on the European continent, this movie has not yet been released in the American continent.But because of Fopper's unique influence in the United States.So most of the newspapers still reported on The Artist.At this time, Fopper is no longer who he was in "The Tuner".Therefore, Fopper, who once again won the Best Actor in Venice, also made Hollywood in the United States proud.Although Fopper is a Chinese person through and through.But he made his name in Hollywood after all.And there is also an American husband who is also in Hollywood.In a sense, he is already an American in the hearts of Americans.So you can catch a wave of European movie kings.Most Hollywood people are happy.

"Fopper tap-dancing is impeccable, and Natalie Portman has never been more beautiful. And the emotion of the film is much more complex than it appears. There are many The classic plots of classic movies, including "A Star Is Born", "Singin' in the Rain" and so on. Even the actor's dog can remind people of the snow white in "The Adventures of Tintin". It can be said that here In the film you can find the brilliant art of the past few decades..."

In this way, "The Artist" became popular as a niche literary film.Certainly not as popular as a commercial film.But compared to other art films, it is enough to attract attention.

The United States will always rely on capital to speak.I saw that "The Artist" was so popular.So it stands to reason that the speed at which Disney Pictures released this movie has increased unprecedentedly.The movie originally planned to be released in November was released very quickly in mid-October.As for why not in December?Disney said that they are not so stupid yet, using literary and artistic films to mix up the Christmas schedule.

And what Disney did was indeed very wise.Taking advantage of the rapid release of "The Artist" when it is popular and famous, in the first week, "The Artist" entered the top 1100 box office rankings with a proud $5 million, which surprised everyone's attention .After all, The Artist is an art film through and through.That's not to say that art films won't do well at the box office.It's just that the movie "The Artist" does not have elements that can generate high box office.First of all he is a silent film.This special situation has greatly reduced the audience's interest in movies.After all, young people basically don't like movies without sound.In addition, it is still a black and white movie... So the box office of 1100 million in the first week is definitely because "The Artist" is so popular during this period, and many people are curious.

In fact, this is also the case. In the second week of "The Artist"'s release, its box office quickly fell back to 560 million.The drop exceeded 40.00%.Although Disney has increased the number of screening theaters.But it was still useless.

But even so, "The Artist" still earned its money back.And because of the long reaction period of art films, which seems to be constipated, "The Artist" not only made back its capital, but also made a lot of money.It was released for 3 months and received a total of more than 5000 million box office results.Even in the box-office hot Christmas period, "The Artist" still earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.It even had a brief uptick at the box office until after Christmas, when the Golden Globe nominations came in.

And "The Artist" really lived up to expectations.It's like sweeping the Golden Globes like sweeping Europe before. "The Artist" won six nominations at the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture in Musical Comedy, Best Actor in Musical Comedy, Best Soundtrack, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. In addition to director, "The Artist" won the remaining five awards.And Fopper also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor again because of "The Artist".And it is another kind of musical comedy actor besides drama movies.Let him become one of the few movie stars in history who won all the two types of Golden Globe winners.

On January 1th, filmmakers from all over the world sat in front of the TV regardless of the time difference, waiting for the moment when the nominations for the 12st Oscars were announced. Reporters from major newspapers such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Daily, The Sun, and China Times were no surprises, squatting in front of the auditorium where Oscar nominations were announced.The executives of major movies, especially those of Disney, are all waiting for this important moment.

And in fact? "The Artist" doesn't live up to the hopes of others.Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing.A total of ten Oscar nominations!Not to mention unprecedented, but it can be regarded as a rare film nomination award in Oscar history.In this year's Oscars, except for "Slumdog Millionaire", there is no way for any movie to compete with it.

Most of the media went crazy because of this.Everything is buzzing about The Artist movie.It's anyone's guess how crazy this year's The Artist will be.You know, last year's Screenwriters Guild strike still affected Hollywood.This year's many films with inconsistent writing and directing have all suffered.And it is not an unacceptable fact that the self-written and directed film "The Artist" stands out.What's more, it has swept most of the European film festivals and the Golden Globes, which is known as the Oscar outpost.

And in these media, there is more discussion on whether Fopper can get the best actor.Became the first actor of the yellow race in history.

In various analyzes, a large number of people feel that this probability is possible.Even very large.Because Fopper's performance in "The Artist" is really amazing.Even "Milk", which is also a hit this year, is the same.No one has ever performed as well in a silent film as Fopper has.

Therefore, for China, and even the entire Asian film industry, there is only one thing to watch for this year's Oscars, and that is to see if Fopper will win the first acting award for an Asian actor.And according to the rumors in the entertainment industry all over the world, Fopper has a very high chance of winning an award this time.

As the date of the award draws closer, movie fans all over China feel their emotions are getting more and more excited, as if the Huaxia football team entered the World Cup finals. As "Tuner" began to enter the entertainment circle, Fopper, Finally, another great opportunity to receive the highest honor in showbiz.

Day by day, in the anticipation of fans all over the world, on February 2, this year's 22st Academy Awards still officially kicked off at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.

Due to the endless turmoil in the film industry last year, this year's Oscars ceremony is extraordinarily grand. More than 2000 celebrities and celebrities will be invited to attend.

Although Paramount has already sunk down, it still shows the demeanor of the overlord of the film industry.Among the six major film companies, Disney is the most glorious.After absorbing Goldfinger Film Company, there is no doubt that Disney has become the leader among film companies.This can be seen from the smile on the face of Disney's boss.

With the entrance of the world's major film forces, the much-anticipated Oscar ceremony has begun.The 4000 people in the Kodak Theater applauded thunderously, and then the big screen on the stage slowly rose, and Hugh Jackman, who became famous for "X-Men", stepped onto the awarding stage: "Welcome everyone to this year's Oscar Awards Ceremony.

"When I was backstage just now, I heard the staff of "The Artist" and "Slumdog Millionaire" say that they want to see Nolan and Cameron fight tonight, then "The Artist" and "Slumdog Millionaire" will fight. The DVD sales of "Slumdog Millionaire" may be even hotter. In fact, I personally hope that they will kiss each other on the spot, and then it will be attached to the DVD as a poster. In this way, I think the sales of the DVD may be even stronger. gratifying."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.But this is also common sense at the Oscars.That is, his award-giving atmosphere must be relaxed and happy.

With the banter over, the ceremony officially began.

The Best Original Song Award, Best Original Music Award, and Best Sound Synthesis Award, the three technical awards were undoubtedly won by "Slumdog Millionaire".And this side of "The Artist" is not to be outdone.The best costume design and best cinematography awards also competed with "Slumdog Millionaire".Of the remaining nominated films, with the exception of "Batman," none of them has won more than two film awards.

However, although these awards have been surprising.But as most people in Hollywood know, it's all appetizers.The real gold content is the last seven awards.Or the final four awards.

"So... what we are announcing now is this year's Best Actor Award!" After announcing the Best Actress Award for which "The Artist" and "Slumdog Millionaire" were not nominated, Hussman Looking around for a week, I am finally ready to announce the most eye-catching Oscar award this time.

——AOL

The Internet media started to promote it one after another.On the other hand, Fopper, who was at the Kodak Theater, heard that he had won the Oscar winner.What I feel is not only a kind of joy, but also a sense of disappearance.The fading sense of that crisis.he knows.The ten-year death crisis is over, and from now on, he will lead his own life.

"Huh!" exhaled deeply.Looking at the camera, Fopper burst into a big smile, and then walked towards the podium calmly. His legend is just beginning now!
