Chapter 632 Fighting Oscar Again

The hype routine of Dean Films is to get nominated by vigorously publicizing the Golden Globes and Oscars at the same time.

In the end, give the movie "Cinema Paradise" publicity through the media and film critics. If it wins, it's fine, just promote the Oscar win.

Once you don't win an award, you can cause controversy and sympathy as a tragic person.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that the movie "Paradise Cinema" is indeed liked by many filmmakers, and it can be said that it has scratched their itch!
A love letter to movies, is there any romance that belongs to filmmakers?
What's interesting is, I don't know if it's because Li Yi won several awards in the past two years, and the confidence index of domestic netizens in Li Yi is simply overwhelming.

"6666, five Oscar nominations, seven Golden Globe nominations, I just want to ask who else?"

"Is the wave of "Paradise Cinema" stable?"

"The commercial movies directed by Dog are awesome, who would have thought that literary movies can be so awesome!"

"It's really the only one in China!"

"Is there a play for the best director?"

"It's hard to say the best director, but there is still hope for the best foreign language film!"

"Dean Films is responsible for the distribution, and Hollywood is blowing up "Cinema Paradiso", so it's impossible for all five nominations to fail?"

"It's a pity that "Paradise Cinema" is classified as an Italian film, not a Chinese film, hey!"

"The box office is amazing, the awards are awesome, Director Dog hastened to make another one, and went to the Berlin Film Festival to have fun, and it would be best to win the Golden Bear Award, then it would be a big grand slam, there is no such number in the world people!"

"That's right, the Oscar for Best Picture has already been won, the Cannes Double Egg Palme d'Or, the Venice Golden Lion, and the Berlin Golden Bear just short of it."

"Suddenly I feel that the Oscars are not so attractive. It would be interesting if the Berlin Film Festival was there."

In fact, the main public relations of Dean Films this time is really not the Oscars, because according to their evaluation, it is almost impossible for "Paradise Cinema" to win the best director among the nominations.

The Oscars need to accumulate points, and there are a lot of old guys competing for the best director in this year's Oscars. The probability of Li Yi winning the award is too low.

There is a little hope for the best foreign language film award, but it is hard to say. After all, the Oscar is not the Venice Film Festival, and political correctness is inevitable in the Oscar.

This year, there are three LGBT-themed films competing for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

However, most of the Hollywood media are touting "Paradise Cinema".

"Cinema Paradise" looks like a big hit at the Oscars, but Li Yi knows that this year's Oscars, the probability of losing the grand prize is very high.

Yes, "Paradise Cinema" is indeed very popular with those old guys in the academy, but at the same time, they have to compromise with political correctness.

Therefore, the best way for "Paradise Cinema" is to tout it as an Oscar hit, and if the award fails, it will be convenient for them to hype it up.

This is also a routine.

Some people may say that "Paradise Cinema" won the Golden Lion Award?
But for Oscar, this is not an option to add points, but to deduct points.

On February 2th, the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards Dinner was held.

"Paradise Cinema" became the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards, including Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Soundtrack, and Best Supporting Actor!

Seven nominations for four awards, not to mention the most valuable awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director.

And the public relations team of Dean Films also took advantage of the announcement of the Golden Globe Awards to start hyping "Cinema Paradiso"!
"Cinema Paradiso is a paradise of bygone days, a paradise of honesty, and a paradise of movies!" -Los Angeles Times
""Paradise Cinema" is a lyrical prose poem for the art of film." - "Variety"

"The long and gentle music, the rhythm of still water and the slow flow, and the real life pictures make "Paradise Cinema" a gentle dwelling in the heart of every movie lover." -Hollywood Reporter!

""Paradise Cinema" became the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards. It fused the era with warmth, growth and nostalgia. Let us walk into this paradise-like cinema together and experience a different kind of touch." ——News Frontline!
For a while, it seemed that "Cinema Paradiso" had really become the biggest hit at the Oscars.

And many film critics also praised "Paradise Cinema" one after another!
People in the Hollywood industry didn't pay much attention, because, generally speaking, the Oscars are the real hits!
Unless it is a movie that really changes the movie landscape, generally speaking, those old guys don't like being influenced by the media at all.

Another point is that Li Yi's attitude towards the Oscars is not that eager. This also makes "Paradise Cinema"'s chances of winning the award even slimmer.

But when the news spread back to China, it was overwhelming.

"Damn it, Director Dog is amazing, another best director, best foreign language film!"

"The Golden Globes are the bellwether of the Oscars. Doesn't this mean that the Oscars are stable?"

"Those upstairs, don't rush to get excited. The judges of the Golden Globe Awards don't coincide with the Oscars at all. The Golden Globe Awards are just guessing!"

"But the Golden Globes are indeed an indicator of the Oscars, aren't they?"

"The nominations are all about the same, and the winning rate is estimated to be about the same, right?"

"The only thing that can be determined is the best soundtrack. I hope it is very high. I can't say anything else!"

"Anyway, it's over if you're awesome!"

All the movie fans felt as if it was another Chinese New Year, all kinds of surprises, all kinds of admiration.

The main reason is that "Cinema Paradise" is really good enough, Golden Lion Award, Special Jury Award, Best Director!

And now the Golden Globe Awards, known as the wind vane of Oscars, also won four awards including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director. For a while, everyone naturally had higher expectations for this year's Oscars.

Not only that, Li Yi had won the best picture once before, so many movie fans had the illusion that it was easy to win the award!

The Golden Globes are awarded just five days before the Oscars.

Because "Paradise Cinema" has once again become an Oscar hit, Penguin Video has won the broadcast rights of this year's Oscars this time with a lot of money.

Soon the annual Academy Awards ceremony will arrive.

Many people in China are paying attention, not only movie fans and netizens, but also many domestic filmmakers.

After all, if Li Yi came back with another Oscar, he would really be a complete god.

The Oscars are different from the three major European film festivals. Getting an invitation does not mean winning an award. Historically, seven or eight Oscar nominations ended up empty-handed.

Of course, this will make the Oscars more suspenseful.

For example, everyone thought that "The Truman Show" had little chance of winning the award, but it unexpectedly won the best picture.
