Disaster Artist

Here, I need to remind the timeline. It is still the second week of January, the Golden Sparrow Awards have just ended, and "City of Falling Stars" has just completed the feat of three consecutive championships.

In other words, the footsteps of "City of Starfall" in writing history have only begun to set sail, and people have no way of knowing what height this movie will reach in the end; at the same time, the first phase of the award season has just ended, and the next second phase This is the real key, who will win is still an unknown.

However, Lanchuan is still under the dark tide, with swords and swords—

Blue Whale Films has undoubtedly touched the top ranks of the Lanchuan Pyramid, and will also get rid of its status as a bystander and become a chess player.

In addition, as the soul of Blue Whale Films and the well-deserved leader of the new generation of directors, Lu Qian also stands in the center of the storm.

Not only is Lu Qian's every move able to set off stormy waves, but many actions of other film companies may also be fully laid out around Lu Qian.

From Damen Films to Lion Films to Streamer Films, including Summit Entertainment and Qiyang Media, the branches centered on Lu Qian are becoming more and more lush and lively, and the closely entangled interest relationship is being broken. The old order in Lanchuan gradually opened up a whole new world.

Looking at the pattern of five or ten years, this year's awards season is only a small part of it. Although this year's awards season is a battleground for military strategists, outside of the battleground, they need to see Longer-term and more grand, the overall layout of the plan is densely intertwined.

Therefore, this year's awards season is very important, very, very important, but after the Golden Sparrow Awards ended, the plans and layouts hidden behind the hustle and bustle of the awards season are also turbulent, and have even escaped the shackles of the present, and launched a comprehensive layout. Change and progress are indeed approaching.

Then-

Rise to the overall attention, and refocus on this year's awards season.

Perhaps, the winning results of a Golden Book Award cannot overturn the entire industry structure, but the trend of the winning results can reflect the changes in the power structure of the industry, and provide a perspective for the top players in Lanchuan, providing reference data for subsequent plans , to make more correct decisions.

Three days after the Golden Sparrow Awards ended, the 89th Golden Book Awards also officially announced the nomination list.

Here I need to mention why people are used to using the Golden Bird Award as a watershed to divide the awards season into the first stage and the second stage. This is the reason—

Three or four days after the Golden Sparrow Awards are over, the Golden Book Awards will announce the nomination list, which is always the case.

Therefore, the well-connected Lanchuan Journalists Association is responsible for awarding the Golden Sparrow Award, which can be regarded as the conclusions they have drawn from the industry’s internal information and rumors. They act as a weathervane and provide people with a reference for the current situation, and give some hints through the results of the awards. , indicating the direction.

To be precise, the Golden Sparrow Award has never been a "selected" award, but a prediction summed up by the Lanchuan Journalists Association based on their own information. Execute to the end, and get the full support of the industry.

This year, no exception—

After the Golden Sparrow Awards ended, the Golden Book Awards announced the nomination list step by step, kicking off the grand prelude to the second phase of the awards season.

The whole of Lanchuan is in the spotlight.

Because this year's competition is too fierce and tense, it has truly verified the saying "nomination is victory"; at the same time, because this year's competition is too close and exciting, it has once again verified the saying "nomination depends on strength, and winning depends on luck". sentence.

Compared with any previous year, the proportion of the college's public relations force is lower, because there are too many excellent works, and because all companies are making efforts, the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, a hundred flowers are blooming, and their strengths are almost the same. It is also a human relationship, the former is public relations and the latter is also public relations, and the influence of only relying on public relations to create momentum is naturally limited.

Perhaps in the end, it still depends on personal preference and the competition of absolute strength.

Therefore, in such a fierce competition, "nomination is victory". Similarly, being able to stand out from such close competition and win a nomination has proved its strength. The list is even more worth looking forward to, and all eyes are gathered.

Then-

On January 17, the list of nominations for the Golden Book Awards was fully announced.

Best Picture Nominations, "Arrival," "Blood," "Miss Nightingale," "The Post," "Moonlight," "Billboard," "Hell or High Water," "Phantom Clothes," "Beach Town," " City of Starfall".

Ten seats, all filled.

Popular works, all in place without landing.

Among them, the biggest surprise is undoubtedly the counterattack at the last moment of "Head or Water". This black crime film produced by Damen Films is hailed as a big surprise. It shows the charm of images with a retro and calm attitude, from script to performance. Then to the director and so on, all the levels are impressive.

The only pity is that the theme of black crime is not a frequent visitor to the Golden Book Awards. In addition, there are so many strong people this year, and they will always be in the second group in the first half of the awards season; After breaking through, "Going through thick and thin" also brought surprises. Damen Films has won a big victory in this year's awards season—

Either don't nominate all the time, or nominate two films in one go.

In addition, the commercial sci-fi film "Arrival", which has been acclaimed since the beginning of the Blue Summer Film Festival, finally took a place in the best picture nomination. With this work, Tianshan Entertainment avoided the tragic fate of being completely forgotten this year , this is also a moment worthy of applause and celebration.

So, what about regrets?

Not without it.

In such fierce competition, it is inevitable that there will be regrets. "She" of Streamer Pictures, "Cheetah" of Magic Pictures, "Darkest Hour" of Qiyang Media, "Lion" of Webster Brothers Pictures, Lion Film industry's "Hidden Figures", Summit Entertainment's "Attachment" and other works are all regretfully missed nominations~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The most eye-catching thing is not the highly anticipated "she" who returned home without a feather, or the early stage that caused many Discussing the "hidden figure" holding the counterattack script is not the "lion" of the Webster brothers' comeback, but the "cheetah".

Fantastic Pictures is ambitious. They spent 30 million on public relations throughout the awards season, hoping that "Cheetah", which has exploded in both word of mouth and box office, can break through the barriers and become the first superhero movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Book Awards. , This is also the focus of their overall layout in the next stage.

Unfortunately, it fell short.

It’s not that Fantastic Pictures didn’t work hard enough, it’s that the competition for this year’s bayonet was too fierce, and even the last ten nominations were crowded to the point of being bloody. In the end, “Cheetah” just missed the nomination. It is born at an untimely time, and it may be easily shortlisted in another year.

But precisely because of this, the competition for the Golden Book Awards has risen to a new level this year. Even if it wins the best picture nomination, it does not mean victory.

Nominations depend on both quantity and quality. The best film is just one of the many awards in the Golden Book Awards.
