886: Awards Season
Li Donglai has become more and more home-loving these days. He doesn't hang out with Black as soon as his work is over. He goes home early every day. Sometimes he feels that the scenes that day may not be filmed before leaving get off work, and he even gets off work early.
When the Golden Globe Awards nomination was announced, Li Donglai watched it at home with Yoona and the others. Without the Phantom movie, looking at the Golden Globe Awards from the perspective of bystanders, he suddenly found that this year was particularly unattractive.
The Golden Globe Awards are nothing to do with him, but some people are thinking about him. Vanity Fair magazine chose Li Donglai as the cover character of the year and went to Boston to take photos and interviews, asking about the thoughts of Li Donglai's failure to be shortlisted this year.
Li Donglai was quite helpless and had to say: "This year, all the films are filmed, and most of them are not favored by awards. Moreover, the plan is mostly prepared for next year. I hope that next year, I can shoot movies that the public and judges think are good, and accept reviews of major awards."
Then, the cover title of "Vanity Fair" was added: "Li Donglai booked the 2012 Golden Globe Awards and Oscar tickets."
This article changed expectations into courage. With a few more words and fewer words, the meaning will completely change. But with this cover story and such text reports, the sales of this issue of "Vanity Fair" has increased a lot and has been reprinted by many online media. Among them, there are many good things media analyzed how likely Li Donglai will enter next year?
Did Li Donglai really say this? Or were they fabricated out of thin air?
Of course, movie fans don’t know, but gossip news has always been “If you believe it, you will have it; if you don’t believe it, you will have nothing.”
There are many people who choose to believe. They won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director at the age of 23, were nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards, and won the Academy Award for Best Screenwriter for two consecutive years. There is no one nomination yet?
But the latest news about him is that there is only one comedy film and one science fiction film, and there is no other filming news. If it is normal, Li Donglai would be arrogant and crazy enough to speak wildly like this?
People who hate Li Donglai all sarcastically said: "He shouldn't make such stupid promises." A loyal fan exonerated him. If Li Donglai had not accepted a superhero film, how could he not be nominated? Superheroes have never been favored by grand prizes. And Li Donglai will film a science fiction film in the future... Science fiction films have always only won technical awards. Damn it, it seems that it is really difficult.
"Iron Man 2" swept the world's billion-dollar box office last year, but it was something that fans talked about.
If Li Donglai didn't go to shoot, how could they see such a wonderful video?
A large number of people also disdain this, just unscrupulous media make up.
Li Donglai doesn't care, in fact, he is very confident in getting a ticket.
This program is already very familiar. First, you have to register. Then on December 1, the list of nomination candidates is sent to the judges. Then Ernst & Young will take it back on the 11th. In theory, you will be eligible for the registration. Even if the judges have never watched that movie, they can vote.
In fact, whether the judges have carefully watched all the candidate movies has always been one of the controversial topics. How to impress the judges depends on the operating methods of the distribution company. However, no matter how powerful the operation is, no one will vote for a film that has not been produced well, has no screening venues for judges, and has no releases.
But big-name directors have one advantage: they are particularly valued by judges. For example, Li Donglai, even if the film is not released, it will attract much attention. Who doesn’t want to watch the new movie of Li Donglai, "wizard, genius"? The new work of the Best Director at the last Golden Globe Awards!
Li Donglai himself doesn't care about this nomination. He has already won what he deserves, and he doesn't demand to win all the money. It's better to have a box office now.
He deserves to be released this year to laugh at him, who told him to be so crazy in the first two award-winning seasons?
Envy, jealousy and hatred, and now you have to add a trick to the point. Don’t expect Hollywood to have such noble integrity.
Awards have been highly regarded in Hollywood this year, but in South Korea, Phantom is definitely a big winner.
On the current box office rankings, although the limelight of "Fighting Boy Wan De" was seized by "Twilight 4" in "The Crown of Twilight", the total box office has exceeded 5 million. After Kim Tae-hee, the second beautiful director was successfully renamed. They did not rely on their beauty and hype to make the movie famous. This movie is indeed commendable and has also received many nominations for awards such as the Blue Dragon Award, the Baeksang Art Award, and the Big Bell Award.
South Korea's annual box office champion "Final Weapon: Bow" 7.47 million visitors, runner-up "Sunshine Sisters Tao" 7.37 million visitors, third place "Fighting Boy Wan De" 5.31 million visitors, fifth place is also the Phantom's "The Furnace" produced by Phantom. In addition to the fourth place "The Secret of the Mountain Aconite/Korean Detective" won 4.79 million visitors and defended a self-esteem for a veteran Korean film company, the top five have been won by Phantom.
What is most shocking is that Phantom South Korea only screened four movies this year, but these four movies rushed to the top five. It is easy to imagine how big this impact is for Korean filmmakers.
For a moment, the Phantom Threat Theory floated up again. This time it was not just speculation, but had become a fact.
"Look at the news in China. They have publicly clamored that Korean movies have been occupied by China. After all, Phantom is not a pure Korean company. Its capital comes from Hollywood and China, and its boss Li Donglai is also a Chinese. And so many filmmakers in our Republic of Korea can only watch the top five in the box office rankings being seized by Li Donglai. In the long run, will all Korean movies have their surname Li?"
All Asian countries have strong nationalism, such as China, Japan, and South Korea.
This kind of report was initially on the Internet, and gradually it was reprinted by some tabloid magazines, but the big newspapers were still restrained. After all, there is no need to specifically mention the case and stab themselves. Because Li Donglai made these movies, no matter what the original intention was, he made contributions to Korean movies. The people who made the movies were Koreans, the actors were Koreans, and only the funds were Hollywood and the boss was Chinese. How did they deny these movies?
How many people in South Korea have watched these four movies this year, plus "Uncle" with 9 million visitors last year and "Speed Scandals" with 8 million visitors, respectively, ranked first and second in 2010. The six movies released by the Phantom have now exceeded 42 million viewers, and the total population of South Korea is only 50 million.
This is a huge group, and every movie is like such a considerable number of viewers, which shows that the Phantom has cultivated a large number of fans who attach importance to movies.
Once it is denied, wouldn’t it be denied by all Koreans?
No politician dares to make such a decision like this. However, the Phantom's scenery and potential threats are real, making them unable to pretend to be invisible.
The unscrupulous netizens don’t have so many concerns. A post expressed their thoughts, “Who said other film companies are so cowardly? It’s not that they don’t want to watch your movies, it’s not that they don’t want to watch them. If you show sincerity to make movies and make good movies, everyone is willing to watch them. No one will be unable to get along with good movies. The Phantom can rise in just three years, and the first year was just a TV series, and no movie was released. Their rise depends not only on Li Donglai’s fame and luck, but on the basis of solid work and solid film quality. Everyone should not only grasp the issue of ‘Li Donglai is a Chinese’ and ‘Phantom is Hollywood’. They should open their eyes and see the facts clearly, learn about the strengths of Phantom, and make good movies that are admired by the Chinese people, rather than just hiding in the corner to curse and envy…”
This is a post written by a netizen named "hiroshi" on a popular forum called "media" in South Korea.
There are all kinds of nationalists gathered here. When you see such posts that make others more ambitious and devastating your might, of course, there are all kinds of slaps and ridicules. Some radicals even threaten to kill him to show him goodbye.
The administrator of the forum put the post for good reason, and called it "hung up and whipped the corpse."
But the post was hung there for a day or two and became more and more popular. Every time a netizen clicked on a post and saw a slander of incompetence in the front row, he began to feel disgusted. Gradually, the post became more and more popular, and a group of netizens who agreed with the post flocked in and held a heated discussion on the forum.
Most of the people who love to surf the Internet are young people in big cities. How many of these people dare to say that they have never seen the Phantom movies and have not given their own copy to the Phantom's such a hot box office. Once this question was posted, many trolls immediately shut up.
After repeated arguments, the post became a magical post for this forum. The number of comments and clicks reached a very terrifying level. Every day, a large number of netizens watch the verbal battles under this post online, which is even more exciting than the novel.
Although there are still many stubborn netizens, it does not prevent the post from becoming popular. "hiroshi" has also changed from being called out to being a famous celebrity in the forum at the beginning.
This is a later story. Fortunately, the official institutions will not make the mistake of ignorant nationalists. As the end of the year approaches, the award ceremony of major Korean film festivals has gradually begun. The Phantom is nominated for nominations, and those who deserve to win will continue to win awards.
The first to be announced was the 48th Korean Dazhong Awards held in Seoul in early November.
At the awards ceremony, the box office champion of the 2011 Korean local movie "The Final Weapon: The Bow" won four awards, including Best Actor and Best Female Newcomer.
Best Actor Award: Park Hae-il's "Final Weapon: Bow" Best New Actress Award: Moon Cai-won's "Final Weapon: Bow" Best Imaging Technology Award: "Final Weapon: Bow" Best Technology Award: "Final Weapon: Bow" is an absolute favorite.
The box office runner-up "Sunshine Sisters" is the second so popular work after last year's "Speed Scandal" and won the Best Director Award in one fell swoop at the Dazhong Awards. It also won the Best Editing Award.
Chapter completed!
