At this year's Academy Awards ceremony, the biggest hot topic is not the contest between "the king's speech" and "social network", but the rise of generation y.
This is not only the duel between the two films, but also the alternation of changes in the entire film industry. The impact on the industry is in all aspects. Everyone is curious, looking forward to and paying attention to it.
Now the answer is finally revealed, Natalie Portman, the first little gold winner of generation Y, ascended to the top and completed the coronation.
At present, in Hollywood, generation X is the main pillar, but its momentum is far less than that of the baby boomers, and its achievements in business and art are incomparable. The film market can still be said to be in full bloom, but it can also be said to be in a scuffle. There has never been Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney Sean pan is such a star with strong charisma. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck still have a long way to go.
Now, generation Y is catching up again. It has not only made a breakthrough in box office, but also successfully stepped on the stage of Oscar, with the momentum of grabbing class and power.
This is a good thing for the film industry.
The alternation between the old and the new is always full of pains and struggles, but it has to start in the end. Of course, people have regretted the defeat of Annette bening, but comparatively speaking, Natalie's victory also represents the rise of the new generation. This landmark milestone has a greater influence on the whole industry.
The rise of the younger generation is the main theme throughout this year's award season. When the Academy Awards announced the nomination list, the overall weakness of generation Y attracted countless media fire. The overall momentum of public opinion accused the College of being conservative, old-fashioned, stubborn and pedantic, and refused to accept the new generation, which means that the era will not continue to move forward.
Now, with Natalie's ascent to the top, all doubts, complaints and accusations have disappeared one after another. In an instant, praise swarmed in. Even the negative news cloud over Natalie's head has gradually dissipated. In a trance, people seem to suffer from amnesia——
Above this year's Oscars, on the one hand, the Conservatives represented by the "King's speech" won the final victory, on the other hand, the new generation represented by Natalie seized the space. The college has found a balance between conservatism and innovation. Although it is only a small breakthrough, even if it is just a breakthrough of the best actress, it is enough to give people hope.
With the efforts of the major media, Natalie's victory has become a driving force to push the wheel of history forward. Comparatively speaking, the little negative influence of "double door" is insignificant.
In addition to "the king's speech" and Natalie, there were numerous focuses at the award ceremony that night:
The disaster hosts of James Franco and Anne Hathaway received a lot of laughter and ridicule, even more "hot" than Ricky Reeves of the Golden Globe Award; When Melissa Leo said her acceptance speech for winning the prize, she uttered rude words, which caused the crisis of live broadcast; On the red carpet, Kate Blanchett's amazing performance, Javier Baden and Penelope Cruz officially announced their love affair
There is no doubt that the Oscar is the top annual event in the film industry, and no one can compare it with it. After the award ceremony, the reports of major media are full of colorful, colorful and lively, not to mention the Oscar night with many topics after it. Such noise will last for at least three days, and it will not settle down in a short time.
In this uproar, everyone seems to have forgotten the absence of Lan Li. It's no surprise. To be more precise, it was entirely expected.
Even if Woody Allen's absence every year, the major media will not report in a big book, let alone a nobody like Langley. Although it was said that before the award ceremony, lanli announced his absence at the last moment, which caused a heated discussion, after the award ceremony, lanli was forgotten in this way - on top of the star studded Oscar, even if he attended, he might be ignored, let alone absent?
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Langley stepped on James Franco's shoulder at the last minute and won the first nomination; Also forget that "buried alive" this independent work in the difficult award season out of the siege; What's more, he forgot that lanli devoted himself to the shooting of his new works so much that he suffered from physical and mental problems, and even suffered from the slander and slander of the media.
Just one day ago, people were still criticizing the media, people were still marveling at Lan Li, people were still holding their wrists in the absence, but now, Lan Li has become a thing of the past.
Gradually, the Oscars are over, the excitement is over, Hollywood is calm again, and the "anti cancer me" crew is calm again. The reporters who surround the gate of the set can no longer be seen. The empty streets are even more deserted than the Sahara desert. It is as if the three successive works of the "Pacific War", "buried alive" and "love crazy" have been brought to the forefront, like foam, and no trace has been left.
This is Hollywood, this is vanity fair, this is real society. The tide rises and falls, but in the blink of an eye.
But on the other hand, Andy Rogers' intention has been achieved.
Since the premiere of the "Pacific War", it has been less than a year since Langley appeared in front of the public. It is hard to imagine the rapid rise of Langley, especially the strong performance of "buried alive" and "crazy love", first the Emmy Award, then the Golden Globe Award, and then the Oscar. Langley's rising momentum is almost unstoppable.
But at the same time, the future trouble of unstable foundation is also accompanied. Lanli is like a living target. Jealousy, contempt, disdain, resentment, exclusion, doubt and other negative emotions are everywhere. They encircle and suppress lanli, just like a poisonous snake, quietly waiting for the opportunity to attack. The most direct manifestation is the hype surrounding the "anti-cancer me" crew.
If you change an actor, or change a situation, or change a crew, the so-called "hype" is nothing at all, let alone media attention, netizens' Crusade, or even waves. This is Hollywood full of hype. There is only a thin line between publicity and hype. But in fact, what lanli was facing was the torrential waves, which were almost irresistible.
In the face of such a situation, Andy has been thinking about solutions.
Andy can choose to fight back head-on, and fight back with more excellent works, just like Tom Cruise.
The birth of "top gun" made Tom a hit and a hit, but he was also questioned. "Rain Man" and "born on July 4" made him a breakthrough in the Oscar. After that, he stood on the top of the storm. The pursuit of fans and the difficulties of film critics flew together, and the interpretation of "people's popularity" was incisively and vividly.
Later, Tom started from "Yihai Xiongfeng" in 1992 to "Mr. sweetheart" in 1996. The box office of five consecutive works in North America exceeded 100 million dollars. In the 1990s, 100 million dollars was synonymous with the top box office, thus opening a real peak period. All negative doubts were closed, and the promotion from a first-line star to a top star was completed.
But this method is not necessarily suitable for Langley. For one thing, Langley is still a newcomer. Even though "speed and passion 5" has won a big box office victory, the credit is due to van diesel and Paul Walker. It's not Langley's turn to take the lead. It's very difficult to open up the situation with commercial films.
Secondly, there is too much risk. Every work must succeed in the future, whether it is a work of art or a commercial film. This kind of pressure is gradually accumulated. Before quantitative change causes qualitative change, the crisis of winning and the dilemma of crowding out will rise one after another. Tom Cruise used five works to break the shackles and complete the transformation, But everyone's situation is different. Lanli may need more, maybe less, but before the change, he made a mistake and lost everything.
Third, lanli is an actor, should also be just an actor, this is Andy's positioning of lanli.
Maybe, in the future, Langley can become the top star of first-hand box office awards, just like Tom Hanks, but at least not now. At present, lanli's foundation is not stable, let alone extravagant expectations of the box office. From the perspective of performance, the three works of "Pacific War", "buried alive" and "crazy love" are not enough. Lanli needs more excellent answers to prove himself and withstand the upgrading test of film critics.
Andy is ambitious, but not greedy. Therefore, he chose to follow the trend and retreat bravely.
First, he focused on the shooting of "cancer fighting me", then he missed the Oscar, and then he gave up "Dragon Tattoo Girl" and chose to play "detached". He gave up the plan to pursue success, gave up the attention of the limelight, and gave up the situation of momentum. He was down-to-earth and focused on his own major, focusing on acting skills, roles, and works. This kind of retreat finally relieved the crisis temporarily.
After the closing of the Oscars, although it is said that Langley has not been able to win more attention, in the reports of major media, Langley is almost invisible and completely ignored, and the focus aura that shrouds him seems to disappear quietly overnight; But at the same time, there were also negative news, especially Oscar's return empty handed, which made all the attacks come to an end, and even the discussion and doubt about lenley on the Internet were temporarily calmed down.
This also means that Langley can finally enjoy a quiet time.
Before "speed and passion 5" was officially released, Langley could leave the focus of flash and devote himself to the shooting of "cancer fighting me" and "detachment", just like shooting "buried alive" and "crazy love". For lanli, it's a good thing; For Andy, it's a blessing.
Actor, focusing on performance, that's what Andy wants people to think of lenley. According to the special report of the Seattle Post, Andy's strategy succeeded.
