Chapter 590: The Prototype of the Film Industry III
"I announced to the news media in the first half of the year that I would temporarily withdraw from the competition for Best Director at the Academy Awards, in fact, from that moment on, I made up my mind not to compete for awards in this environment. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The Oscars are always accompanied by political factors, the Oscars are dying, a group of prejudiced jury members, will not bring much improvement, I dare to assert that the future of the Oscars will belong to the film market, not the quality of the film, this style will weaken the gold content of the Oscars." Wu Chen shook his head disappreciatively.
The two international directors agree with Wu Chen's statement that the power of whether films, actors and directors can win the Academy Awards is in the hands of the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but these life members are older, their ideas and visions are limited, and they are becoming more and more out of touch with society.
The Oscars belong to the kind of awards that are played by themselves behind closed doors, and it is difficult for foreign films to enter the mainstream, and they are more affected by politics, and members tend to vote in favor of those films that are not controversial, relatively safe and must be mainstream, and those films with sensitive themes and sharp ideas are basically not favored.
But after all, movies are still a form of artistic expression, ignoring artistry, it will naturally be strongly criticized by filmmakers, if it were not for the irreplaceable status of the Oscars in the United States, and the voting method of the Oscars is relatively fair, I am afraid that this award would have died a long time ago.
It is Hollywood that has created the Oscar, the advanced shooting concept and special effects technology, and the persistent belief of countless filmmakers, creating incomparable box office data, supporting the world's first gold content of the Oscar, but once Hollywood's resources are weakened, the Oscar will become a source of water and a tree without roots.
"Wu Chen, you have advanced strategic thinking and layout skills, not only is you an excellent director, but also a very good businessman. All Hollywood studios are envious of your investment vision and bought the rights to most of the characters in Marvel Comics, which is equivalent to getting a steady stream of money printing factories, which makes people have to admire. ”
"You must have seen through the essence of the Academy Awards a long time ago, from being strong for a while to gradually declining, you must have your own arrangements, let's listen to it, see if I can help you, no matter what, I am still proud to be your teacher." Cameron said with a smile.
This famous international director is extremely satisfied with Wu Chen, a student, and the purpose of this guy registering for Atlantis Film Company back then was just to make money, and he never had the idea of becoming a director.
It was Cameron who led Wu Chen on the road of art, teaching him his knowledge and experience, and Wu Chen's performance completely exceeded his expectations, and his fame and status were much higher than his in Hollywood and even the global film industry.
A demon like Wu Chen, honestly accepting the result of being excluded by others, it is absolutely impossible, as for the honor of Best Director at the Academy Awards, it is also dispensable for Wu Chen, although he is happy to get it, he will not be sad if he doesn't get it.
"Atlantis-MGM Pictures will be spun off after the Chinese New Year, the parent company will move to the film and television base in the Golden Triangle, and MGM Pictures will continue to operate in Hollywood. Hollywood is not built in a day, the film and television base of the Golden Triangle also needs time to precipitate, I need Hollywood to send the world's most advanced computer special effects technology and a steady stream of talents to the Golden Triangle, the Academy Awards will be a transition, MGM Pictures' films will participate in the competition for awards in a short time. ”
"The infrastructure of the Golden Triangle Federal Film Academy has been nearly completed, and a professional teaching team will be formally formed from July next year, and I hope that you two can serve as visiting professors at the academy, and the combination of theory and practice can cultivate more outstanding filmmakers." Wu Chen said with a smile.
"I understand everything else, but when you say that the Academy Awards are a transition, I don't understand it, what does that mean, is it possible that you also want to start a film festival?" Jackson said tentatively.
"I am going to use the Oscar model as a platform to set up a world-class film award, called the Atlantis Film Awards, and for this purpose, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, I have specially built the Atlantis Grand Theater, a palace style where the legendary god of the sea lives, which can accommodate more than 6,000 people, and can be officially opened in a maximum of four years."
"I welcome the two teachers and more Hollywood filmmakers to join me in creating this award and creating a free film festival without external interference, for some special reasons, I can't personally preside over this work, I invite the two teachers to be the chairmen of the selection committee." Wu Chen smiled and said.
Wu Chen's goal in entering the film industry is not only to make money, but to use this platform to develop the cultural industry of the Golden Triangle Federation. A country's influence on the world, culture is more powerful than the military, and the movie itself is a microcosm of culture.
After five years of painstaking management, Wu Chen began to take the first step, which was to establish the Atlantis Film Awards. He firmly believes that with his status and fame in the international film industry, this international film festival in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands will become the fifth largest film award in the world, second only to the Academy Awards, and definitely surpass the three major European film festivals!
Why? Although the Oscar is only an award in the United States, the three major European film festivals pay more attention to artistry, but Hollywood actors will not focus on European film festivals, because the gold content is too low, which refers to economic interests!
Although the Atlantis Film Awards cannot be compared with the Oscars for the time being, with the support of a group of Hollywood international directors and hosted by Wu Chen, the level is highlighted, and the judges are definitely the elite of the film industry, and they will not mix other factors, when it comes to fairness and justice, it is much stronger than the Oscars.
"It's a very much pleasing idea, and if I can create an international film festival and contribute to the film industry, it's also a dream thing for a filmmaker. Besides, I'm sure you're going to do it perfectly, and if you show me the plan as soon as possible, I can give some personal advice to the Atlantis Film Awards. Cameron immediately agreed.
"The Oscars have a lot of advantages in their own right, and I think that changing these advantages from localization to internationalization is very beneficial to the development of the film industry, and in a place like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, it is equivalent to being protected by the Golden Triangle Federation, free from politics and prejudice, and I would like to join the festival." Jackson said with a smile.
