At the end of January, once the 82nd Oscar nomination list was announced, "Midnight in Paris" threw away Best Director, Best Actor and Actor, Best Actor and Best Actor. Except for supporting actors and actresses, I basically got all the nominations I could get.
【"The Hurt Locker", "Midnight in Paris" and "Avatar" compete for Oscars! 】
【Compete head-on with "Avatar" for Best Photography and Best Art Direction! 】
["Midnight in Paris" and "Young Victoria" compete for best design! Different Interpretations of Classical Beauty]
[Internal or external fighting? Cameron and Catherine's Choice]
"There is no story more beautiful than "Midnight in Paris". Likewise, everyone should pay attention to the director Damien. Although he did not receive a nomination for best director, But he got the best photography, which is a kind of recognition. Everyone who watches "Midnight in Paris" should lament how he used natural light when shooting interiors and exteriors."
" Although "Avatar" vividly shows the gorgeous scenes on Pandora, every frame of "Midnight in Paris" is full of art. I like every shot switch in it, the delicate techniques and the details of the lens expression. The feeling of coming here made me sink"
"Although "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" are both good movies, compared to "Midnight in Paris", they are like a hodgepodge"
"Filming real scenes is far more difficult than special effects. "Midnight in Paris" is a work that truly refreshes the audience."
"If the lines of "Midnight in Paris" are in French, then it must have no rivals."
"Young people, please go to the cinema and watch "Midnight in Paris" again, to experience the mellow confrontation between time travel and literary dream pursuit."
"If we say that movies are As a novel, the storyline presented in "Midnight in Paris" through metaphor, fantasy, metaphor, exaggeration and symbolism will give readers more unique thoughts and insights."
"Avatar. "It shows us a science fiction story that takes place on a beautiful and unknown planet. It also conveys respect for nature through the battle between two races. It is a very profound movie and should not be buried in the Oscars because of special effects."
"The hidden details of "Avatar" start from the narration of the male protagonist of the movie. While discussing environmental protection, nature, and balance, it also reveals the contradiction and dislocation between high technology and bad life"
" The profound impact "The Hurt Locker" has had on movie fans should not be underestimated just because it failed at the box office, just like "Avatar" was nothing but box office."
"."
Also in South Africa Xiangyang, after seeing the media discussion triggered after the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, once thought that Anna Wintour and Warner were responsible for all the media in North America in order to win the award.
It wasn’t until he gradually discovered that many of these reports were reprinted from Europe that he finally woke up.
Although "Midnight in Paris" performed well at the box office in North America, it is an indisputable fact that it was more popular in Europe.
Maybe
Maybe it's because Hollywood movies have too strong an impact on local movies in European countries. "Avatar" swept the box office like wheat, so Europeans are anxious this time?
Xiang Yang, who didn’t know much about the details, could only give this answer.
After all, Paris is European.
Yes, no wonder the British are all siding with the French this time, Anna Wintour and Bill Nighy are British.
"Oh no, no! I got the nomination!"
Seeing that his name was spelled Hsiang Yang in the nomination for Best Costume Design, Xiang Yang almost didn't recognize it.
Witoma Pinyin.
“Damn.”
After cursing, Xiang Yang called directly and asked Hermès' lawyers to contact the Oscar organizer, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, to write the pinyin of his name correctly.
Also, apologize to yourself.
If you attend an event with Liu Qianqian and the other party misspells Liu Qianqian’s name on the invitation letter you get, forget it. After all, the invitation letter will not be made public. Just change it and send it over.
Everyone has oversights. Just resolve them privately as long as there is no impact.
But what is an Oscar?
The focus of global attention.
What does it mean if your name is spelled in the pinyin of Weituma now?
Due to historical reasons, the pinyin of Vetomar is still closely related to some historical celebrities, place names, and old brands, so this situation cannot be changed. Xiangyang can agree with this.
After all, this spelling has been passed down for hundreds of years, so there is no need to be too critical.
But when your name appears internationally, the writing format should follow the official one.
What's official?
Is the "Chinese Pinyin Plan" promulgated by the First Chinese Congress in 1958 official enough?
In 1981, the United Nations announced that it would abolish the Western Pinyin and use the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan". Is this official enough?
Waitoma Pinyin has its place where it can exert its residual heat, but it is definitely not in its own name.
Just like in the region search of H.Y.S and Hermès websites, places like Bay Bay and Hong Kong Island are placed together with whoever they should be.
Xiangyang couldn't control others, but he had never been vague about caring for himself.
"If you don't change, you won't go. I don't care about the Oscar statuette."
Just think that Chinese domestic movie fans are happy because Xiang Yang's name is among the nominations for "Midnight in Paris" When he was excited, he didn't care at all.
Oscar is not his main battlefield.
Participating in film production is simply because my wife Liu Qianqian is an actress, and I also want to show Chinese elements through the film.
Not letting the other party apologize in the newspaper is already saving face for Oscar.
He is a designer, so he is not used to Oscar.
Besides, he is in control of this matter.
Can’t you see the big Xiang Yang written in the American issue of Vogue?
Can’t you see the big Xiang Yang written in Le Monde?
Even when he comes to Africa, the local national newspapers will write the words "Xiang Yang". Who do you think Oscar is?
Of course, Xiang Yang did not tell Liu Qianqian about this matter, who was still in China and was very happy for him to get the nomination.
My wife is pregnant, so there is no need to worry about such things.
What's more, Liu Qianqian is very happy at the moment.
The nominee for Best Original Screenplay is the writing team of "Midnight in Paris", of which she is also a member.
This matter, which was ignored by most movie fans after its release, finally started to pay attention after the Oscar nomination was confirmed.
This incident caused little discussion overseas, but it caused a sensation at home.
Mainly, when everyone checked the information and found Liu Qianqian’s name in the "Midnight in Paris" team, they all felt that this was incredible.
Can she still be a screenwriter? !
Not only her, but her husband Xiang Yang is also one of the screenwriters? !
Let’s break down the writing team of “Midnight in Paris”. Is there any moisture in it?
It seems that the main members of the film team are there, including the producer (Bill), director (Damien), art director (Anna), costume director (Xiang Yang), Liu Qianqian and JCE
Such a strange long list, even the Oscar organizers shook their heads after seeing it. But the key is that this is still registered with the Writers Guild of America.
Fortunately, there is only one statuette, otherwise if they were given one each, uninformed people would think that "Midnight in Paris" swept the Oscars when they saw their group photo.
So.
Chinese filmmakers are competing for Oscars again? !
Chinese filmmakers are included in the two important awards! ! !
Yes, at this moment, Xiang Yang was also inexplicably classified as a ‘Chinese filmmaker’.
Before "Midnight in Paris", whether it was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Heroes", more and more mainland movie fans knew about the Oscars, paid attention to the Oscars, and increasingly looked forward to the success of Chinese filmmakers every year. Win some Oscars.
But after so many years, this may be the closest a Chinese filmmaker has come to an Oscar.
For a time, in public opinion on the Internet, no one paid attention to the fight between Brother Xun and Li Bingbing, and no one cared about the "fraudulent donation scandal" of the International Chapter.
Everyone is discussing whether "Midnight in Paris" could possibly beat "Avatar" at the Oscars.
On major film forums, post bars, QQ groups, bibs and other social networking platforms, many people have given their own predictions, some are optimistic and some are bearish.
Because the box office of "Avatar" is so explosive.
"Avatar", which 'opened a new era in film history', crossed the threshold of US$1 billion without batting an eyelid, and directly hit the box office mark of US$2 billion
In China, it It also swept all box office records.
Not many people in China have watched "Midnight in Paris". China Film has not arranged to release it since it introduced it. Fans who can really taste this movie are far away from "Avatar" I don’t know how far behind.
"So? Can I win the prize?"
While Chinese netizens were still arguing excitedly, Xiangyang also received a reply from Little John.
When the Hermès legal department received the call from Xiang Yang, it immediately noticed the seriousness of the problem.
Xiang is not a temperless person.
People in the legal department have long known that this guy is not as good-tempered as others think.
As long as he raises a question, he is telling you that this matter has touched my bottom line, and you can take care of the rest.
So, when they reported the matter immediately, they contacted Little John.
Little John, who was still excited that "Midnight in Paris" had received so many Oscar nominations, quickly dug out the newspaper when he heard about it.
Sure enough, it is the pinyin of Weituma.
Maybe Xiang Yang really won’t go.
"Just wait for my news. It's not appropriate for you to come forward in this kind of matter." Little John, who knew his friend's temper, didn't make any excuses. He could handle this kind of thing most easily.
In other words, it is most appropriate for him to stand up for this matter.
First, he is white.
Second, he knows how to handle white people.
As for why he stood up for Xiangyang?
The emotional factor is only part of it. More importantly, this expression is a need and a consensus reached by people in the circle.
The consensus is that although this kind of thing happens from time to time in our circle, we have been criticizing it.
You see, whenever we are suspected of 'RD', the product will be 'removed' from the shelves quickly.
If the matter gets bigger, we will come out to apologize
But before hanging up the phone, he still said sincerely:
“Xiang, give Anna and the others a call. Just call me, don’t worry about me, I will do my best to support you.”
“Thank you, don’t worry.”
After leaving the matter to Little John, Xiangyang immediately communicated with Anna, Axel, Pierre and others.
He never dreamed that these people were just like Little John in the United States and had a much tougher attitude than him.
The purpose of showing one's "truth, goodness and beauty" is the same as the people and brands in the fashion circle actively investing in charity.
In the end, it is all about gaining the right to speak in public opinion while building a good brand and self-image.
What is an Oscar?
The focus of global attention.
A place where many luxury brands pay entertainment stars to wear their own branded clothing and jewelry.
And now you’re ‘discriminating’ against our designers?
We need to use you to create a topic, why not use you to create a topic.
That night, when being interviewed for the Oscar nomination, Little John, who was approved, directly faced the reporter, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, was bombarded.
"I'm worried about Oscar. XiangYang has always been a very good person.
Whether it is work or life, he is a respectable person.
I find it hard to believe , when XiangYang was devoting his love to the land of Africa, he was treated like this by Oscar.
I think this is a shameful act. If Oscar does not come out to apologize, I feel that as the first African American in the United States. President, Obama should lead by example
Oh my god, this is something that is unimaginable in our fashion industry. I really can’t believe that the Oscars, which has a history of nearly 90 years, still has such a problem.
This reminds me of the history of blood and tears of non-white actors at the Oscars."
Just when the Oscar organizers received the letter from Hermès’ lawyers, Hermès’ official website also published an announcement.
Announcement There are two contents in it.
One is to congratulate "Midnight in Paris" for winning multiple Oscar nominations
The other is a statement from Pierre:
"Hermès has long been against all forms of bigotry, hatred and inequality. We hope to promote society through our products and participate in more artistic works, inspire people to take action on deep-seated social issues, and Encourage people to shape a better future together.”
Following this, H.Y.S also issued a statement on its official website, accusing the Oscar organizers of discriminating against all creative directors.
Then
That night, Sarkozy, who had experienced two improvements in the polls, came to join in the fun after smelling the smell.
“Although Xiang is a Chinese, he is also a member of our French society.
Like many of our African-American compatriots, we can create our own value in a free, equal, and just society.
"Midnight in Paris" has made outstanding contributions to the tourism industry in Paris. As the President of France, I was shocked by the "controversial treatment" received by the Oscar organizers when Xiang Yang was accompanying the Ministry of Sports on a trip to assist African athletes. ."
"."
"."
Asian identity is nothing in the United States.
But when reports associate this Asian with the African continent, in the United States, as long as you have a little bit of black in your body, you can't sit back and be idle.
"Oscar! Give us black people an explanation!"
