Mark's four opponents are blood coming directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, diving bell and butterfly directed by Julian Schobel, Michael Clayton directed by Tony Gilroy and Juno directed by Jason Letterman.

First, Jason Letterman of Juno is out. As a work of the same group, who dares to hold him against mark in the group? This means a reduction in public relations resources.

Jason Letterman is undoubtedly an excellent director. Different from his father Ivan letterman's good style of action comedy, his favorite film language is more three-dimensional and modern. He has a sharp perspective of analyzing reality, smart and funny ridicule, and the low-key and ordinary character itself makes people laugh when compared with the sharp language and super fast speed, One side is thought-provoking.

Jason letterman's films focus on the current practical problems of American society, choose relatively marginal occupations or themes, shape characters through complex and significant values conflict or psychological crisis, and show the integration of non mainstream values and mainstream life ideas. The characters in his films can be divided into "physiological teenagers" and "psychological teenagers". They are facing life crisis or severe values contradiction. These films analyze and explore the problems of American society through their experience and choice. In order to express these serious themes easily, his film language has outstanding characteristics in the use of close-up lens, triangular composition, music and fast editing.

However, compared with no country for old people, it is still not hot enough. This young talent born in 1977, like mark, is too young (31 years old). If he wins the prize, he will break the historical record. He has the support of MM group and has no future. A nomination is the greatest praise.

Julian Schobel's Diving Bell and butterfly was run over by mark three times at the Venice International Film Festival, the British Film Academy and the Golden Globe Award. In this way, it can win, which is more legendary than the film.

Tony Gilroy was born in a screenwriter's family. His father and two brothers are screenwriters. He is also a film screenwriter and started his career. His most famous work is the spy film series starring Matt chamon, which makes him famous all over the world. Michael Clayton, directed by him, has little reputation in the early stage. Compared with Mark's no country for old men, he is nothing, It's not as good in all aspects, but since it's nominated, it's possible to win a prize, which poses a certain threat to mark.

However, the biggest threat is Paul Thomas Anderson from "blood is coming". He has only five works, which makes him a hot figure in the independent film industry in the United States. He won the Golden Bear Award in Berlin and the best director award in Cannes. In November 1999, Thomas Anderson's new film "Magnolia" met the audience, The audience compared the film starring Julian Moore with successful films such as fight club, American beauty, becoming John Malkovich and the matrix, and even rated it as "the best film in 1999" and "the most promising film to win an Oscar".

Compared with mark, he has sufficient qualifications and persuasive works. After the release of blood coming, it caused a great sensation. It was also set in Texas. It is difficult not to think of no country for old people.

The same black, violence and depression, one is full of dangers, describing the dark corner of the people's heart, and the other is like an epic, describing the dual cruelty of economic development and social change. With the same compactness, climax and tension, a large number of metaphors have opened a new chapter in the film narrative form through novel narrative structure and anti dramatic climax; The other gives full play to the expertise of characterization and gives full play to the potential of relatively simple and straightforward content. It is also a visual feast, like drinking sweet rain, but one is red wine, which has a rich entrance and a long aftertaste; The other is liquor, which is spicy, rich and full of vitality.

After his release, the critics praised him like a tide. They are all compared with no country for old people and are rare masterpieces.

Blood is coming is a work jointly produced by Paramount advantage and Miramax. The leading actor invited British national treasure actor Daniel Day Lewis. He described the oil tycoon as one of the most disgusting roles on the film screen. Greed and betrayal go hand in hand, making blood is coming a work that really shocked your conscience, In this film, Lewis shows the charm of acting masters, improves the quality of the film with his personal strength, and gives people a sense of amazing talent.

In this year's desolate award season, Lewis swept all the way and crushed all his opponents. Just as best supporting actor Javier swept all his supporting actors, it is recognized as one of the links without suspense. At the Oscar nominees luncheon, George Clooney, who is also a competitor, first admitted defeat, which shows his strength.

However, this is the acting department. In the fight for awards such as best film and best director, everyone is equally divided and has their own advantages. I believe the other party is also very afraid of mark and regards him as the first opponent.

In Hollywood, there are some dirty and despicable means to deal with competitors. Even if the police check, they can't find any useful evidence. There are some ways to kill without bloodshed. It may take years to build a reputation, but it only takes a week or a few days to destroy it.

However, even if paramount and Disney join hands, they dare not use this means against mark. At Mark's command, a media group will jump out to fight and debate for him. Perhaps without order, mm will automatically and consciously protect mark. If it is black mark, the interest group behind him will jump out to protect him.

Therefore, in terms of publicity and public relations, Paramount's people are careful to ensure that they will not accidentally offend mark and mm group. The operation of blood is coming is a business. If it is successful, it will bring them tens of millions of income, but it is not worth fighting with a large group.

Mm is the most profitable company in Hollywood for two consecutive years and has developed into a media group by itself. It has grown into a lion through a young lion and is not afraid of any challenges. Mark's means of dealing with more than 70 newspapers for the daughter of his friends is so bloody and violent that his opponents are not cold and afraid. No normal person will get into such a person.

By the way, mark has won the reputation of the most reliable friend. Beimi has a popular saying that he should find mark to make friends.

Therefore, paramount has conducted special training for their public relations publicity personnel to ensure that they will not say or do anything wrong. When promoting a film, it is normal to praise themselves and blackmail each other, but it does not apply here. Who knows if a few words will lead to a collision between the two groups.

All Hollywood knows Mark's desire for the best director of the Oscar. He came for honor, not for money. His playful twilight, which made film critics desperate and bloody, sold 500 million worldwide, while the elaborate no country for old people was only more than 50 million, no more and no less.

"No country for the elderly" is a typical art film category. It depends on beer. In the first week, it was only released on a large scale of more than 10 million, which makes people think that it is a foregone conclusion. Who knows, he was as strong as Viagra. He persisted for about 10 million for three weeks, and then dropped to the weekly box office of 7 million left and right. He always maintained the state of release, which maintained the heat during this award season.

Oscar is the embodiment of democracy. Awards are voted by a group of people (College members). There is no quantitative standard.

But for ordinary insiders, we evaluate the quality of directors, that is, three points. Generally, these three criteria can also be applied to most film awards.

1、 Imagination. (own talent); 2、 Execution. (talent is valuable, but the more important thing is to be able to become a reality: that is, to overcome various difficulties and complete the work.)

3、 Contribution. (play a leading role and can be admired or emulated by peers or future generations.)

Mark has all the above three points, but the Weinstein brothers have long proved that the nomination depends on strength, the award depends on luck, or accurate public relations.

The college has more than 6000 members, composed of elites from all walks of life in the industry. Generally speaking, after being nominated, they are one of the college members. In this huge team of College members, they all have the right to vote.

Among these people, some people regard the votes in their hands as the root of life. They will repeatedly watch each film and study each nominee's information, career experience, interest position and political relations. They are as serious as choosing a wife. They are the most strict members and have their own opinions and demands. It is not easy to impress them. These people have little role in public relations.

The most important traditional awards, best film, best director, four actor awards, two screenwriter awards, etc. the qualification is easy and does not cost money. The eligibility requirements for selected films in the above categories only need to be shown for one week at the commercial cinema (the one with tickets) in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is very large and larger than Los Angeles City, so there are many cinemas. If they show in these cinemas for a week, they are qualified. There is no need for anything else. They just need to send relevant documents to the college and tell the college who the producer is, who the director is, who the screenwriter is, etc.

At the end of the year, the college issued a prompt list to tell members the list of all qualified films in that year. It does not mean that they have seen all the films. No one will pretend that they have seen all the films. Because there are too many, college members do not know how to choose. In this way, the role of accurate public relations comes out.

When competing for nominations, formal public relations activities have begun. If successful, public relations will be expanded, and if failed, there will be no singing.
