Standing at a particular time node and looking back at what happened in the past period of time, there will always be some special gains.

Half of the first quarter of 1996 has passed. If you look back at the bits and pieces that happened in the past six months and connect the major Hollywood news during this period of time, you can build a magnificent picture in your mind. Then, it is not difficult to find that in the past six months, all the trends in Hollywood seem to be derived from an event in August, a seemingly ordinary event that seems to be staged in Hollywood every day: Eight Month of resistance.

This is a revolution set off by young volcanoes. For the first time in history, the authoritative image and status of the Uncrowned King has been severely challenged, and the development of the news industry has undergone an earth-shaking turn. Not only for Hollywood, it has had an incalculable impact on the entire society. Since then, the "seven deadly sins" and "apologies ( have pushed this topic to its peak.

The source of this vigorous resistance in August was the "Death Row", which originated from the serious situation that Hugo experienced during the filming process, and then lost control so that it was out of control.

Therefore, when "Death Row" was released, all audiences in North America used practical actions to interpret what is called "Most Eyed". Almost everyone was curious about Hugo's performance in "Death Row". Sure enough, both the audience and the film critics gave the highest attention to Hugo’s performance, and Hugo’s performance in this work was strongly praised by everyone, which also pushed Hugo’s momentum towards An unprecedented culmination.

Against this background, the Golden Globe Awards kicked off. The four nominations for best actor in a drama, best actor in a musical comedy, best supporting actor, and best screenwriter are clearly shown to people. Today, Hugo's unbeatable momentum also reflects the recognition of Hugo by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But the ending was beyond everyone's expectations, and "Death Row" was directly submerged in the impact of countless works, which caused almost everyone in an uproar, and it also attracted the media's rhetoric.

A month has passed. Although the story of the Golden Globes and Hugo is still the focus of the topic, it has gradually cooled down. If this continues, when the Oscars come at the end of March, the negative impact will be almost negligible. But the reality is so cruel and so interesting. At this juncture, the 46th Berlin Film Festival is here.

This Berlin Film Festival has almost attracted the attention of the world. Under the combined effect of many factors, the ownership of the Golden Bear Award has received unprecedented attention. In the end, the curtain fell, and "Sense and Emotion" won the Golden Bear. Award, this is also the fourth important title won by this work after the Golden Globe Award, the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award, and the National Critics Association Award.

Judging from the current trends of major awards ceremonies, it is clear that "Baby Pig" and "Sense and Emotion" are in the leading position in the battle for the best film, and this is precisely the Golden Globe Award for drama and musical comedy. The winner of the best film is undoubtedly an important affirmation of the authority of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

But the problem is not "reason and emotion", it has never been "reason and emotion".

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave Hugo four nominations. What does this show? Explains their recognition of the power of the rain; then the Golden Globe Awards awarded the best film to "Baby Pig" and "Sense and Emotion" respectively, which is consistent with the trend of other important award ceremonies. What does this show? It shows that they are not dizzy, and they still have the same aesthetic standards as everyone else.

So, under such circumstances, the Golden Globes ignored Hugo's brilliant performance in "Death Row", but instead rewarded "Before Sunrise". What does this mean? The cake is divided, but the piece decorated with strawberries does not belong to Hugo. The Hollywood Reporter Association just gave Hugo a piece of cake without cream to stop the crowd.

Of course, everyone knows that the aesthetics of the major award ceremonies are inherently different. "Death Row" is not a big killer at other award ceremonies. Nicholas Cage's performance in "Far from Casino" is also worthwhile. definitely. If that's just the case, then people are just talking and talking, and they won't be able to make the Ballon d'Or hurt their nerves and bones—just like in the past month.

Now, the Berlin Film Festival has used a Silver Bear Award for Best Actor to express its commendation to Hugo, especially when the Golden Bear Award belongs to "reason and emotion", which makes the position of the Golden Globe more embarrassing. , The Silver Bear Award was like a resounding slap, it slammed into the face of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the pain and shame went deep into the bones.

People cannot help asking: Nicholas is indeed excellent, but is he really good enough to beat Hugo? Even the performances in "Far from Casino" are not necessarily able to surpass "Death Row", not to mention the previous performance history, Nicholas is far inferior to Hugo. So, how did this game have such a result?

Maybe the personal aesthetic orientation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is so, it is understandable; but maybe... maybe because Nicholas belongs to the international innovative artist company, and Hugo belongs to the endeavour elite brokerage company-the former won a big victory at this year's Golden Globe Awards , The latter did not win the first prize; perhaps because Nicholas was a member of the Coppola family, and Hugo’s father was an old cowboy who fired at reporters; perhaps because Hugo refused to attend the Golden Globes Upset some people...

It was just a "maybe", but countless possibilities were born. This time, there is no need for major media to fan the flames, and the audience began to mutter in their hearts.

This cake-sharing game has really become interesting.

The audience are not professional film critics. They will not seriously discuss whether the acting skills of Hugo and Nicholas are better or worse. They will not analyze whether the performance methods of Hugo and Nicholas are methodist or expressionist like a college professor. , What they care about is their own viewing experience.

After the high expectations brought about by the resistance action in August, the audience set a benchmark in their hearts: how good Hugo actually performed, and actually fell into a dilemma of split personality. And when "Death Convict Walk" was released, Hugo's brilliant performance reached - or even surpassed this benchmark, the stormy waves in the audience's hearts were uncontrollable, even if Hugo swept the awards at major award ceremonies. In their view, it is also taken for granted.

In short, the audience recognized Hugo. Relatively speaking, even if film critics repeatedly emphasized that Nicholas' performance is not inferior to Hugo, the audience's sense of identity cannot reach the same height. After the Golden Globes, the audience has been quite criticized. Now that the Berlin Film Festival is catalyzed again, they are even more scornful of the Golden Globes.

Faced with such a situation, the news media are gloating one by one. Obviously, what they want to see most is such a situation. This time, they don't even need to fan the flames. The inner ruler of the audience has already given the answer.

"Hugo Lancaster Berlin captures the bears bravely!" This is the headline of the "Los Angeles Times". There is no mention of the Golden Globes, no sensationalism, but a simple statement of the facts. In the article, they think Hugo His outstanding performance was unanimously recognized by the jury.

"The unanimous choice of the nine judges: Hugo Lancaster." This is the behind-the-scenes story of the "screening" as the official journal after the Berlin Film Festival ended. In the article, they quoted Nikita, the chairman of the jury, said, “This is the only award that all our judges have reached without discussion and a vote by show of hands. As long as the audience who has watched this movie carefully, close their eyes and savor the movie. With deep and mixed eyes, they will know that we made the most correct choice."

"After Cannes, Berlin reaches the top!" This is the headline of the "New York Times". It did not deliberately mention the importance of this award, but on the matter, emphasizing the brilliance that Hugo has created in the past few years. It is in the content of the report. They are also full of praise for the actor who is under thirty years old.

In fact, this is basically the attitude of the major media. Media such as the "San Francisco Chronicle" with the radical headline "Silver Bear to question the Golden Globe" are still a minority of media but The media’s affirmation of Hugo and the affirmation of "Death Row" is unquestionable. Everyone unanimously stated that Hugo’s award was well-deserved, which happened to give the Hollywood Foreign Press Association a heavy one. hit! This is a double blow to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association after the chaos pointed out by Qian Fu after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

On the surface, the argument this time seemed to be without the noisy and noisy things that Qianfu pointed out a month ago. It can almost be said to be calm and calm, but on the contrary, the discussions and controversies hidden under this calmness. However, it dealt a heavy blow to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The authority of the Golden Globes has been questioned as never before. Some people even began to doubt the fact that the members of the association have *. Compared with media condemnation or economic losses, they have lost the support of the audience. This is the deadliest.

In this competition hidden under the calm sea level, every punch and counterattack is silent, and the side that is hit can only be dumb and eat coptis. The Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company ate coptis once, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also ate coptis once, but now the duel has been quietly escalated. The Golden Globes suffered internal injuries directly, and the **** smell could not be revealed. I have to swallow the plasma abruptly, and then think about what to do next?

At this moment, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association is suddenly in a situation of isolation and helplessness. What should Marjana do? What would Michael do?
