At the moment, in "The Matrix", Neo is definitely the protagonist, but in terms of the role and importance, Agent Smith might as well have a starring role as the male villain.
Doesn’t this make it clear that it is certain that this film will be nominated
The film "The Martian", which should be regarded as the film from the year before last, only participated in the selection of the Golden Horse Award and Hundred Flowers Award because it did not meet the conditions of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The Hong Kong Film Awards are held in early April every year, while the Golden Rooster Awards or Hundred Flowers Awards are held in October, and the Golden Horse Awards are held in late November or early December.
In such a short time, he won the Oscar for Best Actor that year!
As long as the performance is exciting enough, whether you are the main actor or the co-star, there is a possibility of winning an award.
Especially for Lin Han, it doesn't matter whether he wins the award or not, but the other three actors are different. If they can win these awards, their status will be greatly improved!
Lin Han and others didn't know the seriousness of the matter. They didn't think that big at all. They only discovered this after being reminded by their agent, but it was already too late.
Outsiders can’t control it, so can’t insiders do anything about it
The first reaction of Xu Jiayan's manager was to give up. He originally wanted to help Xu Jiayan be the host of the Academy Awards to see if he could win this year's Academy Award for Best Actor!
…
He has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe Awards in the United States. Of course Xu Jiayan's agent also wants to turn him into the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards. This is not impossible!
This can make public relations personnel want to break their heads and have no idea how to deal with it.
But the current "The Matrix" is different. Although the director Lin Han is not a Hong Kong resident, the remaining two conditions are met!
However, two of the next three conditions must be met to be considered a Hong Kong film. The director himself is a Hong Kong resident, the production company must have a company legally registered in Hong Kong, and the film must have at least six staff working on the project who are Hong Kong residents.
They really want to know how the organizing committees of these awards feel when they see so many trophies of the same type suddenly appearing online!
Under such a good form, Xu Jiayan and others made a joke. If the conservative judges knew about it, why not write it down in their notebooks and wait for the accounts to be settled
The rigid condition is that there must be more than five public ticket screenings in Hong Kong, which is nothing for most films!
Generally speaking, in order to win awards, many actors will turn their leading roles into supporting roles.
If it were just netizens collecting and buying and selling on their own, the organizing committee would definitely not be able to control it, nor would they want to.
The same goes for "Silence of the Lambs", where Anthony Hopkins, who plays Professor Hannibal, only has 16 minutes of screen time in the movie.
In fact, this approach of Lin Han and others is indeed somewhat inappropriate. Who let them have fun? They have never thought about this matter at all.
However, it is movie insiders who are driving this trend. This is a clear support for copycats, and I guess not many organizing committees can tolerate it!
If Lin Han's plan is followed and the film is released during the Spring Festival, the box office may be much higher. If it can get an Oscar nomination, the popularity will be even higher.
If he can win the Academy Award for Best Actor, he will become a veritable three-gold Grand Slam. Although he is not the only one, at least he will be far ahead of actors of the same level!
Right now, "The Matrix" has just won a trophy at the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, and the Oscar nominations are about to be announced. The popularity is even higher than that of several upcoming films during the Spring Festival!
The Hong Kong Film Awards are learning to take Oscar as their goal, but they are just learning to draw tiger-like dogs in Handan!
The Hong Kong Film Awards mainly targets Hong Kong films. If mainland films want to participate in the selection, they must meet a lot of conditions.
For example, Kate Winslet was originally positioned as a supporting actress in "The Reader" and won all the major film critics awards and the Golden Globe Award for supporting actress. However, after the awards season, she worked hard and was nominated for an Oscar. Best Actress and successfully won the Best Actress crown!
If you delete your Weibo, you have a guilty conscience; if you don’t delete it, you are arrogant!
It would be even better if you could win the bet!
After all, his acting skills in the movie are simply overwhelming. Not to mention newcomer Chu Guang, even Shen Yanling is no match for him.
Countless people started to follow the official Weibo accounts of the Golden Rooster Awards, Hundred Flowers Awards, Academy Awards, Golden Horse Awards and other awards. Everyone looked like they were watching a show, waiting for the new year's show to begin!
It is precisely with the popularity of Hong Kong film culture around the world that the Academy Awards have become a major indicator of Chinese films.
For example, the classic musical film "Chicago" is a typical two-female movie, but in order to compete for awards, the lead actor Catherine Zeta-Jones placed her leading role in the supporting role and successfully won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!
"The first batch of invited cast members for the Academy Awards have been revealed. All members of "The Matrix" will attend the awards ceremony held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center on April 15!"
This was originally the role that Xu Jiayan had the best chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Actor, but he was not even qualified to participate, so this piece of the puzzle can only be left as a pity.
Even if the influence of these awards is somewhat weakened now, it does not mean that they can be ignored.
The 35-year-old Hong Kong Film Awards are becoming more and more unpopular. Hong Kong films are in the cold winter, with constant negative reviews. They are too exclusive, small-circle entertainment, the award ceremony is boring, the audience falls asleep, and the artistic and commercial aspects are not strong.
Wherever there are Chinese people, there are Hong Kong films. This sentence is the biggest support for the Academy Awards.
It's only the end of January, and the nomination list for the Hong Kong Film Awards has not yet been announced. Now it is extremely anxious to announce that "The Matrix" will attend the awards ceremony!
However, before they could take action, the Academy Awards jumped out on their own, catching people off guard!
But now, both its influence, gold content and attention are far less than before, and it is likely to be left behind by the other two awards!
The popularity of the Academy Awards is declining every year, and it seems to be getting more and more deserted every year. If this continues, the Academy Awards, which were once popular in Asia, will be crushed by the wheels of history!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Lin Han and others are joking, but at the same time, there are also some people with ill intentions waiting to see the jokes in "The Matrix".
Right now, they just want to use the most popular movies to increase their audience and make themselves stand out before the Oscar nominations are announced.
It is normal for the protagonist to turn into a supporting role to win awards, but it is not so easy for a supporting role to turn into a leading role, but there are still some who succeed.
It's simply a dilemma.
After all, Xu Jiayan, as a mainlander, does not have many opportunities to participate in the selection of the Academy Awards. Most of the time, he participates in the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Horse Award. Now he has won a Golden Rooster Award and a Golden Horse Award.
As for the Golden Horse Awards, they are much more open-minded. All Chinese-language films can participate, unlike the Academy Awards which are limited to Hong Kong films!
