my time as a director

The 424th Academy Awards

In New York, Warner's c TV station, in the studio, Li Qian is participating in an interview with the TV station.

It was all arranged, and Li Qian tried his best to talk about modern media, the entertainment industry, its influence on people's thinking, and freedom.

"Generally speaking, the situation in the movie The Truman Show is almost impossible in reality. After all, no matter in any country, this kind of reality show is illegal. It's just a reality show. An extreme, and an extreme of the entertainment industry."

First of all, I denied the authenticity of this situation. Li Qian didn't say ah, the entertainment industry, and the media are so hateful right away.

Immediately afterwards, the host caught the loophole in Li Qian's words at the right time, "Li, you are saying that it is almost impossible to achieve it now, so do you think there will be a show like The Truman Show in the future?"

"It's not impossible."

Li Qian shook his head, "Truman is pitiful. He has lived in a huge lie for 30 years, but who contributed to the birth of this lie? Is it the TV station? Or the government?

It is all the audience who watch the Truman show. Their existence can bring huge profits to the Truman show. Not only the show itself, but also the products that appear in it will also get a high degree of attention. Other actors appearing in it, there are also Possibly get more jobs.

Driven by huge profits, the entertainment industry is destined to keep moving forward in order to attract the audience's attention, and various programs are getting closer and closer to the bottom line. Finally, one day, extreme situations happen naturally, and it is not What a strange thing. "

Compared to the interviews in China, Li Qian is not so objective. In another country, he will definitely add that the core of the entertainment industry is the audience. Although the wealth created has nothing to do with the audience, it serves the audience.

This is the heart of the entertainment industry, and everything depends on the audience.

If the audience does not watch, there will be no such program, but this is impossible. It is impossible that no one will watch such a voyeuristic program.

It is right to throw the blame on the media and TV stations, the audience is innocent.

"Lee, many of us are concerned about Truman's situation after he leaves the studio. Will he become a superstar?"

The host did not directly ask about the topic of freedom, but started from the movie itself.

Li Qian sighed, "Actually, when the audience is getting freedom for Truman, they have already been controlled by the TV station. The scene of leaving the studio will definitely reach the peak of the ratings of the TV show, and it will also bring more people. Topic, this is what the audience unconsciously and actively did when they were excited.

After 30 years of live broadcasting, Truman has accumulated a high popularity. Of course, he will become a superstar.

Even if there is no TV station, people will still talk about it in the streets and alleys. After so many years of live broadcasting, his awakening is undoubtedly the most important bomb in the Truman Show.The blockbuster naturally became the talk of the public.

When people are discussing him, they are actually adding traffic and commercial value to the show, the TV station, the actors in the show, and the products they have endorsed invisibly.

It seems that Truman has gained freedom, but in fact he is still controlled by the TV station, but this control is invisible, and so are the audience.

This is the saddest point, people can never escape the control of TV and media, sometimes without you knowing, they can subtly change your thinking through various programs and news. "

The host nodded again and again, expressing deep agreement, "However, compared with Truman, people who have long been submerged in the information, entertainment, and culture provided by the media in reality are still immersed in the anesthesia of the media.

Many of the realities we come into contact with may be manufactured, and the "facts" we hear are sometimes designed facts. People seem to be more daring to accept the changed life, and they are subject to the media without complaint and become slaves of media power. "

A host, who is also a media person, criticized the media on the TV station for turning the audience into slaves of the media. It seems a bit ironic.

However, the audience in the audience did not violate the harmony at all. As a program that mainly criticizes the status quo of society, it seems that this is normal.

People start to think that they have been influenced by the media since they read the morning news or newspapers every morning.

I don't know the truth or falsehood of any of the above news, it can only be what the media writes and what I read.

Then I go to work, and most of the information I get online comes from the media. I chat with my colleagues, and my colleagues also get it from the media.

After get off work, it's the evening news again when I get home.

All day long, unless the things around me are obtained through the media, it is a bit scary to think about it. When I am cheated, I don’t know anything.

The entire talk show revolves around the control of the people by the media and the entertainment industry. To put it bluntly, the people have become the slaves of the media.

Don't care if it's right or wrong, just drag it on it.

After recording the show, Li Qian flew back to Los Angeles.

There are too many people who can't participate. After all, he is a foreigner. If he preaches on TV every day, it will probably make Mi Lijian feel disgusted.

One thing and one thing, flying back and forth is also a tiring job.

However, after returning to Los Angeles, Thomas told Li Qian good news.

"As criticism of the media and the entertainment industry has become an important topic today, some judges feel that Truman's World is more worthy of a best foreign language film statuette, and are willing to vote."

"That's really great, the public relations will trouble you." Li Qian laughed.

In fact, the main purpose is not how much box office. Now the box office has reached 9000 million US dollars, and it will soon break through [-] million. It is estimated that it will take two days at most.

The box office has not kept breaking through [-] million in a single day. After all, it has been several days. As a Chinese film, the box office is too restricted.

However, it is still stable to break the North American box office record of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The box office of more than 1 million US dollars is not the main goal, but the Oscars, and the main public relations goal is also the Oscars.

Movies that are highly entertaining must have topics that can cover up this shortcoming. Nowadays, criticizing the media and the entertainment industry is a good starting point.

Even though the Oscar judges are also members of the media, it is more noble to criticize your own industry.elevate yourself.

After all, they are mainly academics, and most of them are filmmakers of the older generation. The biggest characteristic of the elderly is stubbornness.

Unlike the Golden Globes, the Golden Globes are an award selected by less than [-] journalists from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It is essentially a media award or an audience award for those who know more about film and television.

However, at least the current big hit is not only Odili's movie love this one, but The Truman World has also become a big hit for the best foreign language film.

In the next few days, Warner's publicity and public relations did not stop. Following the parades in Los Angeles and New York, there was a small-scale parade in a small city every two days.

Television stations and the media are criticizing the invisible manipulation of the public by the media today, criticizing the guidance of the entertainment industry for the audience, which makes the audience lose the ability to distinguish themselves.

These reporters, newspapers, hosts, and film critics all come out to criticize their own industries in various ways.

To be honest, after this period of time, Li Qian's biggest feeling is that the media people on Mi Lijian's side are much more professional than domestic ones.

After all, Mi Lijian's entertainment media industry developed early, and he seldom talks nonsense, even if he talks nonsense, it is very true.

This is called professionalism, and all kinds of citations are at your fingertips.

Some film critics gave an example of the movie Simone starring Al Pacino. The movie tells the story of a Hollywood director who got into big trouble because the heroine of the movie left suddenly. Finally, a three-dimensional virtual movie was created with a computer. character, to replace the heroine in the movie.

Created with computers, it tends to be perfect in all aspects. The heroine who kills men, women, and children has become a popular idol in a single page, and has countless admirers.

People ignore the art of film in pursuit of a perfect "woman".

There is a plot in the movie where news of the Academy Award nominations overwhelms news of the Chungdong War and the school bombing.

Based on this, the film critic said that in this society, such a phenomenon is completely accepted by people, and entertainment is more important than anything else.

The media people engaged in the media are criticizing the media’s control and guidance of the people, and the people are thinking after watching Truman’s world, and then being bombarded by the media people, they are convinced, and feel that they are being reduced to media rights. slave.
