On February 9th, US time (February 10th, Beijing time), the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony was held in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA. At the same time, Mr. Gao Xiaosong was also on Youku’s first all-star public welfare live show "Eat Well", while cooking dumplings live broadcast, while starting the annual "Xiaoshuo" routine-commenting on the Oscar! In the
show, Gao Xiaosong commented on this year’s Oscars for the audience in the form of Beijing-style chattering. "This year is Oscar's new year," Gao Xiaosong said on the show. "Joker", "1917", "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "Parasite" and many other popular films competed for 24 awards.
Among them, Teacher Gao shared one of his favorite movies-jointly produced by American DreamWorks and Ali Pictures, directed by Sam Mendes, George McKay, Dean Charles Chapman Leading starring in the war movie "1917". This film shined at the conference, winning three awards one after another: Best Photography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Effects.
This film tells that when the First World War entered the fiercest, two British soldiers only 16 years old received an order to rush to the death front and send a "stop offensive now" message to the generals there. . When time is pressing, weapons and ammunition are limited, and the enemy's situation is unknown, the two people need to pass through dangerous situations such as dead and quiet places and barbed wire full of corpses to transmit important information. Although there is a risk of death at any time, in order to save the lives of 1,600 people, the two still embarked on the journey resolutely.
During the live broadcast, Gao Xiaosong praised the film and television performance of the film, saying: (the film) explored the limits of lens time and physical time! "1917" focuses the lens on two young British soldiers played by George McKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, showing that they are going to save the lives of thousands of comrades in the battlefield. The story of important information transmitted by the environment presents a tragic and moving epic war picture. In order to restore the cruelty of the war to the greatest extent, the film chose the "one shot to the end" shooting technique. It is reported that such big scene scheduling and perfect shooting also took the director and photographer 9 months of preparation, and the actors also did intensive training before shooting. And this intention finally won the industry's largest recognition at the Oscars ceremony.
just after the announcement of the Oss opening ceremony, many fans expect this film to be shown in domestic theaters. Gao Xiaosong also publicly stated in the live broadcast of "Eat Well" that Ali has already started preparing for the introduction of this film. I believe this film will be able to meet Chinese audiences in the near future.
In addition, Gao Xiaosong also talked about the differences between Chinese and Western cultures in the program. Compared with the individual heroism promoted abroad, China pays more attention to cultivating individual collectivist thinking. This will indirectly lead to greater conflicts between the films of the two sides in terms of characterization and values. However, Mr. Xiaosong expressed his confidence in Chinese films optimistically. He believes that as the Oscar selection mechanism becomes more and more international, more and more Chinese films will shine in the Oscars in the future.
