On February 10th, the 92nd Academy Awards was released, and the film “Parasite” directed by Feng Junhao became the biggest winner, winning four best films, best directors, best international films, and best original scripts. Grand prize, and Feng Junhao also became a winner in life.
One
How bullish is this?
1. Oscar’s first foreign language film with the best film ever.
2. “Parasite” opened a new era of Korean and even Asian movies.
3. The four little golden men are individual awards of Oscars. In history, only Walt Disney won them at the 26th Oscars in 1954.
“Parasites” is a film that tears the bloody reality apart for you. The director is supposed to be a fighter who is covered with thorns and dared to compete with God.
But let ’s take a look at the appearance of this fighter. There are only two words for the award: drinking.
And it lasts longer.
This is a man who expresses his happiness index by “drinking alcohol”.
The annoying look of a smoking, drinking, hot-headed man, a paper drunk gold fan, a township entrepreneur, doesn’t look like a low-level spokesperson. Instead, he came out of his movie and tried to be sarcastic. those people.
I’ve always wondered what kind of person Feng Junhao is?
Why is he so passionate about social themes, and how can he ridicule the chaebols with the investment of “local wealthy chaebols”?
In the malformed film and entertainment industry in Korea, is the social theme an art or a business? Is it Feng Junhao’s self-expression or just the audience?
Why is Oscar known as a PR award for a native American filmmaker?
Second
I studied the Oscar ’s judging mechanism carefully. In the final analysis, this is actually a public relations game for the film industry. The public relations object is those members of the jury.
The key to winning prizes is to impress them, both inside and outside the film.
“Parasite” can achieve today’s results, and it is indispensable for Feng Junhao’s personal struggle, but it is also inseparable from “the process of history”.
I found an interesting clue: director Feng Junhao and starring Song in 2015Kang Hao was invited to be a member of the Oscar jury.
It ’s important to know that Oscar ’s nearly one hundred years of history has never won the highest award for the best film in a foreign language film. Basically, they are all American films. Rather than an international award, it ’s a Hollywood finale conference. .
In essence, Oscar is a “circle game”. The judges have three characteristics: old, white, and male. I found a set of data for 12 years, of which 94% were white, 77% were male, and the average age was 63 years.
That’s why the film industry is criticized. The Oscar is actually the “most popular white man” award.
These old mony and old art from Screen Actor Guild and Producers Guild of America, this group of old men hold an annual meeting every year, and they must decide which is the best movie in the world this year.
You know, crowd characteristics determine aesthetic preferences.
If the judges are the gatekeepers of our community property, believe it or not, the best film will be the old driver to take me.
This group of white grandpas is not fundamentally different from our janitors. They all have limitations. They are passionate about the grand narrative of big scenes, politically correct for the lower levels, and pursuing American values around the world.
Iron plate, the pin cannot be inserted, the water cannot be poured, this is oneThis kind of monopoly of the right to speak, most of the time, political correctness, taste is more important than artistic.
It is with this group of politically correct old men that in 2010 “Avatar” will be defeated by “Bomb Smasher”; in 2014, “Gravity” will be defeated by “Twelve Years as a Slave”; The “Three Billboards” in 2018 lost to “Water Shape Story”. And so on, countless …
By reason, Feng Junhao is such a circle game that Smida cannot be inserted.
Why did you do it today?
Because of the changes in Oscars in recent years, the proportion of women and people of color is increasing, which has exposed some gaps in the “barrel of right to speak”.
Frankly, politics is overdone, causing them to be “abducted” themselves.
Three
Since the rule of this world has always been that the butt determines the head, then you can get the head by fixing the butt.
This is Feng Junhao ’s success without the “professional operation” of the publishing company Neon. I checked the trajectory. In order to win the award, Feng Junhao actually “performed” in American media for a long time.
Neon is an American independent film distribution company with great resources and experience, not just parasites. He also has another award-winning film, “Portrait de la jeune fille en feu”.
How to impress the judges of Oscar with a “marketing strategy”, this company is very experienced.
Frankly, it’s pretending to be in the eyes of the judges.
Beginning in October 2019, Feng Junhao’s “preheating” began. From the print media, The Atlantic, GQ, Vanity World, Vanity Fair, and Time, none of these mainstream media were spared.
Social accounts like Twitter have also cooperated a lot:
The intensive exposure frequency and scan range made it difficult for the judges to hide their eyes, and Feng Junhao became their “acquaintance”.
Make your money by understanding you. This is the story in Parasite, and it’s Feng Junhao’s business.
A top art tycoon made a movie that spoke for the bottom. The poor watched so much that the rich made a lot of money. This standing posture of earning money is extremely ecstatic.
Understand the rules, obey them, enter them, and play around with them.
The anti-system is itself a part of the system. With its excellent business ability, Parasite has a keen sense of artistic sense that captures the emotions of the masses, winning a great victory.
People think they are the spokespersons who really care about themselves, but look at this “big director” who is intoxicated in Vanity Fair and enjoys a lot of fame and support.
This is actually just a sleep song. Moreover, there is a pay-per-view.
It is the person who uses the pressure regulator to adjust the pressure relief valve of the pressure cooker. Is it ironic?
I especially like the film “Parametes”, and I like Feng Junhao’s “Killing Memories”. I am also curious about the life trajectory of these works, the people sitting behind the works, and their ass.
I’m not a conspiracy theory enthusiast, I just like to use real information to restore the complexity of this world.
The work is complicated, and the person is also complicated. This is the case with Feng Junhao. Maybe one day, you and I will be the same.
Look, Feng Junhao, this middle-aged man with curly hair, a slight blessing, and gentle humor is looking back on the drama.
