“The purpose of the awards season is now too complicated.”

Below the corridor of a fine wooden house in Beverly Hills, gray-haired Peter Bart kept shaking his head and said to his companion who had afternoon tea together, "Some people are not making movies, but just to win prizes!"

The person sitting opposite was also gray-haired and seemed to be older. He put down the teacup and nodded his head gently, as if he agreed with his old friend's opinion.

Peter Bart has been a member of the academy since 1969, which also means that he is also an Oscar judge. Like Frank Pearson opposite, he is one of the oldest people in the academy today.

However, compared to himself, Frank Pearson has a higher status and greater influence in the academy.

Frank Pearson not only participated in the production of classic works such as "Hot afternoon", "The Birth of a Star" and "Blooding in the Iron Window", but also served as the rotating chairman of the School of Film Arts and Sciences.

Indeed, rotating chairpersons does not mean that they have much power, but those who have held this position have extremely broad networks of relationships without exception.

So, Peter Bart accepted the request of Caa's famous agent Bill Roses, to influence Frank Pearson from the side.

"Those who win for the prize."

After putting down the teacup, Frank Pearson shook his head gently, "They are almost distorting the Oscar."

"Yes." Peter Barth could hear the position of his old friend. He remembered what Bill Rossis mentioned and immediately said, "It's really hateful for such people. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, every time he takes on a film and plays a role, he deliberately wants to win the Oscar for Best Actor."

He glanced at Frank Pearson, and the timing was very right, and said, "A man like Leonardo DiCaprio won the Oscar for Best Actor is simply a condolence to this behavior."

"Leonardo DiCaprio wants to win the Best Actor?" Frank Pearson sneered, "Even if it's for this Oscar, we won't let him win the award!"

Some critics believe that the Oscar selection reinforces the lack of diversity in film and studio decisions. Frank Pearson agrees with this view very well, but the purpose of the Oscars is to inspire, not restrict, and the Academy has been committed to diversity.

However, the existence of many films and people who have won the prize for the sake of winning the prize seriously hindered the Academy's plan to diversify Hollywood movies that it wants to promote.

"Different film styles are not easy to achieve." Peter Bart sighed and said, "Hollywood movies are now seriously homogenized. Not to mention the popcorns in the summer season, looking at these films during the awards season, they are basically carved out of the same mold."

Frank Pearson agreed, "There are too few directors who have strong personal style in Hollywood and can guarantee the quality of their works. Without directors with diverse styles, there will naturally be no films with diverse styles."

"I think..." Peter Bart said in due time, "we should inspire directors with strong personal style."

"Yeah." Frank Pearson nodded.

The two chatted for a while and drank a few cups of black tea. Peter Bart said goodbye and left. Some words should not be said too much, otherwise it would have a counterproductive effect. Moreover, he knew that Frank Pearson had the habit of watching "The Hollywood Reporter". A special comment article would appear on "The Hollywood Reporter" tomorrow.

Adding to today's words, Frank Pearson's views will definitely be affected to a certain extent. There is no need to have too much impact. As long as the position is slightly biased towards Bill Roses' heavyweight customer.

Just as Peter Bart expected, at breakfast the next day, Frank Pearson opened the Hollywood Reporter that had just been delivered. This newspaper targeted the Hollywood industry and is a must-read for most Hollywood practitioners.

As soon as he opened this issue of "The Hollywood Reporter", Frank Pearson was attracted by one of the heavyweight commentary reports.

"Commentary on "Wolf of Wall Street", a movie with a less Oscar-style unique style!"

Just looking at the title, Frank Pearson thought of the conversation with his old friend yesterday and couldn't help but become very interested.

"Oscar is a world of fame and fortune. Everyone knows that most film practitioners cannot escape the temptation of fame and fortune, but fame and fortune are always unavailable. There will always be high walls erected around them, and only by being able to enter the classroom can we get into the eyes of members of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences."

"It is a good thing to be difficult. Since the establishment of the Oscar in 1928, under the unremitting promotion of people's pursuit of fame and fortune, smart films have basically figured out the ways to win the award, and the results are enough to compile an "Oscar Fame and fortune". Under the guidance of its academic achievements, there are many special "private customization" that have been released, and they are willing to burn the wind, fire and smoke, just for the judges of the Academy of Sciences."

"It's a pity that things are very strange. For example, attracting a goddess' favor, the more flatter it is, the worse it is. Some people have created big productions, big feelings, big times, and the common human nature themes of humanity. They are just short of the beginning of the movie with the words "seeking for a shortlist" and ended up losing a crushing defeat. Not to mention the Oscar Little Golden Man, there is not even a nomination."

"After analyzing the incident, the film was well shot, the scenes, sets, props, and performances were all very good, but the central idea was wrong. As an Academy Award, the Oscar has always been tenacious in adhering to the traditional Hollywood values. People encourage a group of people to sacrifice to save a person, but you in turn emphasize that the high and low levels of the weak are really sad."

"The Oscars are like this. The standards are quite high. They must have advanced ideas and correct values. They must have breakthroughs in shooting technology and plots. They must have good artistic standards and meet business achievements... In one sentence, all kinds of words: comprehensive and excellent have strengths, correct ideas and no shortcomings. It seems that only by this, the old-fashioned arrogance that is directed towards the development of world films can win the Oscars."

"From this perspective, if Murphy Stanton's new film "Wolf of Wall Street" is nominated for the Best Picture of this year's Oscar, it will definitely be a miracle."

"Because, what an Oscar-free movie! It is said that after watching this film, some Oscar judges were extremely uncomfortable physically and mentally, such as being tortured for three hours. Some people even ran to the famous director Murphy Stanton, who shot this film, pointed at their noses and scolded, "Bah, embarrassing!"

"Can such a movie meet the correct standards of Oscar values? Many viewers and critics think that the film is essentially a revelation and criticism of reality. However, before the speech was finished, at the Wall Street movie-watching meeting, every time a large-scale indulgence scene appeared, the financial people in the financial industry who were invited to watch the movie were excited, and cheers and whistles came one after another."

"The debate around this film is already quite lively. "Wolf of Wall Street" is also an Oscar wolf. It rushes into the flock of sheep naked, challenges the authority of the shepherd, and destroys the rules of the academy's game. You see, others are either burying their heads and telling a moving or exciting story, or reflecting on the consequences of the US-Iran war, while the young director Murphy Stanton is guiding his friend Robert Downey Jr. how to drip, make, love and take poison."

"This is indeed too unconservative and untrue values. Perhaps if the film is nominated for Oscars, it will surprise people who are proficient in Oscars and fame and fortune."

"But there is no need to be too surprised. After all, the School of Film Arts and Sciences has always advocated that films should be diverse. Murphy Stanton's strong personal style is urgently needed for Hollywood movies today. In the eyes of those enlightened and savvy people in the Academy, encouraging Murphy Stanton is undoubtedly a good opportunity to promote the diversity of films."

"The Academy is the authority of the entire Hollywood movie. As long as it can guide the current severely homogeneous Hollywood movies toward a diversified path, it will inevitably rush to the glory of the golden age of Hollywood!"

"Finally, let's talk about Murphy Stanton and this "Wolf of Wall Street", the film reflects the truth of an era, and this is a film about the truth of the era."

"This movie by Murphy Stanton will surely become another classic that deeply reflects the reality of that crazy era. He has no taboos to tease, and he dares to let the only positive character, the FBI's serious and responsible agent continues to endure unjust loneliness in the depression and dirty subway after being humiliated!"

"This vulgar, spicy, ironic and dark tone is like a bloody knife that completely abandons warmth and chicken soup, pierces the glitz and stabs the sinful heart of the times."

"The truth always seems unacceptable, but in the face of the truth, each of us cannot escape our responsibility."

After reading this comment, Frank Pearson picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, put it down, and then sat on the back of the chair and began to think.

It is awards season now. There must be promoters like Caa or Twentieth Century Fox behind articles like this, but he believes that some of the views in the comments are very correct, and some less Oscar-like films, especially directors like Murphy Stanton, who have extremely strong personal styles, should actually receive encouragement and rewards, rather than those so-called standard award-winning films that are the same in filming political correctness, war reflection and black themes.

If those videos are taken out, people will understand that this is a film that is a film that is a film that is completely for the sake of the award. It has lost the essence of the movie and is even more unfavorable to the long-term development of the entire Hollywood film industry.
