Chapter 567 Best Film: Australasian Dream
Chapter 567 Best Film - The Dream of Australasia
The biggest difference between the film structure of Australasia and Europe and the United States is that most of the film studios in Europe and the United States are large-scale studios, while Australasia is still full of small film studios.
In fact, this is easy to understand. The film market in Europe and the United States has not experienced much expansion, and coupled with the impact of Australasia films, local film studios are even worse.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for small-scale film companies to survive, and even the mistake of a film can make these small-scale film companies lose all their money and go bankrupt.
In order to promote the development of Australasia films, Arthur also formulated a more effective measure, that is, the separation of production and broadcasting.
In fact, it is also very simple. To sum it up in one sentence, that is, the business of making movies and broadcasting movies belongs to two companies.
Even the three major film studios cannot guarantee that the movies they make can be broadcast independently to the whole country.
For film studios, making movies with peace of mind is the best choice, which can also save expenses to a greater extent and avoid the impact of the loss of a single movie on themselves.
Under such circumstances, major cinemas and even chain cinemas of scale were born.
After the film studio has produced a film, it will be given to the cinema for playback, and then the dividends will be distributed according to the proportion of each share.
This will avoid burying some well-made films as much as possible. After all, the public's support for a certain film is the highest standard for measuring the quality of the film.
Not to mention, the film development method of Australasia is indeed effective, which has also attracted a small number of film studios and small-scale filmmakers from Europe and the United States.
Compared with the monopolistic and rigid European and American film market, the Australasia film market is more dynamic and more capable of creating box office myths.
With the addition of these people, it is also a great help for the development of Australasia's film industry.
After all, a hundred flowers blooming is the real prosperity, and the addition of foreign films can also prove Australasia's leading position in the film industry.
Because of the popularity of the Australasia store name, these film studios have additional income, such as advertisements in major attractions and major companies in movies.
How can a company quickly become an internationally renowned company? In addition to expanding its scale and making itself one of the best companies in the world, there is a way, that is, to advertise in front of people all over the world.
It has to be admitted that the contribution of these movies is definitely not small for the major tourist attractions in Australia to quickly become internationally famous.
In addition to advertising, many movies directly use scenic spots as filming locations, which can not only show the attractions to foreign people more intuitively, but also save the cost of renting filming locations, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Under the subtle influence of these movies, tourist attractions and corporate brands in Australasia have entered the movie and are well known by many foreign people.
During this period, an interesting thing happened. A European tourist who had never been to Australasia, after arriving in Australasia, actually clearly knew which restaurant in Australasia was delicious, and also knew where the Gold Coast was the most suitable place for taking photos. I have to sigh at the influence of movies.
This was the early 20th century when there were no mobile phones and the Internet. Who could understand the situation abroad without going out?
In order to ensure the authority and fairness of the Sydney Film Festival, the publicity department did not participate in the various selections of this film festival, but organized a new association, the National Film Association of Australasia, which is fully responsible for the opening activities of this and future film festivals.
The composition of the film association is very complicated. In addition to the supervision of the publicity department, it invited well-known major film manufacturers in Australasia as members, as well as some well-known newspapers and media, and some film critics with unique insights.
Yes, film critics have already appeared in Australasia. There will be reviews for every movie, which is something that a movie cannot avoid at all.
This also led some people to seize the opportunity and quickly become one of the most trusted film critics. They were invited by major newspapers and media to evaluate the newly released films in Australasia and attract the attention of the public.
Of course, for those patriotic films that the government participated in shooting, these film critics dared not comment on them.
Although Australasia also advocates freedom of speech, it does not mean that the people will not be responsible for what they say.
What is the so-called freedom? Yes, you can say anything, but you must also be responsible for what you say.
If you can say anything and don't need to be responsible, it is not the so-called freedom, it is a privilege, a super privilege that overrides the entire country and society.
Take the United States as an example. The president of the United States dare not say anything, because the president's image determines the president's approval rating and the image of the entire US government.
Representatives of major political parties dare not say anything. If they say it right, it's okay, but if they say it wrong, it's the fault of the entire party.
In order to ensure the authority and fairness of each award, these film studios cannot rate the films they produce when evaluating them to ensure the accuracy of the ratings.
At the same time, all evaluations will remove the highest score and the lowest score, and then calculate the average score of the film as the score of the film in a certain award.
The winner of the award will be the one with the highest score. The entire evaluation is open and transparent, and the final score must be announced to the public to ensure the fairness of the entire evaluation process.
Arthur didn't want the film festival he founded with great effort to become a joke show that attracts attention in the future, where whoever gives more money can win the prize.
Under the attention of everyone, the first film festival in the history of the world officially began.
It was not grand, but not simple either. The Sydney Film Festival, which was enough to be recorded in the history of film and influenced the development of the entire Australasian film industry, began in this way.
Gary Sanderson, the first president of the National Film Association, walked up to the stage slowly, looked at the list he had prepared in his hand, bowed slightly to everyone present, and then announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen! It is an honor to be the presenter for the first Sydney Film Festival award-winning film held by the National Film Association of Australia.
I know you are all looking forward to which films will win the awards, so let us reveal the answer together!
I declare that the film that won the Best Film Award at the first Sydney Film Festival is - "Australasian Dream"! "
Hearing this, a director of the Royal Film Studio stood up as a matter of course, walked up to the stage with a smile, took the certificate handed over by President Gary, bowed slightly to everyone, and then delivered his acceptance speech.
The acceptance speeches are all the same, nothing more than thanking Arthur, thanking the royal family, and thanking the film studio and the public for their support for the film.
When they heard the first and most important award, although everyone present was slightly surprised, they were soon relieved.
Although there are many movies that can be compared with Australasian Dream, as the first sound film in Australasia, Australasian Dream has brought great changes to the Australasian film industry, and it is natural to win the award.
The content on this certificate is also very simple, simply describing the awards won by Australasian Dream, as well as the production unit and production staff.
However, as the first important award of the first film festival, the award of the Best Film Award attracted a lot of media attention, and the spotlights kept flashing, and people were recording this moment.
"Then next, the film that won the Best Screenplay Award at the first Sydney Film Awards is - Heroes!" Gary Sanderson continued to announce with a smile.
A director from the Sydney Film Studio quickly stood up, took the certificate from Gary with a smile, and also released his own acceptance speech.
Heroes is a film shot in Australasia after the war and during the flu period, mainly about heroes in war and flu.
Such a patriotic film is not for profit, but to better move the Australasians to fight and work for the country.
Because there are three short stories, and each story is extremely colorful and moving, it is natural that it won the Best Screenplay Award.
This does not mean that the Film Association prefers patriotic films shot by the state, but compared with the low-cost films invested by small and medium-sized film studios, the patriotic films invested by the three major film studios with national backgrounds are truly high-investment and large-scale productions.
Apart from anything else, there are many writers, novelists and writers working hard behind these patriotic films. Such a luxurious lineup is something that other small and medium-sized film studios dare not imagine.
With these people, it is not too much to win a Best Screenplay Award. Even the previous Australasian Dream was a competitor for the Best Screenplay Award. If it had not won the Best Film Award, it is hard to say who would win the Best Screenplay Award.
Each movie can only win one award, which is also a special rule of this film festival.
Although it is known that doing so may cause a good movie to miss multiple awards, there is no way. The first Sydney Film Festival selected hundreds of films. If it is not done, more films will lose the opportunity to win awards.
Just like now, if it were not a hard rule, I am afraid that the two films, Australasian Dream and Hero, would have won at least a few more awards.
It is worth mentioning that there are not many awards for this film festival. At most, there are only six awards: Best Film Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Photography Award and Best Music Award.
Among them, the Director Award and Actor Award are given to individuals, and the others are given to movies. Before the final winners of these awards are announced, it is really difficult to determine who will win the honor.
However, such a confusing competition is also the most attractive part of this film award, and it also reflects the fairness and justice of the film selection to a considerable extent.
For film festivals where the results have been predetermined, either the quality of the film is unilaterally crushed, or the background of the film studio is unilaterally crushed.
Such a situation is not a good thing for the selection of film festivals, nor is it a good thing for the development of films.
Only by giving more opportunities to small and medium-sized film companies and ensuring the fairness and justice of the film selection environment can the film industry go further and develop better.
