The establishment of an award should be more for the purpose of promoting newcomers. Only after becoming an authority will it have the responsibility of rewarding the best. Treating the Emmys should be the same as treating the Oscars. Nominations depend on strength, and awards depend on luck. "Breaking Bad" has long been famous, and Bryan Cranston also has two crowns in hand. The same applies to "Homeland". "House of Cards" has an Oscar-level production team and has not yet aired. Fa purple, although the two of "Mad Men" and "Downton Abbey" unfortunately continue their journey as uncrowned kings, they are not short of fame. Only The Newsroom really needs a tie.
Although it is the actor who won the award, this film can only be the work of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin. The actor's performance is very good. This drama may achieve the second spring of his acting career, but it is difficult to support the overall situation alone. Although other people's performances are good, they can't be called wonderful. Besides, in terms of performances alone, I am afraid that there will be no more candidates than "Homeland Security" this year. And the director is not very good. You can refer to "The Social Network", which is also a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin. There are many paragraphs of dialogue. The highlight still depends on the actors and drama conflicts. David Fincher distills those things and makes the movie really good. In this film, I am afraid that the most lengthy and almost professional-level dialogues appear. Of course, this also reflects Aaron Sorkin's profound knowledge. In this respect, his style is very similar to that of Mr. Jin Yong. Even if the plot is not very exciting, he will be attracted by the "colorful fallen leaves" in it. The angle and interpretation method combine political events and office situations. In many places, pure discussion overwhelms the plot, and there is always a reasonable explanation for this at the end of each episode, so the episodes will always be different. Charm.
But the plot line of this TV series is undeniably too simple, and the conflict becomes loose because of too many dialogues. Aaron Sorkin is not concerned about the love of those children, nor the good and evil of human nature. The newsroom is His utopian fantasy kingdom, in which all people live according to his ideals, the only thing to consider is whether it is worthy of conscience. People who really like this TV series must have fallen into Aaron Sorkin's depiction of an ideal situation. Even people who think they are rational will choose to continue watching because of sensitive and important subjects.
In the United States, except for the first episode, this film did not cause much sensation, and even the evaluation was not very good, but after it appeared in China from the Internet, it caused great repercussions, except that the national conditions of China and the United States are different. The quality of this film is still debatable. It puts too much effort into the subject matter and ignores the entertainment nature of the TV series itself. It does not put much effort into the characters and plots, and it automatically isolates some audiences. . Elite audiences will really like this theme, they can ignore the love scenes in the plot, the infrequent jokes, and the relationships between the characters that do not change too much, and focus only on the novel ones. Point of view and subject matter, as well as the struggle with the boss. These are the basic methods for whether a TV series can attract audiences. Most TV series can be changed slightly, but this film is changing these basic conditions. Depending on the theme, it will indeed attract some audiences, but ordinary audiences But don't eat this.
The repercussions in China are probably due to the light of the Internet. People will look at this TV series relatively calmly. If this film is broadcast on Chinese TV, it will definitely lose everything.
The film has set the tone of high and low from the beginning, which is exactly the same as the content of the TV series. The newsroom looks at the United States with a calm attitude, which must be difficult to attract the widest attention. The famous catchphrase from the first episode can be used to sum up the situation - "It's not, but it can be".
