The results of this award ceremony were fatal to the Oscars. No one expected the Oscars to make such a stupid move at such a critical moment.
Due to the emergence of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival and the Golden Dragon Awards, as well as the fact that the awards were decided by the audience's votes, the Oscars naturally stood on the side of the audience. This made the audience think that this was the fairest film award.
However, many people still supported the Oscars. They thought that the films chosen by the professional judges were truly outstanding and had artistic value. The movies that the audience liked were only good movies, not movies with high artistic value.
If the Oscars wanted to get rid of the Golden Dragon Awards, they had to continue to deepen and stabilize their supreme position in the art awards. However, the Oscars committee put the joke "The Love of the Sandman" on the throne of the Oscars. They even gave it nine trophies at once, reaching the point where it completely dominated the Oscars.
If "The Love of the Sandman" had some artistic achievements, there would be a debate. However, no matter if it was a discerning person or an ordinary person, they could tell at a glance that "The Love Story of the Tsar" was an extremely ordinary movie. There was no need to argue about it.
The reputation of the Oscars began to plummet. Many people began to doubt or even directly deny the fairness of the Oscars. This was the most fatal thing for the Oscars.
As for the members of the Oscars committee who made these mistakes, although some of them were angry like Saunders, most of them were quite indifferent, even if they claimed to defend the Oscars.
After all, the Oscars did not belong to them. They were actually just members of the committee and did not receive a salary. Even if the Oscars were really lost, it had nothing to do with them. At most, they would lose some income.
On the contrary, Harvey Stann's tens of thousands of dollars was more practical.
Moreover, how could such a great award like the Oscars really disappear and be replaced by a Chinese award?
This was impossible. It was absolutely impossible!
These actions did not matter before the Oscars had no obvious competitors. However, when a strong competitor appeared, everything was very bad.
In summary, the decline of the Oscars had begun. It was just that no one was willing to believe it.

After the Oscars ended, the media and the audience naturally turned their attention to the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony.
Then, these people realized that compared to the likes of the Oscar winners, they were more interested in knowing which movies the world's audience liked.
On the other hand, audiences all over the world wanted to see if their favorite movie could gain the recognition of the world's moviegoers.
Finally, amidst the anticipation and anticipation of countless audiences, the second Beijing International Film Festival began.
However, this was a film festival. If they wanted to see the final Golden Dragon Award Ceremony, they would have to wait for another two weeks. Before that, there would be various movie test screenings, sales exhibitions, and various advanced film shooting techniques and equipment.
Moreover, this year, the Imperial Capital International Film Festival was holding a film talent exhibition for the first time ever. Anyone who was interested in joining the film industry could register at the festival and submit a piece of their work.
For example, if you want to be a director, you can offer a short film that you directed.
If you want to be an actor, you can also provide a clip of your own acting.
Even professionals who wanted to be props, makeup, costumes, and other professionals could present their own corresponding works for all the filmmakers to see.
The organizers had specially built a huge exhibition hall in the park so that all the contestants who had volunteered could display their works.
This was a unique event that had never been held in any film festival since ancient times. As for the specific results, only God knew.
When the second Beijing International Film Festival officially opened, the media people all over the world were stunned. This was because compared to the few exhibitors last year, the number of exhibitors and movies this year had increased tremendously.
First of all, the number of participating movies had increased by more than four times from last year's less than 50 movies. There were now 221 participating movies, so the number of movies that were originally prepared for a one-star screening was not enough. The organizers almost communicated with all the cinemas in Beijing and asked them to distribute the movies to the various cinemas in Beijing. Only then did they barely complete the task.
Almost all the 50 movies last year were local movies from Hua Xia. This year, there were still less than 50 local movies from Hua Xia. The rest were all movies from various countries around the world.
In addition, more than 100 professional film production companies came to participate in the festival, and more than 300 film distribution companies came to select movies.
In addition, there were more than 200 movie accessories manufacturers, and more than 10,000 kinds of movie accessories, as well as various movie props, sculptures, and other items, came to participate in the exhibition.
The scale of the exhibition had increased by at least five times compared to last year.
What was even more huge was the flow of people who came to visit the festival. The proud people of Beijing were stunned by the tens of millions of dollars in prize money last year, so they were very enthusiastic to participate in the festival this year. The Olympic Park was almost full of people every day.
Fortunately, there were enough exhibits this time, so all the spectators could see enough new things.
However, after the exhibition had been going on for a while, unexpectedly, the exhibition with the most audience was actually the one specially prepared for newcomers.
This place was full of the works of newcomers. They thought that because these works were too young, they would not be recognized by the audience.
However, they did not expect that this was the place where the audience appreciated the most.
Later, Boss Jia did some research and found out that it was because the newcomers were not bound and polished by the film industry system. Instead, they were full of creative ideas and shot all kinds of interesting short films, as well as all kinds of movie props that were not usually seen.
For example, there was a movie prop master from Hua Xia. He actually used a cake to make a beautiful woman in an ancient costume. It was so vivid that it looked like a real person. It was impossible to imagine that it was made of cake and could be eaten.
There was also someone who was probably a fan of the New Era Evangelion, so he actually created a No.1 machine. It was very realistic, and it was a prop costume. People could wear it and simulate the actions of the No.1 machine, etc.
All in all, the exhibits here were the most interesting and fun. Naturally, it became the place with the most audience.
