Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Public opinion instantly turned to the Oscars.

But the public opinion it received was not good.

In recent years, the Oscars' reputation has gradually improved and they have recovered a lot from the incident that happened back then.

Until this year, when the awards were just given out, it was actually not that bad. After all, "The Sykes Project" had already had a huge influence since its release.

Giving the award to the film when it was first released wouldn't have aroused any suspicion.

Until Onick's review attracted a lot of attention and the box office of "The Dark Knight" began to rise.

At this moment, "The Sykes Plan" has accumulated a lot of criticism. There is no doubt that the Oscars, which recently awarded all the important awards to "The Sykes Plan", has once again stood at the cusp of the storm and suffered endless criticism.

"The Shady Awards are just like what I said a few years ago. This award is now rotten."

"When I watch the Oscars now, I watch them with the same mentality as watching the Joker. The real Joker is not in Gotham, but in the Oscars."

"If the audience is an amateur, they may not be able to tell what is a good movie and what is a bad movie for a while, and they have to wait for more professional people to answer their questions. But the Oscars are definitely amateurs among amateurs. At least, they are more amateurs than I show!"

"A bunch of real clowns. The significance of this award has gradually become a source of laughter for the public."

"You guys are a real piece of shit."

"What I mean is that the awards you selected are unfair even my blind grandmother can see. This is simply too stupid. You can't be prejudiced against a good work just because it was made by Hanxia people."

"I will never pay attention to this award again in my life. I am tired. Let it be destroyed. That's it."

On all major social platforms, the number of followers of Oscar-related accounts dropped rapidly at the same time.

The number of fans is decreasing at a very fast rate.

There were so many insults everywhere that they even had to close the comment section.

But it still didn't work and couldn't stop the downward trend.

Seeing that the decline in credibility has become an inevitability, some people who were originally sitting on the throne are finally panicking.

They also began to wonder in their hearts, could it be that they really made the wrong choice?
But how could they have imagined that this ghost movie made by the people of Hanxia, ​​which was ignored on the entire Internet and not paid much attention to, could actually turn defeat into victory!
And this is still the case despite such a natural disadvantage.

In response to this, they revised the copy overnight and issued a statement.

An apology statement was posted on the Oscars' major social media homepages.

First of all, they apologized to all the moviegoers and fans in a seemingly sincere manner, and expressed regret that their professional selection did not satisfy the fans.

The second thing is to clarify as quickly as possible that the Oscars are a professional and serious award, and any selection is based on a professional scoring mechanism and the judges' high aesthetic and artistic assessment.

They ensure the fairness of any outcome and make it clear that there is no shady dealings or profiteering at the Oscars.

“Our award has a long history. As the world’s top award today, we have always been abiding by ourselves and striving for fairness. We have always only considered the artistry of the work and how far-reaching the impact it can bring to the industry. There is no doubt that The Dark Knight is indeed a good work, but we cannot use it as a criterion for the award just because of its outstanding performance. In fact, there is a reason why we chose to give the award to The Sykes Project.

That lies in the technological innovation of the film itself. It adopts an unprecedented shooting mode and develops unprecedented special effects technology. These technologies will have a profound impact on the entire industry, and may even bring about updates and iterations, changing certain traditional shooting concepts and practices that have been adhered to in the past.

These are the reasons why we are honoring The Sykes Project."

A lengthy apology statement seemed to indicate to the Oscar Organizing Committee that they had indeed done the best they could and had clarified their fair position.

The public will buy into this, right?

That's what they think.

But the result is
Even more overwhelming curses came flooding in.

Not only did the public not buy it, they even refused to accept the apology, and instead cursed even more harshly than before.

"Hahahahahaha, what a sincere apology, I really need this apology from you, wow, I begged you to apologize and you actually apologized!?"

"Come, let me translate it into English for you: We did nothing wrong, it was you who was wrong. Why are you holding us hostage because of some shady dealings? If you don't recognize our award, it means you don't understand, you are not professional enough, your aesthetic taste is too low, and you can't see the artistic value of a movie."

"This is not an apology statement at all. All I can see is the word 'arrogance'."

"There is no sincerity, no sense of realizing one's mistakes, and I can even tell from it that it's because the fans don't understand and the moviegoers are too picky."

"Come on, translate for me, what does it mean? The Oscars are a professional and serious award. Any selection is based on a professional scoring mechanism and the judges' high aesthetics and artistic elements."

"Here, let me translate for you: You are not qualified to comment on our awards, you low-aesthetic trash, insects!"

"This is a rubbish award. I'll block you and never see you again in this life!"

The pace was so intense that as it fermented, it even forced the Oscars' current largest sponsor, Rolex, to make a quick cut.

"Rolex has always been a brand that respects art. We detest any unfair treatment caused by shady dealings and solemnly declare that this incident has nothing to do with our brand. We will also terminate our contract with the Oscars or reconsider the sponsorship contract for the next session."

Nonsense, I have to cut off the relationship, I have been scolded and become a hot topic.

Don’t ever think that just because luxury brands don’t make money from the poor and don’t exploit the poor, they don’t care about their opinions.

After all, the more high-end the brand is, the more it cares about its reputation, and it cannot tolerate any stain, otherwise it will affect its brand image.

Whenever something happens to an artist, the first companies to quickly cut ties with the endorsers are often these luxury brands.

All I can say is that in the past, others begged the Oscars in the hope of getting a sponsorship spot.

This time, it was the other way around. (End of this chapter)
