Chapter 219 Encounter

The Golden Film Awards are different. The Golden Film Awards take Hong Kong local films as the standard. There are three conditions for participating in the Golden Film Awards. First, there must be more than 8 people in the film team who are registered in Hong Kong, including actors, photographers, screenwriters, etc. Second: The film director must be registered in Hong Kong. Third: Films with Hong Kong capital injection. If you meet any two of the three conditions, you can sign up for the award.

Just like later: "Full City with Golden Armor" and "Night Banquet" can sign up for the Golden Statue Award because it meets the first and third conditions, and "Aunt's Postmodern Life" can also sign up for the Golden Statue Award because it meets the second and third conditions.

For example, although "Creme, Caution" has Hong Kong capital injection, director Ang Lee is Taiwanese, and there are less than 8 Hong Kong people in the film team, so he can only sign up for the best Asian film.

Compared with the Golden Horse Award, the Golden Statue Award is really a little pettish. Basically, only Hong Kong-related factors can be awarded the Golden Statue Award, which is widely criticized. If it was in the past, it will not matter. In the past, when Hong Kong movies were the most brilliant, Hong Kong films basically represented Chinese films, and generally speaking, Ninety-nine percent of movies are about Hong Kong movies. In East Asia, this film is the territory of Hong Kong movies. Hollywood movies have to be obedient when they come in, but now they are in decline. In such a declining situation, it is absolutely unpopular to insist on this set.

Although it means to stick to the position for Hong Kong films, you can see that Oscar does not prohibit the registration of films around the world, and does not deliberately favor anyone, but has Hollywood movies lost power because of this? No, most of the time, Hollywood movies are still full of scenery.

Think about how brilliant Hong Kong movies were in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, even if all Asian movies could participate in the competition, what was the use? Can it be more popular with Hong Kong movies at that time?

So in fact, the quality of movies in one region supports a film festival, not film festivals that support movies in a region. If Hong Kong films do not cheer up, it is useless even if the Golden Statue Awards try to restrict the entry of movies from other regions.

Now Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards are both important awards in the Chinese film industry. They are both top awards of Chinese films. They are all known as the "Oscar" of Chinese films. The reason why the Golden Statue Awards can still maintain the reputation of the two major film festivals in the Chinese film industry is not because his strategy is right, but It is the tiger power of Hong Kong movies. Now the mainstream group of people in society are a group of people who grew up watching Hong Kong movies, and Hong Kong movies have cultivated a large number of talents in the glorious period, so it is not difficult for many movies to meet those three conditions, but in another ten or twenty years, the group of directors who now support Hong Kong films. Actors and behind-the-scenes personnel are always unable to walk. When they can't shoot a film, where to find Hong Kong films or more than eight crew members in mainland and Taiwanese films at that time, when most Chinese films do not meet the conditions for participating in the Golden Statue Awards, the Golden Statue Awards will only become the Hong Kong people' own internal arrangement. It is predictable that an award will change from Asia's top awards to Hong Kong's own internal film festival awards!

The only difference between the two film festivals is that the Golden Horse Awards focus more on literary films, while the Golden Horse Awards focus on commercial films. It can be seen from some nominations that, for example, the later Red Cliff shined in the Golden Awards, but slightly inferior in the Golden Horse Awards.

Of course, there is no hope for Wang Zhengfei for the Golden Statue Award. Of course, it is not that there is no ambition. As one of the two top awards in the Chinese film and television industry, it is of course impossible to say that there is no ambition. It should be said that it is very ambitious, and the film directed by Wang Zhengfei only has only one immortality and relies on It was really difficult to squeeze the elixir of immortality into the Golden Statue Award, and at that time, Xingchen Entertainment had just been established. Even "Immort of Life" was released by Zhang Yimou's new picture company, otherwise it would even be difficult to make it public. In this case, Gao Yan and Wang Zhengfei can do the first thing. The only way is to ensure that the company can survive first. As for the golden bonus horse, it is all floating clouds and far away. Up to now, Star Entertainment has finally developed. Gao Yan and Wang Zhengfei must consider winning the prize. For a company, it is useless for you to have a box office alone. If you don't have the corresponding The trophy of the top award is just an outbreak, so for many film companies, in addition to this kind of commercial film, they must also shoot a certain number of meaningful movies, and then hit the award, otherwise the trophy showroom will not be full at all.

In fact, in the following year, that is, the Golden Statue Award in 2007, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan still have a lot of ideas to compete. Basically, "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is destined to release the first part in the Spring Festival next year. According to the selection process, it will be the Golden Statue Award in 2007. Among these three conditions, except In addition to Wang Zhengfei, a non-Hong Kong director, there are more than eight Hong Kong staff in the crew. This is too simple. There are far more than eight Hong Kong employees in "Qin Shi Ming Yue", and there is also Hong Kong investment. This is easier. Gao Yan went to Hong Kong to open a leather bag company, and then invested, even if everyone It's useless to know that there are tricks. He just said that there is Hong Kong capital, and he didn't say that Hong Kong capital must also be from Hong Kong.

However, for the time being, there is no need to think that 2007 is too far away, and there is still more than a year and a half. Although there is this long-term plan, it is only a long-term plan, not the focus of the company's work.

And the Golden Horse Award, although the conditions are enough, as long as it is a Chinese film, and Star Entertainment is of course a Chinese film, but the Golden Horse Award is biased towards literary films, focusing on encouraging the characteristics of film creation with strong artistic surnames and colors, which led some film workers to criticize the Golden Horse Award for being artistic and abstraction. It does not help to inspire the development of Taiwanese commercial films.

Before the award ceremony of the famous director Cai Mingliang Golden Horse Awards, he publicly announced that he would boycott from participating from now on, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Golden Horse Award Executive Committee and the judges.

For this reason, although Star Entertainment meets the shortlists for this year's Golden Horse Awards, Crazy Stone and Crazy Racing, but they don't pay attention to it. These two movies are obviously commercial films, which are all known with their toes.

And it has always been said that the Golden Horse Award prefers literary and artistic films, so Wang Zhengfei simply extinguished this idea, thinking that the Golden Statue Award is more reliable.

But I didn't expect Gao Yan to declare the two movies "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" in private.

What's more outrageous is that both of them were shortlisted. Wang Zhengfei was a little dumbfounded.

"Crazy Racing" has not been shortlisted for only one, that is, the Best Original Screenplay Award. I don't know if it is because of the hasty declaration. On the contrary, "Crazy Stone" has several more shortlisted awards. The first is naturally the Best Original Screenplay Award. The two films of this award are Wang Zhengfei. With a very direct relationship, "Crazy Stone" is completely Wang Zhengfei's handwriting. Although "Crazy Racing" has several screenwriters, it is not easy to compete with Wang Zhengfei. After all, Wang Zhengfei provides creativity, line design and so on. They just draw the gourd according to the same. It's nothing. Without Wang Zhengfei, this script would not have been released. Wang Zhengfei will naturally occupy this name, and the award of the Best Original Screenplay Award has a total of only four shortlisted places. Wang Zhengfei's artists account for two, and the chance of winning the award is very high. With two scripts, Wang Zhengfei is a gold medal screenwriter. The name is even louder. I don't know how many people want to ask Wang Zhengfei to write a script.

The second is the Audience Vote for the Best Picture Award of Crazy Stone. Although this award is not very professionally selected by the judges, and it seems to overlap with the Best Picture Award, it reflects the audience's favorite fashion trend. Being shortlisted for this award shows that Crazy Stone is in the group. The foundation of the crowd is very good.

There is also one of the most important best director awards. No one expected that "Crazy Stone" could be shortlisted for this award, because this award is the top priority of major film festivals every year. Basically, every year is a strong player. It's not to mention that it can win the laurel in the end. It's already very awesome to be shortlisted.

This time, Star Entertainment's two works were shortlisted, which is a miracle for Star Entertainment, a company that has only debuted for two years. Although there are only three awards, it is already good.

And the other ecstasy is naturally Ning Hao. Ning Hao can have two films shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award. No matter what award is shortlisted, it is enough to increase his wealth several times to more than ten times on the current basis. Moreover, "Crazy Stone" was also shortlisted for the Best Director Award. He thought for a long time, but It's an award that I haven't had a chance to get, and I can't even be shortlisted.

As a director, the top award he can get in his acting career is the Best Director Award. He originally thought that he would be very satisfied as long as he could participate in a third-rate film festival in the mainland before the age of 50 and win this award. After all, he is still too young and still needs to be honed a lot. I didn't expect Happiness comes so fast.

Wang Zhengfei recalled the Golden Horse Awards this year. He didn't have many impressions, but there were still some things that were impressive.
