My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 680 Statute of the Academy Awards

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"The reason for the establishment of the Golden Image Awards is nothing more than for the advancement of Chinese-language films. Due to the rapid development of Hong Kong films, we need a film festival to expand the influence of Hong Kong films. In terms of its own positioning, I prefer it to be a large-scale, Radiant, authoritative, and entertaining, it can become the Cannes of Asia and the Oscar of Chinese-language films."

As soon as Wu Xiaozu opened his mouth, everyone was shocked. He couldn't help but continue, "All colleagues with lofty ideals gathered together for nothing more than to let Chinese movies and Hong Kong movies go out of Hong Kong Island and spread to the entire Southeast Asia. Those who make contributions and achievements are encouraged.

If Hong Kong films want to develop, whether it is literary or commercial, they are a unique form of expression of a culture.From the day when movies were born, movies have had dual attributes of entertainment and literature.

Movies are naturally commercial products.Even more so at film festivals!

We are now discussing the independence, impartiality or entertainment and diffusion of the Academy Awards.It is nothing more than a hesitation between justice and the market.But do the two conflict?

Can you deny the market influence of the Cannes Film Festival?Or are you denying the Cannes Film Festival's fair treatment of literary films?
Absolute justice does not exist in itself.We are all elites in this circle.What we have to do is to balance the relationship between the two.It doesn't matter if you discuss art or reward the underachievers.

In short, we want the film festival to have enough influence and prestige!On the one hand, more filmmakers need to participate, and this should not be limited to Hong Kong Island.If that's the case, it's not as good as children playing house~ Of course, you can't just blindly kitsch the market.

In terms of selection methods, it is possible to combine Cannes and Oscars.I personally prefer the Oscars, because our production system naturally leans toward Hollywood. "

"The appeal of blockbuster movies must be stronger than niche movies, how to solve it?" Chen Guanzhong interrupted.

"First of all, I believe in the influence and quality of a good movie. Secondly, the presence of professionals like us is just to avoid this kind of thing from happening? And... we can definitely set up a single unit in the Academy Awards , to encourage those niche films.

Chen sir, Cen sir, you should also be aware of the living space of literary and artistic films.Of course we have to support.But——Chinese-language movies are not only limited to the movies of literary and artistic minorities, right?

The Golden Statue Awards are not for each family, but should be the real prosperity of Chinese-language films!

Compared with the golden horse and the golden rooster in the mainland, we have more advantages!Don't you guys really like to play house games with kids?Take a long-term view... Our films do not welcome those troublemakers, but only welcome films and filmmakers that are beneficial to the film, the nation, and the society.

Anyone who tries to make trouble with the help of the Academy Award should be boycotted by everyone!Because a certain group or a certain individual cannot represent Chinese-language movies.We need to make the Academy Awards truly a benchmark for Chinese-language films, instead of moaning here!This is not my alarmist talk, this is the foundation of our filmmakers and film festivals!
This is true justice! "

Several people who Wu Xiaozu said looked at each other in blank dismay.

Well?
Didn't you mean the Hong Kong Island Film Awards?Why did it suddenly become a hall of Chinese movies?
One word is only bad, but the nature of the Academy Awards has changed.

However, the few people present did not object.

The first is not caring, and the second is self-confidence.Hong Kong movies at this time basically represented Chinese-language movies in the Western world!
"The stall is so big...would it be too tight for clothes?" Wu Siyuan asked.

"Brand Sponsorship!"

Wu Xiaozu waved his hand, high-spirited, "Looking for a strong brand, naming and sponsoring the Golden Image Awards. The emcee has to mention it many times. I believe that in the case of ratings, brand owners don't mind advertising on the Golden Image Awards. !

Every year, we can choose a standard king and name the Golden Statue Award!Make big publicity!At the same time - the Golden Image Awards will be broadcasted live, and the live broadcast right auction is ready!ATV and TVB, whoever gets the highest price gets the live broadcast right!Of course, this must ensure the ratings!
Therefore, I will emphasize that the film festival must be market-oriented!Only by marketization can we have the opportunity to expand our influence!This kind of award has a higher gold content!

Moreover, in my opinion, literary films are inherently easy to win awards!So, don't worry about anything! "

"But how to guarantee..." As soon as Cen Juanmao opened his mouth, Wu Xiaozu said with a smile: "Isn't there still professionals guarding the gate?"

"..." Cen Curl choked, wouldn't he admit it?Slap yourself in the face!

"But why are people willing to pay?" Zhang Aijia said bluntly.

"Content, suspense, gimmick, gold content!"

Wu Xiaozu took a sip of strong tea and raised his fingers one by one, "The content of the film festival should be substantial. Besides the shortlisted actors, we can invite popular stars to present awards and perform! This is a win-win situation in itself!
Award suspense.

We must be fair!This is something we all need to avoid.Therefore, I suggest that, like Oscar, invite the internationally renowned Big Four accounting firms to save the selection results!This is more suspenseful!

Gimmick!

Every year, relevant topics can be created to attract attention!If the previous item is in place, this will not affect the fairness of the film festival!
Gold content!
I hope that the Golden Statue Awards can be used as a platform for cultural exchanges between the three sides of the Taiwan Strait!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are not sitting here today to actually speak for ourselves.

We are participating in history, the history of Chinese films!Every bit of our selfishness will be magnified countless times in the future and exposed to the sun!On the contrary, every effort we make will be remembered by countless people later! "

(all)!

Cheng Long sat upright and straightened instantly.

"I agree with Director Wu's statement!" Er Xiaobao nodded, and said seriously: "It is rare for the Academy Awards to have such a plan, and it is also rare to have such an opportunity! I think this way, whether it is Hong Kong films or Chinese films , will be greatly affected.”

"Yeah, I think so too!"
Cen Curimao and Chen Guanzhong looked at each other and nodded slowly.At least they agree with what Wu Xiaozu said!

Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, under this big hat, he didn't dare to have the slightest arrogance.

They all agree with Wu Xiaozu's last sentence, that he is "writing" the history of Chinese films!This makes them so proud of themselves!Compared with this, that bit of literature and art is nothing!

"I think Azu's idea is very good~ From this point of view, the Academy Award is more like a regular army. At least we all have goals, right?" Chu Yuan interjected with a smile.

"How to start the selection mechanism?" Zhang Aijia asked.

"The Chinese-language movies that have been screened on Hong Kong Island in each calendar year?" Jiang Dawei asked.

"I think it can expand a little bit, and films that have not been released on Hong Kong Island can also participate in the exhibition. After all, it is difficult for many literary films to have a schedule." Wu Xiaozu said vaguely.

This can be described as "hiding the mind"!
On the surface, it is for literary films, but in fact, it is to leave room for "bugs" to operate for many films that have no chance to be released on Hong Kong Island!
Since you want to include them, you might as well dig on the graves of your ancestors for the Academy Awards!Now is the time when Hong Kong movies are full of glory, and it is the easiest time to pass!Because the most elite generation of filmmakers in Hong Kong films is really confident at this time!

Subtly, I also hope that Hong Kong Island movie fans can have a better understanding of mainland movies.

Sometimes, mistakes happen, and some people do forget their ancestors, but many people often still lack understanding and communication.

Wu Xiaozu hopes to have such a bridge of communication, maybe it won't work, but try your best!

"Will this dampen the enthusiasm of local Hong Kong film workers?" Zeng Zhiwei just opened his mouth, and Cheng Long next to him directly retorted, "What enthusiasm? Don't you have the confidence to do well?

This is just like the scheduled release, everyone has a bright knife and a clear gun, whoever has good quality and popularity will naturally have a high box office!Does it have to be treated differently?

Then there is no need to talk about fairness~ Our group can divide our positions at the door of our house!

Isn't such an honor a self-deception? "

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Uncle Long, and he didn't know if this guy was really enlightened, or he thought that if he could speak all Chinese in the exhibition, he would be more imposing!Maybe both!

Next, everyone began to discuss the specific operating regulations of the Golden Statue Awards!

PS: Sorry, I haven't been able to update it intermittently in the past two days.

The daughter-in-law grew up with her grandparents~ she cried so much on the phone.Received a call today, grandma is gone.

It may be interrupted in two days.
