Light and shadow player

Chapter 488 Make a move
At the beginning of the year, when Xinhuanet took stock of the past year's memorabilia, two major events in the literary and art circles were on the list. One was Mo Yan's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the other was Cheng Yu'an's winning the Oscar.

When Cheng Yu'an won the award, he ran seminars and speeches for more than a month, gaining a sense of presence.

After that, he rejected all invitations to events, buried himself in the work of the company and the crew, and did not appear in public for a long time.

Cheng Yu'an's seclusion is one reason, and another reason is that Cheng Yu'an is too young!
He is only 31 years old, and the right to speak in this industry is still in the hands of many old people.

Although Cheng Yu'an has achieved all the achievements a director can achieve, but because of his age and qualifications, he will still be looked down upon by the old people.

They have nothing, all they have is their age and qualifications.

They hadn't made a few films in their life, and their beard and hair were all white, but they could pretend to pat Cheng Yu'an on the shoulder and say, "Xiao Cheng, don't be proud, keep working hard."

They manipulate young filmmakers by manipulating awards.

They are no longer working in the crew, but they declare their superior existence on the judging panel every year.

They never admit that they are getting old, but they refuse to communicate with the times, and refuse to communicate with young people.

One of the most common words on their lips is: "We used to..."

They once looked out, but times are changing too fast, and they know that if they go out, they will be crushed by the wheels of the times, so they choose to take back the half of their bodies that have already gone out, and decide to never go out.

They live in their own information cocoons, and they don't care where the train of the industry will go. They only know that there must be no mistakes in their three-acre land.

That's why they disregard facts and public opinion, and paranoidly reject everyone.

Is there a way to resolve it?

When these old people are all dead, maybe this world will change its appearance.

It is not difficult to understand why the Academy Awards will do this.

In the past few days, in the face of the turbulent public opinion from the outside world, Cheng Yu'an didn't show up, and he didn't even send the young lady back to the United States to film.

Chen Jiashang's weak explanation did not get the understanding of the netizens. Faced with the attacks from the netizens, the jury of the Academy Awards chose to remain silent for the time being.

The silence of the jury drew dissatisfaction from people in the industry.

Zhao Yanzi even said directly on his personal Weibo:

"I don't know how the other judges are doing. Anyway, after several rounds of voting, I voted for "Alliance of Thieves". I don't know why the result is like this."

This year's Golden Statue Awards has attracted five professional judges from non-Hong Kong regions, Zhao Yanzi and Feng Xiaogang are among them.

Each of the five judges has 1% of the voting weight, and 5% is enough to decide whether a film lives or dies.

No one expected that Zhao Yanzi would take the lead in announcing his voting results.

The two judges from Bay Island added fuel to the fire. Jiao Xiongping and Gu Baoming also said through their respective agents that they did not vote for "Chill".

"[-]" just won the best Chinese film on both sides of the strait. Feng Xiaogang couldn't beat the face of the Academy Awards so quickly, so he chose to pretend to be dumb.

Nested in the crew of "Private Customization" and did not see any media.

So far, it can be understood that at least three of the five professional judges did not vote for "Chill".

What happened to the judges caught the Academy Awards committee by surprise.

As for the long-distance aspect, regarding the established cooperation in Hong Kong Island - the cooperation with Yinhuang, as well as the long-term contract between Golden Harvest Cinema and the local distributor in Hong Kong Island.

These cooperations have not been affected by this incident for the time being, but all projects that are still under negotiation have been suspended.

This year Golden Harvest would have cooperated with Silver Governor and Media Asia Films for a purely Hong Kong film, but due to the incident of the Golden Image Awards, this cooperation was temporarily put on hold.

The impatient Yindu and Huanya jumped up and down.

On the third day of the event, the assistant president and press spokesman of Remote Technology announced to the outside world that due to the company's business adjustment, the board of directors decided not to renew the sponsorship contract with the Golden Statue Awards after it expires this year.

Remote Technology has been the biggest sponsor of the Academy Awards for the past five years, and now it suddenly announced that the sponsorship contract would not be renewed, directly hitting Chen Jiashang's seven inches.

Chen Jiashang took over a worse situation than Wenjun, but fortunately, Chen Jiashang got in touch with Cheng Yu'an from the very beginning, and brought in the sponsorship of remote technology and Weibo, which made the Golden Statue Awards progress steadily in the past few years.

Now local bosses in Hong Kong Island are not willing to invest in movies when they have money. They are more willing to invest in mainland real estate and the Internet if they have money.

Mainland movies have grown by leaps and bounds in the past two years, especially in 12, when they contributed two movies with a box office of over 10 billion.

Hong Kong Island movies will be overjoyed if they break 10 million. Which one can break [-] billion?
Bosses are not stupid.

Long-distance film and television is the leader in the mainland market, and many film and television investors want to get on the long-distance car.To put it bluntly, they would rather invest a large sum of money to drink some soup behind the remote than to give the money to the director of Hong Kong Island for filming.

Because Yuanyuan has a very strict QA system, it has a very scientific control over the cost budget and profit prospects of each film. Not to mention guaranteed profit, at least the profit probability is much higher than other companies' films.

However, Hong Kong Island directors and their production system do not have these.

The most important thing is that Cheng Yu'an has a ticket to Hollywood!

The matter has been speculated on the Internet for a few days, and the jury of the Academy Award has not come out to make any remarks.

The entire line of Golden Harvest Cinemas, including Golden Harvest theaters in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries and the Bay Island area, has cut all the releases of films in Hong Kong, including "Ip Man: The Ultimate War" and "Drug Wars".

Pure Hong Kong films will be cut by 8%, and co-productions will be cut by 6%.

Oppose?

Fang Bin had already prepared his speech: "In order to meet the upcoming May [-]st, we have maintained and upgraded the equipment of some of our theaters, and these theaters have suspended film showings."

It's fine if Fang Bin doesn't talk about it, but when he mentions LeTV, he hates Hong Kong Island.

May 27st LeEco and Huanyu have a co-production film "Accomplice" released on the [-]th.
Starring Guo Fucheng and Zhang Jiahui, LeTV is very optimistic about the success of this lineup.

Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Golden Harvest Cinemas is going to block Hong Kong films, and "Accomplice" is released at this time, it is like sending a knife to others.

Boss Jia is in a hurry. Although LeTV Pictures is not as powerful as Long-distance Film and Television, LeTV, which is listed on the A-share market, is no different from Long-distance Media Group.

So Boss Jia complained on Weibo:
"Since you are participating in the selection, you must be prepared to lose the selection. It cannot be said that if you do not win the award, it is a shady operation or a black box operation.

"Some people have been so successful, but their minds and patterns have not been opened. They even take advantage of their leadership in the industry to maliciously disrupt the market layout."

The Golden Statue Award pretended to be dead, and after Boss Jia made a move, he just gave Yao Yao an opening to vent his anger.

Zhong Lifang directly attacked him on Weibo:

"When the group held a meeting at the end of last year, it was confirmed that it would upgrade the equipment for Golden Harvest Cinema. This was a plan that was made early in the morning, and the producer was notified in advance. I don't know where Mr. Jia's so-called disruption of the market layout came from. statement.

"Mr. Jia has time to care about us, so why not take a look at your own situation first, a video website that ranks 17th in the market, but has the number one financial index in the industry, is this a trick?

"Do you want me to spread the tricks you played on Xinruili, Zhongshi Longsheng and Chunqiucheng to netizens? And your unusual method of equal amortization of copyright fees is simply the first of its kind in the industry.

"Mr. Jia has given speeches everywhere in the past few years, creating new words, telling stories, and speculating on concepts, but your real products and services. There are many things and many people. We feel that we are not the same, so we don't bother to care about it. Do business, especially the film and television industry. , the emphasis is on healthy and sustainable development, and I hope to see Mr. Jia in the film and television industry five or ten years later."

Netizens who eat melons may be confused by what Zhong Lifang said, but Boss Jia's heart is trembling when he reads it:

"How does Zhong Lifang know these things?"

Then she called Zhong Lifang that night and said she wanted to invite her to dinner. Zhong Lifang declined, saying that the company was busy with many things when May [-]st came.And warned him not to disturb Cheng Yu'an.

Boss Jia smiled, said nothing, and deleted Weibo after hanging up the phone.
