Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 916 Audience Vote
Lin Daoqiu wants to reform the Academy Awards, which will not change.

Now what he has to consider is who is the best judge for the Academy Awards.

This time, Yu Teng is looking for some veteran directors and actors, and some people in the industry are responsible for the selection of the Academy Awards.

Judging from the situation of the awards tonight, these people are more inclined to the genre of literary films.

For commercial movies, they all seem to have a feeling of disdain.

So Lin Daoqiu has decided that the first priority of the reform of the Academy Awards is to reform from the selection work of the Academy Awards.

"Actors, directors, industry insiders, audiences, I plan to make up the selection lineup for the future selection work of the Academy Awards."

Lin Daoqiu explained to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui that the people in the industry he was talking about actually referred to reporters, editors, and writers working in the media.

"Brother Qiu, wouldn't it be good to let ordinary audiences participate in the selection?"

Zheng Danrui didn't have any prejudices, but he felt that the general audience's views on movies were obviously not as professional as those in the industry.

If the selection is based on their preferences, most of the people will definitely choose the movie with the highest box office.

"The audience is our bread and butter. There is nothing wrong with letting them participate in the selection. I plan to use a three-three-two-two ratio, with directors and actors each accounting for [-]%, and industry insiders and audiences each accounting for [-]%. belong."

What Lin Daoqiu thinks is actually very simple. The Academy Awards cannot be completely biased towards the category of literary films. Joining the audience's vote can better pull this ship that has turned back.

"Since Brother Qiu has already made up his mind, I naturally agree with it, but how do the audience vote?"

Wen Jun felt that Lin Daoqiu's idea was not difficult to implement, but how to collect votes from the audience was a big problem.

If this point is not done well, I am afraid that the Hong Kong Film Awards will be questioned by the public, thinking that Lin Daoqiu is doing black box operations.

"I have already negotiated with Mr. Ma of Oriental Daily. This year, we will start a magazine about movies. Every year when the Golden Image Awards are approaching, votes for the Golden Image Awards will be included in it. The audience can just send the tickets back to the agency. gone."

Lin Daoqiu had already thought about this point, and he had already discussed it with Boss Ma from "Oriental Daily".

I didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to have thought so thoroughly, and the audience's votes in the Academy Awards only accounted for 20.00%, which didn't have a big impact on the results.

After chatting with Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui for a while, Lin Qingxia walked towards them with a glass of wine.

"Miss Lin..."

When Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui saw Brigitte Lin, they immediately greeted her, and then got up and left under the pretext of having something to do.

"Do you feel it's a pity that you didn't win the Best Actress in the first Academy Awards?"

Lin Daoqiu dared to ask such a question because Brigitte Lin didn't seem to be disappointed at all. It seemed that she should have guessed that this year's Golden Statue Award was not for her.

"Miss Lin deserves the award. Even if it was me, I'm afraid I would vote for her."

Brigitte Lin is quite open-minded. After all, compared with "Pretty Girl", "I Love Evening Fragrance" may hardly be recognized by the judges.

"It's a pity that Miss Lin is not Miss Pilin."

Lin Daoqiu joked with a smile.

"Well, it sounds like what you said is quite right. Anyway, it's Lin who won the award, so I'm honored."

After Brigitte Lin finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "When I came here, I heard you and Wen Jun chatting about the reform of the Academy Awards?"

Brigitte Lin was quite interested in this matter, after all, the first Academy Awards was indeed very good, she didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was dissatisfied with.

She briefly explained her thoughts to Brigitte Lin, and when the other party finished listening, Brigitte Lin suddenly showed a strange expression on her face.

Because in her opinion, film awards are more inclined to literary and drama films, which is a very normal thing. She doesn't understand what Lin Daoqiu is worried about.

"I really think that if the Academy Award is more biased towards commercial films, it may not be a good thing for the future of Xiangjiang Films."

In Lin Qingxia's view, it is not easy for literary films to survive. Whether it is box office results or businessmen willing to invest in literary films, there are far fewer than commercial films.

If Lin Daoqiu balances out the Academy Awards, then who will make literary films at that time, I am afraid that everyone will go the way of commercial films.

"I think it's better for us not to argue about this matter. If the Academy Awards are reduced to a carnival night for literary films, I would rather not do it."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Lin Qingxia not very happy, because the atmosphere of literary films on Baodao was much stronger than that on Xiangjiang.

However, she also had to admit that it was really difficult for Baodao's film market to develop well. That's why she came to Xiangjiang to change her previous acting style and focus on the commercial film market.

"By the way, how are you doing in Yuan's class during this time? I've been busy with the Academy Awards recently, so I don't have time to see you."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Brigitte Lin with an apologetic face. Because of the trivial matters, he really rarely visited Lin Qingxia's class during this time.

"I'm not a kid anymore, I know you have a lot of things to do, and I'm pretty good in Yuan's class, so I'm used to it, don't worry."

Lin Qingxia didn't lose her temper because Lin Daoqiu didn't go to see her. After all, she is almost 29 years old now, and she has reached a very mature age. Her views on things are very different from her before.

"The preparations for "Tomb Raider" have already begun. As soon as your special training is over, we will leave Xiangjiang and move to a foreign country for filming."

Brigitte Lin had never heard Lin Daoqiu talk about where they were going to shoot "Tomb Raider" this time.

As for Lin Qingxia's question, Lin Daoqiu didn't answer directly, because he didn't know where to choose now.

But what is certain is that for the first episode of "Tomb Raider", Lin Daoqiu will choose to shoot in a Southeast Asian country, because the terrain there is more in line with Lin Daoqiu's script.

"It's so mysterious, and I don't know what you're doing. Anyway, everything will be handled by you. If "Tomb Raider" doesn't get a good box office by then, let's see how I will deal with you."

After Brigitte Lin finished speaking, she raised her fist towards Lin Daoqiu.

In fact, Brigitte Lin was just joking with Lin Daoqiu. She also knew that whether she could get a good box office was probably beyond Lin Daoqiu's control.

After all, sometimes, whether a movie can get a good box office after filming and release, sometimes there will be some luck factors.
