Chapter 392 A new chapter in Chinese movies

It’s unclear whether what happened on the night of November 17 is a historical event, but it is definitely a major event in the Chinese film industry.

At the very least, this incident should be recorded in the history of Chinese films.

It is already clear what happened, a series of chain reactions triggered by a certain director's inappropriate remarks.

However, smart people know that in addition to the matter itself, we should also pay attention to the results of the matter. Specifically, it depends on the impact of the matter.

Time has come to November NO.20, and the heat of the matter has not subsided. The media is still condemning it, and netizens are still quarreling.

However, the key figure in the matter, Zhang Hao, has remained silent and has not stood up to speak, which has kept the matter from coming to fruition.

According to Zhang Hao's wife, the famous movie star Da Mi Mi, Zhang Hao locked himself in his room after returning from the Golden Horse Awards and refused to eat or drink.

It wasn't until the night of NO. 19, that I was probably starving, so I came out to drink some porridge, and then locked myself in the room again.

Many fans were very distressed and spontaneously gathered on Da Mi Mi’s Weibo and the official Weibo of Tian Mi Film and Television Production Company to check in and pray.

Some fans knew that Zhang Hao couldn't see, but they still persuaded Zhang Hao to come out on Weibo. This is not the end of the world.

Big deal, we hold a Golden Horse Awards ourselves!

Come on, this is what Zhang Hao wanted. After a few days of 'thinking hard', Zhang Hao borrowed the power of Weibo and published a long and touching Weibo.

The article recalled his association with movies, his determination to make better Chinese-language films, and told the story of how difficult it was for their team to get to where they are today.

This kind of difficulty is also a true portrayal of the journey of Chinese-language films to this day.

"The influence of movies cannot be ignored today. Overseas, there are countless movie fans like you and me looking forward to a better tomorrow for Chinese-language movies.

But now, this beautiful tomorrow is facing threats from various factors, putting the united Chinese film industry at risk.

At this time, as a Chinese-language film director, I call on everyone to act together to protect the future of Chinese-language films.

Protecting Chinese-language films means protecting the future of our culture..."

Many people don’t understand what Zhang Hao’s Weibo post means, but some smart people have already read between the lines.

As soon as Zhang Hao's Weibo was posted, Mainland filmmakers followed suit. Needless to say, Zhang Hao and other directors from the Zhang family, such as Guo Fan and Xin Shuang, are hardcore.

Important bosses, such as Teacher Xuejian, Uncle Dao Ming and others also launched the call.

In fact, Zhang Hao had already talked with them and the China Film Association in private, and they knew exactly what Zhang Hao wanted to do.

Almost all mainland filmmakers, or film and television people, responded to this call.

Even the little fresh meats and little flowers responded and expressed their support by Aite Zhanghao on their Weibo, and then a bunch of fans below said that the brothers, sisters, and younger brothers are really great.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter what these little fresh meats do.

A wave of public opinion was launched through the Internet, successfully shifting the focus of the incident from the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago.

At this time, the China Film Association began to hold frequent meetings with the higher authorities, with Scissors, the Ministry of Culture, the Propaganda Department and other departments.

The purpose is self-evident, which is what Zhang Hao proposed, to establish a professional, fair, authoritative, Chinese-language film award.

Moreover, Zhang Hao also submitted the entire award plan, fully absorbing the experience of the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award, and combining the advantages of foreign awards to create such an award.

The top leader curiously asked: "Don't we have a Golden Rooster Award? Can't we use it?"

Zhang Hao replied: "The Golden Rooster Award has reached its bottleneck and upper limit. For so many years, it has not been able to seize the golden road of rapid development of Chinese-language films. On the contrary, it has received less and less attention.

Therefore, I think it is necessary to re-establish a new award to replace the original award selection system. "

The big leader thought it made sense, so he decided to hold a meeting to discuss it.

Generally speaking, if you drag it here and there for four or five months, there may not be any results. This is why Zhang Hao took the opportunity of the Golden Horse Awards incident to raise the issue.

Let the leaders fully feel what it is like not to have the right to speak about movies in their hands.

The media’s right to speak was lost, and it has not been regained until now, but the film’s right to speak cannot be lost.

Many people don’t understand what the right to speak in movies is. Let’s give a simple example.Although Hollywood films also criticize European and American systems and some social issues, on the whole they still create a cultural Western dream.

Many people who are not high-level intellectuals also worship foreign things, but it is not because they are bewitched by newspapers and media, although there are reasons for this.

But more importantly, Hollywood weaves a beautiful dream, so the other side of the Pacific becomes the hometown that some people have never met.

This is the power of film discourse, which can change many things.

For another example, Netflix has always wanted to win the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" from Zhang Hao. It even bypassed Zhang Hao and went to Liu, but was rejected.

But Netflix did not give up. They found a screenwriter themselves and wrote a script based on the English version of the "Three-Body" novel.

As we all know, "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel, but will Netflix focus on science fiction settings such as human computers, technological explosions, chains of suspicion, and sophon engineering?

Obviously not, they will focus on a past event decades ago, and try their best to make it darker, just like the AFP filter.

Some people may say, it’s good to film it, let us face history squarely and not avoid it.But the question is, can what the enemy shoots be something we should take seriously?

Having said that, we have never avoided it. If we avoided it, these things should be deleted from the textbooks.

But in fact, if you go to the Internet or the library to check, you can find a lot of information. There is never any restriction on everyone, and there is never any avoidance.

It's just that I don't want to talk about it sometimes because of my emotions.

Letting Netflix film "The Three-Body Problem" is equivalent to letting the Trisolarans come to Earth. Some of us are ETOs, and we hope that Netflix's "The Three-Body Problem" can be better.

Isn't this as absurd as waiting for Mr. Tai to rule you and treating yourself as a good citizen?

Therefore, the right to speak in movies often reshapes these issues and gives people new ideological stamps.

I still remember that when Zhang Hao made "Gravity", the ETOs on the Internet scolded him in all kinds of unpleasant ways.

It is said that it is impossible for us to have such technology, the manned spacecraft launching satellites is fake, and the movie is even more fake.

When Zhang Hao successively produced "The Martian" and "Inception", one after another, and achieved great success around the world, these ETOs became fewer and fewer.

Because Zhang Hao used practical actions to get rid of the ideological imprint of worshiping foreign countries and favoring foreign countries in their minds.

Of course, the bones are still soft and it will take a long time to stand up.

Re-establishing a Chinese-language film hall award is also part of standing up and proves that Chinese-language films are in the hands of Chinese-language filmmakers.

Therefore, the seminar was held until mid-December, and the box office of "Daydreamer" reached 26.7 billion, and then the seminar was officially declared approved.

Preparations for the new film awards will begin in January next year, and award names will be collected from the entire society. The specific award selection methods and holding formats still need to be discussed in detail.

However, the awards have been confirmed and the first awards ceremony will be held in November next year.

As soon as this news came out, it can be said that the entire Chinese film industry was shocked. "Film Weekly" called this a historic moment.

Countless people in the film industry waved their support and cheered for the new film awards.

Many directors immediately stated that they would participate in the selection of new awards with their new films.The actors also expressed their concern about the birth of the first Best Actor and Best Actress next year, which will be a new era.

For the Golden Horse Awards, this news is the worst.

This means that the Golden Horse Awards are not only over this year, but next year... no, forever. The people over there have the final say on how Chinese-language films will be in the future, and no one cares about what the Golden Horse Awards say.

In fact, this is how it should be. The new awards also specifically indicate all Chinese-language films, including those from other regions.

Everyone went over there, and the Golden Horse Awards became an enclosure.

But there is no way, a chain reaction has caused the current situation.Ang Lee returned to the United States the next day, saying that he was very tired and no longer paid attention to the Golden Horse Awards.

He is an Oscar-winning director, busy working for the Golden Horse Awards, and trying to put in favors, but this is the result.

Everyone said they couldn't accept it and simply walked away.
