Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 373 Members of the Academy Awards Association

"Does he want you to be the peacemaker?"

Chen Qiming asked with a half-smile.

Based on his understanding of Wong Kar-wai, he should not let Liu Weiqiang be the peacemaker.

Sure enough, after listening to Chen Qiming's words, Liu Weiqiang fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Qiming already understood that Liu Weiqiang was obviously making his own decisions.

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for me, for the sake of you and Liu Zhenwei, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble for him!" Chen Qiming explained.

"I will talk to him. If he still insists on having his own way, then I have nothing to say."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded.

He didn't care too much about Wong Kar-wai.

However, according to his estimation, it is unlikely that Liu Weiqiang can persuade the other party.

The traffic in Hong Kong is not very good. Even if it is not the evening rush hour, it took Chen Qiming and his wife more than two hours to get to the office building of the Hong Kong Film Association.

At this time, this year’s film association’s second round of judging panels are basically in place.

Most of the members of the jury are acquaintances.

Sammo Hung, Tsui Hark, the bosses of major film companies.

Among them, Xiang Huasheng came from the Xiang family brothers.

Chen Qiming didn't have much interaction with this person, but he still knew him.

Although the relationship between Pacific Cinemas and Yongsheng is not very good, this does not affect the happy conversation between Chen Qiming and the Xiang brothers.

Many people have always thought that the leader of the Xiang brothers' film and television company is Xiang Huaqiang. In fact, this is an illusion.

From a professional perspective in film, Xiang Huasheng is obviously more professional than Xiang Huaqiang.

In addition, the leader of Yongsheng Company has always been Xiang Huasheng.

Most of the films produced by this company are basically produced by Xiang Huasheng.

Even when Wang Jing filmed God of Gamblers, Xiang Huasheng also contributed to the creativity of the film.

In the later generations of the dream, Wang Jing highly respected him.

Of course, let’s not talk about the grievances between Wang Jing and his respective women for the time being.

"Mr. Chen, in fact, the relationship between our two companies does not need to be so tense.

We are all industry leaders, and working together for the development of Chinese films is our common goal.

Therefore, I hope Mr. Chen will not let our two companies become strangers just because of some small festivals.

In fact, our two families can cooperate.

Apart from anything else, when it comes to film production, we at Yongsheng are still very capable.

It is the right thing for you and me to unite and make greater contributions to Chinese-language films. "

Xiang Huasheng's words were so beautiful that those who heard them couldn't help but feel good about him.

“I also very much hope to cooperate with Yongsheng!”

Chen Qiming didn't know how true Xiang Huasheng's words were.

But Chen Qiming didn't mind hitting the smiling person with his hand, so he responded with a smile.

After Chen Qiming finished speaking, he looked at Huasheng.

He smiled and said: "I will host Fulinmen tonight, and Chen Sheng must come."

"must!"

Originally, Chen Qiming thought that Xiang Huasheng's so-called reconciliation was just a polite statement.

Now I heard that the other party invited him to Fulinmen.

Chen Qiming immediately understood that Xiang Huasheng's conciliatory explanation might be true.

However, after thinking about it again, Chen Qiming felt that this was very reasonable.

He really doesn't have any big grudges with Yongsheng.

It's just that Tsui Hark and Wang Jing, two directors who are very important to the current Yongsheng, have switched jobs to him.

This in itself is not Chen Qiming's fault.

As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Wong Jing and Tsui Hark are famous directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They have their own ideas.

If they really don't want to come to Pacific Cinemas' camp, then no matter what Chen Qiming says, they won't come.

Now, here they are.

Nothing more than two reasons.

First, I feel that it is easier to develop by following Pacific Cinemas.

Second, the conditions given by Chen Qiming surpassed Yongsheng.

Everyone runs a company.

The conditions I offer are better than yours, so talents come to me.

This is very normal.

Even if Yongsheng is dissatisfied with this, it is impossible for the relationship between the two parties to become life and death enemies.

As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in business.

Everyone strives for profit.

As long as there are benefits, it is normal for enemies to become friends.

Chen Qiming chatted with Xiang Huasheng for a while, and then got to know other unknown members of the jury. Afterwards, everyone walked into a specially prepared office.

The office space is large, with a large desk that can accommodate dozens of people standing in the middle.

There is a projector standing on the desk. After a while, when everyone is voting, if the votes are tied and there is a deadlock, the staff will show the film to let people find out their mistakes and find the amazing clips in it. to convince others.

Directly in front is a white curtain, and two staff members are carrying the master tapes for screening.

When everyone was seated, Hong Zuxing, the current chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, quickly walked to the main seat.

“Everyone, the new Academy Awards is here again.

First of all, thank you to all the film critics, media people, and bosses for being here.

This shows that our Academy Awards have received everyone’s attention.

Thank you all for coming. "

Hong Zuxing was the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association the year before last.

At the same time, he is also the chairman of the Hong Kong Producers Association.

In recent years, the Academy Awards have had considerable influence in Asia, and all of this is inseparable from this person's promotion.

In order to promote the influence of the Academy Awards, he once approached producers one by one who did not participate in the competition to submit their films to the Academy Awards.

"In addition, I have to express my gratitude to one person here!"

After everyone applauded, Hong Zuxing spoke again.

He looked at Chen Qiming, who was sitting in the middle, and said, "Sheng Chen, this is your first time sitting in this position this year.

But your contribution to Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese film industry is definitely unparalleled by few.

Your production of "Anaconda" successfully made Hong Kong movies shine in the world again.

Because of you, a large number of American businessmen have poured into Hong Kong, bringing our long-gone films to the spotlight once again.

Because of you, the number of Hong Kong films introduced to the West by American companies last year increased from 37 the year before to [-].

I think no one can question your contribution to Hong Kong movies and even Chinese-language movies.

Therefore, I am here to seek your opinions and invite Mr. Chen Qiming to be a permanent member of the second jury of the Hong Kong Film Awards. Do you have any opinions? "

Hong Zuxing first thanked Chen Qiming, and then turned his attention to others.

After hearing Hong Zuxing's words, many members of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association immediately started talking. "Chen Qiming is not a Hong Kong citizen, so it would be inappropriate to invite him to stay here!"

“I think it’s very reasonable. I’ve always felt that it’s inappropriate that members of the Academy Awards can only be held by Hong Kong nationals.

This is not conducive to the development of awards.

And if Chen Qiming joins the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and becomes a permanent member, with his influence, this will definitely be beneficial to promoting the Hong Kong Film Awards. "

"Yes, I agree. Among other things, Chen Qiming's film company is in Hong Kong, and most of his company employees are Hong Kong people.

Last year, their company produced "Anaconda" and "Death Is Here". Although "Anaconda" is a co-production, the entire process was produced by Qiming Film and Television, which is almost equivalent to a Hong Kong production.

In addition, "The God of Death" is independently invested and produced by Qiming Film and Television.

These two films directly made Hong Kong films famous around the world.

The movie I made a few years ago had been sitting in a warehouse for many years. Because of him, it was valued by American businessmen and introduced to North America.

In terms of the development of Hong Kong films, he is definitely qualified to become a member of the Academy Awards. "

"No, I don't agree. The Academy Awards are Hong Kong people's films. He, a native of Taiwan, can occasionally become a member of the second jury. It is already an exception.

I don't agree with him becoming a permanent member. "

Following Hong Zuxing's words, the entire conference room suddenly became noisy, and everyone discussed in low voices.

Some people think that Chen Qiming can become a permanent member.

Some people also think that Chen Qiming is not a Hong Konger and is not qualified.

In short, there are various arguments.

Chen Qiming didn't say anything. He sat on the chair calmly and watched the discussion.

However, to be honest, Chen Qiming himself did not expect that Hong Zuxing would actually propose that he join the Hong Kong Film Awards Association as a member.

This is definitely a big exception.

You know, the current exclusion of outsiders in Hong Kong is very serious.

People from Baodao are not even the first ones to be excluded.

But there are still cases of being squeezed out to some extent.

Now, Hong Zuxing actually proposed to let him become a member of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, which is enough to show how much Hong Zuxing values ​​him.

It also fully illustrates how important Chen Qiming now occupies in the Chinese film industry.

As for Chen Qiming, he is still looking forward to becoming a permanent member of the Academy Awards.

The Academy Award is one of the two most important awards in the Chinese film industry. Being able to become a permanent member of the association will give Chen Qiming a huge influence in the Hong Kong film circle.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he becomes a permanent member, he even has the right to directly remove the right to be shortlisted for certain movies.

Of course, this ability must not be made public.

After all, as an award, justice is the most basic thing.

If resident members apparently have such huge rights and interests, then the fairness of the Academy Awards will definitely be questioned.

However, while looking forward to becoming a permanent member.

But Chen Qiming will not worry about gains and losses.

At the end of last year, he was invited to join the Golden Horse Awards Association as a member of the Baodao Film Association, the Producers Association, and the Lyricists and Composers Association, and became a resident judge of the Golden Horse Awards Association.

With this level of status, being a member of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association is just the icing on the cake for him, not a timely help.

Therefore, even if most people oppose it, he will not be disappointed.

“Members of the Academy Awards can vote on this matter.

Whether you agree or not, you can write it on the paper in front of you and give it to me.

Please rest assured that this is anonymous, so you don’t have to worry about being known because you voted against it. "

Hong Zuxing waited for a few minutes before speaking again.

He was obviously worried that someone would be resented by Chen Qiming if he voted against it, so he directly explained that it was an anonymous vote.

Upon hearing that the voting was anonymous, some people in the audience were visibly relieved.

"Chen Sheng, we were a family and relatives hundreds of years ago, so I vote for you!"

Chen Jiashang said loudly, and after speaking, he wrote Chen Qiming's name on the paper.

By the way, he also wrote the word "agree" on the note very large so that everyone could see it clearly.

"Fuck, Chen Jia fucks this dog!"

What Chen Jiashang did made someone in the audience curse in a low voice.

They all talked about voting anonymously, but in the end, in order to curry favor with Chen Qiming, this guy actually made his vote public.

There are some things that you cannot start with. Once you start, it will definitely flow out like a flood.

Sure enough, when some of the people below saw what Chen Jiashang did, their eyes immediately lit up.

Wang Jing was the first to follow suit.

After he wrote the word "agree" on the paper in front of him, he handed it out in front of everyone, so that people could see what he wrote openly.

"Two damn licking dogs!"

Some people cursed secretly, but there was nothing they could do.

There was no way, because following the actions of Chen Jiashang and Wang Jing, other people who supported Chen Qiming wrote their agreement on the paper, and then they didn't forget to lick Chen Qiming.

"Chen Sheng, I vote for you!"

"I will vote for Chen Sheng too!"

With one individual voting yes.

The remaining people who disagreed could only write down their agreement with helpless expressions.

There was no other way. Others showed their tickets to Chen Qiming in order to lick Chen Qiming. What could they do?
If you don't show it, you feel guilty.

To feel guilty is to vote against it.

To be honest, although they don't want to admit it, everyone still understands that Chen Qiming's wings are very strong now.

Don't you see that Yongsheng had a little quarrel with Chen Qiming, but he finally gave in.

With Chen Qiming's current status in the film industry and the music world, offending him openly and honestly would be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, everyone voted in favor.

A few minutes later, Hong Zuxing announced the vote count.

“There were 23 members present today, two abstained, and [-] of them voted in favor.

So, congratulations to Mr. Chen Qiming, you have become the No. 30 second member of our Hong Kong Film Awards Association!Congratulations! "

clap clap clap...

Hong Zuxing applauded first, followed closely by everyone.

"Thank you! Thank you for your trust in me.

It is my honor to be colleagues with you.

At the same time, please rest assured that after becoming a member of the Academy Awards Association, I will treat every movie with a fair and equitable attitude.

At the same time, I will also contribute to the future efforts of Chinese-language films and live up to everyone’s expectations of me. "

Chen Qiming stood up and thanked everyone.

Especially for Chen Jiashang, he smiled directly at him.

This family is very capable, and he is really helpful when I need something.

Since he helped himself in this way, Chen Qiming would naturally not be so disdainful.

He has decided that if the company has a project in the future, Chen Jia will be given priority as the director.

Even if the other party has a project that lacks investment, he is also willing to help invest some.

After the interlude, Hong Zuxing sent a list of this year's shortlisted works and began to preside over the final selection of the awards.
