The Crown Prince of Huayu!

After what happened, Han Jiadong deliberately waited one more day before calling his father.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

"I'm having a headache over this! We've been arguing about this all day in the meeting today."

Han Sanpin said in a rather tired tone: "What the higher-ups mean is that we cannot express our stance openly, but we must let the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan know our attitude."

Han Jiadong understood: "Did you come to any conclusion from the discussion?"

"The approach that most people agree on now is to call the heads of major companies and some celebrity representatives to a meeting and let them speak out about the boycott."

"Not enough. This strength is not enough to teach some people a lesson."

"Yes! But since the authorities cannot make a clear statement, we can't think of any effective countermeasures."

Han Sanpin was helpless and asked again: "Do you have any solution?"

Han Jiadong was silent for a while before he said, "In fact, I have been thinking about one thing recently. Although the new star classification standard, the Hall of Fame, and the salary cap have stopped most people in the entertainment industry from playing badly, it doesn't mean much to those who have already entered the Hall of Fame. It even gives them more reasons to play badly. For example, Zhou Xun has completely lost her pursuit of awards, and Xixi has also started to slack off after being selected into the Hall of Fame. So I was wondering, can we make some more divisions in the Hall of Fame?"

"How to divide it? Also, what does this have to do with what we are talking about?"

"Since I'm talking about this now, there must be a connection. The Troika of Korea is said to be above all Chungmuro ​​actors and is the goal that all actors strive for. Since our Hall of Fame exhibition hall has so many floors, why not also set a pyramid ranking? The statues of the high-ranking members are placed on the top, and the low-ranking ones are placed on the bottom."

"How do you arrange it?"

"Sort by points! Points mainly come from awards and box office. For example, the five major awards, the Oscars and Cannes, are all worth 10 points. The first place in the global box office is also worth 10 points. The first place in the domestic annual number one is worth 5 points. The Golden Rooster Award is worth 8 points, the Huading Award is worth 5 points, and the Hong Kong Film Awards is worth 3 points. The Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award before this year have the same points. The Golden Horse Award after this year has 1 point. Didn't netizens always say that there was something shady about the Hall of Fame selection? This time, by announcing the points rule, we can dispel those doubts."

Han Sanpin immediately understood what Han Jiadong meant.

Simply publishing a points rule is indeed not considered a public statement.

But the points of the Golden Horse Awards were reduced from 8 points to 1 point. From being a key factor in deciding whether to enter the Hall of Fame, it has suddenly become a dispensable award...

It can be said that the official attitude is clearly revealed.

Once implemented, the decline of the Golden Horse Awards is almost foreseeable.

Obviously, this method is much more effective than asking some celebrities to shout slogans.

Han Sanpin approved of this method almost instantly, but he still had doubts about the specific number of points.

“Why is it 1 point and not 0?”

"One point is more stimulating. If zero points are not included in the statistics, maybe people will be happy about it and arrogantly think that the Golden Horse Awards are disdainful of participating in the scoring. Giving only one point is like stomping on their faces. Of course, you can give 1 or 0 if you want."

"Forget it, just 1 point, 1 point is good enough."

Han Sanpin smiled and asked, "What about the Hong Kong Film Awards? After all, it was once glorious and is one of the three major Chinese-language awards. It's okay not to make the selection criteria public before and not to value the Hong Kong Film Awards. But now that the score is made public, which is not even as good as the Huading and Hundred Flowers Awards, will it cause a boycott in Hong Kong?"

"This is easy to handle. In the scoring criteria, it is stated that the highest score for the regional award is only 3 points, which shows that it is not targeting it, but treating everyone equally. If it thinks its score is low, it can open up the selection range. Now Hong Kong films have fallen to this point. If we have a good talk, I believe they will know how to choose. I also hope that they will stop being complacent, so that the Hong Kong Film Awards can just replace the vacant Golden Horse Awards."

……

The father and son had a detailed discussion on the ratings of major film festivals and movie box office scores.

Specifically, for a movie, only three actors can get points at most, with a maximum of two male actors and a maximum of two female actors.

For example, for a movie that wins the annual box office championship, the first place gets 5 points, the second place gets 4 points, and the third place gets 3 points.

If the top three spots are all male or female actors, only the top two will get points.

For a movie ranked tenth in the annual box office, only one person can get 0.5 points.

The No. 0.5 ranking of the second-ranked movie will be points higher than the No. ranking of the first-ranked movie.

It can be said that this rule is completely contrary to the original time and space.

In the original time and space, because of the chaos of fighting for positions, a bunch of people who were just sitting there doing nothing just made a one-size-fits-all decision to save trouble.

The ranking was directly banned.

No more rankings are allowed.

Not only the ranking, but even the actors' box office rankings are not allowed.

The already stagnant entertainment industry has become even more gloomy.

The entertainment industry is also in a frenzy of competing to be the worst.

It is a simple truth that only with competition can there be progress, but some people just don't understand it and want to do the opposite.

……

……

Han Sanpin was very efficient. The next day after talking with his son, he brought the matter to the General Administration meeting for discussion.

Finally, it was announced before the New Year, along with this year's first- and second-tier lists and the Hall of Fame list.

As for the first-line list, Liu Sisi was promoted to the first-line as she wished, thanks to the Hundred Flowers Awards and Golden Horse Awards she won this year.

In comparison, Tang Yan...perfectly proved that whether or not you win an award actually has nothing to do with what kind of movie you make.

Not to mention winning an award, she didn't even get a nomination.

His performance in the film was also criticized.

Even the box office revenue on which she depended for survival flopped.

Unlike Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, and Guli Nazha, Tang Yan's acting skills have not changed much compared to the original time and space.

Even because she achieved success earlier and her career was smoother, her acting skills were even worse than in the original time and space.

For this reason, Han Jiadong gave up helping her win film awards and gave her several award-winning TV series instead.

Anyway, as a first-tier TV series, a TV drama award is enough.

As for the Hall of Fame... forget it.

And there are only two new members of the Hall of Fame this year.

They are all from the mainland and their situations are quite similar, they are both directors and actors.

Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen.

Both of them have won Best Actor awards and have also won many awards for directing.

Even if Feng Xiaogang doesn't count the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, he has also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director once, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director twice, and the Best Film Award many times.

Jiang Wen won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, as well as the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, the Golden Horse Award for Best Film, and the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. In contrast, Huang Bo, who won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor this year for an art film that Han Jiadong had never heard of, also met the minimum standards for the Hall of Fame, but was still not selected for this year's Hall of Fame because of his poor awards.

There is no way. Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen not only meet the minimum standards for major awards, but also have won many awards such as the Hundred Flowers Award and the Huabiao Award.

In contrast, Huang Bo has been focusing only on making money since he became famous. He has participated in various variety shows, shot commercial blockbusters, and has basically not involved in art films.

The result is that not only does he lack major awards, but Xie Lei has not even won any Hundred Flowers Awards or Huabiao Awards.

It was only in the past two years, stimulated by the Hall of Fame, that I finally started to pick up art films again.

Now that he has met the minimum standards, it will be much easier for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame than for others.

You just need to make more efforts in winning small awards, and even if you wait a long time, you will be able to enter the Hall of Fame.

The same situation applies to the last of the “three great directors”.

With the movie "Farewell My Concubine", he met the minimum standards for induction into the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, apart from that movie, he really has no other works to show off.

Many people suspected that his movie was shot by someone else.

If he cannot reverse this impression with new works, it is almost impossible for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

However, compared with the Hall of Fame and the first- and second-tier lists, the highlight of this year is undoubtedly the newly released scoring rules for the Hall of Fame.

Not only does it include the points of each major film festival, but it also gives several clear rules for being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

20. Award points: points or more.

5: Obtain at least two different awards with a score of or above.

10. Box office points are above points.

50. Total score is points or above.

5. Chinese nationality.

6. If an inductee changes his or her nationality, he or she will be removed from the Hall of Fame list.

……

As soon as the rule was released, it instantly sparked heated discussions across the Internet.

"Only 3 points for the Academy Awards?!!!"

"Why? The Golden Rooster Awards, which are so cheap, have 8 points, but the Golden Image Awards, which are more prestigious, only have 3 points?"

"No wonder those Hong Kong stars can't get into the Hall of Fame, it feels like they are being targeted!"

"Electricity in the village? Are you still living in the last century? The Academy Awards are so rubbish, isn't 3 points normal? And look carefully, the rules have already stated that the highest score for a regional award is 3 points. There are great restrictions on the entries for the Academy Awards. Eighty percent of Chinese-language films cannot be nominated each year, and the winners are basically from Hong Kong. If we want to give high scores, we might as well have one award per province, take care of the stars in the province, and let the stars in every province win awards every year."

"Why is the Golden Horse Award always 8 points this year, but will become 1 point starting next year?"

"You brought this upon yourself, who can you blame?"

"The minimum score for awards and box office combined is only 30 points, so why should the total score be 50 points? Isn't that too high?"

"Indeed, there is basically no need to think about the global box office. The first place in the domestic box office is only 5 points, but there is only one first place per year, and there is a quota for each movie. Only ten movies can get points per year...Except for Shen Teng and Stephen Chow, it is basically difficult for others to get 20 points, let alone 50 points...Even Shen Teng, who has a box office of more than billion, does not have that many points."

"The minimum standard of 10 points for box office may seem low, but it is not easy at all. For example, Zhou Xun, who has already entered the Hall of Fame, has been acting for so many years. If it weren't for Director Han's "Assassination", she would not have met this minimum standard. The second female lead she played in "The Banquet" was ranked fourth, so she didn't even get 1 point!"

"This rule is too unfriendly to supporting characters."

"Come on! This rule is specifically for the Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame! I'm already playing a supporting role, what Hall of Fame are you still thinking about?"

"Compared to box office, this rule obviously encourages winning awards. If the box office is good, a movie can get a maximum of 5 points, but in terms of awards, a movie can get 20 points or even more."

"Parasite won the Palme d'Or, the Oscar, the Golden Globe, and numerous awards in China. For this movie alone, Han Jiadong scored more than 50 points!"

"More than that, just the three awards you mentioned are worth 50 points. It feels like 100 points."

"Don't compare Han Shen to him, it's too bullying. The points of all the other members of the Hall of Fame combined are not as many as his alone."

"What do you mean by the top of the pyramid? Even if Han Shen announces his retirement now, no one will be able to threaten his position in ten years."

"Too conservative, 100 years!"

"After this calculation, all the people selected are fine. Huang Xiaoming, who is the most controversial, has 24 points with two Golden Rooster Awards and one Golden Horse Award. Liu Yifei has an Oscar and two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress, which gives her 22 points. She also has two Hundred Flowers Awards, one Huabiao Award, and various TV drama awards worth one or two points... It's enough to meet all the requirements."

……

At the same time, mainland celebrities also forwarded the points rules.

The decline of the Golden Horse Awards is basically foreseeable.

As a result, the Taiwanese film industry, which had just started to pick up, is likely to decline again.

If the Academy Awards and Hong Kong films fail to actively embrace the mainland, their fate will probably be similar.

On the other hand, in mainland China, stimulated by various new rules such as the Hall of Fame and salary cap, not only in the art film sector, but also after many years, in addition to Han Jiadong, there are finally other people who have achieved success in the three major European films.

Even commercial films were not affected, with the annual total box office exceeding the 10 billion US dollar mark for the first time!

The gap between the North American box office market, which is the world's largest, is only a little over a billion.

The box office growth rate in North America has remained below 5% for many years in a row, and has even been negative occasionally.

In this regard, although the mainland experienced negative growth last year and three years ago, that was not caused by market reasons but by human intervention.

If we extend the time period to five years, or even ten or fifteen years, the average annual box office growth rate in the country will be over 20%!

According to this trend, by next year, the mainland will be able to overtake North America!

Think about it, fifteen years ago, the total annual box office in mainland China was less than 200 million US dollars.

And what about North America?

92.275 billion!
The mainland cannot even compare to a fraction of North America.

But now it is about to catch up and surpass...

Thinking of this, industry insiders in Taiwan and Hong Kong feel mixed emotions.

But after expressing their feelings, they finally realized the situation, lowered their noble heads for the first time, and took the initiative to use various methods to show goodwill to the mainland market on a large scale.
