The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 65 Sinking and Rebirth

Weekend night a week later.

Han Jiadong was called to the study by Han Sanpin.

"Look at the good things you've done."

Han Sanpin handed over a document.

Han Jiadong sat down and flipped through it.

The content mainly talks about two things.

One is that Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are planning to separate and hold separate events in the future.

One is the holding time. It is no longer held once every year, but is held in rotation, with the Hundred Flowers Award in even years and the Golden Rooster Award in odd years.

Both inside and outside the words said that it is not easy to win this kind of award, which gave people the feeling of giving up the challenge.

Han Jiadong is no exception to this. This would have happened even without him.

After turning to the end and not seeing the result, Han Jiadong closed the document.

"To what stage have the discussions reached now?"

"It's basically decided, we just have to wait for the result."

Han Jiadong frowned. Even though he knew that this was the result in his previous life, he still didn't want this to happen.

"It is a good thing to hold them separately. The focus of the two awards is different, but they are held every two years... There is no influential award in the world that is held every two years, whether it is the Oscars in North America, The Ballon d'Or, or the top three in Europe, is held once a year, once every two years... This is reversing the course of history! Not to mention the timeliness is greatly reduced, there will be more monks and less rice, and the situation of dividing cakes and double-yolked eggs will probably be even worse. Seriously, this will undoubtedly do great harm to the value and influence of the award."

The Golden Rooster and Baihua had these problems after they separated in their previous life.

The two awards originally liked to win double-yolked eggs, but now it is held every two years, with fewer awards. With the development of domestic films, more and more people are sharing the cake, so double-yolk eggs will naturally be given. More and more often.

In order to allow more people to win the award, the Golden Rooster Award also has an unspoken rule: no two awards will be given to the Best Actor and Best Actress!

This is undoubtedly another damage to the value of the award.

There is also the issue of timeliness, as many awards are highly influenced by public opinion.

How much influence can a two-year-old movie have on public opinion?

It's obviously unfair to compare it to movies currently being released.

Especially an audience-voted award like the Hundred Flowers Award.

People have already gone through one or even two rounds of selection in other awards, and if you come up with it and make a fuss, it will give people a bad feeling that you are lagging behind just in terms of senses.

Not to mention that many foreign films competing for awards will deliberately put their release time during the awards period so that they can rely on awards to drive box office.

You are elected every two years, so you can't let a movie wait for you for two years, right?

Why didn't Han Sanpin know these problems? He said with a sad face:
"I understand what you are saying, but film festivals also have their own difficulties. The film market has become increasingly deserted in recent years. Holding film festivals does not bring much revenue to the local area. Instead, it requires a lot of expenses. The Film Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles every year I have to beg my grandfather and grandma everywhere, so I can semi-forcefully leave the hosting of the film festival to the local government. Now it is held separately. If it is still held once a year, it is equivalent to finding two hosting venues every year..."

He shook his head as he spoke, clearly not confident about the matter.

After a while, he comforted his son again.

"You don't have to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even without you, this kind of problem will definitely happen."

Of course Han Jiadong didn't blame himself. Apart from knowing that this would have happened, he also didn't feel that he was wrong.

What is the purpose of the film festival?
Isn’t it just to make the local movies better and better?

Even one's own development must be put behind this point.

In this regard, the Hong Kong Film Awards has done a good job.

If the Academy Awards expands its selection scope and is no longer limited to local films in Hong Kong and films invested by Heung Kong Capital and starring actors from Hong Kong, the Academy Awards will definitely not be surpassed step by step by the Golden Horse Awards.

But it didn't do that.

Because it knows that once it does that, it will only accelerate the decline of Hong Kong movies. Especially as the mainland film market gradually rises.

They need the mainland to take them to play together.

Without this rule, they have no value, and sooner or later the mainland will kick them away.

However, this kind of rule is also consuming the gold content and influence of the Academy Awards, and will also deepen the gap between the two places.

Because areas outside Xiangjiang obviously will not like this kind of restriction.

Once the gold content and influence of the Academy Awards are gone, the mainland will no longer let them play.

Compared with the Academy Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards can be said to be a film festival that is stubborn, conservative, unprogressive and even decadent!

It’s a new century, but we are still clinging to the same old stuff from decades ago.

Don’t even look at what domestic films have developed in their hands over the past few decades.

To say a disrespectful thing, those old things who cannot keep up with the times and will only hinder the development of movies should pack up and get out as soon as possible!

It has not contributed to the development of the film, and is even hindering the development of the film. The film festival itself has not developed, and its influence has become smaller and smaller. It has ended up being disliked by individuals, avoided by the local government, and has no place to hold it if it wants to.

No wonder even Feng Xiaogang dared to bombard them many times.

Also, this kind of film festival has no gold content, and its little influence can't drive the box office at all. If you criticize it, you can just criticize it. It has no impact anyway.

However, Han Jiadong didn't want it to decline like this, and then after the film market developed, he would in turn drive it, and he would still look aloof and aloof.

Obviously, this low period is the time when we should support each other and develop together.

After being silent for a long time, Han Jiadong suddenly said: "What if, I mean what if, someone is willing to contribute money to solve the various expenses and venue problems?"

"Ok?"

Han Sanpin didn't react at all: "How is that possible?"

How could such a person be taken advantage of?

But after seeing his son's expression, he understood: "You want Xu Qin to..."

He stopped mid-sentence. As a father, he naturally heard about the relationship between his son and Xu Qin, but as long as it was not a marriage, he would not care about it and believed that his son would handle it on his own.

Following his son's words, he thought for a moment and found that the problems that everyone had been unable to find a solution to before were all solved at once.

But Han Sanpin did not let his happiness go to his head, but asked: "You...what conditions do they have?"

Han Jiadong said clearly: "First, all the profits generated by the film festival belong to them."

"can."

Han Sanpin agreed without thinking.

If that little bit of income could cover their expenses, they wouldn't have to worry about it.

Han Jiadong continued: "Second, the time is at least twenty years!"

Just like Han Sanpin thought, taking out this money now would be purely a good deed, with no profit at all.

But over time, as the movie market gets better and better, as well as the development of the Internet and the rise of live broadcast platforms, there is an opportunity to recoup the initial investment, and there is still a certain profit margin.

Han Sanpin also thought of this, so he did not agree immediately, even though he knew that with the thinking of those short-sighted guys, they definitely hope that the signing time should be as long as possible.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I need to discuss this with them before I give you an answer."

Han Jiadong nodded: "Third and last, they need to send a representative to participate in the award review and videotape the entire process."

　Thanks to Benbenyu7 and Mr. Yuan for sending me monthly passes!
