The nominations for the 2011 Golden Rooster Awards were quite unpopular, and there were some films that were unheard of before and since.
For example, "Eji" and "Love on the Covered Bridge" are almost completely unfamiliar to most viewers and have not been released in theaters; those that have been released in theaters have not been released for a long time, such as "Qingming Festival" and "Three Days Tour"
"The total box office was too low to be counted because it was a work in the local dialect of Xihu City.
Audiences from other regions must first put on a mask of pain and transform into a werewolf.
These films, with very different styles and hugely different costs, should not be competing in the same category at all, but they appeared in multiple award competitions at the same time. This made the media think that the Golden Rooster Awards wanted to have a major reform, so they should first focus on it.
The unexpected ones give hints to the outside world.
Previously, the Golden Rooster Awards have been criticized for being too biased towards "main theme" films and being too heavily influenced by political dogmatism. Hong Kong Filmmaker Wen Jun criticized the Golden Rooster Awards for "all awards have deals and conditions"...
This situation has led to the rise of the mainland film industry. The Golden Rooster has always been "nominally" the highest award in the Chinese film industry. In fact, the industry is more recognized by the "Golden Horse" award held by Baodao - although the mixed private goods are not
few.
But everything is afraid of being worse than worse.
In the past ten years, none of the Golden Rooster Award's best films has been shortlisted for the three major European film festivals. Let's take a look at these best films. Does anyone know?
"The Choice of Life and Death", "The Storm", "Warm", "Taihang Mountains", "Beautiful Big Feet"...
In fact, these films are very good, but they do not reach the point where they represent the highest level of Chinese films held every two years. Taking them out is really flattering and destroys the Great Wall.
The chairman of this year's organizing committee is Fang Yi's senior brother, and he is also a talent who speaks the truth to the media. Previously, the media asked him whether there would be another "double yolk egg" this year?
The double-yolked egg means that an award with an absolute attribution is awarded to multiple parties. For example, the "Best" film is given to two or three films, and the "Best" film is given to two or three people...The result is that it damages the credibility of the award and the award.
Lost its meaning.
Senior Brother Kang is too honest, "Under the current system, there is no guarantee that double-yolk eggs will no longer be born."
Pour cold water on the media.
So much so that Fang Yi didn't take the Golden Rooster Award too seriously. He was shortlisted for "Best Picture", "Best Actor" and "Best Screenplay", and had a direct conflict of interest with "Earthquake" and "The Steel Piano"
.
But when he met Director Feng and "The Piano" director Zhang Meng when he entered the venue, he could still smile and wave. The other two directors were in a similar state to him, and everyone was more relaxed.
Maybe there will be prizes for everyone to win, and they will all be the best.
The Golden Rooster Awards have not only produced double-yolked eggs, but also triple-yolked eggs. Isn’t that just right for everyone at the moment?
Shortly after sitting down, an actor Wu Gang appeared above, claiming to be the host of this award ceremony, and then started talking about stand-up comedy:
"Movies record simple life and also write historical pictures. My mother "Nuan" has a pair of "beautiful big feet", and my father "Luotuo Xiangzi" accompanied him through "Taihang Mountains"..."
It turns out that the names of the best films of all time are connected together.
This job was a bit awkward, and Fang Yi was on pins and needles, but the others appreciated it and looked at it with admiration.
"Eh!"
Liu Tianxian pinched Fang Yi's flesh and whispered, "Can our movie be on this list in the future?"
Fang Yi: "I don't know."
She was dissatisfied, "I'm talking about your movie too~ Why aren't you so enthusiastic?"
"I dreamed that someone named Han told me that I could win at least one award, but I didn't know which one - now I naturally lost the surprise, and if I got the only award, I would have to win it with other people.
How can you make me happy? It’s better not to give up. At least there will be people who feel pity for me.”
"You don't want it, I want it! Fang Yi, you are so confident that the movies you will make in the future will get better and better... I don't know if I will ever have the chance to win an acting award in this life. I cherish every honor."
"Okay, okay," Fang Yi expressed his surrender, his voice getting lower and lower, "We'll see the results in an hour, don't let everyone down."
There are a lot of awards in Fang Yi's house, many of which are rubbish that he has no time to receive, such as the Macau Golden Lotus Best Actor, the Best Director of Asian New Fashion, and the annual film of the Sou Fox Entertainment Festival... They were forcefully given to them by the organizer, so Fang Yi
Stuff them all under the storage box.
He was even the winner of the 2010 and 2011 Houston International Film Festival! The sponsor behind this film festival is a domestic public relations company, which awards more than 200 awards a year.
In the early years, Sister Zhen was addicted to buying charts. When she was trying to improve her performance, she reached a deal with the company. Fang Yi dominated the Pheasant Awards for a while, winning seventeen Best Actors in a single year. Sister Zhen then happily issued a press release,
"Fang Yi, the Seventeenth Best Actor, achieves another great achievement"...
"His number of movie stars has exceeded the record"...
"What is the value of the Seventeenth Best Actor? Fang Yi tells you, talent plus hard work can..."
Damn it, don't bury it, I want to send a lawyer's notice.
I warn you not to give me any more prizes!
Soon, Liu Tianxian said curiously, probably thinking of Fang Yi's several boxes of pheasant prizes.
"I read in the media that the Golden Rooster is going to be unpopular this year. Maybe there will no longer be two-yolk and three-yolk eggs. Maybe you participated in the first session of normalization."
Fang Yidao: "This is also the reason why everyone is willing to come. Although I have been living for ten consecutive years, I feel every year that I really believe you this time is the last time..."
Liu Tianxian felt that Fang Yi was unusually venomous today and couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know yet that she would also win a lot of pheasant awards in the future.
Throughout the awards ceremony, according to the importance of the awards, the most important ones were put at the back. During this period, Fang Yi came on stage as a guest presenter and was responsible for handing out awards for the newly added award "Best Small and Medium-Cost Feature Film".
A slide show of a series of pictures on the screen shows Fang Yi's process of campaigning for "small and medium-budget films": at China Film's Han Sanping office, at screening interviews at theaters, at organized director symposiums...
Without him, there would not be this award.
Because when the Golden Rooster Awards first opened, they commemorated an old veteran who had struggled for 40 years in the dubbing industry and gave her a lifetime achievement award. Everyone remembered her together... At this moment, the award ceremony was halfway through, but suddenly it started playing. Fang Yi’s slides.
Fang Yi himself was reading the manuscript and telling warm-up jokes without realizing it. The people below felt it was obvious: this seemed to imply that he was taking over, and Fang Yi was the next one to fight for forty years.
The winner was director Lu Yang and the actor Zhou Yiwei. The crew came up with a roar and thanked Fang Yi.
Before Fang Yi came off the stage and took his seat, he heard 32-year-old director Lu Yang say: "Fang Yi has always been an actor I want to work with, and he is also one of the directors I admire most..."
Suddenly, the conversation changed, ""Cinema for the Blind" is by no means my only movie. In future movies, I hope that I have the conditions to be able to respect the other person in the movie - I mean, imitate the movies he has made. A certain scene."
Lu Yang was really excited and could not do without Fang Yi.
After he got off the stage, he walked over to him. Fang Yi had no choice but to get up and hug him, congratulating him on winning the award. He said that his film was good and his techniques were wonderful.
When his back was gone, Fang Yi asked the people around him in a low voice: "Who is Lu Yang?"
