After the awards ceremony, a series of media comments came out. It has to be said that the influence of the Golden Horse Awards in this era is indeed much greater than that of the Golden Rooster Awards. The news that Fang Yi won two director awards made the entertainment headlines in the entire Chinese circle. Singapore's "United
Zaobao", Malaysia's "Overseas Chinese Daily"... and even Yangma's news station all broadcast this news in the following days.
Another thing that the public is talking about is of course that Fang Yi didn't win the best picture. This is a bit like "Venus Broken Arm". He really could have won it, but it was more interesting that he didn't win it, and it also took care of the "Venus Broken Arm"
The objective honor requirement of an epic film like "Dekbalai" can be said to be an excellent cake divided at once, and the jury's knife skills are exquisite. The commentator of the Asia Entertainment Channel, which broadcast the Golden Horse Awards ceremony that night, immediately said:
"Actually, we have witnessed a very niche situation. Audience friends... for a long time in the past, the Best Director and the Best Picture were essentially bound and had a strong correlation. There is no such thing in history.
Best Actor, Screenplay, and Best Director were all awarded to one film, but the Best Picture went to someone else."
He held up a white writing board. On it was the list of winners of previous Golden Horse Awards. The commentator introduced:
"Last year's awards were controversial, so we won't mention it... Look at the previous three awards, the 46th, 45th and 44th. The winners of Best Film and Best Director all came from the same movie. They were Dai Li.
Ren ("Can't Live Without You"), Chen Kexin ("The Proposal"), Li An ("Lust, Caution")... As for the ones before them, the Golden Horse Awards have been held for 48 times so far. We can't watch them. Whatever
Let’s jump ten years. Let’s look at 1999 and 1998. The situation is the same. The best director winner is Hui Anhua, and the best movie is her “A Thousand Words”; the other one is Chen Xin and “Heavenly Bath”
…”
He slapped his hand on the writing board and concluded: "Because the director is the overall person in charge of the film, the quality of the film is closely related to the director's comprehensive ability. It is difficult to say that the two are separated and the honor is given to each. This is not the case with him.
. But "Sediq Balai" is also a good film, and it is a film that may not appear in our market in the future. If it fails, it will be too cruel and will cause a bigger disturbance... In short, I like this film
The cake was divided for the first time, and it was divided in a level manner. It was an upset that truly considered the overall situation."
"Lianhe Zaobao" published a photo of Fang Yi holding a little golden horse on its headline on the 24th, with a large headline: The era of a new generation of Chinese-speaking directors has arrived.
"Faced with Hollywood's global offensive, directors throughout the Chinese circle have been seeking changes. They each have their own methods and have developed different genres. It is really beautiful and has shown the world film industry
We Chinese have made great contributions, and are still struggling after entering the new century... But it was not until the moment when Fang Yi received the award that we realized that the tasks of the new era need to be handed over to new young people.
To implement - I am not saying that Fang Yi can take over the big stick now. This conclusion is too early, but he undoubtedly provided a new plan last night. In the future, we should consider letting young people take on this responsibility.
Responsibility, they are also qualified to compete on the same stage, and even surpass the previous wave."
Hong Kong's major newspaper "Ming Pao" interviewed director Johnnie To.
Since the new century, Hong Kong has declined, and a large number of practitioners have gone north to the mainland to find a way out. Du Qifeng is one of the few people who stayed in Hong Kong. He loves to smoke cigars, and is nicknamed "Cigar Du".
Cigar Du likes to make various comments. He is an old angry young man who is very stubborn. Because he was dissatisfied with the selection mechanism of the Academy Awards, he announced that he would no longer participate in the competition for the rest of his life. In 2004, he participated in the "Counter Week Movement" and criticized Zhou Xingxing by name. Although he made a lot of money, he had no influence on the industry.
It has not played any role. He only cares about making money without finding a way for everyone. He is not worthy of having such a status in the industry... This is not the focus of this book. In short, this person is a complete big mouth.
He has been making films for decades, starting from the grassroots level, and is the mainstay of Hong Kong directors. He has his own production company, Galaxy Image, and has been cultivating authentic Hong Kong films.
The reporter asked: "What do you think of Mainland director Fang Yi winning the Golden Horse Award? He is very young and different from what we filmed... Last year "Love Letter" broke the box office record in Hong Kong. This year "Back to Seventeen" also broke the box office record.
It sold well and is the champion of Chinese-language films so far."
To Qi-feng, wearing a leather jacket, took two puffs on his cigar as usual and said: "I think it is a blow to Hong Kong directors' enthusiasm for going north."
The reporter was shocked: "Are you saying that Fang Yi threatens the survival of Hong Kong directors?"
"I'm not that narrow-minded. I mean there are so many directors who go north, but the mainland has its own rules and their own shooting methods... Don't think that you can have fun in the mainland. Just because you can get hot money doesn't mean that the movie will be made.
If you are popular, you may not be someone else's opponent! This is the situation now. I think Hong Kong films still have something of our own, and it is also the experience that generations of people have explored."
Cigarette Du shook his head when he said this, looking extremely helpless and said: "In the end, both parties may not be able to please each other, and Hong Kong films have exhausted their last breath. Fang Yi's rise made me understand that I should also put my hope in the new generation of Hong Kong films.
We should support the filmmakers and see if the young people can come up with new things, because the old things are no longer useful, no matter how much you like them, it will be in vain."
"Can you give me an example?"
"For example? For example, I shot my last film film last year, and then I had to start using digital photography. I suddenly thought that film is like the original old Hong Kong films... I have been eating it for so many years, should I
I wanted to do something for it to show my respect and respect. So I wasted some time and money and found other directors in Hong Kong to co-produce a film film. I found that there were almost no film agencies in Hong Kong.
There was no place for printing. We found some of the final films in Bangkok and Taipei... Although I will still make this commemorative film, I realized that it has really passed and it has really been eliminated."
"Then what is your conclusion?"
"My conclusion is to let the newcomers take over, and the old guys should not get in the way...it's just a matter of slow death."
Jiang Wen, one of the seniors who "promotes newcomers" in Cigar Dukou, participated in the new episode of "The Sonorous Threesome" recorded in Beijing, and was inevitably asked about the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.
The biggest winner of this awards ceremony was Fang Yi, and the biggest loser was probably Jiang Wen. "Let the Bullets Fly" won the adapted screenplay and cinematography awards, but other than that, it received nothing else and ran for the entire show.
The media's professional analysis is that "Let the Bullets Fly" is too masculine, and Zhang Aijia is an elderly literary woman and she doesn't like it.
But this kind of analysis is of no use. In the eyes of the public, Jiang Wen ran away and came back with a disgraced face and a hot face but a cold butt. It was so embarrassing.
So Jiang Wen commented on this Golden Horse Awards: "What the hell am I going to say? I can't say anything."
Dou Wentao laughed loudly and said, "Fang Yi won the grand prize, weren't you applauding? I thought you were very satisfied with the results of the selection."
"My congratulations to my junior brother, does it have anything to do with my dissatisfaction with this bullshit Golden Horse? One code will be the same."
