With Zhang Hao winning the Best New Director trophy, "The Genius" received two out of six nominations, which can be considered a big gain.
This year's Golden Horse Awards came to an end with great joy, but this year's Golden Horse Awards were a bit controversial, both on the Baodao side and on the Mainland side.
The main points of controversy are Best Actor and Best New Director.
The media here in Baodao are arguing about why the award for Best New Director was not awarded to a director from Baodao, but instead was awarded to a mainland director.
These media don't care whether Zhang Hao is really talented or not. They will scold the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee and Zhang Hao anyway if they catch him.
The media here in the Mainland also questioned that Ruan Jingtian actually won the Best Actor award.
Although Ruan Jingtian performed well in "Monga", he broke the image he had created in the idol drama and successfully completed the transformation from an idol drama prince to a movie actor.
But in terms of qualifications and the excitement of the performance, it cannot be compared to the other three winners!
Did Qin Hao perform poorly in "The Night of the Drunken Spring Breeze"?
Wasn't Wang Xueqi's performance in "October Siege" not good enough?
Or is it that Ni Dahong's performance in "Dialysis" failed to impress the judges?
The crux of the matter is that these three actors are all mainlanders.
In the past few years, the Golden Horse Awards favored actors from Mainland China and Hong Kong Island, mainly because Taiwanese films and actors were unable to support themselves, and then they were scolded miserably by some local media in Taiwan.
Finally, this year, a Taiwanese actor performed outstandingly, and the Golden Horse Awards couldn't wait to present the trophy to get back on the right track.
Hou Jianchun, a well-known mainland film critic, said frankly in his column: "This year's award continues the previous award's localization, small production, Hou's aesthetics style, and the dormant Baodao film needs to be revived.
But such excessive local protectionism and profound jury chairman style are not conducive to the normal and healthy development of Baodao Film.
What's more, in film art, commerciality and artistry are not opposite sides."
In addition, because Xu Fan did not win the Best Actress, Feng Dapao, who has always been outspoken, immediately complained about his wife on Weibo.
"I don't know what the Golden Horse Awards judges are thinking. Couldn't they see Xu Fan's wonderful performance in the film?
When did the selection of the best actress no longer focus on the actor’s wonderful performance?”
In response to Feng Dapao's attack, the much-questioned jury chairman Huang Jianye stood up on behalf of the jury to explain:
"Xu Fan's performance in "Tangshan Earthquake" was impressive, with outstanding emotional changes, but he used too much force.
Therefore, after all considerations, the award was not awarded to her.”
Faced with such an explanation, Feng Dapao said in an interview with the media the next day: "Chairman Huang's overly strong evaluation is very arbitrary.
I suspect that the judges did not watch this movie carefully and did not see Xu Fan's acting skills."
The reporter then asked: "What do you think of the Baodao media questioning Director Zhang Hao's award for Best New Director?"
Feng Dapao did not expect that the reporter would change the subject and bring it to Zhang Hao, but his answer was firm: "There is nothing controversial about this. Is there any young director who has achieved higher achievements than Zhang Hao? All things considered, it should be
It belongs to Zhang Hao."
Logically speaking, Feng Dapao should avoid such issues that have nothing to do with him.
But he was so angry that he couldn't care so much and fired directly.
Feng Dapao and the Golden Horse Awards judges exchanged insults in the air, attracting many netizens to watch and gaining popularity.
By the way, Feng Dapao also promoted his new movie "If You Are the One 2".
It can be said that Feng Dapao used both curses and propaganda to maximize the use of public opinion.
But this was not over yet. In the following days, insiders revealed that there were irregularities in the selection process for Best Actress, which resulted in Zhang Sylvia missing out on the Best Actress award.
He broke the news that in the second round of voting, Zhang Aijia received 8 votes, Lu Liping received 7 votes, and Xu Fan, who received only 2 votes, was eliminated.
The jury did not conduct the third round of voting as required, but directly added Xu Fan's 2 votes to Lu Liping. The reason was that both of them were mainland actors, causing Sylvia Chang to lose the election.
Huang Jianye was overwhelmed by all kinds of negative news and had to stand up again to clarify: "After Xu Fan was defeated, the jury conducted a third vote in accordance with regulations.
Moreover, all judges vote by secret ballot, so it is impossible for us to know in advance which judge voted for whom."
Controversies about the heroine, controversy about the male lead, all kinds of news were flying all over the place, and for a while, Zhang Hao was overpowered by the award for Best New Director.
Except for a few Baodao media who still insist on scolding, no one else pays attention to this matter.
Da Mi Mi won the Best New Actor, and she was thinking that some media would give her some coverage.
After searching for a long time, I only found a few sentences in some newspapers and online news reports, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Stop looking. When you win the Best Actress one day, the page will be bigger." Zhang Hao said as he looked at Da Mi Mi who continued to look for his own report in the news.
"Why do you think? For the Best Actress, everyone has to argue and argue non-stop? If you don't get it, just try again next time." Da Mi Mi said.
"That means you are not a candidate for Best Actress, otherwise you wouldn't be able to say such a thing."
Zhang Hao poured a glass of water for Da Mi Mi and said: "When you win the Best Actress in the future, you will understand how they feel."
It's not that Da Mi Mi can't understand, it's just that his page is suppressed, which makes Da Mi Mi a little jealous.
"It's just the two of us going to Korea this time. You go first, and I'll go back to the crew first. Something happened over there." Zhang Hao said.
"What happened?" Da Mi Mi asked with concern.
"Huang Xiaoming's horse was frightened and went crazy while filming. He was dragged into a ditch. Now he is lying in the hospital. I have to go back and take a look." Zhang Hao also looked helpless when talking about this matter.
"Ah?" Da Mi Mi looked surprised: "How could such a thing happen? How about I go and see it with you!"
"No, no, no, you go to South Korea first. I'll be there soon after I finish handling it."
Afraid that Da Mi Mi would have a hard time traveling with him, Zhang Hao let Da Mi Mi go to Korea first while he rushed back to the set to deal with the accident.
Speaking of this matter, it is also a strange thing. During Zhang Hao's absence, Guo Fan took the crew to film the scene in the American town of Zhongshan Film and Television Base where Ah Hao goes to find Tesla.
Originally, according to the plan, we should take a car.
Cars had been around for a long time in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but because their popularity was not high, most people still used horse-drawn carriages to travel.
Moreover, the crew searched through various photos and consulted some scholars, but still could not find what the car looked like at that time.
So during the final filming, a horse-drawn carriage was still used.
It was a cloudy day when the photo was taken, and the horse-drawn carriage was driving on the streets of an American town.
Surrounded by extras, the crew took high-altitude shots with drones, and the photographer followed the carriage to take several shots.
As a result, when we were about to leave the town, suddenly there was a loud noise like a firecracker from behind the carriage.
The frightened horse immediately went crazy, pulled the carriage and ran for more than 500 meters before falling into a ditch.
Huang Xiaoming and a photographer who were sitting in the carriage were taken away directly by the carriage before they could get down.
Fortunately for Huang Xiaoming, he fell and injured his right leg when he fell into a ditch while sitting in a carriage. Fortunately, there was no fracture.
The photographer was in a terrible situation. Not only was he thrown off the carriage, but he was also run over his calf by the wheels of the carriage.
What's even more terrible is that the carriages used in the West have four wheels, and the crew's prop carriage also has four wheels, so the photographer's legs were shattered on the spot.
In comparison, destroying a camera worth hundreds of thousands is nothing.
An accident happened. It happened to be the second day of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. Guo Fan immediately called Zhang Hao and asked Zhang Hao to come back quickly.
Zhang Hao and Lu Jianqiu hurriedly returned from Treasure Island. They first visited the photographer who suffered a comminuted fracture. His family had also arrived.
Looking at the crying wife and children of this photographer named Wu Jiang, Zhang Hao also felt helpless and heartbroken.
No one wants such an accident.
But now that something has happened, all we can do is face it.
"What did the doctor say?" Zhang Hao asked Guo Fan.
Guo Fan replied: "The situation is very bad. Brother Hao has arranged for the doctor to perform surgery first. I was afraid of delay, so I didn't notify you."
"Well done," Zhang Hao nodded, turned to Wu Jiang's wife and children and said, "None of us want to see such an accident.
Don’t worry, our crew has paid for all of Teacher Wu’s medical expenses.”
"Thank you, thank you director." Wu Jiang's wife burst into tears and took her child to thank Zhang Hao.
"You don't need to thank me. If you need anything, talk to my assistant at any time. She will handle it in time."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, his assistant Tang Qianxi handed over a business card with her phone number on it.
Looking at the operating room where the operation was still taking place, Zhang Hao shook his head depressedly and went to the room where Huang Xiaoming was hospitalized.
Compared with Wu Jiang, Huang Xiaoming's injuries were relatively minor, but he still needed to rest for a while.
Seeing Zhang Hao, Huang Xiaoming could still laugh: "Director, congratulations on winning the trophy for Best New Director."
"Forget it," Zhang Hao sat beside Huang Xiaoming's bed and said, "After something like this happened, the joy of winning the award is completely gone. How is your injury?"
"Fortunately, there was no fracture, just a sprain. I'm lucky, but Teacher Wu suffered a direct fracture." Huang Xiaoming was still frightened when talking about this.
"Oh, this is such a big deal, okay, you have a good rest." Zhang Hao did not disturb Huang Xiaoming's rest, said hello to his agent, and went back to the set to have a look first.
At the hotel where the crew stayed, the heads of the crew gathered in Zhang Hao's room for a meeting.
The room was filled with smoke. Zhang Hao, who didn't usually smoke and hated others smoking in front of him, didn't stop him.
"Brother Hao, what do the police say about this matter?" Zhang Hao asked.
Liu Haohui reported: “We called the police immediately and the suspects were arrested, two minors.
According to the investigation, this was just an accident, but the possibility of human operation was ruled out."
"Man-made operation," Zhang Hao frowned and said, "Does this mean there is someone behind the scenes?"
"I don't know. It's still under investigation." Liu Hao said.
"Fortunately, no one was killed. I just had a headache at that time." Chen Bowen said.
What a shame, I hurt a main character and the crew will be shut down for a long time, which is not good at all.
Every day of shutdown costs hundreds of thousands, and the crew simply cannot bear it if it goes on for a long time.
However, this was an accident, and I don’t know if it was instigated by someone.
The two perpetrators caught were just minors. Even if their parents compensated, how much compensation could they pay?
How to calculate the lost time and money? These are all questions.
"The trouble now is that many media reporters have learned about this matter and are clamoring for interviews.
Bowen and I have temporarily issued a hush order to the crew, but I'm afraid it won't last long." Liu Hao talked about another trouble.
This is the most difficult thing to deal with. Everyone here knows the reporter's urinary nature. The dead can be said to be alive, and the black can be said to be white.
So the room was filled with smoke again, so much so that assistant Tang Qianxi couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.
Zhang Hao thought for a long time and finally decided: "We cannot allow the media to speculate at will, otherwise we will be too passive. We will directly hold a press conference to explain the accident, and I will attend in person."
Zhang Hao is the boss of the crew. When he made this decision, everyone was relieved of the pressure.
Liu Hao stopped him: "The press conference is okay, but you can't attend."
"I'm afraid the media won't give up without someone with enough weight to speak out," Zhang Hao said.
Chen Bowen volunteered: "Let me do it. I am the second producer of the crew. What I say will be more effective."
"Well, we should also contact the media here and pay attention to the direction of online public opinion, Sissi..."
"Here comes the director..."
"Pay attention to the reaction on the Internet, and step down to criticize if necessary." Zhang Hao ordered.
Tang Qianqian quickly made a note and went to contact the navy to monitor online public opinion.
Zhang Hao continued: "Brother Hao, say hello to China Film Bona and Huayi, and ask them to pay attention to the media and don't have any negative reports."
"Okay, I'll call them again to communicate with them."
Liu Hao has already told China Film Group Corporation before, and he will emphasize it again this time.
"The lead actor is injured, and the filming of the crew will be suspended for a period of time. The necessary caretakers will be left behind, and the others will be on vacation until I come back from South Korea."
Zhang Hao made arrangements, and his subordinates went down to make arrangements.
Guo Fan walked up to Zhang Hao with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, director, I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
Zhang Hao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, no one expected this, I can't blame you, don't feel any psychological burden."
"I still feel very sorry. You left the crew to me, but I caused such a big incident." Guo Fan blamed himself.
"Did someone say something down there?" Zhang Hao asked.
Guo Fan hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is a saying that I am a broom star."
Working on a film crew usually involves a bit of superstitious tradition. This custom was brought by directors from Hong Kong who came north.
And such a big thing happened when Guo Fan was in charge of the crew. People with superstitions would think it was Guo Fan's fault and put the blame on Guo Fan.
Zhang Hao patted Guo Fan on the shoulder and said: "What a broom star, we are materialists and don't listen to such things as feudal superstition.
This is just an accident, don't think too much about it, after a while, everyone will see your work ability and forget about this trivial matter."
Guo Fan was obviously not in a high mood. He nodded without saying anything and went down to do some work.
Soon, a statement was made on the official Weibo of Haotian Studio:
"During a filming the day before yesterday, due to an accident, the lead actor Mr. Huang Xiaoming and a photographer were injured and hospitalized. The crew of "The Magic" will continue to pay attention to the injuries and wish them a speedy recovery."
There was no explanation on Weibo about how he was injured, but there was a photo of Huang Xiaoming lying on a hospital bed with Deng Chao.
There is also a photo of Wu Jiang after the operation. Wu Jiang gave a thumbs up, indicating that the operation was successful.
Shortly after it was posted on Weibo, Chen Bowen gave an explanation on behalf of the crew and roughly told the media present some details of the accident.
Because this timely response did not leave any room for media reporters to make assumptions, although subsequent media reports were exaggerated, they were generally within control.
Just because of an accident, the crew of "The Prestige" was the first in China to respond so actively and deal with public relations in a timely manner.
The reaction of netizens afterwards was also within the predicted range. Huang Xiaoming's fans were concerned about his injury, and netizens watched it in amusement.
A kind-hearted person left a message on Weibo, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
The timely public relations handling did not leave the crew in a passive state.
This wave of public relations response was noticed by many other domestic production crews, and they also learned this public relations response method.
In fact, it was normal for the crew to get injured during filming in the past. When Gao Xixi was filming "New Three Kingdoms", it was said that several extras were left behind.
But this matter was suppressed by the producers, and the media did not report it on a large scale.
Therefore, some people in the industry think that Zhang Hao is unnecessary and there is no need to make such a fuss.
Zhang Hao thinks that there is nothing wrong with him being so cautious. You have to know that it is normal for some people to want him to die early and to cause trouble for him.
If you don't respond proactively and let the other party seize the matter to hype it up, you will be in a passive situation.
Facts have proved that Zhang Hao's guess was correct.
This carriage accident was really not caused by someone arranged by Chen Gege.
No matter how crazy he is, he still can't do something that is already a crime.
You know, if it is not controlled well, it will cost two lives, one of which will be a first-line star, and the social impact will be great.
Due to social pressure, the police will definitely investigate this matter strictly.
In order to cause some trouble for Zhang Hao, he got himself involved. This deal is not worth it.
Later, I heard that something happened to Zhang Hao's crew, and Chen Gege really planned to use this matter to hype up the situation. It was disgusting and disgusting to Zhang Hao.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao and the crew of "The Prestige" reacted quickly, carried out crisis public relations very quickly, and controlled the direction of public opinion.
When Chen Gege took a look at it, forget it if there was no chance. The most important job at the moment was "The Orphan of Zhao".
If you want to deal with Zhang Hao, you must first be tough yourself. This movie cannot fail, and at least it must make money.
"Dove, good news, the pre-sale of overseas rights was a great success, with a total of 15 million US dollars sold."
While he was thinking about it, Mrs. Chen Gege happily ran over to tell Chen Gege the news.
Chen Gege raised his eyebrows: "Really? Is it that high?"
"It's true. We are still in contact after that. It is expected to sell for 20 million US dollars. With the domestic box office, we can make a lot of money." Mrs. Chen Gezi was very excited.
Chen Gege couldn't hide his joy. Among all the news about Zhang Hao, this was the rare good news he heard recently.
The production cost of "Zhao Orphans" was 75 million RMB. Except for the 30 million spent to build a Zhao family orphan city, the rest of the remuneration for the cast and crew was not much.
With Chen Gege's reputation, big names such as Uncle Ge and Fan Binbing were willing to reduce their salaries.
If it were Zhang Hao who had not been paid enough, people would not have accepted his film.
This is understandable, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to accept films from top international directors.
The income from the film can be supplemented by those who are inferior to the crew, or by accepting advertisements, but films by great directors are very rare opportunities.
Happy to make money from "The Orphan of Zhao", Mrs. Chen Gezi also asked tentatively: "Gege, something happened to Zhang Hao's crew, do you know?"
"I know, there's a lot of quarrel on the Internet!" Chen Gege replied.
"Then tell me, should we..."
Mrs. Chen Gege was interrupted before she could finish her words: "Forget it, they responded very promptly and very well. We have no chance."
"Oh, forget it." Mrs. Chen Gege looked at Chen Gege's back, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
After handling this matter, Zhang Hao was ready to leave for South Korea.
There is no way, he actually doesn't want to go, but this is a mission, and what he goes out to represent is not him, but the entire Chinese film industry.
This task was given to him by the Third Master, and it was a task that must be completed.
The Third Master also listened to Zhang Hao on the phone explaining the reasons for the accident on the crew. Although two people were injured and a camera was broken, no one died after all, so it was easy.
The third master also knew about the conflict between Zhang Hao and Chen Gezi. Although it would not end well due to his status, he also knew that Chen Gezi would make a fuss about it if the matter was not handled properly.
"I've already said hello to the media and tried my best to report in a positive direction. You handled it well." Third Master praised Zhang Hao.
"Thank you, Uncle Han." Zhang Hao thought about it and said, "I have already communicated this matter with the police. I hope they can continue to find out the truth of the matter."
"What? Didn't you say it was an accident?"
"I hope it's an accident, but there are too many doubts. Uncle Han, as you know, my specialty is suspense.
I always feel that this matter is not that simple, or I think the other party has a bottom line." Zhang Hao expressed his thoughts.
The third master pondered for a moment, and then said after a long time: "Okay, let's continue the investigation. If it is really they who did it, then let's get it done."
Instigating behind the scenes and creating accidents, Zhang Hao felt that he was not in the entertainment industry, but in the world of "Cyclonus".
Could it be that that person is strategizing now, holding "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, looking at his photo, and planning his next move?
The next step is to hire a murderer to kill people. If you can't beat yourself, will you physically destroy yourself?
Read Sun Tzu's Art of War and taste Qiqiang's life?
The entertainment industry is full of darkness, but Zhang Hao never thought that one day a criminal offense would happen to him.
And there is no airtight wall in this world. As long as you do it, people will know about it sooner or later.
Could it be that the other party was desperate for his life and wanted to do such a thing and die with him?
This is not a fantasy world like a fairy tale where you can enjoy grudges and grudges without worrying about the so-called legal sanctions.
You talk about keeping a mistress, an actress with unspoken rules, etc. That means you are morally criticized, and at most it is illegal, so that's it.
However, for criminal offenses, even a big brother would probably have to bear the responsibility and then abscond abroad.
Of course, people are not that stupid.
Let's have fun, let's make trouble, there will still be a bottom line that everyone will abide by by default.
If there is no bottom line, it can only be said that this world is too scary.
Zhang Hao can only say to this, everyone should do their own thing!
I asked the police uncle to investigate the suspicion as soon as possible. Zhang Hao also asked his good friend Ma Qiang to ask a private detective to continue the investigation.
If some evidence could be found, those people would have nothing to worry about.
After dealing with this matter and arranging work for the crew, Zhang Hao set off for South Korea to join Da Mi Mi to participate in this Blue Dragon Award.
