In September, after more than half a year of discussions, Baihua Award officially released a restructuring statement.
First, the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award will be independent from now on, and separate organizing committees will be organized, with the full name being [Hundred Flowers Award for Chinese Popular Films].
Second, the Hundred Flowers Award will be held once every two years instead of once every two years in the past. The awarding time will be from January to February every year, probably around the Spring Festival.
The original plan was that this year's 32nd Hundred Flowers Awards should be held in September, but due to the restructuring, it has been moved to February 4 next year.
The film selection range is all eligible films from October 2012 to the end of 2014.
When the Hundred Flowers Awards were held at the beginning of 2016, the film selection range was from 2015. Since then, this rule has been followed, and the films of the previous year will be awarded at the beginning of the following year.
Because of this special situation, the competition for the 32nd Hundred Flowers Awards, which will be restructured next year, will be extremely fierce, even cruel.
Third, the film awards have not changed much from the previous year.
The main two categories are still divided into two categories, the Actor Award [Best Male and Female Leading Role, Male and Female Supporting Role, Newcomer], and the behind-the-scenes award [Best Film, Director, Screenwriter], there is a new one [Annual Box Office Champion Movie]
This award is basically a prestigious award, and is awarded to the box office champion of the previous year (regardless of Chinese and imported films).
This award is mainly to stimulate and invigorate the film market in the official name, and to increase the commercial atmosphere of the Hundred Flowers Awards, so imported films are also included as an exception.
In fact, Cao Xuan wants to make one of the "Top Ten Movies of the Year" in one fell swoop, with a huge momentum.
But later I discovered that from a pure box office perspective, the ten films are likely to be mixed, and a comprehensive evaluation of word-of-mouth + box office is likely to cause controversy, and it would also conflict with the "Best Picture".
Simply come up with [the annual box office champion movie], which is mainly for encouragement and recognition. Although it may be a bit tasteless, it is still an honor after all.
And Cao Xuan, the top ten method of the year, was not wasted and was reserved for the Tianlai Award.
Compared with movies, which produce at least thousands of songs every year, it is extremely difficult to select the best song of the year. Forced selection will also bury some high-quality treasure songs to a certain extent.
As a singer, Cao Xuan understands this very well.
For example, in his Fengshen album "Bright Stars", who can tell who wins and who loses among the two songs "Ten Years" and "The Wind Rises", while other singers' "Later", "Dark Days", "Courage" and so on in the same year
What’s the difference between the most popular songs throughout the year?
Although there are some suspicions that the pork is divided into pieces, Cao Xuan feels that if it can be properly controlled, the gold content will not be bad.
Xiangjiang's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards are not as popular in Asia as they were back then. Countless kings and queens are even proud of who wins the top ten of the year.
Although the Grammys have four major categories of the same category [Best Single], in fact, the number of sub-category awards for best dance, pop, rock, jazz and other songs is more than the so-called top ten of the year.
A different kind of pork.
If the Tianlai Awards canceled all other so-called detailed awards and only rated the top ten awards, it would be more straightforward and convincing.
Talking about the Hundred Flowers Award, the above three are the main restructuring measures, and there are some other provisions that are minor improvements.
After all, without substantial testing, Cao Xuan and others are not sure that their idea will definitely win awards. There are many examples of good intentions leading to bad things.
As an award that has been held for more than 30 years, the Hundred Flowers Award still has merits. Cao Xuan and the others are not reinventing the wheel but trying to bring order to the chaos and get rid of the bad and keep the good.
Therefore, Cao Xuan and others only made targeted changes to several directions of the Hundred Flowers Award. In other aspects, they still have to wait and see the effects and make adjustments slowly.
The most important thing is to ensure the credibility of the award and expand its influence!
As long as these two points can be achieved, Cao Xuan is confident that the Hundred Flowers Award will catch up with the three gold medals in some aspects within five years, or even surpass it.
The restructuring of the Hundred Flowers Award has caused some discussion, but after all, it has not been implemented yet, and the general attitude of the outside world is still to wait and see.
It’s not like no one has reformed the system in the past, but the slogans were so loud that the actual results were just that.
.
If it weren't for Master Cao Xuan and his disciples waving flags and shouting, probably not many people would pay attention.
There are so many awards for Chinese films, including Three Gold Medals, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao, Changchun, University Student Film Festival, Directors Guild, Magic City Film Festival, Beijing Film Festival, and other miscellaneous awards that ordinary people can’t tell them apart.
Only when you really make achievements, let the awards break out of the crowd, and establish widespread influence and gold content, is the time to talk about merit and praise.
This is true whether it is flowers, golden roosters, or the temporary sounds of nature.
Cao Xuan understood this very well and was not anxious about temporary gains and losses. He was prepared for a protracted war.
If it doesn't take five years, it will take ten years. If it doesn't take ten years, then it will take fifteen or twenty years. Cao Xuan is not yet forty years old now, so he has plenty of time to look after and supervise these awards.
………
In September, the "Dear" movie was officially released, with a final box office of 1.419 billion.
It is currently ranked second behind "Transformers 4" and ranked second this year.
It is worth mentioning that after three months of release, "Transformers 4" finally successfully exceeded 2 billion in box office, making it the only movie in mainland film history with a box office of more than 2 billion.
Although "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Mr. Xu unfortunately failed to break through 1 billion, it still reached 950 million.
The cumulative box office of the three movies reached nearly 4.5 billion. Together with other movies, the summer season of 2014 was particularly brilliant.
Although Fanxing failed to surpass "Transformers 4" in a single movie, the other two movies were produced by it and the cumulative box office is still the highest in the summer, and it has not lost its reputation as the "King of Summer".
Boss Cao rented a hotel, held a banquet, and rewarded people based on their merits.
He has made a lot of money in the past few months. "Dear" is independently produced by Fanxing, and the cost is low. Putting aside taxes, donations and other items, the net profit is at least over 400 million+.
This is only the producer's income. As the largest distributor of movies and an important theater chain in the industry, Cao Xuan is expected to earn at least another 150 million.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" Fanxing is only the main control, with a share of only 50%. The revenue from production + distribution + theaters is about 200 to 250 million.
Cao Xuan was relatively calm about this. What was jumping was just the numbers of bank projects. Money did not mean everything.
Not to mention 800 million, what if he earns 8 billion in one summer vacation?
The national football team still can’t make it to the World Cup!
After the celebration party, Cao Xuan did not continue to rest and flew directly to the United States to film "Avengers 2".
Although Hawkeye added a certain amount of scenes in "Avengers 2", the overall difference is not much different from the original version. It still tells the story of Vision.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Xuan met the actress who plays Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth Olsen.
In the later period, this actress, who could compete with her widowed sister for male fans and was affectionately called "Ome" by Marvel fans, was indeed a beauty, and she had both a childish and mature temperament.
It is hard to imagine that such contradictory temperaments are mixed in one person at the same time.
But Aomei's eyebrows are indeed a bit pure and green, but her body is hot and her appearance is mature. She is not a child-like face, but she has the same purpose.
Aomei can be considered a child star. She has a pair of twin sisters who are several years older than her. They are very famous twin child stars in the United States and have worked as singers, models and fashion designers.
Not only is he famous, but he can also make money. He became the president of an entertainment company at the age of 18, owns his own brand and company, and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars at a young age.
If it were not for the famous Kardashian family, the Olsen sisters could compete to be the most famous biological sisters in the United States.
Cao Xuan had met Aomei's two sisters at a cocktail party before, and they were both beautiful.
Big eyes, blond hair and wavy hair, and they were twin sisters. If things hadn't happened and they couldn't leave at that time, Cao Xuan might have had two more people in his list.
As for O Mei, she is far less successful than her two sisters.
He made his official debut in 2011. The few movies he participated in were horror and thriller movies with average budgets. Last year
I just participated in a blockbuster movie——"Godzilla".
However, everyone can understand this kind of movie. The audience's attention is primarily on the monsters, and the actors can only do that.
Fortunately, she was recognized by Marvel, successfully participated in "Avengers 2", and got the relatively important role of Scarlet Witch.
Cao Xuan strongly doubted that she could get this role, probably because of her two sisters and her family.
But this has nothing to do with him. There is a beautiful woman in the group, and she is also eye-catching during filming. As for the actors who play Ultron and Quicksilver, they are both men, so Cao Xuan doesn't care much.
The relationship between the original six-person Marvel team was pretty good.
Cao Xuan does not film as many movies as others, and he does not work and live in the United States. His private communication is limited, but because of his status and reputation, others intend to have a good relationship with him, and he has become the core of the team. Even Robert Downey Jr. vaguely feels that
He comes first.
This is also normal. No matter how popular Iron Man is in Marvel, it is still not as important as Marvel shareholders + super rich people.
Not to mention those directors and producers, even Disney's bosses and shareholders, they all talked and laughed with Cao Xuan. If he is not the boss, who would dare to take the lead?
However, Cao Xuan himself is still very low-key, and he is never domineering in his dealings with others. Everyone gets along very happily.
Even during the interview, O'Mei didn't know whether she was flattering or sincere. She praised Cao Xuan's affability and said he was the most friendly and friendly big name she had ever worked with.
Cao Xuan was very satisfied with her compliment, but he was also a little bit dumbfounded.
There are a lot of big names in "Avengers 2". If Omei said this, wouldn't it involve other people?
Fortunately, everyone knew that she was a newcomer and didn't have much experience in the city. They sighed casually and didn't take it to heart.
The main reason is that Cao Xuan is here. If they are looking for trouble, wouldn't they think that what Aomei said is wrong?
Cao is not a generous person!
If Cao Xuan knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely be furious and would have to find out which bastard ruined his reputation and repair it severely.
He, the official Cao Cao, has always been open-minded and magnanimous to the outside world. How can you think that he is small-minded based on his hundreds of millions of deeds...
