After getting out of the car, after a period of commotion, order was maintained with the help of more than a dozen security guards.
"Director Chen Kaige said in an interview after the Golden Rooster Awards last night that "Partners in China" did not deserve to win the Best Feature Film Award. Director Tang, what do you think?"
A reporter asked the question first before everyone else. With more than a dozen strong security guards at the scene, order was much better.
Tang An smiled nonchalantly and said, "Every year, people who didn't win the award criticize the film festival for being unfair. This is not just once or twice. I can completely understand Director Chen's feeling of missing the award, and then he said it anxiously.
That’s what I said.”
Over the past few decades, there has been no award that has not been criticized, whether at home or abroad.
Everyone wants to win the prize, but there are too many people and not enough points.
Forget it like this, but later the Golden Horse Awards did something spectacular.
Once Gong Li was nominated for Best Actress for "The Return". Originally, based on her status at the time, she only received a Golden Horse Award.
After all, he has served as a judge at major European film festivals all year round, and a declining Golden Horse Award is nothing.
At that time, in order to invite Gong Li to participate, the organizing committee almost hinted that the actress would give it to her.
In addition, in order to build momentum for the Golden Horse Awards, which are about to take place in the near future, the organizers have been doing all kinds of publicity and building momentum. Everyone thinks that Gong Li will be crowned the winner without any suspense, and even the sponsor's celebration banquet is ready.
As a result, in the end, it was Baodao actor Chen Xiangqi who defeated Gong Li by just one vote to win the Best Actress crown.
If that's all it takes, it's okay. After all, they are chosen by people, so there will inevitably be dark horses.
It turned out that after the awards, Feng Delun, who was a judge, expressed his vote for Gong Li very generously.
Chen Cong, a member of the jury, also said that he admired Gong Li very much, and all three votes went to Gong Li.
Afterwards, the other six judges from the Mainland and Hong Kong regions all said that they voted for Gong Li, but Gong Li was still one vote short.
This means that the other nine judges from Baodao among the seventeen judges gave all their votes to Chen Xiangqi, which is one more vote than Gong Li.
The actress was given to a local actor whose reputation and acting skills were far inferior. Previously, the organizers used Gong Li's name to promote and build momentum.
Afterwards, Chen Xiangqi even expressed a little gloating: She must be very disappointed.
She couldn't bear it anymore, so Gong Li started to spray.
"It's like several boys confessing to a girl. Everyone thinks that the girl likes him. The person who failed to confess in the end must think that the successful boy used sweet words to deceive the girl."
Tang An then gave an example, which caused a burst of laughter.
Many reporters were slandering in their hearts. It seemed that Tang An didn't say anything sharp, but in fact they were all mocking Brother Chen Kai.
This was exactly what the reporters wanted to hear. Since Tang An was willing to speak, of course they were overjoyed and continued to ask.
"Director Chen said that "The Chinese Partner" won the award entirely because it won the box office championship, and it has no artistic quality. Director Tang, what do you think?"
Tang An knew that this was actually true. The Golden Rooster Award was uncharacteristically awarded to Feng Xiaogang. A large part of the reason was that Xinwen Network reported "Assembly Number".
Although the above said nothing, the people below naturally thought that this movie had received attention from above.
After all, "Partners in China" ranks first at the box office in film history. Tang An also co-directed "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", so it's not surprising that he won an award.
Most domestic awards are not based on whether the movie is good or the actors' acting skills, so Tang An doesn't think about winning awards.
That's the truth, but it can't be said like that.
"Actually, Director Chen was right. "The Chinese Partner" took in more than 420 million at the box office. The super high score proves that the vast majority of the audience likes this movie. I think the organizing committee also recognized this movie. That's why
I will be given the award for Best Feature Film."
Tang An doesn't care about the meaning, the meaning, or the connotation in the movie.
This was the first time the reporters had seen someone say this, and they were stunned for a while before continuing to ask.
"Director Tang, do you mean that "Mei Lanfang" is not as popular as "The Chinese Partner" by most viewers?"
This is not only inferior to "Mei Lanfang" in terms of awards, but it is also stepped on in other aspects!
"The data speaks for itself, including box office, ratings on major professional forums, number of reviews, number of visitors, frequency of discussions on Weibo, Tieba, forums and other platforms..."
"It is said that the historical drama "The Orphan of Zhao" directed by Chen Kaige is about to start filming and will be released in the Lunar New Year season next year. Director Chen once said that you only dare to stay in the summer season and dare not participate in the mainstream Lunar New Year season..."
These days, the Lunar New Year period is still the largest domestic box office period, and it is the most important major period. Even if there are Tang An and some Hollywood blockbusters in the summer period, it is still a little worse.
Before the reporter could finish speaking, Tang An became impatient after being surrounded for so long and interrupted him.
"I will be participating in the Lunar New Year movie next year, and the movie is tentatively scheduled to be released in early December. I hope Director Chen can make it on time!"
Tang An knew that all these invitations to fight were made up by reporters, and how stupid Chen Kai would be to say such a thing.
He is not stupid. The Lunar New Year festival is already very crowded, and another blockbuster movie will only cause more damage.
However, Tang An's several summer releases have almost always been based on Hollywood blockbusters, and the only domestic directors are Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.
The former is not considered a top director, and the latter has not proven himself in the mainland.
Brother Chen Kai has been on the altar since "Farewell My Concubine", but has not completely fallen down after "The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang"
Together with Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Tang An, these are the top four directors in China.
As long as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kai are killed head-on, he will be the undisputed number one director in the country!
There will be three movies in December next year during the Lunar New Year: "The Orphan of Zhao", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "If You Are the One 2", plus "Edge of Tomorrow", that's four!
Without Zhang Yimou, if "Three Guns" is released next year and Tang An kills the four major directors at once, it will be complete.
Originally, Jiang Wen was going to be on the throne next year with "Let the Bullets Fly", but just like before, he fell down quickly.
A group of people were gathered around here. Many office workers nearby were watching, and some were taking pictures. Tang An didn't want to continue to pester him, so he left a word and entered the building under the escort of security guards.
"The box office of next year's Lunar New Year film "Edge of Tomorrow" will be at least five times that of "The Orphan of Zhao"!"
The reporter was left with a dull look on his face. It was not until Tang An entered the building that he realized what he was doing and looked at each other in confusion.
"What does Tang An mean? Are you having a fight with Brother Chen Kai?"
"I guess you heard it right just now, is Tang An going to join the Lunar New Year war next year?"
"You really are facing off against Brother Chen Kai. Why are you so easily aroused this time?"
"Tang An, who has always been shy, actually responded positively. Originally, I didn't have much hope."
"The key point is the last sentence. He seems to have said that the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" will be five times that of "The Orphan of Zhao"?"
"Wait a minute, is "Edge of Tomorrow" the name of his new film? It sounds stylish!"
"It should be right, that's why the title of the film is gone!"
"Tang An is too arrogant. Even if it gets another 400 million at the box office, then "The Orphan of Zhao" won't even get 100 million!"
"Now there's something good to watch. Hurry up and find Brother Chen Kai to see how he responds!"
