Chapter seven hundred and eighty third golden rooster is powerless
The Chinese film industry has three gold medals, the Golden Rooster, the Golden Statue, and the Golden Horse, which are known as the three China Entertainment Film Awards. There are also three awards in the mainland film industry: the Huabiao, the Golden Rooster, and the Hundred Flowers Awards.
As the saying goes, the golden rooster is powerless and the flowers are withered, the flying water eagle has bird flu, and the magnolia cannot bloom and the surface is rusty...
Of course, this is a joke from netizens...
Among these awards, the Golden Horse Award is undoubtedly the highest in terms of influence and performance.
During the heyday of Xiangjiang, a large number of Xiangjiang stars became popular throughout Southeast Asia, and the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards was once greater than that of the Golden Horse.
However, the Hong Kong Film Awards are too regional. It would have been better when Hong Kong Films were not in decline. After all, there are so many films.
But nowadays, there aren’t many movies in Hong Kong, and those people’s movies are still the ones that get the most reviews.
The Golden Horse Awards for all Chinese-language films have naturally become the most important awards in the country.
There are also many mainland films and Hong Kong films nominated and winning awards every year. If all of them were given to Baodao Films, they would be as popular as the Hong Kong Film Awards. After all, Baodao only produces about forty films every year, and
Seven or eight years ago, there were only about 20 people a year.
With such a small output, not only can it not support the Baodao Film Market, but it can also not support the Golden Horse Awards, which has nearly 20 awards. Even if each film is nominated for two or three, the nominations are not enough.
It is precisely because of its strong inclusiveness that both mainland films and Hong Kong films can participate, that it has become the most influential film festival in China today.
Otherwise, if only Baodao films were included in the competition, most of the films would have never been heard of, and no one would pay attention to them.
Although the influence of the Golden Horse Awards is slowly declining now, it is still the most influential award in China. Except for the incident in 2006, no one in the mainland has ever said that they will never participate.
Even though Leslie Cheung was humiliated at the Golden Horse Awards, he did not publicly announce that he would never participate in the competition. He just stopped attending the Golden Horse Awards ceremony from then on.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor for his role in "Happy Days". At the awards ceremony that year, Qin Han and Liu Luoying were the award guests and sang a double act on stage to satirize Leslie Cheung's homosexuality.
Qin Han said this: A senior actor like me has been acting for decades, but I can't act in "Happy Together," which tells a love story between men.
Liu Luoying, who was standing next to me, echoed that I did the same, but the lesbian movie "Beauty Is Singing" released on September 12, 1997 starred Liu Luoying.
At that time, the camera kept showing Zhang Guorong in the audience. He was very calm throughout the whole process, smiling as he watched them perform on stage. But since then, he has never been to the Golden Horse Awards again.
Moreover, the organizing committee’s explanation for Zhang Guorong’s failure to win the award was that he only performed his true self in “Happy Together.”
It's a true performance, and the meaning is very clear.
No mainland star has refused to attend the Golden Horse Awards, and no one has ever criticized the Golden Horse Awards. That is, Huang Bo criticized Cai Kangyong at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony last year.
It was the first time that Tang An announced on Weibo that he would never participate in the Golden Horse Awards, which made the incident even more popular.
Especially after two movies, several actors and screenwriters announced their withdrawal from the selection of this year's Golden Horse Awards, which caused the matter to explode on Weibo.
"Damn it, Tang An really wants to block the Golden Horse Awards!"
"It's awesome, so many people quit the Golden Horse Awards!"
"I took a note and found that there were about sixteen awards. They all gave up nominations. Tang An's influence is really great!"
"Haha, what else can I say about the Golden Horse Awards now? Didn't I brag about not liking Tang An's movies at first? Now so many people don't like the Golden Horse Awards and won't participate."
"The Golden Horse Award seems to have been silent all this time. Now his face is probably swollen and he doesn't dare to speak anymore!"
"They deserve it. Let them play behind closed doors. Baodao only makes thirty or forty movies a year, and they get so many nominations and awards. Let them enjoy themselves!"
...
Winners of sixteen nominations have announced their withdrawal one after another, and before that Tang An said he would never participate in the Golden Horse Awards. Even ordinary netizens know that this is Tang An's push back.
Although he is a bit overbearing, if it had been anyone else, he might have been criticized.
But Tang An's reputation has always been very good, and even among domestic directors, no one can compare to him in terms of reputation and audience popularity.
Moreover, this is the fault of the Golden Horse Awards itself. If it had not happened before, it would not be so one-sided.
Not only the Internet, but also the industry was shocked. After all, Tang An was boycotting the most influential award in the country.
Many people who nominated me are wondering whether they should flatter Tang An and leave a good impression on Tang An.
But I still gave up this idea, they are not like the people under Tang An's banner.
Ning Hao signed a five-year directing contract with Forbidden City Media, a subsidiary of Han and Tang Dynasty, and is the second largest shareholder along with Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng. He is one of Tang An's own people, unlike outsiders like them.
...
In Baodao, the Executive Committee of the Golden Horse Film Festival is also troubled by this matter.
In a conference hall, the director of the Baodao Film Foundation, Zhang Aijia, chairman of the film festival executive committee, executive members Li Hang, Hou Xiaoxian, Yang Guimei, Hu Zhongguang, Li Yuan, Chen Kexin, Zeng Lifen and others were present.
Everyone's expressions were not very good. After all, the nominations had just been announced and sixteen nominees had abstained.
And they still deliberately boycotted it, which is simply a slap in the face of the Golden Horse Awards.
"That's so arrogant. He doesn't take our Golden Horse Awards seriously at all!"
Director Li of the Film Foundation, who was also Section Chief Li of the Information Bureau who had met Tang An, slapped his hand directly on the table, his face full of anger.
When he was slighted at Tang Anna, Director Li thought about getting a chance to take revenge.
However, although he was dominating the entertainment industry in Baodao, Tang An had no influence at all in the mainland.
Moreover, after that, artists under Hantang Media almost stopped coming to Treasure Island.
The box office in the Baodao area was irrelevant to the mainland. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that there was nothing I could do against Tang An.
I originally planned to do something about the Golden Horse Awards so that Tang An would get nothing, but I didn't expect that Tang An wouldn't sign up at all this time.
Just when he had been holding it in for more than two months and had nowhere to vent, there was a discussion on the Internet about the fact that "Secret Superstar" had not received a single nomination, and he immediately saw an opportunity.
That's why I posted that Weibo post, saying that movies that disparage Tang An will not be recognized by the Golden Horse Awards.
The subsequent deletion of Weibo was also related to him. Baodao’s influence was deeply rooted in Xinlang and they were very united. It was easy to delete Weibo.
As long as Weibo can control the comments for a period of time, even if the truth comes out by then, it will be too late.
In the past, Cao Guowei would turn a blind eye to similar things, but he didn't expect that Cao Guowei would be so tough this time.
Weibo started to control the comments, but it was just helping Tang An control the comments, and the Golden Horse Awards became the villain.
However, Director Li is not worried. Netizens are the most forgetful, and no award from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can threaten the status of the Golden Horse Awards.
However, this matter still started because of Director Li. Even if he got into trouble, he still maintained a tough attitude and would figure out how to regain his position later.
No one at the scene blamed Director Li, the source of the incident, but most of the Baodao Film People's Congress present were scolding Tang An.
80% of Baodao's entertainment industry is independent, and less than 20% is unification, let alone red unification, which is very few.
Especially the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Era are all the same.
As for people from Xiangjiang like Chen Kexin, they just watch the excitement on the side, and they will not participate in it anyway.
"It's so arrogant. No one has dared to do this in so many years!"
"Since he wants to block our Golden Horse Awards, then we should also block all the movies invested by Hantang Media and the stars of Hantang!"
"Yes, ban the Han and Tang media, not only the Golden Horse Awards, but also replace all the advertisements of several big brands!"
...
Some new-generation filmmakers threatened to block Han and Tang Media, and used all their connections to replace the big-name endorsements of several Han and Tang stars.
However, Tang An has already banned it in advance, and there is no telling whether his company's films and artists will participate in the competition in the future.
As for endorsements, it is true that many senior executives of international brands in the Greater China region are from Xiangjiang and Baodao, but changing spokespersons for no reason is much more difficult than asking one of your own to take over the endorsements.
Finally, after a lot of talk, I still have to make a statement about the large-scale withdrawal.
Of course, it would be impossible to compete with Tang An. After all, we no longer have the advantage of Weibo as the main battlefield.
Basically, it is an official statement expressing regret for the filmmakers who have withdrawn from the competition and welcoming them to participate next time.
But after something like this happened, we still had to build momentum for the Golden Horse Awards and invite an actor with enough weight to come over.
After recalling the nomination list, Director Li asked Zhang Aijia, "Isn't Gong Li nominated this year? Will she come?"
Zhang Aijia shook her head, "Probably not, she has never been here before."
She didn't say why, but everyone knew it.
Gong Li has not been nominated for a Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in so many years, and now she is participating in the three major European film festivals. She was a judge of the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival more than ten years ago. The Golden Horse is still a bit worse than the three major European film festivals.
.
Director Li thought for a while and said, "Then invite her over. In addition, I will let the media report on her more."
It was obvious that while inviting Gong Li, who never attended the Golden Horse Awards, and at the same time instigating her own media to report it, she was clearly showing her good intentions and hinted that she would be given the best actress once she came.
Gong Li has won the Golden Rooster, Hundred Blossoms, and Golden Image Queen, but she is only one short of the Golden Horse Best Actress. Even if her status is high enough, it is difficult to resist the temptation of the Grand Slam.
After all, what you can't get is what you want most. If Gong Li has already won the Golden Horse Award, Director Li is not sure whether Gong Li will come.
As for whether the actress will give it to Gong Li after she comes, that's another matter.
Since she didn't personally guarantee it, she would have no choice but to suffer a loss.
Zhang Aijia heard that Director Li wanted to appoint Gong Li as the best actress, so she didn't think much about it and agreed to invite her.
After all, Gong Li's performance in "The Return" goes without saying that she is definitely worthy of being named the Best Actress this year.
As for the unofficial decision, I have long been accustomed to it, but I just didn't say it directly.
Otherwise, given that the annual film output of Baodao is only one-tenth of the mainland, why are there so few nominations and awards?
