Li Qian's seven short words, as soon as he uttered them, added to the fire.
Ma Xiaogang, the person involved, can only say that it was because the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" was too high that Xu Fan did not win the Best Actress Award.
This is the case in most places around the world. High box office does not play a big role in winning awards for movies. Sometimes films with high box office are more likely to be ignored by critics. They prefer to give awards to niche audiences with low box office and good reputation.
Film.
As for the films that won the Golden Horse Awards, quite a few of them had no reputation at all. Not many people had seen them, and not all of them had positive reviews.
This is also the point where the Golden Horse Awards are criticized by mainland movie fans. Even bad movies can win awards, and it cannot be justified no matter what.
The cause of the turmoil was that Wang Xueqi and Xu Fan were both eliminated, and an idol actor won the best actor award. Wang Xueqi and Ma Xiaogang didn't say anything.
No, Ma Xiaogang mocked the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards jury for being unprofessional.
It doesn't matter that Li Qian mentioned it again during the interview, which still made the industry feel strange.
However, for mainland actors and directors, the Golden Horse Award is the most important award when the three major European awards cannot be won. It can be said that they love and hate it.
I'm unhappy with the Golden Horse Awards' bias against mainland filmmakers, but I don't dare to say anything. I can only hide it in my heart. I'm still looking forward to being nominated or even winning an award.
Li Qian's direct sentence "No need, just play by yourself" expressed their feelings.
There is another director in China who has never signed up for the Golden Horse Awards, and that is Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou, who was preparing "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in Jinling, didn't hear anything outside the window, but he also heard about it from Zhang Weiping.
"This Li Qian is completely insulated from the Golden Horse Awards."
Speaking of which, Zhang Weiping was a little gloating. Although he did not win the Golden Horse Award, it is the most important award in the country after all. Only Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige can ignore it. After all, they have already won international awards.
Zhang Yimou just shook his head, "It's a bit extreme."
Having been in the industry for so many years, Zhang Yimou also knows the virtues of the Golden Horse Awards, and most Baodao filmmakers are just pissed.
However, the Mainland's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are indeed not as important as the Golden Horse. Until there is no film festival that can win, we still have to be tolerant towards the Golden Horse Awards.
Zhang Weiping sneered and said, "I don't know which tendon is wrong. Sooner or later, he will be rewarded."
If you interfere in something that obviously has nothing to do with Li Qian, if you are so fond of looking for trouble, sooner or later you will fall into a big fight.
In this way, Zhang Weiping is relieved. Zhang Yimou has been declining in recent years, and Li Qian has risen too fast. He may threaten Zhang Yimou's status in a few years.
It's good now. Li Qian won't win the Golden Horse Award. Depending on the type of his shooting, he won't win the international award. Even if he wins a few more Golden Roosters and Hundred Flowers from the Mainland, it will be useless.
There is no big prize nearby, just selling box office is not a threat to Zhang Yimou.
Besides, Zhang Yimou can also win box office. This war blockbuster is not comparable to "Three Guns".
I lost a lot of face last year, but as long as I have Zhang Yimou as my trump card, I have nothing to be afraid of. I was fine even if I beat Han Sanping last year.
...
Ning Hao, one of the two mainland judges for this year's Golden Horse Awards, has also been very annoyed by the Golden Horse Awards these days.
"Leizi, Director Li's character has always been so...rigid?"
While chatting about the role with the newly confirmed movie actor, Ning Hao asked Lei Jiayin curiously when he was free.
Regarding the Golden Horse Awards, filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places all know what’s going on.
However, Ning Hao was very happy to be invited to serve as a judge. He felt that this was an opportunity. At least he had the right to speak.
As long as more and more mainland filmmakers have a say in the Golden Horse Awards, the status quo will slowly change.
In fact, compared to him and Zhang Yuan, Li Qian is more qualified to be a judge of the Golden Horse Awards. Although he made commercial films, the three films are very deep.
But now, I don’t know what happened, but Li Qian expressed his dissatisfaction for no reason about something that had nothing to do with him.
This time, I'm afraid it won't end well, and Ning Hao felt a little pity.
"Well, he...I...he..."
Lei Jiayin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, "Director Li has a very good personality. He is very approachable and kind. He basically never loses his temper on set."
Which director doesn't lose his temper on set?
Ning Hao shook his head. He was the director himself. Don't you understand? No matter how good-tempered a person is, it is impossible not to lose his temper for half a year when he arrives on the set. Even a good person can't help it.
This Lei Jiayin was so timid, they were the only two, and they didn't say anything bad, so they didn't dare to say anything. It was obvious that they were frightened by Li Qian.
Seeing that Ning Hao didn't believe it, Lei Jiayin explained, "I have only filmed two films directed by Li, and I was a guest star in "Frequency of Life and Death". I stayed on the set for more than half a month, and the filming progressed very quickly and went very smoothly.
There are basically no jams.”
I won’t go any further, I have to stay under Ning Hao for more than half a year.
This means that if the filming does not go well, the director will easily lose his temper. Li Qian shoots very quickly and goes very smoothly, so he is in a good mood and does not lose his temper.
"Okay then, I'll talk to Director Li more when I have time."
Ning Hao smiled and said, "It's impossible to not get stuck in filming. It's not just a director's level."
However, Li Qian did film very quickly. He prepared it at the beginning of the year and released it at the end of the year. The effect was simply unsatisfactory.
He himself started preparing for a new film last month, and it will be difficult to release it at the end of next year.
Ning Hao, who is also a new generation director, has not met Li Qian yet and plans to meet him at some event to learn from him.
...
The fewer the words, the more exciting it is. The short seven words made netizens excited.
"This is really tough, really tough!"
"Go and play by yourself. What Li Qian said is so right. Since the Golden Horse Awards discriminates against mainland films, it's better to close the door and play by yourself. Without mainland movies, we'll see when they become less popular."
"I really thought it was just a few years ago. There are more and more movies in China. Every year there are movies that have double box office and word-of-mouth hits. They also give awards to some movies that I have never heard of."
"The Chairman is still acting so weird. I didn't expect Li Qian to be so tough, haha!"
"To be honest, each of Li Qian's three films is much better than the films that won awards. In recent years, the Golden Horse Award has included such a classic film as "A Perfect World"? Even the literary youths on Douban can't say anything.
, the rating has increased to 8.8.”
.....
Li Qian, who has a better reputation among the audience, has much more useful words than Ma Xiaogang. They basically support him overwhelmingly, although I don't know what grudge Li Qian has against the Golden Horse Awards.
People in the industry were a little confused. Ma Xiaogang was originally at odds with the Golden Horse Awards, but why did Li Qian join again? What was going on?
"I have asked some people before, but they have never been in contact with him, but I heard that this Li Qian is crazy as hell. Who knows what is wrong with him?"
Li Qian had little contact with the mainland film industry, let alone the Baodao film industry. Chairman Huang called Wu Yusen, Li An and others who had been in the mainland, but they also knew nothing.
I have never seen him, so I can only tell you some rumors. The main point is that Li Qian has a bad temper.
Of course he knows that he has a bad temper, otherwise why would he attack them for no reason?
I did some research on Li Qian and looked at the voices on the Internet. It was completely different from before.
When Ma Xiaogang criticized them, many netizens spoke for the Golden Horse Awards.
But when Li Qian opened his mouth, everyone supported him, which was strange.
"It seems that Li Qian is unusual among mainland audiences."
After thinking about it for a while, Huang Jianye decided not to provoke Li Qian yet, since he didn't get angry anyway.
Young people, after they have won the box office and made money, it is time to pursue fame. If they are awarded the Best Director in two years, why not just come here obediently?
Even though Ma Xiaogang is making such a fuss, Huang Jianye has absolute confidence that by giving him the Best Director award in a few years, he will be able to stand up for the Golden Horse Awards.
The Golden Rooster Award is just an example. The Golden Horse Award is much more important than the Golden Rooster Award.
But this is all for the future. Now Ma Xiaogang's words are getting more and more extreme, and they must respond.
...
Not long after, Golden Horse Awards chairman Huang Jianye, several judges, Jiao Xiongping mentioned by Ma Xiaogang, and several Hong Kong directors all accepted interviews to refute Ma Xiaogang.
However, compared to Ma Xiaogang's extreme response, their response seemed watertight.
Jiao Xiongping, who was named, even praised Ma Xiaogang, saying that although she wasn't familiar with him, she thought his movies were pretty good.
First he would praise him, and then he would change the subject, but...
He stood on the moral high ground and didn't act like he was swearing. Looking at it this way, it seemed that Ma Xiaogang had lost his mind.
"Amazing."
Li Qian sighed secretly, but he was a little strange, why didn't he reply to him?
This was strange to him. Ma Xiaogang was a little confused. Why were they all facing him?
