Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 915

It seems that both Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei felt that Lin Daoqiu acquiesced in the fact that feature films won all the awards at the Academy Awards this time.

But when they were done talking, Tsui Hark seemed to disagree.

"Mr. Lin has not shown before that he has a special interest in literary films. I guess this time, such a situation may have nothing to do with Mr. Lin."

Hearing what Tsui Hark said, Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei immediately turned their heads to him.

However, the two of them didn't seem to agree with Tsui Hark's statement, because they both had puzzled expressions on their faces at this time.

If it is said that this year's Golden Statue Awards, there is no human factor in the occurrence of such a situation, Shi Tian and the others absolutely do not believe it.

But if it is said that the manipulator is not Lin Daoqiu, but someone else, Shi Tian and the others don't believe it.

After all, the Golden Statue Award was created by Lin Daoqiu. How could he pass up such a good opportunity and give it up to others? This is simply a joke.

"Don't look at me like that. This is just my guess. I'm afraid only Mr. Lin knows the truth."

Shaking his head, Shi Tian did not agree with Tsui Hark's guess.

If it were him, he would have such a good opportunity to control the fate of the award, even if he didn't directly decide to award it to a certain movie, I'm afraid he would hint at the distribution ratio.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu and Jackie Chan were chatting on the other side.

""Police Story" is a very good movie. Although it didn't win the favor of the judges, in my opinion, this movie is definitely the best movie of last year."

Originally, at the beginning, Lin Daoqiu thought that "Police Story" would win at least one of the three best actor, best director, and best film.

But I didn't expect that the judges didn't even award "Police Story", which made Lin Daoqiu very dissatisfied.

"Thank you Mr. Lin. Actually, I also think that "Police Story" was shot very well. It's a pity that it didn't win the award, but I'm still very happy to get a good box office."

Although Jackie Chan said so, he would be very happy if he could get the award.

But because the Academy Awards have just been held for the first time, everyone's competition for awards is not so fierce.

So Jackie Chan was just a little regretful that "Police Story" failed to win the award, and he didn't have too many thoughts.

"Except for Qingxia's cameo, I hope that Aaron can at least maintain the rhythm of one drama for two years in Xiangjiang."

Lin Daoqiu never thought about asking Jackie Chan to make a movie every year, because that is obviously not realistic.

After all, when he signed him to New Oriental, he was talking about helping him develop in Hollywood.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I can guarantee this."

Jackie Chan hasn't thought about putting all his focus on Hollywood. After all, Xiangjiang is his foundation anyway, and he can't abandon it.

Lin Daoqiu is not worried that Jackie Chan will not be able to do it. With his ability, one drama a year is absolutely no problem.

At this time Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were walking towards Lin Daoqiu and the others.

At this time, Wen Jun was still holding the Golden Statue Award in his hand, and it seemed that he liked the award very much.

"Congratulations to Wenda screenwriter, the best screenwriter of the first Academy Award, this is also a famous name in history."

Seeing Wen Jun, Lin Daoqiu joked with a smile.

"Brother Qiu, don't say that. In terms of screenwriting skills, I am far behind you. I am really ashamed to be awarded the Best Screenplay Award at the Academy Awards."

Wen Jun is not talking about the scene, these are all his words from the bottom of his heart.

""Pretty Girl" is really well written, and that has nothing to do with me. You won't have any problem getting the best screenplay."

Lin Daoqiu waved his hand, causing Wen Jun to nod in embarrassment.

Jackie Chan had other entertainment, chatted with Lin Daoqiu for a few words and left.

After he left, Wen Jun opened his mouth to speak.

"Brother Qiu, in fact, before I came here, I heard a lot of people talking about it, saying that the Academy Awards seem to be unfriendly to commercial films."

Before coming to the hotel, Wen Jun heard many people talking about this topic.

Although "Pretty Girl" got very good results tonight, for Wen Jun, the complete victory of the feature film tonight does not seem to be a good thing for the Academy Awards.

""Running into the Raging Sea" and "Pretty Girl" won all the awards tonight, it's normal for others to say that."

Not only others, but even Lin Daoqiu felt that the Academy Awards must be reformed, otherwise, if this continues, the Academy Awards will only become farther and farther away from commercial films in the future.

Once the Academy Awards become a carnival for a single type of film, Lin Daoqiu would rather not do it than see such a situation happen.

"Brother Qiu, if the Academy Awards can't accommodate commercial films, I don't think it's a good thing."

Although Wen Jun can be said to be one of the biggest winners tonight, he is also worried about the future of the Academy Awards while he has won the sweetness.

"It's normal for you to worry, but the Academy Awards has just been held for the first time, and it is now in its infancy. It is normal for me to have some problems."

"Brother Qiu, I think that if the Academy Awards are to be reformed, we still have to start with the judges."

Zheng Danrui on the side suddenly spoke.

Hearing what Zheng Danrui said, Lin Daoqiu nodded first, and then asked.

"What do you think should be reformed?"

For this point, Zheng Danrui actually already had some very simple ideas.

"I think we can refer to the Oscar selection model."

Oscar's judging body is not complicated to say, it is divided into two levels of pyramid form.

The highest level is the Academy Chairman Jury, which consists of the Academy Branch Jury. The members of the Chairman Jury are selected from 14 branch associations, covering various types of film industry.

Although I dare not say that it is completely fair and just, at least everyone's opinions will not be directly fixed on a certain point.

But unfortunately, although Zheng Danrui's proposal sounds very good, but at this time, there are not so many film associations in Xiangjiang's film circle.

If it is started now, I am afraid that its credibility will be questioned a lot.

"The Academy Awards are not Oscars, so they cannot be generalized."

The Golden Statue Awards have just been held for the first time, but for Lin Daoqiu, the significance of the Golden Statue Awards is very important to him.

Because what Lin Daoqiu hopes is that after the Golden Image Awards are successfully held, Xiangjiang's films will be famous all over the world.

If the Academy Awards are held according to the Oscar standard, it can be said that it will become nondescript.

When Zheng Danrui heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he immediately realized that Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to want to have anything to do with the Academy Awards and the Oscars.
