China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 424 The plan behind the film award
After a short holographic projection, the host He Jiu appeared. Of course, he did not do a talk show like the Oscars, but it was still necessary to summarize the general content of the 24 awards.

Apart from anything else, He Jiu's hosting skills and qualities are quite adequate.

"Now we will present the first award, the Best Musical Film Award. Our presenter, the famous director Apichatpong Weerasethakul from Thailand, will come on stage to present the award."

After He Jiu said this, he retreated behind the scenes. At this time, Apichatpong Weerasethakul came to the stage, holding a card and a sealed transparent bag with a handful of key.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul first opened the card, said a few words to introduce the award, and then began to read the shortlist to the card.

The shortlisted films include "Rock Hero", "Rock Fruit", and "Sunflower Blooms" from mainland China, and India's "Waiting", "Giving Up for You", "Meet My Right One", and "Monsoon Storm", Thailand's "Time Travel 1995", the island country's "Weiyuan New Sound Generation" and "Golden Orchestra".

Musical movies are inherently a niche genre. Although they are niche, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

In fact, in the West, there are many excellent musical films produced in Hollywood every year, such as "The Ballad of Drunkenness", "Once", "Almost Famous", "The Pianist", "The Sound of Music", "The Sound of Music" ", "Exploding Drummer", "Singin' in the Rain", "Start Again: Meet You in New York"...

Of course, there are also many biographical films about musicians, all of which fall into the category of musical films.

It’s just that there are not many popular music movies in the United States and the West in Asia.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are not many. If all Indian movies are classified as musical movies, there will be a large number of musical movies every year.

But in fact, musical movies are not called musical movies because they include singing, dancing and music. Musical movies refer to movies with music as the theme, and most of the singing and dancing music in Indian movies are not themes but just add spice to the plot.

As Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul introduced the nomination list, the on-site director also gave some shots to the director and starring actors of each crew.

After the ten nominated films were read out, the staff finally delivered a box. Apichatpong Weerasethakul tore open the plastic bag, took out the key, and then opened the box.

Then he took out an envelope from the box. After he showed it, the big screen at the back also showed the envelope as it was when it was sealed, with a wax seal.

The audience saw that the envelope in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's hand was exactly the same as the envelope when it was sealed with wax on the screen, proving that it had not been tampered with.

Then he cut open the envelope with the knife on the plate, and then he took out the folded card.

"The musical film that won the first annual Film Awards is..."Weiyuan New Sound Generation", congratulations."

Immediately, the audience burst into huge cheers and applause, congratulating the first winner.

Director Atsuhiro Yamashita trotted onto the stage excitedly, received the trophy from Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and then gave an exciting acceptance speech.

There are few commercial films in the island country's film industry, and commercial film directors are not recognized by the film industry.

Therefore, their directors are proud of winning awards, and they also have a serious hierarchical culture. Their fame requires young directors to slowly accumulate reputation by winning awards from all over the world.Therefore, every international award is very important to the directors of the island country, because it is an important cornerstone for them to slowly accumulate and become masters.

Atsuhiro Yamashita was born in 76 and is only 40 years old now. Therefore, at his age, he has accumulated a lot of capital to win such a prestigious international award as the Annual Film Award.

Therefore, his speech was very emotional.People like this usually become very loyal to the film award after receiving such a grand award.

The reason here is very simple. As a country where heroes are judged by awards, awards are their lifeblood, so they hope that the awards they receive have as much gold as possible. In order to prevent the awards they receive from lacking in gold, they will The whole world works hard to protect the reputation of this award.

Therefore, the film award is not just a simple film award, it is also a tool to win over the hearts of filmmakers.

Why should He Fang set the Film Awards to have ten nominations per category?The purpose is to attract more people to come in and safeguard the value of this award and the authority of this award.

If someone slanders or belittles this award, filmmakers who have won nominations and awards will be the first to stand up and fight against those who slander this award.

It's like someone slandering Cannes, Venice and Berlin. If you slander someone, the top directors from each country will be the first to jump out and trample you to death.Because these top directors have basically won these three major film awards. If you slander these three, you will destroy their aura and destroy their honor.

The plan behind this... is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After the Best Musical Film was awarded, it was the Best Supporting Actress Award. The presenter was Ng Meng-tat. With his popularity and status as a golden supporting actor, it can be said that it is very suitable to award the Best Supporting Actress Award.

Uncle Da was dressed in a suit. As soon as he walked onto the stage, the audience and guests gave him warm applause. He nodded and smiled at everyone, then stood in front of the microphone and spoke in fluent English.

"Actors are the specific executors and expressors of a movie's plot, ideas, and art. Without actors, there would be no movie. So the role and significance of actors in movies is like our brains.

The most dazzling thing in a movie is the male and female protagonists. However, if there is no supporting role, the performance of any protagonist will be like a high-end performance.Next, the award for Best Supporting Actress will be awarded.The nominees for the Best Supporting Actress award are..."

Wu Mengda glanced at the big screen next to him, then took the card in his hand and started reading.

Similarly, every time Wu Mengda read a name, the camera was given to a person, and then turned into a small frame and placed on the big screen.

When Wu Mengda finished reading and then tore open the plastic bag in his hand and took out the key, the staff had already brought up a plate with a box on it.

Wu Mengda unlocked the door, took out the envelope inside, and showed it to everyone as usual. The VCR that had been prepared for a long time also showed the situation when the envelope was sealed with wax. Comparing the two, it was an untouched envelope.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award at the first annual Film Awards is... Luo Meilan, who plays Zhao Ming'ai in the Korean movie "Himalayas". Congratulations to Luo Meilan."
