The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 641 Disgusting
Wen Muye believes that one should not criticize blindly.

If she disagrees with something, her face turns red and her veins twitch, and she becomes as angry as thunder. This is the same as Guan Fu's scolding in the audience and a shrew's scolding in the street. It is not worth mentioning.

The purpose of scolding someone is to make them unhappy. If you get so angry that your blood vessels burst, then that is a big complaint.

First of all, you must be clear about who your target is, and at the same time, try to disintegrate the enemy camp as much as possible, and unite (forcibly drag) a small number of people to your own camp.

Then stand on the moral high ground, be righteous and awe-inspiring, and with three parts of ridicule and three parts of contempt, grasp the opponent's weak points and attack directly.

The Academy Awards ceremony ended and the guests left.

Wen Muye had a heavy heart and a dark face, and a reporter from a movie channel blocked his way.

"Director Wen, congratulations to 'New World' for winning the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards."

"Thank you." Wen Muye's acting skills became worse and worse, his smile was forced, and a hint of sadness was revealed.

"This is the first time that a domestic film has won the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards. You don't seem very happy? Because New World only won one out of 12 nominations?"

"Not really."

Wen Muye sighed: "The original intention of the Hong Kong Film Awards is to support local Hong Kong films. Just like what Mr. Lu said when he accepted the award, it doesn't matter whether "New World" wins the award or not.

We came here to support this award and the Hong Kong crew behind the scenes who participated in the filming of "New World". We are also sincerely happy for the other winners."

"So what are you doing?" the reporter asked puzzledly.

"Alas, what Brother Cheng Long said just now made me sad. It's not easy for Brother Cheng Long. I feel sorry for him. Brother Cheng Long has been in the industry for 52 years. He works diligently and conscientiously. He doesn't use a stunt double for dangerous actions. He takes his life to shoot movies and brings Chinese Kung Fu abroad.

Fighting all the way to Hollywood, letting the world see the charm of Chinese martial arts and the fortitude of the Chinese people, Brother Cheng Long, that is a Chinese Kung Fu flag flying in the international film scene!"

He raised his chin slightly, his emotions were high, and his face showed an expression of extreme admiration.

The reporters were all stunned and complained wildly in their hearts, "No, brother, Director Wen, this is too much. It's a bit fake."

Wen Muye continued to perform: "But such a person who is destined to be recorded in the history of Hong Kong movies has not been favored by the Academy Awards for 52 years. I can't understand why the Academy Awards always use Brother Cheng Long's identity as an action actor as an excuse to decline.

But as early as 1983, Mr. Hong Jinbao won the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards for his film "Beware of Little Hands". I think the Hong Kong Film Awards should give Brother Cheng Long a Best Actor trophy instead of using the same reason to prevaricate him for 52 years. Or maybe the Hong Kong Film Awards hopes to show its own value through this means? "

"Uh" the reporter didn't know what to say.

It was clearly "New World" that didn't win the award, so why are you standing up for the Hong Kong actors?

Wen Muye first dragged Cheng Long into the water, continuing to divide the Hong Kong camp, saying: "There is also Director Zhou Xinchi. Every one of his movies is a hit, repeatedly creating box office miracles. His achievements are beyond the reach of many actors. But even such an excellent actor and director has won very few awards.

The box office performance of "Kung Fu" broke records that year. He took this movie to the 2005th Hong Kong Film Awards in 24 and received 16 nominations. It was very popular and became the top favorite of the Hong Kong Film Awards. However, the final result was not satisfactory. Although "Kung Fu" swept various awards, Zhou Xinchi was not included. He was not even given the Best Screenplay Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. "

"I want to ask on their behalf, why?"

"In fact, there are many Hong Kong film and television practitioners who have similar experiences, such as Wu Zhenyu, Du Qifeng, etc."

Johnnie To has a terrible relationship with the Academy Awards. He has not attended this event since the 2000 Academy Awards.

The same is true for Wu Zhenyu. In 2004, he was nominated for the 23rd Academy Awards for "Infernal Affairs 2". The competition for Best Actor that year was extremely fierce.

His opponents include Andy Lau, Simon Yam, Zhang Xueyou, and Sean Lau. Among the group, Francis Ng is still considered the favorite.

Unfortunately, the final result was contrary to expectations, and Andy Lau had the last laugh with the bad movie "Big Man".

Furious, Wu Zhenyu said: "In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, luck, connections, and audience popularity are important, but strength is not important. Strength is placed last."

Wen Muye shook his head pretentiously, as if expressing regret for the unfair treatment they had received.

“Before attending the awards ceremony, I chatted with a few friends in Hong Kong, and we all generally agreed that the starting point of the Academy Awards is to support Hong Kong films.

But the problem with the Academy Awards now is that it has no influence or credibility in promoting Hong Kong films, but instead it eats up the star power that Hong Kong films created in the early years.”

"Oh!" He sighed hypocritically, standing on the moral high ground, feeling heartbroken.

"It's not worth it. I really feel sorry for my Hong Kong colleagues. I sincerely hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards can get better and better. Looking back at the Hong Kong Film Awards in the early years, it was full of big names and stars. Nowadays, the judges are so cruel to Hong Kong artists that it makes me, an outsider, feel disheartened!"

"In recent years, the Academy Awards have been advocating the protection of Hong Kong films, but to little effect. The judges of the Academy Awards really need to change and open their eyes to the world. Times have changed.

Instead of sticking to the old ways, it is better to be more open and make the awards more transparent, at least to Hong Kong actors, so as not to discourage them. Don’t always give the same old familiar faces, but give more opportunities to newcomers.

Otherwise, in a few years, when the older generations retire one after another, who will carry the banner of the future?

"Alas, I'm an outsider and shouldn't say these things, but I can't help it. Every time I think of the wrinkles on Brother Chenglong's face and Zhou Xinchi's gradually graying hair, I feel heartbroken." Wen Muye stroked his chest with his hand, feeling extremely painful.

"Do you understand this feeling of heartache?"

reporter:"."

I don’t understand, but you are very good at sowing discord. You never mention “New World” at all, but every sentence is about “New World”!
He has a legitimate reason to do things, and he does weird things under the pretext of doing good for the Academy Awards.

My fellow travelers in Hong Kong still remember your kindness.

……

After the list of Academy Award winners was announced.

The internet is full of comments that the Academy Awards are petty and discriminatory.

Wen Muye cited Cheng Long and others as examples to speak up for Hong Kong artists and blasted the Academy Awards for their remarks.

After being reported by a reporter from a film channel, it added fuel to the fire and caused an uproar on the Internet in a short period of time.

Coincidentally, some netizens just compiled the list of nominees and final winners of the Academy Awards over the years.

Those netizens who knew little about the Academy Awards finally understood it this time.

It turns out that even kung fu superstar Jacky Cheung looked down upon the Academy Awards, and he had skipped the competition for 52 years using the same reason. It turns out that the King of Comedy Stephen Chow had suffered such a great humiliation at the Academy Awards.

How can you treat my brother like this? Why?
Well, their fans are angry!

Little black fan: "Director Wen Muye is a director with vision. As the director with the highest box office for a single Chinese-language film, he did not complain about not winning the Best Director Award this time. Instead, he was worried about the situation of his peers in Hong Kong. This is the responsibility of a great director. Academy Awards, please understand better @陈嘉尚."

Little Mosquito: "Oh my god, it turns out that even Brother Cheng Long was excluded by the Academy Awards. My poor brother is already old, and he has never won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards. Don't look down on the poor young man. Wait until my brother wins the Oscar, and you at the Academy Awards will know what it means to regret your decision."

Little Lion: "Master Xing, woo woo woo, it turns out that your hair turned white because you were banned from the Academy Awards for many years. My poor Master Xing."

Xiao Niu Lang: "The Academy Awards are really shameless. They exclude mainland artists. If they have the ability, they should not release their films in mainland China. They are greedy for our mainland market, but they don't recognize mainland artists. They want it all, and the key is that they are so cruel to Hong Kong artists. How can they be so shameless?"

Public opinion intensified, criticism of the Academy Awards became more and more rampant, and some people in Hong Kong suffered consequences.

First, it was Brother Chenglong.

When Cheng Long saw the content of Wen Muye’s interview, her blood pressure almost rose.

No, Wen Muye is sick.

If you want to criticize the Academy Awards, just do it directly. It’s not the first time that the Academy Awards have been criticized, and they’re used to it. But why drag him into this?
Who wants you to be pitiful?

This is like roasting him alive on the fire.

Cheng Long wished that time could go back to the Academy Awards ceremony and give himself two hard slaps. Why bother? Just present the awards honestly, why bother talking so much?

Being a worldly-wise man, he naturally would not accept media interviews on such sensitive issues. Unfortunately, despite all his planning, he was blocked by netizens on his Weibo account.

"Brother, please say something."

"Brother, you have been wronged for so many years. Speak out. You will feel better. We will vent your anger for you."

"What the above person said makes sense, big brother, if you give the order, even though we are old, we can still make a difference. As long as you give the order, we will go and destroy the Academy Awards right now!"

Netizens and fake fans were too enthusiastic, which made Cheng Long feel very unfamiliar. For a moment, she couldn't tell who was good and who was bad. She had no choice but to post this.

"First of all, I would like to thank the netizens for their concern, and also thank Director Wen Muye for his support for Hong Kong films. Winning awards depends on luck. If it doesn't work this time, try again next time. Although the Hong Kong Film Awards has many minor problems, it is improving and progressing every year. I believe it will be even better in the future."

In any case, as a Hong Konger, he should defend the Academy Awards.

Little Mosquito: "So you've been unlucky for 52 years, so you acknowledge the reason why you were rejected 52 times by the Academy Awards judges, and admit that you have a narrow acting range and are not good at anything other than action movies, and your acting skills are terrible!"

Cheng Long: “.”

Damn, troublemakers, troublemakers!!

Netizens were having fun on Cheng Long’s Weibo, and Cheng Long had no choice but to pretend to be offline.

The onlookers went to find Zhou Xinchi again, but the other party didn’t have an account, so they went to find Johnnie To.

"Director Du, I heard that after 2000, you no longer attended the Academy Awards ceremony even if you were nominated?"

Johnnie To was blunt and didn't care about the reputation of the Academy Awards at all: "Their judging work over the past decade or so wasn't very good. I don't want them to divide the spoils, but they divide the spoils all day long.

Affected by the sluggish environment of Hong Kong films, the value of the award has been declining year by year in the past decade. If the jury continues to be stubborn, this award will become a self-entertainment thing.”

After two Hong Kong people, Shing Long and Johnnie To, were involved in the incident, the public opinion storm became increasingly serious.

The chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang, was sitting in his office at this time, suffering from a severe headache.

He wore glasses, squinted his eyes, and explained to netizens on Weibo in a slightly unfamiliar voice using a small trumpet.

The general idea is that the Best Picture award has never been awarded to any film other than Hong Kong films before, and this time it was awarded to "New World", which broke the precedent.

Compared to the past, the Academy Awards have made concessions.

But netizens did not buy it and kept asking in return, why couldn’t Lu Yuan win the Best Actor award, why couldn’t mainland male actors win the Best Actor award.

Chen Jiashang was depressed because he couldn't explain it at all.

Although he is the chairman of the Academy Awards, there is a board of directors behind the Awards and thousands of voters voting. His power is not that great, and netizens have a deep misunderstanding of him.

Several senior executives had previously discussed what award Lu Yuan should receive.

Because of the example of "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen only won a costume design award but did not dare to show any displeasure.

So they thought Lu Yuan was about the same and decided to forgo the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

Taking into account the box office, reputation, and appeal of the leading actors of "New World", the Academy Awards finally took a step back just in case.

Take out Best Picture.

But now it seems that it is of no use.

After Wen Muye’s sympathetic speech, the Academy Awards instantly became the focus of attention.

The key point is that Wen Muye still acts like he is doing well for the Academy Awards.

How can he have the nerve to do that? It's disgusting, really disgusting!

"Ding Ding Ding!"

"..."

"Hello, I understand." Chen Jiashang hung up the phone.

Fang Runtian, the brand sponsoring this year's Academy Awards, called to express their dissatisfaction.

He didn't care about it. At worst he would just stop cooperating.

When Chen Jiashang was in a state of panic, the hung up phone rang again.

"Ding ding ding."

"what happened again?"

"What, Du Wenze?"

Chen Jiashang hurriedly opened Weibo, only to see that Du Wenze was on the hot search list due to his inappropriate remarks.

Initially, netizens focused their fire on the Academy Awards, believing that it was because of the narrow-mindedness of the Academy Awards judges that most of the films nominated this year were of poor quality, and they also specifically mentioned "Vulgar Comedy" starring Du Wenze.

Du Wenze said on Weibo: "The Academy Awards is our own business, the rules are transparent, we can judge however we want, it is not the turn of outsiders to comment."

At a time like this, it would be foolish to go against netizens.

Du Wenze was criticized by netizens and probably received a warning, so he did not respond to the netizens' comments again.

As a result, this person did not repent and turned around and went to Facebook to write a big story about it.

"Sometimes, I really laugh at the self-righteous comments of some netizens. They don't have much ability and can only shout online. In order to post comments, they may even have to save money and go to an Internet cafe to type."

These remarks completely angered netizens on Facebook.

Many people forwarded the message to domestic Weibo, and netizens were furious when they saw it.

Speak to it.

"Fuck you, don't come here to film if you have the guts!"

"Where's my knife?!"

"Why, a head full of shit?"

"..."

Faced with the condemnation from netizens, this person was not willing to be outdone.

"If you have the guts, why don't you let me go to the mainland to film?"

When Chen Jiashang saw this, he swallowed his saliva and thought, it’s over, the matter is getting worse and worse.

How should this end?
