Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 294 Golden Deer
After Huang Ze made the decision, the people below quickly moved the project towards the finish line.

Offshore company holding shares in film magazines.

Then, they sent the first two issues of that movie magazine to various newsstands at free prices in the name of promotion.

Then in the third issue, news about the new film awards was released.

Chinese Film Golden Deer Awards!
The trophy is a gilded sika deer.

The first jury chairman is Huang Ze, and the identities of the other six judges remain confidential for the time being.

All Chinese-language films from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau that meet the three conditions and have not been released publicly or have been released this year can be registered starting today, with the deadline being December 12.

The day after the news was released, ATV announced that it had purchased the broadcasting rights for next year's Golden Deer Awards for HK$1 million.

Everyone in the Hong Kong industry knows that this is Huang Ze's attack on the Hong Kong Film Awards.

But not many Hong Kong filmmakers could refuse. After all, it was just a matter of one copy, and there would be plenty of them after the screening. They could just hand one copy over to the film selection committee. There was no need to offend Huang Ze for this.

On Wanwan's side, Huang Ze has greeted Cai Songlin, who is also helping Huang Ze promote the film. He can't guarantee whether other people will come to participate in the award, but as long as it is a film he has invested in, he will definitely participate!
In the mainland, it depends on Huang Ze’s relationship with China Film Group, and his father who is the deputy director.

Food and lodging are provided, travel expenses are covered, and one can show up in public. If one wins an award, the trophy will be worth some money. In addition, with such a strong relationship, Huang Ze feels that it will be able to attract a group of people.

In short, most people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in Hong Kong who knew the news were willing to give Huang Ze face and participate.

It's the first time after all.

As for what happens next, it depends on whether Huang Ze takes it seriously and how well he does the first time.

Of course, since Huang Ze is the chairman of the jury, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" naturally does not need to participate in this award judging, thus avoiding the trouble of participating or not participating.

……

Late October.

Hong Kong Island.

The crew of "Final Destination" came to Hong Kong Island after finishing filming the scenes in the United States.

The last scene is that the hero, heroine and supporting actor escaped the pursuit of death, and after half a year they finally came to Hong Kong Island for tourism as they wished.

As a result, that feeling came up again. A billboard almost killed the male protagonist, who was saved by the supporting actor. Just when everyone thought everything was safe, the billboard turned back and killed the supporting actor.

The number on the billboard was still the same: 180.

The male protagonist was left watching all this in shock, unable to react at all.

"Peter, show more surprise in your eyes."

"do it again!"

"OK! It's done!"

Zhang Jianya shouted happily with the loudspeaker.

After more than two months, "Final Destination" was finally completed.

If you only look at the shooting time, it’s actually not that long compared to my first two films.

But Zhang Jianya felt it was very different.

The early preparations took too much time.

And those big scenes, especially the plane explosion scene, also made him smell something different. Walking to Huang Ze, Zhang Jianya said in a low voice, "Old Huang, I have a bad feeling. Hong Kong movies seem to be popular enough, but I'm afraid they won't last for many years. Sooner or later, they will lose to Hollywood."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Huang Ze asked.

"Everyone comes to the cinema to see the spectacle and excitement. I find the filming results thrilling, and the audience will eventually feel the same way. Hong Kong films will not be able to keep up with all of this, and it will be difficult for them to keep up."

"Hollywood has a huge North American and overseas market to support them in making a big-budget production. Even if they invest part of it in special effects, they can still make money."

"In Hong Kong, with an investment of US$5 million, there are only a few films a year, and the scene will seem more and more petty."

“Maybe we can occupy a certain part by relying on the localized cultural core, but it is impossible to keep only one or two Hollywood movies in the top ten every year. I think it will fail in about ten years.”

"We can also do special effects. There are also conflicts among several Hollywood distribution companies. As long as our films can sell, we can always enter the North American market." Huang Ze said.

"But we are not from Hollywood after all. If we want to succeed, we have to ensure that we succeed all the time. If you fail twice, the foundation you have laid will be destroyed."

"..." Zhang Jianya smiled bitterly and shook his head. "To be honest, even if you keep encouraging me, I still have no idea whether this film can be successful in North America."

"I have a clue."

"You have to have faith in me." Huang Ze smiled and pointed at his eyes, "My eyes are quite capable of distinguishing the audience's preferences! This film is fine!"

"Hehe, I hope so." Zhang Jianya nodded. "By the way, when will you start filming "Speed"? "

"Soon, within ten days."

"By the way, you should also finish the post-production as soon as possible. It would be great if Final Destination could be released in March."

"Final Destination" is a horror film that is very popular during the Christmas season, so you should definitely avoid it during the summer season.

This is another horror film that doesn't quite fit the style of American horror films.

So, it may not be a good choice to release it during the Halloween period.

You can only choose an unpopular time slot.

Since it’s a less popular schedule, just put it in March.

If the box office is okay, it could at least win a Golden Deer Award.

Let everyone know one thing, Star Ocean, not only my films as director Huang Ze can enter the North American market, but other directors can also enter as long as they have my guidance.

I am your only support in moving towards North America and the world.

You should be clear-headed and recognize which one is more legitimate, the Golden Deer Awards or the Hong Kong Film Awards. Don’t go astray! Help the evil! Be stubborn!
"March!" Zhang Jianya didn't even ask Huang Ze why he wanted to release the film at this time. He believed that Huang Ze must have his reasons for choosing this time. He honestly thought about the feasibility and said after a three-second pause, "There are still four months until the end of February. There will definitely be no problem."

"Well, I trust you to do the job."

Of course, even though I said I was relieved, I was still a little worried in my heart.

You have to know that editing and composing music can turn a film into another one.

It's a completely different style.

If he didn't keep an eye on them, Huang Ze was really afraid that they would lead him astray.

Therefore, Huang Ze still threw himself into the post-production with concern, and then instilled his ideas to Zhang Jianya, the editor and the composer.

It took four or five days for them to make two clips and see the results. Only then did Huang Ze feel relieved and devoted most of his energy to the "Speed" crew.
