Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 300 What a pity

"Wow, Director Huang." Jackie Chan, who was at his villa at home, preparing to be a judge at the Huang Ze Golden Deer Film Festival, was filled with joy after seeing the relevant reports!
"I didn't make the wrong choice before!"

"After Speed ​​is finished, it will be my turn to work with Director Huang."

"He can actually make a horror movie sell more than 20 million in North America in ten days. Then the action movie he cooperates with me should have a box office of more than 20 million US dollars, right?"

Jackie Chan did dream of making over 100 million, but he always controlled himself once he got started.

This thought has appeared in my mind too many times.

He had tried Hollywood twice before, and failed miserably both times.

Because he has experienced it, he knows too well how difficult it is, and he also knows the xenophobia of North American audiences.

"Twenty million is good enough. Any more depends on God."

Jackie Chan leaned on the sofa, looking at the ceiling with a smile, as if he was fantasizing about something. There was anticipation, excitement, and a hint of worry in his eyes.

……

After taking a flight for more than ten hours to return to Hong Kong Island, Huang Ze did not feel tired at all. He went straight to Xinghai Film and Television as soon as he got off the plane.

Huang Ze is very worried about the Golden Deer Awards.

You can't not worry!

The film festival will begin in about a week, that is, on March 31st. It is expected to last for three days, and the awards ceremony will begin on the evening of April 3rd, which is exactly two days earlier than the Hong Kong Film Awards!

There was no deliberate element involved, it was just an accident, a beautiful accident.

"Hello, Mr. Huang."

"Congratulations, Mr. Huang, for dominating Hollywood again."

"Yeah." Huang Ze waved to the employees who greeted him and walked into Liu Zhenwei's office.

As he walked towards the sofa, he asked, "How is our Chinese Film Golden Deer Award going?"

“It’s progressing smoothly.”

"The hotel has already made arrangements in advance."

"Mr. Huang's cinema chain will also use a newly built multi-hall cinema on the main island as the screening venue for the four-day film festival."

"The auditorium needed for the awards ceremony has been rented at the Hong Kong Baptist University Auditorium, and ATV will broadcast the event live."

"These are the films that have been shortlisted for the main competition unit. There are twelve in total. The release dates of these twelve films will be listed later. They will all be screened for the first time within two days."

"It will take the judges a day and a half to select the winners, and the awards will be presented on the evening of the 3rd."

Liu Zhenwei took out a booklet, walked up to Huang Ze and handed it to him. "This is the manual we prepared for the film festival."

"Ah."

Huang Ze took it and studied it.

The whole thing is red, and the cover features a standing golden sika deer, which is exactly the appearance of his Golden Deer Award trophy.

When you open it, there is an introduction to the award and the judges, followed by pictures of the twelve films shortlisted for the main competition unit.

There are four films from the mainland, including "New Year" starring Zhao Lirong, "Walking and Singing" directed by Chen Shishi, "Mom" directed by Zhang Yuan, and the martial arts film "Swordsman of Double Flag Town".

The song "Mom" was added at the instruction of Huang Ze.

Although director Zhang Yuan did commit a crime in the end.

But this film is the first independent film in the entire mainland.

Has an unusual meaning.

This marks the beginning of the sixth generation's entry into the film industry. Even though many people think that the sixth generation is deliberately filming ugly things to please foreigners, we have to admit that their path has cultivated a group of film practitioners.

Otherwise, given the domestic film market at the end of the century, I'm afraid a large number of people will have to change careers or starve to death.

From Wanwan are Li An’s “Pushing Hands”, Yang Dechang’s “The Boys from Muguling”, and a documentary, “The Voice of the People” (Environmental Protection).

It was originally planned that Yang Dechang would be a judge.

But who can blame him? “The Boys from Muguling” was released last year, which just met the entry requirements, and he will have a certain position in the world film industry in the future.

Huang Ze couldn't resist the opportunity to improve the quality of the award and decided to let him participate in the competition with his work.

As for the identity of the judge, it was replaced by another Taiwanese filmmaker.

Considering that all six judges are men and there is a lack of a woman, the final judge was Zhang Aijia, who plays Wanwan, the tomboy in the "Best Partner" series.

Finally, there are Hong Kong films. Maybe it’s because there are more people from Hong Kong Island in the film selection committee, or maybe it’s because Hong Kong films do have a big influence nowadays, with a total of five films.

"Ruan Lingyu" which I invested in myself.

"Traveling Around the World" by Wu Baige.

"The Inspector Lei Luo" starring Lu Liangwei.

Xu Ke accidentally completed "Swordsman II: The East is Unbeaten" a year ahead of schedule.

Another reason was probably because he changed the trajectory of Liang Jiahui, making it more popular, and the director had been waiting for him, delaying his release for half a year, just in time for "Love in a Foreign Land" to participate in the Golden Deer Awards.

Looking at these twelve films, Huang Ze nodded with satisfaction.

It's worth it for me to give advice to the film selection committee from time to time.

If I remember correctly, on Douban in later generations, the average score of these works would definitely be over eight points, and nearly half of the films should be over eight and a half points.

If this quality can be maintained every year, surpassing the Academy Awards will not be a problem!

Perhaps there aren't enough commercial film elements in it, but Hong Kong's commercial films have only lasted a few years, and this year is already 1992.

If I remember correctly, 1993 was the day when Hong Kong films completely collapsed.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Huang Ze couldn't help but shook his head.

Such a good film industry is ruined.

Of course, Huang Ze also knew that this was not something he could control.

Everyone is just trying to sell trailers and make money, what can you do? Tell them not to sell trailers, or tell them not to cheat people and make good movies.

Others are having a great time making money, who would care about me?

Besides, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. No one would dare to take action against you. Firstly, they are afraid of you, and secondly, they don't want to hinder the other party from making money. There is not much conflict of interest.

If a conflict arises, even twenty bodyguards may not be able to prevent it!
The US president is assassinated from time to time, and I cannot guarantee that I am 100% safe.

Therefore, the best way is for everyone to mind their own business and not meddle in other people's business. Just focus on selling trailers for Xinghai and strive to make Xinghai the most reliable friend in Southeast Asia.

"Boss Huang, what's the pity?"

"pity……"

"It's a pity that the final box office of "Final Destination" will probably only be around 50 million US dollars." Huang Ze said casually.

"only……"

This sentence made Liu Zhenwei speechless. He couldn't help wanting to laugh, but seeing Huang Ze's serious face, he had to suppress his laughter.
