China Entertainment Times

Chapter 769

Huaguo films have three gold awards, Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, and Golden Horse, which are not known as the three awards of China Entertainment Films, and the three awards of Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Hundred Flowers in the mainland film industry.

As the saying goes, the golden rooster is weak and the flowers are incomplete, the flying water eagle has bird flu, and the magnolia does not bloom and rust.
Of course, this is a joke from netizens
Among these awards, the Golden Horse Award is undoubtedly the highest in terms of influence and B status.

When Xiangjiang was at its peak and heyday, a large number of Xiangjiang stars became popular in Southeast Asia, and the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards was once above the Golden Horse.

However, the Hong Kong Film Awards are too regional. It would have been better if Xiangjiang Films hadn’t declined. After all, there are so many films.

But now, there are not many Xiangjiang movies, and the reviews are still the movies of those people.

The Golden Horse Awards for all Chinese-language films have naturally become the most important awards in China.

There are also many mainland films and Hong Kong films nominated and awarded every year. If all of them were sent to Taiwan Films, they would have to be as cold as the Golden Statue Awards. After all, Taiwan only produces about [-] films every year, and Seven or eight years ago, there were only twenty departments a year.

With such a small output, not only can’t support the Taiwan film market, but also can’t support a Golden Horse Award with nearly [-] awards. Even if each film is nominated for two or three, the nominations are not enough.

It is precisely because of its strong inclusiveness that both mainland films and Xiangjiang films can participate in the competition, which makes it the most influential film festival in Huaguo today.

Otherwise, if only Baodao films participated in the competition, most of the films have never been heard, so who would pay attention.

Although the influence of the Golden Horse Awards is slowly declining now, it is still the most influential award in China. Except for the incident in 2006, no one in the mainland has ever said that they will never participate.

Even if Zhang Guorong was humiliated at the Golden Horse Awards back then, he did not publicly announce that he would never participate, but he will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony since then.

In 1997, Zhang Guorong was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor by virtue of "Happy Ecstasy". At the award ceremony that year, Qin Han and Liu Luoying, as the award presenters, sang a double reed on stage to satirize Zhang Guorong's homosexuality.

Qin Han said something like this: A senior actor like me has acted in plays for decades, but "Happy Together" tells a love story between a man and a man, and I can't act it.

Liu Luoying next to me echoed that I am too, but the lesbian movie "Beauty is Singing" released on September 1997, 9 was starring Liu Luoying.

At that time, the camera kept showing Zhang Guorong in the auditorium. He was very calm throughout the whole process, watching them perform on stage with a smile, but since then, he has never been to the Golden Horse Awards.

Moreover, the organizing committee's explanation for Zhang Guorong's failure to win the award was that he only acted in his true colors in "Happy Together".

The real performance, the meaning is very clear.

None of the mainland stars refused to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and no one has ever hated the Golden Horse Awards. That is, last year Huang Bo hated Cai Kangyong at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Tang An's high-profile announcement on Weibo that he would never participate in the Golden Horse Awards was the first time, which made the incident even more heated.

Especially after the two films, several actors, and screenwriters announced their withdrawal from the selection of this year's Golden Horse Awards, it made the matter explode on Weibo.

"Damn it, Tang An really wants to block the Golden Horse Awards!"

"Awesome, so many people withdrew from the Golden Horse Awards!"

"I remembered it. It's about sixteen awards. They all gave up nominations. Tang An's influence is really great!"

"Haha, what else is there to say about watching the Golden Horse Awards now? Didn't you brag at the beginning that you didn't like Tang An's movies? Now so many people don't like the Golden Horse Awards and won't participate."

"The Golden Horse Award seems to have been silent, but now his face is swollen and he dare not speak!"

"It's right, let them close the door and play on their own. There are only [-] or [-] films in Baodao a year, and they have won so many nominations and awards. Let them enjoy themselves!"

The winners of the [-] nominations announced their withdrawal one after another. Before that, Tang An said that he would never participate in the Golden Horse Awards. Even ordinary netizens knew that Tang An was pushing back.

Although it is a bit overbearing, if it is someone else, it may still be sprayed.

But Tang An's reputation has always been very good, and even among the domestic directors, no one can compare to him in word of mouth and audience popularity.

Moreover, this is the Golden Horse Award itself. If there is no previous one, it will not be so one-sided.

Not only on the Internet, but also in the circle. After all, what Tang An boycotted was the most influential award in China.

Many people who had nominated them wondered if they should flatter Tang An and make a good impression on Tang An.

But I still gave up this idea, they are not like the people under Tang An's banner.

Ning Hao signed a five-year director contract with Forbidden City Media, a subsidiary of Hantang.

And in Baodao, the Executive Committee of the Golden Horse Film Festival was also troubled by this matter.

In a conference hall, director of Formosa Film Foundation, Zhang Aijia, chairman of the executive committee of the film festival, executive committee members Li Hang, Hou Xiaoxian, Yang Guimei, Hu Zhongguang, Li Yuan, Chen Kexin, Zeng Lifen and others were all present.

Everyone's faces were not very good. After all, just after the nomination was announced, sixteen nominees abstained.

And it was still a deliberate boycott, it was like slapping the Golden Horse Award in the face.

"It's just too arrogant, it doesn't pay attention to our Golden Horse Awards at all!"

Director Li of the Film Foundation, that is, Section Chief Li of the Information Bureau who met Tang An, slapped the table directly, his face full of anger.

When he was belittled in Tang Anna back then, Director Li thought of a chance to take revenge.

However, although he is domineering in Baodao's showbiz circle, Tang An has no influence at all in the mainland.

Moreover, after that, artists under Hantang Media hardly came to Baodao.

The box office in the Baodao area is irrelevant to the mainland. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I have nothing to do with Tang An.

Originally, he planned to play tricks on the Golden Horse Awards, so that Tang An could not get anything, but he didn't expect that Tang An would not sign up at all this time.

Just when he had been holding back for more than two months and had nowhere to vent, there was a discussion on the Internet that "Mystery Superstar" had no nominations, and he immediately saw an opportunity.

That's why he posted that Weibo, belittling Tang An's movie that won't be able to win the Golden Horse Awards.

The subsequent deletion of Weibo was also related to him. The power of Baodao was deeply rooted in Xinlang, and they were very united. It was easy to delete a Weibo.

As long as Weibo can control comments for a period of time, it will be too late even if the truth comes out.

Cao Guowei turned a blind eye to similar things in the past, but he didn't expect Cao Guowei to be so tough this time.

Weibo started to control the reviews, but it was to help Tang An to control the reviews, and the Golden Horse Awards became a villain.

But Director Li is not worried either. Netizens are the most forgetful, and there is no award in the three places across the Taiwan Strait that can threaten the status of the Golden Horse Award.

However, this incident was caused by Director Li. Even if it caused trouble, he still maintained a tough attitude, and we will figure out how to get back in the future.

And the people at the scene did not blame Director Li for the source of the matter, but most of the People's Congress of Baodao Films present were cursing Tang An.

As for people from Xiangjiang like Chen Kexin, they just watched the excitement from the sidelines, and they wouldn't get involved anyway.

"It's too arrogant, no one has dared to do this in so many years!"

"Since he wants to block our Golden Horse Awards, then we should also block all the films invested by Hantang Media and the stars under Hantang Media!"

"Yes, to ban Hantang Media, not only the Golden Horse Awards, but also the advertisements of several big brands!"

A new generation of filmmakers threatened to block Hantang Media and use all their connections to replace the endorsements of several Hantang stars.

However, Tang An has already blocked them one step at a time, and whether his company's films and artists will participate in the competition is still unclear.

As for endorsements, it is true that many senior executives of international brands in the Greater China region are from Xiangjiang and Formosa, but it is much more difficult to change a spokesperson for no reason than to ask one of your own people to take the endorsement.

Finally, after a burst of talk, I still have to make a statement about the mass retirement.

Of course, it would be impossible to fight against Tang An, after all, we lost the advantage of Weibo as the main battlefield.

Basically, it is to express regret to the filmmakers who have withdrawn from the competition, and at the same time welcome them to participate in the next official statement.

But after this incident, we still have to create momentum for the Golden Horse Awards and invite an actor with enough weight to come.

Looking back on the list of nominations, Director Li asked Zhang Aijia, "Didn't Gong Li have a nomination this year, will she come?"

Zhang Aijia shook her head, "Probably not, she has never been here before."

She didn't say the reason, but everyone knew it well.

Gong Li has not been nominated for a Golden Horse actress once in so many years, and now she is participating in the three major European film festivals. She was a judge for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival more than ten years ago. The Golden Horse is a bit worse than the three major European film festivals .

Director Li thought for a while and said, "Then invite her over, and I'll let the media report on her more."

Obviously, while inviting Gong Li, who never attended the Golden Horse Awards, at the same time, he ordered his own media to make a lot of reports. It was clearly a gesture of goodwill, and if the hint came, he would give her the actress.

Gong Li won the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Image Queens, and she is only short of a Golden Horse Queen. Even if her status is high enough, it is difficult for her to resist the temptation of the Grand Slam.

After all, what you can't get is what you want the most. If Gong Li has already won the Golden Horse Best Actress, then Director Li is still not sure whether Gong Li will come.

As for whether Gong Li will be given to the actress or not, that's another matter.

She didn't promise it personally, and she will only suffer from being dumb when the time comes.

Zhang Aijia heard that Director Li meant to appoint Gong Li as the best actress, so she didn't think much about it, and agreed to invite her.

After all, Gong Li's performance in "Return" is absolutely worthy of this year's actress.

As for the unofficial decision, I have long been familiar with it, but I didn't say it directly.

Otherwise, given that the annual output of Taiwan's films is only one-tenth of that of the mainland, why are there so many nominations and awards?
