Chapter 1063: Organize a game by yourself
"Mr. Qiao, let's go?"
After the award ceremony, Qiao Feng was not going to attend the subsequent dinner, and just as he was about to leave, He Guanchang came to him at some point and sent out an invitation.
Qiao Feng nodded, he estimated that He Guanchang must have something to find him.
"Mr. Qiao is disappointed tonight, isn't he?"
The two walked side by side, Qiao Feng thought why Guanchang wanted to talk about business, but he didn't expect to be ridiculing himself.
"What's there to be disappointed about?" Qiao Feng asked indifferently.
"Mr. Qiao strongly advocated that Andy quit the crew of Ah Fei's main story, and refused to let it be released in our theaters, everyone said that Mr. Qiao was not optimistic about this movie, but tonight this movie won five awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, isn't Mr. Qiao disappointed, the Academy Awards This is in disguise to say that Mr. Qiao's vision is not good, isn't Mr. Qiao angry?" He Guanchang said something serious, but Qiao Feng still heard a little schadenfreude.
Needless to say, tomorrow's newspaper will inevitably compare the two to ridicule him, especially the second opponent, Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily, if they have the opportunity to mock the boss of the opponent Ming Pao, they will definitely seize the opportunity to report it.
However, for Qiao Feng, this thing is not a fart.
It's not that he doesn't like Ah Fei's story, but he is really full of disgust for Deng Guangrong, the investor in the same play, and he doesn't like the style and ink of the king of sunglasses and the style of delaying the actor's time.
"What about you, Mr. He, are you disappointed?" Qiao Feng didn't answer He Guanchang's question, but asked rhetorically.
The reason why He Guanchang attended the Academy Awards ceremony tonight is because the film invested and distributed by Golden Harvest, starring Zhang Manyu and Liang Jiahui, won the same nine nominations as Ah Fei's true story in the season of another country, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Newcomer, Best Screenwriter, Best Cinematography, all important nominations, better than the rolling red dust.
And Yoshiko Kawashima starring Andy Lau and Anita Mui also got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Counting up, of the fifteen nominations for this year's Academy Awards, Golden Harvest Company got ten.
As a result, like the rolling red dust, I didn't win a prize.
Are I disappointed? I want to ask you.
He Guanchang was stunned by Qiao Feng's question, he didn't expect the report from the present world to come so quickly.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Disappointment, I must be disappointed, after all, there are so many nominees, is Mr. Qiao different?"
Qiao Feng gave a different answer lightly: "I'm not disappointed, I just think it's boring."
"Boring you?" He Guanchang didn't expect to get such an unexpected answer.
Whether Qiao Feng was disappointed or angry, it was all in his expectation, but Qiao Feng gave an answer that was not what he imagined.
"It's boring and ridiculous, so many films participate in the competition, but in the end they all become accompaniments. These sub-judges are now becoming more and more literary and artistic.Hong Kong is originally a small place, and the Academy Awards only serve the films of this small place, and their own influence and development are limited. Qiao Feng shook his head as he spoke.
He Guanchang nodded, the limitations of the Academy Awards are actually known to everyone.
Named "Academy Awards" like the Academy Awards, it shows the founder's vision and ambition for this event from the very beginning, hoping to become the Chinese film industry's own Oscar.
But the Hong Kong Film Awards was small from the beginning, and it was only aimed at Hong Kong films, or Chinese-language films invested by Hong Kong.
Other films are not selected.
Therefore, the Hong Kong Film Awards is of course the most authoritative and influential award for the entire Chinese film when Hong Kong films are brilliant.
But once Hong Kong films are lonely, the Academy Awards will no longer be able to maintain their former glory and influence.
And why does the Golden Horse Award always have a strong influence in the Asia-Pacific region?
Because it selects Chinese films from all over the world.
Regardless of which country or region the producer is, it can be declared for selection.
Therefore, even though Taiwanese films have never been able to become mainstream in Asia, the Golden Horse Awards have always had a wide range of authority and influence in the Chinese film industry.
Of course, it is also because the target group of the Golden Horse Awards is Chinese-language films, so when someone makes incorrect remarks, the Golden Horse Awards, which are boycotted by the entire Chinese-language film industry, can only become a place for Wanwan people to entertain themselves.
To get back to the point, the Academy Awards have been popular with Hong Kong films from the beginning when they were founded, and that is because the Academy Awards have indeed promoted the prosperity of Hong Kong films, improving the production level of filmmakers and the audience's appreciation.
Of course, it is more important for the majority of filmmakers to be recognized and commended by the awards.
However, once the diversity of the Academy Awards is destroyed, the majority of filmmakers are full of joy to participate but can only watch a certain film sweep all the awards, but others do not receive anything, especially after this situation has occurred many times, everyone's enthusiasm for this award will be greatly hit.
Especially when the quality of the films that are also nominated is not bad, it will be a big hit.
After all, your impartiality is in question.
"But what can be done, the original intention of the Film Fortnight Weekly to create the Academy Awards is to recognize Hong Kong filmmakers." He Guanchang shook his head.
For the film companies, the dissatisfaction with the selection of the Academy Awards has existed for a long time.
Especially for a big film company like Golden Harvest, most of the films produced every year are commercial films, and commercial films have never been favored by the Academy Awards.
On the contrary, it is a feature film with a small company and a small investment, and literary films can shine at the Academy Awards.
Obviously, the movies he produced have a higher box office and are more liked by the audience, but they are often not recognized, or given a consoling martial arts director, art director and other awards.
The family class won the best martial arts instructor a few times, but Cheng Long didn't win any performance awards.
It's certainly impossible to say that you are not angry.
However, as He Guanchang said, what can you do?
"Of course there is a way. we can run a movie award by ourselves, organize our own game and have fun, and play bigger." Qiao Feng said with a smile.
This is an idea he has had for a long time, and at this year's Academy Awards, he didn't win an award for movies such as Rolling Red Dust, and after watching Ah Fei's biography sweep, he was even more determined to this idea.
It just so happened that He Guanchang came to him, and he also provoked the conversation, so let's just form a game together.
"Let's make our own game, isn't that another Academy Award?" He Guanchang didn't understand what the meaning of his own game was, was it just to give himself a prize?
"Of course not, we want to organize a big group, like the three major film festivals in Europe, let's also hold a Hong Kong International Film Festival, not only to select Hong Kong films, not only to select Chinese films, but also to select films from all over the world, so that all filmmakers can be proud of winning our awards."
