The Bauhinia Film Awards, sounds great. ”

"This name is good, the city flower of Hong Kong is the bauhinia, which can best represent our Hong Kong local, so naturally it is the bauhinia!"

"Then the name Bauhinia?"

"I think so. ”

“……”

The name Bauhinia Film Award is quite good, both in terms of meaning and literality, and everyone discussed it and set the name of the film award as Bauhinia.

Subsequently, the criteria for each award were revised, and the plan given by Huo Yaowen was based on the idea that except for the best film and best cinematography, which were more professional awards that were selected by professional filmmakers, all the other awards were voted for by the public.

This award scheme is very fair, but many people think that some foreign awards, such as the Asia-Pacific Film Awards at the Asian Film Festival, can be judged by professionals.

So after some discussion among everyone, it was decided to change the method.

That is, from the various guilds within the association, select a film review group, and then select a film review group from all walks of life, and let the two film review teams vote for selection.

This is only a preliminary revision, and the details of the award are yet to be considered.

When Wen Yingguang was about to talk about the film awards, he glanced at his boss, and then threw out the second discussion of the meeting, that is, whether this Bauhinia Film Award is mainly a local film, or an international award like the Asia-Pacific Film Awards and Cannes Film Awards.

Wen Yingguang was very straightforward when he said this, and it reached everyone's ears, that is, he wanted to play by himself behind closed doors, or he would pull all the filmmakers in the world to play together.

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to discuss fiercely again, some people thought that the award could be made international, and some people thought that it was not necessary, just hold a local film award.

Everyone has their own ideas, some people echo it, some people are perfunctory, and some people sincerely want to do a good job of this Bauhinia Film Award, anyway, it is very noisy, and no one can convince anyone.

Sitting in a corner at this time, Hu Jinshuo, who had not spoken before, frowned and asked: "If the Bauhinia Film Awards are made into Cannes and Asia-Pacific Film Awards, I think it will be difficult to hold it successfully without a film distributor." ”

Wu is the first Hong Kong filmmaker to win the Cannes award. In 1975, she won the highest technical award at the 28th Cannes International Film Festival for the film "Chivalrous Girl", and was nominated for the Palme d'Or.

Although it was a pity that he did not win the highest Palme d'Or in the end, he became famous all over the world by virtue of his nomination, and the film "Chivalrous Girl" was also invited by international film festivals in Europe, the United States and Australia, and won many awards and praises. (Enter the Dragon has an investment from Hollywood Warner, and it's a co-production.) ）

With the experience of going to various overseas film festivals to participate in film awards in the past two years, Hu Jinzhuan is more optimistic about developing the Bauhinia Film Award into an international award, but there is one fundamental problem, that is, funding!

If you want to host such an international film award, you can't just rely on the gimmick of the film award, you must hold the corresponding film festival to attract countless film distributors, so that foreign filmmakers can willingly bring their films to participate in the film awards, because even if they can't win the award, they can sell movies at the film festival.

Everyone agrees with what Hu Jinzhuan said, in all fairness, if the Bauhinia Film Award is established, there is no benefit, who will bring the film to participate?

"This Hu Dao and everyone don't have to worry. Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "I know a lot of publishers, whether it is Asia, Europe or the United States, there is no problem. ”

That's what I said!

Several filmmakers who have the ability to produce films looked at Huo Yaowen with envy.

The people in Hong Kong who have the ability to distribute movies to Asia, even Europe and the United States, I am afraid that Huo Yaowen is the only one!

Uncle Shao Liu also stared at Huo Yaowen with complicated eyes, in the past, he was the only one in Hong Kong who could sell movies to Nanyang, at that time, Shaw Brothers could be said to be calling for wind and rain, relying on the share of the Nanyang market, and dragged down several film companies.

But now that there are Golden Harvest and Huanyu, naturally there is no need to say anything more.

"Then the problem of funding is not easy to solve, right?"

A very real question was raised.

"It's easy to deal with financial issues. The Bauhinia Film Award will be handed over to Phoenix TV to undertake, whether it is foreign filmmakers who take the film to sign up, or the expenses of various venues, all expenses will be paid by Phoenix TV. Huo Yaowen opened his mouth and said.

Uncle Shao Liu instantly thought of Miss Universe, who missed last year, and hurriedly said: "The wireless station can also undertake it, and all expenses are taken care of by the wireless station." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Yaowen, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter what, the undertaking of this award could not be handed over to Phoenix Terrace!!

Everyone saw that Huo Yaowen and Uncle Shao Liu began to fight again over the affairs of the TV station, and they all laughed and said nothing, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

Wen Yingguang is the same, although he has the intention of favoring the boss, but so many people are watching, it is not good to say anything, so he can only sloppy and say: "It's not too late to talk about the things undertaken, the top priority is to improve the film award system, and by the way, it is better to give the film exhibition that Director Hu proposed just now." ”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads again and again.

"Director Wen is right, there is no hurry to undertake the matter, it is better to determine the film festival first, and then contact the distributor and notify it. ”

Huo Yaowen is determined to win the Phoenix Film Awards, he is not a self-sacrificing character, even if he respects Uncle Shao Liu, he can hold the first Hong Kong Bauhinia Film Awards, and it is impossible to give it up in vain.

Hearing this, Uncle Shao Liu's face was also gloomy, wanting to express his displeasure in his heart.

……

For some time after that, the members of the association were discussing and planning the Bauhinia Film Festival and the Hong Kong International Film Festival, from the appearance of the trophies, the order of appearance of each award, to the criteria of the judges, to the people invited to the festival, for a long time, until the end of April finally finalized all of them.

The appearance of the trophy is naturally the image of Bauhinia, and the TV station that hosted it is naturally Phoenix TV, He Zuozhi received Huo Yaowen's instructions, and when he came to the meeting, he also gave a lot of promises that the wireless station could not pay.

Even if Uncle Shao was unwilling, in the face of He Zuozhi's conditions and promises, after thinking about the value of giving and returning, he still reluctantly chose to give up.

There was no hope of hosting the film awards, so he set his sights on the film festival, relying on his connections, and attracting many people in private, before he brought the opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival to his own wireless station.

As for Li's TV station, after they heard the rumors, although they also wanted to participate, but with the obstruction of Huo Yaowen and Shao Liushu, they could only be indignantly isolated from the field.

In the end, the film festival was handed over to Phoenix Channel, and the film festival was handed over to Radio Channel, and the time was set for July.

At the same time, in the name of the Hong Kong Film Society, Wan Yingguang applied to the government to hold the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

The Governor's Office did not refuse to accept this good opportunity to enhance Hong Kong's international reputation, and soon agreed after deliberation, and even set aside a good place near Victoria Harbour for film festivals.

On the other hand, Huo Yaowen also notified the global distribution department and asked them to communicate with the distributors that Nanyang cooperated, and he himself personally sent a telegram to Toho Company in Japan and Fox Company in the United States, inviting their distribution departments to come to Hong Kong to participate in the International Film Festival.

Here's the thing.

Huo Yaowen, who had been busy for two months, was still about to rest at home for a few more days, but he received a call from Xu Anhua.

"Sweet honey is coming out?"

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, this film has been filmed for a long time, it started shooting at the end of last year, and it has been almost half a year now, and in Hong Kong, this efficiency can be described as low.

Xu Anhua said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Yes, it will be released next month, when I watched the film before, I heard Manager Wen say that you are busy with the establishment of the film award, so I didn't bother you." ”

"The first two days were quite busy, but now I have time. ”

Some time ago, Huo Yaowen was indeed very busy and had been dealing with the affairs of the Film Association. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the cinema when the time comes." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Xu Anhua is looking forward to it in her heart, she really wants the teacher to see the movie she made, but she is worried that the film is not good enough.
