Chapter 133: War Without Gunpowder
A month later, Sister Hua came to visit the class and told her to go to Treasure Island the day after tomorrow?
"You don't think that Sister Hua can only eat in the mainland, right?" Sister Hua looked at Ding Cheng's surprised expression, and scolded with a smile: "I've been mixed for thirty or forty years, can I have this connection?"
"Guan Hu is not stupid, the stage has been set up, you are shortlisted for Best Actor, can I, the agent, stand by and watch?"
"Rest assured, any so-called awards ceremony in the world has an insider, but some of them are high-level and high-end. ”
Ding Cheng nodded, Guan Hu called yesterday and reported the good news that the bullfight was awesome this time, not only shortlisted for Best Actor, but also Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and even Best Action Design......
It's a grand slam!
Of course, there are cannon fodder, and the most important thing is the best actor and best director. Sister Hua looked at Ding Cheng and said seriously: "I'll leave tomorrow, this time my sister will definitely work hard to let your kid come back with an actor!"
After all, it is one of the three major heavyweight awards in China, and Ding Cheng heard that the most important thing before the start of the judging meeting was that everyone handed over their mobile phones and the dresses that needed to be changed at the evening award ceremony to the staff of Golden Horse.
Because once the meeting starts, all the judges will be imprisoned in the hotel room until they are escorted to the venue. Whenever you need to go to the toilet or smoke, you will be accompanied by staff throughout the process, and there is absolutely no opportunity to gossip with unrelated people.
It wasn't until the last award, Best Picture, was handed out that the staff sent their phones back. There is a kind of waiting to be released from prison, and there is a sense of time travel as if it is a world away, and I don't know what time it is.
"The judging process is divided into three rounds: primary, secondary and final. Among them, there are four categories in the primary selection, feature films, documentaries, animated films and short films. ”
Sister Hua explained: "The job of the primary selection review is to eliminate bad films from the hundreds of submitted films and select a list of candidates that can be nominated. ”
"A few years ago, I was invited to do a preliminary review of a feature film, and I worked more like a film festival selector, picking out the best films from a crowd of films. ”
"Although the primary selection is far from the final award-winning results, it is the most important and tiring part. Because so many films have to be watched within a certain period of time, and you can't miss the gold, the requirements for physical strength and technology are higher, and a negligence may lead to the loss of pearls. ”
"Moreover, everyone faces the films of the cross-strait three places, as well as the diaspora of Singapore and Malaysia, with a huge and complex cultural background, and they also need to be vigilant against the inertia and limitations of their own culture, and try to abandon colored glasses and stereotypes. ”
After watching the 100 films, the primary judges gathered at the Golden Horse office in Taipei to discuss and vote for all the films that entered the second round. ”
"Although there are no specific nominations involved in this round, the contributions of certain films in specific categories such as action design, visual design, new directors and so on will also be considered. ”
Ding Cheng really didn't expect that Sister Hua would actually participate in the Golden Horse review?
"It can be said that each link is decided by the judges, discussion and voting, and neither the organizing committee nor the official has any room to interfere. All the selection process will be recorded, and multi-faceted evidence will be preserved through ballots, videos, on-site lawyers, etc. ”
This is why the Golden Horse Host Committee has vowed that the external publicity will not be interfered with by any non-film factors, after the primary election, the second selection is composed of 11 judges, this year from outside the treasure island, including many mainland invited veterans, and even covering people from various professional fields. ”
"In the re-selection stage, I basically watched four or five films a day, and the hotel room and the test room were two points and one line in more than two weeks. Although in terms of the amount of films watched, the reselection is much easier than the primary selection, but the reselection also has the labor of the reselection, such as obviously seeing the input, but having to always remind yourself to pay attention to the non-explicit departments such as sound effects and visual effects. ”
"The only good thing is that the food is good, I remember that I gained seven or eight pounds at that time, and I didn't even have to go to the night market. ”
"The most important thing in the re-election is a nomination meeting, which will be held on the day the nominations are announced. Starting at 8:30 a.m., everyone discussed until all the nominations were chosen. ”
"I watched the chairman of the presiding committee rush to the press conference with the list. Judges will not be able to leave the room until after the nomination presentation begins. ”
"The discussion in the nomination meeting is actually more intense than the final award meeting, there are five nominations for each award, and the last two are often very heated because of the similar level. ”
"The six finalists and the eleven re-selection judges make up the 17 votes for the final award, on the one hand, most of them are seniors, and on the other hand, after the nomination process, the re-selection knows each other's tendencies, such as the bottom line of C and L, and basically knows each other. ”
"This is the key to the game, all kinds of new ideas and variables, so that the ammunition prepared in advance does not work as planned, and the former allies can become enemies!"
"I remember when I sang to the nine votes, all kinds of life were more exciting than movies. ”
"Until after four o'clock in the afternoon, the dust settled on all the awards. The venue returned to stability and peace, and the people who grabbed the toilet grabbed the toilet, smoked and smoked, changed clothes, drank coffee, told jokes, and ate shrimp siu mai, in short, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and there was harmony. ”
Ding Cheng nodded, there are cats and accidents in any competition, and every award has luck and strength. Since bullfighting can be shortlisted for so many awards, at least it will not go home empty-handed.
It is estimated that Guan Hu has made a lot of contributions, this time because she is the male protagonist, Sister Hua will not stand idly by, and there are only nine Golden Horse actors in the mainland now, last time it was Director Feng's old cannon, and the director is also Guan Hu.
Once born, second ripe, not to mention that this time there is also the best director shortlisted, I believe that the big bald head will definitely work hard.
Counting the list of winners of the Golden Horse Awards, starting from "Sunny Days" in 1996, mainland filmmakers such as Xia Yu and Jiang Wen began to appear on the list of the Golden Horse Awards, and then Liu Ye's "Lan Yu" and then Qin Hailu's "Durian Piao" have continuously appeared on the list of winners.
In the past ten years, the era of the mainland's big flower has officially begun, and the two major Bingbing, Zhou Gongzi, and even the questionable double yolk egg queen, show that the influence of mainland films in Jinma is increasing.
Of course, it is also because the level of Treasure Island is getting worse and worse, and the box office market has shrunk on a large scale, which has led to many directors and screenwriters coming to the mainland to develop, not only for it, but also for Hong Kong Island.
Ding Cheng didn't ask Sister Hua how to operate, this is not his concern. To tell the truth, it is best to win the award, and I have suffered a lot for the movie, which is a painstaking work.
In case you don't win the award, you can actually accept it, after all, you are still young, and you can count with your fingers, and there are more than a dozen actresses and actresses, the youngest of whom is over forty, and Director Feng is more than sixty years old before he is crowned emperor.
What's the hurry?
