Chapter 155: Losing Money, You're Serious (3/5)
The greatest pride of the people of Taiwan should be their democracy and independent spirit!
The unsealing of this spirit can be traced back to Comrade Jianfeng.
In 85, he ordered the demolition of the statue of his father, and Comrade Jianfeng himself did have an idealistic side, plus the environment on the island and the international community and other reasons.
Only then did the world-famous Wanwan Political Martial Arts Scolding Street Championship be unblocked, giving a group of people who had forgotten their ancestors a chance.
87 years later, the "Wanwan Safety Law" came into effect, and in the same year, Wanwan announced that some people would be allowed to visit relatives in the mainland, ending the situation that compatriots on both sides of the strait did not interact with each other for nearly 40 years.
So that the two sides of the strait began to break the ice...
To a certain extent, this has promoted the development of investment in the mainland.
Economic development and policy loosening will bring the first cultural exchange...
In a sense, the rapid development of the mainland's entertainment industry largely depends on the development of the market by these people!
In terms of treatment, it is naturally impossible to be too good!
Wu Jing in "Tai Chi Grandmaster", in addition to filming, did all kinds of chores for the crew...
This is understandable, just as if we went to aid Africa, it is impossible to give them high treatment!
However, the current situation has been completely reversed, and a high-minded posture is still put on a high posture to show anyone
The Ministry of Culture hoped that Yuehua would have more exchanges and cooperation with Taiwan Cultural Institutions and make a film acceptable to both sides of the strait, but he directly refused!
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's impossible!
What is acceptable to both sides of the strait, what to shoot
Sedek Bale
Seriously, compared with Lao Mou, Wei Desheng is more than a star and a half worse!
Singing praises without a bottom line, that's called lewdness!
In terms of economic benefits, Zhang Junsheng is also reluctant to make this kind of epic film...
……
"Beijing News": "This year's Golden Horse Awards can be described as a gathering of strong films, including "Crazy Racing", which is also a big production called "Crazy Racing", as well as "Can't Do Without You", "Bullfighting" and other art genre films...
In comparison, Hong Kong movies seem to be a little lonely...
"Witness" and "Ip Man" can only compete for Best Actor and Best Action Design at most!"
The big media in the mainland affirmed Zhang Junsheng's first trip to the Golden Horse!
Xu Jiping, a reporter for China Film News, published a commentary commenting on the article: "... The Golden Horse Awards have lowered the language threshold for participating films since 03, stipulating that as long as there is "the main language or dialect spoken in the Chinese region" in the film, it can participate in the competition, in an effort to revive the Golden Horse Awards. In recent years, the Golden Horse Awards have become a veritable No. 1 Chinese award with its strong credibility, Zhang Junsheng is already a new benchmark for mainland films, he went to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, representing that the Golden Horse Awards are already the Oscars of the Chinese film industry..."
Zhou Huaiang, a well-known reporter of "Southern People Weekly", made a detailed analysis of the award:
"This Golden Horse Awards, it is very likely that Yuehua's family is dominant! "The Wind" has not been released yet, but Zhang Junsheng has never disappointed!"
"The two films "Crazy Racing" and "Bullfighting" also represent the highest level of commercial films and literary films in the mainland, and I am not surprised that Rao Xiaozhi or Guan Yu won the Golden Horse Award!"
"Best Actor, Wang Bo is outstanding, and his performance in "Bullfighting" is worthy of being the Cannes actor!"
"Best Actress, Zhou Xun and Xu Yan were nominated for Best Actress at the same time, I am optimistic about Zhou Gongzi's second Golden Horse;"
"Teacher Wang Xueqi won two Best Supporting Actors for "Mei Lanfang" and "Sword Rain", this award should be stable..."
"The best supporting actress should be Zhang Ziyi, Meng Xiaodong in "Mei Lanfang", she played so well!"
At this time, Zhang Junsheng was changing clothes...
On the third day of arriving in Taiwan Bend, before the opening of the Golden Horse Awards, Yuehua chartered the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel and held a cross-strait filmmaker exchange meeting...
……
Although the most important thing of the Golden Horse Awards is the award ceremony, every time in the three to five days before the award, Wanwan has other related film festival activities, and every Golden Horse Award can actually be regarded as a huge commercial expansion event for Chinese films to be listed.
Many filmmakers in Southeast Asia will come to the show in advance.
Privately, it will also lead to a number of film sales and cooperation.
Yuehua doesn't attach much importance to the Golden Horse Film Festival, they have their own channels, and "The Wind" has long been sold to Southeast Asia...
The overseas copyrights of "Rain of Swords" and "Bullfight" add up to $10 million...
The reason why the party was held was entirely because Zhang Junsheng was in a good mood!
Didn't you let me speak, Lao Tzu just wanted to speak!
The capital is the largest, and many filmmakers who lose money have participated in the party held by Yuehua...
In fact, Zhang Junsheng's popularity in Taiwan is very high!
Mainly because of the money - the richest man in the mainland!
Yuehua controls 18% of the theater chain in the mainland and has the most powerful distribution capacity, and a group of filmmakers who want to make money will certainly not miss such an opportunity!
"Director Zhang, in fact, our bending movies are good, are you interested in introducing a few films from your company to the mainland to see the effect?"
Apparently not to congratulate him, but to find a way...
The market is too small!
Since 1989, Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness" won the Venice Golden Lion Award, and achieved a box office of 100 million Taiwan dollars in Wanwan, and the battle between Wanwan's new film art and box office has reached its peak.
As a result, in order to support local filmmakers, the government set up a film grant, which, like the mainland, became the driving force for the so-called New Wave directors with a "heart of literature and art" to achieve their goals.
Now, these "literary films" that even the crooked filmmakers themselves can't understand want to test the waters in the mainland, which really makes people laugh and cry.
Zhang Junsheng smiled but didn't answer, and talked about other topics, such as climate, such as crooked food...
"Director Zhang, the first time I watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", I was shocked!"
"I can't believe you're only 26..."
"Director Zhang, Yuehua needs to have any good roles for the next work, and we have a lot of good people here"
In a corner of the party hall, Zhang Junsheng was "bombarded repeatedly" by these big names in the crooked entertainment industry, saying hello or laughing and talking, this person just walked away, and the next person or couple walked up, he kept talking to them, saying thank you, and his faces kept changing.
Most of the people he didn't know much...
After the golden period of New Wave films has passed, Wanwan Films is still obsessed with the invincible abyss of literary films and cannot extricate themselves, and the general trend is that commercial films are degenerate, and in recent years, investment has been smaller than a year...
Many local directors in Taiwan are living on millions of NT$ film grants, they take 10 million funds, make 8 million movies, and then leave 2 million to live, and the movies they make are all indoors, set up a few tables, invite a few famous actors, and make a "restaurant movie" literary film, which has formed a normal state of survival.
Such a person, you let Zhang Junsheng know
"Director Zhang has watched "Can't Do Without You""
Zhang Junsheng turned his head, he was a middle-aged man with a gray-haired Chinese face.
Tang Ningyu whispered: "This is Director Wang Tong... Be careful!"
