"The Three Continents Film Festival in Nantes Celebrates Chinese Cinema!Hong Kong Island's New Wave Film 'The Birth of a Word' Wins Multiple Awards!"
"'The Birth of a Word' won the Best Director and the Golden Balloon Award! Western filmmakers are breathtaking!" - Sing Tao Daily
"Last night, at 20 o'clock, at the Francis de France Film Festival, the Hong Kong Island film "The Birth of a Word" won three awards!
The French Association of Art Films and Experiments called this film a rare cinematic exploration in recent years.
This is another innovation in the language of film, in terms of film structure, narrative and lens, this film is a rare masterpiece in the film industry in 1986 ......" - "New Evening News"
Just when "Crazy Boy" was filming intensely, Jiang Zhiqiang won the Golden Balloon Award, the Best Director Award, and the recent photography and music awards in one go.
This award itself is indeed not particularly eye-catching, but it can't stand Jiang Er's lack of money?
The next day, a number of major newspapers on Hong Kong Island had photos of Chiang Chi-keung holding three trophies. If you look closely, you will find that the background of the photo is actually aimed at Victoria Harbour!
The name of 1024 Locomotive United Antai Pictures pulled a red banner next to it, which was particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Ershao's small body held three trophies, standing in Victoria Harbor without love, holding the banners of the two film companies in his hands, and posing in a concave shape + taking a make-up photo of this photo.
Then without waiting for Jiang Ershao to resist, this group of photos appeared in the tofu blocks of various newspaper supplements. The printing is not clear, which makes many citizens think that someone "won three yuan" to receive a bonus!
But in any case, in this way, it did harvest a batch of attention. It is also in line with Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang's plan for the next release in the Wanwan market.
The Wanwan entertainment industry especially likes to pursue the popularity of Hong Kong Island at this time, and "The Birth of a Word" not only sold well at the box office on Hong Kong Island, but also won awards one after another, which naturally and very well promoted the release of this film in Wanwan in the future.
…
Although the Nantes Tricontinentals Film Festival is only in its seventh year, it was held purely by French filmmakers to facilitate the exchange of films from the three continents, which is commonly known as black intermediaries......
The Jarádou brothers are famous French film promoters.
The Nantes Tricontinentals Film Festival belongs to the Cannes Film Festival, and many directors from third world international companies have been favored by Nantes intermediaries, and after a little training, they are pushed to Cannes for their debut.
The competition for the descendants of the film festival is no worse than that of the sports competition circle, and the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival also have their own horses and teams.
These small film festivals are like "youth camps" for several major film festivals. Constantly cultivating their own top cards.
The Nantes Three Continents Intermediary Training Base has indeed cultivated a lot of top brands with charming tassels. For example, Hou Xiaoyuan next to Wu Xiaozu, including Chairman Jia and Zhang Banban in later generations, have also been supported and praised by Nantes.
In the Chinese film industry, in terms of awards, Wang Sunglasses is not out, who can compete with Hou for money?
The fifth generation in the mainland has only begun to "stand up" in front of the world, and the second generation and leading brother Chen Kaige is taking the swarthy and dry bean-like partner Zhang Yimou to join hands with "Yellow Earth" to the international stage.
Tian Shousian, Huang Jianxin and others are also like chances.
At this time, Director Wu was treated differently by Nantes, and when no one was present, he directly sent a newbie super value gift package: Golden Balloon Award, Best Director and Best Cinematography Music Award.
Therefore, after Jiang Zhiqiang came back, he raised his eyebrows at Wu Xiaozu and said, "Don't stop me, I have to blow 50,000 yuan!"
Then, the newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan all appeared in the award-winning news of "The Birth of a Word". Although it is not a front page, it has also attracted the attention of many filmmakers and movie lovers.
Taking advantage of this trend, Wanwan's scholar film company directly launched "The Birth of a Word"!
Wu Xiaozu's name has entered the eyes of the people of Wanwan for the second time, but this is the first time that the serious news is true!
The Nantes Tricontinentals Film Festival is not a magnet for attention.
Then as the New Year approached, the top ten Chinese-language films of 1986 launched by Hong Kong Island's most famous and professional film publication, "Film Fortnightly", pushed Wu Xiaozu into the eyes of ordinary people.
"The Birth of a Word" was selected as one of the top ten Chinese films of the year.
The Top 10 films were founded in 1981 by Cinema Fortnight magazine and voted for by countless film critics on Hong Kong Island.
The "Top Ten Chinese Films" and "Top Ten Foreign Language Films" of the year were selected. The selection is based on the films screened on Hong Kong Island this year.
This selection has attracted a lot of attention in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, and it has also been sought after by many movie fans once it was launched.
Every year, many movie fans argue with each other because their favorite movies were not selected.
The most controversial was in the second 1982, when the epoch-making point of "Shaolin Temple" was ignored by film critics, which can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves for a while, and also produced a well-known newspaper debate in the Hong Kong Island film circle.
It's a pity that the critics also have a good reason: the film is too commercial.
The question is that even movies such as "Best Partner", "Loser", "Eighteen Martial Arts", and "Qimen Dunjia" could be selected, and are there any films with a stronger commercial atmosphere than these films?
It is not so much that "Shaolin Temple" is too commercial, but that the Hong Kong Island film industry discriminates against mainland films.
The exclusion of the Hong Kong Island film industry is not very obvious to filmmakers who really make movies in a down-to-earth manner. The most exclusive are the film critics with the pen. If they are not xenophobic, how can they manifest themselves as ox forks?
To borrow a sentence from the later director Gao Qunshu: When has a Chinese film ever had a professional film critic......?
This time, "The Birth of a Word" was selected as one of the top ten Chinese films, and there was also some controversy among film critics. Not because of the controversy of the film.
"The Birth of a Word" is here, and if you want to be black, you must first weigh your physique. What's more, there is also the care of Yu Cheng, the female hanging boss.
The most controversial is Wu Xiaozu's first debut film - "The Butcher on a Rainy Night"!
This movie can actually be regarded as creating a branch of Hong Kong Island film genre films, and "Mr. Zombie" was able to fight for a position with pioneering genre films, and "Butcher on a Rainy Night" naturally deserves a place!
But alas......
There are a total of ten movies, Wu Xiaozu, a newcomer, wants to occupy two seats at once, what about the rest?
Do they want to lose face?
Therefore, "Butcher on a Rainy Night" was squeezed down. This is understandable. Besides, Wu Xiaozu didn't care much about this, his mind was all on the filming of the film......
He doesn't care, but someone does!
