This year's Academy Awards are for the second time.

It is still the deadline for the film to be selected on December 31, and the shortlist will be released around January 15.

But considering that this year's Spring Festival is relatively early, the 24th is Chinese New Year's Eve, so the Academy Awards Organizing Committee announced a few days ago that the second Academy Awards ceremony will be held in early February, so that everyone will have more time.

To say that the first Xiangjiang Film Awards last year, the results are still good, although it is not as influential as the Baodao Golden Horse Awards, and it is not as long as the history, but its selection focuses on Chinese films, and with the continuous strength of Xiangjiang films, the Xiangjiang Film Awards can only become more and more prosperous.

Last year's movies in Hong Kong were also wonderful.

There is not only the box office hit "Life and Death", but also the word-of-mouth and box office "Prison, Prison", as well as the new "Mr. Zombie", the amazing "Jinyiwei" made by Zhang Ce's old tree and new flowers, and the spy film "Best Partner" that imitates the 007 series, and Cheng Long also learned from Yin Jun, relying on "Red Fan District" to enter the global market and achieve a lot of achievements.

Although these scripts are all written by Yin Jun, it seems a little embarrassing, but Yin Jun is a genius in the first place, and there is nothing to say about geniuses who have made such great achievements.

In contrast, the 1981 Treasure Island movie is slightly inferior, and it is estimated that there will be about 8 movies for selection, and they are basically literary films.

This is also just right, so as not to affect the purity of film art if there are too many commercial films.

As the chairman of the organizing committee of the Academy Awards, Guan Yi was very busy after New Year's Day, and many crews, including those from Baodao, were feasting him, hoping to get a little inside information.

Although Guan Yi basically doesn't care about things, he is Yin Jun's father-in-law, and if he says a word in it, maybe he can change the tendency of the award?

Wen Jun, the executive chairman, is also invited by many people, but Wen Jun, the little fat man, is very cunning, he eats and drinks what he should eat, but he doesn't say a word that he shouldn't say, and people can't get a word of truth from his mouth.

This is not to blame Wen Xiaopang, if he says it quickly, he will offend Jun Shao, can he bear such consequences?

In fact, Wen Jun knows at best the approximate number of votes for the specific primary election, but if the list of candidates comes out, the second round of voting is not something that Wen Jun can see, at most he only knew on the day of the award ceremony.

Prior to this, the verification and counting of votes were jointly undertaken by the most prominent law firms and accounting firms in Hong Kong, ensuring absolute confidentiality.

This was the case last year, when many people still felt that Yin Jun was making too much of a fuss, but after such a year of interpretation and pondering, everyone felt more and more that this would ensure that the award was fair enough, and it would give people a lot of uncertainties and increase the tension at the award ceremony.

There are also reporters who want to interview Yin Jun, but Yin Jun's statement on this is that he doesn't know anything, he doesn't care about anything, how to organize it is the business of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, and how to select it is a matter for a series of film experts, reporters, and critics, and his only role in the Academy Awards is to sign a broadcast contract with them and provide a little financial support.

At the end of the year before the Hong Kong Film Awards, before it was held, it signed a five-year TV broadcast agreement with Kylin TV.

Kylin Satellite TV bought the TV broadcast rights at a sky-high price of 30 million Hong Kong dollars per year.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that this is a loss-making business, such a fledgling film festival, 5 million is not worth it.

But the Xiangjiang Academy Awards were proposed by Yin Jun, and it is normal for him to come to support the show and give sufficient funds.

When the news was disclosed at the time, the Golden Horse Awards on Treasure Island was a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred.

There is a big guy behind the support, it's really different!

There are so many Golden Horse Awards on our side, and we will often have a difficult birth due to financial problems, and you are here for 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really rich!

Not to mention, with such 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee is indeed wealthy, in addition to the daily office, they are also very generous to the filmmakers and crews who come to Xiangjiang, usually a three-day high-end hotel and round-trip air tickets are all-inclusive.

In the local area of Xiangjiang, the money cannot be spent in this regard, but in the layout and scale of the award ceremony, it is also very luxurious and magnificent, which makes people feel classy at a glance.

Then there is the celebration party after the awards ceremony, which is directly a floor of the Peninsula Hotel, which can only be done by having deep pockets.

Even each of the judges who participated in the selection sent some exquisite gifts along with the selection votes, including high-end pens and so on.

When the organizing committee of the Academy Awards has money, the possibility of favoritism and receiving benefits for the award is greatly reduced.

It's not that no one doubts that Yin Jun will be the most cared for, but last year's results show that the films led by Yin Jun are not necessarily winners, and those judges make selection changes every year based on their reviews.

Besides, their relationship with Yin Jun is not very good, especially the group of film critics in newspapers and magazines, they rely on the newspaper they eat to be called a fierce hammer by the "Qilin Daily", it is not good to suppress the Qilin movies are kind, how can they take care of Yin Jun's movies?

Yin Jun didn't say any polite words.

In fact, he doesn't pay attention to the Academy Awards, and that's the biggest care.

Otherwise, if he wants to say a few words, I'm afraid it will still affect the tendency of the award.

But what's the point?

Is a film award that was unfair from the beginning as notorious as 30 years later as Yin Jun wants to see?

Yin Jun wishes that everyone was on equal footing, and he fought to the death at every Academy Awards, which proves that Xiangjiang and even Chinese films are very prosperous, and they are not a monopoly or a lonely family.

The movies made by other film companies are good, but this can make Kylin Film Company vigilant and keep working hard, so as not to be robbed of honor by others, and he will not have the face to see others.

It's just that even a girl like Guan Zhilin, who doesn't care about money, also asked Yin Jun, is the annual sponsorship of 30 million a bit too much?

She thought that Yin Jun was for her father's shirt, so she took out so much money.

In Guan Zhilin's opinion, there is really no need for this.

Originally, Guan Shirt had made a lot of money in the past few years, and Yin Jun had given him a lot of drama appointments before, and he didn't dare to say that there were more than three or five hundred thousand yuan every year.

Not to mention that Guan Yi made two movies given by Yin Jun, the money earned in the first part was given to the family, but the millions made in the second part were given to the little vixen.

Now just to let Guan Yi enjoy the vanity of the chairman of the organizing committee of the Academy Awards, he gave 30 million, and the cost is really too great.

Yin Jun's most painful thing was Guan Zhilin, so he naturally explained it carefully to her.

Although the Xiangjiang Film Awards are motivated by Guan Jiao, the continuation of this award is a great good thing for Xiangjiang's film industry, so this is the most important purpose of sponsoring 30 million every year.

As for the question of losses, I can't say much.

Now the Academy Awards are not famous, but if the Academy Awards are well-known throughout Asia, then referring to the Hollywood Oscars, the sponsorship fees of major brand manufacturers are very considerable, and it is easy to earn back.

Hearing Yin Jun's explanation, Guan Zhilin reluctantly accepted it.

The teenager naturally wouldn't tell her that his Academy Awards, and now the selection of movies from Baodao and Xiangjiang is only the first step.

In the future, when the mainland is opened, all the excellent films in the mainland can be released and awarded in Xiangjiang, and then it will be called a lively and prosperous place.

Compared with various awards such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in China, there are a lot of mothers-in-law above, and there are no just and fair vices at all, and the Xiangjiang Academy Awards are not so easy to be interfered with by official forces.

However, in the future, we can't let the judges of Xiangjiang only choose, and it is really a bit biased to decide the awards of film works in the entire two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places with the judges of one place.

Yin Jun plans to increase the number of mainland judges after mainland films join, and those from Baodao can also join, so it should be better for everyone to vote together.

Naturally, between the two sides of the strait and the three places, there will definitely be some huddles for warmth and intrigue, which is naturally indispensable in a society with people.

But if the coordination is good, and the judges are all artistically accomplished, the problem should not be very big.

At that time, those unprofessional reporters and film critics would be excluded by Yin Jun.

More people are joining in, directors, producers, screenwriters, etc., real industry insiders, film critics, newspaper and magazine editors, etc., the quota should not occupy more than one-third.

How to operate it specifically, it must be a relatively long exploration process, and there is still time, so don't panic.

Just a little.

From the very beginning, the Academy Awards must appear in front of people with the most innocent attitude, and there can be no exchange of interests, which will lead to the situation that the award is taken away by others.

From the very beginning, the Academy Awards should also find a balance between art and commerce, rather than simply appreciating art films, but rejecting those films that the general public likes, which is another extreme, which is not conducive to the development of films at all.

The reason for the decline of the Xiangjiang Academy Awards in the previous life is that on the one hand, they are resting on their laurels and playing their own games, on the other hand, their selection is becoming more and more niche, which is contrary to the public, and it is strange that they can arouse everyone's love and attention!

You look at the old men in Hollywood, they are just as stubborn, but they dare to award awards to commercial blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings".

Even Hollywood can look for change, so why can't the nascent Hong Kong Academy Awards do better from the start?
