Chapter 779 ["Lifting Shoes" Golden Image Award]
This tone
In the previous life, in 2011, Wang Jianlin, the top richest man in China at that time, the "national father-in-law", just spent 2.6 billion US dollars to bring AMC, the second largest cinema chain in the United States, under its umbrella.
This move caused great controversy at the time.
As for the reason for the controversy, the main reason is that the AMC in the United States is quite satisfied with the price, while the Chinese people generally believe that Wang Jianlin is "a fool with a lot of money" and that it is not worth buying a "hot potato" with a lot of money, so the interview began.
Guest: "This nearly 3000000000000 US dollars, real money, where did you come from so much money?"
Wang Jianlin explained that Wanda Group only spent $700 million in cash, plus the $1.9 billion debt taken on by AMC Cinemas, for a total of $2.6 billion.
But many people don't know that AMC Cinemas itself has cash, and it also holds shares in another company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so the merger and acquisition cost 2 billion dollars.
"What does it mean (to acquire nearly $3 billion)?"
Wang Jianlin looked at the guest, and then said seriously, "It can't be said to be trivial, that would be too crazy, then it can be said to be medium!"
The host also sighed heartily: "What is the meaning of wealth, I feel it!"
"Rich and rich", "inhumane in the trenches", "plucking leg hair is thicker than one's own waist", "The world of rich people, we don't understand." ”
At that time, after the broadcast of this interview by the "National Father-in-law", it immediately caused a huge "sensation" in the whole of China, and caused wave after wave of impact on the hearts of countless ordinary working people.
Wanda Group also began to make a name for itself throughout China.
In the 21st century, when prices change by a number, the more than 2 billion US dollars, the small meaning in Wang Jianlin's mouth, allows people to get a glimpse of the world of the "richest man".
In the Xiangjiang of the 80s, the small meaning of hundreds of millions, billions, in fact, the impact is not smaller than the "medium meaning" of "national father-in-law".
At least, for Anne, she really didn't know how to answer.
Her family, as far as Xiangjiang is concerned, is considered wealthy, otherwise, she would not have been able to stay abroad for so many days when she was a teenager without worrying about financial problems.
However, the "rich" of their family does not seem to be at the same level as the "little meaning" in the man's mouth.
Of course, in Anne's heart, she actually doesn't have any thoughts about it, because "there is no shortage of money", so a woman's attitude towards "money" is also quite "pure".
Simplely, I feel a little unable to answer because of the man's "little meaning".
"Okay, then Ah Xuan, we're ready to prepare, we can go. ”
Seeing the breezy look on the face of the man in front of her, who looked "really" and "trivially", Bai Annie didn't want to say much on this topic.
For "buying and selling", Anne is not very interested in it.
Moreover, compared with "buying and selling", it is obvious that the "Academy Awards Ceremony" that she and Mo Xuan will attend tonight is a little more "intense" in women's interest.
Academy Awards, Awards Ceremony.
In 1982, the year when Mo Xuan had just crossed over, the Xiangjiang Film Awards were founded.
Five years ago, in 1979, Film Fortnightly, which later became the authoritative magazine in the Hong Kong film industry, was born to create reports and reviews on the film industry.
At that time, Hong Kong films had developed to a certain scale and occupied a place in Asia and even the world, and "Xiangjiang Films", like "Jin Yong Martial Arts", were popular in Southeast Asia.
Every year, "Hong Kong Movies" will be released in Southeast Asia, so "Southeast Asia" has become a big box office for Hong Kong movies.
However, despite the rapid development of Xiangjiang films at that time, Shaw Brothers Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company dominated the world, and good movies emerged in an endless stream throughout the year.
However, in such a glorious situation, the entire Xiangjiang film industry does not have a film festival that belongs to itself and belongs to the filmmakers of Xiangjiang, and there is not even an official organization of the filmmakers themselves.
As a result, the idea of a "big order" was born.
With its concern and sense of responsibility for the film industry, Film Fortnight organized a group of filmmakers to select the outstanding films and outstanding filmmakers of the year, and from 1982, that is, the year before, it cooperated with Radio Television Hong Kong to hold an official award ceremony.
Chen Baisheng is the founder and representative of "Film Fortnightly".
Since then, the Academy Awards will be held every year as scheduled.
The aim is to recognize outstanding filmmakers through selection and awards.
At the same time, it reviews the achievements of films in the past year, hoping to promote the prosperity of Hong Kong films, improve the production level of filmmakers and the appreciation level of audiences. This is the origin of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, which has a very high influence and authoritative position in the Chinese film industry.
That, of course, is the status in a few years, ten years, or even twenty years.
As for the present, the Xiangjiang Film Awards are just a "small point".
Not to mention that it is on a par with other international awards, even if it is with the Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan Island, to tell the truth "really", the current Xiangjiang Film Awards, the Golden Horse Awards, and the shoes are not very qualified.
This, just from the previous two years, the shabby appearance of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, you can see it really.
In the 21st century, there is a memoir about Chen Baisheng, the "founder of the Xiangjiang Film Awards" and the "founder of the Film Biweekly", on the Internet.
In it, it is written:
Back then, the joke "Can we make it bigger" gave birth to today's star-studded Xiangjiang film event.
I remember that at that time, "Film Fortnightly" was launched in January 1979, and at the beginning of each year, film critics were invited to select the top ten Chinese films and top ten foreign language films of the past year.
At the beginning of 1982, when the editorial office was discussing the selection of the "Top 10," I suddenly burst out, "Can we make it bigger?"
Although the editorial board was divided at the time, the conclusion was that "it might as well give it a try".
With the human and financial resources of "Film Fortnightly" back then, it was impossible to hold an award ceremony, so I could only find helpers, and finally invited Xiangjiang Radio to co-organize.
However, the cooperation with RTHK was not pleasant, at that time we were very resistant to government officials as award presenters, and we were not satisfied with some of RTHK's style, and the next year we had to find another partner.
Under the introduction of another partner, I found Sing Tao Newspaper.
It was the 60th anniversary of Sing Tao, and I wanted to hold a sho commemorative event. But at that time, I wanted to make a big sho and didn't want to fake my hands to others, so naturally I couldn't stir up good things, so I made many mistakes and omissions, and was criticized.
So, both sides
