Chapter 841: Golden Rooster

I don't know the inside story of this, Song Zheng still feels that he can't be blind, but after knowing it, he can't be calm, he dares to go around and around, and it is the old man Liu who follows him against him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This old thing is really ghostly, I can't toss it myself, and I have brought out a generation of speakers!

Song Zheng is not a person who can bear it, after the news that "No Man's Land" did not pass the trial was exposed, he was also blocked by a reporter and asked about it.

"What can I think? The right to speak is not in my hands, if you want to ask me why "No Man's Land" has not passed the trial, I can't answer, because we haven't gotten an exact reason until now, we heard a person named Zhao Baohua shouting on the Internet, what does it mean to lose the social knowledge of a filmmaker, if he really has this public knowledge, he should tell me clearly, tell Ning Hao, why "No Man's Land" was killed, can you say it!?"

Reporters listen, the collective is high, this is what they want, compared to Song Zheng, Ning Hao is too soft, before interviewing Ning Hao, Ning Hao has always been tight-lipped and asked anxiously, but he only said that he was still coordinating.

Song Zheng is different, this grandson is helping the muzzle of the cannon!

In fact, this is also what Song Zheng has told a long time ago, Ning Hao can't rush to the front, if there is anything, he will stand up to it, even if it is a verbal fight, he will make the first move.

"I think as a member of the jury, I can understand their work, they want to clean up the film market, which is understandable, but if a person's heart is crooked, I don't think he is qualified to enter this institution that holds the power of life and death, which is too dangerous for us ordinary filmmakers!"

The reporters knew that the show was about to start, and they all looked at Song Zheng attentively, waiting for him to continue firing.

"It's not easy for us filmmakers to make a movie, as an investor, all I threw into it was real money, and every ticket was not printed with the Jade Emperor, but I can't pass it, I can't pass it, I don't even have a reason, my own theater can't be released, what is this called!? If you really think that if this film is taken to the cinema and released, it will have a bad impact, then it's okay, please point it out, that point is not good, what is the reason, as long as your reason makes sense, we can change it, and continuous improvement can make the Chinese film industry progress, but there is no reason, so we will kill the film that the filmmakers have worked so hard to make, which is too irresponsible!"

The reporters were stunned when they heard this, they dared to say this, Feng Cannon was not so fierce!

Song Zheng seemed to be unsatisfied, but the reporter didn't dare to let him say it again, not because he didn't want to make this matter bigger, but if Song Zheng said something fiercely, they wouldn't be able to send a press release at that time, and they would all be busy in vain.

Then a reporter asked about Song Zheng's new film.

"The later stage of my film will be finished soon, and I will also send it for review, if I really have the ability, I will kill this film!"

If you have the ability, you will be killed!

The sentence that suddenly burst out of Song Zheng's mouth made the media exclaim, and it also made fans who like him almost jump out of their little hearts.

Ning Hao's much-anticipated new work "No Man's Land" failed to pass the review, which has made countless fans lament again and again, if even Song Zheng's new work is killed, will it make countless fans count their toes at home during the Chinese New Year?

"Sect Master!

These four words have become the longest comments on the Internet in recent times, although countless fans are on his side when "No Man's Land" failed to pass the trial, and the film review committee, especially Zhao Baohua, who jumped out from time to time and followed Song Zheng to fight, was even more scolded by fans The ancestral tomb was cracked.

However, at this critical moment when "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is about to be submitted for trial, Song Zheng's fans still hope that their leader can restrain his emotions a little, at least, don't give those who don't like him a handle.

In fact, Song Zheng also knew that his reaction was a bit excessive, but in the face of Zhao Baohua, who was full of benevolence and morality, and buttoned his big hat at every turn, he really couldn't control it.

If he really couldn't even pass the review of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", Song Zheng wouldn't be playing with those people, and when the time came, he would directly take "No Man's Land" abroad to participate in the film festival to see who hit whom.

However, before the foreign film festival went, the domestic film festival came to the door.

"Are you sure?"

Song Zheng is now holding the invitation letter of the 25th Golden Rooster Awards, speaking of which, Song Zheng has also debuted for several years, and the actors of foreign film festivals have won several, but he is known as the most authoritative and influential Golden Rooster Award in China, and he is invited for the first time.

Those who are familiar with Chinese films know that there are so-called three awards in the Chinese film industry: Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao.

Among them, the Golden Rooster is an expert award, jointly sponsored by the China Film Association and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, once a year, but it seems that it will be changed to once every two years from this year, and the award committee is composed of experts in the film industry, and the awards are voted by those experts, so it is called the "Expert Award".

The Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, which is voted for by the audience and only represents the audience's views and evaluations of the movie.

As the name suggests, the Huabiao Award is a government award, sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and is the highest honorary government award in the Chinese film industry.

It is generally believed that the Golden Rooster Award is the highest award for Chinese films, known as "China's Oscar", but in terms of actual influence, it is definitely not worthy of the name.

The Golden Rooster Award has been criticized for a long time, so that now people who pay attention to the movie have lost interest in complaining about it, look at the Oscars every year, everyone has to move a small bench to watch the English live broadcast, and each award is released on Weibo for a while.

On the contrary, his own Golden Rooster Award has been reduced to only a few media such as those large web portals and government-backed news media, and there are few applicants, which is the same as "other people's awards".

Shang Jie was stunned by Song Zheng's reaction, and said, "What's the matter? What is uncertain, wait, you don't even know the list of nominees announced by the Golden Rooster Awards before, right?"

"This ~~~~~~~~"

Has the Golden Rooster Awards announced its list of nominees?

Not to mention, Song Zheng really didn't care, let alone that he was a busy man, he was in constant trouble before, and when the trouble was gone, he would then have to film again, how could he have time to pay attention to this, even if he was an idle person, I am afraid he didn't know, because no one cared at all.

And the Golden Rooster Award mixed itself into this embarrassing situation that no one cared about, and it was completely self-inflicted.

Speaking of which, the Golden Rooster Award has a long history, and it is traditionally on a par with the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao and the Golden Image Awards in Xiangjiang.

However, today's Golden Rooster Awards are not to say that compared with the Golden Horse Awards, which aim to face Chinese films all over the world, even compared with the Academy Awards, which stick to a corner of the Xiangjiang River, its momentum and prestige are much inferior.

With the strengthening of the development of the Chinese film market, authoritative awards will be paid more and more attention, because it is the standard for measuring creation and guiding the direction of the future, but it is obvious that these are not seen at all from the Golden Rooster Awards.

The Golden Rooster Award has completely lost its credibility, others don't know, but Song Zheng is very clear, because it all starts from this year, starting from this year, the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award are required to be merged into the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Rooster Award is held every single year, and the Hundred Flowers Award is held every two years.

This year is a single year, so it's the turn of the Golden Rooster Award. The Hundred Flowers Award is positioned as a public award, reflecting the preferences of the audience, while the Golden Rooster Award is the so-called expert award, which is judged by professionals. The cycle of the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award has been extended to two years, taking this year's Golden Rooster Award as an example, as long as the film produced between June 2003 and May 2005 can be shortlisted.

It's just ridiculous.

Because film awards are different from awards in the field of literature and science, it has very high requirements for timeliness, and the film itself is a high-speed industry, and front-line directors and actors have new works almost every year, so the award is the most suitable for the year-by-year cycle, and it is best to be a natural year, which is convenient for people's memory and recognition.

And the shortlisted time of this year's Golden Rooster Awards can be traced back to the film in June 2003 at the earliest, who still remembers what film it was at that time?

In addition to timeliness, professionalism is another more important requirement, but this has become the most criticized part of the Golden Rooster Awards, people question that the Golden Rooster Awards are becoming more and more like the Huabiao Awards, and almost all the winners are the main theme movies, and almost no one has seen many films that have been nominated, because they can't enter the theater market.

The nomination and judging mechanism of the Golden Rooster Awards is also not transparent, it is not a collective voting in the industry like the Oscars and Hong Kong Film Awards, it is closer to the small jury system of the Golden Horse and Cannes, but the composition of its jury does not stand up to scrutiny.

Song Zheng has seen the Golden Rooster Award nomination handed over by Shang Jie, and as expected, "On the Taihang Mountain", which was nominated for the best feature film, "Zhang Side" is the main theme movie, and his "Assembly Number" is the main theme movie packaged in a commercial way, only "The Two of Us" has not been released in theaters at all, and the shortlisting of "New Police Story" is completely territorial protection, and the good theme of "Ke Ke Xili" was shot by Lu Chuan, and it seems that "Waiting Alone" is an ordinary film.

It's not that it's bad, but the orientation and taste of this award are unmistakably revealed through the list of nominees, and several domestic films that have received unanimous praise in the past two years, such as "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Hurricane Rescue", "Mobile Phone", etc., are completely absent from the main awards, and there are some obviously bad films and mediocre works that have flaunted the market.

This is a kind of status quo of Chinese films, all awards that are intervened by administrative forces will lose credibility little by little, in contrast, the annual commendation of the China Film Directors Association may be less disturbed, nominations and awards are selected by professional directors, and its standard is not much higher than the Golden Rooster Award.

The current status quo of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, known as the grand festival of Chinese films, is that it will remain stationary or move in a straight line at a uniform speed until it is forced to change this state by greater forces from the film industry itself.

Basically, every session of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will suffer a lot of criticism from all sides, especially after the advent of the Internet era, complaints and abuse from netizens have accompanied the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival through 2004.

As for why he was scolded, the reason is very simple, at last year's Hundred Flowers Award ceremony, Song Zheng, as the annual figure of the year in the Chinese film and television industry, was not invited at all, let alone won the award.

You must know that the Hundred Flowers Award was selected by the audience themselves, how popular Song Zheng is, this does not need to be described at all, but the fact is that Song Zheng didn't even get a single hair.

So, after the end of the Hundred Flowers Award, countless netizens were asking the organizers: Where did Lao Tzu's vote go!?

For this year's Golden Rooster Awards, Song Zheng was invited, and after reading the list of nominees, Song Zheng felt that the organizers of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival were going to completely correct last year's mistakes.

In addition to Best Picture, "The Assembly" also received six other nominations, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Director Art, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound Recording, in addition, "No Thieves" also won six nominations for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Newcomer, Best Soundtrack, and Best Art.

Both movies are related to Song Zheng, but Song Zheng didn't have anything last year, and this year he has gained so much at once, what does the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival mean!?

Does it mean that as an expert award, the judges of the Golden Rooster Award are more professional than the audience who votes for the Hundred Flowers Award?

Song Zheng looked at it and felt that this thing was funny.

Who doesn't know that this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, especially the Golden Rooster Awards, is crazy, it leaks everywhere, and it can make a lot of jokes every time it ends.

Especially every year at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the "double yolk egg" problem that has to appear is questioned every year, but the answer is almost the same every year: the rules will not change, and the double yolk egg will definitely be laid.

"Double yolk eggs" can be said to be common at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, since the first Golden Rooster Awards in 1981, there has been a tie for the best film, and "double yolk eggs" has become a traditional habit, from the earliest speculation whether there will be "double yolk eggs", to which awards will have "double yolk eggs" today, from the earliest "double yolk eggs" to today's n "double yolk eggs", as an expert award for Chinese films, the criticism of "double yolk eggs" has accompanied the Golden Rooster Award all the way and has never stopped.

Nowadays, Chinese films are indeed prospering in both art and market, which is obvious to all, and the public's attention to film awards is also increasing.

This is different from the Hundred Flowers Award for popular films based on the audience's choice, and the Golden Rooster Award reflects the aesthetics and will of the expert jury.

The establishment of the Golden Rooster Award is not only to reward and commend, but more importantly, to enhance the overall level of film art, professionalism and fairness must become the premise, a mature and credible film award activities, must have their own clear value orientation and aesthetic standards, and can not waver.

However, under the double standard of the market and art, the jury has to take care of commercial films while ensuring artistry, so it has to use the rules of "double yolk eggs" to balance the two directions of art and market.

The so-called "double yolk egg" means a draw, and the name of the award is "best", the best means the only one, even if there are two works or two filmmakers who are not equal, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, the responsibility of the jury is to make trade-offs, rather than "playing chess", which reduces the authority and credibility of the "best".

Even if there are special circumstances, we have to make a parallel compromise, at least we can't be proud of the "double yolk eggs", let alone the frequent "double yolk eggs", from the perspective of long-term development, we should have fewer "double yolk eggs" in the future, so that the film awards can become a weather vane, in order to establish authority and characteristics.

Regarding the problem of double yolk eggs, the organizer has also publicly stated: In fact, there are rules for laying double yolk eggs, that is, there can be no more than two double yolk eggs in each award, and three yolk eggs will never be allowed.

Song Zheng is speechless, he didn't make a joke about the three yellow eggs, but he was still extrajudicial!

You must know that the Golden Rooster Award itself is a golden rooster crow, symbolizing the contention of a hundred schools of thought, and inspiring filmmakers to smell the rooster and dance, hence the name Golden Rooster Award.

From 1981, until now, the Golden Rooster Award is already 24 years old, according to human physiology, it should be in a prosperous period, but it turns out that the Golden Rooster Award is going downhill, not only failed to lead the chaotic times of the flood of awards, but was gradually submerged in many awards, and the public's expectation index for it is simply 108,000 miles compared with the first world.

Carefully flipping through the list of winners of the Golden Rooster Awards, you can be surprised to find that the double yolk eggs of the Golden Rooster Award are almost in the world, and even three yolk eggs have really appeared, and even every award has appeared, which can not help but make people doubt its credibility.

Today's Golden Rooster Awards make Song Zheng can't help but think of the sketch "Superborn Guerrilla" co-starred by Huang Hong and Song Dan in the Spring Festival Gala, Hainan Island, Shaolin Temple, Beidaihe, this one by one classic noun comes to mind, isn't the current Golden Rooster Award also a superborn guerrilla, but the difference is that the Golden Rooster Award is often born of twins and triplets, and the role played by Song Danshan is born of twins.

How much expectation does the Golden Rooster Award still have? How much surprise do people still have? It can be said that the Golden Rooster Award today is a veritable superborn guerrilla.

But the organizers never thought it was a joke, and lamented to the media, saying that there are too many movies participating in the evaluation now, so it is a last resort to lay double yolk eggs.

As for whether the current selection rules will make the Golden Rooster Award lose its influence, people said they are not worried, because "in practice, it has been found that the current regulations are most suitable for the current situation of the Chinese film industry." ”

This "status quo", according to some people's interpretation, is that "someone goes through the back door in the selection process".

In fact, the history of the Golden Rooster Awards has not changed, for example, this year's sensational Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award were combined into one, precisely because Chinese films entered a trough in the 90s of the last century, and the number of participating films each year is no longer enough to ensure the smooth holding of the awards, so they can only be forced to combine the two awards and hold them every other year.

But now, the annual output of Chinese films has reached as many as three or four hundred, and if you still say that "it is most in line with the current situation of the Chinese film industry", it can only be said that the Film Association is a bit "ostrichistic".

In addition to the cliché problem of double yolk eggs, the current Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is more and more contrary to the original theme, when these awards were set up to prosper the film market and be close to the audience, but now they are becoming more and more bureaucratic, such as the last Golden Rooster Award held in Yinchuan, which even caused the outrage of the national media.

One of the reasons is the many overlord clauses stipulated in it, such as the registered reporter must stay in the designated hotel, must eat in the designated hotel, and must pay 1,000 yuan for 5 days of accommodation at the same time of registration.

If you don't meet any of the conditions, you will not be issued a press card, in fact, the designated hotel of the organizing committee is nothing more than a guest house for the relevant local departments, but the best five-star hotel in the place where the Golden Rooster Award was held last year is only more than 200 yuan per person per day.

Last year's festival organizers also set two world highs, the first being the closing ceremony of the world's most expensive film festival, and the most police red carpet in the world.

In terms of tickets, the official ticket price of the film festival is: 600 yuan per person for the red carpet and 3,000 yuan per person for the awards evening.

If the red carpet and the awards gala are attended together, an ordinary audience will have to pay 3,600 yuan, which is unimaginable in any film festival in the world.

In Song Zheng's impression, the only thing that can be compared with it in China is the VIP ticket price of the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics three years later, but the problem is that the two are obviously not the same grade in terms of meaning and scale.

If the price is high, and the organizing committee can quickly solve it after receiving the feedback, the media outrage will not be so strong.

However, the organizing committee did not establish any platform for communication or listening to opinions, so that the national media and even reporters had nowhere to complain and reason, and the staff of the organizer could not find their own person in charge, and even if they could see the person in charge, the person refused to help on the grounds that "it was not within his purview", and all kinds of friction accumulated, which naturally formed the collective anger of the media.

The audience criticized, the media was angry, and even the theme stars of the film festival are now becoming more and more unwelcome to the Golden Rooster.

The number of stars that a film festival can invite has now become an important indicator of its influence, and from this point of view, as the three "important" awards in the Chinese film industry and the only expert award in the mainland, the Golden Rooster Award is difficult to compare with the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse.

Every year, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival announces how many stars they have invited, but the reality is that the vast majority of stars, including the nominees, will not be present.

The last Golden Rooster Award is the most typical example of this law, before the opening of the film festival, the organizer will let out the wind, the film festival will invite more than 1000 stars, but in fact, the final number of stars is the lowest in the past, there are only dozens of stars, and the cheers of the citizens can only be given to many second-tier stars.

Examples of celebrities not being popular, including Cheng Long, a kung fu superstar with huge influence in China, as the vice chairman of the Film Association, he should have been responsible for attending the film festival, and the film festival also built momentum for this from the beginning, and set up Cheng Long's classic film exhibition, which was sold to the public at a price of 288 yuan a ticket, but on the morning of the opening day, the organizer suddenly announced that Jackie Chan could not come because of something.

Nima fooling the big guy!?

Compared with Cheng Long, Feng Xiaogang, who is also the vice chairman of the Film Association, came to the scene and won the award, Feng Xiaogang, who has always been on bad terms with the Golden Rooster, actually claimed to make all the nominated directors happy on stage when he read out his acceptance speech this time.

At the award ceremony, in addition to him, the winner, the other nominated directors were only Chen Jiashang, which was because he, as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, had to attend the Golden Rooster Awards to express his support.

At that time, Song Zheng was far away in the United States, and after hearing this, he almost burst out laughing!

All the nominated directors took the stage and rejoiced!

Feng Xiaogang is also too damaged, he is clearly playing the face of the Golden Rooster Award*!

Compared with mediocrity and upset, the biggest sorrow of the Golden Rooster Award is that as the highest level award for Chinese films, it has been completely forgotten and ignored by the public and film critics, and even has no heart to complain, so he gave up treatment and completely died.

Song Zheng has now received an invitation letter, he instinctively doesn't want to go, he remembers that the veteran director Xie Tieli, the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award of this year's Golden Rooster Awards, once spoke after winning the award: "I hope that Chinese films will never be 'polluted' in the next hundred years." ”

This speech caused a long and warm applause from the audience.

In his previous life, someone once said that Xie Lao's words were applauding the current prosperity of Chinese films, but Song Zheng was willing to understand that Xie Lao was shouting for the Golden Rooster Awards, which are becoming more and more credible.

Song Zheng didn't want to go, he just didn't want to be polluted.

Shang Jie saw that Song Zheng didn't want to go, so without waiting for him to speak, she blocked back the words he was holding in his stomach: "Xiao Song, I hope you don't act rashly about this matter, we are about to become the target of public criticism now, if you make some trouble again, it won't end well!"

Song Zheng looked at Shang Jie, he understood what Shang Jie meant, smiled bitterly, and said, "Did someone bring you a message!"

Shang Jie knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from Song Zheng at all, and there was no need to hide it at all, so she nodded: "Sometimes, we don't have to live too clearly, it's too tiring!"

Understand!

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go then!"

He didn't want to block himself in the crack of the door, although his neck was indeed hard enough, but, after all, it was not one person who fed the whole family and was not hungry, and now the two companies had to support many people, and the necessary compromise was also indispensable.
