"Invitation?"

Gu Zhi's heart jumped, and his gaze continued to move downward.

The 37th Golden Horse Film Awards Ceremony is scheduled to be held from December 1 to 02, 2000 at the Zhongshan Memorial Hall.

The main activities include······

The Executive Committee of the Golden Horse Film Festival - by invitation

"Golden Horse Awards?"

Gu Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

How did the Golden Horse Awards invite the crew of "Butterfly Effect"?

"Before the release of the movie, China Film specially applied for the Golden Horse Award for the film, and the time was just in time. The nominations were announced on October 1, and the invitation was just delivered today. ”

"I see..."

As the producer of the film, China Film not only has to participate in the production of films, but it is also their job to apply for various film awards, but this time the time is a bit tight, and they were not notified before applying.

The Golden Horse Awards has only one requirement for the declared films, which can be Chinese-language films, so the number of films participating in the competition every year is particularly large, and the judges need to browse all the films, select the nominations through voting, and announce the list of award-winning nominees on October 1 every year.

The Golden Horse, the Hong Kong Island Golden Statue, and the Mainland Golden Rooster Award are also known as the three major awards for Chinese films.

The Golden Horse Awards have the longest history in the Chinese-speaking world, and the selection conditions are the most relaxed, and they are open to all Chinese-language films.

At present, the Golden Horse Awards are still very authoritative, but after more than ten years, they have gradually become an award for self-protection, and the trend of leaning towards local films is becoming more and more serious, and its authority is not as good as before.

The Hong Kong Island Academy Awards, which has the most restrictions on participation, are themselves awards used to protect Hong Kong Island films.

First of all, the first film must be screened in the first round of public screening on Hong Kong Island, which is the most basic condition.

Then, the director must be a Hong Kong Island resident with a Hong Kong Island ID card, the production company must have a Hong Kong Island registered company, and the staff of at least six work projects of the film must meet two of these three conditions in order to be called a "Hong Kong Island film" in order to participate in the Academy Awards.

There is no doubt that the Academy Awards are not very fair, and the chairman of the board of directors of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang, once said:

"If this award is becoming less and less valued because Hong Kong Island films are becoming less and less valued, let's accept our fate. The Academy Awards are for Hong Kong Island films, and if there are no Hong Kong Island films, the Academy Awards will be meaningless. If Hong Kong Island films are on the decline, then the Academy Awards are a truthful reflection of the current situation of Hong Kong Island films and continue to work hard for Hong Kong Island films."

In fact, in one sentence, the Academy Awards are a product of the self-esteem of Hong Kong Island people, whether it is declining or questioned, movies from other regions are rarely involved.

As for the Golden Rooster Award in the mainland, it was later held every other year with the Hundred Flowers Award, so it was also called the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.

Since the Hundred Flowers Award was awarded to Li Yifeng and Yang Tianbao that year, the people of the whole country know what this award is.

Authority? Credibility?

None exist.

There is only one word to describe the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award: hehe.

Gu Zhi's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award in the current era still has some authority, but this time "Butterfly Effect" came out relatively late, and this award must be declared between March and May every year, so China Film can only wait for next year.

Then there is no need to think about the Academy Awards, all kinds of foreign awards are almost finished, and there is only one Golden Horse Award left at that time. Zhongying applied with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect to get a nomination.

"Nominated for Best Original Screenplay, "The Butterfly Effect" is the only mainland film in this award."

Han Sanping explained to Gu Zhi.

This time, the Best Original Screenplay was nominated for "Thin Road", "Unmanned", "In the Mood for Love", plus "Butterfly Effect", three Hong Kong Island movies, one mainland movie, but there is no local one in Wanwan.

"This is your first time as a screenwriter, and you have been nominated for this heavyweight award, just one word: cow."

Saying that, Han Sanping gave Gu Zhi a thumbs up.

Gu Zhi smiled embarrassedly, but he didn't feel anything at all.

The Golden Horse Awards, the Academy Awards, and the Palme d'Or are not his goals at all, not to mention that the best screenplay is just a marginal project that cannot be on the edge, which really does not arouse his interest.

And he didn't like bending in the first place, and now he doesn't care about this award.

However, Han Sanping took the initiative to ask at this time: "How is it, when are you going to carry the north?" ”

The Golden Horse Award is worthless in Gu Zhi's eyes, but in the eyes of these older generation of filmmakers, it is still a very important award, and many mainland actors and directors are proud to win the Golden Horse Award.

Every time a mainland filmmaker wins the Golden Horse or Golden Statue, the media inevitably have to hype it up, which is enough to see how influential they are in the Chinese-speaking circle.

The two have completely different views on the Golden Horse Awards, Gu Zhi thought about it, and decided to say his plan directly.

"Third master, I'm not going to go to the north to participate in the Golden Horse Awards."

Hearing him say this, Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recovered, signaling Gu Zhi to continue.

"The project of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been launched, and I hope to release this film on Valentine's Day next year, and the time is already very tight, and it will be delayed for at least a week to go to the corner, which will definitely delay the production of the film."

And this time it was shortlisted for the best original screenplay, and the competitors were all from Hong Kong Island, including "In the Mood for Love", which won all the awards abroad. "Butterfly Effect" is impossible to win, this film itself is a commercial film, it has never been loved by the award judges, and it is useless to go, there is no need to be a foil for others. ”

"Don't you want to bend and bend for a long time? As one of the three authoritative awards for Chinese films, many famous directors and stars in Hong Kong and the mainland will participate, and it is also beneficial for you to make more friends with insiders. Han San commented and persuaded.

Gu Zhi shrugged his shoulders, looking unconcerned.

"You don't need me to make friends, they will come back to make friends with me in the future. I still want to focus on this film and don't want to waste time. ”

“···”

Speaking of which, Han Sanping couldn't continue to persuade him.

"You kid, you can't usually see it, you're quite arrogant."

"Hehe, isn't it like you have the third master, or I wouldn't have the confidence."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, forget it. However, we still have to send a few crew members over, or it seems that we don't respect this award. ”

"Third master, don't send Liu Qi over, she still has to do the work of producer, so she can't delay."

Gu Zhi is currently focused on the movie, but he doesn't want anything to go wrong.

Han Sanping felt a little headache in the face of Gu Zhi's serious energy, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Okay, no problem, listen to your kid, leave Xiaoqi to you."

"Thank you, Third Master! Then it's okay, I'll go first. ”

Gu Zhi was about to retreat, and when he was about to walk to the door, Han Sanping suddenly stopped him.

"I almost forgot about this, the director found it for you, you called Xiaoqi in and let's see if it's suitable."

I saw Han Sanping take out a black-and-white printed resume from his desk, and the portrait photos on it were blurry, and he could hardly see the appearance of a person's face.
