Chapter 725: Wen Jun's attitude
"What should be done has been done, no matter how anxious you are, sit down, have a cup of tea, and be quiet!"
The Wu Lao in Wen Jun's mouth is none other than Wu Siyuan, who is known as the "Godfather of Xiangjiang Films". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wu Siyuan is the president of the Heung Kong Film Workers Association, the permanent honorary president of the Heung Kong Film Directors Association, and has created classic films such as "Drunken Fist", "Extralegal Affairs" and "Wong Fei Hung", and served as the chairman of the Heung Kong Film Awards for five consecutive years from 1996 to 2000.
The Xiangjiang Film Awards can have today's prestige and become one of the three major film awards of China Entertainment, and Wu Siyuan's contribution can be said to be indispensable.
Many people may not know that before Wu Siyuan took over the chairmanship of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, the first chairman of the Xiangjiang Film Awards was Hong Zuxing.
Hong Zuxing is a senior filmmaker in Hong Kong, as early as the beginning of the Fifth Academy Awards, Hong Zuxing has been doing the work of the helm of the Academy Awards, the first few sessions of the Academy Awards were sponsored by the "Film Fortnightly", but this award, at that time, has not been supported by the government, the award ceremony is small, the funds are insufficient, the cohesion is not enough, Hong Zuxing will try to find funding in the society, mobilize filmmakers to participate.
In 1994, the 13th Academy Awards Association was established, and Hong Zuxing naturally served as the first chairman of the Academy Awards.
By the time Wu Siyuan came to power and became the second chairman of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, there were still many problems with the Academy Awards, and the most serious problem was obviously that many stars did not buy the Academy Awards, resulting in a dim starry star at the awards ceremony, and there were no big-name stars.
In the end, Wu Siyuan used his influence in the circle to invite Xu Ke, Liu Dehua, Anita Mui and others to attend the award ceremony, and put a lot of effort into program planning, making the Academy Awards ceremony enjoyable, and gradually began to become a major event in the Hong Kong film industry, and even the entire Hong Kong and Southeast Asian audiences.
Wu Siyuan, who is very business-minded, also did another big thing, that is, he attracted enough sponsorship funds for the Academy Awards, first he began to sell the rights of the awards ceremony, and secondly, he also contacted the government, so that the government realized that the Academy Awards are not only a gathering of filmmakers, but also a major event to win glory for Xiangjiang.
As a result, the Hong Kong government will give support every year, and even Chief Executive Dong Jianhao attended the Academy Awards ceremony twice.
Moreover, many people don't know that Wu Siyuan is the first Xiangjiang filmmaker to enter the mainland to shoot a co-production film, it can be said that Wen Jun was able to invite Wu Siyuan to come forward this time, and the sincerity was great, and even in order to increase the success rate, he also specially contacted Jiang Wen.
At this time, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and Liu Dong walked in and invited the two: "Chairman Wen and Mr. Wu, our chairman is invited!" He was also very curious in his heart, what methods did these two use to soften Lu Deshuang's attitude, Liu Dong didn't believe that Xu Qiongshuang alone could have this ability.
"Chairman Wen, and Mr. Wu, for Jiang Wen's sake, let's open the skylight and say something, what do you think?"
To tell the truth, among the three major film awards of China Entertainment, Lu Deshuang hates the Academy Award the most, because this award is the product of Xiangjiang people's self-entertainment, although the conditions were relaxed later, it still did not change the essence, look at the qualifications of the film.
It's like being screened in Xiangjiang; Must be open to the public and have no less than five screenings in a week; The length of the video must be 60 minutes or more; The conditions of 35mm film projection or digital projection are okay, and they are quite normal.
But there is one point, it must be a Xiangjiang movie, which is very childish.
For example, the director must be a resident of Hong Kong who holds a permanent resident identity card of Hong Kong; The production company must have a legally registered company in Hong Kong; At least six projects in the film are staffed by Hong Kong residents, and 16 awards are counted: Producer, Screenwriter, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, New Actor, Cinematography, Action Design, Art Direction, Costume Modeling, Editing, Original Film Music, Original Film Song, Sound Effects and Visual Effects.
Moreover, for each work project, only one Heung Kong staff member is counted; If more than one composer, lyricist and lead singer of the "Original Film Song" is a member of the Hong Kong staff member, only one of them will be counted.
And only if two of the above three conditions are met, it can be regarded as a Xiangjiang movie.
More importantly, the Best Film at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards was awarded to the Hong Kong drug movie "Ten Years", which tells the story of Hong Kong in 2025 with an extremely pessimistic attitude. It consists of five short films, which depict the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong by manipulating a terrorist attack in Sai Wan, a protester setting himself on fire in despair in front of the British Consulate-General, a taxi driver being discriminated against at work because he does not speak Mandarin, a man and a woman resisting forced demolitions, a man and a woman resisting forced demolitions, a man making a specimen of his body, and "Red. Protect. "Soldier culture" flooded in Xiangjiang, causing schoolchildren's sons to fight Lao Tzu and so on.
What's even more excessive is that at the end of the film, it is written that "it's not too late" to call on Hong Kong people to resist.
Yes, the directors of "Ten Years" preach despair, which is their freedom.
But if you want to find another way to become popular, it belongs to the artist's cleverness, because many societies will have such episodes, but this film came out at a time when there was a continuous anti-China boom in Xiangjiang, which inevitably makes people doubt the motives of the directors who filmed "Ten Years", and even the judges who made this film win the best film have undoubtedly become accomplices of the anti-China people in Xiangjiang.
To be fair, because of the closure of the mainland and the martial law on the treasure island, Xiangjiang Films did make movies that the entire Chinese circle loved, and even gave Xiangjiang the name of Oriental Hollywood, but with the rise of films in the mainland and Southeast Asia and other surrounding areas, Xiangjiang Films are destined to fall into the darkest period.
As a reborn, he is naturally well aware of the future of Hong Kong films, because the landscape is too small, and it can only rely on the mainland market to survive.
And don't look at Wen Jun and Wu Siyuan are well-known movie bosses in Xiangjiang, and even in the mainland film industry, they are also quite famous, but for Lu Deshuang, he neither asks for them, nor does he need them, but there are grievances, and the tone is naturally not much better.
However, Wen Jun and Wu Siyuan are obviously prepared in this regard.
In fact, they were in the position of Lu Deshuang back then, and when they knew that the Xiangjiang Film Awards had some personal grievances, they canceled the nomination of the shortlisted works of Lu Deshuang's company, and if it was them, they would also be resentful.
It is precisely because of this that in the face of Lu Deshuang's unfriendly tone, Wen Jun smiled bitterly: "Lu Sheng, because of Zhang Tongzu's behavior, you had a great misunderstanding of the Academy Awards, and I don't want to comment on that matter, but after all, no one is perfect, and the same is true for the Academy Awards, it is impossible to be perfect in everything, there will always be some loopholes, for the trouble caused to you back then, on behalf of the Academy Awards, I solemnly apologize to you!" As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Lu Deshuang to apologize, not giving Lu Deshuang a chance to react at all.
