Chapter 139 Academy Awards
Compared with Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, Hong Kong Island's Academy Awards set up regional barriers in the shortlisting criteria.
In the past, to make a movie, Hong Kong Islanders had to occupy 8 positions in the staff to be considered a Hong Kong film and could run for election. Now because the nature of co-productions is a bit more open, Hong Kong Islanders only need to occupy 6 positions.
However, this restriction still exists, and is considered by the outside world to be a threshold set to protect the development of Hong Kong's local films, making some Chinese films with good reputation and box office ineligible to apply, causing some doubts about the over-localization of the Academy Awards. There is even more public opinion that if the Academy Awards blindly protect the region, it will lose the fairness and influence of the Chinese film campaign.
However, the person in charge of the Academy Awards took a clear position and declared: "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." Because the Academy Awards are working hard for Hong Kong Island films, 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. ”
It's okay to say that people are conservative, or to say that people are stubborn and can't see the future, but on the other hand, there is nothing wrong with looking at people, because the original intention of this award is mainly to encourage Hong Kong Island filmmakers, and not all Chinese-language films.
But in general, although the Hong Kong Island Awards are still a bit awesome, they are already at the end of their power, and decline is an inevitable trend.
The reason is not only because it is obsessed with the past, the protection of the local area is not inclusive and blooming, but the main reason is that the influence of the award is determined by the maturity of the film industry and the influence of the film, and the film industry and influence are determined by the market and actors and directors, and these people are ultimately determined by the market capacity.
How big is the market in the mainland? And how big is the market on Hong Kong Island? For example, if the box office capacity in North America is only tens of millions, Hollywood will immediately decline. The mainland film industry is maturing day by day, the market is booming, blowout, blowout! How does the mainland island that began to blow out compare with it?
So in the final analysis, the decline of Hong Kong Island's film industry is also caused by the rise of the mainland, not only the rise of the film industry. And even more so because of the rise of the economy. (In the words of the family, let's take a look at Lehe, don't come to the author to debate whether this is the reason.) )
Does Di Yun understand these truths or these current situations? Maybe he understands, he may not understand, but if someone tells him this, he will definitely grin while plucking his ears. I'm going to participate in an Academy Awards. Say that these have a bird relationship?
After that heavy rain, the weather on Hong Kong Island has become very sunny again, with a tendency towards summer heat, and the occasional wind can smell salty.
He also took off his thick clothes and wore a single piece. Wander around Hong Kong Island, or find Chen Guo and Quan Zai to have a drink and eat barbecue or something, and by the way, meet a few new friends, all of them are in Chen Guo or Li Dongquan's circle, not a big coffee, and get along more easily.
His leisure lasted until the end of April 14, when Chen Guo specially called him.
"Tomorrow night's Academy Awards ceremony, you prepare in advance." Chen Guo said directly.
"Uh... What to prepare? Di Yun asked.
"The first is the clothes, which can't be dressed too casually, and the second is ...... Well... You prepare a speech. ”
"Transcript?" Di Yun was a little confused: "What speech?" ”
"Alas... I'm not sure if you'll be able to win the prize. In short, you prepare a paragraph, be prepared, in case you win the award, it will be bad if you can't speak on stage. ”
"Winning the prize?" Di Yun had never thought about this, he just wanted to go in with Chen Guo and them to have a good time, but as for winning the award, he felt that it was too far away, and he didn't think that it would fall on his head. At this time, he realized that he was also a participant and not just a passerby, not to mention how likely it was to win the award, but after all, there was this possibility, his heart beat inexplicably, he licked his lips and asked, "Can you really win the award?" ”
"I don't know." Chen Guo replied very simply.
Di Yun's heart is stopped. Can't you give some confidence? After a pause, he asked, "So... What are you writing about? ”
"Just something like you're excited, very grateful, anyway, you read and write it yourself, and you don't necessarily need it." Chen Guo said.
"Okay."
"And there's that. The award ceremony at the Cultural Theatre will start on time at eight o'clock tomorrow night, go early, come over at six o'clock, let's go over together. ”
"Okay, no problem."
He thought about it all afternoon, and he came up with a long list of words of thanks, thanks, and that, and put together a few hundred words. After reading it, I always felt dry, I didn't think it was good, so I called my daughter-in-law at night and asked for assistance.
"Did you sleep?"
"Just took a shower, not yet." Lao Xu's voice was a little lazy.
"Tired?"
"Well, today's workload is a bit heavy, from morning until after eight o'clock in the evening. The most important thing is that I have never been in contact with costume dramas before, and I am always a little uncomfortable, with many problems and tiredness. ”
Di Yun said: "If you are not good at this, you will not act in costume dramas in the future, and it will be good for you to take the modern urban route." ”
"That's also the future, and now this drama has to be filmed first. But when shooting, it was either inexplicable laughter or feelings couldn't be brought in, in short, it was very irritable. ”
"Wait two more days, and I'll go over to accompany you." Di Yun said.
"I want you to come over too, but I still can't play well after you come, and it's still painful."
Di Yun could probably imagine her frowning and pursing her lips on the other end of the phone, and said with a smile: "At least I can give you a leg rub to relieve you." ”
"Can you do these little essays too?" Lao Xu's tone changed inexplicably.
Di Yun raised his eyebrows: "She can't do such a thing as warming the bed, right?" ”
"Hee-hee..."Lao Xu chuckled, maybe he rolled over on the bed, and his feelings were a little better, "What color pajamas do you guess I'm wearing now?" ”
What other colors of pajamas? Di Yun said, "White." ”
"Wrong!" Lao Xu smiled: "Purple." ”
"New?"
"Yes, I bought it when I went shopping with Xiaowen yesterday afternoon. You see, it's beautiful. ”
...... "I don't have clairvoyance and clairvoyance, how can I see."
"Can you guess what color is down there?"
"Not worn?" Di Yun asked tentatively.
"You're not wearing it!" Lao Xu scolded with a smile.
"Then I can't guess."
"It's also purple, with patterns and edges......"
Di Yun didn't dare to continue the topic, afraid that she would ask again later, "Guess what I'm doing now?" "That scene is a little blood boiling when I think about it, I am now alone, no one has solved it if I arouse anger, is it difficult to open the unicorn arm?
Changing the subject, he said, "Okay, I have something serious to ask you about." ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's just... The matter of the speech... Acceptance speech. ”
"Can you win a prize?" The daughter-in-law was a little more energetic.
"I don't know, but the director told me to be prepared and prepared. I don't know what to say, you can help me think about it. ”
"Well, I'll think about it."
Then Lao Xu told him a lot of balabala, and he wrote it down with a pen here.
In the end, I still didn't escape my daughter-in-law's "guess what I'm doing now" question.
A man and a woman lie in bed on the big night, guessing what they are doing. Tut... What else can be done? It's nothing more than something that is mm It's just that I pity the two mobile phones, and the hot ones that are teased are let go by two shameless men and women.
At the same time as the two mobile phones were brutally tortured, the Hong Kong Island Cultural Theatre was also carrying out the final voting summary all night, but there was a problem.
Question about an actor named Di Yun.
The first round of a 100-member jury, the second round of a 50-member jury, and the final result was that he was nominated for Best New Actor.
It would be most appropriate for him to nominate for this award in his current situation, but there is a rigid rule for the nomination of this award, which is that the actor must not have participated in any film performance as a leading or supporting actor before the year of nomination.
He has already participated in many movies, needless to say, "Xiao Wu" and "Fengyue" are still a little well-known on Hong Kong Island, and this award is naturally not eligible to participate in the election.
Although the nomination has been voted on, it can only be cancelled. This leaves only the nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
There is also a rule in the Academy Awards, that is, actors in the same film are eligible for Best Lead Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations at the same time, and the final result is to nominate them for awards according to the project with the highest votes. In other words, it means: even the protagonist of a movie may end up with a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, or even a Best Supporting Actor award.
Isn't it embarrassing, hehe... But that's what the jury says, especially when it comes to the absolutely fair results of the jury.
Perhaps this approach is seen by outsiders as a measure to protect local films, as these judges are basically local filmmakers on Hong Kong Island. But it's really relatively fair for the inside.
As a result, Di Yun appeared on the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor as the absolute actor in "Made in Hong Kong". And with a high attitude, he won the ranking order of Jiang Wen in "Song Family Dynasty" with a high score, ranking first.
These Di Yun naturally don't know, his positioning is still the election of the best leading actor or the best new actor, and he can't think of what the best supporting actor has to do with him.
After talking to his daughter-in-law on the phone, he took a shower, sorted out the draft of what his daughter-in-law said, re-retrieved the speech of three or four hundred words, and then recited it several times overnight to remember, if he really had the opportunity to go on stage, he couldn't still speak with a script.
I didn't go to bed until late at night, and I don't know if there will be a situation in my dream tonight when PK drops many celebrities to win the best actor tomorrow night. Hehe...... (To be continued.) )
