At the beginning, "The Two of Us" did not win the Best Feature Film Award, and Zhong Chengxiang, director of the Golden Rooster Award jury, explained: "The skills of the film are good, but the pattern is too small, not atmospheric enough, and lacks profound thoughts!" ”

Therefore, in Zhang Chengjun's view, now Cheng Peng is obviously slapping his face when he says this, of course, now that "Dark Invasion" is being screened, this is also suspected of hype.

Cheng Peng said that there was indeed an element of hype in his remarks, but he really had something to say. At the end of the Golden Rooster Award ceremony, he wanted to stand up and say a few words, but at that time, standing up would only be considered that he couldn't afford to lose, and now he can tell those people with the facts, you are not doing this right.

Many domestic filmmakers don't look down on the Golden Rooster Awards, and this situation can often be seen at the awards ceremony, where only two or three of the five nominees are present, so that multiple shots on TV can only give stills when the awards are presented.

Why? There are too many shady scenes in the Golden Rooster Awards, and they lack authority, and everyone doesn't take this award as a thing at all.

The Golden Rooster Award is the highest award for Chinese films, and it is a banner for domestic films, which should play a guiding role in the development of films, representing a kind of strength and direction, Cheng Peng feels that it should not be like this.

Of course, Cheng Peng did not have the sacred idea of saving Chinese films and letting Chinese films go to the world. Where is the road of Chinese films, and where is the future of Chinese films? He didn't know, even if he had memories for more than a decade to come. But as a filmmaker, Cheng Peng hopes that Chinese films will get better and better, because only when Chinese films are good, the market will get bigger and bigger, so that the market can allow him to make the movies he wants to make.

Therefore. He wanted to change something. Because of this. He will promote film technology and spread the Hollywood script structure to everyone, and he also has such thoughts for the Golden Rooster Awards.

Zhang Chengjun asked: "Director Cheng, are you saying that the Golden Rooster Award is shady?" ”

"I don't dare to say if there is a shady scene, but there is a problem for sure, as long as anyone with eyes can see it!"

"What do you think is the problem with the Golden Rooster Award?"

"The environment of Chinese films has changed, but the Golden Rooster Awards have not, so much so that it has completely failed to keep up with the reality of the film market and film creation. Nowadays, the scale of China's film market is expanding rapidly. The number of moviegoers has increased significantly, and the knowledge and understanding of the new generation of audiences about images have grown explosively, and the Golden Rooster Award is still the same, it's really not good! ”

"Everyone is now saying that the Golden Rooster Award should be reformed, how do you think the Golden Rooster Award should be changed?"

"Every country has its top awards, the Oscars in the United States, the Academy Awards in the United Kingdom, the César Awards in France, the Goya Awards in Spain, and many more, all of which are voted for by thousands of members of the country's film association. The Golden Rooster Award is organized by the Film Association, which has thousands of members, and it is completely possible to organize everyone to vote, so as to avoid black-box operations. Whoever has more votes gets the prize. However, the Golden Rooster Award is selected from more than a dozen of these thousands of members every year to judge, which is relatively easy to cause problems. And many of the judges selected for the Golden Rooster Award are sixty or seventy years old. A lot of people still have the idea of the 70s and 80s, and it is out of place for them to be judges. ”

Cheng Peng's remarks were quickly reprinted by major media, and countless media people commented on his words. Some people think that Cheng Peng is hype, some people think that Cheng Peng is angry, of course, more people think that he is very reasonable, because everyone sees the problem of the Golden Rooster Award.

"Beijing Evening News" commented: "Everyone has seen Cheng Peng's movie "The Two of Us", the box office is good, and the audience recognition is also very high, it won the grand prize in Berlin, and now it has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and "Beauty on the 1 Sea" has not been released until now, the audience doesn't know how this movie is, can you not criticize?" Cheng Peng is right, the Golden Rooster Award is a four-way street, neither like a real film festival, where movies are screened, nor like a real awards ceremony, where only films that have been released are selected for awards. The reform of the Golden Rooster Award is imperative! ”

"Southern Entertainment News" reported: "When the Golden Rooster Awards were founded, the artists of the older generation attached great importance to it, and the evaluation criteria of artistry, ideology, and ornamentation made it the highest evaluation of China's domestic films." At present, some awards are too indiscriminate, and individual award-winning people participate in the evaluation without seeing a new film, and the black-box operation is serious. A system of on-the-spot voting of judges can be set up, and judges should improve their level at the same time. Improve the transparency mechanism of voting, the masses can support it, and film talents will take the Golden Rooster Award as a real honor! ”

Feng Xiaogang was a victim of the Golden Rooster Awards, so some media found him and asked him what he thought about it. Feng Xiaogang is angry with the Golden Rooster Awards: "I have recognized their position, which is to oppose the audience." In the past, they were shy to answer, but now they openly admit that the judges are experts, but they have different opinions from the audience. There are two kinds of people, one is that they have been making movies for decades and still don't know what the audience is; The other is that you don't share the sky with the audience, and you can only paraphrase Lenin's sentence for them, you directors have to make movies for the audience for a day, otherwise the audience will destroy you! ”

The reporter asked: "The response to "No Thieves in the World" is very good, and the box office is close to 100 million, will you sign up for the competition next year?" ”

Feng Xiaogang sneered: ""No Thieves in the World" is not artistic in their eyes, I won't join in the fun, and I won't participate in the Golden Rooster Awards in the future, let them play by themselves!" ”

These words naturally caused an uproar, and the media's criticism of the Golden Rooster Award became even more violent.

The storm stirred up by Cheng Peng can make the judges of the Golden Rooster Award angry, what do you know about a twenty-three or four-year-old doll, and you are not from a professional class, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at us people? When I won an award abroad, my tail went to the sky, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I am arrogant!

When Zhong Chengxiang was interviewed by reporters, he said very politely: "The Golden Globe Awards are awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and there are 8 or 90 people in this association, and only a few of these people are full-time journalists, and the others include car salesmen, real estate agents, hairstylists and the like. The members of this association are not movie insiders at all, and it is not wrong to say that they don't understand movies, so don't think that the Golden Globe nominations are amazing. This award has no gold at all! ”

It's not like it's just a mouthful. The Golden Globes are indeed like that. Because there are a few judges, it is easy to be publicized, and even there have been bribery scandals, but the problem is that the Golden Rooster Award is more shady and authoritative, which is like a professional prostitute saying that she is shameless in helping to communicate.

At the beginning, Feng Xiaogang's film "A Sigh" won many awards including the Best Film Award at the Cairo Film Festival, but the Golden Rooster Award was not received, so many reporters bombarded the Golden Rooster Award. And the people of the Golden Rooster Award belittled the Cairo Film Festival as worthless, saying that Feng Xiaogang's award was not authoritative, but in fact the Cairo Film Festival is one of the nine major A-level film festivals in the world.

Now play this hand again!

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Then what award is authoritative, is the Golden Rooster Award?" ”

Other reporters laughed when they heard this, saying that the Golden Globe Awards have no gold content, as if the Golden Rooster Awards are very authoritative.

Zhong Chengxiang's face turned black on the spot, this is really a slap in the face!

A reporter asked: "Director Feng Xiaogang has announced that "No Thieves in the World" will not sign up for next year's Golden Rooster Awards, will the Golden Rooster Awards stay away from the audience?" ”

Zhong Chengxiang said categorically: "We will adhere to our artistic standards, and if Feng Xiaogang does not sign up, we will not have anything to lose." If Cheng Peng feels that the Golden Rooster Award is unfair, he can also not participate! ”

When Cheng Peng saw this passage in the news. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he knew that these people were self-righteous, but he didn't expect that self-righteousness had reached such an extent, as if it was very rare to win this award.

No wonder the Golden Rooster Award will decline more and more, it is strange if there are these people who do not decline!

Okay, if you want to play by yourself, you can play by yourself, and I won't accompany you!

Cheng Peng smiled, wrote a statement, and sent it to various media: "I think the Golden Rooster Award is unfair, and it has no authority, and I announce that I will not participate in the selection of the Golden Rooster Award in the future." At the same time, I hope that the staff of the Golden Rooster Awards will focus on the promotion of Chinese films, not on their own personal gain, and please spend every penny of taxpayers! ”

This statement has been reported by the media, and many fans and netizens have unanimously supported it: "It's so good, what is the Golden Rooster Award, everyone has never seen it, it is completely wasting taxpayers' money." It's time for the Golden Rooster Award to be disbanded or rectified, and the financial allocation should be stopped! ”

"The Golden Rooster Award should have been withdrawn a long time ago, a bunch of old pedants, he didn't choose the movies that everyone liked, but chose the ones he hadn't seen, such an award was selected for fart!"

"Zhang Yimou didn't attend the Golden Rooster Awards, Feng Xiaogang announced his withdrawal, and now Cheng Peng has also withdrawn, so you can play slowly by yourself!"

"Retreat well, everyone doesn't play with them, let them play by themselves, and strive to turn the Golden Rooster Award into a pheasant award!"

Two days later, there was good news in North America, the National Film Critics Association Awards were announced, and "The Two of Us" won the Best Foreign Language Film Award over the popular "Deep Sea Sleep".

The American film industry has a three-month Oscar season that begins with the announcement of the Gotham Independent Film Awards at the end of November and ends with the Oscars at the end of February of the following year, during which hundreds of awards are awarded, and awards are awarded almost every day.

The most important thing during this period is, of course, the Oscars, and the National Film Critics Association Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards are known as the "three weather vanes" of the Oscars, which are very important awards.

The news of Cheng Peng's award caused many supporters to rejoice: "Who the hell is rare about your Golden Rooster Award, Brother Peng has conquered the United States!" ”

"Hahaha, stupid, slap in the face!"

"The boss of our family will definitely be able to win the Oscar in the future, so you can play slowly by yourself for the Golden Rooster Award!"

The media is a little regretful, "The Two of Us" has won an award and a nomination among the three wind vanes, and if you sign up for the Oscar foreign language film competition, at least seventy percent hope to get the nomination.

It's a pity that the radio and television sent "Ambush on All Sides"!

After that, "The Two of Us" won the New York Film Critics Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Salt Lake City Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film, etc., these awards are like a slap in the face, slapping the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards, and slapping some people's faces swollen.

Of course, the box office of "Invasion of Darkness" is also progressing steadily, with 26 million in the third week, a total of 86 million, and 10 million in the fourth week, a total of 96 million, which is getting closer and closer to 100 million.

At the same time, the box office of "Invasion of Darkness" in North America also came out, and the movie opened in Hall 1225, ranking third with a box office of 7.58 million in the first week. ranked first is the comedy "Meet My Father-in-law 2", with a weekly box office of 28.49 million, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million; In second place is a newly released horror film "Ghost Signal" with 24.11 million.

This result is second only to the 23 million in the first week of "Hero", ranking second among domestic films. (To be continued......)
