Chapter 488: Reactions from all sides

"The list of nominees for the Directors Guild Commendation Conference has been announced, and the award ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Golden Horse Awards."

"The Chinese Directors Association announced the list of nominees, and the award ceremony and the Golden Horse Awards were in the ring."

"The man behind the Directors Guild Commendation Conference, the Golden Horse Awards was raided by Lin Yuquan."

In addition to reporting on the nominations themselves, major media outlets have focused on the collision between the commendation conference and the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and the two major awards ceremonies in the film field chose to be held on the same night, such an interesting situation has never happened in the past few decades.

This can't be a coincidence, the Golden Horse Awards have already announced the date of the award ceremony, how can the Chinese Directors Association not know that there is just such a coincidence, and the list of nominees for the commendation conference will not be announced sooner or later, without warning before that, it will be announced on the second day after the Golden Horse Awards announce the list of nominees, which is clearly intentional.

It stands to reason that the Directors Association of China should not do this, after all, since ancient times, the culture of "harmony" has embodied the main soul of traditional Chinese culture, and valuing harmony is a traditional virtue that people praise and pursue, and the Directors Association of China and the Golden Horse Awards have always been well water and do not violate river water, without any-for-tat meaning.

Obviously, there is only one real reason for the award ceremony of this commendation conference and the Golden Horse Awards, which is Lin Yuquan, as the chairman of the final evaluation jury of this commendation conference, for the continuous counterattack of last year's Golden Horse Award suppression.

In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, taking advantage of Lin Yuquan's whirlwind at the Oscars, the Chinese Directors Association announced the reform and commendation conference, with Lin Yuquan and Chen Kaige serving as the chairmen of the final and preliminary jury. The award ceremony is also scheduled for the second half of the year after November and December. Almost everyone knows it. There will be a commendation conference and a showdown of the Golden Horse Awards.

It's just that no one expected that Lin Yuquan's counterattack would be so sharp that he chose to hold an award ceremony at the same time as the Golden Horse Awards, colliding head-on.

In addition to the shock, all parties naturally have different reactions, saying that they are different, but in fact, they are mainly different between the mainland, Hong Kong and the treasure island area.

In fact. Except for the treasure island, there is no voice criticizing Lin Yuquan in China and Hong Kong, the media is happy to report such a sensational, and the public likes to see such an interesting and lively scene, and even Lin Yuquan's fans and fans applauded, thinking that Lin Yuquan's counterattack was beautiful, and no one from the well-known directors, actors, and singers in the two places stood up, just kidding, Lin Yuquan's influence now is not covered, and it is not difficult to imagine the consequences of rashly firing at Lin Yuquan.

Even though it's a treasure island area. The criticism of Lin Yuquan was not high, but he pointed out that Lin Yuquan's move was to vent his dissatisfaction with the Golden Horse Awards. I think that with Lin Yuquan's status today, he should be open-minded, no way, Lin Yuquan's current influence is really extraordinary, it is unwise to offend the other party in death, and they are somewhat weak-minded, last year's Golden Horse Awards suppressed Lin Yuquan too hard, and therefore, in fact, the island's criticism of Lin Yuquan is far less than the criticism of the Golden Horse Award, many people think that the current situation is completely caused by the 44th Golden Horse Awards jury headed by Jiao Xiongping last year, if it were not for them, this year's Golden Horse Awards would have been held smoothly.

Such a result undoubtedly surprised many people, Lin Yuquan himself was one of them, he originally thought that many people would accuse him, but he didn't care, but the result was not the same thing at all.

And just as he expected, those nominees who were nominated at both the Golden Horse Awards and the commendation conference were in deep distress at this time.

The Golden Horse Awards, founded in 1962, has the longest history in the Chinese-speaking circle, and there are no geographical restrictions in the selection conditions, and it is an award for all Chinese-language films and Chinese-speaking filmmakers. In the past 40 years, it has rewarded many excellent Chinese films and outstanding filmmakers, which is considered to be the highest honorary index of the Chinese film production industry, which has greatly helped and encouraged the Chinese film industry, and is known as the three major awards for Chinese films along with the Chinese Film Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The annual commendation conference of the China Film Directors Association, held in 2005 for the first time, suspended for a year in the middle, has only been held twice, the China Film Directors Association set up the association professional award, aimed at commending film directors and domestic filmmakers within the association, this year has just been reformed.

From the point of view of authority alone, the Golden Horse Awards undoubtedly won the commendation conference, and its help to the winners is also obvious, not only is it an affirmation of the winners' work achievements, but also can bring the winners 5 minutes of attention on stage and a large number of media exposure opportunities, and it is more likely to have an incomparably significant and possible life-changing significance for their acting careers. Because of the coronation of the Golden Horse Awards, many winners have become famous directors and acting superstars recognized by the public.

In comparison, the past two commendation conferences have not had a substantive significance to the award presenters, Tian Zhuangzhuang is still that Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lu Chuan is still that Lu Chuan, Li Xuejian is still that Li Xuejian, and such as Lin Yuquan, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and others, their growing influence is not by virtue of the award of the commendation conference.

From this point of view, it is obviously a better choice to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, but is it really that simple? If it were that simple, it wouldn't be a source of distress to the nominees.

The Golden Horse Awards had a period of glory in the seventies and eighties of the last century with the golden age of Treasure Island films. Then, with the weakening of Treasure Island films, the influence of the Golden Horse Awards gradually decreased. It's just that due to the openness of the awards, it has long occupied the throne of the highest gold award in the Chinese film industry. However, due to the downturn of Baodao films in the past 20 years, the best always has no chance with Baodao films, resulting in a very low attention of the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao, and its status has become very embarrassing, which is also an important reason why the media and the public on Baodao have criticized Lin Yuquan very little.

Although more and more Hong Kong and mainland films and filmmakers have won awards at the Golden Horse Awards since the 80s of the last century, thus attracting the attention of the media and the public in both places, it is an indisputable fact that the influence of the Golden Horse Awards has been declining in recent years. Gradually, there is a trend of becoming chicken ribs. Affected by this. Originally, the celebrity guests were full of friends. The awards ceremonies where singers and artists compete to help have become more and more deserted, and big-name directors and actors will not attend unless they are expected to win awards, and the dignified Golden Horse Awards have been reduced to relying mainly on second- and third-tier stars to support the stage.

And what is certain is that the situation will become more and more serious this year, last year there were Lin Yuquan and Li Press, two international directors, leading the way, but what about this year? Wu Yusen, the chairman of the jury, has lost the brilliance of the Chinese light after the successive failures of many films. Chen Kexin. It is uncertain whether he will attend, and even if he does, his influence cannot be compared with Lin Yuquan and Li Yu. Feng Xiaogang, he himself was not nominated for Best Director, as a member of the Executive Committee of the Directors Association, he is bound to attend the commendation conference, and a group of mainland actors, in the case of the commendation conference, will they come to participate in the Golden Horse Awards?

Thinking about it this way, it's hard not to sweat for this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Speaking of the commendation conference, the commendation conference really does not have any authority and influence. However, a number of mainland directors including Lin Yuquan, Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, and the continuous explosive growth of the mainland film market have made nominees have to consider. In particular, people have to consider the nominations of Hong Kong and Treasure Island.

Among them, the most struggling are undoubtedly those nominees in Hong Kong, especially those who are expected to win awards, although the influence of the Golden Horse Awards is declining, but in the end, it is an authoritative award, which is of important help to them, and the decline of Hong Kong films themselves makes them full of desire for the mainland market, and participating in the commendation conference can obviously communicate with many mainland filmmakers.

"Whew." Wu Yusen exhaled a long breath, his expression was extremely solemn, for the upcoming 45th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the current situation is undoubtedly extremely grim, as a grand awards ceremony, the extremely important point of interest is tantamount to the directors, actors and star guests who are shortlisted for the awards, with the declining influence of the Golden Horse Awards, it was quite difficult to invite heavyweight star guests, and now after colliding with the commendation conference held at the same time, it is even worse, at least it is difficult to invite mainland actors, At the same time, nominees that overlap with the commendation conference are sure to be severely absent.

In fact, the best solution is to avoid its edge and advance or postpone the award ceremony, but for the Golden Horse Awards, which has been held for 44 sessions and is the most influential award in the Chinese region, it is inevitable to lose face in doing so, and it is better to die standing than to live on your knees, which is the dignity that the Golden Horse Awards should have.

"How can I solve this problem?" Wu Yusen smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples.

Lin Yuquan was in a very good mood, and later that day, he also called North America to cheer for the creators of "Fatal Bend 3", which was also released today on Halloween.

On Friday of another week, another new film was released, and this week's large-scale release of new films in North America was also three, but the competitiveness was not strong, except for Summit Entertainment's own slightly more investment, the production cost climbed to $21 million, and "Fatal Bend 3" was released in 2213 theaters, as well as the Weinstein Company, produced by Kevin . Directed by Smith, Seth. Logan, Elizabeth. Banksy and other actors co-starred in "Love. Selfies", and the horror film "Shadow", produced by Liberty Fashion and released in 2,324 theaters.

In addition, there is a film that was released on a small scale in 15 theaters last week and increased to 1,850 theaters this week. Directed by Eastwood, Angelina. Julie starred in "The Changeling Suspicion".

Domestically, the competitors faced by "Heartbeat" this week are not strong, of course, this is not strong, by Angelina. Julie, Morgan. Freeman's "Wanted" would certainly have a huge impact on this week's box office situation if it were placed in the United States, but at home, the impact of this film that has been released in North America in the summer has undoubtedly been greatly reduced.

Time passed quickly, the box office rankings of the new week were quickly released, and "Heartbeat" in the third week of release continued to maintain an excellent box office trend, and the box office plummeted in "Song and Dance Youth 3", "Fatal Bend 3", "Love. Erotic Selfie", "Shadow", and "Changeling Suspicion" have lackluster impact, with a box office of $22.89 million, occupying the throne of the weekly box office for the third consecutive week.

What made Summit Entertainment even more happy was that "Fatal Bend 3" surpassed "Dead Bend 3" in one fell swoop, occupying the second place in the box office list with a box office of $15.37 million, slightly exceeding the $15.2 million of "Fatal Bend 2" at the beginning of the year, and it also had a good reputation.

Its good reputation is mainly focused on the excellent production of the film, with a production cost of 21 million US dollars, no big names in the cast, and a number of horror films with an investment of only millions of dollars, it is not difficult to know that "Fatal Bend 3" strives for excellence in all aspects. It's the story that matters, but who wouldn't want to see a movie with great graphics and sound?

Domestically, in the face of the impact of "Wanted", "Heartbeat" received another 78.72 million in a single week, with a cumulative box office of 315 million in three weeks.

Together with the outstanding performance in other regions, in the end, "Heartbeat" collected $89.27 million at the box office in a single week outside of North America, bringing the total global box office to $554 million in three weeks.

After the incredible performance of the first two weeks, people are no longer shocked by the box office of "Heartbeat".

In fact, there are too many movies in film history that have created miracle box office miracles in the unbelievable, such as 14 years ago, starring Tom. "Forrest Gump" starring Hanks, in his run, run, the global box office ran to 677 million US dollars, such as "Titanic", when everyone thought it was sinking, it blasted out the box office of 1.843 billion US dollars that had been maintained for 10 years, such as 9 years ago, the DV movie "Blair the Witch", which cost only 35,000 US dollars to produce, lies about real events, There are too many examples of miraculous $140 million at the North American box office and $248 million at the global box office, creating an unprecedented return on investment, and the super high box office of "Heartbeat" seems not so unbelievable in comparison.

Therefore, everyone is only curious about how far a small and fresh movie like "Heartbeat" can finally go on the journey at the box office.

What makes Lin Yuquan happy is not only that, after a period of screening and searching, the directors of the two films "The Hangover" and "Shocking Catastrophe" and the producer of his dreams have preliminarily locked in candidates. (To be continued......)
