Chapter 315: Counterattack (Subscription Requested)
"I don't want to talk about the results, and there is no point in talking about it again, this time I came to the Golden Horse Awards, especially thanks to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me such a precious opportunity to learn how a fair film festival works, maybe it's my misunderstanding, the Golden Horse Awards is actually not suitable for my mainland commercial films, of course, it may also be that the judges of the Golden Horse Awards who like mainland commercial films have not yet been born, I don't want to try my luck to see which jury likes mainland commercial films, it's too tiring, and it's too wasteful of time."
To paraphrase the lines in Xing Ye's "Shaolin Football", I am hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, and the tossing and turning of flying around is simply a waste of my time, and wasting time is equivalent to wasting money. So this will be my last time coming to the Golden Horse Awards, I like Treasure Island, I like the scenery here, I like the food here, I like some singers and certain songs here, I like the same cute movie fans and book fans here, I will come to Treasure Island for vacation or promote movies in the future, but I will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards. ”
Wow, Lin Yuquan issued a statement the next morning through Guò Shuguang.com, in the video, Lin Yuquan sat on the sofa in the living room on the third floor, and said in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about a particularly trivial matter, and Lin Yuquan's statement instantly made the already lively scene more and more lively.
"Oh, Lin Yuquan has withdrawn from the Golden Horse Awards forever." "I really take myself seriously, and I still do shady "Painted Skin", and now others don't play with you at all." "Wow, it's really Lin Yuquan, it's domineering." "Who asked you to find so many people and water armies to come to Heilin Yuquan for the Golden Horse Awards, and without Lin Yuquan to participate, who still looks at you for a prison bend award ceremony." "Next year, you can only bend and play with mud by yourself, Lin Yuquan supports you. Your movie is the best. Some people actually say that the box office and audience liking are not the most important thing. Brain-dead don't explain. "The show is on, come and watch."
The water army is fierce, but it seems so small in front of thousands of netizens, like a drop of water in the sea, making waves, and not even making a slightly louder movement, and is instantly drowned out by the voices of netizens who are either excited or gloating or watching the play.
Not to mention the people of the mainland and Hong Kong, even the people of Baodao did not stand on the side of the Golden Horse Awards this time. Others Lin Yuquan doesn't hate Treasure Island, people like the scenery of Treasure Island, food, some singers and certain songs, and equally cute movie fans and book fans, why do you only hate the Golden Horse Awards, the answer is obvious, the shady scene of the Golden Horse Awards this time is too obvious, "Painted Skin", a movie that is obviously much better than "Lust Caution", only won one award, and "Lust Caution" won the most seven awards, which is too unscientific.
From the bottom of their hearts, of course, they support Treasure Island Films and Treasure Island Filmmakers. But the premise is that the Treasure Island movie is good enough, and the Treasure Island filmmakers are good enough. Otherwise wouldn't their support seem ridiculous? Li Eucalyptus is of course a top Chinese director, and "Lust Caution" is also particularly prominent in a number of Chinese films this year, if there is no "Painted Skin" in existence, Li Eucalyptus and "Lust Caution" swept the Golden Horse Awards.
But now in the competition with "Painted Skin", "Lust Caution" actually beat "Painted Skin" to the ground, no matter what, it can't be justified, no wonder others are dissatisfied.
What's more, while the Golden Horse Awards insists on their own attitude, they are also obviously looking for a water army and inviting people to criticize others, not to mention Lin Yuquan, it is also very popular for ordinary people, if Lin Yuquan is still polite to you in his current identity, it is not magnanimity, it is crazy.
"Oh, Yuquan, he finally figured it out, the Golden Horse Awards are like this, they have always been biased towards literary films, and commercial films have won only a very small number of awards, and they are all concentrated in Hong Kong, when have our mainland commercial films been truly recognized, not to mention that the local protectionism of the Golden Horse Awards is still very strict, if it is not for the participation of Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers and the attention of audiences in the two places, they are eager to award all the awards to their own people, and such awards are not to participate!" Feng Bigang clapped his hands and said.
"Then do you want to quit permanently?" Xu Wan next to him said.
"Of course I don't care, my movies haven't won the Golden Horse Award yet, but it's a little unfair to the actors in my movie, for them, they may feel that being nominated for the Golden Horse Award is a kind of affirmation, although I don't care about Yuquan and Zhang Yi, but there are many actors who care about this award." Feng Bigang said with a sigh.
"Well, if I get the chance to compete for the Golden Horse Award, I'm very happy." Xu Man said with a smile.
"That's why many people say that Yuquan is domineering, and ordinary directors really can't make up their minds!" Feng Bigang said with emotion.
"The Golden Horse Awards in the past two years have been really unfavorable!" Wen Jun, the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, couldn't help but gloat, the famous director Cai Mingliang, who was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards last year with "Black Circles", announced that due to dissatisfaction with the judges' accusations and injuries to his works, he decided to withdraw "Black Circles" from the Golden Horse Awards, and personally quit forever, but he didn't expect that this year's "Lust and Caution" happened again, suppressing "Painted Skin", which then aroused Lin Yuquan's anger, making Lin Yuquan announce his permanent withdrawal from the Golden Horse Awards again, and two big directors announced their withdrawal in succession, and the Golden Horse Awards undoubtedly suffered heavy losses, Seeing such a thing happening, as the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, he is certainly happy to see it.
Many people look at the Golden Horse Awards with sympathetic eyes, the stars of the Golden Horse Awards in recent years are not as good as before, and they completely rely on the actors, singers and hosts of the Baodao TV variety show singers to support the scene, and few famous directors and superstars attend the awards ceremony, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing for the Golden Horse Awards, which is known as the most representative and influential film award in the Chinese film industry today.
Originally, this year, Lin Yuquan, Li Yu, Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun and other big-name actors attended together, making the awards ceremony a veritable star-studded, but no one expected that the Golden Horse Awards would die by themselves, and offended the main creative team of "Painted Skin" to death with one rod, and now Lin Yuquan has announced his permanent withdrawal from the Golden Horse Awards.
Relatively speaking, Lin Yuquan can be said to be the biggest reason why this year's Golden Horse Awards has received widespread attention from the three places, his departure is immeasurable for the Golden Horse Awards, and no one can make up for it, losing the support of Lin Yuquan's fans, coupled with the Golden Horse Awards' reputation plummeting because of this matter, the Golden Horse Awards held next year will undoubtedly be clouded with a thick haze.
"Rain springs. Did you really announce your withdrawal from the Golden Horse Awards? Ning Hao's voice came from the phone.
"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded. Then laughed and said, "Aren't you filming?" How did you find out so quickly. ”
"After something like this happened. Can I not care? Since you have withdrawn, then you make a statement for me, and I will also withdraw from the Golden Horse Awards permanently. Ning Hao said slowly.
"It's none of your business that I'm quitting." Lin Yuquan scolded with a smile.
"I didn't get the Golden Horse Awards this time, and I also understood that the Golden Horse Awards don't pay attention to mainland commercial films, and they won't let famous mainland directors win awards, and I don't have a big chance of winning awards in the future, so why hope that the Golden Horse Awards will be merciful and give me awards. And it doesn't matter to me whether I win the Golden Horse Award or not. Anyway, you invest in my films, and you always give me a salary increase so actively, I just need to make a good movie. Ning Hao said with a smile.
"Ok, since you insist, I won't stop you." Lin Yuquan smiled.
"By the way, help Xu Zheng and Huang Bo declare that they will not attend the Golden Horse Awards."
When Ning Hao, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Xun, Xu Zheng, Liu Ye, Liu Yifei, Jiang Yan and other Yuquan family artists responded to Lin Yuquan's withdrawal from the Golden Horse Awards in a short period of time, the turmoil caused by the shady scenes of the Golden Horse Awards became more and more intense, and the impact on the future of the Golden Horse Awards is also obvious. Several other people, with the support of Shuguang Films, also have the possibility of becoming first-line actors in the next two or three years. Without such a force, the future prospects of the Golden Horse Awards are undoubtedly bleak.
Lin Yuquan quickly issued another statement, this time his spearhead was directly aimed at Wu Yusen, compared to other people who should have been invited by the Golden Horse Awards to speak out, Wu Yusen who took the initiative to jump out against him, naturally he was the one who disgusted him more.
"I have always respected film predecessors who are truly worthy of respect, in my opinion, such film predecessors are not determined by age, but by their own bearing and quality, such as director Xie Fei, director Wu Tianming, director Zheng Dongtian and others. For the director who said that I 'became an international director and a rich man at a young age, although it is a kind of ability, but it should not become a capital that despises others', I also want to say to you that the glory of the past and the growing age are certainly a kind of qualifications, but they should not be the capital to wantonly criticize young directors and use others as tools, no one is a fool.
Please forgive me for my disrespectful behavior towards this person, in fact, I originally liked his movies very much, because he once created a film era and brought many of us the beauty of childhood, but now he has obviously lost his master's demeanor, and he has also mixed too much personal selfishness in the filming, forgive me again for my disrespect, but I really can't respect it, so I'm sorry, but if this director participates in the film, Shuguang Film will not invest, Shuguang Cinema will not be released, and Shuguang Film and Television Base will not be filmed, Dawning will not be playing. ”
As soon as the statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar, although it was not explicitly stated, but "becoming an international director at a young age, becoming a rich man, is certainly an ability, but it should not become a capital to despise others" This sentence has clearly indicated Wu Yusen's identity, everyone did not expect that in the face of Wu Yusen's criticism, Lin Yuquan would respond in such a direct way, in China, this is almost a move only by Feng Bigang and Sun Haiying, obviously Lin Yuquan is really angry with Wu Yusen this time.
Let's not talk about whether Lin Yuquan has lost his demeanor in doing this, and then carefully read Lin Yuquan's statement, especially after Wu Yusen's participation in the movie, people who are familiar with the situation in the film industry suddenly changed color.
Although "The Battle of Red Cliffs" suffered a box office fiasco again, with Wu Yusen's influence, it is not too difficult to get film investment from the film company, so the "Dawning Film will not invest, Dawning Film and Television Base will not shoot, and Dawning Network will not broadcast" will not be a big trouble for Wu Yusen.
Only "Shuguang Cinemas will not be released" can be called a fatal blow, you must know that Shuguang Cinemas and Wanda Cinemas are considered to be the cinema chains with the most development potential in the future, as of now, Shuguang Cinemas has 17 theaters, 140 screens, is already a very advanced force in the cinemas, and according to the development speed of Shuguang Cinemas, in 5 years, Shuguang Cinemas will become 100 theaters. A large cinema chain with nearly 1,000 screens. At that time. If the movie can't get the support of Shuguang Cinema when it is released, the impact on the box office of a movie will be immeasurable, especially for Wu Yusen's film, which has a large investment, and it can even be said that it directly determines the success or failure of the movie.
Obviously, according to the current development, Wu Yusen's future road to directing and producing will be clouded by a heavy haze, and those film and television companies that want to find Wu Yusen to direct films or invest in his films must also be cautious and cautious, and weigh whether it is worth it. If Wu Yusen is making a movie for overseas, it's fine, but if it's a Chinese-language film mainly for Chinese-speaking areas, it is estimated that it is difficult for any film and television company to invest stupidly, after all, the box office market in Hong Kong and Baodao is too small, and after losing the mainland box office market, it is almost impossible to recover the cost of any film with an investment of more than 50 million.
For a while, everyone looked at Lin Yuquan full of amazement, this young director and tycoon who had created extraordinary success really made an extraordinary move, and as soon as he made a move, he almost cut off Wu Yusen's film road, and looked at Wu Yusen with great sympathy. But there must be something hateful about the wretched, who made you jump out and look for trouble. This is not to cut off his film road in Chinese-speaking areas, unless he makes small-budget movies, or he can only go to Hollywood and make movies in other regions.
"Smack." Let the water glass slide to the ground, Wu Yusen's eyes were dull, and his heart was full of bitterness beyond remorse, perhaps because of the fiasco of "The Battle of Red Cliff" compared to "Red Cliff", or because Lin Yuquan, a young mainland director, was too radiant in the past two years, he gradually became jealous and hostile to Lin Yuquan.
At the same time, in the China Film office, Han Shanping's face changed, originally they were ready to invest in Wu Yusen's new film with Orange Sky Film and Television, a historical love movie with an investment of 30 million US dollars, but now Lin Yuquan's statement undoubtedly makes the risk of investment increase sharply.
Although China Film's cinema chain can still provide enough screen support for Wu Yusen's films, in the case of the confrontation between Lin Yuquan and Wu Yusen, choosing to invest in Wu Yusen's movies is obviously standing on the opposite side of Lin Yuquan, not afraid of Lin Yuquan's strength, but there is no need to offend Lin Yuquan, after all, Lin Yuquan is now in full swing, and his status as a top rich man is even more appalling, he is only the current chairman of China Film, and it will not be in a few years, why do you want to do such a thing that offends people?
What's more, he is very optimistic about Lin Yuquan, a little fellow who is also from the land of Bashu, Lin Yuquan's Shuguang Film and Shuguang Cinema Line also have a close cooperation relationship with China Film, and as Shuguang Film and Shuguang Cinema Line grow stronger, it will also have an increasingly important impact on the future development of China Film.
After thinking about it, Han Shanping decisively dialed the phone of the secretary outside: "Notify the heads of various departments to have a meeting." ”
"Wow, Brother Yuquan, your trick is too powerful." Liu Yifei.
"Yuquan, wouldn't this be too cruel, Wu Yusen is also a movie senior." Liu Shishi.
"Awesome, Yuquan, that's the way it is." Wang Luodan.
After talking on the phone with some friends, Lin Yuquan, who was sitting on the sofa, had a glint in his eyes, and this was just the beginning.
"Yuquan, you mean to sponsor the association's annual commendation meeting next year?" Feng Bigang looked at Lin Yuquan in surprise.
At this time, Huang Jianxin, Chen Kaige, He Ping, Li Shaohong and other presidents and vice presidents of the film association almost all gathered in Lin Yuquan's villa.
"That's right, for a long time, there has been a lack of real influence, credible awards, although the Huabiao Award and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award are grand in scale and high status, but due to the influence of certain factors, there are very strict and difficult to change the problem, so it has been criticized for a long time. Previously, our annual commendation conference was more like self-entertainment, and did not really play the role of holding a commendation conference, why can't we make it the most influential award in China? No, why not make it the most influential film award in the Chinese-speaking world? Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"It's not easy, it not only requires funding, but it also takes a long time, after all, the authority of the award is not established all at once." Huang Jianxin frowned and said.
"I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we do it with our hearts, we will definitely succeed, and compared with the Golden Horse Awards, the Academy Awards and other film festivals, we have a lot of advantages, first of all, we have enough directors, actors, screenwriters, sufficient film talents in all aspects, and we also have a huge film backing, we are really willing to do it, compared to the Golden Horse Awards, the Academy Awards, it is easier to succeed." Lin Yuquan said confidently.
"What are you going to do with the rain spring?" Li Shaohong asked.
"First of all, in the setting of awards, we want to add technical awards on the basis of the current one, not as good as photography, editing, visual effects, original film music, etc., secondly, our evaluation must be rigorous and fair, and secondly, we must attract mainland filmmakers to actively participate and increase the public's attention to the commendation conference, I plan to sponsor at least 10 million, and after discussing with major film companies, I decided that my only requirement is when the Golden Horse Awards will hold the award ceremony, and when will our annual commendation conference be held." Lin Yuquan said in a deep voice.
"Oh, isn't that a fight with the Golden Horse Awards?" There was an exclamation in the living room.
"That's right, it's the ring, only by killing the Golden Horse Awards, can we become the most influential award in the Chinese-speaking world, do we still need to be merciful to our competitors? We have better and better support from the mainland market, and we are already invincible, so why not do it? Lin Yuquan said brightly.
"I'm for it." Chen Kaige was the first to agree.
"Agreed." "Do it!" "There's no reason not to." Others then took a stand.
"Okay, let's make a charter, I'm going back to Los Angeles to do the post-production of the movie, you can do the work, and I'll do the money." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Yuquan, how can there be someone like you." Feng Bigang scolded with a smile.
"I knew I was wrong, so I had a treat in the evening to celebrate this day worthy of Chinese cinema."
"Haha, this can be there."
"That's right." (To be continued......)
