Chapter 396: Commercialized Academy Awards
readx;
If you want to say that Li Mingbao is definitely the most tossed person in Hong Kong now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info has just opened the circulation port of the United Cinema Line, and immediately thought of controlling the awards. Don't look at what Li Mingbao said in front of the sixth uncle, in fact, Li Mingbao is just a person who puts forward ideas now, and the specific situation has to be done by the sixth uncle and them to get things done.
Basically, Li Mingbao is now in this circle, which is equivalent to a leader, the so-called leader moves his mouth and breaks his leg below. Although the sixth uncle will not do errands, these things must be implemented, and the specific handler will definitely break his leg. And these managers must have little to do with Li Mingbao, because Li Mingbao has no suitable candidates in his hands, and his own industry has not been taken care of, where is there more effort to do these official things? Therefore, if Li Mingbao's idea is really implemented, only the sixth uncle has this ability.
Of course, the sixth uncle is also enjoying it. After all, being fooled by Li Mingbao, the connotation of the Academy Awards suddenly became lofty, and the years of pursuing interests have passed. And the Academy Awards is obviously used to brush prestige, not only can you brush your own people's prestige, but you can also give more people prestige, and there are people in the circle who have the strength to engage in this thing, and now there are only a few of them, and there are only a few of them, and they don't lack anything, if they want to do this properly, the sixth uncle is very confident.
Of course, while Li Mingbao told Uncle Six about these things, he also told Uncle Six that they had some taboo questions about this award, especially an award like the Academy Awards, which belongs to Chinese people around the world, must not be involved in political issues, and must remain neutral in the selection of this award.
The so-called neutrality means that it is best not to have Hong Kong's own political purpose, whether it is people from Taiwan, mainland China, or Chinese political groups in Singapore, they must follow the premise that politics is not involved.
If anyone violates such a rule, then the political film of that year and that region will not even be qualified for the primary. For example, if people from Wanwan come to participate in the Academy Awards, and the film submitted is a military education film, it will definitely not be possible. If the mainland wants to make some political films, it is impossible to agree, and no local group can submit this type of film, even if it is a local film, it cannot make a political film.
Of course, this premise is actually quite broad for Li Mingbao, not that kind of movies with even a little bit of political content can't stand it, if that's the case, many movies are not eligible to participate in the selection of the Academy Awards, because they either have support funds, or some talk about political issues, but the meaning of the movie itself has nothing to do with politics.
Li Mingbao doesn't want the Academy Awards to become another stage for political exchanges in the future, but it doesn't mean that he will be able to completely reject it, because the Academy Awards can't refuse such a thing, and anything can be involved in politics. Li Mingbao just doesn't want the Academy Awards to become a political platform, and movies with too strong thinking are really not suitable for wandering around the Academy Awards, even if he makes them well.
Li Mingbao's thoughts, the sixth uncle and a few of them also understood. Even Uncle Six understands better than Li Mingbao that if the Academy Awards become a political platform, then the credibility of this platform will definitely not be high, and it can only become a product of self-entertainment in a small circle at that time.
So as soon as Li Mingbao's proposal was proposed, the sixth uncle and they immediately agreed. After that, Li Mingbao expanded the scope of the new Academy Awards. After all, a film award that belongs to the global Chinese, if there are not enough awards and the arbitrariness is very large, it will also have a very bad impact, just like the previous Academy Awards, there are only five awards in total, what impact can it have?
The most important thing is to learn from Hollywood's commercialization methods for awards, divide the cake, only by dividing the small cake, will the big cake come back, too literary awards, is not conducive to the promotion of this award.
Therefore, we must be cautious about the judges of the Academy Awards, not only literary and artistic personnel, but also commercial personnel, anyway, there are well-known old-timers in the film circle, or people in the film circle who are already famous, can join the circle of judges. This requires not only people from Hong Kong, but also people from other places. In a word, since the Academy Awards are film awards that belong to Chinese people around the world, the scope of the judges should also be selected on a global scale.
Of course, many of the really professional filmmakers are academics, and people in this faction, generally speaking, prefer movies with relatively high artistry, if there are too many people in this faction, the Academy Awards will also become an award within the film circle, so in order to meet the ideas of the more public, or for more outsiders to consider, Li Mingbao and their judges, there must also be a certain proportion of outsiders, they may not know what the literary and artistic nature of the film looks like, but their audience's vision, It can also be seen that those films are more suitable for the public.
Basically, Li Mingbao of the Academy Awards is not going to be too literary, or too academic, a film award that belongs to the global Chinese, you can't make this award too professional, what do outsiders think? Li Mingbao believes that art can only have a basis for survival when the market is fully guaranteed.
If there is no market, no matter how artistic you are, you can only entertain yourself. At that time, only people in a small circle will watch movies, so what is the benefit of Chinese people around the world? Therefore, for the Academy Awards, Li Mingbao feels that the art aspect can be taken care of, but it should take more into account the feedback of the market. To put it simply, this award will be more commercial.
For this, whether it is Li Mingbao or the sixth uncle, they all agree very much. After all, in essence, they are actually bosses, although they are also people in the circle, but they are not the kind of people in the pure circle, they are more concerned about whether the film industry makes money, if they don't make money, it doesn't matter if the movie is done or not. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the academic school to give the academic school an advantage, in case those guys from the academic school come up with some movies that have no market at all to recommend, won't this award be completely influential?
Li Mingbao has considered all the things that should be considered, and the things that should not be considered have also made a beginning. Basically, after this meeting, the sixth uncle and they have more things to be busy with, and now the circulation port has not been completely stabilized, Li Mingbao is going to open a new project, to be honest, the sixth uncle and they all found that they have become more and more busy in the past year or two, and a large part of the reason for this busyness lies in Li Mingbao's sudden appearance, otherwise they would not have reacted so quickly.
After talking about these trivial things, Li Mingbao glanced at the Xiang brothers before he said in a solemn tone: "Regarding the problems in the movie, we have basically thought about it, and then we need to implement it step by step, and we will definitely gain a lot." And now there is a problem in front of us, if it is not handled well, it is easy to cause chaos.
Although it is impossible to affect those of us, it will affect the foundation of Hong Kong films. ā
"Li Sheng, what do you mean by that? We two brothers don't quite understand. We've all been honest lately, where can we have the ability to influence the foundation of the film industry? Xiang Huasheng saw that Li Mingbao was saying this to his two brothers, so he replied with some dissatisfaction.
"I am not saying this to you brothers, on the contrary, I am saying this to make you brothers pay attention to this issue. Not to mention anything else, after the Hong Kong government issued that notice, many people have taken a fancy to the business of movies, right? The number of people looking for your two brothers recently should not be a small number, right? Li Mingbao looked at Xiang Huasheng and said.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, the Xiang brothers' faces were not very good-looking.
"Li Sheng, there are indeed many people in the community who have been inquiring about this matter recently, and they all want to enter this industry. But what can be done? The British government in Hong Kong has opened this opening, can we still stop it? Although we have some strength, it is impossible for us to go against the associations in Hong Kong? Where there is money to be made, there are naturally people coming. Xiang Huaqiang said in a low tone.
Regarding this issue, the Xiang brothers are the most unhappy, the two brothers entered this industry at the beginning, and the cost was quite not small, and they gave money and wanted to be thugs. I haven't seen a place to make money, so I invested so much, and I was thinking about how to make money, and more people who grabbed food came in.
Although they have a seat in the United Cinema Line, it can be said that they have a great advantage, but their advantage is bought with money. But other clubs don't have much to pay at all, they can come in safely, and they can do something else. And they can't stop it, otherwise they will oppose the associations in Hong Kong, and this result is too much for the Xiang brothers to entangle. And now Li Mingbao is talking about this problem in front of the sixth uncle and several of them.
In the eyes of the Xiang brothers, this is completely the rhythm of slapping the face. And Li Mingbao also said that these guys will cause chaos, doesn't the meaning of these words mean that they want to let the Xiang brothers be evildoers? But can they be this wicked man? It's just a joke, unless the old and the new don't mix, otherwise in the face of so many people, where do they have the ability to take care of this matter?
