Undoubtedly, it is inevitable that many of Hong Kong's top directors and screenwriters can be shortlisted for the top eight in the eyes of the top directors and screenwriters, and the eight works on the selection will be signed for filming, but it is not without controversy.

For example, Luo Jinhui and Liu Yongjian, the creators of "Eight Immortals Hotel: XX Barbecued Pork Bun", are not newcomers in the circle, and they also created some scripts a few years before their debut, but they are not very famous, but as soon as this "Eight Immortals Hotel: XX Barbecued Pork Bun" comes out, it is estimated that there should be film companies that take the initiative to sign a contract with them or even cultivate them in the future.

Although "Eight Immortals Hotel: XX Barbecued Pork Bun" is based on a horrific murder tragedy that happened in Macau a few years ago, I have to say that this script is really brilliantly written, and it is quite thrilling to outline the original murder tragedy with unknown information just by imagination. Therefore, in the first round of tile selection stage, when Chen Jingsheng, who was in charge of the first trial, gave a four-star evaluation, and Xu Ke, who was re-examined, gave almost the same comment. But both of them saw that this was a script that could be small and big, and if it was filmed, it could not become a dark horse at the box office for a season.

In contrast, newcomer screenwriter You Naihai's "Barefoot Kid" and fellow newcomer screenwriter Zhuo Bing's "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty" are quite controversial.

The former You Naihai's "Barefoot Kid" is too literary and artistic, and the commercial component is insufficient, and several judges are not very satisfied with its second half and ending, reminding that it is best to modify it so as not to let the audience not buy it, but You Naihai still can't listen to it, although the writing is better and better, but the story line and ending have never changed.

Although You Naihai is Wei Jiahui's apprentice and is now the contracted screenwriter of ATV, Lin Xiaozhi reviewed this work twice during the 'Script Competition', but he only reluctantly gave Samsung to let him know Guò based on his future achievements. Judging from his experience, the intended investment of this script is nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the script is too literary and artistic, and the current audience market is not as acceptable to tragedy as it was in previous years, so although the script is good, it is difficult to recover the cost. However, Er Dongsheng was quite optimistic about this script, and the only time he reviewed it, he gave it a five-star praise, and even took the initiative to contact You Naihai, who seemed to intend to buy the script after the script competition.

Compared with the praise of "Barefoot Boy", Zhuo Bing's "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty" has a bad reputation. This script is obviously ready to take the Fengyue route, so the movie can only get a third-level rating when it is made, although Fengyue movies have been in the Hong Kong market for a lot in recent years, except for Lin Xiaozhi, who doesn't care much about giving four stars, Zhang Haijing and Huang Baiming are more optimistic about its profitability after remaking movies.

Long Xiao and Zhang Mingda's "Laughing Eight Immortals" and "Superman in Troubled Times" are two traditional Hong Kong-style, pee, and fart comedies, the script is somewhat innovative and the shooting difficulty is not too high, which can be called a model script with a small cost, and because of this, many judges have given them a high score.

However, if you want to say the best scripts in the first 'Script Competition', there is no doubt that there are three "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Hurricane Rescue" and "New Drunken Fist".

Because of the butterfly effect brought about by Lin Xiaozhi's rebirth, Xinyicheng, which should have become history, and Princess Jin has a momentum of resurrection in the past two years. Therefore, Gu Dezhao, a screenwriter genius who was supposed to have a conflict with his master Gao Zhisen in the past two years, also got a broader stage to display his talent, so the script that was originally secretly written and sold to Yongsheng a year later was now created in 92, and he also resisted the temptation of the sky-high buyout fee of Huanya and Lin Xiaozhi, it seems that the script has been bought in advance by Xinyicheng.

Chen Bo, the screenwriter of "Hurricane Rescue", is from Media Asia and is a very talented screenwriter that Lin Xiaozhi is now focusing on cultivating. He joined Media Asia in early 91, Chen Bowen, who graduated from the Chinese Department of Baptist College, was outstanding, and at that time, Lin Xiaozhi was expanding the screenwriting team, so he was included in the screenwriting team, and he also assisted in completing several scripts for more than a year.

"Hurricane Rescue" can't be completely Chen Bo's work strictly speaking, but the original idea for this script did come from him. Media Asia has always encouraged screenwriters to write their own scripts, and will buy out and adapt some high-quality and creative scripts at a high price. At the beginning of the year, Chen Qi came up with an idea, a policeman who was full of thinking about the case because he didn't care enough about the family, and his wife and son became more and more estranged from him, and finally he forgot about the promise to take him to Tokyo Disneyland on his son's birthday to play in order to handle the case, and after his wife who couldn't bear it quarreled with him, he angrily took his son and the two of them to Tokyo Disneyland by themselves, and by the way, he was also ready to go through divorce procedures with him.

In the end, the protagonist was still worried about his wife and children, so he asked his boss for leave and went to Tokyo. As a result, when he arrived at the place, he did not see his wife and son, but instead learned from the Japanese police in a chance encounter that a multinational human trafficking group had been operating frequently in Tokyo in the past two months, and that many foreign tourists had been kidnapped and disappeared. In order to save his wife and children, who were also murdered, the protagonist has to fight against evil.

After half a year, Chen Bo completed the script originally titled "Tiger Daddy" and submitted it to Lin Xiaozhi, who was also taken aback after reading it. In addition to the small pattern and a slightly weak plot, the filmability of this script is still very high. What surprised him even more was that the idea that Chen Bo thought of was quite similar to a European and American action movie more than ten years later in his memory - "Hurricane Rescue". He not only personally instructed Chen Bo to revise and improve the deficiencies of the script, but then bought out the script at a very high price, and prepared to invite the great director Wu Yusen to shoot it.

"New Drunken Fist" should be the next work prepared by Golden Harvest for Cheng Long, because Tang Minming and Ruan Jizhi are both signed screenwriters of Golden Harvest. As for why Golden Harvest used the script to participate in the first 'Script Competition', the reason is nothing more than the same idea as Media Asia, ready to train the next two screenwriters and create momentum for the filming of "New Drunken Fist", especially the second point is more important.

Because as we all know, Cheng Long's first famous work "Drunken Fist" was filmed in the late 70s more than ten years ago, and it was Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Pictures that invested in the filming of "Drunken Fist", and it has nothing to do with Golden Harvest. Although Siyuan Pictures' current strength is far from being comparable to Golden Harvest, Wu Siyuan has a wide range of contacts in the circle, and has also advocated brand protection in the circle in recent years.

Golden Harvest wants to shoot "New Drunken Boxing" and will definitely have a talk with Wu Siyuan, maybe he will take the initiative to give up some profits and pull him to invest together. In the past few years, good Hong Kong movies have been one after another, and there is a lot of atmosphere of continuing the continuation of the golden age, and it took so long to launch a sequel to "Drunken Fist", and how many viewers still buy it, even Golden Harvest itself has no bottom in his heart. It is estimated that it is also because of this that Golden Harvest will take out the script of this new work to participate in the 'script competition' to hype, after all, there is no need to worry about plagiarism after the script is exposed in advance.

Not to mention that the judges who participated in the 'Script Competition' are all well-known people in the industry, and they attach great importance to their reputation, in addition to the fact that the film association's storage zài has also put an end to the possibility of plagiarism or leakage of the participating scripts. In the third negotiation in mid-October, the film industry finally reached a consensus with the British government in Hong Kong that the Hong Kong Electricity Inspectorate will jointly appoint 9 reviewers to review the film in the future, of which 4 reviewers will be recommended by the Film Association, and 5 will continue to be appointed by the Film and Entertainment Department, and the term of office of the reviewers will be changed for two years to prevent long-term malpractice.

Although it seems that the film association still has less influence on film censorship than the film entertainment department, considering that the British government in Hong Kong has never delegated this power to civil society organizations for more than half a century, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a huge victory for the film association. The fact that the Hong Kong Film Association has now nominated four reviewers to participate in the review and rating of films is enough to ensure its status in the Hong Kong film industry.

At the same time, the two sides also reached a consensus to crack down on shoddy and plagiarized works, and the Film Association promised to take the initiative to contact major film companies and theaters to prohibit their release, while the Film and Entertainment Department will cooperate with other government agencies to strictly investigate and prevent such works that violate the market order from obtaining filming qualifications and passing the review.

Undoubtedly, the scripts from these three giants of cinema were the best of the first 'Script Competition', and it is no surprise that the best screenplays of the first 'Script Competition' will be selected from among them.

Since the list of the top eight was only announced, Lin Xiaozhi only chose to attend the ceremony and read out the list, and did not participate in the aftermath of the event. And now the news that Li Jiaxin gave birth to a pair of twins for him has already spread in Hong Kong, and everyone knows that he is really busy now, so no one is gossiping about it behind his back.

However, for Lin Xiaozhi, the busy days did not end with the birth of his son, on the contrary, he can now be regarded as the busiest time of the year.

Since Lin Xiaozhi fell out with the Academy Awards at the Academy Awards ceremony at the beginning of the year, the original contract with TVB has expired, and the Academy Awards Organizing Committee and the "Film Fortnightly" behind it immediately stopped negotiations with ATV after cooperating with ATV to report on the Academy Awards ceremony.

It's just because I'm afraid that after renewing my contract with TVB, Media Asia, which has now become the leader of the Hong Kong film industry, joined forces with a series of film companies attached to Media Asia to boycott the Academy Awards, and finally the director zhì, the highest gold award for Hong Kong films that has been born for more than ten years, came to naught, so no matter how much the Academy Awards Organizing Committee and "Film Fortnightly" did not resent Lin Xiaozhi for not giving face, they did not make a move to stimulate Media Asia to start a new business with him, and as a result, the renewal of the Academy Awards was delayed. So much so that after August, many media in Hong Kong frequently discussed 'whether next year's Academy Awards will be suspended', 'Will Lin Xiaozhi start another Academy Award', and so on.

Fortunately, after the stalemate between the two sides for more than half a year, the Academy Awards, which could no longer be delayed, compromised first, and the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly" personally visited ATV in early October, and then did not mention the previous war of words with Lin Xiaozhi, and discussed the live broadcast cooperation of the Academy Awards in the next three years.

Although Lin Xiaozhi once had the idea of relying on ATV and the media channels in his hands to build another 'Academy Award' if he couldn't get along with the Academy Awards, but the Academy Awards have been established for more than ten years, not only establishing the authority of the first Chinese film award, but also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So as soon as the Academy Awards compromised, he immediately sent someone to have a serious talk with "Film Fortnightly".

After more than half a month of negotiations, the two sides quickly reached a consensus under mutual compromise. ATV bought out the live broadcast and broadcast rights of the Academy Awards for the next five years for 25 million Hong Kong dollars over five years, and also had the privilege of first renewing the contract with the Academy Awards for another three years after the expiration of the contract, and will also be absorbed into the Academy Awards as a representative of the TV media as one of the judging panels. In addition, almost all the other things Lin Xiaozhi wanted were also obtained.

For example, he requested that the final box office + videotape and other channel income of the film be included in the basic conditions of the award selection together with the opinions of film critics and the audience's reputation, instead of the opinion of film critics as the main thing in the past few years, followed by the audience's word-of-mouth, and the box office income is insignificant, so that the film with a box office income of less than two or three million Hong Kong dollars in the city is always staged as a dark horse to win the award, and at the same time, the Academy Awards also accepted the appointment of a director of the Film Association to enter the organizing committee to supervise the following award members.

Of course, in exchange, ATV not only issued a more generous live broadcast buyout contract than TVB (12 million in three years), but also got Lin Xiaozhi's promise, ATV and Lin Xiaozhi's major media will continue to carry out the first two and second level of publicity for the Academy Awards from December to the opening of the Academy Awards in March of the following year, so as to help the Academy Awards gain more social attention!
