Entering this era, the Crooked Movie collapsed. It is mainly manifested in the serious decline in film production, and the inability to guarantee the corresponding quantity of production, let alone quality. Then there are young filmmakers who are greedy for shortcuts. Everyone is vying to make art films, which destroys the whole idea. Looking back on this fatal period, in fact, there were problems in many aspects, and it was never possible that the impetuous mentality of filmmakers made the film unrecoverable.
The Golden Horse Awards are a direct reflection of the rise and fall of crooked films, so there are fewer and fewer crooked movies. The quality is worrying. If there is enough pre-era means to cover up to a certain extent, when the post-era means arrive, the crooked movie really doesn't even have a fig leaf, and there is no need to deceive yourself for the Golden Horse Awards, which has internal and external troubles. If the Golden Horse Awards had rested on their laurels, their lights would have long since been extinguished with the decay of the Crooked Films.
The film can be called the benchmark of Chinese films in terms of investment, shooting and technology, and the global box office results of the United States dollar are firmly occupying the runner-up in the global box office list. This is almost an insurmountable height for current Chinese-language films. Because the film was financed and shot by Paramount, the film was not entered as a foreign language film. Tsui Hark's idea was to directly impact the Oscar awards, so he didn't think about the Golden Horse Award in the first place.
But the success of the film has a huge impact on the world, and as the only actor from the film from the bend, Lin Zhiling was invited to serve as the image ambassador of the Golden Horse Awards. Generally, the image ambassador of the Golden Horse every year is selected from the actors in the films that year, but this time the organizer made an exception to invite Lin Zhiling to serve as this image ambassador, mainly because he is optimistic about her international influence as a local film actor.
If it is said that starring in the role made all overseas movie audiences know Lin Zhiling, then her subsequent relationship with Paramount Chairman Lin Mu made many Hollywood fans familiar with it. Although James Chimeron's new film has not yet been released, it can be seen from the promotional poster that she plays an important role, and everyone does not doubt that after this film, Lin Zhiling will become the leading actress in the showbiz.
The organizer also invited Lin Zhiling to be the on-site host of this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony, which in the eyes of ordinary people is nothing more than trying to attract the audience with Lin Zhiling's popularity. Increase viewership. Moreover, Lin Zhiling herself is a popular program host, and the organizer's arrangement is reasonable in every aspect.
To increase the impact of a film award. The organizers usually invite some heavyweight guests to attend, but the current status and influence of the Golden Horse Awards are difficult to invite those who have a pivotal position in the international film industry.
Firmly tied Lin Zhiling and this Golden Horse Awards, the organizer is actually a drunkard, not drinking.
It's not hard to see from the recent entertainment news. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between Lin Zhiling and Lin Mu is now in the honeymoon period of love, and the organizer took the opportunity to send an invitation to Lin Mu, even if Lin Mu himself is unwilling to attend, he has to take care of his girlfriend's face, and it should not be difficult to hold a show.
Received an invitation from the organizer of the Golden Horse Film Awards. Lin Mu is really hesitant, although he is a frequent visitor at the Oscars, he is not the kind of person who likes to show his head. In addition to being invited to attend the Cannes International Film Festival twice, even the Golden Globe Awards, a local film in the United States, invited him as a guest of honor many times, but he refused them one by one.
Although the foundation of the film was much better than that of Xiangjiang at the beginning, due to many political reasons, there has been no major development. In the era when Hong Kong films swept across Asia, Hong Kong Films once had the courage to call Hollywood movies, but Crooked Films could not even occupy a share of its own local market, let alone make any big achievements.
In fact, there is no shortage of talent and heritage in the movie of Crook. Although there are occasional amazing filmmakers like Ang Lee and Brigitte Lin, they became famous just as Ang Lee went to Hollywood. Lin Qingxia also followed the east wind of Xiangjiang movies to become popular all over Asia. Even the current Lin Zhiling has become famous in the international film industry by relying on Hollywood and Xiangjiang co-produced movies. None of the influential movies in Wanwan became popular by Wanwan himself. The embarrassment encountered by the bend is also the embarrassment encountered by the Golden Horse Awards.
The biggest problem facing the Golden Horse Awards is not the award itself, if it can get the best Chinese film every year, then its task is indeed completed, and the biggest thing that can't be completed is that others ignore it, and the beautiful idea becomes a rice cook. Since the crooked market is dispensable, why does it need to carry a Chinese film award with a weather vane meaning, which is an irony in itself.
Although Xiangjiang movies have also declined over the years. But the real problem of the Golden Horse Awards is here, local movies can't attract attention, you can't serve good food when you introduce foreign films, and others don't need to pay attention to you at all. Moreover, the bent people in the south are in a hurry after all, why is this stage all "outsiders". "It's not like that. In the past two years, Wanwan has completely moved towards democratization, but both economically and culturally, it has been constantly marginalized, just because the hinterland of the continent across the sea is too deep and the attraction is too amazing, and it is almost impossible for Wanwan to escape without being drawn into it.
Over the years, the head of the Golden Horse Awards has changed again and again, local veterans such as Wang Tong, film festival strongman Jiao Xiongping, until now the master-level Hou Xiaoxian, the Golden Horse Awards tried their best to build a high-rise building with different candidates, but it seemed to be too impatient. Cannes and Venice can make characteristics, the reason is that they have been controlled by a group of villains for many years, and if you scold him, you can damage him, and they are firm and unwavering.
The organizers of the Golden Horse Awards this time can be said to have tried their best, they first used local friendship to "trap" Lin Zhiling, and then hoped to rely on the personal relationship between Lin Damei and Lin Mu to invite this great god. It can be said that the organizers' small abacus is really good, but they ignore an important issue. Since Lin Mu can refuse to accept the award at the Oscars, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not embarrass the organizers at the Golden Horse Awards.
Lin Mu was really face-saving this time, he promised to attend the awards ceremony of this year's Golden Horse Film Awards as a person, but he refused to be the guest of honor, saying that he was here to attend the awards ceremony, but that he was here to support his girlfriend.
Of course, there must also be a cheering appearance, on the Golden Horse red carpet, Lin Zhiling, as the on-site host of the awards ceremony, and Lin Mu appeared in the finale. This is the first public appearance of the two in front of the media after the relationship between Lin Mu and Lin Zhiling became public. Lin Chiling's white low-cut dress is elegant and sexy, which complements Lin Mu's black suit.
Black and white is an eternal classic, and the two of them are dressed today to confirm this very well, whether in terms of height or temperament, the two are a perfect pair in front of the camera.
As soon as the two appeared, the screams of fans and the flashing lights of cameras on both sides of the red carpet flooded the entire venue. Lin Zhiling in front of the camera had a happy smile on her face, and Lin Mu was wearing sunglasses from the beginning, so he didn't have to steal the limelight with his girlfriend in front of the media. Because Lin Zhiling was together, Lin Mu looked very "reasonable" on the red carpet this time. He even took the initiative to cooperate with several media requests to take pictures.
The reporters who had been waiting outside the venue immediately surrounded the two after they walked off the red carpet, and Lin Zhiling refused to be interviewed by reporters because she still had to serve as the host of the award ceremony and go backstage to make some preparations before the ceremony officially began. And Lin Mu didn't have such good luck, reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan had already prepared a lot of questions, and in this kind of public occasion, he couldn't openly refuse.
"Chairman Lin, it is the most successful work of Chinese films in recent years, it is said that the judges of the Golden Horse Awards have sent an invitation to the film, but director Tsui Hark has refused the Golden Horse Award, as the producer of the film, what do you think about this matter?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of film awards. has its own basic regulations, and the Golden Horse Awards must also have restrictions in this regard, it can't do it in the air, and give out awards indiscriminately. The film is a co-production between Hollywood and Hong Kong, and the film does not fully meet the judging requirements of the Golden Horse Awards in some aspects, so I can only express regret that I did not participate in this Golden Horse Award competition." Lin Mu's statement is very euphemistic, and it is difficult to say that the film is directly aimed at the Oscars on such an occasion. The Golden Horse Awards are not on the producer's agenda at all.
"The judging scope of the Golden Horse Awards is becoming more and more diverse. A lot of foreign films are being introduced. Chairman Lam, the most senior filmmaker, how do you interpret this trend? The reporter who asked the question first brought a high hat to Lin Mu before throwing out his own question.
"I have noticed that in Xiangjiang and Wanwan, when the term Chinese film appears, the word corresponding to it must be foreign film. For the Virgins, a foreign film is a Hollywood movie. For the Japanese, it doesn't matter if it's a foreign film. For Indians, there is no such thing as a foreign film. For audiences in the mainland, Xiangjiang and Wanwan, foreign films are a flood of beasts, and superstitious Hollywood abounds. When it comes to Chinese-language films, it is to lay a good foundation, make yourself bigger, and compete with foreign films. Personally, I don't appreciate this argument, using Chinese films to enter the North American market, provided that your Chinese films have been accepted by local audiences, otherwise there is no way to talk about it. Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally said what he thought.
"To say that all of you crooked media friends don't like to hear, in the Chinese film industry, crooked movies are the least qualified to mention this kind of argument. From the bottom of my heart, what do you think of the crooked movie. I think everyone, people know it very well! ”
"Many directors in Hong Kong have gone to Hollywood without a feather, but our crooked director, Mr. Ang Lee, has achieved great success, which seems to be inconsistent with what you just said!" Immediately, a crooked reporter retorted.
"Hollywood pursues the law of jungle competition, and it is a once-in-a-century encounter to be so successful as Ang Lee, and Chinese films finally have to start from themselves, hoping that Hollywood will come back to help you and save you, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. The Golden Horse Awards have done a great job at this, at least in the minds of the organizers, who have seen that bending alone is not enough to withstand the onslaught of Hollywood blockbusters. The introduction of foreign films is a hint to people at the Golden Horse Awards, it needs to list the concept of Chinese films, and tell people that if Chinese films want to be truly strong, they must move towards union! Lin Mu broke the organizer's mind with one word.
"So what do you think is the future direction of Chinese films?" The reporter who asked the question spoke fluent Mandarin, and Lin Mu thought he might be a journalist from the mainland.
"There is a heritage, there are people in Xiangjiang, there is a market in the mainland, and there is an incomparably large number of audiences in the Chinese-speaking circle. From any point of view, the future of Chinese-language films is very bright. If we look at the attitude of the Golden Horse Awards, it hopes to establish an evaluation system for the art-driven film industry. But art never conflicts with others. For Hong Kong, being a hitter means that everyone has something to eat, and it always hopes that the entire film industry can recover and drive the overall development. For the mainland, the increasingly open market has made audiences eager to get in touch with more films. In the future, Chinese films must realize the union of the two and three places, complement each other's advantages, and work together to achieve great development and progress! ”
"You yourself are the chairman of Paramount Pictures, the future of Hollywood movies is really related to your interests, and if Chinese films are strong, it doesn't mean that you will suffer losses, what do you think about this?" A reporter sharply raised this question.
"Many people think that the decline of Chinese-language films is due to the strong influx of Hollywood films, occupying the flat field that originally belonged to Chinese-language films, and I admit that there are such reasons, but this is not the fundamental reason for the decline of Chinese-language films."
"Hollywood exports American culture. The acceptance of Hollywood movies by audiences in Chinese-speaking areas only shows that they have accepted American cultural ideas. But that doesn't mean people abandon their culture. It is said that Hollywood movies have stolen the market of Chinese films, but real Hollywood movies have never set foot in the subject matter of Chinese films. This is like McDonald's, KFC, will Chinese stop eating rice soup dishes because of the emergence of Western food? ”
"The real reason lies in how Chinese films themselves tap their own potential and give full play to their own advantages. Look at it with an open eye. The film market can get bigger and bigger, which is different from food, movies belong to the needs of people's spiritual level, and the capacity of this demand is very large. The film also achieved good results overseas, but foreigners did not accuse the film of crowding out their market, but believed that excellent works could stimulate market consumption. Although this is a cultural difference, it is not without something worth thinking about."
