Chapter 107: Give a Mao face
""Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Manslaughter" were defeated, Xudong, do you have anything to say?"
"Nothing to say... Normal operation..."
"Normal operation?"
"The Academy Awards are a group vote in the Hong Kong film industry, and there is an inevitable human factor, I am an outsider in Hong Kong, and it is normal to not win the award..."
The 26th Academy Awards have come to an end, but the noise it brings is far from over.
Golden Harvest is a big defeat this time!
I didn't give a single important award, only a few technical awards for photography, editing, visual effects, and sound effects!
Oh, and the best martial arts instructors...
Shen Xudong simply didn't go to the official dinner, and directly took the "Stone" crew to leave the venue...
Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan also went to the official dinner...
After all, they are the benchmark figures of the Hong Kong Film Association - the Academy Awards are awards jointly selected by the 'Academy Award voters' composed of 13 Hong Kong professional film associations!
As for the crews of "Manslaughter" and "Tailor", they basically left.
A bunch of reporters blocked the door, interviewing Shen Xudong.
If you want to talk about other awards, it doesn't matter if you don't give them, and the script awards for "Manslaughter" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" are not given!
Shen Xudong.
Venice, the winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, actually lost the Academy Award?
This thing is so.
"So, do you mean that the selection mechanism of the Academy Awards is unfair and discriminates against mainland filmmakers?"
Shen Xudong didn't plan to save face for the Academy Awards, so he said directly: "Isn't this obvious... I admit that Liu Qingyun's acting skills are excellent, but his performance in "I Want to Be Famous" is not exciting, and Chen Daoming actually lost to him? In addition to Hong Kong, at the Academy Awards, anywhere in the world, Chen Daoming will win! ”
Those media were instantly excited, and this is what they wanted!
The reporter then asked again: "..."Manslaughter" lost the script award to "Father and Son"..."
Shen Xudong shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer...
"And what do you want to say?"
"Nothing to say... No, you can report: As long as I, Shen Xudong, am still the chairman of the board of directors of Golden Harvest, the films produced by Golden Harvest will no longer be submitted for the Academy Awards! ”
Hearing this answer, a group of media were stunned for a moment: "... Don't sign up? ”
It's too big!
Don't sign up directly?
Johnny To dragged it so much, he just announced that he would not participate in the Academy Awards, and Galaxy Images' movies still have to apply for the Academy Awards...
“… Yes, all the works I participate in will not be submitted for the Academy Awards in the future. ”
"Is that still in Hong Kong?"
"Nonsense, why is it no longer released in Hong Kong? What's the matter, can they decide the awards and what movies the audience likes to watch? ”
"Xudong, the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"..."
"The project has been approved, and filming will start next month..."
"Filming starts next month? But director Li Rengang and Andy Lau..."
Shen Xudong smiled: "The Three Kingdoms series has a complete shooting plan, thank you to Director Li Rengang and Liu Tianwang for making a good start..."
"So, you're going to change actors?"
"Yes... When it is released, I hope you will promote it a lot! ”
……
Shen Xudong is completely angry!
First the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", then the Academy Awards...
It's clear that it's aimed at him.
The problem is, you have to have good work.
You take "Father and Son" against "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Manslaughter"...
Wouldn't it be too outrageous?
Preservation of the place of the red fruit fruit!
Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are also very depressed, especially Sammo Hung, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" brought him back to the top - the mainland box office is 203 million, the Hong Kong box office is 38 million, Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Japan have sold 26 million US dollars, including Europe and the United States, and foreign ports have been sold...
Actually only won the Best Cinematography and Best Action Design awards?
But he can't do anything, he himself is also a participant in the Academy Awards - perhaps the most helpless thing in life is to watch the beautiful world in his heart come to an end step by step.
I heard that at last night's drinking party, Sammo Hung scolded Chen Jiashang, chairman of the Academy Awards, saying that he couldn't understand the current situation...
Sammo Hung can of course scold Chen Jiashang - Sammo Hung founded Debao and invested in Chen Jiashang's first few plays: "Little Man Weekly", "Three's World"...
As for Jackie Chan, he is probably used to it - the Academy Awards are sponsored by "Film Fortnightly", and film review magazines must be inclined to the New Wave gang, who naturally despise Jackie Chan's action movies and entertainment films.
It's not just that they are depressed, but the media and Internet in the mainland have completely scolded the sky:
"The Golden Statue is a self-congratulatory enclosure, relying on the influence of Hong Kong films to get attention, Hong Kong movies are lonely, and the Golden Statue is naturally lonely."
"When it's time to talk about professionalism, talk about people's feelings, when it's time to talk about people's feelings, when it's time to be open, when it's time to be open, to be open-minded, and when it's time to protect the locality, open the door. For a while, respect for the old and love the young, and for a while, the six relatives do not recognize, and the main thing is that it is out of place. ”
"Starting from the mother of the New Wave, Liang Li Shaoxia, this Academy Award has been so deserved, and now it has only been exposed more nondescriptively."
"The Organizing Committee of the Mader Golden Statue, don't always blame TVB for not bidding for broadcast rights, don't always think about cooperating with mainland TV stations, don't always want to make a big news, improve your posture level a little more, you don't have to be a good award, but please be a good person."
"It's embarrassing, Xudong won't go next time!"
……
All kinds of abuse on the Internet, the media and film critics in Hong Kong are also following the popularity - some stand for Shen Xudong, and some say that Shen Xudong doesn't understand art...
Film critic Shu Qi said, 'A visitor from the mainland doesn't understand Hong Kong movies, and the most important thing about Hong Kong movies is Hong Kong flavor... I'm happy to witness Golden Harvest's failure! ’
There is also irony: 'Venice, the Academy Award for Best Screenplay lost the Academy Awards, the Academy Awards are really amazing!' ’
But there is a consensus on Shen Xudong's withdrawal from the Academy Awards: this matter is likely to affect the 'authority' of the Academy Awards...
After all, after Shen Xudong became the owner of Golden Harvest, the movies he shot were all heavyweight-"New World" is still being released!
Four weeks after the release of "New World", the box office exceeded 40 million, surpassing "Zhao Zilong".
The No. 1 and No. 2 movies at the box office will not participate in next year's Academy Awards?
According to the original words of the media: Shen Xudong's anger caused the Hong Kong Film Association to fall apart!
And then what?
The person in charge of the Hong Kong Film Association came first, Shen Xudong didn't see him at all, and then, the officials from the mainland came and conveyed the central idea: cross-strait co-production is the mainstream, and Golden Harvest cannot destroy the general environment...
In a word: the harmony between the two places should focus on the overall situation.
Of course, it's not that there are no benefits at all, for example, shooting a little bit of shooting funds or something...
Shen Xudong has always been very interested in the organization... obeyed, nodded in agreement on the spot, and then the next day, an internal announcement was issued: From this year onwards, the works controlled by Shen Xudong will no longer participate in any activities of the Academy Awards, as for its artists, in principle, they do not make requirements, and they will consider themselves.
I can't go wrong if I don't participate myself, right?
