396 Copycat Oscars?
After the first question was thrown to Cai Ju, the second question was naturally Wu Yigong, the chairman of the Film Association.
Many people ignore this association, thinking that it is just a civil organization. This is a big mistake, and it is seriously stated that this is an organization of high-ranking officials. Therefore, Wu Yigong, the chairman of the Film Association sitting on the stage, is at the same level as Cai Ju of the General Administration, and they are both high-ranking officials.
Of course, many things of the Film Association are also subject to the leadership of the General Administration, but the level is the same.
This is like the principal of each high school is at the level of the main department, and the director of the education bureau of each county is also at the level of the main department, although the level is the same, but the principal of each high school in terms of management is under the control of the director of education.
This situation is very common in China, where many industries are at the same level, but the management rights are different.
There is no other question involved here, why is there a film association in the annual film awards?
The reason is very simple, such a big film award needs to be led by a high-ranking official unit, thinking that a private enterprise like Tuanhuo Culture can carry it?
Even a department-level unit like Huying Group can't carry it, and it must be endorsed by a high-ranking official unit, so that it can be authoritative. It's like why the Oscars are hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so that it is authoritative.
Just like the Venice International Film Festival was decided by the Italian government, and finally the city of Venice was selected, and finally the city of Venice was finally organized by the city of Venice to organize the world's first film award.
The same is true of Cannes, an international film festival founded in Cannes in 1936 by Jean Jay, Minister of Public Administration and the Arts of France, at the suggestion of Philippe Elangel.
These are government-led and government-led.
Therefore, if the annual film award wants to be authoritative, it must have an official endorsement, and the most qualified official in China is the Film Association.
Of course, in order to implement the idea of where to go in the early stage, Tuanhuo Culture signed a relevant agreement with the Lake Film Group and the Film Association, and the Film Association is not allowed to participate in the specific operation of the Film Awards, they are only a supervision unit and a listing unit.
The purpose of explaining so much is why the Film Guild is involved.
After Wu Yigong answered the reporter's question, the next thing was two officials from HUN province and city to answer the question, they were very official.
Then Wang Tiejun answered questions, and the reporter asked Wu Tiejun a few questions.
Then the media reporters can ignore the people in front of them, and all the questions in the back will go to where to ask, if it is not for the process, the reporters will not ask the people in front of them, what they want to ask the most.
"Where is the director, will you expect the effect of initiating this film festival, and what if it can't be achieved?"
This issue is not only a concern of reporters, but also a topic of concern for the authorities before, who always want to hold an influential film festival, but never think about whether it will fail or what to do if it fails.
"You asked this question very well, there is an old Chinese saying that you think about defeat before you think about victory, in fact, I have also thought about this question. If it doesn't work out, we'll continue to improve, year after year, until this film award has the desired effect.
No film award has been successful from the start, such as the first Berlin International Film Festival, which was only attended by 20 countries due to its low budget and small scale. The bombardment-devastated city was clearly not an ideal place to visit, and there were complaints about the bad weather and the reception work. Therefore, the first Berlinale was actually unsuccessful.
But did this affect Berlin to become one of the top three film festivals in the world? No, because they are constantly improving their work in the process. Therefore, I am not worried that the first annual film award will not be successful, because we are not doing this for a year, nor for one year, we will continue to do it. ”
He Fang's answer made the audience and the people in the audience nod with satisfaction, this is a more satisfactory answer for everyone.
"Director Where, this time you have mobilized so many international judges, if the film festival fails, will they all withdraw?" The reporter asked again.
"Of course not, because our film festival has opened a closed loop of the chain of interests, and I won't explain this one by one. The job of the international jury is to analyze the film and then give a score. What do the people who do their jobs rely on to make their income? How to support yourself? How to make a name for yourself?
We gave them the opportunity to make money and use their talents. Therefore, if the judges are authoritative enough, then the gold content of the film award must be very sufficient. As soon as the gold content of the film award is sufficient, then excellent movies will actively sign up for it.
And the more excellent movies participate, the more attention will be paid by public opinion and fans. The more attention it receives, the higher the commercial revenue generated by the film awards. And the higher the commercial income, the more money will be posted to the judges' income and the prize money of the award-winning film.
This is a big benign closed loop, as long as this closed loop is triggered, then the entire film award will not fail. He Fang explained.
"Director He, will you participate in this film award?" The journalist asked.
In fact, everyone understands the implicit meaning of the reporter's question, that is, who will guard the film award and let himself win.
"I won't sign up for my films, but other films from Tuanhuo Culture will. I'm sure everyone understands why I won't win, and it's okay to say that everyone will think that this award is fair. But what if I win an award? I think people will say that there is something wrong with my award.
So, for us personally, it's a bad thing and no benefit, and for the film awards, I'm not going to participate in it, which is a good thing for everyone.
However, in fact, we have adopted an open and transparent approach, that is, after the awards, everyone can see who voted for each award and what the evaluation is through the web background. It's an open and transparent process, and even if I want to influence thousands of judges, it's not an easy task.
But even so, there will be conspiracy theorists who will think that I will affect the fairness of the awards. Therefore, it is better not to participate, so that there will be no doubts and no trouble.
Of course, after the later film awards are on the right track, our Tuanhuo Culture will give up the right to host the film awards, after all, it will be more fair and just to make the film awards a third-party organization in the end.
But in the early stage, I was afraid that something would go wrong, and there were many things that could not be separated from me. For example, some international judges trust me more than other domestic organizations. ”
He Fang said that this matter is indeed a headache, if you want to be the host, you have to avoid suspicion, even if you obviously don't play tricks, but there will still be people who think you have tricks. This is to avoid being both an athlete and a referee, which will seriously affect the fairness of the film awards.
"But how many sessions do you think Tuanhuo Culture has held, and letting go is called getting on the right track?" The reporter also asked sharply.
"I can't judge this, but I'm sure it won't be more than 10 at most. Generally, after the film awards have been held for ten years, they have formed their own reputation and authority, and there is no need to rely on external forces. Of course, it is also possible that it will not be held for 10 years, depending on how influential the film awards have reached. ”
"Who is the director, why do you have to hold a film award that is similar to the Oscars? Did you think the Oscars were unjust? A reporter asked.
"Of course not, the Oscars have been able to run for nearly 100 years and still make the global audience trust, proving that it has a certain authority and fairness. But the Oscar also has its shackles, that is, its geographical and language restrictions.
The Oscars are only for films from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand in the English-speaking regions, with American films as the main focus. Every year, there are thousands of powerful films in the world, but unfortunately, because they can't join the Oscars and don't meet the standards of the three major film festivals, they don't get the awards they deserve.
Especially in the Asian region, the films of the Asian region are not mainstream either at the three major film festivals or at the Oscars. Therefore, we in Asia need a more democratic and fair film award with multiple judges, which is different from the European literary film award method. ”
He Fang replied.
"Then if the Oscars loosen the restrictions, will it have an impact on the Film of the Year Awards?" The reporter asked again.
"Of course, but it's not a fatal blow. It's like having the Cannes Film Festival, but it doesn't make Venice disappear. With Berlin, Cannes did not lose its influence either. Moreover, the world needs at least two or more top film awards. ”
He Fang's answer is very subtle, which means that the Oscars cannot be monopolized, and there are three more literary film festivals. There is only one way to Oscar, doesn't this make Oscar monopolized? That's not going to work.
"Director He Fang, as you said just now, you won't participate, but the film of Tuanhuo Culture will participate. Will this also make the awards unfair? "The reporter won't let it go.
"If it is a powerful film that wins the award, it will definitely be able to use its strength to block the mouth of the people, if the film does not have the strength to win the award, if this happens, then it will stand up as soon as possible and announce that the films under Tuanhuo Culture will never participate in the selection of the annual film awards.
I'm not trying to take advantage, but from the perspective of awards, any film in Asia has a chance to participate in the award, why can't Tuanhuo Culture? Personally, I can avoid suspicion, but I don't have to take down a piece, isn't that the truth? ”
……
Next, the reporter also asked some other questions about the film awards, and the whole press conference ended at about half past eleven o'clock at noon, and He Fang accompanied several leaders to dinner, and the reporters had already sent all the content of the press conference to the media for the first time.
Suddenly, a hot theory was formed on the Internet, #年度电影风云奖#这个话题也是以火箭般的速度冲上了热榜第一名.
"Isn't this the Asian version of the Oscars? Where, can you get a little creative? Don't copy everything Hollywood? ”
"Upstairs, you're wrong, this isn't the Asian version of the Oscars, this is the upgraded version of the Oscars. It's not plagiarism, it's improvement. Why not? ”
"Fart, copy is copy, just like Chinese knock-offs, can't there be a little independent innovation? Such plagiarism is humiliating. ”
"Copycats? Plagiarize? Then do you know that the United States copied Britain back then, so it became the world's first power. And Germany also copied Britain and became the first power in Europe. The island countries copied the United States and became the first in Asia. South Korea, on the other hand, is an island country, and now it is approaching the number one island country in Asia in all aspects. Tell me, which newly developed country is not copying? What happened to the Oscars? As long as it is improved in the process of copying, it is development. ”
At the end of the month, the monthly pass has been doubled, ladies and gentlemen, ask for a monthly pass!
