Chapter 901: Chinese Film and Television Promotion Association
"The best film of the XXth Hong Kong Film Awards is..." Jackie Chan announced with a smile, and finally handed it to Zhang Ziyi, who announced the final answer.
""One Thought of Ignorance", congratulations!"
When the answers came out, they were beyond Chen Hao's expectations. He didn't expect it to be like this in the end. His first reaction was that it seemed a bit balanced, but on second thought, it wasn't quite the same. This film is a film that has no one except himself. A complete Xiangjiang movie, from style to story, from pictures to scenes, from humanities to colors, it is all made in Xiangjiang. It is not an exaggeration to give it the best film.
The best film award belongs to the entire crew. Unfortunately, Xiao Di did not arrive at the scene. All the crew members walked onto the stage. In the camera, Chen Kexin and Jet Li both stood up and hugged Chen Hao. The rest were All of them were given to actresses who are familiar with him, which can be regarded as downplaying the slight embarrassment just now, and more taking over what Ah Sa just said. We Haozi have the best relationship with women.
The main creators of "One Thought of Wuming" all stood on the stage. At a glance, everyone felt that it was not unreasonable for this film to beat "The Name of the People". Except for Chen Hao, look at the teams from various departments from the actors to the crew. The members are all familiar faces and old acquaintances active in various crews in Hong Kong.
It has an authentic flavor of Hong Kong, with enough depth of exploration, and very commendable performances. Such an art film, with black and white color, can still get tens of millions at the box office in Hong Kong. The money earned is a trivial matter. The influence of this film is the main reason why the style of this film is elevated.
More and more people are paying attention, and social welfare and caring people have also organized various activities. It is not only about caring for the group of people in the film, not only calling on everyone to face up to all kinds of groups, but also a variety of activities. This kind of love and enthusiasm, because this film has become a hit, Eric Tsang, as the ambassador of love, runs between various activities. When Chen Hao flew back and forth, he briefly stopped in Hong Kong twice and participated in two activities. And in the name of the crew, he donated 10 million to set an example and use it for welfare and care activities.
Chen Hao did not give an acceptance speech, but gave this opportunity to the crew and people standing on the stage. When Eric Tsang and Jin Yanling saw this, they just said simple words, leaving more time for everyone to care for the people behind the scenes of film and television production. This is also an act of caring. Many of them have little chance to stand on such a stage. Even if you have enough qualifications and have won a behind-the-scenes award and stood on the stage, few people will come to see you. What's more, He won’t remember who you are, and he didn’t listen to your acceptance speech. Maybe when watching the live broadcast, when a winner who didn’t know the award and didn’t know what the award was, came on stage, many viewers were in front of the TV and computer, holding He was scrolling through other things on his phone or sending messages without paying attention at all. When you get off the phone and a celebrity or award he is interested in appears, he will concentrate on watching TV and the content inside.
The Best Picture Award should prepare theaters to re-screen "One Thought" tomorrow to see how much more box office revenue the film can receive through the power of the Academy Awards.
What was even more lively was the cocktail party that followed. Almost everyone attended. In such an environment, it finally turned into an occasion for everyone to drink and chat. It is really rare. It is also rare for someone to invite so many people to a private dinner at one time. The atmosphere is like this today. There was something wrong, too. Everyone started attending the Hong Kong Film Awards cocktail party. In previous years, they just chatted casually, each worked on some collaborations, stayed for a while and then left separately. No one actually drank or ate. We really wanted to collaborate on a project or talk about it. I'm happy, I can form a bureau in private and feel more free.
It was different today. A little embarrassment at the award ceremony made everyone choose to chat instead of talking about work and expanding their network at this celebratory cocktail party. First, the famous group of people each held chairs and sat together. As we drank red wine and champagne and chatted, there were more and more people, and no one needed to make arrangements. Just move a chair and find a place to gather together. The service staff on site also made adjustments and brought some small fruit plates. The wine was also replaced one by one. As we chatted, the center of the conversation was the future of Xiangjiang movies and the future of Chinese movies. Many people were also willing to hear what Chen Hao thought. Every one of his works perfectly captures the He has captured the appetite of the audience and the times, and has successfully become his standard feature. Now he has carved out his own world in Hollywood. This is a bit like when Jackie Chan and Jet Li came back. Passing on what was there, we Sit together and chat and learn from each other's strengths.
There have been no real works there for several consecutive years, and the two have been completely marginalized there. Don't look at Jackie Chan winning the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. It is a kind of recognition for you, but in a more market-oriented system , if Jackie Chan takes on a Hollywood movie now, the salary will be at least the fourth tier among movie stars. In the past three years, whether it is Jackie Chan or Jet Li, you have not had a single movie in the North American market, and there is no box office. There is no remuneration.
Chen Hao did not chat in an overly public manner, nor did he want to irritate Jackie Chan and others. He was just a guide. Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who already love chatting, have rich experience there. Being marginalized does not mean that they do not understand. It's just that he doesn't understand it as deeply as Chen Hao. As long as he brings up the topic, they will know the twists and turns. The same goes for the rest of the actors. Within the industry, no matter how different you are, it will always change. What should you do? If the people present here can really gather a unified opinion on the development of Xiangjiang Film and Chinese Film, everyone must carefully consider its influence in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Big directors, famous actors, and some film company bosses can get a glimpse of the whole situation. These people are sitting here, but they are definitely not drinking and chatting. Some words will be a weather vane when they are spread outside.
In fact, everyone can tell one or two about the problems faced by Chinese films, and they remain true to their origins. This has been the case for so many years. Where there is a good market, there will definitely be some sneaky people who want to destroy it - Sexually exploiting resources and wanting to obtain benefits at the lowest cost, this will inevitably lead to some fringe people following the trend. When these people follow the trend, it will harm the interests of some people. They feel that if they do not follow the trend It’s silly, I’m eating such a big piece of cake, why can’t I eat more? This is how a vicious cycle is created.
In the final analysis, after so many years, we still need to boycott it together. If we can't do it, then we should be ourselves and produce and distribute every drama with a conscience, and let the market let the audience decide what is good. Bad, let those shoddy and rubbish works be slowly eliminated by the market.
Of course, there is a question that absolutely cannot be avoided here, and that is what we, the people, should do.
Director, don't accept rubbish scripts.
Screenwriters should not just randomly adapt and create scripts just for money.
Actors, don’t take on junk scripts.
After all, in the minds of some people, this is still empty talk. No one has a personal relationship, and not everyone has strong self-strength to resist the oppression of some big companies. A big company can really put a script The film was filmed in front of you, and you were given enough remuneration. It was pressured by both relationships and favors. How could you refuse?
Two words, system.
In a word, it is a system suitable for the Chinese entertainment industry.
This night was not without any gains. Several big guys still got together and came up with a simple thing. Compared with stagnating in the same place, the basics returned to the basics, and they finally took a step forward.
Led by people like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Eric Tsang, a non-governmental organization was established to share some resources. This is said to the outside world. Internal resource sharing is only one aspect. The key is to give everyone a place to draw on. Big bosses, Brother, for the sustainable development of the industry, give some help to the younger generations. If the young people of the younger generations really encounter some troubles, please ask for help. Those that can be easily solved will be solved first, and those that are difficult will not be solved for the time being. In this way, the market will inevitably There will be fewer films that simply care about making money, and the few remaining ones will inevitably not be able to survive under the laws of the market.
At this point in the conversation, everyone looked at Chen Hao and envied him for working with a group of visionaries. If not for this, he would not have been able to develop so fast.
Finally, everyone raised a toast together: "I wish there will be more visionary partners in our industry."
As the night passed, the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards and Chen Hao's Home Invincible were the things that everyone paid attention to on paper. Offstage, everyone was paying attention to the content of the reception. Under the current system, every hour All steps are leaps and bounds. Did you have a drink yesterday and be done with it?
Chen Hao privately donated one million to the non-governmental organization to find a venue for listing. His actions sent a signal that yesterday was not a drunken complaint. Once there is one person, there will be a second person, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Simon Yam, Eric Tsang, Peter Chan, Sylvia Chang, etc., all of them have been able to contribute, and the rest directly publicly expressed their intention to join this non-governmental organization.
The organization itself does not need much operating capital. After Jackie Chan provided a venue, everyone could use their efforts casually, and Chen Hao's one million was directly put on the account.
China Film and Television Promotion Association.
The official listing was quietly established amidst the ridicule and contempt of some people, the expectations of some people, and the indifference of some people. There was no big move. More than a month passed without any movement, leaving those who saw the joke. People from time to time make fun of the China Film and Television Promotion Association, especially some company bosses who specialize in making money in the film and television industry. They will also joke with various artists in private: "Your China Film and Television Promotion Association, why hasn't there been any movement? No. You will tell me that you are also involved, and if you get closer to those big shots who drink and talk eloquently, you may not have any chances. "
This taunt, this hatred is worth pulling, it's solid.
