Chapter 1019 Gathering at Xiangshan (44)
Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet...
It's hard to say whether Shen Xudong is a duck, but he did feel the warmth of the water - he was woken up by the 'shout'...
I looked at the time, it was a little after 9 o'clock...
Shen Xudong: "Didn't I ask you to call me at 10 o'clock?"
Reba raised his head and whispered: "I heard that the day's plan begins in the morning..."
Looking at Reba in a black tulle skirt...
Shen Xudong...what can he do?
It was he who brought Reba to Hong Kong. He had also said before that everything he asked for would be answered, and people would not stand up if they had no faith. Shen Xudong was so young, how could he not stand up!
As the saying goes, I am ashamed that I will not receive undue kindness in my life, and I cannot bear to do it!
At three o'clock in the morning, after changing clothes, the two of them went downstairs to have breakfast, and then headed to the airport...
Shen Xudong is rushing to Xiangshan to attend the first Xiangshan Film Festival.
…
The first Xiangshan Film Festival has great publicity momentum, and the whole event is broadcast live on Weibo.
The Zhejiang government argued hard, and then the word "Film Festival" came into being. Otherwise, it would have to be renamed the Commendation Conference like the Directors Guild Awards...
In fact, in recent years, some domestic institutions and localities have also held some film festivals, but they are all called "film seminars", "film forums" and other titles, because if they were called "film festivals", they would not be approved to hold them.
Even BJ, a large capital city, when it opened an international film festival, it could only call it "BJ International Film Season" first. After it was approved to be held, it was changed to "Film Festival" the following year...
It really took a lot of effort to call the first Xiangshan Film Festival!
When hosting a film festival, the most important thing is the guests attending.
In its 40th year, the Golden Horse Awards really invited 40 Best Director winners!
The most important thing about an award is credibility, and credibility must first be convinced by everyone before it can be given the symbolic power of an award.
Let everyone know that receiving this award means that the recipient is excellent and outstanding. Winning the award is an honor.
Therefore, the process is to recognize the award by everyone, and the award recognizes you, which means everyone recognizes you.
You can see the importance people in the industry take it from the attendance rate, which is the most objective. Even if you know that you may not be the winner, sitting there that night is an honor in itself.
The Golden Rooster Awards is really embarrassing, the attendance rate is so low that it makes people speechless.
In many cases, there is only one person present, and the host has to yell hard and pretend to be very fierce. As expected, the person who attended won the award, and she also pretends to be surprised that it is me.
The Golden Wutong Award has been open to all Chinese people from the beginning, so the reference coefficient for nomination is Douban + Weibo. Ten films are selected for selection, and then five films are shortlisted...
"The Grandmaster", "Big Buddha", "Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart", "Sunshine Shines" and "Love"...
Best Director nominees include Wang Jiawei for "The Grandmaster", Zhang Yimou for "Big Buddha", Guo Fan for "Earth Fire", Li Ruijun for "Tell Them I Ridden on a White Crane" and Chen Kexin for "The Chinese Partner"...
Originally I wanted to nominate Shen Xudong, but Shen Xudong was the organizer and so to avoid suspicion, his film was deleted...
In addition, the competition for best actress is definitely the fiercest: Zhang Ziyi in "The Grandmaster", Chen Hao in "Dear", Gong Li in "Love", Yan Bingyan in "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" and Ye Lan in "Beautiful Sister"...
Best Actor... It is basically confirmed that "Love" and "The Grandmaster" will compete. Most of them believe that Director Chen will win the award without any suspense...
Shen Xudong posted a hero post to ensure that every nominee could come, and then invited Jackie Chan, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Han Shanping, and Tsui Hark to serve as award guests...
In addition, most of the popular stars have been invited, whether it’s the four-day double ice cream or the four beauties, including several of the most popular niche students, and even EXO and Girls’ Generation were invited...
To gain attention!
Now, EXO and Girls' Generation are indeed very popular. This is an indisputable fact. Moreover, the film and cultural exchanges between China and South Korea are in the honeymoon period.
EXO's Park Chanyeol starred in "So I Married a Black Fan" produced by Bona, and Lin Yoona even starred in "Martial God Zhao Zilong" produced by Zhejiang Yongle Film and Television...
You must know that before this, there was a rift between Japan and South Korea due to the Dokdo incident, the Korean wave shrank from Japan, and South Korea's domestic market was limited and could not satisfy such a large entertainment industry.
So, desperately trying to open up the mainland market...
Hong Kong and Taiwan's film and television productions are becoming increasingly desolate, and the mainland's entertainment system is still immature. The blank market has been opened up by the Korean Wave, and a large number of groups have flocked to carve up this huge cake.
Among them, there are groups such as SJ, F(X), EXO, and actors such as Song Hye Kyo, Choo Ja Hyun, and Lee Min Ho.
The salary of Korean artists in China is basically five times higher than that in South Korea, but the workload is not the same.
In addition, any Korean artist will receive courtesy from major TV stations after coming to China, especially Mango TV. I am so damn speechless. Du Haitao kneels down to worship Quan Zhilong...
Back to the topic, when Shen Xudong arrived at Xiangshan, he was frightened by a group of fans surrounding the Xiangshan Stadium.
"Fortunately, 1,500 riot police were called in advance..."
Hiding in the car, Shen Xudong was still frightened...
The NB city government staff who came to work with Shen Xudong lamented: "Why are these fans of Korean idols so crazy?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, with leisure and money... In a sense, it also means that the country is peaceful. Think about it, if it were during the Republic of China, this would definitely not be the case!"
"I still don't understand..."
Shen Xudong shrugged: "Back then, Tan and Zhang were competing for supremacy. At the Golden Song Awards Ceremony of a certain year, fans from both sides started fighting at the entrance of the venue. Several fans were seriously injured! Leslie Cheung's new car was scratched by a fan of Alan Tam, and he also gave it away He was obsessed with paper money and even threatened to throw acid at him;
The United States is even more powerful. John Hinckley Jr., a fan of Jodie Foster, chose to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in order to attract the attention of his idol... Who can understand this thing? "
"I've heard about Jodie Foster. I heard that the assassin was a psycho!"
"Yes, just think of these fans as mentally retarded people!"
"I heard that you specifically asked not to include your own works in this film festival?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes."
"Why?"
"Afraid of affecting everyone's fair voting..."
"What if your work is eligible to win a grand prize?"
"That has to be excluded, for the sake of fairness!"
The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to bonuses...
The Golden Wutong Award comes with cash prizes—shortlisted candidates will be...
Many people don’t understand that the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao Awards have become so low, so why are there still so many crews signing up?
Because these three are 'authoritative', they are directly linked to many local government awards. For example, Xiangshan has relevant regulations: if a film shot on location is nominated for these three film awards, the crew will be awarded an additional 1 million...
Hengdian also has similar support policies!
The Golden Wutong Award will definitely not reach this level for the time being...
Therefore, the organizer will award bonuses.
Shen Xudong originally wanted to take the responsibility himself, but... Xiangshan Film and Television City decided to solicit sponsorship and directly raised 30 million yuan, plus the 20 million provided by Xiangshan Film and Television City, for a total of 50 million yuan...
All are used to reward shortlisted films and award-winning films!
Damn it, I can only say that Zhejiang is really rich!
