Chapter 1021 The Ceremony Begins (24)

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong paused: "I didn't mention Taiwanese movies... The reason is very simple. Taiwan's box office revenue remains at a market size of 300 million+ US dollars, and Taiwan's local movies' box office share remains within 10%. , of which Hollywood movies account for 70%, and Japanese and Korean movies account for 20%..."

Tan Shou: "I don't think there is any film industry in this place...even though my favorite Edward Yang is a Taiwanese filmmaker..."

The scene was quiet and silent.

Everyone is looking at Shen Xudong...

Shen Xudong looked at the people sitting in the audience. Well, they were all here, but 80% of the superstar directors in the Chinese entertainment industry were definitely there!

"Okay, let's talk about the current situation..."

"I know many people don't like to talk about data, but I think it's ridiculous to put aside data and talk about development... Last year, the total box office in the mainland was 28.4 billion, of which Chinese films accounted for more than 65%. Among the top ten grossing films of the year, Hollywood films only accounted for He won two seats, namely "Iron Man 3" and "Pacific Rim"... What does this mean?"

"It shows that our audience is willing to support Chinese-language movies!"

"The theater chain reform in the Mainland started in 2001. The first batch of 30 theater lines, 872 theaters, and 1,581 screens. The average price per theater was 1.8 yuan, which was appallingly shabby. By last year, we had 45 theater lines, more than Six thousand theaters with nearly 20,000 screens!”

"This is an amazing market, and what's even more surprising is that this market has just started..."

"From the perspective of the global film market, only the Chinese market can compete with Hollywood and establish a mature full industry chain and full-type film industry... In the future, we can make movies costing more than 100 million US dollars, relying solely on the domestic market. Profit...you let Korean movies try..."

“Only the Chinese-speaking area in the world has such a huge independent market based on the same culture and the same context!”

"But Hollywood is coming fiercely, conquering cities and territories around the world, because we can't make their blockbusters... Some people may ask, what does this have to do with me?"

"We are all Chinese filmmakers. If we don't improve and insist on quality, we will give up the market to others!"

After talking so much in one breath, it was time to wrap up. Shen Xudong paused and then said: "Come on, colleagues!

I’ve seen a lot of media saying, ‘This is the best era for Chinese-language films, and it may also be the worst era…’, but I believe that this is the best era…”

After finishing speaking, the audience fell silent.

A few seconds later, there was a wave of applause.

…

After Shen Xudong finished speaking, he went to the media interview area. It was none of his business to award awards...

"Why do we do the Golden Wutong Award... I think our Chinese-language films lack a weighty and inclusive award..."

"The Academy Awards...from the very beginning have been positioned to be awarded to those who have contributed to Hong Kong films, not to Chinese-language films. You can find out by yourself by looking at the regional qualification policies for the Academy Awards;"

"The Golden Horse Award... is a very amateur award. Filmmakers like Edward Yang have never won the Golden Horse Award... More than half of the films nominated every year are Taiwanese films. Such a film award actually represents Chinese films?"

"So, I want to make a relatively fair film award!"

"You didn't mention the Golden Rooster Award..."

Shen Xudong chuckled and asked, "What do you think?"

"Is the Golden Wutong Award an industry award or an art award?"

"I always insist on one thing: movies are first of all commercial products for the public. In the film industry, business has always been king and box office comes first. Art movies are like cherries on the cake. Although they are beautiful, they can only be embellishments. Art films that are divorced from the masses have become the main development direction of Chinese films at this stage. At most, Chinese films are like the 1990s, when the fifth generation of directors won consecutive awards at international film festivals, while domestic films were completely defeated by Hong Kong commercial films..."

"Today's Chinese-language film market is currently the second largest in the world that Hollywood covets, and it is destined to be the world's largest film market in the future! Then of course we can create an association award similar to the Oscars..."

"Then do you think the best director this year is Wong Kar Wai or Zhang Yimou..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't know..."

He really didn't know that although he participated in the final vote, only a third-party review agency knew the results of the vote.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers in the venue. Well, the best supporting actress was awarded to Hui Yinghong, who won the award for the movie "Sunshine"...

The acceptance speech...very polite and full of thanks...

After all, it’s the first time, so there aren’t any special emotions, it’s just a matter of etiquette.

Followed by a small program, and then the big screen played a clip of "Love". By the way, the award-winning information of "Love" was disclosed: it had won 43 awards of all sizes around the world. By the way, "Love" was introduced: "Love", because of its cold and true expression , full of moral and conscience choices and torture, has received global acclaim...

…

The ceremony continues…

Generally speaking, outsiders don’t pay much attention to the technical awards in film awards.

Things like best costume design, best art design, best soundtrack, best sound effects, etc., so EXO was invited to perform in the middle...

The subsequent Best Supporting Actor award was widely expected - Fan Wei in "Big Buddha" won the award!

Then Best Actress, the absolute first hot spot.

As soon as the award-giving guest appeared, the audience gasped: Zhang Manyu...

"They gave me the award speech, and it was really well written, so I read it accordingly: The great film critic Roger Ebert once said: When a movie's character is successfully created, the audience can truly feel the heart of the character..."

"Actually, I have watched all the films of the five nominees, and they are all outstanding..."

Having said this, she put down the cue card in her hand: "These five nominees are the unanimous opinion of our jury. They are definitely qualified to represent the peak of the acting skills of Chinese film actresses last year!"

The big screen showed the nominations and the competition was fierce.

Zhang Ziyi's "The Grandmaster", Chen Hao's "Dear", Gong Li's "Love", Yan Bingyan's "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" and Ye Lan's "Beautiful Sister"...

Well, they are all mainland actresses...

How can I put it, last year's Hong Kong movies did not produce any female characters worth mentioning...

Not to mention Taiwanese movies!

Golden Horse Award nominees Gui Lunmei, Sammi Cheng, Shu Qi and Yan Zhuoling did not even make it into the preliminary round...

After speaking, Zhang Manyu opened the envelope and said, "Congratulations to Yan Bingyan!"

The whole place was surprised at first, and then applauded...

It seems unpopular, but Yan Bingyan won the Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival for "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", which is actually not an unpopular one.

Yan Bingyan herself was surprised, not pretending...

Take a look at the nominations. Which one is easier to get along with, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, or Chen Hao?

Then Best Actor…

The award guest was Jackie Chan.

The competition for this award is not very fierce, and Daoming Chen is the winner...

Then came the two most important awards, Best Director and Best Picture...

It can basically be seen as Wang Jiawei PK Zhang Yimou!
