Chapter 957 Academy Awards (23)
"When the Sun Shines" is a very sad movie!
The title may sound sunny, but in fact the film tells the story of a family tragedy.
The younger son Ahe and the eldest son Ahao are brothers with completely opposite personalities.
Ah He is neither learned nor skilled. After entering middle school, he became more and more rebellious and became a "young and Dangerous boy" at a young age.
In order to take revenge on the gangster who offended him, Ah He called his best friend Yaoyang for help.
Originally, he just wanted to teach the gangster a small lesson, but he didn't expect Yaoyang to be more ruthless than him. He cut off the gangster's hand with one strike.
Both of them went to juvenile detention center...
The person was imprisoned, and Ah He was not done with the trouble he had caused to the family.
Before the parents could recover from the shock, a little girl suddenly came to the house.
She claimed to be A He's girlfriend and she was pregnant. The parents brought the little girl over and clamored to hold A He responsible.
The younger son has a lot to worry about, but fortunately there is an upbeat eldest son Ahao in the family...
The eldest son Ahao has been sensible and handsome since he was a child. The key is that his homework is good, so he is the legendary "other people's child".
Ah Hao in the movie is gentle and reliable, always considerate of others, and his future seems bright.
But one day after getting up early as usual, he jumped from the balcony without warning.
The rebellious younger son was sent to a juvenile detention center, the outstanding eldest son committed suicide by jumping off a building, and an ordinary family of four fell apart in an instant.
The younger son Ah He wanted to change his ways after being released from the juvenile detention center, but was troubled by his former best friend Yaoyang.
After Yaoyang was arrested and imprisoned, the only family member left in the family was his grandmother, who could not afford compensation at all. Therefore, the victim's family approached Ahe's father, hoping that he could bear some compensation.
However, Ahe's father coldly refused and said that the liability for compensation should be borne by Yaoyang and should be borne by his family, and he would not pay a penny.
This move directly led to Yaoyang's home being forcibly sealed for compensation. After he was released from prison, he discovered that his grandmother had been sent to a nursing home.
These reasons make Yaoyang hold a grudge against Ah He.
In order to retaliate against A He, Yaoyang repeatedly went to the place where A He worked to cause trouble, and asked A He to help him do illegal things to "atone" for his sins.
But a few days later, Yaoyang disappeared mysteriously.
Yes, the father played by Simon Yam killed him!
The emotional outburst of the movie focuses on the heart-to-heart talk between Hui Yinghong and Simon Yam on the top of the mountain after paying homage to Ah Hao.
"I want to do something to help the children, but I don't know what to do!"
In the end, the movie did not explain the ending of the family...
Of course, the mainland version will definitely reshoot a story about surrendering...
Shi Nansheng liked this movie very much, including Johnnie To, who publicly praised it, "It's so powerful that I couldn't get enough of it for a week!" ’
Oh, the director is Weng Tse-kwong, starring Simon Yam, Wai Ying-hong, Lee Chi-ting and Chan Ka-lok, the latter is an actor recommended by the Emperor.
Starting from "Thieves of Time" in 2008, Golden Harvest has almost dominated the important awards at the Academy Awards.
Except for "Father and Son", the best films in recent years are basically produced by Golden Harvest or jointly produced by Golden Harvest.
It’s not like other companies have resisted...
It’s useless. There are 13 Hong Kong Film Awards associations, and 80% of them have to rely on Jiahe to support them...
Hong Kong filmmakers are very pragmatic: I will support whoever gives me a way to survive.
Yes, many people are dissatisfied, so what?
The minority obeys the majority!
What are you resisting?
Oh, To Wenze and Peng Haoxiang tried to cooperate with Bona before and made a "Vulgar Comedy", which was not released in the mainland. Several subsequent films were also sniped by Tianmei...
Very miserable!
But no one sympathized with him...
If he is not here, there will be no less cake, just let someone else eat it!
…
"I originally wanted to use "Sunshine" to compete with "The Grandmaster"... How does "The Grandmaster" count for the next Academy Awards?"
"The one he signed up for is the next one!"
Shi Nansheng explained, and then asked: "I feel like you don't pay much attention to awards?"
"No... I'm still very happy to win the award."
Shi Nansheng shook his head: "I mean the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards... If your "The Grandmaster" is willing to do public relations, it still has a good chance of winning the best picture!"
Huang Baiming also interjected: "After all, it is the Venice Golden Lion Award..."
"The Grandmaster" lost to "Sister Tao". The latter won the Academy Award for Best Picture, but the Best Director went to Shen Xudong...
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Since it's called the Hong Kong Film Awards, not the Chinese Film Awards, it's understandable that it prefers local Hong Kong films..."
"...Do you have any ideas about turning this into a Chinese Film Awards?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously...
The Golden Rooster Award has been completely abolished!
The shortlist for the best film of the 28th Golden Rooster Award: "Flying", "Qingming Festival", "Gangqin", "Tangshan Earthquake", "Love in the Covered Bridge", and then the best film went to "Flying"...
Douban score is 3.6 points - the plot is the story of a hard-working man who has always wanted to fly but was rejected. He is disappointed again and again, and his mother, wife and children are depressed. Then after turning fifty, the new astronaut becomes a man after flying. , the spacecraft was hit by space junk, and the handsome man finally showed his skills, boarding the ship for first aid! Finally flying!
Then, I didn’t even see my mother for the last time before she died...
Just for Nima’s so-called dream?
Forget it, he also arranged for his daughter to ask him, ‘What kept you going for so long? ’
(Original lines from the movie)…
In fact, this story fits Mr. Deng Qingming very well. Mr. Deng was born in 1966 and was selected as one of China’s first batch of astronauts in January 1998. It was not until 2022 that he, 56 years old, successfully flew into space on the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft. !
A work is a work, and reality is reality. "Flying" really failed to live up to the real astronauts!
Literary and artistic works were originally intended to spread the word about our country's respectable and lovely heroes, but this work had the opposite effect - except for sacrificing one's family for the country and being unswervingly determined, there was nothing to win the respect of foreigners. It was purely Eight-legged essay!
This is it, and you won the Golden Rooster Award. Where are you going to reason?
The Golden Horse Award... has too much political influence, even Shen Xudong can't stand it...
Academy Awards reform…
After a long while, Shen Xudong said: "Isn't it difficult?"
"It's definitely not easy," Huang Baiming interjected: "The purpose of the Academy Awards is to encourage filmmakers who have contributed to Hong Kong films. Its policy is to protect Hong Kong films..."
Shi Nansheng has a different opinion: "Liu Xiaoqing was nominated for the Best Actress at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards for "The Man behind the Curtain", and Siqin Gaowa won the Best Actress at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards for her literary film "Back to Time". Best Actress…”
Oh, Shi Nansheng had a good relationship with many critics of "Film Fortnightly" in the early years, and often expressed his opinions in "Film Fortnightly"!
In the early days, the Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony was founded by Film Fortnight.
Therefore, Shi Nansheng knows the Academy Awards very well!
However, Huang Baiming knows the inside story better than she does - Hong Kong filmmakers are proud at heart. They disdain mainland actors and even mainland audiences...
But the reality is that mainland films have advanced by leaps and bounds, while Hong Kong films have remained stagnant...
Therefore, they pay more attention to the last bastion of the Academy Awards!
Shen Xudong thought for a while: "How about I join forces with several companies and labor unions to create a new award?"
"Make another one?"
"Then...what about the Academy Awards?"
"What should I do if I love..."
