Chapter 642 Something Went Wrong at the Golden Horse Awards

There was once a Golden Horse Award for "Best Feature Film" in front of me, and then it was snatched away by someone named Hao.

Since then, whenever I meet someone named Hao, it will be snatched away.

This has probably become Lu Yu's inner demon.

Things in Jinling are not going well, and it seems that it is also because of Hao Yun.

However, the Lu family's father and son are not the ones who are blocking the review of "The Sound of Wind".

They are indeed thinking about how to retaliate against Hao Yun, but they certainly dare not tamper with Han Sanping and Wang Zhongjun's projects. If they are found out, Lu Yu will not be able to make a comeback.

Although Han Sanping always smiles, everyone in the circle knows that his methods are vicious.

Hao Yun is a persecuted delusion. He feels that there are unruly people who want to harm me every day.

If you don't want to harm me, then bring the benefits.

This year's Golden Horse Awards gave him a lot of benefits. "Whiplash" was nominated for a total of six awards including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Film Music, Best Photography, and Best Editing.

It is second only to the 12 nominations of "If Love" and the 7 nominations of "Father and Son".

Compared with the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in the mainland, the Golden Horse Awards at this time have greater authority and credibility, and compared with the Hong Kong Film Awards, they are more tolerant.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the Golden Horse Awards are still respected so far.

Of course, if he had not been given so many nominations, Hao Yun might not think so.

It is unlikely to win all six awards, but at least it is no problem to win two.

Hao Yun just hopes that he will not be doing wedding clothes for others.

For example, Feng Yuanzheng is likely to win the Best Supporting Actor, Zhao Fei will win the Best Photography, Zhang Yifan will win the Best Editing, and Hao Yun is more likely to win the Best Original Film Music.

If he is lucky, he may also win the Best Director or Best Feature Film.

The key depends on the attitude of the Golden Horse Awards towards mainland films this time.

For this Golden Horse Awards, Hao Yun took five days off.

Gao Qunshu, Lu Yang and Cao Dun will help him shoot some less important shots.

Heidou Media is not just Hao Yun going to the Golden Horse Awards.

Zhou Xun was nominated for Best Actress for "If Love", and "Crazy Stone" was nominated for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

They will all go with them.

We agreed to attend the Golden Horse Awards together, so we all gathered in the capital.

But I didn't expect Wu Laoliu to suddenly call everyone together.

Although Wu Laoliu, the president, can't be compared with Wang Zhonglei.

He doesn't have too many resources, and he manages more of the company's business affairs.

But he is the president of the company after all. If he invites everyone to have tea together, everyone will definitely give him face.

"Everyone is here, we found out." Wu Laoliu was wearing a jacket with a striped shirt inside, which made Hao Yun frown.

"What did you find out?" Hao Yun's eyes stayed on Wu Laoliu's striped shirt.

I don't know why Wu Xiwen has been wearing this kind of stripes since the beginning of this year, which looks very hot.

He didn't do this before.

Is he implying something?

Damn, let's fight to the death, it's either you or me!

"It was just that the Film Bureau said this morning that they would not organize a group to go to the Golden Horse Awards this year."

For several consecutive years, the Film Bureau had made unified arrangements and was doing it as a job. Although Hao Yun was not sure when he would come back, he went with everyone when he went.

This year, it was suddenly not organized, so Hao Yun complained to Wu Laoliu.

I didn't expect Wu Laoliu to be so concerned.

I also went to find out what the reason was and whether there was any inside story.

After all, things related to Taiwan are still sensitive.

Is there really any inside story?

"I contacted Deputy Director Zhang of the Film Bureau, who said that the main reason for not organizing a group this year was that the Film Bureau was busy and the actors' schedules could not be unified.

He also said that not organizing a group did not mean that there would be no mainland filmmakers participating in the awards ceremony. The crew members of the nominated films could go on their own, and the Film Bureau would not restrict them..."

"This is a bit..." Hao Yun tasted something wrong as soon as he tasted it.

The Film Bureau is busy?

What the hell, I'm so idle that my balls are wasted.

And it's not something that requires many people, an administrative staff member can coordinate it.

"The Golden Horse Awards suddenly changed its name..." Wu Laoliu didn't beat around the bush.

"Changed to the Golden Donkey Awards?" Ning Hao laughed strangely.

Shi Xiaoqiang opened his mouth, but didn't use his venomous tongue on Ning Hao.

Shi Xiaoqiang's venomous tongue is usually only directed at leaders. If Hao Yun asked this question, he would definitely stab him.

"It's not that the Golden Horse Awards changed its name, but two awards changed their names. One is the Best Taiwan Film Award of the Year, and the other is the Best Taiwan Film Worker of the Year. The names are changed to Formosa Film Award and Formosa Special Award."

"Fuck~" Hao Yun cursed.

Ning Hao's face was not good either, and the cup in his hand was placed heavily on the table.

Only Zhou Xun looked confused, and so was An Xiaoxi.

So Hao Yun explained to them, and also told them what the Film Bureau meant by seemingly not restricting everyone from participating, but not organizing a party.

"What should we do now?" Ning Hao looked at Wu Laoliu.

Wu Laoliu is the president. Although Hao Yun is the boss, the management depends on Wu Laoliu's opinion.

"The company doesn't restrict everyone from participating, but..." Wu Laoliu didn't say anything.

It's impossible to restrict everyone from doing anything.

Black Bean Media is loosely managed, and everyone is more like an alliance in the entertainment industry.

"I... I won't go. It's because of this. What about you, Hao Yun?" Ning Hao wanted to see what the boss meant.

Hao Yun's heart was broken.

Damn it, if he doesn't go this time, he will at least lose a treasure chest.

It is very likely that he will lose a treasure chest such as the best director or best feature film.

However, he was just heartbroken, and he didn't hesitate to go or not.

"I won't go either. I'll call them."

Hao Yun was talking about Zhao Fei, Zhang Yifan, Feng Yuanzheng and others. The call was not to tell them not to go, but to tell them about the situation.

Let them choose whether to go or not.

Everyone worked hard to finish this job, and you told them that because of this problem with the Golden Horse Awards, they'd better not go now.

That's called moral kidnapping.

After all, the Golden Horse Awards do have some problems, but it hasn't risen to the point where they need to refuse to attend.

The word Formosa is just emotional in some aspects.

The two awards starting with Formosa are only given to Taiwanese people and Taiwanese films, and they don’t really have much to do with everyone.

The Film Bureau didn’t say anything.

Otherwise, they would have made a clear statement long ago.

“I’ll call too.” Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If the boss insisted on attending, his absence would be impolite.

“So that’s how it is.” Zhou Xun came back to her senses stupidly. She was semi-illiterate.

Of course, semi-illiterate is a bit too much.

Most people don’t understand, and they may even think Formosa is a celebrity.

The three major European film festivals all have similar awards.

An Xiaoxi didn’t understand either, but she didn’t say anything after listening.

Because she didn’t get a single nomination, and she didn’t even have an arrangement to perform on stage.

If Hao Yun didn’t go, she had no reason to go.

She was originally going to attend with her old classmates.

So, she didn’t need to express her opinion at all.

When Hao Yun was thinking about who to call first, his own phone rang.

He looked at the incoming call notification and found that it was Feng Yuanzheng.

Oh yes, the Film Bureau said today that they would not form a group, so Feng Yuanzheng, who is in the People's Art Theater, must know more details than them.

After answering the phone, Feng Yuanzheng said that he had something to do and could not attend, and might miss the Golden Horse Awards.

He is considered a person in the system, so it is naturally impossible for him to go.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you have something to do, just go and deal with it first." Hao Yun did not say that he also knew the inside story, just to see whether Lao Feng would tell him or not.

There was a slight pause on the other side, and still reminded that the award was temporarily renamed, which happened in the morning, and pointed out the problem of the word Formosa.

Feng Yuanzheng suggested that Hao Yun should not attend this time.

He started to struggle from noon, and struggled until the afternoon. After struggling for several hours, he finally chose to be honest.

Of course, he also knew that if Hao Yun did not go, he might miss the grand prize.

It is much more valuable than his Best Supporting Actor.

He really doesn't need a Best Supporting Actor, after all, he has both the Berlin Film Emperor and the Oscar Best Supporting Actor.

But if Hao Yun could win the Golden Horse Best Director Award, he would definitely be a great Chinese director.

At most, he just didn't make enough films.

So, he didn't want to blackmail Hao Yun morally. His struggle was just like Hao Yun's hesitation about who to call first and how to say it.

If Zhang Yifan could win the Golden Horse Best Editing Award, why wouldn't you let him go?

But Feng Yuanzheng finally persuaded Hao Yun not to go.

This was his Zheng Zhimin sensitivity as a member of the People's Art Theater. He also felt that there was a long way to go. The Golden Horse Best Director Award was not a difficult task for Hao Yun, and even the Best Director Award of the three major European awards was not a problem.

If he couldn't get it this time, he could get it next time.

Hao Yong talked to Feng Yuanzheng for a few words in a tone of sudden enlightenment, as if he had just heard about it for the first time, and thanked him for his reminder. He talked for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone.

Other people in the office looked at him as if he was a hypocrite.

Damn, the boss is really hypocritical.

Hao Yun smiled embarrassedly and should go to his office to make this call.

"Huh, I won't go either!"

If Zhou Xun hadn't been reminded by Wu Laoliu this time, she might not have understood this at all and would have gone anyway.

If she went, she might have won Best Actress.

And there was a high probability that she would have won Best Actress at both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards.

But knowing and not knowing are two different things, and if no one in the company was going, it would have been too unsociable for her to go.

Anyway... Best Actress isn't a rare thing.

She really doesn't need this thing.

Hao Yun also called several other people to say that the group trip was cancelled, and if anyone wanted to go, they could go on their own.

As a result, Zhao Fei and Zhang Yifan both said they wouldn't go.

They were all quite straightforward. No one from Hao Yun's Whiplash was going.

Ning Hao also finished the call. In fact, Crazy Stone was nominated for many awards, and most of them were newcomers, so it was quite difficult to make this decision.

No one on his side was going either.

"Xiao Qiang, go on a trip." Wu Laoliu breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's incident could even be said to be a small crisis.

If some people go and some don't, there will inevitably be a gap in everyone's heart.

"I understand, if someone really wins the award, I will take it back." Shi Xiaoqiang knew he couldn't hide.

Filmmakers can choose not to go, but film companies must have someone present.

"Everyone, think about the reasons for your refusal, and then call them separately..." Hao Yun thought for a moment and said, "When I was filming "Bullfighting", I had never fought a bull, but my foot was stepped on by a bull's hoof."

"Ah!" An Xiaoxi looked at Hao Yun's leg, and then said, "Do you want me to help break it for you?"

"You can tell them that my leg is broken and you are taking care of me."
