- The rows of the square are in sharp contrast, with the death and gloominess of Xinyi City. () Everyone in the factory was beaming with joy, and the two companies were on opposite sides, so it felt like they were two. Extremely average.
The people at Debao Company also looked bad. They regarded this defeat as a shame. They did not expect that they would still be defeated by DreamWorks despite having three ranking advantages. At this time, they also reminded everyone that the Academy Awards have become more and more formalized. Personal factors have been removed, and the final result has also abandoned artificial changes. Therefore, the Hong Kong Film Awards have been even more praised by everyone. They have firmly become the most important film awards in Hong Kong, and with the footprint of Hong Kong films . Supported by foreign movie fans. The awards ceremony has also reached the final grand prize, and it is also the moment when the award that everyone is most concerned about, the Best Film Award, is announced. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s the filmmaker or the audience. Everyone became nervous. Because a lot of outstanding works suddenly appeared in Hong Kong movies last year, and there were also many films that left a deep impression on everyone, so I am naturally looking forward to this award.
The nominated films for this award include: DreamWorks' "Dragon and Tiger", Depot's "Woman's Heart", "Mr. Zombie" and "Illegal Immigration", and Golden Harvest's "Dragon's Heart".
These five films were the most popular films last year and have a very good reputation among movie fans. Although there is another film that is not on the list, it is also the most popular among movie fans, and that is "God of Gamblers" starring Zhou Run. It set off the rise of a genre film, and now Hong Kong is flooded with gambling films. But none of them could pass this film, and of course Stephen Chow's nonsensical "The Gambler".
When the nomination of DreamWorks was announced, Mak Cheng-hsiung had no idea of ??going on stage. Instead, he asked Lin Lingdong to go on stage. After all, he didn¡¯t have much credit for this film, and he couldn¡¯t represent it. For the film, the best thing is to let the director of this film, Lin Lingdong, come on stage in person. The best result is to be able to kill this "two-headed monster".
"Two-headed monster" is the image name of the statuette. Because before 2000, the Academy Awards always used a running figure as the main body of the trophy, and it had two heads one behind the other, so everyone called it the image of the statuette. ¡°The two-headed monster. "But more people are influenced by the Hollywood Oscars and become statuettes.
Hong Jinbao also came on stage again. The disappointment caused by the defeat just now has been eliminated again, because the four nominations this time are all related to him, so if nothing unexpected happens this time, he will be able to earn steadily. of this trophy.
But now everyone is not so optimistic about Hong Jinbao. Because of the habit of the Academy Awards, generally the film that wins the Best Director Award will most likely win the Best Picture Award. Only in rare cases will it miss out. , so this competition is also the most exciting one tonight.
What makes everyone anxious is that the host has not revealed the final answer for a long time, as if he is cherishing the last time.
The award-giving guest also belatedly opened the envelope. Smiling at the youngest director Lin Lingdong, everyone's hearts froze this time, and then the answer hit everyone hard again. The winning film of the fifth Best Picture Award was DreamWorks' "Dragon Tiger".
DreamWorks has undoubtedly become the one with the last laugh. This time they have won three major awards, which is the largest film to be won by the same film. This shows the excellence of this film. ()
By broadcast, this. At that time, Hong Kong movie fans also knew the result. Although they would not be able to see the TV broadcast until tomorrow, they were already very satisfied and had no complaints about this Academy Awards. Although "Dragon Tiger" was better than "Hero" "True Colors" came out a year later. However, the results are no worse than "A Better Tomorrow". The two films completely brought about a hero movie craze in Hong Kong.
And this film was just released in Huamei Cinemas. Smith was not very optimistic about this film based on its name, but at this time it has a good box office. Hong Kong hero films are also very popular in the Hollywood film market, and movie fans are already I like Hong Kong-style hero movies more and more, because they not only bring surprises to everyone, but also make them think.
The Hong Kong Film Awards have come to an end, but everyone¡¯s excitement has not calmed down yet. As the Hong Kong Film Awards become more and more authoritative, the quality of Hong Kong films has also improved, especially films of various types that are emerging one after another. The Hong Kong film industry There was a scene of a hundred flowers blooming, and movie fans cheered even more. Hong Kong movies also occupy an increasingly important position in the hearts of Hong Kong people.
At the same time, the proportion of Hong Kong films in Southeast Asian countries last year also became the highest in the past five years. The box office of several films has entered the top ten of the total box office of each country. This is very exciting news. At the same time, This year Hong Kong films also completely suppressed Taiwanese films. Since then, Taiwanese cinema has completely fallen into decline and entered a period of depression and malaise.
? ?Although the US and Japanese authorities have strongly appealed. However, the proportion of Hong Kong movies in their country is also growing, and they are also among the best at the box office. Their popularity is far greater than that of local and Hollywood movies. In particular, several Hollywood blockbusters by Mak Sing-hsiung are even more popular in various countries. . Especially when "Resident Evil" was released in Japan and South Korea, it immediately caused a stir. Many movie fans are proud to see that Asian movies can actually produce such effects. Although this film was produced in Hollywood, the screenwriters are all "Shengxiong", so they regarded it as "Shengxiong Mak" without any doubt. The voice of guessing is even more very high.
Especially after "Resident Evil" has been welcomed by everyone, everyone still has a small doubt about this Academy Awards, that is, the film "Resident Evil" did not appear in this Academy Awards. , and Yang Ziqiong's performance is also very outstanding. She can definitely compete for the Best Actress Award with her performance in the film.
The doubts of movie fans are naturally what journalists are most concerned about. Soon there was news that shocked all Hong Kong film fans, because the scholarship board formed by multiple filmmaker groups had just announced. "Resident Evil" was not considered by the Hong Kong Film Awards. They regarded the film entirely as a Hollywood movie. And this film is also very suitable for the evaluation standards of Hollywood movies.
All fans are opposed to releasing their own films. At this time, many biochemical fans disagree, because the producer and screenwriter of this film are Hong Kong's gold medal screenwriter Mak Sing-hung, and the production company It is also a branch of DreamWorks, so how can it not be considered Hong Kong?
?
Immediately, some people questioned the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Film Awards and were very dissatisfied with their attitude. Even biochemical fans from Japan and China were quite dissatisfied with the statement of the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and I think that what they did has harmed Mak Cheng-hsiung's interests and will affect his creative spirit. () If it cannot be recognized, no one will dare to shoot their own films in other places.
Immediately, the fan group and the Board of Directors of the Academy of Film and Television began an endless war of words, and Hong Kong film companies were also very concerned about this result, because the success of DreamWorks has given them the idea of ????shooting in Hollywood. But this is also where they are concerned.
Amidst the condemnation from movie fans and the questioning from the film company, although the person involved, Mak Sung-hsiung, did not come forward, it also had a huge impact on the Academy Awards board of directors. They immediately summoned representatives from several associations below and began to discuss how to specify the qualifications for the competition in detail. After all, they had not considered this matter before, and no other company except DreamWorks had such a problem.
Representatives from the Film Critics Association, Directors Guild, Screenwriters Guild and Performers Guild all participated in this seminar on formulating the qualifications. The meeting lasted for three days, and finally a series of standards were formulated.
Any Hong Kong films shown in Note 1 for public screening in Hong Kong are automatically eligible for selection. But all of the following conditions must be met:
1. Released between January 1st and December 31st of this year;
2. It must be on public ticket sales and screened no less than five times in one week;
?Three videos must be sixty minutes or more in length;
4. Screened on 35mm film or digitally;
Note 1: A film must meet two of the following conditions to qualify as a Hong Kong film:
, The director must be a Hong Kong resident holding a Hong Kong permanent identity card;
2. The production company must have a company legally registered in Hong Kong;
3. The film has at least six working staff members who are Hong Kong residents. Calculated based on sixteen awards: Producer, Screenwriter, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, New Actor, Photography, Action Design, Art Direction, Costume Styling, Editing, Original Film Music, Original Film Song, Sound Effects and visual effects.
Only one Hong Kong staff member is counted for each work project; if there is more than one composer, lyricist, and lead singer of the original film song, it will be a Hong Kong staff member. Only one of them will be counted.
In this way, the definition of Lian Xin's Hong Kong movies has also been settled. It must meet two of the three items before it can be called a Hong Kong movie. Especially in the first two days, the director must hold a Hong Kong permanent identity card for the script. The production company must have a legal company in Hong Kong, which greatly limits the scope of Hong Kong movies.
In this way, other companies are also very satisfied with the result. In this way, after cooperating with film companies from other countries, they can also be recognized by the Academy Awards Board of Directors. This is also an important decision for Hong Kong films. What this brings to the film company??Just having joy also brings about very big worries, because in this way, the scope of Hong Kong movies will be broadened. Many Western movies will meet the requirements of Hong Kong movies, and it will also give Western movies the opportunity to enter Hong Kong movies. The market has brought an opportunity, and the one who benefited the most this time is DreamWorks, which has branches abroad. In this way, it is very easy to achieve two of the three conditions.
Xinyi City heard this. After the news, everyone's expressions were very shocked. In this way, many Western films will be transformed into Hong Kong films that everyone recognizes.
"Is this obviously protecting DreamWorks? This guy Mak Seng-hsiung is prospering in Hollywood. As long as he is willing, any film can meet this standard. Look at the Western films with the highest box office in Hong Kong in the past two years. He appears in almost all of the films." Shi Tian said very dissatisfied after seeing the news.
We all work in the movies and are very familiar with several Western films, and we also know the advantages of these films. However, movie fans are cheating on Western films so their box office has been a dream for two years, and the relationship between the studios." Heartbroken, this Western movie has reared its head. Now that there are such regulations, the day when Western movies will enter Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia is getting closer and closer. The five people all look worried.
Although it has brought great worries to everyone, it is also an opportunity. Jiahe Company has already seen a very good opportunity. Gao Wenhuai thought about developing his career in Hollywood in his early days. But it didn't succeed. Now Mak Cheng-hsiung has guided him on a path to success, and they have recently begun to formulate a route to Hollywood. As soon as this regulation came out, they all felt that this was a very good opportunity. At this time, He Guanchang smiled and said to Bu Wenhuai: "This regulation comes very timely. It solves a very big problem for us. The route we have formulated this year is to cooperate with Hollywood companies. This will completely We don¡¯t have to worry about the resentment of local movie fans, and since we have maintained a very good relationship with Warner, our development path will be broader.¡±
Bu Wenhuai's eyes also lit up. One of Jiahe's latest development routes is to cooperate with a Hollywood film company. If there is an opportunity, they will also acquire a Hollywood film company and set up their own branch. In this way, You can imitate DreamWorks and spy on your chances of success.
The company ahead of Jiahe is Debao Company. Although Debao Company experienced last year's crisis, it has now changed, so they have contacted a small stunt company in Hollywood about the acquisition. If everything goes well, they will have At a special effects company, although Hong Jinbao was very hostile to Mak Sing-hung, he admired Mak Sing-hung's courage very much. He also saw the role of film stunts from Mak Sing-hung's successful films, and also guessed that with the development of the film industry, stunt technology will It will definitely become a very important shooting method.
But then a problem came up. Debao Company did not want to be as wealthy as DreamWorks. Their funds are very tight, and the acquisition of a stunt company also brings them great difficulties.
There are many people who are very opposed to Hong Jinbao's acquisition, and many conservative actors have also suggested that it is unrealistic to do so.
But Hong Jinbao still stood up and said to these people in a meeting: "Don't you see the development trend of the film market?"
One sentence silenced those who objected. Even if they continue to object, the success of DreamWorks is still there. One of DreamWorks' films has already surpassed the total box office of Debao Company. This is Undisputed fact.
Hong Jinbao continued with a calm face: "Everyone has seen Mak Sung-hung's recent success. Although their scripts are better, without stunts as a stepping stone, it will be difficult for their films to enter the international market and they will not be able to get such high-profile awards." With so much box office, DreamWorks has come a long way. If we don¡¯t catch up now, we will only fall further and further behind them. At that time, we will have no chance to catch up with them, so our company¡¯s next step is to The key goal is to focus on the creation of scripts and the research of special effects technology.¡±
Ah Yao is also someone who knows a lot about stunts. At this time, he frowned and said: "However, the problem of funding is our shortcoming. In Hollywood, a special effects company is basically a money-burning tool. It can't be filled with any amount of money. You have to think carefully, third brother. .¡±
Hong Jinbao's face twitched a few times, and he sighed: "Of course I know this, but I will naturally solve the funding issue. We have also discussed it before. Since it is very difficult to develop a stunt company in Hollywood, we will You can bring this company to Hong Kong for exhibition. The Hong Kong film environment is not much different from Hollywood. I believe you will get good results. And now the Hong Kong film industry has begun to pay attention to stunts.If we have advanced technology, we can recruit talents locally. It will reduce the cost a lot
New director Er Dongsheng strongly agreed with Hong Jinbao's view at this time. He immediately stood up and said: "I think the boss's idea is very good. We are deeply impressed by Mak Chengxiong's several blockbusters. I won't talk about the box office. The quality is not comparable to that of traditional films, and such films only have a market in the international market. Even if our initial investment is higher, the return will definitely exceed our expectations."
One of the most senior directors looked down on this newcomer. At this time, he said nonchalantly: "Special effects technology? I remember that Jiahe Company was the first to try it. Didn't they film "Shu Mountain" and "Interstellar Blunt"? There were a few other films, but what was the result? They all lost money. Who says that special effects technology will definitely make money?"
Immediately, the voice of opposition sounded again. Er Dongsheng was not qualified to compare with those old people, but he still insisted on his idea and said: "Mai Chengxiong's approach has told us that it failed before. It was because their application method was incorrect. The quality of the film is also unsatisfactory. If a film of the quality of "Resident Evil" can be made, if it cannot be a hit, I will leave immediately.
The atmosphere in the conference room immediately became awkward. Er Dongsheng blushed with excitement, and the other die-hards couldn't come up with any examples to refute. - Didn't finish reading?
