At the 39th Golden Horse Awards, no other movie had such a big appeal as "Infernal Affairs" and won so many awards. As soon as the nominations were announced, the media clamored that this year's Golden Horse Awards belonged to the year of "Infernal Affairs." Even the judges of the Golden Horse Awards said in interviews with reporters after the nominations were announced that many judges were amazed by the profound themes and torture of human nature in "Infernal Affairs". This made the media announce in advance that the victory of "Infernal Affairs" is already a certainty. "What did the judges of the Golden Horse Awards do? They flattered me by filming "Infernal Affairs"?" Wan Xiaohu was busy preparing for animations during this period. He occasionally went to several film crews to assume the responsibility of the producer. I rarely watch the news. This day, I had just returned from the set of "Savage Sister", secretly meeting Jun Ji-hyun and drinking with Mak Siu-fai, when I saw the news. Mak Siu-fai has been busy filming "Infernal Affairs 2" recently and is under a lot of pressure. After all, the first part was so successful. He often calls and harasses Wan Xiaohu for advice. If it weren't for Mak Siu-fai making too many calls, Wan Xiaohu would have basically delegated power to several directors, and he would only be acting in the name of producer. "It's good to flatter us. At least it gives us a clear signal. This time "Infernal Affairs" is guaranteed to win the award." Mak Siu-fai said with a smile, "You may not have paid much attention to it. Didn't something happen a few days ago? "What happened?" "Taiwan Jiguang Film invested in a film called "Blue Door", which performed well at the Cannes Film Festival, but it was announced that I would not participate in the Golden Horse Awards because of the unfair selection. I don't know what happened, but it seems that "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" was framed, and then the distribution company in Taiwan quit, accusing the Golden Horse Awards of being shady. " "Xiao Shuai's "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" was framed. Framed, why didn¡¯t I know?" Wan Xiaohu was confused. "I also heard from a Taiwanese friend a few days ago that he seemed to be a director on a jury of the Golden Horse Awards. Because he applied for a tutoring grant and conducted illegal operations, Jiguang's Xu Xiaoming criticized the director a few times, and as a result, the director attracted a group of people. The criticism committee gave "Bicycle at Seventeen" a score of 0. "No, didn't Bicycle at Seventeen win the Silver Bear in Berlin, and they had the nerve to brush it off?" So. Xu Xiaoming was angry, saying that the boredom of one or two people can manipulate a film festival to erase one person's efforts in film, so what credibility does this award have? If you slap the other cheek, the Golden Horse Awards will only bring wrong indicators and disrupt the normal film work. We will not let "Blue Door" be insulted by the Golden Horse Awards anyway. " "Then what?" "Then Jiao Xiongping also criticized the Golden Horse Awards, saying that we gave the Golden Horse Awards respect, but they don't want it. The Golden Horse Awards have played a respected role in Taiwanese films, but now it is dead. The movie has also reached a dead end. The Golden Horse Awards probably wanted to divert attention, so they made a fuss about "Infernal Affairs." I have high hopes for the Golden Horse Award this time. This is too bad. No, I have to call Xiaoshuai and ask him what's going on. " Wang Xiaoshuai and Wan Xiaohu are not close friends, but they are both directors from Nortel. They are also called sixth-generation directors, and they have a good relationship in private. When he called, Wan Xiaohu directly asked what happened to "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle". "Xiao Shuai, what's going on? The Golden Horse Award was rejected. Why haven't I seen you say anything?" "Hi. I don't even mention that nonsense. You can do it. I'll watch your "Infernal Affairs" this year. " "What you said, brothers have to support you, you have to give me an opinion. I will ask them to withdraw "Infernal Affairs" now and not participate. What the hell, this is not how things are done. It is too obvious to bully. "Don't, don't let me make you unable to win the award. No matter how wronged I am, Berlin will bring back a bear. The movies you made in the past few years have done well at the box office, but you haven't won any awards. It's rare to win one this time." Come back, cherish it, otherwise we will all despise you if you are called the sixth generation flag-bearer in the future. " "Go, go, I don't want to be called the sixth generation with you, I am more than ten years younger than you!" " Hang up the phone! , Although Wan Xiaohu was a little unhappy that the Golden Horse Awards were such a trivial matter, Wang Xiaoshuai himself didn't mind, and Wan Xiaohu had no reason to quit. After all, it is one of the highest awards for Chinese-language films, and Wan Xiaohu has longed for it. Even if he himself is not eager, Andy Lau is extremely eager. He has not yet won the Golden Horse Best Actor. Shaking his head to wave away these bad things, Wan Xiaohu continued to drink with Mai Zhaohui. ¡° However, Wan Xiaohu obviously underestimated the bottom line of this Golden Horse Awards¡¯ lack of moral integrity. The gold medal event was originally supposed to be held in Taipei in DecemberThe award was informed that it will be held in Kaohsiung in advance to November 16th. At the same time, in the promotional video of the Golden Horse Awards, Kaohsiung City Mayor Hsieh Chang-ting appeared in the background. At the same time, the Kaohsiung City Government also asked the mayor to deliver a speech at the awards ceremony. It is also planned to invite the "President" **, "Executive President" You Xi, and "Information Director" Ye Guoxing of the same party as Hsieh Chang-ting to attend the Golden Horse Awards in person, with the intention of publicizing the Golden Horse Awards and canvassing votes for this year's Kaohsiung mayoral election. Once this matter leaked out internally, it immediately caused a stir. "Everyone knows that there is a deep estrangement between the mainland and Taiwan, especially when the Taiwanese faction is in power and openly advocates Taiwan independence. The Golden Horse Awards, which aim to promote Chinese-language films regardless of region, have implemented the Three No's Principles since 1999, that is, politicians are welcome to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, but "no going on stage, no speeches, no awards." This is Only then did mainland filmmakers begin to attend the Golden Horse Awards. Last year, Liu Ye and Qin Hailu won the Best Actor and Best Actress respectively. But after only three terms, this rule was broken. "This is so funny. You want to invite **, but you also want us to participate?" Wan Xiaohu's first reaction was this when he received the notice from the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee. At that time, I told the people at the Golden Horse Awards: "If ** goes, I won't go." The Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee quickly promised: "We will communicate with the government and reject these unruly arrangements. Please be sure to ask Director Wan to Participate." Wan Xiaohu was speechless as he saw off the Golden Horse Award. What are you doing? If you want to stand on the same stage as the Taiwan independence elements, isn¡¯t this questioning your own IQ! "I hope the Golden Horse Awards can reject politics, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to win the trophy in person this time." In his heart, Wan Xiaohu still cares about winning the award. He does not lack box office results, but what he lacks is awards to prove himself and prove that he is not a vulgar director. While waiting for the Golden Horse Award, Wan Xiaohu stayed in Hong Kong to supervise the production of "Savage Sister" and "Infernal Affairs 2". Soon, the Golden Horse Award organizing committee sent people over, and the chairman of the executive committee, Wang Xiaoxiang, flew to Hong Kong in person to meet with Wan Xiaohu met once. ¡°Director Wan, I¡¯m really sorry, it¡¯s hard to say whether the Golden Horse Awards can be held this year.¡± As a senior film worker, Wang Xiaoxiang complained as soon as they met. "Chairman Wang, what do you say?" "It's embarrassing to say that, we have bones and refuse politics, but the authorities want to cut off the Golden Horse Award, so I have no choice." At that moment, Wang Xiaoxiang explained the situation. It turns out that A-Bian and others wanted to attend the Golden Horse Awards and relive the glory and chaos of Masao Iwasato's "grand arrival" in 1995 under the shining stars. Wang Xiaoxiang immediately pulled out the "Sword of Shang Fang" document - "Interpretation of the tradition of political figures not appearing on stage to deliver speeches or award awards at the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony". And he said confidently: "If officials are present, how can mainland actors come? Do the audience want to watch ** or Zhao Wei and Wan Xiaohu? How can China Entertainment TV, which has bought the broadcast rights, broadcast live to the mainland? If I really want to support Taiwanese films, just do my job and don¡¯t rush to show off!¡± This suddenly kicked A Bian out, who had already stepped through the door. ¡°Information Director¡± Ye Guoxing was in high spirits that day. He said: "I have no objection to the so-called 'three no's policy' of the Golden Horse Awards Executive Committee. If they care so much and don't want to have anything to do with the authorities, I can give them the 'two no's'. If they don't attend, they won't receive funding from the authorities." Ten years ago, the Golden Horse Awards was a government-run event, and later it was changed to a private one. However, it still received money from the government to organize it. It was just that the government first allocated the funds to the Film Foundation, and then allocated it to the Golden Horse Awards in the name of the foundation. If the government doesn¡¯t provide money, the Golden Horse Awards cannot be held. Wang Yingxiang, chairman of the Film Foundation in charge of the Golden Horse Awards, responded quickly and said directly: "If you want to cut it, cut it. With the current meager output of Taiwanese films, the Golden Horse Awards can be suspended. It will only be a loss for Taiwan, because the Golden Horse Awards award The ceremony was broadcast on television in 48 regions, which is a good publicity opportunity. "At this point, the Taiwan authorities have not said anything about this matter. They have two opinions: whether to cut it or not. "I understand your difficulties." What else could Wan Xiaohu say? When it comes to politics, there is nothing to do. "Chairman Wang, I will treat you at noon. Let's talk about happy things together. You are an old filmmaker. From now on I also hope you can come to the mainland more often and exchange Chinese movies together.¡± After dinner, Wang Xiaoxiang was sent away. Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t delay and flew back to the capital the next day. This trip to the Golden Horse Awards was in vain. Two days later, the Taiwan authorities compromised. Kaohsiung Mayor Hsieh Chang-ting said: "If the organizer is disrespectful to ***, he will not attend even if he is invited."Although the Golden Horse Awards were retained, the reporters who were looking forward to the red carpet on the 16th were dumbfounded. Award presenters Liu Ye, the last Best Actor, and Qin Hailu, the Best Actress, excused themselves because the crew wouldn't let them go. Zhou Xun said he had to film "The Condor" and didn't have time. Zhao Wei said he wanted to participate in a charity event. Gao Xiaosong, who was in high spirits before, used the excuse that he had some personal matters. , director Tian Zhuangzhuang will also participate in the director exchange meeting. Wan Xiaohu, who is said to be the youngest best director in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, has no reason at all. The red carpet is over and his shadow is nowhere to be found. Amid such gloom, the 39th Golden Horse Awards ceremony began. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
