    Wan Xiaohu returned to China this time mainly to participate in the Centenary Celebration of Chinese Film and the 14th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. Starting from this year, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival began to reform. In the past, two awards were awarded at one film festival, but this year it began to rotate  system.  The Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award will take turns, that is, the 25th China Film Golden Rooster Award will be held this year, and the 28th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award will be held next year to reduce the duplication and redundancy of the awards.  Because of some conflicts last year, Wan Xiaohu has no interest in the Golden Rooster Awards and declined the invitation to serve as a judge and award guest.  Just come to the film festival to participate in the centenary celebration, as well as the Chinese Film Forum and the International Film Forum.  Then look forward to the principles promised by the organizer.  "There will be no double-yolked eggs in this year's Golden Rooster Award!" Wan Xiaohu doesn't expect the Golden Rooster Award to suddenly become taller, more authoritative and classy. At least it can change the previous shortcomings. This is a good start.  After a meeting and a meal, it¡¯s time for the film festival¡¯s awards ceremony.  This year, Dandelion is mainly working on the Chinese-language new star director project. There is not much investment in domestic films. The Chinese film market has also declined seriously in the past two years. Dandelion¡¯s focus is still on TV programs.  Therefore, Dandelion had no chance of winning the Golden Rooster Award this time. Wan Xiaohu just sat in the audience with a group of veteran directors from Nortel and watched the award ceremony.  It¡¯s a pity that things went against expectations. They promised not to give up the Golden Rooster Award with double yolk eggs, but in the final Best Feature Film, two names were read out, "Kekexili" and "Taihang Mountains".  "Does this mean we promised not to lay eggs with double yolks?" Wan Xiaohu shook his head speechlessly. After the award ceremony, he turned around and left without saying a word.  ¡°The Golden Rooster Awards are over.¡± Wan Xiaohu said in a waning tone while drinking with several sixth-generation directors in a hotel at night.  "Originally, everyone is entertaining themselves behind closed doors and putting gold on their own faces." Zhang Yang also said angrily.  "Isn't it? I've been busy organizing a film festival in Sanya these days to show my new film, but there wasn't even a person in the movie theater. I showed it three times, and never could I see more than half of the audience in the movie theater. It's free.  No money, no one came to see it. I thought my movie was so bad that no one would watch it, but in this domestic new film exhibition, several other movies were worse than mine!" Zhang Yuan said, shaking his head.  Zhang Yang sarcastically said: "Wu Yigong slapped the table this morning, saying that mass participation in Sanya is too poor. I don't want to say whether it is because mass participation is poor or the Golden Rooster Award is unattractive. They lay double-yolked eggs every year. This  It takes a weird old hen to do this. " "There are less than twenty domestic films released in theaters this year. Isn't it nonsense to choose two best feature films? " "  Cursing, Wan Xiaohu took a sip of wine.  As a Chinese, who doesn¡¯t have any patriotic feelings? If it weren¡¯t for his love for Chinese movies, he would have joined Hollywood and filmed foreign blockbusters, winning the Shenma Golden Rooster Award.  Who knows about golden roosters and silver roosters after leaving the country?  Last year, there were unspoken rules to suppress his "The Wind".  Wan Xiaohu was very unhappy.  This year, I was hoping to be more formal, but I foolishly made a double yolk egg.  ¡° Refreshing the lower limit again and again, challenging the audience¡¯s IQ, and also challenging the bottom line of filmmakers like Wan Xiaohu.  This is not playing with fire, this is jumping into a pit of fire.     Sighed.  Wan Xiaohu picked up the cup and said: "Come, let's toast the Golden Rooster Award with a glass of wine, mourning its misfortune and being angry with it. I wish it a good journey." "Cang Dang", the quilt was touched with a clang.  The atmosphere at the table seemed a bit depressing. There were all young directors present. Except for Wan Xiaohu, everyone looked confused.  The Golden Rooster Award may be a microcosm of Chinese films.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The number of domestically produced movies in China hit a record of 200 in 2004. However, the sad thing is that the number of movies that the audience saw and could be released in cinemas was less than 20.  The remaining more than 180 films either died at film festivals or never saw the light of day at all.  Don¡¯t expect Wan Xiaohu to win the box office championship every time, easily earning over 100 million in box office.  This is because he makes classic movies that have been proven by time.  In fact, throughout 2004, there were only 15 films with a box office of more than 20 million yuan, of which only two were domestic films.  "One is "Zhang Side" with the main theme and sells government votes, and the other is "Crazy Racing" which was influenced by Wan Xiaohu and was born in advance.  The remaining "Wanted", "House of Flying Daggers" and "A World Without Thieves" are all co-productions.  And this year is even worse. There are no domestic films on the box office list. The only thing worth looking forward to is Zhang Yimou's literary film "Ride Alone for Thousands of Miles", while Wan Xiaohu's "Source Code" and the upcoming "Wu"??¡·are all co-productions.  So far, there are only more than 2,000 screens in the more than 1,000 theaters in 36 theater lines in China, with an average of only two screens per cinema.  The remaining 5,000 or so theaters are all single-hall cinemas.  When a Hollywood blockbuster or a co-produced blockbuster is released, domestic films are immediately squeezed out and rushed to the streets!  A large country with a population of more than one billion has 36 film studios and more than 100 private production companies of various sizes, but only has more than 7,000 screens.  It was like three hungry men sharing a bowl of rice. The stronger hungry man stretched out his hand and the bowl of rice was gone. The remaining hungry men could only stare.  What is even sadder than the fact that the movie cannot be released is that domestic piracy is rampant.  Dandelion is a private giant and has good relationships with distributors from all over the world. These distributors also hope to make a living from Dandelion's movies and will take the initiative to prevent piracy and keep the copies of movies confidential. Basically, blockbusters and movies by big directors have this treatment.  .  As for other movies, it's a matter of life and death.  Often before the movie is released in cinemas, pirated CDs are already available in video stores on the streets.  From 198 to 1989, the average ticket price in the Mainland was 0.25 yuan. In 2004, the average ticket price in the Mainland was 50 yuan. It increased 200 times in 15 years, but the income did not increase so much.  Obviously, the ticket price of 50 yuan is really not competitive compared with the 5 yuan pirated disc.  Even today¡¯s small white-collar workers only earn a few thousand yuan a month, and they can¡¯t afford to watch more movies.  Therefore, movie tickets are more concentrated on blockbusters.  Audiences are saving money just to watch blockbusters.  ¡°The market is small and squeezed by Hollywood blockbusters, co-production blockbusters and piracy. It is already difficult for Chinese films to survive.  The Golden Rooster Award, which is naturally rooted in Chinese films, has become increasingly emaciated.  Every year, only a few blockbusters are well-known to the audience, and these blockbusters only use a few stars.  Over and over again, China only has a few actors, cooking the leftovers back and forth.  I don¡¯t get tired of it in one or two years, and I definitely get tired of it in three or five years.  This is equivalent to a thin golden rooster, not even a good-looking chicken feathers.  You don¡¯t have nice feathers and you look thin. At least you have more fighting power, just like a fighting cock.  However, the combat effectiveness of the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards is even worse, and they cannot even lay down double-yolked eggs.  As a result, I couldn't hold back my fart~ Now that it's out, I can swallow back whatever I say, so what else can I expect?  This year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, but Wan Xiaohu is full of complaints and wants to tell the world.  Thinking about it again, the Golden Rooster Award is not far away. It will be changed to once every two years. It will gradually become far away from the public. Why should I step on it again?  Or maybe there is still a trace of unwillingness to give up in my heart.  I can only raise my glass from a distance here and wish the Golden Rooster Awards a smooth journey.  ??Chinese films will eventually shine.  Short-term depression and frustration are nothing!     A piece of cake!  ¡­ The Golden Rooster Awards came to an end, and the media didn¡¯t bother Wan Xiaohu.  In fact, Wan Xiaohu flew directly from Sanya to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, the next day. When he woke up, the depression from last night was gone.  When I came to Seoul, it was natural to meet Jun Ji-hyun.  "How have you been studying recently?" "It's still the same. It's troublesome to know a little about it." "Didn't I say, just understand the content of economic management, don't care too much about your grades. Here, I will give you a gift." Wan  Xiaohu said.  He took out a small box from his coat pocket.  "What?" "Open it and take a look." Quan Zhixian opened it with anticipation. Inside the box was a very small and exquisite Kung Fu Panda Po, which was exactly the same as the one Wan Xiaohu gave to Su Ya.  "This is Abaoit's still under confidentiality. I stole it from the manufacturer just to give it to you." "Ah, it's so beautiful, Xiaohu, you are so kind to me." "Haha, who am I not to be nice to you?  Good for you." After the tryst with Jun Ji-hyun, the Gulfstream G5 flew into the sky again, crossed the ocean, and arrived in Santa Monica.  "Tiger, I miss you." Jessica came to pick him up at the airport and gave Wan Xiaohu a big hug.  ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days, we haven¡¯t seen each other again.¡± Wan Xiaohu hugged Jessica and laughed.  "I've prepared a sumptuous dinner at home." "Wow, I happen to be hungry. Let's go back." After entering the car, Jessica picked up her handbag, with a zipper attached to it.  The mascot is none other than a very delicate and cute Kung Fu Panda doll. Needless to say, this is another gift specially stolen by Wan Xiaohu to give to his lover.  Counting carefully, ten thousand little tigers stoleThere are quite a few.  "This is an invitation from Marvel Comics. They are planning to hold a shareholder reception the day after tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the copyright income of comics." Jessica took out a beautiful invitation card from her bag and handed it over.  Wan Xiaohu took it casually and looked at it. The venue of the reception was set in a luxurious manor in Beverly Hills: "Did you tell me something specific?" "The reception was initiated by Thomas Billy, the major shareholder, and it was actually sponsored by Marvel Comics.  CEO Kevin Feige argued that Kevin believed that if Marvel Comics sold the copyright to others, he would only receive a small amount of profit, which was not in the interests of the company. He wanted to recover the copyright and invest in making movies himself. However, I  I have received opinions from several shareholders. They seem to be unwilling to take the risk of investing in movies. "Kevin Feige, this guy is still very smart. My dear, let's get ready after the cocktail party. I want to invite Kevin."  .Fei Qi came over for a meal and a chat.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± (To be continued.)
