Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Mingbao is definitely the most troublesome person in Hong Kong right now.  The distribution port of United Cinemas had just been opened, and I immediately thought of controlling awards.  Regardless of what Li Mingbao said in front of Uncle Liu and the others, in fact, Li Mingbao is just a person who proposes ideas. For any specific situation, Uncle Liu and the others have to take action to solve the matter.  Basically, Li Mingbao is equivalent to a leader in this circle now. The so-called leader can only talk and run away.  Although Uncle Liu and the others would not do errands, these things must be put into practice, and the specific person in charge would definitely have to run away.  And these managers must not have much to do with Li Mingbao, because Li Mingbao has no suitable candidates and his own property has not been taken care of yet. How can he have more time to deal with these official matters?  So if we really want to implement Li Mingbao's idea, only Uncle Liu and the others have this ability.  Of course, Uncle Six and the others also enjoyed it.  After all, after being fooled by Li Mingbao, the connotation of the Academy Awards suddenly became higher and higher. The age of pursuing profits has passed. Now, people of Uncle Liu's age actually value reputation more.  The Academy Awards are obviously used to gain reputation. Not only can they gain reputation for their own people, they can also gain reputation for more people. And there are people in the circle who have the strength to do this.  There are only a few of them, Uncle Liu, and they are very confident that they want to handle this matter properly when they don't lack anything.  Of course, while Li Mingbao told Uncle Six and the others these things, he also told Uncle Six and the others some taboo issues about this award, especially an award like the Academy Award for Chinese people around the world, which must not be involved in political issues.  , in the selection of this award, we must remain neutral towards politics.  The so-called neutrality means that it is best not to have Hong Kong's own political goals. Whether people from Taiwan come to participate, people from the mainland come to participate, or Chinese political groups from areas such as Singapore come to participate, they must follow  As long as politics is not involved, no matter what aspect, when it comes to movies, you cannot enter the competition with political purposes.  ¡°If anyone violates such a rule, then the political films of that year and that region will not even be able to qualify for the primary election.  For example, if people from Wanwan came to participate in the Academy Awards and submitted a film about military education, it would definitely not be possible.  If the mainland wants to make some political films, it is impossible to agree. No local group can submit films of this type. Even local films cannot make political films.  Of course, this premise is actually quite broad set by Li Mingbao. It is not that he cannot tolerate movies with even a little bit of political content. If that were the case, many movies would not be eligible to participate in the selection of the Academy Awards because they either have support.  Fund, or some talk about political issues, but the meaning of the movie itself has nothing to do with politics.  Li Mingbao does not hope that the Academy Awards will become another stage for political exchanges in the future, but that does not mean that he will be able to completely reject it, because the Academy Awards cannot refuse such things, and anything can be involved in politics.  Li Mingbao just doesn't want the Academy Awards to become a political platform. Movies with too strong ideas are really not suitable for wandering around the Academy Awards, no matter how good he makes them.  Uncle Liu and the others also understand Li Mingbao¡¯s thoughts.  Even Uncle Liu and the others understand better than Li Mingbao that if the Academy Awards become a political platform, the credibility of this platform will definitely not be much higher, and it will only become a product of self-entertainment in a small circle.  Uncle Six and the others also don¡¯t want the awards they put so much effort into to end up not being there for the development of the film industry.  So as soon as Li Mingbao put forward this proposal, Uncle Liu and the others immediately agreed.  Later, Li Mingbao expanded the scope of the new Academy Awards.  After all, if a film award belongs to Chinese people around the world, if there are not enough awards and it is very arbitrary, it will also have a very bad impact. Just like the previous Academy Awards, there were only five awards in total. What influence can it have?  The Academy Awards should not only have more awards, but also be comprehensive. The most important thing is to learn from Hollywood's commercialization methods for awards and divide the cake. Only by dividing the small cake will the big cake come back. Too  Having a literary and artistic award is also not conducive to the promotion of this award.  Therefore, we must be cautious when it comes to the judges of the Academy Awards. We need not only literary and artistic personnel, but also commercial personnel. Anyway, seniors who are famous in the film circle, or people who are already famous in the film circle.  Anyone can join the judges circle.  This requires not only people from Hong Kong, but also people from other places.  In a word, since the Academy Awards is a film award that belongs to Chinese people around the world, the scope of the judges should also be from all over the world.Choose within the range.  Of course, many of the truly professional filmmakers are academics, and people in this group generally prefer films with higher artistic quality. If there are too many people in this group, the Academy Awards will also become movies.  It is an award within the circle, so in order to conform to the ideas of the wider public, or to be considered by more outsiders, Li Mingbao and others must be selected as judges by a certain proportion of outsiders. They may not know what the literary and artistic nature of the film is.  What it looks like, but with the eyes of their audience, they can also see that those films are more suitable for the public.  Basically, Lee Ming-pao does not intend to make the Academy Awards too literary or too academic. For a film award that belongs to Chinese people around the world, you cannot make this award too professional. How will outsiders view it?  Li Mingbao believes that art can only survive if the market is fully guaranteed.  If there is no market, no matter how artistic you are, you can only entertain yourself.  At that time, only people in a small circle will watch the movie. What benefit will that bring to the Chinese people around the world?  Therefore, regarding the Academy Awards, Li Mingbao feels that the artistic aspect can be taken care of, but more consideration must be given to market feedback.  Simply put, this award will be more commercial.  Regarding this point, both Li Mingbao and Sixth Uncle agree very much.  After all, in essence, these people are actually bosses. Although they are also people in the circle, they are not purely people in the circle. They are more concerned about whether the film industry makes money. If it does not make money, the film industry will  If you don¡¯t do it, it doesn¡¯t really matter.  Therefore, the awards created by this group of people will naturally not give the academic group an advantage. If those guys from the academic group come up with some films that have no market at all to recommend, wouldn't this award be completely without influence?  Li Mingbao has considered everything that should be considered, and also given a starting point for everything that should not be considered.  Basically, after this meeting, Uncle Liu and the others have more things to be busy with. Now the circulation port has not been completely stabilized, and Li Mingbao has to start a new project. To be honest, Uncle Liu and the others have found that they have been busy recently.  In the past two years, it has become increasingly busy, and a large part of the reason for this busyness lies in the sudden appearance of Li Mingbao. Otherwise, people like them would not have reacted so quickly.  After finishing talking about these trivial matters, Li Mingbao glanced at the Xiang brothers and said in a solemn tone: "As for the movie issues, we have basically considered them, and then we need to implement them step by step.  , there will definitely be great gains. But now there is a problem in front of us. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause trouble. Although it may not affect us, it will affect the foundation of Hong Kong movies.  If a tall building rises from the ground, if the foundation is not strong, we may not be able to stand firm. " "Li Sheng, what do you mean by this? We brothers, we don't really understand.  How can you have the ability to influence the foundation of the film industry?" Xiang Huasheng saw that Li Mingbao said this to his two brothers, so he responded with some dissatisfaction.  "I am not talking about you two brothers. On the contrary, I am saying this to make you two brothers pay attention to this issue. If nothing else, after the Hong Kong government issued that announcement, many people became interested in the movie.  The number of people looking for you two brothers recently is not a small number, right?" Li Mingbao looked at Xiang Huasheng and said.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, the Xiang brothers didn¡¯t look very good.  "Li Sheng, it is true that many people from social groups are inquiring about this matter recently, and they all want to enter this industry. But what can we do? The British Hong Kong government has opened this hole, can we still stop it? We old  Xin, although he has some strength, it is impossible to go against all the associations in Hong Kong, right? Wherever there is money to be made, there will naturally be people." Xiang Huaqiang said in a low voice.  Regarding this issue, the Xiang brothers are the most unhappy. When the two brothers entered this industry, they spent a lot of money, both in terms of money and as thugs.  I have invested so much before I even see where I can make money. Just when I am thinking about how to make money, more people come in to grab food.  Although they have seats in United Cinemas, which can be said to be very advantageous, their advantages are all bought with money.  But other societies can come in safely without much effort at all, and can also do other things.  And they can't stop it, otherwise they will go against the entire Hong Kong society. Such a result makes the Xiang brothers too entangled.  And now Li Mingbao is talking about this issue in front of Uncle Liu and the others.  In the eyes of the Xiang brothers, this is just a slap in the face.  And Li Mingbao also said that these guys willCausing confusion, doesn't the meaning behind these words mean that they want the Xiang brothers to be villains?  But can they be this evil person?  It's just a joke. Unless the old and new people stop mixing, how can they have the ability to take care of this matter when facing so many people?
