Chapter 555 Give Mao some face

""Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Manslaughter" were defeated. Xudong, do you have anything to say?"

"Nothing to say...normal operation..."

"Normal operation?"

"The Academy Awards are a group vote in the Hong Kong film industry. There are inevitable human factors. I am an outsider in Hong Kong. It is normal not to win the award..."

The 26th Academy Awards has ended, but the noise it brought is far from over.

Jiahe returned with a big defeat this time!

Not a single important award was given, only a few technical awards for photography, editing, visual effects, and sound effects!

Oh, and the best martial arts instruction…

Shen Xudong simply did not go to the official dinner, and directly took the "Stone" crew to leave the venue...

Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan also attended the official dinner...

After all, they are the benchmark figures of the Hong Kong Film Association - the Academy Award is an award jointly selected by the 'Awards Voters' composed of 13 Hong Kong professional film associations!

As for "Manslaughter" and "The Tailor", the crews have basically left.

A bunch of reporters blocked the door, interviewing Shen Xudong.

If you want to talk about other awards, forget it and don’t give them. I didn’t give them the screenplay awards for “Manslaughter” and “Glory of the Tang Dynasty” either!

Shen Xudong.

Venice, the winner of the Oscar for Best Screenplay, lost the Academy Award?

This stuff is so nonsense.

"So, are you saying that the selection mechanism of the Academy Awards is unfair and discriminates against mainland filmmakers?"

Shen Xudong had no intention of saving face for the Academy Awards, and said directly: "Isn't it obvious...I admit that Liu Qingyun's acting skills are excellent, but his performance in "I Want to Be Famous" was not wonderful, and Director Chen actually lost Give it to him? Except in Hong Kong, at the Academy Awards, anywhere in the world, Director Chen will definitely win!"

The media were instantly excited and wanted this!

The reporter then asked again: "..."Manslaughter" lost the screenplay award to "Father and Son"..."

Shen Xudong shrugged and did not answer...

"Then what do you want to say?"

"Nothing to say... No, you can report: As long as I, Shen Xudong, am still the chairman of Jiahe's board of directors, movies produced by Jiahe will no longer be registered for the Academy Awards!"

After hearing this answer, a group of media members were stunned for a moment: "...won't you sign up?"

It’s too much fun!

Just stop signing up?

Johnnie To is so cool, he just announced that he will not participate in the Academy Awards. Galaxy Image's movies still have to apply for the Academy Awards...

"...Yes, any works I participate in will not be registered for the Academy Awards in the future."

"Is it still being released in Hong Kong?"

"Nonsense, why won't it be released in Hong Kong? Why, they can decide the awards and what movies the audience likes to watch?"

"Xudong, sequel to "Zhao Zilong"..."

"The project has been approved and filming will start next month..."

"Filming starts next month? But director Li Rengang and Andy Lau..."

Shen Xudong smiled: "The Three Kingdoms series has a complete shooting plan. Thanks to director Li Rengang and Liu Tianwang for a good start..."

"So, you want to change the actor?"

"Yes...when it is released, I hope everyone will promote it more!"

…

Shen Xudong was completely angry!

First the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", then the Academy Awards...

It's clear that I'm targeting him.

The problem is, you have to have good works.

You use "Father and Son" against "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Manslaughter"...

Wouldn't it be too outrageous?

Red fruit local protection!

Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are also quite depressed, especially Sammo Hung. "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" brought him back to the top - the mainland box office was 203 million, the Hong Kong box office was 38 million, Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan sold 26 million US dollars, including Europe and the United States. There are overseas copyrights sold...

Actually it only won the Best Cinematography and Best Action Design awards?

But he can't do anything. He himself is also a participant in the Academy Awards - perhaps the most helpless thing in life is to watch the beautiful world in his heart come to an end step by step.

I heard that at the cocktail party last night, Sammo Hung cursed Chen Jia Shang, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, saying that he could not understand the current situation...

Of course, Sammo Hung can scold Chen Jiashang - when Sammo Hung founded Debao, he invested in Chen Jiashang's first few dramas: "Little Man Weekly", "The World of Three"...

As for Jackie Chan, he is probably used to it - the Academy Awards are sponsored by "Movie Weekly", and the film review magazine must be inclined to the New Wave group, and they naturally despise Jackie Chan's action films and entertainment films.

Not only are they depressed, the mainland media and the Internet have been completely scolded:

"The Golden Statue is originally a self-proclaimed enclosure. It relies on the influence of Hong Kong movies to gain attention. If Hong Kong movies are declining, the Golden Statue will naturally also be lonely."

"When it's time to be professional, talk about human relations. When it's time to be human, it's unkind. When it's time to be open and tolerant, it's behind closed doors. When it's time to protect the local area, it's wide open. Sometimes you respect the old and love the young, and sometimes you don't recognize your relatives. The main thing is An anachronism.”

"Since the mother of the New Wave - Liang Li Shaoxia, this Academy Award has been both important and established, but now it has only been exposed to be even more nondescript."

"Madame Statue Organizing Committee, don't always blame TVB for not bidding for broadcast rights, don't always think about cooperating with mainland TV stations, don't always want to make big news, improve your posture level, you don't have to do it well A prize, but please be a good person."

"You are so shameless, Xudong don't go there next time!"

…

There are all kinds of abuses on the Internet, and the media and film critics in Hong Kong are also following the heat - some are siding with Shen Xudong, while others say that Shen Xudong does not understand art...

Film critic Shu Qi said, "A visitor from the mainland does not understand Hong Kong movies. The most important thing about Hong Kong movies is Hong Kong flavor... I am happy to witness the failure of Golden Harvest!"

There is also irony: 'Venice, the Academy Award for Best Screenplay lost the Academy Award. The Academy Award is really great!'

But regarding what Shen Xudong said about Jiahe’s withdrawal from the Academy Awards, they all agreed: This matter is likely to affect the ‘authority’ of the Academy Awards...

After all, after Shen Xudong took over Golden Harvest, the movies he shot were all heavyweights - "New World" is still in theaters!

"New World" has been in theaters for four weeks, and its box office has exceeded 40 million, which is about to surpass "Zhao Zilong".

Neither the No. 1 nor No. 2 movie at the box office will participate in next year's Academy Awards?

According to the original words of the media: Shen Xudong’s anger caused the Hong Kong Film Association to fall apart!

Then what?

The person in charge of the Hong Kong Film Association came first, but Shen Xudong didn't see him at all. Then, officials from the mainland came and conveyed the central idea: cross-strait co-productions are the mainstream, and Golden Harvest cannot damage the general environment...

In a word: To achieve harmony between the two places, we must put the overall situation first.

Of course, there are no benefits at all. For example, the film provides some filming funds and so on...

Shen Xudong has always been...obedient to the organization. He nodded in agreement on the spot, and then the next day, he issued an internal announcement: From this year on, works controlled by Shen Xudong will no longer participate in any activities of the Academy Awards. As for his artists, in principle There are no requirements, just make your own decision.

If I don’t participate myself, I can’t go wrong, right?
