Chapter 86 Announcement
Everyone raised a lot of questions, and Lin Xiaotian had to explain them to everyone one by one. In short, companies that have not been recognized by the Film Association unanimously resisted, including giving Xiang Shi ten places, starting with the artists.
"There is another thing, that is, the Golden Tripod Awards are not recognized by the Filmmakers Association. All certified film companies are not allowed to participate in the Golden Tripod Awards. The Film Association recognizes that there are only the Golden Tripod Awards, and in the future, there will be only the Golden Tripod Awards for Hong Kong and even Chinese film selections. These are also our consensus," Lin Xiaotian said domineeringly.
Chen Siyuan felt sad for his old friend when he heard this. He knew about the collapse of Chen Baisheng and Lin Xiaotian. At that time, he advised Chen Baisheng to have a good talk with Lin Xiaotian. After all, Lin Xiaotian was thinking about talking, and he might have started talking a few more times. However, Chen Baisheng was unwilling to bow his head, and the others were unwilling to talk about it again. He let go of this matter. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaotian was waiting here. The people below also smiled bitterly. The Golden Horse Awards were completely over. It was true that offending the four giants would not end well.
Deng Guangrong of Shadow Master stood up, "Lin Sheng, what's going on with this [Golden Tripod Award]? Why haven't you heard of it?" Deng Guangrong was also sitting there and wanted to ask.
"[Golden Tripod Award] was founded by Tiantian Daily and has been approved by the Executive Yuan. In preparation, it belongs to a non-governmental organization. We include all Chinese-language films in the selection scope, including Taiwan and mainland China, and strive to create our Chinese Oscars. All selection work will be conducted by experts from major universities, as well as well as well-known people in the circle, and the media remember that top figures in various professional fields to evaluate the ownership of each award, which belongs to a non-profit organization," said Lin Xiaotian.
Now everyone knows what's going on. Compared with the Golden Cavaliers, this [Golden Tripod Award] is more authoritative, has a wider coverage and a greater influence.
Deng Guangrong stood up and asked, and he was also doing his best to his good friends. Then his friends could not say anything about him. After all, after asking, Deng Guangrong understood after listening to Lin Xiaotian's explanation. Even if he did not resist the Golden Star Award, the Golden Star Award would not be able to continue playing. It was not a product of the same level at all. He also sentenced the Golden Star Award to death in his heart.
While everyone was discussing inside, reporters from major newspapers who received the news were anxiously waiting. No one knew what was going on, but everyone knew in their hearts that something big was going to happen, otherwise why would these bosses get together? Something big would definitely happen.
The conference room was very enthusiastic. After Mr. Shao elected the first president, he selected four vice presidents, five executive committee members, and supervisory committee members. It can be said that the organization was clear.
President: Run Run Shaw Vice President: Lin Xiaotian, bad wrinkles, Lei Juekun, Xiang Huaqiang
Five executive members: Sammo Hung of Umbrella Film, He Guanchang of Jiahe Film, Mecca of Xinyi City, Fang Yihua of Shaw Brothers, and Deng Guangrong of Shadow Jie
Supervisory committee members: Chen Siyuan of Siyuan Film, Tsui Hark, Wong Baiming of Xinyi City, Zhang Wenyuan of Umbrella Film, Cen Jianxun of Dixun Film, and Li Guoxing of China Asia.
The association's address, source of income, etc., the association's program, purpose, and various standards were issued one by one. It can be said to be a constructive day. After everyone discussed and voted, the meeting ended successfully.
The conference decided that Mr. Shao would file a record with the Executive Yuan, Telecommunications Office, and other administrative departments, and other complicated documents, and all the presidents would be responsible for it. In the future, new film companies must be reviewed by the executive committee before they can be approved by the president and vice presidents. If they fail, they will never be allowed to enter the film industry. Major theaters are not allowed to release their films, and artists from each company are not allowed to accept film contracts, etc.
The establishment of the Film Association this time is beneficial to all aspects, especially the artists, who receive greater protection and can be said to be a win-win situation.
The rest should be announced. We will negotiate with Langham Hotel and directly arrange the press conference site, invite reporters in and make an announcement.
The venue was silent. There were too many big shots present today, and the reporters dared not do anything randomly. The host was Lin Xiaotian, who strided towards the speech stage.
Below is a flash. Lin Xiaotian patted the microphone with his hand. The situation was good. He looked below, "Dear friends from the press, first of all, thank you for your arrival. I will announce a few things." Before Lin Xiaotian finished speaking, there was another flash of flash. Everyone knows that the key thing is coming.
"The first thing is, in order to regulate the Hong Kong film market, make the film market more prosperous, and protect the rights and interests of artists, we all gathered here today to discuss the establishment of the Filmmakers Association. Everyone has made great efforts to do this and obtained a consensus. They have officially reported to the various administrative units of the Hong Kong government to establish the [Hong Kong Filmmakers Association]." As soon as Lin Xiaotian finished speaking, there was a flash of flashing lights below, and the reporters raised their hands to ask for a speech.
Lin Xiaotian pressed his hands down, and everyone calmed down, "Don't worry, everyone will leave time to ask questions, and it will definitely make everyone happy." The reporters below laughed.
"The second thing is that the conference elected Mr. Run Run Shaw as the first president of the Hong Kong Film Association." After Lin Xiaotian's words fell, Run Run Shaw next to him came to the stage to let everyone take photos.
"The third thing is to elect four vice presidents to assist the president's work, including me, Mr. Wrinkles, Mr. Lei Juekun, Mr. Xiang Huaqiang, and four people." Lin Xiaotian went to the side to meet with the three of them and stood in a row for everyone to take photos.
"The fourth thing is that the conference elects five executive committee members to be responsible for the daily work of the association, namely Mr. Sammo Hung, Mr. He Guanchang, Mr. Mecca, Ms. Fang Yihua and Mr. Deng Guangrong." The five people came on stage to ask everyone to take photos.
"The fifth thing was that the conference elected the supervisory committee members, namely: Mr. Chen Siyuan, Mr. Tsui Hark, Mr. Wong Baiming, Mr. Zhang Wenyuan, Mr. Cen Jianxun, and Mr. Li Guoxing." Another six people came up to let everyone take photos.
The reporters below didn't care about film at all and kept taking photos. What happened today was too big and it wouldn't work without taking good photos.
"The sixth thing is that our Filmmakers Association collectively rejects the Academy Awards and does not participate in the Academy Awards selection. The Association will create new awards to face all Chinese-language films."
