The two-month summer vacation was neither long nor short, but it passed quickly, and soon it was time to start school again, but soon the climax of the two months did not stop, but continued, but
But it is not career-related, but awards-based rewards will follow. The first one to come is the nomination for the Golden Horse Award.
The Golden Horse Award is a competition award provided by Taiwan to promote Chinese-language film production and to excellent Chinese-language films and outstanding film workers. It has rewarded many excellent Chinese-language films and outstanding film workers and has become the highest honor for Chinese-language film production.
Indicators are of great help and encouragement to the Chinese film industry
The word "Golden Horse" is taken from the first word of Kinmen and Matsu on the coast of Fujian. These are the two battlefields advertised by the Taiwan authorities against the mainland. It implies the intention of promoting Taiwan's anti-Russian resistance through film culture, which fully demonstrates
Thinking out of the Cold War era
The Golden Horse Awards started very early, very early, as early as 1962, and since there were no similar audio and video product competition awards in mainland China and Hong Kong in the early days, the Golden Horse Awards have become one of the most high-profile film events in the Chinese area until today.
The awarding of the Golden Horse Awards is still of symbolic significance to Chinese films, especially in terms of artistic films. Well-known directors and actors in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles still attach great importance to the Golden Horse Awards competition; this can still be seen from its award list.
Directors and stars have been invited to present awards
Basically it can be said that this is still a very big event in the Chinese entertainment industry. Unlike the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards are based on Chinese-language films, which means that as long as they are Chinese-language films, you can sign up for the competition, whether they are mainland films or Hong Kong films.
It is also a Chinese-language film in Singapore. As long as it speaks Chinese, no matter what dialect, you can apply. Now the Golden Horse Awards judging scope has been broadened. As long as the director is Chinese, you can apply for the competition. It seems that this time Tsai Ming-liang's "Face", although there are
Foreigners participate in the show and have overseas funds, but Tsai Ming-liang is Chinese and can still sign up to participate.
Therefore, although it is a mainland film, "Love Is Not Blind" is actually qualified to compete for the Golden Horse Award!
The Hong Kong Film Awards is different. The Hong Kong Film Awards are based on local films. There are three conditions for participating in the Film Awards. First, at least 8 people in the film team must be registered in Hong Kong, including: actors, photographers, screenwriters.
Wait. Second: The film director must have a Hong Kong registered permanent residence. Third: If you meet any two of the three conditions for a film with Hong Kong capital injection, you can sign up for the Academy Awards.
Just like the previous films "City of Gold" and "The Night Banquet" were eligible to participate in the Academy Awards because they met the first and third conditions, and later "Aunt's Postmodern Life" because they met the second and third conditions.
You can also sign up for the Academy Awards under the third condition
For example, although "Lust, Caution" has Hong Kong funds injected, the director Ang Lee is Taiwanese, and there are less than 8 Hong Kong people in the film team, so he can only apply for the Best Asian Film
Compared to the Golden Horse Awards, the Academy Awards really seem a bit petty. Basically, only factors related to Hong Kong can be selected for the Academy Awards. This is widely criticized. If it were in the past, forget it. In the past, Hong Kong films were the most glorious.
At that time, Hong Kong movies basically represented Chinese-language movies. Ninety-nine percent of the movies that were generally talked about were Hong Kong movies. In East Asia, this was the territory of Hong Kong movies. When Hollywood movies came in, they had to be obedient, but now they are declining.
It means it has declined. In such a declining situation, it is absolutely unpopular to persist in this way.
Although there is intention to stand firm for Hong Kong films, just look at the Oscars. The Oscars do not prohibit films from all over the world from being submitted, and they do not favor anyone in particular. But have Hollywood films lost ground because of this? No, most of the time,
Hollywood movies are still great
Think again about how brilliant Hong Kong films were in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, even if films from all over Asia could compete, what was the use? Could they still be able to overwhelm the limelight of Hong Kong films at that time?
So in fact, it is the quality of films from a region that supports a film festival, rather than film festivals supporting films from a region. If Hong Kong films do not revive, it will be useless even if the Academy Awards try to restrict the entry of films from other regions.
Now the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards are important awards in the Chinese film industry. They are both top awards for Chinese films. They are both known as the "Oscars" of Chinese films. The reason why the Academy Awards can still maintain Chinese language
The two major film festivals in the film industry are famous not because his strategy is right, but because the power of Hong Kong movies is still there. The mainstream people in society now are the people who grew up watching Hong Kong movies.
During the glorious period of Hong Kong films, a large number of talents were cultivated, so it is not difficult for many films to meet those three conditions. But in ten or twenty years, the directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff who are now supporting Hong Kong films will
When you are too old to walk or make movies, where can you find Hong Kong movies or more than eight crew members in mainland and Taiwanese movies at that time? By then, most Chinese-language movies will not be able to meet the participation requirements.
When it comes to the conditions for the award, the Academy Awards will only become an award that Hong Kong people rank among themselves. From Asia's top awards to awards at Hong Kong's own internal film festivals, this is all foreseeable.
!
The only difference between the two film festivals is that the Golden Horse Awards focus more on literary and artistic films, while the Academy Awards focus on commercial films. This can be seen from some nominations. For example, the later "Red Cliff" shined at the Academy Awards, but at the Golden Horse Awards
It is slightly inferior in terms of awards.
Naturally, Zhang Yicheng has little hope for the Academy Award. Of course, that does not mean that he has no ambition. As one of the two top awards in the Chinese film and television industry, it is of course impossible to say that he has no ambition. It should be said that he is very ambitious.
