For a company, it’s useless just to have a box office. If you don’t have the corresponding top-level trophies, you are just an upstart. Therefore, for many film companies, in addition to such commercial films, they must also shoot a certain amount of films.
Movies with connotation, and then strive for awards, otherwise the trophy room will not be enriched at all
In fact, Zhang Yicheng still has the idea to compete for the Academy Awards next year. Basically, the release date of "Love Is Not Blind" is in the middle of the year. According to the selection process, it will be the turn of the Academy Awards in 2009.
Awarded, among these three conditions, except that Huang Yilin is a non-Hong Kong director, there are more than eight Hong Kong staff members in the crew. This is too simple. The Hong Kong staff in "33 Days of Love" are far behind.
There are more than eight, because relatively speaking, from behind the scenes to in front of the stage, the group of people from Hong Kong are the best, so there is no shortage of Hong Kong employees in Zhang Yicheng's company.
There is also investment in Hong Kong. This is even easier. Zhang Yicheng went to Hong Kong to open a leather goods company and then invested. Even if everyone knew there was something wrong, it was useless. He only said that it had Hong Kong capital, but did not say that Hong Kong capital must also be Hong Kong.
Man, this is a loophole that can be exploited, but it's just an exploit.
But for the time being, there is no need to think about 2009, which is still too far away. There is still more than a year left. Although there is a long-term plan, it is only a long-term plan and is not the focus of the company's work.
As for the Golden Horse Award, although the conditions are sufficient, as long as it is a Chinese-language film, and of course the films produced by Star Entertainment are Chinese-language films, the Golden Horse Award is biased towards literary films, and focuses on encouraging film creations with strong artistic characteristics, which has led to some
Filmmakers criticize the Golden Horse Awards for being artistic and abstract, which is not helpful in encouraging the development of commercial films in Taiwan.
Before the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the famous director Tsai Ming-liang publicly announced that he would boycott participation from now on, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Golden Horse Awards executive committee and jury members.
For this reason, although Tianlan Entertainment met the qualifications for this year's Golden Horse Awards with the film "Love Is Not Blind", they didn't take it seriously. It was obviously a commercial film. Think about it with your toes.
Everybody knows the type
The Golden Horse Awards have always favored literary and artistic films, so Zhang Yicheng simply gave up the idea and thought that the Golden Horse Awards would be more reliable.
But he didn't expect that he would be shortlisted, which made Zhang Yicheng a little dumbfounded.
Zhang Yicheng still vaguely remembers some matters about this year's Golden Horse Awards in his previous life. This year's Golden Horse Awards did not have too many controversies. At this Golden Horse Awards, there are three movies that are the most awesome. One is "Investment" with a large number of big names.
Big names such as Jet Li and Andy Lau have made this film attract everyone's attention from the beginning. Another film, "Assembly", which is purely about the People's Liberation Army, can actually be recognized, which shows that the Golden Horse Awards have indeed done a good job.
It’s much more authentic than the Academy Awards. There are no firewalls. This is the most convincing aspect of this year’s Golden Horse Awards.
In fact, for "Cape No. 7" and "Assembly Number", "Cape No. 7" is the dark horse and is here to disrupt the situation. Assuming that "Cape No. 7" had not come out, I believe these two movies would have swept the film industry.
However, without "Cape No. 7" at the Golden Horse Awards, Taiwanese films would be too bleak. Almost at the most dangerous moment, "Cape No. 7" and "The Boy", "Nine Falling Winds", "The Flower Ate That Girl"
"New Taiwanese films that are no longer so literary and artistic have appeared, and they have also won recognition from the Golden Horse Awards. Although these films have not yet become popular across the Taiwan Strait, the spring of Taiwanese films is still possible, purely from the perspective of commercial returns.
To put it bluntly, because the cost of these movies is relatively small and most of them have subsidies, they are no longer self-contained movies.
Of course, compared to "Cape No. 7", "Thirty-Three Days of Love" is definitely a super dark horse that is darker than him. It is even darker than the white horse. This is actually not surprising. In a general sense, a dark horse
It's just a dark horse. No matter how awesome it is, it's just a dark horse. It can't escape the comments of the nouveau riche. But the film "Love Is Not Blind" has become so dark that people have to be convinced. It has a box office of 2.6 billion yuan.
It's a miracle that makes people have to face it
However, I don’t know whether it’s a pity or luck. The film “33 Days Later” didn’t compete with these films and missed the schedule.
Judging from the competition and box office win-win of the same period at this time last year, "The War" and "Assembly Number" both use war as a means of telling stories and portraying the background of human nature. The pattern of abnormal Chinese blockbusters has emerged, and Chen Kexin's directorial ability
, the overall grasp of "Tou Ming Zhuan", Liu Heng's script, and Zhang Hanyu's acting skills are all undoubtedly winner-takes-all. Indeed, such a result is just a pre-announced decision, and there are not many surprises when looking back at "Tou Mingzhuan" again.
The three films "Famous", "Assembly" and "Cape No. 7" are all clearly about human nature, including complex choices in troubled times, tracing the true historical truth in peaceful times, and ordinary people's pursuits in secular life. In short
, only by correcting names can harmony be possible
Generally speaking, those with a bit of literary and artistic flair are more favored by the Golden Horse Awards. This can be seen from several films shortlisted this year, including "The No. 1", "Assembly", "Cape 7"
"No." is all like this
Chen Kexin's "Report of Nomination" is innovative and tries the method of "fighting war with war" to reject the rootless narrative committed by "Hero" and "The Promise" and reshape the story of "Jingma", not only changing the name of the protagonist of the original story
It completely erased and strengthened the description of the political struggle. Although the latter is a bit too direct to ordinary people's rational judgments, it is actually very simple. War kills people, war tortures people, ordinary people suffer, women are raped, and there is absolutely no Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige.
Comics and stunts under the lens
Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" talks about the truest simplicity of countless heroes who have been glamorized. It returns to the most real part. War is very cruel. If you don't blow the bugle and rush forward, you won't be beaten.
Even if you die, you will have to die for a long time even if you can't die. You can pretend to be a hero for a long time. If you die, you will die. You may fall apart. This is how human nature is in troubled times.
The "Cape No. 7" whirlwind that blew up across Taiwan gave people an unprecedented hope for Taiwanese films. Zhu Yanping, a famous commercial film director in Taiwan, even said that "Taiwanese films will never die."
