Director’s Legend

"Forty-four years of the Golden Horse Awards-born in controversy, died in controversy!"-well-known filmmaker Song Ziwen wrote the next day and published it on major websites such as Luhu and Xinlang.

The Golden Horse Award began in 1958. At that time, it was not called the Golden Horse Award. It was just a reward for Taiwanese films on the island of Taiwanese films. In 1962, due to political factors, the Baodao authorities began to suppress Taiwanese films and began to promote Chinese films. But that era was the world of Taiwanese films, and even Hong Kong had to produce one or two hundred Taiwanese films every year to cater to them. Where would Chinese films come from?

Therefore, the Baodao authorities established the Golden Horse Award, and selected Hong Kong films that have been screened on the island. A purely commendation for the island film was defined as a large category of the pan-Chinese dialect, and it was forced to go to the quasi-film festival. the way.

As a result, a Hong Kong film that was even more unexpected and was used for temporary replenishment, rescue, and life-saving, was so big and square that it has been on the top of the treasure island film for forty-four years, and its monopolistic package phenomenon It hasn't changed so far.

In the 1990s, the Baodao film market gradually fell, and a large number of filmmakers turned their attention to overseas film festivals, and the Golden Horse Awards began to look lonely in the embarrassment of lack of firewood and rice. Is it to choose art? Or is it to recognize business? This controversy began to confuse the selection forces of the Golden Horse Awards.

We must know that Baodao Films has been unable to produce any decent commercial films, and a large number of art films in the past have not been valued by the Golden Horse Awards. This situation makes the organizers have to sway between business and art and fail to take their stand. Persevering to the end has caused more controversy.

In Treasure Island Film, the recognition criteria cannot be selected. And when there is no way to organize vector film sources to compete, Hong Kong films still play a big role. Hong Kong films have been covered by the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for so many years like a fig leaf, but nowadays, the world that has deteriorated year by year can no longer continue to support the Golden Horse Awards with the industry chain.

Since 2002, Hong Kong's film production has declined, quality has declined, and business has collapsed. Every year, it has set new records for the lowest production and lowest efficiency. In 2005, Golden Horse will experience the embarrassment of only 20 participating films in the past few years, making it even more at a loss and difficulty.

In 2006, the Golden Horse Awards faced Hong Kong’s production of only a few dozen films last year, and had to focus on the mainland. Relaxing conditions. And put the co-production film into the selection category. A large number of mainland movies began to move towards the booth of this year's Golden Horse Awards. "Curiosity Kills the Cat", "Night Banquet", "Painted Skin", "Looking Beautiful: Little Red Flower" and "Wu Qingyuan" who retired halfway through, have all begun to capture people's vision, while Hong Kong movies seem to be in the wild this year. I had to make a foil.

The Golden Horse Awards are getting more and more lively, but the market for Chinese-language movies is getting worse and worse. Treasure Island, which has no movies, is hiding its embarrassment with the help of two door panels in Hong Kong and the Mainland. It also uses the newly-populated mainland movies as a selling point. however. Behind this lively location. Who cares about which direction the Chinese film will turn in tomorrow?

I think if you look back at the increasingly boring Hong Kong movie golden statues, and the golden roosters and flowers that are becoming less and less popular, you will understand.

You can't die. Damn it.

The illusion of singing and dancing is used to entertain the public in TV variety shows, and has nothing to do with the current deteriorating living conditions in the film industry. Of course, it has nothing to do with the future of Chinese cinema. I didn't complain about "Painted Skin", I was just worrying about Chinese films!

...

If it is said that Song Ziwen's manuscript is clouded and foggy, it is vague, then an article in the Information Times is clear at a glance.

"The Golden Horse Award wants to get out of the shackles of literature and art, but I am afraid that the steps will be too great, which will cause "Painted Skin" to be so excellent, and it can only return with hatred! None of the four awards belongs to "Painted Skin", not only the audience cannot understand, but the awards are It's just a ridicule."

But in any case, the Golden Horse Awards have been settled, and some are happy and sad.

Shao Shuaijun re-entered the shooting in the comfort of countless people.

With money and equipment, Shao Shuaijun can take pictures as much as he wants. For him, the imax camera is getting more and more convenient. After he knows how to shoot, the processed pictures are perfect, and how to make effective intervals can be more full. Exposure film.

When December passed by in a hurry, "The Night Watcher" was finally finished after three months of shooting.

The news of the finalization immediately attracted a large number of reporters for interviews, most of which were domestic reporters.

"Director Shao, congratulations to your new drama finally being completed, can you tell me what you expect from it?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled and said: "I hope it can bring you a novel viewing experience, a huge experience that stimulates your eyeballs."

"It’s the first time to make a movie in Hollywood. How does it feel different from making a movie in the Mainland?"

"I feel a lot. Americans pay attention to rules in doing things, such as leaving get off work on time, equal communication, etc.. We film in the mainland, and the director has the final say. When you get off work, you have to get off at what time. It is different here. There are labor contracts. , We don’t have the right to worry about working hours. It took me a long time to get used to it because I’m always used to procrastinating when shooting.”

"Except for one time, do you feel any other difficulties?"

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "I don't know how to say it. I think that as a Chinese, there are still some obstacles to filming in the United States. For example, when I go to negotiate with others, I say I am a director. They don't believe it. I despise you. Fortunately, I have my own company in the United States. My producer Mitchell Bruce has been in the film industry for many years. He came forward to deal with me and everything went well."

In the United States, Shao Shuaijun did encounter various problems. For example, once, when he entered the crew, several white staff members did not recognize him. He tried to ask for directions, only to be despised by a few whites and said something racist. In the end, Shao Shuaijun would rather expel these guys for breach of contract, but this thorn still remained.

Therefore, he spent most of the time on the crew, and all kinds of outreach situations were handed over to Mitchell.

For him, all his self-confidence now has been invested in "The Night Watcher", learning imax shooting, learning Hollywood production, and learning all kinds of director knowledge that he can't learn in the mainland. That feeling can overwhelm everything and make him fundamental Don't care about the opinions and thoughts of the outside world.

"What if I lose the Golden Horse Awards? When "The Night Watcher" comes out, I will shock the world. Do I care about a small treasure island movie award."

"How about scolding me for lavishly and blindly investing, imax commercial film comes out, I will slap you in the face!"

"I am Shao Shuaijun, I speak for myself!"

Looking at the hustle and bustle of the reporters in the audience, they kept holding the camera, flashing the flash.

Shao Shuaijun smiled with a trace of hideousness, and only the idea of ​​box office sales in his mind. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
