PS: Please vote for recommendation! Please vote for monthly ticket!

"Chinese-language films are showing off at the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival! The Hong Kong New Wave film "The Birth of a Prefix" won multiple awards!" - "Ming Pao"

""The Birth of a Prefix" won the Best Director and the Golden Balloon Award! Western filmmakers are amazed!" - "Sing Tao Daily"

"Last night, at 20 o'clock, at the France Cante Film Festival, the Hong Kong film "The Birth of a Prefix" won three awards!

The French Art Film and Experimental Association called this film a rare cinematic exploration in recent years.

This is another innovation in film language. In terms of film structure, narrative and lens, this film is a rare masterpiece in the film industry in 1986..." - "New Evening News"

While the filming of "Young and Dangerous" was intense, Chiang Zhiqiang acted like a rich man and won the Golden Balloon Award, the Best Director Award, and recently the three major awards for photography and music.

This award itself is indeed not particularly eye-catching, but it can’t stop Jiang Ershao from being rich?

The next day, photos of Chiang Zhiqiang holding three trophies were printed on the supplements of many mainstream newspapers in Hong Kong. If you look carefully, you will find that the background of the photo is actually Victoria Harbor!

The name of 1024 Locomotive and Antai Pictures was pulled next to a red banner, which was particularly eye-catching.

With his small body holding three trophies, Mr. Jiang stood helplessly in Victoria Harbor, holding on to the banners of two film companies. He posed in a concave pose and took additional photos to create this photo.

Then, without waiting for Second Young Master Jiang to resist, this group of photos appeared openly in the supplements of various newspapers. The printing was not clear, and many citizens thought that someone had "won three yuan" to receive the bonus!

But no matter what, in this way, it has indeed gained a lot of attention. It is also in line with Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang's plan for the next release in the Wanwan market.

At this time, the Wanwan entertainment circle particularly likes to pursue the popularity of Hong Kong Island. "The Birth of a Prefix" not only sold well at the box office in Hong Kong Island, but also won awards one after another, which will naturally be a good promotion for the film's subsequent release in Wanwan.



Although the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival is only in its seventh year now, when it was first held, it was purely for French filmmakers to facilitate the exchange of films from the three continents, which is also commonly known as a black agency...

The two Yarrado brothers are famous French film promoters.

The Nantes Three Continents Film Festival is a subsidiary of the Cannes Film Festival. Many third world international directors have been favored by the Nantes agency. After a little training, they were promoted to Cannes to debut.

The competition for direct lineage in film festivals is no worse than in the sports competition circle. The Berlin Film Festival and Venice Film Festival also have their own teams and direct lineage teams.

These small film festivals are like the "youth training camps" of several major film festivals, constantly cultivating their own top stars.

The three-continent intermediary training base in Nantes has indeed produced many eye-catching top names. For example, Hou Xiaoran, who was next to Wu Xiaozu, and later Chairman Jia and Zhang Jinquan also received support and praise from Nantes.

In the Chinese film industry, when it comes to winning awards, if Wang doesn’t come out with sunglasses, who can compete with Hou Huai?

The fifth generation of Mainland China has just begun to "show off" their talent in front of the world. The second-generation director and leading brother Chen Kaige is stepping onto the international stage with his partner Zhang Yimou, who is as dark as stir-fried beans and works with "Yellow Earth".

Tian Shou Shou, Huang Jian Xin and others also met by chance.

At this time, Director Wu was treated differently by Nantes, and even without anyone present, he was given a huge gift package for newbies: the Golden Balloon Award, Best Director and Best Cinematography and Music Awards.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhiqiang came back, he frowned at Wu Xiaozu and said, "Don't stop me, I have to blow 50,000 yuan!"

Then, news of the award-winning "The Birth of a Prefix" appeared in newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although it was not on the front page, it also attracted the attention of many film workers and film lovers.

Taking advantage of this trend, Scholar Film Company here in Wanwan directly released "The Birth of a Prefix"!

It is the second time that Wu Xiaozu’s name has come into the public eye in Bayan, but this is the first time for serious news!

If the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival does not attract the attention of the public.

Well, as the New Year approaches, the top ten Chinese-language films of 1986 released by Hong Kong Island's most famous and professional film magazine "Film Fortnightly" have pushed Wu Xiaozu into the eyes of ordinary people.

"The Birth of a Prefix" was selected as one of the top ten Chinese-language films of the year.

The top ten films are selected by the "Film Fortnightly" magazine founded in 1981 and voted by countless film critics in Hong Kong Island.

Select the "Top Ten Chinese Films" and "Top Ten Foreign Language Films" of the year. The selection scope is the films screened in Hong Kong Island this year.

This selection has attracted much attention in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and it has also been sought after by many movie fans once it was launched.

Every year, many movie fans argue with each other because their favorite movies were not selected.

The most controversial event was the second one in 1982, when "Shaolin Temple", an epoch-making film, was ignored by film critics. It can be said that it aroused thousands of waves for a while, and also produced a famous newspaper in the Hong Kong film circle.

controversy.

Unfortunately, film critics also have good reasons: this movie has too strong a commercial feel.

The problem is that back then, even movies such as "The Best Partner", "The Prodigal Son", "Eighteen Martial Arts", and "Qi Men Dun Jia" were selected. Is there any movie with a stronger commercial atmosphere than these movies?

Rather than saying that "Shaolin Temple" has too strong a commercial atmosphere, it is better to say that the Hong Kong film circle discriminates against mainland films.

The xenophobia of the Hong Kong film industry is not very obvious among the film workers who actually make movies. The most xenophobic are the film critics with pens. If they are not xenophobic, how can they express their excellence?

To borrow a sentence from later director Gao Qunshu: When did Chinese-language films have professional film critics? It’s all nonsense...

This time, "The Birth of a Prefix" was selected into the top ten Chinese-language films, and there was some controversy among film critics. It was not because of the controversy surrounding this film.

"The Birth of a Prefix" is here. If you want to be successful, you have to weigh your own physique first. What's more, you have Yu Cheng, the female boss, to take care of you.

The most controversial thing is Wu Xiaozu's first debut film - "The Butcher on a Rainy Night"!

This movie can actually be regarded as creating a branch of genre films in Hong Kong. Back then, "Mr. Zombie" was able to earn its place by pioneering genre films, so "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" should naturally have a place as well!

But it's a pity...

There are ten movies in total. Wu Xiaozu, a newcomer, has to occupy two seats at once. What will happen to the rest?

Don't they want to lose face?

Therefore, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" was squeezed out. This is understandable. Besides, Wu Xiaozu didn't pay much attention to this. His mind was entirely on the filming of the film...
