The first thousand one hundred and forty seventh chapters are not negotiable
"Although the purpose of our film festival is to enhance mutual understanding and friendship among film people in various countries and regions, and to promote the prosperity of world film art. But in fact, we all know that the purpose is nothing more than to expand Hong Kong films, or to the point of being broader, to expand the international popularity and influence of Chinese-language films and gain a certain right to speak. It cannot be said that our films can only be judged by others. If people say we are good, it is bad. We also have to evaluate their films in turn. We present them awards and make them proud of winning our awards. If we want to do these, the basic fairness and authority of the awards are necessary."
In Lin Qingxia's villa in Resuwan, Qiao Feng and Lin Qingxia accompanied their son Qiao Zhen to spend their parent-child time. Then Wang Jing came to disturb the rare reunion of the family.
Wang Jing looked at Lin Qingxia who rolled her eyes and Qiao Zhen, the little brat who rolled her eyes, and then explained his purpose.
He wanted to inquire whether the upper part of the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo passed the 500 million yuan he shot was possible, and if he could do it further, such as winning personal awards such as Best Director.
Thinking about it, Wang Jing also feels miserable.
Although he has always been known as the No. 1 commercial director in Hong Kong, he has never won any awards and honors, and he has not even won the nomination for the best director.
Even if I always remember my old Dou's words, only those who make money in movies are good directors. However, when I think about it occasionally, he still has a little envy of those directors who have both box office and awards.
I won’t talk about pure literary directors like Wong Kar-wai or Xu Anhua. Wang Jing never compares himself with art film directors.
But people like Lin Lingdong and Wu Yusen are not directors of art films.
Everyone is a director who earns tens of millions of box office, so why can the movies they make money and win awards?
But I didn't even have a nomination.
Are the movies you made bad?
Wu Yusen's true heroic character set a precedent for violent aesthetics of gangster themes. Didn't his own gambling god also lead the trend of gambling films and add another theme to Hong Kong genre films?
There is no harm without comparison.
Wang Jing felt that he was hurt.
But so what?
Whether it is the Hong Kong Film Awards or the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, people don’t like his style of entertainment until death.
I dare not hope to win these two awards.
Wang Jingdu lost his idea of winning the award.
However, although he gave up on his idea of winning the award, he thought he could invest in other people's art films. Alas, winning the award in the movies he invested in is also a kind of comfort.
I have to say that Wang Jing is very pure.
Purely, in his heart, he made movies for the box office and to make money. Only with the box office can he think about whether he could win an award or not.
But he is not resistant to art films.
As a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he actually has the tone of the literary youth.
He also likes to watch some art films, which are very emotional.
However, influenced by Lao Dou, he has a firm position and the purpose of making movies is to make money.
In addition, as long as it is not his own movie, he has a bit of humanistic feelings and is happy to see the films that discuss social issues. He even knows that he is willing to invest in the shooting of these literary and artistic movies even though he knows that he is willing to invest in the shooting of these literary and artistic movies.
It's a long way to go, let's get back to the topic.
Wang Jing has given up on winning the award, but Qiao Feng took the lead in hosting the Hong Kong International Film Festival but the idea of him winning the award emerged again.
Especially when the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo, who was released not long ago, was released, and the box office and reputation were both booming, he felt that he could actively strive for it.
After all, this film festival was held by my good friend.
The first thing you need is to get the moon when you are close to the water, and you still need this advantage.
So he came, he came, and he walked on the auspicious clouds.
However, as soon as he finished speaking his thoughts, Qiao Feng wiped out all his fantasies with one blow.
Qiao Feng’s meaning is very clear. The Hong Kong International Film Festival must ensure basic fairness and justice in order to be recognized by people and be authoritative.
It is impossible to operate in a dark box.
"What do you think the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo is better than the Tuohao?" Qiao Feng asked back.
"It should be almost the same?" Wang Jing smiled a little guiltyly.
"As much? What do you think?" Qiao Feng rolled his eyes in contempt: "In terms of pioneering nature, Cruohao is the first person in the gang biographies. Your 500 million Inspector Lei Luo Chuan can only follow the trend and pick up people's wisdom. In terms of depth, there is no need to say that since the movie was released, the audience's reputation, various professional and non-professional film reviews, Cruohao has more than 500 million Inspector Lei Luo Chuan. You don't deny this. As for the box office you are most proud of, Cruohao's box office of more than 38 million, currently ranks third among the movies released this year. Although the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo Chuan is still being released, the box office of 19 million in ten days can basically be predicted that the total box office is only about 30 million, and it is impossible to exceed Cruohao's 38 million. In all aspects, the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo Chuan is not as good as Cruohao. Tell yourself, is it possible that you get this award? Are you qualified?"
"That's right. I admit what you said, but the awards are never just these hard indicators. Otherwise, how could Gengganu win the Golden Horse Awards? Qingxia didn't even get the nomination for Best Actress. "Wang Jing was useless to belittle Qiao Feng, and Wang Jing was not happy.
Is it good that we are good friends? Even if the 500 million Inspector Lei Luo is not as good as Tu Hao, you don’t need to step on it like this.
"Fatty, you also said that the failure to go to the Golden World is not because of ineligibility. Qingxia failed to get the nomination for Best Actress because she is not a Hong Konger. But isn't this the original intention of me to hold the Hong Kong International Film Festival? " Qiao Feng sighed and said, "One of my original intention of holding the Hong Kong International Film Festival is to not affect the fair evaluation of a movie due to reasons other than the selection of regions and other factors. Then if I get you to win the award because of my personal relationship with you, what is the meaning of my holding this film festival."
Qiao Feng is not so upright and selfless that he doesn't care about his friends.
If the quality is really on the same level, there will be no big controversy for anyone to give the award, then he can't help saying hello.
After all, no matter which film festival it is, public relations exists. It is even the basic rules.
However, the Hong Kong International Film Festival is not only a film selection award in Hong Kong, but also a film festival for Chinese-language films, but also a film festival for filmmakers around the world.
The 500 million Inspector Lei Luo even lost the meaning of the local movies, let alone compared with movies from other regions and countries.
If Wang Jing really wins the award, then the first film festival will be completely a joke.
There is no need for an authoritative film award.
