Chapter 828 Movie that changes the rules of the Golden Horse Awards

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
After the plan to introduce excellent Hong Kong films was approved, major Hong Kong companies carefully selected their own films to be reviewed in the mainland.

But after more than two months, most of the videos submitted for review have been cracked. The first batch of passes were DreamWorks' "Tang Bohu's Flag of Autumn", "Jurassic Park", Jiahe's "Flying Eagle Plan" and "Police Story 3".

Even "The World of Truman" and "Huang Feihong 4" were inexplicably clicked, and some shots of "Tang Bohu's Dot in Autumn" were deleted before they were passed.

Wong Baiming was confident that he wanted to take "Happy Events in Family" to the mainland for screening, but after using the scissors twice, he still failed to review it. Wong Baiming was so angry that he wanted to give up directly.

We originally thought that the entrance limit for 10 Hong Kong films per year was too small, but now we think it is too many. The production volume of hundreds of Hong Kong films per year is so difficult to pick out 10 that meet the requirements of mainland censorship.

At this time, there was no Golden Monday in the mainland, but most units still had to have holidays during the National Day, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was scheduled to be released on the National Day.

The extremely crazy and funny Zhou's comedy style completely subverts Tang Bohu's traditional image as a talented man.

After the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the mainland, it stunned the mainland audience. Those who liked it praised Stephen Chow to the sky, while those who didn't like it criticized the movie for nothing.

To put it clearly, that is, most common people like to watch it, but many intellectuals think that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is too vulgar.

For example, in the film, Tang Bohu and Tong Chuanyan are in contrast, and I am so powerful that I show my courage; you are vulgar and humble, revealing half of your glans. This kind of low-level thing is simply vulgar.

Most mainland newspapers criticized "Tang Bohu's Delicacy", not only scolding director Kang Jianfei and the male lead Stephen Chow, but also scolded the heroine Gong Li.

What he said is that Gong Li doesn’t even want the most basic principle of being an actor in order to make money, which simply makes the face of Chinese actors lose all their faces.

Not surprisingly, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was rated as the most vulgar movie of the year by mainland media, and many newspapers called on relevant departments to ban screenings and ban them.

The newspapers only complained a few words, and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" naturally could not be banned.

Not to mention taking into account the face of Hong Kong compatriots (Kang Jianfei), even the Film Bureau and the tax department are unwilling to do so, because although "The Legend of Tang Bohu" was scolded very badly by the newspaper, the box office has skyrocketed, and ordinary people like this nonsense and funny movie to the extreme.

In the original time and space, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released in the mainland but failed to catch up with the good opportunity. At that time, the mainland film market had begun to shrink sharply.

At this moment, the mainland film market, which has not yet been ravaged by pirated VCDs, is still booming. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has exceeded 100 million in less than a month after its release.

Don’t be too surprised by this. Not only did this year’s mainland film "Zhou Enlai" have a box office of more than 200 million yuan, but even "Xiyingmen" ten years ago could have a box office of more than 200 million yuan.

As of December, the mainland box office of "Tang Bohu's Tiger" has a total of more than 140 million yuan. After tax deduction, it can also bring DreamWorks a net profit of more than 20 million yuan, which is far exceeding the income of Hong Kong films in Taiwan.

When the mainland box office data of "Tang Bohu's Tiger" came back, other Hong Kong film companies were jealous.

Wong Pai-ming even personally cut "Happy Events in Family" with scissors, and finally passed the review of the Film Bureau in early 1993.

When "The Lost Fragrance of Tang Bohu" was popular in mainland China, "Jurassic Park" was officially launched in Taiwan and was officially released in Taiwan during the Double Tenth Festival.

In South Korea, "Jurassic Park" was released earlier, and it was arranged to meet Korean audiences during the Mid-Autumn Festival on the Lunar New Year Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good period in South Korea that is no less than the Spring Festival.

Whether in Taiwan or South Korea, "Jurassic Park" has made all viewers crazy as soon as it was released.

Even those who hate Kang Jianfei cannot say bad things about this movie after watching it.

Kim Yu-jin, known as the national director of South Korea, told reporters after watching "Jurassic Park": "Jurassic Park" is definitely a milestone work that can be recorded in film history, and it shocked me so much that I couldn't sleep all night.Before this, I could not imagine that someone could make such a work.Director Kang Jianfei is the pride of Asians, and he is the artistic genius I admire the most!

Taiwan's China Times also praised: The best science fiction movies, George Lucas's "Star Wars", Steven Spielberg's "ET", and Kang Jianfei's "Jurassic Park", which will be three monuments in the history of science fiction movies.

In the past decade, the top five movies in Taiwan’s annual box office list were basically Hollywood movies.

However, because the new film laws issued by the Taiwan authorities last year restricted a single American movie to be released in Taiwan in at most eight cinemas, resulting in a huge change in the pattern of the Taiwan film market this year.

Last year, several American movies had a box office of nearly 100 million yuan in Taiwan, but this year only one movie "The Sixth Sense Waiting Order" (translated by "Instinct") performed the best, and won more than NT$70 million in three months of release.

The ones that are closely behind are Hong Kong films. Jackie Chan's "Police Story 3" sells more than NT$60 million, and Stephen Chow's "The Deer and the Cauldron" has a combined box office of over 100 million.

This situation has further stimulated Taiwanese film merchants and hospital merchants, all of whom regard Hong Kong films as magic weapons for making money, and even Taiwanese timber merchants and builders have joined the ranks of investing in Hong Kong films.

Three days before Double Ten, "Jurassic Park" premiered in Taipei.

In order to create momentum, not only did celebrities in the Taiwanese film and television industry be invited to participate, but Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, who were filming in Taiwan, were also invited to the scene.

Andy Lau is not the most popular in Hong Kong. He is not at the top in filming or singing, but he is very famous in Taiwan. He has released several Mandarin records and sold hundreds of thousands of them.

So he is the favorite Hong Kong actor of Taiwanese film investors. His pay is not as outrageous as Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan, but the movie starring Andy Lau is extremely box office guaranteed in Taiwan.

Aaron Kwok is slightly inferior, but he has also become popular in the past two years and has won the title of the most popular Hong Kong star in Taiwan the previous year.

Tony Leung was well-known in Taiwan for his film "Fang Fang" a few years ago. The hot sale of "Trueman's World" last year established his position as a popular male star.

The premiere of "Jurassic Park" in Taipei attracted dozens of Taiwanese media from all over the world due to the presence of Tony Leung, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok.

The most tycoon is that the girl group SHE, which is popular in half of Asia, was actually invited to the premiere as a performer. You should know that SHE's appearance fee has exceeded NT$1 million.

Andy Lau, Andy Lau!

City!

SHE!

There were screams and screams everywhere outside the cinema. The momentum was not like the movie premiere. Those who don’t know would think which star was going to hold a concert.

Hou Hsiao-hsien silently walked around the crowd into the cinema. He, a well-known director, was actually ignored. All reporters and movie fans were focused on several stars.

Yang Dechang looked back at the crazy crowd outside. Perhaps thinking of his own "The Guling Street Boy Murder Incident" was so deserted that he couldn't help but sigh: Only Hong Kong films dare to spend money to promote in Taipei like this. When will our local movies start?

The power to turn things around is not strong.Hou Xiaoxian said that his nature is not high.

Both are representative figures of Taiwanese literary and artistic directors. When they directed the cylinder independently, Taiwanese movies were already terminally ill, and then they watched them die step by step.

Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang are very disliked about the Hong Kong films that are now very popular in Taiwan. In addition to the reason for seizing the Taiwanese film market, most Hong Kong films are vulgar and have no connotation at all.

The reason why I agreed to attend the premiere of "Jurassic Park" today is mainly because of Kang Jianfei's name.

Last year, "The World of Truman" won the Golden Horse Awards, and even Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang De-chang had to admit that it was really a good movie that can be watched and tasted repeatedly.

When he walked to the front seat, Hou Hsiao-hsien found Yang Dengkui and Zhu Yanping sitting next to him and said hello: Boss Yang is here too.

Yang Dengkui smiled and said: Mr. Kang's new film is released, so I have to support it no matter how hard it is.

The incident of Yang Dengkui and Kang Jianfei working together to build cinemas in the southern region has been spread throughout the circle, and 6 multi-hall cinemas have been put into use so far.

Zhu Yanping interrupted: I heard that "Jurassic Park" invested nearly NT$2 billion, and sold more than 300 million in Hong Kong.

Yang Dengkui praised: Mr. Kang is such a big deal!

Yang Dechang is different from Hou Hsiao-hsien. Hou Hsiao-hsien is famous and does not care about meat and vegetables. The previous filming of "The Sad City" was invested by Yang Dengkui.

Yang Dechang has been producing independently in recent years, attracting some small investment and earning some government subsidies to live. He has no good feelings for Yang Dengkui, a guy from the gang. He despised him and said in his heart: Kang Jianfeiren is not here, he can't even hear you flattering him.

Two hours later, Yang Dechang was completely silent. After watching the movie, he felt something was in a panic.

Shock comes from the double shock of the senses and the soul!

Is Hong Kong's film technology so high?Yang Dechang swallowed and asked Hou Xiaoxian beside him.

Hou Hsiao-hsien was also amazed: So awesome!You can still see traces of props in "Star Wars". The dinosaurs in "Jurassic" are hard to tell the authenticity, just like returning to prehistoric.

It was not just the two of them. When the first dinosaur appeared on the screen, all the audience in the cinema were shocked and the applause after the end of the film lasted for a long time.

When DreamWorks' "Jurassic Park" was released on Double Ten, its only rival was the Hollywood action movie "The Deadly Weapon 3".

The latter was released half a month earlier than "Jurassic Park", but due to the legal restrictions that can only be screened in eight cinemas, the more episodes of "Jurassic Park" surpassed the box office of "The Deadly Weapon 3" in just 9 days.

Have you seen dinosaurs?

This is the most frequent sentence in Taiwan after the release of "Jurassic Park".

People talking about Velociraptors, Thundersaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex can be seen everywhere on the streets, in schools, and in companies. It is even more considered a backward expression that has not been seen in Jurassic Park.

In the newly emerging southern market, due to the shortage of cinemas, there are often queues to watch movies. Yang Dengkui had to urge the construction period to open the three cinemas that are being renovated in advance.

What is a phenomenal movie?

Phenomenon movies have left the cinema, and the whole society is hotly discussing and pursuing it.

Before this, few people were concerned about dinosaurs, and many people had never heard of the word dinosaurs at all.

After the popularity of "Jurassic Park", the number of books on dinosaurs in bookstores in Taiwan has increased rapidly, including "Dinosaur World", "Jurassic Exploration", "Prehistoric Extinction".

Some experts even appeared on TV variety shows to give audiences popular science explanations about prehistoric creatures.

The most intuitive thing is the toy store. The toys sold in the past were Barbie dolls, Ultraman, etc., but now there are many dinosaur series.

The screening cycle of movies in Taiwan is generally longer than that in Hong Kong. Generally, good-looking movies will be screened for more than two months, and hot-selling movies can even be released for half a year.

In just one month, the cumulative box office of "Jurassic Park" in Taiwan reached NT$50 million, and this is just the beginning.

From October to New Year's Day, the box office of "Jurassic Park" easily exceeded 100 million in Taiwan, and it still maintained a very high attendance rate. It seems that it can be screened for at least another month or two.

With the popularity of "Jurassic Park", Kang Jianfei has once again entered the sight of the Taiwanese public.

A comment from the United Daily News read: The name Kang Jianfei is full of controversy in Taiwan, but I don’t know when his movies will set off a trend in Taiwan every year.You can scold him or question him, but you can never ignore him.This time, he once again challenged our sensitive nerves with "Jurassic Park", and welcoming a uniform and praise...

The media can give praise without any scruples, and the audience can go to the cinema again and again, but the young and old men from the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee have a headache this time.

Since 2003, as long as there is a Chinese dialect in the movie, you can participate in the Golden Horse Awards; after 2010, the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards stipulate that as long as there are 5 Chinese creators, you can compete for the awards even if the main language is not Chinese.

But the qualification for the Golden Horse Awards was not that loose at this time. In Kang Jianfei's version of "Jurassic Park", there are four languages: English, Japanese, Malay and Chinese, but the main language of the film is still English.

The organizers have been discussing whether Jurassic Park should be shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards, and the decision was finally made a week before the shortlist was announced.

Not only did they agree that "Jurassic Park" was shortlisted for this Golden Horse Awards, but the organizers also changed the rules of participation for this movie. The new rules stipulate that as long as the producers have Chinese dialogues (including Chinese dialects) in Chinese-speaking regions (such as mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Singapore), films have Chinese dialogues (including Chinese dialects), and films have more than 8 Chinese creators, they can sign up for the Golden Horse Awards.

Naturally, many local Taiwanese filmmakers oppose this move, believing that the organizer is kneeling down on Hong Kong films and Kang Jianfei.

But, the protest is invalid!

Why has Taiwanese films not only not declined for so many years, but it has a greater influence than before?

One of the big reasons is that Hong Kong films have a growing global influence, which is due to the importance of Hong Kong filmmakers on the Taiwan market, which has led to the great influence of the Golden Horse Awards in the Hong Kong film industry.

The Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong films are mutually supportive. If the Golden Horse Awards want to maintain and improve their influence, they must rely on the participation of Hong Kong films, rather than those Taiwanese art films that no one cares about.

It is true that the judges of the Golden Horse Awards prefer art films. More than half of the Golden Horse trophy awarded every year have been won by art films.

But the embarrassing thing is that the Hong Kong films that attract attention for the Golden Horse Awards are those fewer awards.

In particular, the two awards of Golden Horse Awards, the Best Actress Award, have basically been awarded to Hong Kong movie stars in recent years.

This does not mean that Hong Kong stars have better acting skills than Taiwanese actors, but that Hong Kong stars are more popular with the public and can bring higher attention to the Golden Horse Awards in Asia.

As the most popular Hong Kong movie this year, the Golden Horse Awards cannot turn away "Jurassic Park" out, so it is not easy to modify the selection rules for this.

In the latest list of shortlists released by the Golden Horse Awards, "Jurassic Park" won 9 nominations for: Best Drama, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Art Design, Best Styling Design, Best Recording, and Best Movie Soundtrack.

Before the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was held, Jurassic Park had already won its first prize: the audience voted for the best film.
