1563 [Spring and Autumn Hegemony]

It is April 27th in a blink of an eye, the day of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Since 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts Opera House has been full of people.

Journalists and fans from all walks of life gathered here, looking forward to the grand ceremony.

The Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony has held its seventh session so far, and its influence is gradually expanding. The carnival of a small group of people in the circle has now become a concern throughout Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

Which film company has many shortlisted and won many awards, which star will win the film genius, the film queen, which movie will win the Best Film Award, which director will win the Best Director Award, which martial arts class can win the Best Action Design Award... This is also something that people are paying attention to and talking about.

Therefore, major film companies are paying more and more attention to this award ceremony. From the initial nomination, to the voting of the judges, to the attendance of the award ceremony, everyone is competing for the "Spring and Autumn Period" feeling.

Speaking of competition for dominance, Tianxia Film, as the most powerful film company in Hong Kong, did perform well at this Academy Awards ceremony. Not only were it shortlisted for all awards, but there were more than two nominations for the most valuable Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Picture Nominations, which can be said to be quite high in the odds of winning.

Another giant, Jiahe, performed poorly and was only shortlisted for technical awards such as Best Action Design and Best Movie Editing; New Art City performed much better than Jiahe. The "Dragon and Tiger Heroes" released last year was shortlisted for Best Screenwriter, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Film Awards, which retained a face for it.

Although Debao Pictures has been continuously excluded last year, it also performed well. The movie "The Last Victory" released by the film won the best script, best actor and actress, best director and best film nomination, and it can be said that it performed well.

In addition, Longxiang Pictures, founded by Taiwanese filmmakers, was shortlisted for its works in its first year. The "People's Hero" directed by Er Dongsheng was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress Awards.

Longxiang Film is one of Taiwan's four major private film distributors. It was founded in 70s and 8s and was originally only responsible for the distribution of Western films. Later, Mandarin films became very popular in Taiwan, so they began to transform and specialize in the release of Mandarin films.

Now it probably feels that it makes too little money to release movies only, so it starts to directly invest in making Hong Kong movies. In this way, if the investment and distribution are all included, it will naturally make more money.

And this is also the most worrying thing in summer.

He never wanted to see Taiwanese filmmakers get involved in Hong Kong movies because those filmmakers were too greedy. They invested in movies just to make money and launder money. They would not worry about the market being able to bear it and they would leave quickly. This was how they ruined Taiwanese films at the beginning. Summer did not want to see them messing up the Hong Kong film market again.

Longxiang Pictures' movies were released on Debao Cinema and Good Friend Cinema. Pan Disheng and Zeng Zhiwei gave them the opportunity to land in Hong Kong. In Xia Tian's opinion, these two people were simply Wu Sangui in the late Ming Dynasty.

...

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, stars, directors, bosses, filmmakers, etc. began to appear at the door of the opera house, which caused screams from the media and fans.

Because the Academy Awards are still held by "Movie Biweekly", the cost is quite limited, so there is no red carpet preparation. Of course, there is no need to be because of who walks the red carpet first, who walks the red carpet later, who walks the red carpet last, and who walks the red carpet in terms of seniority, which makes people less right and wrong. Of course, there are also many less highlights.

Many celebrities dress up carefully for today's grand ceremony, but unfortunately there is no red carpet, so it is a pity that they cannot present their beauty well.

In summer, I came to the opera house by myself.

Wang Xiaoxian, who was supposed to accompany him, is still filming "Fate Express" in the United States, and she has not been shortlisted for the film this time, so she will not come back to participate in the Academy Awards.

Xia Tian could have found other beauties to accompany him, but in the Academy Awards ceremony, various media gathered in public, and in full view of everyone, he didn't want to become a target because of scandals.

However, despite the lack of beautiful women to accompany her, the appearance of summer still caused a great sensation.

All the media pointed the camera at him, and the fans present also made earth-shaking cheers, making Xia Tian the focus of the venue. The other filmmakers who were still at the door all became set boards in an instant.

Xia Tian smiled and waved to everyone, while slowly entering the opera house.

"Mr. Xia", "Boss"

When everyone in the opera house saw Xia Tian, ​​they rushed forward to greet him.

Xia Tian smiled and shook hands one by one.

"Mr. Xia, congratulations. Tianxia Pictures won so many awards this time, and it will definitely be a great harvest." Deng Guangrong smiled at Xia Tian.

"Mr. Deng, please be polite." Xia Tian smiled.

In fact, Deng Guangrong's Shadow Jie also had the potential to win awards, but unfortunately, Wang Jiawei, who should have belonged to it, is now at Tianxia Pictures. Therefore, it is probably very difficult for Shadow Jie to win awards.

"By the way, Mr. Xia, I heard you are going to the Cannes Film Festival in two months?" Deng Guangrong asked with a smile again.

"Not bad." Xia Tian nodded, "Why, Mr. Deng, are you interested in participating?"

"I wish to follow the horse's tail." Deng Guangrong immediately smiled.

If he was attending the Cannes Film Festival himself, he would not even be able to splash a splash of water. Because Hong Kong films have no influence in the international arena, and Ying Zhijie's films are not particularly outstanding, so it is even more difficult to make a name for themselves at the Cannes Film Festival.

But it’s different from summer. He is a world-renowned filmmaker and will definitely be sought after when he goes to the Cannes Film Festival. At that time, he can also benefit from it when he is with him.

"Okay, let's go together then." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Xia for your support!" Deng Guangrong said happily when he heard this.

...

After Deng Guangrong left, filmmakers such as Huang Baiming, Wu Siyuan, Chen Yangqi also came to say hello to Xia Tian, ​​and also expressed their idea of ​​hoping to go to the Cannes Film Festival with Xia Tian.

The news that it sold $30 million at the Berlin Film Festival in the summer has been like growing legs these days, and it has been well known to everyone. Hong Kong filmmakers who heard this news feel like they have grass growing in their hearts, and they are in a mess.

They all want to make this money, but they know their weight. In Southeast Asia, they are quite famous. But when they leave Southeast Asia and go to the international stage, who recognizes them? If they want to sell the movie, who is willing to buy it?

So they all want to enjoy the summer and go to Cannes with him.

Summer is a convenient door for this, and everyone who wants to participate will be taken in.

Because he knows the reason why everyone is getting high in fire. The more Hong Kong filmmakers participate in the international stage, the more Hong Kong films will be known to them and the greater the influence they have on the international stage.

Just as everyone was in high spirits and had a happy chat, they suddenly felt a low pressure coming, making everyone speechless.

Xia Tian was strange. When he turned his head, he saw Zeng Zhiwei standing alone, with no one talking to him, and it looked quite desolate.

Zeng Zhiwei was originally the most popular in the circle. He had been at Shaw Brothers. He was the first to be a dragon and tiger martial artist with Liu Jialiang's Liu family class. Later, he was with Hong Jingbao. Then he went to Xinyi City to be the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City. Later, he returned to Jiahe to be the Five Fortune Star. He also went to the Taiwanese film industry for a while and established his own friend...

A person can wander freely between the three major film companies, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is highly praised everywhere. It can be said that Tsang Chi-wei is the most versatile figure in the Hong Kong film industry, with his friends everywhere.

But now, his situation is a bit miserable. Xinyi City, Jiahe, and Tianxia Pictures all regard him as their enemies, and even their filmmakers are alienated from him.

Zeng Zhiwei's own good friend is now facing a business crisis. Huang Yulang, who was invested in him before, is now a clay Buddha crossing the river and has no time to take care of himself and has no money to film for him.

He had no money to film, and the directors, actors, screenwriters, etc. who had followed him all fell into pieces and found ways to find ways. The theaters he had purchased before were sold out by Huang Yulang and cashed out.

So now, Zeng Zhiwei has no money, no one, and no friends, and he has gone from a person who originally had friends all over the world to a real lonely man. Even participating in this Golden Star Awards, he is alone, and there is not even a person to say hello to him. It is quite pitiful.

But in Xia Tian's opinion, this is something that pitiful people must have hate.

Everything is blamed for Zeng Zhiwei for being too greedy. In fact, he is quite popular in both New Art City and Jiahe. He can act and film, and he makes a lot of money. Unfortunately, he is always not satisfied and always hopes to create a pool of his own. For this reason, he does not hesitate to introduce Taiwanese funds, which will disrupt the Hong Kong film industry.

It can be said that in the decline of Hong Kong films in the previous life, Tsang Chi-wei must take responsibility.

Therefore, he is unlucky now, which is very good in summer. He is unlucky alone, better than all Hong Kong filmmakers who accompany him. The family is crying better than the people who cry all the way.
