"Whoosh!"
There was sparse applause, and everyone except those on the left looked on indifferently.
Because this person is so annoying!
From last year to this year, he almost trolled the Hong Kong film industry, including Shaw Run Run, Zou Wenhuai, martial arts masters and tea masters.
Zhong Chuhong was sitting in the "Hu Yue Story" team, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the guy on the stage: He looks pretty good in a suit! He also wears a pair of glasses, looking like a gentle scum.
It would be a pity if a talented person is ugly.
Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng became nervous and muttered: "Don't talk about politics, don't talk about left and right!"
The award ceremony was mixed with political factors and changed instantly. For example, the Berlin Film Festival offended the socialist camp led by the Soviet Union and had to involve Chinese films; and the Golden Horse Awards in later generations were abolished...
Of course, Chen Qi himself did not want to talk about politics.
Otherwise, no one would dare to come, and the award might not be held. What he wanted to say was another theme.
"Thank you! Thank you to the organizer for awarding this award to "Tai Chi"..."
He said a few polite words, then changed his tone and said: "I know that when I stand on the stage, everyone wants to knock me down and offend too many people, but what I tell is all the truth.
Some people don't like to hear it, and there's nothing you can do if you don't like it, because you can't refute it.
Just like "Tai Chi", it sold 5 million US dollars in copyright fees overseas last year, which is close to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Which one can compare?
Of course, I’m not showing off, I just want to say that the overall box office growth this year is far higher than last year. Do you think it’s market expansion? Yes, there is indeed some expansion, but the main reason is that ticket prices have increased. Hong Kong has a population of 5 million, and the market size is
Here, no matter how high it is, how can it be so high?
There are a large number of high-quality film talents here, with foundations, connections, and nascent industries. Don’t always focus on East Asia and Southeast Asia. Be more ambitious and look at Europe and the United States!
In today's Hong Kong film industry, only Boss Shao and Boss Zou have the courage to go overseas. Unfortunately, the films they made are not right and the success is too bad. Cheng Long is actually the most qualified and is not here today... Huh? Mr. Hong Jinbao, you can do it too
oh……"
Bad luck! Why are you mentioning me?
Fortunately, there was no live TV and no camera facing him, so Hong Jinbao was not too panicked, but he also did not want to look at him, so he deliberately turned away and turned a deaf ear.
"..."
Chen Qi, on the other hand, glanced around the stage and backed away wherever he went, not wanting to be called out.
He smiled and declared:
"In May, we will have a new film "Orphan" specifically targeted at the US market to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. It will be released in the second half of the year. You can pay attention to it.
We are rooted in Hong Kong, looking overseas, and are committed to entering Europe and the United States to create the prestige of Chinese-language films! We also welcome filmmakers with the same ambition to come and cooperate, and work together to seize the American market!"
"Whoosh!"
The applause was a little louder than before, and everyone was really intrigued by him. What does it mean to specifically target the American market?
Calculating the time, March and May are coming soon now, we will know then.
If Hong Kong filmmakers are ambitious, they do have a point. If they are far-sighted, they are looking down upon them. I have never thought about entering Europe and the United States, but their characteristic is their charlatanism. What is charlatanism? They are daring to do things and heavy on profits.
.
As long as someone takes the lead and succeeds, groups of others will surely follow.
If Chen Qi said, I want to take the first place in the Hong Kong box office of the year! That would be meaningless. Feng Shui takes turns and there is a first place every year.
But he just said, go grab the American market!
Everyone can't help but look forward to this...
…………
The early Academy Awards did not have a fixed trophy style. The first trophy was a Y-shaped figure with open hands. From the 10th Academy Awards, it became the one we are most familiar with: a goddess wearing film clothes, holding high a silver plate.
Pearl.
Since the content is too small, there is no song and dance performance, so it will be over in a while.
I don't know what "Film Fortnightly" thought. Maybe it was following the closing ceremony of European film festivals and actually showed an American movie "The French Lieutenant's Woman" after the awards.
Who wants to see this stuff?
Those who showed respect continued to sit, while those who did not show respect stood up and ran away.
Chen Qi didn't like to watch either and yawned continuously. Seeing that Qiu Shuzhen next to him was even sleepier and her eyes were closed, he reached out and pinched her nose.
"Uh-huh……"
Qiu Shuzhen suddenly woke up, pushed his hand away and complained: "Master, why do you put such a thing?"
"As cultural people, let us educate and educate you."
"But I don't want to see it. How about we sneak away?"
"There will be a reception dinner later, and it will be full of delicious food. Are you sure you want the dog to sneak away?"
"Ugh!"
Qiu Shuzhen struggled for a while and leaned back: "Then I'd better wait."
Suddenly he stood up and said, "Don't pinch my nose!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and leaned closer to him, as if he felt safe this way.
Chen Qi was very bored. He chatted with Liang Jiahui and others for a while, then took a break, and then looked around again. There were about a third fewer guests, and Hong Jinbao was still sitting there unexpectedly.
This group of people should say it or not, but they do have a sense of loyalty.
Continuing to watch, she saw Zhong Chuhong again, sitting boredly in a beautiful dress. Next to her were Zhou Runfa, Xu Anhua and others. She noticed Chen Qi's gaze and made a face at him.
"oops!"
"Xiayu Fanghong, Xianzhen Minxin...I know them both now, huh? Aren't these the big and small red beans?"
Zhong Chuhong's name in "Across the World" is Hongdou, and Qiu Shuzhen's name in "The Five New Shaolin Patriarchs" is also called Hongdou.
…………
At 9 o'clock, the annoying movie finally ended.
The organizer was poor, so the reception dinner was held in the restaurant of the Art Center. It was a buffet style, but there were also some steaks, barbecues, seafood, desserts, red wine, etc., which was not too shabby.
"Do you want this?"
"Yes! Cut a piece for me, I want the big one!"
"Cut two, clip two!"
Zhong Chuhong took Qiu Shuzhen to eat, and she seemed to have eaten every plate. She took two pieces of dessert, one for each person, and stuffed them into her mouth at the same time. At the same time, her eyes shone: "Wow, it's delicious!"
There was cream left in the corner of Qiu Shuzhen's mouth, she wiped it casually and said: "Sister Ah Hong, can you pack it up?"
"How to fight here?"
Zhong Chuhong looked around, and she was still very tempted, and whispered: "It's okay if we sneak some secretly, just don't let anyone find out, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
"Do you think you are not ashamed now?"
Chen Qi intervened coldly and said: "This is a dinner party. Although it is not of high standard, it is also a dinner party. It has a bit of image, okay?"
"Is image as important as filling the stomach?" Zhong Chuhong asked.
"That's right, I'm a kid, why do I need an image?"
Qiu Shuzhen also agreed and wanted to continue eating, but he pulled her back and said, "It's too late. I'll take you home later."
"Ah? I want to eat more...I want to stay a little longer!"
"I'll buy you some midnight snacks to take back." Chen Qi was helpless.
"Okay, okay!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuzhen put down the plate obediently, and Chen Qi said again: "Whether you want to come with us or not, we are all welcome."
"Okay, who wouldn't take a seat if there is a car!" Zhong Chuhong nodded.
"Then meet downstairs at 10 o'clock. I won't call you."
After Chen Qi finished his instructions, he grabbed a glass of wine and walked towards Hong Jinbao who was not far away.
Chapter completed!
