0195 [Closing and take-off]
"The one who won the best actor was Liang Chaowei."
Crazy.
Applause was everywhere.
Liu Dehua also laughed, clapped her hands, and hugged Liang Chaowei.
The result of the Golden Horse Awards winners competition has been announced, and Liang Chaowei won a game back, a heavyweight one. This is a huge blow to Liu Dehua himself and his fans, but there is also an Academy Awards that can be expected.
After the Best Actor, it is at the end of the award ceremony and the most important award, the Best Drama.
"The best drama films are shortlisted... "Beautiful Time", Zhang Zuoji Film Studio Co., Ltd.... "There is a Hollywood Life in Hong Kong". Nicetop-independent-ltd.... "Man Forty", Xinghao Film Co., Ltd.... "The Third Update" and applau color-pictures-ltd.... "Infernal Affairs", Universal Film Company."
Although "Infernal Affairs" is a Dandelion Investment, the project was established in Hong Kong, and the production company is Universal Film Company, which can only be submitted by Universal.
“The one who won the best drama is…”
Only breathing can be heard at the Golden Horse Awards.
All the viewers in front of the TV were anxiously looking forward.
Wan Xiaohu even squinted his eyes and did not move.
Whether it is the best director or the best actor, they are all individual awards, and they focus more on personal fields. Only the best drama film is a collective affirmation, an affirmation of the movie, and the most heavyweight award. Movies are the art of directors. Can a director create this art well? The best drama film is affirmation.
"The one who won the best drama is..." The award presenter paused for a while, and then continued to recite, "Infernal Affairs. Congratulations to "Infernal Affairs", congratulations to Wan Xiaohu, and congratulations to Universal Film Company."
Crazy.
Wan Xiaohu waved his fist hard.
"Infernal Affairs" won a matching award, and Wan Xiaohu's title of master is finally no longer so much water.
Wan Xiaohu was not present, and the boss of Universal World Lin Xiaoming was one of the producers. He naturally came to the stage to receive the award.
Lin Xiaoming was wearing a suit and his hair was shiny: "I really feel mixed feelings when I stood here to win the award. Wan Xiaohu is the youngest, most talented and courageous director I have ever seen. Now that Hong Kong movies are at a very dangerous moment, we Hong Kong people should all show courage to fight such a tough battle. "Infernal Affairs" has made a good start, and it provides a way for Hong Kong movies. We are not without stories, not without audiences, we all have them. The key is that you must know how to take and how to shoot! We will shoot "Infernal Affairs" into a series like "The Godfather", thank you!"
Amid the applause, the 39th Golden Horse Awards closed.
The next day, there was a hustle and bustle in the media.
"The seven major awards of Infernal Affairs swept the Golden Horse Awards."
"The youngest best director in history Wan Xiaohu!"
"Liang Chaowei successfully broke through. Liu Dehua lost his old opponent."
"Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Director, "Infernal Affairs" has become a new height for Hong Kong films."
"The award ceremony is bleak. Mainland filmmakers are collectively absent."
"The Golden Horse Awards were occupied by Hong Kong and mainland films, and Taiwanese films were declared dead."
"Infernal Affairs became the big winner last night, but it is hard to hide the declining trend of Chinese-language films."
"Wan Xiaohu is absent from the best director, or due to political factors."
"The Golden Horse Awards staged two Infernal Affairs dramas, one won the award "Infernal Affairs", and the other went to operate Infernal Affairs in secret. The 39th year award. Who is killing it?"
"Infernal Affairs" is naturally highly publicized, and is praised or criticized in all kinds of ways. On the other hand, the absence of mainland filmmakers, especially Wan Xiaohu, who won the best director, did not go to the scene to receive the awards on site, which also became the focus of media pursuit.
Some reporters also revealed that Wan Xiaohu had already prepared in Hong Kong and flew to Kaohsiung to win the awards, but there was a temporary change and then he turned around. Not only Wan Xiaohu, Liu Ye, Qin Hailu, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun and others all avoided the award ceremony because of some factors.
Obviously, it is definitely a political factor that can affect the collective retreat of mainland filmmakers.
As soon as the Golden Horse Awards ended, Wan Xiaohu was blocked by countless reporters in the capital. Now the reporters know the location of Dandelion Film Company.
Then all kinds of problems came overwhelmingly, but most of them were still around why they were absent.
Wan Xiaohu did not make excuses like others for this reason, and there was no explanation at all at first. When the reporter asked about this today, Wan Xiaohu laughed: "I am very happy to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, which is a recognition of me. As for why I missed the Golden Horse Award, I can only say that if the award ceremony became a political show, it would be boring. Why would I go?"
"Well, what do you mean is that the Golden Horse Awards become a political tool?"
"When I was looking for me in the Golden Horse Awards, I said that some guys were going to show on the spot. You know, we filmmakers don't like to get involved in politics, so we naturally have to turn around and leave. But later the Golden Horse Awards Executive Committee was quite strong and refused. This shows the integrity of our filmmakers, which is very good."
"Since you have refused, why haven't you been to the scene?"
"It's like an apple. The Golden Horse Awards ceremony is an apple. You originally liked to eat apples, but suddenly, you saw a maggot on the apple, which was disgusting. So even if you bounced the maggot off, would you still want to eat this apple? If you want to eat it, you can only change to an apple."
Wan Xiaohu unscrupulously mocked Ah Bian and others. He always despised those who were making independent. He was not afraid of offending these birds. He was in mainland China and not Taiwan. He would scold him if he wanted to. There was no need to hide it. Anyway, he won the Best Director and Best Film. There was no regret for him. At worst, he would not participate in the Golden Horse Awards in the future.
This is true. His words soon came to the newspapers and spread to Taiwan. It caused a stir in Taiwan and only stopped in Taiwan. It is said that the Taiwanese authorities angrily said they wanted to ban Wan Xiaohu.
But, who cares?
What's more, there are a group of Taiwanese filmmakers who agree with Wan Xiaohu's words. When politics begins to get involved in the Golden Horse Awards, the final glory of this Taiwanese film is not far from death.
This is just an episode. After Wan Xiaohu said these words, he quickly forgot about it.
He now holds the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, so he should not live too proudly. He occasionally cares about the progress of several movies, or asks about the progress of several TV series, and then directs "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", conceives "The Ming Yue of Qin", and writes the movie script when he has free time.
...
Time is approaching the end of November. Good news comes one by one.
First, a wholly owned Dandelion, registered in the British Virgin Islands, was established as an offshore company called Tiger Reya International Investment Company. The company has a registered capital of US$30 million, and its first business was to acquire a small film company located in the coastal city of Santa Monica, not far from Hollywood.
The film company is called sasha-entertainment, which is translated as Sasha Entertainment. It was established in 1999 and its business scope is film and television production and distribution. However, since its establishment, the company has never filmed a movie and TV series, nor has it been released by a movie and TV series.
Its business is just for two neighbors, Lionsgate Films and Peak Entertainment, which produces movie posters and DVD packaging designs, and of course, sells a little DVD by the way. As the agent of the Tiger Reya, an American professional manager, James Derek, appeared with a million dollar check.
The owner of Sasha Entertainment immediately packed the company out and left Santa Monica with a million dollars.
With an American entertainment company, Wan Xiaohu has many ideas, and he has a place to use it.
The second good news is that Dandelion has made some progress when it comes to Jiahe. Although Zou Wenhuai has no intention of selling the company, it is indeed difficult for Jiahe to survive recently. Zou Wenhuai has to decide to sell a batch of about 25% of the shares. He originally planned to sell it to Superman Li Ka-shing and Shell King Chen Guoqiang, with Dandelion participating. Zou Wenhuai is more inclined to cooperate with Dandelion.
After all, Superman and Shell King are both capitalists, not filmmakers, they only seek profits and do not talk about art. Zou Wenhuai has been working in movies all his life and has a deep affection for the film industry. He hopes that Jiahe is not only a tool of capital, but also a kingdom of movies.
In the end, the two parties reached a preliminary agreement that Dandelion will acquire 24.68% of Jiahe shares in Zou Wenhuai for HK$163.5 million, becoming Jiahe's second largest shareholder. At the next shareholders' meeting, we will raise our hands to vote whether this plan can be passed. However, Zou Wenhuai holds absolute shares in Jiahe, which is just a routine meeting of a listed company.
The third one is not good news, but normal news is that the animation studio prepared by Wan Xiaohu has been established and named Abao Animation Studio. No one knows why Wan Xiaohu wanted to give such a naive name as "Abao", only Wan Xiaohu himself knows it.
Many people knew in advance that Wan Xiaohu was going to shoot cartoons, so as soon as Abao Animation Studio was established, it attracted a large number of animation practitioners to apply for employment. Finally, after screening, a 30-person Xiyangyang animation team and a 50-person Qinshi animation team were officially ready.
"The Ming Yue of Qin" is quite huge. I don't want to start writing this year, but I just want to write the story outline. The story of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is simple and straightforward. Wan Xiaohu explains the style and content and can start writing immediately.
...
"This is how the story is filmed. Big Big Wolf can never catch a sheep, but he is always confident, optimistic, humorous, and a good man. Big Big Wolf loves beauty and tigress, especially for being a skilled pan..." Wan Xiaohu is a beginner in filming cartoons.
However, he knew how to use people, so he specially invited an art director Zhao Chongbang from Hong Kong to serve as the art director and deputy director of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". Zhao Chongbang is the director of several Pleasant Goat movies in the future. Wan Xiaohu himself doesn't want to make cartoons all his life. Now he has to find a candidate for the cartoon who can succeed in the future.
"Old Zhao, follow this style. You can unify the various departments. The scripts for the first few episodes have been prepared. I will take someone to create them. I will discuss the subsequent plot with Huang Weijian and the others."
"OK."
Wan Xiaohu immediately found Huang Weijian and began to discuss the plot with the screenwriter team.
Huang Weijian is not an employee of Abao Animation Studio, but a cooperative unit. The chief screenwriter of a well-known creative team in Yangcheng, "Qiuqi Creation Studio". Abao Animation Studio contracted the screenwriter task to Qiuqi Creation Studio. At the same time, Wan Xiaohu personally injected more than 2 million yuan and obtained half of the studio's shares.
Directing animations and directing live-action movies are completely different ways. The animation director is the leader of the entire animation production group.
As an animation director, Wan Xiaohu doesn't need to draw every picture himself. Although he has learned fine arts, it is not bad for sketching and fine brushwork. What he needs to do is to grasp the overall situation and make clear instructions and requirements for role setting, painting supervision, voice actor, audio supervision, etc.
Strictly speaking, like a film director, they lead a team to complete the creation process of a work.
As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to complete the transformation of your identity.
In this way, "Infernal Affairs" ended at the Golden Horse Awards, and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" began to take off in the hands of Wan Xiaohu. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
