I just want to be an actor

Chapter 123 Sir, times have changed!
Zhou Sen originally thought that a movie award is still a movie award after all, so he would respect the filmmakers participating in the movie award more or less.

A domestically popular film like "Embroidered Spring Knife" should more or less be able to get some nominations and win one or two awards.

What's more, as far as the list of this year's Academy Awards is concerned, there are not many movies that can compete head-on with "Embroidered Spring Knife". If none of them win any awards, it would be too ridiculous.No matter how bad it is, it should still make a fuss about some of the most marginal awards, such as giving "Xiu Chun Knife" a best visual effect award.

But Zhou Sen found that he had overestimated the virtues of the Academy Awards.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" was announced not to be nominated for the Academy Awards.

The reason is that in the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife", the number of actors and staff members from Hong Kong Island is not more than half of the main creative personnel. This is a mainland movie through and through, not a Hong Kong Island movie.

It was also this time that Zhou Sen learned about the ins and outs of the Academy Awards.

Only Hong Kong films and co-productions can be nominated for the Academy Awards. However, popular classic martial arts films like "Xiu Chun Knife" don't even have a chance to be nominated.The previous nominations were more like playing "Xiu Chun Knife". After sending the nomination list to Lu Yang, he sent an email to tell Lu Yang that he was sorry. This time it was a statistical error. I originally thought that so and so in the crew was Hong Kong Island. After verification, it was found that the place of birth was not correct, so the nominations for "Xiu Chun Knife" were cancelled.

It's not like something a big film award could do.

But the fact is that they just did it. It looked like they were making fun of "Xiu Chun Dao" and deliberately teasing Lu Yang and the others.

In the end, relying on Zhang Zhen's relationship on Hong Kong Island, he found a friend to inquire about the situation a little bit, and only then did he know what he wanted to do with the award.

It's outrageous to say.

Moreover, the film that was teased by the Hong Kong Island Awards this time is not limited to "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Two other domestic films that performed very well this year, "The Country" and "Love Lost," also received nominations for the Academy Awards, but they also received emails on the same day and were informed that the nominations were cancelled.

It seems that by doing this, the Hong Kong Film Awards can truly put mainland films in a bad light.

And they also had a scheming heart, and the three films they chose, "The Embroidered Spring Knife", "The Surrounding Country", and "Love Lost", were all outstanding films made by new directors from the mainland.In this way, they will not offend the veteran directors and film crews with backgrounds in the mainland, and they will be able to show their prestige.

For this kind of operation of the Academy Awards.

After thinking for three seconds, Lu Yang and Zhou Sen made the same evaluation at the same time.

idiot!
The Golden Statue Award is not worthy of being called a treasure.

Don’t they have any clues in their own minds?
The attention and influence of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards has been declining rapidly with the end of the Hong Kong film, and now it is really getting worse and declining year by year. Even Lu Yang's husky knows this.

Although the Golden Statue Award was so brilliant that it was called the "Chinese Oscar", it used to have a high gold content and was regarded as one of the three top awards in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But that was when Hong Kong Island films entered a prosperous period, and after a bunch of so-called professional organizations such as the Hong Kong Island Filmmakers, Directors Association, and Screenwriters Association were established one after another, the Golden Statue Awards really won a place in the Chinese film industry. began to gain authority.

But the limitation of the Academy Awards lies in the unwritten unspoken rules it set from the nomination list: [Hong Kong Island actors and staff must account for more than half of the main creative personnel].

In the 90s, when commercial films on Hong Kong Island flourished, there would be no problem with this rule.

After all, at that time, the great directors in mainland China were all making local-style literary films there, and their goal was to go to the three major European film festivals to win awards.Everyone wants to be recognized by the international film industry, not by the Chinese-language film industry that is self-loved by the Hong Kong Island enclosure.

As for the remaining directors who played commercial films at that time, directors from Hong Kong Island were the better ones.

Even for the actors, the most well-known actors in the mainland at that time may not have as much box office influence as the superstars on Hong Kong Island.

But when is it now?
Sir, times have changed!
Today's Hong Kong Island films have declined to such an extent that groups of people have to go to the mainland to find cooperation and be selected.

And even so, big-name mainland directors may not necessarily like those so-called Hong Kong superstars because their Mandarin is not very good.Therefore, many Hong Kong celebrities have begun to practice Mandarin more intensively.

Because after entering the new millennium, mainland China officially opened up the introduction of Hollywood movies on a large scale.

Hollywood blockbusters are raging crazily all over the world. In front of Hollywood blockbusters, the commercialization of Hong Kong Island films has been completely defeated, and there is no way to fight back.

And this also became the stage when the mainland film market took off. A large number of domestic directors explored and learned from this chaotic commercial film market to find a model suitable for the atmosphere of mainland commercial films. Mainland commercial films began to emerge and show their edge.

But even so, the Hong Kong Island Awards are still stubborn.

I have restricted my scope to the condition that more than half of Hong Kong citizens are from Hong Kong. This has resulted in many domestic top commercial films not even being shortlisted, and the most important and most solid Golden Image Award winner has not been awarded to the mainland for so many years. Actor too.But whether it's the crew of these top commercial films or those mainland actors, they don't care about the Academy Award at all.

After all, the box office says it all.

These narrow-minded Hong Kong filmmakers are so unwilling to face the rise of mainland movies, and feel that the rise of the mainland is taking food from their jobs.

But to be honest, are they worthy?

As for those Hong Kong Island filmmakers, are they worthy?
Now that they just arrived at the Academy Awards, do they deserve it?

And after Lu Yang and the others received the email from the Academy Awards, they felt that the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards also made a public statement in the news interview there.

They are the first to release the news that the Academy Awards canceled the nominations of three mainland films, and they still have to make a fuss.

"The Hong Kong Film Awards are for Hong Kong-produced films, and it is absolutely impossible to relax geographical restrictions!"

Zhou Sen's first reaction after reading the report was.

Damn it, uncle, do your family members know that you are so stubborn?
