The fewer words, the bigger the matter!
Early today (August 7), the China Film News posted a sentence on its WeChat public account :
State Film Bureau news, suspended mainland films and personnel to participate in the 56th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in 2019 .
Subsequently, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV News and other media also forwarded the news one after another, and the news hit the entire network.
During the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, the "Golden Horse Award" we often call will be announced. This award is also called "Chinese" along with "Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award" and "Hong Kong Film Awards" (Hong Kong Film Awards, HKFA) Three major movie awards". Official information shows that the Golden Horse Award has been held 55 times since its establishment in 1962.
It is understood that this year's 56th Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held in Taipei, China on November 23. The shortlist will be announced on October 1, and all members of the jury will be announced.
It is worth noting that in June this year, the Chinese Film Association and the Xiamen Municipal People’s Government jointly held a press conference in Shanghai to announce that the 28th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will be held in Xiamen from November 19 to 23. ——It just happened to be "" with the Golden Horse Awards. Many films of
have previously stated that they will not participate in this year’s Golden Horse Awards
contact recent news, it is not difficult to feel a kind of tension.
On July 31, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued on its official website the " Announcement of the Cross-Strait Tourism Exchange Association on the suspension of the pilot trip of mainland residents to Taiwan for individual travel", stating that it has decided to suspend in 47 cities on the mainland from August 1, 2019. Residents go to Taiwan as a pilot for individual travel. At the time, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the DPP authorities continued to promote "Taiwan independence" activities, continuously incited hostility towards the mainland and incited cross-strait confrontation, which severely undermined the basis and conditions for mainland residents to go to Taiwan for individual travel trials.
On the other hand, some netizens previously discovered that many films this year have not signed up for the Golden Horse Awards. Image source:

Last year, Zhang Yimou won the Golden Horse Best Director Award for "Shadow". In February of this year, Zhang Yimou's new work "One Second" retired at the Berlin Film Festival on the grounds of "technical problems", causing speculation. Regarding whether will participate in the 56th Golden Horse Awards at the annual meeting, Zhang Yimou's studio only briefly stated in response to the media, "Hello, no." The
movie "The Party at Southern Station" is directed by Diao Yinan, Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan, Wan Qian, Qi Dao, Zhang Yicong and others starred. The film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Wang Jingchun and Yongmei, the leading actors and actresses of the
movie "Long Forever", both won the Best Actor and Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival. The starring also included Qi Xi, Wang Yuan, Du Jiang, Ali Ya, Xu Cheng, Li Jingjing, Zhao Yan Guozhang Wait.

According to Taiwan media reports, the official announcement of the Golden Horse Film Festival shows that a total of 148 feature films at the 56th Golden Horse Awards in 2019 participated in the registration. This number is compared with 228 in 2018 and 2017 With 202 in 2016 and 181 in 2016, is the least in the past four years.
So, without the participation of the Golden Horse Awards by mainland filmmakers, can the scene become "lively"? The
data can explain something. Statistics show that among the 23 film awards and individual awards at the Golden Horse Awards last year, 6 mainland films won 16 awards, accounting for about 61% ; 6 Taiwan regional films won 8 awards accounting for only 34% ; 1 Hong Kong film won 1 award, accounting for 4%. Even if we don't look at the data, we may be able to infer one or two things from the embarrassing smile of the Golden Horse Award Executive Committee Chairman Li An after last year's "speech storm "
"Speech storm " at the Golden Horse Awards last year
In November 2018, at the 55th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Taiwan young female director Fu Yu's documentary "Our youth in Taiwan " won Best periodVideo Award. However, when she delivered her acceptance speech, she actually stated, “I hope that one day our country (Note: China Taiwan province) can be regarded as a truly independent individual. This is my biggest wish when I was born as a Taiwan person. "
's remarks caused dissatisfaction among mainland actors Gong Li, Duan Yihong and others. Gong Li, who was originally scheduled to give out the best picture at last, did not go to the stage with Li Ang to present the award. On the stage, Li Ang also asked: "Gong Li, won't you come up and give it with me?"

During the rapid heating up of things, someone from the Taiwan authorities played a role in adding fuel to the fire. Zheng Lijun, the "Minister of Culture" of Taiwan , supported Fu Yu that night, and a spokesperson of the "Executive Yuan" of Taiwan also participated in the debate, teasing the mainland actor who spoke after Fu Yu's speech.
Li Ang told the media afterwards that hopes to discuss art in terms of art, and does not want any political incidents or other things to interfere. Please show respect to the filmmakers.
The Global Times commented at the time that: Taiwan polls during this period are not good for the DPP. The original "nine-in-one" elections were Taiwan local elections, which did not involve cross-strait issues, but the Taiwan authorities could not find it. In the case of more favorable issues, the slogans involving both sides of the strait have already been re-extracted. The Taiwan authorities have also formally slandered the mainland’s interference in and Taiwan elections in an unprecedented way. Now that Fu Yu’s matter has occurred, it has even used it as a “great opportunity”.
......
In short, we believe that Fu Yu's speech at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was wrong, which would damage the influence of the Golden Horse Awards and, in turn, the influence of Taiwan in Greater China.
At the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council on November 28 last year, the spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that the Golden Horse Award is a platform for filmmakers on both sides of the strait to communicate and should be cherished by compatriots on both sides of the strait. Some political forces use cross-strait film exchange activities to issue "Taiwan independence" remarks and create political disturbances. This kind of behavior is unpopular. I hope that the film and television circles and related parties on both sides of the strait will jointly resist.
Golden Horse Awards: was once the vane of Chinese films.
Golden Horse Awards was established in 1962 and has a history of more than half a century. It is to promote the film production of in Taiwan and and to praise filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to Chinese film culture. Established, there are no geographical restrictions in the selection criteria, and the selection targets are for all Chinese-language films and Chinese filmmakers.
In the 1960s, influenced by Hong Kong movies, Taiwan became popular in martial arts and romance films, and Hong Kong films and Hong Kong stars also entered the Golden Horse Awards.

In the 1980s, , Taiwan and films rose. Hou Xiaoxian, Yang Dechang, and Li An have appeared one after another. These new directors, , pay attention to the real society of , and pay attention to families and individuals in the context of ’s great historical background, and are committed to making "another movie different from commercial movies".
As a result, art and humanities have become the characteristics of the Golden Horse Awards and distinguish them from the commercial entertainment of Hong Kong films. Nowadays, almost all the "actors" we can expect have won the Golden Horse Award, and the Golden Horse Award is also known as the vane of Chinese films.
People's Daily Online once commented: The Golden Horse Awards does not take the box office as a selection consideration, but instead provides a stage for Chinese literature and art films. Many excellent Chinese-language films and outstanding film workers have been rewarded, and they have become the most lofty indicators of honor in the production of Chinese-language films.

More than 10 years ago, the local color of the Golden Horse Award was quite strong, and it was even in an embarrassing position because of its emphasis on encouraging Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. But looking at the list of winners in recent years, we can see that more and more outstanding films from mainland China have won the Golden Horse Awards.
For example, last year's Golden Horse Awards, mainland films won a big win. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" successively won the Best Actor, Best New Director and Best Original Screenplay. However, it was at last year’s awards ceremony that the aforementioned "speech Storm ". The scene fell into silence, Duan Yihong's face was cold, Li Ang's face was embarrassed, Gong Li refused to come to the stage to award the award.
Originally, if it weren’t for Li Ang’s invitation to Gong Li, Gong Li would not have participated in last year’s Golden Horse Awards.
In 2014, Gong Li starred in "Return." "Best actress in the Golden Horse Award contest, but she ended up with a single vote. In an interview with reporters, she said tactfully: "I think a good film festival should be a fair competition. Respect, this is very important. "
her agent is even more outspoken, "Thanks to the Golden Horse Awards for the opportunity, let us understand how an unprofessional film festival is held, and an unfair film festival will make all the artists look down upon."
Of course, many moments that happened during the Golden Horse Awards are also worthy of recollection . For example, at the 50th Golden Horse Awards ceremony in 2013, something like this happened:
The hosts of the Golden Horse Awards were Huang Bo and Zheng Yuling. As soon as she came up, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Zheng Yuling joked with Huang Bo, saying how Huang Bo’s hair was blown crooked, was it because it was windy outside?
Huang Bo responded quickly and replied, “This is an external expression of mood. You can see how surging I am today. "
Then, Zheng Yuling continued to tease from Huang Bo's dress, "What are you wearing tonight, pajamas?" Because I haven't been to the Golden Horse Awards for five years, I dressed very grandly, but you...Look at the audience, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, they all dressed very grandly. "
Huang Bo responded again: "Yes, yes, yes, because they are guests. Of course, when guests go to other people's homes, they must dress more seriously. You have not been here for five years. I have been at the Golden Horse Awards for the past five years. I have made the Golden Horse Awards look like home. What do I wear when I return home? right? "

Huang Bo responded ingeniously on both occasions, mobilizing the atmosphere.
But when it was Cai Kangyong's turn, he suddenly targeted Huang Bo: "There is also Huang Bo, this is my home, not yours. "The atmosphere of
was instantly dignified, and Andy Lau and other artists in the audience were also unhappy. Unexpectedly, Huang Bo's on-the-spot reaction was perfect.
Huang Bo almost didn't stop, and quickly replied: "Nor, actually I just See, you are not alone in the fight, there was a horse with you just now. "For so long, I have only seen people riding horses, but haven't seen horse riders. "(Cai Kangyong's clothing style at the time was an exaggerated horse riding on his back) The words of
not only eliminated the embarrassment on the scene, but also won the applause.
