What are all filmmakers and fans doing tonight?
estimates that everyone is looking for the live link of the Golden Horse Awards. Unlike the Hong Kong Film Awards that imposed the best film on a certain movie a few years ago, this year’s Golden Horse Awards, although many domestic films were shortlisted, eventually encountered the whole network. Video blocking! The three major portals
, Mtime.com, and Douban did not reserve a report page in a prominent position on the homepage, and even the lively live broadcast platforms in the past have also blocked the live broadcast. Although everyone did not miss most of the awards, the 55th edition is undoubtedly It is a "disappearing Golden Horse Award", and it is very likely that it will be a Golden Horse Award that the two sides of the strait will not want to talk about for a long time!
Lee Ang rushed into battle, Gong Li temporarily rescued the scene, and the jury members disappeared. Mainland movies dominated the mainstream, and the number of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies dropped sharply. This is all the information that the 55th Golden Horse Awards can give everyone, and also for some Taiwanese movies. For diehards and fans, this is another trivial Golden Horse Award.
has been crowned by many people as the No. 1 award in the Chinese film industry. Last year, there were two pure Taiwanese films, "Big Buddha Plus" and "Blood Guanyin", which were rarely seen in recent years, but this year it is not only local in Taiwan. The importance of the report has weakened, and even the mainland has appeared very cautious and cautious about its reports.
The big winner "Shadow" and "I am not the god of medicine"
controversial hot spots can not hide the mainland's edge
This Golden Horse Awards films from mainland China occupy an absolute position, and Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" won twelve nominations for the drug god. It was shortlisted for seven awards, Jiang Wen’s "Evil Do Not Suppress Righteousness" (6 nominations), "Blizzard is Coming" starring Duan Yihong (6 nominations), "The Last Night on Earth" directed by Bi Gan (5 nominations), "The Later Us" (5 nominations) and so on, the number of nominations far exceeds that of Taiwan and Hong Kong films.
The most watched finalist of Taiwanese films is "Who fell in love with him first", which was nominated for 8 nominations, including best feature film, best actor, best actress, best new director, and most Best new actor, best original screenplay, best editing, best original movie song. Everyone knows the results of the
awards, but there is no big surprise.
"Elephant Sitting on the Floor" finally won, with the heaviest best film and best adapted screenplay!
"Shadow" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" became big winners. "Shadow" won the best director, best visual effects, best art design, and best styling design. "I'm not the god of medicine" won the best male Leading role, best new director and best original screenplay. The golden age of the fifth-generation director of
missed the Golden Horse Award, and Zhang Yimou’s award is the best compensation!
The new director Wen Makino has achieved such a high degree of completion and a high level of humanistic values in his first directing, and the new director deserves his name.
’s popular "Last Night on Earth" is also as charming as Bi Gan’s fascinating "Roadside Picnic". Hu Bo’s posthumous work "Elephant Sitting on the Ground" has already captured the hearts of a large number of fans from the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The festival also uses its own strength to prove that Chinese films will be infinitely beautiful in the future.
even Dapeng, who is infinitely unwelcome by most film critics and fans in the Mainland, won his first Golden Horse Award, making many netizens suspect that this Dapeng is the Dapeng we know?
In addition, the limitations and narrowness of the Golden Horse Awards have also been highlighted this year. The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League also reacted in the first time. This has extraordinary significance and deterrent to the situation in Taiwan in a sensitive period.
Objectively speaking, this Golden Horse Awards is a rather embarrassing one for Taiwan (including Hong Kong). Not only is the mainland movies in the list occupying the mainstream, but even more frightening is that in the "Big Buddha Plus" and "Blood Guanyin" After that, Taiwanese films fell into a trough again.
and Hong Kong, China completely open the market by HollyLike the impact of Wu’s film, Taiwan’s political situation has led to an economic decline, and filmmakers’ travels to the north and outlying islands have led to a serious decline in Taiwan’s film industry.
and even the current chairman, Mr. Li An, recognizes him in the international film circle more as a Chinese American filmmaker, not a Taiwanese. This is an inexplicable blow to Taiwan, whose ambitions are not small and the place is small. Even though there are many excellent filmmakers in Taiwan, the shrinking market, the unsatisfactory economy, and the rising market environment in the Mainland have made Taiwanese films and Taiwanese filmmakers miserable. The small flaws of
will not affect the bright future of Chinese-language films. Xu Zheng's speech actually represents the bright hopes of Chinese filmmakers for the future of Chinese films. The cold wind at the Hong Kong Film Awards has not affected the in-depth cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong, China. The "unhappy" at the Golden Horse Awards will also not affect the bright future of the gradual rise of Chinese films.
Going to the Golden Horse Award for political symbols
will usher in a new spring
Due to historical issues, the Golden Horse Award has been full of political colors and symbols from the first day of its birth. It originated from the initials of the "Bridgehead" Jinmen and Matsu Islands during the Cold War on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, aiming to encourage the Taiwanese film industry to imitate the frontline soldiers of the national army.
It is interesting to note that the Golden Horse Awards have persisted for almost 30 years and continue to absorb the high-quality resources of Hong Kong films. However, with the desolation of Hong Kong and Taiwan’s political economy and the shrinking of the film industry, it had to open to the mainland in the 1990s. .
"Sunny Day" in 1996, the 33rd Golden Horse Awards Seven Awards
Even so, when the Golden Horse Awards initially accepted mainland movies, they still had a strong political color and symbolic interpretation, such as "Heavenly Bath" and "Durian Fluttering" "Lan Yu" and other films have been highly praised by the Golden Horse Awards.
In the past ten years, the Golden Horse Awards have gradually adopted a more open attitude to deal with mainland movies. Zhang Hanyu won the Golden Horse actor with "Assembly Number", and Li Bingbing won the movie queen with "The Wind". Both films have been even for a long time. It cannot be released in Taiwan, and "July and An Sheng," which includes Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun's double yolk eggs, is also extremely difficult to be released in Taiwan.
Last year, the Golden Horse Awards became extremely colorful due to the rare two authentic Taiwanese films "Blood Guanyin" and "Big Buddha Plus". Even the Golden Horse Award was awarded the best film in 2013 (50th) Singapore film "Parents Are Not Home".
But overall, the Golden Horse Awards still have a strong political color and narrowness. In the past two years, many Chinese-language films have received high praise and praise in many regions, but it is still difficult to win nominations and awards at the Golden Horse Awards. Although the Golden Horse Awards have always encouraged small-cost and independent films, including this year’s multiple nominations for Bi Gan’s "Last Night on Earth", and previous award-winning films such as "August" and "No Problem", it can be given again before There are still too few opportunities for mainland films of this type, such as "Assembly Number" and "The Wind".
Although the mainland occupies the absolute mainstream of the film nominated this year, it still lacks some more types and special movie tickets. The Golden Horse Award wants to gain more recognition and attention, remove the political color and increase inclusiveness and diversity. More attractive.
Academy Award, Judge Award, People's Award
Where will the Golden Horse go in the future?
Now Chinese-speaking regions generally recognize the Golden Horse Award as the highest standard for Chinese-language movies. There are even more extreme opinions that there is no need for the future Chinese-speaking regions of the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Send the three films separately, just send the best film of the Golden Horse Award directly.
Many Chinese-speaking actors don’t care about winning the awards, but they are particularly concerned about winning the Golden Horse Awards. It is good to have won the China Watch and Hundred Flower Awards in the Mainland, and they are also very happy to win the Golden Horse Awards, but they seem to have already won the Golden Horse Awards. The highest honor in the Chinese film industry.
But objectively, it is affected by multiple factors, noneWhether it is the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan or the Golden Image Award in Hong Kong, China, including the highest government and private awards in the Mainland, the Huabiao and the Hundred Flowers Award, neither truly represents the highest level of Chinese-language films of the year.
The awards and films in the Mainland are of course needless to say. The Hong Kong Film Awards even launched several highly political films in the first two years. The Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards nominated the highly controversial film "The Ferryman" last year. Awards.
In fact, from the beginning, the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards also hoped to imitate the Oscar awards mechanism. This is based on the fact that Taiwan and Hong Kong have relatively high film industry systems, but there is still a huge gap in the film industry system in Hollywood. And space. The reason why
Hollywood’s Oscars has the highest degree of attention in the world is inseparable from its special and unique academy awards judging mechanism. Thousands of college votes and its highest film industry system can ensure that it has the most balanced selection mechanism. .
However, the Golden Horse Awards and other European film festivals often use the jury system. The selected judges’ personal aesthetics, political orientation, and ideology will be greatly influenced by the main committee and the authorities, and the number of personnel is small. Can not form a better differentiated selection, more is an expression of the will of a few people. The
government award naturally cannot become a kind of credibility, the jury has strong limitations, and the People’s Award is prone to swipe votes and cheating. Then the Golden Horse Award wants to gain more attention and influence in the future, and once again imitate Hollywood Only with the best way of appraisal of the college will there be better room for development.
This also requires the full cooperation of the entire Chinese-language film industry. It requires filmmakers from the three regions of the Taiwan Strait to abandon the ideological similarities and differences in the past, establish the entire Chinese-language film industry association, and include more high-level and high-level Chinese-language films. Quality talents will upgrade a small Golden Horse Award to a true Chinese Oscar!
