The total number of applications dropped by four cities, and the "Golden Horse" ran wildly on the road to the "Dead Horse"

At 18:00 on July 31, the official account of the Taipei Golden Horse Awards announced that it had closed the application for entries, and a total of 685 online applications had been received. Among them, there are 148 feature films, 104 documentaries, and 5 animated feature films. The detailed information is still under statistics. The final registration status will be announced at the shortlisted press conference on October 1.

It is worth noting that the total number of films registered this year is basically the same as in previous years, but the number of feature films has dropped sharply, only 148, compared with 228 last year, a year-on-year decrease of 35%. In the 55th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards last year, among 23 film awards and individual awards, 6 films from Mainland China won 14 awards, accounting for over 61%. And this year. Without the presence of high-quality mainland films, the Golden Horse Awards have completely become the "self-entertainment" of Taiwanese filmmakers.

Previously, the mainland films that were shortlisted for the main competition of the three major European film festivals have refuted rumors and will never participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

These shortlisted in the main competition units of the three major European film festivals, representing the highest level of contemporary Chinese-language films, collectively absent, making the future of the Golden Horse Awards bleak. Some people in Taiwan have no overall view and hurt the feelings and mutual trust between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. In the end, it was a Chinese film award that was founded 57 years ago to pay for it, which is not surprising.

Nowadays, the largest Chinese film market is not coming. The Golden Horse Awards is now the Taiwan Province Art Film Awards Ceremony. Last year, the total box office of domestic films was 34.01 billion, and Taiwanese films were not even divided into 100 million.

The final result of Taiwan’s annual box office champion "Kaotou 2" last year was 28.52 million yuan. Last year, the final report card of the mainland box office champion "Operation Red Sea" was 3.645 billion yuan, and this year, there are already a small break of 4.618 billion box office awaiting you.

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 starting from this year, the Golden Rooster Award will be settled in Xiamen, Fujian Province for a long time. The 32nd Golden Rooster Award is also held on November 23, 2019. ——It happened to be in a collision with the Golden Horse Awards. The

Golden Horse Awards have never been the only important Chinese film festival. The influence of the Golden Horse Awards has surpassed that of the Golden Horse before. As a result, he was ruined by his own honey operation. Last year, after the filming of the Golden Statue, who still remembers? Today, the Golden Horse Award is also running wild on the same road to death.
