Politics can’t do it, culture can do, the Golden Horse Award becomes the common value of both sides

This year's Golden Horse Awards are almost all mainland films. Director Feng Xiaogang (from left) won the best director, "August" won the best feature film, and Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun won the film, and Fan Wei won the film king.

Taiwan’s "China Times" published an editorial today. The excerpts are as follows:

The 53rd Golden Horse Awards Ceremony was regarded by many Taiwanese audiences as an upset. Except for the fact that Taiwanese films only won 5 out of 22 awards, it was a big hit The film "A Good Trip" was shortlisted for 8 items, and only won the Best Art Design Award in the end. "Goodbye Town" was shortlisted for 6 items, and even all failed. The four major awards, including Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Actress, are all Taiwanese movies. The audience who watched the awards ceremony broadcast on TV or on the Internet were entangled. Some green media and Luzui even said that this is not Taiwan’s Golden Horse Award, but the Mainland’s Golden Rooster Award. The dissatisfaction of these people is beyond words.

But, on the other hand, director Zhao Deyin, who won the annual Taiwan Outstanding Film Worker Award, expressed his deep gratitude to Taiwan for inverting his destiny and making him such a child from Myanmar who had not dared to dream of other than survival since he was a child. Now he can stand on the Golden Horse stage.

The 29-year-old Singaporean director Chen Zheyi won both the best new director award and the best feature film for his first feature film "Parents Are Not Home". When he came to the stage to accept the award, he said: I decided to take the film road because of watching Taiwan New Wave movies.

This is where the mysterious and moving power of movies or culture lies. Fortunately and honorably, such a beautiful thing began in Taiwan. The Golden Horse Awards is the earliest film award held in the Chinese region. Early Taiwanese films took the lead in the Chinese region. In recent years, the Golden Horse Award only recognizes the performance of the work and the judging attitude that is not affected by political ideology, making the Golden Horse Award four places across the strait. , And even one of the most respected film awards in the entire Chinese circle.

Many of the Golden Horse Awards have fallen into mainland China and Hong Kong. Some netizens expressed angrily that Taiwan’s spending money to encourage others and take a sedan chair for others has really ruined the efforts of Taiwan’s own film professionals and ruined Taiwanese’s contribution to Taiwan’s film and television. Cultural self-confidence. Therefore, the call for the Golden Horse Awards to exclude films outside of Taiwan has once again sounded. In other words, it seems that what many Taiwanese want to see is that only film awards are awarded to Taiwanese.

Actually, Taiwan has already had film awards of this nature. The Taipei Film Awards, formerly known as the China Times Evening News Film Awards, was awarded to Taiwanese films and film workers. The

Golden Horse Award has been positioned as a global Chinese film competition since 1997. Since 2003, the Golden Horse Award no longer restricts the use of Chinese as the main pronunciation, as long as it is the main language or dialect used in the Chinese region, it can be registered.

Therefore, "Wu Qingyuan", which focuses on Japanese dialogue, was shortlisted in 2006, and "Sedek Bale", which focuses on Seediq and Japanese, won 5 awards including best feature film in 2011; 2007; From 2010, the director and half of the main creative staff are Chinese films can be registered; since 2010, the director and other main creative staff have more than 5 Chinese films can compete. It can be seen that the relaxation of qualifications for the Golden Horse Awards has long surpassed the category of Taiwanese films. The

Golden Horse Award has established such a magnificent foundation and exudes such a huge energy. What we should do in the future is not to reduce the scale to protect the number of Taiwanese people. Instead, we should consider enlarging the influence of the Golden Horse Award and making the Golden Horse Award become The highest crown in the global Chinese film and television industry.
