Do it yourself! The shortlist for the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is exposed, and mainland filmmakers collectively shirk their absence

The

Golden Horse Award is a film award held by Taiwan, my country. Together with the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards in the Mainland, they are collectively known as the Three Chinese Film Awards. It was founded in 1962. This award is a dream for Taiwanese filmmakers, and if you get it, you can greatly improve your reputation and status in the circle.

In the beginning, the Golden Horse Awards also held a pivotal position for filmmakers in the Mainland and Hong Kong. Many filmmakers are also very keen to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. In the 1980s, many of the Golden Horse Award winners were mostly actors and directors from Hong Kong, and only a few were native to Taiwan. After entering the millennium, Hong Kong films gradually declined, and mainland films gradually rose. In this context, mainland films gradually squeezed out the position of Hong Kong films and made great achievements at the Golden Horse Awards. Many mainland artists have successfully won the Golden Horse Award. Various awards, such as Chen Jianbin once won the Golden Horse Best Actor .

However, in 2019, the National Film Bureau banned filmmakers from the mainland from participating in the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. Since then, the influence of the Golden Horse Awards has gradually declined, and it has been such a dilemma until this year. Especially after the 59th Golden Horse Awards this year was announced recently, the vast majority of filmmakers from Hong Kong and the mainland decided not to participate, making the Golden Horse Awards ridiculed by many netizens as the self-healing award of Taiwan Province.

Let's take a look at the nominees for this Golden Horse Awards. Among them, five nominees for Best Actress are Hong Huifang , Zhang Aijia , etc., and four nominees for Best Actor are Zhang Jicong , Lin Jiadong , etc. , among these nine people, only three are from Hong Kong, only one is from Taiwan, and the remaining five are from Taiwan. And these four actors from the mainland and Hong Kong, except for Lin Jiadong, can be said to be 18th-tier artists who don't know where they came from. This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but it is true that these few are not well-known transparent coffee.

In addition, in this Golden Horse Award's shortlist for the best new director, there is also a Ke Zhendong who has long been identified as a bad actor in the mainland and blocked. It is precisely because the Golden Horse Awards are so stubborn that the mainland region will impose a ban on it, making it gradually reduced to self-esteem in the mouths of netizens. The same is true in Hong Kong. Shortly before the shortlist of the Golden Horse Awards was announced, the Hong Kong Film and Television Association issued an announcement calling on people in the Hong Kong film industry to think twice before taking part in the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. Unfortunately shortlisted, you can find an excuse to shirk.

It is obvious that this is a punitive measure taken by Hong Kong to pursue the policy of the mainland, and for the long-standing position problem of the Golden Horse Awards. If the Golden Horse Award still does not reflect, in the foreseeable future, it will probably go further and further on the road of becoming a self-healing award. The director of Taipei Film Festival once said to the public that if the mainland and Hong Kong are isolated from the Golden Horse Awards, if this lasts for two or three years, then the problem is not panic at all, but if it lasts for more than ten years, the Golden Horse Awards will not be affected. The blow is fatal, because gradually people will forget the existence of the Golden Horse Award!
