Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Compared with the first Father and Son Love with strong literary and artistic flavor, and the second Running into the Wrath of political reflection, this year's Hong Kong Film Awards has given an olive branch to the content, box office, and word-of-mouth. Xu Ke was named the best director, and Once Upon a Time: Top Gun became the best film. Le Wen Novels|

In this way, Xu Ke, who had already won the Best Director of the Taiwan Golden Horse Award in 1981 with Ghost Horse and Smart Stars, suddenly became a double director, and he was in the limelight for a while.

The topic that surprised the audience even more was the movie Once Upon a Time. The Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards invited the Guinness World Records certification officer to confirm that Once Upon a Time has filmed more than 80 films. The series with the most episodes of the same theme on the Internet.

Amidst thunderous applause from all the honored people present, Tang Huan went on stage in person, saying Salute again and again, while awarding the Golden Statue Awards to Master Huang Guan Dexing and Traitor Jian Shi Jian respectively. Lifetime Achievement Award and Professional Spirit Award.

Decades ago, the movie Huang Feihong starring Guan Dexing and Shi Jian, in addition to creating a classic artistic image of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, also brought up the martial arts culture of Hong Kong and laid the cornerstone of Hong Kong martial arts films. Cultivated a group of behind-the-scenes film talents including action directors, martial arts directors, action doubles, etc., making Xiangjiang action films occupy a place in the world film market.

It is precisely because of the accumulated achievements of these industry predecessors that the Hong Kong film industry has ushered in a glorious golden age. Everyone here is an important part of promoting Chinese films to the world. As participants and witnesses, How lucky we are!

Looking at Tang Huan on the stage, a few words made most people excited. Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and other elderly people looked at each other, thinking that this young man is simply a monster.

Dickson Poon applauded. While telling Cen Jianxun and Hong Jinbao next to him, You guys push forward the progress of filming as soon as possible, and just ask what you need.

As a rookie entering the film industry. In order to win people's hearts, Pan Dickson and Tang Huan used the filming of the TV series Shanghai Beach as a breakthrough. It relied on generosity and kindness, so Cen Jianxun and Hong Jinbao were convinced immediately, and the former even became the head of operations of Debao Film Company.

However, the two of them have now basically understood why Poon Dickson is so active in the film industry. The main reason is to focus on the growing influence of movies and the role of celebrities in promoting their own famous brands. After all, DreamWorks has achieved quite good business results in the peripherals of movies such as God of Gamblers and Wrong Yang.

Of course, Dickson Poon had other thoughts. It is also related to the Malaysian lady next to her.

Pan Sheng, the box office of a movie is closely related to the support of theaters.

Now that Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas are vying for land with DreamWorks Cinemas, we need to do our homework in advance and choose carefully. Cen Jianxun reminded.

Let's find DreamWorks Cinemas to cooperate with. Pan Dickson nodded. The rumor that DreamWorks Theaters intends to establish a unified theater alliance, I think it is highly credible and has a great chance of winning. And I have personally seen the DreamWorks theaters, which not only have a large number, reasonable layout, and advanced facilities, Moreover, they are all divided into several small theaters, which can show different movies at the same time. In particular, the screens are specially reserved for niche art films, and the cooperation space is far larger than that of Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas.”

Dickson Poon still has something to say, that is, he wanted to find an advertisement endorsement for his famous brand. He and Zhao Yazhi have established a good cooperative relationship. Although the other party has mainly stayed in the United States for the past two years, they still maintain it.

Some * are obvious to a discerning eye. Therefore, Dickson Poon believes that there are more reliable favor cards to play, and Debao's movies will not lose the chain in the theater chain.

I think so too. DreamWorks Cinemas has always been acclaimed for their generosity, and they are very popular with the producers. They are indeed a reliable long-term partner. Cen Jianxun deeply agreed. Although Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and DreamWorks Cinemas are fighting happily, there is no uncontrolled chaos. This has to be reminiscent of the purpose of their confrontation at this stage. It is for Fight for the right to speak in the theater alliance in the future.

While the two were talking, applause and cheers suddenly erupted in the arena. They looked at the stage, and it turned out that this year's Academy Awards had ingeniously added a Best Dressed Award for the Avenue of Stars Parade, which was specially used to praise the respect of the general assembly , well-dressed male and female stars on the red carpet, God of Gamblers Zhou Runfa and Thirteenth Aunt Guan Zhilin became the first pair of stars to receive this honor, which made everyone feel fun and friendly.

After the Golden Statue Awards, Tang Huan came backstage and met the host Paul Zhong, who quickly said hello.

Paul, now you have the demeanor of a gold medal master of ceremonies, amazing! Tang Huan patted Paul Zhong on the shoulder approvingly.

Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, and Paul Chung, the Three Swordsmen who once co-produced the youth idol movies Applause and Unemployed, have long since split up and went solo.

Compared with the former two, Paul Chung, who was born as a DJ, had a bit of a rough star journey. Originally, after switching from Xiangjiang Commercial Channel to DreamWorks and Media Asia TV, he successively took on several youth idol movies, especially Sweet Twenty Four Flavors was very popular. Unexpectedly, there was an accident, a car accident, a serious foot injury, and all the work was ruined.

Tang Huan, who made the inquiry, donated a sum of money in his own name, which greatly solved Paul Zhong's expensive surgery expenses, so the other party's gratitude does not need to be described.

The reason why Tang Huan bothered about such small things was mainly because he cherished the talent of Paul Zhong. He was not only handsome in appearance, but also quick-witted and very smart. Reached the height of tvb gold medal emcee He Shouxin.

Paul Chung served as the host of the Golden Statue Awards this time, and he made the atmosphere humorous yet dignified.

With Tang Huan's affirmation, Paul Zhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said a few words of humility.

At this time, Chen Baisheng, Wu Siyuan, Liang Liren, and Xu Guanwen came forward together, took Tang Huan into the lounge next to him, and then began to report some results on the establishment of the Xiangjiang Film Industry Association.

Tang Huan knew it well. To do a good job of the cake of Xiangjiang Movies, not only must you understand the company's operations, but you must also gather the popularity of the entire industry. For example, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which are on track and have begun to mature. It is necessary to strive to attract more people to sing together, and the breakthrough lies in the review system.

The Hong Kong Film Awards adopts a peer review mechanism. The selection process consists of two rounds.

The first round: The first round jury is composed of people in the film industry and professional media workers to select the nomination list. The top five winners with the highest votes for each award can enter the second round of selection, but the number of places can be changed from five to four or six depending on specific circumstances.

The second round: Another group of film industry professionals and professional media workers with a smaller scale will form a second round of professional judging panel to select the final winners.

It can be said that this set of rules is already the most appropriate solution for the Hong Kong Film Awards to maintain its credibility at this stage.

However, Tang Huan, who has a wider vision. I know that there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.

The most obvious point is that the members of the jury for the Hong Kong Film Awards are basically individuals, and their energy is obviously far inferior to that of industry associations. However, the Hong Kong film industry does not currently have any such organization.

Tang Huan can't wait for it to emerge spontaneously. If that happens, at least one pole will be spent for three years, and the day lily will be cold. So, he found a few people with enough reputation in the industry, that is, the few in front of him. to promote progress in this regard.

Among them, Chen Baisheng was responsible for convening the Xiangjiang Film Critics Society, and this work was basically completed. He has even become a member of the International Film Critics Association; Wu Siyuan is in charge of convening the Hong Kong Film Directors Association; Liang Liren is in charge of convening the Hong Kong Film Screenwriters Association;

In addition, Wu Siyuan is also responsible for the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Workers Association. The Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Film Screenwriters Association, and the Hong Kong Artists Association mentioned above are all its members.

These industry associations will start from the next Hong Kong Film Awards to join the judging committee to increase the voice of the film professional team.

After accepting the entrustment, these people worked very hard, Gein could not only use this to get new opportunities for career development from Tang Huan's huge entertainment empire. They can also accumulate network resources through this process, and start-up funds, offices and other practical issues. You don't have to solve it yourself.

Of course, these four people have more or less a relationship with Tang Huan. There is no need for Chen Bosheng to go into details. Film Business Weekly and the Hong Kong Film Awards are very involved. Wu Siyuan's relationship chain is Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin. Liang Liren is an executive of Lai TV and Media Asia TV. Xu Guanwen It was through the introduction of his younger brothers Xu Guanying and Deng Lijun that he entered Tang Huan's circle.

After reading the lists handed over by the four people, Tang Huan nodded pretendingly. In fact, he is only familiar with the names of some directors, screenwriters, and artists on it, and he has never heard of more behind-the-scenes personnel.

Fortunately, Chen Bosheng, Wu Siyuan, Liang Liren, and Xu Guanwen are very good at doing things, and they all emphasized that the people on the list are absolutely qualified.

With these professional groups, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to bring together the best forces in Hong Kong's film industry to produce world-class Chinese films. And after they join the judging committee, the credibility of the Hong Kong Film Awards will be further enhanced. Tang Huan clearly affirmed the results of the work of the four.

Wu Siyuan complimented: Mr. Tang is superior to others in his work. Including me, there are many owners of Xiangjiang Film Company, but no one has had the ability and tolerance to promote the development of the industry association before.

Perhaps the time is right now. Tang Huan smiled slightly and changed the subject: With this foundation, the holding of the Hong Kong Film Awards can be further specialized, such as setting up a permanent organizing committee to bring these professional Film organizations get involved. In addition, the Hong Kong Film Awards can also form a 'limited company', which is financially independent and responsible for its own profits and losses.

Mr. Tang's suggestions are of course all for the sake of the credibility of the Hong Kong Film Awards, but after all, the Hong Kong Film Awards are still in their infancy and cannot be separated from Mr. Tang's strong support. Hearing Tang Huan say financial independence Stand alone, be responsible for your own profits and losses, Chen Baisheng hastily emphasized the importance of this benefactor.

You must know that the reason why the Hong Kong Film Awards was held so smoothly and its influence gradually expanded is closely related to Tang Huan's strong support. For important resources such as venues, live TV broadcasts, etc., people can easily make a decision with one word. If it is an ordinary person, even if they run away, they may not find a way.

Don't worry, I'm sure I won't let it go. Tang Huan laughed loudly.

...

The next day, news about the third Hong Kong Film Awards appeared in major newspapers in Hong Kong, which shows its growing influence.

Topics including the dual director Xu Ke, the Guinness World Record of the film Once Upon a Time, the youngest actor Leung Ka Fai, etc., were talked about by reporters from various angles, and they almost wanted to praise the Hong Kong Golden Statue. up.

Tang Huan looked at it amusedly, put down the newspaper casually, thought for a while, and asked: The composer Hu Weili, whom I had someone invite from Beijing, has arrived?

The assistant hurriedly called Yu Zheng who was in charge of the daily operation of DreamWorks. The other party did not expect that the big boss would still worry about such a trivial matter, but after asking the administrative department, he couldn't help being a little stupid. The person in charge of the reception did not see Hu Weili.

The scale of DreamWorks was too large, and Yu Zheng, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Hu Yinmeng, was still a little uncomfortable for a while. He was too busy with important affairs, so he didn't have the time to pay special attention to the people recruited from the mainland.

Tang Sheng, the person in charge of the reception, went to pick him up at the appointed time, but he didn't see that Mr. Hu. The recent Xiangjiang subway strike brought some confusion to the entire transportation system, and he may have missed it for this reason. Yu Zheng Report carefully.

Then let's get in touch as soon as possible. Tang Huan didn't say much.

...

Although Hu Weili was born in Xiangjiang, he grew up in the mainland and taught at the Beijing Academy of Arts, China Conservatory of Music and Beijing Film Academy. While teaching, he has also carried out a large number of creative and performance activities.

After receiving the invitation from DreamWorks, Hu Weili, who had been suggested by his relatives in Xiangjiang to develop in Hong Kong, was immediately moved. He quickly completed the formalities and came to Xiangjiang.

In Xiangjiang in 1984, there was a taxi strike in Hong Kong and a subway strike. In addition to various modernization and expansion of transportation lines, it really caused some inconvenience to travel.

Hu Weili was more unlucky. He encountered this pass and missed the reception staff of DreamWorks, so he decided to leave the station, a place full of dragons and snakes, to meet his relatives.

After waiting for the taxi, Hu Weili was surprised to find that the very popular storytelling General Yang was playing on the car radio.

The driver smiled and explained, This year, a new Xiangjiang traffic radio station was established. In addition to broadcasting some road conditions, it also broadcast storytelling programs such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and General Yang, which made work less boring. (To be continued.)
