Chapter 108.9 The Postponed Academy Awards

This year's Academy Awards are the second.

The deadline for the film's selection is still December 31, and the shortlist will be released around January 15.

But considering that the Spring Festival this year is relatively early and the 24th is New Year's Eve, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee announced a few days ago that the second Academy Awards ceremony was held in early February, so that everyone will have more time.

To say that the first Xiangjiang Film Awards last year had good results. Although it is not as powerful as the Baodao Golden Horse Awards and is not as long as history, its selection focuses on Chinese-language films. Moreover, with the continuous strength of Xiangjiang Films, the Xiangjiang Film Awards can only become more and more prosperous.

The movies released in Xiangjiang last year were also exciting.

Not only is there a "Speed ​​of Life and Death" with a box office hit, but there is also a "Prison Storm" with good reputation and box office hit, but also a "Mr. Zombie" that has created new things, a stunning "Elephant Uniform Guard" made by Zhang Ce's old tree blooming, a special agent film "Best Partner" imitating the 007 series, and Cheng Long also learned from Yin Jun and entered the global market with "Red Fan District" and achieved considerable achievements.

Although these scripts were written by Yin Jun, it seemed a bit embarrassing, but Yin Jun was originally a genius. There was nothing to say about a genius who made such great achievements.

In contrast, the Baodao movies in 1981 seem a little inferior. It is expected that the 8 movies that were selected for selection, and they are basically art films.

This is just right, so as not to affect the purity of the film art if there are too many commercial films.

As the chairman of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, Guan Shan is very busy after New Year's Day. Many crew members, including those from Baodao, are hosting him, hoping to get some insider information.

Although Guan Shan basically doesn’t care about the matter, he is Yin Jun’s father-in-law. If you say something in it, maybe you can change the tendency of awards?

Many people invited Wen Jun, the executive chairman, but Wen Jun is very cunning. He eats what he should eat and drinks what he should drink, but he doesn't say a word. People can't get a truth from his mouth.

This is not a fault with Wen Xiaopang. If he spoke quickly for a while, Jun Shao would offend him. Can he bear such consequences?

In fact, Wen Jun knows at best the approximate number of votes in the specific voting primary election, but if the list of candidates comes out, Wen Jun can't watch the second round of voting. At most, he only knows it on the day of the award ceremony.

Before this, the voting verification and counting work were jointly responsible by Xiangjiang's most famous law firm and accounting firm, ensuring absolute confidentiality.

This was the case last year. At that time, many people thought Yin Jun was too vain, but after so many years of interpretation and thinking, everyone felt more and more that this would ensure that the awards were fair enough, and would give people a feeling of uncertainty, increasing the tension at the award ceremony.

Some reporters also wanted to interview Yin Jun, but Yin Jun expressed his opinion on this that he didn't know anything and ignored it. How to organize it is the matter of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, and how to select it is a series of film experts, journalists, and commentators. His only role in the Academy Awards is to sign broadcast contracts with them and provide some financial support.

At the end of the year before, the Xiangjiang Academy Awards signed a five-year television broadcast agreement with Kirin TV before it even started.

Kirin TV bought the TV broadcasting rights at a sky-high price of HK$30 million per year.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a business that is at a disadvantage. Such a fledgling film festival is not worth 5 million.

But the Xiangjiang Golden Star Award was proposed by Yin Jun. He would support himself and provide sufficient funds. This is also very normal.

When the news was revealed, the Golden Horse Awards on Baodao were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

It’s really different to have a big boss behind him!

We have so many Golden Horse Awards in our world, and we will often be closed due to funding issues. You can get 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the same time, which is so rich!

Not to mention, with such 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards is indeed rich. In addition to daily office work, they are also extremely generous to the filmmakers and crews who come to Hong Kong. They usually have three-day high-end hotels and round-trip air tickets.

For local people in Xiangjiang, you can’t spend money on this aspect, but the layout and scale of the award ceremony are also very luxurious and grand, making people feel classy at a glance.

Another thing is the celebration party after the award ceremony, which directly included a floor of the Peninsula Hotel. It was indeed only a wealthy person who could do it.

Even every judge who participated in the selection sent them along with the selection ballots, there were some exquisite gifts, including high-end fountain pens, etc.

If the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards has money, the possibility of favoritism and fraud and collecting benefits to the award will be greatly reduced.

It’s not that no one doubts whether Yin Jun will be the most caring, but the results of last year can be seen that the movies led by Yin Jun are not necessarily winners, and the judges will make screening changes based on their reputation every year.

Besides, their relationship with Yin Jun is not very good, especially the group of film critics in newspapers and magazines. They were so harshly beaten by the Qilin Daily on the newspaper they were having sex. If they didn't suppress Qilin movies well, they would be kind. How could they care about Yin Jun's movies?

Yin Jun didn't say anything polite.

In fact, his lack of attention to the Academy Awards is the greatest care.

Otherwise, if he had to say a few words, it would probably still affect the tendency of awards.

But what's the point of this?

Is it something Yin Jun hoped to see that a film award that was unfair from the beginning, which made it as notorious as it was 30 years later?

Yin Jun wishes everyone was equal and fought to the death at every Academy Awards. This proves that Xiangjiang and even Chinese-language films are very prosperous, rather than being the only one or one who is self-admiring.

The movies made by other film companies can make Kirin Film Company alert and keep working hard so as not to be robbed of honor and have no shame to see others.

However, even a girl like Guan Zhilin who doesn’t care much about money also asked Yin Jun if she sponsored 30 million yuan a year, isn’t it a bit too much?

She thought Yin Jun took out so much money for her father.

In Guan Zhilin's opinion, there is really no need for this.

Guan Shan has made a lot of money in the past few years. Yin Jun gave him a lot of show appointments before, but he dared not say that he had more than one year. He was also very happy to put 300,000 or 500,000 yuan into his pocket.

Not to mention that Guan Shan made two movies given by Yin Jun. The money earned in the first part was given to his family, but the millions earned in the second part were given to the little vixen.

Now, just to make Guan Shan enjoy the vanity of the chairman of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, he gave him 30 million yuan, which was a huge expense.

The one that Yin Jun loved the most was Guan Zhilin, so he naturally explained it carefully to her.

Although the Xiangjiang Film Awards were intended because of Guan Shan, the continued promotion of this award is a great thing for Xiangjiang's film career, so this is the most important purpose of sponsoring 30 million yuan every year.

As for the issue of losing money, it is not much.

The Academy Awards are not famous now, but if the Academy Awards are held in Asia, then referring to the Hollywood Oscars, the sponsorship fees of major brands are quite considerable and can be easily earned.

After hearing Yin Jun's explanation, Guan Zhilin reluctantly accepted it.

The boy naturally would not tell her that the first step is to select the films of Baodao and Xiangjiang at this Academy Awards.

In the future, when the mainland opens and opens, all the excellent mainland movies can be released and awarded in Xiangjiang. That will be a lively and colorful flowery one.

Compared with various awards such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in China, there are a lot of mother-in-laws on it, and they are not fair at all, the Xiangjiang Golden Star Awards are not so easily disturbed by official forces.

However, in the future, we cannot allow the judges from Xiangjiang to be selected. It is a bit biased to decide the awards for film works in the entire Taiwan Strait and the three regions with judges.

Yin Jun is planning to add some mainland judges after joining the mainland movies, and Baodao can also join in. It should be better for everyone to vote together.

Naturally, there will definitely be a group of people to keep warm and intrigue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, which is naturally indispensable in a society with people.

But if the coordination is good and the judges found have deep artistic attainments, the problem should not be very big.

At that time, those unprofessional journalists and film critics would be excluded by Yin Jun.

More people joining are directors, producers, screenwriters, etc., real people in the industry, film critics, newspapers and magazines related editors, etc. The quota should not account for more than one-third.

How to operate it specifically is definitely a long exploration process, and there is still time, so there is no need to panic.

Just one thing.

From the very beginning, the Academy Awards must appear in front of people in the innocent way, and there cannot be any exchange of interests, which will lead to the fact that the awards are taken away by others.

From the beginning, the Academy Awards should also find a balance between art and business, rather than simply appreciating art films, but instead keeping away the movies that the general public likes. This is another extreme and is not conducive to the development of films at all.

The reason why the Xiangjiang Golden Star Awards declined in their previous lives was that on the one hand, they were self-confidence and played their own games. On the other hand, their selections became increasingly niche and went against the public. It would be strange if they could arouse everyone's likes and attention!

You look at the old men in Hollywood, who are equally stubborn, but they dare to award awards to commercial blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings".
