Chapter 485: Listen to “multiple opinions” and unlock new knowledge
The next day, Kang Jianmin accepted exclusive interviews with Sina, Penguin and other media to talk about yesterday's Golden Rooster Awards.
Reporter: "Only winning one award for Best Picture, does it mean that the work itself is not very convincing?"
Kang: "Actually, it should win more awards. The overall quality of this film is outstanding, and it is well-deserved for the award."
Reporter: "More outstanding than "Your Name"?"
[Kang remained silent and ignored this question. 】
Reporter: “Why have I almost never heard of award-winning movies?”
Kang: "The Golden Rooster Award has always adhered to its professionalism. Of course, this does not mean that works without award-winning works are not professional.
However, the Golden Rooster Award is an expert award and does not consider whether the film has entered the market and passed the test of the audience.
It is true that some works are not well-known, but it would be wrong if they did not pay attention to the Golden Rooster Awards.
Moreover, there are actually quite a few movies here that are of very good quality, and I hope everyone can check them out. ”
"..."
In the afternoon, Chen Linfeng, who was sitting in the car, looked at the report displayed on his mobile phone with the expression of an old man on the subway.
Why haven’t you seen the award-winning movie?
A: You should all go check it out.
Is it so outrageous?
As Chen Linfeng continued to read, the reporter gradually took a closer look and mentioned the issues that many celebrities and artists have denounced.
Reporter: "Many filmmakers mentioned some problems with the Golden Rooster Awards yesterday. Did the judges of the organizing committee have these problems during the selection process?"
Kang: “The judges are all very professional.
According to the Golden Rooster Awards jury regulations, only front-line creative personnel are qualified to serve.
And this front line refers to filmmakers who have won the "Golden Rooster", "Hundred Flowers" and "Huabiao" awards in the past, plus some film critics, professors, teachers, etc.
The Golden Rooster Award judging panel composed of them is already the most representative judging panel. ”
"Then why are there still voices of dissatisfaction among many filmmakers?"
[Kang was silent for a long time, then answered:]
"Perhaps there is a slight imbalance in the age structure. The selection cycle of the film festival is very long. It is difficult to invite front-line young film creators due to time issues, and there are very few young experts in the critic field.
It's not that we don't know that there may be some problems here, but there is really no way around it. ”
"Then why are so many first-line creators invited to the selection of 'Centennial Classics in Film History'?"
[Kang did not answer this question and the interview ended here. 】
Chen Linfeng almost laughed out loud. This reporter knows how to create program effects.
The question you asked is so pointed, how should I answer it?
You can't be like the boss of a certain game company and cry because of these sharp voices.
He put down the phone and paid no attention to the remedial measures the leader spent the whole night making.
Sensitivity is rare enough, but unfortunately the problem is too serious and has become irreversible.
You will know just by listening to his answers. Netizens couldn't help but get even more excited after reading this.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Linfeng and his party returned to Yanjing from Hefei.
Along the way, in addition to taking time to read the news on my mobile phone, I received a lot of phone calls at other times.
They were all asking about the cannon for the Golden Rooster Awards last night.
Some are fellow artists who want to get some news;
There are also several other film and television company CEOs who are keenly aware of possible changes and want to see if they are profitable;
Of course, there are also inquiries within the system.
Many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, entertainers and bosses have spoken. These people have special status and need a positive reply.
The person with the closest connection was Director Zhao from the Film Bureau, who asked directly.
"Xiao Chen, how do you want to solve this matter?"
Chen Linfeng asked in confusion, "What's going on? I don't understand Director Zhao."
"Don't play this trick with me. Even though there were a lot of people complaining last night, the one who is really lethal is you.
Early this morning, some colleagues and leaders paid attention to the public opinion caused by this incident. What was originally a good event has now turned out to be a mess, and we cannot let outsiders see the joke. ”
"The 'Century Classics in Film History' session that I took the lead in did not turn out to be anything bad."
"Do I need to say more? If you hadn't made the gap between the two links so big, how could there be such a storm of public opinion?"
Chen Linfeng narrowed his eyes, "Then this has nothing to do with me. If someone does something wrong, you blame the other person."
His tone was a bit rude.
Director Zhao became kind instead, "I know if you look into it carefully, this is not your problem, but things have to be solved."
Chen Linfeng did not answer the question and just said, "I am on my way to Yanjing now. I have made a reservation to go to Mr. Tie's house with Mr. Han in the afternoon to chat."
"Oh?" Bureau Zhao heard the string and knew the elegant meaning, "Is there a charter?"
"It will probably be there by then." Chen Linfeng thought for a while, "How about after it's over, I remind Mr. Han and ask him to call you?"
The voice on the other end of the phone became more and more amiable,
"I just said that Xiao Chen must know what he knows and will never mess around.
Don't worry, if you need any help, just ask Lao Han to come to me. ”
"Then thank you, Director Zhao."
"Hey, I'm one of you, there's no need to say this."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Linfeng curled his lips.
If you want to get credit, but you still refuse to say a few nice words, you are so beautiful.
After arriving in Yanjing, he and Liu Qianqian went directly to Mr. Tie's home instead of going home.
After the phone call, Han Shanping also set off at this time.
In the end, the three of them arrived at just the right time and arrived almost at the same time.
At this time, Mr. Tie was already waiting at home.
"Good afternoon, Auntie Tie. I don't see Uncle Hua very often. He's at home too."
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Linfeng started shouting.
When Professor Hua saw that the visitor was Chen Linfeng, he smiled and said, "Xiao Chen is here, come in and sit down."
Mr. Tie also responded, "Uncle Hua is off for the past two days. You are in time."
Chen Linfeng introduced Han Shanping to the two of them.
No need to introduce Sissi, I have met her at the wedding before.
"Auntie Tie, this is Mr. Han from Huaying. I mentioned it to Auntie Tie on the phone before."
Mr. Tie nodded, "I've seen him before, but I'm not very familiar with him."
"Hello, Mr. Tie."
Han Shanping is also a big boss. Although his level is not as high, his attitude is still neither humble nor arrogant.
After the two parties met, everyone took their seats.
When Chen Linfeng saw that there was boiled tea on the table, he refilled it for everyone present.
The pleasantries were skipped, and several people gradually started chatting about the Golden Rooster Awards.
Since last night, discussions on this aspect have become more and more intense, both online and in the media.
Even though today is Sunday and the leaders are not at work, the Railway General Manager received several calls a day.
They are all concerned about this matter.
Officially, the event of "Centennial Classics in Film History" was spearheaded by Mr. Tie, so any problems would naturally be traced to her.
"Of course, in fact, this event was very well organized, and the feedback from all parties was very good. In total, it was a success without fault."
Mr. Tie said, “It’s just that unity and cooperation are important within the system. If you are too good, it will not be good if you compare yourself to those around you.
We also need to show our spirit of helping and helping to win the Golden Rooster Award.
It is best to reach the level of this "Century Classic in Film History" selection. If the Golden Rooster Award itself is difficult to return, we will do our best to make it improve. ”
Chen Linfeng was amazed by what he said. He would participate in the Golden Rooster Awards in whatever name. If it didn't go well, he would have found a way out.
Han Shanping nodded and said, "This charter is in place."
He looked at Chen Linfeng and said, "Xiao Chen, you were the first to handle this matter. You should have some ideas now, can you tell me?"
Several people present looked at Chen Linfeng.
He didn't waste any words. He had been planning this since the beginning of the year, and now he was finally able to talk about it.
"The two main problems with the Golden Rooster Award now are that it must be held every two years, which is too long, and the award itself lacks credibility.
As long as these two problems are solved, the remaining problems, such as the lack of sponsors, few celebrities participating, insufficient attention, and the unwillingness of local cities to take over hosting, will all be minor problems. ”
Han Shanping couldn't help but nodded, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Mr. Tie just listened silently. She didn't know much about this and it was not suitable to say more.
However, Xiao Chen's words still sound reasonable.
Everything will be easier to handle if we grasp the main contradiction.
Chen Linfeng continued, “Let’s talk about the most troublesome thing first. The fairness of the Golden Rooster Award requires the fair and reasonable selection of outstanding works of the year.
Nowadays, the Golden Rooster Awards jury has the biggest problem, but we can’t just remove everyone rudely.
Firstly, the public opinion storm that may be caused is too great. Secondly, many of the judges here are indeed well-connected. If forced to do so, it is easy to be blocked by various obstacles in the end, resulting in failure. ”
The most difficult thing about reform is how to deal with old interest groups.
As soon as he said this, Mr. Tie and Han Shanping understood. The biggest difficulty lies here.
Even Liu Qianqian understood it. She had seen many cases in history books.
There really is nothing new under the sun.
"If we want to solve it, the key point lies in the judges of 'Century Classics in Film History'. We don't have to do anything more. We just need to stuff all these judges who are in their early 1000s into the Golden Rooster Award jury."
It's useless to add a little water to a ball of ink. If I add a basin of water, I can wash away these black lumps like yours.
“After the two juries are merged, the rules for subsequent additions must be stricter.
For example, in the future, only filmmakers who have won the Golden Rooster Award will be allowed to serve as judges, and at most, those who have won awards at international A-type film festivals. ”
There was no look of surprise on Mr. Tie's face, and he just said that this selection of century-old classics in film history was so formal that he would not just use it once and throw it away.
Han Shan said that this is the way it should be. It is indeed the method that makes the least noise and is easiest for the existing organizing committee of the Golden Rooster Awards to accept.
The two motioned for Xiao Chen to continue.
"In fact, the most difficult point is because we have laid the foundation before, and now it seems to be easy to solve. The real difficulty is how to change the status quo of biennial sessions.
It may not be easy for them to change the regulations previously issued by Wenhuakou. ”
Chen Linfeng looked at Mr. Tie, "Auntie Tie, I think you and Mr. Han have to work hard on this matter. If people in the industry need to speak out, I can contact some colleagues to send a petition or something. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to do anything. .”
Han Shanping shook his head. Xiao Chen was too much of a thief. He gave credit to others as if he was trying to embarrass others.
It is hard to say that it is difficult to ask the superiors to change the regulations, but it is easy to say that it is just a matter of issuing a new regulation.
The old regulations were issued in 2005, and it has been 6 years now. Do the higher-ups really have no idea whether they are good or bad?
It's only true that it's hard to slap yourself in the face.
Nowadays, the Golden Rooster Award is used to make a big mistake, which has caused dissatisfaction among filmmakers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and is now hotly debated by the Chinese and foreign media.
There is also a collective petition led by relevant leaders within the system and practitioners in the industry.
The new regulations issued by the higher authorities can be said to be in line with people's hearts and a new method under the new situation.
In this way, the trouble of being slapped in the face is gone.
The person doing this might be seen by the superiors as helping them solve their problem. Mr. Tie naturally understands this truth.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, don't make it so difficult. In fact, I want to accept your love."
What else should I say when I see Chen Linfeng?
She interrupted directly, looking very serious.
"My family, there is no need to be like this."
Han Shanping also nodded quickly, "That's right, Xiao Chen, we don't need to be so different."
"It was my fault." Chen Linfeng smiled.
All three laughed.
Professor Hua did not interfere in this matter and had already returned to the study.
Liu Qianqian was left holding the teacup and sipping the tea, wondering what they were laughing at.
A consensus has been reached on the two core issues, and the remaining minor issues are easy to deal with.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
There are three aspects to this matter.
From the perspective of industry practitioners, there is still a need for a joint report.
At this point, Mr. Tie suggested that Chen Linfeng should add the name of the Film Association. After all, he was also the nominal deputy of the Film Association.
Chen Linfeng nodded and agreed.
In addition, if there is a report from Huaying, the Railway General Administration will also issue a report as the deputy director of the Cultural Association.
The three parties submitted the report through their respective channels.
This is the opinion of all parties.
The three of them chatted for a long time about the details, and it wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the evening that everyone dispersed.
Before getting in the car after going out, Chen Linfeng and Han Shanping chatted about the phone call Director Zhao had in the afternoon.
Han Shanping couldn't help but sigh, "You really have been exposed to both rain and dew."
"I can't help it. I'm the youngest here, so I have to be careful."
Han Shanping couldn't help but want to complain, "After this whole thing is done, everyone will follow your baton. Who will underestimate you?"
He patted Chen Linfeng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand. I will discuss the details with Director Zhao and won't let him come to you again.
It will definitely make you have only merit and no fault. ”
Chen Linfeng spread his hands and said, "In fact, it's useless for me to have this skill. It's not useful anyway."
"Don't you still have many positions in associations? They are more or less within the system, so it can't be said that they are completely useless."
Since it was getting late, the two of them didn't chat much and then left.
In the next few days, Liu Qianqian went to Hollywood to participate in the final round of promotion before the premiere of "The Walking Dead".
Chen Linfeng first called Director Kang of the Film Association to explain the whole story and invited him to join the joint effort.
Director Kang didn't say anything at this time. My jury is absolutely fine and is the most representative.
Without saying a word, he nodded in agreement and was extremely grateful.
It’s already here, who still can’t see the general trend clearly?
Before, there was no other way but to try and see if we could prevent the ship from sinking.
Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally jump into another boat.
Member of the organizing committee: I have a saying MMP...
As a result, the last bit of resistance that can be called resistance is gone.
Chen Linfeng followed the plan and contacted Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, etc., as well as a group of directors, actors, behind-the-scenes professionals, and the Film Association.
After everyone discussed.
Drafted by Chen Linfeng and jointly signed by everyone, a "Recommendation Report on Guiding China's Film Industry towards a Healthier Development" was delivered to superiors.
The article not only highlights various problems with the Golden Rooster Awards, but also provides solutions.
Regarding the problem that has arisen in the industry today, actors’ remuneration is too high;
A series of problems that may arise from ticket subsidy;
As well as the unreasonable ratio of bill sharing between production and theater chains.
All made statements and suggested measures.
Here, there are some of Chen Linfeng's own private goods.
Of course, the overall content of this piece must be added after the three people discussed it.
The report cannot only talk about the issues of the Golden Rooster Awards.
Otherwise, shouldn’t I tell my leaders clearly that I am targeting the Golden Rooster Award and your unreasonable “two-year” award?
Even if the leader knows everything, he still can't say this.
Now this report is much more reasonable.
We are worried about the current status of industrial development and want the industry to develop better, so we have put forward constructive suggestions to the superior departments.
Whether to adopt it or not depends entirely on the wise decision-making from above.
In fact, everyone knows that except for the Golden Rooster Award, other issues will most likely not be touched.
With chronic diseases and millions of laborers dependent on food and clothing, no one would dare to make changes unless there was an opportunity for change.
However, when Han Shanping and Zhang Weiping initiate a dispute over the division of accounts around December, the leaders will probably pay more attention to the report.
No one could have imagined that these practitioners below are so capable.
I thought it was just a talk, you are not really here for the advancement of the industry, right?
By the end of October, everything Chen Linfeng was doing was basically over.
After the editing of "Inception" is completed, the remaining post-production work such as special effects, sound effects, and color correction is a relatively long-term process.
He only needs to stare at it every few days.
By this time, "The Walking Dead" had started airing, and Liu Qianqian also had some free time.
The two went to the Coral Country for their honeymoon as planned.
Throughout November, neither of them appeared in the country.
This November, the country is experiencing turmoil.
Although the report was submitted in the first half of the month, the leadership took a long time to consider it.
Because of the "Century Classics in Film History" activity, it was really outstanding and related discussions continued.
Therefore, public opinion about the Golden Rooster Awards continues to ferment.
"Flying", the best feature film selected by the Golden Rooster Awards, suffered a setback and became the target of ridicule.
A certain flap was given a low score of 4.5, and the V station only gave it a score of 5.
Originally a movie that wasn't that bad, its ratings plummeted because it won the Golden Rooster Award.
The credibility of the Golden Rooster Awards has suffered further damage.
In the second half of the month, the superior department first issued a notice, abolishing the previous rule that domestic official awards could only be held once every two years.
It will be decided by the organizing committee of each award.
Of course, all relevant awards organizations have announced that they will be held once a year.
It is held once every two years, whoever wants to come can come.
With this, the Hundred Flowers Award is completely separated from the Golden Rooster Award.
We really can't be together anymore.
As for the reform plan for the Golden Rooster Awards, it has not been announced to the outside world, but the official internal level has determined that comprehensive reforms will be carried out.
How to specifically change it, of course, requires collecting "multiple opinions".
The progress is definitely not that fast.
Han Shanping informed Chen Linfeng that the news was expected to wait until after the new year.
Good things come hard, but Chen Linfeng has the patience.
At the end of November, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian ended their honeymoon early and went to Bay Island to attend this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
Last year, he talked to the media about some issues regarding the Golden Horse Awards.
The other party kept silent from beginning to end, and ended up inviting him again this year.
It feels like Xiao Chen has abused me thousands of times, and I treat Xiao Chen like my first love.
There is no other way. No matter how much he doesn't like it, he can't step on someone's face on the ground. This is not his style.
I can only come here to participate once more. After all, everyone knows that he is free during this period, so he doesn't even have to make excuses.
In fact, Liu Qianqian was still a little confused and didn't understand why he didn't like the Golden Horse Awards but came to participate anyway.
Chen Linfeng is hard to answer. I can't say that he just wants to win a prize for you.
Sissi really wants to win an award, so she can't always let her children get no positive feedback.
It was her turn.
Last year "The Ugly Duckling" failed to win the award. In the final analysis, the Golden Horse Awards were trying to balance it.
This year Sissi comes with a big hit with "Your Name".
This is the second time I come to support you as a popular actress. If I don’t give you face again, it will really be unjustifiable.
After arriving at Bay Island, the media indeed brought up the issue of Sissi's success as an actress.
"I think her performance in the film is perfect and deserves the judges' attention and respect."
"What about you, Director Chen? Have you ever thought about becoming an actor?"
"Huh?"
Chen Linfeng really didn't think about this. He was caught off guard and hesitated,
"It's not necessary. My main identity now is still as a director and screenwriter. It doesn't matter whether I am an actor or not."
The most important thing is that there is a Wang Baoqiang this year.
"Hello! The new Venice Best Actor in "Mr. Tree" is really no joke.
Chen Linfeng really doesn't think he can win the Best Actor award.
He shook his head directly and said, "If it were compared to previous years, I would be rude. There are too many good works this year.
Most of the male actors' performances are excellent, such as Baoqiang and Qianyuan, they all performed very well, so I won't argue with them. ”
Saying this before the awards ceremony is almost equivalent to announcing your withdrawal.
The media was shocked and reported it as big news.
That night, the news spread throughout the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
At night, Liu Qianqian stared at him straightly,
"Xiao Feng, did you withdraw from the election because of me?"
She looked a little lost.
"Of course not. I won't say it anymore. I can't compare to Wang Baoqiang, so I just showed my spirit and quit on my own initiative."
"Really?" Liu Qianqian confirmed again and again.
"It's true."
Although there was a bit of intention to give up on giving the heroine more strength, it really mainly felt that there was not much chance and it was considered a waste.
But I definitely couldn't say much at this time. Sissi was already a little frustrated even without looking at her.
She seemed a little convinced.
I became extremely proactive overnight and even unlocked new "knowledge (zi) knowledge (shi)".
Well, from this point of view, it’s not a loss!
