Chapter 840 Chen An: Although...but I am not qualified!
"I really want to bring Chen An along. I have an idea.""That is to say, Chen An didn't like it and didn't go. It would be more exciting if he went. I guess one-third of the people at the scene would leave directly."
"That's right, Chen An doesn't give me any face at all."
"It's come true. They are indeed a bunch of insects. Poor Li An. His careful planning was just beginning and someone smashed his plate!"
"But I really want to see what Chen An is like when he's there. I guess he took off his shoes and threw them up there, hahahaha."
"."
Li An's self-exposure added a lot of humor to the incident.
At the beginning, netizens were really angry.
The situation got a little better with the counterattack from mainland filmmakers, and with Chen An's critical hits, they suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
The Taiwanese media was silent for a while, and the blue media was also criticizing the inappropriate remarks made by an unknown director at the awards ceremony.
By saying such things in such an occasion, a winner of a minor documentary award is simply damaging the reputation of the Golden Horse Awards.
Put mainland filmmakers on the spot.
The green media remained silent and very angry.
The Golden Horse Organizing Committee is extremely anxious. The film industry in Taiwan and Hong Kong is in decline, and they are well aware that the Golden Horse Awards today is completely supported by mainland films.
I was so confused.
"Old leader, I can bear your scolding, but I will never admit it!"
Chen An stiffened his neck and said stubbornly.
Although he was invited to have tea, he had no intention of giving in. He could not take back the curse he had already given.
The old leader took a sip of tea in his hand, glanced at him, and chuckled: "It seems that you have enough understanding of yourself, but who said that they would cause trouble for you this time?"
"Hehehe, old leader, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm used to it. Come on, have some tea. I see there's no steam in your cup. I'll make you some more."
"Stop being so attentive. I asked you to come and talk business."
"okay!"
Chen An agreed verbally, but continued to boil water and make tea.
It's a rare opportunity to come here, and the tea is all good. I can't waste it, I have to drink some.
The old leader rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. Xiaoxiao could see the slightest sign of anger, but he didn't care.
"The higher-ups have decided that as the domestic market grows bigger and more influential internationally, it's time for an award with enough influence to be presented to domestic literary and artistic film and television workers."
"We have them, don't we? Three of them. In addition, we have an international A-class film festival. Each of them is a well-known award in the film industry!"
"Don't think I can't hear it."
"What did I say?"
Chen An had an expression that showed he felt very wronged. I was just praising you, and you are still not satisfied?
The old leader said that Chen An's words sounded sarcastic, but he actually knew the domestic award situation very well.
"Originally, the higher-ups were cooperating with the Golden Horse Awards and gave preferential treatment and support, but after this incident, it really made me sad, so I decided to do it myself."
"By the way, tell some people that it's not that we don't want to, we just want to help you!"
"So, let me do it?" Chen An had an expression as if to say, "I'm going to deal with Tang Seng and his disciples," and pointed at himself in disbelief with his right hand.
The old leader nodded with satisfaction, "Compared to Li An, you are more important. There is no one in the country who is more famous and honored than you. Whether in China or abroad, you are the face of Chinese-language films."
The young man is teachable. After just a little guidance, the other party understood. The old leader was still very happy.
Chen An waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I am not qualified. How can I take on such a big responsibility?"
Although I am the only one in history to have won the three major European awards and the Oscar, as well as the only one to have won the three best director awards and the Oscar for best director, I have also won countless domestic awards!
Although I am one of the top three greatest directors of our time in the United States, and one of the top ten greatest directors in film history! Although I am one of the top ten greatest directors in film history, and the greatest director of our time, according to the French New Wave pillar "Cahiers du Cinema" magazine!
Although I am the most influential director in the country, there is no doubt about it!
But I am not qualified enough to be the host of an award like the Golden Rooster!
With a bang, the old leader slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Stop being so sarcastic. Just do it if I tell you to. How can I let you suffer any loss?"
"How many things have I helped you stop over the years? You're such a bullshit just to get me a job!"
"Yes, yes, old boss, don't be angry. It's okay for me to go, but you know the situation of Jinji. What's the point of me going?"
Chen An quickly pulled the man aside to comfort him, but he also told the truth.
The problem of the Golden Rooster Award has been around for a long time, and he alone cannot change anything. After all, the national conditions are like this, and it is not a pure film award.
The audience’s complaints have been going on for a long time, and the image of the award has long been deeply rooted.
Moreover, the people inside were all Chen An's "elders", especially those who graduated from the academy, so Chen An had to say hello when he saw them.
The old leader waved his hand in a resolute manner and said domineeringly: "Don't worry about these, just think about your own ideas. Aren't you usually very arrogant and fearless? Why are you so cowardly today?!"
"I will personally sit in the chair for you. I don't want anyone to complain. You will be the chief judge. It's settled!"
"Alas, old leader, you really made me suffer~"
"Are you looking for a fight?!"
"No, old boss, you know me well. If you point me in the west, I will never go east. If you say one word, I..."
"Fuck off!"
Seeing that Chen An started to talk nonsense, the old leader started to drive him away.
Chen An definitely won’t leave. He hasn’t even drunk the freshly brewed tea yet. What a waste.
They continued to stay here and laugh for a long time before leaving, and finally they managed to coax the other person into submission.
"We are also planning to restructure the award this time. Holding it every two years is indeed not in line with the mainstream. You can be the first to set an example." The old leader, who had recovered, continued to talk about his plans.
Chen An nodded: "It's a wise move. Holding it every two years is too chaotic, especially now that the Hundred Flowers Awards has completely lost its competitiveness."
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are together. The Golden Rooster still has some professionalism, while the Hundred Flowers has none at all.
Now he is just somewhat famous, but has almost no recognition from the audience.
The Golden Rooster Awards, which are held every two years, have been delayed for too long, but the value of the awards has not been improved.
"Then I plan to add the Best International Film Award, which is also the Best Foreign Language Film Award. What do you think?"
"Like Oscar? That's fine too."
"It's not just the Oscars, in fact there are many awards for this, and it is certain that the Chinese-speaking market will go overseas in the future, so it's better to prepare early."
Li An planned to build the Golden Horse Awards into the Oscars, and Chen An naturally had the same idea when he took over the Golden Rooster Awards. However, the road ahead is long and arduous, and they can only take it step by step.
The old leader has no objection to this and plans to discuss it when the time comes.
"But you have to make sure the other party can show up, otherwise it will be a joke."
"Don't worry about that. I still have some face abroad."
Chen An patted his chest and said that this was no problem. "I will be responsible for contacting them and inviting them to apply."
This kind of thing requires him to be involved personally, after all, it's not Oscar who comes on his own initiative.
But it is not a big problem. The attractiveness of the current Chinese market is self-evident. As the second largest market in the world, it is developing rapidly and is showing a trend of surpassing the first market.
For most directors, if they could enter this market, they would wake up smiling in their dreams.
The two had a brief chat about their plans first, and both had ideas about adding an award for Best Foreign Language Film.
