When the time came to 1982, Li Changsheng, as a big brother of Xiangjiang film and television, and even called the godfather of Xiangjiang film and television, created a very important award for the future of Xiangjiang film and television, the Golden Image Award.
This Golden Statue Award is an award that many of you are very familiar with. It is known as one of the top three awards in Chinese language awards.
The three gold awards refer to the Mainland's Golden Rooster Award, Xiangjiang's "307" Golden Statue Award, and Taiwan's Golden Horse Award.
Everyone knows that in a certain year, there were problems on Taiwan's side, which made the Golden Horse Awards a project for the people of Taiwan to entertain themselves.
Afterwards, with some idiotic behaviors of Xiangjiang filmmakers, the Academy Awards also rested on their laurels.
In the end, the Golden Rooster Award became the only professional award for Huayi Films. Isn't it a kind of sadness?
Under the advocacy of Li Changsheng, the Hong Kong Film Awards has become a completely professional film award without any other problems.
The Golden Statue Award originated from the magazine "Film Biweekly", which was founded in 1979. Its previous name was "Big Close-up". The founder and director Tang Shuxuan is the granddaughter of the warlord Tang Jiyao and the sister of the famous poetess Tang Shuchen. .
This magazine selects the top ten Chinese films of the previous year every year. This is a way for the editors to entertain themselves and add topics to the publication.
With the growing prosperity of the Xiangjiang film market, they began to try to expand the activity in 1982, and thus the most important honor of Xiangjiang Films - the Golden Image Award was born.
The Golden Statue Award was quite simple when it was first created, there was no red carpet on site, and only Zhou Runfa and Hui Yinghong were in formal attire among the filmmakers who enjoyed the show. There are only five awards for best film, best director, best screenwriter, and best actor and actress, and they are all awarded directly, and there is no selection process.
However, the Organizing Committee of the Golden Image Awards finally persevered year after year, showing the world the confidence and aesthetics of Xiangjiang films and inspiring film workers.
As the most popular Kung Fu actress at that time, Hui Yinghong became the first actress of the Academy Awards with her ever-changing performance in "The Elders".
Born in a run-down aristocratic family in the Zhenghuang Banner of the Qing Dynasty, he sold chewing gum in Wanchai Flower Street since he was a child. At this time, his monthly salary in Shaw's was still only 500 yuan.
When she accepted the award, she thought: "It would be great if this trophy could be exchanged for money."
The identity of a beating girl also imprisoned her career, so that she was depressed for a long time afterwards. After adjusting her mentality, she struggled to start from the beginning, and it took more than 20 years to stand on the podium of the Academy Awards
Xu Guanwen, the first winner of the Golden Image Award, is a well-known comedy artist in Hong Kong and the most outstanding superstar after Li Xiaolong. His election is well deserved.
He once had a famous saying at the Golden Horse Awards, "A man who has been married for more than 20 years must have good acting skills", which was later interpreted by Feng Xiaogang as "Anyone who has been divorced cannot be a movie king."
The best actor gave comedians, and the queen gave hit girls. The judges of the Academy Awards showed extraordinary vision, but their favorite was the New Wave. For several years since the first edition, the most important awards, Best Film and Best Director, were both Whispered New Wave.
Since its inception, the Golden Image Awards have focused on the local market and industry. Relying on the huge success of Xiangjiang Films and its fair and open-minded attitude, it will quickly overtake the Golden Horse Award, which is 20 years older than it, and become the most important award in the Chinese film world. And many years later, with the decline of Hong Kong films, the influence of the Academy Awards has also shrunk rapidly. It can be said that there are successes and failures. .
