The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was moved and looked at the Film Association and the organizing committee members who currently preside over the three major awards.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Daren's questioning.

Indeed, in recent years, Chinese film and television awards have deteriorated.

It’s no longer pure, no longer about art.

Instead, it has become a stage for certain organizers and funders to gain gilding rewards.

Generally speaking, the three major awards in recent years have largely become commercial.

Of course, there is no way around this!

Regardless of the three major awards, such as Changchun Film Festival, Magic City International Film Festival, or Teito University Film Festival, they themselves do not have the ability to hold awards.

In layman's terms, it means that the award organizing committee has no money.

When major film festivals hold events, they usually first decide on a city to host it, and then select sponsors and funders.

In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

A certain city has gained popularity through the film festival, and its sponsors and funders have also gained fame and expanded their influence.

When it comes to a specific award, if someone from a sponsor or funder is selected, the organizing committee must take it into consideration.

It is difficult to truly balance a bowl of water!

Not only China's film awards, but also film festivals around the world, it is impossible to be completely fair and impartial.

Oscar, Cannes, and Venice, the three most famous international awards, all have survivorship bias as well.

Chen Daren's attack shocked the members of the Film Association and the organizing committees of the three major awards and made them look quite embarrassed.

The leaders on the stage also looked serious. They had no good solution to this problem.

It is difficult to balance art and business at the same time, and the issue of awards has always been a long-standing shortcoming in the industry.

"Everyone can understand that the film festival is partly commercial. After all, it costs a lot of money to hold an award. However, we can't keep pursuing commercialization!"

"Haha, it's a film festival, sit in rows and share the fruits!"

Chen Daren snorted coldly, pursued him fiercely, stared at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards square and pouted with disdain: "As long as your organizing committee can raise the threshold a little bit and filter out those who are cheating, the authority and impartiality of the film festival will not be reduced.

It’s to the point where everyone is shouting and yelling, and everyone is swearing!”

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting became agitated.

Everyone in Fang Ziheng's row looked at Chen Daren with admiration.

Awesome!

Director Chen is awesome!

At this time, Chen Daren looked cold and condescending, as if he was a soldier on the battlefield.

He bit the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee and vowed to get an explanation from them.

As early as last year when he held a work meeting, he wanted to start a rant. At that time, Jia Zhangke and Zhang Weiping teamed up to attack Fang Ziheng, but they did not find a chance for him.

He couldn't miss it this year, he had to take a trip through this muddy water!

swipe

One after another, eyes followed, once again pressing towards the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee.

boom!

A sound of slamming on the table suddenly sounded.

The head of the Film Association, Kang Jianmin, stood up, slapped the table with his palm, glared at Chen Daren and said bitterly: "Old Chen, just say what you say, who the hell are you glaring at!"

Damn it!

Just fire, why are you staring at me?

I'm messing with you!

Kang Jianmin quits.

As the group secretary of the Film Association and an important member of the organizing committee of several consecutive Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, he cannot listen to Chen Daren's one-sided remarks!

Isn't it because the Golden Rooster Awards didn't give you an award for two consecutive years, making your trip in vain? Why are you so angry?

Kang Jianmin secretly scolded Chen Daren for not following the rules.

The movie you made yourself is not good, so why bother blaming the organizing committee?

As if he understood what he was thinking, Daren Chen chuckled: "Old Kang, you don't think that I deliberately caused trouble for the organizing committee because I haven't won an award in two years."

Isn’t it?

In the Golden Rooster Awards phalanx, several people were blushing and glaring at Chen Daren like a god of plague.

Chen Daren was too lazy to look at those items. He turned around and handed over to the leaders at the front desk, saying righteously: "Leader, I, Old Chen, are just a director. I raised the issue of film festival awards today with absolutely no selfish motives and no respect for the person."

“I sincerely hope that in the future our country’s film festivals will become better and better, become more authoritative, and become a world-famous major award, instead of becoming a ridiculously generous pheasant award coerced by some unscrupulous capital!

"

After saying that, he smiled faintly and took his seat peacefully.

At this moment, Chen Daren's literary and artistic atmosphere was overwhelming, like a clear breeze and bright moon, resting between the mountains and rivers.

Bang bang bang.

Thunderous applause broke out.

No matter what Chen Daren's purpose is, his words just now really pointed out the shortcomings of major film festivals and lifted the fig leaf.

Fang Ziheng applauded Chen Daren while secretly analyzing the reasons for his firing.

After much deliberation, I guess it should have been at the 2009 Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony.

At that award ceremony, Lao Chen failed to gain anything, which made the media ridicule him so much that he almost couldn't get off the stage.

In the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards held in Jiangyin last year, "The Orphan of Zhao" was not released and did not participate in the competition.

This year it’s Hefei’s turn to host the event, and given the poor nature of the organizing committee, even if “The Orphan of Zhao” is a candidate, it’s probably going to be a running mate.

Lao Chen took the lead in firing. He was flipping the table. He was not going to play with the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards!

Anyway, Lao Chen is famous and has a high status. Even if the Golden Rooster Award is annoying, it can't do anything to him.

I remember that in 19 years of my previous life, Lao Chen stood on his head and became the director of the jury for the 32nd Golden Rooster Awards.

That year, "Cat Demon" made some achievements, winning the 'Best Art Award' and the 'Best Photography Award'.

I have to say that Lao Chen is quite awesome.

Why don't you give me an award? I'll change my identity and come over to be your leader. You can figure it out on your own!

Fang Ziheng quickly understood the key and was secretly happy.

The applause stopped.

The deputy leader of the Propaganda Department gave a few words to the Film Association, asking major film festivals to stick to their bottom line and set an example for the Chinese film industry.

When the leader spoke, Kang Jianmin, one of the representatives of the Film Association, stood up and expressed his stance, claiming that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards would never be turned into a tool of capital, and that the selection of awards must be open, transparent, fair and just.

The first round of firing is over!

The leader knocked on the microphone, looked at everyone with a smile, and said calmly: "Continue speaking, who will come next?"

swipe

Seven people, Feng Tongtong, Jia Zhangke, Lu Chuan, Jiang Wen, Wu Kebo, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, raised their hands at the same time.

Jia Zhangke and Lu Chuan stood up again, which was particularly eye-catching.

As expected, the leader on the stage still directly called his name.

"Come here, Director Jia. You have won awards overseas many times. It's just time to tell everyone that it belongs to Chinese culture to go overseas better and faster."

"Thank you, leader!"

Jia Zhangke bowed his hand, and in Lu Chuan's helplessness, he started the second round of firing with high spirits.

"Dear leaders and colleagues, if you want to revitalize Chinese-language films and let Chinese-language films go abroad and go global, literary and artistic films are indispensable!"

Jia Zhang sets the tone as soon as he opens his mouth!

Develop literary and artistic films!

Many people frowned and were speechless after hearing this.

Come again!

Lao Jia, why are you so stubborn about literary and artistic films?

Wasn’t it enough that you were criticized by Fang Ziheng last year?

As if he didn't see the expressions of everyone, Jia Zhang was one of the stable ones and said with a serious expression: "After the development of the past year, the film market has shown a vigorous and enterprising attitude. It has a certain box office support. The popularity of literary and artistic films
