Millennium director

The Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is the oldest film award in Chinese-language films.

In 1962, the Golden Horse Awards held its first awards ceremony in Taipei. Since then, this award has become the most authoritative award for Chinese-language films.

It was not until the 1980s, when the Golden Rooster and Hong Kong Island Film Awards were established one after another that the pattern of three Chinese-language gold medals was formed.

This year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held at the Keelung Cultural Center.

In terms of starlight, the starlight of the Golden Horse this year is indeed much brighter than that of the Golden Rooster.

The crew of "Kung Fu", the crew of "A World Without Thieves", the crew of "Initial D", the crew of "The Finest Time", the crew of "Seven Swords", the crew of "A Thousand Cups of Tea", the crew of "Dragon City", "The End of the World" The crew of "A Cloud"...

From mainland China's Feng Xiaogang, Ge Ge, Bao Qiang, Chang Chen, Hu Jing, to Hong Kong's movie kings such as Simon Yam, Tony Leung, Goo Jai, Andy Lau, Zhang Jiahui, as well as local Taiwanese actors.

It can be said that Golden Horse truly brings together outstanding actors and directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, with a star-studded cast.

To be honest, before the Golden Horse incident, this award was indeed the fairest among the Chinese film awards, with the least impact from off-site factors.

And fairness often brings authority.

Compared with the Golden Rooster and Golden Statue that are popular in small circles, the Golden Horse is really as long as it is a Chinese-language film, and it can win awards based on the excellence of the content itself.

Even these award-winning films may not be released in Taiwan.

There are indeed many Taiwanese filmmakers who like disgusting people.

Taiwan's film review department also loves to block some mainland movies and does not allow some mainland movies to be released in Taiwan.

But the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards were really well done.

After arriving in Taipei, Wu Yuan followed the person who came to pick him up and Director Feng to transfer to Keelung, a relatively well-known city in Taiwan.

In Keelung, he met other actors and directors who came to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

"Brother Hua, it's our first time meeting you." Dragging his tired body, Wu Yuan walked towards Liu Dehua who was standing in the hotel lobby waiting for him with a smile on his face.

Among the actors in Hong Kong, Wu Yuan still admires Andy Lau more.

No one else, he is dedicated and clean, he never does anything wrong, and he is also willing to support the younger generations.

His contribution to the new Asian director project deserves to be remembered by the mainland director circle.

He was still waiting for him in the lobby at three o'clock in the morning, how could Wu Yuan turn a blind eye.

"Director Wu, I've finally met you." Liu Dehua smiled, shook hands with Wu Yuan, and said with emotion, "Both Brother Cheng Long and Leslie have mentioned you to me."

"Wow, they admire you very much, and I admire you very much after hearing this."

"I wonder if I will have the chance to work with Director Wu once."

"Of course!" Wu Yuan smiled, held Liu Dehua's hand with his backhand, and replied seriously: "If there is a suitable role, I will definitely contact Brother Hua as soon as possible."

"With such an excellent actor, I believe there is no director who wouldn't want to work with him."

In recent years, Andy Lau is still very good at the box office. If there is a suitable commercial film, Wu Yuan would certainly be willing to cast him.

There are some films that are really suitable to be taken to Hong Kong Island and then shot with some Hong Kong Island actors.

Yes, I’m talking about Korean gangster or crime-themed movies.

It has always been Wu Yuan's purpose to harvest the wool of Japanese and Korean movies.

Movies such as "New World", "Alone", "Crime City" and "Veteran" will definitely not be censored if they are shot in the mainland, but they can be made into Hong Kong films and then released in Hong Kong Island, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

On the one hand, it is to increase the influence of Chinese-language films in Asia, and on the other hand, these films are really profitable. They are all commercial films with a box office of over 100 billion won.

For this kind of movie, actors such as Simon Yam, Andy Lau, and Louis Koo are very suitable.

The smile on Wu Yuan's face became more sincere, "Brother Hua, if someone comes to you for cooperation in the future, don't refuse."

"Definitely not!" Liu Dehua said cheerfully.

After resting for a few hours, Wu Yuan got up again at around 10 o'clock in the morning, and together with the crew members, he accepted the instructions from the makeup and hair teacher.

At this year's Golden Horse Awards, "Love" was shortlisted for a total of five awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

Among them, the best drama film will compete with "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves", "The Finest Days" and "Dragon City".

For the best director, you need to compete with Johnnie To, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Sing Yeh.

If you only look at the artistic value of the movie itself, then "Love" is definitely the movie with the highest artistic value, and the most profound and philosophical one.

However, the selection of the Golden Horse has never been entirely based on art. The Golden Horse is also judged on commercial value.

In terms of commercial value, "Love" cannot be compared with "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu".

Wu Yuan couldn't guarantee that he would definitely win the award.

But it is precisely this uncertainty that makes Wu Yuan look forward to this year's Golden Horse Awards.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Yuan, who put on a simple suit, took You Benchang, Wu Yanshu, and Gong Li into the organizing committee's welcome car.

Wu Yuan's little girlfriend did not come. Her role in "Love" was not important, just more than a guest appearance.

If it were the world's top film festival like Cannes, I would definitely drop all the work at hand to go and have a good time.

That's not the case with Jinma. He still puts his own work first.

"Next on the red carpet are the crew of "A World Without Thieves" from the Mainland!"

"Let us welcome them with applause!"

"..."

"Next on the red carpet are the cast and crew of "Dragon City" from Hong Kong Island!"

"Let us welcome them with applause!"

"..."

Sitting in the welcome car, feeling the speed of the car, and listening to the driver's broadcast of the outfield host's dispatches, time passed by little by little.

A total of 73 films were submitted for this year's Golden Horse Awards, and 29 films were shortlisted. In total, less than 30 crew members walked the red carpet.

The crew of "Love" was arranged to appear relatively late. After all, this is the film that won the Cannes Jury Prize.

At a little after 5:30 in the afternoon, Wu Yuan and others finally took the welcome car and arrived at the "Avenue of Stars" outside the Keelung Cultural Center.

Open the door and get out of the car.

Wu Yuan ignored the shouts of reporters exploding in his ears and the sound of flashlights. He reached out to the car very gentlemanly and helped Gong Li, who was in the same car, out.

It is really not easy for female celebrities to walk on the red carpet. If you step on the sky high, if you are not careful, you will fall on the red carpet and cause a red carpet accident.

"Director Wu, look over here!"

"Director Wu, smile!"

"Director Wu, what are your expectations for today's award ceremony?"

"Director Wu, do you think "Love" can win the best feature film today?"

Listening to the soft voices of the reporters in his ears, the corners of Wu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Not to mention, the reporters here in Taiwan have really nice voices!

"Next on the red carpet are the crew of "Love" from Mainland China!"

Red carpet host Huang Zijiao announced the curtain with excitement.

"'Love' is a new film directed by Wu Yuan, a well-known mainland director and an international first-line director."

"This film won the Jury Prize at the 58th Cannes International Film Festival and is the biggest favorite to win the Golden Horse Awards tonight!"

"Let us give the warmest applause to welcome director Wu Yuan and actors You Benchang, Wu Yanshu, and Gong Li!"

With his head held high and his chest held high, Wu Yuan held Gong Li on his arm and confidently stepped onto the red carpet, killing countless films in an instant.

The number of words in this article is a bit short, so I’ll make up for it in the next chapter.
