Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"The winner of the best actor is Liang Jiahui's "Chill"!"

On the evening of April 13th, the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards was held at the Grand Theater of the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

It was Yu Jiajia's first time to participate, and she sat down without any fluctuations, watching a self-entertaining awards ceremony with cold eyes. Why do you say entertain yourself?

Because "Cold War" saved the market, it earned 250 million box office in the mainland and more than 40 million box office in Hong Kong, a double harvest.

This is amazing!

The host Zeng Zhiwei shouted: "We are all one family!"

Wu Siyuan was even more tearful and emotional: "May God bless Hong Kong movies!"

The audience was filled with a tragic atmosphere of immortal Hong Kong movies, as if every time there was a movie with a good reputation at the box office, the Academy Awards would come out like this - but everyone collectively ignored that "Cold War" was invested by Yu Jiajia .

There were quite a few nominations from the mainland for this year's Academy Awards, and only "1942" won the Best Chinese Film Award.

Miriam Yeung won Best Actress with "Chunjiao and Zhiming", "Cold War" is naturally a big hit, has won 7 awards, Leung Ka Fai proclaimed himself emperor four times.

Then the best director award was included in the bag, 8.

When the director was speaking, Miss Etiquette invited Yu Jiajia to attend, and guided her to the backstage, preparing to present the heaviest best film award.

His partner is the chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang.

"Thanks to Boss Yu for bringing the Biweekly back to life..."

Chen Jiashang took the initiative to talk and said: "I started to read the bi-weekly magazine when I first entered the industry, and later it became a must-read every issue. It was a pity when the publication was discontinued. It is a pity that I am not strong enough to help."

"It's a trivial matter! I heard that it was the Academy Award held by the biweekly?"

"Yes, it has been held for about 8 times, and then the Hong Kong Film Awards Association was established. Now the board of directors has 13 industry associations under its jurisdiction, basically covering all practitioners in Hong Kong."

"About how many people?"

"There are only more than 4,000 people left, and there are 20,000 at the peak!"

"Can these 4,000 people start working?"

"It's not that easy. More than half of them have not received a job for several months, and many of them are working part-time."

Chen Jiashang was quite sad, and Yu Jiajia was also very sad. It's great that you don't have the concept of "mobilizing the masses to make revolution"!

After a while, the staff signaled that he was about to appear on the stage.

The two straightened their clothes, and when the music started, they walked out of the backstage, followed by applause. There are also some stars from the mainland to join in, such as Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan, Wen Wen, Jiang Yiyan and so on.

They watched Yu Jiajia come to stand in front of the stage, and when they glanced over, they all felt that she was staring at them, and couldn't help shivering.

In fact, Yu Jiajia couldn't see clearly at all, so she said the lines to Chen Jia:

""Chill" is so popular, is Boss Yu interested in making a second film?"

"Look at the result. If the envelope says "Chill", then I will make the second part."

"Oh? It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

"Okay, let's see who won the best picture award at the 32nd Academy Awards..."

There is no suspense in the tense music, Yu Jiajia revealed the answer: ""Chill"!"

"Wow, boom!"

"Cold War" is also a frequent guest of Hong Kong comprehensive articles. It is often seen that the biggest highlight of this film is that it has broken through the pattern of "cops and robbers" and risen to the political level.

It's a pity that the main creator still can't control the game of the high-level police force.

The first one was great, the second one is just different

Of course, objectively speaking, "Chill" really shines.

A group of main creators came on stage and won 9 trophies, the biggest winner tonight. As the boss, Yu Jiajia also joined in the celebration. Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen sat under the stage, looking at each other across a few seats.

Hong Kong films and 99 Entertainment are indeed bound too deeply, and they must be decoupled as soon as possible.

…………

Yu Jiajia didn't know the strategy of this group of people. After the Golden Statue Award, she immediately invited the leaders and key players of several associations. This was also her biggest purpose of coming to Hong Kong.

There are 13 associations in total.

She didn't look for the Directors Association, she didn't look for the Performing Artists Association, but she found eight associations for screenwriters, photography, action stunts, art, editing, lighting, post-production, and administrative personnel.

The president, vice president, executive committee, these main members add up to 80 people.

Yu Jiajia only knew two of them, one was Wen Jun, the president of the Screenwriters Association, who worked on the "Young and Dangerous" series; the other was Qian Jiale, the president of the Action Stunt Association, which needs no introduction.

The location is in the big dining room of the hotel, the most rude, all good wine and food.

A group of people are in the spirit of not eating for nothing, that is called swallowing mountains and rivers. Few of this group of people are from serious academic backgrounds, they are all trained through hard work, and they are full of quack air.

Wen Jun has the highest status and is obviously the leader. He is more polite and toasted: "Thanks to the boss for entertaining you, I'm laughing...you came to us today, can you speak up if you have anything to say?"

"Also!"

Yu Jiajia smiled, got up and walked to the stage, took the microphone, everyone stopped when they saw this.

"I'm not being polite. Just one thing today. Hugelive needs a large number of movies and TV series to enrich its film library. This kind of work is not shown in theaters or TV stations, but directly on online platforms. I call it big online movies and dramas.

Whatever the subject matter, content, scale, or actors, you can find local or overseas actors, don’t count the quantity, I want as many as I have!

Pattern listen up:

You save projects by yourself, ask me to approve the budget, the single chip is less than 10 million..."

"Is 10 million too little?"

"20 years ago it was more than 10 million!"

"Boss Yu, do you know that a meal of hot pot in Hong Kong costs several thousand dollars?"

As soon as I said this, there was a lot of noise below.

Yu Jiajia amplified the microphone, and the sharp and piercing voice instantly quieted them down.

"As I said, if you don't go to theaters and TV stations, you don't have any revenue pressure. As long as you pass the film within the budget, you will make money.

I know that you all want to make blockbuster movies, but you don't even think about it, how many movies can be squeezed in if there is one movie a year with hundreds of millions?

Millions of movies, 30 movies a year, everyone has something to eat!

Can you understand this account? "

"You are the leaders, so you don't have to worry about not having a job, but what about the people below you? There are more than 4,000 people in 13 associations, and I heard that more than half of them have not received a job for several months!

Don't you think about them? "

"..."

This is so serious that no one dares to jump out and say no.

"Also, the budget is only the most basic, and your films are linked to traffic.

We adopt a 5-minute statistics system. Non-paying members can watch for 5 minutes for free. The more users who watch for more than 5 minutes and the longer the time, the greater the traffic.

I will formulate detailed rules based on the traffic and share the accounts with you.

Still the same sentence, you have no revenue pressure, just make money! ! "
