Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"Rebirth of intoxicating fragrant river ()"

PS: I'm really sorry for the month-long break.

My wife had a baby, and was hospitalized for ten days before and after the cesarean section. The child abo hemolysis, high jaundice and anemia, born the next day was admitted to the neonatal unit, incubator in the blue light, lived for more than 20 days just discharged.

Because of the hospitalization, I basically spent the month in the car. Although the wife was discharged after ten days, the child in the NICU people are not allowed to visit.

But I did not dare to leave the hospital, and dare not go home. Afraid that people have something to do with the hospital.

Well, after so many days of anxiety, the child was finally discharged.

I came back to rest for two days and finally coded this chapter after a month.

I'd like to thank all of you who have stayed with me.

Thank you for your continuous support.

Thank you !!!!!!

While writing the book Nanjing Massacre - The Forgotten Shoah of World War II, Qiao Feng was also in charge of the general direction of the preparation of the new film festival.

For example, the shape and name of the trophy for the new festival.

For example, the rules of selection.

The rules for the screenings.

And so on.

Especially the shape and name of the trophy.

International film festivals, film awards, selection rules, screening rules are different, but basically the same.

So, in these areas even if it is copied, no problem.

But the shape of the trophy is no way to copy.

Not only can not copy, the shape must also be well thought out, not just get one.

Qiao Feng's goal is to go to the international A-class film festival.

So, compared to the international class A film festivals, the general award shape is divided into two kinds, one is the use of animals, such as the Venice International Film Festival is the lion, the highest award is the Golden Lion Award, and the Berlin International Film Festival is the Golden Bear Award, the same as the four major European film awards Locarno International Film Festival is the Golden Leopard Award. And the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan is also the same.

The other is some kind of local iconic object or plant, such as the Cannes International Film Festival is the palm leaf, the Golden Palm. The Pyramid Award at the Cairo International Film Festival, the Golden Peacock Award at the Indian International Film Festival, etc.

There is still a lot of controversy about the shape of the trophy for the new festival, most of them think it should be an animal, an animal with Chinese characteristics, the most popular one is the Golden Dragon Award, and some people propose to call it the Golden Panda Award or the Golden Monkey Award.

There are also a lot of proposals to use objects as shapes, such as the Golden Bottle Award, the Golden Sinan Award, and the Golden Tripod Award.

All are representative of the country's animals or artifacts.

But these were all denied by Qiao Feng.

Seems most appropriate Golden Dragon Award is the most undoubtedly rejected.

Because it is to run an international film festival.

If only Chinese people or people from Southeast Asian countries participate, it is called the Golden Dragon Award is no problem at all.

Because the pan-Chinese community understands that the dragon is a sacred animal, is a symbol of dignity, status.

The Golden Dragon as the shape of the award is quite a reflection of the preciousness of the award.

But the participation of Europeans and Americans is not so appropriate.

Because Europeans and Americans do not have a good sense of the dragon.

In the pan-Chinese circle, the dragon is a symbol of dignity and status.

In the European and American circles, the dragon is a symbol of evil, violence, greed.

Do you think it's bad for them to give a European or American a Golden Dragon Award?

Yes.

Then the image of the festival can still be good?

Definitely not good.

Therefore, the Golden Dragon Award was the first to be ruled out by Qiao Feng.

Then the rest are either rare animals unique to China, or cultural relics that represent our cultural history.

Seems to be very representative of the country.

But it is precisely because of this, these options are denied by Qiao Feng.

Because Hong Kong has not yet returned, and the location and history of Hong Kong and these rare animals and artifacts do not have much to do with.

What Qiao Feng wants is the shape of the trophy is to represent the image of Hong Kong.

In later times, the

Many people will say it is Cantonese.

Many would say the movie.

Many will say it is the variety of want to eat.

Many will say it is the prosperity of a cosmopolitan city.

Wait .....

Among them, the Golden Bauhinia Square, the Bauhinia flower will be often mentioned.

This is because the Bauhinia is the city flower of Hong Kong.

After Hong Kong's return to China, the Bauhinia flower was used as the design of the district emblem, district flag and coins, and a golden Bauhinia sculpture was given to Hong Kong by the Central Government and placed in the Golden Bauhinia Square, which is a gold-plated statue with a shiny golden appearance and a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

The national and regional flags are raised at 8:00 a.m. every day, and the national anthem is played, attracting a large number of visitors to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

For this reason, the trophy was designed as a blossoming Bauhinia flower.

In this way, the new film festival not only refers to the international film festival of Hong Kong, but also echoes the Golden Bauhinia sculpture presented by the government later.

It was also more meaningful than the other shapes.

Therefore, after Qiao Feng proposed the zinnias as the trophy pattern, everyone unanimously said that this is the best.

As for the sincerity of a few of them, who cares.

"Europe, we have sent out a lot of invitations, most of them have cooperated, basically said they will participate. "This day, McDonald Bear came to Qiao Feng to talk about the progress of the film festival.

To make an influential film festival, then it is essential to have a large number of participants, participants from various countries and regions.

Why are the three major European film festivals so powerful?

Because they have influence.

How do they get their influence?

Because every year, they participate in the film festival selection of more films, and can also be more big names.

Later, why the Golden Horse Awards than the Hong Kong Golden Film Awards?

Because the Golden Horse Awards are not as big barriers as the Golden Film Awards.

The Golden Horse Awards must require a certain percentage of Hong Kong investment or actors and actresses to participate in the selection.

The Golden Horse Awards, as long as the Chinese language films can participate.

One is to turn away many works, one is a wide range of guests, you can imagine that people will prefer to pay attention to which.

Especially after the decline of Hong Kong cinema, the Golden Horse Awards has become the most important and authoritative Chinese language film awards.

Of course, not after the Golden Horse Awards themselves to death.

Qiao Feng understands this, so after listening to McDonald's words he was very happy.

"You use a lot of favors, right? "Qiao Feng smiled and asked.

"It's okay, the European side agreed to come more for our market, for your influence, Mr. Qiao. They want to sell the film not only to Hong Kong, but also to the United States through MGM. "McDonald Bear modestly waved his hand and said.

McDonald Bear knew why Joe Summit invited himself to participate in the preparation of the new film festival.

That's what it's all about.

Qiao Feng also knows that McDonald knows why he asked him to invite European film colleagues to participate in the upcoming first Hong Kong International Film Festival.

It is because of his network in Europe.

Who makes McDonald Bear not only a film talent, but also a bull in distribution.

He opened his own film company to make films, not only to make money and also to win awards.

But he felt that he earned less. The previous cooperation with Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, at most to Southeast Asia around the distribution a little.

European and American markets are completely unable to enter.

So, he simply do it himself.

Personally take the film to Cannes, Milan and the Asian Film Festival and other major film festivals to promote, to open distribution channels.

And it really worked.

The first time he took the film out, he sold the rights to more than eighty countries and regions.

Compared to the European film distributors and distribution companies that Qiao Feng knows, the smaller independent film distributors and distribution companies that McDonald knows have less influence, but add up to more popular.

Never mind the quality of the films that will come to the festival, at least there are enough films to participate.

Then the scale goes up, there is still fear of influence is not enough?

This is the first time, still need to invite.

When many people have sold their rights in the festival, the second one next year, even if they are not invited, they will come.

As for not selling the rights ......

Oh, not bad money, right.

Qiaofeng himself spend money to buy it.

Thousands of gold to buy horse bones.

However, this kind of thing can not just pay for themselves.

Hong Kong International Film Festival, look at this name.

This is to help Hong Kong expand its influence, okay.

As the beneficiary, the current ruler, the British Hong Kong government and your Queen, you have the nerve to just get the benefits and not pay at all?

"Go back to the government, preferably directly to the Governor of Hong Kong, so that he can use his contacts to help find more British, European counterparts to share the occasion. "
