However, the Academy Awards had not yet been established in those days.
Therefore, what Zhang Qiurui needs to do now is to seize this opportunity and organize the Academy Awards.
However, as someone from the mainland coming to Hong Kong, it is undoubtedly a difficult task for her to start organizing such a major film festival award, and it requires the promotion of local Hong Kong film companies.
"Director Zhang, what do you mean?" A hint of deep thought flashed in Zou Wenhuai's eyes.
“Hong Kong should also have its own film festival.
At the rate of development of Hong Kong films, it is only a matter of time before Hong Kong's film festival is mentioned, taken seriously, and even held.
"In that case, why don't we take charge of this grand event? Why don't we take this opportunity to take the lead and establish a landmark event for the Hong Kong film industry?" Zhang Qiurui said slowly.
When she saw the contemplation and intention on Zou Wenhuai's face, she understood that Zou Wenhuai had seen the benefits and influence involved.
"Director Zhang mentioned this matter, he didn't just say it verbally, right? Director Zhang, what are your thoughts? Tell me all of them and let me think about them." Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhang Qiurui seriously and said.
He had originally overestimated Zhang Qiurui, but unexpectedly, he still underestimated her ambition, vision and courage.
"Mr. Zou can join forces with Mr. Shao of Shaw Brothers, Cheng Bosheng of Film Fortnightly, members of the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Film Visual Effects Association, and the Hong Kong Film and Television Audio and Video Production Association to jointly organize the Hong Kong Film Festival.
It is called the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is comparable to the Oscars abroad.
The list of nominees for various awards will be selected by a professional jury, and then a second round of professional jury will vote. The model is comparable to that of the three major international film festivals.
As for awards, we could have awards for Best Film, Best Screenwriter, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Action Choreography, Best New Actor, and Best New Director. Zhang Qiurui poured out all his ideas.
“This idea is very bold and forward-looking.
If it can be successfully held, it will not only enhance the international influence of Hong Kong films, but also inspire more filmmakers to create more excellent works. "As Zou Wenhuai listened to Zhang Qiurui's explanation, his brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes.
"This is an arduous task. President Zou needs to coordinate it. It would be best if the initiative could be in our hands." Zhang Qiurui reminded.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, but I'll have to trouble Director Zhang to check for any omissions and fill in the gaps for me when the time comes." Zou Wenhuai patted his chest and agreed.
In the following days, Zou Wenhuai began to prepare intensively. He first contacted Shaw Brothers' CEO, Cheng Bosheng of "Film Biweekly", and the leaders of the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Film Visual Effects Association, and the Hong Kong Film and Television Sound and Picture Production Association.
This is the first time that such a meaningful film festival has been held. The interests and reputation involved are huge, and all parties are arguing for their own interests.
It is difficult to set the tone for the Hong Kong Film Festival all at once.
........。
Zhang Qiurui gave a copy of "The Piano Tuner" to Zou Wenhuai, and after telling him about the Hong Kong Film Festival, he asked Chen Jiaying to take him back to Villa No. 99 in Repulse Bay.
A while ago, Chen Jiaying bought Villa No. 99 in Repulse Bay. The villa occupies a vast expanse, nestled against the mountains and surrounded by lush greenery. No need for transportation, one can immediately enjoy the sea and sunbathing. After dinner, stroll along the beach and watch the sunset – it's like being in heaven.
The design of the villa combines Chinese and Western elements, with both classical elegance and modern simplicity. It has dozens of rooms, a back garden, a basement, and a swimming pool, covering an area of more than 5,000 square feet. Now this mansion can be bought for only one million Hong Kong dollars.
If it were placed in the future, this mansion would cost at least 500 million or 600 million to buy.
After returning to the villa, Zhang Qiurui went back to his room, turned on the computer, and began to prepare for Zhang Guorong's album this year.
This year, Zhang Qiurui plans to write two albums for Zhang Guorong, one in Mandarin and one in a foreign language.
The Mandarin album contains all inspirational songs, and the name of the album is "Chinese".
The first song is "Chinese". In later generations, this song has become a classic that has inspired countless Chinese people.
Whenever the familiar melody sounds, the passionate lyrics are like a powerful force, surging in the hearts of every Chinese.
"Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams are hidden", it sings the long history and profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, making every listener proud.
The second song is "A Loving Family". This song sings about a harmonious family and strong family affection, allowing those who are far away from home to feel the warmth and care of home.
This song is not only a celebration of family affection, but also a call for the beautiful vision of social harmony and national unity.
It tells us that in this vast country, no matter where we are, every Chinese person is a loving family, sharing joys and sorrows, and walking hand in hand on the road of life.
The third song is "Serve the Country with Loyalty", which expresses lofty ambitions and loyalty.
The passionate melody, like the beating of a war drum, inspires the patriotic feelings in the hearts of every Chinese.
The lyrics "The smoke of war rises and I look out over the mountains and rivers" depicts a magnificent historical picture, making people feel as if they are in that era of war, feeling the heroism and tragedy of the emergence of heroes.
