"Mr. Zou is really meticulous and thoughtful. I think there's no problem." Cheng Bosheng of "Film Biweekly" nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, after everyone discussed the details of the Academy Awards selection, the tone of the Academy Awards was basically set. They only had to wait for the selection of an auspicious day next year to officially kick off the Academy Awards.
"We can now promote the Academy Awards and let the entire Hong Kong and entertainment industry know about this grand event.
A few of us arranged several TV interviews and newspaper interviews to spread the news of the Academy Awards.
Who hosts and selects the jury for each Academy Awards? Zou Wenhuai's eyes sparkled with excitement, his voice filled with anticipation for the upcoming event.
This last link is the key that they all want to get.
After all, the Academy Awards is not only a recognition of the achievements of the film industry in the past year, but also an important event that sets the trend for the film industry. The composition of the host and jury of each Academy Awards is directly related to the authority and influence of the awards.
"If one of us monopolizes the Academy Awards every year, the others will definitely be dissatisfied.
In my opinion, starting next year, we should draw lots to decide the host of the Academy Awards every year.
In addition, the jury selected for the Academy Awards has been partial and corrupt, causing unfairness and injustice, and even arousing widespread doubts and dissatisfaction among the public. This will cause irreparable damage to the reputation of the Academy Awards, which is like killing the chicken to get the eggs.
Therefore, I propose that if this phenomenon occurs, the person who hosted the Academy Awards that year will not be given the opportunity to host the next round, and if it happens more than three times, his/her hosting qualification will be permanently revoked.
Before being selected, the jury chairperson and jury members must undergo strict screening and public supervision to ensure their fairness and impartiality.
This will not only maintain the fairness of the Academy Awards, but also make the judging results more convincing to those in and outside the industry." Shao Yifu's words were resounding, and it was clear that he had carefully considered this proposal.
Everyone present nodded in agreement with Shao Yifu's proposal.
After all, the fairness and authority of the Academy Awards are the bottom line that they all protect, and any behavior that undermines this bottom line is intolerable.
After everyone agreed, the Academy Awards were finally confirmed, and the award ceremony will be held on a date to be chosen next year.
........。
After early April, Zou Wenhuai, Shao Yifu, Cheng Bosheng and the presidents of several major associations took turns to appear on Jade Channel, ATV, Ming Pao and Film Fortnightly for interviews and reports on the Hong Kong Film Awards Festival to be held next year, where various film awards will be presented.
In addition, the names of various awards they discussed were also published.
This has led to major film companies, producers, directors, actors and movie fans discussing the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards with anticipation and curiosity.
It seemed to be a hit before it even aired. Artists and fans were arguing endlessly, and the entire Hong Kong film industry was engulfed in this craze.
"Invite me to be the chairman of the jury for the first Academy Awards? That's no problem.
How many jury members did you invite? "That day, Zou Wenhuai personally came to Haikuotiankong Films to invite Zhang Qiurui to serve as the chairman of the first Academy Awards jury. Zhang Qiurui was not surprised.
These days, both in China and Hong Kong, people tend to admire foreign countries. I have won major awards at the three major foreign film festivals, and not just one, but also produced an international film queen. If the Hong Kong Academy Awards is compared with the three major foreign film festivals, I am the best choice to be the chairman of the jury for the first Academy Awards.
“In addition to you, Mr. Cha, Zheng Guojiang, Huang Nian, Ni Kuang, Cai Lan, Di Long, Hong Jingbao, and Mr. Shao will also be invited as backup candidates.
The jury chairperson has three votes and absolute say, while the other jury members only have one vote and the power to make recommendations. Zou Wenhuai explained the jury's composition and respective powers to Zhang Qiurui in detail.
Zhang Qiurui nodded slightly, a flicker of approval in his eyes. "This is a great lineup, with directors, actors, lyricists, composers, and writers—all well-known figures from various fields."
I’m actually looking forward to the first Hong Kong Film Awards.”
"Director Zhang, when will we set off for Cannes?" Zou Wenhuai had a premonition that the major awards at the first Academy Awards would help Zhang Qiurui.
Because the Academy Awards were not only proposed by Zhang Qiurui, but he also promoted the progress of the Academy Awards through his own hands.
She shot two films last year, one of which won a grand prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and the second was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes. Her chances of winning an award are very high. If the Hong Kong Film Awards were comparable to the three major foreign film festivals, then she would basically sweep all the awards at the first Academy Awards, and others would only be able to get some trophies.
Zou Wenhuai had an indescribable complex mix of emotions about this result.
He is proud of Zhang Qiurui's outstanding achievements, but also worried that such a situation will cause dissatisfaction and criticism within the industry. You say it is unfair, but she is awarding awards at the three major international film festivals.
Is this fair? Since almost no one else won anything, the credibility of this award is probably being questioned.
"Mr. Zou, I can cooperate at any time for the trip to Cannes." Zhang Qiurui didn't know what Zou Wenhuai was thinking, and seemed quite looking forward to the upcoming trip to Cannes.
"Okay, I'll let Director Zhang know when the time comes."
