Chapter 671: Benchmarking the Oscars: China has a Little Golden Dragon
"Breaking news! The Golden Dragon Awards project team has officially been established. It's held every two years, comparable to the Oscars..."
"The Golden Dragon Awards have officially launched, and the China Film Art Committee has officially been established..."
"The Golden Dragon Awards have been selected for Zhucheng, and Zhucheng is aiming to become the Hollywood of the East..."
"The Golden Dragon Award trophy is made of pure gold..."
The news of the sudden attack flooded the Chinese Internet.
China is creating the Golden Dragon Awards, a rival to the American Academy Awards. It is also establishing the China Film Arts Organizing Committee, which will oversee the selection of future awards.
The members of the organizing committee are not fixed, and there are many of them. The selection process is also very strict. At the same time, the process is open and transparent and subject to everyone's supervision.
As for Qingyao Group's sponsorship, the idea is good. However, this time the government did not allow Qingyao Group to sponsor the event. Instead, it directly activated a special fund, which was allocated directly by the national cultural department.
This was also to ensure the greatest fairness, but the award was held in Zhucheng. The venue for the award ceremony was tentatively set to be the Qingyao Group's studio.
Because Qingyao Group's studio is currently the largest and most technologically advanced studio in the world, holding the awards ceremony there is also a deliberate national favoritism towards Qingyao Group, hoping to increase its influence.
However, Qingyao Group's influence is not absent; many members of the Qingyao Group are on the organizing committee. However, in the future, this award must ensure the greatest possible fairness, only then can it convince more people.
The award format was inspired by some of the Oscars, but the scope is much broader, as the Golden Dragon Award is not restricted to a specific country, but rather to a specific language.
This language is Mandarin. As long as a film is in Mandarin, regardless of its country of origin, it can be considered for the Golden Dragon Awards. For films in languages other than Mandarin, there is a Best Foreign Language Film award.
The awards are divided by language and culture. The selection process is held every two years, with the shortlist announced in October and the final awards ceremony held in December.
The news was widely discussed, and countless Chinese netizens also discussed it excitedly.
"Great, there's finally an authoritative award..."
"That's right. I hope this award can be fairer and not become a tool for certain people..."
"I agree with this award, but the bigger picture is needed. Whoever is richer will win..."
"We'll see..."
"I can't compete with the Oscars in a short period of time, but I hope to become stronger and bigger..."
"Benchmarking against the Oscars is a good thing. We need to expand our influence..."
Chinese netizens were discussing the matter. There was anticipation, but also doubt, and mostly concern. They worried that the Golden Dragon Award would become a private domain for certain individuals. After all, China had its share of so-called awards before, but the works selected for some of them were truly laughable.
This time, many people dare not expect too much.
But people in the industry saw something different, because many people knew who was pushing for the Golden Dragon Award and what the purpose was.
So they knew this time, the game was serious. As for interest groups, no matter how big they were, could they be as big as Qingyao Group? Qingyao Group was pushing this from a broader perspective, aiming to make China's film industry bigger and stronger. It was about expanding the entire pie, not just grabbing pieces of the pie.
So whoever breaks the rules will probably face an outcome that some people won't see.
In Zhucheng, Secretary Zhao was the first to get the news. He was very happy after receiving the news. With the Golden Dragon Award settled in Zhucheng, every Golden Dragon Award ceremony would be a grand event.
Don't underestimate an award; it has a huge impact. With the Golden Dragon Award, perhaps in the future, when people talk about movies, they will think of the Golden Dragon Award, and when they think of the Golden Dragon Award, they will think of Zhucheng.
This is just like when people in the United States talk about movies, they think of the Oscars and Hollywood.
The influence is subtle and hard to see in a short period of time, but over time, the impact is huge.
"Mr. Su, thank you..."
Secretary Zhao called Su Yang to express his gratitude, because he knew how much effort Qingyao Group had put into this matter.
The competition for settling in a city is very fierce. If it weren't for Qingyao Group, Zhucheng would not even be able to get involved.
But now, it is precisely because Qingyao Group is located in Zhucheng that Zhucheng has become the final winner. The Golden Dragon Award is not aimed at Zhucheng, but at Qingyao Group.
"Secretary Zhao, you're welcome. This is what we should do. Our Qingyao Group is a Zhucheng enterprise. Only when Zhucheng is doing well will our Qingyao Group do well..."
Su Yang's words made Secretary Zhao laugh.
This is a golden phoenix. No one had expected that Qingyao Group would grow so quickly.
Now, Qingyao Group not only has its own headquarters, but is also planning to build a 10,000-acre amusement park, Qingyao College, and Suyang Charity School. Influenced by Qingyao Group, Sony is also planning to build a branch in Zhucheng, and other domestic entertainment companies have also begun to move into Zhucheng.
This is the siphon to win, with the rise of Qingyao Group, the influence is more than that. Many other surrounding factories have also increased.
For example, toy factories, figurine factories, and so on. Zhucheng's industrial park is seeing a growing number of these places, with many factories receiving orders directly from Qingyao Group. This indirect boost to employment and GDP is also significant.
After talking with Su Yang for a long time, Secretary Zhao hung up the phone and couldn't help humming a little tune. He was in a good mood and good things happened one after another.
Zhucheng has now prioritized the cultural industry as its primary support sector. At the same time, some related industries have begun to relocate. This is especially true of highly polluting industries, which were originally scarce in Zhucheng, but the few that remain are now being relocated.
Tourism and cultural industries have become key areas of support, while the quality of urban services and infrastructure are also constantly improving.
The name "Oriental Hollywood" is more than just talk; its reputation needs to be built up slowly. Meanwhile, Secretary Zhao is also considering how to plan something to increase Zhucheng's influence and boost tourism. After all, it will take some time for Qingyao Paradise to be completed.
Since it is the Hollywood of the East, we must create some unique things. Let everyone who comes to this city feel this cultural atmosphere at a glance.
Secretary Zhao fell into deep thought, and suddenly raised his head and saw a toy on his desk, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Characteristics, what are the characteristics? This thing may be the characteristics, and this kind of characteristics may not be seen in other cities!
