Gong Li's peasant woman in "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" always asked the village chief to "give an explanation", and the central axis of the movie was to "seek justice." The aftermath of the
51 Golden Horse Awards did not expect that it happened to Gong Li, and it was spoken by Gong Li’s agent Zeng Jingchao. I was a little surprised by this aftermath, but it is understandable.
Gong Li's defeat in the Golden Horse Awards this year is a "non-war crime". Her most peak work was that the Golden Horse Awards could not be received due to the rules of the competition. Now mainland actresses who debut later than her are Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Qin Hailu, and Li Xiaolu are already Golden Horse Awards. Lu Liping, Chen Chong, and Tang Wei are also Golden Horse Awards. Gong Li, as an international superstar, sat in the Golden Horse Awards for the first time this year like a freshman, and finally applauded for others. Maybe she wants the Golden Horse Awards to "give an explanation" or "seeking justice."
Gong Li, as the first world-class superstar in the Chinese film industry to be recognized by the three international film festivals, her love and hate for the Golden Horse Awards this year should be analyzed in depth, and the reason should be from the historical evolution of the Golden Horse Awards and the current jury system questioned by Zeng Jingchao. These two things seem to be different, but they are actually related.
Gong Li and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's peak collaborations are like "Ju Dou", "Qiu Ju Fighting", "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High", and "Farewell My Concubine". They were unable to compete for the Golden Horse Awards due to the rules of the game. Not to mention the Golden Horse Awards, the Juxian she played in "Farewell My Concubine" was easy to win the Cannes Best Actress. Unfortunately, the jury suggested that she could only get one movie, and finally gave it to the Palme d'Or.
Gong Li missed the Golden Horse Awards historical evolution, which caused her early defeat with the Golden Horse Awards. This year, Gong Li came to the Golden Horse Awards for the first time and sat in the audience's quasi-film queen seat waiting for the lottery. This beautiful regret that was missed due to film history should be mentioned or greeted in a more respectful way before the lottery was drawn, but no matter the award presentation script, host, or even the award presenter, he did not think of this.
result is replaced by the host of Star Avenue "Then you have to win the award first" or the heroine said to Gong Li before the heroine was revealed, "I will present the award this year and win the award next year". These may be unintentional to the speakers, but they will make Gong Li's listeners intentionally "harsh" sounds.
If Gong Li’s status as a famous Chinese actress on the podium today is given a respectful definition first, perhaps the award list will be announced later, and her emotions will be comforted by balance and will not have a greater reaction.
Chen Xiangqi performed outstandingly this year's "Return Sonata". When the heroine was awarded, the award script did not remind Gong Li or the audience in time. Faced with Gong Li's international status, Chen Xiangqi was also a respectable opponent, because in 1994, the two competed for Zhang Yimou's "Living" and Yang Dechang's "Independence Era" respectively, and at the same time competed for the Cannes Film Festival. In other words, Chen Xiangqi's qualifications are not light, and she has been teaching performing arts in college after being trained by two masters, Yang Dechang and Cai Mingliang.

Let’s talk about the review system again. The Golden Horse Awards ceremony began to be broadcasted on TV, which imitated the American Oscars. Therefore, the awards are set like the Oscars’ fine industry awards. It has won the reputation of “Oscars in the Chinese film industry” for many years, but I think most of the shortlisted or award-winning films are not released in Taiwan, and the small jury system should be renamed “Cannes in the Chinese film industry.”
This should also be the question of Gong Li or Zeng Jingchao's 17-person review system. First of all, the mismatch between Gong Li and the Golden Horse. If a review system has historical heritage, such as the Oscars are industrial voting, the voters will consider more factors. For example, although an actor does not perform the best this year, he is due to his qualifications or contributions to the time he should win the award, it will cause the voters to consider subjectively and objectively.
I previously predicted that the heroine was Chen Xiangqi, but I said that if the jury thought Gong Li should have won the Golden Horse long ago but had not won the Golden Horse Award, the award was commended to her for the belated glory, but it was obvious that the Golden Horse Award was not an Oscar. The Golden Horse judges who formed different elements would not have such a mindset every year.The Golden Horse Awards model is imitated by the Oscars, but the jury has changed year by year. The judges only talk about films based on the works of that year. If Gong Li's phenomenon occurs at the Oscars and the Actors Union votes on a large scale, there may be peers willing to support her. Secondly, the small review system can indeed be flawed in the award. In the end, Chen Xiangqi narrowly won with one vote, which means that only 9 of the 17 jury supported Chen Xiangqi and 8 voted for Gong Li. In this way, the representative value of the votes was too small and the error value was too large. In other words, if the 17 review lineups are replaced, a completely different list of winners may appear.
5 The heroine was shortlisted for the film. I was the first to watch "The Sonata of Return" and guessed that Chen Xiangqi would win the Golden Horse Best Actress. Even though I watched Zhao Wei's "Dear" and Gong Li's "Return", my acting skills were both exciting and touching, but my original intention of betting on Chen Xiangqi has not changed.
"Return to Light" is an independent production art film with few dialogues. In the past, Taiwan's new directors were often dull and boring. However, because of the new director Qian Xiang's photographer, "Return to Light" has a fascinating charm in the aesthetics of quiet posthumous aesthetics. This charming hero mainly comes from Chen Xiangqi who performed from beginning to end. She integrates the emotional experience of life and life, and the foundation of learning and teaching performance art, the film is not her. Looking at the current Taiwanese film industry, there is no second person to be able to perform.
But I respect Gong Li after all. I first interviewed the Cannes Film Festival in 1992. Walking on the streets of Cannes, France or other countries who love to watch movies come to Cannes to make pilgrimage. When I saw me (Chinese) I shouted "Gong Li! Gong Li!" at me. That is the pride of Chinese filmmakers, the pride of Chinese, and the picture I will remember for the rest of my life.
