27 movies, accounting for more than half of the movies selected. It is roughly estimated that the number of movies registered is about 50.
Golden Horse Awards has met you through the list of movies selected. As expected, all of them are Taiwanese movies, with a total of 27 movies. Among them, Zheng Renshuo's five movies were shortlisted, which shows the lack of works.
According to Taiwan’s senior media person Tang Xianglong , this movie that passed the primary election accounted for more than half of the movies that were run for. If Tang Xianglong said it was accurate, it means that only about 50 movies were selected.
No matter whether this data is accurate or not, I feel embarrassed when I see it.
Thinking about the fact that the State Administration of Film just issued a notice that mainland works and directors would suspend participating in the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan. Some media in Taiwan also clamored that "the army of Taiwanese films with the Golden Horse Primary Selection is super powerful." After all, it’s not just a deception. The production and quality of films in Taiwan have declined severely. Without the support of the inland and Hong Kong, the Golden Horse Awards are no different from local awards.
Golden Horse Award, which is unwilling to be entertained by itself, may consider inviting foreign players to support their faces. There is news online that it is actively considering inviting Chinese-language films from Southeast Asia to participate.
There are endless news about foreign players, and there are also people who may invite Hollywood stars to be guests to save face. However, the platform cannot solve the problem of sharp decline in works, so it is more likely to invite Chinese-language movies from Southeast Asia to participate.
But if foreign aid is invited, the topic will be back, where will the money come from? All the four major sponsors of the
Golden Horse Awards have withdrawn their investments. All withdrawals from the investments of the car brands and local airlines in Taiwan mean that the Golden Horse Awards have lost the support of the airlines, so the air tickets and concierge cars of the guests and staff who came to participate will be paid out of their own pockets for the Golden Horse Awards. This fee can also cost tens of millions of NT$4. If you invite Southeast Asian movies to run for the election, you will feel sorry for the organizer's pocket.
The movie "Sader Than Sadness" that has been shortlisted has been often mentioned recently, especially when used to describe the Golden Horse Awards as a "sad story".
However, the organizing committee tried hard to maintain the face and expressed that the sponsorship was still in negotiations, and I don’t know what changes would happen before the end.
To be honest, Southeast Asian Chinese films do not have much influence, and the quality is also of varying quality. I really can't imagine that if you really invite the Southeast Asian Chinese films, it will be a joy or a worry for the Golden Horse Awards.
