Chapter 492 Academy Awards for Motion Picture and Television

Shen Lang never expected that the contract from Paramount would be faxed to him directly the day after the performance.

Not only that, the other party also made inquiries to Tiangong Image for the post-production of this film.

It's amazing.

For a film company of Paramount's level, post-production companies are definitely part of its business scope.

It's a western movie, and there's nothing profound about the post-production. Why give the money to Jia Lan?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

The Coen brothers were thrilled.

At the same time, in the message sent to them, Paramount fully agreed to the Coen brothers' request, not only inviting two Oscar stars to join the film, but also adding an additional $2 million to the filming budget.

Just when the Coen brothers couldn't wait to invite Shen Lang to the United States for filming.

But Shen Lang couldn't leave for the time being.

It turned out that because the Imperial Capital Film Academy invited Shen Lang to be a distinguished professor of the academy, Shen Lang accepted the offer after being persuaded by Kong Jie.

During this period, as a professor at the college, he naturally had to show up at the Imperial Capital Film Academy and teach a few acting classes.

Secondly, he had discussed with Chen Baoguo before the idea of ​​establishing the China Film Academy Awards!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to become a distinguished professor, Shen Lang found the former dean Kong Jie and the current dean Tang Yuzhi.

When the two heard that Shen Lang wanted to use the platform of the Imperial Capital Film Academy to design the Academy Awards, they hit it off.

Finally, Shen Lang called together Mr. Chen Baoguo from the China Television Artists Association, Mr. Li Xuejian from the Film Artists Association, as well as seniors and colleagues in the relevant film industry to hold a meeting to discuss the matter, and finally jointly applied to the relevant departments.

Soon, the higher authorities gave their approval and agreed to establish the China Film and Television Art Academy Awards.

This time, Shen Lang was going to attend the first meeting of the Academy Awards Preparatory Committee!
He is the initiator of this award, so it is natural for him not to be absent.

The Coen brothers also expressed their understanding of this, and finally the two sides agreed that they would go back to prepare for the filming first, and Shen Lang would fly to the United States as soon as he finished his work in China.

Because it is a newly created award and a platform for professional filmmakers to review works, everyone is very enthusiastic about the preparations for the Academy Awards.

The organizing committee's affairs are already numerous and trivial.

After the Coen brothers left, Shen Lang and everyone else worked for more than a month before they came up with a rough outline for the Academy Awards.

At the beginning, everyone wanted to name this award the "Golden X Award".

However, Shen Lang rejected the objections and decided that since he wanted to create a more professional award, he had to distinguish it from those awards starting with its name.

When everyone thought about it, they realized that this was indeed the case.

Finally, the name of "China Film and Television Academy Award" was finalized.

The judges for this award are jointly composed of experts from major well-known film academies across the country and experts from film and television associations.

The awards include Best Film, Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Topic Award.

The China Film and Television Academy Awards Association was also established for this purpose. Its members are composed of film-related personnel in China, and Shen Lang was unanimously elected as the first chairman of the association.

It is particularly important to point out that for the sake of fairness in the award judging, Shen Lang refused funding from relevant departments for the operating funds of this award. Instead, the funds were composed of relevant fees paid by the film companies of the participating films, television licensing fees, and special funding from major film academies.

Although funding may not be abundant at the beginning, it is inevitable that major film academies will use funds to interfere in award judging.

But this is already the most independent professional film and television award in the country, and the one least affected by external interference.

As soon as the Academy Awards Association was established, it has been favored by teachers and professors from major universities, professional film critics, related media practitioners, as well as well as well-known actors and directors.

Applications poured in like snowflakes.

To be honest, people have been fed up with some of the domestic film and television industry awards over the years.

The good movies were just runners-up, while the crappy movies went up to receive awards in a very dignified manner.

This situation is not only found in the Mainland, but also in Taiwan, Hong Kong Island, Macau Island and other places which have suffered from garbage awards for a long time.

As we all see Korean films becoming more and more influential around the world, and Japanese films making small amounts of money but making huge profits, to be honest, responsible filmmakers are getting anxious.

Especially in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong films have been eating leftovers in recent years. This is of course related to the social and economic environment, but isn’t it one of the problems that the positive effect of the Academy Awards has not been brought into play?
Therefore, as soon as the association was established, a number of celebrities including Liu Dehua, Zhang Chenguang, Zhao Wenxuan and others quickly submitted their applications for membership.

The vigorous development of the association made major domestic awards tremble in fear.

Many practitioners clearly feel that an era of great change in China's film and television market is about to come.

The time has come when those "drama scoundrels", "second-generation actors", "ugly children of capitalists" and "professional nagging mothers" will be cleared out of the film and television market.

The first China Film and Television Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for February of the following year, and submissions are now being accepted.

In order to expand the influence, Shen Lang used his influence to invite many foreign films and televisions to participate in the exhibition.

As soon as the news was released, netizens were shocked to realize that the Shen Lang in their minds suddenly became dazed.

In everyone’s mind, Shen Lang used to be a guy who could easily play various villain roles.

Unexpectedly, this guy secretly built such a big business.

"I'm not surprised that Chen Daoming is the chairman of the Film Association, but to be honest, I'm really shocked by Shen Lang's move!"

"In my impression, Shen Lang is still the Chinese people's own whip hero. I don't know when this guy has already become so capable and influential!"

"Have you heard? The actress Lao Bizi who applied to join the China Film and Television Academy Awards has been very active! Yesterday, Zhang Manman said that being able to film with Shen Lang is an experience she will never forget in her life. If she can work with Shen Lang in the association, then she will have no regrets in her life!"

"Is this true? Zhang Manman is not someone who likes to join these organizations!"

"Of course it's true. You probably don't know this, Tang Wei, who had some unpleasantness with Shen Lang last time!"

"Isn't she banned?"

"Yes, she publicly shouted on social media yesterday, saying that she regretted not listening to Shen Lang's advice, and also said that she would like to invite Shen Lang to meet if there is a chance!"

"Lust, Caution! Oh, it ruined her! A woman with such perfect temperament, appearance and figure, if I were Shen Lang, I would give her some help, otherwise, it would be such a pity!"
