Which is better, Golden Rooster or Golden Horse?

Golden Rooster Award, Golden Award and Golden Horse Award are the three most authoritative film awards in China. Because the organizers have different backgrounds and different tastes, which of these three awards has the greatest influence?

this question depends on different historical stages. Because the three film awards have undergone some changes in decades of history.

Let's talk about the Golden Rooster Award, which was founded in 1981. It is an academic film award and represents the official aesthetic taste of literature and art.. The early Golden Rooster Award even said that it was a little old cadre style and meticulous. Because China films paid more attention to art and realism in the 198s and 199s, it can even be said that the box office was basically ignored, so the Golden Rooster Award at that time was relatively pure.

The Golden Rooster Award was also very rigorous at the beginning. In 1981 and 1983, there were even vacancies for the best actor. Of course, this is also because the film production in China was relatively low, and there were naturally fewer fine films.

For example, in 1982, only 96 films were made in China, including some science and education films, not feature films.

After 199s, the Golden Rooster Award has been more and more inclined to the main theme movies. A large number of films with propaganda colors such as Jiao Yulu and Kong Fansen have won the Golden Rooster Award, but their artistic standards have still been maintained. However, this tendency has also brought some controversy to the Golden Rooster Award.

In addition to these, the Golden Rooster Award likes to lay double yellow eggs, which further damages the credibility of the award.

Even after 2, the number of golden rooster awards for double yellow eggs is still relatively high.

In addition, since the merger of the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award in 24, it has been changed to biennialization, and the release time of the film is seriously out of line with the awarding time. This wonderful practice may be even more harmful to the credibility of the Golden Rooster Award.

But the advantage of the Golden Rooster Award lies in the rapid progress of China movies. As can be seen from the above table, after 213, the quality of the Golden Rooster Award-winning films was significantly higher than before. It is precisely because the quantity and quality of China films are gradually improving. With this base, the Golden Rooster Award can calmly pick out the best films.

Moreover, the Golden Rooster Award is becoming more open and inclusive. From 215, the selection scope of the Golden Rooster Award will be expanded to all films that have been released with the Dragon Label. In the long run, the prospect of the Golden Rooster Award will be more promising.

Let's talk about the Academy Awards.

The Golden Awards used to be the most influential film awards for Chinese films. Of course, it was all based on the prosperity of Hong Kong films.

In the golden age of Hong Kong films in 198s and 199s. Hong Kong films sell well in Japan, South Korea and the whole Southeast Asia. Jackie Chan is a typical representative, and his films have far surpassed Hong Kong at the box office in Taiwan Province and Japan.

So it can be said that Hong Kong films were the best films in the whole East Asian cultural circle at that time. Thanks to this box office strength, the gold content of the Hong Kong Film Awards is very high, and it can even be said that the Awards are the Oscars in the East Asian cultural circle.

However, with the decline of Hong Kong films, the Academy Awards also lost its former glory. I have written two articles on this topic before, "Cenozoic fault, is there any future for the Hong Kong Academy Awards?" ",there is not much to expand here.

To put it simply, the Academy Awards are becoming more and more stubborn. Its selection scope is only for Hong Kong films, and it needs to meet two of the following three conditions: 1. The director must be a Hong Kong resident with a Hong Kong permanent identity card; 2. The production company must have a legally registered company in Hong Kong; 3. The staff of at least six work items of the film are Hong Kong residents. Sixteen work items are counted: producer, screenwriter, leading actor, leading actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, new actor, photography, action design, production designer, costume modeling, editing, original movie music, original movie songs, sound effects and visual effects.

If this continues, the Academy Awards will be a dead end, so the current Academy Awards are basically a joke.

then the golden horse award.

The Golden Horse Award is the oldest of the three awards. Founded in 1961, of course, the Golden Horse Award was almost invisible in the early days, which completely reflected the official will of the Kuomintang authorities in Taiwan Province.

Later, the number of films in Taiwan Province Island was really too small. After 198s, the Golden Horse Award basically became the second, and even a supplement. A large number of films and filmmakers who can't win awards at the Golden Horse Awards have their dreams fulfilled. The most typical one is Jackie Chan. He has never won an Academy Award for Best Actor, but in 1992 and 1993, he won the Golden Horse Award.

The taste of the Golden Horse Awards has been changing. In the 198s and 199s, the Golden Horse Awards favored films with outstanding box office results and artistic standards, but after the 21st century, the Golden Horse Awards gradually focused on literary films. In the last 1 years, the Golden Horse Awards mainly focus on recommending literary films, and even exclude high-box-office films. The more niche films, the easier it is to win awards.

At present, there is no geographical restriction in the selection conditions of the Golden Horse Awards, and the selection targets are all Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers. As long as it is in Chinese, for example, Kai Ko's film "goodbye tile city" is a film about overseas Chinese in Myanmar, so it was nominated for the Golden Horse Award.

Therefore, when it comes to the current three gold medals in Chinese, it is impossible to mention the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Horse Award, which form a certain complementarity. The Golden Horse Award favors the minority art cinema, while the Golden Rooster Award tries to balance business and art, both of which have high gold content at present.

However, the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award also have their own problems. The Golden Horse Award is too small, and the Golden Rooster Award is awarded every two years, which makes the award unstable.

China movies are already the second largest market in the world. With the cultivation of a stable market, more and more excellent movies will emerge in China in the future. For example, this year's Operation Red Sea and Dying to Survive are examples of both commercial value and artistic standards, which have aroused extensive social discussions. There are more and more such excellent films, which deserve to be commended by the highest film awards.

After all, the influence of film festivals is entirely based on a large number of excellent films, and there will definitely be an authoritative and influential film festival in China in the future. As for which film festival this is, in fact, Golden Rooster, Golden Statue and Golden Horse all have opportunities, depending on how they will be further transformed in the future.
