Golden Horse, Golden Statue and Golden Rooster are also known as the three major awards for Chinese films, and Dasheng, as a hong Kong film lover, naturally pays the most attention to the Hong Kong Film Awards. Since 1982, it has been successfully held for 37 sessions. Who have been the president of the Hong Kong Film Awards for decades, let's take a look!
1. Hong Zuxing: The 13th-14th
At the beginning of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the scope was relatively small, that is, a gathering of a group of filmmakers, and there was not much financial support, until the establishment of the Academy Awards Association in 1994, there was the first chairman, Hong Zuxing, as a senior filmmaker, was the helmsman of the Academy Awards before, and the first chairman was not to give in.
In Hong Zuxing's tenure, he actively sought financial support and worked hard to make Hong Kong films achieve a combination of business and art, which can be said to be indispensable.
2. Wu Siyuan: The 15th-19th
Wu Siyuan is relatively large, known as the godfather of Hong Kong cinema, and has the highest status in the jianghu. He has achieved very good results in all aspects, such as director, producer, producer, producer, etc., and has excavated and cultivated many film talents. Xu Ke's directorial debut "Butterfly Change" is produced by him, and Jackie Chan's famous works "Snake-shaped Executioner" and "Drunken Fist" are also produced and supervised by his company, and he can be said to be Xu Ke and Jackie Chan's Bole.
The producer of Xingye's famous work "Gamble Saint" is also Wu Siyuan, and Andy Lau's transformation work "Extralegal Request" is also directed and written by him, it can be said that the success of these big names is inseparable from him. When Wu Siyuan was chairman, he used his resources to invite many big stars and some officials to the scene, making the Hong Kong Film Awards gradually become a grand event. It is worth mentioning that Wu Siyuan has also made important contributions to the integration of mainland and Hong Kong films.
3. Jackie Chan: The 20th
Many people know that Jackie Chan was the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, but few people know that he also served as the chairman of the Academy Awards for one term, and is the most famous of all the Presidents of the Academy Awards. It's just that the Academy Awards seem a little unfair to Big Brother, and once upon a time, Jackie Chan's ten nominations were unsuccessful. But for the big brother who has won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in Film, he no longer cares about the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Although Jackie Chan is only the chairman of the Academy Awards for one term, he has aroused criticism. At that time, he called on many people to participate in the Academy Awards, but he could not participate because of his work, and naturally fell into reality. As for not coming to participate, it is mainly because of the rush to shoot "Rush Hour 2". For so many years, Jackie Chan has strongly supported Hong Kong movies and the Academy Awards, and this year he personally adjusted the microphone for Yang Ronglian.
4. Zhang Tongzu: The 21st-22nd
Jackie Chan did not participate in that year, it was entrusted to Zhang Tongzu to do it, and then the chairman's position naturally fell to his head, he directed "Divine Courage Double Cannon Sequel", "Re-fight the Jianghu", "Sharpshooter and Curry Chicken" and other films. In addition, he is also an actor, and he has his presence in many Hong Kong films, such as "New Love", "Sweet Honey", "Super Plan", "Newcomer Skin Lantern" and other films.
The 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards in 2003 should be full of difficulties, first of all SARS, and then the death of his brother Zhang Guorong, which has made many Hong Kong filmmakers helpless, but that year's Hong Kong Film Awards have many points to watch, such as the four kings singing "Love of the Year" on the same stage to pay tribute to their brothers.
5. Wen Jun: The 23rd-25th
During his tenure, Wen Jun actively promoted cooperation with mainland filmmakers, and often invited mainland stars and actors to participate, aiming to seek more ways out for Hong Kong films. Wen Jun himself is a screenwriter, the most famous work is the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series, and he has also supervised the production and planning of "Sunny Days" directed by Jiang Wen.
In addition to being a screenwriter, producer, and director, Wen Jun often makes cameo appearances in some movies, generally in more obscene roles, such as Lu Xiaofeng of "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair". Wen Jun and Wang Jing wear a pair of pants, once saying that the era of Xingye has passed, many partners are against him, and many bosses are reluctant to invest in his movies. As a result, xingye is still the most appealing director in the Chinese film industry, and in recent years, Wenjun seems to have another opinion on xingye, saying that he is a genius, I don't know if this is a recognition?
6. Chen Jiashang: The 26th-34th
Chan Ka-sang, who is currently the longest president of the Academy Awards, has always stressed perseverance, saying that the Hong Kong Film Awards are committed to local films, which have their own positioning and uniqueness. However, Hong Kong films are no longer like in those days, and hundreds of films produced in the past year can do this, but now there are only a few dozen a year, and this insistence seems a bit helpless.
Chen Jiashang initially worked in the Shaw film special effects team, then transformed into a screenwriter, and then to the director, and Xingye cooperated with the "Truant Weilong" series, "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", and Jet Li cooperated with "Jingwu Hero", and Jackie Chan cooperated with "Thunderbolt Fire", and there are classic works such as "Beast Criminal Police", but in recent years, the level has declined seriously, and some time ago, he also announced his relationship with his little girlfriend, looking forward to his early return to the peak!
7. Er Dongsheng: The 35th - Follow-up
Er Dongsheng seems to be the same as his predecessor Chen Jiashang, who also has an element of perseverance and does not think about reforming. And he also showed that the Academy Awards will not expand into Chinese films like the Golden Horse Awards, but will still focus on Hong Kong films.
Xiao Bao Er Dongsheng itself comes from the acting family, the two brothers Qin Pei and Jiang David are also well-known actors, at the beginning Er Dongsheng was also an actor, deeply respected by Chu Yuan, starred in many Gulong novel movies, and later with the reduction of Shaw's production, he began to gradually turn to the director, and the works he directed were of great practical significance, such as "The Legend of the Epileptic Guy" and "Disciple" and other films.
Next year is the time for the change of the Academy Awards, this is no deadline, Er Dongsheng may continue to serve, it is also possible to change, if it is replaced, who else do you think is more suitable? Also, do you think the Hong Kong Film Awards are sticking to it or expanding and integrating outward?
