The direct result of the award was that Disney discovered the value of the movie. Therefore, the live-action movie of "Mulan" became the first princess movie of the future. It was 10 years ahead of the successful "Mulan" of the future.
"Long, are we going to present the most anticipated Best Actor Award next?" Madonna asked with a smile.
"No." Brother Long shook his head and said, "Actually, we have another award to present!"
"But I remember that the Best Actor Award was presented at this time last year! We don't have any other awards. Are we going to present the Best Film or Best Director Awards in advance? "Madonna asked in surprise.
"No, we are going to present a new award next!" Brother Long smiled and said, "Mr. Jia from the Daqian thinks that the Hua Xia Film Festival will encourage the development of Hua Xia movies to a certain extent. As we all know, Hua Xia movies are still in a difficult situation, and we urgently need more funds. Therefore, Mr. Jia specially proposed to set up an award called 'Best Hua Xia Movie' to encourage the best Hua Xia movies released in 1998. "
"I see!" Madonna nodded. At this time, all the guests of Hua Xia stood up excitedly.
The guests of Hua Xia felt very helpless and bored at the second Golden Dragon Award Ceremony, because almost all the awards were taken by Hollywood and other foreign movies. Hua Xia movies did not even get a single nomination. Was this still a film festival organized by Hua Xia?
However, it was the truth, because Hua Xia did not have a single movie in 1998 that could compete with the international movies. It was normal that Hua Xia movies did not get any awards.
This made the Chinese celebrities who came to participate feel better. Clearly, half of the people present were Chinese celebrities, but in the end, they were all here to be spectators. There was nothing for them. Many celebrities even wanted to leave directly.
Until now, when Brother Long directly announced that Mr. Jia was going to add a 'Best Hua Xia Movie Award', the guests of Hua Xia finally became excited.
The Best Hua Xia Movie Award should be an honor that only the best Hua Xia movies of 1998 could win. This was the highest honor in the film industry. It represented the highest honor of Hua Xia movies. A movie that could win this award would definitely become famous in Hua Xia. At the same time, the crew members would gain both fame and fortune.
Director Chen, Director Zhang, Director Feng, and the other famous directors of Hua Xia, who were originally expressionless, were all a little excited. They widened their eyes and looked at Brother Long.
"Long, what is the scope of the award for the Best Hua Xia Movie Award?" Madonna asked curiously.
"Naturally, it's all movies that are shot in Hua Xia. It's mainly made by actors from Hua Xia movies. This includes mainland Hua Xia, Hong Kong, Hua Xia, Macau, and …" Brother Long smiled and explained.
"I know, and Hua Xia Wanwan!" Madonna took the initiative to say.
"How do you know?" Brother Long asked curiously.
"Wanwan is an inseparable part of Hua Xia. Our presidents have all pointed it out in the joint communiqué. All the people of the United States know that Wanwan is an inseparable part of Hua Xia!" Madonna said without hesitation.
After all, they had received one million USD as the hosting fee. This request of Party A had to be satisfied. Besides, Wanwan was an inseparable part of Hua Xia. This was something that everyone knew!
"Yes, that's right. Hahaha!!" Brother Long laughed, and so did the Hua Xia celebrities. Then, they sighed in their hearts. Boss Jia was indeed worthy of his reputation. This move was really beautiful. It added a lot of points!
Of course, some of the Hua Xia Wanwan celebrities were very uncomfortable. However, they couldn't show any obvious signs of resistance. Otherwise, the Daqian would make it impossible for them to survive in the entertainment industry. They could only show a polite and awkward smile. Many people who saw this almost laughed out loud.
"Miss Madonna, you can announce the final winner!" Brother Long handed the envelope with the results to Madonna.
Madonna nodded. Then, she opened the envelope and read in English, "The Opium War."
"Perfume War? This name is really interesting! "Madonna muttered in her heart after practicing the name of the award-winning movie.
Fortunately, she only said this in her heart. If she said this sentence out loud, she was afraid that all the Hua Xia celebrities would explode.
For a Westerner, the word "Opium" was more likely to be the name of a famous perfume. They even forgot that the original meaning of the word was actually "opium."
That's right. This award-winning movie was actually "The Opium War," a movie that recorded and told the beginning of the suffering history of Hua Xia. If Madonna said that the name of such a movie was interesting, it would probably cause a lot of anger.
Of course, Madonna couldn't be blamed. After all, there was no opium in the United States now. Instead, the streets were full of heroin and marijuana. The word "Opium" was already the name of a famous perfume brand.
The name "The Opium War" was indeed very interesting.
When Brother Long copied the name of "The Opium War" in Chinese, the Hua Xia filmmakers, who were originally very curious, immediately shut their mouths.
No one could doubt that such a movie had won an award.
Many of the filmmakers from Hong Kong had complicated expressions on their faces. After all, the reason why Hong Kong had become a Hong Kong was because of this war.
Most of the foreign celebrities at the scene were confused. They didn't understand the meaning of the name "The Opium War" at all.
However, there were a few filmmakers from the Ying State who knew that their ancestors had started this war. Their expressions changed immediately. However, when they thought about it, they realized that they were in Hua Xia, and that the Ying State hadn't suffered any losses during the war. On the contrary, they had made a lot of money and gained a Hong Kong for free. Therefore, they didn't say anything.
Shortly after, the film crew of "The Opium War" went on stage to receive their award. However, after receiving the 20 million US dollars, Director Xie Jin said that the film crew wouldn't use any of the money. Instead, they would donate it to the Hua Xia Anti-Drug Association to support the anti-drug cause in Hua Xia.
When the foreign celebrities heard the word "anti-drug", they finally realized that this movie wasn't as ridiculous as its name suggested.
Many of the foreign audiences in front of the TV were very curious about the name "The Opium War" and the connection between the movie and anti-drug. They started to search for information and finally found out about the existence of the Opium War in history.
Then, many of the foreigners fell silent. Most of them chose to forget after a moment of silence. After all, this war more than 100 years ago had nothing to do with them.
However, there were also some foreigners who chose to study this part of the information carefully. This made Hua Xia's suffering a lot of international attention. In fact, this was what Boss Jia really wanted to do.
