Despite rising political antagonism, China and Taiwan have for years been able to put aside their differences for a night of shared glitz and glamour at the annual Taipei-based Golden Horse Awards,…
on the same exact day. In a retaliatory move, Beijing has scheduled its ceremony to coincide with Taipei’s event, which itself angered mainland nationalists in 2018 by honoring a pro-Taiwan independence filmmaker. Chinese authorities have banned all of their industry professionals from attending the rival ceremony and intimidated others regionally with the threat of blacklisting.The mainland’s boycott has put Chinese cinema in a bind.
Last year, mainland films made up the majority of the Golden Horse best feature nominees and all of the best director ones, ultimately yielding wins for China’s “An Elephant Sitting Still” and mainland helmer. This year, one of the more nominated Golden Rooster films is “The Bugle From Gutian,” a historical epic with a C-grade feel made to commemorate a Communist war anniversary for the mainland’s Army Day.
“Ang Lee is in an uncomfortable position, but he’s too important for China to ignore” because he is one of the only helmers with a proven track record in both Western and Chinese-language films, says Rosen. Indeed, Lee’s “Gemini Man” was one of the first Hollywood blockbusters granted a theatrical release after China’s National Day holiday, earning $33 million in the territory.
