Chapter 709. Justice of the Peace(1/2)

Speaking of the battle for the best actors in the Hong Kong Academy Awards, Lee Soo-hyun's performance in "Public Servant" can definitely touch people's hearts. In contrast, "Waiting for the Dawn" starring Zhou Runfa is very literary and artistic, and can be said to be the favorite of the judges. As for Chen Xiaotang, his performance in "Uncle" can be described as "stunning". It would be strange if the script is not exciting if it is good.

These three super acting schools have made many judges and audiences feel a headache. No matter who chooses, they feel sorry for the other two. But in general, Zhou Runfa’s voice is the highest, because he is filming a "literary" film and acting style. According to the petty bourgeois complex in the bones of the Academy Awards, he wants both box office and reputation. To put it bluntly, he is like a prostitute, who wants to be a bitch and set up a archway, so in the difficult choice, Zhou Runfa undoubtedly has the greatest advantage.

At this moment, on the awards stage, Chinese actor David Jiang finally opened the envelope with the name of the actor in everyone's expectations.

Everyone looked at him.

Looking at him tightly.

He glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face, which quickly melted---

Off the stage, everyone held their breath and could even hear each other's heartbeat.

Chen Xiaotang closed his lips nervously.

Lee Xiuxian nervously loosened his tie.

The most popular brother Fa bit his finger nervously.

The audiences at other scenes also tightened their hips, enduring their excitement, waiting for the announcement of the result.

"It must be Brother Xiu, I admire him, the police thief he plays is OK!"

"Fa Zai, it must be Fa Zai! I like him, he will definitely be the future acting guy!"

"Atang, Xiongqi, we will win you. Since your debut, we have been your loyal fans, oh!"

Everyone is muttering and chanting. Guessing--

At the award ceremony, the Chinese actor David Jiang, who was the guest of the award ceremony, finally started reading: "I announced that the one who won the Best Actor at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards is..."

He looked at Zheng Zeshi, then Li Xiuxian, and then swept over Chen Xiaotang. Finally, he fell on Zhou Runfa.

"Choose. You said it!" Zhou Runfa was excited and roared in his heart.

Others even started to curse.

David Jiang blinked his eyes slightly, turned around, and then said loudly: "Chen Xiaotang---"Uncle"!"

"Damn it, right?" Zhou Runfa almost fell down, looked at Chen Xiaotang who jumped up in disbelief and fell into ecstasy, and then closed his eyes with difficulty.

If I lost, I actually lost!

Zhou Runfa felt extremely disappointed, depressed, unbelievable, and a little jealousy--

As for the throne of the actor, it can be said that Fa Ge has been determined from the beginning. Although he has always emphasized that Chen Xiaotang is his opponent, in fact, in his opinion, his biggest opponent is Li Xiuxian. After all, Chen Xiaotang is a little weaker than him in terms of qualifications, but he never expected that his best friend suddenly won in the end. How could he feel?!

It turns out that the Academy Awards do not believe in qualifications.

It turns out that the Academy Awards don’t believe in tears.

Brother Fa suddenly understood this, but it was too late.

Compared to Fa Ge's loss and depression, Chen Xiaotang seemed inexplicably excited.

Until now, he couldn't believe his ears. His intuition was filled with applause. He moved his steps, instead of walking directly onto the stage, he walked to Fa Ge. Then he hugged Fa Ge.

Chen Xiaotang leaned into Fa Ge's ear and said happily: "I won."

Brother Fa calmed down and tried hard to smile. He patted him on the back with envy and jealousy: "Congratulations, boy, you ran to the front of me!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "You will get it sooner or later!"

Brother Fa nodded and smiled: "I hope so!"

Chen Xiaotang turned around and hugged several other competitors, Brother Li Xiuxian, Zheng Zeshi, Brother Cheng Long and others.

When hugging Brother Cheng Long, Brother Cheng Long hit Chen Xiaotang with some envy and said, "Go to treat me, don't run away!"

Chen Xiaotang: "It's certain!" Then he walked onto the stage for the second time with high spirits.

Under the stage, everyone gave him warm applause and congratulated him on his winning. "His reason for winning was: breaking through himself, releasing his acting skills, and interpreting a man with a cold face in a strong and tender way." After David Jiang finished speaking, he presented the trophy to Chen Xiaotang, and then quietly retreated aside and gave the microphone to Chen Xiaotang. "I..." Chen Xiaotang trembled and stroked the trophy in his hand, but for a moment he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"First of all, I have to thank myself, because I wrote such a good show for myself!"

"Haha!" People laughed.

"Secondly, I want to thank everyone who participated in this drama. It was you who helped me, and this trophy is also your contribution!" Chen Xiaotang raised the trophy high.

Just when everyone thought Chen Xiaotang was going to finish briefly this time, Chen Xiaotang changed the subject and said, "Brother David Jiang said just now that we are the younger waves of the Yangtze River, but as time goes by, we younger waves will also become the older waves. In order to find comfort for the old self in the future and to encourage all the workers who devote their lives to film, I suggest whether the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards can set up an award called the Lifetime Achievement Award to reward those who have made great contributions to the Hong Kong film industry and Chinese films!"

Chen Xiaotang's unexpected "proposal" immediately shocked everyone.

Lifetime Achievement Award?!

It sounds quite impressive!

Especially those older generation filmmakers were even more moved by Chen Xiaotang's proposal and were tickled.

Yes, we have worked hard all our lives and dedicated everything to the movies. Why don’t we old guys also set up an award?

The Lifetime Achievement Award sounds great.

"I know this proposal is a bit abrupt, but given the needs of Hong Kong films, in order to commend the efforts of the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers, I think such an award here is a must. What do you think?!" Chen Xiaotang asked the Peking Operating Committee of the Academy Awards below and many film companies.

"Uh?" First of all, the sixth uncle, who was the boss of Shaw, was stunned for a moment, and the others were the same. They became interested and looked at Chen Xiaotang with bright eyes, hoping that he would continue to talk quickly.

"This award is not only the actors, but also the producers, producers, photographers, etc., which means that as long as you have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong films, you can win such awards." Chen Xiaotang continued: "This is a pure spiritual award. In other words, we only look at the winner's contribution and influence to Hong Kong films. Others are not the scope of consideration. As long as you are recognized by everyone and recognized by everyone, you can win this extremely glorious lifelong achievement award when you grow old!"

What Chen Xiaotang said is sonorous and powerful, and every word is pronounced.

In fact, the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of the Hong Kong Film Awards will not be established until the 14th session, and it will not officially appear in ten years.

It can be said that the Lifetime Achievement Award is a grand prize of the Film Awards. It is commended to those seniors in the film industry who have made significant contributions to Hong Kong. It can also be said that the Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest tribute award for Hong Kong films. When the award is won, everyone below will stand up to pay tribute!

In the future, those who won this Golden Star Award include Huang Manli, Bai Xuexian, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Liu Jialiang, Xiao Fangfang, Li Xiaoping and others.

Looking at the winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award are those who have made outstanding contributions to promoting Hong Kong films, developing Hong Kong films, and participating in the production of Hong Kong films... Generally speaking, they are people with special significance, not famous people.

The awards that originally appeared ten years later were now proposed by Chen Xiaotang ten years in advance. It is conceivable how shocking the filmmakers on the stage was so strong.

Especially those of the film company, such as Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, and Hong Zuxing from the Golden Star Awards Organizing Committee, were even more excited.

Why?!

Because the award proposed by Chen Xiaotang is obviously tailor-made for them, such as the "old filmmakers"!

On the development and contribution to Hong Kong films, who have Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, New Art City, and the Academy Awards Organizing Committee?!

In terms of qualifications, it is one of the top in the entire movie circle, and the qualification rankings are just on the list.

When we turn, we are all fifty or sixty or eighty. Although we are not as old as a person, we are still growing old.

"Then I want to ask a question, is this award only for Hong Kong people?" Boss Zou Wenhuai couldn't help it and stood up and asked. His question happened to be what Daheng Shao also wanted to ask.

"No!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "I said that what we want to commend are those elderly people who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong films. Therefore, even if the Governor of Hong Kong has made great contributions to the development of Hong Kong films during his tenure, he can still win such an award!" Chen Xiaotang took a look at the Governor Youde in the guest seat intentionally or unintentionally.

Governor Yud originally thought that this "Lifetime Achievement Award" was in charge of his own affairs, but unexpectedly... this matter immediately turned into a good thing.

"Dear Chen, you mean that this award will be regardless of race or nationality. As long as it is qualified, it is OK?" Yu De's old man indeed got into a trap.

Chen Xiaotang nodded, "So, this award will be very important and the value is the highest among all awards! When awarding, all of us filmmakers should stand up and pay tribute to show respect and admiration!"

"Oh, it's so good and wonderful, I like it!" Old Youde praised.

The more Chen Xiaotang mentioned this award as important and noble, the more seduced some people to drool.

Wow, this award is super impressive!

"So, how is this award selected?" Big boss Zou Wenhuai swallowed and continued to ask.

"It's very simple. The judges of the Academy Awards can nominate candidates based on actual conditions, and the final choice is in the hands of all filmmakers. Because everyone understands people and works in the same circle, everyone knows who has the greatest influence on Hong Kong movies, and there will be no objection to this. Of course, for fairness, we will consult the audience through re-examination after the nomination, so as to ensure fairness, openness and fairness!"

Chen Xiaotang's words made everyone nod.

Yes, such an important award requires caution. After all, being able to win the Lifetime Achievement Award is equivalent to being recognized by the entire film industry and being called the most noble and outstanding filmmaker.

"What do you think?" Chen Xiaotang's eyes were against the four of Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and Hong Zuxing, and the focus was on Shao Daheng. Because he knew that if he wanted to establish this award, if Shao Daheng did not agree, their ideas would be scrapped.

After all, Tycoon Shao is the first person in Hong Kong movies. He was once the emperor of the film, and he dominated Xiangjiang for 30 years. If he nodded, not to mention other film companies, even the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards would give him face. Moreover, he is the first person most qualified to win the "Lifetime Achievement Award". If he doesn't nod, who is still qualified? The most important thing is Tycoon Shao's influence at home and abroad. Almost no one can match.

Zou Wenhuai and the other two looked at each other for a moment. Then they looked at Daheng Shao, who looked solemn. It was obvious that they had handed over the decision to Daheng Shao.

Daheng Shao silently glanced at the crowd of Xuyi, then stood up and said, "I agree with this proposal!"

A short sentence seemed to ignite thunder.

"Bangla..." The knowledgeable people at the scene all clapped their hands hard, and the hosts of various TV stations also expressed their feelings at this moment.

The host of Hong Kong TVB clapped and said: "The development of Hong Kong films requires the efforts of several generations, and the release of the Lifetime Achievement Award will undoubtedly bring greater motivation to more filmmakers!"

The host of Taiwan China Television TV said enthusiastically: "Chinese-language films have developed to this day. There are the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards that followed them. However, compared with the growth of the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards seems a little overwhelmed. The reason for this is that we do not have anyone as brave as the big star Chen Xiaotang!"

Fuji TV Japan: "Sodesnai! We have to admit that Hong Kong movies have really widened the distance between us. While we are still working hard to shoot commercial movies that are box office-first, they have shifted part of their attention to the improvement and encouragement of the Academy Awards. Yes. The concept of Lifetime Achievement Award is very attractive to both Hong Kong filmmakers and Japanese filmmakers, because that is the affirmation of history to you!"

The host of KBS TV station in South Korea was sad and looked disappointed. "Simida! Still the same thing, it's not OK to work behind closed doors. We should follow Hong Kong movies and their Film Awards! We should also encourage our filmmakers to continue working hard. We should also set up a Lifetime Achievement Award! Only in this way can our filmmakers have a steady stream of power like they installed a motor!"

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!

A seemingly ordinary award was set up, and a casual suggestion for Chen Xiaotang. An incident that was very ordinary in the Hong Kong film industry in the future caused an uproar in the world. For example, representatives from all levels of Hollywood who were watching TV felt in their hearts that the Hong Kong Film Awards were following their Oscars, or chasing them desperately.

The Hong Kong Film Awards also set up a Lifetime Achievement Award. Can they play it?!

Salute to the older generation of film workers?!
To be continued...
