Chapter 75 Ceremony III

After Hou Xiaoxian came to power, he hugged Li Xing first, and then took the trophy from Xie Jin.

"First of all, I want to thank Director Li Xing. Without his support, I can't get into the movie industry." Hou Hsiao-hsien looked at Li Xing and said, "Also, without Director Li's guidance, I can't write the script "Good Morning Taipei"."

Li Xing, who was standing aside, smiled and raised his hand to give in, signaling him to continue.

"Secondly, I want to thank Miss Zhang Aijia for being bold and gave me the opportunity to be a director." Hou Hsiao-hsien said with some emotion, "In our Taiwan, there are three years of chores, three years of screenwriter, three years of photography, and three years of deputy director. It will take at least ten years before someone will ask you to be a director. I graduated from the National Arts College in 1973 and entered the industry to make a record of director Li Xing. It has only been 7 years since I became a director. I am very lucky. I hope that more people can be as lucky as me, meet good mentors and good investors."

"Finally, thanks to the jury, thanks to Director Jin for presenting me with the award, thank you."

When Hou Hsiao-hsien held the trophy off the stage, the applause was more lively than Siqin Gaowa, but it was limited, because before the awards, the predictions of major Hong Kong media were all local Tsui Hark, and the trophy was taken away by the Taiwanese, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied.

"Chengzai, why did Taiwanese win this award?" Huang Zhan was dissatisfied and leaned over and asked, "Which Tsui Hark is not as good as him? "The Butterfly Transformation" has so many new ideas, which is much better than the sissy "Three Halls" and the movie is much better."

"Uncle Zhan, you have to know that after 1949, martial arts films were banned in the mainland." Shen Chong communicated with him sideways and said: "Tsui Hark's various innovations are as fresh as non-innovation for mainland judges. In this case, the shortcomings of "Butterfly Transformation" with too many loopholes in the plot are infinitely magnified. They questioned Tsui Hark's ability to control the story, so he gave a relatively low score."

Huang Zhan was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and sighed, saying, "Tsui Hark lost unjustly."

"It's not unfair." Shen Chong said with a smile: "Hou Hsiao-hsien is also a very powerful director. "Good Morning Taipei" is fresh and simple, like a spring prose, with the atmosphere of soil and grass, which makes people happy."

"Mr. Shen's metaphor is really artistic." Lin Yanni interrupted after hearing this: "I really want to go and read the prose of spring."

"The next week "Good Morning Taipei" will be released in Hong Kong. Sister Yan Ni can go and support her if she has time."

While the three of them chatted, He Shouxin and Zhang Aijia walked out and continued to host the meeting.

"IvIa, congratulations, I found a good director for the first film I invested in." He Shouxin changed his seriousness at the beginning and joked: "Actually, I am also an industry in the year. Why don't you invest in me to shoot a movie? I don't have high requirements, just be an actor, and I will also win a newcomer award next year. Look, this trophy is so beautiful and exquisite, and it is placed at home to enjoy the eyes and entertain yourself."

"Do you invest in your filming "Happy Tonight"?" Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "Your face, Hong Kong audiences watch it for free on H every night. I'm afraid no one is willing to pay to watch it in the theater."

There were laughter everywhere in the audience.

"Look at me now, wearing a suit and tie. I am indeed free of charge." He Shouxin said seriously: "But the movies are ever-changing and their styles are different. Maybe when I go to act, I will wear a long skirt and become a peerless beauty. I like that, but I will charge a fee."

"I have to find a good costume stylist before I invite you." Zhang Aijia continued the conversation with the laughter of the audience, saying: "I would like to invite Miss Li Yanping and Miss Zhang Manling to award us the best costume style at the first Hong Kong Film Awards."

In 19RU, I searched for the Chinese film industry, and Chen Chong could not find an authoritative costume stylist to present awards, so he invited two costume stylists from "The Dream of Red Mansions" - the adaptation of "The Dream of Red Mansions" is beautifully shaped and gorgeously decorated. It is a classic dream of "The Dream of Red Mansions". It was still praised by movie fans decades later.

These two are behind-the-scenes filmmakers. They have no experience in appearing in front of the stage. They are both nervous. After saying a few lines in a bumpy manner, they almost didn't even introduce the shortlist and wanted to unpack the envelope. Fortunately, Zhang Manling had half of it removed, and reacted and hurriedly added: "Please watch the big screen."

"The first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Clothing Style, the shortlisted are:

Liu Jiyou, "The Broken Sword and Little Knife"...

Shu Lanying, "Story of Small Town"...

Kong Quankai, "Full Moon Scimitar"...

Hu Jinquan, "Legend of the Mountain"...

Chen Liying, "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain"..."

The first time the list of shortlisted movies was reported on the big screen, Wang Yang, who had been focusing on his expression, asked: "Xiao Shen, it's okay to forget other movies in the mainland, why is "The Gunshot of the Secret Bureau" not shortlisted? The movie restored the scene of the opposition's life in Shanghai in the 1940s. The costume design is very good, it makes no sense."

"Old Wang, you just saw it. There were color movies in China in 1948." Chen Chong explained: "It's been 19RU now. "The Gunshots of the Secret Service" are still black and white movies. No matter how good the clothes are, they don't have color, they can't show good or bad. Do you think?"

Wang Yang frowned and was speechless.

"The winner of the first Hong Kong Film Awards...The Best Clothing Style is Hu Jinquan, "Legend of the Mountains."

Hu Jinquan is an old man and has been on many podiums. He slowly and calmly came on stage. After winning the trophy, he held it with one hand and put on a styling to show the audience. His energetic posture attracted a burst of applause.

After the applause stopped, he held the trophy in his hand, observed it carefully for a while, and then said, "I like the trophy of the Golden Star Awards very much because its clothing and shape are well designed and exquisitely made, and it is made by the master."

At this moment, Chen Chong heard a sound behind him. When he turned around, he saw Huang Zhan standing up and following an employee wearing a live broadcast uniform, walking towards the backstage from a specially prepared passage - he was about to be awarded the Best Original Movie Music Award, and Huang Zhan was one of the award presenters.

"We China have a long history, including the Han and Three Kingdoms, the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and there are many themes worth shooting." Hu Jinquan on the stage continued: "If you want to shoot costume movies, the first thing you do is to design costumes and styles. Only with good clothes and good styles can you have good movies. I hope this award will make more people pay attention to costume styling design. Thank you."

The old-fashioned but full of expectations attracted a burst of warm applause.

After Hu Jinquan received the award, Zhang Aijia and He Shouxin each supported an old man and walked out of the backstage. The two old men had white hair and beards and were over 70 years old.

When Wang Yang saw it, he looked in disbelief and stood up with a cry, which scared the audience around him.

He reacted, quickly sat down, his chest undulating, staring at Chen Chong with an excited expression, and said, "Xiao Shen, you...you...have you actually invited him out to present the award?"

Chen Chong was extremely proud and laughed without saying anything.

"Everyone, before presenting this award, I would like to ask everyone to stand up and pay tribute to the two masters around me." Zhang Aijia bowed respectfully and introduced: "The first dean of the National Academy of Art, the pioneer of modern Chinese art, the great painter Lin Fengmian, and the famous art theorist and critic, Mr. Cai Yuanpei's son-in-law, Professor Lin Wenzheng."

The concert hall suddenly had applause and exclamation, and people stood up in a hurry.

Lin Fengmian is one of the founders of modern art education in China, an art master and educator as famous as Xu Beihong. He is well-known in China and the West, and is full of peaches and plums. He is a well-deserved master of the generation. The Hangzhou National Academy of Art, which he founded, is the current China Academy of Fine Arts. With the policy of "introduction of Western art; organizing Chinese art; harmonizing Chinese and Western art; and creating art in the era", advocates the educational idea of ​​"compatibility and academic freedom". He learns from the strengths of many people and attracts talents, and cultivates a large number of famous artists such as Li Keran, Wu Guanzhong, Ai Qing, Zhao Wuji, and Zhu Dequn and other famous artists and internationally influential painters.

Lin Wenzheng is Lin Fengmian's fellow clan, fellow villager and classmates. They grew up together, graduated from high school, and went to France to study together. One studied art, the other studied literature and art history. After completing his studies, at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, he founded the Hangzhou National Academy of Arts. One was the dean and the art professor, and the other was the director of the Academic Affairs Office and the professor of art history. He operated the National Art School into the best art professional school in China. Cai Yuanpei admired Lin Wenzheng very much and married his eldest daughter, who was both talented and beautiful, and also specially bought a villa for the couple in Hangzhou.

In 1937, Hangzhou was occupied by the Japanese army and the National Academy of Arts moved to Hunan. In 1938, Lin Wenzheng and Lin Fengmian were scattered. The war of resistance, civil war, turmoil, and continuous twists and turns made the two never meet again in the next 40 years.

Lin Fengmian moved to Hong Kong in 1977, and Chen Chong was an art-like fanatic. How could the master in his own place be spared? Naturally, he had to try his best to meet him again and again. This time he sent someone to Hangzhou to take Lin Wenzheng to Hong Kong, and then used the trick of "Surviving the Tribulation Brothers are here" to successfully invite the master as the award presenter.

"People, please sit down, please sit down."

Lin Fengmian's half-raising arms and slow sound made the applause even louder. The applause rang for two or three minutes before it gradually subsided.

"I am very moved and flattered by your enthusiasm." Lin Fengmian is already RU and is still in good health. When he saw someone applauding again, he quickly raised his hand to stop him, and then said: "Wen Zheng and I are here to present the film awards and award this...The Best Art Design Award for the Golden Image Award."

"Brother Feng Mian and I are not in the film industry. In fact, we are not qualified to come to the stage to present the awards. The reason why we accepted the invitation from the organizing committee was because film is a comprehensive art." Lin Wenzheng helped the microphone and continued: "In the process of development, it integrates the achievements and experience of various arts such as literature, drama, painting, music, dance, sculpture, architecture, photography, etc. In so many arts, art is very important, because film is a visual art that needs to be seen with the eyes, and each lens is composed of pictures. We hope that art can make greater contributions to film."

"Wen Zheng said it well." Lin Fengmian raised the envelope and said, "Let's take a look at the list of candidate movies first."

The applause rang again, and Chen Chong applauded and sighed - it's a pity that the Chinese film industry, especially the Hong Kong film industry, did not pay attention to art design at all, and it was useless to waste two masters of the history of Chinese art as award presenters.

The award for Best Art Design was later added. Although few films in Hong Kong and Taiwan hired professional art designs, the information collected by the Preparatory Committee later showed that major film studios in the mainland had special art design positions, so this award was added.

Chen Chong went all out to invite world-class art masters to present awards, which was also to attract everyone's attention to art design, because with the advancement of film technology and the improvement of audience appreciation, this position will become more and more important. If a blockbuster film does not have good art design, it will be a disaster.

"The first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Art Designer, the shortlisted include:

Wang Guizhi, "The Gunshots of the Bureau of Secrets"...

Kou Honglie, "The Heart of the Sun is Like an Arrow"...

Han Shangyi, "From a Slave to a General"...

Zhang Shuping, "Crazy Calamity"...

Zhang Jiping, "Happy Love"..."
