Chapter 89 Ceremony Seventeen
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Gregory Parker, I'm from Hollywood."
Gregory Parker has a handsome appearance, modest treatment, gentle and elegant manners, and has never had scandals. He is considered to be the representative of gentlemen and one of the most popular movie stars in the world. Therefore, after his opening remarks, Zhang Aijia, who was standing aside, stood up and applauded him before he could translate. He raised his hand several times to signal everyone to stop, and the applause became even more enthusiastic, lasting for several minutes.
"I am honored to come to beautiful Hong Kong to attend such a perfect movie event tonight." After the applause subsided, Gregory Parker began to speak, saying: "I am very grateful for your enthusiasm, but I am just an actor, but you gave me the treatment of stars, which made me very uneasy. Movies are the stage of performance, not props for selling personal charm. Everyone should prefer the movie itself rather than the actors."
After listening to the translation, Wang Yang clapped and said to Chen Chong with some meaning: "It depends on how good people say it."
Chen Chong just smiled and didn't take it to heart. With the development of the film industry and the development of the film industry and the guarantee of the box office, it is common for individuals to be above the movie itself and cannot be changed by manpower.
Parker continued: "I don't know much about Hong Kong movies, but I have watched Bruce Lee's movies. He is not only a master of kung fu, but also an envoy to spread the concept of justice. In his movies, the strong did not bully the weak, but instead helped the weak fight against power and injustice. This is the truth that human society should advocate and adhere to. Therefore, I like his movies very much, but it's a pity that he passed away early."
"Hong Kong movies are very popular in Chinatown in the United States. I hope that more Hong Kong movies will enter the United States, not only screened in Chinatown, but also in mainstream cinemas in New York and Los Angeles, so that more people can understand the unique charm of Eastern culture."
Parker was interrupted by applause several times during his speech, and it was only after a while that he announced the shortlist: "Next, I will award the first Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor. Before the award, please check out the list of shortlisted movies."
"The best actor at the first Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists include:
Zhao Erkang, "The Heart of the Helium is Like an Arrow"...
Chen Shaoze, "The Gunshots of the Bureau of Secrets"...
Tang Guoqiang, "Little Flower"...
Yang Zaibao, "From a Slave to a General"...
Shi Jun, "Legend of the Mountain"..."
The shortlist was almost totaled by the mainland.
In the entire 1970s, the Hong Kong film industry was like men's "fighting" and women's "fighting" and Zhang Che took off the clothes of male actors, and Li Hanxiang took off the clothes of actresses. Art films have absolutely no market and no one invested in them, so actors basically have no chance to hone their acting skills. As Di Long himself said, he followed Zhang Che for seven or eight years, and it was not until Li Hanxiang borrowed him to act in "The World of Love" that he knew what acting was for the first time.
In 1979, Xie Xian, Guan Shan and others were already old. Chow Yun-fat and Liu Song-ren were still hanging out. Ti Lung and David Kang were filming martial arts films, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung were filming kung fu films. They were all low-cost movies. Except for the action scenes, the rest were perfunctory and perfunctory, and there was no room for acting skills at all. Therefore, the male actors in the Hong Kong film industry were in a state of fault.
Although the mainland has experienced turmoil and troubled, the basic performance training system is still there, and the concept and attitude of making movies are very serious. Therefore, as soon as the situation becomes formal, the new generation will immediately get the opportunity to make a comeback.
Both Zhao Erkang and Chen Shaoze were filming for the first time, but one of them graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama and the other graduated from the Performance Department of the Shanghai Academy of Drama. After graduation, they both worked as actors in the drama troupe for many years. They have rich acting experience and their acting skills are naturally superior to those actors from Hong Kong who come from wild ways.
Tang Guoqiang was not a professional, but before entering the film industry, he worked as a drama actor in Qingdao for 5 years. When filming "Little Flower", he had already made two movies, so he had no shortage of acting skills and experience.
Yang Zaibao's qualifications became even older. He graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy in 1959 and worked as a U-year actor in the Shanghai Youth Drama Troupe. Then he entered the Shanghai Film Studio. Before "From a Slave to a General", he had already made six movies.
Shi Jun, the only one in Hong Kong and Taiwan, has an extraordinary origin. He is a top student at Taiwan University. After graduation, he worked as a research assistant at school. One day, he met Hu Jinquan in an ice fruit shop in Simenting. Hu Jinquan fell in love with him at a glance, thinking that he had the temperament of a classical scholar. After several invitations, he brought him into the film industry.
Shi Jun played the leading role in the famous classic martial arts movie "Longmen Inn". "Longmen Inn" broke the box office record of Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time. He became a hit and became a popular costume martial arts actor. However, he took on the role more rigorously and only filmed a movie a year ago, so his acting skills were better than those actors who frantically slammed the show.
After Gregory Parker opened the envelope, he read out three Chinese words in a similar way: "Zhao Erkang.
Zhao Erkang, who was sitting in the second row with Shen Chong, jumped up and raised his hands high, with a strong momentum. This behavior is very rare among the mainland delegations that have always attached great importance to discipline. People in the entire concert hall are looking at him.
The people around him reacted and stood up to congratulate him. Some shook hands and some hugged him. The situation was quite lively.
Seeing that nothing big happened, Wang Yang turned to Shen Chong and said, "When "The Heart of the Sun" was released in Beijing, Zhao Dan went to watch it. When he came back, he told me that Zhao Erkang was not good-looking, but he acted well, and played a man who was well-known from the bottom of his bones and enriched the image types of Chinese film characters."
"Zhao Erkang's thick eyebrows and big eyes, a simple face, like an old farmer. It is difficult for an actor with such a look to be outstanding." Shen Chong looked at Zhao Erkang who was walking towards the stage and said, "The "Heliocenter is like an arrow" was screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival a few days ago. Many viewers were impressed by his performance. Some people said on the message board that his performance was bold and tender, simple and delicate, and very touching."
"Since ordinary audiences agree, he won this award, which is indeed what everyone hopes for." Wang Yang took off his glasses, wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and said: "Xiao Tang has a good appearance, but his acting skills are still a little bit green and need to be honed."
"Tang Guoqiang is not an actor from Beijing Film Studio, right?"
"No, he is from the Bayi Factory. He was a temporary secondment in "Little Flower"." Wang Yang put on his glasses again and said with a little regret. "We have enough actresses in Beijing Film Studio, but there is no one who can play the young actors. It's just that the Bayi Factory is organized by the army, so I can't go and grab people."
Zhao Erkang took the stage and took the trophy from Gregory Parker. He was very excited to weigh it, which caused laughter, and then began to speak: "The film "The Heart of the Sun" reflects a national spirit and a soul thing. In order to fight against Japan and save the country, the protagonist Wei Desheng in the play went through hardships and broke through the three major obstacles of "money, love, life and death, and life. This is what I want to pursue. I hope that on the journey of life, I will grasp the direction, be a person, do things correctly, and make contributions to the country and the people."
He is worthy of being a person from the Second Artillery Art Troupe...
The speech is very distinctive in the mainland era, not vivid and personal enough, but Zhao Erkang's speech is firm, sonorous, powerful, loud and contagious.
Wang Yang nodded and commented: "He is good, he has a strong spirit and is a distinctive actor. He was a great opportunity to act 20 years ago. Now he is not able to do so. The country's economy improves and the people's living standards improve. He is suffering from this appearance. Without a suitable script, he cannot be the protagonist."
"You always have a torch." Chen Chong admired and said, "As soon as life is rich, people like to pursue gorgeous and beautiful things. Zhao Erkang's appearance is indeed not popular with the audience. Fortunately, there is Gregory Parker tonight, otherwise the Best Actor Award would be a bit unstoppable."
"You really spent $1 million to invite Mr. Parker?"
"It did cost a lot, but I won't tell you how much it costs, so as not to your heart can't stand it." Chen Chong touched his chin and said, "In fact, he shouldn't be invited to present the award. I didn't know in advance. Yesterday was Mr. Parker's birthday, but he flew from the United States to Hong Kong from all over the world to accept interviews, stage rehearsals, and recognizing Chinese pinyin. He was a little sorry for him after a day of trouble."
"I don't seem to mind."
"So everyone loves him and respects him."
Zhang Aijia led Gregory Parker back to the backstage, and He Shouxin appeared, saying: "Mr. Parker is a gentleman recognized by everyone in the world. Next, there will be a lady recognized by everyone in the world to award us the Best Actress Award. Of course, before she appears, we should also invite a very talented singer to sing a beautiful song for everyone and pay tribute to the actresses who are fascinating on the screen."
"I would like to invite Miss Cai Qin to bring us "Silver Dream"."
Just like the lights went out and the screen lit up, but after Leslie Cheung's shock just now, the concert hall was quiet and no one spoke.
Leslie Cheung sang first and then songs, while Cai Qin sang first and then songs. As soon as the piano sounded, pictures began to appear on the screen.
"Yan Shanshan, Li Minwei's wife, the first actress in Chinese films..."
"Lin Chuchu, Li Minwei's wife, one of the earliest actresses in Chinese films..."
"Wang Hanlun, the first female star in China to cause a sensation on the screen, the four major female stars of the era
"Zhang Zhiyun, the film queen of the first film fair in China in 19 years, and the four major stars in Shanghai in the era
"Xuan Jinglin, one of the four major female stars in Shanghai in the era...
"Yang Naimei, one of the four major female stars in Shanghai in the era..."
"Ruan Lingyu..."
As soon as Ruan Lingyu's photo appeared, Cai Qin's voice came out: "How many people love your legacy of the screen, how many people love your own independent posture..."
"Hu Die..."
"Wangrenmei..."
"deal with……"
"Shangguan Yunzhu..."
Chen Chong heard Wang Yang sigh and said, "There are not many female stars who live a good life. Among the four female stars, Yang Naimei is drug-taking gambling, but it was not possible in the 1930s. Xuan Jinglin was sold to a fireworks place in her early years, but Zheng Zhengqiu redeemed her. Later, she married twice, but no good result; Wang Hanlun was forced to get married by his brother at the age of 16 and divorced twice. He lived alone in his 30s. His home was confiscated during the turmoil and died in Shanghai the year before yesterday; Zhang Zhiyun, hey, like Ruan Lingyu, were both deceitful and deceived by Tang Jishan, but Zhang Zhiyun was forced to get through it. I heard that she came to Hong Kong in the 1950s, and is still there?"
"She passed away a few years ago." Chen Chong sighed and said, "It is said that she has been living by begging in her later years. The Academy Awards Organizing Committee cannot even find out what year he died."
