The award for Best Actor was presented to Shu Qi and the previous Best Actor Ruan Jingtian. The two exchanged jokes and adjusted the atmosphere before starting to exchange words.
Fang Yi has also been an award guest before, so he knows that the lines of the guests are actually written by the screenwriter in advance.
I saw Ruan Jingtian glance at the script: "Sister Shu Qi, is there any actor you particularly like... I want you to choose among the following four. They are Ge You in "Let the Bullets Fly", Andy Lau in "Sister Tao"
", Fang Yi's "Love Letter"... and East Film Festival Best Actor Wang Qianyuan's "The Piano of Steel". We haven't seen the answer yet, but I want to know who you most hope to be crowned Best Actor."
Shu Qi didn't want to cause trouble. After hearing this, he praised everyone and concluded: "They just represent the most outstanding male stars of different age groups in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. I don't think there is any way to choose."
There is no way to compare."
Ruan Jingtian interrupted her: "Eh?! Now we need to compare and choose the most suitable one... So Sister Shu Qi, just choose one, and I will choose one later to see if I can guess it right."
Maybe we can’t even guess it.”
"Then I choose Fang Yi."
The camera immediately showed Fang Yi, who clasped his hands together in a gesture of thanks.
Ruan Jingtian asked: "Why?"
Shu Qi smiled and said: "It looks good~ Who doesn't like good-looking things?"
"Isn't Andy good-looking?"
"I like my younger brother better."
"Then I want to choose Teacher Ge You, because although "Let the Bullets Fly" has not been introduced to Baodao, it is also very famous in Baodao. I have watched it several times...Okay, now let's see who guessed it.
I guessed it, but I still didn’t guess it right.”
Shu Qi covered his chest and made a little womanlike gesture, beating in small steps: "I don't dare to look, I'm afraid that what I like won't win the prize..."
Ruan Jingtian had no choice but to open it himself. The piece of paper with the answer written on it was sandwiched in a small envelope. He took it out and flipped it over. He immediately grinned and handed the piece of paper to Shu Qi. He took a step back.
.
This action is very obvious.
Before Shu Qi had time to open it, people around Fang Yi had already begun to congratulate him. The other three candidates controlled their expressions and prepared to show a sense of generosity that was even happier than winning the award.
——Shu Qizhen shouted:
"Fang Yi!
!”
Fang Yi jogged all the way to the stage and hugged Shu Qi. The words given to him by the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee were as follows:
"Fang Yi was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for the first time, but he is already a mainstay filmmaker, and his works are well-known; in "Love Letter", he played the role of a young lawyer who turned back his prodigal son. His performance was delicate yet powerful, especially when he was riding a bicycle.
The pictures of the past are magnificent and imaginative, and are destined to become film and television classics."
Fang Yi was in a very relaxed state. He had already written the manuscript in his mind and just read it out: "It was probably around 2,000 BC..."
The words were interrupted by the rather crazy shouts from the audience below.
Fang Yi could only smile helplessly and pause for two or three seconds, waiting for the cry to pass.
Then he read: "About the second millennium BC, there was this sentence on the inscription on the Shaboti figure in ancient Egypt, which was used to describe our human's learning and practice of complex systems..." He spoke in a clear and rhythmic tone.
Said, "If there is work in the next life, then you must do it for me. Once I call you, you must respond immediately. You need to be careful with your words and deeds when working here. Plow my fields and transport water and sand to the east and west.
.Once I call you, you must respond immediately."
There was silence for a while, as the filmmakers pondered the meaning of Fang Yi's citation of the ancient Egyptian inscription.
Fang Yi explained: "I have a premonition that newer creative techniques will be born, so the corresponding productivity tools and theories will also be significantly updated... Now the theory may be ahead of the curve, or it may be a little behind, it doesn't matter.
, it is important to realize the inevitability of innovation. The development of human civilization relies on the advancement of productivity tools. We drive those silent machines to work efficiently day and night... "Love Letter" is a small and medium-cost film that has been shot in the past.
I think it is a shot that is only available in high-cost productions. It is a good example, and the new technology does not affect the expression of the actors. This award is the best reward for me..."
He raised the Golden Horse Best Actor trophy, nodded and said: "So I will continue to stick to this path. There may be twists and turns, but it will definitely be better than doing nothing."
There was polite applause from below, but he actually didn’t understand much of what he said.
It's not that the filmmakers' cultural level is too low to understand, but that they haven't established the basic concepts in their minds.
For example, when eldest brother Cheng and Fang Yi were collaborating, he thought that Base’s so-called responsibility for special effects was to shoot the finished film and throw it over for CG… But he didn’t expect that Fang Yi also had requirements for the studio’s rules and regulations, as well as for the production of props… They all had to do it.
People cooperated, which made the married class who were accustomed to directly fighting for their lives complain endlessly.
Change is really more difficult than risking your life.
——While walking down, Andy, who was unsuccessful in winning the Best Actor Award, stood up and greeted Fang Yi from a distance. Fang Yi thought it was strange, but he didn't take it to heart.
Liu Tianxian noticed it and said: "Wazai is so generous, he can be so generous even when he loses!"
Fang Yi: "Perhaps he feels something about what I said? Andy just agrees with me... isn't he trying to revive Hong Kong films? He chose to support artistic films, while I took another path."
Liu Tianxian started to smoke CP: "You guys are sympathetic to each other." Looking back at Fang Yi, "It's really strange. You said words like 'revival'. If others use it, I will definitely blush, but when it comes to you, it's actually the same."
I won’t feel any violation.”
Guo Fan interrupted: "This is the name of a person and the shadow of a tree. Oh my, this glorious future lies with Director Fang... Of course it is not against harmony."
The finale came on stage. The best director award was presented by the jury chairperson Zhang Aijia in person. She joked and said something meaningful:
"Now the industry is developing very fast, and there are many new friends... "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen, and "Sediq Balai" produced by Baodao are both large-scale productions and large investments. The original system cannot provide such funds.
We have done so, so we have brought in many investors from outside the industry, and they have all provided development for our film industry and given us a life-saving shot."
Then he said: "Wa Tsai is different, he is more traditional... In the movie "Sister Tao", Andy starred in it for free, and also sponsored the movie. Although the box office of "Sister Tao" may not be very high
It’s a huge gain, but it’s definitely a good film. Now that Andy didn’t win the Best Actor in the end, I’m sorry. I think he doesn’t necessarily blame me in his heart, but he feels it’s worth it.”
——This Zhang Aijia seemed to be commenting on several award-winning and popular movies in the process of gossiping. She gave them in a complimentary tone, but in fact, the intensity of the praise was different if you listen carefully.
Sure enough, when Zhang Aijia mentioned Fang Yi, her tone changed again:
"I met Andy backstage before. We were both worried about the future of the industry. He told me that the Baodao film industry has gone through a difficult period and is still in a very difficult stage. However, Baodao filmmakers have not given up.
Find a way out in various ways... The same is true for Hong Kong and mainland movies now. He hopes that young people will not lose confidence in the future, but should unite and work hard for the continuation of our industry. There will be a day when things turn around..."
"Then I thought of a very young mainland filmmaker. Like the mainland film market, on the contrary, he is entering a stage of rapid growth and reflects a completely different approach to ours. I am now more than ten meters away
This is the first time I have met him, but I have been close to him for a long time, not only me, but also other people on the jury... Director Fang is a filmmaker who can provide commercial benefits and has his own philosophical thinking.
You will feel that this is a young man with ideas and talents. As a so-called senior, I actually envy him and jealous of him. I am just many years older than him..."
Zhang Aijia is somewhat similar to Yu Feihong. She says something in a calm tone that shocks the whole audience. She is not affected at all and doesn't care about how others feel.
What she said now was very tendentious, which made the guests in the Souhu live broadcast hall excited.
Xia Yu exclaimed "Ouch~" exaggeratedly and laughed.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked him.
Xia Yu slapped his thigh: "Maybe three out of seven? This is three out of seven! Director Zhang Aijia means, she, she..." Xia Yu's face turned red with excitement and he stuttered, "She just wants to give Fang Yi an award.
... Do you understand that when she came out to say these words, she spent more than ten minutes talking non-stop, just to explain in advance why she chose Fang Yi!"
Directors are all talented people. Lu Yang knew what Zhang Aijia meant after listening to a few words. But isn't this a live broadcast?
It's not good to be too certain. We have to show a fierce competition.
And Zhang Sijia was under pressure to give Fang Yi the best director? Oh my god, she was so bold to do this. It was completely on par with last year's Golden Horse award.
He asked Fu Dalong: "Teacher Fu, do you think it is possible?"
Fu Dalong said bluntly: "As far as these words are concerned, I hear that's what they mean. I don't know if there will be a but..."
"No buts! No buts!"
Xia Yu said with a smile. "When I first entered this studio, how did I analyze it when I sat down? Audience friends, let me tell you something again. That is, although Fang Yi has high box office and popularity, he is particularly rare. He is very rare.
It is welcomed by the academic community... I won’t go into details here for the reasons. I want to talk about this movie "Sediq Balai". I don’t know if it will win the best picture now, because Zhang Aijia hardly mentioned it.
And it’s obvious that the best director is going to Fang Yi...it’s big news, I really dare to post it, maybe we won’t say anything here, but Baodao will definitely criticize her.”
Lu Yang said: "Not necessarily, there are other ways!"
"How to say?"
"The best film will continue to be given to "Sediq Balai", it has to be...but the best director can be given to Director Fang, right? We are not discussing the artistic value of the film now, as far as the development of our industry is concerned
, we need more "Love Letters" instead of "Sediq Balai", especially in a place like ours that can shoot a large number of main theme movies. If we follow others' words, we may waste a huge amount of resources."
Although the effect of the program was taken into consideration and a state of suspense was created, the guests in the live broadcast room still expressed their disapproval of "Sediq Balai" during the dialogue.
"Sai" is indeed not bad, but I met "Love Letter". It is almost certain that if Fang Yilai directed an epic film like "Sai", he would never rely on the crowd tactics. The filming method of directors in the old era is actually
Similar to a feudal emperor, he has little control over the grassroots of the crew and cannot improve the organization. He has to rely on various foremen to use his personal prestige to mobilize, just like dividing the land.
It is nothing more than splitting a large workshop into many small workshops.
Zhang Aijia expressed similar views on the screen. She was not so straightforward, but rather euphemistically said, "If young people from Baodao or Hong Kong want to make movies again and come to ask me for my opinion, I will suggest that they study Fang Yi first."
.I don’t know if what Director Fang said is right, but at present it’s closer to ‘right’ than mine…”
After that, two local filmmakers came up. They were Li Xinjie, the Best Actress of the 39th Golden Horse Awards, and Liu Ruoying, the only Taiwanese filmmaker who won the Best Actress from Mainland China.
What these two actresses have in common is that they are both young people promoted by Zhang Aijia.
The result was obvious. After the three of them finished speaking, the portraits of several directors were projected on the screen. Zhang Aijia said directly without any ink:
"The winner of the 48th Golden Horse Awards for Best Director is Fang Yi. Please come up."
Fang Yi, who was sitting down, had already expected it, but when he finally thought about him, he was still a little surprised.
Winning two awards in a row, how dare you give it away.
He went on stage to thank his predecessors for their appreciation, and the filmmakers who worked with him... He couldn't find what to thank for a moment, because he thought that the previous round of best actor would be the last time he came on stage, so he said everything he needed to say.
Holding the third trophy in my hands, it was no different from the previous one, but it had a qualitative change.
In a general sense, the "grand slam" of Chinese directors refers to the director who has won all the Golden Horses and Golden Roosters during his entire career, which is called a grand slam. No one has achieved this achievement yet.
Because the three major awards are independent and have their own criteria for selection, and there are still some historical factors, the ability to participate in the selection has only happened in recent years, and some of the regulations are quite screwed up. For example, the Academy Awards requires a production company from Hong Kong.
The company must be legally registered in Hong Kong, and more than 6 jobs must be held by Hong Kong residents, and it must be officially released in Hong Kong - this cannot be achieved by Fang Yi currently.
Many domestic directors can't do it either. Only Jiang Wen, who has long-term cooperation with Hong Kong capital and teamwork, can do it.
So what do you think you are now, a minor slam?
He laughed secretly, he was so tempted by the honor that he actually coined a word. After he finished his acceptance speech, he was ready to leave, but the audience was unwilling and kept cheering, trying to get him to stay on the stage.
Upon closer inspection, many familiar filmmakers also stood up:
The eldest brother raised his hand on his head and clapped his hands vigorously, causing the nearby filmmakers to applaud with him. Although Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" only won a few Sesame Awards, Jiang Wen looked very happy.
, while shaking his head with emotion, and shouting from time to time to cheer up.
Not to mention that in the Souhu live broadcast room, Lu Yang, who is about to serve as the second horse boy, is full of beautiful words and never stops.
Fang Yi was like a dramatic actor who had finished his performance. He really didn't say any more speeches. After bowing several times on the stage, he finally let the audience release their passion and let him go.
Then the best picture awards were announced. It was the best director, best actor, best actress, screenplay... they all failed. However, "Sediq Balai" won the only biggest award. It will definitely not be able to become the focus. Adults
