If we say that at the beginning of the 2000s, the mainland film industry was in an era of stagnant production, then the Hong Kong film industry was going from glory to decline; investors and actors in Hong Kong had to go to Hollywood or the mainland to seek new opportunities and development.
.
This also caused a break in generations not only in movies, but also in actors and directors.
In the past ten years, the Hong Kong film industry has not seen any new-generation actors worthy of attention; most of the films shot were the same group of well-known movie kings and queens; until recent years, several outstanding new actors have appeared.
Actor.
It's a pity that these rising stars have encountered setbacks.
In the past few years, the mainland and the Hong Kong film industry have reached a cooperation agreement on the "China Film Festival" to relax the review of awards for mainland films. Cheng Yun became the fifth mainland actress to win the best actress crown. It was just a signal. Yu Junhao
He became the first mainland actor to win the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which officially started the clarion call for cooperation!
This means that before the "China International Film Festival" is officially established, the Academy Awards will abandon the unwritten rule of "protecting local films", review films from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places equally, and break the Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Newcomer.
The actors are all local...
You know, if we look back to the 27th edition, the 27 best actors and best directors are all permanent residents of Hong Kong. This is the official Hong Kong government's purpose to protect the Hong Kong Film Awards and the local character of Hong Kong movies... Well, there are more
Don't let me tell you!
This has also made the Hong Kong Film Awards significantly open to the mainland's participation in the past few years. The number of mainland films participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards has continued to increase. Local filmmakers, or actors, in Hong Kong are very concerned about the mainland actors participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards.
There is a natural hostility.
There is nothing they can do about it. It was already difficult for them to have mountains pressing down on their heads. But now, the mainland has come to get in on the action and want a share of the pie. For them, this is nothing more than a share of the pie.
Dial their chance to win!
Just like the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao, they have almost become mainland awards in recent years.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, Xia Yu expected that these people would not be able to show off in public, although at the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, these Hong Kong actors always dared to speak out and ridicule.
Even if there is, she is ready.
…
In the past few years, Lao Dai has appeared at some film festivals, and he didn't show any fear. The three of them stood together, biting each other's ears, and imparting experience to the two of them, saying, "Why don't you just give people a crazy shot? What's the point of being scared?"
'
From his point of view, this is definitely more comfortable than being stared at by a bunch of waiters at Camus.
If you ignore the fine drops of sweat that are constantly secreting on his forehead.
This is the first time for both Xia Yu and Wen Sui.
Xia Yu has been photographed so many times that she has become accustomed to it.
Wen Sui has also seen big scenes, but as the protagonist, this kind of scene really made her feel emotional.
Teacher Zhou Heye acted very calmly, but Teacher Liang Furong was a little restrained when taking photos.
The red carpet was not long, and even though Xia Yu and Wen Sui were so stunning, many media were interested in taking pictures.
There are two hosts, a man and a woman, waiting.
As one of the eight films nominated tonight, they can naturally be called the protagonists. Although as mainland crew members, these two people do not know a lot about them, but because of some official measures of the Academy Awards in recent years, as well as the leadership's
After signaling, they still behaved very friendly and enthusiastic, speaking Xiangjiang Mandarin, greeting several people, saying the same old things, nothing more than those few words——
"Xia Yu, I didn't expect that she looks even better in person than on camera!"
"Director Dai Chengbi, this is your first time attending the Academy Awards. Are you confident about winning the award?"
"Wen Sui is also very beautiful. As the favorite for Best New Actor tonight, do you feel nervous?"
These questions were all polite, and a few people responded politely. Then the five of them stood together to take a photo, and finally signed the sign labeled "The 29th Hong Kong Film Awards."
The next name is called and we go to the theater.
"Lao Dai is good, very calm!" After entering the theater, Xia Yu just praised Dai Chengbi. The next second, Dai Chengbi was about to pounce forward. If it weren't for Xia Yu, Wen and Sui's quick eyesight and quick hands, this guy would have pounced on the ground.
.
After holding him steady, I saw the sweat on his head, "It scared me to death. I almost burst into tears just now." He was talking about the interview.
Several people laughed.
Lao Dai adjusted his clothes and hummed,
"I just didn't rest last night and spent the whole day shopping with you today. You don't understand low blood sugar and anemia!"
"Yes, yes, yes~"
…
There are already many people sitting in the theater, such as the crew of "The Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty" headed by Song Ang and Yu Junhao; there are also actors and directors from several local films. Most of these people are gathered together in a group, but
Most of them are male actors or married actresses from Xiangjiang. They are all acquaintances who we can chat with easily and openly.
The arrival of Xia Yu and his party broke the situation a little bit. These seniors did not leave Xia Yu and the others alone. On the contrary, they still had a little enthusiasm and were able to get in here. The so-called "take turns to win awards" were basically big-name people.
Yes, they are all human beings——
Maybe they really don't care about Dai Chengbi, but Xia Yu is different. One is Xia Yu's own high traffic in the mainland, and the other is Zhuang He who is standing behind her.
Especially in recent years, the "China International Film Festival" has been established soon. By then, no one knows whether one day he will go to the mainland to make money. By then, there will be multiple ways out for multiple friends.
This is also the role of Tao Tang in arranging for Xia Yu to be familiar with the series of personnel information.
That is to say, Wen Sui's background was well hidden, otherwise these people would be more enthusiastic.
"Well, Xia Yu? It really looks ... extraordinary! I just want to know, what do you eat, but it is so long, so tall?"
In the southern region, where people are generally a little shorter, Xia Yu puts on high heels, and the effect is almost like standing out from the crowd.
A senior came up to shake hands with Xia Yu, and he was a famous director, especially the director of "Spring Affair in a Small Town" who was about to meet the crew of "Drawing Ground", or collide with her, Zeng Jinhua.
Xia Yu also underestimated other people's social skills.
Of course she didn't dare to make excuses here, so she smiled and said, "Hello, Director Zeng, I am Xia Yu!"
Others intentionally invited the crew of "The Painting of the Ground as a Prison". Although Xia Yu and his group were not used to it, they could not refuse it. They just said a lot of polite words and exchanged a few greetings. A few people expressed their apologies and wanted to take a rest.
Seats are gone.
Although it is a popular award-winning crew, the seats arranged here are still towards the back. Song Ang's crew is in about the third row. When passing by, the two crews also exchanged a brief greeting.
And they have reached the fifth row, there is nothing they can do about it, and Lao Dai doesn't care. In his words: "It's good to be nominated and have a fair and just opportunity to compete for the award. Don't think about anything else."
It’s fair.”
After sitting down, Xia Yu and Wen Sui could still feel eyes coming from time to time.
Especially Xia Yu.
It's no wonder that as the older generation of stunning actresses have retired, Hong Kong has not seen an outstanding young actress for several years.
