"The winner of this year's Best Actress is - Zhong Chuhong in "Seven Days of Love"!"
When Feng Baobao announced the winner, Zhong Chuhong was still in a daze, thinking about how to get rid of the bad guy Kang Jianfei, and didn't even hear the speeches of the award-winning guest clearly.
Many people present turned to look at Zhong Chuhong. Zhou Runfa next to him saw that she was still in a daze, so he quickly bumped Zhong Chuhong with his elbow and whispered: "Aunt Hong, you won the prize!"
"Ah? What did you say?" Zhong Chuhong looked at Zhou Runfa in confusion. She still didn't understand what was going on.
Zhou Runfa coughed and said, "You won the award, Best Actress."
Zhong Chuhong was immediately embarrassed and quickly stood up from his seat.
In order to help her cover up her embarrassment, Zhou Runfa also stood up and gave Zhong Chuhong a celebratory hug.
Zhong Chuhong breathed a sigh of relief to calm down, walked up to the stage, took the trophy from Feng Baobao, and shook hands with Mecca.
After Feng Baobao handed the trophy to Zhong Chuhong, he hugged Zhong Chuhong and said, "Hong Gu, congratulations."
Zhong Chuhong smiled and said: "Sister Feng, please don't call me Hong Gu. You are a senior in the film industry. I have grown up watching your movies since I was a child."
"It seems that I am not young anymore. This year's best actresses all grew up watching my dramas." Feng Baobao touched his cheek and laughed self-deprecatingly.
In fact, Feng Baobao is the same age as Zhao Yazhi, and she has only turned 30 this year, but she has been filming since she was two years old. Zhong Chuhong's statement that she grew up watching Feng Baobao's movies is really not a lie.
Twenty years ago, Xie Xian, the highest-paid actor in Hong Kong, only received 20,000 yuan in salary, while Feng Baobao, who was only 10 years old, already earned 2,000 yuan a day. One day's income was equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary worker.
Feng Baobao made more than 200 movies before she was 15 years old, and was known as the "Shirley Temple of the East." When she was 13, her salary was already far higher than that of other first-line actresses at the time.
However, she probably felt tired from filming too much. When she was 16, despite everyone's opposition, Feng Baobao insisted on taking a break to study in the UK and soon married her current husband.
A few years ago, Feng Baobao returned from studying in the UK and only made one movie. Now she is raising her husband and children at home. However, there are rumors that her marriage has turned red because her husband is eating outside.
Feng Baobao is still very famous in the hearts of Hong Kong people over 30 years old.
Today, the mainstream audience of Hong Kong movies is young people under the age of 30, but the mainstream of TV audiences are middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 30. Therefore, DreamWorks and Phoenix TV have invited Feng Baobao several times to film TV series, but they have failed
He politely refused.
Not long ago, there was a rift in the relationship between Feng Baobao and her husband. She actually called Phoenix TV and said that she was preparing to come back to filming. The reason why Phoenix TV arranged for Feng Baobao to present the Best Actress Award today was to prepare for her comeback.
, the TV production department of DreamWorks is already planning to shoot the large-scale historical drama "Wu Zetian", and Feng Baobao is the actor who plays Wu Zetian.
After Zhong Chuhong gave her acceptance speech, her embarrassed state of mind had calmed down. Winning the title of Best Actress made her feel quite happy, and the jealousy in her heart also faded a lot.
Next comes the competition for Best Actor. The five nominees are: Tony Leung Ka-fai for "Behind the Curtain", Wang Zhengfang for "Half the Man", Chow Yun-fat for "God of Gamblers", Simon Yam for "Doctor Lamb", and Ng Yiu-han for "Five Lucky Stars".
Among the five Best Actor nominees, Wu Yaohan is the least favored. Some even say that Wu Yaohan's selection can only be regarded as a make-up.
Among the remaining ones, Chow Yun-fat's performance in "God of Gamblers" can be described as miraculous. In "Doctor Lamb", Simon Yam even brought a perverted murderer to life, and Tony Leung Ka-fai's performance in "Behind the Curtain" was also very bright.
Eyes, as for Wang Zhengfang, he starred in "Half Man" in his true colors.
Liang Jiahui, who had been comforting Liu Xiaoqing just now, was uncontrollably excited at this time. On the surface, his face was calm, but in fact, his legs were shaking slightly under his pants.
Simon Yam was also restless, after all, this was his first time being nominated for an award.
Simon Yam's brother Simon Yam also attended the award ceremony today at the expense of his younger brother. He smiled softly and said: "Don't be nervous. If you don't win the award this time, there will be another time."
Simon Yam nodded and said nothing, but the thought of winning the award was still very urgent in his mind. After he filmed "Doctor Lamb", although he became famous in the film industry, what made Yam Yam dumbfounded was that all the subsequent film offers were for him to act.
Perverted and badass. Simon Yam feels that if he can win the Best Actor trophy, his image will improve a lot. He doesn't want to be a professional pervert for thousands of years.
Simon Yam's brother, Simon Yam, will be the deputy commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force in the future. He is considered the second-in-command of the Hong Kong police and can directly mobilize the Flying Tigers. However, Simon Yam has not yet climbed that high, and his position is "organized crime and triad"
"Head of the Social Investigation Division", that is, he specializes in dealing with members of Hong Kong society.
Although Simon Yam's position is not very high, he happens to be in charge of all the associations in Hong Kong, so even if Xiang Huaqiang meets Simon Yam, he has to make friends easily.
Zhong Chuhong, who had just received the Best Actress trophy, said to Zhou Runfa: "Brother Fa, this year's Best Actor will definitely be you."
"I hope so." Zhou Runfa smiled lightly. He just broke up with Chen Yulian last month, and he has not been in a good mood these days.
In a parallel space, Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian had broken up for more than a year, and then Zhou Runfa married ATV actress Yu Anan out of anger. Zhou and Yu only lived together for nine months before divorcing.
The situation is very different now. The relationship between Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian lasted for one more year, and Yu Anan is now a contracted artist of Oriental Entertainment Company. The two do not have much intersection, and it is impossible to get divorced after getting married.
In other words, Zhou Runfa is currently in a state of lovelorn. He does not attach too much importance to the Best Actor trophy. Getting it can only slightly comfort his lovelorn mood.
As the presenter of the Best Actor award ceremony, Mecca's mentality was even more subtle. This time, New Art City's films only received a few nominations, but he was going to present the award for the Best Actor and personally present this award.
The grand prize is given to another company.
"The winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor is," Mecca opened the envelope and took a look. He was not in the mood to joke. He announced directly, "Leung Ka-fai for "Behind the Curtain"!"
"What?"
"The best actor is actually Tony Leung Ka Fai!"
The result announced by Mecca was greatly unexpected, because everyone was most optimistic about Chow Yun-fat, followed by Simon Yam, who played the pervert in a frightening way. Who would have expected that the final winner would be Tony Leung Ka-fai, who had just debuted. You know, in the 20s
Minutes ago, Liang Jiahui just won the Best Newcomer Award.
At the same Academy Awards, Tony Leung set a record by winning the Best Newcomer Award and Best Actor Award at the same time. It is estimated that no one will break it for many years to come.
Tony Leung kept telling himself to stay calm, but the moment he heard that he had become the best actor, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
After a few hugs with Li Hanxiang and others, Liang Jiahui quickly walked to the podium and took the trophy from Mecca.
"Congratulations!" Maijia said innocently. It was not that he was jealous of Liang Jiahui, but that he felt sorry for this newcomer who should have a promising future.
"Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain" caused a sensation in Hong Kong last year, but the Taiwan authorities only banned the director Li Hanxiang and did not do anything to the newcomer Liang Jiahui.
Now Tony Leung Ka-fai has become the best actor with "Behind the Curtain". If the Taiwan Information Bureau does not take measures against Tony Leung, where will the Taiwan authorities lose their face?
Liang Jiahui now has only one remedy, which is to go to the Taiwan Information Bureau to apologize in person, write a sincere letter of repentance, and then publicly declare a clear break with the other side of the Taiwan Strait. Only then can he be forgiven by the Taiwan authorities.
But Liang Jiahui's mentor Li Hanxiang doesn't care about this. He had a falling out with Taiwan a long time ago. Isn't he living well now?
After the trophies for Best Actor and Best Actress were awarded, it was time to decide who the Best Director would be.
Presenting the awards for Best Director and Best Picture were two seniors in the Hong Kong film industry, Wang Tianlin and Yue Feng. They represented the D&M and Shaw Brothers during the boom period of Cantonese films.
Nowadays, the Hong Kong Film Awards have only been held for three times. The reason why they frequently invite filmmakers from the older generation to be the presenters is mainly to make the Awards appear important and valuable.
Wang Tianlin agreed to be the presenter of the Hong Kong Film Awards this time, which made his sixth sister-in-law Fang Yihua quite dissatisfied because the Hong Kong Film Awards is hosted by TVB's rival Phoenix TV.
However, Wang Tianlin didn't care what Fang Yihua thought. He came to present the award not only to give Kang Jianfei face, but also because it was a recognition of his film director career. Because Wang Tianlin had not made a movie for many years.
Yue Feng is a more senior director than Wang Tianlin. He once directed several blockbuster movies in Shanghai. Later, he came to Hong Kong and made many films for major companies. Almost all of his works were hits.
Yue Feng is 74 years old this year, but he is tall and thin and has a strong body. He and Wang Tianlin, one fat and one thin, walked onto the stage, and before they could say anything, a burst of applause broke out.
Wang Tianlin spoke first: "I still remember who my idol was when I was young."
"Oh, who is it? I've never heard you say that before." Mr. Yue Feng asked with a smile. He and Wang Tianlin were both directors of TVB. After the collapse of TVB, they moved to Shaw Brothers at the same time. They have been old friends for many years.
.
Wang Tianlin recounted: "I was brought into the film industry by my uncle when I was under 20 years old. I first worked as a handyman on the set. What I wanted most at that time was to be a director, because a director does not have to do the work himself and only needs to direct others to do things.
That’s it.”
Yue Feng laughed and said, "Then your dream has been realized for many years."
Wang Tianlin continued: "I asked my uncle at that time which director in Hong Kong is the most powerful."
Yue Feng asked: "Then what did your uncle say?"
Wang Tianlin said: "He said that of course Mr. Yue is the most powerful. Every movie he makes is a hit. Even the most popular Li Lihong, Zhou Xuan and Bai Guang call him 'Master'."
"Your master is so complimentary." Yue Feng waved his hand and said with a hint of pride in his tone.
Yue Feng's nickname back then was "Master Yue". No matter how famous the celebrities were, they would always call him "Master" or "Master Yue" when they met him. His domineering attitude was far superior to that of Kang Jianfei today.
Wang Tianlin smiled and said: "Nothing wrong, my idol when I was young was Mr. Yue."
"If you don't mention the bravery of a good man, the era of our generation has long passed," Yue Feng said sadly, "The world now belongs to young people. Let's first take a look at the Best Director nominations for this year's Academy Awards.
"
A scene of Zhou Runfa playing cards suddenly appeared on the big screen, and a voiceover was heard saying: "The nominees for Best Director at this year's Academy Awards include Kang Jianfei's "God of Gamblers"... Fang Yuping's "Half Man"... Li Hanxiang's "Behind the Curtain"...
...Kang Jianfei's "Deadly Express"...Huang Zhiqiang's "The Arena"..."
After introducing the five winners for Best Director, Yue Feng suddenly said: "Tianlin, have you noticed that a director got two nominations?"
"Of course I have noticed it. Who doesn't know the famous Director Kang?" Wang Tianlin said and waved to Kang Jianfei.
The TV station's camera focused on Kang Jianfei at the right time, and Kang Jianfei had no choice but to wave and salute Wang Tianlin on the stage.
Yue Feng added: "I heard that Director Kang is still your apprentice?"
Wang Tianlin denied: "I can't teach such a powerful apprentice. It's just that A Fei was my assistant director before."
"That can be considered a master-disciple relationship. It's up to you to announce this award." Yue Feng handed the envelope containing the name of the winner to Wang Tianlin.
Wang Tianlin opened the envelope, looked a little surprised when he saw the content, and then announced: "The winner of the best director is - Fang Yuping's "Half Man"."
Kang Jianfei could only shake his head and smile bitterly. As the financial backer behind the Academy Awards, he really did not know the results of the awards in advance. The main reason was that Shu Qi was too stubborn. If Kang Jianfei intervened in the selection of the Academy Awards, they would definitely find another sponsor.
Fang Yuping stood up in disbelief, subconsciously shook hands with the people next to him, and then went on stage to take the trophy from Yue Feng.
"The following is the last award of the awards ceremony, the Best Picture Award." Yue Feng said.
Wang Tianlin added: "And I heard that for the sake of fairness, this year's best film selection method is very unique. It is the only one in the world."
Yue Feng was not very clear and asked curiously: "What is the selection method?"
Wang Tianlin explained: "Nearly 200 judges each wrote three films that they thought were the best, and then selected the 10 films with the most votes for the second round of selection. The judges then selected among these 10 films
The best film will be voted on again, and the film with more than 50% of the votes will be the best picture."
Yue Feng said: "This method is very fair, but what if no movie gets more than half of the votes?"
Wang Tianlin said: "Then select a few movies with high votes and conduct a third round of voting."
"Isn't this very time-consuming?" Yue Feng said.
Wang Tianlin nodded and said, "That's true, so it took four days to select the best picture this time. I heard that there were two movies that competed very hard, and it took five rounds of voting to get the result."
Yue Feng laughed and said: "That's really a battle between dragons and tigers. Let's take a look at the five films nominated for Best Picture first."
“The nominees for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards include: “Half Man” (Phoenix Pictures)… “Deadly Express” (Golden Harvest Pictures/Oriental DreamWorks)… “Behind the Curtain” (New Kunlun Pictures)
Among the five nominated films, "The Scary Man" has the least chance of winning the award, and Shaw Brothers' "The Ring" can almost only run as a runner-up.
However, one of the actors in "The Ring" surprised Kang Jianfei. There was actually a bald Xu Jingjiang in the movie. This professional in professional tertiary films came to Hong Kong so early to develop his career, and he even had a shaved head.
Yue Feng announced: "The winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture is - "Fatal Express" (Jiahe Pictures/Oriental DreamWorks)!"
Amidst the applause, Tang Shuxuan and He Guanchang respectively represented DreamWorks and Jiahe stepped onto the podium and jointly won the trophy for the best film.
The result of this award was guessed by many people, and nothing unexpected happened.
After all, "Fatal Express" is a film jointly produced by DreamWorks and Golden Harvest, with a total investment of more than HK$5,000. Its photography, sound recording, visual effects, etc. are superior to other current films. It can be regarded as a high-quality Hong Kong
The film represents.
Tang Shuxuan politely asked He Guanchang to speak first. After the two of them gave in for a few words, He Guanchang finally said: "This cooperation with DreamWorks is very successful. So far, "Fatal Express" has been released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia,
The total box office in Thailand and South Korea has exceeded 100 million, and the film production costs have been fully recovered. This proves that we in Hong Kong can also have large investments and large productions. As long as the film quality is excellent, there is no need to worry about not being able to recover the costs. In the next stage, Golden Harvest is preparing
Keep up the good work, the three brothers Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao will soon go to Spain to shoot a new movie. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it."
Yes, this old man came to the podium to advertise.
Tang Shuxuan did not have He Guanchang's long speech and said very briefly: "Oriental DreamWorks will bring more exciting films to the audience in the future."
After all the awards were awarded, the performance officially ended with two songs sung by the guest performers, followed by the Academy Awards dinner at the Central Hotel.
Kang Jianfei walked straight towards Zhong Chuhong, held her hand and said with a smile: "Miss Best Actress, congratulations."
Zhong Chuhong rolled her eyes at Kang Jianfei, then took her little hand back from Kang Jianfei's hand and said, "Sister Qingxia is waiting for you over there."
"Let's go to the Central Hotel together, I'll drive you there," Kang Jianfei said.
Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said: "No, I'm feeling a little unwell and don't want to go to the dinner."
"Then I'll take you back." Kang Jianfei didn't let her go. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone
