467 Refreshing history is disgusting (supplement 5/6)
The chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Wen Jun, personally came forward and took 20 minutes to barely control the situation.
However, the scene was too chaotic just now. Afterwards, although the red carpet was not a mess, it was still a bit messy. In addition, it took up a lot of time, and the remaining artists could not even think of walking on the red carpet normally.
This is still a small matter. After all, most of the heavyweight artists have already come. Even if they don't appear, they are mostly award presenters, so it doesn't matter if they have to show up.
The main and most critical thing is that the chaos just now has been broadcast live on TVB.
I don’t know how many viewers saw with their own eyes the crazy scene just now, the “sabotage” of the Academy Awards red carpet. It’s hard to say whether it will make the headlines tomorrow, but it will definitely be a big news that cannot be avoided.
Thinking of this, the white-haired Wen Juan couldn't help but look at Cao Xuan resentfully, and King Cao Tianwang responded with an innocent expression.
He was still a little nervous just now, mainly because he was afraid of a stampede accident, but since the audience was okay, it was a blessing in misfortune.
As for the rest, it is not something Cao Xuan has to consider. In this incident, he is also a "victim"...
After the incident subsided and before the award ceremony started, all the big guys from Hong Kong came over to say hello to Cao Xuan.
Artists are not on the front line, and directors, screenwriters and other industries are not representatives of the industry, so they cannot come forward at all.
In the end, only the bosses of a few Xiangjiang Film and Television companies were talking around Cao Xuan. The chairman of the Academy Awards, Wen Jun, was there to help light a cigar.
Seeing this scene, Zha Zhahui, who served as the award guest and host, was dumbfounded and looked at Zeng Zhiwei next to him.
"That one is so powerful, what other choices are there for the Best Actor?"
"Choose someone."
Eric Tsang's distinctive voice sounded. He is also a figure in Hong Kong circles and has been the host of the Hong Kong Film Awards for many years. He knows the inside story in detail.
"Do you know how many times a year Yinghuang and his bosses go to the capital to visit the docks?
Do you know that Chairman Moon publicly claimed to vote for Cao Sheng while "New World" was still being released in Hong Kong?
Did you know that there was no sponsorship for the Academy Awards this year? Chairman Moon went to the capital to seek help but failed, and got an extra 5 million Hong Kong dollars in sponsorship. This year's Academy Awards is the most well-funded since the new century.
One more thing, do you know? The original host this year is not you, but Du XX. It is said that Cao Sheng did not like him, so he replaced him."
When a piece of shocking news broke out, Zeng Zhiwei looked at Zha Zhahui, who was stunned, and patted his shoulder playfully.
"Young man, the water is deep here."
After that, he left with a smile on his face, leaving Zha Zhahui with an expression as if the world had collapsed.
He debuted in 1989 and has been in the industry for 20 years, but he is still not very popular.
Hong Kong's highest honor for actors, the Academy Awards, was only nominated once for "Best Supporting Actor" in 1999. Compared with Cao Xuan, Zha Zhahui even had the idea of changing careers.
But if Cao Xuan heard the phone call between the two of them just now, he would definitely tell him.
The water was not as deep as he thought!
Cao Xuan does have the initiative in cooperating with the Hong Kong circle, and there are many big figures in the Hong Kong circle who fawn over him, but he is far from being able to control it at will, or even directly interfere in the selection of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The main reason why Wen Jun is almost unapologetic about many of his actions is because "New World" is already a huge hit.
"New World" broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies. Cao Xuan performed well and contributed a very good performance.
You must know that "Infernal Affairs", which had a slightly weaker performance than "New World", slaughtered the Golden Horse and Golden Statues back then, and almost everyone recognized that the Best Actor of that year was the battle between Liang and Liu.
"New World" is even bigger than "Infernal Affairs". It not only dominates the box office in Hong Kong, but also shines in the mainland and Asian markets. Naturally, Cao Xuan has become the biggest favorite for Best Actor this year.
Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan loses, tomorrow's news headline will be the first to start with "Shocking Upset".
This is the most fundamental reason. The premise of all "preferential treatment" is that Cao Xuan's strength is guaranteed.
If Cao Xuan's film results and performance are average and he cannot convince the public after winning the award, Wen Jun would rather step down next year than risk the world's disapproval to give Cao Xuan the Best Actor Award. That would be equivalent to tearing off the face of Hong Kong circles and giving Cao Xuan
Step on.
But now Cao Xuan is recognized as a favorite. Winning the award will not affect the credibility of the Academy Awards. It is not a shame to give him the best actor award.
In other words, since "New World" set a new box office record for Hong Kong films, the Hong Kong industry has already lost all of its face to Cao Xuan, and it doesn't matter if there is another golden actor.
In this case, many people are willing to go along with the situation and help Cao Xuan, get some benefits along the way, and help the Academy Awards gain a fair reputation.
Cao Xuan's wish came true and he was willing to help and give some feedback and rewards to his "good friends".
We all benefit from each other, get what we need, win-win cooperation, develop together, and work hard together to build a beautiful and harmonious ecosystem for cross-Strait films...
Thinking of this, Cao Daguan couldn't help crying.
So positive energy!
However, one thing is that Du Gou was indeed replaced by Cao Xuan, but he was only a host. Cao Xuan, the shortlisted Huang Lao Gou, was not easy to control.
This guy is quite popular in the Hong Kong circle, and he has not been exposed. It is not easy for Cao Yuan to deliberately target him. The only thing he can do is to close the door to this group of people in all the projects of Fan Galaxy.
In fact, sometimes, Cao Xuan really wanted these people to jump out and challenge him, then slap him to death and end the matter completely.
But unfortunately, these people are stupid and bad, but not stupid enough. Even if they are vaguely aware of being rejected by Cao Xuan, they don't dare to bark at Cao Xuan.
After all, the official may still consider the impact. Many things are difficult to handle and the best they can do is block them. But there are many ways for a top rich man to vent his anger behind his back.
In particular, the people in Xiangjiang have experienced the oppression of the gangs in the last century and have seen ruthless tactics. They have a deeper understanding and fear of big shots like Cao Xuan than mainland artists.
Apart from other things, Zeng Chaizi’s status in the Hong Kong circle is not inferior to that of Huang Laogou, or even surpasses it. In the past two years, the man who made up the sheep boss with his bad mouth was beaten into a pig’s head in public.
If Principal Tan, Cheng Long and others hadn't helped intercede, they might still be hiding in the spotlight now.
If you criticize Cao Xuan, I'm afraid that if Boss Cao doesn't take action, there will be a group of "good friends" who are trying to hurt Cao Xuan to help vent their anger and stab them...
………
Amid the commotion, the awards ceremony officially began soon, with Cao Xuan sitting in the middle of the third row.
Sitting around him are Liu Tianwang, Liang Jiahui, Guo Tianwang, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Gongzi, Jiuji Zhang, Zhou Jielun, Li Bingbing and others. It can be said that the stars are holding the moon, and the live broadcast cameras will sweep over every now and then.
The first award was given to "Best Newcomer". There was almost no suspense. Last year, "Initial D", which ranked second at the local box office in Hong Kong, starred Jay Chou.
Really, Xiao Zhou's current route is getting more and more similar to Cao Xuan's.
He sang and acted. The movie he starred in for the first time was a hit at the box office, and he won awards. However, Cao Xuan won the Golden Horse "Best Newcomer" and was also shortlisted for the current Golden Horse Best Actor. Xiao Zhou only won "Golden Horse Newcomer".
Looking at Xiao Zhou on stage, many people seemed to see another Cao Xuan.
However, it only took Cao Xuanna one year to become the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Best Actor. I wonder how many years it would take for Xiao Zhou to become the first authoritative Best Actor.
Cao Xuan tugged on his golden finger. Anyway, I didn't hear that Xiao Zhou had won any Best Actor award. It seemed that he wasn't even nominated.
His personal masterpiece "The Untold Secret" failed to be nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor. Xiao Zhou was quite unhappy. He described his mood as "a kid who scored 100 points in the exam and still got beaten by his parents when he came home."
It can be seen that Xiao Zhou was very excited after winning the award, and his speech was a bit exciting and half-hearted, and even hinted at the expectation of winning the Best Actor Award in the future. For this, Cao Xuan, the eldest brother, could only silently give his blessings.
Cao Xuan, who received subsequent awards, is a tool man and deserves everyone's applause.
There was no way, he was really tortured when he came to the Academy Awards because he couldn't understand Cantonese.
Even though he was unfamiliar with Cao Xuan at the Grammys and Oscars, he could understand what they were saying and even make some jokes laugh.
However, Cantonese is still a bit difficult for him, as it is almost a completely different language than Mandarin. Cao Xuan has been filming in Hong Kong for several months, and so far he can barely understand some ordinary conversations.
However, these award-giving guests and their acceptance speeches spoke quickly, were familiar with each other, and made all kinds of jokes. Cao Xuan was completely confused.
He finally understood why mainland and Taiwanese artists rarely came to the Hong Kong Film Awards. The sense of participation was too weak, and there was even a vague feeling of being excluded and lonely.
It’s fine if you can win a prize, but if you can’t win a prize, whoever comes will be willing to be a puppet on a string.
Cao Xuan shook his head inwardly when he saw Li Bingbing, who was the guest of honor, introducing himself in broken Cantonese.
He does not have an opinion on Cantonese, but Mandarin is indeed the language standard in China.
If the Academy Awards does not break local constraints and get rid of strong regional labels such as Cantonese and Hong Kong films, it will never become the number one award for Chinese-language films, and may become history with the decline of Hong Kong films.
This is not alarmist. In later generations, the influence of the Golden Goblet Award at the Shanghai Film Festival has slowly caught up.
The three Chinese gold medals, the Golden Rooster, are protected by the mainland's official body, and are becoming more and more stable. If the Golden Horse had not taken the initiative to die, the first one to bear the brunt would be the Hong Kong Film Awards.
But if we still don’t seek change, I’m afraid it will gradually decline in the future. For example, TVB’s TVB’s The Emperor and The Queen’s attention at its peak was even higher than that of Feitian Golden Eagle. In future generations, the Emperor’s Queen and the gossip scandals are not as powerful as those of Internet celebrities.
There is heat.
But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan. He can't control it even if he wants to. Instead of thinking about the future of the Academy Awards, it's better to care about how many awards "New World" can win.
Soon, New World won the "Best Screenplay" and "Best Sound Effects", but lost the "Best Editing" to "Sanchakou" starring Guo Tianwang.
In the "Best Supporting Actor" category, Liang Jiahui was a slight surprise, defeating the favorite Sun Honglei and winning this award for his role as Superintendent Gou.
Cao Xuan was still confused at first, but he soon understood why.
This year's Best Actor Award was won by Zhou Gongzi from "If Love", and Cao Xuan lived up to expectations and won the Best Actor Award.
This is the first time that all the Best Actor and Best Actor awards are won by mainland actors. Another one for Best Supporting Actor would be too unsightly, so Sun Honglei could only be "sacrificed".
The two people went on stage to receive the awards one after another. The award winners were Liu Tianwang and Zheng Yuling, and the award winners were Liang Chaowei and International Chapter, who were the last year's best actor.
There is a rule in the Academy Awards. The best actor and actress who won this year's award will be the presenter of the next year's award. This is a kind of thank you to the organizing committee and can also help the platform gain some popularity.
Usually it's not a special situation, most award-winning actors and actresses will come over to show their respect.
If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Xuan and Mr. Zhou will have to come again for the Academy Awards next year.
"Thank you to the organizing committee, and thank you to Liang Sheng and Ziyi."
Cao Xuan read a few words in Cantonese, and then switched to Mandarin skillfully: "First of all, I would like to thank all my colleagues on the crew for this award, and also thank all my friends who helped during the filming and screening, thank my parents, relatives and friends, and thank all the audiences who supported me.
…”
Most of the previous winners were very excited. For example, Mr. Zhou choked up and burst into tears on the spot.
In contrast, Cao Xuan is much calmer. He has won too many awards. Even if the Academy Awards awarded him the Lifetime Honorary Award, he would not cry.
There wasn’t much to say in his acceptance speech. In fact, Cao Xuan thought about taking the opportunity to talk about a comprehensive film and television cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong. But later he felt that it was boring. I guess not many people were willing to listen, so he just said something normal.
Ordinary remarks.
But Cao Xuan is calm, but others are not.
Fortunately for Mr. Zhou, a mainland female artist has already won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards.
For example, the last international chapter can be traced back to 1985’s Sheep Fetus...Teacher Siqin Gaowa.
However, Cao Xuan, the best actor in the Academy Awards, is the only mainland actor to have won the Academy Awards since the 25th edition, and he is also the only non-Hong Kong actor among the 15 award-winning actors (who have won multiple times).
There has been no one before, and there may be no one in the future.
In the past, apart from Li Lianjie, no non-Hong Kong actor has won the Best Actor Award.
Li Lianjie's career largely rose to prominence in Hong Kong. Like Wang Fei, he is considered by many to be a representative of Hong Kong films and the Hong Kong music scene, and a member of the Hong Kong circle.
There is also the issue of Li Lianjie’s nationality. One said he became an American citizen in the 1990s, another said he joined Singapore in 2007, and another said he joined Singapore in 2009.
No matter which statement is correct, this person has become a foreign Chinese, and Cao Xuan is still a (single) part of the scorpion's daddy poison!
Although Cao Xuan himself felt disgusted, he still wanted to say that Cao Xuan made a new history with his hands.
Moreover, Cao Xuan became a rare double-gold actor, charging towards the first Chinese-language triple-gold actor Grand Slam in history...
