He Xin and Shu Qi had just returned to their seats when they saw Zhang Hanyu and Liu Meijun, the queens of the previous Golden Horse Awards, come on stage to present the Best Actor Award.
There is a mainland actor and a Hong Kong actress; Lao Zhang is not tall and Liu Meijun is short; they are similar in age; one is in a black suit and the other is in a long black skirt, and they look quite right when they stand together.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Hanyu."
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Meijun."
Liu Meijun specially introduced herself in Hokkien and immediately won a round of applause.
After Balabala's opening remarks, Zhang Hanyu asked: "The four male actors shortlisted today are all very good actors. Can you predict which of them is most likely to win today's Best Actor?"
The camera scanned the four shortlisted actors one by one. The actor Chen Wenbin in "Can't Live Without You" is undoubtedly the least well-known. He was originally a documentary director, but this time he starred in a cross-border project. His first film won the Golden Horse Award.
Nominated for Best Actor Award.
Because he was the only Wanwan actor shortlisted, the camera frequently took care of him. Chen Wenbin, who was sitting there with a serious look on his face, looked very nervous.
Zha Zhahui sat there with a calm smile on his face, which complemented Wu Yanzu's equally calm face. In contrast, Bo Ge, who was biting his lower lip, lacked this kind of concentration. When the camera came over,
Then he grinned and showed an ugly smile.
It's no wonder that compared to the two Hong Kong actors who have been famous for a long time, Bo Ge is still a young newcomer. It is inevitable that he will be very nervous when he is shortlisted for the first time.
"Chen Wenbin, he has been a reporter, a director, and an actor. I think he is very versatile; Zha Zhahui, he was a policeman when he was young, but now, his bad guys are more touching than the police; and Huang Bo, Huang
Bo plays some small characters, he has tragedy and joy, and his performance is very exciting, but I think he might like to be with cows..."
When the camera panned to Brother Bo, he lowered his head in embarrassment. Because Tao Zi previously joked that the male and female protagonists of the other three movies shortlisted for the Best Picture Award today were all present, but "Bullfighting" was the only one here.
Huang Bo specially invited a very fierce female model wearing a cow mask to sit next to him and play the role of the cow in "Bullfighting", which made Bo Bo want to watch but dare not watch it.
"Wow, and Wu Yanzu! He's so handsome. I don't even know what to say. My mouth is watering when I see him... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't control myself."
Liu Meijun was making a weird show, and Lao Zhang could only continue according to the string of words: "I'm here to ask you to predict which of them has the most hope. As for you, it seems that each of them has hope."
Liu Meijun suddenly became normal and nodded: "Yes, I think everyone has hope. This should be left to the judges to handle."
"Okay, please look at the big screen!"
After showing them one by one, Lao Zhang opened the envelope. The two people on the stage took a look at it and opened their mouths at the same time: "It's so surprising! It's so surprising!"
"The winner of the 46th Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor is..."
Lao Zhang handed the envelope to Liu Meijun: "Zha Zhahui from "The Witness"!"
"Wow!"
This year's Hong Kong film industry was in decline, and Zha Zhahui, the only nominee for a heavyweight award, won the award. The guests and the audience cheered.
Zha Zhahui, who had been smiling all the time, looked up to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his name, stood up and waved to the cheering crowd.
In the real-time footage of the other three finalists, Chen Wenbin, who was serious at first, is now applauding with a smile on his face, Wu Yanzu is still calm, and Bo Ge is laughing awkwardly.
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, they heard Lao Zhang shouting from the stage: "Don't worry, don't worry, the surprise I mentioned is still to come. This is definitely the first time in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, because there is still another
Bit!"
"Wow!"
Probably everyone in the audience, except the judges who laughed and said nothing, was particularly surprised.
Sharing the same award is probably normal except for the Mainland Golden Rooster Award. Other awards including Oscars are also occasionally available. Even at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago, the then jury chairman Wang Jiawei seemed to be free of charge.
Yes, five movie kings and six movie queens were thrown out in one breath, and the principle of "everyone who meets you will be rewarded" was fully demonstrated, which is very convincing!
In the history of the first 45 editions of the Golden Horse Awards, there has never been a double-yolked egg, which indeed made history.
Everyone craned their necks to wait for another lucky winner. Even Zha Zhahui, who was about to go on stage to receive the award, couldn't help but stop at this time.
Lao Zhang didn't show any concern and said directly: "Where is Huang Bo sitting?"
"ah--"
Liu Meijun screamed in response.
Brother Bo, who had been laughing awkwardly just now, was stunned when he heard his name. Liang Jing, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly pulled him up. Guan Yu, Gao Jie, Jiu Kong and others who were sitting at the front, back and left started talking.
They gathered around and congratulated him warmly.
Only then did Brother Bo react and let everyone slap him on the face and shoulders, smiling like a silly boy.
…
Cheng Hao, who was being interviewed outside at this time, finally confirmed that the winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards had a double yolk egg, and Bo Ge won the Best Actor. He couldn't help but cheered: "Wow! Congratulations to Bo Bo...well, and of course Jiahui."
Brother, they are all good actors and they deserve their reputation!"
The Wanwan media here took the opportunity to quickly ask: "Are there any opportunities to collaborate with Wanwan directors or actors on movies in the future?"
Cheng Hao suddenly made it clear: "I think this cross-strait exchange is a trend, including the "Crazy Racing" you saw this year, which included both Taiwanese and mainland actors.
Some media have also asked before if they think the performances in the two places have different styles? But you can see that in this movie, so many actors act together, you don’t feel very awkward, you will feel this kind of cultural exchange
It's very comfortable, and the director can control the style of the whole play. So I think there may be more and more ways of cooperation in the future, and everyone can have this kind of cultural exchange through movies."
The reporter from Wanwan pursed his lips, but did not make a statement or comment. He went on to ask in a routine manner: "Are there any other tours planned for this visit to Wanwan?"
Cheng Hao realized that her answer just now might have touched some people's sensitive nerves, but she didn't take it seriously and deliberately said: "It's so miserable! I originally wanted to visit the Forbidden City.
Scenic spots. When I was a child, I read in textbooks that there is a beautiful Sun Moon Lake in Baodaowan Bay, but I have never been there. I have been here so many times and I will leave tomorrow.”
After answering this question, the reporter from Wanwan quickly closed the line, and Cheng Hao hurriedly called out to several familiar mainland reporters: "Hey, please ask quickly, I have to go back later to prepare for director Xiaoshuai and our "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart"
Come on, cheer up!"
After Best Actor and before Best Director, there was another song and dance performance. When Cheng Hao hurried back from the interview, the host Tao Zi happened to invite four directors who had won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director to come on stage to introduce the shortlisted directors.
, and awards were given at the same time.
Hou Xiaoxian, A Guan, Li Yu, and Johnnie To, four big-name directors, appeared one by one. I have to say that Uncle An's Mandarin is the most standard, without any so-called Wanwan accent. Johnnie To simply speaks it, and most people may not be able to hear it.
Understand Cantonese.
Finally, Hou Xiaoxian, chairman of the jury for this year's Golden Horse Awards, opened the envelope, and the four great directors showed humility to each other. Finally, Aguan announced: "Director Leon Dai of "Can't Live Without You"!"
A local Bayan filmmaker finally won a heavyweight award, which made the audience scream loudly. He was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for Best Director for the first time. Leon Dai, who had just won the annual Bayan Outstanding Film Award, came on stage with excitement on his face.
Receive the award.
Wang Xiaoshuai secretly sighed, but he was not too disappointed because his goal was always the three major European festivals.
Then comes tonight's most important award - the Best Picture Award.
When the host knew the two most important award presenters tonight, Li Yu and Zhang Manyu, on the stage, even Wang Xiaoshuai sat up subconsciously. It didn't matter if he couldn't win the best director, he still won the best film award.
Very much looking forward to it.
He Xin, Cheng Hao and producer Yu Dong are also looking forward to it. Although "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", which was released as early as last year, winning the award will not have any effect on the box office, but this is the greatest affirmation for a movie after all.
.
It's a pity that when Zhang Manyu used her touching Hong Kong voice to announce that the best film went to "Can't Live Without You", everyone couldn't hide the disappointment on their faces.
To be honest, when the nominations were first announced, everyone had seen these films and always thought "A Thousand Arrows Pierced the Heart" was the most promising, but in the end it still lost to the host.
In obvious contrast, director Leon Dai was already crying when he came on stage to accept the award.
This black-and-white film cost less than NT$6 million...
Uh, how should I put it? There is always something clever about black and white movies these days. For example, Wang Xiaoshuai's famous work "Winter and Spring Days" was a black and white film. It was not that he did it deliberately at that time, but because he really had no money.
I couldn't afford color film, so I had to go to the film factory in Shijiazhuang through a friend's recommendation to beg for some black-and-white film that no one wanted. Even when developing and printing, I lost almost one-third of the material. In the end, I pieced it together and cut it.
made a movie that was only seventy-five minutes long.
Even so, "Winter and Spring Days" has repeatedly won awards at a series of niche film festivals in Europe, and was rated by the BBC as one of the 100 best films since the birth of cinema, making Wang Xiaoshuai famous in one fell swoop.
However, since Spielberg's "Schindler's List", there have been more and more examples of using black and white films to make money. The most obvious one is Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing", which is said to have been honed over four years.
He Xin's first impression after watching it was to imitate, or to copy "Schindler's List" in a new form:
Regarding the shaping of human nature, one is from the perspective of Schindler, a German businessman, and the other is from the perspective of a Japanese soldier named Kadokawa; both express the call for hope through children...
"Schindler's List" is undoubtedly a classic, but the third-rate storyline of "Nanking, Nanking" is doomed to be tangible but not divine.
Of course, in Ning Hao's words, that's called borrowing. Obviously Lu Chuan's borrowing ability is far inferior to that of Ning Datou. At least Ning Datou can draw on the essence of Guy Ritchie's noir films, while Lu Chuan can only imitate "Sinder"
"Le's List" is just a shell on the outside.
As for "Can't Live Without You", it seems very touching and sensational, but it is rough but not rough, revealing but not revealing, and lyrical but not affectionate.
Looking at the whole film, maybe one-third looks like the handiwork of a master, one-third looks like a TV news tracking film, and one-third looks like the sentimental story of an artistic young man. It can also be said that it is the proliferation of sentimentalism, which rapidly changes the story of survival.
The essential thinking is wiped out. The theme is not so much the beautification of father's love, but the victory of warmth over cruelty.
The entire film blurs the content between news events and feature films, always interrupting itself. Numerous empty shots appear, accompanied by beautiful and soft music, seriously imitating Hou Xiaoxian's film style. It just so happens that this year's Golden Horse Award winner
The chairman of the jury is none other than Hou Xiaoxian.
Doing what they like, local local films from Wanwan, plus the bonus of a black and white film, may be the biggest reason why "Can't Live Without You" wins.
