Chapter 186: Favored by Awards

In 1984, the third Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held in August, which was also the last year of the awards held in August, and after that, all the awards ceremonies were held in April in the first half of the year.

In August of '84, the Hong Kong film market was extremely hot, but the awards ceremony held in August rewarded some good films from last year, at least those movies that were favored by professional filmmakers and film critics.

This year's award ceremony was still held at the Cultural Center, but the emcee was replaced by Zeng Zhiwei and Xiao Fangfang from last year's Zeng Zhiwei and Xiao Fangfang.

This Zhong Jinghui may not be known to many ordinary audiences, but he is well-known in the industry.

Chung King-fai graduated from Pui Ching Secondary School in Hong Kong and studied English at Chung Chi College, Chinese University of Hong Kong. He holds a B.A. in Speech and Drama from Oklahoma Baptist University and an MFA from the Yale School of Drama. After graduating from the United States and returning to Hong Kong, he taught at Baptist University, and was involved in television production, performance and administration at Television Broadcasts Hong Kong Limited and Asia Television Limited.

He used to be the chief artistic consultant of the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, and last year he was hired as the founding director of the School of Drama of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

Especially in the field of stage plays, it is an absolute master, with countless performances, and is the founder and president of the Hong Kong Drama Society. He pioneered the performance of absurdist plays and Broadway musicals in Cantonese. He has won the Best Actor Award seven times and the Best Director Award four times at the Hong Kong Drama Awards.

Zhong Jinghui was waiting at the end of the red carpet for the stars, directors, screenwriters, photographers and other film cast members who walked the red carpet, focusing on interviewing a few important nominations.

This year, Qiao Feng doesn't have to walk the red carpet with Lin Qingxia anymore, because although the fast pistol fast gunner has a good box office, he has not received enough nominations for awards, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Movie or anything nominated.

Lin Qingxia was nominated for Best Actress, but the nominated movie was the new Shushan Swordsman produced by Golden Harvest, so naturally the heroine of the red carpet will also go with the male lead, Lin Qingxia and Zheng Shaoqiu walked the red carpet together.

The other Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong daughters were not nominated, and Qiao Feng didn't need to coax one to annoy the other few to accompany him on the red carpet.

However, Qiao Feng himself walked the red carpet, because he was nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Original Film Song, Best Film Music, etc.

Although his nominations are only for Best Screenplay and other awards, Qiao Feng is undoubtedly the most watched person at this year's Academy Awards, because his economic companies include Liang Jiahui who was nominated for Best Actor for listening to politics with the curtain, and Lin Qingxia was nominated for Best Actress for Xinshushan Swordsman.

and participated in the investment, or the screenwriter's heroic nature, a film has won ten nominations, and it is a nomination for two leading actors, Zhou Yunfa and Di Long both won the Best Actress nominations.

Troublesome, Qiao Feng walked the red carpet alone, and after walking, he didn't accept an interview and got into the venue.

"Mr. Qiao is really in high spirits today." In the VIP seat, as soon as Qiao Feng sat down, Shao Yifu joked with a smile.

"Hehe, Mr. Shao laughed, if you want to say that you are high-spirited, you should be right." Qiao Feng smiled and waved his hand.

It is quite rare for Shao Yifu to attend the awards ceremony, regardless of whether it is the newly established Hong Kong Film Awards, the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, which has been established for many years, or the Asia-Pacific Film Awards, Shao Yifu has never participated.

After all, he is in his seventies, although he is very energetic, but his status is enough for him not to attend any award ceremonies and no one will say anything, so usually Fang Yihua attends at most, and he will only attend when Shaw Brothers has the possibility of winning important awards.

This time, Shao Yifu attended the Academy Awards ceremony, I have to say that it gave the Academy Awards Organizing Committee a lot of face, of course, Shao Yifu came to the Academy Awards mainly because he participated in the investment and production of the hero nature and won ten nominations, and he was also nominated for two actors.

And the reputation of the hero's true colors is extremely good, and the professional film reviews are also extremely good, and the vast majority of people are very optimistic about the hero's true colors to win the best picture, best director, best actor, best editing, best cinematography and other most important awards.

It can be said that the true character of the hero is the most promising favorite to win the award this year, so Shao Yifu will give face to the horse in person.

"What awards do you think we can win in the end?" Shao Yifu asked with a smile.

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Shao, I can't say for sure, it's a common occurrence in major film festivals that big hits are bound to die.

"Then Mr. Joe should have his own expectations." Shao Yifu felt that Qiao Feng was perfunctory and said a little unhappily.

Qiao Feng thought for a while speechlessly before saying: "There are a lot of good films this year, especially those films with great connotation that critics like, compared with the commercial film of the true colors of heroes, I think those films are more likely to win awards."

"Mr. Qiao, what are you going around, wouldn't it be nice if you just said that the judges of the Academy Awards prefer those literary films that are made for unknown reasons." Shao Yifu sneered under his breath.

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly again, he forgot that this Shao tycoon is a film boss who takes the audience first as the criterion, all the films are made to make money, and all the films that are not expected to make money are not allowed to be filmed even if the script is written with depth and connotation, thinking, and humanistic feelings.

And in order to make movies to make money, he shoots all kinds of subjects, the economy is in a recession, and he finds that making erotic and erotic films makes money, so he asked Li Hanxiang, the premier director of Shaw Brothers, to make Fengyue films, this is Shao Tycoon, a filmmaker, and a film businessman.

The members of the Heroic True Colors crew who came to attend the award ceremony all sat together, and as the award ceremony began, everyone else began to get nervous, but Qiao Feng and Shao Yifu whispered and chuckled together.

Anyway, it won't affect the award ceremony, of course, even if it does, no one dares to say anything, after all, it's Shao Tycoon's.

Film awards are indeed just like Qiao Feng said, basically awarded to literary films with connotation.

Like the Best Original Movie Song, the Best Original Film Music was won by taking the wrong car, the winner was Qiao Feng, the best art direction was won by the curtain listening to politics, the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award was won by the film Huacheng, the best film editing was won by Half of the People, and the best newcomer actor was won by Zheng Yuling with Huacheng.

It's all literary films, and the true colors of heroes are all blind about the nominations for these awards.

Among the less important awards, the only one that was won by a commercial film was Best Action Direction, which was won by the Five Lucky Stars.

Now it's time for a few important awards.
