Chapter 144: Embarrassing bald head

The process is similar to the last Golden Horse Awards, the red carpet is walked at seven o'clock, and the award ceremony officially begins at eight o'clock. But the only difference is that the seating arrangement is not according to the crew, but the nominees are all put together.

Su Jin ran to sit with Hui Yinghong, Lin Jiaxin, and He Chaoyi, and there was originally a Ye Tong nominated for Best Supporting Actress, but at this time, they were hosting with Zeng Zhiwei and Zhang Daming on stage.

If you stand on the stage and look down at this time, you will find a bunch of stars, a bunch of directors, a bunch of screenwriters, and a bunch of photographers......

You must know that your peers are enemies! Aren't the organizers worried about someone fighting?

Of course, this is unlikely to happen, unless someone has a bad brain, or deliberately wants to expose a big news blog page.

He Xin and Hu Jun participated in the actor brothers' gang, and the most conspicuous seats in the front row were lined up, from left to right, they were Zhou Xingchi, Andy Lau, Brother Xueyou, Hu Jun and him who was in the last seat.

Zhou Xingchi was also nominated for Best Director, but he was still classified as the best actor, probably because the organizers wanted to emphasize his identity as an actor.

On He Xin's right sat Anita Mui, Sammi Cheng and Zhang Aijia, the actress sisters of the three. Among them, Sammi Cheng alone won the nomination for the actress on behalf of the three films, and it is no wonder that the Hong Kong media bragged about her, predicting that she would be the biggest favorite for the actress of this year's Academy Awards.

It can be seen that she herself is very happy today, and she has been whispering to Anita Mui. On the other side, Andy Lau and Brother Xueyou are also chatting quietly, and occasionally Hu Jun will participate in it, although this product can't speak Cantonese, but he can understand it.

Like many Hong Kong people, he can understand Mandarin, but he can't. Andy Lau can speak Mandarin well, but Xueyou brother can't, it feels very strange, Chinese songs can be sung, but words can't be spoken.

Zhou Xingchi, who was sitting on the very edge, did not participate in it, and the old god Dao Dao sat there, occasionally touching others, and only nodded at the other party with a somewhat shy smile.

He Xin couldn't understand Cantonese at all, and sat here like a fool. At the beginning, Hu Jun also helped him translate a few sentences from time to time, and He Xin saw that his head kept turning around and taking care of the left and right, and he looked tired, so he whispered: "Brother Jun, don't worry about me, if our film is shortlisted for a while, and the best Asian film, you can just remind me when you want to award the award." ”

For Best Asian Film, a mainland film "My Brothers and Sisters" was also shortlisted. As a mainland actor, at least a sense of collective honor is still required.

To be honest, when I first entered this circle, I was always very excited to see Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xun, but after a long time, I became numb after seeing too much, unless it was something I liked very much in my previous life, such as Jiang Shan, and Sister Ge who recognized the wrong person last time.

And when I arrived in Hong Kong, although these Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in front of me were very famous, there were novelties, and they probably finally saw them alive, but if you want to say how excited you are, you really don't have any.

It's not that he doesn't like Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, but there is no idol he used to have here. In his last life, his favorite Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were Lin Qingxia and Ye Qianwen.

Originally, he was still looking forward to whether he would have the opportunity to meet his idol in Hong Kong these two times, take a photo and get an autograph or something, but unfortunately neither the Golden Bauhinia nor today's Academy Awards ceremony saw these two. Come to think of it, these two have now married other people's wives and have retired.

Just as he was sitting there thinking nonsense, suddenly Mei Yanfang next to him turned his head and said a few words to him.

“......”

If he said it slowly, he might be able to understand a few words and roughly guess the meaning, but Anita Mui said it quickly, and he could only stare at it.

Fortunately, Hu Jun, who was sitting on the other side, heard it and hurriedly helped the translator and said, "Sister Mei just asked you if you have any confidence in winning the award?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, Sister Mei, I don't understand what you're saying. ”

He first smiled awkwardly at Anita Mui and apologized, and then said modestly: "I'm very satisfied to be nominated, as for whether I can win the award, to be honest, I don't have any confidence at all." ”

Anita Mui hesitated slightly, estimating that she had a little difficulty listening to Mandarin, and then she spoke again. Hu Jun's translation is roughly that she said that she had watched "Lan Yu", and He Xin's performance in it was particularly touching, and said that if she was a judge, she would definitely vote for He Xin.

"Thank you, Sister Mei!" He Xin hurriedly said.

This kind of conversation that needs to be translated by someone else is really a bit embarrassing. And He Xin behaved very restrained again, after chatting a few words, Anita Mui probably felt very bored, and after smiling politely at him, he ended the conversation.

Anita Mui is very popular, she has been popular in Hong Kong for almost 20 years, and she also has a large number of fans in the mainland. However, He Xin was quite indifferent to this popular female singer in his last life, probably because she was not beautiful.

Although the current He Xin still continues the likes and dislikes of his previous life, since watching "Rouge Buckle" starring her and Leslie Cheung, he is still very impressed by her performance in the movie.

In my memory, it seems that she will die of illness in a few years. When chatting just now, He Xin looked at her carefully, although the wrinkles on her face could be vaguely seen under her thick foundation, but at least she was in good spirits and full of energy, and she didn't look like she was sick at all.

Her face is very thin, her eye sockets are a little sunken, usually this face shape is easy to photogenic, although she is not very beautiful, but her temperament is very good, the aura of the whole person is very strong, and the light completely covers most of the female stars who are more beautiful than her on the scene.

However, thinking that the other party might not live for a few years, He Xin could only sigh secretly in his heart.

With a burst of vernacular chatter on the stage, the opening show with the children was followed by the first award of the night, the Best Newcomer Award.

The award presenters are Zhao Wei and Qin Hailu, Qin Hailu is the best newcomer at the last Academy Awards, and Zhao Wei, as a little swallow who was once popular in Hong Kong, starred in last year's popular "Shaolin Football", which can be regarded as making a name for himself here.

Both actresses from the mainland wore black evening dresses. I have to say that the female stars in the mainland all look a little rustic these days, and they are obviously dressed very fashionably, but they always look a little uncoordinated.

The winner was Lin Jiaxin, the winner of the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actress. But when this girl came on stage, He Xin was startled, he didn't pay attention to it before, at the last Golden Bauhinia Award ceremony, the girl was dressed quite decently, why did she actually wear an improved version of a pink belly pocket today, with transparent black draped over her shoulders.

Seeing her on stage excitedly saying her acceptance speech, He Xin's mind was full of her holding a handkerchief and waving: "Uncle, come!"

After Best Newcomer, there was a series of technical awards such as visual effects, sound effects, best original film song, and best costume design, and several nominations for "Lan Yu" did not win.

In the middle, mainland rock singer Wang Banbi, who was nominated for Best Original Film Song, did not win the award, but he had the opportunity to sing a song on stage.

The popularity of this song in later generations is not high, He Xin has not heard it, but he listened to it with relish.

I have to say that Wang Banbi sings really well, and at this time he still has long hair and a shawl, and he has a unique style of angry rock youth.

However, He Xin couldn't understand why so many people would hack him in later generations, was it because he married Zhang Ziyi, or did he claim to be half of the mainland rock and roll?

After the mainland rock music scene entered the new century, with the aging of Cui Jian, the decline of the Black Panther and the Tang Dynasty, He Xin can only think of a handful of names such as Wang Banbi and Xu Wei.

In the next ten years, he has successively created popular and highly sung songs such as "Blooming Life", "In the Spring", "Flying Higher", "Free as a Dream" and so on.

He Xin even thought that maybe it was because the two had a common encounter that they finally came together.

"Hey, it's time for the best supporting actress. Hu Jun pushed him.

The Best Supporting Actress was still won by Lin Jiaxin, the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the girl wearing a pink belly pocket came to the stage to accept the award again, this time she was even more excited than the first time, and she choked up several times.

Although Su Jin was also nominated this time, the chance of winning the award is really small, starring Brother Xueyou, Anita Mui, and Lin Jiaxin, although He Xin has not seen it, it is said that the Hong Kong film industry has a high evaluation of this movie.

Then the best supporting actor is the big brother Huang Yifei in "Shaolin Football".

These two awards fully show the vane of the Golden Bauhinia Award.

Then the best screenplay was awarded to "Man Forty", the best cinematography was awarded to "The Ghost World", the art was awarded to "Nightmare in the Garden", and the best editing, known as "Little Best Picture", was won by "Spy Maze".

He Xin, who was sitting below and applauding from time to time, suddenly realized that seven of the ten nominations for "Lan Yu" had been passed unconsciously, and now there are only three Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture left.

He looked back at Guan Jinpeng who was sitting in the director group, and sure enough, Lao Guan's expression was solemn, and he had long lost his previous ease.

With the four awards about to be awarded, the whole award ceremony has also entered a climax.

The vane of the Golden Bauhinia Award is once again powerful, the actress was won by Zhang Aijia, and the nomination accounted for three of the five, and Zheng Xiuwen, who was hyped by the media before, fully explained what it means to be a big hit.

At the moment when the award was announced, although she remained calm on the surface, smiling and applauding, her eyes still inevitably showed disappointment.

But Anita Mui didn't care, she was the guest of honor for the best actor, and before leaving, she deliberately patted He Xin's arm, and said with a smile: "I like you!"

This sentence didn't need to be translated by Hu Jun, he understood, and hurriedly folded his hands to thank him.

On the stage, Sister Mei and another award presenter, Liang Jiahui, were talking about soup, and the big screen behind them played a live video of the five nominees at this time.

Zhou Xingchi and Andy Lau were smiling, Brother Xueyou looked a little serious, Hu Jun was a little nervous, but He Xin was looking around until he saw the image on the screen.

Then I saw Sister Mei open the envelope, slow down her voice and read: "The winner of the Best Actor Award at the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards is ......"

Immediately handed the list of winners to Liang Jiahui, Liang Jiahui glanced at it, and then smiled at the five candidates sitting at the bottom, and announced: "Zhou Xingchi!"

"Congratulations to Zhou Xingchi!"

"Boom-"

There was a commotion below, followed by warm applause.

The big screen instantly turned into a live picture of Zhou Xingchi alone, and he was stunned for a moment, then he smoothed his clothes and stood up.

Andy Lau next to him really lived up to his reputation, with a smile on his face, he opened his arms to him, and the two hugged tightly. Brother Xueyou's expression was a little lost, but he still high-fived him.

He Xin was also clapping his hands, and he was still secretly proud that he had really guessed correctly before! The people arranged at the two ends were the big boss! But he was very curious that Hu Jun was actually calm, without the forced smile of the Golden Horse Awards, and hugged Zhou Xingchi gently.

"Master Xing, congratulations!"

He Xin stepped forward and stretched out his hand to him.

The two had met once at the Golden Bauhinia Awards ceremony, but they sat farther away at that time, and they just nodded and said hello to each other at the end.

Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips and smiled, still looking very shy, shook hands with He Xin, and said in awkward Mandarin: "Thank you!"

Then he waved his hand to the applauding audience and walked briskly to the stage.

Zhou Xingchi's acceptance speech was much longer than the three words when he won the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Director, He Xin was used to hearing the dubbing of grouper in the movie, and now he was not used to hearing his original voice, and he couldn't understand what he was saying.

He glanced boredly at Hu Jun beside him, who was listening very seriously, and couldn't help but lean over and whisper, "Brother Jun, don't regret it?"

"I'm already very satisfied with a Golden Bauhinia Award, what about you?"

"I didn't even get the Golden Bauhinia Award, what's there to regret!"

Saying that, He Xin couldn't help but sigh with some emotion: "The weather vane of the Golden Bauhinia Award is also inaccurate. ”

That's right, the first three of the four actor awards are the same as the Golden Bauhinia Award, but when it came to the Best Actor Award, Hu Jun became Zhou Xingchi.

"What's so strange about this? None of the previous 20 Best Actors at the Academy Awards were foreign!" Hu Jun couldn't help but pout.

He Xin nodded, then sighed and said: "There are only the last two nominations left for "Lan Yu", I hope I don't get shaved my head." ”

Hu Jun said: "According to today's situation, I will see the suspense!"

Sure enough, "Shaolin Football" had the last laugh, and this comedy, which set a record with a box office of 60 million, won the last two awards for Best Director and Best Picture one after another.

So far, "Shaolin Football", which has received thirteen nominations, has won a total of six awards and has become the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards, while "Lan Yu", which also received ten nominations, did not win one award and was embarrassed to be shaved bald.

So much so that after the awards ceremony, the crew of "Lan Yu" was absent from the celebration dinner held by the organizer afterwards. Producer Daniel Zhang was particularly angry, and in front of Guan Jinpeng, he scolded the Academy Awards for discriminating against mainland actors, which is Chiguoguo's localism.

Lao Guan was also angry, but more embarrassed. A group of people found a bar, borrowed wine to drown their sorrows, and drank until midnight before returning to the hotel.

......

I just finished reading the latest update chapter of a certain god, and people sighed at the end: The collection is only 200,000!

Lao Chen almost didn't vomit blood when he read it, this book is even a few hundred hundred collections, it's really more popular than people!
