Ding Cheng looked at Sister Tao's shortlist......
Half in the bag!
"It is worthy of being the mother of literary films, plus Liu Tianwang's ......"
Sister Hua said with a smile on her face: "See, worship the dock is so awesome!"
Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, just after the New Year, he sent a big gift, shortlisted for seven awards, and swept the April Academy Awards.
I have never been shortlisted for seven feats before, and then look at the opponents of the same period: "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "No Longer Let You Be Alone", "Eavesdropping 2", ......
The four films basically took all the nominations.
"Hey, Hong Kong Island movies are not as good as a year after year!" Sister Hua sighed: "The market determines strength, and no matter how powerful you are, you can't produce good films without money." ”
"It's a good thing for us, especially you, Twenty-Six Golden Horse...... Twenty-Seven Golden Rooster ...... Take another golden statue this year......"
"The first Grand Slam actor in history!"
Sister Hua looked at Ding Cheng with a face full of relief, even Tony Leung, who won the most awards in Chinese, did not reach the pinnacle of achievement.
For mainland actors, the golden statue is basically an impossible task.
For Hong Kong Island, the golden rooster is not something that can be coveted casually.
The two add up......
An unprecedented achievement.
"There is still more than a month, I asked the company to warm up in advance, and when the time comes, the effect will be fried until it is blown up......"
"During this time, you take a break for a while, prepare well, don't participate in any interviews, hold your strength enough......"
"Ming Chinese New Year's Eve, let Cheng Daoming operate, see if he can become the youngest vice chairman of the Film Association......"
Ding Cheng looked at Sister Hua's heroic posture, which looks like she is in her early sixties, and her career can really make life lively.
In the next month, under the operation of Sister Hua, the outside world was not alarmed, although many people smelled the signs, and all kinds of interviews were waiting for the birth of the Grand Slam actor in history, but they did not succeed.
Like the silence before a volcanic eruption,
Finally came to the award ceremony, Ding Cheng held Xu Anhua on his left and Ye Dexian with his right hand, and appeared on the red carpet for the first time.
"Ding Cheng, look here!"
"As a three-gold actor, how do you feel about coming to the Golden Statue?"
"I heard that you, like Liu Tianwang, are also Sister Xian's godson?"
"If you really win the award, you will be the first Chinese Grand Slam actor, what do you want to say?"
"Is the Kung Fu Emperor your godfather?"
Ding Cheng faced the camera, worthy of being the birthplace of the paparazzi, and dared to ask anything!
Fortunately, Liu Tianwang came up to escort him, suppressed the scene, and after dealing with the reporters, he walked into the venue, and saw Ding Cheng sigh and quipped: "You are the brightest cub in the audience today!"
Everyone laughed, came to the most central position, a full row, and left a peach sister crew.
"This is Lin Jiadong, a brother who came with a phone call......"
"Gu Zai doesn't like to talk, he has been like this for so many years......"
"Zhi Viagra is the most powerful, if there is anything in the future, I will come to him directly......"
Ding Cheng followed the king to say hello everywhere, basically all of them were seniors who grew up watching dramas, and they were still active in front of the big screen at the age of forty or fifty, which can be called a desperate San Lang.
Everyone is very polite, the twenty-nine-year-old three-gold actor has long been like thunder, many of them meet real people for the first time, talk a few words enthusiastically, and leave a contact information.
Especially tonight, 99 percent will set a new record!
"Welcome to the 15th Hong Kong Island Film Awards ......"
started on time at nine o'clock, Zeng Zhiwei, Lin Jiadong, Zeng Baoyi, and Zheng Zhongji appeared on the stage to announce the official start of the awards.
Then there is Li Yundi's piano, Eason Chan sings a few songs, looking lively, but in fact, it makes Ding Cheng feel an indescribable desolation.
Because of the overall decline of the new wave of film and the decline of the new wave generation, even if it is a little regrettable, this is still the trend of the big time.
Whether it is a treasure island movie or Hong Kong people going north to survive, the mainland market is slowly replacing the king of Hong Kong Island films.
Under the overall transformation of this industrial structure, the Academy Awards can only be reduced to an embarrassing position of half-dead.
In the audience in Cantonese, many stalks couldn't understand it, so they could only smile and applaud in agreement. Zeng Zhiwei jokingly compared the Academy Awards to a big party for Hong Kong Islanders?
However, most of them sang and danced, but there were few happy moments that could be impressive. Whether it is the award presenter or the emcee, as well as the various cold award breaks, the whole thing is like a grass stage performance with a group of big names participating.
Although there are many people who come, they rarely work hard, and they are basically absent-minded.
Xu Anhua next to her is full of confidence, and the reason why she can sweep the shortlist is because as a new wave generation, she has become the only director who continues to stick to her local beliefs.
After a large number of contemporaneous directors withdrew from the film industry or went north to the mainland, they were able to grit their teeth and still adhere to their film pursuits, focusing on the lives of the people at the bottom and talking about their touches.
Ding Cheng looked around, the average age was over forty!
Xi Zhongwen, who won six Best Art Directors, Chen Guangrong, a frequent guest of the Academy Awards, Jin Peida, and Zhang Shuping, who didn't know how many times he had won......
has to accept the reality that the entire film industry is sluggish and the follow-up is weak.
In the final analysis, instead of blindly catering to changes and vainly trying to catch up with the local atmosphere of mainland audiences, it is better to use mainland funds to shoot the genres and themes that they are best at, and use their professional experience to open up new markets.
"Congratulations to Sister Tao for winning the best screenplay!"
After more than an hour, it finally came to the point, accompanied by the script award, and began to climax.
"Congratulations to Sister Tao for winning the best picture!"
"Congratulations to director Anwar Koh for winning the Best Director for the fifth time!"
Ding Cheng smiled and applauded, watching her all kinds of sensationalism on the stage, no wonder, as a literary film director who is not welcomed at the box office, winning the award is the only thing worth comforting.
"Congratulations to Lu Haipeng for winning the Best Supporting Actor!"
Ding Cheng shook his head secretly, it's a pity that the old drama bone Qin Pei, other awards were won by Tsui Hark's Longmen Flying Armor, and the eavesdropping situation with good commercial performance was actually nothing?
Liu Tianwang came to the stage as a heavyweight award presenter and ridiculed the audience, which was the biggest highlight of the show.
"Please ...... director Johnny To and Wai Ka-fai"
Galaxy Images' two legendary directors appeared on the stage, and finally arrived at the much-anticipated Best Actor, with five candidates on the big screen......
