Chapter 342: Sweeping Thousands of Armies
"Congratulations to Seeking Plum for winning the best screenplay!"
"Congratulations on winning the best movie!"
"Congratulations to Weng Ziwen for winning the Best Director!"
"Congratulations to Bai Ding for winning the Best Supporting Actor!"
"Congratulations to Jin Yanling for winning the Best Supporting Actress!"
"Congratulations to Spring and Summer for Best Actress!"
Ding Cheng watched the people around him come to the stage like a marquee, good guy, he was shortlisted for thirteen nominations and won six heavyweight awards!
"See?" Liu Tianwang, as the producer, smiled with a wrinkled face, and said in a low voice: "The strongest in the history of the Golden Statue!"
Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, such an awesome record is also invincible, as a leading actor, even if he has won the Grand Slam, this kind of honor is rare.
Under the dimming of the lights in the audience, Chairman Chen Jiashang, who will step down next year, stepped onto the stage, took out the most critical envelope, and announced word by word: "The 37th Hong Kong Island Film Awards ......"
"Best Actor is ......"
"Ding Cheng!"
Ding Cheng was stunned, or me?
stood up, hugged Liu Tianwang and the director, and walked on stage, as the actor who has won the golden statue three times, he has equaled Tony Leung's record.
"It's an honor to stand on this stage again......"
"In fact, even I didn't expect that I could be so recognized by everyone, which shows that the core spirit of Hong Kong Island movies has not been lost!"
"It also fully proves that there are a group of young directors who are willing to dedicate their youth to the film, and they are our hope for the future!"
Chen Jiashang stood next to him, looking at this young man who broke miracles countless times, twice Best Actor, once Best Supporting Actor, in just four years, creating a myth.
Especially last year's Golden Statue Best Actor, awarded to Louis Koo, who has struggled for 30 years, as the chairman who is about to step down, actively connects with cross-strait cultural exchanges, and opens up the situation for the co-production market, you can say it with a conscience......
Worthy of Hong Kong Island movies!
After Ding Cheng finished speaking, the audience applauded, turned around, and deeply embraced the old man in front of him, who had experienced the lowest point, and now he can climb up little by little, Chen Jiashang is absolutely indispensable!
After all, movies are commodities, and art also needs audiences, and that kind of self-appreciation is not a masterpiece, but a manifestation of inferiority and lack of self-confidence.
If it weren't for the mainland box office market, the film industry on Hong Kong Island would have been worse now, or even dead.
is also because there are a large number of desperate San Lang like Liu Tianwang, Gu Tianle, and Zhang Jiahui, who use the money earned from the mainland box office to support the so-called local characteristics, if there is no ......
Hong Kong Island movies have long starved to death!
No matter the responsibility, or the last thought in the bones, all in all, the film cannot do without the support of the market, otherwise it will be rootless water and will inevitably perish.
At the end of the awards, everyone came to the hotel, treated Liu Tianwang by himself, and ate as much as he wanted!
"It's rare to take on domestic dramas in the future, right?" After three rounds of drinking, Liu Tianwang chatted alone: "Hey, now kung fu movies can only rely on you!"
Ding Cheng waved his hand and said easily: "Do you want to be so sad?"
"You don't understand!" Liu Tianwang sighed and said with a melancholy face: "The golden age of Hong Kong Island started with kung fu movies, and generation after generation of predecessors worked hard to fight!"
"Bruce Lee...... Cheng Long...... Jet li...... Donnie Yen...... Wu Jing ......"
"Even Xiang Huaqiang forced Xiang Zuo to practice martial arts, do you know how old he was at that time?"
"Twenty-five!"
Liu Tianwang sighed again, looked at Ding Cheng, and said seriously: "We have even given up, thinking that the kung fu movie is over......
"I met you as a result!"
Ding Cheng didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, and just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Tianwang: "I understand what you mean, this is not a responsibility that one person can carry, but the matter is ...... now."
"Who else can we count on?"
patted Ding Cheng on the shoulder, he is fifty-nine this year, and he will be sixty years old tomorrow.
In the past four years of cooperation with this kid, it is no exaggeration to say that it was the smoothest few years in the first half of my life.
Whether it is investment or winning awards, fame and fortune are gained, you don't need to find any master to tell fortunes, and you know that you will definitely meet a nobleman.
For Ding Cheng, he is as close as his son from the heart!
This kind of relationship is very complicated, I want him to get ahead, get out of China, bring kung fu films back to the international stage, and let foreigners see the future of new kung fu films.
I was worried about his safety, because the road was too hard...... It's so bitter!
Ding Cheng felt the concern from his father, Liu Tianwang was two years older than his father, and the reason why he was able to thrive on Hong Kong Island was all due to his help.
Raising his wine glass, he said emotionally: "Don't worry, you don't have to do any dangerous things, everything is leisurely." ”
"Okay!" Liu Tianwang's eyes were a little moist, as if he was watching the child grow up, and finally left and embarked on the path that belonged to them.
took a deep breath and deliberately joked: "Don't be pressured, it's a big deal to come back, our tens of billions of box office in China can't support you kid?"
"Hahaha......"
In the next few days, I visited several directors I had worked with, Johnny To, Zhuang Wenqiang, Lin Chaoxian, and Tsui Hark......
Everyone sent sincere blessings, and now they all understand that China is too small for Ding Cheng, and there is a broader stage waiting for him to challenge.
When I returned to the capital, I even had a meal with the big leader, and my words were full of encouragement, hoping not to be afraid and rush forward bravely.
"There is a leader who nods, and tomorrow your national first-class actor will be certain. Cheng Daoming said with a smile: "The above sentence, what bullshit, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all out of here!"
Ding Cheng laughed, never took those jumping clowns to heart, and relied on the works and box office to slap their faces.
"Not only South Korea, but also last year re-signed a film import treaty with the island country, and increased film exchanges between the two countries every year. ”
"The summer file introduced two island films at the same time, the first time in history. Cartoons, in particular, are higher than live-action box office. ”
Cheng Daoming took out the information and handed it to Ding Cheng and said: "South Korea, you have gained a firm foothold, and the next step is to pay more attention to the island market." ”
Ding Cheng nodded, and quickly browsed the information, although Blizzard was about to get the Tokyo actor, he still didn't know much about the film industry in that country.
Last year, the number of attendees was 167 million, an increase of 3.2% over the previous year's 161 million.
Last year, more than 500 local movies were released, the ticket price was stable at 1,500 yen, and the box office was 300 billion yen, almost 20 billion yuan?
"The biggest feature over there is that animated films and comic book adaptations are particularly popular, and last year, only "Legal Heroes", which ranked third, and "Babes", which ranked eighth, were live-action films that were not adapted from comics. ”
Cheng Daoming analyzed: "It's the same with imported movies, what "Super Marines", "Cinderella", "Minions with Big Eyes" and "Brain Agent" perform well, and they all seem to like watching children's things?"
