Chapter 466: Connecting Two Cities
Every year, before the Golden Horse Awards, everyone is most concerned about which films, which actors, and directors are nominated, that is, who will be the presenters and who will award what awards?
Of course, whoever partners with whom, there is knowledge in them, and although you don't have to bear the torment of waiting as an award presenter, how to speak so as not to be cold when you are on stage is also a kind of pressure.
In order to make the Golden Horse Awards more attractive, the awarding guests often arrange celebrities with topicality or weight as much as possible to come on stage, and the more important the award, the more it is necessary to arrange stars with a large enough coffee position to show the importance of the award and keep the topic hot.
The award presenters for the best editing are Ren Dahua and Wu Jiali, they are half-aged middle-aged movie stars, they are not starry but have a good reputation, and Ren Dahua is a shortlisted actor for Best Actor, so it is also complementary to let him partner with Wu Jiali as the award presenter.
The situation of the award presenters for the Best Cinematography Award is much better, and the arrangement is Wu Yanzu and South Korean actress Kim Yunzhen, these two are all hot and messy artists in the past two years, all of them have their own traffic, one is the best actor shortlisted actor with super high appearance, and the other is South Korea's latest rising powerful actress, who just won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Actress last year, and the effect of the two of them is simply explosive.
After all, they are young actors, and although many people can't understand English on stage, everyone still watches it with relish, because this pair of partners even if they stand on it and make everyone feel that they have earned money just by looking at their appearance, so it is no wonder that the cheers of the fans almost shook the ceiling of the auditorium when they went on stage.
Zhou Bai was also a scheduled award presenter, but after the nomination came out, he found that there were indeed a lot of films related to him, no matter which award presenter he was, it didn't seem to be suitable, and it seemed that there might be a situation where he would award the award to himself, so he looked around, only to find that only the Best New Actor Award could not be so embarrassing.
The organizers of the Golden Horse Awards are also bitter, it is very difficult to invite people this year, if Zhou Bai does not go on stage again, they will have to find a way to invite the right person, and the topic of veteran filmmakers cannot be compared at all, but no matter how you let an international actor award be awarded, it is a bit of a drop, but just give up and be unwilling, which makes the organizers extremely entangled.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai took the initiative to speak after knowing this situation through the channel, which alleviated the embarrassment of the Golden Horse organizers, and he took the initiative to take over the task of the presenter of the newcomer award, and by the way, even solved the problem of the female partner who partnered with him.
Of course, the candidate for the female companion cannot be Gong Li, if the Berlin actor and actress go on stage together to present a Best New Actor Award that is not heavy, not to mention that the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards can't open their mouths, Zhou Bai and Gong Li will not agree, and if they give such an award on stage, I'm afraid the media won't agree, and it is almost predictable that the Golden Horse organizers will be criticized by words.
Zhou Bai's partner is Yuan Xiang, and the two of them went on stage to present the award together, which was to give the Golden Horse face, and they didn't talk about the amount of topics on stage together, but people couldn't find anything wrong, and it was not okay for the last actor to take his daughter-in-law to return the Golden Horse Awards?
However, before Zhou Bai and Yuan Yu took the stage to present the Best New Actor Award, there were still several awards to be awarded, namely Best Action Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay, so I could only leave my seat during performance time after the awards were awarded.
The best action design was given to "A Thousand Changes", and the winner was also an old acquaintance of Zhou Bai, because the action director of "A Thousand Changes" is the action actor Donnie Yen, who has worked with Zhou Bai in two movies, but unfortunately he was still busy filming on the set today and couldn't come over.
The Best Sound Award went to "Infernal Affairs", in this award, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is really not competitive, although the weight of the award is not too heavy, and the technical award has always been taken seriously, but seeing that Xiangjiang Films has won awards repeatedly, the taste in the hearts of mainland filmmakers sitting in the audience is not comfortable.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" can almost be regarded as completely wiped out, among the awards that have been awarded, none of the trophies it has been shortlisted for have been won, and at this moment, even Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan in the audience have a somewhat solemn expression, and this result is difficult for them to accept for a while.
They didn't get nominated for individual awards, which doesn't mean they don't want the crew of "My Sassy Girlfriend" to win the award, but unfortunately the result is bitter, the Golden Horse Awards have always had a soft spot for art films, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" accompanied the whole process and became the biggest loser.
I didn't expect that there was no consolation prize, I could only watch others cheer again and again, hold the trophy high and enjoy the joy of success, this taste will not be easy for anyone to accept, of course, there is also "PTU", now it is also a miss, no one has won, but people can also compete for other awards, "My Sassy Girlfriend" has only one nomination left without results, and it seems to be enough to choke.
The Best Visual Effects Award fell to the crew of "A Thousand Changes", a commercial blockbuster with a production cost of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, is the largest computer stunt production of Xiangjiang movies after "Fengyun" and "Shaolin Football", the gimmick promoted by people is international action actors plus Hollywood-level special effects, and the selling point is action and special effects, of course, in fact, they have done a really good job, so there is no opponent at this year's Golden Horse Awards or next year's Academy Awards.
After Fan Xiaopang won the sweet moment of Best Supporting Actress, the next period of time was bitter for the filmmakers who came to the Golden Horse Awards tonight, and the originally promising awards were missed one after another, this kind of experience was not a comfortable thing for everyone.
In this atmosphere, Fan Xiaopang's joy was also diluted a lot, holding a lonely trophy in her hand seemed to be like a candy, the only comfort, and for a while, all kinds of thoughts flashed in her head were chaotic, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Fortunately, the downturn did not continue, and when the award presenter Guan Jingpeng, the guest of honor for the best adapted screenplay, announced that the award-winning film was "Blind Well", the originally depressed mainland filmmakers burst into cheers, and the enthusiasm was eye-catching, and they could finally exhale and raise their eyebrows.
It can only be said that tonight's award is too elusive, but fortunately, the best adapted screenplay is a normal time, this sudden result makes people who are already prepared for disappointment feel very caught off guard, and the sudden surprise can be uplifting for people who are depressed, and it is no wonder that a mainland filmmaker is excited.
Everyone has been silent for too long tonight, and their hearts have been shrouded in layers of ominous premonitions, and most of them feel that maybe tonight's harvest may be very small, but they didn't expect the peak to turn around, and the situation has finally changed.
Li Yang's acceptance speech was very simple, he simply said some words of thanks and stepped off the stage, without dragging his feet at all, and was as calm as ever.
After the award for the best adapted screenplay was awarded, followed by the award for the best original screenplay, the guest of honor was Guan Jingpeng, he did not procrastinate, and simply read the envelope and read out the name of the winner, and this time, it seems to announce that the trend of tonight's awards has completely changed.
The film that won the best original screenplay was - "Painless Lovebreak"!
