Chapter 467: The Significance of the Newcomer Award
The situation is completely different, with the award of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award, mainland films have won two cities in a row, surpassing Wanwan's local films in terms of quantity, and it seems that there is a great possibility of competing with Hong Kong films.
Of course, if you only talk about the quantity, the biggest winner of this session is definitely Xiangjiang Films, they have won eight trophies, this number is far ahead, according to tonight's situation, in the later awards, they are unlikely to win a single award, so there is no doubt that they can't compete.
Awards are not only based on quantity, but also on quality, technical awards have always been not valued, art, modeling, songs, music, special effects are not a major award, they are the legendary chicken ribs, and even used as a consolation prize whenever the award is unbalanced.
Just like the award for Best Original Movie Song, everyone knows how influential "I Believe" is, for this song Zhou Bai specially invited Korean musicians to tailor for the movie, after the movie was released, with its excellent melody, this song has become popular throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia, and has become a recognized classic, but it just failed to win the award for Best Original Film Song, and even the winning opponents felt incredible.
The Best Adapted Screenplay and the Best Original Screenplay are awards second only to the Supporting Actor and Actress Awards, and Zhou Bai is very satisfied with winning these two trophies, which also means that in the competition with "Infernal Affairs", "Painless Lovelorn" has not fallen behind, and who will die tonight depends on the final battle.
Before the decisive battle, Zhou Bai still needed to go on stage to present the award, and after he finished his acceptance speech for the Best Original Screenplay Award, Zhou Bai walked off the stage, but he did not return to his seat, but waited backstage, and the next Best New Actor Award also required him to present awards to the winning actors.
After a song and dance, Cai Kangyong and Zheng Yuling said a series of words, in a thunderous applause, Zhou Bai and Yuan Yang held hands on stage, the appearance of the pair of beautiful people triggered a fanatical response from fans, and the screams continued.
"Hello everyone, I'm actor Zhou Bai, and this one next to me is Yuan Xiang, and we will award the Best New Actor Award next. Walking to the microphone, Zhou Bai said calmly, and did not forget to wave to the fans upstairs, there are many fans who came today, and they gathered together to cheer for him, so Zhou Bai also responded to the enthusiastic fans.
"Hello everyone, I'm actor Yuan Xiang, and I'm very happy to come to the Golden Horse Awards. Yuan Yang was generous and greeted everyone in a steady tone, today her makeup is elegant, with elegant brand-name dresses, giving full play to her gentle and elegant temperament.
"Time is so fast, a long time has passed unconsciously, when I learned that the jury wanted me to present the Best New Actor Award, I felt very emotional, I have always felt that I am a newcomer to the industry, but I didn't expect that it would be possible to present awards to new actors in a flash. After Zhou Bai waited for the cheers to stop, he spoke with a look of emotion.
"Well, time flies, I still remember the apprehension when I made my first movie, that kind of excitement, in order to play the role well, I tried my best to find information, to experience life, day and night to figure out the role, all the thoughts at that time were to play well, it seems like something just happened yesterday, I remember when I had a question, I asked you for help. Yuan Yan went on to say that as an award presenter, she would have a short period of free play, and she had nothing to say to Zhou Bai, so she chatted casually.
Yuan Xiang was a sophomore when she took over the play "Spring Rhapsody", even if she was a student majoring in Chinese opera acting, she was still a newcomer in the final analysis, far less calm than she imagined, and she was full of fantasies about the future.
"Yes, at that time, the most discussed thing was what skills to use to perform a good role, and I also specially accompanied you to the teahouse to observe how the drum performers, recorded their movements, eyes, and status, and even specially asked them how their daily lives ......" Zhou Bai nodded and said, he said the truth, but the guests and fans below immediately coaxed, these two turned out to be like this.
"Oh......" The long tail note makes people reverie, and Yuan Yu, who is already experienced on stage, was also blushed by the strange voices of these people, and his eyes seemed to be dripping.
"Okay, don't make trouble, Yuan Yang and I are classmates, and we should help each other. Zhou Bai said cheekily, that serious appearance made the acquaintances below laugh, his relationship with Yuan Yang was known all over the world, but it was still just as interesting to ridicule these two people.
"When I passed the rookie stage, I actually looked back and realized that whether I had been trained in a professional college or got the opportunity to act by chance, I was full of hope and fear in the rookie stage, and at the same time, I was full of hope and anticipation for the future. Zhou Bai finally forcibly pulled the topic back, and said after exchanging a look with Yuan Yang helplessly.
"Yes, when you first enter the industry, it is often the purest time for a person, the original intention is precious, then again, the award we are about to award is the Best New Actor Award, Zhou Bai, what do you think is the meaning of the Best New Actor in your mind?"
"If you take it purely literally, it is the best new actor in the selection range in recognition of his outstanding performance in the movie, but in my understanding, the best new actor is not only to commend the outstanding new actors, but also a willingness to inherit, this is the Golden Horse Awards' best wishes and expectations for Chinese films, the torch of Chinese films is passed on from generation to generation, and it is endless, because of these new forces to join, Chinese films will become more and more brilliant and move to higher peaks. Zhou Bai talked eloquently, he was not prepared for these words at all, and he was completely free to play.
"That's right, the addition of every new actor is the growth of Chinese films, the road of acting is not easy to walk, maybe you will suffer a lot, you may suffer a lot, you may suffer a lot, or you will be unknown, and you will even be tortured by various emotions, there will be many people leaving this industry along the way, and there will also be many people joining in, working silently, the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor is not only a trophy, but also an expectation on behalf of the Golden Horse Awards, I hope you can become the backbone of Chinese films, contribute to Chinese films, and let Chinese films go to the worldใ โ
"Papa!" The applause was thunderous, Zhou Bai and Yuan Yan's words caused applause from the audience, whether it was an old filmmaker or a newcomer present, whether it was a little known or already famous, whether it was the mainland or Xiangjiang or Wanwan, at this moment they all have the same identity, that is, Chinese filmmakers, these words resonated with them, and even some people have tears in their eyes.
"Let's take a look at the shortlist for the Best Newcomer Award at this year's Golden Horse Awards. After the applause slowly stopped, Zhou Bai said to Yuan Yu and turned his head to look at the big screen.
Wang Baoqiang - "Blind Well"
Jung Ji-yoon - "Run! Kid"
Zhang Jie - "Missing"
Some wonderful pictures of the finalists in the movie appeared on the screen, and then the camera focused on them, and the three faces were presented on the big screen one by one, originally Lin Yichen was also shortlisted for the best newcomer actor in addition to the best actress, but she was not the first film work, and the final finalist was invalid.
Zhou Bai saw that Wang Baoqiang was obviously nervous, but he still had to show a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, this is a kind of torture for this child, of course, the expectation in his eyes also made Zhou Bai feel relieved.
"Let's announce the winners. Zhou Bai opened the envelope and glanced at it, then handed it to Yuan Yu.
"The winner of the Best New Actor at the 40th Golden Horse Awards is ......" Yuan looked at the envelope and then read.
"Wang Baoqiang!"
"Jung Ji-yoon!"
