Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After a brief speech by Jin Donghu, Amamba, Chairman of the Executive Committee, took the stage to make a concluding statement, and then the award ceremony officially began.
The first award was the Lifetime Achievement Award, which Hou Hyo-hyun presented to South Korean director Lim Kwon-taek as a guest. When Lin Quanze walked onto the stage and took the trophy from Hou Xiaoxian's hand, everyone present collectively stood up and gave their own applause.
Lim Kwon-taek is a national director of South Korea and has made more than 100 films in the past few decades. In 2002, "Drunken Painted Fairy" won him Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, making history for Korean cinema. In addition to directing his works, Lim Kwon-taek was also the initiator and leader of the "skinhead movement" in South Korea in '98, when he went to the forefront of the protests as a respected elder and led South Korea's stalwarts filmmakers to resist Hollywood's invasion of South Korea.
Next was the Best Supporting Actor Award, and the award presenter Jun Ji-hyun walked out of the backstage in a white dress. After she took the stage, she gave an enthusiastic speech, and then introduced the shortlist: "Let's take a look at the shortlisted actors first, they are: "Three Fools" Chen Daoming, "Father and Son" Wu Zhitao, "Han River Monster" Bian Hee-bong, "Eternal Sunset of the Three-chome" Tsutsumi Shinichi, "North Zero Year" Kagawa Teruyuki. ”
Zhang Ran turned his head to Chen Daoming and said, "I think you have a lot of hope for this award!"
Chen Daoming has acted in dramas for half his life, and he looks down on the awards. If Zhang Ran hadn't called him to come, he wouldn't have come at all, and said lightly: "Actually, an award doesn't mean anything, at most it shows that you have done a good job in a period of time, and others have summarized it for you!"
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "It's too pretending, I'll give you 99 points, and the 1 point deducted is for fear of your pride!"
Chen Daoming put on a straight face, pretending to be angry and said, "Stinky boy, what did you say?"
Jia Milk Liang was directly happy next to him, only Teacher Zhang dared to say this, if others said so, Chen Daoming would definitely turn his face.
Zhang Ran grinned, pointed to the stage and said, "It's nothing, it's a lottery, it's a lottery!"
Sure enough, Jun Ji-hyun on the stage opened the award list in his hand and read aloud: ""Three Fools" Chen Daoming. ”
A burst of applause broke out at the scene, and the Chinese filmmakers present were particularly energetic.
Jia Nanliang jumped up and said excitedly: "Teacher Chen, congratulations on winning the award!"
Zhang Ran gave Jia Niangliang a slap: "What are you shouting, isn't it right for Mr. Chen to win the award!" and then said to Chen Daoming, who was tidying up his clothes: "Don't tidy up, it's handsome enough, is it possible that you still want to seduce a Korean girl?" Hurry up and go on stage, by the way, don't forget to thank me!"
Chen Daoming glared at Zhang Ran, scolded the stinky boy in his heart, and then stepped onto the stage.
Receiving the trophy from Jun Ji-hyun's hand, Chen Daoming said indifferently: "Thank you Asian Film Academy for awarding this award to me." In fact, like many actors, I don't want to repeat myself, and I long for a director to break me. However, it is difficult for my generation to break me, they have a fixed belief in me, and they don't want to break me, so I especially want to work with young directors. It's a pity that young directors often think that I am a senior, and they are not willing to communicate with me even if they cooperate. Only Zhang Ran is an exception, he dares to slap the table with me and quarrel with me, it is precisely because of Zhang Ran that he has this role and this award. So, thank you, Zhang Ran! Those words were just asked by Zhang Ran, so my task is complete! Thank you!"
The audience burst into laughter.
Waiting for Chen Daoming to come down from the stage, Zhang Ran directly snatched the trophy: "You take revenge for personal gain, as a punishment, I confiscated the trophy!"
After Chen Daoming won the Best Supporting Actor, the luck of "Three Fools" seemed to run out, and the next best visual effects, best art direction, and best cinematography all failed, causing Jia Niliang to scold the judges for not having a level.
It wasn't until the Best Screenplay award that everyone began to hold their breath again.
"The nominees for Best Original Screenplay are, "Three Fools" Zhang Ran, "The Life of the Disgusted Songko" Tetsuya Nakajima, "The Color of Basati" Rakesh Omparakash Mehala, "Offside" Jafa Panahi, and "Kind Gold" Park Chan-wook ......"
"The winner of the best screenplay is, "Three Fools" Zhang Ran!"
Zhang Ran stood up with a smile amid applause, hugged Jia Niliang and Chen Daoming, and then walked onto the stage.
"Three Fools" did quite well at the box office in South Korea, and the movie aroused a strong response after its release, so when I heard that "Three Fools" won the Best Screenplay Award, the applause at the scene was particularly warm, until Zhang Ran took the trophy and walked to the microphone to speak, the applause stopped temporarily.
Zhang Ran took the trophy, looked at the audience, and said, "I'm very happy to get this award." The first thing that won this award is thanks to Chitan Bahat, the author of the novel "The Five Point Man", without whose novel there would be no film. Secondly, I would like to thank all the colleagues of the crew of "Three Fools", I would not have been able to complete this film without your efforts, this trophy belongs not only to me, but also to you! Thank you, thank you!"
The speech was very brief, but the response was enthusiastic, and the scene once again resounded with thunderous applause.
Next, after a few more awards were awarded, the Asian Film Academy Awards were left with four most important awards, Best Actor, Actress, Best Director and Best Picture, and everyone present stared at the stage with bright eyes.
Liu Hua walked up to the stage, smiled and said two opening sentences, and the big screen behind him began to play the performance footage of the five actresses.
"If Love" heroine Zhou Xun, "The Two of Us" heroine Jin Yaqin, "You Are My Destiny" heroine Jeon Do-yeon, "Kind Gold" heroine Lee Young-ae, and "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" heroine Miki Nakatani, any actor has the strength to win an award, and this award should be the most suspenseful of all awards.
Zhang Ran looked at Chen Daoming and asked, "Who do you think the actress is?"
Chen Daoming said: "I just watched "If Love" and "The Two of Us", I don't know. ”
Zhang Ran asked again: "Zhou Xun or Jin Yaqin, which one do you think is better?"
Chen Daoming said: "I think it's Jin Yaqin, which one do you choose?"
Zhang Ran nodded: "I voted for Jin Yaqin, in the movie, the old lady's eyes were bright at the beginning, and her voice was sonorous and powerful;
Sure enough, Andy Lau on the stage announced loudly: "The winner of the Best Actress is, Jin Yaqin for "The Two of Us"!"
When Jin Yaqin took the trophy on stage with Ma Liwen's support and delivered an acceptance speech, Zhang Ran said with some emotion: "Actually, we have a lot of good actors, but it's a pity that they have too few opportunities!"
Chen Daoming also admired Jin Yaqin's acting skills very much, and said with emotion: "Yes, we have a lot of good actors, you directors should give more opportunities to good actors!"
When the award presenter for Best Actor walked onto the stage, Jia Niliang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her breathing was a little short. Although he knew that he had almost no chance of winning the award, he was still full of desire for this award and looked forward to a miracle.
However, a miracle did not appear, and Song Kang-ho, the actor of "Monster of the Han River", defeated many strong players and won the trophy for Best Actor.
Seeing that Jia Niliang was a little lost, Zhang Ran patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Your career as an actor has just begun, as long as you act well, you will definitely be able to win awards in the future." However, there is one thing you should pay attention to, you must pay attention to control when acting, your personality is relatively jumpy, and acting is easy to use too much force and become exaggerated. Not every director will stare at you like I do, you have to learn to control yourself!"
Jia Niliang said with a hippie smile: "Teacher Zhang, you also know that my self-control is very poor, if I don't have you to take care of me, I will be very easy to exaggerate in acting, so you will find me to film more in the future!"
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and spit out a word: "Get out!"
The award for best director was Lim Kwon-taek, who had just received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and after he took the stage to say a few words, clips of the five nominated films began to play on the big screen.
"Three Fools" Jang Ran, "Monster of the Han River" Bong Joon-ho, "The Life of a Disgusted Songko" Tetsuya Nakajima, "The Color of Basati" Rakesh Omparakash Mehala, and "Kind Gold" Park Chan-wook.
When Lin Quanze began to open the envelope, the live music was transformed into a rapid drum beat, and the camera color all turned to the five directors, and on the big screen, the expressions of the five directors were also divided into five frames and presented to the audience in real time.
Jang Ran and Park Chan-wook are the most calm, after all, they are the ones who have won awards at the three major film festivals, Bong Joon-ho is more serious, Nakajima Tetsuya is smiling, and Mehala is the most nervous, sweating on her head.
When the drum beat reached its peak, Lin Quanze finally said the name of the winner: "Tetsuya Nakajima in "The Life of Disgusted Matsuko"!"
Tetsuya Nakajima stood up and shook his fist vigorously, looking very excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to defeat famous filmmakers such as Zhang Ran, Hou Hyo-hyun, and Park Chan-wook and win the Best Director Award, which was like a dream.
The audience is applauding, Zhang Ran is also applauding, he voted for the best director in the first place to "The Life of the Disgusted Songzi", this movie has many relatively novel places in the film language, and it is reasonable to win the best director award.
Now there is only the final award, the Best Film Award, which is also the highest honor of the Asian Film Academy Awards, and it is the embodiment of the comprehensive strength of a film.
The five shortlisted films are, the Chinese film "Three Fools", the Korean film "Monster of the Han River", the Japanese film "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", the Indian film "The Color of Basati", and the Chinese Taiwan "The Best Time".
In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Amamba, chairman of the executive committee, revealed the final suspense: "The best film that won the first Asian Film Academy Awards was the Korean film "Han River Monster"!
Bong Joon-ho jumped up from his seat as if he had a spring under his buttocks, raising his arms and shouting. He was so excited that he didn't know how to express it, so he could only express his inner joy in this way.
The Korean audience stood up, cheering and screaming as if they had won the Oscar, while the other filmmakers also stood up and applauded with blessings
Chen Daoming looked at Zhang Ran and applauded and said: ""Three Fools" only won two small awards, which is considered a complete failure, as the director and producer of the movie, what do you think now?"
Zhang Ran smiled brightly: "I'm very happy, even though I lost, I won the Asian Film Academy Award!"
