On June 10, 1982, a 200-meter-long red carpet had already been laid outside the Jiayi Xinjian Building in Tiu Frag Cinema, and celebrities in the entertainment industry walked into the main hall of Jiayi TV through the carpet. In the early days of the construction of this hall, Wang Jie required that it must be able to undertake a large-scale party of 10,000 people, and the main building is divided into three floors, and it is also equipped with a rare lifting platform in this era.

Wang Jie took Audrey Hepburn's men and got out of the car, looking at the fans in front of the Jiayi Building, especially seeing the heads of many stars raised high in the crowd, he couldn't help but laugh. It's as if it's a memorial service.

Entering the building and taking the elevator up, he followed the signs to the second floor, and after entering, Wang Jie found that Hong Kong Governor MacLehose had also come.

There were quite a few reporters, about twenty or thirty media outlets, all close to the back row on the first floor. The celebrities were besieged as soon as they appeared, and the content of these interviews was varied, and most of them developed towards gossip.

In addition to the film tycoons Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, Chung Yijie, an official of the Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration, and Zhang Youxin, chairman of the Urban Council, also attended the ceremony, and they were also guests of honor. From this point of view, Wang Jie's support for the Xiangjiang International Film Awards has received support from certain departments of the Hong Kong government.

There are more and more people in the main hall of Jiayi TV, including actors, directors, screenwriters and other filmmakers, as well as some film critics and ordinary fans.

Zhou Yanfa loosened his tie to breathe, looked around for a week and said to Zhong Chuhong beside him: "Aunt Hong, am I dressed too formally today?"

Zhong Chuhong said with a smile: "How can you think that you are dressed too formally? ”

Zhou Yan pointed around and said, "Mr. William must have spent a lot of money this time. ”

Zhong Chuhong raised his eyes and looked, in addition to Zou Wenhuai, Shao Yifu and other film company bosses, there were many people in the film industry who did not know and were obviously from other countries.

Several department managers from DreamWorks came, and Sammo Hung from Golden Harvest soon joined in.

The officiating emcees of the award ceremony are Ng Ka-lian and Mao Shunjun, the former is a senior host of Heung Kong Radio, and the latter is the entertainment host of Jiayi TV.

After the two hosts came on the stage, Wu Jialian glanced down and said to Mao Shunjun beside him: "Ah Jun, there are many powerful characters at today's award ceremony. ”

Mao Shunjun asked cooperatively: "Really, who are the big names here?" ”

Ng said: "Are Mr. MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr Chung of the Chief Secretary for Administration, and Mr. William of DreamWorks considered big shots?"

Mao Shunjun nodded and said: "Yes, yes, they are all big shots, if Mr. William is unhappy, I won't have to do it in a word." ”

There was a burst of chuckle from the audience, and Wang Jie, who was teased by the two hosts, also laughed.

Chen Bosen, who was sitting in the audience, was a little nervous, and said to Shu Qi beside him: "Will these two people be too casual?"

Shu Qi was only in his twenties at this time, originally a native of Bao'an, Pengcheng, worked as a screenwriter of Jiayi, and later joined Jiahe as a choreographer and assistant director, and later founded "Film Biweekly" with Chen Bosen and others and served as the editor-in-chief. This time with Tang Shuxuan to establish the Xiangjiang International Film Awards, it can be described as hard work, but fortunately, with Wang Jie's full support, many things are going well.

Shu Qi said helplessly: "This is what Ms. Tang requested, which is intended to make the atmosphere of the Xiangjiang International Film Awards more relaxed." ”

On stage, Wu Jialian continued: "Today we are going to present the Xiangjiang International Film Awards, Ah Jun, do you know how many years of history of Xiangjiang films?"

Mao Shunjun was surprised: "When you ask this, I really don't know." ”

Wu Jialian smiled: "Actually, I don't know, but Mr. Xian Qiran has made a brief history of Hong Kong films, please watch the big screen!"

The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and the beams of the projector were projected on the big screen, and the two presenters had already left. A black-and-white still from a movie appeared on the screen, and a voiceover sounded: "In 1909, Binjiemen Brasky, the owner of the Shanghai 'Asia Film Company', filmed the silent comedy "Stealing Roast Duck" in Hong Kong. The main creators of the film are all from the Hong Kong theater industry, the director is Leung Shaopo, and the actors are Leung Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Lai Beihai, etc., and the history of Hong Kong film has begun......"

This is followed by a black-and-white photograph of the street, with the voiceover explaining: "In 1911, the first luxury cinema in Hong Kong, the Victoria Cinema, was completed in Des Voeux Road Central......"

When another black-and-white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Shao Yifu couldn't help but sit up straight.

In 1913, the first feature film produced in Hong Kong, "Zhuangzi Tries a Wife", was screened. The choreographer is Lai Man-wai, the photographer is Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors are Lai Man-wai and Yan Shanshan. This film marks the end of the enlightenment period of Hong Kong cinema, the beginning of the embryonic period, and opens a new page in the history of Hong Kong cinema. In 1913, this year was the first year of Hong Kong cinema in the true sense, and the photo you saw on the screen was Mr. Lai Man-wai, the father of Hong Kong cinema......"

Wang Jie doesn't know much about Li Minwei, but Li Minwei's granddaughter Li Zi has been raised at home by him early.

Watching the scenes on the big screen, Wang Jie couldn't help but think: A hundred years later, what is his status in the history of world cinema?

Perhaps for fear of causing controversy, this film with a brief history of Hong Kong films was not continued after Bruce Lee's death. The film has a lot of ink on the struggle for hegemony in the 50s and the history of the struggle of the Shaw Brothers in the 60s, but Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai have betrayed the Shaw Brothers one after another, but it is only a passing mention. To put it bluntly, in a certain year and month, director Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers to go to Taiwan to found Guolian Pictures, and in a certain year and month, Mr. Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers to found Golden Harvest.

Even so, the Xiangjiang filmmakers at the scene also responded with a warm applause, after all, the seniors who appeared in the film just now are all seniors in the industry.

After a round of applause, the two presenters returned to the stage. Ng said: "The next award is this year's Best Film. ”

Mao Shunjun said excitedly: "I would like to invite Mr. Akira Kurosawa and Mr. George Lucas, the chairmen of the first Xiangjiang International Film Awards!"

Akira Kurosawa and George Lucas walked on the podium together, and five scenes flashed on the big screen, and the voiceover explained: "The best films that won this year's Xiangjiang International Film Awards are "Father and Son Love", directed by Fang Yuping, "The Story of Hu Yue", directed by Xu Anhua, "The Call of the Distant Mountains", directed by Yoji Yamada, "The Wind", directed by William Rothschild Wang, and "Xinhai Double Ten", directed by Ding Shanxi. ”

Akira Kurosawa opened the envelope and handed the list of winners to George Lucas, who opened the list and read in English: "The best film that won this year's Xiangjiang International Film Awards is "Father and Son". ”

The director of "Father and Son" is Fang Yuping, who was not present today, and it was the CEO of Phoenix Pictures who went up to accept the award on his behalf. The boss is over sixty years old, and today he deliberately wore a Mao suit, which seemed to show his demeanor as a leftist filmmaker, walked up to the stage to receive the award certificate from Miss Manners, and said a short acceptance speech into the microphone: "Thank you, thank you to the organizing committee for the affirmation and recognition of "Father and Son", Phoenix Pictures will make more good movies to serve the people in the future." ”

After the applause, the two presenters returned to the stage again. Ng said: "The best director award will be presented below. ”

Mao Shunjun continued: "I would like to invite Mr. Li Hanxiang and Mr. Xie Jin, the chairmen of the first Xiangjiang International Film Awards!"

Li Hanxiang and Xie Jin walked on the podium together, and four scenes flashed on the big screen, and the voiceover explained: "The best directors who won this year's Xiangjiang International Film Awards are Xu Anhua, the director of "The Story of Hu Yue"; ”

Li Hanxiang opened the list and read: "The best director who won this year's Xiangjiang International Film Awards is Ms. Xu Anhua, the director of "The Story of Hu Yue", congratulations!"

Xu Anhua walked up to the podium, took the trophy and said happily: "Thank you to Mr. William of DreamWorks Pictures, thank you to Ms. Liang Shuyi of Jiayi, and thank you to all the staff of the crew, thank you, this award is also for you." ”

After that, he presented awards such as Best Screenplay and Best Actor and Actress

Huang Baiming announced: "The winner of the best screenplay is "The Story of Hu Yue" - Zhang Jianting!"

Although "The Story of Hu Yue" is a movie produced by DreamWorks, Zhang Jianting is not a screenwriter of DreamWorks. When he heard Huang Baiming shouting his name, Zhang Jianting thought he had heard it wrong, and after confirming it, he ran to the stage.

Zhang Jianting is a veritable newcomer to the film industry, and has only written two scripts so far, he said excitedly: "In fact, this script is thanks to director Xu Anhua, in the process of script creation, she gave me a lot of advice, giving this script a more profound connotation." Thank you!"

After Zhang Jianting stepped down with a trophy, Shao Yifu was invited to the stage to announce the list of winners of the Best Actress.

Shao Yifu's eyes seemed to be a little bad, the envelope was very close, and he didn't sell it, and announced in one breath: "The winner of the best actress is Lin Qingxia of "The Wind". ”

Lin Qingxia has won an Asian actress once before (with a lot of water), and she has never won the Golden Horse Award for the best actress, but she didn't expect her to win the Best Actress award at the first Xiangjiang International Film Awards.

Lin Qingxia happily ran to the stage to accept the award, hugged Shao Yifu, held the trophy and said: "Thank you to the Organizing Committee of the Xiangjiang International Film Awards, and even more to Director William, who allowed me to successfully interpret Gu Xiaomeng, a female image with such a personality......"

Zhao Yazhi looked at Lin Qingxia, who was giving an acceptance speech on stage, and felt a little lost in her heart, in fact, Li Ningyu played by her had a great chance of winning the award.

However, the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor were not won by DreamWorks, the Best Actor was won by Ken Takakura in "The Call of the Distant Mountains", and the Best Supporting Actor was won by Zheng Yuke in "Father and Son".

The image setting of the trophy this time Wang Jie plagiarized the Feitian image of the future Huaxia Feitian Award, but some modifications were made, the skirt on the Feitian Fairy was replaced with film, and what she was holding in her hand was a purple gold flower.

After the end of the Xiangjiang International Film Awards, Wang Jie hosted a banquet for all the staff in the No. 2 conference hall of Jiayi TV, and the chef was the chef hired in advance from the Yanjing Hotel and the State Banquet Hotel.

The first Xiangjiang International Film Awards were held a little sloppily, and many places were not satisfactory, but the results were quite satisfactory, and it also opened up the reputation of the Academy Awards.
