Chapter 153: Awards Gala (Part II)
"Surprised, surprised?"
When Wang Zheng took the stage to accept the award, Guan Zhilin whispered proudly in his ear while hugging.
"Surprise your size, you are not allowed to play such a slippery head in the future. ”
"People want to surprise you. ”
Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't show any surprise, Guan Zhilin curled the corners of his dissatisfied mouth.
"Ah Zheng, congratulations, you won a few more prizes tonight. ”
While the two were whispering, Zhou Yanfa handed over the blue crystal trophy to Wang Zheng.
"Then borrow the words of the brothers!"
After hugging Zhou Runfa, Wang Zheng said in his acceptance speech: "The Academy Awards are really creative, the trophy is different every year, I don't know what kind of look it will be next year." ”
Wang Zheng's small complaint made the audience burst into laughter, from the first metal man to the second muscular man holding up the planet, the trophy of the Academy Awards has been changing, and the third has become today's blue crystal square.
"But no matter how the shape changes, this is the Academy Awards' affirmation of the efforts of the Hong Kong filmmakers in the past year, thank you for the affirmation given to me by the Film Biweekly, thank you to the Shaw Brothers Films for providing me with the platform, and thank you to the behind-the-scenes staff of "Crazy Stone", as well as the actors who performed brilliantly in the play, this award is our common win, thank you!"
Wang Zheng's brief speech made the audience burst into applause, and Guan Zhilin did not go backstage when he got off the stage, but accompanied Wang Zheng to sit in the seat of the crew of "Crazy Stone".
As director Wang Zheng said just now, the Academy Awards are an affirmation and encouragement for many filmmakers, whether they win the award or not, Xiangjiang Film needs everyone here to work together, and we will award the Best Actor Award below. ”
The nominees for Best Actor include Wang Zhengfang starring in "Half of the People", Wan Ziliang starring in "Men and Women", Hong Jinbao starring in "Scary", Wu Yaohan starring in "Five Lucky Stars", and newcomer Liang Jiahui's "Listening to Politics".
Before the lottery, insiders predicted that this year's actor would either be replaced by Hong Jin's crown or the popular wireless student Wan Ziliang, but he never expected that the actor was finally won by newcomer Liang Jiahui and became the youngest actor at the Academy Awards, I believe that the 22-year-old actor record will be difficult to break in a short time.
The unreasonable cards of the Academy Awards made Taiwan fall glasses.
thought that Hong Jinbao, who cared about the actor very much, would be very disappointed, and Wang Zheng comforted him: "Brother Sanmao, don't be too disappointed, you will take it again next time." ”
Hong Jinbao was very generous: "But I haven't taken it to heart if it's just a leading actor." ”
Although Hong Jinbao didn't care about it on his face, he didn't know if he thought so.
Liang Jiahui, the youngest actor in the history of the Academy Awards, spoke very excitedly about his acceptance speech, and then presented the Best Actress Award.
The final winner of the Best Actress surprised the filmmakers in the audience, I thought that Liang Jiahui, the second leading actor of "Listening to Politics through the Curtain", could be crowned emperor, and Liu Xiaoqing, the Empress Dowager Cixi who played more scenes, would definitely be crowned, but the final answer to the Academy Awards was often unexpected, and the third Best Actress was won by Ye Tong, who was the best newcomer last year.
Such an unexpected answer led to a dissatisfied boo from the mainland delegation (China Film Co-production Company) of the crew of "Listening to Politics", and Ye Tong, who was awarded the film title for "Seven Days of Wrong Love", saw that the atmosphere was so embarrassing, and hurriedly finished his acceptance speech and hurriedly stepped off the stage, and finally the organizer arranged for the performers to appear in advance, which alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere.
"The Academy Awards are so unreasonable, it seems that the best film below has nothing to do with us. Wang Zheng complained to Sammo Hung beside him.
Hong Jinbao was puzzled: ""Scary" is indeed no play, but Ah Zheng, your "Crazy Stone" is the box office champion in 83, there is always a chance." ”
Wang Zheng smiled bitterly: "If the master of ceremonies is not Zhong Jinghui, maybe there will be some hope." ”
"What do you mean?" Hong Jinbao was even more puzzled.
Wang Zheng explained: "The film biweekly is on par with Hollywood, in recent years, the struggle between Hollywood's academic films and commercial films has become more and more obvious, and the Academy Awards are obviously on the side of the academy. ”
Hong Jinbao nodded thoughtfully, and even Wu Ma, who directed the play "People Are Scary", frowned after hearing his words.
At the end of the show performed on stage, the winner of the best picture was announced, and the final box office of the feature film "Half of the Man", which only grossed only 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars, beat "Scary", "Listening to Politics", "Shushan" and "Crazy Stone" to win the best picture.
After the Best Film Award, Fang Yuping, who directed "Half of the Man", defeated Wang Zheng, Wu Ma, Li Hanxiang, and Teddy Robin at the same time and won the Best Director Award.
Such a result made many crews and filmmakers dissatisfied, but the film biweekly never explained the award results to the public, so that everyone could only complain, and they couldn't shake the final result in the slightest.
"Zheng, it doesn't matter if you don't win the best director, come back next time, this time the Academy Awards don't recognize you as the best director, but in my heart you will always be my best director!"
Just now, it was Wang Zheng who was comforting Hong Jinbao, and now it has become Guan Zhilin comforting him.
Wang Zheng grabbed Guan Zhilin's little hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I have a certain amount of mental preparation, don't worry about me, there is nothing to be disappointed, the champion of the annual box office can make me beautiful for a year, it really doesn't matter if I can win the award or not." ”
"It's good that you can think like this!" Guan Zhilin smiled and nodded sweetly.
Wang Zheng's words can only coax Guan Zhilin, saying that it is false not to be disappointed, who can resist the temptation of defending the best director, and the best film award he has been looking forward to has not been won so far.
Following the announcement of the best picture and the best director, the remaining awards still do not have the share of "Crazy Stone", among the best movie songs, the theme song "Love You for 10,000 Years" was defeated by the classic song "If the Wine Sells Nothing", Wang Zheng was also convinced, but his very proud editing technique was defeated by "Half of the Man", and the penetrating editing technique in the later "Crazy Stone" did not know how much reputation he received, and was defeated by the drama movies of the 80s, which made him very unwilling.
In the end, "Crazy Stone" was nominated for six awards, and in the end, only Best Screenplay and Best Newcomer won the award, and "Half of the Man" became the biggest winner of the 3rd Academy Awards, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing and other awards.
"Go to his academic school, if you can't make money from filming, then let the producer go to attract investment. ”
Before the end, Hong Jinbao complained very dissatisfied, the five nominations of "Scary" did not win a trophy, and he was purely running with him tonight, no wonder he was angry.
Wang Zheng sneered: "If the Academy Awards want to become bigger, we must play the concept that movies are art, you and I are just victims, and Brother Sanmao doesn't have to be angry." ”
Hong Jin said angrily: "Art is his mother, can it be used as food? I now go to supper to spend money, not pay for art." ”
After speaking, he left the venue ahead of schedule with the crew of "Scary".
Wang Zheng shrugged at Hong Jinbao's back, although he didn't agree with his opinion, he really couldn't make a movie without money.
After the crew of "Scary" left, Wang Zheng also took Zhou Xingchi and others to go out for supper, and the current Academy Awards have no celebration banquet, even the red carpet is a short paragraph, or it is laid to facilitate the visit of reporters, and the crew has to pay for the meal.
Bypassing the crew of "Half of the People" who were surrounded by memories, when the group came to the door of the Regent Hotel, they met Liu Xiaoqing, who was alone, and Wang Zheng took the initiative to greet him: "Miss Liu, why is it alone, what about your crew?"
Seeing that the person who greeted him was Wang Zheng, Liu Xiaoqing reluctantly smiled and said: "The crew of "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" has been disbanded on the spot, I will stay in the hotel for one night tonight, and I will return to the mainland tomorrow." ”
Wang Zheng noticed that Liu Xiaoqing's eyes were a little red and swollen, no need to guess that he knew that he must have cried because he missed the heroine, and a person was in a foreign land, the mood at this time must be very uncomfortable, thinking of this, Wang Zheng invited: "We just happened to go to supper, why don't you go with Miss Liu!"
Seeing that Liu Xiaoqing was a little hesitant, Guan Zhilin also said in standard Chinese: "Miss Liu doesn't need to see outside, I am from Shanghai, how can I not taste the special food of Xiangjiang when I arrive in Xiangjiang!"
Guan Zhilin's words made Liu Xiaoqing feel a sense of kindness, and she nodded and said, "Then bother!"
