The Hong Kong Film Awards is a film award established by Film Fortnight Magazine, which was established in 1982 with the aim of recognising outstanding filmmakers and reviewing the achievements of films in the past year, with a view to promoting the quality of Hong Kong films, improving the production level of filmmakers and the audience's appreciation.

Today's Xiangjiang films have developed to a certain scale and occupy a place in Asia and even the world, but there is no film festival of its own, and there is not even an official organization of the filmmakers themselves, and the major film companies are bent on how to make movies to make money, until November 1981, at an editorial meeting of "Film Fortnightly", after the editor-in-chief Chen Baisheng proposed to plan. On March 9, 1982, the first Xiangjiang Film Awards ceremony was held at the Shouson Theater of the Heung Kong Arts Center. After the success of the first session, the second session set up a total of 12 awards, although the newly established Academy Awards has no authority at all, but the second Academy Awards held on July 30 will be fully broadcast by TVB, and the audience rate will increase linearly.

On the set of the Clear Water Bay Villa District, although Fang Yihua's words shocked the staff, they were only shocked by the number of nominations, only Wang Zheng knew the weight of the Academy Awards, in later generations, the Golden Image Awards in Xiangjiang, the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao, and the Golden Rooster Awards in the mainland are known as the three major awards for Chinese films, and in this world, the Academy Awards are only held by "Film Biweekly" alone, far less authoritative than later generations. The Xiangjiang Film Awards Association will not be established until December this year, and others such as the Directors Guild and the Screenwriters Guild have not yet come out.

Wang Zheng took over this issue of "Film Fortnightly" from Fang Yihua, and couldn't wait to look at it, and when he heard that there was a nomination for "Best Actress", Guan Zhilin curiously came to Wang Zheng's side to see if his name would appear on it. A group of staff members also came around, many of them are members of the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and they have spent a lot of energy on this film, and if the movie can win an award, it will also be an affirmation for them.

Wang Zheng opened the magazine, and a line of large bold fonts attracted everyone's attention.

The second edition of the Awards was held on 31 July 1983 at 8 p.m. at the Tertiary Hall of Kowloon Baptist College.

At the bottom of the magazine is a brief introduction of Kowloon Baptist College: Founded in 1956, the College Hall is located on the campus of Hong Kong Baptist University, and since its opening in May 1978, it has hosted many Chinese and Western classical music and pop concerts, stage plays, special TV programs, various conferences and film premieres. The wide staircase leading from the main entrance to the entrance of the lobby is a unique mark of the hall.

"I didn't expect Jiahui that you could still be nominated for the actress!"

After reading the entire list, Wang Zheng began to ridicule Guan Zhilin, who was next to him, if he let the editorial team of "Film Fortnightly" know Guan Zhilin's performance on the set of Ghost Blowing Lantern, he would definitely regret that she was included in the list of nominees for Best Actress.

"What? If you are only selected for Best Director, I will not be selected for Best Actress? Guan Zhilin was a little angry, and his hands were already on Wang Zheng's waist, ready to give him a slap of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

"Yes, of course."

Wang Zheng hurriedly raised his hands in agreement, and Zhang Guorong on the side noticed the small gesture between the two, and congratulated them with a smile: "Congratulations to the two, Best Director and Best Actress are both nominated!" ”

Guan Zhilin took his hand away from Wang Zheng's waist a little shyly, and Wang Zheng smiled faintly: "It's just a nomination, Brother Rong, you haven't been nominated for Best Actor yet!" ”

Zhang Guorong was very unaccustomed to Wang Zheng's title, and said with a smile: "Ah Zheng outside the play, you call me Brother Rong, but in the play, I want to call you big brother, let's call me Ah Rong in the future, listen kind!" ”

Wang Zheng naturally would not refuse Leslie Cheung's proposal, Zhou Xingchi happily greeted Wang Zheng after reading the weekly nomination, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "Ah Zheng, I and Feige, Wei Zai, and Andy have all been nominated for the best newcomer!" ”

"The ghost blows the lamp and shoots so hard, this nomination is deserved by a few of you." Wang Zheng said to him with a smile.

Although all the nominations have nothing to do with Zeng Zhiwei, it does not affect his happiness with everyone on the set, looking at the people who are immersed in excitement, he said loudly: "Take advantage of everyone's happiness at this moment, call it a day early, colleagues who are not in a hurry to go back can go to supper with me, I have a treat!" ”

The staff cheered when they heard this, and praised the wisdom and martial arts of Director Zeng. Producer Fang Yihua looked at everyone with a smile and did not stop Zeng Zhiwei's proposal.

Wang Zheng didn't follow: "Viagra, how can I let you have a treat." After speaking, he turned his head and greeted the staff: "I'll treat you to supper, you can order whatever you want, abalone and shark fin are all available!" ”

As soon as Wang Zheng's words came out, the scene immediately became a sea of cheers, although abalone shark fin is very expensive, but it can't stop him from thanking the staff behind the scenes, it is because of their dedication that there are 7 nominations for the Academy Awards.
