Chapter 152: Awards Gala (Part II)

The 3rd Academy Awards Gala was hosted by Zhong Jinghui as the host of ceremonies.

Zhong Jinghui is not only a famous stage director and actor in Xiangjiang, but also has hosted TV programs in TVB and ATV, and was hired by the Xiangjiang Academy of Performing Arts as the founding dean of the School of Drama in 83.

Because Wang Zheng is the winner of the last Best Director, and "Crazy Stone" has a total of six nominations, the organizers arranged a seat for the crew very close to the stage.

When Wang Zheng took Zhou Xingchi and others to the banquet hall, the seats in the banquet hall were almost full, compared with the previous two sessions, this year's Academy Awards were indeed much more lively, and there were many familiar faces in later Hong Kong dramas.

"Ah Zheng, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect your crew's location next to our crew!"

As soon as he sat down in his position, Wang Zheng heard someone greet him, and following the reputation, it turned out to be Hong Jinbao from the crew of "Scary People" next to him.

"Brother Sanmao, I haven't congratulated you on being shortlisted for this year's Best Actor Award. ”

Wang Zheng greeted with a smile, although "People Are Scary" is a very funny horror film, but it was shortlisted for five nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor, which is on par with "Crazy Stone".

Hong Jinbao held up his huge belly, approached Wang Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Then do you know who this year's Best Actor is?"

Wang Zheng laughed out loud when he heard this, he accidentally said that there would be two actors at the Academy Awards last year, and now it seems that Hong Jinbao has determined that he has inside information.

Wang Zheng laughed and said: "It seems that Brother Bao cares about this award very much, but it's a pity that I disappointed you, I'm not a judge of "Film Fortnightly", how can I predict in advance who will be the actor, I told you, I guessed randomly last year!"

Hong Jinbao obviously didn't believe it, and was about to continue to ask questions when the audience resounded with high-pitched music, and the Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

After the presiding master of ceremonies, Zhong Jinghui, finished his simple opening remarks, and began to present the first award of the evening.

Next, I would like to invite the award presenters Xu Dafei and Weng Meiling to jointly present the Best Newcomer Award to us. ”

Zhong Jinghui's words fell, and Weng Meiling, who was dressed in a white dress, held Da Fei's hand and walked onto the stage with a smile on her face.

Although I didn't know that Da Fei and the two were the guests of honor tonight, Wang Zheng was not much surprised, now Da Fei and Weng Meiling are the targets of media hype, and inviting the two to be guests at the Academy Awards will undoubtedly attract more attention.

Da Fei, who was the guest of honor for the first time, had no experience in awarding awards, and said nervously holding the microphone: "In the past year, there have been many excellent works in Xiangjiang Films, and many new actors have also emerged, adding a lot of fresh blood to Xiangjiang Films. ”

Weng Meiling, who is full of stage experience, smiled at Dafei encouragingly, and then said: "Yes, but among these newcomers, who is the best newcomer? Let me first look at the list of nominees." ”

Da Fei opened the sealed envelope and read: "The nominations for the best newcomer at the 3rd Academy Awards are: Zheng Yuling "Flower City", Xu Suyin "Half of the People", Liang Jiahui "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", Mo Shaocong "Wulin Holy Fire Order", Lan Jieying "Crazy Stone". ”

While reading it, the screen in the middle of the stage also played the wonderful performances of the five newcomers in the play, among which the two beauties of Zheng Yuling and Lan Jieying were the most eye-catching, and Lan Jieying's beautiful performance in "Crazy Stone" now has the reputation of the beautiful Wutai Mountain.

The winner of the third Best Newcomer is Lan Jieying's "Crazy Stone". ”

Weng Meiling was very happy when she announced the final results, perhaps it was the relationship between Da Fei and the starring role in this drama that made her feel in love with the house and Wu.

Lan Jieying took the initiative to hug Wang Zheng when she took the stage to accept the award, and her voice was already choked: "Thank you director, it is your guidance that I can get this award." ”

Wang Zheng patted her on the back and said softly: "It's all the result of your own efforts, and you will have to hone your acting skills more in the future, don't be complacent." ”

In the warm applause, Lan Jieying, who was a little excited, came to the stage to finish her acceptance speech, and the second award was awarded.

Perhaps the Academy Awards summarized the experience of the previous two awards, followed by the Best Cinematography Award, and highlights such as Best Actor will be announced later in the evening.

In the end, the Best Cinematography Award was won by the crew of "Flower City", the best art direction was won by the crew of "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", and the best soundtrack was won by the co-production "The Wrong Car" between Hong Kong and Baodao.

After three awards of little weight were awarded in a row, the party ushered in the first guest performer, Mei Yanfang, the winner of the first rookie singing contest in Xiangjiang, appeared on the stage and sang the title song "Red Temptation" in her second album "Red Mei Yanfang", her unique voice and her bewitching figure are indeed full of infinite temptation.

Mei Yanfang, who is only 21 years old, debuted less than two years ago, and is now a rising star in the Xiangjiang music scene.

At the end of the song, the award ceremony continued, and the award for the best screenplay was presented below.

As the master of ceremonies fell, a spotlight hit the center of the stage, and Zhou Runfa, who was handsome in a black suit, and Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a floor-length skirt, appeared in the middle of the stage.

Seeing Guan Zhilin winking playfully at his side, Wang Zheng knew that he had been deceived by her, and invited Guan Zhilin to attend tonight's awards party before leaving today, when she refused in the name of accompanying her mother, she thought that she didn't want to attend because she was not nominated, but she turned out to be the guest of honor at the Academy Awards.

As soon as the applause of the welcome guests fell, Zhou Yanfa spoke into the microphone first: "Since the opening of the Academy Awards, I have thought about when I will appear on this stage, but what I never expected is that the first time I appeared on the stage of the Academy Awards was as an award presenter. ”

Zhou Yanfa's words are a little self-deprecating, he made several movies during the three Academy Awards, but none of them were nominated, and he still bears the title of box office poison, but he believes that the release of "The True Color of Heroes" tomorrow will definitely wash away this shame for him.

Guan Zhilin followed Zhou Yan's words: "Although this time it is the guest of honor, I believe that Fa Ge will be the recipient of the award next time, you must be very curious why I am so sure." Saying that, he smiled mischievously at the audience: "Because I have watched Fa Ge's wonderful performance in "The True Color of Heroes", if you don't believe it, you can go to the Shaw Brothers Theater tomorrow to see if it's true or not!"

Guan Zhilin's disguised advertisement made a lot of applause from the audience, especially Zhou Xingchi and others, who shouted extremely loudly.

Zhou Yunfa didn't expect Guan Zhilin to come to this play, he was already out of the prepared lines, he smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly got back to the topic: "Everyone knows that a good-looking movie is inseparable from a good-looking story, only if the audience is attracted by the story, they will pay to enter the theater, and the next award is the best screenplay award." ”

Guan Zhilin stopped making trouble, took out the envelope and began to read out the nominations: "The nominations for the Best Screenwriter at the 3rd Academy Awards are: Zhang Jianting "Seven Days of Wrong Love", Sammo Hung and Huang Yaobing "People are Scary", Shi Yangping and Wang Zhengfang "Half of the People", Li Hanxiang "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", Wang Zheng "Crazy Stone". ”

When Wang Zheng was read, Guan Zhilin's voice was obviously much gentler, which made Hong Jinbao muttered to Wang Zheng with some unhappiness: "It seems that the screenwriter award is going to be taken away by your kid." ”

Wang Zheng smiled and asked, "How can you see it?"

Hong Jinbao asked depressedly: "Zhilin must have seen the result, if you hadn't won the award, her voice would have been so soft?"

As soon as Hong Jinbao's voice fell, Zhou Yanfa's revealed answer also reached the ears of the two.

As Sammo Hung said, after "Ghost Blows the Lantern", Wang Zheng won the Best Screenplay Award at the Academy Awards again.
