18 April 2010.

One of the most important awards in the Greater China film industry, the 29th Hong Kong Film Awards was held at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

As early as last month, the organizers announced the shortlist for this year's Academy Awards.

Among them, "October Siege" became the biggest hit of this year with 18 nominations, and won many heavyweight award nominations such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best New Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, etc.

"Red Cliff: Battle of the World" is close behind with thirteen nominations!

And Li Mu's "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" also won nine nominations, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Styling, Best Original Film Song, Best Visual Effects, and Best New Director.

With the title of the champion of Chinese film history, coupled with the fact that the quality of the film is really good, this mainland film with few Hong Kong actors and no Hong Kong funds has also won several heavyweight awards.

That night, Li Mu took the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" to the Grand Theater of the Cultural Center.

When they came to the outside of the theater, they knew the charm of the three major film awards, but they were not comparable to the previous Feitian Awards.

There are stars walking by from time to time on the long red carpet, but all actors who want to mix in the entertainment industry will not let go of this opportunity, whether they are invited or not, they will do everything possible to get a chapter of invitations, just to show their faces on the red carpet!

And those reporters, of course, will not miss this grand ceremony, they have already heard about it.

For a while, it was not lively outside the theater, the catwalk of handsome men and beautiful women, the shouts of fans, and the photographers taking pictures frantically, as if the film did not need money.

And from time to time, some "accidents" happen, isn't this just an actress Li Mu didn't know accidentally twisted her foot, and her shoes fell off, so she could only bend down to pick up her shoes.

However, she happened to be wearing a dress with a V-neckline, and the hem was surprisingly short, which could cover the big legs, and the roots.

As she bent over, her hips and curves were exposed, a faint touch of white could be seen, and the reporters and fans in front of her cheered even louder, because they saw the amazing majesty, the tightly wrapped, wrapped half, the ball jumped out more as she leaned over, murdering many films.

The action of picking up the shoes lasted for nearly half a minute, and then I put them back on, and continued to walk forward gracefully, unaware of what had just happened!

"Tut! It turns out that the Academy Awards are like this, I've seen it!" As a "newcomer" who has just entered the industry for two years, Li Mu was still a little surprised by the scene in front of him.

Then Li Mu also took them in, but it was not expected, and the cheers on the scene when they came on the field were not as good as the previous local stars in Xiangjiang.

Although "The Return of the Great Sage" won the mainland box office of 1.1 billion and became the box office champion of Chinese films, it was given a cold reception in this oriental metropolis, and the box office did not even exceed 10 million after a month of screening, not to mention "Avatar" in the same period, even the box office of "Agent Next Door" and "Jinyiwei" were much higher than "The Return of the Great Sage".

This has to make Li Mu sigh a little that the former Oriental Hollywood has completely declined.

Now the only blockbusters that can sell in the city are some movies starring local stars, and it is even more difficult for mainland films to get high box office here, whether it is regional or cultural surprise, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and other top directors are without exception.

"Three Guns Shooting Surprise", which made a lot of money in the mainland last year, did not even get a box office of 1 million in Xiangjiang.

In 05 years, "The City Full of Golden Armor" won 18 million box office because of the joining of Fa Ge.

And the box office of "Ambush on All Sides", which was joined by Liu Tianwang, was only 13 million.

As for Feng Xiaogang, it is even worse, the audience of his movies is in the north, and the box office contributed by southern cities is not high, let alone Xiangjiang.

And Li Mu's "The Return of the Great Sage" only has Lin Zichong, a Xiangjiang actor, and it is already very good to have a box office of several million.

Although the atmosphere of the fans at the scene was not high, those reporters still listened enthusiastically, and squeezed in from time to time to put the microphone in this way.

Since there were no fans to disturb, Li Mu's red carpet show went surprisingly smoothly, and it didn't take a few minutes to come to an end.

Under the guidance of the staff, they came to their crew's seat.

Coincidentally, their left and right are respectively the crew of "October Siege" and "Jinyiwei".

Now I'm going to run into him no matter what, and I have a headache when I think of Donnie Yen jumping up and down in the media recently.

And even if Li Mu ignored him, he became happier and happier, and basically fired at Li Mu as soon as he was interviewed.

It's just that Li Mu has been very busy lately, and he doesn't have time to scold him. I don't want to pay attention to him, the key thing is that Li Mu knows that this "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is the same as the original version, but the heroine is changed from Chen Qiaoen to Fan Bingbing, which doesn't matter.

What's more, the theme of Journey to the West has been stirred up by Li Mu this time, and the domestic film market has also been activated by him, I am afraid that the box office will not be much lower than the original by then, and it is estimated that it will be another billion-level movie.

And "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has been filmed for so long, it must have been released before "Zhao Zilong", and it will inevitably be taken out and said by the time, so Li Mu is still low-key now, let you pretend to be forced first!

In the crew of "October Siege", Li Mu also saw Nicholas Tse and said hello to him from a few people.

Nicholas Tse, who was chatting with Liang Jiahui, also saw Li Mu and the others, so he changed places with others and made it next to Li Mu.

"How is Ah Feng, do you have any confidence, you were also shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor this time?" asked Li Mu.

Nicholas Tse said with a smile, "It's a little difficult this time, Zhang Zhen and Feng Qufan are okay to say, Liang Jiahui and Fang Zhongxin are much more competitive than me!"

There are a total of five nominations for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Academy Awards, namely Liang Jiahui and Nicholas Tse in "October Siege", Zhang Zhen in "Red Cliff", Feng Quan Fan in "Accident" and Fang Zhongxin in "Eavesdropping".

Feng Qufan was ruled out first, although he is old and it makes sense to give a consolation prize, but this "Accident" is Thai from the hero and heroine to the director, and he has lost his competitiveness by nature.

Although Zhang Zhen starred in "Crying Spirit Street Youth Killing, Human Incident" at the age of fifteen and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, he really has no acting skills to say in "Red Cliff", although there are many scenes, but he is not brilliant at all.
