In 1982, the first Hong Kong Film Awards were very simple.

All Hong Kong films that are shown in the first round of public screening in Hong Kong are eligible for the competition, but they must meet all of the following conditions: (1) they must be released between January 1, 1981 ~ December 31, 1981; (2) must be open to the public and have no less than five screenings in a week; (3) The length of the video must be 60 minutes or more; (4) Projection with 35mm film or digital projection

After meeting the conditions for selection, there are two rounds of elections, one of which is to confirm the nomination. After a more brutal round of voting, the one with the highest score can win the award.

On April 19, Asia Television, Radio Television Hong Kong, "Film Fortnightly" and other media began to officially broadcast and report the news of the "Hong Kong Film Awards".

With Asia Television, after the news preview of the "Hong Kong Film Awards" was made, for a while, hundreds of consultation calls were received from Hong Kong, asking for the details of the Academy Awards.

Obviously, the social influence of Film Fortnight is not enough that many people mistakenly think that ATV is the organizer.

Subsequently, Asia Television began to clarify that it only won the right to broadcast live TV at the "Hong Kong Film Awards", not the organizer.

The Academy Awards were created to screen out the most commercial and artistic Chinese films under the premise of fairness and justice, and to dig out some outstanding directors, screenwriters, actors, and film technicians.

Since ATV is a holding company of Longteng Entertainment, and Longteng Entertainment inevitably has a large number of film talents, in order to avoid suspicion, ATV will not become one of the organizers of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Such a statement undoubtedly makes many viewers more curious about the "Hong Kong Film Awards".

On April 19, the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony began the official live broadcast of the movie.

Dozens of Hong Kong filmmakers such as Xu Anhua, Fang Yuping, Hui Yinghong, Tsui Hark, Zhang Shaojie, Gu Long, etc., came to the award ceremony of the Academy Awards.

Senior radio announcer Wu Jialian and singer Zhan Xiaoping jointly served as emcees.

The two emcees are both employees of Radio Television Hong Kong. It shows that Radio Television Hong Kong, as one of the organizers of the Hong Kong Film Awards, also has a huge influence on this ceremony.

Zhang Shaojie, Gu Long, Tsui Hark, Lin Qingxia and others came to the scene, which immediately attracted the attention of many filmmakers.

Hui Anhua, who has already shown his directorial talent in the film industry and is known as one of the representatives of the "Hong Kong Film New Wave", said with a smile: "I have heard your Mr. Zhang's name for a long time, but I have never been able to see it, but when I saw it today, I also have a nose and eyes, not a three-headed and six-armed alien, at a young age, how did you create so many talents?" ”

Xu Anhua is the director of "The Story of Hu Yue", and "The Story of Hu Yue" was nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay and so on.

Therefore, Xu Anhua handsome screenwriter Zhang Tingjian, starring Chow Yun-fat and others came to the scene.

Chow Yun-fat was still a newcomer in the film industry at this time, and he had acted in many movies before, all of which were below one million box office. A lot of investors, as a result, have suffered heavy losses.

Hui Anhua is a maverick director, and the investment in "The Story of Hu Yue" is only hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and he dares to use an actor like Chow Yun-fat who is half popular in the film industry.

As a result, "The Story of Hu Yue" achieved a box office of 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars. In 1981, under the shadow of the terrifying box office of more than 40 million in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", although this movie was inconspicuous. However, it has been able to rank among the top 15 at the box office, which shows the success of this movie.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Those who are engaged in art should look at their talent, study on the second, diligence on the third, and perseverance on the fourth!" Even if you are a few years old, if you really have some talent, even if you lack knowledge and experience, you can still create some childlike works! You see, my things don't pay attention to the thickness of thoughts, nor do they pay attention to life experience. Whether it is men, women or children, as long as they have mastered some creative modes and done better than me, they will definitely emerge in endlessly! ”

Xu Anhua said: "You are really too modest. You must know that there are countless scripts that Hong Kong imitates you, but many of them become failures that do not become anti-dogs. It can be seen from this that your talent is outstanding, I think, in this award, your best screenwriter should be indispensable! ”

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Even if it is Hollywood's Academy Awards, many sci-fi blockbusters and action movies often have a high reputation and box office, and it is difficult to win some important awards. On the contrary, it is a theme such as humanities and history, and the probability of winning is extremely high. In terms of the script of "The Tang Dynasty" itself, the artistic surname is not high"

At this time, Hui Yinghong came over with a smile, greeted and smiled: "Hi, little handsome guy!" It's a pleasure to meet you in person for the first time. You know, they're your fans, sign me! ”

Embarrassment!

Historically, Hui Yinghong won the Best Actress at the first Academy Awards. is also the first old actor to be awarded the reputation of "Academy Award Actress".

Hui Yinghong is also her fan?

Although it feels incredible, Zhang Shaojie still wrote his name and gift on Hui Yinghong's signature book: "I wish Miss Hui Yinghong a winning the Academy Awards!" ”

Hui Yinghong was stunned and smiled: "Actress? ”

Of course, the actor of the Academy Award is called the actor, and the heroine is called the actress. The Hong Kong Film Awards are naturally the same! Zhang Shaojie explained.

"Then thank you Ji Yan!" Hui Yinghong is obviously also very concerned about the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Subsequently, everyone waited, and the master of ceremonies on the stage announced the list.

"First of all, Best Actor, Zhou" Wu Jialian is serious.

Chow Yun-fat, his face was hot, ready to stand up.

At this time, Wu Jialian showed a weird smile, opened the list, and said: "It's Shi Tian in "Modern Funny Times", although this movie has the flavor of paying tribute to Chaplin, and the creativity is insufficient. However, it is very difficult to replicate the classics of Chaplin's silent era in the audio era. After the scoring of the judges of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Shi Tian was selected as the best actor! ”

Zhang Shaojie sighed in his heart, knowing that he had changed history.

Originally, the best actor should be Xu Guanwen of "Modern Bodyguard". However, who made "Modern Bodyguard" release a year earlier, and as a result, the Best Actor at the first Hong Kong Film Awards was won by Shi Tian.

"Thank you, thank you, I'm very happy to receive this trophy today. This is not only a recognition of our movie "Modern Funny Times", but also the best praise for me" Shi Tian proudly walked to the forefront.

When Shi Tian lifted the trophy, Mai Jia and others from Xinyi City applauded one after another, and other competitors also gave a little face when they saw this and applauded the trend.

After all, the Hong Kong Film Awards are broadcast live in front of hundreds of TV audiences, and many film companies don't want to be too rude.

Next, the Best Actress was exactly the same as in history, and was won by Hui Yinghong. Hui Yinghong participated in "Elders" directed by Liu Jialiang, this movie is very literary, and Hui Yinghong's performance is very good. It is reasonable to be able to win this Best Actress.

The best screenplay was won by Zhang Tingjian in "The Story of Hu Yue".

After Fang Yuping of "Father and Son" won the best director.

When Zhang Shaojie was quite disappointed.

The emcee Zhan Xiaoping suddenly said: "The last and most valuable award, the best movie - "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty 1: Origin"! ”

At the award ceremony, many visually stunning scene clips of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" were played. Tsui Hark, as the director, represented the company and the crew, took the stage to accept the award, and made a speech. The whole scene suddenly burst into applause.

"Zhang Shaojie, you are simply a fortune teller, do you really calculate that I can win the best actress?" After the award ceremony, Hui Yinghong asked Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie said: "There are only a few nominations, just guess randomly, there is always a probability of being right!" ”

"Although your answer is very insincere. However, I'm going to give you a banquet as a fortune teller, I don't know if Zhang Dacai can appreciate his face?" Hui Yinghong said with a smile.

"I don't dare to refuse! Can I bring a friend along, though? Zhang Shaojie said.

"Absolutely!" Hui Yinghong said with a smile, "I also invited Liu Jialiang, Chow Yun-fat, and Xu Anhua!" ”

When Zhang Shaojie saw this, he was relieved, if he only invited himself, he was still worried that Hui Yinghong would fight his own doctrine. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Shaojie still invited Lin Qingxia, Xu Hark and others to the banquet together.

And Gu Long returned to Baolong Company early, after all, as the head of Baolong, Gu Long has a lot of official business to deal with.

After everyone walked out of the awards ceremony hall of the Academy Awards, they drove to the KTV and chartered a suite. I bought a bunch of food and drink, and then everyone ate and drank nonsense, chatted and sang in a non-toned manner.

"Come, congratulations to today's actress!" Zhang Shaojie suddenly smiled and said, "This is the first local film award actress in Hong Kong's history"

"Cut, how many people know about the current Academy Awards, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, and the mainland's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are more influential than the Academy Awards. Our Mr. Chow Yun-fat here, but he is a heavyweight actor who won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award in the mainland! Hui Yinghong said with a smile.

Chow Yun-fat smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me, the movie I made is a hit on the street." How many directors dare to use me? With good luck this time, "The Story of Hu Yue" won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor! However, to get this trophy, it is better to be able to get a high box office."
