406 [The 13th Golden Horse Awards]
Paid Chapter (12 points)
In October, the Gang of Four on the mainland had stepped down, the 10-year Cultural Revolution was declared over, and Beijing's 1.5 million soldiers and civilians marched in celebration.
On the Hong Kong side, after careful operation, some leftist media began to shift from reporting on Taizu to criticizing the Gang of Four, and put all the blame on those people. Newspapers other than the leftists reported a variety of reports, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they speculated about the future direction of the mainland.
The vast number of Hong Kong people regard it more as a talking point, and what they do not know is how much impact what is happening on the mainland now and in the next few years will have on them.
Before the 50s, Hong Kong's economic development was supported by port trade; In the 50s, the outbreak of the Korean War, the embargo of Britain and the United States and other countries on the mainland, Hong Kong's trade volume fell sharply, a large number of companies closed down, and the business population rose sharply, and Hong Kong people had to shift their money from trade to manufacturing.
Hong Kong's economic transformation has been successful, but after decades of development, the cost of labor and land in Hong Kong has risen to a critical point, with businessmen finding it increasingly difficult to do business and ordinary citizens complaining about the continuous rise in prices. Probably starting tomorrow or the year after next, Hong Kong people will usher in an extremely difficult period.
It was not until a few years later that the opening up of the mainland brought another opportunity to Hong Kong people. A large number of factories moved to the mainland, and Hong Kong's economy once again underwent a transformation, from a manufacturing industry to a financial sector, and eventually became an important financial center in Asia.
Taiwan, on the other hand, has little feeling about the ouster of the Gang of Four. Originally, the people of Taiwan Province were afraid that the mainland would attack, and when Mao Taizu died, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Even most officials believe that once Mao Taizu leaves, the mainland will not be worried, and even if Taiwan is not capable of counterattacking the mainland, it is impossible for the other side of the strait to come over and reunify Taiwan by force.
Only Chiang Ching-kuo's head is still sober, and when Deng Gong comes out to fully preside over the work next year, Xiao Jiang said to Taiwan's officials in person: "Don't be careless, I know that person very well, he is more powerful than Mao Xdong." ”
In any case, public opinion in Taiwan at this time is very relaxed, compared with the previous few years when businessmen have emigrated and students always want to go abroad, at least the people's hearts are much calmer now.
This year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony opened in this relaxed atmosphere.
Audrey. The Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee has not disclosed the news that Hepburn will be a guest, only saying that the mysterious guest will be invited to present the award, which is ready to surprise the public.
The award ceremony was still held in Zhongshan Hall, and China Television acquired its filming and broadcasting rights.
There are no people in Hong Kong this year, mainly because few films have been shortlisted. This year's Hong Kong films are almost all pure commercial entertainment films, and in terms of quality, they are much worse than the previous two years. In Wang Zijun's view, only one "Jumping Ash" (Jumping Ash is a black dialect in the rivers and lakes, the meaning of retail gambling) is a bit interesting, but it only got a minor nomination.
After the emergence of Wang Zijun, a lot of effective suggestions were put forward, and the Golden Horse Award developed and matured faster than the original history.
At this time, the Zhongshan Hall is full of stars, and the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are usually rare, gather together, and the fans outside are also very happy, once their favorite stars appear, they will immediately attract cheers and shouts.
Zhao Yazhi filmed "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" in Hong Kong, and only the last bit of scene was left, and she also ran back to attend the award ceremony, because she was the heroine in "Eight Hundred Heroes".
"Zhen Zhen Zhen Zhen"
The fans on the periphery suddenly shouted, but it turned out to be Zhen Zhen, the former chief actress in Taiwan, who got out of the car. Since marrying Xie Xian, Zhen Zhen has been out of film for two years, and now she suddenly appeared, which immediately made her former fans happy.
Zhen Zhen smiled and waved at the fans with some reluctance, and then hurried in. She hasn't filmed for two years, and today she was invited to be the guest of honor.
Looking at other glamorous stars, Zhen Zhen was also gloomy. When she married Xie Xian two years ago, although her relatives, friends, fans and Taiwanese media were opposed, they felt that Xie Xian was attentive and old, and the two were not suitable to be together. But Zhen Zhen insisted on getting married, and she was very happy for a while after getting married, and the public gradually accepted her husband.
But now, everything is far away from her. She left the film industry when she was the most popular and was at ease to be a housewife, but the relationship between her and her husband was getting worse and worse, and they were about to break up, and they had a fight in Hong Kong last night. …,
Zhen Zhen disappeared in a gloomy manner, but Liu Jiachang was interviewed by reporters with a spring breeze on his face. Wang Zijun's big production department is selling well, and some large companies are also trying to follow the trend to make big productions, but Liu Jiachang is running his own small film workshop without moving, making a lot of money by making low-cost romance films, not only the box office is good, but the original songs of the movie are also selling steadily.
The most important thing is that Xie Xian picked wildflowers everywhere and threw his wife at home, so that Liu Jiachang had a chance, and he was only one step away from being hugged and returned.
Over there, Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Gu Minglun and other handsome guys appeared on the stage, which also attracted a burst of madness among female fans.
A Bentley car was coming, and Wang Zijun had just stepped on the ground, and the flashing lights in front of him were already lit up. The terrifying cries of the fans attracted the attention of the reporters who interviewed other stars in front of them, and even the stars who were interviewed turned their heads to look at them.
After Wang Zijun got out of the car, a lower hand with a tulle glove stretched out in the car, Wang Zijun turned around and held the hand, and a tall woman wearing a bowler hat got out of the car.
The woman's hat was draped with a veil down, and most of her face was covered, which made people guess who this woman was, and actually asked Wang Zijun to pick her up in person.
Wang Zijun with Audrey. Hepburn walked over, and the people who came up to interview were all blocked by the entourage.
This kind of showy thing is still left to those newcomers.
Chow Yun-fat, Hu Yinmeng, Mi Xue, Zhong Zhentao, Chen Kunhou and other main creators of "God of Gamblers" got off the following cars, and it didn't take long for them to attract a siege from reporters.
No way, "God of Gamblers" is too popular during this time.
It was the first time for Chow Yun-fat and the others to see this kind of formation, and they were inevitably a little nervous, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
Wang Zijun put Audrey. After Hepburn was sent in, he stayed in the makeshift dressing room and sat for a while, waiting until the staff reminded him of the red carpet show, and then walked out slowly.
"How does it feel?" Wang Zijun walked on the red carpet, and when he stopped to let the reporter take pictures, he asked Hu Yinmeng beside him.
Hu Yinmeng said: "It's not very good, it feels like being exhibited. ”
"Huh." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "When you say this, you won't be jealous of those little stars who can't walk the red carpet." ”
Hu Yinmeng said: "The main reason is that I feel a little unnatural. ”
"I'm getting used to it." Wang Zijun said, looking up and smiling and waving to the fans in the distance, which immediately aroused the echo of the fans.
Entering the hall and sitting down, it didn't take long for Chow Yun-fat and others to come in.
Before the ceremony began, Chow Yun-fat sat there a little restless, he had a nomination for Best Actor this time, and as a newcomer, he would inevitably suffer from gains and losses.
Soon after, the Director of the Information Bureau, Mr Ting Mao-shi, also arrived at the beginning of the ceremony.
The two hosts on the stage immediately announced the start of the ceremony, and compared with the relaxed hosting style of the later Hong Kong Film Awards, the Golden Horse Awards were still bureaucratic at this time.
The two hosts this time, the female is the host sent by China Television, and the male is actually a reporter from the "China Times". However, this is not unusual, the Golden Horse Awards and the "China Times" have a deep relationship, the host of the first Golden Horse Awards is the director of the "China Times", but at that time the "China Times" was not called "China Times".
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Ding Maoshi, Director of the Information Bureau of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China, to speak on the platform."
The hostess invited Ding Maoshi up with a smiling face, and Ding Maoshi put on a kind look, cleared her throat and said, "First of all, I congratulate our 13th Golden Horse Awards on the successful opening of the ceremony...... Cinema as an art, it is young. At the same time, it integrates music, literature and many other ancient arts, becoming a new carrier of cultural entertainment, and its influence in today's society is increasing...... Chinese films have developed rapidly in recent years, not only spreading to Southeast Asia, but even successfully entering the markets of Europe, America and Japan, and spreading Chinese culture to the world...... Here, I would like to express my gratitude to all Chinese filmmakers for your contribution to the spread of Chinese culture...... With the expansion of the influence of Chinese films, the Golden Horse Award, the only film award for our Chinese films, has also gone to the world with Chinese films...... Today, we are honored to have an important guest to attend the award ceremony, please ......"
Ding Maoshi paused, swept below, and the filmmakers, officials, reporters, and a few fans below all looked at him seriously, but they thought about who this guest was. Because of Ding Mao's tone, this mysterious guest seems to have a lot of background.
"Please, Audrey. Ms. Hepburn," Ding Mao applauded directly after speaking.
It's quiet down there, and everyone's heads are a little dizzy, Audrey. Hepburn is a guest, are you kidding? Not a lot of words
The older generation is very interested in Audrey. Hepburn is naturally very familiar, but young people also like Audrey because of Wang Zijun's "Ghost Love". Hepburn, whose popularity has always been extremely strong.
Until Audrey. Hepburn stood up and walked halfway to the stage when the applause below suddenly rang out.
Audrey. Hepburn stood in front of the microphone and lifted the veil in front of his hat, and an exclamation suddenly sounded below: "What Audrey. Hepburn"
"Hello everyone, I'm Audrey. Hepburn, I am very happy to be invited to be the guest of honor at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony tonight......"
Audrey. As soon as Hepburn spoke, he directly stopped the audience, including Ding Maoshi and other officials.
She, she can actually speak Chinese, and she speaks fluently......
