"Okay, okay, everybody, applaud!" Zeng Zhiwei slapped his face and shouted, others may suspect that he is here to help Wang Zijun promote the new song, but he himself understands very well, Wang Zijun This is real kung fu.

Maybe Wang Zijun is not an improvisational person, that is also a stock in his stomach, and if he writes this kind of good song with other singers, he can't wait to take it out and sell it, how can he hide it and wait for someone to test?

The applause in the award hall was thunderous, not to mention that this is indeed a good song, even if Wang Zijun sings "Two Tigers", they will also slap it. As a symbol of Chinese films, Wang Zijun's influence around the world has brought a lot of practical benefits to filmmakers like them, at least now it is much easier for Chinese films to be sold.

Zeng Zhiwei returned to the stage and praised Wang Zijun again, and Zhang Xiaoyan echoed with a smile on the side. It was not Zeng Zhiwei who came up with a problem for Wang Zijun alone, before the two took the stage to host, they had already made good remarks, and Zhang Xiaoyan came up with this idea first.

After praising Wang Zijun, Zhang Xiaoyan said: "Before awarding the award, I must first tell you a good news. The Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is about to usher in reform, and from next year, the selected works for the Golden Horse Awards will not be limited to Chinese-language films, as long as they are produced in Asian and Pacific countries, they are eligible to be selected. Here, on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Golden Horse Awards, I sincerely invite filmmakers from all countries in Asia and the Pacific to bring their masterpieces to participate in next year's Golden Horse Film Festival......"

A few influential filmmakers like Wang Zijun naturally knew the news for a long time, but other directors, actors, reporters and producers heard it for the first time, and the award hall was suddenly buzzing.

This is not a good thing for ordinary directors and actors, whose works will have to compete with the entire Asia-Pacific region if they want to win awards in the future, and the chances of winning the trophy are much smaller.

It's not just trophies and accolades, it's box office revenue. Take Hong Kong movies, for example. If a Hong Kong literary film is not nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, it will rarely sell for a price in Taiwan, but once it is nominated or even awarded, there will definitely be countless Taiwanese filmmakers rushing to buy the film and go back to show it.

Just when everyone reacted to the news, the first trophy of this year's Golden Horse Awards was produced.

The award for Best Animated Film was won by Dream World Animation Company's "Joyful Bull Spirit", and producer Li Feimeng pulled Gu Long to the stage to accept the award.

Yes, Gu Long is the screenwriter of this cartoon!

After the first dozens of episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" were created by Wang Zijun, in the following ten years, several groups of creators have been replaced, and thousands of episodes have been produced before and after, which is known as "the longest-lived cartoon". Someone even quipped: "My son was only eight years old when he watched "Xi Yangyang", and now my grandson is about to be born, and Xi Yangyang is still studying in Yang Village." ”

is different from the applause when it first came out, some people are unhappy because "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is smelly and long, and some people think that the content of this cartoon is getting rougher and rougher, anyway, every time "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comes out with a new episode, it will be sprayed wildly.

But while being sprayed wildly, it is the champion of the cartoon ratings in Hong Kong and Taiwan for a long time, and even "Saint Seiya" and "Transformers" have not been able to beat it. Not only that, but in Southeast Asia and South Korea, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is also the favorite of many children, and even has some influence in the book.

This situation makes anime fans who like "Saint Seiya" and "Transformers" feel unreasonable, thinking that it is impossible for such a naïve cartoon to achieve this kind of results, if it is not for the falsification of TV station data, or the audience who watches "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is mentally retarded!

In addition to the animated series, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has been making Chinese New Year films since four years ago. Because the family accompanies their children into the theater, and in many cases, even the whole family watches it together for several generations, so the box office of each film can be tens of millions of Taiwan dollars. The award-winning "Joyful Bull" and the previous "Joyful Jade Rat in the Wind" have grossed more than NT$40 million for two consecutive years, killing many masterpieces from various companies in the same schedule.

Li Feimeng came to the stage to accept the award, but it was good to say that Gu Long, a martial arts master, was also pulled up, and he also received the cartoon trophy, which immediately caused a laugh from the people below, and diluted the strange atmosphere brought about by Zhang Xiaoyan's announcement of the reform of the Golden Horse Awards just now.

Li Feimeng said: "Why should I pull Gu Long up today? This is because due to his joining in the creation, this "Bull Spirit" has greatly improved both the story surname and the interesting surname. Moreover, Yew Wah also incorporated martial arts elements into it, and discussed the philosophy of surnames, thus winning the Animation Feature Award at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France, which is the only honor for Chinese cartoons! ”

It was just over two months before "Joyful Bull" won the award in France, and it was also reported in Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time. However, if Li Feimeng hadn't said it, at least half of the people present today had not heard of it.

Even if Feimeng Li says it now, most of the people here don't know what kind of honor this is—who cares about cartoons?

Award presenter Qiu Chengguo suddenly interjected and said: ""Joyful Yangyang" won the Animated Feature Film Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, which is equivalent to the works of directors winning the Oscar for Best Picture in Hollywood. ”

This explanation is clear.

The filmmakers were stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and there was a round of applause.

Gu Long still has the appearance of being unkempt, and even when he attends the award ceremony, he is dressed like a laborer. He took the microphone unhurriedly and said with a smile: "I'm not as good as Brother Niu (Li Feimeng's nickname), everyone knows that this cartoon was created by Xiao Wang, and the people behind us are just dog-tailed mink." As for the reason why he won the award this time, it is also the credit of Brother Niu. Isn't the name of the movie "Joyful Cow Angry", this cow is based on Brother Niu, and many plots are also adapted from Brother Niu's experience, so what I do is a porter. By the way, one last word," Gu Long pointed in the direction of Wang Zijun and said, "Xiao Wang, you are not allowed to slip away at the awards dinner later, don't have a drink with me, be careful that I chase you to your house!" When the time comes, it will delay your time, and a few younger siblings will be unhappy. ”

"Hahaha......" Some people in the audience laughed, and some people covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing. Everyone knows that Gu Long is a drunkard, but he didn't expect to invite wine in his speech at the award ceremony, and he also pulled several wives in Wang Zijun's family without words.

Wang Zijun has a lot of beautiful girls in his family, and it is a well-known thing that he enjoys all the beautiful blessings, but this is a moral taboo after all, and no one dares to joke about this in public.

Regarding the fact that Gu Long did not speak through his brain, Wang Zijun could only smile bitterly.

Next came various documentary and technical awards, and the nomination for Best Original Music for "Three Women of the East" failed to materialize, but the best costume design was won by Hong Xiaoqiao.

In addition, it is worth Wang Zijun's attention that the best art design was taken by Wang Tong's "Riding a Horse into the Forest". Wang Tong is not only the director of this movie, but also the artist of the film, the plot of the film is average, but the scene picture is very good.

What caught Wang Zijun's attention was not the film "Riding a Horse into the Forest", but Wang Tong. In the parallel space, if Wang Zijun is allowed to rank a Taiwanese director, then Wang Tong will definitely be in the top five, and the "Scarecrow" that will be filmed next year is a wonderful work. It's a pity that this excellent director is not in Wang's Pictures, but the treasure of China Film Company, and he can't dig up the wall.

The newly established Best Film Special Effects Award at this year's Golden Horse Awards, Wang's Films' "ET", China Film Company's "Robot Student", and First Pictures' "Future Pioneer" are fiercely competitive.

The latter two are both works born due to the box office stimulation of Wang Zijun's "ET", and both films were launched under the banner of sci-fi blockbusters, and made a lot of money for China Film Company and First Pictures with the sci-fi boom set off by "ET".

But in Wang Zijun's view, these two works are nondescript, which can be called the wonder of science fiction movies.

The screenwriter of "Robot Life" is Zhang Yongxiang, continuing his consistent realistic literary style, which is a love ethics film wrapped in sci-fi skin; And what about First Pictures' "Future Pioneer"? It's just about making the action actors ship with futuristic costumes, and then adding movie special effects. If the future element is removed, this Nima is just a kung fu movie.

But the box office is high enough to shut up Wang Zijun, the box office of "Robot Student" in Taiwan is 100 million Taiwan dollars, and the Taiwan box office of "Future Pioneer" is 100 million Taiwan dollars.

This is the same as when Chinese mainland was just emerging as a blockbuster craze, no matter what the quality of the blockbuster is, as long as it is under the banner of blockbusters, you can make a lot of money. It seems that the audience is not going to the movie content, but to the theater in the name of blockbuster.

The frenzied box office of the two "sci-fi" blockbusters has made some directors who want to make blockbusters finally make up their minds that at least five blockbusters with an investment of more than NT$50 million will be unveiled in this year's Chinese New Year.

In the current golden age of Taiwan's economic integrity, there is nothing else, and there is nowhere to invest a lot of money in Taiwanese businessmen.

"The winners of this year's best movie special effects are, "ET" Garcia Giles, Rocky Sek, Mandy Tate, Sun Kai!"

Three foreigners and a Chinese came to the stage to accept the award, that Sun Kainai is the leader of the special effects team of "ET", to put it bluntly, he is the team leader who gave three foreigners a hand.

And the two sci-fi films of China Film Company and First Pictures, the special effects personnel hired happen to be Sun Kai and his subordinates. They have stayed in Industrial Light and Magic, and Sun Kai himself has even participated in the special effects production of "Titanic" and "Star Wars 3", and he is considered to be the best batch of special effects artists in Taiwan.

"Thank you, Wang, the process of making ET is a very pleasant memory, I feel like I was having my own child......" García Giles spoke on behalf of the winners, who was amused to stand on the Asian podium.

And the officials of the Golden Horse Awards are also very happy, in their opinion, the more foreigners appear at the Golden Horse Awards, the more they indicate the internationalization of the Golden Horse Awards, which proves that its influence will be greater.

"ET" has just begun, and the best original music, best cinematography, best editing, best original screenplay, best director, and best feature film have all been won by "ET".

No one questioned the organizing committee's work in the dark, because the excellence of "ET" was there. What's more, Wang Zijun's "Titanic" is even crazier than this, an unattainable Oscar for Asian filmmakers, Wang Zijun won 12 little golden figures with "Titanic", what are these seven Golden Horse trophies?

The most dramatic highlight of this year's Golden Horse Awards is not that "ET" won seven Golden Horse trophies, but in the competition for the Best New Actor Award and Best Actor.

Because Huang Qiusheng, Li Zhi, Yang Ziqiong, and Iraqi Laudia, who were nominated for Best New Actors, are all from "Three Heroines of the East"; And Chow Yun-fat and Wan Ziliang, who were nominated for Best Actor, are also from the same movie "Waiting for Dawn".

It's all the rhythm of your own people beating your own people......

Needless to say, the Best Actor was won by Chow Yun-fat, but the winner of the Best Newcomer Actor Award surprised everyone, and the three popular actresses of Li Zhi all had no share, but Huang Qiusheng, who played the little villain, was on the podium.

Just when all the trophies were famous and everyone thought that the award ceremony was over, Zhang Xiaoyan and Zeng Zhiwei returned to the stage and said: "Now present two special awards!" ”

Zeng Zhiwei opened the envelope and said: "The first one to be awarded is the Outstanding Foreign Actor Award!" Winner – Miss Labella. ”

Zhang Xiaoyan read the award speech affectionately: "Since Miss Laura Fana came to Taiwan in 1975 to make films, it has been exactly ten years. In the past ten years, Laura has starred in a total of 36 TV series, 88 movies, 22 commercials, and served as the MV heroine 5 times...... Miss Laura Fonta is the foreign actor who has made the most films in Taiwan and has been in the industry for the longest time so far. On the occasion of her debut ten years ago, the Organizing Committee of the Golden Horse Awards specially awarded the Outstanding Foreign Actor Award, which was intended to commend and thank Miss Laura for her contribution to Chinese films. ”

"Please—Laura Fontaine!"

Laura Fonta, who was in her twenties in a floor-length dress, walked to the podium amid applause. Compared with ten years ago, it is more plump and moving, and it does not have the appearance of fortune after middle age, which is the most glamorous and attractive time.

Laura Fana took the trophy from Bai Muyang, who served as the vice chairman of the Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee, and before she said her acceptance speech, she first glanced at Wang Zijun below with undisguised resentment.

Wang Zijun brought two actresses from the West, Laura Fonta and Demi Moore. Demi Moore returned to Hollywood three years ago, while Laura Fonata has stayed in Hong Kong and Taiwan to take over the film, and has now become a household name actress in Asia.

Not only that, Laura Fana seems to be preparing to settle down in Taiwan, bringing her mother and younger brother to Taiwan, and her younger brother even entered Wang's Pictures directly.

When she was in Spain, Laura Fonta was a little interested in Wang Zijun, until the filming of "Love in Paradise" later, which once developed to an ambiguous level, but unfortunately Wang Zijun ignored her later.

In the eyes of outsiders, Laura Fonta is a workaholic, making 36 TV series and 88 movies in ten years, although some are just cameos, but they are really crazy and dedicated. In addition, attending events, appearing on variety shows, filming commercials, etc., the time has long been full, not to mention falling in love, and even the time to sleep is insufficient.

Because she was so busy, after Wang Zijun entered Laura Fana's heart, no other man had a chance to squeeze Wang Zijun's position.

"Thank you to the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee, and thank you to Wang's Pictures," Laura Fonta, speaking fluent Chinese, "and of course thank my boss Wang Zijun." This is my second home and I have applied to the authorities for immigration. Fortunately, the application has not been approved yet, otherwise this award would have nothing to do with me. ”

"Hehe......" chuckled below. However, there are more people who appreciate LaLa Fauna, after all, people from Hong Kong and Taiwan are now running to Europe and the United States, and LaLa Fauna, a Spaniard, immigrated to Taiwan, which is quite proud.

After Laura Fana went down, Zhang Xiaoyan continued: "Tonight's second special award is for outstanding filmmaker - Wang Zijun! Mr. Ming Ji, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Golden Horse Awards, was invited to the stage to present awards to the winners. ”

“…… He left his signature and footprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he opened a new era of Chinese films, he is the most familiar Chinese star to fans all over the world, and he created an unbroken movie record with a "Titanic......"

Wang Zijun walked up to the stage, took the trophy in Mingji's hand, and said like Zeng Zhiwei, who read the award speech, "Isn't this thing awarded to the gray-haired old man?" How does the award speech sound like a summary of my life? I said, dude, you're not cursing me to hang up, are you? Thankfully, it wasn't the Lifetime Achievement Award......"

"Hahaha......" The audience burst into laughter.

Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Master Jun, don't wronged me." This award speech was given to me by the organizing committee, and I will read it accordingly, and I want to curse you to be the same as the organizing committee. ”

Wang Zijun raised the trophy, waved his hand to the judges, and said, "Thank you, don't take it as an example!" ”

"Flutter ......" Many people burst out laughing, and when they saw someone receiving the award for the first time, they said no to the judges.

Wang Zijun continued: "There are many outstanding filmmakers in the Chinese film industry, and I am leading them on their behalf, and I hope that more outstanding filmmakers will emerge in the future to make our Chinese films more prosperous, break out of Asia, and go to the world!" ”

In a round of applause, Wang Zijun walked off the podium and passed by Laura Fonna, who stood up and said, "Congratulations, Wang." ”

"Thank you!" Wang Zijun saw her open arms, so he generously gave her a hug, but Laura Fana took the opportunity to kiss him on the cheek.

Before Wang Zijun could speak, Gu Long had already run over, grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the banquet hall: "Let's go, I haven't drunk with you for half a year." ”
