Chapter 625 - Winning Awards (Part II)

After seven or eight minutes, Zhou Comin suddenly broke free from Lin Youlun's embrace, and then beat him on the chest.

"It's all your fault, it makes people cry when they put on makeup."

Lin Youlun looked at his watch, and as opposed to Zhou Yimin's project, both of them realized a very serious problem at the same time.

"Oh no, the closing ceremony has begun!"

Zhou Yimin wiped the tears on her cheeks with her hands, and was about to walk towards the venue in a hurry, when Lin Youlun hurriedly reached out from behind and grabbed her hand.

"Don't panic, there must be emergency measures over there, the most important thing you need to do now is to touch up your makeup, and you will definitely be seen on TV like this now."

Zhou Comin nodded, and hurriedly rushed to the backstage dressing room.

——

The on-site director was in a hurry backstage, and there was really no way out, so he had to skip the emcee and announce the curtain and advance the subsequent song and dance performance.

The opening song and dance performance has begun for more than two minutes, and Zhou Comin finally arrived backstage, and the on-site director silently said in his heart, "Grandma, you are finally back", and hurriedly found a makeup artist to come over to touch up Zhou Comin's makeup.

As soon as the singing and dancing performance at the front desk ended, Zhou Comin, who had just finished putting on makeup, walked directly onto the stage without any preparation.

Seeing the live broadcast machine aimed at herself, Zhou Yanmin stabilized her emotions, took a deep breath and picked up the microphone, the opening remarks that were prepared for Lu were no longer needed, only temporary play, fortunately, she presided over this kind of large-scale award ceremony not once or twice, and after a opening remark, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

It was Lin Youlun's side that really showed his feet, and when he opened the song and dance performance, there was a camera in the live TV screen that swept from the audience. Lin Youlun's seat was empty. But wait until the cabaret is over. When the live broadcast machine was aimed at the audience again, Lin Youlun was already sitting in his seat.

Most of the viewers in front of the TV didn't notice this problem, but Lin Qingxia, who was seated next to Lin Youlun, was already aware of the matter. The closing ceremony started on time, but Zhou Comin, who served as the master of ceremonies of the award ceremony, did not appear on the stage for the first time, and then Lin Youlun was "late", the two are linked, and it is easy to draw some conclusions.

"The two of them meet every day and still have so many love words that they can't even forget the time?"

Zhilu Dao Lin Qingxia was just joking. Lin Youlun just smiled awkwardly and didn't explain anything.

Soon, Lin Youlun and Zhou Yimin "reunited" on stage, and after the speech of the chief executive of the Hong Kong City Bureau, Lin Youlun, as the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, was also invited to speak on stage.

Standing on the stage and taking the microphone handed over by Zhou Comin, Lin Youlun glanced at the audience, the venue that can accommodate more than 3,000 people was almost full, and it looked like it was full of people.

"At this moment, I suddenly remembered last year today. At that time, the closing ceremony was not held here, and the venue could only accommodate more than 2,300 people. And there are still hundreds of seats that are not filled. At the time, I joked that it would be nice to have at least not enough seats next year, but I don't realize that this joke is not funny at all, because this time next year, I should be worried about finding a bigger venue for the closing ceremony of the festival. ”

Lin Youlun's words seemed to be self-deprecating, but in fact he was saying that the scale of this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival was a step higher than last year.

Lin Youlun had to stop, pressed his hand down, and waited for the applause from the audience to pause, then continued: "I am honored to witness the continuous growth of the Hong Kong International Film Festival with you, of course, objectively speaking, the scale of the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the quality of the participating films are improving every year, I didn't say such a thing last year, but I said it this year, because in the past year, not only has the Asian film industry made great progress, but it is of special significance to the Hong Kong film industry." ”

"Since the 80s of the 20th century, Hong Kong's economy began to take off miraculously, and it was also from that time that Hong Kong people's self-confidence began to be established, people enjoyed the benefits of economic development, and also had great energy and money to invest in the entertainment industry, for the Hong Kong film industry, it was the best era, but also the worst era, because everything was built on vanity and impetuousness, so around the 90s, we stepped on the air, the stock market crash and the violent fluctuations of the economy came to the face, and the whole city was in a panic, At the same time, we have to face a new political choice in a few years, and we don't know where the future holds. ”

"I remember that the most enthusiastic discussion in the newspapers at that time was how to buy real estate overseas, whether the immigration policy was loosened, and the Hong Kong film industry was inevitably impressed by this impetuous atmosphere.

"Thankfully, after a period of confusion, many Hong Kong people have finally begun to seriously consider the way forward, everyone woke up from the gorgeous bubble, began to recognize, and also had a real goal to work hard, and I prefer to call this a nirvana, Hong Kong people's self-confidence that was built on the sky was pushed to, and now the self-confidence that began to be established is really built on a solid foundation."

"This year, Hong Kong films have gone international with a more stable and confident attitude, and at the same time, we have accepted overseas film works with a more inclusive and equal attitude, and the purpose of the Hong Kong International Film Festival is to better promote the development of this cause, and we will continue to serve this goal in the future. Here, I would like to encourage all of you here for a more brilliant tomorrow for Asian films! ”

The turmoil in the mainland in 89 made Hong Kong people's political expectations after the return to the motherland plummet, and Lin Youlun's remarks are actually a summary of the changes in the social mentality of Hong Kong people in the past two years.

Lin Youlun stepped down at the end of his speech, the main process of the closing ceremony also came to an end, and the most touching Golden Dragon Award ceremony finally kicked off.

The first best supporting actor was awarded by Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu, the two first chatted with each other on stage, Mei Yanfang asked how Zhang Manyu was doing overseas during the time she left Hong Kong, Zhang Manyu said that she lived very easily in France, Mei Yanfang then kept persuading Zhang Manyu to come back early, because one of the reasons why Zhang Manyu left Hong Kong before was that he had already won all the awards he could get here, and as soon as the Golden Dragon Award came out, Zhang Manyu's perfect award record was missing.

If Zhang Manyu wants to win the Golden Dragon Award, of course, she has to come back and film more.

Zhang Manyu didn't agree or refuse, but just brought the topic back to the awards, she opened the envelope, took a look, and handed it to Mei Yanfang to announce the results.

When Mei Yanfang saw the award-winning results, she had such an expression on her face, and then announced loudly that the winner was Huang Qiusen.

Huang Qiusen, who has been in decline for three years, has been on the podium again after more than three years since he starred in "The Silence of the Lambs" and won the Academy Awards.

This time when he came to the stage to accept the award, Huang Qiusen was not as nervous as when he received the Golden Statue Best Actor from Xu Ke for more than three years, but Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu, who were in charge of the awards, looked very nervous.

Although Huang Qiusen's performance in the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption" reversed the image of Dr. Murder he created in "The Silence of the Lambs" to a certain extent, many people mention his name, and the first thing that comes to mind is the movie "The Silence of the Lambs", so when Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu saw Huang Qiusen, their first feeling was a little hairy.

After Huang Qiusen received the award, he originally wanted to hug Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu separately, but seeing that the two girls were a little hesitant and reluctant, he laughed at himself: "Everyone loves others when they become famous in movies, but after I become famous in movies, everyone is afraid, everyone is an actor, and you can't discriminate." ”

Everyone in the audience laughed, Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu were also a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to come over and hug Huang Qiusen and congratulate him.

Huang Qiusen was satisfied and began to deliver his acceptance speech.

Immediately afterwards, the Best Supporting Actress was awarded to a South Korean actress, and after receiving the award, Cheng Long walked up to the stage with an envelope containing the list of winners, and it was Guan Zhilin who presented the award to him.

If everyone was still skeptical about whether Guan Zhilin would really become the new "Lin Girl", then at this moment, Guan Zhilin and Cheng Long are standing on the stage together, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Among Hong Kong female stars, there are many people who are more qualified to present this award with Cheng Long than Guan Zhilin, but Guan Zhilin got this opportunity, as long as you know something about the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it is easy to figure out the reason for this.

Cheng Long chatted casually with Guan Zhilin on stage, and then Guan Zhilin took the initiative to take over the task of opening the envelope, and after opening it and taking a look, he unfolded the envelope to Cheng Long and asked him to announce the result.

Cheng Long glanced at Zhou Runfa who was sitting in the audience with a slightly envious gaze, and then announced that Zhou Runfa had won the award.

This is another expected result, but out of respect for the film "The Shawshank Redemption", the audience gave a warm applause to Zhou Yunfa's award. (To be continued......)
