Chapter 499: Award Guess [One Update]
The police's anti-crime operation against the Hong Kong entertainment industry lasted for more than a month. Film companies with social backgrounds were investigated and closed, and more filmmakers involved in crime were summoned by the police.
Hong Kong black. The power of society in the film industry has not been completely uprooted by this action, but it has been alerted by this incident, and its actions have been restrained a lot, and the news that a certain actor or director who has repeatedly appeared in the newspapers has been threatened to film, has basically disappeared during this time.
At the same time as the police launched the operation, Jiayi Cinema Line also responded, and more than a dozen film companies were included in the blacklist of refusal to screen, which made the gang-related film companies that had already been a headache for the police even worse.
Biao Ge, who was sentenced to prison on several counts of kidnapping and extortion, was sentenced to eight years in prison, but then the police received more evidence that he was directly related to two murders and several drug cases, and was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court.
Soon there were rumors in the market that the evidence of Brother Biao's heavy sentence was an explanation given by those black-related film companies to calm Lin Youlun's anger, and several film companies were crossed out on the blacklist of Jiayi Cinema Line's refusal to screen, and the public statement was that these film companies signed the industry self-discipline statement, but everyone prefers the former statement.
Some media took stock of the first three months of the 90s, and found that the Hong Kong entertainment industry was really lively, first the release of "The Hangover" caused a war of words in the newspaper, then Wang Jing was revealed to have an extramarital affair, and then Liu Jialing was kidnapped to trigger an anti-black wave in the entertainment industry, which became more sensational than the other, and the protagonists in the incident were the most successful and could pass the test smoothly, and even get a blessing in disguise.
Ni Yu almost fled Hong Kong in embarrassment because of his criticism of "The Hangover", but was exposed by the media because of Wang Jing's extramarital affair. Everyone's attention was distracted. Lucky ones escaped this time; Wang Jing quickly got his wife's understanding with the help of Lin Youlun. But Qiu Yueqing, the 87-year Asian sister champion who was revealed by the media to have an extramarital affair with him, left Hong Kong and went to Taiwan after the incident, and this matter would not end there, but then the kidnapping case of Liu Jialing occurred, which shook the whole Hong Kong, and everyone was busy caring about the latest progress of the case, so naturally they had no intention of pursuing Wang Jing's matter.
The most fortunate thing to do was Liu Jialing, although the kidnapping incident and the naked . The exposure of the photo made her physically and mentally devastated. But her experience has also won unanimous sympathy from Hong Kong society, and many media outlets who do not look down on her because of her status as a "Beimei" have shown rare goodwill in this incident.
has been a half-popular acting career, but because of this incident, many film companies took the initiative to come to her to film, if she hadn't come out of the shadow of the incident, maybe at this time she would have had a headache about which script to choose and which role to play.
And this kind of distress is something that Liu Jialing has always been out of reach before.
Of course, Liu Jialing's biggest gain this time is still on the shortlist of the Academy Awards released in the latest issue of "Film Fortnightly", and she was shortlisted for the Best Actress Award for "Lying Woman".
Of course, nominating and winning awards are two different things. Although Liu Jialing this time because of kidnapping and naked. will get a lot of sympathy points according to the incident, but still no one thinks that she can win anything at this Academy Awards. The reason is very simple, the opponent Liu Jialing met this time was Zhong Chuhong.
Liu Jialing can't beat Zhong Chuhong, it's really a crime of non-war - "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is on the list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards, and the words "reigning in the world" are vividly explained, except for the best newcomer and the best action director, which are really impossible to get the two awards, the name of this film can be seen in the shortlist of other awards.
With this movie, Zhong Chuhong has won the award from the United States to Europe, and the Taiwan Golden Horse Award did not hesitate to put the crown of the actress on her head, everyone believes that Zhong Chuhong will become the first double actress to win the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue with the same movie and the same role.
And even if she didn't meet Zhong Chuhong, Liu Jialing is not very likely to win the award this time, because the other finalists have a higher call for winning than her.
Zhang Aijia, who was nominated for the Golden Statue actress again with two works, should have been beautiful at this time, but because she was unmarried and pregnant for several months, everyone was more concerned about who the father of the child in her belly was, but no one cared about whether she would win the award this time.
And Zhang Manyu, who was shortlisted for the Academy Awards for the first time with "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", was also very open this time, and when he met reporters, he said that Zhong Chuhong would definitely win the award this time, and then generously sent blessings to his friends.
There is no suspense about this year's Best Actress, but there is a lot of competition for Best Actor.
After the release of "Ghost Love", Lin Youlun once joked that the Academy Awards did not stipulate that the chairman could not win the award, but he didn't expect it to be a poke, this time the Academy Awards judges gave Mr. Chairman a lot of face, not only gave a nomination for Best Actor, but also appeared on the shortlist for Best Screenplay.
Although the weight of the best actor is heavier than the best screenplay, the Hong Kong media generally believe that Lin Youlun will pay more attention to the best screenplay, because acting is just an interest for him, and screenwriting is his real main business.
Lin Youlun has no intention of competing for Best Actor, and then this year's competition for the best actor is particularly tragic.
Zhou Runfa, who was absent from the actor competition last year, made a funny movie for a whole year, and returned with "The Story of Ah Lang", and once again entered the list of nominees for Best Actor.
This film also helped Johnny To get a nomination for Best Director, and Johnny To officially became one of Hong Kong's first-line directors with this film.
Last year it was Liang Chaowei, and this year it became Zhou Runfa.
Of course, Fa Ge is not under pressure this time, although there are many young faces in this Academy Award competition not like the previous one, but all the veterans are here.
Hong Jinbao, who has won two awards, Xu Guanwen, the first Academy Award actor, and Cheng Long, who starred in a literary film for the first time, should not be underestimated in terms of fame and strength.
Hong Jinbao has won two awards for the actor, and he has climbed to the top again in his career, so he is not determined to win this year's actor, a reporter asked him how sure he is of winning the award this year, and he laughed and said that it was less than three percent.
To be modest is to be humble, but it is also true.
In this movie, the audience can see a completely different Hong Jinbao from the outside, or a man who subverts the image of Hong Jinbao in his previous minds, driving a taxi in the United States, borrowing eight taels of gold clothes and brocade to return to his hometown, meeting his former lover, and falling in love for a long time, but the other party has been engaged, and after the most reluctance, he drove a walk-behind tractor to send the other party to the boat, and he just ran desperately along the coast, watching happiness fade away.
It sounds like a vulgar story, but it is very intriguing, but this year, both Hong Jinbao and Zhang Wanting have a feeling of unluck, Hong Jinbao's performance in the film would definitely be eligible to win the actor before, but because he had already won it once last year, and he had won this award twice, it is unlikely that the Academy Awards will award him again.
Zhang Wanting is also in the same situation, "Illegal Immigrant" with the same theme has already made her win the best director once, and the nomination is an affirmation of her work, but if Zhang Wanting wants to win this award again, at least she has to change the theme first.
Hong Jinbao's younger brother Cheng Long really wants to win this award, because as an action actor, he knows that it is really difficult to win this award when he makes action movies.
Last year, Hong Jinbao made the story of Master Yu Zhanyuan into "Seven Little Blessings" and won the award, and Cheng Long was inspired by this to make a literary film "Miracle", and the cameo performances of a large number of stars in the film often make the audience inadvertently shine, which can also be seen Cheng Long's expectations for this movie.
Among all the Best Actor finalists, Xu Guanwen should be regarded as the most indifferent, since the birth of the Academy Awards, he can basically be shortlisted for this award every year, and then he is a companion every year.
In the past, there was a Zhou Runfa who was depressed with him, and later Zhou Runfa became a fairy hair, although there is only one actor title like Xu Guanwen, but the limelight in the Hong Kong film industry is unparalleled, and in comparison, it is even more lonely for Xu Guanwen.
Xu Guanwen felt guilty of Lin Youlun because he helped Lin Jianyue's Huanya start filming "Family Carnival" last year, but he didn't even come to the awards ceremony to be shortlisted for the actor, and the work shortlisted again this year was "Family Carnival", and he realized that he really thought too much last year.
Although Lin Youlun and Lin Jianyue don't deal with each other, they won't be angry with the person who helped Lin Jianyue make a movie, Xu Guanwen After figuring out this, of course he won't be absent this year, but his mentality this time is more for the purpose of cheering.
It is true that comedy movies are popular in the market, but they are not very popular with the judges of the Academy Awards, which is similar to action movies, otherwise Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi would have won the award a long time ago.
Compared with Xu Guanwen's calmness, Wu Junru is too nervous, her name is also on the shortlist of this year's Academy Awards, and this is not the first time she has been shortlisted for the Academy Awards, last year was the best newcomer, and this year is the best supporting actress.
"According to this trend, I should be nominated for Best Actress next year!" Although Wu Junru will still grin and joke in front of the media, and said that it is good to be able to win the award, and she will not be very sad if she can't get it, but in fact, she has great expectations for this time.
The reason is also simple, because Chen Kexin was also shortlisted for Best Director, and he is a big favorite to win the award.
If even Chen Kexin, who was a director for the first time, won the award, but Wu Junru won nothing, she would feel very faceless. (To be continued......)
