Lin Youlun's conditions were very simple, he asked Wang Jing to find Li Jiaxin to be the heroine of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

The scandal storm some time ago has just passed, and it is inconvenient for Lin Youlun to contact Li Jiaxin publicly, if the media is aware of this matter, Wang Jing wants to bite to death and find Li Jiaxin to film is his own idea.

In fact, with the current level of attention of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", once the news of the movie adaptation spreads, it will be difficult not to be noticed by the media, so it is equivalent to Wang Jing helping Lin Youlun carry the black pot.

After Wang Jing accepted Lin Youlun's "unequal treaty", he then asked: "What about the actor?" ”

"I'll tell you when the Academy Awards are over tomorrow night."

——

In the past three months of 89 years, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has been lively: the scandal between Lin Youlun and Li Jiaxin, the news that Zhang Yurong is preparing to quit the music scene at the mentor meeting in the second season of "The Voice", Li Yuanba, who became popular with the movie "Myth", jumped to Golden Harvest, and Ni Zhen bombarded Hong Kong's four talents for not being worthy of the name...... In these uproarious news events, as soon as the shortlist of the winners of the 8th Academy Awards was announced, the effect was like adding fuel to the fire, pushing the lively atmosphere of the entire entertainment industry to the top.

The emcee of this year's award ceremony has changed from 2 to 4 people, in addition to last year's Shen Lixia and Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xinjian and Zhou Comin have been added.

As soon as the award ceremony began, the four emcees chatted about it on stage.

"In fact, at the beginning, only two people, me and Feifei, were determined to host, but as soon as the shortlist was announced. Everyone was amazed. Why are so many celebrities coming. So I hurriedly found Sir Chen and Miss Zhou to come over to help. Although Zeng Zhiwei's words were a bit exaggerated, tonight's situation really made him say nine times out of ten.

Shen Lixia nodded, "That's right, it's true that this hasn't happened before, and coincidentally, there is a shortlisted movie this year, and its name is the best way to describe tonight's situation." ”

"You can't be talking about Xu Guanwen's "Chicken and Duck Talk", right?" Chen Xinjian picked up mischievously. caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

Shen Lixia pretended to be angry, squeezed Chen Xinjian aside, and then said to Zhou Yimin: "Guess what, Comamin? ”

Zhou Comin held the microphone in both hands and said very quietly: "I guess it should be "Starry Tonight" starring Sister Qingxia and Brother Lin Zishen." ”

"Answer correctly, where is the applause?"

Zeng Zhiwei reminded him on stage, and everyone in the audience reacted, and then many people began to applaud.

At this time, the camera of the live broadcast machine swept over the audience, and the faces sitting in the front three rows were all very familiar faces, and the audience sitting in front of the TV really understood why the four emcees on the stage would take "Starry Tonight" to talk about things. Counting the award presenters, there are people with heads and faces in the Hong Kong film industry. Basically, they all sat on the scene, and they really deserved the word "starry".

Last year, there were a lot of people in the Hong Kong film industry, Liu Dehua won the Academy Award for Best Actor nomination for the first time with the debut film "Carmen Mong Kok" by newcomer director Wang Jiawei, and Leung Chaowei, who was named Best Actor two years ago, also entered the list of actor candidates again with his outstanding performance in "Mission Impossible".

Liu Dehua was shortlisted this time, and even he didn't expect it, originally he thought that he should be based on "Speed and Excitement. The movie "Love" was shortlisted, but I didn't expect that although the movie made enough box office at home and abroad, it was not very popular with the judges of the Academy Awards, and only got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and Xu Jinjiang, who was supposed to be the protagonist, became a supporting actor very aggrieved.

Although Johnny To's "Mission Impossible" was questioned by fans of the original TV series when it was released in the United States, the film received a lot of praise from American film critics, so it was not too surprising that Liang Chaowei was shortlisted this time.

What is really surprising is that in this year's competition for the best actor, Zhou Runfa, who is in full swing, was not shortlisted.

The reason is not strange, Zhou Yanfa, who is tired of acting in various Jianghu films, began to transform into comedy films last year, from "Eight Star Annunciation" at the beginning of the year to "Tiger Guard" at the end of the year, all of them are comedies, although the box office is very good, but none of them are award-winning films.

Because there is no Fa Ge, the competition for this year's actor is also extremely fierce, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei have to face competitors, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, including the first Academy Award actor Xu Guanwen, the second actor Hong Jinbao, and Zhang Yurong, who almost became the actor at the sixth Academy Awards.

There are only 8 Academy Awards so far, counting this year, Xu Guanwen is the fourth time that he has been shortlisted for the best actor, and the strength of the cold-faced smiling artist is undoubted, but among all the finalists, he is the least optimistic one, the reason is very simple, because the movie "Family Carnival" has just been released from theaters not long ago.

This film achieved a box office of 32 million, although the film was defeated in the face of the high box office of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" and "Mythology" both exceeded 80 million, both the total box office and the number of viewers, but it helped Lin Jianyue's Media Asia Film Company to become famous, and the contradiction between Lin Youlun and Lin Jianyue is no secret in the Hong Kong film industry.

Xu Guanwen also felt that his chances were slim this time, so he didn't even come to the award ceremony.

Hong Jinbao's movie shortlisted for Best Actor this year is very interesting, he put his childhood experience of learning art in the Zhanyuan Opera Troupe on the screen, the big brother of the year turned into his own master in the movie, and also acted well, this kind of theme is very much in line with the taste of the judges of the Statue Awards, Hong Jinbao has also become a rare special case in recent years to be shortlisted for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards as an action actor.

Among all the actor finalists, the highest call for the award is Zhang Yurong, because he just announced that he was retiring from the music scene not long ago, many people don't want to see him really leave, so they hope that the Academy Awards can leave him with a little golden man.

The movie that helped Zhang Yurong get nominated is called "Rouge Buckle", and it was Mei Yanfang who played opposite him, and when the two were filming this drama, they also happened to serve as mentors together in the first season of "The Voice", so there were frequent scandals about the two during that time, and even Zhang Yanrong's new mansion in Mid-Levels was said to be used to marry Mei Yanfang in the future.

Mei Yanfang also came to the scene today, and also sang the theme song of "Rouge Buckle" on stage, and in addition to her identity as a guest performer, she has to add a candidate for Best Actress today.

It is not particularly rare for the male and female protagonists of a movie to be shortlisted for the best actor and actress competition at the same time, and the most unusual thing is that "Rouge Buckle" was also shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Film Song, and Best Film Score, basically nominating all the awards that can be won.

Coincidentally, there is another film this year, which has also received multiple nominations like "Rouge Buckle", which is Wang Jiawei's "Carmen Mong Kok".

"Rouge Buckle" received a total of nine nominations, and "Carmen Mong Kok" was a tie with it.

The male and female protagonists of "Rouge Buckle" were both shortlisted for Best Actor and Actress, and "Carmen Mong Kok" was also shortlisted for Best Actress, in addition to Liu Dehua, Zhang Manyu was also shortlisted for Best Actress with this movie, and "Carmen Mong Kok" also won two nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the same time, these two are Zhang Xueyou and Wan Ziliang.

After the list of nominees for the Academy Awards was announced, some media interviewed Wang Jiawei's good friend Liu Zhenwei, and the first thing Liu Zhenwei said was: "If he wins the award, the person who should be thanked the most is me!" ”

Most people only think that Liu Zhenwei is joking, but those who know the inside story of this matter know that Liu Zhenwei is serious.

Thanks to Liu Zhenwei's help to intercede with Lin Youlun, Wang Jiawei's "Carmen Mong Kok" was successfully released instead of being banned, for which Liu Zhenwei owed Lin Youlun a great favor, and Wang Jiawei still owes Lin Youlun a "The Legend of Wukong" that I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to start filming.

The awards were given out one by one, and Wang Jiawei, who was sitting next to the boss Deng Guangrong, became more and more nervous, and there were many examples of the popularity of the Academy Awards, more than half of the awards ceremony, "Rouge Buckle" had won three awards in one go, and "Carmen Mong Kok" only won one best art director. According to the previous practice of dividing cakes at the Academy Awards, the more awards "Rouge Buckle" won in the front, the less likely it was to win later, while the situation in "Carmen Mongkok" was just the opposite.

Like Wang Jiawei, Zhang Manyu has great expectations for winning the award, and at the moment she is sitting in her seat, her hands clasped in prayer, her eyes closed, and she is silently praying in her heart. In addition to Mei Yanfang, this time there are also Zheng Yuling, Muse, and Tian Niu who are competing for the queen crown with Zhang Manyu, Zhang Manyu is not the acting queen who won awards and won soft hands in later generations, and this kind of performance is also normal.

On the other side of the venue, Wu Junru, who was shortlisted for the best newcomer with "Overlord Flower", was also very nervous, and Chen Kexin kept enlightening her on the side.

When the award presenters were about to announce the names of the winners, Wu Junru's heart was raised to her throat, and her two hands involuntarily grabbed Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin's feeling at the moment was very subtle, and others were concerned about the award results, but he watched Wu Junru grasp his arm, and he was stunned and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

When the award presenters shouted: ""Starry Tonight", Wu Dawei! At that time, a huge loss instantly enveloped Wu Junru.

Chen Kexin found that his emotions also became very uncomfortable with Wu Junru, and he didn't know how to comfort Wu Junru, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must help Wu Junru play better in "People and Ghosts", hoping that this time next year, she can stand happily on the podium.
