Three years ago, Zhou Yimin missed the shortlist for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, and the scene of the much-anticipated confrontation between the two films "Untouchable Lovers" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" failed to be staged at the Academy Awards, and the Hong Kong media regretted it for a long time.

So it's understandable why the media was so excited when the shortlist for this year's Academy Awards was announced.

The battle between the Golden Statue actresses, which has been delayed for three years, is about to start between Zhou Comin and Wang Guxian, and when there is still more than half a month before the awards ceremony, the media has already begun to build momentum for this "decisive battle".

Most people think that this year's Academy Awards Best Actress will only be born between Zhou Comin and Wang Guxian, of course, there are a few people who have different opinions, among them, some people think that this year's Best Actress should be awarded to Xiao Fangfang, the reason is not because Xiao Fangfang got two nominations alone, but because they feel that Zhou Comin and Wang Guxian are meat on the palms and backs of their hands for Lin Youlun, and awarding the award to anyone will cause dissatisfaction from the other, in order to ensure that the backyard does not catch fire, Lin Youlun is likely to make a move to divert his attention, Awarded the award to Xiao Fangfang, the two girls did not get this award, in fact, it was the highest result.

This seemingly ridiculous statement has been supported by many people, because Lin Youlun has played like this before, at the 7th Academy Awards, Wang Guxian was shortlisted for the Best Actress Award for "A Chinese Ghost Story", and Qiu Shuzhen was also shortlisted for this award for "The Silence of the Lambs", at that time, everyone thought that the actress would only be produced between the two of them, and then they were waiting to see Lin Youlun's backyard catch fire, but they didn't expect that the last winner was Xiao Fangfang, which made people surprised.

The situation of this year's Academy Awards is the same as it was back then. Therefore, everyone thinks that Lin Youlun is likely to repeat his old tricks.

On the first night of the Academy Awards. Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun and Huang Qiusen gathered at a food stall to drink. During the banquet, Wu Zhenyu analyzed Liu Qingyun and said: "The river mussels compete, and the fisherman profits, and now Xiao Fangfang is this fisherman...... As long as Miss Zhou can't win the Best Actress Award, then you have a better chance of winning the Best Actor Award! ”

Liu Qingyun shook his head, "Don't just talk about me, isn't Huang Qiusen also shortlisted for the Best Actor Award?" Although I got two nominations, the chances were equal as long as I was shortlisted. Besides, his performance in "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" this time is really exciting, and as we all know, the judges of the Academy Awards have always been very interested in this kind of heavy-tasting tertiary film. ”

Huang Qiusen drank a glass of beer and put the cup on the table.

"You guys will discuss it, don't pull me in, this time I was shortlisted to accompany the run, don't believe we make a bet?"

Huang Qiusen also burped as he spoke, and then saw that Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun were not speaking, so he picked up the beer bottle on the side and poured wine into his cup. On the other hand, he continued: "Don't believe me when I say this, although what Liu Qingyun just said makes sense. But have you forgotten? I won the award with "The Silence of the Lambs" back then, and this time the role of "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" is purely an imitation of "The Silence of the Lambs", even if I play it well, it is impossible for the judges of the Academy Awards to award the award to the same role twice. Besides, I'm really not interested in acting in a third-level film and winning awards, an actor has been in decline for three years, I don't want to experience it again! ”

Wu Zhenyu took a sip of his wine glass and asked, "Then who do you think is Liu Qingyun's biggest competitor in this year's actor competition?" ”

"Didn't you just say that? Liu Qingyun wants to win the award, the key is to look at the ownership of the Best Actress Award, if Miss Zhou wins this award, then Liu Qingyun will have no chance, as for the other two actors who were shortlisted together this time, Zhang Rongrong threatened to be bigger, and then Wu Xingguo is not easy to say, because the box office of the movie "Tempting Monk" is very controversial, and there are only two possibilities for the result, either it is not a prize, or it is a bumper harvest, I think the former possibility will be greater, after all, the Academy Awards have been very pragmatic in recent years. The box office of "The Seductory Monk" is so bad that it can't be watched, and investors are so bad that they have to vomit blood, so it is unlikely that the movie will be selected by the Academy Awards. ”

"Then why did "Caged People" win the award last year?" Wu Zhenyu asked puzzled.

Huang Qiusen shook his head, ""Caged People" won the award because the theme focuses on the reality of Hong Kong, while the theme of "Seducting Monk" is too forward-looking, avant-garde, and weird, and it is estimated that no one will appreciate it in ten years. ”

Liu Qingyun listened to Huang Qiusen and Wu Zhenyu arguing over there, and his mood was very complicated.

At this time, Huang Qiusen suddenly turned his head and put his hand on Liu Qingyun's shoulder.

"Don't you feel very aggrieved, winning the award is not based on your own strength, but depends on luck?"

Liu Qingyun was silent for a long time and didn't speak, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know what to say.

Huang Qiusen explained Liu Qingyun with the experience of people who came over and said: "Actually, you think too much, if you want to win the award, it really depends on luck, but strength is still the premise, if you can't even enter the shortlist, no matter how good your luck is, it's useless!" Being able to do this step has already proved your strength, so don't worry too much, there will be a chance in the future if you can't get it this time, as long as you have the strength, you will get this award one day. ”

"Friends, guests, and viewers in front of the TV, good evening, I'm Shum Jianxun!"

"I'm Shen Xia!"

As the two emcees walked to the center of the stage and picked up the microphone to make opening remarks to the live broadcast camera, the 13th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony officially kicked off at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

"Manager Cen, long time no see!"

"Sister Fatty, welcome back!"

The seemingly simple greetings attracted a smile from many guests at the scene.

Cen Jianxun and Shen Lixia's two greetings are actually very meaningful, Cen Jianxun has rarely appeared at the front desk since he became the general manager of Jiayi Cinema Line, so Shen Lixia greeted him and said, "Long time no see"; And Shen Lixia because she had left wireless before, went to ATV to be a program host for a period of time, and it was an exception to invite her to be the emcee at the last Academy Awards, and this year she has returned to wireless, so Cen Jianxun greeted her and said "Welcome back".

The live broadcast camera was pulled back, and I saw Shen Lixia holding the microphone in one hand and turning to look at Cen Jianxun.

"Manager Cen, have you made any mistakes recently?"

Cen Jianxun was very strange, "Why do you have such a strange question?" ”

"Because if you hadn't made a mistake, how could Mr. Lin send you here to be the emcee, you must know that the position of the general manager of Jiayi Cinema Line is much more beautiful than the emcee of the Academy Awards ceremony!"

Shen Lixia said it seriously, but the audience was amused by her words.

Cen Jianxun immediately counterattacked: "But no one stipulates that if you are the general manager, you can't be the master of ceremonies, right?" ”

"Are you really wrong?"

Shen Yanxia grasped this matter, and Cen Jianxun was immediately defeated.

"Okay, in fact, today should have been Chen Xinjian Chen Sir and your partner, but he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized two days ago, and the others were free, so I had to come to replace him."

"No, there are so many hosts in Hong Kong, they are looking for you?" Shen Xiaxia still didn't believe it.

"Don't you notice that I stand with you very well?"

Shen Yanxia pretended to be shyly and raised an orchid finger at Cen Jianxun, "Hey, don't say that, people will be shy." ”

The audience immediately burst into laughter.

Cen Jianxun was also a little unbearable, and quickly clarified: "It's that you misunderstood, okay, I'm talking about the two of us with better hairstyles, yours looks like an owl, and mine looks like a lion!" ”

"So I'm not presiding over the Academy Awards ceremony today, but the zoo awards ceremony?" Shen Lixia continued to exert her funny skills, and many guests in the audience laughed loudly considering that their image was not good, and they all covered their mouths with their hands and secretly had fun over there.

"Okay, okay, then let's start awarding the first award, Best Beast ......" Cen Jianxun quickly gagged his mouth when he said this, and immediately corrected: "No, it's the Best Movie Song Award!" ”

There was another burst of laughter in the audience, followed by applause.

The award presenters came to the stage, opened the envelope and announced that the theme song "White Hair and Red Face" of the movie "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" written by Lin Xi and composed by Zhang Rongrong won the award, and followed Zhang Rongrong to the stage to accept the award.

When delivering his acceptance speech, Zhang Yurong's first sentence was "Thank you Lin Xi", and then it was the turn of all the members of the crew of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".

The live broadcast camera swept across the audience, and stopped at Lin Xi, the lyricist of the award-winning movie theme song with a series of indifferent smiles.

And not far from Lin Xi's seat, Huang Qiusen and Liu Qingyun sat together, and when they saw Zhang Yurong coming to the stage to accept the award, Huang Qiusen tilted his head to Liu Qingyun's side and whispered: "It seems that Zhang Yurong is no threat to you!" ”

This statement was not agreed by Liu Qingyun.

"It's just a technical award, Zhang Yurong won this award, it doesn't mean that he won't be able to win the best actor."

Huang Qiusen didn't intend to argue with Liu Qingyun, and sat up straight before the camera of the live broadcast machine swept over him.

On stage, Zhang Yurong finished his acceptance speech and was about to step down, but was stopped by Cen Jianxun and Shen Lixia together.

"Rong Zai, you're leaving like this?"

"Why, you want to keep me for dinner? You're welcome, I've eaten it! Zhang Yurong ridiculed, but it made Cen Jianxun and Shen Lixia very embarrassed all of a sudden.

Shen Lixia came back to her senses, and then immediately counterattacked: "Old rule, your song won an award, why should you sing it live?" ”

"Do you want to listen to Rong Zai sing!" Shum Jianxun pointed the microphone to the audience and encouraged everyone to cheer.

At the strong request of the audience, Zhang Yurong had to sing "Red Face and White Hair" with the trophy, and then he was released by the two emcees. (To be continued......)
