PS: Thank you Hai Bingbing, Xiao Ke Jumping, Ling Chenyu, yangminfafaf, Er Ru five classmates voted for the monthly ticket and evaluation vote, asking for a week of guaranteed recommendation votes.
This year's Best Director at the Academy Awards is still very popular.
The shortlisted directors are all big names, such as the famous Hong Kong director Du Qifeng, the best director of the three-time Academy Awards, he and Ye Sumang are still old rivals, and both of them were shortlisted for the best director at the 24th Academy Awards, but unfortunately at that time he lost to the best director who was winning the award "If? "Love" is in full swing, and this time is obviously the second contest between the two.
And it is worth mentioning that this time Du Qifeng was nominated for Best Director by as many as two, which undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the rest of the directors, and the outside world also has a good opinion that Du Qifeng can win the award.
In addition to Du Qifeng, Zhang Yimou, a veteran director in the mainland, is obviously also a highlight.
If Ye Sumang has taken the blockbuster model to the extreme, then as the pioneer of Chinese blockbusters, he has to mention Zhang Yimou, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of "The Grandmaster" at the North American box office this year, then the best export film would still be "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou.
And Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is undoubtedly a pioneering existence, it introduced the concept of blockbusters into Huaxia, so that Huaxia films got rid of the previous concept of always life-oriented and low-cost, which is definitely a leap forward for Huaxia films, of course, although the follow-up development is a little deformed, but this credit is undoubtedly indestructible.
And this time, he will take his latest masterpiece "The City Full of Golden Armor" to face the Golden Statue, although this film has received bad reviews in the mainland, but it has been unexpectedly praised in Europe and the United States, so this is also a reason why the media is optimistic about him.
However, neither of the above two is the most potential winner. In the eyes of the media, it is still Ye Sumang who can win the Best Director Gold Award this time.
There's no way, who made the results of "The Grandmaster" too dazzling.
And the media unanimously agreed that since the "What If? Since the beginning of "Love", Ye Sumang has found his own way, combining business and art perfectly. makes the movie very enjoyable, connotative and competitive at the box office, which is like a martial arts master not only mastering the dragon slaying knife, but also holding the Yitian sword, in this case, the media is naturally the most optimistic about Ye Sumang winning the award, and even in the odds offered by the casino, Ye Sumang is also firmly in the first position.
Even in the latest popular portal voting, Ye Sumang is far ahead.
In a moment's time, the award presenter had already walked to the front of the stage. It is HK's famous prolific director Wang Jing and his father, the famous director, producer, and infinite veteran Wang Tianlin.
The father-son duo is also a testament to the importance that this year's Academy Awards place on Best Director.
"Everyone, I'm Wang Jing at night, and the one next to me is my father, Wang Tianlin." Change the smile of the past. At this moment, Wang Jing's face also had a sense of calmness.
With his introduction, there was also a round of applause at the scene.
Wang Tianlin is definitely a pillar of Hong Kong movies and TV dramas. This applause is undoubtedly also dedicated to this old man.
After listening to Wang Jing's introduction, Wang Tianlin also smiled and put his mouth in front of the microphone.
"Son, I am very happy that we have the honor to present the Best Director Award this time, but I have always had a question, weishenme, you have made thousands of films, and the box office results are also the first place in the cumulative HK. But it's no longer possible to win the prize? Not even a single nomination, which really hurts my heart. ”
Speaking of this, the old man glanced at the position of the jury, and suddenly said: "Judges of the jury, if you have the opportunity." Let's also sit down and listen to the presenter read out my son's name, and then I'll obviously be happier. ”
Hearing his father complain like this, Wang Jing smiled helplessly.
There's no way, who let what the old man said was completely correct.
In the HK movie industry, Wang Jing and Wang Jiawei are definitely two extremes, one is a representative of high production and high box office but has never won awards, and the other is a representative of difficult birth box office poison but has won awards every time.
Wang Jing is now the No. 1 director in the number of films shot and the total number of box office films among HK film directors, but even so, the Academy Awards have never favored him even once, not even nominated for it, let alone won any awards.
Looking at Wang Jing with a sad face, there was also laughter at the scene, obviously knowing what happened to this great director.
"Dad, don't say this, although I can't win awards, but I can win the box office is also haode, if you really want me to make movies like the king of sunglasses, who are you pointing to raise you."
Poof!
Ye Sumang could still deal with it indifferently just now, but Wang Jing's sentence of 'Sunglasses King' really amused him, and those who know know know that the Sunglasses King is obviously referring to Wang Jiawei.
"Alas, rotten wood cannot be carved." After listening to Wang Jing's answer, the old man shook his head, sighed deeply, and said: "You still have to see how those directors make movies next, study hard, how people win awards and box office, and learn to support me." ”
After saying this, the old man's hand also pointed to the big screen behind him, and the picture of the shortlist for the best director jumped in front of everyone's eyes, and the voice of the narrator of ceremonies also sounded.
"The Best Director Award at the 26th Academy Awards, shortlisted for Du Qifeng's "Underworld 2: Harmony is Precious", Du Qifeng's "Put? Chasing", Zhang Yimou's "The City is Full of Golden Armor", Tan Jiaming's "Father and Son", Ye Sumang's "A Generation of Grandmasters". ”
The clips of the wonderful films came into the eyes of everyone present, and each of them would cause cheers from the audience, especially when it came to "The Grandmaster", Gong Er, who was wearing a black cheongsam and a mink fur in the film, posed in the classic gossip palm gesture, and the call on the scene also reached the highest peak.
"It's really expected." A reporter at the scene couldn't help but sigh when he heard this shout.
It's just a self-emotion, but I didn't expect someone to talk to me.
"Who said no, such a high box office, so haode word-of-mouth, this year's Chinese New Year file is the most popular film, plus it has just been removed from the United States for less than a month, and its popularity is at its peak, and it is normal for many people to support it."
The dialogue between the two people is undoubtedly the thoughts of all the reporters present, but they don't want Ye Sumang to win the award in their hearts, just like the reporter's emotion just now, it is too much to expect, if Ye Sumang wins the award, it will mean a reduction in topicality.
On the contrary, it will make their articles better and the newspapers will sell well.
Soon, the list of nominees was played, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the father-son award presenters on the stage.
"They are really great directors." Wang Tianlin couldn't help but sigh: "Du Qifeng, you still gave me a hand back then, and now you have become a three-time best director, which shows that our HK films are developing rapidly, and they are simply changing with each passing day, and a generation of new people is replacing the old." ”
The old man said with a smile, if others say something, they may be suspected of boasting, but from the mouth of the old man Wang Tianlin, it is indeed an indisputable fact, not only Du Qifeng, such as Wei Jiahui, You Naihai, etc., can be regarded as Wang Tianlin's disciples, as one of the veterans of wireless, the big directors in today's HK director circle, it can be said that more than half of them are the descendants of Mr. Wang.
Along with the old man's words, the camera also gave Du Qifeng, and Du Qifeng smiled very gracefully.
"Well... Ye Su Mang. After a pause, Old Man Wang suddenly clicked on Ye Sumang's name and said: "I haven't seen this young man, but he is one of the names that have sounded most frequently in my ears in the past two years, and I have also seen his "Generation Grandmaster", the old man I was also deeply moved by the wonderful shots inside, especially the picture when Baji Boxing hit the neck bone, bloody and violent, the camera captured it is simply to the point, I almost had a heart attack when I sat in the theater after seeing it, he is a good director!" ”
"I can testify to this for my father." Wang Jing interjected, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly burst into laughter.
The camera will naturally not let go of Ye Sumang at this moment, to be honest, Ye Sumang was really surprised to hear Wang Tianlin read his name, after all, the two have never intersected, but Ye Sumang will naturally return the praise of the old man's kindness with a kind smile.
Then Mr. Wang didn't call anyone else, and directly opened the list of winners.
"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 26th HK Film Awards is ......" Reading this, the old man Wang Tianlin suddenly looked puzzled, raised his head to look at the audience, and suddenly asked: "Where is Ye Sumang?" ”
Kindness?
Ye Sumang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand.
Although the old man is old, his eyes are very sharp, and he caught Ye Sumang at the first moment, and immediately smiled: "Congratulations, you have won the award!" ”
――――――!
Really! The best director still did not escape from Ye Sumang's palm, and it seems that the judges of the Academy Awards did not dare to risk the world's disapproval and play an upset at this award.
"Congratulations, Director Ye!"
"Su Mang, good job!"
"Su Mang, congratulations, come to the stage to receive the award."
The celebrities and directors who knew each other and didn't know all expressed their blessings to Ye Sumang, shaking hands, hugging and hugging, it took more than half a minute for Ye Sumang to finally get out, come to the podium, and take the trophy handed over by Mr. Wang.
"Young man, it's very good, I have the opportunity to come to my house once, everyone is a movie lover, and we can communicate together." Old man Wang Tianlin politely sent an invitation to Ye Sumang, which was rare for Wang Tianlin, who had already lived in a shallow state.
Even Wang Jing on the side looked at his father in surprise.
"Definitely." Ye Sumang nodded and agreed, Wang Tianlin, as the veteran of HK movies, both experience and connections are what Ye Sumang needs, and he is naturally happy to accept this friendship. (To be continued......)
