Chapter 700: Change [One Update]
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Youlun's voice pulled Wang Guxian's gaze back from the list of nominees for the Academy Awards in his hand.
Seeing Lin Youlun leaning against the door of the study and the sea-view balcony with his hands crossed, Wang Guxian hurriedly excused himself: "I didn't peek at your documents!" ”
Lin Youlun only felt that Wang Guxian's reaction at the moment was very funny, "Then what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Wang Guxian hurriedly hid the list behind him, and said coquettishly: "It's not that I deliberately want to see it, it's it that came out of its own to let me see it." ”
Lin Youlun walked over, took Wang Guxian into his arms, put one hand into her silk nightgown very dishonestly, and took the nomination list with the other hand and looked at it twice, then threw it aside, lowered his head and prepared to kiss Wang Guxian's face.
"No, I'll ask Mother Wu to prepare breakfast, she may come over at any time."
Wang Guxian stretched out his hand to block it, but Lin Youlun couldn't help but hug her horizontally, put her on the desk next to her, pulled the nightgown, leaned over and kissed Wang Guxian's white and snowy neck, and buried his head between her twin peaks.
Wang Guxian is in a burst of Jiao. gasped, half-pushed and half-acquiesced to Lin Youlun's absurd behavior, and took the initiative to help Lin Youlun untie his belt with both hands.
Mother Wu went upstairs with breakfast, and before she reached the door of the study, she had already heard that something was wrong with the sound inside, and after a little hesitation, she left quietly, without disturbing the pair of men and women who were "morning luck" in the study.
Half an hour later, Wu's mother went upstairs with breakfast again, just in time to see Wang Guxian coming out of the study wrapped in a somewhat messy nightgown.
"Miss Wang, your breakfast ......"
"Let's put it in for now. I'll go downstairs and get it myself later. Wang Guxian wrapped his nightgown tightly. I was a little embarrassed to say it. Then he hurried back to his bedroom.
Mother Wu glanced at the open study, Lin Youlun was already sitting at the desk neatly dressed, reading a somewhat crumpled document.
Just now, when Wang Guxian was holding his hand on the desk and letting Lin Youlun gallop, he accidentally touched this fax information, and he was crumpled by her after that.
After finishing the work, Lin Youlun smoothed out the fax again, and the handwriting was not damaged.
The five films shortlisted for Best Picture are not much different from Lin Youlun's memory, "Lame Hao", "Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", "Marriage Don't Speak", "Wong Fei Hung: The Lion King" and "Across the Seas".
"Marriage Don't Speak" is a fresh literary film. If it was two years earlier, this type of film would definitely be a big hit for awards, but recently because of the appearance of the Golden Dragon Award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the Academy Awards have felt a lot of pressure, and the direction of the jury has also shifted a little, and those commercial films that are popular are the focus of the judges.
The competition for the best picture this time mainly focuses on the duel between the two gangster biopics "Lame Hao" and "Inspector Lei Luo", as well as the wrestling between Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, two old friends, "Wong Fei Hung: The Lion King" and "Across the Seas".
Xu Ke's Huang Feihong series was born ahead of schedule, and now it has filmed the third part, with the box office and word-of-mouth of the first two films, this one has also achieved good results, and Wu Yusen's "Across the Seas" not only brings together Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Yurong, two superstars. At the same time, it is also Zhong Chuhong's film, and the box office reputation after its release is first-class. When these two movies come together, there will definitely be a dragon fight.
And "Lame Hao" and "500 Million Inspector Lei Luo" are both leaders in last year's biopic trend, "Lame Hao" is the pioneer of this type of film, although "500 Million Inspector Lei Luo" is a follow-up work, when the total box office of the two films reached more than 50 million, the box office far exceeded "Lame Hao", not to mention, the reputation is also good.
Of course, when it comes to the films shortlisted for the best film, we have to mention last year's Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption", after this film reached the top at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, it won many awards along the way, including the Golden Globe Awards and the British Academy Film Awards.
At the press conference for the establishment of the Golden Dragon Awards, Lin Youlun mentioned that the purpose of setting up the Golden Dragon Awards was to allow more filmmakers to be recognized by the awards, and considering that the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption" has won so many film awards, Lin Youlun personally came forward to persuade Lin Lingdong and Zhou Yunfa, and the film did not participate in the review of the Academy Awards.
The Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption" does not participate in the awards, which makes the 11th Academy Awards, which was the least suspenseful in the eyes of the public and the media, suddenly become suspenseful.
The shortlist for Best Director basically continues the lineup of Best Film, but Chen Jiashang's "Truant Dragon" replaces "Don't Talk in Marriage", which shows the mentality of the judges of this Academy Awards - in order to ensure that the influence of the Academy Awards will not be overshadowed by the Golden Dragon Award, they have to put down their previous literary and artistic style and take the people-friendly route instead.
The biggest difference between Lin Youlun's impression on the list is the finalist for the Best Actor Award - Lu Liangwei "Lame Hao", Zhou Xingchi "Truant Dragon", Zhou Yunfa "Across the Seas", and Liu Dehua "The Biography of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", Zeng Zhiwei, who should have won the actor this year, did not appear on this list, replaced by Zhang Rongrong, who was shortlisted again with "Comprehensive Four Seas".
The "Tale of Two Cities", which helped Zeng Zhiwei win the Golden Statue actor, was originally planned to be released last year, but because Lin Youlun temporarily borrowed Chen Kexin for filming "Love Call Transfer", this movie is still being filmed, and Zeng Zhiwei is certainly not shortlisted.
Although he was not nominated for the nomination, Zeng Zhiwei's name still appeared on this list, and he will host the award ceremony with Chen Xinjian this year.
In addition, the other awards on the list are basically the same as Lin Youlun's memory.
The original copy of the fax had been crumpled, so Lin Youlun had to reprint a copy, add his own commentary to it, and send it back to the editorial department of "Film Fortnightly".
The shortlist was published in the new issue of "Film Fortnightly" the next day, and then the eyes of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry were drawn to the upcoming 11th Academy Awards.
——
"Hello, everyone, I'm Zeng Zhiwei!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xinjian."
In front of the live camera, Chen Xinjian had already stood up, but Zeng Zhiwei was still looking around.
"Don't look for it, the red carpet hasn't started yet, and it's just the two of us here."
"No......" Zeng Zhiwei turned his head and looked at Chen Xinjian blankly: "Our partner? ”
Chen Xinjian replied angrily: "What is our partner, I am your partner today, okay?" ”
"You're my partner?" Zeng Zhiwei pointed at Chen Xinjian with an exaggerated expression, "According to the past practice, shouldn't it be a match for men and women?" Could it be that you ......"
"Okay, what are you talking about, I'm a man, and my orientation is normal." Chen Xinjian particularly emphasized.
"Don't you think it's weird that two men are standing on the stage as emcees?" Zeng Zhiwei asked rhetorically.
"It's not like there haven't been two hostesses before, what's so strange about that?" Chen Xinjian pouted nonchalantly, "And have you noticed that this Academy Awards is very special." ”
Zeng Zhiwei shook his head, and Chen Xinjian then explained to him: "This Academy Award is special in that it is special, and the main shortlisted movies are very distinctive......"
Before he finished speaking, Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly said: "I know this way, "Lame Hao" and "500 Million Inspector Lei Luo" are all about the true deeds of the big brother on the road, and now this kind of film is very popular." ”
Chen Xinjian nodded, "So, this year's shortlisted film works have a very prominent masculine style, so the Academy Awards Organizing Committee specially arranged for us to be the emcee of this year, so that we can match." ”
"I see!" Zeng Zhiwei nodded, "Actually, I almost can't come and be the master of ceremonies with you, because I have a movie that was originally released last year, but because the director was borrowed by someone else to shoot another film, that movie hasn't been filmed yet, otherwise, I might be one of the finalists for Best Actor." ”
Chen Xinjian kindly reminded: "You help yourself advertise your movie like this, be careful that the next Academy Awards will be blocked!" ”
Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly covered his mouth and said to the live camera: "Sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
"Okay, the red carpet is about to start, let's hand over the camera to the photographer over there first, I believe the audience can't wait." As soon as Chen Xinjian raised his hand, the director followed and switched the live broadcast screen to the red carpet.
The rotating chairman of this year's Academy Awards is Lin Lingdong, who was the first to walk across the red carpet with a black briefcase containing an envelope containing the winners.
With Lin Lingdong's qualifications, he is also worthy of the rotating chairman of the Academy Awards, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that making such an arrangement at this year's Academy Awards is actually a compensation for the Hong Kong version of "The Shawshank Redemption" not participating in the awards.
Lin Lingdong walked off the red carpet, and the real entrance ceremony officially began.
The second welcome car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, and the door on the side of the red carpet opened, but it was Liang Chaowei who stepped out of the car.
As soon as he appeared, Liang Chaowei wore a style that made the reporters in front of the red carpet shine - a black suit, a white shirt, a bow tie at the neckline, and his hair was combed back, making a very popular boss hairstyle.
The reporters raised their cameras one after another to take pictures, Liang Chaowei did not immediately cooperate with various poses, but walked quickly to the other side of the car door, opened the door, and helped Liu Jialing, who was wrapped in a sexy red dress, to get out of the car.
