Things really made Lin Youlun guess correctly, Zhang Manyu is here today, it is indeed for "The True Story of the Crazy Guy".

This film was shortlisted for 5 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and it can be regarded as a big hit at this year's Academy Awards, but being shortlisted and winning awards are two different things, Zhang Manyu was worried about her boyfriend, so she came to Zhong Chuhong to help inquire about the news.

In the days when the Academy Awards ceremony was approaching, there was an endless stream of people like Lin Xiaoman and Zhang Manyu who came in to inquire about him through Lin Youlun's side, and even called him directly to ask about it.

This year's Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kowloon University Hall, with a red carpet spread out on the wide staircase leading from the main entrance to the lobby entrance, flanked by media reporters and fans.

After two years of strict dress code, the red carpet of the Academy Awards ceremony has become a concentrated display of dress brands, and it has become a norm for female stars to compete on the red carpet, and their white spoon dress has often become a hot topic in the media.

Of course, the most eye-catching on the red carpet are the male and female stars who appear on the opposite side, these have either been rumored before, or are now spreading scandals, and as soon as they appear, they will become the focus of attention of on-site reporters.

Who Lin Youlun will take on the red carpet this year, the media has speculated a lot before, it was Zhong Chuhong the year before last, and Zhou Comin last year, so many people think that this year must be Wang Guxian.

In the past year, the most popular female star in Hong Kong is none other than Wang Guxian, and the two movies "Shaolin Football" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" have completely established Wang Guxian's status as a first-line red star.

Although "Shaolin Football" is a box office hit, it is completely insulated from the awards, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only released this year and can only participate in the judging of next year's Academy Awards, so this year's Academy Awards has nothing to do with Wang Guxian, and her name is not even in the list of award presenters.

When Lin Youlun appeared, it was really not Wang Guxian by his side, to be precise, he didn't bring a female companion at all this time, and one walked on the red carpet, which surprised the media reporters on both sides.

In fact, Lin Youlun doesn't want to be so "single", but the women around him are really not available. Zhong Chuhong followed the crew of "Legend of the Night 2" to Europe for filming, Wang Guxian was busy filming "Midnight Bell" in Japan, and Qiu Shuzhen was filming "The Silence of the Lambs...... Zhou Yimin, the only free man, basically didn't participate in any movies this year, so he didn't want to join in the fun.

However, Lin Youlun was not completely empty-handed this time, a black briefcase in his hand attracted a lot of attention, and after he explained to everyone, he realized that the briefcase contained an envelope containing the list of winners.

"In the future, there will be another executive chairman for each Academy Awards, and he will be responsible for bringing the results to the venue." When Lin Youlun was interviewed by the two ceremonies at the scene, he briefly explained why he was carrying such a briefcase in his hand.

"Why would you want to create such a position?" Zheng Yutong then asked another question, and then handed the microphone to Lin Youlun.

"Yes, Mr. Lin is so young, wouldn't he think of retiring?" Zeng Zhiwei also said on the side.

Zheng Yutong was selected as the emcee who had been determined a long time ago, but Zeng Zhiwei was a temporary "firefighter", because it was determined that it was Chen Xinjian who was partnered with Zheng Yutong at the beginning, but Chen Sir was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award again this year with "Detective Chocolate" with Xu Guanwen, according to the regulations of the Academy Awards, it was inconvenient for him to continue to be the emcee, Yu Zheng and Lin Youlun discussed before finding Zeng Zhiwei to take over.

After Zheng Yutong wore high heels, he was a head taller than Zeng Zhiwei, but the two stood together without being abrupt, but they were full of tacit understanding.

Lin Youlun took the microphone and explained: "In the future, I will continue to serve as the chairman of the Academy Awards, responsible for the organization and preparation of the entire Academy Awards, and the addition of the position of executive chairman is mainly because during this time, many people have asked me about the results of the Academy Awards, and many of them have a good relationship with me, and then I told them that I don't know the results of the awards, but they don't believe it." In the future, with the executive chairman, the results of the awards will only go through his hands, so that everyone will not have to ask me about the results of the awards in the future, and I will not have to be as difficult as this year. ”

Lin Youlun did not put gold on his face from the aspect of improving the fairness of the Academy Awards, but used such a very life-like reason, which is indeed a feeling. The video of his interview was repeated in the hall before the official start of the award ceremony, which made many artists sitting in the audience feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, this is also a gentle warning, once the atmosphere of inquiring about the results of the award in advance spreads, it will even lead to a series of negative speculation about the black-box operation, and even more will affect the public's trust in the authority of the Academy Awards, so Lin Youlun thought of using this method to give all the first entry a preventive shot.

Lin Youlun only roughly told Zhang Manyu before that "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" would not return empty-handed, but he didn't say what award he won, which made Er Dongsheng nervous from the beginning.

After an opening cabaret performance, the first award was announced, and "True Lies" won the award for best special effects, a result that had been guessed by everyone for a long time.

In fact, the 5 films shortlisted for this award, the special effects production is all from Lin Youlun's Aurora Company, and the Hong Kong media even joked that this award has been "prepared for himself" by Lin Youlun since its establishment.

Immediately after the award of Best Film Song, Best Film Score, Best Action Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing, "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" got off to a good start in the first nomination award, and the film's art director Huang Renkui took the stage to receive a trophy.

And when awarding the best cinematography, the first big upset at this year's awards ceremony broke out, the winner was actually a ghost, and then he also had a very authentic Chinese name called Du Kefeng, and the movie he won the award was also quite heavy, the name was "Old Lady Enough". The iron triangle in the future Wang Jiawei's movie has already shown his strength in photography at this time, of course, everyone still only regards him as an upset dark horse, and they don't realize that this guy will frequently appear on the podium of the Academy Awards in the future.

When it was time for the best screenwriter to be awarded, Er Dongsheng, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly became nervous, holding the armrests of the seat with both hands, and staring at the envelope in the hand of the award presenter Huang Baiming motionlessly.

"There's something special about this winner's name." Huang Baiming opened the envelope and glanced at it, and said to himself.

Er Dongsheng only felt that the blood was rushing to the top of his head, he felt that Huang Baiming was talking about himself, just when he was about to stand up and accept the award, Huang Baiming loudly announced that the winner was Qiu Dai Anping of "Underground Love", Er Dongsheng's face turned pale, and when the surrounding remembered the applause, his face returned a little blood.

Qin Pei comforted beside him and said, "It's okay, there is still a chance in the future!" ”

When the award presenter for Best Supporting Actor called out his name, Qin Pei couldn't believe his ears, he originally played a supporting role in "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" in order to strengthen his younger brother as a director, this unintentional move won a trophy for him.

Er Dongsheng was happy for his brother at the same time, but he was a little faintly uneasy, "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" has won two awards so far, except for the best screenwriter who is empty, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest, according to the convention of "sharing the cake" at the Academy Awards, the two heavyweight awards of best director and best picture will probably not fall on his head again.

Qin Pei came down from the stage with the trophy on his face full of joy, but he didn't notice the melancholy between his younger brother's eyebrows, after the Best Supporting Actor, the highlight of the awards ceremony was the highlight of the awards ceremony: Best Actor and Actress.

The competition for this year's actor is not bad, and the Academy Awards have only been held for a total of 6 sessions this year, including three with the title of Golden Statue Actor, the first actor Xu Guanwen, the third actor Liang Jiahui and the fourth actor Li Xiuxian. Then there is Zhai Long, who has not won the Academy Award but just won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award last year, Zhou Runfa, who has been shortlisted for three consecutive years, plus a new entrant Liang Chaowei who has just emerged at this time, such a shortlisted lineup can be called luxurious, of course, the fierceness of the competition can be imagined.

Liang Chaowei is the one who attaches the most importance to this award in the sixth entry, at this time he is not the Wei Zai who won the award in later generations, he was shortlisted for the first time, and his heart was full of expectations; And the most light to win the award is Zhou Yanfa, he returned empty-handed in the first two years, and this year he didn't expect to win the award at all, and he rushed back from Japan when the award was presented, and he didn't even have time to change his dress, he entered the venue like a little brother in the garage, and he was not even embarrassed to go on the red carpet.

This time it happened to be Lin Youlun and the last actor Zheng Zeshi partnered to present the award, Zheng Zeshi opened the envelope and unfolded it to Lin Youlun to take a look, Lin Youlun then leaned in front of the microphone and said: "I have waited for three years, just to wait for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove that I am amazing, I want to tell the family that what I lost must be brought back...... The six finalists in the audience, if any of you remember that you said this line in the movie, please come to the stage to accept the award! ”

For a while, the eyes of the audience were focused on Zhou Yanfa's face, because the line that Lin Youlun said just now was the classic confession of Xiao Ma in "The True Color of Heroes". Last year's "True Colors of Heroes" was a big hit, and many people still remember this line.

has been nominated for Best Actor for three times, and now he has finally got back the actor crown he lost the first two times, isn't this movie line a true portrayal of Zhou Yunfa's heart at the moment?
