Liu Zhenwei didn't quite understand what Wang Jiawei meant at first, but when his eyes fell on the name that was the last in the list of Best Actor Award finalists, he immediately figured out everything.

Liang Jiahui, who was shortlisted for "92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses", Zeng Zhiwei, who was shortlisted for "A Tale of Two Cities", Cheng Long, who was shortlisted for "Police Story 3 Super Police", and Zhou Xingchi, who was shortlisted for "The King of Comedy", each has a lot of fame, and they are all powerful, but these four people are not as good as the last person who brings everyone's surprise and shock.

"The Legend of the Blue River: The Anti-Flying Group Storm", Xiang Huaqiang!

"The Legend of Lei Luo", which was released in 91, was a box office hit, and at the 92 Academy Awards, Liu Dehua sat on the throne of the Golden Statue actor with this movie, Xiang Huaqiang invested in this movie It can be said that he has gained fame and fortune, after tasting the sweetness, he has successively invested in the filming of many movies of the same type, "The Legend of the Blue River: The Anti-Flying Group" is one of them.

Although the director is still Liu Yuchang, this "The Legend of the Blue River" was obviously not filmed well, the atmosphere of that era was not brought out at all, and the plot was old-fashioned and haphazard, at most it can only be regarded as a passing work.

Saying that Xiang Huaqiang is the protagonist of "The Legend of Lanjiang: The Anti-Flying Group" is actually a bit of a shame, because the name of this movie seems to be about the deeds of Lanjiang, but in fact, the focus of the plot is on Ah Fei played by Zhang Yurong, and Xiang Huaqiang, who should have been the first protagonist, only played a foil auxiliary role.

Such an arrangement is not to be low-key to Xiang Huaqiang, but out of commercial considerations, because Zhang Rongrong's appeal in the film market is definitely much stronger than Xiang Xianghuaqiang.

And because of that. "The Legend of Lan Jiang: The Anti-Flying Group" only talks about a passage in Lan Jiang's life. is not like "The Legend of Lei Luo" from Lei Luo joining the police to making a fortune to leaving Hong Kong. It's not a real hero movie, at most it's a police story or a flying boy story.

But it is also a bit unfortunate to say that Xiang Huaqiang is not the protagonist of "The Legend of Lanjiang: The Anti-Flying Group", because the movie is indeed about Lanjiang, and Zhang Yurong, who everyone thinks is the protagonist, is the second time to play "A Fei" after "The True Story of A Fei", however, this Ah Fei in "The Legend of Blue River: The Anti-Flying Group" is more aggressive than Ah Fei in "The True Story of A Fei", and he has to fight and kill at every turn, without the lazy and lazy taste in Wang Jiawei's movie. Although Zhang Yurong's performance is really good, it is not up to the level of being shortlisted for the Academy Awards, but Xiang Huaqiang, who does not have many scenes, plays a detective with a clear eye, which is very good, although it is inconsistent with the real character of the legendary character prototype Lan Gang, but for a non-professional actor like Xiang Huaqiang, it is already very good, and he is fully qualified to be shortlisted for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards.

After the announcement of this list of shortlisted nominees, there was a lot of discussion in the media, and the other four actors who won the Best Actor award. It is true that as Wang Jiawei said, I feel very depressed.

It was a joy to be shortlisted for the Academy Awards. But because Xiang Huaqiang was also shortlisted for this award, the actor position suddenly became hot.

Among the four finalists, except for Liang Jiahui, who has already won the Academy Award for Best Actor, Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, and Zeng Zhiwei have not won this award.

Zeng Zhiwei was shortlisted for the Academy Awards for the first time this year, originally according to normal history, "A Tale of Two Cities" should have participated in last year's Academy Awards, but because during the filming of "A Tale of Two Cities", director Chen Kexin was asked by Lin Youlun to shoot "Love Call Transfer", and the production and release time was delayed, and he failed to catch up with last year's Academy Awards.

Originally, Zeng Zhiwei felt that his hope of winning the award this year was quite big, and he even turned down the invitation of the emcee of the Academy Awards, because if he became the emcee, it would be a little unreasonable for him to win the award later.

And now, Zeng Zhiwei's hopes can be said to have been half dashed.

Zhou Xingchi's situation is similar to Zeng Zhiwei, although this is not the first time he has been shortlisted for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, but this time it is the closest to winning the award.

The movie "The King of Comedy" has been filmed a long time ago, and Zhou Xingchi followed Lin Youlun's advice to press this movie until not long ago, in order to participate in the competition for Best Actor at this Academy Awards.

Because of the delay of more than a year, Zhu Xiao, who had the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award, lost the opportunity, because she had already played a role in "Love Call Transfer" before, but in fact, the filming time of "The King of Comedy" was still before "Love Call Transfer".

With such a big sacrifice and Lin Youlun's promise, Zhou Xingchi felt that he already had the right time, place and people this time, and he was about to win the award, but as soon as this shortlist came out, he was dumbfounded.

Xiang Huaqiang was also shortlisted for the Best Actor Award, and it became a question whether to win this award or not.

If you don't take it, so many years of hard work and long-cherished wishes will come to naught, and if you take it, there will be a risk of offending Xiang Huaqiang.

Although Xiang Huaqiang's movie is a ticket game, he has the opportunity to win a Golden Statue Award, and I believe he is still very happy.

Zhou Xingchi helped Xiang Huaqiang make several movies, but he still has this problem in his heart, let alone Cheng Long, who doesn't have much friendship with Xiang Huaqiang, after seeing the shortlist of the Academy Awards, his first thought was whether he was looking for an excuse not to attend this awards ceremony, so as not to offend Xiang Huaqiang.

But if the nomination does not come, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the Academy Award judges, and it is much more difficult for an action actor like Cheng Long to win the Academy Award than other types of actors, and then leave a bad impression on the judges, and the hope of winning the award will be even slimmer in the future.

Then the Hong Kong media will definitely follow suit, Cheng Long has been saying in the media that although he works hard in Hollywood, his heart has always stayed in Hong Kong, but now he doesn't even support Hong Kong people's own movie events, he is undoubtedly slapping himself in the face.

What's more, if Cheng Long didn't come to the award ceremony, Lin Youlun wouldn't be able to say anything about it.

Cheng Long is not afraid of offending the judges of the Academy Awards, nor is he afraid of offending the Hong Kong media, but he is afraid of offending Lin Youlun.

Among the four inductees, Liang Jiahui has the most relaxed mentality, because he has already won the actor once, and although it is good to win it again, it is not a big loss if he can't get it.

The Hong Kong media has not had time to speculate on the mentality of the four finalists at this time, because after the list was announced, many people questioned whether Xiang Huaqiang's nomination was reasonable.

Of course, because of Xiang Huaqiang's identity and the power behind him, everyone dare not say it openly, but some insinuating remarks have been frequently reported in the newspapers, such as black-box operations, threats to judges, bribery, etc., and even the fairness of the Academy Awards has been questioned by many parties.

In this case, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee had to hold a special press conference to clarify the matter, and even Lin Youlun, who has been hidden behind the scenes all these years, appeared at the press conference this time.

At the beginning of the press conference, the host explained and clarified the various misunderstandings about the Academy Awards in the current media, and Chen Jiashang, the rotating chairman of the Academy Awards, also made a speech, and informed the media of the production process of the shortlist of several awards that were more controversial, and then asked questions freely, and all the reporters in the audience raised their hands.

The first person who was allowed to ask questions was still the reporter of "Ming Pao", and the reporters of other media were already surprised by this, who made Lin Youlun the chairman of the "Ming Pao" group, and Feishui would definitely not leave outsiders to work.

Originally, everyone thought that the reporter of "Ming Pao" would not ask any sharp questions, but the reporter's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of Mr. Xiang Huaqiang's nomination for the Best Actor Award this time?"

This question is also what all reporters at the scene want to know.

It is not the first time that Lin Youlun, who was sitting on the stage, has been watched by the eyes of the audience like this, and he has been prepared for this issue for a long time, or he came to the press conference today to specifically talk about this issue.

"I'm glad that someone mentioned this issue at the beginning, this should be the most discussed thing in the media recently, I think if it were a different person, there might not be such a big controversy, many people also asked me privately, in the matter of Mr. Xiang's shortlisting, the judges of the Academy Awards did not implement double standards, my answer is yes."

As soon as Lin Youlun said this, there was a buzzing discussion in the audience.

Lin Youlun actually admitted that Xiang Huaqiang was shortlisted because of the "release" of the judges of the Academy Awards, which is completely different from what everyone thought before.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Youlun had nothing in front of him except a bunch of microphone recorders, there would definitely be people who would have wondered if he had read the wrong script!

Lin Youlun didn't give the audience much time to discuss, he coughed and continued: "I know that everyone will definitely have such a question in their hearts, why should the Academy Awards treat Mr. Xiang specially?" The reason is very simple, the Academy Awards do this because Mr. Xiang's identity is somewhat special, and this special is by no means as everyone thinks, the special I am referring to is to point to Mr. Unlike other finalists, he is not a professional actor, so when the Academy Awards consider including him in the nomination list, it is not measured by the standard of professional actors, the jury believes that as a non-professional actor, Mr. Xiang's performance in "The Legend of the Blue River: The Anti-Flying Group" can be nominated this time, Although the judging criteria are different, I think the fairness can stand the test of time!
