Lin Youlun's answer provides a very reasonable explanation for Xiang Huaqiang's shortlisting for Best Actor, but a new question arises, since the nominees for the Best Actor Award are nominated for the Academy Awards, then whether the double standards will also be implemented when deciding who wins the award is what everyone is most concerned about.

After all, the list of nominees has become a fait accompli, and there will be no changes, but there is still a lot of suspense about who will sit on the throne of the actor in the end.

It is true that many competitions can be divided into professional and amateur groups, with different judging criteria, but the competition between the professional and amateur groups is separated, and there is only one Academy Award for Best Actor.

Although he had violated the rule that one person could only ask one question at the press conference, none of the other reporters in the audience wanted to stand up and ask questions beyond him, and it was clear that they were also concerned about this issue.

"I can tell you very clearly that the Academy Awards is a professional film award, so in the stage of deciding who wins, the judges will implement unified standards to ensure the authority and fairness of the award results!"

Lin Youlun's answer is very simple, and even a little official, but the meaning conveyed in it is interesting enough.

Judging the award with a professional level, then Xiang Huaqiang, who was shortlisted at an amateur level, must have no chance with the award.

Although Lin Youlun didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear.

The reporters in the audience were still digesting the news, Lin Youlun turned sideways and explained a few words to Chen Jiashang, who was sitting on the side, and then stood up and left directly.

As soon as the reporter sitting in the front row saw this, he immediately left his seat and wanted to chase after him. But he was stopped by the on-site staff. I could only watch Lin Youlun leave.

In connection with Lin Youlun just now, he answered two questions from the reporter of "Ming Pao" one after another. Only then did the reporters present react, it turned out that all this was arranged, and the reporter of "Ming Pao" must have been instructed in advance, and then co-starred in a play with Lin Youlun, and everyone was actually deceived by them at the beginning.

Although there is a feeling of being deceived, most reporters think that this press conference is still worth it, at least Lin Youlun responded to everyone's most concerned questions in person.

Except for Lin Youlun, I'm afraid there is no second person who dares to start before the award ceremony starts. It is very straightforward to tell everyone that he has already come to an end when he is nominated, and there is no possibility of winning the award.

Of course, this can only be said by Lin Youlun, and others will have the risk of angering Xiang Huaqiang, which is probably the main reason why Lin Youlun will appear at this press conference today.

In any case, Lin Youlun's answer solved the doubts in many people's hearts, and at the same time relieved the other four shortlisted for the Best Actor Award.

Xiang Huaqiang was given PASS by Lin Youlun, which means that if any of them win the award later, there will be no risk of offending Xiang Huaqiang.

The media reaction to the incident was broadly divided into two groups, one was in favor of the Academy Awards. The other group is skeptical.

Of course, Ni Yu will not miss this opportunity to catch Lin Youlun's "sore feet", on the second day of the press conference held by the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards. He directly published a commentary article in his column, saying that Lin Youlun's so-called authority and justice are only aimed at others, not himself.

"For the attitude of the Academy Awards and someone's reversal, I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao Xiang Huaqiang will feel aggrieved, at least I feel unfair for him, since the implementation of double standards in the shortlisting stage, why do you only implement one standard in the evaluation stage, I think this exposes the very utilitarian mentality of the Academy Awards, I want to please Mr. Xiang, but I also want the final award result to be convincing, wishful thinking is really good!"

"What makes me even more incomprehensible is that someone keeps saying that he wants to ensure that the results of the Academy Awards are fair and just, but this standard is only used to restrain others, and it doesn't work for him, he himself was shortlisted for Best Actor with the standard of an amateur actor, and then won the award as an amateur actor, and now it's really ironic to look back!"

In the early years, Ni Yu often criticized Lin Youlun by name in the newspaper, but after suffering several losses at the hands of Lin Youlun in succession, Ni Yu also became a lot more restrained, that is, he stood up to criticize Lin Youlun, and the words were no longer as gunpowder as before.

But this time, Ni Yu uncharacteristically wrote such a "cannon article", directly aimed at Lin Youlun, and even had some intention of provoking Lin Youlun and Xiang Huaqiang.

As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused quite a stir in Hong Kong society.

Because some of the views in Ni Yu's article are indeed tenable, some people support his article, and of course some people post rebuttals.

"I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao Ni Yu has seriously watched the two movies "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" and "The Legend of the Blue River: The Anti-Flying Group", and even I wonder how many years he hasn't watched the movie seriously, otherwise how could he say such ignorant words? That's right, Mr. Lin can indeed only be regarded as an amateur actor, but this is because his identity determines that he cannot be a professional actor, not that his acting skills are amateur, from this point of view, I really don't think Mr. Lin is an amateur actor, because so far, none of the movies he starred in has been less than 30 million at the box office, if such a result is still said to be an amateur actor, then how many people in Hong Kong dare to say that they are professional actors? ”

"Besides, "Ghost Love", which helped Mr. Lin win the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards, is regarded as the most successful love film in Hong Kong in the late 80s, and that movie not only won the Academy Awards, the United States awarded it the Golden Globe Award, France awarded it the César Award, and the United Kingdom awarded him the Academy of Film Award, does Mr. Ni Yu also question that these awards are cheating?"

The first person to stand up for Lin Youlun was Lin Yanni, who was not particularly keen on things like fighting with people in the newspaper, but Ni Yu did one thing wrong, that is, he shouldn't take out "People and Ghosts" to talk about things.

Lin Yanni likes the movie "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" very much, and after watching this movie, she wrote several essays related to it, which were included in her anthology.

In addition, Lin Yanni has already published an article in "Ming Pao", and she has more or less received some care from Lin Youlun, so she stood up this time.

Before Ni Yu could refute in the newspaper, Li Bihua also began to choke at him.

Li Bihua is not as subtle as Lin Yanni, she not only scolded Ni Yu, but also scolded some of the media.

"When the Academy Awards Organizing Committee didn't express its position, I didn't see anyone standing up for Xiang Huaqiang, someone (Lin Youlun) took this matter down, and then all kinds of people holding their thighs came out, one by one, Mr. Xiang, you really think about Xiang Huaqiang, and you really know Xiang Huaqiang as well, for such a person, I just want to ask you, do you have the courage to ask Xiang Huaqiang in person what he thinks of this matter?"

As soon as Li Bihua said this, Ni Yu, who originally wanted to refute, was also a little hesitant, although he pulled Xiang Huaqiang's tiger skin to attack Lin Youlun, but he was not really sure what Xiang Huaqiang's attitude was towards this matter.

If the handling of this matter is just Lin Youlun's unilateral decision, it will be forgotten, at least he will help Xiang Huaqiang speak, even if Xiang Huaqiang does not appreciate it, he will not offend the other party.

But if Lin Youlun and Xiang Huaqiang have a tacit understanding in this matter, then things are a little bad, in case Xiang Huaqiang himself doesn't want to be in the limelight, and he asks to only be shortlisted and not awarded, then what Ni Yu is doing now is directly going against Xiang Huaqiang.

The most serious possibility is that if Xiang Huaqiang's nomination was obtained after asking Lin Youlun, then everything Lin Youlun said at the press conference would actually help Xiang Huaqiang cover it up.

The more Ni Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was too risky, so he simply borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and the silence did not happen again.

Ni Yu can see the situation clearly, it doesn't mean that other people can see the situation clearly, there are reporters who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they really use this matter to interview Xiang Huaqiang.

Xiang Huaqiang directly ignored the reporter, but Xiang Huaqiang's wife Chen Lan responded for him.

"My husband likes to play some cameo roles in movies, but he never said that he thought he would be shortlisted for the award, so this time he was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Actor, and he and I were very surprised when I received the news, no matter what, we have to thank the Academy Awards, being nominated is a recognition in itself, it doesn't matter whether you win the award or not, and everyone also knows that in my husband's identity, if the Academy Awards really award this award to him, it will be a little inappropriate, because it will make people say, The boss of the film company didn't do it, and ran to compete with the actors for awards, we didn't want to be burdened with such discussions, so Mr. Lin's decision this time, and our husband and wife were very supportive. ”

"Did Mr. Lin discuss your decision at the press conference?" Before Chen Lan got into the car, the reporter asked again.

Chen Lan nodded, "Of course there is discussion, the day before the press conference, we were still together for afternoon tea." ”

"Did Mr. Lin tell you about the shortlisting before?"

Chen Lan was about to get into the car, and when she heard this question, her body stopped again.

"This is definitely not true, Mr. Lin is a very principled person, although we have a good relationship, he will not say that he told us the news in advance." (To be continued......)
