Chapter 358. Last stop!

Speaking of Johnny To, Hong Kong people all give a thumbs up, after all, Johnny To's dark police and bandit theme has become a flagpole for Hong Kong movies, as long as you like Hong Kong movies, there is no one who doesn't like him.

However, in recent years, Johnny To has been very depressed, although the movies he shot are very good, they can only be released in Hong Kong, and when they are released in the mainland, they have to be edited and edited, and all his ideas are cut out. So much so that his "Iron Triangle", "Dragon City Years", "Drug War" and other noir movies had to comply with the rules of the mainland and rearrange them, and the finale was all bad guys who raised their hands and surrendered, or surrendered directly, which made To Qifeng very sad.

In order to adapt to the mainland market, he also tried to transform and shoot some romance films, such as "High Altitude Love", as well as "Single Men and Women", "Gorgeous Office Workers", etc., but unfortunately these movies are not popular, which makes Lao Du's position very embarrassing.

Now, Lao Du can be regarded as having figured it out, his old job is to shoot this kind of black theme, and he loses himself in order to please the mainland, and the result will only outweigh the losses. So he made a comeback this time and filmed the last part of his trilogy, and sure enough, the response to the work was strong, and it was nominated for several Academy Awards in one fell swoop.

It can be said that Johnny To is sick this time, and he is bound to be ashamed and win the Best Director at the Academy Awards, and his voice is also the highest.

Just when everyone thought that the result was decided and there was no suspense, the fat man Wang Jing, who was the guest of honor, announced: "The winner of the best director of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards is Tsui Hark's "Journey to the West"! ”

How can it be?!

Yin Tianyou had a big question mark in his heart.

Everyone was surprised.

"Journey to the West" is a mainland co-production after all, not a pure Hong Kong film, and a pure Hong Kong film loses to a co-production, isn't it weird? You know, this is the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, not the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers-

At this moment, the happiest and most excited person is undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi, who is his partner, except for Xu Laowei. Zhou Xingchi has always missed the Academy Awards. didn't expect the movies he participated in to win awards in a row, how could this not surprise him?

The drama "Journey to the West" is a masterpiece of their bloodletting, and they paid a lot of money to win the award, and the combination of strong and powerful forces has reached such a state. Now, finally, a heavyweight award has been reaped.

At this moment, this is the most controversial and characterful filmmaker in Hong Kong, and it is glorious to receive everyone's congratulations. I was extremely excited in my heart, and I almost cried with joy.

The great director Tsui Hark is also knowledgeable, and as soon as he came on stage, he first thanked Zhou Xingchi, saying how he supported his work, and if he used the words of the Tao, it was how to be righteous enough, willing to stick a knife in his ribs and stick a knife in Bo Yuntian, etc.

Zhou Xingchi was almost embarrassed when he said this, he has always had a poor interpersonal relationship, and it was the first time he was praised by others, and it was on such a grand occasion.

Immediately after that, Tsui Hark said some words of thanks and hard work. It was much the same as the previous acceptance speech, and then he bowed and walked off the stage.

For Tsui Hark, he would rather drink more red wine with his friends to celebrate than waste time on stage.

"Although Director Xu's speech is simple, it is very reasonable, don't slack off if you win the award, work harder, and don't feel depressed if you don't get the award, after all, there is no one this year. There's next year! Liu Qingyun said very generously: "If there is no next year, then continue, I believe, as long as everyone works hard." Do your job well, then you will definitely have a harvest! ”

Mao Shunyun also nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone can succeed, but sometimes luck is not very good!" She said and posed for a tender template, made a distressed look and said, "Just like me." You can see, I have the symbol of 'actress' all over my body, but I can't even make a movie, alas, this luck, it's really too troublesome! ”

"Haha, if you can get the 'Best Actress', then I'll get the 'Best Actor'!" Liu Qingyun laughed exaggeratedly, and then, suddenly smiled, looked at Yin Tianyou under the stage, and said: "FIVE, if I remember well, you participated in the Academy Awards for the first time, and you won the actor at once, it seems that I want to ask you for advice, how can I play the role well?" ”

Yin Tianyou was unafraid that he would ask himself, touched his chin and was silent for a while, and said: "I think you must first have a script that suits you, and then you can consider your acting skills!" ”

"Ha, well said! I just think my acting skills are good enough, but the script is too bad! Liu Qingyun said with a smile, "So whether a drama is good or not." The script and the actors are all very important, and only in this way can it be called the best movie! ”

Needless to say, the following awards must be the "Best Film at the Academy Awards" with the highest gold content!

If we talk about the previous series of awards. What is the best photography. Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress are all for a certain individual, giving honors; So the best movie now is aimed at the film company that shot the film.

Therefore. The bosses of all film companies are excited, because this is a super gold medal to test the strength of a company, as long as your company wins the "Best Film" award, it proves that your company has unlimited potential and unlimited prospects.

At this moment. Whether it is the nominated Hong Kong Galaxy Pictures, Emperor Entertainment, or the mainland's Wanda, Guangguang, and Yin Tianyou's Tianyi Media, all the bigwigs can't help but get nervous, even the scheming and always calm Huayi Wang bigwigs are a little nervous.

Originally, Huayi Brothers, as the pillar of the Chinese film industry, has been under a lot of pressure in recent years, with Wanda, a big crocodile in front and light in the back, Tianyi, these wolf-like little brothers, made Huayi Brothers have to be nervous all the time, for fear of being pressed down.

Where there is competition, there is motivation.

Huayi is no exception, and under external pressure, it hopes to be able to take the lead in this last award.

"Alright. I see that everyone is also in a hurry, and they all want to know who will win the best movie this year, so let's invite the award presenter, Ms. Fang Yihua of Hong Kong TVB, to present the award to everyone! ”

With the words, I saw Ms. Fang Yihua, who was once beautiful, supported by two beauties and walked onto the stage.

As a banner witnessing the prosperity of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Fang Yihua and her husband, Mr. Run Run Shaw, can be said to be the elders of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry. Now that Old Man Shao is gone, only Ms. Fang Yihua is left alone to support Wireless and Shaw Brothers, so her weight is definitely well-known in the circle.

What does it mean to be a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go?

Ms. Fang Yihua has written this new chapter with her practical actions.

Although he was supported when he came to the stage. But after getting on the stage, Fang Yihua waved his hand to let the person next to him go down, and he stood alone on the stage with his waist straight. seems to be telling everyone that she is not old, she can still walk and stand firmly.

And the first thing she said when she came up was: "I never thought that I would be the guest of honor for the last award, as a woman." My favorite thing to do is to work behind the scenes, not to stand in front of me, especially when I'm not used to this kind of occasion – but today is different, it's a big day, and I feel like I have to step up and witness the birth of the best film in this Chinese film festival. ”

Fang Yihua's simple words made everyone moved. From her words, you can hear her support and efforts for Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and her love and worries about Hong Kong movies.

It is because of my love for Hong Kong. loves movies, so she is so old that she doesn't care about her body, and she personally goes on stage to present the award to the best movie winner.

This world is like this, there is a kind of not earth-shattering, but obscure, hidden behind Mr. Shao for decades, she never thought of infinite scenery, just do her duty to do her own business, do a good job in TVB, and do a good job in Shaw Brothers Film Company. But. Now that the old man is gone, she can only stand up and come out, using her own energy. to make a contribution to the Hong Kong Film Awards.

At this time, Fang Yihua said: "In fact, many years ago, my old man and I participated in this kind of event, when Hong Kong films were in a prosperous period, and each of the shortlisted film works can be called a masterpiece. I still remember that director Er Dongsheng was still an actor of Shaw Brothers at that time - right? β€œ

Fang Yihua asked Er Dongsheng, chairman of the Academy Awards.

Face the elderly. Er Dongsheng didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly stood up and nodded: "Of course, I am a member of the Shaw Clan, and I will never forget it." β€œ

After a pause, he said: "When I first joined Shaw Brothers, I witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of Hong Kong films, and watching movies was the greatest pleasure of Hong Kong people at that time, as if every star was extremely respected. Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, the film industry is the biggest economic pillar of Hong Kong, the film industry is full of talents, and the Shaw Brothers is even more prominent, dominating Hong Kongβ€”β€”"

Hearing Er Dongsheng say this, Fang Yihua's face was full of remembrance, and he sighed: "Looking back, seeing these current movies, compared with the previous movies, I found that although Hong Kong movies are no longer brilliant, they are endless, but they are endless, especially after the integration with mainland films, they have rejuvenated themselves, why is this happening, because there are many excellent filmmakers here, and there are some excellent rising stars......

"As a Hong Kong person, I think that my help for Hong Kong films is not enough, and I still can't do it in many places, but I promise you that in my future work, I will work hard to contribute to Hong Kong films, so that this pride of Hong Kong will continue to be brilliant, and let our beautiful Chinese films shine all over the world!"

Open your heart and try to shout.

There is no doubt that Fang Yihua's words have been recognized by everyone, so everyone applauded "Pala...... Pala, Pala, La, La", which can be regarded as a kind of respect for her old man.

In any case, even if Shaw Brothers is no longer brilliant and TVB no longer dominates Hong Kong, in the decades that Fang Yihua has been at the helm of Hong Kong entertainment, after all, he has made respectable contributions to Hong Kong and the entertainment industry.

In particular, Fang Yihua clearly sees that the way out for Hong Kong in the future lies in the mainland, the rise of mainland films, and the take-off of Greater China's entertainment industry.

Hong Kong can no longer rest on its laurels, nor can it be fortunate to think about how Hong Kong movies are doing, but must open its mind and integrate into the embrace of the circle of Greater China.

"Okay, I won't be verbose anymore, otherwise it will delay everyone's time, let's get down to business and start awarding this year's Best Film Awards, please look at the big screen below!"

As Fang Yihua's voice landed, I saw several films appear on the big screen, namely: "Mong Kok Dawn", "Yang Guifei", "Little Luck", "The Dragon Chair of the Underworld", and "Journey to the West", "Touching the Golden Captain" and so on.

It can be said that this time the nomination for the best film is the most, and the competition is also the most fierce, among which "Yang Guifei" is absolute cannon fodder, it is already very good to be nominated, and I don't know how much money the mainland bigwigs who invested in this drama donated to the organizing committee for this. "Little Luck" was also directly passed, because the pattern was too small, and it was filmed like a documentary, so who could watch it.

Calculated in this way, there are only four large markets left -

"Dawn in Mong Kok".

"The Dragon Chair of the Underworld".

"Journey to the West".

"Touching the Golden Captain".

What's funny is that the first two dramas are almost all local Hong Kong films, and the last two dramas are co-productions, and both have Yin Tianyou involved.

In other words, the film that Yin Tianyou himself invested in shooting is most likely to win the best picture. But because of this, his two plays are also easy to divert votes.

That is to say, people who like Yin Tianyou originally wanted to vote for "Journey to the West", but in the end they voted for "Touching the Golden Captain", and the votes are not concentrated, and it is easy to have accidents.

Besides, these dramas are actually the big winners tonight, whether it is "Dawn in Mong Kok", "The Dragon Chair of the Underworld", or "Journey to the West" and "Touching the Golden Captain". have won several Academy awards.

But in the end, who will win the last prize and become the "king of kings" will be revealed immediately.

Now that the nominations for several dramas have come out, Yoon Tianyou was sweating in the center, and Park Zhenying next to him comforted him: "FIVE, don't get excited, you have a good chance of winning this time, in fact, this time it is the Academy Awards, if it was South Korea's Blue Dragon Award and Daejong Award, you would have won a long time ago!" ”

"Yes, Brother God, your movie is so good, if it were in Korea, it would have won just by your popularity." Zheng Xiujing comforted him.

Of course, Yin Tianyou understood their thoughts, and was grateful in his heart, and shook Zheng Xiujing's little hand, but found that this girl's hands were already sweaty, and she looked even more nervous than herself, and she couldn't help but feel funny.

And at this moment, throughout the awards ceremony, everyone began to talk about it, waiting for the best movie in their minds to be revealed - (to be continued.) )
