Chapter 354. The brilliance of the star!

On the stage. As the host, Liu Qingyun, the dark horse prince, announced with a smile: "Everyone, pay attention, the main event is on!" ”

This reminder immediately mobilized everyone's minds and looked at the stage with antichandness.

Liu Qingyun's face became solemn. said: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Er Dongsheng, Chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, to come to the stage to present us with the Best Screenplay Award!" ”

"Best Screenplay!"

"I've been waiting for it, it's finally here!"

"I don't know who will live the honor of gold medal screenwriter this time?"

……

There was a lot of talk under the stage, and it seemed that everyone was looking forward to the award.

As one of the best screenwriters in Hong Kong, the desire for this award is obvious, especially if you want to survive in the demanding world of screenwriters, you have to elevate yourself to the status of a gold medal screenwriter, only then there will be beer, bread will be available, otherwise you don't know how you starved to death.

It is a great honor that Zhou Xingchi, the star of "Journey to the West", was also nominated for the best screenwriter of this year.

At this moment, Zhou Xingchi, who was nominated for the best screenwriter this time, originally thought that as the king of comedy, he had seen through everything, but at this time he realized that he was still a mortal with the naked eye, and his thirst for honor was no different from ordinary people, and his mood began to become excited and nervous.

As Yin Tianyou, who knew him better, looked at Zhou Xingchi's very unnatural expression and eyes, and understood what this guy was thinking.

On the stage, Er Dongsheng, chairman of the Academy Awards, as the guest of honor, stood in the center, quite imposing.

After all, it is the leader of Hong Kong's popularity today. Although he was born as an actor, he has made a name for himself in the director world. The year before last, he relied on a "I Am a Passerby", and won countless praises. Last year, a remake of "The Sword of the Third Young Master" became a classic, allowing all people in the Chinese film industry to realize what kind of character he Er Dongsheng is.

has made such achievements in the film industry, and served as the chairman of the Academy Awards, the soft and hard power is just, so Er Dongsheng's aura is not ordinarily big, and standing on the stage at this moment is a little arrogant.

Silently glancing at the audience below the stage, Er Dongsheng began to say: "We didn't pay attention to the value of screenwriting before, and we always felt that with a good director and good actors, we could be recognized by everyone. But when a good screenwriter came out, we realized that a good script was so important, hehe, this screenwriter is known to everyone, I won't say more, come on, big screen! ”

As the words landed. Er Dongsheng glanced at everyone with a smile, and the white hair on his sideburns felt a little chic.

This time, the finalists are: Xu Zheng's "Print"; Chen Jiashang's "East Wind Breaks"; Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West", and Chen Zhengdao's "Master of Memory".

It can be said that these four movies have their own characteristics.

Xu Zheng's "Lost in India" takes the route of a series of comedies, and each section is designed in a very mainland comedy style in terms of screenwriting. There is a touching connotation in the humor;

Not to mention Chen Jiashang's "East Wind Breaking", which is based on the background of the Japanese invasion of China and the fall of Hong Kong. It reveals the cruel life of Hong Kong people in that era, and during this special historical period. the love story of two men and a woman;

As a filmmaker, Chow Xingchi is a representative of Hong Kong comedy and has dabbled in the screenwriting of many films. The "Journey to the West" he wrote is, in a sense, a concrete demonstration of his talent in screenwriting. It's just that Hong Kong people don't seem to like him very much. In addition to "Kung Fu", which has won the Academy Awards, most of his works have been labeled as entertainment works, making it impossible to win the Academy Awards.

As for "Master of Memory" written by Chen Zhengdao, it is the same as the "Hypnosis Master" he filmed before, but most of the credit for that "Hypnosis Master" was snatched away by Xu Zheng, which makes people wonder what else he can make without Xu Zheng. This time, Chen Zhengdao wrote and directed this drama very carefully, just to tell everyone that he Chen Zhengdao is a powerful faction. In short, the story of this play makes people feel sad and then burst into tears, and the theme of the story is even more profound and reflective, so the competitiveness is also very strong.

In the face of such four super movies, in the face of these four screenwriters who are like stars. At this moment, it is necessary to decide who is the final winner, and everyone can't help but hold their breath and wait and see.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with great hope, Er Dongsheng had an indescribable satisfaction, he no longer sold his guanzi and hung his appetite, and raised his voice and said: "Now I announce that the winner of the 4th Best Screenplay Award is ......" Er Dongsheng looked at Zhou Xingchi, nodded slightly and shouted: ""Journey to the West" Zhou Xingchi! The reason for the award is that it has created a new starting point after "Journey to the West", which gives people a shock to their hearts. At the same time, it also created a new trend of magic movies! At the same time, he is also the first comedy king in Hong Kong to win the Best Screenplay in Hong Kong! We welcome him! ”

Crash. Applause erupted.

The king of comedy turned into a golden statue screenwriter, absolutely enough gimmick! Enough strength!!

Zhou Xingchi was still in a daze. The old monster Xu Xu next to him kicked him, "I'll pick, don't stand up yet, and drag it like this when you become the best screenwriter?!" ”

Zhou Xingchi hurriedly stood up, bowed to everyone, and then stepped directly onto the stage.

At that moment, he felt that his heart was beating fast, and he didn't know how he walked up, until he came on stage and shook hands with Er Dongsheng. Only then did I calm down a little.

"Thank you! Thank you! After Zhou Xingchi shook hands with Er Dongsheng, and then took the trophy for Best Screenplay at the first Academy Awards he won in Hong Kong, he was inexplicably excited.

I saw that he couldn't help but kiss the trophy fiercely, and then said loudly: "Originally, I thought I wouldn't be so excited, but the fact is that at this moment, I want to jump up excitedly......"

Hearing Zhou Xingchi say it so interestingly, people would laugh heartily.

"Let's be honest. I didn't expect to win this award, although I thought about what I should say when I actually won the award, and I memorized a long part of the speech, but now I forgot all about it! ”

"Hahaha!" The people laughed again.

"According to the rules, I still have to thank you first. Thank you to your colleagues in the company. Thank you to the crew of "Journey to the West" and thank my family. Thank you for your support and help, thank you! ”

After a few more polite words. Zhou Xingchi and the others paused for applause and began to get to the point.

"Since I won the Best Screenplay this time, I feel like I should make a little contribution to the screenwriting scene in Hong Kong," he said. Chairman Er Dongsheng also said before that screenwriting is so important to a movie. However, because our popular directors in Hong Kong are part-time, both directors and screenwriters, and some even directly star, many screenwriters who really make a living by writing scripts have become more and more difficult to live. ”

"Everyone thinks that the world of screenwriters is whimsical and cranky, but who knows how hard and tired real screenwriters are? For a script. They may stay up all night thinking about a passage, and they may spend hours tinkering with a single line. Staying up late is their daily routine, climbing lattices is their professional habit, and various diseases are their daily and rest partners...... They are so hard, so tired, but they get so few opportunities, and the rewards they get are so pitiful, so I want to ask. Why?! ”

Zhou Xingchi's questioning made everyone ponder.

The habitual way of making movies in Hong Kong has always made everyone ignore or ignore the importance of screenwriting.

But now Zhou Xingchi's words have reminded everyone that screenwriting is very important. Survival is hard.

"So here, I'm a director, I'm an executive producer. As a dictatorship and being scolded as a dictatorship, I appeal to everyone. Please give the screenwriters a little more care and help, so that they can have more energy to create better works! ”

Zhou Xingchi's words were very heavy. So much so that there was no sound at the scene for a moment, and everyone seemed to be thinking about something.

It's really funny to say, Zhou Xingchi's reputation in the Hong Kong film industry is really not very good, he has offended many people, and many people are on the wrong path, because he likes to overstep his authority and like to point fingers when filming, so he is called a dictator, but he is such a person, but at the moment he is shouting for leaving a little space for the screenwriter.

Just when everyone was stunned, suddenly, a person cheered loudly, "Good! ”

I saw Yin Tianyou stand up and echo Zhou Xingchi and said: "Senior Zhou said it is really good, thought-provoking. I've been thinking about this for a long time, because in Korea, the status of screenwriters is very high, but when I came here, I found that the status of screenwriters here is not very high. This situation makes me scratch my head, but in order to reveal the answer to Senior Zhou's words just now, it turns out that we despise ourselves and the profession of screenwriter. Therefore, we Tianyi Media have decided to formally set up a screenwriting department from today to do our best to cultivate screenwriters. Here, I, Yin Tianyou, swear that I will never break my word! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar.

No one would have thought that Yin Tianyou would suddenly come to such a hand. unexpectedly set up a screenwriting department directly at the Academy Awards ceremony, and vowed to use the best conditions to cultivate excellent screenwriting talents.

What does that mean?

Compassion?

Or poaching people on the spot?

Isn't it just self-promotion?!

In any case, I am afraid that the outstanding screenwriters of the entire Chinese film industry will flock to Tianyi Media and be grateful to Yin Tianyou himself.

This trick is really high, too high!

Some entertainment tycoons who have always been wary of Yin Tianyou have narrowed their eyes, and secretly muttered in their hearts, "This Yin Tianyou is simply a guy who does everything, and he actually took the opportunity to win over the screenwriter force, I am afraid that the entire screenwriting industry in the film industry will be influenced by him in the future." ”

It's not just them. Anyone with brains and insight has thought of this, and they have to admire Yin Tianyou.

Being able to be a "pervasive" person is really talented.

In fact, Yin Tianyou is like this, just to create a sense of oppression for everyone: You don't pay attention to screenwriters, I do! Let's see who of us will suffer in the future.

It can be said that Yin Tianyou's trick was used very cleverly, and with the help of Zhou Xingchi's words, he quietly promoted the reform of the Chinese film screenwriting industry.

After awarding the best screenwriter, Liu Qingyun, who had experienced the last ceremony and already knew how to control the rhythm of the ceremony, announced: "Okay, everyone relax for the time being. Now please enjoy the song "Unique"! ”

As soon as Liu Qingyun's voice fell, Joey Yung, the most popular sister in the Hong Kong music scene, came on the stage, and her fellow junior brother walked to the microphone with a guitar, accompanied by a beautiful tune, Joey Yung's voice instantly spread all over the world.

It is said that Joey Yung can also be regarded as a diva-level figure among Hong Kong local singers, but after losing in "I Am a Singer" in the mainland last year, he was PK in the first game, so that some rumors came out. But fortunately, Joey Yung has experienced strong winds and waves, and her psychological quality is particularly good, so she survived, and through her own efforts, she became popular again with this song "Unique".

The organizing committee of the Academy Awards invited her to perform, which also meant encouraging local artists, telling everyone that even if they fail, don't give up, as long as they experience wind and rain, they will definitely be able to see the rainbow.

All along, the Hong Kong music scene and Hong Kong movies are going downhill, especially after the Cantonese pop, to the current Chinese era, so many Hong Kong singers have begun to change to sing Chinese songs, Hong Kong is too small, there are few listeners, even if your Cantonese songs are sung well, you can't expand the influence.

As the number one figure in the world music scene, Yin Tianyou is very clear about these, and even the reason why Yin Tianyou wants to come to China from South Korea to develop is also the reason for this similar to the difficulty of Hong Kong singers, South Korea is also very small, you must go out, and the best development momentum of the entertainment industry is undoubtedly Chinese mainland.

Maybe in a few years, even those European and American singers will come here to beg for food.

Even Yin Tianyou has this kind of speculation.

There are fewer and fewer songs of the genre created in Hong Kong, and even fewer are even more good, and in Yin Tianyou's opinion. This song "Unique" is simply the best of the best, it can be seen that this diva Joey Yung still has a certain strength, and the previous defeat in "I Am a Singer" may be just a bad mentality, or bad luck.

It seems that there are many people who have the same idea as Yin Tianyou, so when Joey Yung finished singing, he received extremely warm applause.

Of course, these applause are somewhat insignificant compared to the applause Yin Tianyou received before. After all, Yin Tianyou is the real king of Asia! (To be continued.) )
