Chapter 357. Best Director!

With Yin Tianyou showing great power and winning the Academy Award actor crown, the entire awards ceremony has reached the final stage.

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei, who temporarily served as the emcee on the stage, went down and was replaced by Mao Shunjun on stage.

Mao Shunjun is also a famous actress in Hong Kong, the most famous is his relationship with his brother Leslie Cheung. But unfortunately, this relationship ended without a problem. And Mao Shunyun's acting career did not develop very smoothly, so that in the later stage, he mainly starred in comedies, and tried to go crazy in the play, without the pity of Sister Lin before.

If Wu Junru is Hong Kong's laughing aunt, then Mao Shunjun is a barbarian woman.

Now, Mao Shunjun occasionally appears in movies, after all, she is old and yellow, and she is no longer suitable to play any beauties on the screen, and she recently appeared on the screen as a guest performance in Zhang Jiahui's "The Exorcist of Tuodi". plays a vicious woman in the play, in order to win back her husband, she forced the mistress to have a baby, although the scene is small, but it is very exciting.

In fact, Mao Shunjun also has strong hosting skills, so Er Dongsheng, chairman of the Academy Awards, invited her to be the temporary female emcee of this year's awards ceremony.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun and Mao Shunyun, the male and female partners, have begun to talk on stage.

"Maomao, do you like makeup?" Liu Qingyun asked seriously.

"Joke, Miss Ben has always been a natural beauty, do you still need makeup?" Mao Shunjun pushed his new hair and made a "I am beautiful" expression. It made everyone laugh non-stop.

Immediately afterwards, Mao Shunjun said: "It's just a pity that I'm older now, and my appearance is also old, and I occasionally need a little touching!" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Qingyun, a look that you understand.

Liu Qingyun's "makeup" can be said to be something in the words, and then extended to the film art and art, Mao Shunjun let go of his mood and talked with him, and finally the awards began.

This Best Art Award may seem unimportant, but for a movie, it can be said to be very crucial. If you compare the movie to a woman. Then the art and art work is to dress her up beautifully, including the costumes, sets, and related shooting backgrounds. It must be meticulous and in place, and there can be no mistakes.

And this time, I was fortunate to be nominated for Best Art Direction at a very high level, and in the end, I was picked up by the mainland's "Yang Guifei".

I remember that this play also won the Best Costume Award before. It's only natural to win Best Art Direction again, after all, art and costumes are all together.

"Yang Guifei" won two less important awards, which also proves that the mainland has invested a lot of money in big dramas, after all, these two awards have to be completed with a lot of money. This also shows the lack of funding for Hong Kong films, which once again proves that only the mainland market is the only way out for Chinese-language films.

The award for the best art director has been completed, and according to the procedures of the award ceremony, it has come to an end.

In order not to be cold and set up a buffer opportunity for the final award, the hosts Liu Qingyun and Mao Shunyun took the stage again to announce. The cabaret show begins.

To be honest, the awards have reached the current situation, the best actor and actress have been released, and the only thing that attracts everyone to watch is the two heavyweight awards of Best Director and Best Film, so everyone is not very interested in the song, and it is no longer as strong as Yin Tianyou and Joey Yung performed before.

But the next song, the one who went up to sing it turned out to be Faye Wong, a diva-level female singer in the mainland.

Faye Wong rarely appears on the stage now, on the one hand, there are constant love scandals, marriage gossip is endless, and she has divorced several times in a row. is now entangled with Nicholas Tse, on the other hand, he has to take care of his daughter, and he is busy writing songs and singing albums. That's why they rarely appear in public.

But after all, she is an Asian diva, and now she appears on stage, which immediately attracts everyone's attention. When her classic song "Flowing Years" came out, whether it was the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, everyone appreciated the charm of the popular female singers in Asia. and the taste of mainland pop songs.

It also made the originally deserted scene, the yawning scene a little warmed up a lot.

Finally, the song and dance are over.

The tension on the stage was restored, and just as everyone was waiting for the awards to continue, a very discordant voice said: "We all don't like advertising, but we have to advertise it, OK, here's the advertising time, everyone must not go away, come back more exciting!" ”

Damn, everyone couldn't help but roar.

Especially those directors who are looking forward to the final awards, they are even more frenzied. Deep down, I hate advertising.

Host Liu Qingyun doesn't care about this. After saying that, he walked straight off the stage, and at this time, all the cameras were turned off at the right time, leaving up to 3 minutes for the TV station.

Speaking of this Academy Awards advertising sponsorship fee, there is a story, originally, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee was not ready to accept additional sponsorship from the outside world. After all, this represents the supreme honor of Hong Kong films, which cannot be desecrated, if you keep inserting some trivial **** advertisements, wouldn't it ruin the glorious image of the Academy Awards? !

But TVB, which is the live broadcaster, does not think so. In the words of TVB: "The Academy Awards is a 'non-profit' organization, but our company is a profitable company, we spend a lot of money to buy out the live broadcast, if we don't add advertising, then we will lose a lot, from a business point of view, there is nothing wrong with inserting advertising." ”

So, under the promise of TVB, the advertising sponsors of the Academy Awards were all accepted, and the three-minute advertising time was sold to millions, and its profit TV station was equally divided with the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.

Although it was sold for a large price, as the Academy Awards were weak and the ratings were getting sluggish and low, the profits were getting less and less, and it was difficult to increase the advertising costs.

However, it is very surprising that this year, because of Yin Tianyou, a peerless magic weapon, the ratings broke the record at the beginning. In the next year, we will definitely be able to sell at least 10 million in these three minutes, and those merchants will definitely break the threshold for this.

After all, of course, advertising must be placed at the time of the highest ratings, and the ratings of the Academy Awards are as high as hundreds of millions of people, which is a massive guarantee. And what merchant would not be tempted?!

As soon as three minutes passed, the entire award ceremony suddenly went dark, and I couldn't see the darkness of my five fingers. And just when everyone felt strange, a light came on. I saw Liu Qingyun and Mao Shunyun standing on the stage in a whole row, facing the audience and saying: "The important moment is finally coming!" ”

"yes. There may be a lot of people looking forward to the next awards now! ”

"The next awards are important."

"It's the Best Director Award!"

"What is a director?"

"It's the commander of a play!"

"He is the founder of cinema!"

"So the best director is important!"

"Are you looking forward to it?!"

As soon as the two hosts sang and harmonized, they immediately mobilized the emotions of all the audience.

"Well, I think the audience must be looking forward to it now...... He even scolded us for being too verbose. ”

"Huh. yes, I think I'm quite verbose, too. ”

"There's no way, the program arrangement is like this, we won't have anything to eat if we don't talk about it!"

"Alright. Don't be verbose, now let's invite the award presenter for Best Director, a famous Hong Kong film director, and an eternally happy fat man - Mr. Wang Jing! ”

Wang Jing, why is he?

Yin Tianyou couldn't help but be stunned.

When the fat man Wang came to the stage and walked past him. I didn't forget to wink at him teasingly, the meaning was obvious, I didn't expect it.

Yes, many people didn't expect that Wang Fatzi would become the guest of honor for Best Director, you know, although Wang Jing is very popular in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and has filmed many popular works, but he has never had a chance to win the Academy Awards for a lifetime, and the film is too commercial. A blockbuster is a blockbuster, but you can't win a prize.

Although the fat man laughed at himself in many public places, saying that he didn't care whether he had awards or not, as long as the box office was good, there was still a sour taste.

But now, it's such a guy who didn't have a chance to win the Academy Awards, but he ran up to the Academy Awards for Best Director, which can't help but be jaw-dropping.

In fact, in addition to missing the Academy Awards, Wang Fatzi is also a maverick in the circle. There are a lot of controversial remarks, the most famous is a battle between him and Huang Qiusheng to break off diplomatic relations, as well as the scolding war between him and some people in the circle, which belongs to the kind of people who see things very thoroughly. The kind of people who dare to say and do.

Many Hong Kong people don't like him very much, and think that he likes to praise the stinky feet of the mainland after looking north to China, but Wang Fatzi still goes his own way, is not changed by public opinion, and even often shows his patriotism.

Because of this, many people in Hong Kong don't like him. But in Asia, there are many people who praise him in the Chinese-language film industry, and the movies he has shot are more successful than the last, especially the "Macau Vice" series, which has exceeded 3 billion at the total box office.

Wang Fatzi is such a person, he laughs very fat and, but those who know him know that he is one of the few people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who can give full play to the spirit of entertainment.

As usual, with a smiling appearance, a round face, an ingot's mouth, and a fat man standing on the stage, because he was not too tall, he tiptoed to the host Liu Qingyun's side and said, "Please, can you lower the microphone next time I present the award?" Did I beg you to do it? ”

These words immediately made everyone laugh.

"Okay, don't laugh, let's be serious, it's really an honor for me to be the guest of honor for the best director this time. When I told my wife the good news, she still didn't believe it, saying that I was lying to her, and I said, you still think you are seventeen or eighteen years old, and you are as beautiful as a flower. What's in it if I lie to you? My wife said, in this case, on the day of the award, you brought me to present the award to others, I have been hiding behind you and watching you film, and I have never seen you give awards to others! I was about to faint after hearing this. Isn't that child's play? A high honor like the Academy Awards. Did you say I was allowed to bring my family members with me to present the award? ”

"Allow!"

"Bring my sister-in-law here!"

……

People shouted.

Because everyone knows that Wang Fatzi is very attentive on the surface, and there have been many scandals with female stars such as Qiu Shuzhen, but in terms of family, he is very family-oriented, and even showed up for his daughter to pave the way for her star dream.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "But it's better for her not to come up, why, because she has always hoped that I can win a Best Director Award at the Academy Awards, but unfortunately I am not angry, I have no fate with this award, I am afraid that my wife will come up and hold the Academy Award and refuse to lose her hand......"

"Hahaha!" The crowd all laughed.

Although the fat man Wang Jing was joking, the big guys heard a trace of helplessness and embarrassment from his words.

Yes, what about being a great director in Hong Kong?

What about the success of a commercial film?

Without an Academy Award recognizing you, you'll never be the best director.

On the stage –

The fat man Wang Jing rearranged his lost mood, then took the award envelope, and said loudly while opening it, "I announce that the nominees for the Best Director Award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards areβ€”β€”"

As the words spoke, I saw that on the big screen behind them, four edited movies were played in turn, they were: To Qifeng's "The Dragon Chair of the Underworld", Chen Kexin's "Mong Kok Dawn", Peng Haoxiang's "Little Luck", and Tsui Hark's "Journey to the West".

Originally, this time as the director, Yin Tianyou was also on the nomination shortlist because of "Touching the Golden Captain", but he was temporarily replaced by Er Dongsheng of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, Er Dongsheng thought very simply, Yin Tianyou's two plays have been nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Film, if they are nominated for Best Director at the same time, it will seem that the Academy Awards are their family, too child's play, to give the audience and the media a feeling, it is difficult to be shortlisted for the Academy Awards, and it is definitely worth looking forward to.

Not to mention, his words really convinced the members of the organizing committee, and for all reasons, everyone felt that Yin Tianyou had two shortlisted plays, and the quota was a little bigger, so he should leave some opportunities to others.

Because of this, Yin Tianyou, who directed the play "Touching the Golden Captain" as a director, was not nominated for Best Director. If not, maybe he will really kill all sides.

Yin Tianyou didn't care that he was not nominated for Best Director, because in his opinion, he was still young, and there were many opportunities like this, not to mention that he had already won the actor crown, and the rest, let's look at it.

Among the several dramas that were nominated, Yin Tianyou is most optimistic about the two dramas, namely To Qifeng's "The Dragon Chair of the Underworld", and Tsui Hark's "Journey to the West".

Needless to say, "Journey to the West" Needless to say, Yin Tianyou himself participated in the acting, and he himself thought that this drama was great, Tsui Hark and Zhou Xingchi combined their swords, and they shot the feeling of a magical blockbuster, which is not much better than Hollywood blockbusters. However, "The Dragon Chair of the Triad" seems to be more in line with the appetite of Hong Kong people. (To be continued.) )
