Chapter 133: Winning the Best in a Row
This time, the award presenters were Xu Guanwen and Ye Tong, and the two walked down the steps hand in arm. Of course, before the awards, there are always two paragraphs, Ye Tong glanced at the audience and looked at Xu Guanwen and asked: "Director Xu, many of the shortlisted this time are newcomers!" ”
"Yes, now it's really a lot of newcomers, as the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach!" Xu Guanwen is not only funny on the screen, but also has a lot of comedy cells in life, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
Ye Tong exaggerated a thoughtful look: "By the way, Director Xu, you are a very good screenwriter, which one do you think will win this time?" ”
"This is not good, otherwise, it will offend people!" According to Xu Guanwen's reputation in the film industry, others are afraid of offending him, and it is undoubtedly funny to say this: "Let's take a look at the list of nominees first!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, it seems that the Academy Awards Organizing Committee has spent a lot of effort on this award guest, although Xu Guanwen is now his own boss, he can be regarded as an old courtier of Golden Harvest. The organizing committee may be trying to mediate the conflict.
Clips of several films appeared on the big screen, as well as a rich narration: "Nominated for Best Screenplay at the 7th Academy Awards, Wang Jiawei, "Final Victory"; Shen Xicheng, "Dragon and Tiger"; Xiao Ran, Nan Yan, "Prison Storm"; Xiao Ran, Luo Qirui, "Autumn Fairy Tale"; Xiao Ran, "God of Gamblers......"
Wang Jiawei's "Final Victory" was written before joining the Phantom, but he couldn't complain about him. Xiao Ran didn't have the energy to care about this matter at all now, because he couldn't help but be nervous now. He shouted excitedly in his heart: Oh my God, he can really get three nominations, which is really comparable to Fa Ge's achievements!
Of course, in terms of value, the screenwriter is definitely not as good as the actor. However, for Xiao Ran, what he cares about is not the so-called commercial value, but the real artistic value and the irresistible sense of achievement. For him, perhaps starting a Phantom Company may not be as fulfilling as winning a best director.
At this moment, Fa Ge took a deep look at him, and his eyes were full of understanding smiles. And Lin Qingxia quietly grabbed Xiao Ran's hand, trying to give him more confidence. Of course, Xiao Ran is not without confidence, if any of these three films is placed in 20 years, they will all win the award. However, now that history has changed, he does not dare to rely on history to make decisions.
"Wow, that's amazing." Xu Guanwen exclaimed, his eyes searched for Xiao Ran in the audience, and smiled: "Xiao Ran got three nominations alone, I think this kind of thing is probably something that no screenwriter in Hong Kong can do." ”
"I don't know if it's the last one, but I'm sure it's unprecedented!" Ye Tong glanced at Xiao Ran regretfully, and said with a smile: "No matter whether Xiao Ran wins the award today or not, absolutely no one dares to doubt the title of the first screenwriter, if anyone tries to doubt, then please write three scripts that can be nominated!" ”
"Don't say it again, otherwise, wait a minute, the screenwriters are anxious!" Xu Guanwen made a joke interestingly, then opened the post and stared at it for a moment, and handed it to Ye Tong: "You should read it out!" ”
Xiao Ran's heart beat violently, if he can still take it down today, it will really be a peak. Lin Qingxia's hands conveyed warmth and concern, which made Xiao Ran gradually calm down.
Xiao Ran is really not sure that he can win the award, because film festivals all over the world are very taboo to let anyone even the village. And the same is true of the Academy Awards, except for film myths like Fa Ge, which can only be won at the right time, even no matter how powerful people are, they have never won the Academy Awards.
"The winner of the Best Screenplay at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards is ......" Ye Tong's gaze swept over Wang Jiawei and Shen Xicheng, and finally stopped at Xiao Ran's position: "Xiao Ran, God of Gamblers!" ”
Xiao Ran was ecstatic in his heart, and gently hugged Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong beside him, and then hugged Lin Qingxia deeply. greeted people all the way to the stage, took the trophy handed by Xu Guanwen, and thanked him and Ye Tong before coming to the microphone.
Glancing at the envy and surprise in the audience, the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in Xiao Ran's chest swelled more and more out of control, and he suddenly found that he liked the feeling of being looked up to very much. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ran said: "I am very happy today, because this award has only been awarded now, which shows that it is more valued than the previous screenwriter." ”
Most of the people below remembered Xiao Ran's first sentence after winning the award last year, and at this time, everyone suddenly woke up, Xiao Ran seemed to be the only person in the history of the Academy Awards who won the awards. Although the Academy Awards have only been held for seven years, being able to win the awards for a second time definitely proves that this first screenwriter is by no means in vain.
"Many people call me the first screenwriter, in fact, I want to say that whether it is a screenwriter or other filmmakers, if they don't continue to make progress with the times, they are the first screenwriters in the world, and they will be eliminated sooner or later!" Speaking of this, Xiao Ran's expression became heavy, and then he smiled: "Now it seems that I am still very close to the times!" ”
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, but Fang Ruohai's face was extremely gloomy. It is difficult to explain how he felt watching Xiao Ran step by step towards success, maybe he regretted it, maybe he was a little resentful, but from some angles, he couldn't help but admire Xiao Ran.
I admire Xiao Ran's talent, I admire Xiao Ran's ability to come to this point, and I admire Xiao Ran's ability to make the company expand rapidly while also being able to carry out such artistic creation. And Fang Ruohai thinks that he will never be able to do it, not to mention that he doesn't have this talent, even if he has, it is impossible to create such a work of art.
However, he hated Xiao Ran even more, hating Xiao Ran for leaving him a lifetime of shame in the stock market crash, and even brought endless humiliation to their entire family. He said to himself maliciously: "You can be proud, anyway, you won't be able to win any awards in the future!" ”
Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran is not proud, but happy and happy after being filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Film is an art of collective creation, and every link must be a lot. I would like to take the opportunity to say to all friends in the industry in Hong Kong, don't be presumptuous, even if you are a lighting man, you can still achieve the pinnacle, as long as you are willing to work hard. ”
After thanking Xu Guanwen and Ye Tong again, Xiao Ran stepped off the stage with a relaxed and happy pace. suddenly heard Ye Tong on the stage suddenly burst out: "Such an excellent screenwriter, I really hope to have the opportunity to work with him next time." ”
Back in his position, Wei Dongling's red eyes were really terrifying, and he snatched Xiao Ran's trophy with his hand: "Give me this, when can I get the award and return it to you!" ”
Don't think that Wei Dongling has no chance to win the award because he is an administrator, and don't forget that he is the general manager of the company. As long as he wants, he can hang the position of executive producer in a film at any time, and the best picture is precisely the executive producer who wins the award.
In fact, the two films nominated for Best Picture by Phantom this time both bear Wei Dongling's name. It is absolutely possible to win the prize, Xiao Ran smiled lightly and let go of his hand. Fa Ge also looked at Xiao Ran excitedly: "Ah Ran, now you have become the only person in history who can win the award for a second time!" ”
"Wait a minute, you're the second!" Xiao Ran's excitement gradually calmed down, and he teased Fa Ge: "You have been nominated for four nominations for the first time in history, if you don't win the award again, I'm afraid that your fans will use knives to split the judges!" ”
Fa Ge smiled, this time he was also very sure, even the blind can see that if Fa Ge can't win this time, it will really be angry. Just kidding, the four nominations can't win the award, so in the future, everyone won't make so many good movies, and they will win bad movies.
After talking to the surroundings for a few words, Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yuling on the stage both said in an emotional tone at the same time: "I really didn't expect it, but there is no suspense for Xiao Ran to win this award." No, I'll work with him again next time! ”
So far, only five awards have been awarded, and the Phantom has won five. Judging from the current situation, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Phantom Company will sweep the 7th Academy Awards. Just thinking of this, everyone was shocked, the Phantom was only founded for a year, and it was a miracle that it could have such an achievement, no wonder Xiao Ran was called the Hand of God.
The best action direction is still won by Cheng Jiaban, but it has not changed from history. Xiao Ran was not surprised by this result at all, you must know that Cheng Jiaban is the team that has won the most awards in the history of the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards.
The following is the best editing, in this category, only Zhang Yaozong of "God of Gamblers" was nominated. However, it was Jiang Guoquan of "Final Victory" who won the award. Best Cinematography, "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "God of Gamblers" were all nominated, and the final winner was "God of Gamblers" Huang Yongheng!
In Best Supporting Actress, the Phantom is a complete failure, because there is not even a single nomination. This made Xiao Ran vigilant, he had heard a saying before, the cultivation of a male movie star takes ten years, and the training of a female movie star only takes five years. It is precisely because of the short time required by female movie stars that their replacement is often very fast, and their careers are far less durable than those of male movie stars.
In terms of Best Supporting Actor, the Phantom won two nominations for He Jiaju and Zhang Yaoyang in "Prison Storm", and Zhang Yaoyang won the award. The tightest moment is when the remaining four jackpots are the real proof of who wins and loses.
The Best Actress was taken away by Xiao Fangfang without any suspense, and she really deserves to be an old drama from a child star. finally arrived at Fa Ge's most nervous Best Actor, in fact, this year is really a battle of dragons and tigers, several awards are abnormal six nominations, and the Best Actor is as high as seven nominations. Of course, four of them are Fa Ge.
After listening to the guest's nonsense for a while, he said: "This award-winning person is really amazing, I think if I don't give him the award, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door." The Best Actor at the 7th Academy Awards is...... Zhou Runfa, "God of Gamblers"! ”
Sure enough, it was "God of Gamblers", Xiao Ran confirmed his judgment when he heard it. He knew that if Fa Ge won the award, he would win it with "God of Gamblers". Although the performances in his other works are extremely classic, the acting skills in "God of Gamblers" are obviously a little higher, just with that half-silly and half-sober gambling scene, it is more than enough to win the Oscar.
Fa Ge stood up in ecstasy, and sure enough, he won the award. The Phantom group congratulated him with a smile, and when he came to the stage to receive the award and give a speech, he said something that made Xiao Ran stunned: "I am very excited to win this award, but this time, I just want to thank one person, he is the miracle and talent of our Hong Kong film industry Xiao Ran!" ”
The audience was in an uproar, Xiao Ran shook his head in surprise, Fa Ge is really a cow, who came to the stage and didn't say thank you for this and thank you, for fear of missing half of it and offending others. But Fa Ge only said thank him, isn't this extremely strange.
"I want to thank him for asking me to act in these films, and thank him for giving me a lot of guidance on acting, which allowed me to break through my previous performances, so that I can stand here." Fa Ge's tone was very sincere, and his eyes glanced at Xiao Ran, which was indeed unprecedentedly serious: "The most important thing is that he taught me how to take on the play, not to take the play indiscriminately for the sake of making money, but to take the play for the sake of acting well." I think I'm really grateful to him! ”
Fa Ge's words suddenly made the audience burst into fierce applause, thinking about the award won by "God of Gamblers" this time, several filmmakers were moved. If you can cooperate with Xiao Ran, wouldn't it be easy to win the award.
When Fa Ge returned to his position, Xiao Ran sighed: "Fa Ge, why do you say this, if you are not such a person, it is useless for me to tell you!" ”
"Not really!" Fa Ge looked at Xiao Ran sincerely: "Ah Ran, what I said is true, forget about acting skills or something." However, if it weren't for you, I would still be half red and not black as before, where I have today's results! ”
"Forget it!" Xiao Ran sighed quite ashamedly, shook his hand and said, "Brother Fa, don't mention these things in the future, if you treat me as a good friend!" ”
"You're not my good friend!" Hearing that Fa Ge denied it, Xiao Ran was taken aback, but saw Fa Ge say with a smile: "You are my good brother!" Xiao Ran's heart suddenly became hot, it was both accidental and inevitable to have such a friendship with this Fa Ge.
Now all that remains are the last two awards, Best Director and Best Picture. In fact, many people are easy to confuse these two awards, thinking that the director who can export the best film should be the best director, and that the relationship between the two is inevitable.
However, in terms of specific definitions, the difference between the two is quite significant. The best film is in Xiao Ran's understanding, that is, the film with the highest comprehensive level. The best director is the director who shows the strongest directing skills in a certain film. The meaning of this strong word is very far-reaching, that is, it can be ingenious, it can be very strong, and it can be very special.
A relatively typical example is "PTU", which is a work that belongs entirely to the director's style, and of course it is not without qualifications for Best Picture. However, everyone knows that Du Qifeng's directing skills in this film far surpass other aspects, so he only won the best director for this film, not the best picture.
The presenters were Chu Yuan and Fang Yuping, Chu Yuan was a senior director in the Cantonese film era. It is worth mentioning that although Chu Yuan is old, he can also keep up with the new wave of cutting-edge directors in terms of directing techniques, such as "The Legend of the Big Husband" starring Fa Ge in Xiao Ran's memory, which is an extremely hilarious film directed by him.
Fang Yuping is also a very remarkable director, who won the best film and best director with "Half the Man" in the previous sessions, and is politically more inclined to mainland political axes. A senior and a junior, the two directors still came to the last paragraph on stage: "Uncle Chu, now is really an era of newcomers, you see that most of the shortlisted this year have just debuted a few years ago!" ”
"For me, it's a newcomer, and for you, it's not a newcomer!" Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the list of nominees first......
The nominees for Best Director at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards are: Xiao Ran, "God of Gamblers"; Lin Lingdong, "Prison Storm"; Lin Lingdong, "Dragon and Tiger"; Zhang Wanyao, "Autumn Fairy Tale"; Xu Anhua, "Book of Swords and Enmity"; Tam Jiaming, "Final Victory" ......"
"This session is indeed a strong player, you see Lin Lingdong won two nominations, Xiao Ran won one, they are all very powerful directors." Chu Yuan has always spoken humorously, which is similar to the characters who often appear on the screen: "Let's see who killed the deer ......"
Xiao Ran glanced at Zhang Wanyao and Lin Lingdong, who were not far from the front row of him, and they were all nervous. Xiao Ran was even more nervous, joking, the best director is not so easy to ignore. At least he felt that this weight was much stronger than the best screenwriter, of course, because he originally wanted to be a director.
However, this time the Phantom is really showing its face. Of the six director nominations, four were taken away by the Phantom, and the remaining one was divided by Debao and Xu Ke's film studios, and Golden Harvest didn't even get the qualification. However, just when all six of them were nervous......
