Chapter 156: The Sweep of the Academy Awards (3)

Someone once said that 1985 to 1999 was the golden fifteen years of Hong Kong films, whether it was the star lineup or the quantity and quality of the films, it can be said to be unprecedented. [Full text reading] (hand-typed novel) These words are naturally not unreasonable, looking at it, most of the excellent movies that everyone thinks are classic, good-looking, and unforgettable, are almost all products of that time period

Moreover, during this period, a large number of outstanding movie stars and film creators emerged, proud of Hong Kong, shocking the world film industry, and letting all Chinese know that good-looking movies may not only be made in Hollywood, but also in Hong Kong

Lu Yan is now at the beginning of the golden age of Hong Kong films. But at the beginning of the golden years that had just begun, Lu Yan completely released a dazzling light.

I have to say that "Police Story", "True Colors of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are the biggest winners in terms of nominations. "The True Color of Heroes" is a classic among the classics, and it is the most promising winner among the many nominations.

Best Motion Picture Nominations – "True Colors", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Police Story", "A Woman's Heart", "Illegal Immigrant" and "Mr. Zombie".

Among the five nominated films, "The True Color of Heroes" is undoubtedly the most powerful. Although "Police Story" and "Women's Heart" are sandwiched left and right, they are inferior to "The True Colors of Heroes" in terms of strength or momentum, although "A Chinese Ghost Story" is popular, but after all, it is a romance film of costume ghost films, so if there is no accident, the final victory of "The True Color of Heroes" should be in line with public opinion. As for "Illegal Immigration", getting nominated is already the best outcome. And "Mr. Zombie" is a low-budget production, and it sells just a novelty

"True Colors of Heroes" was considered a powerful stimulant for Hong Kong films last year, dwarfing other films. It is also to create the trend of gangster hero films and create the 'romantic aesthetics of violence'. It is no exaggeration to say that 1985 was the year of "The True Colors of Heroes" in the Hong Kong film industry, and this year's Academy Awards should also be the harvest season of "The True Colors of Heroes".

However, the most curious, but reasonable thing is that there are two movies directed by Lu Yan. However, it is not only the best film, but also the other major awards.

The competition for best director is still focused on the dark war between the three films, Lu Yan, Guan Jinpeng, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Liu Guanwei, but Lu Yan is shortlisted for "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story". On the other hand, the winner of Best Film will naturally be the winner of Best Director.

For so many awards, everyone's speculation about who will win the Best Actor award is the most intense.

Nominated for Best Actor: Zheng Zeshi's "Why Have Me", Jackie Chan's "Dragon's Heart", Jackie Chan's "Police Story", and Chow Yun-fat and Dillon were all shortlisted for "The True Color of Heroes".

In Lu Yan's view, it is undoubtedly Chow Yun-fat who won the best actor. The role of Brother Xiao Ma is definitely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And in terms of acting skills, it is not inferior to any of them. However, Jackie Chan was shortlisted for two movies, so in terms of probability analysis, he is undoubtedly a few layers older than Chow Yun-fat

"In fact, every time I come to the Academy Awards with great confidence, but often most people will return disappointed." Chow Yun-fat, who had been sitting upright, suddenly let out such an emotion.

However, Dillon smiled faintly, glanced at Lu Yan and said, "Fa Zai, what you said is wrong." Don't look at our director Lu Da, who claims to be a 'fooling director', but what he fools is very accurate. I think this year's actor must be you. ”

"Brother Long will kill Brother Fa if he can't do it." Leslie Cheung smiled, but there was something unpleasant in his heart. He is similar to the public's original idea, and he should have a chance to be shortlisted for Best Actor. didn't expect that "The True Color of Heroes" was not shortlisted, and even "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not recognized by the judges.

On the contrary, Lu Yan looked indifferent, and whispered: "Whether you win the award or not is secondary, and a good box office can prove everything." In many cases, the judges are also determined based on personal preferences. To win awards, I will make a few such films in the future. ”

"Poof......

"Yan Zai, your family opened the Academy Awards."

"Haha"

Some of the actors sitting next to Lu Yan and them also laughed back and forth. In everyone's opinion, Lu Yan took this opportunity to let them relax. Just kidding, as for what Lu Yan thinks, who knows

And as time passed, the awards were revealed one by one.

It was also the announcement of the awards one by one that made Lu Yan shout hell.

Best Cinematography, Wong Chung Biao's "Women's Heart", Ao Zhijun's "Mr. Zombie", Zhang Yaozu's "Police Story", as well as "The True Color of Heroes" Liu Weiqiang and "A Chinese Ghost Story" Christopher Doyle......

Lu Yan was naturally not wrong when he shouted this ghost, because when the award presenters finally shouted the winner, it turned out to be Du Kefeng

For the first time in the history of the Academy Awards, a gringo stood on the stage.

Thanks to whom? Of course, thanks to Lu Yan, Du Kefeng's first reaction when he heard that he had won the award was to shout. immediately hugged Liu Weiqiang and them, and even ran to Lu Yan to cast a very enthusiastic veneer.

Since Christopher Doyle won the first award, "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" have completely made the entire Academy Awards go crazy.

The best art direction was won by Tim Yip, a part-time college student, for "A Chinese Ghost Story". Best Supporting Actor, won by Li Zixiong. The best music was won by Dai Lemin and Huang Zhan with "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the best movie song was "A Chinese Ghost Story" Composer/Lyricist: Huang Zhan, Vocals: Ye Qianwen......

"Wow, it seems that today is a bumper harvest for Dongcheng Images, look at our director Lu Da has a strange expression. It seems that he didn't expect to win so many awards, and I have to say that "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are really one of my favorite movies to watch this year. The shooting is really exciting" Yu Cheng wore big white angel glasses, looked at Lu Yan with the spotlight on stage and laughed: "Below, what we are about to reveal is the best newcomer." Let's welcome the award presenters Director Huang Baiming and Director Tsui Hark, these are two great directors."

"Those awards just now scared my heart. Old Monster Xu, what kind of ghost did you train? Huang Baiming's frightened appearance is really in line with his image of starring in "Happy Ghost".

However, Tsui Hark was very normal, and said with a smile: "I knew that I wouldn't dare to take it, I don't think it's a front wave, it looks like I'm about to be photographed on the beach."

"No, no. When the Academy Awards are over, we're going to have a good knock......"

The teasing of the two on the stage certainly made many stars present laugh. Rao is Lu Yan, and he couldn't help but glance at the two of them on the stage. This scene, of course, was captured very well by the camera. Even, simply put it on the big screen

"Haha......"

"Yan Zai doesn't seem to want to be slaughtered by us"

"He doesn't want to do anything about us, and he's afraid that he won't pay the bills......"

"Come, let's see who the finalists for this year's best newcomer are......"

Chen Wanli's "Women's Romance", Michelle Yeoh's "Royal Sister", Zheng Haonan's "Eros No. 1", Lou Nanguang's "Mr. Zombie" and Wang Zuxian - "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"How can there be a movie of Yan Zai"

And Wang Zuxian looked at the stage very nervously, although he was not shortlisted for Best Actress. But being shortlisted for the best newcomer is undoubtedly a good affirmation of her.

"Old Monster Xu, it's up to you to reveal this award."

Tear open the envelope and pull out the note. Tsui Hark suddenly laughed weirdly, and then shouted: "Yan Zai......"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Baiming suddenly interjected: "Yan Zai doesn't seem to be shortlisted, otherwise, this award will simply be awarded to him." Just now, he had already seen the winners on the list. It is precisely because of this that he makes unscrupulous jokes; "Anyway, they came together, and no one can take it the same. Isn't it all at home?"

"Haha......"

"Poof......

It's clear that the winners speak for themselves.

"Joey, Wang Zuxian" Tsui Hark is also rarely humorous now, and said with a smile: "Could it be that it is the same home?" ”

"Joey, congratulations" Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to Wang Zuxian, quickly pulled Wang Zuxian's hand and motioned for her to come to the stage to accept the award. Both of them came from Taiwan, and naturally they quickly became good friends who talked about everything. It's just that everyone is busy, and they finally met again at the Academy Awards.

With everyone's applause, Lu Yan was naturally reflected on the big screen again. The backstage control personnel kept switching between him and Wang Zuxian's live broadcast.

At this moment, where does Wang Zuxian care about this. She ran towards Lu Yan and them very excitedly, and first hugged Leslie Cheung. Then he hugged Lu Yan again, and Lu Yan patted her back and whispered: "Don't be nervous, it's just the best newcomer."

And such an intimate scene suddenly made everyone at the scene guess what Lu Yan said to Wang Zuxian?
