After a period of shock, the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony officially began, and one of the hosts was the witty comedian Zeng Zhiwei who Chen Xuanting had reused in wireless. Today's Zeng Zhiwei is not as lofty as in his previous life, and he is slightly inferior to Chow Yun-fat, Alan Tam, Huang Baiming and others.

As for Zeng Zhiwei himself, Chen Xuanting is of course clear. This Zeng Zhiwei is really a great character, he was a professional football player in his early years, and later became a dragon and tiger martial artist, and then an actor, a director, a producer, a boss, and a TV show. What's even more interesting is that no matter what he does, he can do it better than ordinary people, for example, "Five Tigers Break Up" directed by him is a pretty good film. In the 21st century, he also promoted two extremely talented new directors to debut when the market was extremely poor, and he can definitely be regarded as the backbone of Hong Kong. However, in this era, Zeng Zhiwei rarely acts in dramas, almost all of them act in comedies, and one of the most classic roles is Luo Han Guo in the "Fuxing" series. Looking at Zeng Zhiwei, who can be described as a universal glue, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but sigh for a while when he thought of future Hong Kong movies.

Chen Xuanting once heard a story about Zeng Zhiwei, saying that after he filmed the movie, he sat down with Alan Tam, Zhong Zhentao and other big names to eat, Alan Tam always made jokes about him, Zeng Zhiwei only smirked, and did not dare to argue about right and wrong. It wasn't until the joke came to his old mother that his face changed. But Alan Tam asked him, what's wrong? Zeng Zhiwei had to squeeze out a smile and said, no, it's just a joke!

It can be seen that Zeng Zhiwei at this time has not yet become a big man in the entertainment industry in the future, and because Chen Xuanting values him in wireless, he indirectly helped him to ascend to the position. Zeng Zhiwei was grateful, and had personally visited Chen Xuanting, Chen Xuanting just smiled and said, Viagra, I am optimistic about you!

Now Zeng Zhiwei is the emcee of the Academy Awards, which has shown the rise of his status.

As the master of ceremonies, Zeng Zhiwei and Shen Dianxia first announced some changes in this year's Academy Awards, such as TV broadcasts, and then announced the official start of the awards. Next, as we are familiar with, we will invite famous Hong Kong singers to sing a song. As a warm-up for the awards ceremony. And this person who can be invited with great honor is Chen Xuanting's good friend, "Andy Lau" among the Four Heavenly Kings!

Under the stage seat, Chen Xuanting didn't seem to care about how the Academy Awards would go on and who would be awarded the awards, and Li Jiaxin's appearance greatly disturbed his mind, so he was even more indifferent at this time.

Despite this, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but be nervous at the moment, because the song that Andy Lau was about to sing on stage was tailor-made for Andy Lau himself.

Then again, as the four kings of the Hong Kong music scene, it is unreasonable for Andy Lau not to perform on such an occasion. Not to mention the honor represented here, just thinking about the opportunity to show his new breakthrough in music has already made Andy Lau feel moved, so he gladly accepted the invitation of the Academy Awards Committee. It's just that in terms of singing songs, Andy Lau got stuck, but he immediately thought of one person, that is, Chen Xuanting.

As a sudden rise last year, he created a number of popular songs in one fell swoop, including "Forgetting Love Water", "Ice Rain", "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry", "A Dashing Walk" for Ye Qianwen, "It's Not That Simple" for Leslie Cheung and so on. Chen Xuanting has also gained a reputation as a creative talent in the music world.

Therefore, Andy Lau believes that as long as there is Chen Xuanting's knife, his performance will be very exciting.

After Chen Xuanting received Andy Lau's request, he couldn't refuse. started work overnight, and created the classic Chinese-style song in his previous life - "Chrysanthemum Terrace"!

Speaking of this song, since Chen Xuanting can only compose lyrics and can't compose, he had to ask Huang Zhan to come over to help. For the score of this song, Huang Zhan's whole person seemed to go crazy, and the image was really sad to see, and he cried when he thought about it, which was extremely miserable.

However, Rao is like this, and when he is very sympathetic to Huang Zhan, Chen Xuanting is still not very satisfied with the melody. I always feel that there is a gap with my previous life.

"Well, it still feels a little bit worse. Or, if you use a Chinese-style guzheng to make it, it will feel a little better. Chen Xuanting finally touched his chin and said.

Huang Zhan, who was already exhausted, suddenly sat on the ground and rolled his eyes, although he didn't say anything, but his eyes were clearly telling Chen Xuanting: "You go to die, return the guzheng?" I can't even blow the flute. Thinking of his hard work, Huang Zhan was about to vomit blood.

In fact, Huang Zhan's composition has been done very well, but on the one hand, Chen Xuanting naturally pursues the most perfect, and his thoughts seem to be still stuck on the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" in his previous life, and it is inevitable that there will be an illusion that the one in front is the best.

was glared at by Huang Zhan, Chen Xuanting himself felt excessive, and hurriedly apologized to Huang Zhan, Huang Zhan was naturally not really angry, because only Chen Xuanting was so strict with himself that he could create really good songs, and it was too late for him to appreciate it.

A storm has disappeared before it even starts. Of course, for a big family like Chen Xuanting, Huang Zhan naturally will not give up the opportunity to rip off the bamboo, and a hearty meal will not be able to run.

For Chen Xuanting, as long as the people around him are happy, he doesn't care about the little money at all. And so it all ended in a comedy. What's more, he can also blackmail Andy Lau's bamboo pole! Who made him a big guy too?!

Anyway, this dare was finally completed on time, successfully delivered to Andy Lau, and caught up with the award ceremony of the Academy Awards.

Due to Li Jiaxin's unexpected appearance, Chen Xuanting's peaceful mind was broken, and in the early part of the Academy Awards ceremony, he didn't pay attention to what happened at all. Until Andy Lau nodded to him and signaled that he was about to play, Chen Xuanting gave him a thumbs up and wished him a smooth performance.

Andy Lau has always been very professional in singing, not to mention that this time he sang for the Academy Awards, so he did not slack off at all. In addition to "Chrysanthemum Terrace" created by Chen Xuanting for him, Andy Lau also prepared a song, which is a cover of the song "Forgetful Samba" that became popular by the grasshopper group last year.

Before Andy Lau's performance, most of the stage lights had been dimmed, but there was a place in the middle where the lighting was strong, which was reserved for Andy Lau's performance. Andy Lau appeared in black, and there was already a burst of fierce samba music as a prelude before the appearance. Before the prelude was over, Andy Lau had already stepped into the aperture range, and first came a burst of his newly learned samba as the opening.

Although there are not many people who can dance this dance, which is famous all over the world, there are many people who know how to appreciate it. Andy Lau's energetic dance has already won bursts of applause.

Since Andy Lau turned from a movie star to a singer, he has worked his singing and dancing skills, and he also likes to show off his own dance in many performances. Therefore, he, like Aaron Kwok, has a reputation for singing and dancing in the "Four Heavenly Kings". There are many people here who know that Andy Lau dances well, but there are not many people who have really appreciated Andy Lau's dancing skills. As soon as Andy Lau appeared this time, everyone knew that under the fame, he was indeed a vain person.

Andy Lau's dance, although the layman feels lively when he sees it, the applause is non-stop, and those who really know the industry can experience Andy Lau's grasp of the essence of this dance, which is even more praised.

The dance didn't stop, and the song started again: Lover looking for a new love, you have you, why are you still obsessed with learning, I continue to play to forget my lost love, say goodbye, it's that sad to go crazy and dance wildly, dance this samba with me, don't care about the former lover, samba to get rid of dissatisfaction, vent your frustration, samba together, bounce away dissatisfaction...... Andy Lau's unique baritone, in this passionate lyrics and melody, becomes wide open and close, quite an emotional charm, and such a style of singing makes everyone stunned.

Andy Lau's music is very famous, but everyone has never heard of Andy Lau's original songs singing so well, so good! And this style of song is completely different from the popular style of whispered love songs, but it has another indescribable hot charm. All of a sudden, everyone felt that Andy Lau could go from an actor to a singer, and then his rise in the music world was no accident, his attainments in music can be said to be profound, and he is also good at what style.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Andy Lau's efforts in his singing career are almost several times that of many people. When he first stepped into the music scene as a movie star, he was applauded as soon as he came on stage, saying that he was terrible at singing, so let's go to acting. Andy Lau did not flinch, he continued to work hard until the classic "Thank You for Your Love" won the first place on the golden song chart, and his singing ability was recognized by everyone. After that, he worked harder until he was known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the music world. Therefore, in Andy Lau's experience of struggle, he doesn't believe much in talent, let alone fate, but only believes in God's reward for hard work!

As for samba, Andy Lau didn't know it at first, most of the dances he danced were the current popular arm swing and leg swing dances, but in order to perform at the Academy Awards this time, Andy Lau specially hired a famous Hong Kong samba coach with a high salary, and practiced repeatedly in front of the mirror until he felt satisfied. This time he had the opportunity to perform at the Academy Awards, although others enjoyed watching it, he himself felt satisfied, after all, he paid for it.

At this moment, with the energetic songs and hot dances, under Andy Lau's excellent singing and dancing performance, this cover of "Forgetful Samba" immediately won unanimous recognition. Under the warm applause of the audience, the atmosphere heated up sharply.

"Okay!"

"Wonderful, fantastic!"

"Andy, one more!" …… After the singing, everyone applauded and shouted.

After singing and dancing, Andy Lau was a little out of breath, took the microphone and said: "Thank you, just now I sang a cover of the Grasshopper Band's "Forgetful Samba", and then I want to sing a very good song composed by Mr. Chen Xuanting and composed by Mr. Huang Zhan, called "Chrysanthemum Terrace". This is also the first time I have sung this song, and I hope you enjoy it! As he spoke, Andy Lau bowed deeply and signaled for the music to begin.

Under the stage, many big names participating in the Academy Awards, such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow and others have long known that Chen Xuanting is "good at" creating very classic songs, but that is just a rumor, and now you can hear the new songs he wrote for Andy Lau with your own ears, and it is inevitable to listen attentively.

When Xiao Zhou Xiuna heard that this song was written by her brother, she couldn't help but hold Chen Xuanting's arm and said, "Brother, you are awesome!" ”

Chen Xuanting scratched her nose and said, "It's not good, it's not necessarily, don't praise me so early!" ”

Having said that, he looked over and saw that Li Jiaxin was in a daze, and Chen Xuanting was inevitably a little uncomfortable.

On the stage, Andy Lau has sung tenderly: Your tears are weak and hurtful, the white moon bends and fixes the past night, it is too long and condenses into frost, who is in the attic, cold and desperate, the rain gently sighs, the vermilion window, I am leaning on the paper, the wind is blowing, the dream is in the distance, it turns into a wisp of incense, and the wind is scattered, your appearance chrysanthemum burns brightly, your smile is yellow, the flowers fall into people's intestines, my heart lies quietly, and the wind is chaotic, and your shadow is slightly shaken, and I am constantly left alone, and I am alone on the lake...... I have to say that this antique and antique "Chrysanthemum Terrace" made everyone stunned. In this "Chrysanthemum Terrace", Huang Zhan flexibly and freely uses cello, gourd silk, guzheng, guitar and other Chinese or Western musical instruments, the rhyme lingers for a long time, and adds a bleak and tactful artistic conception to the song, and the sentimental but not decadent faint sadness is even more wonderful. Coupled with Chen Xuanting's majestic and sad lyrics, it renders that special pathos to the extreme.

There are many big-name musicians who participated in the Academy Awards this time, and later after the end of the Academy Awards, they couldn't hold back their excitement and wrote a lot of comments about this "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

For example, the famous composer Lin Xi said: What is purity, the first time I heard "Chrysanthemum Terrace", I suspected that the singer was not Andy, and it was not until the treble of the ** part that I could distinguish the classic Liu-style baritone. Undoubtedly, the singing tone has changed and become restrained. What surprised me was not only the singing, but also the opening of the strings, which are the classics of Western classical music, and Huang Zhan used his super talent to make the strings with a Chinese flavor, which is the success of the arrangement: the strings entered the traditional Chinese instruments, and there was not the slightest awkwardness in between. I was also amazed at the sound of the clapping in the arrangement, and only the sound of the Chinese clapper could accurately mobilize the melancholy of Jiangnan Minor. The musical instrument at the end of the song, Hulusi, seems to be the sound of sheng when listening quietly.

Let's talk about the lyrics. "Falling flowers are silent, people are as light as chrysanthemums", perhaps this is the reason why Mr. Chen Xuanting named Chrysanthemum Terrace, it is the time when this slender book falls into the flowers - "If it will be endless, it will be new with the ancient".

Mr. Chen Xuanting supplements and enriches the image of the lyrics according to his own understanding and feelings, so that the picture of the song is dynamic and static, jumping and changing, smart and natural, and the emotional curve has ups and downs, and interprets the emotions in the artistic conception if bright and dark, and the rapidly changing emotions. The poem makes full use of the combination of virtual and real, and "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is not a simple feeling and reaction to reality, but a condensed expression of feelings in the aesthetic grasp of the situation! The coexistence of the virtual and the real creates a unique realm, which is exactly the realm of Chinese poetry - the realm of truth is forced and the realm of God is born.

"The chrysanthemums are all over the ground, your smile has turned yellow, the flowers have fallen to the heart, and my heart is quiet", all the scenes then shrouded it, penetrating a layer of boundless melancholy, and the scenes were intertwined, becoming a beautiful beauty.

Perhaps only Chen Xuanting's words make people feel that words are no longer thin, and Andy Lau's voice is to let us feel the power of words!

At this time, after the singing of a song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", the whole venue was silent, and everyone was still immersed in the beautiful lyrics and melody and couldn't extricate themselves.

What is Nature?

That's it!

If it weren't for the host on the stage, Zeng Zhiwei said humorously: "Okay, let's go home and pick chrysanthemums, now we are awarding the Academy Award!" ”

One sentence caused everyone to laugh, and they also came back to their senses and realized that they were too obsessed just now. This shows how powerful the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is.

The organizers of the Academy Awards are even more jealous, - big guys, this is the Academy Awards, not the Golden Melody Awards, and they were almost robbed of the limelight by a song!

People have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, all sighing at Andy Lau's wonderful performance, and even more secretly sighing at Chen Xuanting, a super sharp creative genius behind him, why are the songs created by others so good? ! I don't understand! As for those popular and not-popular singers, all their thoughts stopped on Chen Xuanting at the moment, calculating how to ask him to help him write a song for him.

After Andy Lau's beautiful song was sung, the first award was awarded.

The first to be awarded is the best newcomer, among the newcomers nominated this year, there is a character related to Chen Xuanting, who once played the role of "Fu Guiren" in "Golden Branches Desire" - Liang Zheng!!

Due to Chen Xuanting's appreciation, the actress had the opportunity to cooperate with Ren Dahua to shoot a more gloomy type of action movie "Black Cat", which is a thriller action movie with a female surname as the protagonist, which is still wonderful even after 20 years. The long-legged beauty Liang Zheng defeated the hottest movie newcomer with this play, and Lu Songxian, who starred in "The King of Fighters", won the Best Newcomer award at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards.

The next best film editing was taken away by "Once Upon a Time", and Mak Tsz-shan, known as Hong Kong's golden scissorhands, once again proved his unstoppable strength, defeating his two old rivals, Pan Xiong and Hu Dawei, to win the crown. added another stroke to his Academy Awards. And this person has been working hard for more than 20 years, and has been the queen scissor hand of director Tsui Hark, and after he existed in his back, he knew that in 2000, he became a director, and he is known for his police and gangster films and underworld films, and has become a rare type of talent in the Chinese film industry.

Seeing that the awards are falling one by one, the entire award ceremony is inevitably crowded, and everyone's enthusiasm is also rising.
