Xiao Ran is well aware of the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which was founded by "Film Fortnightly" in 1982, and did not expect that the Awards would become the most important and authoritative film event in the Hong Kong film industry in the future. It has not only become the 'Oscar' in the minds of Hong Kong filmmakers, but also the most concerned event in the Chinese film industry, and there are countless Chinese people behind it.

Compared with many film awards in mainland Taiwan and Taiwan, although the Hong Kong Film Awards have some geographical restrictions, because of the lack of a certain consciousness and form of bonding, they can often focus more on the balance between business and art in the evaluation, so the general Academy Awards can include most of the excellent works and characters.

It's just that Xiao Ran knows that the continuous decline of Hong Kong films in the future has now fallen to a low point in more than ten years, and the Hong Kong Film Awards, which are closely related to Hong Kong films, have gradually lost their former dignity and are being ignored.

He also knows that from this period to the next ten years, the competition for the Academy Awards can be described as fierce. If you say that the films that are not selected now will participate in the competition 20 years later, it is a good thing to win the award, which shows that Hong Kong films are strong today, and Hong Kong films will be weak in 20 years.

After thinking about it, he shook his head regretfully, and found a chair with his name on it in the venue and sat down. The names next to him were actually Wei Jiahui and You Zhi, but he came very early and wanted to see the grand events of this era.

Gradually, there was an uproar in the venue, and many actors and singers arrived, causing a burst of screams from fans and fans. Everyone who knew Xiao Ran eagerly greeted him, but it made him baffled. Just as he was looking up for Xiao Han, a figure covered his gaze, it was Wei Jiahui, and behind him was You Zhi.

"Who are you looking for? 20 million screenwriters! Wei Jiahui snickered and teased, You Zhi obviously knew why Wei Jiahui was laughing, and he couldn't stop snickering.

"Looking for my sister, wait......" Xiao Ran replied casually, only then did he realize Wei Jiahui's last sentence, and asked confusedly: "What 20 million screenwriters?" ”

Wei Jiahui just smiled, but didn't speak, but You Zhi explained kindly: "Don't you know?" The three books you wrote all had a box office of more than 20 million, and you are still a newcomer, which is very rare! ”

Xiao Ran opened his mouth wide, and the meaning of surprise was clearly expressed. He knew very well the box office of the three films that had been released, but he didn't expect to be given such a nickname, and the worst thing is that this nickname is so awkward!

In fact, it is absolutely rare for a screenwriter like him to write several blockbuster scripts in a row just after his debut, especially when the box office of each film reaches more than 20 million, which is even more rare. So, this is simply a miracle-like thing, no wonder it has been given such an ugly name.

"In my opinion, none of them are the protagonists today, you are the protagonist!" Wei Jiahui looked at Xiao Ran, who didn't know why, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the two films you wrote were the most won this year, and they were also shortlisted for Best Film." Whether it is the Academy Awards or the Golden Horse Awards, there is rarely such a situation where you play yourself, and your limelight is decided! ”

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, he didn't think about it that much. However, it doesn't seem to hurt him to get closer to his goal. Suddenly, it occurred to him that in his memory, "Police Story" was indeed shortlisted, and it also won the best picture. But only three of the books he wrote have been released, and what is the other shortlisted?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly picked up the printed materials sent out by the conference and looked at them, and suddenly had the illusion that the world was spinning. Another shortlisted for Best Picture was actually "Mr. Zombie", he didn't expect this film to be shortlisted, because in his memory, this film was just an entertainment film.

In fact, Xiao Ran really ignored it, in fact, whether it was in a dream or in this era, "Mr. Zombie" was also shortlisted. To put it simply, although there have been a little ripples in history, there have been absolutely no major changes, and it is still moving forward according to what Xiao Ran knows.

Moreover, what especially shocked Xiao Ran was that "Mr. Zombie" received twelve nominations. It is important to know that the Academy Awards in this era are far less numerous than those of later years, with only fifteen awards, and one of them is a jury prize.

In fact, the previous awards were not as fierce as they were later, and the sixth edition can be regarded as a watershed. The appearance of "The True Color of Heroes" is not only an epochal significance, but also can be said to have single-handedly led Hong Kong films to fierce competition. If you have to use one word to describe the glory of the late eighties and early nineties, then Xiao Ran thinks about it, and only a hundred flowers can roughly describe it.

In the future era, these Hong Kong films before 1986 are inevitably a little bland, and Xiao Ran believes that this blandness is caused by the lack of themes. After that, it was different, because directors such as Xu Ke and Xu Anhua of the New Wave gradually became famous at this time, gradually replacing the previous generation of filmmakers, and quickly completed the succession in the following years.

It is also these cutting-edge directors who make Hong Kong films glow with endless vitality. Hero films, prison films, gangster films, gambling films, action films, ghost films, zombie films and films with female surnames emerge in an endless stream, which is the reason why Hong Kong films can shine, and it is also a reason for the decline of Hong Kong films that are always obsessed with making comedy themes in the future.

Of course, although all this will not be marked until after next year's Academy Awards, for Xiao Ran, being able to witness it is enough to make him excited. Moreover, he participated in the event as a nominee.

20 million screenwriters? Xiao Ran smiled slightly, he suddenly felt that this nickname was quite good. Unfortunately, this nickname was soon broken by "Happy Ghosts", as the film only grossed 15 million at the box office. However, he naturally didn't care about the nickname, but the meaning of the name after people called it.

was thinking about it, and was suddenly pushed by Wei Jiahui, only to see that he and You Zhi looked very strange: "Were you sleepwalking just now, why did you have a weird expression!" ”

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a steady smile beyond his age. At this time, the people sitting in the front row also came, and it was the fat king, that is, Wang Jing, Tan Yongling and Zhong Zhentao, and of course, there was also a bad friend Lakzai. When Wang Jing saw Xiao Ran and the three of them from afar, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and greeted them with a smile: "It turns out that you are also here, so I am looking for them everywhere!" ”

Wei Jiahui glanced at Xiao Ran with slanted eyes, and continued meaningfully: "I'm afraid you're not looking for me and Ah You, now Ah Ran is a very popular character!" ”

Xiao Ran didn't think so, it didn't mean anything to find it or not, at least it didn't make much difference to him. Wang Jing laughed, but he was not covered up in the messy venue, and then he turned around and said to Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, write me a notebook!" ”

"The Shaw Brothers have basically stopped production, don't you ......" Xiao Ran suddenly knew that Wang Jing wanted to go it alone, but he didn't think it would be done in the short term. Because in his memory, Wang Jing doesn't seem to have any works in 1986.

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, as long as you promise to make me a book, it will always be useful!" Wang Jing faintly admired Xiao Ran, and guessed that he was going to go it alone so quickly. He continued with a smile: "The script fee is indispensable to you!" ”

After so many months of understanding and playing, if Xiao Ran still doesn't understand Wang Jing, he is simply an idiot. Therefore, he knows very well that although Wang Jing is a little scheming, he always likes to make heroic friends. So, he didn't pretend to be proud of patting his chest, but just shook his head with a light smile: "It's boring to talk about money!" ”

Seeing Xiao Ran's expression and the sincerity in his eyes, Wang Jing nodded secretly, he had a good impression of Xiao Ran. In his eyes, Xiao Ran is a good person, and he is a simple person, the only drawback may be that the amount of alcohol is too bad, and he is a little eccentric (making friends with unknown actors).

Before Wang Jing could think of anything, he was pushed aside by Chen Baixiang and the others: "Go and go, don't hinder us from talking about serious things with Ah Ran!" ”

"Ah Ran, how do you know that Tongde will win ten in a row, it's just a god!" Chen Baixiang and the three of them asked in unison, and the incredible meaning in their expressions was indescribable. After Xiao Ran knew that he couldn't rely on Tongde to make money, he told Wang Jing and his friends the news, and I am afraid that they also won a big vote: "Don't tell me that you guessed!" ”

"I know why!" Because of his identity, You Zhi didn't accept these guys at first. Later, Xiao Ran always promoted him very much, and as a result, Wang Jing and the others gradually became familiar with him.

It's just that Xiao Ran often warns You Zhi not to lose his ideals, not to entertain for the sake of entertainment, and to have his own ideas in film creation. He did this because he was afraid that You Zhi, a genius director, would die because he had mixed up with Wang Jing too much. Fortunately, You Zhi is obviously very able to grasp the proportions.

Xiao Ran frowned and shook, just about to stop it, thinking about it, but the ghost made a god stop. You Zhi's expression was extremely mysterious, and it was full of hope from several other people.

"Ah Ran, his vision is very powerful!" You Zhi spoke eloquently, and it looked very exaggerated. However, Xiao Ran knew that You Zhi was the kind of person with the surname Introvert, and if he hadn't met Wang Jing and them often, it would be difficult to make this appearance.

"Visionary?" Tan Yongling squinted at Xiao Ran, who was indifferent, if it weren't for You Zhi's expression being so weird, he wouldn't even have that half-belief: "There are some things that can't be seen by eyesight!" ”

Tan Yongling's meaning Xiao Ran understands that Macau's most famous is the casino, which means that if he has such ability, he is afraid that he will be developed a long time ago, so there is no need to stay here. Xiao Ran just smiled slightly, and in the eyes of others, it was extremely mysterious: "Don't listen to Ah You's nonsense, if I was really that powerful, it would have been sent a long time ago." ”

"I believe it!" Chen Baixiang suddenly popped out such a sentence, which surprised everyone: "Otherwise, even if there is inside information, it is impossible to know that Tongde can run ten consecutive victories!" ”

Thinking of the fact that Xiao Ran successfully "calculated" Tongde's ten consecutive victories in front of him, they couldn't help but believe it. However, Tan Yongling and Ah B still glanced at Xiao Ran in disbelief, and then turned around and sat down.

Chen Baixiang took out a check and handed it to Xiao Ran, and said with a smile: "Ah Ran, several of us have won a lot, and this is what we put together for you." ”

"No need!" Xiao Ran frowned, it was not that he didn't want this money, but he knew that spending this money to make friends with these people was definitely worth a thousand dollars: "I only provided a piece of news that is not necessarily true, you buy it, that's your luck, you don't need to count mine!" ”

While talking, Xiao Ran saw Zhou Yanfa walking over here, smiling......
