Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Disappointing Academy Awards
Stunned and disappointed, this is the most straightforward thought in Makujo's heart at this time.
Unexpectedly, the grand and influential Academy Awards ceremony in later generations was so simple and rough in the early days, which was completely different from what Makujo imagined. The venue is small, the guests are few, the content is simple, and you can't feel the glorious and grand atmosphere of the later generations at all.
Makucheng leaned against the car window, looking at the bustling streets outside, and remembered the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony held at the Rijin Hotel in Kowloon before, and finally sighed silently and retracted his gaze.
"Ah Cheng, don't sigh, it's actually nothing if you don't win the award. You are so talented, and there will be opportunities in the future. Zhou Huimin, who was sitting next to Makujo, held Makujo's hand tightly and comforted him with concern.
Makujo had a disappointed expression on his face after coming out of the awards, especially the helpless sigh just now, Zhou Huimin thought that he was feeling sad that he didn't win the award tonight.
Feeling the warmth in his hand, looking at Zhou Huimin's caring expression, Makujo stretched out his other hand, covering Zhou Huimin's gesture, and smiled at her gently.
"It's okay, I didn't pay attention to this award at all, I was thinking about other things, I just had some nostalgia."
"Well, that's good." Zhou Huimin enjoyed the gentleness of the Shogun, and gently leaned on the Shogun's shoulder, for her, it didn't matter what the award was or not, as long as she could be happy with the Shogun, she felt very satisfied.
Makujo moved his body to make the posture of the two more comfortable, and looked sideways at the tender girl beside him, and his face was full of happiness. The two snuggled up to each other and chatted briefly, of course, the main topic was about tonight's Academy Awards.
The results of the 5th Academy Awards can be said to have exceeded most people's expectations, and a large number of people are talking about this Academy Awards, and I believe that tomorrow's newspaper will be a sensation.
At tonight's awards ceremony, the winners are as follows:
Best Film: Police Story
Best Director: Zhang Wanyao "Illegal Immigration"
Best Screenplay: Lu Jianming, Deng Rongluan "The Wrong Mandarin Duck"
Best Actor: Zheng Zeshi "Why Me"
Best Actress: Wang Xiaofeng "The Wrong Mandarin Duck"
Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best 、、、、
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
As expected, there is always a disagreement with the innovation that breaks the old situation.
One of the biggest breakthroughs is that "Police Story" directed by Cheng Long won the award of Best Picture. "Police Story" is a modern stylized work of crime action, and the best films in the past are those pure art films, which cannot but be said to be a major breakthrough that breaks the rules.
And the most disappointing thing is the two previous hit movies, "Mr. Zombie" with 11 nominations and "Women's Heart" with 9 nominations, the former only won one award for best music, and the latter was wiped out, which can be described as an unexpected upset. made the two crews who were originally full of joy and anticipation annoyed.
And the two comedies of "Nightclub" directed by Makucheng and "Hardcover Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing also got nothing, but they just came to witness the audience.
Makujo also found a helpless situation in private, that is, among the films and actors who intersected with him, except for "Police Story", which won an important award, all the others failed.
"Mr. Zombie" is not to mention, so many nominations finally got the comfort of best music, Ren Dahua's best actor sister blew, Zhou Huimin's best newcomer also flew, Zhou Yanfa waited for a few years for the best actor and failed to do so, and the rest of the best photography, best editing, and best art direction were all lost.
When Makujo connected this series, he could only touch his nose speechlessly. It's all a declining person, it's really none of my business. But fortunately, no one will be bored to study this, otherwise Makujo would have to shout helplessly in his heart.
With the laughter of the two, the car moved forward slowly, and it didn't take long to arrive at Zhou Huimin's house, and after saying goodbye to Zhou Huimin, he beckoned Qin Chong to rush to his house, and when Makucheng returned home, it was already more than 11 o'clock.
Makujo didn't go back to his room to rest, but came to the study alone and summarized his thoughts along the way, which were some of his thoughts and plans after participating in tonight's Academy Awards.
The Hong Kong Film Awards is an honorary event about Hong Kong films led by Film Fortnightly, which has been held for five consecutive years. Each year, the outstanding productions of the films released in the previous year are selected.
In the five years since its inception, great achievements have been made, and it has promoted and witnessed the development of the Hong Kong film industry in recent years. However, due to various other reasons and limitations, the current development is not very good.
Especially in terms of funding, the development of the Academy Awards has been greatly restricted. "Film Fortnightly" intends to hold such a grand event, and naturally it cannot be completed by its own financial resources. So he chose foreign cooperation, from the first year of Radio Television Hong Kong, to the second and third two years of Sing Tao Daily, and then Sing Tao Daily withdrew, and at this time, the famous Hong Kong radio worker Yu Zheng joined, with the talent and ability of the other party, looking for investment, looking for venues, and now the fourth and fifth. In the past few years, it can be said that it has been a difficult and difficult journey.
Through this participation in the ceremony, Makujo saw many shortcomings, so he has been thinking and analyzing carefully on the way back. It attaches great importance to the Academy Awards Curtain City, although it is only a difficult period of development, but that difficulty cannot stop its future glory. As long as the Academy Awards are held well, it will be a signboard of the Hong Kong film industry, and it will be a signboard set up all over the world.
Since Makujo has invested in this industry, it is hoped that it can move towards greater glory. Now that he has discovered the shortcomings of the Academy Awards, he hopes that through his own efforts, he will unite the entire industry to run the Academy Awards well and hold it as a film event comparable to the Oscars. That will be an incomparable honor for both him and the entire Hong Kong film industry.
Of course, these are his own ideas at present, and the specific implementation will not be so fast, and Makujo is not in a hurry, anyway, it is still early before the next session.
In the study, Makujo simply sorted out his previous thoughts and plans, and then put them in the safe and went straight back to the room to wash and rest.
Now that the Academy Awards have passed, the next thing is when he starts to get busy, and the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is the thing he needs to pay attention to the most at present. In order to shoot this classic movie, Makujo has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, hoping to make a breakthrough and shoot more perfectly.
