Chapter 157: The Dark Horse of the Academy Awards (4)
was able to win the best newcomer in the first year of coming to Hong Kong, and for Wang Zuxian, this award is no worse than the best actress. 【Reading Network】(Hand-typed novel)
She went on stage very excitedly, and her expression was still unconcealable joy.
After standing on the podium, looking at his own little golden man, Wang Zuxian's nervous mood calmed down a lot. After she shook hands with Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark one by one, the good man smiled and motioned to Wang Zuxian to make a speech.
For Wang Zuxian's understanding, Tsui Hark obviously has more depth than others. This little girl has collaborated with herself in "The Emperor of Part-time Jobs". It's just that this movie is not a portrayal of emotional scenes after all, but more of a funny scene. And although Wang Zuxian is the heroine, she obviously has no outstanding performance.
And in Tsui Hark's view, this newcomer's acting skills obviously need to be sharpened in many aspects. I didn't expect her to release such a dazzling brilliance when she reached Lu Yan's hands. At least he didn't think about what Wang Zuxian would look like in ancient costumes, but after watching "A Chinese Ghost Story", he finally understood why Lu Yan bought Wang Zuxian's contract at the expense of doubling the price.
Standing on the stage and looking at the people in the audience, looking at the losers of the best newcomers, I really feel overjoyed. However, Wang Zuxian did not make a winner, victory is gratifying, but the loser is not necessarily a real failure, sometimes in a sense, failure is also a kind of wealth.
What's more, now she has only excitement left in her mind. Where else will be considered......
Wang Zuxian, who was holding the little golden man, first smiled sweetly at everyone, but the excitement between the corners of his eyebrows was difficult to hide. She slowly approached the microphone, adjusted her mood, and this time opened her mouth to speak.
"Thank you to my family for supporting me on this path. Without your silent support, I would definitely not be able to thank my brother now, in fact, my acting skills are so immature. If it weren't for my brother's constant guidance, I would definitely not be able to play this role. Thank you to all the staff of the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", thank you Director Lu, thank you to the Academy Awards for this award to me, thank you......" Speaking of the back, Wang Zuxian unconsciously sped up his speech. Her heart was pounding and pounding, and it was obviously difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart.
Just as she was about to leave quickly, Huang Baiming grabbed her very quickly and said, "Joey, we just saw that Yan Zai had something sneaking to tell you, can you reveal it?" ”
"Hmm" was suddenly stopped by Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark, which made Wang Zuxian startled. Hearing this, she suddenly laughed. It's just that she is not so immature when she first debuted, and the truth that some things should be said and some things that should not be said is very clear.
If she said what Lu Yan encouraged her, then it would be an uproar...... It's even likely to be used by some media outlets, although most people will understand that it's just a joke
"Can you not say it?"
"If you don't say it, you won't give us faces."
Seeing the two people 'persecuting' Wang Zuxian, the scene immediately burst into laughter.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zuxian blinked very playfully, and said with a smile: "Yan Zai just said, he will secretly leave first later." I won't give you a chance to slaughter him......"
After speaking, Wang Zuxian hurriedly ran off the stage.
"Haha......"
"Wang Zuxian's words are so funny"
In the end, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark could only laugh and scold. The two were tricked by a little girl, but now they are unwilling to lose the battle and say: "Sure enough, it is the husband and the wife who sing, and they feel sorry for Yan Zai so soon."
Once jokes are often made, it is obviously easy to cause misunderstandings. At least, most of the people here now have very much approval of the scandal between Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian. And those reporters think that Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark both said so, so the matter must be true. After all, the two of them are Lu Yan's guide-like existence......
The camera was obviously aimed at Lu Yan intentionally or unintentionally, but when he didn't want everyone to laugh, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hey Yanzai, you can't really be dating Joey, are you?"
"I think so, otherwise how would the two of them attend the Academy Awards together. even so openly show affection in front of the media......"
"Yes, I heard that you went back to Taiwan together, and you have met your parents on both sides?"
"Anyway, there is already conclusive evidence on the Taiwan side, Yan Zai, admit it"
"That is, what else is hidden between friends?"
Regarding Chow Yun-fat's gossip, Lu Yan finally kept silent: "Let's take a look at the next awards, be careful not to have your share."
But a lot of the time, things tend to be a little more dramatic.
There is a saying called 'The Present Times', and when it comes to Lu Yan, it becomes the 'Present Times'
Originally, when they were laughing at Chow Yun-fat and they couldn't miss the best actor, Lu Yan himself accidentally missed the best director
Lu Yan, Guan Jinpeng, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Liu Guanwei, the battle between the five. is really a dark horse, not Lu Yan. After all, with the two films "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" being shortlisted for Best Director, it should be said that the winning rate should be very large. And Kwan Jinpeng belongs to the newcomer's first cry, and Liu Guanwei fully accepts Sammo Hung as the producer to film.
Originally, when several cameras captured the expressions of several people, only Lu Yan was extremely calm.
Could it be that Lu Yan is not worried that he will not win the award at all? Or is he not hopeful at all, has no faith? This is not the mentality that an unruly director should have
When the best director was unveiled, in fact, Lu Yan had been waiting for a long time.
But the award presenter reported "Best Director - Guan Jinpeng - "Women's Heart"
Really speaking, in fact, "Women's Heart" is also very exciting. Although it was the first film, Kwan Jinpeng clearly gained great prestige. It's just that everything was swallowed up by Lu Yan's light. It wasn't until this moment that he broke through Lu Yan's light and shined
The film "Women's Heart" received rave reviews upon its release, becoming one of the highest-grossing films at the time, laying the foundation for Kwan Jinpeng. It's a pity that with Lu Yan's "A Chinese Ghost Story" covering, it has indeed lost its luster to some extent.
The film was the director's first film, and his vision for the film came from an extramarital affair between a friend and his wife, which inspired him to produce his first film, which became the highest-grossing film director of the year.
The film looks at the life of the family from the perspective of a woman, who is not only dissatisfied with her husband's infidelity and machismo, but also nostalgic for the relationship she has built up with her husband over the years. The film is full of understanding and sympathy for the heroine, but also a deep criticism of those who do not value family life and the feelings of husband and wife.
Shaw Brothers' literary films have always had a good reputation and market. But no one expected that the Shaw Brothers Company, which has gradually ceased production, would once again have such an excellent director.
The biggest upset of this year's Academy Awards has broken out, and the biggest dark horse has officially jumped up
"Your mother's" Lu Yan scolded secretly in his heart, but his expression was still calm. It's just that such a sudden change does make him a little difficult to accept. Although he was calm, his expression had already been captured by the camera.
Guan Jinpeng was extremely excited to come to the stage to accept the award, leaving Lu Yan and others lonely. Rao is Jackie Chan and them, but they didn't expect that they would not be defeated in the hands of Lu Yan. On the contrary, it was defeated at the hands of an unknown newcomer, and such a result is really difficult to accept
"Yan Zai, it doesn't matter. In fact, in everyone's mind, you are the best director."
"Yes, although Guan Jinpeng won the award, who would dare to deny "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
"They can't deny the movie, but obviously I was denied." Lu Yan exhaled and said helplessly.
It's not that he was annoyed by missing out on Best Director, it's these judges at the Academy Awards who broke his chance. Originally, he thought that he should be able to get the best director, so he made some preparations. After all, Liu Weiqiang's words and the cover interview of "Film Fortnightly" have always given him a lot of confidence.
But this scene really annoyed him
It's not just Lu Yan who is annoyed, in fact, Leslie Cheung and they are also quite helpless. Rao is Wang Zuxian, who had just won the best newcomer, also looked at Lu Yan and them very depressed.
"Lu Yan didn't win the award, it's too dramatic, right?"
"What's dramatic, in fact, he is a rookie director like Guan Jinpeng. It's just that Lu Yan's limelight is too strong, plus "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are so popular. Of course everybody looks good at him......"
"That expression just now was captured well, Lu Yan was obviously not as calm as he was"
"This is the best director, who can be calm? Didn't you look at Jackie Chan and them, they all looked depressed?"
While these reporters were capturing, they were all whispering. I have to say that Guan Jinpeng's dark horses are really unimaginable.
The most laughable thing is that the heroes and heroines of this movie are all good friends of Lu Yan. Chow Yun-fat and Chung Chu-hong...... Guan Jinpeng deliberately came over to hug Chow Yun-fat before taking the stage, and shook hands with Lu Yan very politely
Lu Yan was thinking that since the best director was missed. And what about the best screenplay? If you don't win the award, then all your plans will be ruined...... Such a situation is obviously not what he wants.
