In the tide of applause, Chow Yun-fat walked briskly to the stage to accept the award.

Tan Yilin and Chow Yun-fat hugged and congratulated them sincerely: "Congratulations, you have finally made a name for yourself." Chow Yun-fat nodded again and again, sighing with emotion. In the past few years, his career has been at a low point, almost every film has been acclaimed, and the box office has failed miserably, almost no one dares to ask him to film, and some people even gave him the nickname "box office poison", which made him depressed to death.

But now, this "poison hair" finally raised his eyebrows, proved himself with a "little brother", and proved himself with a "True Colors of Heroes". Self-redemption feels so wonderful.

"Thank you, Uncle Chang." Chow Yun-fat and He Guanchang shook hands warmly, and He Guanchang smiled: "Keep working hard!" Just go down with Tan Yilin and give the stage to this new "actor".

Chow Yun-fat grabbed the trophy in his hand, and suddenly he didn't know what he should say, because he didn't have the lines to prepare his acceptance speech. In his mind, there is no doubt that "The True Color of Heroes" is excellent, but Dillon plays it too well, and most of the best actor will be Dillon's bag.

Who would have thought that it would hit him on the head?

But I have to say a few words, Zhou Yanfa held back for a long time, and finally cleared his head: "I have to thank Brother Long, in the process of filming, he taught me a lot, how to act, how to be a person." I also have to thank Rong Shao, he told me that men still have to be handsome before girls like them. ”

The underground hall burst into laughter, and many reporters even gossiped, could it be that Zhou Yanfa and the handsome guy Zhang Guorong had quarreled and were jealous. And a fiasco?

Zhang Guorong smiled helplessly, are you jealous that your buddy is more handsome than you?

"I also have to thank Director Yang Lin, Lin Shao. I love you! ”

This is the second scene after Zhang Guorong in which the protagonist says "I love you" to Yang Lin, which shows Yang Lin's usual attitude on the set and his position in the minds of these people.

Approachable, revered and loved.

Chow Yun-fat touched the trophy in his hand, and felt that if he stepped down like this, he would say a little little. I don't know when I'll be able to stand on this stage again. In the end, I had to improvise the classic lines of "The True Colors of Heroes" to apologize: "I have been nominated for two times, and I have worn 'Kicking the Dead Rabbit' for three times." I've waited three times, why didn't I get this award until tonight when I wasn't mentally prepared and dressed the most casually? I'm sorry. ”

The audience burst into laughter, and Chow Yun-fat smiled and stepped off the stage with warm applause.

These words are not just casual words. At the time of the first Academy Awards. Among all the people in the film industry who participated, only he and Hui Yinghong wore dresses; Although he was not nominated for the 3rd Academy Awards, he still dressed solemnly and went on stage to receive the "Best Newcomer" for the absent Zheng Yuling; As for the 4th Academy Awards, he was finally nominated, so he continued to wear "Kick the Dead Rabbit" to participate, but the result was still unsuccessful...... But now, he is filming "The Story of Rose" in Paris, and he asked director Yang Fan for leave to come, but he was unprepared to wear a jacket and jeans on stage to accept the award.

The tuxedo is "tuxedo" in English, and Hong Kong people love to call it "kicking the dead rabbit".

The next award is the Best Director Award.

The guests on stage this time became Yan Hao, the winner of the last Best Director, and Zhang Che, the great director.

Speaking of Zhang Che. is definitely a brilliant figure in the history of Hong Kong film, and one of the most influential figures in the Hong Kong music scene. Hong Kong people call him "the hero of Hong Kong film". His contribution to Hong Kong cinema. I'm afraid that even today's Tsui Hark and Wong Kar-wai are beyond their reach. In the first golden age of Hong Kong cinema, Zhang Cheh's name was thunderous, and the films he directed were a guarantee of the box office, and he deservedly became the number one signature director of the Shaw Brothers.

As the head of the new school of martial arts films, in the process of creating a new wave of martial arts, Zhang Che has discovered many martial arts superstars, martial arts instructors and famous directors, such as the famous Hollywood director John Woo, martial arts director Liu Jialiang, actors Dillon, Wu Ma, Li Xiuxian, Jiang David, Wang Yu, Chen Guantai, Luo Lie, Chen Huimin, Fu Sheng, Di Wei, etc. The superstars of his disciples and the wave of masculine martial arts in Hong Kong created by him have influenced several generations. Zhang Che is a generation of grandmasters of modern Chinese martial arts films, his films have masculine beauty, bloody martial arts scenes are addictive, but not dross, they are full of a sense of justice to eliminate violence and peace, worry about the country and the people, and avenge the people.

With the suspension of Shaw Brothers, Zhang Che, who has passed the age of six, has quietly faded out of the film industry recently, and his works are becoming fewer and fewer. With the arrival of the second glorious era of Hong Kong films, it is also the moment when the curtain comes down for the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers. There are talents from all generations, and they have been leading the way for more than ten years, the reality is so ruthless, and this is the inevitability of social development.

At the Academy Awards in April 2002, Zhang Che received the Lifetime Achievement Award. In the second year of the Academy Awards (1983), he hobbled to the Academy Awards office and proposed to add an award called "Best Movement Direction". Since this year, there has been an additional "Best Action Direction" at the Academy Awards, and the first winners were Sammo Hung, Lin Zhengying and Yuen Biao ([Loser]). The Lifetime Achievement Award is a very interesting award, and the person who gets it can make up his mind even if he does not have a coffin, and the glory is a little embarrassing. On the day of the award, almost all the disciples were present. Zhang Che did not come to the scene due to physical reasons, and the Golden Statue Organizing Committee sent someone to his home to present the trophy.

Three months later, everyone was amazed at the timeliness of the award. On June 22, 2002, director Zhang Che passed away. The funeral was held on July 7, and a group of disciples met again, and no one expected it to be so soon. At the memorial service, when Wang Yu's heroic demeanor read out Zhang Che's life, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help crying, and Jiang David comforted her on the side. But when he himself walked on stage, he didn't say a word and couldn't cry. It is only said that their group of children have never been officially recognized by Zhang Che as Qi Zai, but today, on behalf of all the senior brothers, he called Director Zhang "Qi Ye". After speaking, he took his brothers and sisters to kowtow to Zhang Che's portrait, and everyone present was moved.

Zhang Che wrote a poem before his death. As a summary of his film career: Luotuo Jianghu is a light sword, and good looks and good doctors are nameless. What happened to Jin Zicheng in the Southern Dynasty? It's only for the silver screen.

Zhang Che is a generation of martial arts movie giants and can be called the originator of modern martial arts movies.

Sixty-year-old man. His hands were a little shaky, but his back was still straight, and his spirit was still strong. He raised the envelope in his hand and said with a smile: "In my eyes, this award is the foundation of Hong Kong films and the future of Hong Kong films." As long as each one becomes the best director. That's the glory of Hong Kong films. The director is the foundation and pillar of the film, and there is a good director. Only then can there be good films, only good actors. Hehe, when I'm older, I always can't help but want to be verbose. Below. Let's see. Who was nominated for Best Director? ”

He opened the envelope and glanced at it, then handed it to Yan Hao with a smile.

Yan Hao hurriedly took it, looked at the name on the envelope, and read: "The nominees for Best Director at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards are: Cheng Long, "Police Story"; Liu Guanwei, "Mr. Zombie"; Zhang Wanting, "Illegal Immigration"; Guan Jinpeng, "A Woman's Heart". and, Yang Lin. "The True Color of Heroes"! ”

After reading the nomination, Yan Hao respectfully returned the opportunity to announce the final winner to Zhang Che.

Zhang Che smiled, took the envelope but didn't look at it, and said directly and loudly: "The winner of the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards is - guess who it will be?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and it took a while for a loud burst of laughter. Zhang Che has always been very rigorous and serious, and it is rare that there is such a time when childlike innocence is overflowing and making small jokes, which makes everyone a little uncomfortable for a while.

Cheng Long stared at the envelope in Zhang Che's hand, and his heart had already risen to his throat. "Mr. Zombie" is good, but the subject matter is limited, the influence is inevitably not enough, and Liu Guanwei himself has nothing outstanding, but the script is well written. As for the two movies "Illegal Immigrant" and "Women's Heart", he didn't pay attention to it. From the very beginning of this Academy Awards, Cheng Long noticed that the atmosphere was completely different from before.

In the past, they all tried their best to hold up those literary films, and action movies could only win dispensable awards such as recent action design and best supporting actor. But the fact that the Best Actor was actually competed by Zhou Yunfa and himself shows that the commercial film has been valued by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.

Then it is likely that the best director will be selected among commercial films, and perhaps the best film in the end will finally return to literary films.

Then, the only one who can compete with himself for the best director is Yang Lin!

In the face of Yang Lin, Cheng Long was confident, but he had no bottom. The reason for everything is that "The True Color of Heroes" is too strong!

In "Police Story", Jackie Chan showed everyone his all-round development strength, and showed people his infinite love for kung fu movies with blood and sweat, even at the cost of his own life.

For "Police Story", Cheng Long is extremely satisfied. However, Yang Lin is too demonic! "The True Color of Heroes" won the Best Screenplay Award, which already shows the excellence of this movie. However, more than that, I have watched "The True Color of Heroes" no less than three times, except for the first time, the other two sides have been watched with a fault-finding attitude, and have not missed any shots or details! It is a pity and admiration that he did not jump out of the slightest fault. Both the shooting technique and the plot structure are infinitely close to perfection.

That's the scariest thing! How can there be no mistakes and omissions?

But Yang Lin did it.

Compared with Jackie Chan, Yang Lin is much more relaxed. It's not that he doesn't care about this best director, but he has 10,000 reasons to believe that he will have countless opportunities to win this award. Is it necessary to ensure that the best director of every session from beginning to end wins? That's just a dream. Even if Yang Lin shoots the best films of every year, it is impossible to monopolize a certain award. Even for balancing reasons, it is impossible to give it all to one person. The Academy Awards have been opened in your house, but others can't play anymore?

But all the people of Red Star Pictures, including the crew of "The True Color of Heroes", don't think so. In their opinion, even if they don't get this award in the next few years, they will win it this time. These important awards are one of the hard indicators that mark the rise of Red Star Pictures as a giant in Hong Kong's film production industry.

Zhang Che looked at the crowd with a smile, whetted everyone's appetite, and then said slowly: "Since you can't guess, then I'll announce it directly." The winner of the Best Director at this Academy Awards is "The True Color of Heroes", Yang Lin! ”

"Whew-"

The area where the Red Star Picture was located erupted in earth-shattering cheers, followed by thunderous applause from the audience.

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, but then calmed down, this result is really normal. Of course, if he really loses to Cheng Long, it will not be an accident.

Yang Lin hugged the excited people around him one by one and walked to the front desk. When passing by the crew of "Police Story", Cheng Long stood up quite gracefully, did not hide his disappointment, and said: "It's a pity, but I sincerely congratulate you Alin, you are really great, I am convinced." ”

Yang Lin hugged him, smiled and patted Cheng Long's back: "There is also a best film, don't be discouraged, I guess I don't have much hope." Why care too much about gains and losses? In the future, there will be opportunities to work together and work together! ”

Cheng Long laughed, nodded again and again, let go of Yang Lin, and watched his tall figure step onto the radiant stage. At this moment, Cheng Long suddenly had a trace of illusion in his heart for no reason, as if he felt that he could only follow behind that tall figure and move forward all the way, but he would never have a chance to surpass.

Yang Lin bowed deeply to Zhang Che, which is not only a respect for his elders, but also the purest gratitude to a Hong Kong person who has dedicated his life to Hong Kong movies and brought countless glories to Hong Kong films. At the same time, the applause from the audience became more enthusiastic, and everyone stood up together to pay the highest respect to this Hong Kong film veteran.

Zhang Che waved his hand again and again, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. This deep bow and the applause from the audience are the greatest affirmation of him. At this point in life, it should be satisfied. He stretched out his hand to support Yang Lin's shoulder and saw him pull it up, looked at the young and handsome face in front of him with a smile, and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a young handsome, the future of Hong Kong movies is on your shoulders, work hard, young man, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Yang Lin was taught, took the trophy from Zhang Che's hand, and shook hands with Yan Hao with a smile.

waited until Zhang Che and Yan Hao walked off the stage before turning around to face the crowd below.

For a while, thoughts were like a tide, with many ups and downs. (To be continued......)
