Chapter 709. Justice of the Peace
readx;
In contrast, "Waiting for the Dawn" starring Zhou Yunfa starring in "Waiting for the Dawn" is full of literature and art, and it can be said that it is the judges' favorite, and Chen Xiaotang, his performance in "Uncle" can be described as "amazing", good acting skills and good scripts are not exciting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
These three super acting schools have made many judges and audiences feel headaches, and no matter who chooses, they feel sorry for the other two. But on the whole, Zhou Runfa's voice is the highest, because he is shooting a "literary" film, and he is acting in the style, according to the petty bourgeois complex in the bones of the Academy Awards, he wants both the box office and fame, to put it bluntly, he is like a prostitute ~ a woman, he wants to be a bitch and wants to set up an archway, so in the difficult trade-off, Zhou Runfa undoubtedly has the biggest advantage.
At this moment, on the awards stage, the Chinese actor Jiang David finally opened the envelope with the actor's name in anticipation.
Everyone looked at him,.
Watching him deadly.
He glanced at it, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face, which quickly melted----
Offstage, everyone held their breath, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Chen Xiaotang closed his lips nervously.
Li Xiuxian nervously loosened his tie.
Fa Ge, who had the highest voice, bit his fingers nervously.
The other audience members at the scene also tightened their hips, endured and endured their excitement, waiting for the announcement of the results.
"It must be Brother Xiu, whom I admire, he plays the police thief!"
"Fat boy, it must be a fat boy! I'm optimistic about him, he is definitely the acting school of the future! ”
"Ah Tang, rise up, we will top you, from your debut to the present, we are all your loyal fans, oh yes!"
Everyone was muttering and muttering in their hearts. Guessing---
At the awards, the Chinese actor Jiang David, who was the guest of honor, finally began to read: "I announced that the winner of the Best Actor at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards was ......"
He glanced at Zheng Zeshi, then Li Xiuxian, and then swept over Chen Xiaotang. In the end, it fell on Zhou Runfa.
"Pick. You mean! Zhou Yanfa was excited, and roared in his heart.
Others even began to scold their mothers.
And Jiang David also blinked his eyes slightly, turned his head, and then said loudly: "Chen Xiaotang---- "Uncle"!" ”
"Holy,. No way? Zhou Yunfa almost fell, looked at Chen Xiaotang who jumped up in disbelief and fell into ecstasy, and then closed his eyes with difficulty.
Lost, I lost!
Zhou Yanfa was extremely disappointed in his heart. Depressed, incredulous, and a little jealous---
For the throne of the actor, it can be said that Fa Ge has been determined to win it from the beginning, although he has always emphasized that Chen Xiaotang is his opponent, but in fact, in his opinion, his biggest opponent is Li Xiuxian, after all, Chen Xiaotang is a little weaker than himself in terms of qualifications, but he never thought of it. His best friend suddenly won in the end, how could he be embarrassed?!
It turns out that the Academy Awards don't believe in seniority.
It turns out that the Academy Awards don't believe in tears.
Fa Ge suddenly understood this, but it was too late.
Compared with Fa Ge's loss and depression, Chen Xiaotang was inexplicably excited.
He still can't believe his ears. Instinctively, there was a crackle in his ears and applause, and he took a step forward, not directly on the stage, but walked to Fa Ge's side. Then he hugged Fa Ge.
Chen Xiaotang leaned into Fa Ge's ear and said happily: "I won." ”
Fa Ge collected his mood and tried to squeeze out a smile. Envy and jealousy patted him on the back: "Congratulations, kid, ran in front of me!" ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled: "You will get it sooner or later!" ”
Fa Ge nodded and smiled: "I hope so!" ”
Chen Xiaotang turned around and hugged several other competitors, Brother Li Xiuxian, as well as Zheng Zeshi, and Brother Cheng Long.
When hugging Brother Cheng Long, Brother Cheng Long slapped Chen Xiaotang with an "iron sand palm" with some envy, and said, "Treat, don't run away!" ”
Chen Xiaotang: "Definitely! Then he walked on stage for the second time in high spirits.
Under the stage, everyone gave him a warm round of applause and congratulated him on winning the award. "The reason for his award is: he broke through himself, released his acting skills, and vividly interpreted a cold-faced and hot-hearted man in an iron-blooded and tender way." After Jiang David finished speaking, he presented the trophy to Chen Xiaotang, and then silently stepped aside and gave the microphone to Chen Xiaotang. "I ......" Chen Xiaotang trembled and stroked the trophy in his hand, but he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.
"First of all, I want to thank myself for writing such a good drama for myself!"
"Huh!" People laughed.
"Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this play, it was you who helped me, and this trophy also has your credit!" Chen Xiaotang held the trophy high.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Xiaotang was going to finish briefly this time, Chen Xiaotang changed his words and said: "Brother Jiang David said just now that we are the back waves of the Yangtze River, but with the passage of time, our back waves will also become front waves." In order to find comfort for my old self in the future, and to give encouragement to all the workers who have dedicated their lives to film, I propose that the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards set up an award, called the Lifetime Achievement Award, to reward those who have made great contributions to the Hong Kong film industry and Chinese films! ”
Chen Xiaotang's unexpected "proposal" immediately shocked everyone.
Lifetime Achievement Award?!
Sounds pretty powerful!
Especially those filmmakers of the older generation were even more moved by Chen Xiaotang's proposal and tickled their hearts.
Yes, we have struggled all our lives and dedicated everything to the movie, why don't we set up an award for these old guys?
The Lifetime Achievement Award sounds great.
"I know this proposal is a bit abrupt, but in view of the needs of Hong Kong films, in order to recognize the efforts of the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers, I think such an award here is necessary, what do you think?!" Chen Xiaotang asked the organizing committee of the Academy Awards and many film company bigwigs.
"Huh?" First of all, the sixth uncle, who was the big boss of the Shaw Brothers, was stunned for a moment, and the other people were the same, they all became interested, and looked at Chen Xiaotang with blazing eyes, hoping that he would continue to speak quickly.
"This award is about more than just actors. There are also behind-the-scenes producers, producers, photographers, etc., that is, as long as they have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong films. You can all get such an award. Chen Xiaotang continued: "This is a purely spiritual award. In other words, we only look at the winners' contributions and influences on Hong Kong films, and the rest is not considered, as long as you are recognized by everyone. Be recognized by everyone, and when you grow old, you can receive this incomparably glorious Lifetime Achievement Award! ”
What Chen Xiaotang said was sonorous and powerful, and every word was sound.
In fact, the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of the Hong Kong Film Awards will not be established until the 14th time, that is, ten years before it will officially appear.
It can be said that the Lifetime Achievement Award is a grand prize of the Academy Awards. To recognise those who have made significant contributions to Hong Kong. It can also be said that the Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest tribute award for Hong Kong films, and the people below will stand up and salute when they win the award!
In the future, there will be Huang Manli, Bai Xuexian, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Liu Jialiang, Xiao Fangfang, Li Xiaohuan and others.
The winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award are those who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of Hong Kong films, the development of Hong Kong films, and the participation in the production of Hong Kong films. In general, it is a person with special significance, not a famous person.
The award, which originally appeared ten years later, was now proposed by Chen Xiaotang ten years in advance, which can be imagined. How strong the shock was for all the filmmakers off the stage.
Especially like Shao Daheng of the film company, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, and Hong Zuxing of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, etc., they are even more excited.
Why?!
Because the award proposed by Chen Xiaotang is obviously tailor-made for these "old filmmakers"!
On the development and contribution to Hong Kong films. Who has Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Art City, and the Academy Awards Organizing Committee?!
On qualifications. One of the best in the entire film circle, and the qualifications are just on the list.
Wheel age. Everyone is also fifty or sixty, seventy or eighty, although they are not old, but they are also slowly old.
"Then I want to ask a question, is this award only for Hong Kong people?" Zou Wenhuai Boss Zou couldn't help it, stood up and asked. And this question of his happened to be what Shao Daheng also wanted to ask.
"It's not!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "I said that we want to commend those elderly people who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong films, so even if the Governor of Hong Kong, if he has made great contributions to the development of Hong Kong films during his tenure, he can also receive such an award!" Chen Xiaotang intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Hong Kong Governor Youde on the guest seat.
Hong Kong Governor Youde originally thought that this "Lifetime Achievement Award" was in charge of his own, but he didn't expect it...... This immediately turned into a good thing.
"Dear Chen, are you saying that this award will be regardless of race and nationality, as long as you are qualified, it will be OK, right?" Youde Lao'er really got into the trap.
Chen Xiaotang nodded, "Therefore, this award will be very important, and the gold content is also the highest among all awards!" At the time of the award, all of us filmmakers should stand up and salute together to show respect and admiration! ”
"Oh, it's so good, I love it!" Old Youde praised.
The more Chen Xiaotang said that this award was extremely important and noble, the more it seduced some people to drool.
Wow, this award is amazing!
"So, how is this award chosen?" The big guy Zou Wenhuai swallowed and spat at the mouth and continued to ask.
"Quite simply, the Academy Awards judges can nominate candidates based on their actual situation, and the final choice is in the hands of all filmmakers. Because everyone understands people and works in the same circle, who has the greatest influence on Hong Kong films, the big guys know it, so there should be no objection to this. Of course, for the sake of fairness, we will solicit opinions from a wide audience through re-examination after nomination, so as to ensure fairness, openness and fairness! ”
Chen Xiaotang's words made everyone nod.
Yes, such an important award needs to be cautious. After all, to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award is equivalent to being recognized by the entire film industry as the most noble and outstanding filmmaker.
"What do you think?" Chen Xiaotang's eyes are on Shao Tycoon, Zou Wenhuai. Lei Juekun and Hong Zuxing patrolled back and forth between the four of them, and the focus was on Shao Daheng. Because he knew that if he wanted this award to be established, then if Shao Daheng didn't agree, their idea would only be scrapped.
After all, Shao Daheng is the first person in Hong Kong films, the former movie emperor, and has dominated Hong Kong for 30 years, if he nods. Don't say that other film companies, even if the Academy Awards Organizing Committee has to give him face to the old man, not to mention that he is the first person most qualified to receive the "Lifetime Achievement Award", if he doesn't nod, who is still qualified? The most important thing is Shao Daheng's influence at home and abroad. Almost unmatched.
Zou Wenhuai and the three looked at each other. Then he looked at Shao Tycoon with a solemn face, and it was obvious that they had handed over the decision to Shao Tycoon.
Shao Daheng silently glanced at the people who hoped for it, then stood up and said, "This proposal." I agree! ”
In a short sentence, it seemed to detonate thunder.
People of insight at the scene of "Pala, Pap La......" applauded vigorously, and the hosts of various TV stations also expressed their feelings at this moment.
The host of Hong Kong TVB clapped his hands and said: "The development of Hong Kong films requires the efforts of several generations, and the release of the Lifetime Achievement Award will undoubtedly bring greater motivation to more filmmakers!" ”
The host of Taiwan~Wan Huashi TV said enthusiastically: "Chinese films have developed to this day. There are the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Taiwan ~ Bay Golden Horse Awards that follow behind, but compared with the growth of the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards are a little inadequate, and the reason for this is because we don't have people like the big star Chen Xiaotang who have the courage to put forward opinions! ”
Fuji TV: "Sodersnay! We have to admit that Hong Kong films have really distanced ourselves from each other, and while we are still working how to shoot commercial films that are the best at the box office, they have shifted some of their eyes to the improvement and encouragement of the Academy Awards. Yes. The concept of the Lifetime Achievement Award is very attractive to both Hong Kong and Japanese filmmakers, because it is an affirmation of history! ”
The host of South Korea's KBS TV station cried with a sad face and a look of loss. "Smecta! is still the same sentence, it is not okay to do it behind closed doors, we should be on par with Hong Kong movies and their Academy Awards! We also want to encourage our filmmakers to keep up the good work. We're also going to set up a Lifetime Achievement Award! Only in this way will our filmmakers be like they have a motor. Lots of power! ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
A seemingly ordinary award setting, and a casual suggestion for Chen Xiaotang, a very ordinary event in the future Hong Kong film industry, but it has caused an uproar in the world, such as representatives of all levels of Hollywood who are watching TV, they feel in their hearts that the Hong Kong Film Awards are on par with their Oscars, or they are desperately catching up.
The Hong Kong Film Awards also set up a Lifetime Achievement Award, can they have fun?!
Hats off to the older generation of filmmakers?!
Hong Kong filmmakers are too arrogant!
The voices of these Hollywood people, but vaguely, they feel that the pace of each other's development seems to be a little too fast.
In a burst of warm applause, Chen Xiaotang, who had finished making suggestions, walked off the stage and sat down, and the applause behind him was still endless. This is everyone's recognition and praise for his suggestions, and it is also an encouragement for him to dare to put forward opinions on the spot.
"Pick, Ah Tang, I don't think you're here to accept the award today, but to make suggestions!" As soon as Chen Xiaotang's buttocks sat down, the fat man Wang Jing quipped.
"Look at you, people come to the stage to accept the award just to say a few words of gratitude, and then it's a big deal to thank their own mothers and parents, and thank the government; But it's good for you, first to help the screenwriters fight for their rights, and this time to help the old filmmakers fight for encouragement, do you say you are tired? ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Someone has to do these things, right?" ”
"Well said, dear Chen! You are a person who has the courage to eat crabs! Governor Youde came over.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Governor!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Haha, I should thank you, you gave us people the opportunity to contribute to Hong Kong films!" Old Youde smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm afraid that as soon as your Lifetime Achievement Award comes out, many ghosts like me will do more about Hong Kong movies!" So, dear Chen, I understand your ambitions! Governor Youde said this with a smile.
"Really?" Chen Xiaotang looked at him with a smile and asked, "Then tell me, what is my ambition?" ”
"Hehe~" Old Youde laughed, then leaned over and said: "If you want to make the Hong Kong Film Awards a world-class award that can compete with the Oscars, then, the efforts of filmmakers, especially those old filmmakers, are necessary, but how can everyone fight for it for a lifetime?" This Lifetime Achievement Award is a decoy. It's a big bait, enough for anyone like me to be tempted! ”
"Say, am I right, dear Chen?" Yude blinked.
"You deserve to be a politician,!" Chen Xiaotang gave a thumbs up and praised: "I'm afraid that other people don't understand my hard work!" Hehe. I didn't think of you, a layman, but I thought of it all at once. You're so clever! ”
Youde smiled "haha", then shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm tall, it's that you've always been so shrewd and always makes some inexplicable gimmicks." To be honest, you are really a loss as a filmmaker, it is better to come to the political circles to develop, maybe you may be called the first Chinese governor of Hong Kong in the future! ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled, "You are also exalting me too much." Politics is too complicated for me, I'm a very simple person, I like to make movies, do pranks, and surprise you from time to time like this......"
"Be modest, Chen, you're too modest!" Old Youde shook his head and said, "If you really want to go into politics." I can open the back door for you, well, get you a Justice of the Peace first, and then turn ......"
Faint!
Chen Xiaotang suddenly felt like he was in cahoots with this old man Youde, selling his official beard.
"Ahem. Don't worry about being distracted, I'm also one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong now, as for the title of Justice of the Peace, it's not comparable, let's leave it to those who come after me! ”
Chen Xiaotang's impression of the "Justice of the Peace" seems to be a few good birds. Most of them are capitalists, or nouveau riche. likes to go to prisons to inspect and engage in some face-saving projects, and the description of them in film and television dramas is very exemplary. For example, the TV series "Barefoot Gentleman", as well as the movie "King Li", especially the Justice of the Peace in "King Li", is simply extremely bad, treating the prisoners in prison as private property and hard work, and brutally and bloodily oppressing them.
In fact, Chen Xiaotang definitely misunderstood the concept of "Justice of the Peace".
It is important to know that there are three types of Justices of the Peace in Hong Kong: official Justices of the Peace, non-official Justices of the Peace, and Justices of the Peace in the New Territories. All three titles were used until the last time they were awarded before the return.
The main duties of a Justice of the Peace are to inspect detention institutions such as prisons, receive complaints from detainees, and avoid the imposition of sentences other than court sentences on detainees by the correctional authorities. Justices of the Peace can also supervise and receive oaths and declarations from members of the public to give legal effect, the most well-known example of which is to supervise the results of each **Lottery draw together with representatives of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Grantees.
Like other honours conferred by the Hong Kong Government or the former British Government of Hong Kong, a person appointed as a Justice of the Peace may have the word "JP" added to his or her name as part of his or her official title. In Hong Kong, the general public regards being a Justice of the Peace as a status symbol, and many members of the community are keen to donate money or take up public office in order to be appointed as a Justice of the Peace.
To put it bluntly, in a word, a person who can be awarded the title of Justice of the Peace by the British government of Hong Kong, especially by the Governor of Hong Kong, can be said to be rare but not sought, but Chen Xiaotang is very bloody to resign such a fragrant dumpling, so it is said that the model drama kills people!
Hong Kong Governor Youde was obviously stunned by Chen Xiaotang's "I don't know what to do", damn, many people kowtow to me for the title of Justice of the Peace and ask me, I didn't give it to you, what is the reason? !
How did Old Man Youde know that Chen Xiaotang was directly a political idiot, and he didn't know anything about such a preferential title.
"Ahem, dear Chen, I heard you right, you don't even want the title of Justice of the Peace?" Youde looked at Chen Xiaotang with a surprised gaze, the fat man next to him was dying, if possible, he hated to kick someone hard, damn it, let you pretend to be high!
Chen Xiaotang watched the fat man and Youde react like this, and seemed to feel that he had missed something, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he couldn't be cheeky and regret it, so he had to say: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me!" ”
Sir Youde sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity! It looked like Chen Xiaotang had gone away.
Chen Xiaotang glanced at the fat man suspiciously, and the fat man was raising his middle finger at him fiercely.
Chen Xiaotang suddenly felt as if he had really done something wrong!
