Chapter 55 Academy Awards

The Hong Kong Film Awards, which began in 1982, is an expansion and continuation of the annual film critics invited by the Film Fortnight to select the top 10 films. 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.

Compared with many film awards in the mainland and Taiwan, although the Hong Kong Film Awards have some geographical restrictions, because of the lack of a certain consciousness and formal ties, they can often focus more on the balance between business and art in the evaluation.

It's just that Li Yihua 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 have been ignored.

Li Yihua knows that from this period to the next ten years, the competition for the Academy Awards can be described as fierce. If you take the films that are not selected now, and compete with them in 20 years, 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.

Due to the good performance of "Food Truck", this year's Academy Awards received nine nominations, and it is necessary to know that the Academy Awards of this era are far less than the later awards, only fifteen awards, and one of them is a jury award.

Among the awards shortlisted for "Food Truck", the best screenplay is obviously among them, so Li Yihua was invited to participate in the Academy Awards ceremony.

"Isn't this our 30 million director?" Hong Jinbao patted Li Yihua from behind and joked, not eating at all, but sincerely wishing him.

"Brother Hong, don't tease me, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such results." Li Yihua's face was astringent, he didn't expect "Nightclub" to be so strong, and it set a new record of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Don't be modest, if your film is good, I can't help even if I want to." Looking at Li Yihua, who was red-faced, Hong Jinbao shook his head and said that he was ashamed.

"Don't talk about me, here I also want to congratulate Brother Hong for his film, which has become a favorite at the Academy Awards, and his hand will definitely be soft at night." Li Yihua was afraid that Hong Jinbao was saying something to compliment, so he quickly changed the topic and guided the Academy Awards in the evening.

"It's not thanks to you, if it weren't for your script and the help of the shooting, the movie wouldn't have been able to achieve such good results." Hong Jinbao glanced at Li Yihua with slanted eyes, and picked up the words meaningfully, the meaning was very obvious, that is, to continue to tease Li Yihua.

"Brother Hong, just spare me!" Li Yihua didn't expect Brother Hong to catch a topic, and he really had the idea of not giving up.

Li Yihua's childish expression caused Hong Jinbao to laugh, but he didn't expect Li Yihua to have a big boy. If it weren't for the childishness of the moment, Hong Jinbao basically forgot that Li Yihua was still a child, and always treated him as an equal.

"Andy, remember that we walked the red carpet together tonight." Hong Jinbao raised his eyebrows and said with a grin.

"Well, if I don't go with Brother Hong, I don't know how to enter the award ceremony yet." Li Yihua thought that he could walk the red carpet, whether it was the first time in his previous life or now, which couldn't help but make Li Yihua excited.

As soon as the evening arrived, Li Yihua wore casual clothes and took a taxi to the Academy Awards ceremony. Looking at the various brand-name cars outside, Li Yihua realized how shabby he was, it seemed that he was a taxi to the award ceremony, and it was Li Yihua himself.

As the time approaches, there are more and more stars coming to the award ceremony, looking at the big names of later generations, Li Yihua really wants to get acquainted one by one, but it is very irrational to take the liberty of bothering, not only will it not win favor, but it will also cause adverse consequences.

Just waiting and appreciating, Li Yihua finally waited for the belated brother Hong Jinbao, everyone looked at Li Yihua in casual clothes, and they all showed incredible expressions, no one thought that Li Yihua would come in casual clothes, even Hong Jinbao came in formal clothes.

"Andy, your outfit definitely stands out from the crowd." Yuan Dart reacted the fastest, patting Li Yihua on the shoulder with an admiring look.

"No one told me I had to wear formal clothes, and I didn't know anything about the Academy Awards, so I wore them as comfortable as possible." Li Yihua touched his head and looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, it was more embarrassing not to wear formal clothes.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such a careless side." Hong Jinbao looked at Li Yihua, who looked embarrassed, and also smiled.

"It's fine, at least it can attract attention." Li Yihua shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and that's what he did for such a dress.

"Okay, everyone stop laughing at Andy and start walking the red carpet." Hong Jinbao stopped everyone from joking, saw that the time was almost up, and suggested loudly.

Hong Jinbao walked in the front, followed by Cheng Long, Yuan Dart, Li Yihua, and finally the members of the Hong family class, one by one, smiling, waving to the fans on both sides, that scene is definitely quite spectacular, and this is also the scene that Li Yihua has been yearning for.

"Big brother, I love you!" "Aaron, your movements are so handsome!" "Ah Dart, I will always support you!" Listening to the enthusiastic shouts of fans on both sides, the whole scene immediately became enthusiastic, and Li Yihua was a little jealous when he watched it, when could he have so many fans.

Hung Jinbao took everyone step by step into the award ceremony, just like a general watching a military parade. Li Yihua found a chair with his name on it in the venue and sat down, and the main creators of "Fast Food Truck" sat next to him.

The awards ceremony of the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards is in a small auditorium, except for the stage at the front, which is densely packed with seats, almost to the point of people touching people, and even the empty corridor in the middle is only about half a meter wide, and it is not even as good as the New Year's Day party of a school later.

Although the environment is so simple in Li Yihua's opinion, this is really a grand event in the Hong Kong film industry, and not just anyone can participate.

The entire award stage is mainly blue, with a purple V-shaped podium rising in the middle of the blue floor, and the curtain wall behind it is a series of small light bulbs composed of a film-shaped pattern, on which are the golden characters of the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony.

All the people in succession entered the venue, and around them were basically the nominated crews and individuals, and the two rows of people in front were the last to enter, basically all of them were seniors in the film and television industry, everyone had huge energy in the circle, in addition to them, there were also some political axe personnel invited, judges of the Academy Awards, and senior executives of major companies.

As the lights dimmed, the noise in the venue gradually disappeared, and a sound entered the venue with the sound of a tight drum......
