Just when Li Xuan and the two groups of Xinyicheng were still celebrating in Taiwan, the news that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" had won six awards in a row quickly spread back to Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong is a commercial society, and the Hong Kong film industry has always focused only on commercial films, its attention to the Golden Horse Awards is no less than that of filmmakers elsewhere.

In the past, although Hong Kong films were often nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, they received five or six nominations at most, and only one actually won the award in the end, which can only be said to be a very low proportion of awards. And like Li Xuan this time, he won ten nominations for the Golden Horse Awards and finally won six awards, which is the first time in the history of Hong Kong film.

Li Xuan unknowingly created a new record for Hong Kong films!

Early the next morning, Ming Pao Morning Post reported the news on the front page of its entertainment section and distributed a long commentary. And in this comment, he said: "Since the box office of Hong Kong movies exceeded 10 million last year, the entire Hong Kong film industry has risen at a lightning speed. This rise is not only the great success of the film at the box office, breaking the original box office record in a row, but also the fact that the film has achieved a commercial surname while maintaining its artistic surname to the greatest extent. The success of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" this time is a major progress made by Hong Kong films in the coexistence of commercial and artistic surnames. ”

The commentator of "Oriental Daily" may be a fan of Chenglong, and he wrote in the comment: "Although the artistic surname of the movie "Police Story" is indeed inferior to "If I Am Real", the degree of care of the director and actors of this film is comparable to that of "If I Am True". And Chenglong's performance in this movie is really amazing, the kind of helplessness, disappointment and resentment that have been buried for a long time after being forced into a desperate situation are vividly interpreted by him, making the audience feel empathy. But such an excellent film only won three nominations, and all the nominations were disappointed in the end, which has to make people have a deep regret for the Golden Horse Awards. ”

The author of this review obviously wanted to hold on to Chenglong, but unfortunately chose the wrong reference. Tam Yonglin has a lot of fans in Hong Kong, and since then, "Oriental Daily" has received many complaint letters, scolding this commentator to the blood.

Of course, that's all for later.

It's just that everyone obviously focused on how many awards "Smiling Proud Jianghu" won at the beginning, until "Film Fortnightly" specially printed a special issue of "Golden Horse Special Issue", and everyone's attention finally shifted to Li Xuan's final speech at the Golden Horse Awards that night.

There is an article in the special issue called "Golden Horse in the Next Year, Can There Be a Place for Action Design?" wrote: "When I first heard that director Li Xuan had won six awards in a row at the Golden Horse Awards, I was very excited, so I wrote a comment while watching the award video of this year's Golden Horse Awards, and when the video was finished, I stopped commenting. It was only at the last moment that I saw the video that I resolutely tore up the comment I had just written. After a long time, the contemptible ears still echoed Director Li Xuan's sentence 'In the coming year, will there be a place for action design?' ''s sonorous words. ”

Director Li Xuan's words are really shocking, yes! Will there be a place for action design in the coming year? In the early years, Hong Kong films have always been moving forward in borrowing, borrowing from Western films, and finally blending some local cultures into Hong Kong films. But I can't help but wonder if there is anything unique to us Hong Kong people among these things? ”

"Yes! I want to shout out that there is one thing that is unique to us, and that is what the martial artists and action designers who are fighting on the front line of the film are always showing in Hong Kong movies - Chinese kung fu. ”

"After decades of development of Hong Kong films, Chinese kung fu has also been deeply integrated into it. These different action designs sometimes make the movie elegant, and sometimes it makes the movie hearty. Like the thousands of schools of kung fu, Hong Kong cinema has been twisted together with this unique action design, and there is no longer any separation from each other. ”

"Thinking back to the Hong Kong movies I watched since I was a child, I can't help but sigh in my heart that action design is indeed the greatest achievement to be proud of in the Hong Kong film industry."

"Here I also ask: will there be a place for action design in the Golden Horse next year?"

As soon as this question-style commentary was published, it immediately triggered a series of earthquakes in Hong Kong. If action design can also be included in the Golden Horse Awards, how much impact will it have on Hong Kong films? Think about what are the backbone of the Hong Kong box office today. The family class, the Hong family class, the Yuan family class and the Liu family class of the Shaw Brothers, Cheng Xiaodong, the action designer of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and even the kamikaze stunt team that just attracted everyone's attention in "Police Story", can be counted among the action designers.

Action design, including almost all Hong Kong movies!

Territorial protection and pride know no region and time, so the entire Hong Kong film industry is boiling, and the voices calling for action design to join the Golden Horse Awards are also rising wave after wave. Celebrity actors and famous film critics from all walks of life rushed to tell each other, and film and television tycoons and political pioneers from all walks of life also began to move around. Li Xuan, a pioneer of action design who is not an action designer, has left a heavy mark in the history of Hong Kong cinema and martial arts.

And at the 19th Golden Horse Awards the following year, when Hong Kong filmmakers finally saw the Golden Horse Awards for Best Action Design, their faces showed a deep sense of pride.

At this moment, Li Xuan and them created history together, a history that belongs to Hong Kong films!

This moment......

Well, that's a year later, and it seems like it's too far away.

When Li Xuan and his party returned to Hong Kong the next day after a night's rest in Taiwan, they were warmly welcomed by reporters from all over Hong Kong at Kai Tak International Airport. Countless cameras and countless spotlights kept taking pictures of their pedestrians, and the reporters' questions were one after another, so tired that Li Xuan almost couldn't leave the airport.

In the next few days, even Li Xuan, the crew of "Lucky Star", handed over the affairs of Hong Jingbao to take care of, but he ushered in rounds of bizarre celebration banquets. For example, the Hong family class, the family class and the kamikaze stunt team, these action teams all invited Li Xuan to the banquet to celebrate his "Smiling Proud Jianghu" shining at the Golden Horse Awards, and they were all very affectionate to Li Xuan.

It's just that Li Xuan has only dealt with this group of people for a few days, and Wang Jin and Lin Linggu have found his side. They have only one purpose, the budget for filming is not enough. Wang Jin's "Black Man 2" has been on for a long time, in order to reassure himself and Wang Jin, Li Xuan arranged for Lin Lingdong to be his assistant director.

Li Xuan rubbed his forehead, which had a headache because of the hangover, looked at Wang Jin and Lin Linggu with some impatience and said, "How can there be not enough money?" Didn't Ah Jin write the script according to the budget? ”

Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, and said cowardly: "There was a little accident, and then the money was not enough to spend." ”

"Forehead......" Li Xuan let go of his hand and asked suspiciously: "You can't be that you didn't protect yourself well during filming and hurt people, right?" ”

"No, no, no!" Wang Jin waved his hand, glanced at Lin Linggu next to him, and then gritted his teeth and said slowly: "It was when I was shooting the interior in the hotel, I accidentally blew up a wall." ”

"Shhhh

Li Xuan gasped and asked in surprise: "You guys are filming, how can the amount of explosives blow up the walls of the hotel?" ”

"It's all my fault!" Lin Linggu raised his hand on the side, and said embarrassedly: "I said that in order to make the special effects more realistic, I asked the special effects artist to add a little more weight, and the result was ......."

"As a result, who knew that the wall would collapse so unexploded." Wang Jin said on the side.

“……”

Li Xuan felt that his head was starting to hurt again, and he hurriedly rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Then how much of your drama is left to shoot?" ”

"There were only a few shots left in the hotel, but the manager of the hotel said that he wouldn't let us shoot them without losing money." Wang Jin hurriedly explained: "So I lost the money for the wall first, and now the crew is waiting in the hotel, just waiting for me to get the money to start construction." ”

"You are so eloquent, can't you tell the manager to give him a few more shots of the hotel when the time comes, and he will sponsor it?" Li Xuan said helplessly.

"Ahem-" Wang Jin coughed lightly and said hesitantly: "The hotel manager has already taken half of the wall's money to sponsor it." ”

“……”

His grandmother's, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see what wall this hotel is so expensive, and I will hollow out your crew at once!" (To be continued.) )
