Chapter 197: Absence

The first Hong Kong Film Awards only set up five awards, namely Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress.

And this time, there are finally award presenters and trophies.

It's just that this trophy is very different from the later Academy Award trophies, but it is a copper metal "Y" shaped villain, and then a small cylinder that can rotate 360 degrees is installed at the head position to make the head. The whole trophy is very rough in workmanship, and the appearance is also ugly, giving Li Xuan the feeling that it is like a toy, and it is okay to take it back to tease the child.

And because of the lack of funds, only five of these trophies were made, and the nameplates were pasted early, which saved the hard work of those winners running backstage to change the trophies, and from this point of view, the Academy Awards are still stronger than the Golden Horse Awards......

Li Xuan was still looking at the few trophies on the hosting stage, and then heard the emcee Deng Huishi say with a smile: "Next, we invite Mr. Guan Dexing, an evergreen in the film industry, to announce the winner of the Best Screenplay of the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards and present the award to us!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang-"

There was a round of applause immediately under the stage, and Li Xuan finally came to his senses, he and Guan Dexing worked together once during the filming of "The King of Killers", and they still have a good image of this old man who has always been in good spirits.

Sure enough, as soon as Deng Huishi's words came out, Guan Dexing stepped onto the stage in a hurry, very domineering.

Everyone saw Guan Dexing standing steadily in front of the host stage, and casually opened the envelope containing the list of winners to take a look, and then looked at the people under the stage and said: "The winner of the best screenplay at the first Hong Kong Film Awards is "Mr. Zombie" - Huang Ying!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang-"

There was another round of applause at the scene, and Li Xuan also clapped his palms while patrolling the venue to find Huang Ying's figure. Although "Mr. Zombie" is a movie produced by Xuanyuan Company, Huang Ying is not Li Xuan's subordinate, this guy has been mixing well with Lishi.

It's just that......

The applause gradually weakened, but the discussion in the theater gradually became louder, but everyone applauded for a long time, but Huang Ying had not stood up yet.

There is only one possibility, that is, Huang Ying did not come to participate in this Academy Award at all!

"Wow, bh

Just when everyone on and off the stage was embarrassed, Liu Xiwei, who had just won the award, ran onto the stage and took the trophy from Guan Dexing, and then looked at the stage and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry everyone, my good friend Huang Ying is very busy because of the recent reorganization of Lishi, and he is really lacking in skills, so this award can only be received by my friend." I'm here to replace him and say a word to everyone to the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards, I'm very sorry! Of course, thank you for your affirmation and support. ”

After Liu Xiwei finished speaking, he bowed half to the stage, and then hurriedly walked off the stage with the trophy.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Although they knew that what Liu Xiwei said was nonsense, everyone still gave applause. As for the restructuring of Lishi that he just mentioned, at the beginning of this year, Lishi's British parent company failed to invest in a laundry in Canada, so it decided to shrink its business in East Asia, and just sold its shares to several Australian consortia at the beginning of this month. Now Lishi has changed the big owner, and the people up and down are panicking, and they don't know what will happen to the new owner.

After Liu Yiwei stepped down from the stage with Huang Ying's trophy, Deng Huishi invited another person named Ren Jianhui to the stage to announce the list of winners of the Best Actress.

It's just that as soon as this person came on the scene, Li Xuan looked at Lin Qingxia and smiled: "Qingxia, this is your senior." ”

"My old-timer?" Lin Qingxia was slightly stunned, but then reacted and looked at Li Xuan and scolded with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed my old-timer, I will requisition your family Ah Hong tonight, and I will rehearse a play "Imperial Flower" with her." ”

"Okay!" Zhong Chuhong immediately accosted, and she continued regardless of Li Xuan's reaction: "I haven't been to Sister Qingxia's villa yet. ”

“……”

Ren Jianhui's name sounds like a man, but this deity is indeed a woman. She is a famous Cantonese opera singer, often dressed as a man to perform Wen Wusheng, and starred in more than 300 films in the fifties and sixties, "The Emperor's Flower" is one of the more famous plays. Because Ren Jianhui mostly plays literary dramas, and she looks handsome and chic, she has no daughterhood, which also makes her the absolute dream lover of girls and aunts in the fifties and sixties in Hong Kong.

Li Xuan said at this moment that she was Lin Qingxia's senior, but she was not wrong at all.

It's just that Ren Jianhui, who is nearly seventy years old, seems to be in poor health, and after walking on the stage a little staggeringly, she directly opened the envelope and announced: "The winner of the Best Actress at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards is "Famous Sword" - Xu Jie. ”

“……”

This time, Li Xuan didn't applaud rashly, and looked at Lin Qingxia next to him who clapped his hands first, and then he applauded. In the midst of applause, a fairly innocent-looking girl walked onto the stage and took the trophy from Ren Jianhui.

This Xu Jie has nothing to do with Lin Qingxia, but Xu Jie's sister is Lin Qingxia's old opponent, and that is Xu Feng, who has competed with Lin Qingxia for the Golden Horse Awards several times. And judging from the previous results, Lin Qingxia still lost more and won less, so Li Xuan naturally didn't dare to applaud Xu Jie casually.

After Xu Jie accepted the award, the best actor was won by Lin Zhengying for the role of Uncle Nine in "Mr. Zombie", and the best film was "The First Type of Danger", so the best director was naturally Xu Ke, the director of "The First Type of Danger".

The award ceremony of the Academy Awards ended soon, but now there is no dinner after the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, let alone the lack of gold and silver in the Academy Awards. It's just that the time spent on the award ceremony of only five awards is too short, and several people from the Academy Awards Organizing Committee even put on a movie after the awards ceremony in order to make up time.

So, everyone sat in the theater and watched the foreign language film "Tess of the D'Urbervilles".

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is really a literary film, and it is also a tragedy! Li Xuan didn't like literary films in the first place, let alone tragedy. It's just that Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia are very interested in this tragic movie from the perspective of a woman, but he can't slip away halfway.

After watching half the game, Li Xuan really couldn't stand it anymore, and found that Chen Baisheng was still sitting silently in the front row, so he quietly slipped over.

"That ghost guy Kita is gone?" Li Xuan sat next to Chen Baisheng and asked.

"Hmm."

Chen Baisheng nodded and took his gaze off the screen, looked at Li Xuan and smiled: "What, are you still afraid of him?" ”

"Nonsense!" Li Xuan's eyes widened, and he said quite unconvinced: "I am not a political axe official, and second, I have not bribed others, I am afraid that he will do something......

Chief Secretary for Administration, Kee Tat, is a British, and his status in Hong Kong is only below that of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose. However, before Ji Tat became the chief secretary for administration, he was Hong Kong's first commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption was set up by this guy. So this guy is very prestigious among the Hong Kong people, and he can be described as a modern foreigner Bao Qingtian!

Li Xuan was too lazy to talk to Chen Baisheng about Ji Da anymore, so he patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Hey, Baisheng, what are the shortlisting criteria for your top ten Chinese films?" ”

"Standard?" Chen Baisheng was slightly stunned, and then said: "Where is the standard, we all send ballots to film critics and let them vote for themselves, if you want to talk about the standard, then this standard is too big." ”

“……”

Chen Baisheng's sentence blocked Li Xuan's next questions. Li Xuan sighed speechlessly, and then silently returned to his seat.

"Hey, you two won't really rehearse "Imperial Flower", will you?" Li Xuan knocked on his car window, looked at the two women in the car and asked.

"yes." Zhong Chuhong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, replied very seriously, and then waved his hand and said, "We have requisitioned this car tonight, so you can take a taxi back by yourself." ”

"Hey, or I'll ...... too"

"Uhhh

Li Xuan had just thought in his heart, but he had only said half of this, and Zhong Chuhong had already started the car. After a roar of the engine, Li Xuan was left alone in the same place.

"When will this be able to live a life of hugging left and right!" Li Xuan sighed helplessly, and then prepared to take a taxi, but he was stunned as soon as he took one foot.

At the gate of the art center not far ahead, Chen Huishi, the female emcee of the Academy Award, was walking out hand in hand with a man.

And that man is Zhang Guorong...... (To be continued.) )
