Chapter 260: A good start
At the end of June 1982, the second Hong Kong Film Awards, which had been delayed for three months, was finally held.
In fact, the previous Academy Awards are a little different from Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, the Golden Horse Awards have a wide venue but deliberately do not set up a plot to walk the red carpet, and the Academy Awards are useless because they have been unable to find a suitable venue for walking the red carpet in Hong Kong. So it wasn't until the opening of the Hong Kong Cultural Center in 1990 that the Academy Awards began to have a red carpet link.
However, the second Hong Kong Film Awards were held in the tertiary hall of Hong Kong Baptist College, although there was no wide road in front of the hall for celebrities to walk the red carpet, but the door of the hall was large enough to squeeze a bunch of reporters to take pictures.
In particular, the co-sponsorship of the Academy Awards by Asia Television and "Film Fortnightly" this time attracted media reporters from all over Hong Kong to come and interview, and even ATV itself put a camera at the entrance of the hall to conduct live TV broadcasts with reporters.
Perhaps because Qiu Degeng is one of the bosses of the organizers of these Golden Image Awards, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai and even Lei Juekun were all present in person, and Shao Yifu was the same as when he went to the Golden Horse Awards last year, which was enough to give Qiu Degeng face.
The arrival of several film tycoons has made the shutter of reporters 'click' constantly. And Xu Ke, who has not appeared in front of the Hong Kong media for a long time, has provoked Haoyitong interrogation by reporters all over Hong Kong, because his 20 million investment movie is still being filmed.
Chenglong also came, but he walked into the synagogue alone. Chenglong has been in trouble lately, which has made him a little anxious. In May of this year, Chenglong and Lin Fengjiao's relationship was suddenly exposed by the media, and then a little girl jumped on the subway platform because she couldn't stand this 'blow' suicide note.
Immediately, this incident caused an uproar in a small half of Asia, and Golden Harvest hurriedly came out to extinguish his trump card, and ran all over Asia to ventilate the news media, asking them to stop reporting the relationship between Chenglong and Lin Fengjiao. Quan Jiahe has been busy up and down for more than a month, and finally suppressed this matter a little, and is still working hard.
But this time it was hard for Lin Fengjiao, and since then, the relationship with Chenglong has turned underground.
Hong Jingbao also came, Lin Qingxia came, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and others also came, and even the Xu brothers, who had been rumored to be at odds, also walked into the hall together. The successive appearances of celebrities from all walks of life have attracted reporters to press their shutters again and again, and also made the second Hong Kong Film Awards look much more successful than last year.
"Mr. Li, there are also many nominations for this Academy Awards, do you have anything to say?"
Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong had just arrived at the door of the hall, and they were blocked by the beautiful reporter of ATV at the door, and they couldn't help but give face to their own family, and then Li Xuan smiled and said: "It's still a clichΓ©, thank you for your support for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and myself, but I also believe that my next movie will be better, thank you!" β
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Li is full of confidence!" The beautiful reporter smiled: "I don't know how many awards Mr. Li thinks he can win this time?" β
Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and teased: "Ha, of course I want to take them all, but it is estimated that the organizing committee of the Academy Awards will not dare to do this." β
"Haha, Mr. Li is so humorous."
After casually chatting with reporters, Li Xuan and the two walked into the college hall. Looking at the bustling flow of people in the hall, Zhong Chuhong whispered: "Well, this place is much better than the Shouson Theater that held the Academy Awards last year." β
"That's natural, after all, it's three times bigger, and although it's not as good as those luxury theaters, it's still very good in Hong Kong." Li Xuan nodded beside him. ,
The auditorium of the University Hall has more than 1,300 seats, and since the lack of arts performance venues in Hong Kong at that time, the University Hall opened in May 1978 has become a major arts performance venue in Hong Kong. The University Hall has been home to a number of internationally and Hong Kong-renowned performing arts groups and individuals of various genres, including pop concerts, classical music, stage plays, TV specials and even film premieres.
So it's better than the 400-odd-odd Shouson Theater. However, it is obvious that Qiu Degeng is not a more atmospheric person, and he has not invested much money. After removing the venue fee and the cost of making the trophy for the Academy Awards, Chen Baisheng didn't have much money to invite performers.
It's a pity that Chen Baisheng resolutely refused to participate in the Academy Awards, otherwise a political order, which singer and art group in Hong Kong would dare not give face to the Hong Kong government, and it is estimated that they will be willing to do it with zero pay.
"What, Shuhua, are you a little nervous?" Li Xuan looked at Chen Shuhua on the other side and said with a smile, she walked in with Zhou Yanfa.
Chen Shuhua nodded and said softly: "It's a little, the tycoons in the Hong Kong film and television industry are here, right?" β
"Hmm......" Li Xuan turned his head to look around and said, "Not ninety percent, but eighty percent of the people are here." β
"I haven't sung in front of so many big people." Chen Shuhua said with a smile.
Li Xuan smiled: "It's okay, just wait a minute, you just sit down with turnips below." Ahββ, Ah Hong, what are you pinching me for? β
Zhong Chuhong glanced at him and said, "I'm not a radish!" β
ββ¦β¦β
A few people were joking, the lights under the stage suddenly dimmed, and the performance hall was silent, and then the deep voice of the male host came: "Welcome to the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony!" β
As he spoke, the two hosts had already stepped onto the podium. The hostess is an old acquaintance of Li Xuan, and she just hosted the Golden Horse Award winner Xiao Shushu last year. The male host is the gold medal actor and emcee of Lishi, Liu Zhirong, who is known as the 'treasure of the town'.
"Wow, Sister Shushu is amazing, she has hosted the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards!" Zhong Chuhong looked at Xiao Shushu, who was shining brightly on the stage, and said with envy.
"Heh, Sister Shushu is very powerful." Li Xuan looked at the two hosts who were talking boastfully on the stage, nodded and said, "If it weren't for the help of Sister Shushu's husband this time, Bai Sheng wouldn't have found such a good place in Hong Kong." β
Siu's second husband, Zhang Zhengpu, was an influential professor at Baptist College. This time, "Film Fortnightly" rented a college hall, and Xiao Shushu made a lot of efforts in the middle, which saved Chen Baisheng, who was short of gold and silver, a lot of money.
"Sister Shushu, what do you pay most attention to in a movie, apart from the plot, picture and actors?" Liu Zhirong asked.
"Uh......" Xiao Fangfang paused slightly, and then smiled: "No, it seems that in addition to the soundtrack or something, you told everything else, right?" β
"Haha-"
There was a burst of chuckles under the stage, Liu Zhirong pretended to pat his forehead, and then said loudly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention!" β
"Ha, you are nervous to see so many celebrities in the film and television industry at the scene." Xiao Fangfang pointed to the audience and replied, and then said: "However, the movie score is really important. Next, we have invited the famous Hong Kong composer Mr. Huang Zhan to announce the Best Film Score Award at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards, everyone is welcome! β
"Bang Bangβ"
In a burst of thunderous applause, Huang Zhan, who was in a straight suit, stepped onto the stage, but unfortunately Chen Baisheng obviously had no money to make short films at this time, so Huang Zhan had to stand on the stage and talk about the list of nominees.
"A good soundtrack can sublimate the connotation of a movie and make it better; And a bad soundtrack can ruin an otherwise excellent movie and make it spurned. Huang Zhan raised the list of nominees in his hand and continued: "The winner of the Best Film Score at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards is: "Ghost Horse Smart Star" Teddy? Robin; "Smiling Proud Jianghu" Li Xuan; "The Story of Hu Yue" Lin Mingyi; "No U-turn" Bao Bida; "Father and Son Love" Lin Mingyi. Ha, the nominees are very good, I rarely compose soundtracks, but my friend Gu Jia ......"
I don't know if the Academy Awards want to surpass the Golden Horse Awards or Hong Kong films are better than Taiwanese films, basically all the award nominees are five or more. Just the first list of nominees appeared with a double yolk egg, which surprised Li Xuan, but also felt that this Lin Mingyi was very powerful. This woman seems to be a good friend of Xu Anhua, and "Crazy Robbery" is also one of her soundtrack works.
Huang Zhan talked for a long time, and finally took out the envelope containing the list of winners, opened it and said loudly: "The winner of the Best Film Score at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards is Li Xuan of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"! β
"Bang Bangβ"
In a burst of thunderous applause, Li Xuan stood up with a smile, hugged the people around him and walked onto the stage, and then calmly walked onto the podium.
It's just that Li Xuan sighed slightly, as soon as this is off to a good start, it will be difficult to say about other awards.
(Note: The last few days have been busy, so the last few days of the month are estimated to be only one shift, don't wait.) (To be continued.) )
