Chapter 631 Lifetime Achievement Award

"Really? Come, let Sister Mei hug. ”

On the stage of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the new actress Anita Mui said this sentence in public, which stunned all the guests and audiences in the audience.

Chen Ping'an almost didn't go crazy and took two steps back.

Anita Mui smiled: "What, did you do something wrong, afraid of me?" ”

"It's not. Sister Mei, hurry up and make an acceptance speech, there are winners waiting for you later! ”

"I have to hug you before I can give my acceptance speech! When each winner comes to the stage to receive the award, doesn't he have to hug the award presenter? ”

The audience began to coax, Chen Ping'an had no choice, gave the trophy to Anita Mui, and hugged Anita Mui to congratulate.

When hugging, Chen Ping'an whispered in Mei Yanfang's ear: "Sister Mei, don't mess around." ”

"Don't worry."

Anita Mui's smile was very bright, and when the two separated, she suddenly kissed Chen Ping'an on the face, and all the audience in the audience saw it, and the camera also clearly captured this shot.

There was an uproar.

There have been many actresses who kissed Chen Ping'an in public, but tonight is the Academy Awards ceremony, and it happened again, to the surprise of all the guests and the audience, with surprises and applause coming one after another.

Many people have looked at Wang Guxian, Zhang Min, Li Jiaxin, Zhou Huimin and others, these are the heroines of Chen Ping'an's scandal, and they have all kissed Chen Ping'an in public. And today, Anita Mui is also joining in.

Seeing Chen Ping'an fleeing in the wilderness, Mei Yanfang smiled and said: "Cut, it seems that he has suffered a lot of losses!" ”

What does this mean? Could it be that Chen Ping'an and Anita Mui are real?

The entertainment industry is already very chaotic, and many things that ordinary people think are impossible have long been strange in the entertainment industry.

Even if Chen Ping'an and Anita Mui are in tow, it's not a big deal. It's just that on this occasion...... Could it be that Anita Mui wants to confess?

Chen Ping'an fled backstage, and Anita Mui smiled and began to give an acceptance speech.

"Please don't get me wrong. There's nothing between me and Ann, I'm just too happy. How do you want to express my feelings? Many people may not know that at the beginning of the year before the big year, I held a solo concert at the Red Pavilion, and Ah An attended as a guest singer.

At that time, on the stage, in front of all the fans, he promised to ask me to film, and said that he could let me win the award. At the time, I thought he was just joking, but he told me very seriously, it must be okay.

Last year's Golden Horse Awards. It's this "Rouge Buckle", I won the Best Actress award, I thought this was his promise to me, but I didn't expect him to sue me, this is not over, he said that I will win the award at the Academy Awards, and this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

Doesn't that seem incredible? I thought so at the time. But tonight, he pronounced my name, and I really won the prize! Kiss him. One is to express gratitude, and the other is to touch his blessings, haven't you seen those actors who kissed him all red? ”

When these words came out, most of the audience and guests in the audience understood Anita Mui's kiss. The two should have nothing to do with each other. Most of them are just pranks of the ever-changing queen, which is also in line with Anita Mui's character, didn't you see Chen Ping'an running away in shame?

Female celebrities kissed him before. When did he ever have this reaction?

Anita Mui's acceptance speech began with joy. But in the end, it ended in tears. Every artist who won the Best Actress, didn't that experience an experience that ordinary people can't imagine? No one's path to success is smooth.

It's a cheerful little episode. After the vignette, the award ceremony continued.

In this year's Academy Awards, due to the absence of Chen Ping'an's monopoly, many companies and many people have opportunities.

Best Actress was awarded to Anita Mui for "Rouge Buckle"; The Best Actor was won by Hong Jinbao with "Seven Little Blessings", and Zhang Guorong and Li Lianjie of Dark Horse International missed out; Best Screenplay went to Debao's "Three's World"; The best director was undoubtedly won by Kwan Jinpeng with "Rouge Buckle".

At this year's Academy Awards, Dark Horse International is still the biggest winner, but compared with previous years, other film companies have also got a lot of opportunities, and this situation is what many people are happy to see.

In the end, only the highlight of this year's awards ceremony was left - the Best Film Award.

The emcee Chen Xinjian invited the guest of honor, Tang Shuxuan, who has moved to the United States.

Known as the mother of Hong Kong New Wave cinema, Tang Shuxuan graduated from the film department of the University of Southern California in the United States and returned to Hong Kong in 69 to begin her career as a director.

She has not directed many films, and has only directed a few films such as "Mrs. Dong", "Goodbye China", "Thirteen Don't Match", and "Nouveau Riche" in the past ten years. In 79, she chose to quit the film industry at the peak of her career and immigrated to the United States to live a life of husband and children.

Although she did not have many film works and immigrated to the United States in 79, she had a profound influence on Hong Kong films, and it has continued until the emergence and rise of Chen Ping'an.

Xu Ke, Xu Anhua, Fang Yuping, Tan Jiaming...... Until now, Wang Jiawei has been influenced by her.

As a director who studied abroad and majored in film, Tang Shuxuan was a completely different director from his Hong Kong counterparts at that time. Different from the previous master-apprentice method of major companies, her vision is broader, her style is more obvious, and the means are more diverse.

For example, Zhang Shuping, Hong Kong's top art director, also has excellent editing ability, and later generations have edited many weighty movies for Wong Jiawei and Kwan Jinpeng, and his editing ability was learned when he was an assistant director for Tang Shuxuan, and he himself admitted that his art concept was somewhat influenced by Tang Shuxuan in the formation process.

In Wong Jiawei's "Mong Kok Carmen", you can also see the shadow of Tang Shuxuan's movie.

It can be said that Chen Ping'an has the same way as her, Cheng Xiaodong, Chen Jiashang, Du Qifeng and others have all served as assistant directors for him, and they have received a lot of new knowledge from him during filming. Even famous directors such as Xu Ke, Wang Jing, and Guan Jinpeng were exposed to many different directorial concepts when they were assistant directors for Chen Ping'an.

asked Tang Shuxuan to present the Best Film Award, and everyone was convinced.

In addition to her influence on Hong Kong films, there is another important reason, the organizer of the Academy Awards, "Film Fortnightly", whose predecessor "Big Close-up" was founded by Tang Shuxuan. Now many high-level executives in "Film Fortnightly" are all staff members of Tang Shuxuan's "Big Close-up".

However, Chen Xinjian's words surprised everyone.

Tang Shuxuan did not present the Best Film Award, but a new award that the organizing committee decided to temporarily add - the Lifetime Achievement Award!

Lifetime Achievement Award?

The uninformed felt strange about this sudden additional award, but the insider was full of doubts.

Shouldn't it be a professionalism award?

At this year's Academy Awards, the addition of a lifetime achievement award has long been discussed. However, there are too many genres in the Hong Kong film industry, full of all kinds of grievances, to put it bluntly, no one is convinced of anyone, why give you a lifetime achievement award first?

Therefore, after careful consideration, the organizing committee decided to launch the Professionalism Award first. Many bigwigs in Hong Kong's film companies know about this, but how did it become a lifetime achievement award now? Who are you going to give it to?

Tang Shuxuan said a few words, lamenting the changes in the Hong Kong film industry in the past ten years since he left Hong Kong, and the momentum of thriving and vigorous development is gratifying.

After taking the envelope from Miss Manners, and seeing the name on the card inside after opening it, Tang Shuxuan smiled: "But when I received the invitation of the organizing committee to be the guest of honor for the Lifetime Achievement Award, I still had doubts about who would be the first Lifetime Achievement Award winner in Hong Kong.

When I saw the name, I was finally relieved. At least in my opinion, he is definitely the most deserving of this award, because everyone sees his efforts and contributions to the continued prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry. Even in the United States, I have heard his news. I have to admit that he is a very charismatic and legendary figure.

Please hold this year's Academy Awards, and the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Mr. Chen Ping'an, will take the stage! ”

When Tang Shuxuan said the name "Chen Ping'an", almost no one thought of him. Although Tang Shuxuan's words are almost a true portrayal of Chen Ping'an over the years, he is too young.

The Lifetime Achievement Award should be awarded to older filmmakers, shouldn't it? How old is he?

Chen Ping'an was also stunned, and he didn't react until Zhou Huimin applauded hard and gently touched him.

"Me?"

"You heard me right, it's you, please come on stage." Tang Shuxuan said with a smile.

The applause rang out, and no one was unconvinced that Chen Ping'an won this award. Although many people think that he is too young, his achievements in the past few years are absolutely unprecedented in Hong Kong.

Even if there are genre disputes in the film industry, there are really no people who are unconvinced by Chen Ping'an.

Not to mention the various achievements made in Hong Kong in recent years, Dark Horse International's huge entertainment empire, just saying that he has achieved dazzling results in the United States is enough to convince everyone.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations!" Tang Shuxuan took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Ping'an and awarded Chen Ping'an the trophy symbolizing the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Thank you, Sister Tang, you can just call me A'an."

"Okay, A'an, how do you feel about winning this award?"

"Yes." Chen Ping'an paused, "Lifetime Achievement Award...... Am I too young? ”

"Hahaha!"

There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.

"Does being young have anything to do with winning awards? Looking at the international film industry, what director can appear at major film awards ceremonies several times at such a young age? And what director can win an award at your age and get a soft hand?

Two Oscar Best Films, two Oscar winners are from you, and you are the first Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Director. Although I'm in the U.S., I've heard about you in Hong Kong.

I heard that you like to dig out newcomers when the actor is unknown, and you are very accurate in looking at people, and every newcomer you tap has achieved remarkable achievements. Do you know what the one thing I did when I came back to Hong Kong? Watch every movie you've directed first.

It's wonderful, it's a classic. Many films have created a new genre and provided a broader perspective for Hong Kong counterparts. You say, is your age still related to this award? (To be continued......) R1292
