Chapter 150: Golden Horse Awards (I)
"The winner of the 42nd Best Original Screenplay is."
In the Keelung Cultural Center in Keelung City, Taiwan, Li Mingshun opened and unfolded the envelope in his hand and handed it to Fan Wenfang, Fan Wenfang smiled and said: "The winner is "The winner", speaking of which, the two said in unison very tacitly: ""Crazy Stone" Ning Hao. ”
"I won the award, and I won the award." Ning Hao couldn't believe what his ears heard at all, but when he saw that everyone around him was looking at him, even if he didn't believe it, he knew that it was true, he really won the award, and a joy to the extreme surged into his heart, and he suddenly hugged the handsome young man beside him who was smiling and looking at him: "Thank you, Yuquan!" ”
"It's not the right time for you to tell me this, aren't you going to wait for the meeting to stop talking, come on stage to receive the award!" Lin Yuquan blinked with a smile.
Ning Hao nodded with tears in his eyes, got up and shook hands with Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Zhen Zidan, Liu Dehua and others, and then strode towards the podium in the warm applause of the guests and the audience. And what I need to thank most is my friend Lin Yuquan, who is also the investor of the movie "Crazy Stone", without your trust, (without your full support for me, I would not have won this award.) ”
The applause of the crowd suddenly rang out like a tide.
After finishing his speech, Ning Hao returned to the audience and sat down next to Lin Yuquan, and said to Lin Yuquan again with great gratitude: "Thank you, Yuquan!" ”
"This is the third time you've said this to me tonight. You didn't bother. I'm tired of hearing it. Anyway, in the past period of time, you have said this to me a lot, my ears are calloused now, if this continues, I will not dare to invest in you to make movies in the future, otherwise I will not be annoyed by you. Lin Yuquan said jokingly, and then said: "Now that one of us has won an award, how many more awards do you say we can win in a while?" ”
"There are a few more prizes to be won. Do you think that the award of the Golden Horse Award is radish and cabbage in the vegetable market, and you can buy it if you want? This is one of the most watched film festivals in the Chinese film industry, where is it so easy? It's good that we can be shortlisted, Andy didn't even get the nomination this time. When Lin Yuquan said this, Ning Hao's excited mood was completely replaced by speechlessness.
"You said yours, don't take me with you?" Liu Dehua smiled bitterly, after winning the actor award at the last Golden Horse Awards, he was bent on defending his title, and he reported four movies in one go this year, but the results were numerous, according to the Golden Horse Awards, he was distracted. Defeated himself. and he also suffered from Cheng Long's "Myth", because there are too many super movies this year. I didn't get any nominations.
Originally, he didn't want to come to this award ceremony, but he was dragged by Lin Yuquan from the hotel.
Liu Yifei and the others, who were sitting with the three of them, laughed lightly when they heard this.
"At least there should be no problem with Best New Actor." Lin Yuquan shrugged his shoulders, looked at the famous beautiful anchor Hou Peishui who was gushing on the podium, and shook his head: "The award ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards is too boring, fortunately, I listened to Sister Chang's words, I arranged the Taiwan publicity itinerary of "Red Cliff" on this trip to Jinlu, otherwise it would be too boring and a waste of time to come to this award ceremony." ”
Lin Yuquan secretly rejoiced in his previous decision, at this year's Golden Horse Awards, that is, at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards, Shuguang Film Company has a total of two films shortlisted for the nomination list, one is his own "Huo Yuanjia", and the other is Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", and these two films have been nominated for a lot, and the weight is not light, among which "Huo Yuanjia" won a total of three nominations for Best Action Design, Best New Actor, and Best Actor, which can be called a bumper harvest, and "Crazy Stone" won the best original screenplay, Best Director, Best Feature Film, three nominations, in terms of weight is much heavier than "Huo Yuanjia", as a film company that has not been established for a long time, it is definitely a happy thing to have such an expression.
Of course Lin Yuquan is happy, after all, this is an honor that belongs to the company, but when it comes to himself, he can't laugh or cry, his own job is obviously a director, but as a director, he was not shortlisted for the director's award, but as an actor and martial arts instructor, I really don't know what to say.
And sure enough, as Chang Jihong said, the award ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards is very boring, for example, to commemorate the Taiwanese generation of comedy masters, even if you can't make the award ceremony too grand because of the nature of the award ceremony, at least you shouldn't laugh too much, and the result of laughing will only be boring. Other links, such as the boring hosting of the two hosts of variety shows entertaining themselves, there is almost no tacit understanding between the award presenters, playing on the spot, cold from time to time, completely unable to grasp where the audience's laughter is, and the acceptance speech is also like boiled water, so tasteless, except for thanks or thanks.
It's boring, what's worse is that due to the live broadcast, the camera will sweep over from time to time, so he not only needs to sit upright in the audience, but also needs to smile and applaud warmly from time to time, with the lame jokes when presenting the awards, which makes him feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
In fact, he was not very interested in the award ceremony where this form was more meaningful than a qiē, and it was more like a show, if it weren't for the fact that he had never participated in it, he was a little curious about the oldest award in the Chinese-speaking circle, the only one in the three awards that has no geographical restrictions, and the selection object is open to all Chinese-language films and Chinese-speaking filmmakers.
Therefore, after the list of nominees was announced on October 18, he learned about the Golden Horse Awards ceremony from Chang Jihong, and he simply asked Xiao Ran to set Taiwan's publicity itinerary on November 13 and November 14, so that he could do a good job in the promotion of "Red Cliff" at the same time as he saw it, and did not waste time.
This is the situation that Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua and others accompanied him to appear at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and at the beginning of the award ceremony, he won the first award of this year's Golden Horse Awards from Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu - Best Action Design.
"yes. I don't like to go to this kind of award ceremony either. It's too uncomfortable. Liu Yifei, who happened to be on his right, said.
"It's not always like that. I'm used to it anyway, in fact, how many actors and stars are really willing to participate in such a boring awards ceremony, but there is no way, some are winners, because they need the recognition of this award, so they came, and some were invited by the organizers of the film festival with great painstaking efforts, and they can't erase the face. can only come, and some want to walk the red carpet show, win the opportunity to be exposed, of course, there are requirements from the director or the company, it can be said that there are different reasons, if you simply come for the excitement and fun of the award ceremony, who wants to come, it is better to stay at home and watch TV? Zhou Xun, who was sitting second on his right, said.
Lin Yuquan nodded, this is the truth, in fact, he took the main creators of "Red Cliff" to walk the red carpet this time. The purpose of participating in the awards ceremony is to expose and publicize, and being in the entertainment industry is often involuntary. For the vast majority of actors or singers, they have no autonomy on whether to attend various events, and they need to accept the arrangements of so-called decision-makers such as crews, brokerage companies, and record companies.
"It seems that this time I found an uncomfortable errand for myself and everyone, well, I admit it, I can't help everyone, after the award ceremony, I invite everyone to supper."
"You are so insincere, others will hold a celebration party as long as they win the Golden Horse Awards, you are equivalent to one meal as two invitations." Last year's Golden Horse actor Andy Lau said.
"Andy, you missed it, "Crazy Stone" was also filmed by him, so he invited one meal as three meals this time." There was also no nomination, although Liang Chaowei, who belonged to the promotion of the crew of "Red Cliff", sat relatively far away, but his mind was not on the award ceremony, he kept listening to a few people talking, and said after hearing the words.
"It's treacherous enough." Andy Lau was stunned for a moment and said.
Lin Yuquan was criticized by everyone in the audience, but the award ceremony on the stage has been going on, after Shen Dianxia presented the Lifetime Achievement Special Award, and after a singing performance, it was the turn of the best creative short film and the best new actor to present the awards.
"The next award to be presented is the Best New Actor, and there are those who are nominated for it, please look at the big screen." Yang Youning, who won the Best New Actor Award for "Seventeen-Year-Old Sky" last year, said loudly.
"Jay Chou's "Initial D", Lai Yayan's "Rhapsody of Life", Liang Luoshi's "Insects Don't Know", Lin Yuquan's "Huo Yuanjia".
"The winner of the 42nd Best New Actor is Lin Yuquan's "Huo Yuanjia". Yang Youning opened the envelope and glanced at it, handed it to Gui Lunmei, and the two said in unison.
"Brother Yuquan, congratulations." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Lin Yuquan just hugged a few people around him with a smile on his face, and walked towards the podium in warm applause, and the expressions of the others were relatively calm, and they were not too excited, but the gap between Lin Yuquan and other candidates in this award was too great, and everyone was not surprised that he won the award.
shook hands with these two local local young actors he didn't know at all, and after receiving the trophy, Lin Yuquan stood in front of the microphone, his eyes swept over the star guests below and the many audiences behind, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face: "I'm very happy to win the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor, it's amazing, when I first filmed "Huo Yuanjia", I didn't think I would become an actor, but there is no way, Li Lianjie's salary is too expensive, I can't afford it, in order to save money, I can only be the director of the director. Fortunately, my clumsy acting skills didn't smash the role of Huo Yuanjia, and I am really grateful to the friends who like the movie "Huo Yuanjia" and the role of Huo Yuanjia that I play. Of course, as a director, the most important thing I want to get is the director award, this year is no chance, I hope to have this opportunity next year, if there is no chance next year, I will come back the year after tomorrow, in this regard, last year's Andy is my role model, my goal. ”
"Okay."
"Well said."
The scene suddenly resounded with bursts of cheers.
If it is an audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, they can see Liu Dehua's crying and laughing expression on the screen and the unconcealable smiles on the faces of Ning Hao, Liang Chaowei and others around him, and after Lin Yuquan stepped down, he talked and laughed intimately with Lin Yuquan.
After that, six awards were awarded one after another, and finally the four most important awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards, Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and so on To Qifeng and Liang Jiahui awarded the Best Actress to Shu Qi in "The Best Time/", Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, Liu Yifei, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, Chen Jianbing, Chen Daoming, Liu Dehua, everyone became concentrated.
"The 42nd Best Actor is Lin Yuquan in "Huo Yuanjia".
When Hou Hsiao-hsien, the best director of the two-time Golden Horse Awards and the most important representative of Taiwan's new films, and Yang Guimei, the winner of last year's Golden Horse Awards, said these words loudly, the scene suddenly broke out into deafening applause and screams, and Liu Yifei, Ning Hao and others all cheered excitedly, and then got up and pounced on him.
Of course, Lin Yuquan is excited, but there is still a little weirdness in the excitement, I am a director, but why are the winners all actors, the Kyoto University Student Film Festival is like this, the Huabiao Award is like this, and the Golden Horse Award is still like this.
"I said Andy, you don't need to work so hard when shooting, do you want to congratulate me, or take the opportunity to retaliate against me!"
"Am I taking revenge? I'm excited, I'm happy for you, I worked hard for so many years to get the Golden Horse actor last year, you guy got it so lightly, and you are still an actor. Andy's tone was full of sourness.
Everyone chuckled. (To be continued......) R1292
