After the best original film screenplay, it is naturally the best adapted film screenplay, and the award presenters are Jin Yong and Qiong Yao, who have been adapted into film and television dramas in the Chinese literary circle, and not only that, these two are also distant relatives who are related to the deceased - Jin Yong's cousin is Qiong Yao's aunt. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jin Yong was proud of the spring breeze around 19ru, the performance of the "Ming Pao" newspaper group was booming, Taiwan lifted the ban on his martial arts novels, and the high-level officials in the mainland also repeatedly handed him green branches, and the TV series adapted from his novels such as Michelle's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" were all sensational in Hong Kong, and thousands of people rushed to watch them, and movies such as Chu Yuan's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer Finale" broke the box office record in Taiwan, and the movie theaters even sold standing tickets, which was unprecedented.

And Qiong Yao is a little embarrassed, she cooperated with Ping Xintao, the boss of Crown Publishing House, in 1976, to form a superstar film company, making two movies adapted from novels every year, fixed on the Spring Festival schedule, but the good times did not last long, at the end of the 70s, Taiwan's popular "living room, dining room, café" movie suddenly became unpopular, critics criticized her novels and movies for their pale background, characters do not eat the fireworks of the world, misleading teenagers' view of love, the queen heroine Lin Qingxia is riddled with scandals, and has no intention of acting, And the 8-year-long extramarital affair between Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao has been repeatedly exposed by the media, which has seriously affected popularity, so by 1979, Superstar Pictures Company had been in turmoil and lost a lot of money.

No matter how criticized their works are, Jin Yong and Qiong Yao are both among the most successful literati entrepreneurs in modern China. Even if the literati are light and disdainful, their hearts are also extremely yearning, so when the two appeared, they were quite popular, and the applause was not inferior to Zhang Ailing.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Zha Liangyong."

"I'm Qiong Yao."

"It's an honour to be here tonight. This is a film event, when I was young, I also entered the film industry and wrote scripts for them at the Great Wall Film Company, but writing scripts is very hard, so I ran away after only a few times. Jin Yong's words caused a burst of laughter, and he continued: "I feel very embarrassed when the Academy Awards invite me to present the award, because I am not as hard and serious as Ms. Qiong Yao, and I personally adapted the work into a movie, I am very lazy, whoever likes my novel, I always say that it is good, you take it, and make it up yourself." ”

"Mr. Jin Yong is too modest, your works are popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, countless readers are fascinated, and film companies are waiting in line for adaptation." Qiong Yao has probably been attacked too much recently, full of resentment, and complained: "I'm different, no one likes my novel now, so no one helps me adapt it, so I have to come by myself, hard work and hard work, I really envy Mr. Jin Yong, you can sit firmly on Diaoyutai and watch the clouds rise and fall." ”

"Actually, I think it's because you have too high requirements for the adaptation of your work." Jin Yong is an old Jianghu, and he said exquisitely: "Adapting a novel into a script is more difficult than the original script, why, because the original script is built on the flat ground, and you can build it however, and the adapted script is to decorate in a ready-made building, each resident has its own requirements, and it is necessary to meet everyone's ideas, so it is particularly difficult, Ms. Qiong Yao dares to change her novel in person, this kind of courage is something I don't have, and she also changes it very well, after the reader finishes the novel, he will go to the movie, and the audience will watch the movie after watching the movie, I will read novels again, which is really amazing. ”

"Mr. Jin Yong laughed, how can I have such good skills." Qiong Yao probably felt that what she spoke just now was too rushed, so she humbly conceded, then shifted her gaze and said: "Mr. Jin Yong, you and I are both members of the jury, but after we voted, we don't know who won the award, so let's guess before awarding the award, who will win this trophy?" ”

This was the first time that the members of the jury talked about the inside story of the jury, and the audience was curious, sat up straight, and paid attention.

"According to the judging rules of the Academy Awards, I can't tell you who I voted for." Jin Yong said with a smile: "But according to the reaction of the judges when watching the movie, I think it should be the mainland film "Little Flower" that won the award, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's director Chu Yuan, and Miss Zhang Ailing told me that she likes the original book and adaptation of "The Dream of Xiaolou" very much, and of course, I also like this movie very much."

"Chu Yuan is a very powerful director, and I also like his works." Looking up and not looking down, Jin Yong also held Chu Yuan and said, "Let's put the suspense here, let's take a look at the list of shortlisted movies first." ”

"The Best Adapted Film Screenplay at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards was shortlisted for:

Chu Yuan, "The Dream of Xiaolou......

Qin Yu, "Full Moon Scimitar......

Involved, "Little Flower"......

Zheng Quan, Jin Deshun, "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau......

Zhong Ling, Hu Jinquan, "Legend of the Mountain......"

"Chu Yuan, is the director who is very popular in Taiwan, right?" Wang Yang asked: "I heard that the box office of each of his movies in Taiwan has exceeded 10 million?" ”

"Yes." Shen Chong nodded and introduced: "This person is versatile, Cantonese films, Chinese films, costume films, fashion films, martial arts films, and romance films can all be filmed, and they are shot quickly and well, and he is a very talented and talented director." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Elder Wang, in fact, that Qin Yu is Chu Yuan's pen name, and he alone occupies two seats in this shortlist. ”

"In that case, why is the shortlist using a pseudonym?"

"It is very difficult to collect all the film materials that will be released in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait within a year." Shen Chong patiently explained: "The Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards can only make a list of shortlisted filmmakers according to the subtitles typed on the film copy, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. ”

Wang Yang bowed his head and said: "Objective conditions can only do this." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qiong Yao announce the winner: "Best Adapted Film Script at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, Chu Yuan, "The Dream of Xiaolou". ”

"Now Chu Yuan finally raised his eyebrows." After Shen Chong applauded, he said to Wang Yang: "Elder Wang, you know that the Hong Kong film industry only recognizes money, not art, and education. Only directors with very good box office results have the capital to make their favorite movies, Chu Yuan has been making martial arts movies for three or four years in a row, and has earned tens of millions for Shaw Brothers Film Company, and finally got the opportunity to make a movie he likes last year, but he filmed this "Dream of Xiaolou", the box office only collected more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he would cry to death, if it wasn't for his previous box office results were very good, he might be unemployed now. ”

"The box office is so poor, it shows that the audience doesn't approve of it." Wang Yang was puzzled and asked, "How can you still win the award?" ”

"The quality of the movie "Dream of Xiaolou" is very good, mainly because it is not well promoted." Shen Chong felt that he couldn't say it clearly for a while, so he had to say vaguely: "Hong Kong is different from the mainland, the mainland is hungry and hungry, and there are people who watch every movie, while Hong Kong has to release two or three hundred movies every year, and the supply exceeds demand, so publicity is very important, and if the publicity is not good, no one will watch it." ”

When Wang Yang heard this, he was thoughtful, while Shen Chong watched with interest Chu Yuan come to the stage to accept the award-he and these two award presenters have a little bit of a relationship.

Chu Yuan's original name was Zhang Baojian, and his father Zhang Huoyou was a very famous Cantonese opera and film actor in the forties and fifties, and Wu Chufan, Zhang Ying, and Li Qing were known as the "four big students" of Hong Kong Cantonese films.

In 1999, Radio Television Hong Kong and Wen Wei Po jointly held a "Hong Kong Classic Film Election" activity, which was formed by an advisory group of thirteen film groups to select 50 Chinese films that had been released in Hong Kong, and had achievements in art or entertainment, and had a profound impact on Hong Kong's people's livelihood, culture and international status. Ten classic movies were voted by the audience readers, among which "Pity the Heart of the World's Parents" ranked ninth, and it was the only U0s movie in the top ten, which shows the quality of the film and the high film talent of Chu Yuan.

However, in the 60s, Cantonese films were shoddy, low quality, and a large number of audiences were lost, and by about 70 years, it was no longer sustainable, Cantonese film companies closed down one after another, and Chu Yuan's Cathay Film Company also closed down in 1970 and leased the studio and cinema chain to the newly established Golden Harvest.

Chu Yuan from UU to 70 years, ten years to make a number of ru movies, also a little famous, before made a love movie called "Yulou Chunxiao", popular has been mixed martial arts newcomer Qin Xianglin, so a Taiwanese filmmaker came to the door and asked him to shoot Qiong Yao's novel adaptation of "The Courtyard is Deep", Chu Yuan was quite excited at the time, not only went to Taiwan in advance to inspect the actors and locations, after returning to Hong Kong, he also worked overtime to shoot Cathay's last Cantonese movie, but he just finished the work in hand, It was rumored that "Deep Courtyard" had been on for a few days, so you shouldn't go to Taiwan again......

This can be described as a bolt from the blue, and Chu Yuan was blinded at once, so he was unemployed for more than half a year, and it was not until the end of the year that he defected to the Shaw Brothers and returned to work.

I don't know if there was Qiong Yao's participation in the on-the-spot change of generals......

After two years of silent fighting in the Shaw Brothers, Chu Yuan made a splash in 1973 with "Seventy-two Tenants", beating Bruce Lee and sitting on the top of the annual box office rankings.

Then Chu Yuan hid at home and pondered, pondered and pondered, and finally figured out two movie truths - in this world, there are only two kinds of movies that will always be watched, one is comedy, the other is action movies, he is not good at comedy, so he set his eyes on martial arts novels, and began to adapt Jin Yong's novels, starting from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Book of Swords and Enmity" and so on all the way to adapt, write the outline and story synopsis, and go to Run Run Shaw, Run Run Shaw invites him to a Shanghai restaurant to eat with him every time, Reading the script while eating, and shooting it after reading it, and so on, Chu Yuan finished changing Jin Yong's novel, and he couldn't get the opportunity to film, so he had to change Gu Long, and after tossing for more than nine months, he was born from "The Godfather" in Ni Kuang's sentence, ""Meteor Butterfly Sword" was born from "The Godfather", if you want to remake it, go and shoot this one." , got the opportunity to shoot "Meteor Butterfly Sword", and finally became an instant hit and became the hottest martial arts director in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In short, Jin Yong and Qiong Yao are not Chu Yuan's destined nobles, Chu Yuan, in turn, is quite helpful to the careers of these two, he popularized Qin Xianglin, one of the "two Qins", and became the queen actor of Qiong Yao's movie, he filmed "Heaven and Dragon Slayer Finale", which made Jin Yong's novel popular in Taiwan.

Chu Yuan is the only character in the Shaw Brothers' "Four Famous Directors" who maintains his momentum, in the four movies filmed in 1979, except for the poor performance of "Lou Remnant Dream" in the nature of playing tickets, the box office of the remaining three martial arts movies is very impressive, among which "The Peerless Double Pride" received more than 4 million, ranking in the top ten of the annual box office list, and also broke the box office record of Shaw Brothers in Taiwan, so he went up to win the award, the audience gave face very much, and the applause was very lively.

"Thank you, thank you." Chu Yuan took the trophy from Jin Yong's hand, held it in his hand, and said with emotion: "I have been filming for many years and have made almost 0 movies, "The Dream of Xiaolou" is one of my personal favorite works, I didn't expect the box office to be so miserable, but fortunately it was affirmed by the jury, and it was not made obscure, this award means a lot to me." ”

"I hope that the holding of the Academy Awards can give Hong Kong literary and artistic films a little room to survive, don't let everyone shoot just for the box office, shoot back and forth, people are tired and tired, and in the end, nothing can be shot well, movies are for people to relax and entertain, they are tools for dreaming, and they should not be produced in batches like canned fish."

"Of course, this is just my personal small complaint, by no means a complaint about Uncle Six, the Shaw family has a big business, and has to support thousands of employees, millions of water and electricity bills every month, and don't work hard to film, how does the company continue to operate, Uncle Six also has a last resort, and I can keep filming, and I can shoot this "Dream of Xiaolou", which is also the opportunity given by Uncle Six, I am very grateful to him, without him, there would be no Hong Kong movies now."

"Finally, thank you again for the jury's recognition of me, thank you."
