Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ceremony XVI
readx;?β Wang Lao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Shen Chong looked at the Wan brothers on the stage and asked: "There are so many art masters in Beijing, doesn't Beijing Film Studio consider setting up an art branch?" β
"I don't have the energy, and I don't have the money." Wang Yang sighed and shook his head, and said: "Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was only set up with the strength of the whole country, do you know how much Old Man Wan spent on "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"? What is the concept of more than 1 million in 19ul? It was the most difficult time for the country. β
"You lack money, I lack people." Shen Chong was also helpless, and said: "I have long wanted to engage in animated films, this is a treasure mountain, full of gold and silver, but there are only a handful of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan who understand animation production, and most of them are advertised, and it is enough to make a few minutes of short films, and it is even worse to make feature films." β
"You, it's good to do anything, you just love money too much, animated movies are used to educate children, not to make money." Wang Yang had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and reprimanded: "Look at it, a good movie awards ceremony, what kind of live broadcast to earn advertising fees, make a miasma"
"Movies are built on money, and you have to have money before you can talk about artistic value and educational significance." After Shen Chong retorted, he said: "Old Wang, you are an understanding person, the country cannot keep the film factory forever, the fire of reform and opening up will only burn more and more, Beijing Film Studio will embark on the road of commercialization sooner or later, and you will have to have a headache for money sooner or later, so it's better to prepare early." β
Wang Yang ignored him, and waited for Yan Dingxian to receive the trophy before saying: "I heard that you are buying film rights everywhere, do you want the movies of our Beijing Film Studio?" β
Shen Chong was taken aback and said, "That's state property, you dare to sell it?" β
"Who said I sold it?" Wang Yang glared at him and said, "Aren't you advocating movie box office sharing everywhere in the mainland?" I see that your videotape business is doing very well, why don't you try this first, our Beijing Film Studio publishes the rights and copies, and you make a videotape to sell, let's split the account, how about it? β
Shen Chong's heart raced and asked, "How many movies are there in Beijing Film Studio?" β
"Part 137." Wang Yang is clear about his own foundation, and he said like a treasure: "There are documentaries, opera films, comedy films, war films, costume films, fashion films, everything, many of which have won awards, and the quality is absolutely excellent." β
said that the sky is wild, but Shen Chong knows that as the leader of the mainland film studio, most of the films in the library of Beijing Film Studio are war films, and most of them are black and white films.
"There are too many 137 parts, let's cross the river by feeling the stones, and I'll pick a few out to test the water first." After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Shen Chong said: "I will arrange it here in Hong Kong, and you will run the procedures in the mainland, what do you think?" β
"It's a good word." Wang Yang nodded very firmly, he saw that the host appeared again, and said, "After the awards, find a time to talk about the details." β
"It's already 10 o'clock in the evening, but the audience in front of the TV must not go away, let alone go to sleep." He Shouxin spoke first and said: "Because every award to be awarded next is the highlight of the crowd, and what I said is not a lie, because according to the data provided by the accounting firm, the four awards of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture have been voted by the audience as high as 10,000. β
"Oh, don't say these clichΓ©s anymore, these viewers don't like to hear it." Zhang Aijia urged: "Hurry up and invite the award presenters to come out, they all want to see the guests." β
"What? Are you nervous? β
"Of course I'm nervous." Zhang Aijia clenched her hands into fists, with a leaping expression, and said: "But it's not to win the award, but to meet Audrey Hepburn early, the most beautiful and temperamental woman in the world, my idol, can you not be nervous?" β
"It is said that literati are inferior to each other, and beauties are jealous, shouldn't you be a gentleman who likes Gregory Pike?"
"Of course I like Mr. Pike." Zhang Aijia stroked her hair with her hand, put on an exaggerated pose, and threw her eyes at the audience, saying: "But many people say that I am Hepburn from Taiwan, so...
The audience laughed.
Wang Yang also smiled and said, "Your girlfriend is really interesting and energetic." β
As the awards ceremony progressed, the host became more and more relaxed, which is a good thing, Shen Chong smiled, applauded, and asked: "The mainland has also released "Roman Holiday"? β
"No, but the Film Archive got a copy from Hong Kong, and we watched it inside the studio." Wang Yang explained: "The two leading actors have a good appearance, their performances are also very good, simple and natural, many people like them, you invite them to present the award, you are inviting the right person." β
"Well, the next thing we're going to present is the Best Actor Award at the first Hong Kong Film Awards." He Shouxin paused for a moment and continued: "But before presenting the awards, we have to ask a very talented singer to sing a beautiful song for everyone to pay tribute to those actors who are radiant on the screen
"I invite Mr. Leslie Cheung to bring us "Star".
The host left, the lights went out in turn, and the audience was dark, and in a moment of silence, Shen Chong heard many people whispering, talking about why he invited such a half-red and non-black TV actor to be a guest performer
"Hey, Chong Zai, did you really invite Leslie Cheung?" Huang Zhan also leaned forward and asked, "He's too young, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the scene." Why don't you invite Rowan? β
"Uncle Zhan, don't worry, some people are born stars, and the bigger the scene, the more attractive they are."
Huang Zhan still wanted to speak, but Leslie Cheung's deep and mellow voice pierced the darkness and spread throughout the audience.
"When you see the stars in the sky......"
Before he finished singing a word of lyrics, Huang Zhan immediately learned from Shen Chong's actions just now, gave two thumbs up, shook it, and then retracted it, listening to Leslie Cheung singing.
With the singing, the big screen is lit up, showing stills of the most popular actors of each era.
"Li Minwei, the father of Chinese cinema and one of the earliest film actors in China......"
Zheng Partridge, a famous movie star of the era, is the first actor in China to summarize and publish his film performance experience
"Mei Lanfang, the grandmaster of Peking Opera, at the beginning of the decade, filmed silent Peking Opera films such as "Chunxiang Trouble", "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" and other silent Peking Opera films......"
"Wang Yuanlong, the chief male star of the Shanghai film industry in the era, is known as the ,...... of the overlord"
"Zhang Huichong, a master of magic, performed many martial arts movies in the era, and the most famous 'hero,...... on the early Chinese screen"
"Wang Xianzhai, the 'first villain' on the Chinese screen, the most famous villain actor of the era......
"Zhou Kongkong, China's first generation of comedy movie stars, has the 'Oriental Chaplin, known as the blockbuster actor on the same level as Hu Die......"
"Xiao Shen, you can find such old information." Wang Yang couldn't understand Cantonese songs, he watched the short film for a while, and whispered sideways: "These people, it's been fifty or sixty years since now, I can't remember who they are without reading the subtitles. β
Shen Chong admired Leslie Cheung's singing on the stage, nodded with a smile, and cheekily accepted his praise - all the historical information short films at the award ceremony were made by Lin Niantong and the editorial department of "First Film Review" for nearly half a year.
"Jin Yan, a famous movie star in the 30s, is known as the 'movie emperor......"
"Gao Zhanfei, a famous movie star in the 30s, the 'chief student,...... of Star Film Company"
"Wang Yin, a famous movie star in the 30s, known as the iron man of the Jingtan Arena, has a long film career, and won the Best Actor at the 1st Golden Horse Awards in 19......"
"When I was more than ten years old, I went to Shanghai to eat, at that time there was a newspaper called "Electroacoustic Daily", which had just been launched, and wanted to hold an event to do publicity, so I got a top ten movie star selection, the momentum at that time, it was really incredible, the whole beach was crazy about it, and after the final results came out, the highest vote among the actresses was Hu Die, and the highest vote among the male actors was Jin Yan, so the two of them were called "movie queens" and "movie emperors," ." Wang Yang was reminded of his old feelings, talked about sexuality, leaned on Shen Chong, and said: "Gao Zhanfei is the second most voted actor among actors, and he is also very popular, he and Jin Yan were originally actors of Lianhua Film Company, and later jumped to Star Film Company, specializing in playing with Hu Die, and they are very popular." It's a pity that I heard that he died in turmoil at the end of the UU years. β
"Elder Wang, I knew that you knew so much, I shouldn't have sent someone to Shanghai to collect information, just invite you to dinner in Beijing."
"You don't know how I got into the industry, which means that you haven't collected enough information." Wang Yang said in an old-fashioned manner: "I worked as an artist in the star film company in the 30s, making costumes and sets for Hu Die, and there is nothing I don't know about the old things in the film industry on the beach." β
"Then you have to ask for advice from now on."
Between the two talking, the short film has been played to the UU era, at this time, the focus of Chinese films has shifted from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and the stars who appear in the short film are almost all familiar to the audience, and these people have few achievements of historical significance, so the introduction subtitles are getting fewer and fewer, and many are only given a name
"Zhao Lei, winner of the 4th Golden Horse Award for Best Actor......"
"Kwan Shan, the first Hong Kong actor to win an award at an international film festival......"
"Xie Xian......"
"Wang Yu ......"
"Dillon......
"Ginger David ......"
"Bruce Lee, the first Chinese international superstar......"
"Xu Guanwen ......"
"Deng Guangrong ......"
"Qin and Han ......"
"Qin Xianglin ......"
"Jackie Chan ......"
When Leslie Cheung finished singing the last sentence and the music ended, the screen just faded away, and a row of subtitles appeared: "Who will be the best actor at the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and who will be the movie emperor of the RU era."
Under the screen, in the fluorescence, Leslie Cheung stood tall and jade, his eyebrows were picturesque, he bowed, bent over, and the moment he raised his head, the applause filled the entire concert hall.
"Chong Zai, today we believe that you really have a pair of discerning eyes." Huang Zhan leaned forward and said loudly in Shen Chong's ear: "I don't know who will win the best actor tonight, but I know that this young boy will become a superstar in the music world."
