readx;??? After Shen Chong presented the award, he returned to the backstage from the channel on the left, while He Shouxin and Zhang Aijia walked out from the right and continued to host. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As soon as he got backstage, the director from Hollywood gave him a thumbs up and said in English, "It's perfect"
"Ah Chong, I knew that you were so good on stage, not only reciting the lines with emotion, but also being able to create a random atmosphere." Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "With you, why should we ask He Shouxin, if you go up to host, the ratings will definitely be several points higher." β
"It's not that simple to be a host, it's okay for me to make occasional cameos." Shen Chong shook his head and said, "It's not okay to stay for a long time, I was also stubborn just now, but in fact, my heart is very weak." β
"I think it's good." As Shen Chong, how could he be the host, Chen Baisheng also said casually, and he asked instead: "Mr. Zhao Dan said those things just now, will there be trouble?" β
"There will definitely be trouble, but it will not be very serious, and the public opinion in the mainland is now more open than imagined, and the top is not advocating emancipation of the mind." Zhao Dan didn't know that he was seriously ill, and Shen Chong was not good at leaking the news, he sighed slightly, and said: "You are familiar with the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and you will say hello to those reporters later, and when they report, have a gentle attitude, don't engage in sarcasm and criticism, and deal with the government, that is, to seek skin with the tiger, to talk about means, follow the hair, it is more effective than pointing fingers, the more you shout, the greater the loss."
"When there will be a celebration banquet, I will greet them one by one." Chen Baisheng nodded and said, "But I'm afraid they won't listen, especially the media in Taiwan." β
"Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven."
Shen Chong returned to the dressing room, washed off the powder on his face, and then returned to the scene from the special channel, as soon as he sat down, Wang Yang sighed: "Zhao Dan is amazing, saying this kind of thing on this occasion, he will definitely go through some twists and turns when he returns to Beijing." β
Wang Yang is an old Jianghu, what kind of reaction might Beijing have, ask him if he is right, "Wang Lao, will the twists and turns you said be serious?" β
"Not really." Wang Yang crossed his arms, shook his head and said: "Zhao Dan is half of the ground, even if someone wants to fix him and buckle his hat, what's the point?" At most, there was a bit of organizational criticism. β
This consequence is acceptable, and with the 19ru political environment in the mainland, his family will not be implicated too harshly.
"Then what do you think of what Zhao Dan just said?"
"What do I think?" Wang Yang glanced at him and said, "I approve with both hands and feet."
He sighed and said: "It is said that people are going to die, and their words are also good, Zhao Dan played a good show tonight, but it's a pity, it's a pity that such a good actor, such an artist with ideas, has been passively delayed for a long time, and now the situation is better, but people are leaving." β
Wang Yang is the head of the mainland delegation and has the responsibility of taking care of the members, so he naturally knows that Zhao Dan is seriously ill.
"Zhao Dan knows about his illness?"
"He only knew he was sick, but he didn't know how sick he was." Wang Yang was silent, and after a while, he said: "Our Beijing Film Studio was in contact with a Japanese film company last year, planning to cooperate in making a film that shows the friendship between the two peoples, Zhao Dan is the starring role, he is pondering the script and lines every day, and his enthusiasm for work is very high, but this drama has dragged on and on, and the start time has not been set yet, I am afraid he will not be able to wait."
Shen Chong was speechless, and at this time, the big screen began to play the list of shortlisted films, so he temporarily pressed his mind and concentrated on watching the awards.
"Best Cinematography at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists are:
Zhong Zhiwen, "Crazy Robbery......
Chen Kunhou, "Good Morning Taipei......
Chen Junjie, "Legend in the Mountains......
Shen Xilin, Zheng Xuan, "From Slave to General......
Chen Guoliang, Yun Wenyao, "Little Flower" ......"
"This award is for Shen Xilin." Wang Yang didn't bother about Zhao Dan anymore, after reading the shortlist, he commented: "How can other films compare with such a big scene as "From Slave to General"? β
"You're a connoisseur, and your eyes are like torches." Shen Chong complimented and said, "It is a great skill to be able to shoot the big scene safely." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the award presenter read out the winners, and sure enough, they were Shen Xilin and Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan is just that, Shen Xilin is not a simple person, he is the director of the photography workshop of Shanghai Film Studio, he has filmed classic movies such as "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Red Women's Army", in Shen Chong's previous life, 05 years, when Chinese films were born for a hundred years, the Central Propaganda Department, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Ministry of Culture jointly selected 50 "National Film Artists with Outstanding Contributions", including Shen Xilin, and is the only full-time cinematographer.
There is such a sentence in "The Condor Heroes": The heavy sword has no edge, and it is not skillful. flashes and falls in small scenes, no matter how fancy the shooting is, it is not as shocking as the dignified filming of thousands of troops and horses, "From Slave to General" can be said to crush other competitors.
The two guests who presented the Best Photography Award were Lin Tsan Ting, who won the Best Photography Award at the Golden Horse Awards four times and was the most famous photographer in Taiwan in the sixties and seventies.
When Li Hanxiang ran away from Shaw Brothers in the UU era and went to Taiwan to found the Guolian Film Company, he greatly appreciated Lin Zanting, who was not famous at the time, and opened three times the salary to dig him from the China Film Company, the so-called hero knows the hero, Bai Jingrui, the director of the production department of the China Film Company at that time, also admired him very much, tried his best to keep him, and finally retained him in one sentence, this sentence is: As long as I Bai Jingrui shoots in the future, you must be a photographer. Then the two joined forces and achieved a career in their own right.
The other guest was Masashi Nishimoto, a Japanese man. In the fifties and sixties, when Japan's film industry far surpassed that of Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers invited Masashi Nishimoto from Japan to serve as a photographer and train E-Brothers employees, and at the same time developed a unique color curved widescreen system for Shaw Brothers, laying the technical foundation of the Shaw Brothers film kingdom.
After Nishimoto arrived in Hong Kong, he took a Chinese name called Helan Mountain, and successively assisted Li Hanxiang in filming a series of large-scale palace dramas, such as "Yang Guifei" won the Cannes Film Festival Outstanding Technical Award for its excellent interior color photography technology, and "Wu Zetian" was considered by Hong Kong film critics to be the highest achievement of assembly line work for Shaw Brothers studios, in addition, he also served as the cinematographer of classic films such as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Children of the Earth", "The Great Drunken Man", and led Xu Zenghong, Gui Zhihong and other Shaw Brothers rising starsAlthough he did not stay in Hong Kong for a long time, he played a key role in the development of the Hong Kong film industry, so the preparatory committee specially invited him from Japan.
When presenting the award, Lin Zanting did not speak much, but Nishimoto praised Shen Xilin's photography skills in Chinese, and envied his luck to have the opportunity to shoot a big-budget war movie.
Shen Xilin and Zheng Xuan were very calm, and after thanking them step by step, they walked off the stage.
Zhao Dan's shocking remarks just now pushed the atmosphere of the award ceremony to the top, and many viewers have not recovered from the shock, plus the best photography is a technical award, and the popularity of the award presenters and award recipients is very low, so this award is not shocked, and the applause is flat.
The next thing to be awarded is the best editing, which is another technical award, although He Shouxin and Zhang Aijia worked very hard to mobilize the atmosphere, but the audience didn't buy it, they were absent-minded, and they talked about it in a whisper.
The host couldn't mobilize the atmosphere, and the award presenters were naturally even more powerless, so after coming up and introducing themselves, they began to release the shortlist.
"The Best Editing at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists are:
Zhang Guoming, "Pointing Soldiers"......
Tan Jiaming, "Crazy Robbery......
Liu Ying, "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau......
Zhu Jinshun, "From Slave to General......
Zhang Yaozong, "Heroes" ......"
In the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles at this time, the editing work was basically taken over by the director, while in the mainland, because film is a very expensive consumable, every effort will be made to save it during shooting, resulting in a very low consumption ratio, and the editor does not have too many resources to use, so the editing work is not taken seriously.
The award for the best editing is one is the chief editor of Beijing Film Studio, Fu Zhengyi, he is a very old editor, before the liberation has edited such as "A River Spring Flows Eastward", "Ten Thousand Lights" and other classic movies, after the liberation of the "Sanmao Wanderings", "Wu Xun δΈ¨ Biography", "Song of Youth", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and other famous movies.
The other is Jiang Xinglong, the chief editor of Shaw Brothers, who has edited hundreds of films, and won four Golden Horse Awards for Best Editing with "Yang Guifei", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Children of the Earth", and "Thirteen Eagles in Cold Blood", and won two Asia-Pacific Film Festival Best Editing Awards with "Diao Chan" and "A Thousand Charms", and was the first editor in Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies.
Jiang Xinglong opened the envelope and announced the winner together with Fu Zhengyi: "Best Editing at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, Tam Jiaming, "Crazy Robbery". β
This is the first award won by Hong Kong other than Run Run Shaw at this year's award ceremony, so the applause was a little more enthusiastic than just now.
Tan Jiaming is serious, not smiling, and wearing a black suit, looking quite solemn, after he took the trophy on stage, he stood there and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he began to speak: "Winning this award is a bit unexpected, because I am a director, and editing is just a personal hobby, and I am here to help temporarily." Of course, I am very happy to receive the award and thank the jury for their appreciation of my work. β
"To win this award, I would like to thank director Xu Anhua, because she filmed very well and respected my opinion when editing; Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Shen Chong, because he developed all the films, gave me a lot of materials, and had a lot of room to play. Finally, thank you. β
Wang Yang touched his chin, looked at Tan Jiaming on the stage, and said to Shen Chong: "This kid seems to be a character. β
Some people are born with a temperament that can impress people at first glance, Tan Jiaming belongs to this category, his speech is plain, and his clothes are not unusual, but there is an indescribable sense of sharpness, which is very different from other award recipients.
"He used to shoot a lot of works on 16nn film on TV stations, and he just entered the film industry last year, and many people in Hong Kong are optimistic about his future." Shen Chong introduced: "The first movie he directed seems to be about to be released, next time I go to Beijing, I will bring a copy to you." β
"Okay." Wang Yang nodded lightly, and then asked, "That "Hero" seems to have been shortlisted for another award?" β
"Best Screenplay, John Woo's work."
