Next up was the Best Motion Design Award, presented by Kwan Tak-hing and Shi Jian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 1949, director Hu Peng filmed Hong Kong's first film "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung" with the legendary martial artist Wong Fei Hung as the theme, in which Kwan Dexing played Wong Fei Hung and Shi Jian played the villain, which was widely popular.

Guan Dexing has acted in more than 100 movies, many of which are Huang Feihong, and Shi Jian's acting path is broader, creating many popular roles, including Mr. Han who fought with Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon", and the heavenly stump in "The Palm of God", in 1978, he played the golden lion king in the H TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which was deeply liked by Jin Yong, and personally inscribed "God is as strong as a stone" 4 big characters to him as a souvenir.

These two are well-known kung fu stars in Hong Kong, so as soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Guan Dexing."

"I'm Shi Jian." After Shi Jian introduced himself, he added: "The traitor has his own tricks."

There was a lot of applause on the stage, Shi Jian had just shot an advertisement for the liqueur mints, and the line "The traitor has his own trick" swept Hong Kong and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The award we're going to give out tonight is for the best action design." Guan Dexing is nearly 70 years old, and he said slowly: "When making a movie, action design is very important, if you don't do it well, it is easy to have an accident." Traitor Jian, I heard that you were filming with Bruce Lee back then, and because the action design was not done well, you accidentally knocked him unconscious, didn't you? ”

"No, it's a lie, Bruce Lee's kung fu is so good, how could I stun him." Shi Jian denied it and explained: "This was the case at the time, when I filmed "Enter the Dragon", I was already in my sixties, my skills were not as good as before, and I didn't do a few actions in place, Bruce Lee personally demonstrated to me, he talked while making a comparison, and then asked me to try, that drama was filmed on an island, it was very windy, the speech was not heard clearly, and the communication was not good, he was not ready, so I punched, and accidentally hit him in the face, and then I lay down and rested for dozens of minutes, no dizziness, just rest." ”

Although Bruce Lee has been dead for six or seven years, his charm has not diminished, and this joke has made the guests with the Hong Kong audience as the main body listen to it with relish, and the loose atmosphere has finally condensed again.

"Oh, I see." Guan Dexing sighed with emotion and said: "Kung fu is our Chinese populism, and kung fu movies are also a type of film that we only have in China, so action design is very important, not only to play beautifully, but also to play safely." ”

"Yes, that's why the Academy Awards set up this award for best motion design to encourage the hard work of action directors." Shi Jian said: "Let's take a look at some of the excellent action designs last year. ”

"Best Action Design at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists are:

Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Lin Shirong......

Yuan Kui, Yuan Zhenwei, Yuan Xinyi, Qian Yuesheng, "North and South Drunken Boxing......

Sammo Hung , "Miscellaneous Kids......

Liu Jialiang, "Mad Monkey" ......

Liu Jialiang, "Rotten Head He......"

The five shortlisted films were all from Hong Kong, and the local guests raised their eyebrows and applauded one after another.

There are no kung fu films and martial arts films in the mainland, and Wang Yang naturally doesn't care about this award, he just asked: "Why is one person shortlisted for two movies?" ”

"Lau Ka-leung is an authentic Southern Shaolin Kung Fu descendant and one of Hong Kong's finest action design masters." Shen Chong gave him literacy and said: "Therefore, many movies ask him to do action design, and last year he did several movies very exciting, and these two are just the best of the best." ”

"If two films are shortlisted at the same time, they will divide the votes, and it would be a pity if they didn't win the award."

While the two were talking, Kwan Dexing smiled and announced the winners: "Ah Liang, congratulations, Best Action Design at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, "Crazy Monkey". ”

"Two films can still win awards when they are shortlisted, which seems to be indeed well-deserved." Wang Yang nodded and said: "What the awarder said just now is good, kung fu is a part of traditional Chinese culture, and I think the mainland can also make some such movies." ”

"If you are interested, you can send someone to Hong Kong to learn from it." Shen Chong said with a smile: "I don't dare to pack tickets for anything else, except for the action design, I can guarantee that Hong Kong is the best in the world, better than Hollywood."

"There are many martial arts schools in the mainland, and there are also martial arts masters." Wang Yang said with some disapproval: "I'll go back and study with them." ”

"There is a big difference between action design and martial arts, it is not a simple job, Hong Kong has also explored for decades to get results, or come to training, in order to improve quickly."

Wang Yang snorted, noncommittal.

Liu Jialiang is not tall, but because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, between movement and quiet, it gives people a strange illusion, as if a sports car with full gas can explode at any time, after he came to the stage, he first greeted the two old-timers very respectfully, and then took the trophy and began to speak.

"I can't speak, it's okay to fight, my father Liu Zhan is the descendant of Hong Boxing, his master Lin Shirong, Lin Shirong's master, is Huang Feihong that everyone is familiar with, I am the fourth generation of Huang Feihong, they handed me an inheritance, this inheritance is kung fu."

I am very grateful to Master Kwan and Uncle Jian for presenting me with this award tonight, because without them, I would not have been able to enter this industry. I only started filming in 1950, filming "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung", at that time, there was no stand-in for kung fu films, as long as I could really fight, because I knew kung fu, so Uncle Jian said: Eh, pretty boy, follow me to be my horse boy in the future. Director Hu Peng, who is the director of "The Legend of Huang Feihong", said: Okay, someone is a horse boy, so come on. That's it, I entered the industry, and then filmed more than 70 Huang Feihong, it was so hard to shoot at that time, why, because when I played, all of them were true, Master Guan didn't keep his hands, Uncle Jian didn't keep his hands, they were fists to the flesh, they were only in their thirties at that time, they were in good health, and they all had real kung fu, it hurt very much to hit the body, no martial artist dared to do it, and then I went on, and after I got used to it, it didn't hurt. ”

The audience applauded his professionalism.

"It's really hard to make kung fu movies, I often have to get injured, and I have encountered broken hands and feet, but I don't regret it, I will continue to film, why, because I want to promote kung fu, traditional Chinese kung fu, we must keep it ourselves, and we have to pass it on to our own people, now many young people don't practice kung fu, run to practice karate, practice taekwondo, learn from foreigners, how embarrassing, I hope that after someone has watched kung fu movies, they will say that they play well and play wonderfully, and then come to learn our Chinese kung fu."

"Although the speech is a little messy, it is indeed a person with ideas." Wang Yang actually applauded, this is the first time so far that the award has been awarded, he symbolically clapped twice, and after the applause was over, he said: "We have a lot of martial arts schools in Beijing, I will go back to find out if there are any good seedlings, and send them to Hong Kong to see and understand."

"That's a good idea." Shen Chong said with a smile: "When the time comes, I'll make arrangements." ”

"Ivau, do you think?" After the two hosts appeared again, Zhang Aijia looked aggrieved and said: "This award ceremony, whether there is us or not, it doesn't seem to matter?" ”

"It's true that I also feel that my sense of presence is very weak, and I just went through the motions." He Shouxin also smiled bitterly and said: "No way, who is too dazzling, you see, there are world-renowned painters, rich people with thousands of dollars, and old-timers with equal works, the two of us, one is not famous, two has no money, and three has no qualifications, how can we compare with them?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Aijia was frustrated and said: "Before coming to the awards, I thought I was the protagonist tonight, but now I realize that I am a supporting role. ”

"At least tonight, it's not just you and me who play supporting roles." He Shouxin made a gesture and said, "Let's take a look at who is the best supporting actor tonight." ”

"I invite Mr. Cao Dahua and Mr. Chen Qiang to present us with the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor."

Cao Dahua, known as Uncle Da, entered the industry at the age of 15 and has made nearly ru0 movies, known as the "iron man in the film industry", and plays both protagonists and supporting roles, because he often plays detectives in Cantonese movies in the fifties and sixties, so he is often called "Inspector Cao", and the most familiar role for Hong Kong movie fans should be his detective image in the "Five Lucky Stars" series.

Ge Cunzhuang, Ge You's father, is known for being good at playing villain roles such as traitors, Japanese officers, landlords, and ruffians.

Shen Chong invited the award presenters, only staring at the best and most famous final person invitation, in order to make the first Academy Awards ceremony star-studded, full of momentum, and flawless, decades later, it can still make fans talk about it and smack their tongues and admire, but there are not only political barriers in the two sides of the strait, but also language barriers, deliberately pursuing historical significance, naturally sacrificing the atmosphere of the award ceremony, Cao Dahua and Ge Cunzhuang, one does not understand Chinese, the other does not know Cantonese, and cannot interact when awarding the award, had to say two sentences each, and then put it into the shortlisted short film.

"The Best Supporting Actor at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists are:

Xu Shaoqiang, "Crazy Robbery......

Zhang Guoqiang, "Pointing Soldiers......

Chen Peisi, "Look at This Family......

Sun Yue, "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain......

Tian Feng, "Legend of the Mountain......"

For this award, Wang Yang was full of confidence and said: "Although Chen Peisi has not acted in a few plays, but with Chen Qiang's face-to-face and hand-in-hand teaching, the level is still good, his role in the movie is equivalent to most of the protagonists, and he should win this award." ”

However, the results of the awards disappointed him - "The Best Supporting Actor at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the winner is Xu Shaoqiang, "Crazy Robbery". ”

"Why?"

"Elder Wang, don't be too greedy, you want to win all the awards." Shen Chong explained with a smile: "China is vast, the culture of the north and the south is very different, and the interesting jokes in the north will become an inexplicable farce in the south, and two-thirds of the jury are southerners

"This judging system is not fair, you have to change it."

"There is no absolute fairness in this world." Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said: "In ancient times, the emperor couldn't handle the dispute between the north and the south when he ran the imperial examination, and I was a small businessman, so I couldn't do anything
