Chapter 398: Collective Departure
After Lee Xiu-hsien finished his acceptance speech, he was followed by the most important award for Best Director, as well as the Best Film award.
Best Director Award, nominees are Li Xiuxian (public servant), Xu Ke (Shanghai Night), Liang Puzhi (waiting for dawn), Mak Dangxiong (Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers), Yan Hao (like a flowing year).
The call for these five people to win the award is very high, but Li Xiuxian, Xu Ke and Mak Dangxiong have attracted the most attention. Because the three films they directed were all acclaimed and acclaimed, many fans hoped that they would win awards.
Xu Ke, Mak Dangxiong and Li Xiuxian also thought that they could win the award, and they were all dressed up, waiting for the moment when the award was announced.
But when the results were announced, they were a big disappointment. The above three people did not win the award, and the winner was Yan Hao of "The Year of Flowing Water". After winning this award, this film, which is funded by leftist film companies, has won five awards in a row.
This can't help but make people very dissatisfied. Originally, there were not many shortlisted films, but a film won five awards in a row, and they were all heavyweight awards, which almost made people think that the Academy Awards were attacked by leftist film companies.
In the end, the Best Film Award was awarded, and the competition for this award included Xu Ke Film Studio's "Shanghai Night", Shaw Brothers' "Waiting for Dawn", Golden Harvest's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", and Yindu Organization's "The Year of Flowing Water".
Among them, "Shanghai Night" and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" have the highest call for winning awards, and these two movies are also popular and popular, not only have a good reputation, but also have a very good box office. However, as soon as the results of the awards were announced, it was Yindu Institution's "Year of Flowing Water" that won the award.
Mai Dangxiong, who had been patient for a long time, stood up directly. led the brothers of the Mai family class to leave the stage early in protest. Although Xu Keren didn't leave, he also blackened his face on the spot.
This time, his "Shanghai Night" was shortlisted for a total of nine awards, but he accompanied the whole process, and none of them won. He also dressed up to attend, but it turned out that he was just accompanying the prince to study.
And that "The Year of Flowing Water" was shortlisted for ten awards, won six awards, and won many heavyweight awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Newcomer, etc. It really doesn't make sense.
The filmmakers present saw Mak Dangxiong leave the stage angrily. I can't help but follow suit. Because this year's Academy Awards are really outrageous. Almost all of the shortlisted films are literary films, and there are few commercial films at all, which makes a large number of small producers very dissatisfied.
Because in Hong Kong, everyone makes movies to make money, and making commercial films is also the mainstream. Literary films are just a niche. But the current Academy Awards only reward literary films. turned a blind eye to many acclaimed and popular commercial films. made a group of filmmakers who originally supported the Academy Awards feel chilled.
Besides, it would be fine if it was won by other film companies, but now it is the Yindu Organization that won the award. Everyone in the world knows that it is a leftist film company, but many film companies in Hong Kong belong to the Freedom Federation. The two sides can be said to be distinct, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Now seeing that this leftist film company is smiling at the Academy Awards, other film companies feel envious, jealous and hateful, but they also do not want to stay here and applaud others, so as not to be mistaken by the Taiwan authorities for having an affair with a leftist film company.
Therefore, when Mak Dangxiong left the scene angrily, he took the lead, and the others followed. Hulala, hundreds of people walked away in one go, making the already empty stage even more empty.
Liao Yiyuan, chairman of Yindu Institution, was giving an acceptance speech on stage, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many people leaving the stage together. Fortunately, his spirit is strong enough, and he still finished his acceptance speech without changing his face.
"Ah Jin, why don't we go too?" Guan Zhilin reminded.
Han Jin shook his head, "No, you have to lose if you lose." β
"Oh." When Guan Zhilin saw him say this, she had no choice but to nod.
After Liao Yiyuan finished his acceptance speech, Han Jin took the lead in applauding and applauding the victory of Yindu Organization.
In good conscience, the films produced by leftist film companies do have the potential to win awards.
Because they didn't take the commercial route in the first place, they went specifically to win awards. Anyway, with the state's financial subsidies, they can completely ignore the market and shoot some works with a strong literary atmosphere. I especially like to pay attention to the lives of people at the bottom of society, which is indeed easier to appetite for the judges of the Academy Awards.
In the first three years, "Half of the People", "Running to the Angry Sea", "Listening to Politics", etc., were all invested and produced by leftist film companies.
So this time, people deserve to win six awards, and there is no so-called shady theory, so it doesn't matter what kind of protest they want to make.
Liao Yiyuan saw that Han Jin did not leave, but cheered for him, and couldn't help but have a better impression of him. When he came down from the stage, he nodded to him.
After the award of the Best Picture Award, the 4th Academy Awards ceremony finally came to an end.
After the awards ceremony, the organizing committee also prepared a cocktail party for everyone, but not many filmmakers appreciated it. Most of them chose to leave as soon as it was over.
Therefore, only leftist filmmakers, Han Jin's Yongsheng Entertainment Company, as well as Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, and other small film companies were left at the reception. None of the heavyweights remained.
"Jin Shao, thank you for staying and cheering!" Yu Zheng said to Han Jin apologetically.
This year's awards ceremony can be described as the most unsuccessful award ceremony, and she can predict how the newspapers will criticize it tomorrow.
"You're welcome, in fact, I think this year's Academy Awards are pretty good." Han Jin smiled and said, "YT, you've done your best, so you don't have to be too yourself." β
"Thank you for your comfort, Jin Shao." Yu Zheng smiled, "But others don't think so." Today, there are almost no people in Golden Harvest and New Arts City, and Shaw Brothers is not very interested in it, so the authority of the Academy Awards is really getting weaker and weaker. β
Han Jin nodded and said with a smile. "There is a saying, to carry out revolution, you must pull a group and fight a group! At this year's Academy Awards, there were too few people and too many people beating, so it's no wonder that this is the case. β
When Yu Zheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's still too young for you to see through." β
"Mr. Han, it seems that you still know a lot about the affairs of the mainland?" At this time. Liao Yiyuan walked over and said with a smile.
Han Jin also smiled. "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just talking nonsense, in case there is blasphemy against the sages. Thank you for your understanding. β
"Don't worry. We don't do the Cultural Revolution anymore. Liao Yiyuan waved his hand.
"Yes. Now people's livelihood is the most important. Han Jin nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated Mr. Liao on winning the award." That's amazing! It is really admirable to win six awards in a row. β
Liao Yiyuan smiled, "It would be nice if every Hong Kong filmmaker could open it like Mr. Han." β
"In fact, misunderstandings are inevitable after all, but as long as everyone communicates more and understands each other, these knots should be resolved." Han Jin said with a smile, "Mr. Liao, you don't have to worry, Hong Kong filmmakers still know more about current affairs." β
Liao Yiyuan couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard Han Jin say this, feeling that this young man was really not simple. At such a young age, there is such a high level of knowledge, no wonder it has only been less than three years since his debut, and he has already achieved what he has today. Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame!
β¦β¦
Han Jin chatted with Liao Yiyuan for a while, and saw Xu Ke walking towards him.
"Mr. Liao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Han Jin smiled at him, and then walked over to Xu Ke.
"Ah Jin!" When Xu Ke saw him coming, he was not only even more happy.
"What, Director Xu, what's there to take care of?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
"How dare I take care of you, you make more money than me now." Xu Ke laughed.
He has been making movies for so many years, and now he has saved hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
Han Jin has only debuted for three years, and he already has assets of two or three billion Hong Kong dollars. Speaking of which, people are really much richer than him.
"Money, when it comes to a certain amount, it's just a number, and there's nothing to show off." Han Jin waved his hand.
When Xu Ke heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, "It's the first time I've heard of this truth, it's really fresh." Okay, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. β
"Okay, you speak!" Han Jin nodded.
"Do you have any schedules lately?" Xu Ke asked with a smile.
Han Jin was stunned, "What's the matter, there is a new drama looking for me to shoot?" β
Xu Ke nodded, he filmed a "Shanghai Night" last year and earned more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars, so now he wants to try his skills again.
"Yes, if you want to make an urban comedy, you can make some money to spend first." Xu Ke said with a smile.
Now that the film studio has just opened, although a "Shanghai Night" made him an instant hit, he is still facing a lot of financial pressure. So he wanted to make another commercial film to make some money, and then make a movie he liked.
Han Jin smiled, "I may not have time recently, because I have recently invested in a movie, and I will go to Europe in two days to explore the way." β
"Oh?! So when will your movie be finished, and if I can, I still want to leave the role to you. Xu Ke asked him with a smile.
Han Jin's popularity is high enough now, and his box office appeal is first-class, and even so, he is still very dedicated, and he did not play a big name in the crew because he was strong. This point makes Xu Ke appreciate it the most, unlike some celebrities, who get carried away as soon as they become popular, this can't be done, that one doesn't cooperate, and he makes himself feel like an emperor.
"It's hard to say, my movie is a big production." Han Jin said with a smile that his "Modern Cinderella" is like "Best Partner" in Xinyi City, it is a large-scale film, and it will take at least three or four months to finish.
When Xu Ke heard him say this, he couldn't help but wave his hand regretfully, "That's a pity, my role is tailor-made for you." β
"Well, then tell me the story, if you can, I'll run at both ends!" Seeing him with such a regretful look, Han Jin said with a smile.
Xu Ke nodded, and then told him the story. is about a working boy who accidentally met a rich daughter, but mistook her for an ordinary girl, and the rich daughter also hid her background for him. The factory where the worker worked was owned by the daughter of a rich family, and he was promoted three levels in a row to become the deputy manager of the factory.
However, because the general manager of the factory embezzled public funds, he put the blame on the wage earners. And the working boy also showed the true identity of the rich daughter's daughter at the moment, and felt that he had been deceived, so he broke up with her in anger. After many hardships, the two finally reconciled.
The story is a little clichΓ©, but Xu Ke still tells a very clichΓ© story about the sky and the earth, which is full of fun, so that Han Jin can't help but nod his head frequently.
"Well, this script is so good, it will definitely sell well at the box office." Han Jin said with a smile, "Actually, you don't need me, you can just find a male star to play, and the box office won't be bad." β
"Don't say that, it's already you, why should I go to someone else." Xu Ke laughed.
"Who will play the heroine?" Hearing him say this, Han Jin couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Wang Qixian."
"Okay, I'll act!" Han Jin hurriedly raised his hand and said. (To be continued......)
