Chapter 92: Ceremony 20

"Under the Stars" is an episode sung by Guan Shuyi in 1996 for the classic TV series "Heaven and Earth Boy", it is actually a love song, Shen Chong can plagiarize the song is really limited, so I will use it to make up the number, anyway, the lyrics of this song are hazy and ethereal, you can attach it at will, and sing it before the Academy Awards for Best Film, which will make people feel that they are talking about a good movie. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the most popular female singer in Hong Kong nowadays, Zhen Ni wore a burgundy floor-length dress, and walked out of the backstage and immediately caused a cheer.

Wang Yang looked at his watch, shook his head to show that he didn't understand, and said, "It's going to be twelve o'clock, you Hong Kong people, you still have the energy to shout." ”

"You're an old man." Shen Chong said with a smile: "For young people, night is more attractive than day.

Music plays, and the big screen begins to play stills and clips from famous films in the history of Chinese cinema.

"Dingjun Mountain" ......"

"Difficult Husband and Wife" ......"

"Zhuangzi Tries a Wife" ......"

"The Story of the Orphan Saves the Ancestor" ......"

"The Soul of Jade Pear" ......"

"Love is always short, beauty is always fickle, I don't believe in this day, like a dream under the stars...

"Flowers and a Full Moon" ......"

"Becoming a Buddha on the Ground" ......"

"The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple" ......"

"The Song of the Fisherman" ......"

"Why is it a Cantonese song again?" After all, Wang Yang is an old man who is more than a year old, he stayed up until midnight, his energy was low, and his face was tired, he supported his armguard with his arm, supported his chin, and said, "You should make it all in Mandarin." ”

"No way, now the young generation in Hong Kong, not only can't speak Chinese, but some can't even understand it." Shen Chong was also helpless and said: "The host speaks Chinese, and most of the guests also speak Chinese, if you don't do a few Cantonese songs, there will be no Hong Kong characteristics." ”

"Actually, your Academy Awards cover the whole country, why do you have to add Hong Kong in front of you?" Wang Yang said: "Directly come to the Chinese Film Awards, which is more magnificent." ”

"If the name is not right, it is not good, I am not a big official and I am not a film association, can I get on the national brand if I want to?" Shen Chong smiled and said: "I'll hold a Chinese Film Awards, "Popular Film" will hold a Chinese Film Hundred Flowers Award, maybe in two days, you will also have a Chinese Film Golden Monkey Award, when the time comes, who will be able to tell who is who?" ”

"The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory" Wang Yang couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "Why are you calling it the Academy Award, and we are calling it the Golden Monkey Award?" ”

"This is the Year of the Monkey." Shen Chong said with a natural face: "I think it, the government has always had no talent for choosing names, and if it is held this year, it will be called the Golden Monkey Award, and if it is held next year, it will definitely be called the Golden Rooster Award." ”

"Nonsense."

Zhenni can be described as a natural singer, with a unique voice, can be high and low, can be heroic and delicate, can sing any song, and sing "Under the Starlight" with infinite tenderness, ambiguous and moving.

"Thank you, thank you."

It is said that among the 5 million people in Hong Kong, more than 300,000 people are directly or indirectly engaged in film-related work, and the largest employers in the Hong Kong film industry are naturally Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and the final award is awarded.

"It's finally time for the last prize." Wang Yang let out a sigh of relief, then stood up in response to the occasion and applauded the two Hong Kong film tycoons.

"Originally, I was going to ask you to present this Best Film award next year." Shen Chong waited for the applause to subside, and after sitting down, he said with a smile: "But I see that your physical strength and energy are a little enough." ”

"I have good physical strength" Wang Yang was not convinced, and said: "It's just that depending on what you just said, this best movie must not have the share of "Little Flower", so I am too lazy to socialize." ”

"Chong Zai, your means are high enough, these two tycoons have really been forced together by you." Huang Zhan stepped forward and said, "Tomorrow's newspaper headlines, there must be news that the two of them shook hands and made peace." ”

"How can I have that ability, it's just two tycoons who are high-spirited and bright, and they are just promoting their juniors." Shen Chong was modest and said: "If you go to the theater in two days, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe must still be fighting, and the fight is even more intense." ”

Huang Zhan didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder and retreated with a smile.

Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai were in front of the stage, and after humbling each other for a while, Zou Wenhuai began to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am Zou Wenhuai from Golden Harvest, and the sixth uncle does not need to be introduced, everyone knows the person who came up to receive the award just now." ”

Shaw smiled and arched his hand at the audience.

"Actually, I don't want to come tonight with Uncle Six." Zou Wenhuai's words were amazing, and the audience was in an uproar, and after a while, he continued: "Mr. Shen wants to hold such a grand film award, but he doesn't talk about it in advance, and the awards are taken away by colleagues in the mainland and Taiwan. ”

"However, Mr. Shen is very supportive of this award, Hong Kong's annual film output is second only to Hollywood in the United States, and it really needs to have its own film award." Contrary to Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai is very eloquent, he talked eloquently, and said: "Just now, Director Li Hanxiang and Director Zhang Che both said that they will come to win the Best Director Award next year, and I will also say that next year, we will come to Golden Harvest for this Best Film Award." ”

Shen Chong applauded and laughed secretly, Zou Wenhuai can be described as a slippery head, knowing that Golden Harvest is not a big director who is in the array, he started the idea of the best movie - "Die Hard" has a strong lineup and is highly anticipated, and it has been designated as the best movie in 19ru by many media before it has been released, this movie is co-shot by Oriental Charm and Golden Harvest, half of Golden Harvest blood, won the best movie, he is naturally and honored.

"Next year, next year." Run Run Shaw cherished his words like gold, and only said one sentence: "Present the award first."

In a word, Zou Wenhuai's bold words were in vain......

"Look at the screen."

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

"Crazy Robbery" ......

"Pointing Soldiers"......

Legend of the Mountain......

"Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" ......

"Tales of a Small Town" ......

"Seven Sesame Officials" ......

"Gunfire of the Secret Bureau" ......

From Slave to General......

"Little Flower" ......

"Heliocentric Arrow" ......"

"I said." Wang Yang touched his chin and said: ""Little Flower" and "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" are all movies with the background of the Kuomintang and Communist Wars, and they will definitely not win the award, "From Slave to General" also involves the civil war, and there is probably no drama, "Seven Sesame Officials" is an opera movie, it would be good to be shortlisted, "Heliocentric Arrow" is based on the background of the anti-Japanese war, could it be that it won the award? ”

"You can't just stare at mainland movies." Shen Chong asked rhetorically: "If "Crazy Robbery" won the best director, can't it win the best movie?" ”

"I've watched your movie, and the narrative structure and shooting techniques are really unique, and I can talk about the best director." Wang Yang didn't give face at all, and said: "But I won't accept the best movie, the story is a homicide case, it has no connotation, it is very empty, it can't give people reflection and inspiration, it's similar to performing under the flyover, just have fun, pass the time, after watching it, pat your ass and leave, you can't learn anything." ”

"Elder Wang, why don't you retire and come to Hong Kong." Shen Chong admired his eyes and said: "Be a consultant for me, and you don't have to go to work, I walk the dog and tease the birds every day, eat and drink, and I have all the bags, 10,000 a month, how about it?" ”

Wang Yang snorted and ignored him with a dark face.

Zou Wenhuai tore open the envelope, glanced at it, and then handed the piece of paper to Run Run Shaw with a look of surprise on his face, and Run Run Shaw paused for a while before reading out the award-winning film word by word: "Best Film at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain". ”

The audience was in an uproar, this result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the audience forgot to applaud, exchanged ears, and talked about it.

"This, this, this" Wang Yang stuttered, he sat up straight, and asked, "How can it be "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain"? ”

"Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" failed miserably at the box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the reputation was very average, and it almost caused a storm between investors and directors against Bo Gongtang, and as one of Hu Jinquan's "Korean Double Yellow Eggs", whether it was last year's Golden Horse Awards or this year's Academy Awards shortlist, "Legend in the Mountains" overtook "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" in the limelight, so before the awards, no media thought that it would win the award, and it was regarded as a role to accompany the prince to study, and the probability of winning the championship was only higher than that of "Seven Sesame Officials".

Hu Jinquan himself was also very surprised, he stood up, made a questioning gesture to Shen Chong, and after seeing Shen Chong nodding, he clenched his fists with both hands, turned around with a smile, and hugged his wife Zhong Ling.

After Wang Yang eased up, he urged Shen Chong and said, "Why don't you go up and get the award soon?" ”

"I didn't invest in this movie." Shen Chong smiled and said: "I bought it afterwards, according to the regulations of the Academy Awards, the only person who goes up to receive the award is the investor at the time of filming." ”

After Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This is too embarrassing, it's bad enough to walk the treasure, and you have to be watched by people in public." I don't think anyone will sell you a movie before the Academy Awards are awarded. ”

Shen Chong turned around, and saw Hu Shuru and Luo Kaimu walking out of the crowd one after the other with embarrassed expressions.

"Why "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain"?"

"Elder Wang, according to the rules, I can't spread the content of the vote." Shen Chong spread his hands, made a helpless expression, and said, "So, you can guess for yourself." ”

Wang Yang glared at him with fierce momentum.

"Okay, I'll just say that." Seeing this, Shen Chong said: "The chief has seen it, and he wants to introduce "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" by name. ”

When Wang Yang heard this, his expression softened, and he sighed faintly and said, "I'm afraid of passively messing around."

Shen Chong laughed, after the voting results of the best movie were counted, he was also very surprised, and after a careful inspection, he learned that "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" could win the award, purely because of the competition between cranes and mussels, and the fisherman profited.

The scores of the Hong Kong judges are relatively scattered, and "Crazy Robbery", "Little Flower", and "Pointing Soldiers" are almost neck-and-neck.

The top names scored by Taiwan's judges are all Hu Jinquan's movies -- "Tales from a Small Town" is too competitive and has no hope of winning awards, so it is better to let Hu Jinquan take it, he has been filming in Taiwan for more than ten years, and he is half a Taiwanese, and it is better to give him an award than to a mainlander.

On the scoring table of the judges in the mainland, they uniformly gave the highest score to "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" - just after the turmoil, I have palpitations, and this movie that the chief has seen is the safest.

"Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" won the best movie to everyone's surprise, not that the quality of this movie is not good, this is one of Hu Jinquan's masterpieces, one of Jia Zhangke's favorite ten movies, and the standard is absolutely good.

But in the context of the great era in 1979, this film shot in traditional ways is a bit dwarfed, "Little Flower" was born, thousands of people rushed to watch it, and became the memory of an era in the mainland, and "Crazy Robbery" shook Hong Kong, opened the curtain of the new wave, and revolutionized the rules of the Hong Kong film industry.

Hu Shuru, as the king of Hong Kong advertising, has worked hard in the business world for many years, has gone through ups and downs, and has maintained a good mentality, he took the trophy from Zou Wenhuai's hand, gestured in the direction of Shen Chong, and said: "Mr. Shen, this trophy, you make a price, and I will sell it to you." ”

The hall burst into laughter and applause.

The first Hong Kong Film Awards came to an end amid laughter and applause.
