Although the Academy Awards were held for the first time, the overwhelming publicity and fanning the media made all the shortlisted candidates full of desire for the trophy, so after the ceremony, those who won the award were happy, and those who did not win the award were sad.
One of the most frustrating is Li Xing, as Taiwan's most famous director, "Small Town Story" took advantage of the Golden Horse Award for Best Film, and was shortlisted for seven nominations, but the result was empty-handed and nothing, which can be described as sad to the marrow, but as the head of the delegation, after the ceremony, he had to be interviewed and harassed by reporters at the cocktail party held in the Western restaurant of the Cultural Hotel.
"May I ask Director Li, how do you feel about tonight's awards ceremony?"
"It's grand, it's gorgeous, it's magnificent."
"This Taiwanese film only won three awards, isn't it a bit out of standard?"
"It's four awards." Li Xing corrected: ""Legend in the Mountains" is a Taiwanese movie, and Hu Jinquan won the best costume design. ”
"Even so, Taiwan only won four less important awards, Hong Kong won seven awards, and the mainland also won six awards, including the very heavy Best Actor and Actress, what does Director Li think about this?"
"What is an unimportant award" Li Xing said with a black face: "Isn't the best new director important?" Isn't it important to have the best movie music? Hou Hsiao-hsien won the award, Li Taixiang won the award, and Wang Jujin won the award, they are all newcomers, which shows that our Taiwanese film talents are full of talents, and the future is very bright. ”
"These three people are all behind-the-scenes filmmakers, what does Director Li think of Taiwan's current actors?"
"Last year, the Taiwanese film industry experienced a lot of things, like Gui Yalei and Lin Qingxia didn't film much." Li Xing adjusted his emotions for a moment before continuing: "They are all very competitive actors, and if they encounter good works, they have a great chance of winning awards." ”
""Tales of a Small Town" is the best film at the Golden Horse Awards, but it won this Academy Awards, what do you think is the reason?"
"I don't know, I'm not a member of the jury"
"Director Li, can you comment on tonight's list of winners?"
"I personally think that only five films from Taiwan have made it to the shortlist, which is unreasonable, Taiwan produced hundreds of films last year, and there should be more films shortlisted." Li Xing strongly supported Taiwan and said: "Lin Fengjiao didn't win the Best Actress, I also think it's a pity, she played a very wonderful role in "A Small Town Story", and Hu Huizhong didn't win the Best Newcomer, it's a pity, her talent is obvious to all, and she also won the Best Newcomer at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. ”
"Director Li Xing, what do you think of Mr. Zhao Dan's speech at the Lifetime Achievement Award?"
"Mr. Zhao Dan is an actor I respect very much, and he has acted in many masterpieces that can be recorded in the history of Chinese films." Li Xingzi said carefully: "The system problem that Mr. Zhao Dan said is a matter for the government, not in his position, not in his politics, I am just a director, just filming." ”
"But as we all know, Taiwan's political system seriously restricts the development of films, and Director Li, as the chief director of China Film, has nothing to say about this?"
"I don't think there is any big problem with Taiwan's system, we have produced a lot of wonderful movies in Taiwan, and we can't deny it all because of last year's poor performance." Li Xing was a little impatient and said: "As a large production company owned by the government, China Film has the responsibility and obligation to educate the society, and it cannot deliberately shoot some movies that do not conform to the actual situation in Taiwan because it caters to the market and film awards."

"Will Director Li Xing come to the Academy Awards next year? competes with Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che, two big directors.
"I'm planning to make a biographical film based on the famous Taiwanese writer Tan Lihe." Li Xing has a good sense of business, and immediately promoted his movie: "The script of this movie is very well written, with twists and turns, and very deep, I plan to invite Qin Han and Lin Fengjiao to star, they are both very good actors, although the purpose of my filming is not to win awards, but I believe that I will definitely come to the Academy Awards next year." ”
Li Xing was sad, and Hu Jinquan was smiling.
"Director Hu, what do you think of the best film won by "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain"?"
"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure." Hu Jinquan held a glass of champagne and said with a red face: "I want to express the so-called Zen of Buddhism through the entanglement of interests of the three forces and the final defeat, this movie has a very average box office in Hong Kong, and now it can win an award, which means that my idea has been recognized, and I am very happy." ”
"Aren't you surprised? After all, before the awards, "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" was not favored. ”
"There is a little bit of an accident, and several other movies are also very good movies." Hu Jinquan said: "Actually, I am personally more optimistic about "Legend in the Mountains", after all, that drama won the Golden Horse Award, and there are preconceived factors. ”
"Congratulations to Director Hu, who filmed two dramas and won two awards. Do you have any plans to make a film this year?
"I'm not sure this year because I'm filming very slow, and it may take a long time to prepare." Hu Jinquan said with a smile: "I have a lot of ideas, but I haven't decided what to shoot yet, Zhong Ling is also helping me refer to it, and when she writes a script, we'll take a look." ”
"Director Hu, there were rumors last year that you planned to go to the mainland to film, is it true?"
"I can't say, I can't say." Hu Jinquan is also an old man, he refused to say it clearly, and said perfunctorily: "This depends on the arrangement of investors, I just care about filming." ”
"Is the investor Mr. Shen?"
"It's possible for him to invest, but only if I come up with a script and a shooting plan first." Hu Jinquan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Shen thinks that I am easily distracted and not focused enough when filming. ”
Several reporters laughed......
"Director Hu, tonight, filmmakers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will get together again after decades, and they will be happy, do you think Taiwan will revoke the ban on Hong Kong films not being filmed in the mainland?"
"Of course I hope so." Hu Jinquan thought for a moment and said; "I grew up in the mainland, I really hope to have the opportunity to go back to filming, the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers in the mainland, the richness of cultural monuments, is incomparable to South Korea and Japan, there are tens of millions of mainlanders in Taiwan, if the ban can be lifted, whether it is for the audience or for the filmmakers, it is very good, after all, the mountains and rivers have always been there, not to say that filming is banned, they do not exist."
"May I ask if what Director Xu Anhua said is true? promised her to be an assistant director. ”
Hu Jinquan laughed embarrassedly and said: "There is such a thing, in fact, it's not that I forgot, but I didn't have any drama to shoot at that time, even if she was promoted to be an assistant director, she also did some assistant work to sort out the paperwork, so I didn't mention the stubble, and later when there was filming, she went to h again I didn't expect her to remember it now, haha." ”
"May I ask if Director Xu Anhua is your student? Can you comment on her films? ”
"I can't count, I can't count, her skills are all learned in the UK, and she is from a professional class, not the path I pondered by myself." Hu Jinquan waved his hand again and again and said: "She can succeed because of her own efforts." As for the movie, I also watched it, it was very novel, very Western, fast-paced, completely different from my style, but it was also very good-looking, young people should like it, she was very talented and had a great future. ”
"Director Xu, congratulations, you won the best director for the first time you made a movie, how do you feel now?"
"Thank you." Xu Anhua put the trophy on the table and said, "It's like a dream, I can't believe it."
"I heard that you were filming with the world's great director Akira Kurosawa in Japan, is it true?"
"It can't be regarded as filming together, I just follow along." Everyone was eating, and the atmosphere of the interview was relatively relaxed, Xu Anhua introduced: "Master Kurosawa is making a movie called "Shadow Samurai", and Mr. Shen happens to have an investment, he knows that I admire Kurosawa very much, so he asked me to go to Japan with the crew. ”
"Are you in Japan, do you count as a job or study? Self-paying? ”
"No, everything is arranged by Mr. Shen, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are all paid for by Oriental Charm." Xu Anhua smiled and said, "Mr. Shen is a very generous boss. ”
"It's still free to be able to film with the world's big directors, I think all Hong Kong filmmakers envy you, Mr. Shen is really good to you."
"He's so good." Chen Yunwen took two small plates with cakes, walked over, handed one to Xu Anhua, and interjected: "Sharpening knives is not a mistake for chopping wood, Shen Caishen wants to raise Sister AUU, and then work for him for the rest of his life." ”
Her unbridled words made all the reporters around her laugh.
"Miss Chen, did you really buy the dress in Paris?"
"Of course." Chen Yunwen was stinky, swayed left and right twice, and said: "Genuine, 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, tailor-made by Chanel's chief designer." ”
The reporter was amazed, and the flash lights kept on, attracting the attention of many people.
"Miss Chen's dress is the most expensive tonight, right?"
"It's not." Chen Yunwen sat down next to Xu Anhua and said: "The embroidered dress on Zhang Aijia's body must be more expensive than mine, I heard that the fabric is all handmade, and I waited for two months to wait, Shen Caishen spoiled her so much, it must be more expensive than mine." ”
Several entertainment reporters were a little dumbfounded when they heard this.
China has always had a tradition of not revealing wealth, Hong Kong's traditional wealthy families are very low-key, there has never been such a luxurious public party, 80,000 yuan, equal to the salary of ordinary salarymen for a year, equal to the salary of a popular star for a movie, such a large price to buy clothes, is not the most expensive, and this is just clothes, and how much is the value of the matching jewelry?
"Director Xu, how much does this set you wear?"
"I'm cheap." Xu Anhua was wearing a light gray blouse, which was more neutral and looked inconspicuous at all, and she said: "It's only a little more than 20,000." ”
The reporter looked at each other, and a person asked: "I inquired just now, the dress that Miss Liu Xiaoqing is wearing seems to be only more than 10,000 yuan?" ”
"She's a ready-to-wear that's mass-produced, and Sister Aau's is custom-made." Chen Yunwen is very researched about clothing, and said: "Liu Xiaoqing They only arrived the day before the ceremony, and they can't be customized, so they can only use ready-to-wear clothes.
"Are these dresses really given away by Mr. Shen for free?"
"Yes, Shen Caishen is still very trustworthy when he speaks." Chen Yunwen ate the cake and said with a regretful face: "Actually, I am still too timid, I should go to the chief designer of Chanel to order it, do you know?" Audrey Herze's Givenchy dress costs at least $100,000, compared to Hollywood, we in Hong Kong are still a poor country."
"Miss Chen, you used Mr. Shen's money to buy such an expensive dress, isn't your husband jealous?"
"Far from being jealous, he's happy." Chen Yunwen laughed and said: "He said that I wrote a script for Shen Caishen for a year and bought a skirt of 80,000 yuan, and people can still go home every day, which shows that his charm is no worse than Shen Caishen." ”
"I heard that it only took you one day to write "Crazy Robbery", and then you won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, so why did it take a year to write this new script?"
"I wrote "Crazy Robbery" for Sister AUU, and she liked it, so she started filming, and changed it while filming." Chen Yunwen complained: "But this new script is written for Shen Caishen, he is good at everything, he just likes to find faults, every line has to be pondered, it is so annoying, the script has been changed and changed, and I don't remember how many times I have changed it until now." ”
"Are you done writing it now?"
"I finished writing it, and it was finalized last month." Chen Yunwen grinned and said: "This dress is a reward, and then I will be relaxed, and it will be Sister AUU's turn to have a headache." ”
"Is this new work directed by Director Xu?"
"I co-directed with Yan Hao." Xu Anhua pushed his glasses and said: "Mr. Shen has high requirements for this drama, and the scene is relatively large, it may take more than a year to shoot, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with next year's Academy Awards." ”
"Is it a big production like Die Hard?"
"It's different, it's not a type at all." Xu Anhua put down the plate and said: "This drama is a biographical movie, with a relatively long time and space span, and pays more attention to the plot rather than the scene. ”
"Who is Director Xu going to find to act?"
"It's not decided yet, Yan Hao and I plan to investigate more." Xu Anhua hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We are considering cooperating with mainland actors, and you have also seen tonight that mainland actors are very powerful."
"Director Xu plans to film in the mainland? Aren't you afraid of Taiwan's blockade? ”
"This is a movie about Cantonese opera, and I don't think Taiwanese people should like to watch it." Xu Anhua has no concept of the ban, and said: "Mr. Shen said that there will be no long-term confrontation between the two sides of the strait, and exchanges and integration will soon become the mainstream, and the Academy Awards will get off to a good start. ”
The reporters were speechless, they were all old rivers and lakes who ran entertainment news, Shao Yinyin was banned for more than two years because the American media gave her the nickname of "Chinese Doll", and the ban has not been lifted until now, Xu Anhua's remarks are obviously too underestimated the power of the ban.
"Miss Chen, you are the most popular screenwriter in Hong Kong now, do you have any new work plans?"
"I have a lot of commissions from studios, but I'm not going to rush to write them." Chen Yunwen put down his fork, looked at several reporters, and said, "Do you know what Shen Caishen said when he gave me this set of clothes?" He said that I should go the high-end custom route and not compete with ready-to-wear stores. ”(..) (The Birth of a Cinematic Empire/)
