readx;?β€œ The first Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation Ceremony is now open. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With a rich baritone, the lights of the concert hall dimmed, and a few seconds later, from the back of the hall, a curtain of light was projected onto the big screen in the middle of the stage.

"In 1905, China's first film "Dingjun Mountain" was born, starring Tan Xinpei and produced by Beijing Fengtai Photo Studio."

"In 1913, China's first feature film "Difficult Husband and Difficult Wife" was born, directed by Zhang Shichuan and Zheng Zhengqiu, starring Ding Chuhe and Wang Sickeng, and produced by Shanghai Xinmin Company."

"In 193l, China's first sound film "Singing Girl Red Peony" was born, directed by Zhang Shichuan, starring Hu Die, Wang Xianzhai, Xia Peizhen, Gong Jiannong, and produced by Shanghai Star Film Company."

"In 1948, China's first color film "Life and Death Hate" was born, directed by Fei Mu, starring Mei Lanfang, and produced by Shanghai Huayi Film Company."

As the pictures flashed on the screen, Zhang Aijia came out of the darkness and began to narrate: "This world has light, and then there is shadow, between light and shadow, there is infinite charm, and film is a tool to manipulate this charm, it can βŠ₯ people in an infinitely changing environment, intertwined with all kinds of characters, and stage a thousand strange stories, it is a dream machine, it is the embodiment of fantasy, it is a miracle of the world that brings us laughter and tears." ”

Zhang Aijia took the time just right, and when the narrator finished reading, the 90-second slideshow of a brief history of the development of Chinese films was just over, the lights were turned on, and the curtain was closed, covering the screen.

"Good evening everyone, and welcome to the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, I'm Zhang Aijia

"Good evening everyone, I'm He Shouxin."

"Chinese films have gone through a 75-year process, and in these 75 years, many people have worked hard, struggled, dedicated, and sacrificed for it, and now, just today, there are many people doing the same work as their predecessors."

"That's right, so the original intention of our Academy Awards is not to be exaggerated, let alone to show off, but to record and encourage." He Shouxin said in a reciting tone: "Record those who have contributed to the prosperity and progress of Chinese films, set up monuments for them, cheer for them, and cheer for them."

The opening lines written by the pens in the preparatory committee are not bad, but they are a little serious, but the first one, a little solemn, is not a bad thing.

After He Shouxin read a few more words, he said: "Tonghua Wanlidan Mountain Road, the young phoenix is clear in the old phoenix, the film industry needs to constantly have new people appear in order to maintain vitality and carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, therefore, the first award presented by the Academy Awards tonight is the Best New Actor Award." ”

"I have an award presenter, please." Zhang Aijia made a gesture and introduced in a long voice: "The fourth princess Xiao Fangfang and the seventh princess Feng Baobao." ”

Xiao Fangfang, born in 1947, debuted at the age of 7, 19ru years ago, has acted in more than 300 movies, and was once praised as China's Xiulan by Hong Kong and Taiwan fans when she was a child star

Feng Baobao, born in 1954, started filming at the age of 5, acted in 0 movies before the age of 15, set a world record, and was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and can be called a superstar among child stars.

In 19 years, the seven jade stars of Shaw Brothers Film Company held a wedding ceremony at the Golden Crown Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, known as the "Seven Princesses", which caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry and was talked about by fans for many years.

Eighty percent of the guests attending the awards ceremony tonight are Hong Kong natives, and these two actresses brought them endless joy and indelible memories in the bleak years of the fifties and sixties.

"Baby, do you think it's a little weird that the two of us came to present this award?"

"yes." Feng Baobao said with a smile: "It's okay if the winner is a child, but if it's older than me, it's a little embarrassing." It's strange to say, everyone else is acting at a long age, but when I'm a lot old, no one asks me to act. ”

"Our sisters are sympathetic, and so am I." Xiao Fangfang made a pouted expression of grievance and said: "When I didn't know how to act before, others desperately begged me to act, but now I can act, but I didn't have to act everywhere, so I had to go to the TV station to pretend to be ugly and mess up and eat." ”

The audience burst into laughter, applause rose again - Xiao Fangfang joined H in 1977 to shoot the TV series Lin Yazhen, creating the image of the ugly girl and silly sister Lin Yazhen, laughing all over the city, becoming a well-known comedy character, remade into a movie of the same name in 1978, a big sale, beating Jackie Chan's "Serpentine Trickster", ranking seventh among the top ten grossing movies of the year.

After the applause stopped, Xiao Fangfang took the envelope and said, "Baby, after the award is over, our sisters will go out to find a place to borrow wine to drown our sorrows." But for now, let's take a look at the shortlist for Best New Actor. ”

The hall darkened again, and the curtain opened again, and the shortlisted film clips for Best New Actor began to play

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

Odie, "Tales of a Small Town......

Ma Xiaoqing, "Ah Cradle"......

Siqin Gaowa, "Heliocentric Arrows......

Hu Huizhong, "Huan Yan" ......

Liu Zhaoming, "Butterfly Change......"

"Baby, who do you want to win?"

"I like the little girl in "Ah Cradle" very much, and Odie is not bad, so cute in "Tales of a Small Town"." After Feng Baobao finished speaking, he made a distressed look and said, "If you give an award to a big dancer like Ming P, it will be a lot of pressure." ”

Lau Siu-ming, born in 193l, was Hong Kong's first internationally emerging dancer, who worked as a dancer and choreographer with the Belgian 20th Century Ballet

Last year, Tsui Hark filmed "Butterfly Change" and asked him to go out of the mountain to be the protagonist, and he was nearly fifty years old at this time. He is a representative of the older the more fragrant, since then, out of control, has acted in dramas for more than 30 years, participated in the filming of dozens of movies and TV series, is a very famous and very recognizable gold medal supporting role in Hong Kong, more famous movie roles such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the tree demon grandma, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in Yue Buqun, TV roles such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the light master, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" in Hai Dafu and so on.

After the two gave in, Xiao Fangfang opened the envelope, and Feng Baobao read out the winner: "Best New Actor at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, winner, Siqin Gaowa, "Heliocentric Arrow". ”

This award, in fact, there is no suspense, Siqin Gaowa is in her early 30s at this time, she is in the golden age of actors, she has been a dancer in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Dance Troupe for more than ten years, her acting skills have been honed and matured, and the character image in "Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow" is very plump and has full room to play.

Ou Di of "Tales of a Small Town" is 10 years old, Ma Xiaoqing of "Ah Cradle" is ll years old, and Liu Zhaoming of "Butterfly Change" is 49 years old.

Around the 19ru years, there was basically no concept of fashion in the mainland, and even if there were, it was in the embryonic state, with local retouching, embroidery, and perm, even if it was fashionable, there was no overall concept, and when I looked back at the photos at that time after a few decades, it was either very earthy or very awkward.

Therefore, when the mainland delegation came to Hong Kong, Shen Chong picked up Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong, Siqin Gaowa and others as soon as possible, and asked the professional image design team to repackage them from head to toe.

Before the awards ceremony, after interviewing several actresses, the Hong Kong media gave good reviews, and even their perception of the mainland has also been greatly improved.

Siqin Gaowa permed her wavy head, wore a gray modified bat shirt, and wore a colorful embroidered silk scarf to match, which looked quite graceful, without a trace of rustic, she even participated in national-level performances, at this time, she naturally did not have stage fright, walked on stage very calmly, took the trophy, and said a few words of gratitude to the country for training, thanks to the organizing committee for affirmation and other clichΓ©s, and walked off the stage.

This kind of calm scene of receiving the award obviously could not satisfy the audience, and the applause was far less enthusiastic than when Xiao Fangfang and Feng Baobao appeared, but Shen Chong was quite satisfied, with the current social atmosphere in the mainland, it is easy to be attacked by others, so it is better to be honest.

The next award is the best new director, this time the award guest, one is the mainland film master Xie Jin, the other is the Taiwanese film master Li Xing, cross-strait relations are tense, the two have nothing to say, come up is to watch the big screen......

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

Tsui Hark, "Butterfly Change......

Hou Hsiao-hsien, "Good Morning Taipei......

Huang Jianzhong, "Little Flower......

Liu Guanwei, "No Trick Wins with Tricks......

Zeng Zhiwei, "Kicking the Hall" ......"

Li Xing opened the envelope and handed it to Xie Jin, Xie Jin looked at it and said, "Director Li, congratulations, there is a good seedling in the Taiwanese film industry." Best New Director at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, Hou Hau-yin. ”

Hou Xiaoxian, who was sitting in the aisle on the left side of the first row, jumped up, hugged Chen Kunhou excitedly, and then trotted onto the stage.

At this time, Hou Xiaoxian was only in his early 30s, and after graduating from the National Art School, he stayed up for seven or eight years before he got a chance to be a director.

The competition for this award is much fiercer than Best New Actor, Tsui Hark and Hou Hsiao-hsien are both master-level directors in the Chinese film industry, "Butterfly Change" and "Good Morning Taipei" are sharp, delicate and distinctive, and the jury's score is less than 10 points apart......

After Shen Chong counted the results at that time, he felt a little guilty about Tsui Hark, because if he hadn't gone to Taiwan to open a film branch, Hou Xiaoxian would have to wait at least two more years before he got the opportunity to be a director.

"Little Flower" is of extraordinary quality, but it was co-directed by Huang Jianzhong and Zhang Zheng, so it has a lot of points, but this person has a lot of potential, in the memory of Shen Chong's previous life, he also made movies with more ideas such as "Police Officer in the Year of the Dragon" and "Dahong Rice Shop".

Liu Guanwei's reputation is not very well-known, but when it comes to zombie films such as "Mr. Zombie", "Zombie Family", "Uncle Zombie", I am afraid that everyone in Hong Kong movie lovers knows that everyone knows about these zombie films, and these zombie films are all directed by him.

Zeng Zhiwei doesn't need to mention much, his main business is an actor, and the director's level is very average, this "Kicking the Hall" can only be regarded as an ordinary level, and he studied with the prince.
