Chapter Seventy-Six: Ceremony IV

After reading the shortlist, Wang Yang didn't wait for Lin Fengmian to announce the final winner, so he said directly: "Xiao Shen, you should ask Master Liu Haisu to present the award to Han Shangyi, he once attended a refresher class at Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and he is a student of Liu Haisu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, that is, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, was founded by Liu Haisu in Shanghai when he was 17 years old, it is the first modern art school in China, and the first coeducational school in China, such as Pan Tianshou, Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong and other famous painters, have been teachers in this school.

"Elder Wang, the master is not what you want to invite, you can invite if you want, do you think I am the emperor, and whoever you want to come?" Shen Chong smiled bitterly, looked at him and said, "Besides, who this winner is, it hasn't been announced yet." ”

Wang Yang snorted and said categorically: "If Old Man Han can't win this award, your Academy Award might as well be stopped."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Fengmian on the stage announced the winner, and it was indeed Han Shangyi.

Among the five candidates for best art design, the most familiar to later fans is naturally Zhang Shuping, but in 19ru, he was just a fledgling hairy boy, and at this time, in the entire Chinese film industry, the oldest and most accomplished art designer was Han Shangyi.

Han Shangyi worked as an advertising art designer in Shanghai Tang when he was more than ten years old, and studied in a refresher course held by the Shanghai Art College, with profound art skills, comics and printmaking are famous, he entered the film industry in the early 40s, and has been engaged in film art work for a long time. In 1947, Han Shangyi did the set design for the classic movie "A River Spring Flows Eastward", after the film was released, "the city is vying to see a river spring", and it was released for three consecutive months, and more than 700,000 people watched it in Shanghai alone, which was a sensation.

After the 50s, he did art design for classic films such as "Nie Er", "Lin Zexu", and "Dead Wood in Spring", and is now a dual member of the Chinese Artists Association and the Chinese Dramatists Association, as well as the chief artist of Shanghai Film Studio.

The film "From Slave to General" spans a lot of time and space, from 1915 to 1948, from Yunnan to Guangdong, from Guangdong to northern Shaanxi, from northern Shaanxi to Jiangbei, and the task of set art is extremely heavy.

And the film used troops from two military regions to participate in the performance during the shooting, the scene was huge and magnificent, in this case, it was especially a test of the art designer's ability, because in the big scene shot, each picture contains a lot of details, if the design is not good, the audience will take care of one or the other, dazzled, and don't know where to look.

"From Slave to General" is three hours long, from beginning to end, the art style is highly unified, the set costumes take into account both realism and artistic beauty, the detailed design of the war scenes of thousands of troops is appropriate, the focus is highlighted, the profound art skills, and the performance is incisive, so Wang Yangcai is full of confidence and insists that Han Shangyi will win the award.

Compared with Han Shangyi's work, Zhang Shuping's art design in "Crazy Robbery" can only be regarded as pediatric, because "Crazy Robbery" is an urban movie filmed on the spot, and there is no need for a set, as long as you choose costumes and colors that meet the rules of art according to the needs of the plot and the character of the character, which is easy and comfortable.

The jury of the Academy Awards, with directors and professional film critics as the main body, there are few art designs in filming in Hong Kong and Taiwan, because this job is concurrently held by the director, the director is to master the film knowledge vertically, drama, script, photography, art, etc., all have to understand a little, while professional film critics are horizontal to master film knowledge, to understand the lens language, film history, art appreciation and so on.

Art design happens to be the knowledge that both parties know, so this best art design award is the least controversial of all the awards, and Han Sangyi's score is higher than the scores of the other four candidates combined.

Han Shangyi was born in 1917, at this time he was also an old man in his sixties, he was wearing a Mao suit, wearing wide-rimmed glasses, after taking the stage, he took the trophy from Lin Wenzheng's hands with very respectful hands, shook hands with Lin Fengmian, exchanged a few polite words, and then held the trophy, stood in front of the microphone, and said: "I am very grateful to the jury for awarding this award to me, and I am even more grateful to the organizing committee for inviting Lin Fengmian and Lin Wenzheng, the two giants of the Chinese art world, to present me with the award. In fact, I am flattered and honestly afraid, this little achievement of mine is not worth mentioning in front of the two of them.

"Teacher Lin Fengmian is 78 years old this year, and Teacher Lin Wenzheng is also 78 this year, right? The two teachers are still working hard and making great works, I am only young this year, and I will continue to work hard in the future, and make a contribution to Chinese films. ”

The audience was moved by his old man's spirit and gave warm applause.

At this point in the award ceremony, it is the first **, although art design is not familiar and valued by ordinary audiences, but the award presenters are too famous, too weighty, and too unexpected.

In 1979, at the invitation of the French government, he held a solo exhibition at the Musée d'Oriente in Paris, which was praised by authoritative foreign media and widely reprinted by Hong Kong newspapers and magazines. Naturally, he understands Lin Fengmian's status better.

At this time, the TV station must be inserting advertisements, but the scene is not paused, and the awards are still being awarded.

"Thank you two Mr. Lin for coming to present the award, and congratulations to Mr. Han Shangyi for winning the award." After He Shouxin finished speaking, he said to Zhang Aijia with emotion: "I remember that in many martial arts novels and TV series, there is a line that says: I have admired the name of my predecessors for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to know Jing, and I have to see it today, and the younger generation is deeply honored." I am here to host today, and it is really a great honor to meet the two masters. ”

"Me too." Zhang Aijia nodded with a smile, and then said: "I think the two masters are approachable and easy to talk, why don't you hurry up and invite the next award presenter out, and then go backstage to find the two masters to ask for an autograph, if they are in a good mood and are willing to draw a picture for us, wouldn't it be rich?" ”

"Art is priceless, how can it be measured in money." He Shouxin pretended to count her sentences, and then said very quickly: "Please ask Mr. Huang Zhan and Mr. Zuo Hongyuan to present us with the Best Original Film Song Award." Ivia, go fast, go. ”

In a burst of laughter, Huang Zhan and Zuo Hongyuan walked out.

"There are a lot of people in the audience who know those two just now, right?" Huang Zhan stood in front of the platform, pointed back with his thumb, and said: "When you see the two of them in the future, remember to hide your wallet tightly, don't show it, they are all ruthless characters who pluck the feathers of geese, and even Master Lin dares to take advantage." ”

The audience burst into laughter.

When the laughter stopped, Huang Zhan suddenly said again: "Shen Caishen, do you still have money in your pocket?" ”

The audience burst into laughter again, Shen Chong looked at the camera and turned around, so he cooperated and made a helpless wry smile.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Huang Zhan clenched his fists, coughed, and then introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I'm Huang Zhan." ”

"I'm Zuo Hongyuan."

"Brother Zuo came to present this award, which is absolutely qualified, "I Don't Go Home Today", "I Am a Cloud", "The Moon is Hazy and the Bird is Hazy", "Sea Rhyme", "A Thousand Words", anyway, many good and popular movie songs are from his handwriting." Huang Zhanyu laughed twice and said: "As for me, I have written a movie song in my life, I have forgotten whether it was 67 years or your year, and I wrote a song "Mary Poppins" for Miss Xiao Fangfang's movie, everyone has never heard of it, right?" Hehe, so I'm here to be the guest of honor, I'm very embarrassed, but Shen Caishen has to ask me to come, anyone in this world can ignore it, but I can't help but manage the financial God, everyone said yes. ”

"Mr. Huang Zhan is too humble." Zuo Hongyuan is not as funny as Huang Zhan, he waited for laughter and applause, and then Zhengse said: "Film and television are not separated, Mr. Huang has scored many TV dramas, written a lot of good songs, and is a household name in Hong Kong. ”

"Okay, let's not praise each other, anyway, no matter how much we brag about ourselves, Shen Caishen has no money in his pocket, so he won't add an appearance fee." After laughing and teasing, Huang Zhan said, "Let's hurry up and present the award, if it drags on for a long time, maybe we will be deducted from the money." ”

"That's good." Zuo Hongyuan raised his hand and said, "Let's take a look at the shortlist of the best original movie song tonight." ”

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

"Story of a Small Town", composed by Weng Qingxi, lyrics by Zhuang Nu, and sung by Teresa Teng, from the film "Story of a Small Town......

After releasing the shortlist, Shen Chong turned sideways and asked, "Old Wang, who do you guess will win the award?" ”

"It's hard to say. If I choose, I will definitely vote for "Velvet Flower", after all, it is a movie from our factory, and it is also very good. Wang Yang clasped his hands to his chest and said: "But everyone has their own preferences for songs, if young people come to vote, they will definitely vote for Teresa Teng." ”

"Do you always know Teresa Teng?" Shen Chong was surprised and said, "Didn't the mainland say that it wasn't a beautiful sound?" ”

"I'm not one of those old men who can't eat the old." Wang Yang said with disdain on his face: "Listening to a softer song, the will is not strong, and the mind is corrupted, what a joke If that's the case, why did the Kuomintang bother with the bombardment of aircraft and artillery back then, and directly sent a few girls to sing on the battlefield with loudspeakers." ”

Shen Chong laughed.

Huang Zhan opened the envelope and read out the winners together with Zuo Hongyuan: "Best Original Film Song at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, "Olive Tree", composer Li Taixiang, lyricist Sanmao, singing Qi Yu. ”

Wang Yang squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "What song is this?" ”

"This is a literary youth song." Shen Chong smiled and said: "As you always said, everyone has their own preferences for listening to songs, and the competition for this award is very fierce, and the top three scores are very close, and there is only a few votes between them." ”
