Chapter 194. Big winner
As time passed, the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony finally came to an end.
There is no doubt that the big winner this time is "The True Story of A Fei" filmed by Actor Entertainment.
This film, which was regarded as a "literary classic" in the previous life, finally shined in the hands of Duan Zihao this time, pressing a new and old director and large and small film companies under his feet.
……
In the evening of the same day, the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards held a grand reception in the name of celebration, inviting many famous filmmakers from Hong Kong to participate, in order to let everyone gather together to enjoy the carnival at this exciting moment.
At this reception, no less than 100 people were invited, and all filmmakers who are a little famous in Hong Kong were invited. Even Jiahe boss Zou Wenhuai personally attended the scene to congratulate.
Shaw Brothers boss Run Run Shaw sent a congratulatory message to celebrate the success of the Academy Awards, and it is getting better and better.
As the big winner of this awards ceremony, the actor entertainment can be said to have won a big victory, including two awards with heavy gold content: Best Screenwriter and Best Director.
In particular, I congratulate Duan Zihao on becoming the youngest best director in the history of the Academy Awards, an achievement that will go down in the history of Hong Kong cinema.
……
At around 10 p.m. that night, inside the Hilton Hong Kong Hotel.
As the most shining star of the Academy Awards, Duan Zihao shook hands and talked with the guests who participated in the celebration ceremony one by one.
As the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Harvest boss He Guanchang walked up to the podium with a smile and picked up the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is an important day, although the grand Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony has ended, but on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong Film Awards, I would like to thank all filmmakers for their support and contributions to Hong Kong films in the past year. ”
"In this year, so to speak. Hong Kong films have undergone earth-shaking changes, and everyone here has also contributed to it...... Hong Kong films now have a tendency to become the leading Asian films, which is inseparable from your efforts, so I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have made their own contributions to the development of Hong Kong films! ”
After speaking, He Guanchang picked up the cup in his hand, and under his leadership, the hall burst with laughter and thunder, everyone held the cup together, and the jingle of clinking glasses was endless.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we also want to celebrate the actor entertainment film company, they were able to win the first prize in this grand Academy Awards ceremony, winning several awards such as best screenplay and best director, which is not easy. Some people may want to say, what is this, there have been films that have won four or five awards, but we should be clear that this year's Academy Awards is different from the past. Whether it is "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" or "Seven Days of Wrong Love", as well as "The Great Wall", etc., almost every drama is a masterpiece and a good film. It's a classic! ”
"I wondered, how good works appeared in this year? It's a bliss for us viewers, but for those who are competing for the Academy awards. This is a great pain, the opponent is too strong, what should I do? ”
"Luckily. The film of the actor entertainment company has been recognized by most people, especially Mr. Duan Zihao, he won the award of best director, as a new director, this is the first play he directed, unprecedented and significant! Therefore, on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards, I would like to express my cordial congratulations to Best Entertainment Film Company and Duan Zihao personally, and hope that you can make persistent efforts to produce more and better film works for Hong Kong in the future! ”
"As for other companies and individuals who come to the banquet, don't be discouraged, anyway, the Academy Awards are held every year, as long as you don't give up, you will definitely be able to wait for the day when you win the Academy Awards, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
He Guanchang's second glass of wine immediately made the hall commotion, and everyone laughed and raised their glasses again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this third glass of wine, I think we should toast to all the audience friends who support Hong Kong films and entertainment, without their support, we would never be so successful. So, in our minds, they are our friends who give us motivation, the God who oversees our efforts! Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let's toast them! Cheers to Hong Kong! Cheers to tomorrow! ”
"Cheers to Hong Kong!"
"Cheers to tomorrow!"
Everyone in the hall shouted in unison, and the momentum was majestic.
After three glasses of wine, He Guanchang looked at everyone, smiled, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has listened to me so much, and it is estimated that I am tired of it, many people must want to hear the psychological feelings of Mr. Duan Zihao, the winner of our Academy Awards, then I will no longer delay everyone's time, and invite our youngest best director to speak on stage!" ”
He Guanchang's words fell, crackling, and everyone began to applaud one after another, applause like thunder.
Duan Zihao, who was farting with a group of friends, might as well be named to speak, and couldn't help but sigh for a moment. Wang Jing, the fat man next to him, teased him with a smile and said, "Hurry up, otherwise they will slap him." ”
Helpless, Duan Zihao, who was unprepared, had no choice but to drive the ducks to the stage, and then glanced around with a smile, only to see Leslie Cheung, Liu Dehua and others looking at him eagerly, as well as those guests, who were also enthusiastic, waiting for his speech.
Duan Zihao sorted out his emotions and said: "To be honest, I really don't know what to say when I come up, what I want to say has already been said at the ceremony, I knew that I would be named on stage, so I will leave some ......"
"Hahaha!" Everyone below the stage laughed.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zihao said: "I like to express my views with practical actions, before, I said at the award ceremony that I would give 1 million to support the establishment of the Screenwriters Association, in order to fund and help those screenwriters in need, here, I will do what I say!" As he spoke, Duan Zihao solemnly handed over the prepared 1 million check to He Guanchang of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.
Seeing him like this, everyone who was originally smiling applauded incomparably.
This is a real filmmaker!
Take action for Hong Kong films!
It can be said that from this moment on, many people who were originally a little jealous of him also had to praise him for his efforts for Hong Kong films.
Seeing that Duan Zihao was like this, He Guanchang, as the host, also took out 1 million immediately, as well as Huang Baiming and Mai Jia, the three big bosses of Xinyicheng. Shi Tian, as well as Fang Yihua, who represents Shaw Brothers, also donated different amounts of money to support those talented young screenwriters.
The generosity of everyone immediately pushed the entire celebration banquet to a high ~ tide.
……
During the banquet, Duan Zihao, as the most eye-catching star of this event, was most enthusiastically sought after by everyone, even the new actor Leung Jiahui and actress Ye Tong were not as popular as him.
Duan Zihao's popularity is so strong that even Jackie Chan and Hung Jinbao are a little jealous, so much so that they keep pulling him to fight for wine.
Helpless. Duan Zihao had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and have a drink with them.
Among them, Fa Ge, who was toasting Duan Zihao, suddenly pulled him and said, "Ah Hao, I have something to say to you." ”
Duan Zihao didn't know why, so he followed. The two sat down in a quiet place.
Then Duan Zihao asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Fa Ge took a sip of his wine glass, and then said, "That...... Didn't you invite me to film before, but I refused, but now that I'm thinking about it, can I work with you......"
This time it was Duan Zihao's turn to be stunned, and he laughed out loud: "I thought something was going on." That's what happened. ”
"Even if you don't say I'm going to invite you, and I've prepared a play for you here......"
"Ah, is it? Ahem, but Hao. Let me explain first, I didn't want to work with you because you were the best director, I was ......" Fa Ge explained with a dead face.
Actually, Fa Ge did this for a reason. He has been in the industry for so many years, and he has also filmed a lot of scenes in the film industry. It's a pity that the popular drama is not popular, the box office is not a blockbuster, and it is also known as "box office poison". Now that he saw Leslie Cheung and Duan Zihao cooperating with Duan Zihao for the first time, "The True Story of A Fei" almost made him an actor. Duan Zihao himself directly became the best director and best screenwriter. It was just too much of a stimulus for him.
As a very self-motivated or ambitious actor, Fa Ge pulled down to find Duan Zihao to see if there was a chance for the two to cooperate.
Seeing that Fa Ge's face was red, but he was still explaining, Duan Zihao interrupted him with a smile and said: "I understand this, friends are in our hearts, let's have a drink, everything is in our hearts!" ”
So Fa Ge toasted with him, and the two drank it all very happily.
After drinking, Fa Ge asked Duan Zihao: "I don't know what scene you are going to shoot with me, can you reveal a little plot?" ”
"Hehe, it's a script that suits you, and the specific story content is like this......" Duan Zihao said eloquently, "Song Zihao and his friend Pony are engaged in making counterfeit ~ banknotes. Once, Song took his subordinate Tan Cheng to Taipei to trade, but was betrayed by Tan, and Song was arrested with a gunshot wound. Pony Lonely North kills the gang leader and escapes after being wounded......"
That's right, what Duan Zihao is talking about now is the "True Colors of Heroes" of a typical Hong Kong gang~gang genre film in his previous life!
And this drama is also a masterpiece that helped Zhou Yunfa become the chief student in the Hong Kong film industry, which not only saved him from the notoriety of box office poison, but also helped him open up the domestic and foreign markets and become a hot superstar.
Duan Zihao himself is very good at telling stories, and at this moment, he is eloquent, and he directly attracts Fa Ge.
As this play, there are three important roles, namely Song Zihao played by Dillon, Pony played by Zhou Runfa, and Song Zihao played by Leslie Cheung.
After telling the story, Duan Zihao intended to let Zhou Yunfa choose the role by himself to see which one he liked.
As expected, Zhou Yunfa chose Song Zihao's younger brother instead of Brother Xiaoma.
Duan Zihao couldn't help laughing, the same as the result in his previous life, it seems that many people were not optimistic about the role of Xiao Ma at first, thinking that there was no Leslie Cheung's role, but after the release of this play, it ...... The situation is very different.
So Duan Zihao smiled and said to Fa Ge: "Why don't you like the role of pony?" ”
Fa Ge said very bluntly: "Because I think this is a supporting role." ”
Duan Zihao was stunned again, he suddenly remembered the controversy in his previous life about whether "Little Brother Ma" was a supporting role or a protagonist.
So Duan Zihao smiled and said: "Brother Fa, I hope to be able to understand a truth, the quality of a character is not determined by the role, but by the acting skills!" If a person's acting skills are good enough, then even if he only has one line, then he can steal the show! ”
Duan Zihao's words are not nonsense, he has seen various methods of stealing scenes on the set since he entered the industry: when the two were playing, an actor suddenly pressed his hand on the other's shoulders and said resolutely: "You will always be my good brother." After finishing the lines, the hand still didn't retract, the other party was held down and couldn't move, and the play came to him. The movie is a whole, and I should be better when the opponent is good, just like playing table tennis.
So a really good actor doesn't have to steal the show at all, because the play is on him, so although Fa Ge is a supporting role in "The True Color of Heroes", the role is less than Dillon and Leslie Cheung, but in the end, the most brilliant and remembered is him, as well as the "Little Brother" he played.
Fa Ge is a smart person, as soon as he heard Duan Zihao's words, he understood the meaning, so he nodded and said: "Hearing you say this, I am willing to try the role of Little Brother Ma in it, believe me, Ah Hao, I must play him!" ”
Duan Zihao smiled, then raised his glass and said, "I believe you!" Come, Brother Fa, let's have a drink, I wish you a happy cooperation! (To be continued......)
