Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ceremony Five

Li Taixiang is tall, with tough facial features, and a mustache, he is the conductor of the symphony orchestra, and he often walks on the stage, his every move is very elegant, integrating the taste of a masculine man and the romantic artistic temperament. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"This is Taiwan's principal violinist and conductor of the Taipei City Symphony Orchestra." Shen Chong introduced Wang Yang: "He is a native of Taiwan, a member of the Ami ethnic group, and has composed many classical music works with ethnic customs, and "Olive Tree" is his first time creating popular music. ”

Wang Yang was originally quite unimpressed with Li Taixiang's award, but after listening to the introduction, his expression immediately eased and said: "With such an opponent, Wang Yan didn't win the award, so it's not a loss." ”

"Thank you, thank you for the applause." Li Taixiang's voice is rich, the speed of speech is unhurried, very listenable, he held the trophy, said: "I won this award, very lucky, I have heard the works of several other candidates, they are all very well written, very beautiful, and also give me a lot of inspiration, I hope to make better works for everyone in the future." ”

"This trophy is not my credit alone, I want to thank Sanmao, she is one of the most talented female writers in Taiwan, the lyrics are very well written, very poetic, and of course, Qi Yu, thanks to her perfect voice and singing skills, this song is interpreted so beautifully. Finally, I wish you all a great evening. ”

Li Taixiang's modest attitude caused another round of warm applause.

Wang Yang nodded lightly and said approvingly: "This young man is good, capable, humble, and talented."

Li Taixiang is going to be forty, and he is still a young man......

Shen Chong was about to ridicule Wang Yang's attitude of relying on the old and selling the old, but his shoulder was lightly touched, and he turned his head to see that it was a staff member in uniform.

"Elder Wang, you sit down first, and I'll go backstage."

After Shen Chong and Wang Yang explained, they followed the staff. After a while, it will be his turn to take the stage to present the award, and he will have to prepare - there is a visual difference between the video and reality, and if you want to look natural on TV, you need to put on a little makeup.

The backstage was full of people coming and going, quite busy, and Shen Chong had just walked a few steps when he saw Chen Baisheng hurriedly walking in from outside the Great Hall.

"The two masters are gone?"

Chen Baisheng nodded and said, "Just get in the car, according to the previous arrangement, your driver will drive and come back after sending them home." ”

"The old man should be quiet and not noisy, the noise here is too loud, go back early, everyone can feel at ease." Shen Chong walked towards the dressing room and asked, "Did the live broadcast go well?" What are the ratings? ”

"It's going well, the highest rating points are more than 55, and the ratings are more than 95" Chen Baisheng smiled and said: "The group of ghosts on Li's TV are going to cry, and they refused to cooperate with us at the beginning, so no one will watch their TV series at all." ”

The ratings UU refers to the fact that 55% of all the population in Hong Kong are watching the awards ceremony, and the rating of 9 means that 95% of all households with TV sets on are watching the awards ceremony.

Roughly calculated, at this moment, nearly 3 million of Hong Kong's 5 million people are watching the awards ceremony.

In February,When there was a stalemate with H about advertising,Shen Chong also considered Li's TV,Creative Director Mai Dangxiong is very willing to cooperate,Helplessly, the top management of Li's TV are British,Old-fashioned and stubborn,Resolutely do not accept the review of advertising content,Nor is it willing to accept the cooperation method of joint investment promotion,Common account sharing,I think that it loses the dignity and dominance of the TV station,Plus the ratings of "Six Tribulations of Floating Life" were quite ideal at that time,Li's TV thinks that it has a hole card in its hand,I don't watch the Academy Awards ceremony very much, Lack of sincerity, in the end could not be negotiated.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work." Shen Chong patted Chen Baisheng's back and said, "I'll go put on makeup first." ”

"Okay, you go, I'll watch here, there will be no problem."

Under the leadership of the staff, Shen Chong walked into the largest dressing room in the background, which can accommodate 0 people to put on makeup at the same time, which is a place for the Hong Kong Orchestra to rest, and also a place for guests to temporarily put on makeup

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Chong almost blinded his kryptonite eyes - Teresa Teng was standing in the center of the room, talking to Dong Lin, the music director of the Hong Kong Orchestra, and her set of sky-blue tulle evening gowns studded with crystals shone brightly under the light, shining luxuriously and charmingly.

"It turns out that there is really a peerless beauty in the world who cares about the city and then the country." Shen Chong closed his eyes vigorously, and after getting used to it, he said with a smile: "Teresa, the whole city of Hong Kong will be poured for you tonight." ”

Teresa Teng looked back and saw that it was him, and said with a slightly shy smile: "Mr. Shen came to make fun of me again." ”

"Where to make fun of, I'm just telling the truth. Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. Shen Chong casually said a poem, then sat on the chair, motioned for the makeup artist to move, and then said, "You continue to talk, leave me alone." ”

"I... Mr. Dong and I have already negotiated. Teresa Teng lifted her skirt a little flusteredly and said, "Mr. Shen, I'll go out first." ”

After she went out, Shen Chong maintained an immobile posture and said to Dong Lin: "Mr. Dong, you are a world-class conductor, and you deign to conduct the accompaniment in person tonight, it is too aggrieved. ”

"There is no distinction between high and low music, let alone high or low." Dong Lin smiled slightly and said: "Miss Deng is a very professional singer, the orchestra and pop music cooperation, this is the first time in Hong Kong, I believe it will bring a different feeling to the audience, I am looking forward to this performance, and I hope to follow this opportunity to show the audience the level and strength of our orchestra." ”

After all, Shen Chong only needed to be on stage for a short while, and after a little rectification, it was quickly completed, he stood up, shook hands with Dong Lin, and said, "Mr. Dong, I will leave you with the performance that will be held later." ”

"Mr. Shen is polite, this is my job."

After signing an accompaniment cooperation agreement with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Shen Chong learned that the orchestra's music director, Dong Lin, is a world-renowned Chinese conductor, who served as a violinist in the Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the world's top ten symphony orchestras, in the 50s, and later served as a guest conductor in the world's top symphony orchestras such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

This kind of big bull is really useless to accompany the pop music conductor, so no one planned to invite him out of the mountain at first, but after Dong Lin heard Teresa Teng and the orchestra's rehearsal, he offered to conduct it, this kind of good thing, of course, Shen Chong couldn't ask for it.

At this moment, Shen Chong heard the voice of the curtain in front of him: "The Best Original Film Score at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the shortlisted are:

Luo Dayou, "Crazy Robbery......

Wu Dajiang, "Legend in the Mountains......

Lou Zhanghou, "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" ......

Wang Jujin, "Strange Tales of the Six Dynasties......

Ge Yan, "From Slave to General" ......"

The best original film score is the weakest award in the first Academy Awards, the art design is still supported by the mainland, and the soundtrack is not valued by the entire Chinese film industry, almost all of them equate the soundtrack with the theme song and painting, and few people specially design the music according to the plot and atmosphere.

This is also the reason why three of the five shortlisted films are suspense films - it is difficult for suspense movies to create a terrifying atmosphere based on the picture alone, and they must have a soundtrack.

Among these five candidates, in terms of the future, Luo Dayou has the highest achievement, and is also the most famous, in terms of the present, Wu Dajiang's achievement is the highest, he is a genius of Chinese traditional music, the music director and conductor of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, a pioneering figure in the symphony of Chinese traditional music, and has composed or scored for hundreds of films, including "Dragon Gate Inn", "Chivalrous Girl", "Ti Ying", "Yingtai Crying Blood", etc., are all very classic movies, "Legend in the Mountains" is also the final winner of the best soundtrack of last year's Golden Horse Awards.

But soon, Gu Jiahui's voice came from the front desk: "Best Original Film Score at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, winner, Wang Jujin, "Strange Tales of the Six Dynasties". ”

Shen Chong walked out of the dressing room, just in time to see Zhang Aijia standing next to the corridor, and said to He Shouxin with a surprised face: "It's actually Wang Jujin."

"Mr. Shen."

"Mr. He, the host is very good, I really found the right person to find you, I hope to continue to cooperate in the future." Shen Chong shook hands with He Shouxin with a smile, and then said to Zhang Aijia: "It's very unexpected, isn't it?" ”

"It's not a special surprise." Zhang Aijia looked at his makeup-made face and said: "I'm just surprised by Wang Jujin's talent, do you know, "Strange Tales of the Six Dynasties" only used NT$3 million, which is equivalent to more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, director, photography, screenwriter, soundtrack, dubbing, editing, all done by himself, and now he can still win awards, which is really amazing." ”

"It's really amazing." Shen Chong nodded and said: "I heard Jin Shijie say that Jin Bao also participated in "Strange Tales of the Six Dynasties" at that time, he said that among all the actors, except for Hu Yinmeng and Han Jiang, the others are all amateurs, this movie has a good box office and a good reputation, and Wang Jujin has contributed a lot. ”

"When I was a manager last year, someone told me that if I gave Wang Jujin a chance, there might be another Hu Jinquan in Taiwan." Zhang Aijia tapped her chin with her finger and said with annoyance: "But at that time, he was busy filming a documentary, I contacted him several times, but I couldn't find anyone, and in the end it didn't work, it's a pity." Hey, by the way, why didn't he make it to Best New Director? I remember when he made a documentary and won the Golden Horse Award, he was a photographer. ”

"Because he made a 16nn experimental film the year before last." Shen Chong explained: "That film also won the Best 16nn Feature Film Award at Taiwan's first Golden Harvest Awards in 1978, so it can't be regarded as a new director.

"I see." Zhang Aijia bit her lip and listened to Wang Jujin at the front desk say his acceptance speech, and after a while, asked, "How high do you say his future achievements are?" Could it be the next Hu Jinquan? ”

"Maybe." Shen Chong said ambiguously: "It's up to him to have a chance." ”

Wang Jujin is one of the most regrettable directors in the history of Taiwanese cinema, like a brilliant meteor, fleeting, Shen Chong naturally remembers him.

"The Strange Tales of the Six Dynasties" is considered to be the prelude to Taiwan's new film movement, after its release, it was a blockbuster, and the box office reputation was quite good, even Li Hanxiang gave a high evaluation, and won the Best Director Award at the Golden Horse Awards in 19ru, and was also selected as Taiwan's representative work, sent to the United States to compete for the best foreign language film, but unfortunately Wang Jujin's later development was not good, and after a few works, he disappeared without a trace, even if he was a senior Taiwanese filmmaker, he could not find his trace.
