"Oh!"

As soon as the name was announced, the audience first whispered, and then slapped violently.

Zhou Xingchi was in a trance for a moment, then smoothed his clothes carefully and stood up. Liu Dehua had the best relationship with him and hugged him tightly, although Zhang Xueyou was disappointed, he also high-fived him to congratulate.

Chu Qing stretched out his hand while leaning his leg to give way, and said, "Congratulations!" ”

Zhou Xingchi was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and smiled again, shook hands with the other party, and carefully and apologetically squeezed through the long seat. When he reached the wide passage, he relaxed his whole body and walked briskly to the stage.

At the age of forty, he has finally reached the pinnacle of glory, but he can no longer laugh like the king of comedy, even on the podium...... He is wooden, dull, tired, and a little helpless, which makes Liang Jiahui, who has a compelling aura next to him, more like a new actor.

Zhou Xingchi took the trophy, coughed and said, "Thank you, thank you, Brother Xueyou, Brother Hua, Qingzai, Liu Ye." Uh, please allow me to be strict and talk about my first time. ”

"Haha!"

There was a chuckle from below.

He still had a calm, slow, and clear voice:

"Thank you to the late Mr. Bruce Lee, because he was obsessed with his movies back then, so he aspired to be an actor; Thanks to the two teachers in the TVB training class, because of them, I know what acting is; Thank you to producer Lim Lizhen, because she discovered me to do children's programs; Thank you Li Tiansheng for filming my first TV unit drama; Thank you Liu Jiahao for filming my first costume drama; Thank you Lee Xiu-hyun for making my first big movie; Thank you Wan Ziliang, Li Lizhi, and Wu Mengda for giving me a lot of encouragement in performances, thank you to the conference, and thank you to the audience. ”

"Whoa!"

The applause was like a tide, and everyone had different thoughts and the same feelings.

At this point, the ending is clear, and it is estimated that everyone has a score. Sure enough, the awards for Best Director and Best Picture followed. It was awarded to Zhou Xingchi without surprise.

"Shaolin Football" has become the embodiment of the immortal spirit in Hong Kong movies in the past two years, it has swiped 60 million historical box office, and it has made many audiences who no longer watch local films re-enter the theater.

The judges wisely saw this, so they gave the most and best trophies to "Shaolin Football", not to reward how wonderful it was, but to reward its great contribution.

When Wu Siyuan resigned as chairman of the Academy Awards, he once said: We have long been barren, and no matter how lively the awards are, it is an illusion.

Just like him, many have struggled for Hong Kong films for ten years. Twenty years old guys, finally tired, tired, disheartened. If you don't understand their loss, you can't understand what Shaolin Football means to Hong Kong.

Of course, not everyone is happy to see them, especially those who lose.

The ten nominations of "Lan Yu" actually got nothing, which made Zhang Yongning very, very indignant, and couldn't help but squirt: "Naked localism!" ”

“……”

Guan Jinpeng heard it. But he can't argue with it, he himself is a participant in this collective nostalgia and sadness. Perhaps the most helpless thing in life is to watch the beautiful world in your heart come to an end step by step.

This concludes the ceremony. If you feel more happy, it should belong to those mainland reporters, secretly patting their chests: Fortunately, Chu Qing did not win the actor. Otherwise, I don't know why I'm here.

As for the dinner after the awards, Chu Qing didn't go to attend, but just drank half the night with the crew members in the bar.

Zhang Yongning's love xù was very excited. The scolding kept scolding, and Ah Guan persuaded him on the side. He was responsible for comforting Su Jin, and he was also very depressed, not only did he not win the award, but he was also fired on the spot and became the object of laughter.

Therefore, she has a rather bad impression of her Hong Kong counterparts, feeling very arrogant and domineering.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chu Qing sent off his partners.

For him, it means that from the end of 2000 to the end of April 2002, the story of "Lan Yu" has been completely closed, and there will be no more waves.

…………

Wang Shuo in "The Ignorant and the Fearless", once sprayed Jin Yong and Qiong Yao to death, but he praised Hong Kong films, and especially mentioned a film, which was highly evaluated: "The director of "Flying Love Novel", I don't know who it is, it is very good-looking, the technique is smooth and weird, the young director in the mainland is stupid, and he is too clumsy to shoot things!" ”

This director, named Ye Jinhong, has been Ah Guan's deputy, is not from a professional class, has been mixed for many years, and when he really became a director, it was already in 1997.

He has filmed three films, "Flying Love Novel", "Half a Cigarette" and "Lavender", which have a good reputation and are very popular with young people.

"A Leaf Cane" is the fourth work, and it follows the same tone as "Half a Cigarette", setting in the seventies, expressing Xiàn's memories of the past and searching.

What to look for?

Of course it's youth, boy!

Early May, Cheung Chau.

Located in the middle of Lantau Island and Lamma Island, about 10 kilometers away from Hong Kong, with a population of about 30,000, it is a fairly dense place. The island's inhabitants make a living from fishing and shipbuilding, and tourism has recently developed rapidly, and the infrastructure is so complete that there is a rather vulgar way of saying it: paradise.

It is said that in the past ten days after the end of the Academy Awards, Chu Qing has been studying the script at home, the story structure is very simple, the theme is just two words, nostalgia.

The character he plays is called Afan, tall, a little dark, very thin, and a slightly silly personality.

He was quite worried at first, because he had not been exposed to this kind of background and living environment, but he grew up in the hinterland. But after careful analysis, it was found that there would be a strong sense of resonance. That scene is so similar to my own memory, it's so interesting!

It can be said that before the movie started, the nerves in his whole body had been mobilized and were ready to erupt.

"Brother Qing!"

The sun was dazzling, and Huang Younan came over to greet him with a retro curly hair, with a respectful attitude.

Ya is the second male lead, a proper newcomer, who has only made one film before, that is, the one who smacked with Zhou Gongzi in "There is a Hollywood in Hong Kong".

"Hey, Anan, go on!"

Chu Qing had just peeled the sugarcane, threw it over casually, picked up another one, held the knife in his right hand, and began to peel the skin.

Huang Younan watched him move while gnawing. Seeing that knife go down, peel off the skin without any difference. In just a dozen strokes, a long white pole was formed, smooth and flat, without even a bit of stubble.

"Wow, Brother Qing, you used to sell cane?" The kid couldn't help but marvel.

"Come less! I practiced for a week, and I scrapped several baskets. ”

Chu Qing smiled, held it in his hand, and took a big bite. I felt that my mouth was full of sweet juice, and praised: "Well, the sugarcane in Cheung Chau is really good!" ”

The area where the two of them stayed was the central neighborhood of the island, with narrow alleys and low-rise commercial shops. And behind them, there is only one antique theater, hanging with decades of dust vicissitudes.

The art director of the movie is Xi Zhongwen, a top Hong Kong celebrity. Under his setting, the simple and traditional alleys are instantly restored to their former appearance.

The mottled patterns on the walls, the rice shops pick up the dull green silk cloth banners. There are also pairs of old shoes in the glass window, and a slightly yellowed poster of "Jingwumen" at the entrance of the theater......

Xi Zhongwen's skills are complete, the set is really scary, and there are many uncles from that era in the crew. When I saw it, I sighed one after another, and by the way, I wiped a handful of ruthless tears from the years.

"Hey, Brother Qing. When will the TWINS be on the island? Huang Younan finished chewing on the sugarcane and asked boredly.

"The day after tomorrow, it's not their play yet."

Chu Qing felt a little hot, so he pulled his collar and said with a smile: "What, you like them?" ”

"Yes, who doesn't like them among the young people in Hong Kong now?" When the girl was talked about, the whole person was complaining, and asked, "I like Asa, I have a great personality, what about you?" ”

"I, I ......"

He just wanted to say that he didn't like any of them, but Huang Younan hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Ah, I understand, you must like Gillian!" ”

"Huh? How do you know? He wondered.

"My friends around me all like Gillian and she looks beautiful."

Chu Qing pouted, I'm not Teacher Chen, I like wool!

……

"Sugar cane, come buy sugar cane!"

In the small stall in front of the theater, Chu Qing and Huang Younan shouted hard. The central block is already lively, and group performances are everywhere, so you only need to arrange a move.

Two seconds later, a bicycle came into view, and the cyclist glanced at the back seat, which was tied to a box covered with cloth.

Chu Qing and the two glanced at each other, smiled awkwardly, and ran away, leaving the old grandmother to stomp her feet and scold: "Stinky boy, where are you going, come back to help!" ”

"Click! Pass! ”

Ye Jinhong played it back and felt that it was acceptable, so he waved his hand.

This is the first scene of the start-up, which is relatively simple, but the following is much more important. As the director shouted, the brothers of the props team immediately pushed over six old bicycles, dirty and with headlights.

The photographer also quickly climbed into the pick-up truck, set up the machine, and adjusted the focus.

Ye Jinhong personally went over to arrange the position, Chu Qing took the lead, Huang Younan was later, and the remaining four passers-by were casual. The main thing is to leave their space, not too crowded, not too scattered, so that it is comfortable to watch.

This scene needs to be filmed in a car, so the speed must be coordinated, and a group of people tried more than a dozen times before they barely achieved the synchronization effect.

“READY？ READY？ ”

The director fiddled around again, feeling almost done, and turned around and shouted.

"Photography OK!"

"No problem with recording!"

"The vehicle is normal!"

“Action！”

With a bang, Chu Qing kicked hard, and the car swooped out, followed by Huang Younan and his friends.

He hadn't ridden a bike in a long time, and he felt so cheerful that he was pedaling so hard that he leaned forward completely, and his shoulders kept shaking.

Huang Younan rubbed his tires behind him one second, and ran to him to kick the next second, Chu Qing also waved his fists, and the two of them fought all the way.

The truck carrying the photographer moves forward at a constant speed, and the camera suddenly throws away, suddenly zooms in, and suddenly nails it to his face, giving a clear close-up.

That face, grinning, laughing, without any traces of performance, was extremely relaxed.

It's like a long, long time ago, he rode to school, the weather was very hot, his head was sweaty, and his schoolbag was trembling and patting his hips.

It's like a long, long time ago, he rode his bike to the dam with his buddies, whistling, singing, and snow-white catkins flying around.

It's like a long, long time ago, he rode his car and drove the girl all over the world to find a restaurant that he could afford.

……

T-shirts, shorts, cheap sneakers with rubber soles, wanton and unrestrained, whistling away.

Walk through the wet cobblestone streets, past the green bricks and mossy village houses, past the tangled banyan trees, and past the grocery stores with scattered snacks...... Finally, the crunch stopped in front of a swanky western-style building.

Everyone turned back in unison and looked at the small white vests hanging on the balcony on the second floor, as well as the black bra*.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"It's really big!"

"Bigger than your mother!"

"If you can see this girl, use her jade hands to gently put it in, it will definitely be cool to death!"

Chu Qing supported the ground with one foot, rubbed his chest restlessly with his right hand, silly and full of anticipation, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait!" ”

Under the sun, the shadows of the trees were dappled, and the six young people leaned on the car and looked back, looking at the balcony in a daze, as if they were fantasizing about the woman who was about to come out of the house:

Is she a big wave with a thin waist?

Or is it long hair and quiet?

Or is it cute?

……

The so-called youth is more or less similar. (To be continued......)
