Chapter 335: Dawn
On April 6, the fifth day after April Fool's Day, the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held.
At the opening, the Four Heavenly Kings were on the same stage for the first time and sang a song "Love of the Year".
Then, Chu Qing killed Huang Qiusheng and got the best supporting actor; Liang Chaowei won the fourth actor * emperor, breaking the record of Fa Ge; "Infernal Affairs" swiped seven important awards, and there was no suspense that it became the biggest winner.
Then, Liu Dehua wore a mask throughout the scene, Wu Junru never smiled from beginning to end, Liu Jialing paid tribute to the medical staff in Hong Kong, and Amei collapsed and was directly absent from the award ceremony.
In the end, Fa Ge, who had not returned to Hong Kong for a long time, appeared in the finale to cheer everyone up.
Because, who wins the award is no longer the theme of this year.
A group of people gathered for a purpose, and everyone was struck with pathos and heroism in their hearts, as before the ceremony, the master of ceremonies, Zeng Zhiwei, said:
"When I received the nominations last month, I thought it was going to be the best year ever, but then I got a lot of bad news. At that time, I felt that the world was so gloomy, and I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to pay attention to it, and I didn't want to be the host of the conference. But on TV, I saw the infected doctors recover and be discharged, and they told the general public that they would still return to the wards and fight this battle again. I was very touched and I knew I had to do this show tonight. β
"No matter what the world thinks of Hong Kong, as Hong Kong people, there is something wrong at home, we must cheer up, clean our home and welcome guests again. Thank you, thank you! β

In fact, let's look at the history of the Academy Awards. Chu Qing is the first mainland actor to win an acting award. Although he is a supporting role, with his recent topic, Cheng DΓΉ, should have been favored by the media. Brush up on the headlines.
It's a pity that it's April 2003, an unusually cruel season. Speaking of the media, he didn't take it seriously, and the trophy was still in Liu Weiqiang's hands.
At this time, the epidemic in the capital is spreading more and more, and the official news is gradually becoming public.
First, a student patient appeared at Beijing Jiaotong University. The contact was widespread, a few days later. A large number of suspected cases were also detected in the school, creating a chain reaction. The education department not only postponed the re-examination of graduate students, but also required college students to study and live on the spot, and advocated that students from other places should not leave the school during the "May Day" period.
Knowledge is broadcast on TV every day. Although the rumors of grabbing vinegar and radishes have stopped, panic is still shrouded, people and vehicles on the road have plummeted, and the huge Chang'an Avenue is empty.
Movie theaters were forced to close, people in big shopping malls were afraid to go, even office buildings had central air conditioning turned off, and the smell of barbecued meat could be smelled in offices......
Liangweiye's business is also getting worse and worse, and there is almost no profit, after Chu Qing discussed it with Fan Xiaoye. Simply close for the time being. The friends in the studio are also idle, except for the proprietress who couldn't hold back and ran to shoot a group of magazine covers, so she didn't receive any other announcements.
And for the entertainment industry. The impact of the epidemic is extremely severe, nearly one-third of film and television dramas have stopped filming, all new album releases have been postponed, and a large number of actors and singers have been idle.
For a time, the domestic entertainment industry seemed to be abolished.
But there are many people who eat with bowls, and a website interviewed dozens of celebrities. I asked them how they were doing. Then one by one, they are listed online in order to satisfy those who love to worry about fans.
A lot of people talk about the pandemic. The second * point is that it is considered to be nature's punishment of human beings, and the cautious point means that it is caused by people's poor hygiene habits.
Of course, they all have a consensus: doctors and nurses at this moment are the most admirable.
Fan Xiaoye was undoubtedly also caught, but she said that when she watched "Cherry Balls" at home all day, the reporter was obviously stuck for two seconds.
This list is very useful, whether it is for fans or artists, Chu Qing only learned about some friends after reading this report.
For example, Liu Ye is filming "Painting the Soul" with Hu Jun, and his work has not been affected. Xiao Taohong is a little miserable, many dramas have been delayed, and the cat is not ashamed of Xu Zheng at home. And Wang Xiaoshuai's "Second Brother" was going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and it was supposed to launch a series of promotional activities, but it also turned out to be a meal.
The most unexpected is Yuan Quan, this girl rehearsed a play not long ago, the stage collapsed, the whole person fell down, the collarbone was fractured, and the skin was directly broken.
Chu Qing was startled, hurriedly called her, and then rushed to the hospital with her daughter-in-law to visit.
Yuanquan has been treated conservatively for almost two weeks, but it has no effect, and his face is so pale that he can't look good. Xia Yu was too busy, she didn't tell her parents, and she only had a little assistant by her side to accompany her, and she looked very desolate.
Fan Xiaoye persuaded her to call her parents, this girl is still stubborn, afraid that the old couple will worry.
As a result, Chu Qing became angry, and scolded her with a crackle: when the parents learned that their children were injured, they did not go home as soon as possible, but chose to support themselves...... Far from feeling relieved, they feel more bitter guilt.
Yuan Quan had never seen him angry, and he felt very scared, so he had to admit it on the spot.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the afternoon, the Beijing CPPCC.
In the conference center, the hall has been set up, with long tables and wide chairs, a podium in front, a red curtain hanging, and a banner above it: The capital's performing arts industry has donated money for medical workers fighting on the front line.
Feng Xiaogang, as the initiator, was standing on the stage and introduced: "These days, everyone is cherishing each other and reminding each other to pay attention to health and safety. But what we talked about the most was the medical workers who were fighting on the front line, and we were really touched by the fact that they were so amazing that they didn't go home for the sake of their work, and risked their lives to treat patients wholeheartedly. Two days ago, I met with Ge You and Guoguo, and it just so happened that they also had this idea, so I became the operator......
Chu Qing and Fan Xiaoye sat at the bottom, and there were also Uncle Ming, Xu Fan, Zhao Baogang, Jiang Kun and others, adding up to a total of 13. Because it is a public welfare nature, it is inconvenient to publicize it, so there are not many reporters, and they are all party newspapers and official media.
The people present have a very high status in the circle, and the CPPCC did not dare to slack off, and sent a vice chairman to accompany them.
There are many people who know about this, but some really can't come, like Jiang Wen, Zhang Tielin, Wang Gang, Pu Cunxin, etc., all of whom have entrusted people with money.
There is one thing in the entertainment industry that is very good, he knows how to judge the situation, and he is usually a star, hey, when it comes to a special period, he immediately becomes a person in the entertainment industry.
Don't look at the entertainment industry and the entertainment industry seem to be the same, there is a big gap. The former is an artist, and it is called a drama if it is ugly, but the latter is an artist, with this name, disaster relief performances, donations and charity, who dares not to praise you: virtue and art!
Of course, whether it is sincere or false, as long as they work hard, it is commendable.
As soon as Feng Xiao finished speaking, Jiang Kun continued, and when he was OK, it was time for the formal donation. This is the main event, and the reporters have picked up their cameras and prepared to take pictures.
Director Feng was the first to come to the stage, opened the paper bag, took out a wad of money and stuffed it into the box, and by the way, he also stuffed a wad for Jiang Wen. After that, it was Zhang Guoli, Uncle Ming, and Zhao Baogang who came to the stage in turn, and Chu Qing and his wife were in the middle.
The amount of donations is exquisite, less cold, more conspicuous, and just right. The couple discussed privately and decided to donate 10,000 yuan each.
Soon, the donation ended, and the staff counted the cash and announced on the spot: a total of 240,000.
"Poof!"
Chu Qing almost sprayed, and there were only 23 people who participated directly or indirectly, it seems that everyone has a good heart, and they are all good actors.
You can't say they're immoral and pretentious, but honestly, it's a show. They need it, and the government needs it even more, for the sake of face, reputation, shared suffering, and inspiration.
Therefore, Director Feng finally said that the money is very insignificant, and he hopes to buy some nutritional products for the medical staff to express everyone's feelings.
The vice chairman responded very appropriately: The donations are numerous, the affection is priceless, thank you to the colleagues in the entertainment industry, we will do our best to transfer the money to the relevant departments.
At this point, everything is in harmony.
The event was very short, and the group dispersed in more than 40 minutes. When parting, Feng Xiaogang came over to say hello and said, "Qingzi, thank you for your support!" β
"Yes, do you do your best." He laughed.
"Okay, we'll see you again another day!"
The creature grinned and turned to flash.
This is appreciating faces, praising each other, and seeing each other well in the future, Chu Qing knows it and doesn't care too much. He wanted to have a few words with Uncle Ming, but unfortunately he was too cold and didn't have a chance to talk.
Then the two got into the car, and as soon as they started it, Fan Xiaoye's mobile phone rang.
She said that she could hang up in a minute, paused inexplicably, and said: "CCTV wants to record a public welfare gala, Sister Wang said let me participate, and they agreed." β
"And then?" Chu Qing looked at her little appearance and knew that there was something to follow.
Sure enough, the girl looked strange, and said excitedly: "They still invite you to go!" β
