A song by Principal Tan Yonglin kicked off the performance program before the opening of the 9th Academy Awards, and then the king Zhang Guorong, Danny Chen Baiqiang, the little singer Jacky Cheung, and the rising star Liu Dehua appeared on the stage successively, presenting beautiful songs to the audience who were waiting for the opening of the movie in front of the TV and the audience.

Among them, Zhang Guorong, the king of the music world, took Wang Yuexian's hand, and this beautiful woman who had an affair with a wealthy man not long ago, walked on stage together and sang the famous song "A Chinese Ghost Story" that was popular all over Hong Kong.

Li Jiaxin was chatting with Xu Ruoxuan, and Lin Xiaozhi only glanced at it a few times before turning his head and chatting with Ye Weixin, who was sitting with sweat on his forehead.

"Ashin, don't be so nervous"

This year, he was nominated for Best Director with his first independently directed film "Friends", young as Ye Weixin is obviously not as good as Lin Xiaozhi's mentality, he takes the Academy Awards very seriously, although he knows that the best director is likely to have no chance with him, he still can't help but be excited, just thinking about what if.

Ye Weixin smiled bitterly and nodded, "I'm a little nervous, although I also know that I don't have a chance today, there are Lin Shengyou, the best director, Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, and the award-winning favorites Zhang Zhiliang and Zhang Wanting, among the six, I have the lowest chance of winning the award......"

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and didn't speak, in fact, it wasn't just Ye Weixin, and his chances of winning the award were not necessarily much higher. Compared with his real fame in the film industry, he can't compare to Wu Yusen and Du Qifeng's heritage, and he can't compare to the dark horse He can't compare to Zhang Zhiliang, the director of "Flying Twilight", the best director not only has no chance with Ye Weixin, but it is also difficult to fall into his hands without accidents.

During the chatting between the two, Liu Dehua, who has not yet won the title of the king, took the stage with a song 'The days that have been walked together, completely ignited the flame of enthusiasm for this year's Academy Awards, the king sings hoarsely with a bit of vicissitudes and maturity, no wonder some rich children are so fond of him, his singing voice just fell, and the voices of several young girls sounded in the venue, "Andy, I love you"

The bold show of love is either the child of someone in the circle, or the child of a rich man who was invited.

Looking at Liu Dehua, who was fanatically sought after on the stage, Lin Xiaozhi sighed slightly in his heart. Not everyone can be a three-dimensional star, and being comprehensive also means that he is not good at anything, it is obvious that Liu Dehua is this kind, his singing is not the best, his acting skills are also average, and advertising endorsements can't compete with small screen superstars. In terms of appearance conditions, Liu Dehua is undoubtedly perfect, if he can calm down and seriously polish his acting skills, he may be able to become a real powerful actor in the future......

This thought floated in his mind for a while, and it wasn't until Liu Dehua's back disappeared on the stage that he smiled dumbly. Liu Dehua can become an evergreen tree in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but it is not because he can sing and act that he has reached that height. The master himself was not worried, but he followed suit.

After a series of wonderful performances, the time is already infinitely approaching eight o'clock. Seeing that the time was approaching, the hosts Chen Xinjian and Cen Jianxun appeared on stage together.

Chen Xinjian, who presided over this year's Academy Awards, is the president of the Hong Kong Directors Guild, he can not only direct, act, sing but also write scripts, his talent is very remarkable, and he is humorous. Another host, Sam Jianxun, not to mention, one of the founders of Debao Film Company, one of the three giants of the Hong Kong film industry, and now the president of Debao Cinema Line, one of the four major cinema chains, stomped on the big names of the Hong Kong film industry, and the two of them jointly hosted the Academy Awards.

On stage, Chen Xinjian and Cen Jianxun have already started to deliver speeches at the Academy Awards, and this link may be delayed for a few minutes, and after Lin Xiaozhi pricked up his ears and listened to a few words, he lost interest. Just as he was about to whisper to Li Jiaxin, who was sitting on the other side of him, he suddenly heard a whispered chat from the front row.

“…… Mr. Shum accepted the invitation to host the Academy Awards, which was unexpected."

"The old dog has not had a good time lately, so I guess it's a change of mood for another activity. Pan Shengtie is determined to sell Debao, but his asking price is relatively high, and he has not yet found someone to take over."

Lin Xiaozhi followed the prestige, and saw Hong Jinbao and Huang Baiming, who were sitting not far from him, getting together, lowering their voices and chatting, it seemed that he was not the only one who was bored and didn't like to listen to the speech.

Huang Baiming and Hong Jinbao, one of them is the big three of New Art City, and the other is a big brother and veteran filmmaker in the film industry. The news channels of the two are not wider than Lin Xiaozhi, and they may be wider than him. Although Lin Xiaozhi also received the rumor and heard that Pan Disheng was going to sell Debao, he didn't know much about the specifics, not as good as Hong Jinbao

Come to think of it, Hong Jinbao was originally one of the founders of Debao, and I am afraid that the current situation of Debao could not be clearer.

When he and Shum Jianxun jointly founded Debao Film Company, if it weren't for the original famous brand Wang Pan Di's promotion of shares, which made the Golden Harvest Film Company behind Hung Jinbao jealous, Zou Minhuai personally asked him to choose between Baohe and Debao, implying that if he continued to stay in Debao, Golden Harvest would withdraw from his Baohe Film Company and no longer provide him with support. It is estimated that Hong Jinbao will not sell Debao Company to Pan Disheng, and instead concentrate on running his own two film companies, Baoxiang and Baohe.

Debao Company, although it has been declining more and more in recent years, is still one of the three giants of Hong Kong films. Not only does it have the copyright of dozens of films, several photography teams, dozens of its own contracted screenwriters, artists, and directors, but also has a large cinema chain in Hong Kong, and has some other overseas distribution channels.

Such an excellent resource, for Lin Xiaozhi, who knows how to make huge profits from films, he can't wait to buy it and strengthen his Xinya Film Company.

But......

Lin Xiaozhi quickly sighed, Debao Company has a lot of high-quality assets, and although the price of 400 million Hong Kong dollars is a bit higher, it is not unreasonable. Even if the negotiation can pay back the price, if you want to buy it, you can't even think about it if it doesn't exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

And 300 million Hong Kong dollars, obviously he Lin Xiaozhi does not have it. 、

The applause woke up Lin Xiaozhi, who was thinking about things in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, Chen Xinjian and Cen Jianxun had already finished their speeches, and the Academy Awards officially began to announce the selection results.

The first award was the Best New Actor Award, which is not yet called the Newcomer Award, and the two people with the highest call to win the championship are Luo Ziwei, who debuted in "Flying Twilight", and Jiang Hua, who starred in "I Wish People Long". Jiang Hua is actually not a newcomer anymore, he was discovered by Lin Xiaozhi in RR year, and then debuted with several Fengyue films, but unfortunately he didn't even get a nomination at last year's Academy Awards. It's just that God rewards hard work, he has acted in six TV series and six movies in the past two years, and his acting skills have been honed very well.

In the end, it was Jiang Hua who won the Best New Actor Award, watching Jiang Hua, who was excited, staggering to the podium to receive the award, Lin Xiaozhi, Ye Weixin and other people who knew him all followed vigorously to send him blessings.

The heavyweight jackpots are all in the back, and the ones that come up to announce are some small prizes.

After the Best New Actor award, there are the Best Film Score and Best Film Song awards. These two awards are the strengths of Luo Dayou, the godfather of Taiwanese music, and there are only eight nominations for the two awards, which is evident from the fact that he himself won five of them.

However, the final result was that the best film soundtrack was won by Luo Dayou's "Eight Liang Gold" himself, but the Best Film Song Award passed by him, and was won by Lu Guanting's song "Dragons and Phoenixes" composed by Lu Guanting and sung by Su Rui.

Speaking from the heart, among the best movie songs, Luo Dayou's three works "Boat Song", "Flying Sand Wind Transit", and "Ruan Love Song" are not inferior in quality to 'With love, especially "Boat Song" sung by Qi Yu, at least Lin Xiaozhi feels better than 'With love, it sounds better. But who let Luo Dayou be Taiwanese and not Hong Kong, it is impossible for the Academy Awards jury to let one Taiwanese monopolize two awards. This is an unspoken rule, and the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan is also a virtue

The Best Art Direction Award that came later was easily won by Situ Weiyong with "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks". Lin Xiaozhi noticed that so far there have been two of the eight nominations for "Flying Twilight", but unfortunately they have all been nothing, which is by no means a good phenomenon. Because this film is a film with strong literary and artistic colors, there is no doubt that it scratches the itch of the Academy Awards, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the favorite film of the jury. But so far, "Flying Twilight" has not won a single award, so it can only mean that among the remaining six heavyweight nominations, it is likely that it will be 'beyond everyone's expectations,'.

Either you don't win a prize, or you are the last to the bottom

After a few small awards, followed by the Best Screenplay Award, one of the six highest awards, and with its arrival, the atmosphere in the cultural center changed dramatically, and even Lin Xiaozhi, who didn't care, couldn't help but sit up straight and pay a little attention. Because he himself was nominated for Best Screenplay for the movie "Killer Leon".
