The nominees for Best Actress at the 12th Academy Awards are Maggie Cheung's "Ruan Lingyu", Qiu Shuzhen's "Red Fruit Lamb", Lin Qingxia's "Smiling Proud Jianghu II: Undefeated in the East", Lin Qingxia's "Peerless Double Pride", Maggie Cheung's "New Dragon Gate Inn" and Mei Yanfang's "Judge of the Dead".

Qiu Shuzhen will not talk about it, as a newcomer who has just debuted, although her appearance conditions are excellent, the Golden Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor in the Chinese-speaking world, is not given by looking at her face, otherwise there are many Hong Kong female artists who are more beautiful than her. And her award-winning work "Red Fruit Lamb" is still a movie with a strong wind and moon color. Wang Fatzi obviously never thought that it could win the award before, and this alone doomed Qiu Shuzhen to win the first actress gold cup in her life with it, and her hope is very slim.

Mei Yanfang, regardless of strength and status, is not under this year's favorites Maggie Cheung and Lin Qingxia, to say that her acting skills may be slightly lacking, but the difference is not big, but she was involved in the sensational Hong Kong and Taiwan 'Huang Langwei incident' last year, and her reputation was seriously damaged, and until now, there are still a considerable number of tabloids that can see her and Huang Langwei's grievances and revenge and gossip stories from time to time. Unfortunately, although the Hong Kong Film Awards are not as fond of saints as a certain award in the mainland in later generations, if the quality of the nominee is lacking, it is difficult for many judges to vote for her in the end.

And just look at the nominations, Maggie Cheung and Lin Qingxia, who have each been nominated for two films, will be the most powerful contenders for this year's Academy Awards Actress Gold Cup.

Zhou Huimin also remembered that he was one of the hundreds of behind-the-scenes judges of this year's Academy Awards, so she turned her head to his ear and asked, "Husband, who do you say can get this gold cup?" ”

"I don't know!" Lin Xiaozhi replied very simply.

Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin are both Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses he admires the most, the former has become internationally famous at a young age, and the latter has been making film appointments since his debut, and his acting skills have been honed for more than ten years. Although he knew that the current year's actress gold cup in the original history was won by Maggie Cheung, but with the previous scene of Liu Qingyun accidentally winning the championship, Lin Xiaozhi was not sure.

So after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said: "I voted for Lin Qingxia, but according to the current situation, Maggie Cheung's chances of winning the championship are higher." ”

It is not for nothing that he explained this, Lin Qingxia won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress two years ago, and she is the Golden Horse actress. Don't look at the fact that the Academy Awards appeared later than the Golden Horse, but the scene that came to the top, coupled with some dirty disputes between the two awards in the early years about who was more professional, made it difficult for the promising actors of the Golden Horse Awards to win at the Academy Awards.

And although Maggie Cheung is younger than Lin Qingxia, her semi-documentary film "Ruan Lingyu" was shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival last year, and she also won the award of Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival for this film.

As one of the three most famous film festivals in Europe, the Berlin International Film Festival has a wide range of influence in the world, and Maggie Cheung's trophy is naturally not low, which will also affect some Academy Award judges. Even if there is no longer a scene in history where she is almost unanimously nominated for Best Actress at the 12th Academy Awards, I believe that the vast majority of judges will prefer her who has just become internationally famous.

When several people whispered to each other, the nominations for the award had already begun to be broadcast on several large screens behind the rostrum, and there would be applause every time they appeared.

"Next, I will announce that the winner of the Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards is ......" John Woo lowered his head and tore open the envelope and slowly took out the award-winning paper, and after taking a look, he read aloud with a smile on his face: "Maggie Cheung, "Ruan Lingyu"! ”

The venue immediately burst into thunderous applause, and Lin Xiaozhi did not move and applauded.

He does not deny that Maggie Cheung's performance in "Ruan Lingyu" is very outstanding, and it can be said that she has played the actress of the Republic of China, so she deserves to win the Golden Cup of the actress. It's just that Lin Xiaozhi's current identity is destined to make it impossible for him to have too much affection for art films, because most of these movies have a good reputation but are not popular, and they can win awards but can't make money.

Not to mention that Maggie Cheung, who had already experienced the Berlin Film Festival last year, took the stage with a relaxed face and calmly delivered her acceptance speech.

The promulgation of the Golden Cup of the actress is naturally another climax.

The subsequent small awards were also uneventful, and it was not surprising that Dillon's 'Best Supporting Actor' battle was lost to Liao Qizhi's "Caged People". Although Mr. X, the super killer in "League of Assassins", is the first time in several years that he has left an impressive role on the screen, it is a pity that most of the judges of the Academy Awards obviously prefer the art film that reflects the livelihood of Hong Kong people - "Caged People", so that the TVB old green leaf, which has been developing on the small screen, Liao Qizhi, won this year's "Best Supporting Actor".

In comparison, the decision of 'Best Supporting Actress' is a bit controversial.

A total of four people were nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" this year, namely Feng Baobao's "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", Mao Shunyun's "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", Huang Yunshi's "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", Mao Shunyun's "I Love Twisted Chai", and Ye Dexian's "Truant Weilong 2".

Judging from the nominations, you can know that Mao Shunjun, who changed from a goddess to a comedian, is the most favored by the judges. In addition to her, whether it is Huang Yunshi or Ye Dexian, her acting skills are not bad. But the judges finally gave this gold cup to Feng Baobao, an old flower who has become increasingly popular in recent years, and he was somewhat mindful of human kindness.

A movie "Ruan Lingyu" not only made Maggie Cheung win the best actor and let Xiao Worm get the best film score, but also helped Pan Hengsheng get the best cinematography and Park Ruomu get the best art direction, and it is also the most favorable contender for the 'best literary film' at this year's Academy Awards, which can be called the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards.

With the transition of several small awards, this year's Academy Awards have finally entered the climax.

Lin Xiaozhi has been paying attention to the stage, and when he saw Fa Ge and Carina Lau appearing on the rostrum together, he knew that he was about to announce the 'Best Commercial Film' Gold Cup at this year's Academy Awards.

Chow Yun-fat is also a veteran actor at the Academy Awards, 'Double Monday' is known as the Hong Kong box office guarantee, but among Jackie Chan, Chow Xingchi, and Chow Yun-fat, Fa Ge is the least pompous, even if he is just a trick in the crew, he will get a lot of guidance from the crew to ask him for acting skills, so he is very popular in the circle and is one of the big-name superstars with the best reputation.

After winning the Academy Award Best Actor Gold Cup for the third time with "Ah Lang's Story" a few years ago, in order to give others more opportunities, Chow Yun-fat has personally stated through the media that he will no longer participate in the Best Actor selection at the Academy Awards. It was his high style and brightness that made the Academy Awards hire him as an award guest many times. This year is no exception, partnering with Carina Lau, who just won the Golden Cup for Actresses at the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival in France two years ago, to co-host the "Best Commercial Film" and "Best Literary Film" two high-value awards.

Fa Ge has an excellent reputation in the circle, so as soon as he took the stage, he received a round of applause, and there was even a coaxing voice for him to sing a song to cheer up, but he refused with a smile on the pretext of a male duck, "...... The guests present were very enthusiastic, and they had to sing a song with my duck voice. Jialing, you know, it's just a matter of going to karaoke in private, at most a few people will be hospitalized. But today, in such a high-profile environment, let me commit a crime, I guess before the song is finished, ATV's complaint phone will be blown up! ”

Of course, it was just a joke, but no one took it seriously.

Chow Yun-fat's vocal cords and singing skills are indeed inferior to many amphibious artists in the industry, but counting the few records he has released in the past, although the sales are not a big hit, it is not bad, if it weren't for Fa Ge's lack of multi-habitat development in the past few years, even if he can't squeeze into the list of Hong Kong's top male singers with his popularity, it is definitely not difficult to be on the front line. Not to mention anything else, with his good reputation in the industry, shouting an invitation to sing, many composers and lyricists in Hong Kong and Taiwan will give face.

Carina Lau covered her mouth and chuckled, this is a woman worthy of admiration, she experienced such a thing the year before last, although not many people outside the circle know about it, but after all, it is still making a lot of noise in the small circle, and it is not easy to get out of the shadows so quickly.

She chuckled and followed Fa Ge's words and said: "Then for the sake of the safety of all the guests present and the audience and friends in front of the TV, I really can't let Fa Ge sing a song!" ”

Fa Ge shrugged his shoulders, "That's really a pity, in fact, on today's festive day, my singing spirit is still very strong." But I can only hold back, go back and wait for the award ceremony to end, and then find Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Zhiwei and a few other warriors who are not afraid of death, and accompany me to sing to the fullest! ”

There was laughter in the venue, and among the people who encouraged Fa Ge to sing a song just now, his friend Zeng Zhiwei shouted the loudest, and even a camera naughtily turned in his direction and exposed him.

After the two chatted and teased a few words, Cen Jianxun and Shen Dianxia, who served as the master of ceremonies, tacitly turned the topic to the topic.

I only heard Cen Jianxun say with emotion on his face in the microphone: "...... Feifei, in the past few years, you have also moved from the small screen to the big screen, but your popularity is not enough (there was laughter in the venue), and you entered the industry relatively late (another laughter), obviously I don't know that there is such a saying in the industry. So Fa Tsai and Jialing, have you two heard such a saying in the past two years, saying that our Hong Kong films have gone through the golden age and are about to die? ”

Fa Ge nodded, but did not answer, and gave up the limelight to Carina Lau. Carina Lau smiled gratefully, nodded and took over the topic and replied, "Indeed, there was such a saying in the first two years!" ”

Although she is the first sister of wireless, she has only just moved from the small screen to the film industry in recent years. Although she won a gold cup for the actress of the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival in France, she can only barely be regarded as a first-line actress in the industry, and she has not yet squeezed into the top circle.

Shum Jianxun continued: "In the past few years, Hong Kong movies have been really messy, plagiarism has become commonplace, shoddy production, and there are some well-known people in the industry who have emigrated overseas caused by the loss of talent, so it is no wonder that some pessimists are so pessimistic about Hong Kong films!" ”

He paused, and then his voice was a little higher: "However, the sooner the shortcomings are exposed, the more conducive it will be to the development of our Hong Kong films, as long as the deficiencies are solved carefully, the entire industry will develop more healthily." Last year, when most people thought the golden age was coming to an end, a total of 514 films were shot in Hong Kong, and a total of 282 films landed in theaters to meet audiences, creating 57. The global box office of 2.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, two-thirds of which comes from foreign markets outside Hong Kong, makes the name of 'Hong Kong film' and 'Oriental Hollywood' more and more influential around the world! ”

"Yes, last year, Hong Kong gave birth to dozens of wonderful films such as "League of Assassins", "Wong Fei Hung 2", "Truant Dragon 2", "Police Story 3", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Yuen Lingyu" and so on, some of which swept the world and created an astonishing box office of about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and some of them swept Berlin and won numerous praises at the world's most famous international film festival!" Shen Dianxia took over and said.

With the sensational commentary of the two emcees, there was a round of applause in the venue.

The two glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Let's usher in the moment of the award of the 'Best Commercial Film' award at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards in warm applause!" ”

The two emcees gave up half of their bodies and gave up the temporary presiding position to the award-presenters who were qualified for this award - Chow Yun-fat and Carina Lau.

Miss Manners slowly walked over from the backstage with a tray in the eyes of countless attention, and Chow Yun-fat said: "Before officially revealing the mystery, let's review what works have been nominated for the 'Best Commercial Film' award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards?" ”

Carina Lau had already cooked them behind her back, and after taking over the topic, she reported the name of the work: "A total of five works were nominated for the 'Best Commercial Film' award at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, namely "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" filmed by Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Group, "92 Black Rose to Black Rose" produced by Hong Kong Yingtao Film Production Co., Ltd., "Wong Fei Hung 2: Men Should Be Self-reliant" (copyright belongs to Media Asia) filmed by Hong Kong Media Asia Film Group, and "" Police Story 3: Super Cop and League of Assassins, filmed by Hong Kong Media Asia Pictures Group! ”

"The 'Best Commercial Film' award is a new award refined from the original 'Best Film' award at the Hong Kong Film Awards last year to encourage and promote the development of commercial films in Hong Kong. However, although this is the first time that this award has been awarded, I estimate that it will not be easy for the judges of many Academy Awards to choose the best one among these excellent works! Chow Yun-fat smiled and sighed.

Carina Lau chuckled and nodded: "It's really a problem, "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" is adapted from the folk stories of the Liangguang region, whether it is creativity or the play of the actors, as well as the final box office and audience reputation, it proves that this is an excellent commercial film." "92 Black Rose to Black Rose" pays tribute to old movies at the same time, but also cleverly re-innovates, the small length and story are interspersed with a series of unbearable mistakes on the basis of a main line, and many actors have good acting breakthroughs in this movie, which is the most successful small-budget dark horse last year. "Once Upon a Time 2" is innovative on the basis of the previous one, and under the careful grasp of the talented director Tsui Hark, not only does the story content surpass the old movies of the past, but also points out a feasible route for the remake of the series of movies, which is really rare! ”

"Yes, in addition to the above three works, "Police Story 3" and "League of Assassins" were the two best-selling films of our Hong Kong films overseas last year, the former set off a wave of police craze in Southeast Asia, I heard that in Singapore, the government even intends to ask director Tang Jili to cooperate with Jackie Chan again to shoot a promotional film for the Singapore police. And the latter "League of Assassins" has created many Hong Kong films in Europe and the United States, and they are all extremely successful commercial films! ”

After the two finished their short introductions, they glanced at each other and saw the irrepressible excitement on each other's faces.

Fa Ge was more able to hold the scene, and after giving her a look, he took the initiative to say loudly in his magnetic voice: "I think all the guests present and the audience in front of the TV may be the same as me now, ladies first, below, let us with warm applause, please Miss Carina Lau read out to us the list of winners of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards 'Best Commercial Film'!" ”

Carina Lau didn't know that Fa Ge was carrying her, smiled gratefully, picked up the envelope from the tray held by Miss Manners in the fierce applause in the venue, first raised it high, and then tore open the seal, picked up the award paper inside, and then put the envelope back on the tray, and then slowly opened the paper along the crease.

Although Chow Yun-fat gave the opportunity to read the award to Carina Lau in a gentlemanly manner, he also cared very much about which film would win the 'Best Commercial Film' Gold Cup at this year's Academy Awards, so he leaned down slightly, turned his face sideways and glanced at the paper, and his eyes were suddenly full of irrepressible excitement.

And looking at Carina Lau again, I saw that when she saw the award-winning works on the paper, her eyes widened for a moment, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover her wide mouth, and even her voice was too excited to say in a loud voice: "I announce that the work that won the 'Best Commercial Film' award at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards is "League of Assassins" from Hong Kong Media Asia Film Group!" ”

In the venue, after a moment of silence, there was a sudden burst of loud applause! Shadow' Jinbei, he leaned slightly, turned his face sideways and glanced at the paper, his eyes were suddenly full of irrepressible excitement.

And looking at Carina Lau again, I saw that when she saw the award-winning works on the paper, her eyes widened for a moment, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover her wide mouth, and even her voice was too excited to say in a loud voice: "I announce that the work that won the 'Best Commercial Film' award at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards is "League of Assassins" from Hong Kong Media Asia Film Group!" ”
