Chapter 476: Upset
This year's Academy Awards is the most absolutely outstanding showdown between literary films and commercial films, the representative of literary films "Rouge Buckle" and "Mong Kok Carmen", one is adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name, a classic work of Hong Kong literary films directed by Kwan Jinpeng, and the other is the first film directed by Wang Jiawei, which is also rave reviews, of which "Rouge Buckle" won seven nominations including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, and "Carmen Mong Kok" also won ten nominations for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.
The representative of commercial films is "Resident Evil", "Legend of the Night", "Mythology" and "Storm and Storm" The three films are box office hits and are loved by fans around the world, and "Resident Evil", which has the least number of nominations among the four films, has also won six nominations including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. The quality of the cast and the quality of the film is the most important thing.
As in previous years, the previous awards were all awards with less gold content, and "Rouge Buckle" won three awards in a row: Best Editing, Best Film Score and Best Film Song; "Mong Kok Carmen" won Best Supporting Actor. and "Tales of the Night" won the best art direction, best action direction, and best cinematography; "Resident Evil" won Best Supporting Actress. So far, literary films and commercial films are basically the same.
Soon it was time to award the Best Actress, and it was also from this time that the atmosphere in the venue gradually reached a high tide, and as Shen Dianxia retreated backstage, Xiao Fangfang, who was nominated for the last year, and Zhou Yanfa, who was nominated for Best Actor last year, walked out of the backstage holding hands.
"Fa Ge. I heard that you just got back from Los Angeles this morning, can you tell us a little bit about Star Wars Prequel? ”
"What's the situation? It can't be said that this involves trade secrets. I can only say that it's quite smooth.,I just fought a few times with a laser sword a few days ago.,To be honest.,You guys in the cinema watch Jedi and Sith knights fight with laser swords and think it's pretty cool.,I thought the same when I watched one or two of them.,But I really didn't find out when I shot it myself.,It's boring.。 ”
"I don't think you're a little full, but you don't know how hungry you are. This is an opportunity that many people dream of, and you dare to say that it is boring?
Xiao Fangfang's slightly exaggerated expression made the audience burst into a chuckle, and Zhou Yunfa also smiled: "You misunderstood what I meant." This is my first time making a sci-fi film, and to be honest, I don't know too much about some of them, and I didn't know how to shoot sci-fi until I joined the crew. Especially sci-fi films like "Star Wars Prequel". Completely different from the shooting method of ordinary films, the images that look cool and dazzling are shot in the studio, and then the special effects are made on the computer. To be honest, I learned a lot from this opportunity, and if I take on sci-fi films in the future, I believe I will be more handy. ”
"The computer is quite mysterious, it can be made out of nothing, okay, let's give the award. I'm afraid everyone is waiting impatiently. ”
"Okay, treat the big screen." After Zhou Yanfa finished speaking, he turned his head to the big screen behind him. The beam of light from the projector shone on the screen, and then some text appeared, and at the same time the commentary sounded: "The finalists for the Best Actress Award at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards are: Zhong Chuhong "Legend of the Night", Anita Mui "Rouge Buckle", Li Zhi "Resident Evil", Gong Li "Biochemistry", Zhang Manyu "Mong Kok Carmen".
Zhou Yunfa opened the envelope and said: "The competition for Best Actress this year can be described as unprecedentedly fierce, it seems that everyone has a chance to win the award, and it seems that everyone has no chance, and the five finalists are all good friends of mine, it seems that it is not good to be biased." ”
took out the card in the envelope and glanced at it: "It's a pity, I'm afraid that many people who want to see the excitement will be disappointed, Sister Fang, it's better for you to announce it." ”
Many people have heard the meaning of Zhou Yanfa's words, to say that the hottest topic of this year's Best Actress is undoubtedly Li Zhi or Gong Li, or Gong Li, of course, there is a possibility, that is, neither of them won the award, and Zhou Yanfa said, 'Those who want to see the excitement will be disappointed', which is obviously what he meant. The live broadcast camera also cooperated and swept past Gong Li and Li Zhi sitting next to Gu Chen.
Qiu Shuzhen whispered in Gu Chen's ear: "Husband, you won't be embarrassed and deliberately let the Academy Awards jury eliminate Sister Lizhi and the two of them." ”
Gu Chen said lightly: "Is your husband and I so bored, I didn't interfere in the entire review process this year." At this moment, Xiao Fangfang on the stage had already taken the card, and after seeing the name on it, she smiled slightly, and then said into the microphone: ""Rouge Buckle" is indeed a movie with a lot of connotation, and it is Anita Mui who won the Best Actress at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards, congratulations." ”
Anita Mui happily hugged Guan Jinpeng and others next to her to celebrate, and then walked quickly onto the stage in warm applause, took the trophy from Xiao Fangfang's hand, and hugged Zhou Yanfa when she hugged Zhou Runfa and said: "This time I won the jackpot, remember to treat you." ”
"Do you have time?" Anita Mui blocked Zhou Yanfa's mouth with a word, the filming of "Star Wars Prequel" has always been very nervous, this time he and Gong Li specially asked for leave to rush back, and they will take a flight back to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning, how can they have time for Anita Mui to have a treat.
"I didn't expect to be nominated for the first time to really win the award, really surprised, mainly because this time a few opponents are not ordinarily strong, but although I won by luck, but the purse is estimated to be flattened a lot, just now as soon as I came up, Brother Fa was urging me to have a treat."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Anita Mui herself couldn't help laughing: "Thank you very much to the Hong Kong Film Society, thank you to the judging committee of the Academy Awards, and thank you to Ms. Li Bihua, director Kwan Jinpeng and everyone in the crew, I wouldn't be standing here without them." ”
The simple words of thanks are sincere, perhaps this is where Anita Mui's personality charm lies, and the audience once again burst into warm applause.
After a song and dance performance, the award continued, and the next award was the Best Actor Award, which was similar to the Best Actress, and the competition for this award was equally fierce, the award presenters were Liang Chaowei, the winner of the last award, and Zheng Yuling, the hostess of last year, just stood in front of the microphone, Zheng Yuling joked: "Wei Zai, look at your red face today, did you encounter any happy events?" ”
"Is it red-faced? It's a pity that there is no mirror, otherwise I would definitely have to take a look. Liang Chaowei, who has always been bad at words, also made a rare joke.
"Didn't you? A few days ago, the newspaper published a photo of someone and a beautiful woman having supper together late at night, and returning to an apartment together. ”
Liang Chaowei touched his nose slightly embarrassed: "I think our task is to present awards, let's talk less about personal matters, let's look at the shortlist." ”
The commentary sounded at the right time: "The finalists for the Best Actor Award at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards are: Lau Dehua "Mong Kok Carmen", Zhang Guorong "Rouge Buckle", Liu Dehua "Resident Evil", Chiba Shinichi "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", Donnie Yen "Myth", Hong Jinbao "Seven Little Blessings". ”
This year, Liu Dehua won two Best Actor nominations for "Mong Kok Carmen" and "Resident Evil", which can be described as the favorite to win the championship, but the competitors are also strong, and it is difficult to say who will die. And judging from the previous awards and previous experiences, the Academy Awards jury rarely follows public opinion, and it may be an exaggeration to say that 'the big hit will die', but 'the big hit may not win the award' is certain.
Li Zhi said softly: "Although Hua Zai has two nominations, I don't think there is much chance of winning the award, and his acting skills are still worse than Rong Shao." As for Rong Shao, if Sister Mei hadn't won the award, he would have a great chance, but it shouldn't be possible now, those people on the jury won't award the actor and actress to the same movie at the same time, and among the remaining three, Chiba Shinichi should have the greatest chance. ”
Qiu Shuzhen nodded and agreed: "I also think so, Chiba Shinichi is really powerful, he has the least number of MGs among all the leading actors, many scenes are one-time, and others are also good, the attitude is very humble, the only bad thing is that he can't speak Chinese." ”
Gu Chen smiled faintly and said: "What you said is right, but it's a pity that you all forget that he is a Japanese, he is the first non-Chinese to be nominated for an individual award at the Academy Awards, and it is already a breakthrough for the Academy Awards jury to nominate him, and it is unlikely to give him the award." ”
"In other words, if a non-Chinese has been nominated for the individual award at the Academy Awards, he will have a much better chance of winning tonight."
On the stage, Liang Chaowei took out the card and looked at it, an expression of surprise flashed on his face, and then handed the card to Zheng Yuling: "Sister Dudu, you can announce it." ”
Zheng Yuling was also very surprised when she saw the name on the card, her eyes searched the audience for a while, and finally fixed on a position on the right side of the third row: "The winner of the Best Actor at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards is Hung Jinbao, congratulations to Hung Jinbao." ”
Popular! Almost everyone was stunned, and few people were optimistic about Hong Jinbao before this, after all, compared with the other five films, Hong Jinbao is really a little unknown with the shortlisted "Seven Little Blessings". Even Hong Jinbao was stunned when he heard the result, and after a while he came back to his senses, and immediately clenched his fists excitedly, although this is the second time he has won the award, but he can fight his way out of the encirclement among many strong opponents and finally win the crown, which still makes him excited, and the meaning of it has even exceeded the award itself in his heart.
