"Okay, now let's have the famous British actor Peter? Otto and famous Hong Kong actress Anita Mui presented us with our first award tonight: Best Screenplay. As the hostess Shen Dianxia's voice fell, an English simultaneous translation sounded in the venue.

Liu Songren and Shen Dianxia pushed down from the right side of the stage, Peter? Otto and Anita walked out from the left side holding hands, just standing in front of the microphone, Peter? Otto said humorously: "I am honored to receive the invitation of the organizing committee to be the guest of honor for the Best Screenplay Award, and I am even more happy that the organizing committee has arranged a beautiful young lady for me, and I think our partners are very suitable." ”

Anita Mui smiled and said in English: "It seems that I also want to thank the organizing committee for arranging such a gentlemanly man for me." ”

Hear that, Peter? Otto smiled heartily: "That's why I said that our partner is very suitable." This drew a chuckle from Anita Mui: "I heard that Mr. Otto came to Hong Kong for the first time, and he went to visit the night market in Hong Kong last night, can you share your experience?" ”

"Of course, Hong Kong's first impression is that it is prosperous, especially Central, which is no worse than London. And Hong Kong people are very welcoming, and there are many delicacies, last night I went to the night market and ate a lot of special snacks, I had hardly eaten this kind of food before, this should be the first time, but it gave me the deepest impression, I found that I have thoroughly liked Hong Kong food. ”

"There is more than one night market in Hong Kong, including Yau Ma Tei Night Market and Temple Street Night Market, and there are many old shops that have been around for decades or hundreds of years. If you're planning to spend a few more days in Hong Kong, I can take you around and make sure you don't even want to go back to the UK. ”

"I don't want to go back to the UK right now. Unfortunately, I will have to leave Hong Kong tomorrow, and there is still a lot of work to do. Okay, without any more of the unpleasant stuff, let's reveal the first prize tonight. ”

Speaking of Peter? Otto opened the envelope in his hand, pulled out a card from it, and saw the video of the video above, and an exaggerated expression appeared on his face: "An expected answer." When I was in England, I read reviews about the film in the newspapers, and it's hard to imagine that there was almost no negative in all the reviews. When the film is released, I think I'll buy a ticket to see it. ”

There was already sporadic applause from the audience, Peter? The meaning of Otto's words could not be more obvious, unless he is a fool, no one does not know which film he is talking about. However, he did not announce it directly. Instead, he handed the card to Anita Mui next to him.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 13th Hong Kong International Film Festival is Gu Chen, "Ghost Love". As Anita Mui's words fell, there was warm applause in the venue, Gu Chen, who was sitting in the first row, stood up with a smile, and Li Zhi, Qiu Shuzhen and Zeng Huaqian, who were sitting on his right, immediately sent fragrant kisses, and this scene was immediately recorded by several live cameras in the venue.

In the past, similar shots also appeared at the Academy Awards ceremony, but at that time, only ATV and TVB were broadcast live, which means that the audience was basically limited to Southeast Asia, and the TV stations that broadcast live tonight were not only ATV and TVB. There are also Taiwan's China Television, Japan's NHK TV and the UK's Sky TV, which cover several times more audiences.

When the guests in the venue saw this scene, they immediately gave more enthusiastic applause. The audience in front of the TV has different ideas, but the male audience is generally envious and jealous of Gu Chen's Yanfu, and some even elevate jealousy to verbal personal attacks.

Gu Chen shook hands with Wei Yixin, who was sitting on his left, and then walked onto the stage with steady steps. Otto shook his hand, and then had a close salute with Anita Mui, and finally from Peter? Otto took a silver-white bauhinia trophy in his hand.

This silver Bauhinia trophy is not much different from the trophy of the Golden Bauhinia Award unveiled at the opening ceremony, except for the color, the most notable point is that the petals of the Golden Bauhinia Award trophy are nine layers, while this trophy only has seven layers. In addition, on the base of the trophy is clearly written: Best Screenplay Award at the 13th Hong Kong International Film Festival. One look at these words can tell the difference between the two.

In Gu Chen's memory, "The Love of Ghosts and Ghosts" won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and it is not surprising that it can win the Best Screenplay Award at the Film Festival. Of course, he did not intervene in the process of judging, but he knew the result for a long time.

Standing in front of the microphone, he smiled and said: "This is the first award awarded by the Hong Kong International Film Festival since its inception, I am really happy to be able to receive it, and I am very honored, thank you to all the members of the jury and all the audience who love "Ghost Love", thank you." ”

As Gu Chen said, this award is the first award awarded by the Hong Kong International Film Festival since its inception in 1977, but why is this first award the Best Screenplay Award? And the winner happens to be Gu Chen, the president of the Film Association, which may not be all coincidences.

It's not that the jury takes special care of Gu Chen, it is very likely that the organizing committee specially ranked the Best Screenplay Award at the top after learning the results of the award, because before that, the organizing committee did not announce the order of other awards except for knowing that the Golden Bauhinia Award was awarded at the end.

Soon after Gu Chen stepped off the stage, a burst of music sounded, and then Liu Dehua, who was wearing a full white suit, walked out of the backstage.

In addition to movies, Hong Kong's music is also world-renowned, so this song and dance performance is naturally music-based, and those who can sing on stage on this occasion today are all Hong Kong singers and queens, and they have a great reputation in the world.

For example, Liu Dehua on the stage at this moment, he just completed his second solo world tour not long ago, not only in Asia, but also in some countries in Europe and the United States, and 'Liu Tianwang' has become his title like the name 'Andy'.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yunfa and the famous Hollywood actress Meryl? Streep walked on the stage, they will present the Best Actress Award, only to hear Zhou Yunfa speak first: "Just now Mr. Otto said that he is very grateful to the organizing committee for arranging a beautiful lady for him as a partner, and I also want to thank the organizing committee for arranging such a beautiful lady for me, our partner must be very suitable." ”

Zhou Runfa's words with Peter? Otto was the same, coupled with his slightly funny expression, the audience immediately burst into laughter, Meryl next to him? Streep also smiled: "Then should I also thank the organizing committee for arranging such a handsome man for me?" ”

Zhou Yunfa shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "It seems that this year's organizing committee has done a very good job, and it has received four thanks so far." ”

In the stage of last week Leap and Meryl? When Streep teased each other, in the third row near the middle, Zhang Meng leaned on Zhou Xingchi's ear and whispered: "The screenwriting award just now was obviously specially arranged by the organizing committee, who do you think is more likely to win this award?" ”

Zhou Xingchi naturally knows who Zhang Mian's 'who' refers to, not only he knows, I'm afraid everyone here knows that judging from the current indications, the winner of the Best Actress Award is most likely to be between Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu, unless there is an upset.

After a deep sigh, Zhou Xingchi said: "I think Honggu is more likely, a film like "People and Ghosts" should be appreciated by the jury, and "New Dragon Gate Inn" has an unavoidable disadvantage, that is, it is a martial arts film, but one-third of the judges on the jury are from Europe and the United States, and their understanding of martial arts films is probably very limited. ”

Zhang Meng nodded, feeling that what Zhou Xingchi said was very reasonable, in fact, the movie "The Gambler", in which she was the heroine and Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua were the leading actors, was also selected for the main competition feature film unit, but she was self-aware, not to mention that "The Gambler" is far from "The Love of People and Ghosts" and "New Dragon Gate Inn" in terms of storyline and production level, even her acting skills cannot be compared with Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu, and there is no possibility of winning awards at all, so he did not have any illusions from the beginning.

"The biggest winner tonight is mostly "Ghost Love", including the final Golden Bauhinia Award, this first Golden Bauhinia Award Film Association definitely doesn't want to award foreign films, I even think that "Ghost Love" was originally specially prepared by Chen Shao for the film festival."

As he spoke, Zhang Mian's gaze passed through the front row and landed on Gu Chen, but he saw Gu Chen leaning against Lizhi on his right, saying something.

At this time, on the stage, Zhou Yanfa opened the envelope, took out the card inside, and then showed a smile on his face: "To paraphrase Mr. Otto's words, the expected answer, I want to congratulate her, and now Ms. Streep will reveal the final result to everyone." ”

When Meryl? When Streep took the card, in the audience, unlike the opening ceremony, Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu, whose seats were separated, clenched their hands almost at the same time, and the speed of their hearts beat faster in an instant, and the whole person tensed. Although the two are good sisters, there are times when there is competition, just like now, but this competition is benign and does not affect the relationship between them.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 13th Hong Kong International Film Festival is Zhong Chuhong of "Ghost Love", congratulations to Miss Zhong Chuhong." (To be continued......)
