Chapter 305: Sixteen nominations

"Mimi, I'm about to go to Xiangjiang, this time I came here, is it a little different from the last time?"

Sitting on the plane, about to approach Xiangjiang, Menjie asked softly at Yang Mi, and his words were also full of anticipation.

The last time I went to Xiangjiang with Yang Mi was when "Kung Fu" was about to be released.

At that time, Menjie only had a work of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and the album only had a "Fairy Tale", and his popularity was not hot, at best, he was at the level of a second-tier movie star, and Yang Mi at that time was just a newcomer.

But now......

With the popularity of "Kung Fu", coupled with Menjie's second solo album "In My Singing", his popularity has reached the peak of first-line stars, and Yang Mi, although her acting skills are still slightly insufficient, can also be compared to some ordinary second-tier movie stars.

Although both of them played supporting roles in "Kung Fu", they achieved unparalleled success and popularity in this film.

And the last time I came to Xiangjiang, it was before the release of "Kung Fu", and the hearts of both of them were full of apprehension, for fear that the movie would not become popular, but now, what they have in their hearts is a completely different feeling!

Because of the popularity of "Kung Fu" and the growing popularity of the two, their hearts are full of great confidence, and the purpose of coming to Xiangjiang this time is not to release a movie, but to this year's 'Xiangjiang Film Awards'!

The Hong Kong Film Awards (HongKongFilmAwards) is one of the most important awards in the film industry of Hong Kong and Greater China, and is known as the three highest achievement awards of Chinese films together with the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.

Even for some movie stars who have become kings and queens themselves, but have not developed much in the world's film industry. These three awards are their lifelong goals in their careers!

The Hong Kong Film Awards was founded in 1982, when the Hong Kong Film Trend was booming, and as of now, the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards will be officially held.

Hong Kong Films. In the early days of the liberation of China, the people in the mainland came into contact with the best series of films, and the frenzy of foreign films had not yet swept China, and the frenzy of Xiangjiang movies had already struck. set off a wave of Hong Kong film fever in China, in the eyes of the Chinese people at that time. Hong kong. It is the birthplace of Chinese films.

As the most representative and authoritative film award ceremony in the entire Xiangjiang film industry, the Xiangjiang Film Awards has always been the 'Oscar' in the eyes of Xiangjiang people, which shows its importance!

The Board of Directors of the Academy Awards is composed of members from 10 Heung Kong Professional Film Associations, including Film Biweekly, Heung Kong Film Industry Association, Heung Kong Film Directors Association, Heung Kong Cinema Chamber of Commerce, Heung Kong Professional Cinematographers Society, Heung Kong Action Stuntmen Guild, Heung Kong Film Writers Association, Heung Kong Performing Artists Association, Heung Kong Film Art Society and Heung Kong Film Editors Association. It has always been an authority in the industry and is very credible.

In addition, the Hong Kong Film Awards Association is the only non-profit-making organization that relies only on the annual royalties of television and radio broadcasts and overseas distribution income to maintain its basic daily expenses. It is not profitable, and naturally it has also put an end to a lot of black-box operations, and its credibility is very high, and it is deeply loved by ordinary people.

But after all, it is the highest glory of the three major film awards in China and Xiangjiang Films, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to be shortlisted for this award!

The basic requirement for the competition is that at least 6 Hong Kong filmmakers in a Chinese film can participate in the competition, in order to meet the qualifications of Hong Kong film elements, these conditions are to protect the threshold set by the development of local films in Hong Kong.

In previous years, there were many outstanding films from the mainland that could not enter the awards ceremony because they could not meet the requirements of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

But fortunately, this time in the crew of "Kung Fu" where Men Jie is located, not only the five leading actors such as Zhou Xingchi, Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua, and Lin Tsaicong are all from Xiangjiang, but also many ordinary people, such as Tian Qihua, Lin Cong and others, are also from Xiangjiang, plus the film is so good at the box office and word of mouth, it is naturally included in the invited guests of the "Xiangjiang Film Awards"!

Even judging from the nominations of this year's '24th Xiangjiang Film Awards', the movie "Kung Fu" can be said to be the biggest winner of this year!

In addition to the film "Kung Fu", there are indeed many good films, but in terms of nominations, they are slightly inferior to "Kung Fu"!

For example, at the beginning, the other two of the three most competitive films in the 'Xiangjiang Film Awards' tied with "Kung Fu" were slightly inferior to "Kung Fu" in terms of nominations.

There is a famous director Wang Jiawei Zhilu Dao, starring famous actors Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Fei, Gong Li, Liu Jialing, Zhang Zhen, Maggie Zhang, and the famous actor Kimura Takuya invited from abroad starring, which lasted five years to shoot, in terms of the lineup, it is enough to call the pinnacle of Chinese film history The movie "2046" has been nominated for 11 very valuable awards at the 24th Xiangjiang Film Awards.

Another movie called "Mong Kok Dark Night", a film shot by Cheung Baizhi, Wu Yanzu and others, may be slightly inferior to the former in terms of lineup and box office, but it has won 12 nominations, and it seems to have the potential to compete for awards.

Then, at this year's Xiangjiang Film Awards, there are many very good movies, such as "New Police Story" starring Fang Chenglong, Wu Yanzu and Nicholas Tse won eight nominations, directed by the famous director Du Qifeng, and the Xiangjiang classic police film "Big Event", which was remade into a Russian film, won four nominations, and then there are two films "Peach" and "Dumplings" that are slightly literary and artistic this year, which also won four and five nominations for the Xiangjiang Film Awards respectively.

In addition to these more popular films, there are many films that have also won one or two nominations, although the chance of winning the final award is very small, but it is also a very meaningful thing to be able to come to the award ceremony of the 'Xiangjiang Film Awards'.

There are so many excellent movies, literary films, blockbusters, and even "2046" and "Mong Kok Dark Night" have been nominated for eleven or twelve items......

Because of Zhou Xingchi's successful movie "Kung Fu", which took several years to shoot, they can only be reduced to a green leaf-like existence, setting off the shine of "Kung Fu"!

The film "Kung Fu" won 16 nominations at the 24th Xiangjiang Film Awards, which can be described as a bumper harvest, and even Menjie himself won two titles!

First of all, as the entire film of "Kung Fu", it has been nominated for the award 'Best Film' with cross-era significance, and this award is an honor for the entire crew no matter what step of the film it is, which is of great significance.

Then Zhou Xingchi, the biggest winner in "Kung Fu", also won three nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor, and was the one with the most nominations and the highest gold content.

Then, Yuan Qiu, the most dazzling heroine in the film, was also nominated for Best Actress, although there is only one, but it has a super high gold content.

Later, Yuan Hua was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which was slightly inferior to Yuan Qiu in terms of gold content.

In addition to these, "Kung Fu" has also won awards from many behind-the-scenes staff, such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Action Design, Best Original Film Music, Best Visual Effects, and other awards.

And Menjie and Yang Mi have also won some titles, and they are just players who come to play soy sauce.

Men Jie himself was nominated for the Best Newcomer Actor Award, and together with Yuan Hua, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, two awards, in terms of gold content and quantity, second only to Zhou Xingchi and Yuan Qiu, and is the third biggest winner of the "Kung Fu" crew!

Although among the Best Supporting Actor, Men Jie doesn't feel that his C-level acting skills can compete with Yuan Qiu and other powerful players, but the Best Newcomer Award......

Menjie feels that this award, he has a great chance of winning, as for other awards, anyway, Menjie is only twenty years old now, and there is a long time to continue to work hard, with the help of the Tianwang system, Menjie believes that he will have many opportunities to win various awards in the future!

However, compared with Menjie's awards, Yang Mi is a little embarrassed.

thought that Yang Mi only won one nomination for the 'Best Newcomer Award' in the 24th Xiangjiang Film Awards.

Originally, if with the popularity of "Kung Fu", coupled with the fact that she acted in her true colors, many people couldn't help but perform amazing performances, Yang Mi still has a great chance of winning this award, after all, there are no very outstanding newcomers among the other award-winning movies.

But it's a pity that among the contenders for this award, there is Menjie, who is also a member of the crew of "Kung Fu", and whether it is acting, popularity or role, he will surpass Yang Mi......

Simply, because of the very close relationship with Menjie, his award was taken away by Menjie, and Yang Mi would not say anything, damaging the relationship between the two. (To be continued.) )
