Chapter 733: The Big Winner

"Thank you Uncle Tianlin, thank you screenwriter Wang Jing, thank you Mr. Zhou Yunfa who played against me, thank you to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes, I would not have been able to receive this award without your help." Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "I was very angry when so many people criticized me for not having acting skills, but now that I have won this award, I don't have to be surprised if you say anything." ”

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she proudly held the trophy and stepped off the stage, Xu Guanwu smiled, "Now the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards is awarded, and the finalists are, Xu Guanwen, "The Rich and Noble", Zhou Runfa, "Love in a Fallen City", Wu Yaohan, "Long Jiawei", Hong Jingbao, "Full of Gold and Jade". ”

For the Best Actor Award, three of the four candidates are Xu's, which is enough to see that Xu's strength should not be underestimated. After Xu Guanwu finished reading, there was another commotion in the audience, probably surprised that Xu could be shortlisted for so many people.

Then Zhong Chuhong opened the winner's card, and then announced in surprise, "The winner of the Best Actor at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards is Xu Guanwen, "The Rich and Rich." Congratulations to Mr. Koh Kwan Man! ”

After Zhong Chuhong announced the end, the audience immediately burst into applause. Xu Guanwu noticed Zhou Yanfa, who was shortlisted at the same time, and Hong Jingbao had a look of loss on his face. It's no wonder that they, a newcomer, a martial artist, are in desperate need of awards. In comparison, Xu Guanwen's reputation as the king of comedy and the cold-faced laughing maker is actually much louder than the so-called Best Actor at the Academy Awards.

Xu Guanwen then walked up to the stage to accept the award and hugged Xu Guanwu affectionately. "Congratulations, big brother." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Xu Guanwen patted the second brother's shoulder excitedly. Then hold the award in your hand. "I'm very happy to receive this award. It's really surprising to say it from the bottom of my heart, because these actors who were shortlisted in the same period are all good, Fa Zai, Sanmao, Ah Han, they are all actors with very good acting skills. The fact that I can win this award doesn't mean that I am much higher than their acting skills, it's just that the three of them see me as old. It's just respect for the elderly. After winning this award, I feel more pressure on my body, and I will definitely make funnier movies for everyone in the future. Thank you. ”

Xu Guanwen's words made the audience applaud and applaud for his demeanor, and Xu Guanwu couldn't help but applaud for his eldest brother. Then Xu Guanwu and Zhong Chuhong accompanied their eldest brother Xu Guanwen to step down, and the music sounded, but it was Ye Zhentang who sang the song.

After a song is sung, it will be the best director, and this award is presented by Ms. Fang Yihua and director Chu Yuan. Director Chu Yuan was also a director of Shaw Brothers before. Later, he was invited by Xu Guanwu to Xu's development, and became popular again with the adaptation and filming of Gulong martial arts novels. With the gradual decline of fantasy martial arts films in the past two years. But Chu Yuan was not depressed, but made a literary romance film again.

This is his old profession, and it is also his favorite movie genre, although the box office is not as popular as the previous fantasy martial arts films, but the word of mouth is much stronger. Director Chu Yuan also rejuvenated the third spring in his artistic life.

Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan are also old acquaintances, and Chu Yuan often had dinner with Mr. Shao Yifu before and discussed the script together. Many times, Fang Yihua was also present and was responsible for calculating the cost of the film. It was often Chu Yuan who proposed a script, and Fang Yihua rejected a script on the grounds that the capital investment was too high, which once made Chu Yuan's spirit almost collapse.

Therefore, now that he is awarding the Best Director Award to Fang Yihua, Chu Yuan's mood is not very good, but he has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and the general scene is still passable. Chu originally read the list of finalists, and the shortlisted ones were, Wang Tianlin, "Love in a Fallen City", Hong Jingbao, "Full of Gold and Jade", Tang Jiming, "Kill the West Camp", and Xu Ke's "Hell No Door".

Fang Yihua got the list of winners, but his expression was not very good. Because among the four people shortlisted for Best Director, two are from Hui's, one is from Golden Harvest, and the other is from Century Film Company. Shaw Brothers has so many directors, but none of them have been shortlisted. Now let's see if it's an honor or a shame to let her present the Best Director Award.

Fang Yihua opened the card with some trembling, then fixed, took a deep breath, and then read, "The winner of the Best Director Award at the first Hong Kong Film Awards is Wang Tianlin, "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations to Mr. Wang Tianlin. ”

Once the list of winners was announced, it was not Wang Tianlin who jumped up first, but his son Wang Jing, who jumped up like a monkey, and then hugged his father excitedly.

Wang Tianlin is very calm about his award, he has been tossing in the film industry for half his life, and he has not seen any ups and downs. The Academy Award for Best Director may be desirable to others, but for him it is just a meaningful piece of room decoration.

Wang Tianlin walked onto the stage with a slight tremble, and shook hands with Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan one by one. Fang Yihua's expression was not very natural, because Wang Tianlin had planned to go to Shaw Brothers after the collapse of Dianmao, but Shaw Brothers did not take him in. Because at that time, Shaw Brothers felt that his talent reserve was enough, and there were not many Wang Tianlin, and there were not many less of him.

Who knew that this veteran director, who was not favored at the beginning, had a second spring after coming to Xu's, and the filming of "Love in a Fallen City" was applauded and popular, which made Fang Yihua feel a little jealous. remembered that it was she who suggested that Wang Tianlin be turned away that day, and Fang Yihua's blood pressure was a little high.

"Thank you a lot for the love of the judges, I have been working hard in the film industry for half my life, and now I think it's worth it to get this award." Wang Tianlin said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xu Guanwu, for choosing me as the director of this movie when everyone is not optimistic." Thank you! ”

Director Wang Tianlin delivered his acceptance speech and stepped down with Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan.

"Brother Tianlin, I really envy you for winning such an award." Chu Yuan said with a smile as he walked.

Wang Tianlin smiled, "Don't be envious, I think you will get it too, now the times are different." In the past, we old guys should have been retired at this stage, but now we are starting to rejuvenate a second spring, how can we not work harder? ”

"Dude, you're right." Chu Yuan said with a smile.

Fang Yihua, who was on the side, heard the intimate conversation between the two, but he was very unhappy in his heart, because these two people said in general. It's all old guys who were turned away by Shaw Brothers. Chu Yuan used to make literary films. It didn't sell well for a long time. In the end, I could only arrange to sit on a cold bench. Unexpectedly, he went to Xu's to shoot Gu Long's martial arts novels, but his literary temperament complemented Gu Long, and the fantasy martial arts films he filmed were blockbusters.

Although Wang Tianlin is a big director in Dianmao, his later works are not very popular, and he was steadily suppressed by Shaw Brothers. In addition, the Shaw Brothers boast that there are big directors such as Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, and Li Hanxiang, and it is not uncommon for Wang Tianlin to be in charge. So they turned him away. Unexpectedly, Wang Tianlin is old and strong, and a "Love in a Fallen City" won tens of millions of box office, setting the highest box office record in Hong Kong history, which made Shaw Brothers' envious eyes red.

After returning to the backstage, Fang Yihua was reluctant to walk with the two of them again, for fear of a small cardiovascular breakdown, she didn't even leave a word, and immediately left alone.

Wang Tianlin and Chu Yuan saw her hurried back, but they couldn't help but smile at each other, once upon a time they were both regarded as outcasts by the Shaw Brothers. But I didn't expect that there would be a day when the salted fish would turn over.

After the Best Director Award, the Best Film Award will be awarded. The award was presented by Wu Siyuan, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards, and Ye Zhiming, Chairman of the Heung Kong Film Club.

The best films shortlisted are "Full of Gold", "Love in a Fallen City", "Love for You" and "Metropolis".

Xu Guanwu is still looking forward to the last best film, of course, now that he has won so many awards, in fact, he is already very satisfied.

"The winner of the Best Film Award was "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations! Wu Siyuan announced loudly.

Xu Guanwu then stood up with a smile, hugged Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi beside him, and shook hands with several people nearby.

Then in the congratulations of everyone, he came to the stage, shook hands with Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming one by one, and took the trophy. "Thank you to the judges for their love, thank you to all the staff of Hui's Group, thank you to all those who love Hong Kong films, I will continue to work hard to make more good-looking movies for everyone." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu then returned to the backstage with Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming, and at this moment, the music sounded, but it was Xu Xiaofeng who led everyone to sing "Applause". For today's artists who are award-winning or not-awarded, shortlisted or not, this is a very meaningful song, so it is also very emotional to sing, and soon the stage and the stage are connected, and the situation is quite touching.

Backstage, Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming both said congratulations to Xu Guanwu, congratulations, "Mr. Xu, it's amazing, there are only more than ten awards in total, and you Xu have won so many." If you hadn't made an appointment in advance to give 20% to a small film company, I'm afraid you would have to wrap it up. ”

"Don't say that, it's just a fluke, a fluke." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I also want to congratulate you on the complete success of this Academy Awards." ”

"Well, it's not too satisfying, Zeng Qi's abandonment of the award is unexpected." Wu Siyuan said, "Mr. Xu, we have to take this matter seriously, and I propose that all film companies in Hong Kong ban him together." He won the award after the selection of the judges, and the results were unanimously recognized by everyone. He said that if he didn't take it, he wouldn't take it, and he said so many strange things on stage. If someone misunderstands that our Academy Awards are boring, this is really an insult and irresponsibility to our work. ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "I know that Zeng Qian has indeed gone a little too far, but I suggest that you don't take measures too quickly, otherwise you will be misunderstood that it is really boring." I think that's good, let's talk to him later, and then ask him to clarify it in the newspaper, and try to solve this matter. ”

Ye Zhiming smiled, "It's still Mr. Xu's thoughtfulness, Siyuan, don't be in a hurry with Zeng Qi's questions." Although he is only an actor now, his connections in the entertainment industry are not small. If you want to ban him now, you may not be able to ban him. Besides, Zeng Qian is also a signed artist of TVB, and it is said that he is still filming at Xu's. You don't want to ban it, you have to give Mr. Xu face. ”

Wu Siyuan listened to Ye Zhiming's words, and couldn't help patting his head, "Oops, I'm confused, I forgot that there is still this relationship." Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. ”

Cleaning up Zeng Qian is a trivial matter, but offending Xu Guanwu is a major matter. Besides, Xu Guanwu also promised to help him release movies such as "Danger of the First Type" to the United States, and he didn't dare to offend this God of Wealth at this critical moment.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't protect my shortcomings, even if I am a person in our company, as long as he makes a mistake, he will be punished reasonably. Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I just think that although Zeng Qi's behavior is excessive, it may not be able to reach the point of being blocked, and there is still room for turnaround." ”

"Well, in that case, let him make a statement first." Wu Siyuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of this?" ”

"Yes, it's good, it's good." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Thank you two for your understanding, Zeng Qian is a talented person, and his acting skills are first-class, but his temper may be a little arrogant, I will persuade him well." (To be continued......)
