Chapter 730: The Academy Awards Ceremony (Medium)
Miao Kewei is as her name suggests, she is a very beautiful girl, her mother and Bruce Lee's mother are world friends, and she was also dragged into the showbiz by Bruce Lee.
In the early days, Miao Kewei's performance in Bruce Lee films was good, whether it was "Raptors Across the River" or "Jingwumen", she was really bright as the only heroine.
is also because Bruce Lee takes care of her very much, which makes her scandal with Bruce Lee also noisy. Although Miao Keqi did not admit it in person, people affirmed that their relationship was not ordinary.
After Bruce Lee's death, Miao Kewei was still reused in Golden Harvest, in addition to Miao Kelu's own popularity, there was also the problem that Golden Harvest faced with the Hua Dan famine.
In the early days, Miao Kewei also starred in many martial arts films, such as "The Sword Doesn't Leave People", "Huang Feihong Shaolin Boxing" and so on, which also achieved good box office results. Recently, Miao Kewei has begun to transform into making urban romance films, although she is nearly thirty years old, but because she looks young, she is not awkward at all with the younger generation of actors to play a couple, so she is still a first-line flower of Golden Harvest.
Golden Harvest launched Liu Yong and Miao Kewei to present the award on stage this time, which is actually an advertisement, because Liu Yong and Miao Kewei are now filming "Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law", which is an urban action movie produced by Mak Dangxiong.
"The finalists for the best art direction of the first Hong Kong Film Awards are, Zhang Shuping, "Love in a Fallen City", Xi Zhongwen, "Plan A", Song Hongrong, "Demon Temple Slaying the Dragon", Ji Xinhua, "Metropolis". Liu Yong read aloud, and then handed the list of winners to Miao Kewei beside him.
Miao Kewei waited for a period of passionate music, then opened the card and whispered the name of the winner. "The winner of the Best Art Direction at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards is. Zhang Shuping. "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations to Mr. Zhang. ”
As Miao Kewei shouted out the name of the award-winning Zhang Shuping, the audience also burst into enthusiastic applause, and then a young man from Si Swenwen came to the stage, "Thank you to the jury, thank you to Xu's Pictures, and thank you Uncle Tianlin, who is not worried about my young age and handed over the important responsibility of art direction to me." Thank you, Uncle Tianlin! ”
Xu Guanwu smiled. He hasn't paid much attention to the company since he retired, but he didn't expect Zhang Shuping, Hong Kong's No. 1 art director, to join Hui's, which really made him happy. Cheung Shuping can be called the grandmaster of Hong Kong art direction, and has served many classic films, such as "Mong Kok Carmen", "In the Mood for Love", "Shushan", "East Evil and West Poison" and so on. The director he has worked with the most is Wang Jiawei, and it is Zhang Shuping's art director who has completed the unique tone of Wang Jiawei's films.
After Liu Yong and Miao Kewei presented the award, they retired from the stage with the winners, and then the music sounded, and another singer sang. This time it's not Hui's, but Polygram, another big record company in Hong Kong, and the singer is Lin Zixiang.
Xu Guanwu felt that this arrangement of a star singing every other award was too stupid. I don't know what Wu Siyuan thinks, is this the entertainment effect that the Academy Awards want to achieve? This is not as good as TVB's own annual Taiwan Celebration Awards Ceremony, at least there are humorous skits, dances, and talk shows.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Xu Guanwu whispered to Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia who were sitting beside him, and then quietly got up and walked out of the venue.
Just as he got up and walked out of the venue, a person in the back row stood up and then left the venue.
Xu Guanwu is not really anxious, he just doesn't want to watch those boring performances anymore. Although Lin Zixiang's singing voice is good, the sin is not in him, but in the unreasonable arrangement of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee. Singing after awarding an award every time, and singing after awarding an award is too old-fashioned and old-fashioned.
Even if there is no experience in the first award ceremony, but there are the American Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Asian Film Festival Awards, etc., there is no reason why it will be so boring, I don't know what this group of people are thinking.
Xu Guanwu really wants to make the Academy Awards ceremony a carnival party for Hong Kong filmmakers, and also a star-chasing party for Hong Kong citizens, but now his authority among filmmakers is estimated to have been established. But for Hong Kong citizens, the award ceremony is inevitably a bit boring.
"I should have done it with someone else." Xu Guanwu couldn't help muttering.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, a voice behind him suddenly sounded.
Xu Guanwu was taken aback, turned his head, and saw Zheng Wenya standing in front of him.
When he saw her at first sight, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, after he had two pleasures with others last year, he didn't meet again, and he didn't contact again, he was completely a face that didn't admit it. I don't know if she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt this time? For this woman, Xu Guanwu is still quite guilty. After all, she didn't accept her own gifts, only a villa that seemed to be lived in yet.
And the relationship between them is not like that between him and Guan Zhilin, who is not so much an affair as a transaction. But with Zheng Wenya, no matter how Xu Guanwu avoids it, there is always a relationship, although this relationship is not as deep as Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun and others, but the relationship is always feelings. Xu Guanwu can't treat Zheng Wenya in the same way as Guan Zhilin.
"How are you now?" Xu Guanwu hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile.
When Zheng Wenya heard his question, tears remained, which made Xu Guanwu nervous, what he was most afraid of was that the girl would cry. If you punch him a few times and kick him a few times, the pain will pass, but when he sees a girl crying, his heart hurts, which is not so easy to heal.
"Don't cry, don't cry, let's find a place to sit." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, the place they occupied was the corridor outside the stage, for the audience to enter and exit the venue, and there might be people coming all the time. If someone sees him and Zheng Wenya standing here, and Zheng Wenya is crying, then don't everyone have to misunderstand?
Zheng Wenya nodded, looked around with Xu Guanwu on the Li stage, and finally entered a utility room with an unlocked door. He took out a handkerchief and spread it on a stool, "You sit down first, we can talk about anything." ”
Zheng Wenya sat silently on the stool. just looked at Xu Guanwu but didn't speak. A pair of big eyes stared at Xu Guanwu. It really made him feel empty.
"Say whatever you want. Don't look at me like that, okay? Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
To be honest, after Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia made a fuss, Xu Guanwu really doesn't want to hook up with other women anymore, it's not that he doesn't dare, but he just thinks it's too troublesome. If you want to exchange your wife for a moment's pleasure, the price is inevitably higher. If Zheng Wenya just wants money, then it's easy to do, if she wants an identity and status, then Xu Guanwu is really a little embarrassed.
……
Zheng Wenya looked at Xu Guanwu affectionately. To tell the truth, the first time they had a relationship, it did happen by some serendipity, when the two of them inhaled an excessive amount of musk, which had an aphrodisiac effect even stronger than that of the so-called Spanish fly, and had always been the exclusive spice of the ancient court, and was even more valuable than gold.
However, since that mistake, Zheng Wenya has the shadow of Xu Guanwu in her heart. It is said that men are not the only ones who have a virginity complex, in fact, many women also have a virginity complex, and they regard the man who occupies their first place as the destination of their life. is often more infatuated than men.
Although Zheng Wenya is very beautiful, she is also a top student in the school. There are a lot of boys who pursue, but in fact, her mind is very traditional and has a very heavy virgin complex. So she never forgot Xu Guanwu, and she didn't accept the pursuit of other men after that.
To be honest, with Zheng Wenya's current appearance, such a figure, such a temperament, and such a fame, it is not difficult to find a wishful husband, and even many rich sons with good conditions are also pursuing her, and they are not just swingers who just want to have fun.
But in the face of these people's pursuits, Zheng Wenya rejected them all, and was therefore regarded as the "frozen rose" in Vanity Fair, beautiful but prickly, moving and ruthless.
Xu Guanwu raised his hand and looked at his watch, it had been five minutes since he came out, to be honest, if he didn't go back, Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia would be suspicious. And after all, he is also an important guest at the award ceremony, and if he always does not attend, it will attract other criticism.
After thinking about it, Xu Guanwu sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it today, then let's make an appointment another day." I'll have to go back first. ”
Zheng Wenya nodded, watching Xu Guanwu go out in a hurry, tears flowed uncontrollably.
……
Xu Guanwu hurriedly returned to the venue, and saw that Zhou Yunfa and Lin Qingxia were presenting the Best Editing Award on stage, but the Best Costume Design Award just now was missed.
"The Costume Design Award was also won by our "Love in a Fallen City". Zhao Yazhi smiled and told him, "By the way, why have you been there for so long?" ”
"It's nothing, my stomach is a little upset." Xu Guanwu held his stomach and smiled bitterly.
The Best Editing Award was finally won by Colorful Film Company's "Deus Exodus Sai Ying Pun", and the winner was Mai Zishan. Mai Zishan is famous as the first scissor in Hong Kong, but he has only been in the industry for a few years and has not yet gained such a good reputation. Xu Guanwu has an impression of him because almost all of Xu Ke's movies are edited by him, such as the "Huang Feihong" series, the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, etc., Mai Zishan's sharp and smooth editing is perfectly matched with Xu Ke's sharp and changeable shooting techniques.
If there is no Mai Zishan, then Niu X's editing, I am afraid that the excitement of Xu Ke's movie will drop by at least two percent. And the blockbuster of Xu Ke's movie also made Mai Zishan famous, and won the reputation of the first cut in Hong Kong.
After Mai Zishan delivered his acceptance speech, after retiring with Zhou Yanfa and Lin Qingxia, the music sounded and the singer came out to sing, but it was Guan Zhengjie of EMI Records. This Academy Awards ceremony is not only a competition for film companies, but also a place for major record companies to show their strength.
Among them, although the strength of EMI and Polygram is not as good as Xu's Yisheng, they still have very good singers, such as Guan Zhengjie, Lin Zixiang, Ye Zhentang, Zhang Delan, etc., and they also have a lot of fans and fans.
After Guan Zhengjie's singing, it was soon the turn of the best photography link, and the people who were responsible for presenting the awards were the veteran Shaw Brothers movie star Di Long and the veteran actress Hu Jin. Although Di Long's popularity has declined in the past two years, his popularity has not decreased, and he also cheered thunderily after taking the stage. Although Hu Jin has made a lot of Fengyue films with director Li Hanxiang before, he is a naked substitute for all of them, and the real person is not like in the movie, but on the contrary, he is a very male actor.
In the 90s, director Li Hanxiang, after losing money because of filming movies such as "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", it was Hu Jin who still went out of the mountain to help him shoot third-level films such as "Half Demon Milk Girl", so that director Li Hanxiang could make money to pay off his debts, and this righteousness is really rare in the entertainment industry with red and white. On the contrary, after the actor became famous, he turned his face ruthlessly, jumped ship and left, fell into the well, and there are countless examples of revenge.
The fat cat Zheng Zeshi once said that in the 90s, because of the collapse of the film company, he took on all the debts together with righteousness, and as a result, he wanted to invite an actor who was popular with him before to film, and he couldn't make a discount as appropriate, which made Zheng Zeshi feel cold and no longer have too much contact with people in the circle.
