Chapter 729: Academy Awards Ceremony (Part I)

Lin Yanni is a famous female writer in Hong Kong, and Huang Zhan is also known as one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, and the combination of the two is already quite eye-catching, not to mention that when Huang Zhan fell in love with Lin Yanni, it was when his wife Huawa was pregnant with his third child. Therefore, for a period of time, Huang Zhan was scolded by Hong Kong citizens as a cheap man, and his reputation was once infamous.

However, Huang Zhan is worthy of being called Huang Laoxi, he just withstood the pressure, and was cheeky with Lin Yanni**, although the two were not officially married, but they seemed to be husband and wife, and after a long time, Hong Kong citizens began to get used to it.

The Academy Awards invited this pair of enemies to serve as the award ceremony, which is really an eye-catching thing. Xu Guanwu has also heard about Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni, although he doesn't agree with Huang Zhan's approach very much, but seeing that he doesn't seem to be strong, there is naturally no reason to comment on others.

It can be seen that Huang Zhan really cares about Lin Yanni and can give her the best camera position, and then he heard Lin Yanni read, "The best soundtrack shortlisted for the first Hong Kong Film Awards is, Gu Jiahui, "Love in a Fallen City", Chen Xunqi, "Plan A", Zhou Jinchang, "Deus Exodus Xiyingpun", Wang Fuling, "Doomsday Killing". ”

As Lin Yanni read out the list of finalists aloud, the shortlisted film works appeared one after another on the big screen erected in the center of the stage, because of the constraints of hardware facilities, these finalists could not appear on the big screen for the first time, which made the stage effect slightly inferior.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if the technology allows now, the expressions of the finalists can be transmitted to the big screen in real time. Let people see their nervousness. Emotions of anticipation. Then the effect of awarding will undoubtedly be much improved. It's just that to achieve that effect, it is necessary to invest more, and it is not that this award ceremony can afford it.

With the announcement of the shortlist, a rush of gongs and drums sounded. Huang Zhan smiled and handed the card with the list of winners to Lin Yanni. Lin Yanni showed a surprised expression after watching it, "The winner of the Best Score Award at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards is Gu Jiahui, "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations Brother Hui! ”

With the applause of the audience, Gu Jiahui stood up a little excitedly. shook hands and hugged several friends around him, and then stepped onto the stage a little nervously and shyly.

Huang Zhan greeted him with a big smile and hugged his old partner tightly. Seeing them look so brotherly, the audience also gave fierce applause. Men are heroic and tearful, and beauties are in love with the rivers and lakes, which is easy to move people's hearts.

Lin Yanni then smiled and handed the Academy Award trophy to Gu Jiahui, which was based on Zheng Wenya. Seeing this goddess trophy, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think of Zheng Wenya's graceful figure, which was really a perfect work of art.

However, as soon as this idea was generated, it was immediately crushed by Xu Guanwu. It was so easy for him to appease his two wives now, but he didn't dare to mess around anymore. Otherwise, it might lead to a family change.

Gu Jiahui rubbed the trophy and was overjoyed. "Thank you to the judges for your love, thank you to my colleagues, and thank you to my good partner. I won this award today just because I was lucky, it doesn't mean that my work is the best. In fact, the works of many colleagues are equally good. So I hope that I don't want to be proud and try to create better works. ”

"That's great, Brother Hui, I also hope that all my colleagues can encourage each other." Huang Zhan also said with a smile.

After Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni stepped back hand in hand, they heard a burst of familiar music sounded, and then twenty dance artists walked out of the stage quickly, surrounded by dance artists, there was also a beautiful lady, humming along with the music, "The lights are drunk and the eyes are drunk, and the lights and shadows are drunk and sleep with each other......"

It is the host Wang Mingquan just now, and the song she sang is also the theme song of the same name of the movie "Love in a Fallen City". Wang Mingquan can act, sing, dance, and host, and is a comprehensive development talent, who can handle any of them, so it is deserved to be called the treasure of Zhentai.

Wang Mingquan's popularity in Hong Kong is also quite high, and while she sang "Love in a Fallen City", the audience not only took the initiative to beat the beat, but also hummed along. Even Lin Qingxia, the leading actor of "Love in a Fallen City", couldn't help humming quietly when she heard the emotion.

After Wang Mingquan's song "Love in a Fallen City", the film awards ceremony continued, and the award for the best original song was presented this time.

The award presentation was presented to two well-known Hong Kong movie stars, Wang Yu and Tai Shun Chun, who were the two leading actors of the Shaw Brothers film "For Your Love", which was released last year. is also a new generation of actors that Shaw Brothers is now highly supporting. Among them, Wang Yu originally learned kung fu with Master Liu Jialiang, and starred in movies such as "God Fight" and "Tongtian Boy Red Gunman", and became a generation of red stars with the image of a kung fu boy.

However, with the rise of urban action movies, kung fu comedies in the early Republic of China gradually fell into loneliness, and even Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, etc. have changed their acting paths, and Wang Yu's re-playing of kung fu boys is not very popular. Fortunately, last year, he starred in "Love for You", written by Zhang Jianting and directed by Mu Dunfu, and played a gangster who fell in love with the daughter of a rich family in the film.

Because Wang Yu himself was born in Temple Street, his background at that time was not very good, so his temperament is very consistent with the roles in the film, plus his consistent kung fu boy image, he has a good comedy cell, so it is really suitable to act in this play. In addition, the heroine Dai Xuanchun is also very beautiful, especially the kind of pure temperament that I feel sorry for, which attracts many male audiences to the theater to watch. made "Love for You", a warm comedy that was not favored by Shaw Brothers, a box office dark horse, and the box office was higher than that of "Demon Temple and Dragon Slayer" directed by Zhang Cheda.

This film not only fulfilled Wang Yu, made him successfully transform from a kung fu boy in the early Republic of China to an urban comedy boy, but also made Dai Xuanchun jump from a second-tier actor to the leader of the Shaw Brothers.

"At the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, the Best Song Award was shortlisted, Ji Chen. "People in a Foreign Country". "Metropolis", Huang Zhan. "Love in a Fallen City", "Love in a Fallen City", Zhou Delan, "Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Sauce and Vinegar Tea", "Full of Gold and Jade", Mo Yunsheng, "Heart Covenant", "Unforgettable". Wang Yu read aloud, and at the same time, the list of shortlisted movie songs appeared on the screen one after another.

Xu Guanwu saw that they only read out the names of the finalists according to the list, and then announced the names of the winners. There wasn't much interaction in between, so I couldn't help but shake my head. The first award ceremony of the Academy Awards is really inexperienced, and there is still a big gap between the American Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards.

After Wang Yu finished reading the shortlist, he then handed the winner's card to Dai Xuanchun. After Dai Yuchun opened it, he read softly, "The best original song that won the first Hong Kong Film Awards is Mo Yunsheng, "Heart Covenant", "Unforgettable". Singer: Cai Qin! Congratulations to Mr. Mok. Congratulations to Miss Cai Qin. ”

"Unforgettable" is a film shot by First Pictures Institutional Film Company, and it is a rather aesthetic and touching ethical romance film. "Heart Covenant" was written by Taiwanese musician Mo Yunsheng. Sung by Taiwanese singer Tsai Qin. Because First Pictures Co., Ltd. is a company registered in Hong Kong, although most of the main creators of "Unforgettable" are Taiwanese, they are still classified as Hong Kong films, so Taiwanese composer Mo Yunsheng and Taiwanese singer Tsai Qin are also eligible for the shortlist.

After Dai Xuanchun read the names of the winners, Mo Yunsheng, who was sitting in the audience, stood up with singer Cai Qin and came to the stage to accept the award amid the congratulations of everyone. Xu Guanwu doesn't know this Mr. Mo Yunsheng, but he still knows a little about Cai Qin, and knows that she is a very powerful singer, "Your Eyes", "Just Like Your Tenderness", "Forgotten Time" and so on. Cai Qin's voice is very special, and someone commented in "Infernal Affairs" that the high pitch is accurate, the midrange is strong, the bass is deep, and in a word, it is transparent.

Although Xu Guanwu does not have such a good appreciation ability, he also feels that Cai Qin's singing voice is relatively mellow, like a bottle of red wine that has been collected for half a year, with a charming fragrance and mellow taste. However, Cai Qin is still relatively young at the moment, although he is not necessarily amazing, but he is also a very beautiful and temperamental girl.

"Thank you to the judges, it's a pleasure to receive this award. I hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards will get better and better. Mo Yunsheng said in Chinese after receiving the trophy, and Cai Qin then said, "Thank you for the love of the judges, I am very happy to get this award, I hope to sing more beautiful songs to everyone in the future, and I hope everyone can like it." ”

After the two retired with the award presenters, soon the music sounded again, this performance was just shortlisted by Zhou Delan lyrics, Xu Guan's masterpiece, Xu Guanying sang "Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Sauce and Vinegar Tea", this song is also the theme song of "Full of Gold and Jade", the music is lively, the lyrics are funny, it is a representative work of Xu's ghost horse song, last year sung by Xu Guanying and released a disc, it sold 100,000 copies in Hong Kong alone, which is quite a good record.

"My wife said seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, don't be lazy when you work hard, and you are not afraid of hard work and crime......" Xu Guanying sang and danced, to be honest, the singing is still relatively good, but the dancing posture is relatively ugly. This is probably also a common problem of Hong Kong singers, Hong Kong singers have always had a lot of good singing skills, but their good dancing skills are quite limited.

This has also led to the popularity of Hong Kong singers in the traditional record market, but once in the new century, when young people are no longer satisfied with just listening to songs, Hong Kong records have fallen into decline, on the contrary, Korean idol groups have begun to sweep the Asian music market with advanced packaging and cool and sexy dance.

In terms of singing skills, Hong Kong singers are at least two levels stronger than Korean singers, but because people are singing and doing all-round mobilization, and the main attack is the electronic dance music market, which is the weakness of the Hong Kong music scene, the Hong Kong music scene is also losing under the invasion of the Korean Wave. When Xu Guanwu saw Ah Ying's swaying appearance, he couldn't help but think about cultivating outstanding dance talents in Hong Kong.

After Xu Guanying sang the song "Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Sauce, Vinegar and Tea", it won thunderous applause from the audience, which also reflected Xu Guanying's current popularity, which is really extraordinary.

After Xu Guanying retired, the Academy Awards continued to be awarded, and the next award was the Best Art Direction Award. Art direction is also very important to the film, he is responsible for dressing the actors beautifully, also responsible for the film's framing, set and other work, but also responsible for the film's lighting, photography, etc., in short, any work related to the beauty of the film is his job.

The person in charge of awarding the award is Liu Yong, a young student of Golden Harvest, and the beautiful Miao Kewei. Liu Yong and Miao Kewei both filmed with Mr. Bruce Lee before, Liu Yong played a little hooligan in "Tangshan Big Brother", and also played Chen Zhen's younger brother in "Jingwumen". After Bruce Lee died, Xu Guanwen ran away again, and Hong Kong then rose up kung fu comedy craze, Liu Yong was promoted to a popular student because of his handsome appearance and agile skills, starring in more than a dozen blockbuster kung fu films, and starred in the urban action movie "Thief" last year and achieved very good results.
