499 [Lifetime Achievement Award]

After sitting separately, Guan Zhilin leaned on Kang Jianfei and whispered: "That Huang Yulang is not a good person, his eyes are always squinting at other people's chests. ”

Kang Jianfei was not only not jealous, but smiled happily: "Don't worry, you are not the type he likes." Huang Yulang is now dating Ni Shibei, and he obviously likes the jade girl type. ”

"Am I a beautiful girl!" Guan Zhilin saw that Kang Jianfei was not nervous about her at all, and immediately pouted depressedly and said, "I see that you don't have me in your heart at all, and you are thinking about those fox spirits." ”

Kang Jianfei hurriedly patted the back of Guan Zhilin's hand and coaxed: "Okay, don't be angry, you see I threw Qingxia and Honggu down, and came with you to participate in the award ceremony." ”

As soon as Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong were mentioned, Guan Zhilin felt a kind of pressure that a man would be snatched away. When the three of them filmed "Dao Ma Dan" together, the sisters had a good relationship, but now they basically don't take the initiative to contact, the reason is because there is a Kang Jianfei in the middle.

Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong have developed very smoothly in the film industry in recent years, and they sit firmly in the top two positions of Hong Kong actresses, while Guan Zhilin fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and she will only take on films to play when she is bored.

Invisibly, Guan Zhilin felt that she was compared to Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong, so some time ago, she took advantage of Kang Jianfei to star in a movie.

Zhong Chuhong also won a nomination for Best Actress this time, and was sitting with Xu Anhua, Zhou Yanfa, and Zhang Guorong at this time. Zhong Chuhong is also quite depressed about Kang Jianfei's heart many times, but he always makes up his mind and decides to break up.

"Why are the two seniors Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian here?" Zhong Chuhong originally tilted his head to look at Kang Jianfei, but saw two very familiar old faces.

Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian are both women, giants in the Hong Kong opera and film industries, and there is almost no Hong Kong person over the age of 30 who does not know them.

Zhou Yunfa also felt very strange. The two opera giants have long since retired, and occasionally come out to sing or make cameos in movies, why did they come to the Academy Awards ceremony today?

"Maybe it's a special guest of honor." Zhou Yunfa guessed.

Zhang Guorong was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "The two of them are not here to present the award, they were specially invited by the organizing committee to receive the award." ”

"What awards? They didn't make a movie last year. Zhong Chuhong asked.

"Lifetime Achievement Award," Zhang Guorong said and suddenly stood up, "It's almost time, I'm going to go backstage to prepare." ”

The appearance of Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian did not only make Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong. Many of the guests at the scene were whispering.

Chen Bosen looked at the seat below and said to Shu Qi: "This year's Academy Awards nominations are a bit outrageous, and tomorrow's newspaper may be scribbling again." ”

"yes, it's going to be scribbling again." Shu Qi said with a headache.

In terms of total box office volume alone, the Hong Kong film industry is now a three-legged triumph of DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City. The nominations for this year's Academy Awards are dominated by DreamWorks, and the total number of shortlisted films for Golden Harvest and New Arts City is only two or three. Such a disparity. It really makes people doubt the fairness of the Academy Awards. Who called Phoenix TV the organizer of the Academy Awards?

"Phoenix Channel has become a subsidiary of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, and its relationship with DreamWorks is even closer, and Phoenix Channel must not be allowed to host next year's Academy Awards." Shu Qi said seriously. Although Kang Jianfei has never interfered in the selection of the Academy Awards, he is far cuter than any sponsor, but in order to make the Academy Awards bigger, Shu Qi still has to let the Academy Awards avoid the suspicion of black-box operation.

"Will he be willing?" Chen Bosen asked.

Shu Qi said resolutely in a resolute tone: "If you want to talk about it or not." Otherwise, in the eyes of the outside world, the Academy Awards will become more and more like DreamWorks toys. ”

Among the three giants of the Hong Kong film industry this year, only Kang Jianfei attended the Academy Awards ceremony as a guest, and neither Golden Harvest nor the head of New Art City came.

……

After a short wait. The Academy Awards ceremony has finally officially begun.

The master of ceremonies did not show up for the first time, the stage was pitch black, and suddenly in the sound of drums, a figure walked to the front of the stage with the lights.

"The moon shines on the seashore

Thousands of miles of quicksilver, jade Yu dust-free"

Suddenly, the song came out of the stage, and the tune seemed to be Cantonese opera but not authentic, but listening to the voice, I knew that it was Zhang Guorong singing.

"The scent of flowers is darkly approaching

The night is charming, and the dreams are charming."

Another figure came to the stage and continued to sing Zhang Guorong's lyrics, but it was Anita Mui who sold more than 400,000 records last year, shocking Anita Mui in the Hong Kong music scene.

"Haha......"

There was a burst of relaxed laughter in the audience, but it was Cheung Guorong and Anita Mui who were both wearing Cantonese opera costumes, singing and squeezing their eyebrows on stage to make fun of their eyes.

"Spring Festival adds charm

The evening breeze is gentle, and the flowing water sings

The night was truly intoxicating

Dancing together, like clouds chasing the moon

A few laughs into the rhyme

……”

With the beautiful singing voices of Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian in the audience couldn't help but tune in, closed their eyes and beat intoxicatedly.

After singing the song, there was thunderous applause in the theater, and Ren Jianhui, who was wearing a men's suit, opened his eyes and said, "Sister Xian, this is the tune of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", right?" ”

"Brother Hui, it's the tune of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", but it has a little bit of pop song flavor," Bai Xuexian wiped his face with a handkerchief and praised, "But this lyricist is good, and the lyrics written are very classical." ”

At this time, the lights on the stage were already bright, but Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, who were wearing Cantonese opera costumes, did not get off the stage. Zhang Guorong took the lead and said: "Today is the award ceremony of the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards, and when it comes to Hong Kong films, the genre of opera movies cannot be avoided. ”

Anita Mui answered: "Yes, from 1905 to the present, it has a history of just 80 years. ”

Zhang Guorong: "80 years have passed in a hurry, with a flick of a finger. ”

Anita Mui: "This year is not only the 80th birthday of Chinese films, but also the 80th birthday of Chinese opera films. ”

Cheung Kwok-rong: "When it comes to Hong Kong opera films, I think two familiar names immediately come to mind. ”

Anita Mui: "The first award presented by the Academy Awards tonight is the Lifetime Achievement Award for Chinese Opera Films. ”

Zhang Guorong: "Please invite the guest to present the award, Mr. Kang Jianfei came to the stage to announce the winners and present the awards!" ”

Prior to this, the Academy Awards advertised that this year was the 80th birthday of Chinese films, and many people were also looking forward to the awards ceremony to come up with new ideas, but they didn't expect it to be so exciting at the beginning.

"Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" is an orchestral folk music composed by Ren Guang and Nie Er in the 30s, in fact, it was seen in the Cantonese music score of the Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a widely circulated folk music in Guangzhou/Eastern China, but it was modified, standardized and sorted out by Ren Guang and Nie Er to be more charming.

Since it was recorded on record in the 30s, "Caiyun Chasing the Moon" has had various lyrics versions, and there are seven or eight Cantonese versions alone, and Bai Xuexian and Ren Jianhui have naturally sung them.

And Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui sang "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" at the beginning, combining Cantonese opera with popular style, compared with the previous version, it is both new and nostalgic, which is really eye-catching.

Only the opening of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" already makes people feel the sincerity of this Academy Awards ceremony, which is obviously made to celebrate the 80th birthday of Chinese films.

And the two opera actors who are about to win the Lifetime Achievement Award, everyone has guessed who it is, so before Kang Jianfei opened his mouth after he came on stage, there was another round of applause from the audience.

"I am very happy and honored to be able to present the award today as the presenter, and to give the Lifetime Achievement Award to the two seniors in the film industry," Kang Jianfei spoke quite politely in public, "Chinese films have been branded as opera since the moment they were born, so today we have specially prepared two trophies for the two opera masters to celebrate the 80th birthday of Chinese film films, and let me send my most sincere respect to the two opera masters." The two masters of Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian are invited to the stage to receive the award! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

This time, the applause was extraordinarily enthusiastic, as if the sound waves could pierce the ceiling of the theater.

Kang Jianfei picked up the two trophies from the tray and handed them to the two old ladies Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian respectively.

Bai Xuexian didn't know what to say to the microphone, and after saying thank you to everyone, she said to Ren Jianhui: "Brother Hui, come on." ”

Ren Jianhui has always been dressed as a woman, she bowed first, and then said: "Thank you for the recognition of the Academy Awards, and thank you for your support, so that Xian Mei and I won the trophy of the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Taiping Theater." Over the decades, Xian Mei and I have performed at least hundreds of Cantonese opera performances in this Taiping Theatre, and our theatrical films have often been shown here. Standing on this stage at this moment, I feel like I am in a different world, as if I am still the Cantonese opera student who can sing and dance 30 years ago......"

Ren Jianhui is old, and he has a lot of memories and feelings, and he said for five or six minutes in one breath, and the director of the award ceremony was so anxious that he ran to the edge of the stage to give Kang Jianfei a look.

Many people present grew up listening to the plays of the two old ladies, such as Zhang Guorong, who has been obsessed with Ren and Bai since he was a child, and often skips class to go to watch the second old man singing.

However, Kang Jianfei couldn't let this one talk any longer, he quietly came to Bai Xuexian's side and whispered: "Senior Bai, it's almost time." ”

Bai Xuexian immediately understood, and interjected: "Ouch, Brother Hui, you have made an old mistake again, and you didn't stop talking as soon as you talked, and it will be almost dawn if you continue to talk." ”

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, and Ren Jianhui finally stopped talking, and asked the most eloquently: "Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui sang "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" just now, which lyricist filled in the words?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled modestly: "It was in the next place that the class made an axe and smiled." ”

"It's worthy of being a talented Kang Da," Ren Jianhui asked, "I wonder if this song can make me sing with the fairy sister?" ”

"Of course you can, just the two seniors fill a record." Kang Jianfei's brain turned very fast, and he recorded records for Bai Xuexian and Ren Jianhui, who had been retired for almost 20 years. With the influence of the two in the hearts of the older generation in Hong Kong, coupled with the singing versions of Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, the fan base runs from 8 to 80 years old, and it is strange that record sales do not sell well.
