Chapter 216: Call Me Edison
On April 4th, the annual Academy Awards ceremony was officially held at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
As the largest event in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, this award ceremony brought together the attention of all media and audiences.
This year's Academy Awards can be described as star-studded, with almost all the big-name stars present, and the Chief Executive of Xiangjiang also attended in person.
In addition, the mainland's CCTV movie channel also broadcast the Academy Awards live for the first time.
This is a treatment that only Oscar has, so Du Qifeng's worries have also been alleviated a lot.
Mu Rong is the actor in the movie and has to appear with Du Qifeng.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, he got into the car with Du Qifeng and Zhang Bozhi and lined up to get ready to enter.
Sitting in the back seat, Mu Rong flipped through the "Special Issue of the Xiangjiang Film Awards Ceremony".
This is a special issue of the magazine just released yesterday, and the organizing committee convened all the nominees who participated in the meeting the day before yesterday to take a group photo of publicity.
Different from previous brochures that focused on announcing the introduction of the nominees, this special issue brings out the major events and important works of Heung Kong Film in the past 22 years by reviewing the previous Academy Awards.
Looking at the records in the magazine, Mu Rong realized that there were no cards at all in the early days of the Academy Awards, and many celebrities did not support the show, and often arrived late, left early, or did not show up.
Because the Academy Awards are a confidential lottery, that is, the list of winners is not announced until the last minute, if you attend and don't win the award, wouldn't it be very shameless?
Therefore, many celebrities will prevaricate from attending for various reasons, or show up in casual clothes, as if going to a neighbor's house to play mahjong.
The famous movie star Jacy Zheng has the nickname of "Zheng Jiu Group", because when she was at her peak, she had nine groups of dramas at the same time, and she was popular with half the sky.
And she once attended the Academy Awards, but when it was time to present her with the award, she suddenly disappeared.
Later, I found out that her beloved puppy was missing, and she went to the street to find the dog.
This also made Wu Siyuan, chairman of the organizing committee, scratch his scalp with sorrow, and lamented that the filmmakers in Xiangjiang are not united at all, just like a plate of loose sand.
Later, the prosperity and decline of Xiangjiang movies also proved this.
Du Qifeng glanced at the magazine in Mu Rong's hand, and the old photos on it also evoked his memories: "In the eighties and nineties, Xiangjiang was called Dongfang Haolaiwu, look at it now, alas! ”
"It's going to be fine."
Mu Rong closed the magazine and said seriously: "Aren't I here?" ”
"Haha! It's up to you! ”
Du Qifeng was happy and happy again.
As the favorite to win the award tonight, Du Qifeng was arranged to appear last.
After sitting in the car for more than an hour, the car finally drove to the entrance red carpet.
The car door opened, Du Qifeng got out of the car, holding Mu Rong and Zhang Bozhi in his left and right hands respectively, and in an instant, the flashing lights converged into a strip of light.
"Brother Johnnie! Look here! ”
"Director! Look at the camera! Shouldn't it! ”
"King of Fighters! Champion! Look here! Look here! ”
"Zhang Bozhi! Look here! ”
Kacha Kacha Kacha!
The sound of shutters and flashes was incessant, and Mu Rong paced calmly, more than half of the reporters' cameras moving with his pace.
didn't stay long, Du Qifeng took Mu Rong and Zhang Bozhi into the scene.
With their popularity and coffee position, just a few random photos are enough to be on the page.
Only small characters who are not famous will walk 50 meters for half an hour in order to rub the red carpet.
After leaving his name on the signature wall, the host Zeng Baoyi interviewed Du Qifeng and his party.
"Director, how many trophies are you going to take home this time?"
Zeng Baoyi is an old fritter in the Xiangjiang hosting industry, and he has no stage fright in the face of a director like Du Qifeng.
"Just do your best."
Du Qifeng replied sincerely: "I hope to leave more opportunities for young people. ”
"Sure enough, it's a senior, I don't care about awards, the most important thing is to take care of the juniors, so wild!"
Zeng Baoyi praised it, and turned the microphone to Zhang Bozhi: "Then let's interview Miss Bozhi again, this time you have two plays shortlisted for Best Actress, do you think you have a chance to win this trophy this time?" ”
"I hope it's me, but it depends on the judges' opinions."
In this kind of public place, Zhang Bozhi is still relatively restrained.
Xiang Tai often told her to talk less and say more wrong.
"Hope you have good luck!"
Zeng Baoyi looked at Mu Rong and turned the microphone with a smile: "Next, let's interview Mr. Mu Rong, may I ask Mr. Boxing King, you can win the boxing championship in a boxing match, and you made a movie for the first time and was shortlisted for Best Actor, everyone wants to know, how can you be as good as you?" ”
Mu Rong looked at the camera, lowered his head and spit out three words: "Not picky eater." ”
Zeng Baoyi was stunned, Du Qifeng also looked at Mu Rong in amazement, Zhang Bozhi didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
"Clams?"
Zeng Baoyi didn't catch Mu Rong's answer, and was a little confused: "Does it mean to eat well?" ”
Mu Rong added: "Eat more vegetables to strengthen your body. ”
“……”
Zeng Baoyi couldn't pick it up at all.
Mu Rong looked at the camera with a calm expression.
He didn't want to answer like this, but he couldn't answer the question Zeng Baoyi asked.
How can you become as good as him?
I'm afraid I can only rely on dreams.
"Uh...... So what do you think about the future of Hong Kong films? ”
Zeng Baoyi had no choice but to ask a prepared question.
Mu Rong couldn't answer this question casually, he said with a straight face: "I believe that with the strong support of the mainland and the continuous efforts of Xiangjiang filmmakers, Xiangjiang films will definitely get better and better and regain their glory." ”
"Okay, then borrow the good words of the boxing king, and wish Xiangjiang movies better and better, thank you!"
Zeng Baoyi hurriedly sent Mu Rong and the three into the venue.
After entering the infield, Zhang Bozhi was still laughing: "No... Not picky eater, hahahaha! Many... Eat more greens, hahahahaha! ”
Mu Rong looked at Du Qifeng speechlessly.
Du Qifeng raised his hand: "The idiot is here." ”
The Grand Theater was brightly lit and already full of people, and the stars were shining.
As the favorite to win the award, Du Qifeng's crew was arranged in the center of the third and fourth rows, which is the best area.
Next door is the crew of "Infernal Affairs 2", Mu Rong sat down, and saw Wu Zhenyu next to him.
Mu Rong watched "Infernal Affairs 2", Wu Zhenyu played Ni Yongxiao with a depressed personality and a deep city government in the movie, and Mu Rong was very impressed.
But after seeing Mu Rong, Wu Zhenyu stretched out his hand in surprise: "Hello boxing king!" I'm a fan of yours! I watched your game! ”
"Really?"
Mu Rong smiled and asked, "Did you buy me to win?" ”
"Haha! I bought half a million! Earn double! ”
Wu Zhenyu smiled even more happily, and then elbowed a young actor next to him: "Let me introduce you, Edison, Chen Guanxi, newcomers are here." ”
The young actor leaned out, hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed an unruly smile: "Brother Rong, call me edison." ”
