Chapter 304: Meet Two Little Ones Again
"Ahhhh......h
"Ahhh......h
On the 25th, the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards was officially held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
Undoubtedly, this year's Academy Awards also held a red carpet ceremony.
However, unlike music awards, the red carpet ceremony of the Academy Awards is mainly dominated by the crew.
That is, when walking the red carpet, unless it is an artist who has not been shortlisted.
Otherwise, most of the finalists will be arranged by the organizer to enter with the crew.
Chen Qiming's entry this year is with "Chongqing Forest".
Chen Qiming, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Lin Qingxia and Faye Wong.
The four of them appeared together.
The four of them are all top figures in the entertainment industry, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Especially Chen Qiming.
It was obviously four people who entered, but the audience was almost full of his fans cheering.
In the front row, the crazy fans near the red carpet kept shaking the railing in front of them while screaming loudly.
Some people even started to climb the railing after seeing Chen Qiming, and were eventually driven back by the on-site security guards.
"It's crazy! It's hard to imagine what a place you have in their hearts! ”
As they walked, the four of them waved to the audience with smiles.
The reporter's camera clicked and clicked.
When she turned around to let the reporter take pictures, Lin Qingxia said in a low voice.
Chen Qiming knew that Lin Qingxia was talking to him.
However, he did not answer immediately, but continued to deal with reporters.
After the red talk was finished and entered the interview area, he said modestly: "Compared to Sister Qingxia, you are still far behind!" ”
"You're humble!"
Lin Qingxia smiled, knowing that Chen Qiming was humble.
When was Lin Qingxia the most popular?
In fact, it was 92 to 93 years.
Lin Qingxia was indeed popular in the 80s, and she was once the most popular actress on Treasure Island.
However, her real popularity actually started from "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated".
The film didn't do well at the box office in Hong Kong, but it was a hot mess in other regions.
Chen Qiming remembers that he also went to see this movie.
It seems like...... seems to be with his college friend Zeng Baoyi, Zeng Baoyi was still confessing to himself at that time.
It is precisely because of the undefeated popularity of the East that Lin Qingxia's career has reached its peak in recent years.
Costume movies in which women dress up as men have almost become her standard.
However, there is one thing to say, although Lin Qingxia is popular, she is a little worse than Chen Qiming.
Chen Qiming has not starred in a few movies at all in recent years.
But the salary has been raised to tens of millions, relying on the huge popularity transformation of the music industry.
And he is also the first to let his salary rise again and again because of the huge appeal of the music world, even to the point of being on the same level as Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and others.
This achievement is not weak.
You must know that the current salary of 10 million yuan will become one Li every two weeks.
And almost all of these people have reached this point with years of box office accumulation.
Only Chen Qiming, in recent years, he has indeed had several films that have exploded at the box office.
"The Storm Dominates the World", "Heavenly Love", "Whirlwind Kid", these movies have a cumulative box office of hundreds of millions in Asia.
But compared to those people, it is a lot worse.
But in this case, his salary can still reach tens of millions.
It relies on the transformation of popularity in the music world.
With such a high popularity, if it can't be compared to Lin Qingxia at the beginning, it can't be said.
However, it cannot be considered that Lin Qingxia is weak because of this.
On the contrary, Lin Qingxia is definitely a special case in the Chinese film industry.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the positioning of actresses has always been very clear.
That's the vase.
In this era, it is absolutely impossible for an actress to get ahead by relying on her acting skills.
The only way for them to get ahead is to look beautiful and then act as a vase in the movie.
As for acting...... It doesn't matter if you have it or not.
But Lin Qingxia is an exception.
Lin Qingxia was indeed beautiful when she was young, but Lin Qingxia in the 90s was already in her thirties.
At this time, she is actually inferior to others in appearance.
However, in such a situation, she stood out from many actors with her unique temperament and acting skills, and became the highest-paid actress in the 90s, the difficulty of which can be imagined.
Moreover, Lin Qingxia is also one of the few actresses who can carry the box office alone.
With such an existence, even if his popularity is weaker than his own, Chen Qiming does not dare to be too big in front of her.
"I heard you're planning a movie to break into Hollywood, how about it, is there a role for me?"
didn't talk too much about who is popular and who is not, Lin Qingxia asked about the project "Python Disaster".
As a project led by Qiming Film and Television and jointly invested by Golden Harvest, China Film in the Mainland, Shanghai Studios and Time Warner of the United States, although "Python Disaster" has not yet been filmed, the reputation of this project has already spread throughout Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Some people dismiss this, thinking that it will be another film with a lot of thunder and a little rain.
Similarly, some people believe that since this film can gather so many companies to invest, the chances of success must be very high, so many people also see it as an opportunity.
Obviously, Lin Qingxia is this kind of person.
Not only her, but after hearing her inquiry, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Faye Wong, who had been following the two of them, also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear if there was a shortage of people in this project.
"I'm really sorry, there are enough actors in this project, and besides, there is no role suitable for Sister Qingxia!"
Chen Qiming said euphemistically.
If "Anaconda Disaster" adopts an all-Chinese lineup, then Lin Qingxia is indeed a good choice.
It's a pity that Chen Qiming has planned to use more foreigners in this project.
Therefore, even if Lin Qingxia recommended herself, it would be impossible for the crew to vacate the role for her.
"That's it! It's a shame, but next time you have a suitable project, you should consider me! ”
Although Lin Qingxia was a little disappointed, she didn't show it, but said with a smile.
"Definitely!"
Chen Qiming nodded.
If there was a suitable role, he would definitely think of her.
It's just that, according to Chen Qiming's estimate, I'm afraid Lin Qingxia won't come to shoot at that time.
1995 was a very special year.
At least, from Chen Qiming's dreamy eyes, this is the case.
Since the beginning of this year, the Hong Kong film industry has officially begun to go downhill.
During the year, the total number of films will drop by about half compared to the previous year.
With the decrease in the number of films, many actors will naturally face a situation where there is no drama to film.
In the case of a large number of involutions and no gains, this year, a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars began to retire and change careers.
Among them, several of Hong Kong's most well-known actresses will gradually fade out of the audience's sight this year.
Wang Zuxian, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Lin Qingxia, Michelle Yeoh, Zhou Huimin, Guan Zhilin and a large number of existences that have left a deep mark in Hong Kong films have almost all begun to retire in the past two years.
Therefore, Chen Qiming estimates that it will be difficult to invite Lin Qingxia to make movies in the future.
However, Chen Qiming has no regrets about this.
When these people retire, new people will still emerge.
Although according to the memories in the dream, the quality of Hong Kong and Taiwan beauties in the future will become worse and worse, but there are also some good existences.
In addition, if Hong Kong and Taiwan retreat, won't the mainland start to emerge!
He never worries that he will not find a beautiful actress in the future.
It really didn't work, he directly held a beauty contest in the mainland......
Several people entered the venue while talking.
In the middle, he was interviewed by the host and reporters.
After entering the venue, under the arrangement of the organizer, the group came to their place and sat down.
"Brother Xiao Ming!"
Not long after I sat down, someone from the organizer came over with someone again.
The person who came happened to be sitting next to Chen Qiming.
"It's the two of you!"
Seeing the two little ones in front of him, Chen Qiming picked up one of them with a smile on his face.
Sitting next to him was none other than the crew of "Oolong Courtyard".
Wu Mengda took Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen.
","
Nodding and saying hello to Wu Mengda, Chen Qiming looked at Shi Xiaolong who was held in his arms, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I've gained a lot of weight!" ”
"I'm just a little fatter, Arwen is really fat!"
Shi Xiaolong was very unhappy when he said to Chen Qiming that he was fat, and retorted with a pout.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming looked at Hao Shaowen.
The guy was looking at him and giggling.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"Little fat man!" pinched his face, Chen Qiming couldn't help but think of the scene when he was filming the Whirlwind Kid.
At that time, the two little guys didn't understand anything, and many scenes had to be filmed inducingly.
For example, in the final battle, there is a scene where Hao Shaowen presses the switch on and off, and the villain father and son played by Wu Bai and Qin Pei.
At that time, in order to let Hao Shaowen show a giggle scene, the crew did not think much about it.
The assistant director of the crew sacrificed the most, and even took off his pants on the spot to tease the little guy.
At that time, it took all his strength to make him giggle, but now, without any inducement, he began to giggle himself.
"Are you two going to perform today?"
After looking at Shi Xiaolong and seeing that he was still wearing monk's robes, Chen Qiming asked suspiciously.
"The organizers asked them to present the best martial arts awards!"
Wu Mengda explained.
"That's amazing! This year's best martial arts instructor seems to be the most likely to be won by Jackie Chan, and you are both mixed up enough to give him an award, not bad! ”
Hearing Wu Mengda say this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but sigh.
If you want to say who is the most beautiful in the music scene in 1994, it must be Chen Qiming.
The two records reached 10 million sales in the same year.
This terrifying statistic has made Chen Qiming a household name.
In the film industry, if you talk about who is the most beautiful, it must be these two little guys.
After the success of "Whirlwind Kid", Changhong made persistent efforts to produce "Oolong Courtyard", which was also popular all over Asia without Chen Qiming, making these two little guys become big stars that everyone envies in a short period of time.
This scenery is now beginning to be translated into a real status as well.
Now, even the Academy Awards are starting to rub off on their popularity.
After catching up with the two little guys, the time came to eight o'clock, and the award ceremony officially began.
Chen Qiming also put down Shi Xiaolong and watched the award carefully.
The award began with a not-so-heavyweight award, the first award for Best Styling Costume Design.
The award was won by Zhang Shuping of "East Evil and West Poison".
Speaking of this year's Academy Awards, if Chen Qiming is the most popular shortlisted actor, then Wong Kar-wai should be the most beautiful director.
After two years, this guy returned to the Academy Awards this year, but only one film was shortlisted.
His two films, "Chongqing Forest" and "East Evil and West Poison", are strong contenders for best film.
Although the films directed by Wong Kar-wai have never received too high a box office in the Hong Kong film industry, but the flowers bloom inside the walls and the fragrance outside the walls, this guy has always adhered to the literary and artistic boutique route of big casts and big productions.
This has made him a frequent visitor to major awards, and even popular at international film festivals such as Cannes and Venice.
Recently, some media even directly reported that he is the director with the most commercial gimmicks in the Hong Kong film industry.
Well, this guy's movie is really very gimmicky.
The cast is huge and the investment is high.
However, the cost is also high.
If it weren't for the fact that his movies were very popular abroad and made a lot of money back to investors, this guy would have been hacked to death on the streets of Hong Kong for all kinds of investment fraud.
Awards ceremonies are boring.
At least, Chen Qiming thinks so.
He was only shortlisted for the Best Actor award this year.
So I watched it almost the whole time.
The kind of plot where you have a sore butt in your seat, but you still have to keep smiling at all times to avoid being caught in indecent actions by the camera, is definitely a feeling that is both boring and makes people feel like they can't sit still.
So, after sitting for about half an hour, after learning that he could go backstage to prepare, Chen Qiming quickly got up and went backstage.
He is still going to appear as a guest singer this year.
Backstage, Chen Qiming first went to meet his backup dance troupe.
Although today's singing does not require him to have too much tacit understanding with the backup dancer, it is necessary to get to know the collaborators in advance, which is what Chen Qiming has to do every time he performs.
After getting to know the backup dancers first and cheering them up, Chen Qiming began to change his clothes next to him and went to the toilet by the way.
After about ten minutes, it was finally time for him to play.
"Next, I would like to invite Chen Qiming to bring us a brand new song of his......"
"Ahhh......hh
Before the host Lin Jianming finished speaking, the ordinary audience at the back of the audience suddenly boiled.
Screams swept through the stadium like a heat wave, as if it was about to explode the stadium.
"Damn, damn it, this guy can surprise people every time he plays on such an occasion!"
The thunderous screams and applause made Jacky Cheung couldn't help but cover his ears slightly.
Even if tens of thousands of concerts have been held, he is still a little unaccustomed to the screams of the audience as if they were crazy every time Chen Qiming appears.
At this time, on the stage, a group of female backup dancers wearing long white dresses gave priority to the stage.
Then, the piano sounded.
With the sound of the piano, a curtain not far away was slowly opened, and Chen Qiming, dressed in white, was sitting in front of the piano and playing seriously.
Wow......
Seeing Chen Qiming, the audience below broke out into a more enthusiastic scream and applause again, and then, these screams and applause disappeared, and the audience stopped roaring and began to listen carefully to Chen Qiming's songs.
"I will run, I will climb, I will soar
I'm undefeated
Jumping out of my skin, pull the chordEcstasy, pull the strings
yes I believe it
……”
A gentle voice came out of Chen Qiming's mouth.
As he began to sing, music videos began to appear on the big screen.
An old man is teaching his grandson to play table tennis in the park, and his grandson is not even able to hold the racket steadily at first, but slowly, as time passes, his skills get better and better.
He began to participate in competitions, one by one, and the trophy was carried back by him.
But he wasn't happy.
His goal is not just for these trophies, he aspires to the national team on TV to bring glory to his country internationally.
But he applied several times, but he didn't get in.
"I'm going, is it the theme song of the World Championships? Is the promotion of the World Championships about to begin? ”
Among the many seats, Yu Rongguang, who was originally sitting casually, immediately sat up straight after seeing the MV.
"It's really not human!"
Chen Qiming's melodious singing voice sounded in his ears, and Jacky Cheung couldn't help but curse secretly.
He was still not convinced.
But what's special is that this Chen Qiming is like he is not a human being, and he takes out one golden song after another.
In terms of the quality of the song.
There is no doubt that he feels that Chen Qiming may be making waves in Europe and the United States again.
Because this song is really outstanding.
And it's also a rare inspirational song. ……
