Chapter 382: Academy Awards (2-in-1)
Before the ceremony, the pilot film on the big screen reviewed the past glory of Hong Kong Island films as usual, and finally said: "In the 30th year of this year, with your support, Hong Kong Island films will continue to shine together with the Pearl of the Orient." β
This is the official beginning of the ceremony.
After Kwan Shuyi and Tse Anqi sang the classic songs, Zeng Zhiwei took the stage as the opening guest to deliver a speech, saying that he was proud of being a Hong Kong Island filmmaker, looking back on the difficult times of Hong Kong Island films in the past, I believe that as long as everyone is united, there will be no hurdles that cannot be overcome, and finally called on the guests present to "please support Hong Kong Island Film and Film Awards".
Of course, you have to applaud and smile, but Zhang Yuanjun still shook his head secretly in his heart, it was a happy thing to have a party, how could he complain as soon as he came up, even if he was bitter, there was no need to talk about it.
After Zeng Zhiwei finished speaking, the three hosts of the party appeared: Mao Shunjun, Zheng Danrui, and Gu Dezhao.
The three of them warmed up on stage, and when it came to the actor competition, of course, they would not let go of Nicholas Tse and Zhang Yuanjun, Zheng Danrui pointed to the two competitors in the audience and said: "This year's actor competition, it's amazing, there are two good young people, Nicholas Tse," the camera gave Nicholas Tse, "and Zhang Yuanjun." The camera was given to Zhang Yuanjun.
"Both of them are post-80s, and Zhang Yuanjun won the Cannes International Best Actor at the age of 24, which is amazing." Liang Chaowei didn't come today, Zhang Yuanjun is the only Cannes actor in the audience, of course, I have to mention it.
After gossiping, the awards began to be awarded, and the first awards were Best New Actor and Best New Director, and the winners were Wang Jing and Xu Anhua.
At this time, there was an oolong, and after the three hosts announced that they had invited director Xu Anhua and director Wang Jing, the live music began to play, but the two guests did not appear for a long time.
The audience was quiet for at least five seconds, and the host realized that there might be a problem in the background, Zheng Danrui hurriedly answered, saying that tonight's awards ceremony was very grand, and the behind-the-scenes staff and guests in the backstage were very busy, so please welcome the guests with warmer applause.
The other two hosts also quickly took over, and finally, maybe the backstage director in the headset said that he was ready, and the three hosts said again: "Everyone welcomes Director Wang Jing and Director Xu Anhua with warm applause." β
Jiang Yiyi was shortlisted for the Best New Actor with the role of Zheng Xiaomi in "Lonely Agent", and she naturally did not escape Wang Jing's ridicule: "Jiang Yiyi was only 8 years old when she filmed "Lonely Agent", and now she is still doing her homework at home and can't come to the scene. β
Xu Anhua said: "Let's award the best new actor first, everyone please watch the big screen. β
The finalists are:
Jing Boran "Love in the City".
Peng Guanqi's "Amphetamines".
Chen Huanren "Bruce Lee".
Du Yuhang's "Prequel to Ip Man".
Jiang Yiyi, "Lone Agent".
Wang Jing asked Xu Anhua to announce, and she was not polite, and said directly into the microphone: "The winner of the Best New Actor at the 30th Hong Kong Island Film Awards is, Chen Huanren. β
There are only three people shortlisted for the best new director in the back: Anxi "Full Moon Hennessy", Zhuang Wenqiang "Flying Sand Wind Transit" and Huang Guozhao "Drunkard".
The winner was Zhuang Wenqiang.
Liu Yifei, who was watching the audience, was stunned: "Zhuang Wenqiang is a rookie director?" β
Zhang Yuanjun didn't turn around for a while, and then he understood and explained to Liu Yifei: "The rookie director should be the first time to direct independently, and Zhuang Wenqiang's previous films were all co-directed with Mak Zhaohui. β
"That's right." Liu Yifei nodded.
After the new director was awarded, the big screen on the scene reviewed the "most memorable moment" and played the clips of several actors and actresses when they won the awards.
continued to award the Best Supporting Actress, and Shao Yinyin won the award for "Fighting the Ring".
After that, Sa Dingding and Wu Qingfeng came to the stage to sing the theme song of "Sword Rain", Sa Dingding's style basically made the audience unable to hear Wu Qingfeng's voice, and this song was also shortlisted for tonight's best original movie song.
After the singing, the award ceremony continued, and Peng Haoxiang and Mai Xiyin won the best screenplay with "Zhiming and Chunjiao".
Then an award for the best on-site dress that had nothing to do with the movie was awarded, which was won by Wu Azu and Wen Yongshan.
Then, Yang Ying, Huang Baiming, and Fang Haoyuan took the stage, ready to open the best photography and the best editing.
Liu Yifei watched from the audience: "She is Xiao Ming's rumored girlfriend." β
"Gossip girlfriend? It's basically solid. Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Really? The next time I see Xiao Ming, I have to ask him well. Liu Yifei said with a smile.
The award was presented on stage, and the best photography was opened first, which was won by Bao Dexi.
Open the best editing again, and the finalists for the best editing award this time are all action movies.
"Lone Agent" played beautifully and cut beautifully, and Lin An'er lived up to expectations and won the Best Editing Trophy at her second Academy Awards.
Later, he gave the Hong Kong film gold medal agent Cheng Ziqiang a professionalism award.
When Cheng Ziqiang appeared on the stage, everyone stood up and saluted, and Cheng Long, Zhao Yazhi, Wu Azu and other actors who had worked with him came to the stage to collectively present awards to him.
Zhang Xueyou sang "My Way" through VCR to pay tribute to Cheng Ziqiang.
After Cheng Ziqiang received the trophy, he said that he has been in the film industry for 40 years and has never regretted entering the wrong industry.
Won the applause of the audience.
Before the next award was presented, the host Gu Dezhao came to the audience and interviewed Nicholas Tse: "When the next two awards are awarded, I want to chat with Nicholas Tse first. It's not because you're competing for the best actor, but because you're the owner of a post-production company, why didn't you scold you for investing in such an expensive post-production when SARS was in a downturn in 03? β
Nicholas Tse: "At that time, it was still patting and dragging. In fact, we are often on the shooting site, and the producer and director all say: tomorrow the film will be done in Thailand, and our CG will be done in Korea. When I set up this company, I hope to hear that one day Hong Kong Island people can be made on Hong Kong Island from beginning to end, in the early, middle and late stages. This is my wish. β
Gu Dezhao: "It's really nature. I heard that they were all happy for Lagu and the fourth brother. I hope to do this, and through healthy competition, I can be on an equal footing with the world of filmmaking. Taking Hong Kong Island movies and using them as Hong Kong Island movies, I think Thunder Wind is very worthy of encouragement, give some applause to Thunder Wind. β
The more it declines, the more it wants to hold all the power in his own hands, as big as an apocalyptic dynasty or as small as a Hong Kong Island film market.
Not to mention Hong Kong Island, neither Hollywood nor the mainland market can put all the work before, during and after a movie on the mainland.
For a market to complete its own film industrialization, it must place itself in the global industrial chain.
What kind of person would want to pinch all the processes in their own hands, wipe the upstream and downstream by themselves, and not leave a bite of food for others?
Family workshop.
It can be said that Nicholas Tse's understanding of film industrialization represents the views of most Hong Kong Island filmmakers, who still want to preserve the independent status of Hong Kong Island films, not to integrate into the global industrial chain, and to do everything on Hong Kong Island from financing to filming to production to release.
The best sound effects, best visuals, and best supporting actor in the back have nothing to do with "Lone Agent".
Zhang Yuanjun sat for almost 2 hours, and his buttocks were numb.
In less than two minutes, "Lone Agent" even the best action design was snatched away by "Ip Man 2".
Later, the publisher Li Xiaohuan was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Wu Siyuan sold another wave of misery before presenting her with the award: "Thank you for your favor of Hong Kong Island films, never complain when encountering various difficulties, and all Hong Kong Island filmmakers work together to solve difficulties, and now the Hong Kong Island film industry is very mature." Now in the face of the mainland market, we must show the spirit of hard work to create brilliance. β
Zhang Yuanjun didn't know what the other mainlanders present thought, anyway, he was very uncomfortable with these words when he heard them all night, and the Hong Kong Island filmmakers were pitting the Hong Kong Island market against the mainland market.
Zhangkou is Hong Kong Island movies and mainland movies, as if the two are incompatible.
It's already half past ten, and Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are now tired and hungry.
"I want to eat instant noodles when I go back." Liu Yifei said softly.
"Look at your worthless look." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I want to add a root intestine." β
It wasn't until 11 o'clock that Fa Ge came up to present the best director, and he joked that he was afraid that he would lose to two young people, so he awarded the director award first.
"Best Director, Xu Class."
Xu Ji stood up and shook hands and hugged his friends.
Xu Class thanked Cheng Guofu for handing over the script to him on stage, thanked the Huayi brothers for his investment, and finally thanked Shi Nansheng for his support.
There are only three awards left: Best Actor and Best Picture.
The actress was presented by the actor Xu Guanwen and the actress Hui Yinghong of the first Academy Awards, Hui Yinghong said when presenting the award: "I filmed with her 20 years ago, in Golden Harvest. β
The applause at the scene has already sounded, and among the five nominees, only Liu Jialin meets this requirement.
"Liu Jialin, "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire".
This actress should say that it is a little watery, it can be regarded as a consolation prize for Carina Lau, she is old, she has worked hard for so many years, and almost all the actresses in the same period with her have retired, give one.
It can be seen that Liu Jialin is really happy to win the award, and she laughed several times when she said thank you.
Before the award, the three hosts and Zeng Zhiwei collectively swept the five nominees, and then invited the award guests, Zhou Xun and Liu Qingyun.
Zhou Xun asked Liu Qingyun what is the secret of winning the actor, Liu Qingyun said that if an actor wants to win the actor, in addition to his acting skills, he must also be popular, the important thing is to be able to pick roles, and play some strange people, so that it is easier to win awards.
Zhou Xun took over: "But our few male protagonists today, their roles are very normal. Let's take a look at who will win Best Actor tonight. β
The finalists are:
Zhou Yanfa "Confucius".
Zhang Xueyou's "Full Moon Hennessy".
Leung Ka-fai "Bruce Lee".
Zhang Yuanjun "Lonely Agent".
Nicholas Tse "The Informant".
After the big screen was played, the live picture of the five nominees was cut, and Zhang Xueyou and Leung Ka-fai were absent for some reason.
Liu Qingyun took the envelope and joked to Zhou Xun: "Why don't I open the envelope and read Liu Qingyun, I'll take it." β
Then he opened the envelope, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhou Xunnian:
"Best Actor at the 30th Hong Kong Island Film Awardsββ"
Zhou Xun glanced at the audience and read in Mandarin: ""Lonely Agent", Zhang Yuanjun. β
The screams of the fans could not be heard at the scene, but the applause of the guests was still as warm as thunder.
Zhang Yuanjun didn't do much, Liu Yifei on the side hugged him excitedly.
Zhang Yuanjun responded to his girlfriend's hug and kissed her lightly on the face, then stood up and hugged director Lin Lingdong, screenwriter Luo Qirui, and other colleagues in the crew.
When he saw Tang Wei next to him, he also shook hands with her.
Zhang Yuanjun walked out of his seat and shook hands with Xu Jiao and Deng Chao in the other row before taking the stage to accept the award.
Zhang Yuanjun glanced at Nicholas Tse with his spare eyes, he was still expressionless, but no one could see that he was very unhappy now.
On the 30th anniversary, the local battle was actually lost to Zhang Yuanjun.
After receiving the trophy from Liu Qingyun, Zhang Yuanjun came to the microphone and said in plain: "Thank you for the Academy Award." β
The camera was given to Liu Yifei in the audience, and she burst into tears with excitement.
"Thank you Director Lin Lingdong, thank you screenwriter Ou Jian'er, thank you Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang for trusting me, thank you to the hard work of the whole crew of "Lone Agent", thank you to my alma mater Film Academy, and thank you to my theater People's Art Theater." After thanking Zhang Yuanjun for starting to be weird, "People say, it's hard to win the Cannes actor, I took it, and some people say, it's hard to win the Golden Rooster Award, I also took it, and some people say that the Hong Kong Island Academy Award is the most difficult award to win, I hesitated, because I know that the Academy Award is really too difficult to win, how many excellent actors can't win the Academy Award after acting in a lifetime, but I also got it today." Thank you, Assembly.
"Finally, I would like to thank my family, as well as my girlfriend, Miss Liu Yifei, who is sitting in the audience, for your support. Thank you. β
Zhang Yuanjun bowed and stepped down with the two award presenters.
Zhou Xun walked beside him and slapped him on the shoulder: "Niu X." β
Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "It's okay." β
As soon as Zhang Yuanjun arrived backstage, he was surrounded by reporters: "Yuanjun, is there anything you want to share with us about winning the award tonight?" β
"It's exciting, it's fun, really."
"You and Yifei have already met their parents, and you thanked her on stage for winning the award today, will you take advantage of the good luck of winning the award to get married?"
Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "I have to discuss with my parents on both sides of the marriage when I get married, and it won't be so early." β
"Now that actors' salaries are rising, will you increase your salary after you win the actor?"
"My current salary is enough to spend, and if it rises, I'm afraid that no one will ask me to film in the future." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Why do you think the Academy Awards are the hardest to win? What do you find difficult about it? β
"Because the judging criteria for each award are different, the Academy Awards have been held for 30 years, and many outstanding actors I like have failed to win awards, so I think the Academy Awards are very strict and difficult to win."
When Zhang Yuanjun returned to the front, the crew of "Fighting in the Ring" had already made a speech on stage about winning the best picture.
Zhang Yuanjun hugged his girlfriend and said with a smile: "What are you crying about?" β
"I'm excited," Liu Yifei's tears had stopped, "You have won two of the three Chinese golds, and you have also won Cannes, and I don't have any awards."
"What if you fans want to say that I don't deserve you."
"Then you have to be nicer to me in the future, you know?"
"Hmm." Liu Yifei nodded.
"Do you want to have more children for me?"
"Hmm. Well? I hate it, it's not in shape at this time. Liu Yifei burst into tears and laughed.
"Lone Agent" won two out of six and won the Best Actor Award, and Anle Pictures held a grand celebration banquet for the crew after the ceremony.
The press release of the mainland media has come out:
"Zhang Yuanjun Xiangjiang Emperor Feng, the first person in the 80th generation!"
There is no Academy Award, Zhang Yuanjun is also the first person in the 80s generation.
"Zhang Yuanjun was crowned emperor on Hong Kong Island, confessed his girlfriend on the spot, and Liu Yifei couldn't cry."
"Cannes + Golden Rooster + Golden Statue, how far is the actor of the same generation from Zhang Yuanjun."
Although Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei were about to die, at the celebration dinner, the two still fought hard and entertained the guests very warmly.
Liu Yifei was worried that he would get drunk, so she quietly replaced Zhang Yuanjun's champagne with sparkling water.
At the banquet, many directors and producers, as well as film company bosses, threw olive branches to Zhang Yuanjun, saying that they must cooperate if they have the opportunity.
Some even praised Jiang Zhiqiang's unique vision and pressed Zhang Yuanjun's treasure.
The two were busy until more than 3 o'clock in the morning before returning to the hotel, and after washing up indiscriminately, they rolled into the quilt and fell asleep.
I stayed up until 1 o'clock last night to finish writing, but today it's gone.
