At half past five in the afternoon, at the Xiangjiang Cultural Center, invited stars have arrived one after another.

Because of Zhang Guorong's death, this year's Academy Awards canceled the off-site interview session, but the red carpet show was still retained.

Since noon, it has been raining lightly, which has made people's already heavy mood a little heavier.

A large number of fans and reporters gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and many people held up posters of Zhang Guorong in their hands to remember.

At six o'clock, Zhang Chu arrived, but this time he didn't ride a bicycle again, but he was still wearing a casual T-shirt of Hongxing Sports, but he deliberately chose a black one.

As soon as Fang appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of reporters on both sides, raised his camera, and flashed at him.

Zhang Chu had a serious expression, waved his hand to the sides, then hung his head and quickened his pace.

He left his name on the signature wall, and then walked into the venue under the guidance of the staff.

At this year's Academy Awards, a total of three films participated by Zhang Chu were shortlisted for the competition unit.

They are "Hurricane Rescue 2", which won Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Action Design.

There is also "Infernal Affairs", which also has ten nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.

Then there is "Hero", which has just been painted not long ago and is still being released in North America.

"Hero" has now earned more than $200 million at the box office around the world, and this number will increase further when the box office statistics in North America are released.

However, at this Academy Awards, most of the nominations for "Hero" are technical, and they will also compete for best action design with "Hurricane Rescue 2".

After entering the venue, Zhang Chu did not go to the two camps of "Infernal Affairs" and "Heroes", but sat on the side of "Hurricane Rescue 2".

After all, this movie is what really belongs to him.

It's a pity that even if you win the award today, as the starring role of "Hurricane Rescue 2", there is not much hope.

A month before the opening of the Xiangjiang Film Awards, the media has begun to build momentum for "Infernal Affairs", and if you think about it, you know that "Infernal Affairs" is destined to be the biggest winner at today's awards ceremony.

Zhang Ziyi didn't come, on the side of "Hurricane Rescue 2", there are only director Du Qifeng, his own producer Xiang Huaqiang, and Zhang Jiahui, who won the Best Supporting Actor.

In the past, the Academy Awards ceremony started with a song and dance performance, but today it was all cancelled.

The music sounded, and Zhang Jiahui next to him said that this song was Zhang Guorong's famous song "The Wind Continues to Blow".

Subsequently, Zeng Zhiwei, who had cooperated with Zhang Chu in "Infernal Affairs", stepped onto the stage.

Dressed in a black suit with a solemn expression, he used to be the most aware of the active atmosphere, but today he feels sad from the moment he comes on stage.

Slowly walked to the center of the stage, bowed deeply to the audience, and did not get up for a long time.

After a long time, Zeng Zhiwei straightened up, his eyes were red, and he took a deep breath before speaking.

"A few days ago, a good friend in the entertainment industry left us, and suddenly felt that the world was so gloomy and I didn't want to do anything, so a few days ago, I sent a letter to Mr. Zhang Tongzu, chairman of the film conference, and wanted to resign as the host of the conference."

Accompanied by Zeng Zhiwei's speech, the big screen at the scene played stills of Zhang Guorong before his death.

Zhang Guorong in the photo is smiling very brightly, and his eyes are full of love for life.

It is hard to imagine that such a person who loves life would eventually choose to die in an almost tragic way because of the torment of depression.

Zhang Jiahui, who was sitting beside him, couldn't hold back his tears, and he kept telling Zhang Chu the story of him and Zhang Guorong just now.

When Zhang Jiahui's career fell into the lowest point and his life was the darkest, Zhang Guorong took the initiative to call him, give him encouragement, and help him contact work.

"My brother is really a very nice person."

Zeng Zhiwei's speech was not long.

"Today, I have a few good friends who want to use a song to give to a friend who just left us, a friend we love, a singer, our eternal actor, brother Zhang Guorong."

The music sounded again, and as Zeng Zhiwei exited, four figures appeared on the stage.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Xiangjiang.

There are not many opportunities for them to perform on the same stage, after all, they are all leaders in the same field, and the practice of the king not seeing the king makes their cooperation even more precious.

Today, the four of them brought another famous song by Zhang Guorong "Love of the Year".

At the end of the singing, the applause at the scene lasted for a long time.

Zhang Chu's mood suddenly became a little heavy, he was used to seeing life and death.

All kinds of tragic human tragedies have already made his heart numb.

But at this moment, he is really feeling sorry for Zhang Guorong.

It's hard to imagine what Zhang Guorong was thinking at the moment when he chose to say goodbye.

If a person is not even afraid of death, why should he be afraid of living.

The remembrance of Zhang Guorong came to an end, and the award ceremony began.

First up were a number of technical awards, including Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, and Best Original Film Music, all of which went to the film "Hero".

It was not far away, and Zhang Chu could see that although Zhang Yimou tried to restrain himself, he still couldn't hide his joy.

Every winner who took the stage to receive the award mentioned Zhang Guorong's name in his speech.

In this way, we will honor the memory of a generation of superstars.

The best original movie song was won by "Infernal Affairs", and the singer of the song took the stage to accept the award.

At the beginning, Liu Weiqiang originally wanted Zhang Chu and Liu Dehua to sing together, but Zhang Chu sternly refused.

People are self-aware, let Zhang Chu sing?

Forget it!

It might be easier to let him kill.

Next up is another nomination for Zhang Chu – Best Action Design.

The biggest competitor is none other than Cheng Xiaodong, who represents "Hero".

"The winner of the Best Action Design at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards was ......"

"Cheng Xiaodong, "Hero"."

As soon as the award presenters finished announcing the results, Du Qifeng on the other side raised his hand and patted Zhang Chu's arm to show comfort.

Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing, what's so sad about this, in terms of exquisite action design, "Hero" is indeed better than the "Hurricane Rescue" series.

"Thank you very much."

Cheng Xiaodong took the trophy and began his acceptance speech.

"Actually, there should be two people on stage with me to receive the award today, one is Mr. Li Lianjie, and the other is sitting in the audience at the moment, Mr. Zhang Chu."

"Audiences who have watched "Hero" believe that they will be deeply impressed by the chess hall battle at the beginning of the movie, which was not actually designed by me, but was completed by Li Lianjie and Zhang Chu."

It's no secret about this, during the release of "Hero", Cheng Xiaodong mentioned it many times in media interviews.

"Thank you to director Zhang Yimou, thank you to every creator of "Hero", especially Li Lianjie and Zhang Chu, I hope to have the opportunity to work together again, and finally, I cherish the memory of my brother Mr. Zhang Guorong, and wish him all the best in heaven."

When he was about to step down, Cheng Xiaodong also raised his glass and signaled to Zhang Chu.

Next, the trophies were distributed one by one, and "Hurricane Rescue 2" also won a technical award for best editing.

This time, there will not be an embarrassing situation like last time, where a lot of nominations were made, but in the end, nothing was received.

Finally, after the best newcomer was won by Yuan Liqi, the highlight of the award ceremony came.

First of all, Best Supporting Actress, Zhang Ziyi was also nominated for Ruyue in "Hero".

However, everyone in the circle knows that because of the original grape incident, Zhang Ziyi is particularly unpopular in the Hong Kong circle.

Her hope of winning the award can be said to be very small, so Zhang Ziyi didn't come at all, and while the crew of "Ambush on All Sides" was on vacation, they went to Milan to participate in Fashion Week.

Sure enough, the final result was not unexpected, Liu Ruoying won this award with the movie "Double Pupils".

followed by Best Supporting Actor, the competition is equally fierce, in addition to Zhang Jiahui, there are also Huang and Zeng Zhiwei of "Infernal Affairs", and the other two nominations are also Huang, which can be described as three insurances.

Although Zhang Jiahui did not have much expectations, when it came time to announce the results, he was still very nervous.

"Would love to win this award?"

Zhang Jiahui stared at the facial expressions of the award presenters, as if he wanted to analyze the results in them.

"Of course, who doesn't want to win a prize!"

Winning the award means that he is recognized, and there will be more performance opportunities in the future, and no one will say that he eats soft rice.

Zhang Jiahui's girlfriend is Kwan Yonghe, the first sister of TVB, Zhang Jiahui and Kwan Yonghe are together, and they are really high.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards was ......"

"Zhang Jiahui, "Hurricane Rescue 2".

The result was announced, and Huang was obviously very disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mood and applauded with a smile.

On the contrary, Zhang Jiahui, the main owner, did not react for a long time.

"It's you!"

Belch?

was reminded by Zhang Chu, Zhang Jiahui reacted, and then jumped up, and after hugging Zhang Chu and others to celebrate, he trotted all the way to the stage.

After debuting for so long, I finally gained something.

However, Zhang Jiahui deserved this award.

Xiao Yan's friend he played in "Hurricane Rescue 2", when the conspiracy was finally exposed, he was pressed on the table by Zhang Chu, and the roar with a hideous face couldn't be played by Zhang Chu.

"Why do I say I do? I don't want my wife to live a hard life with me, I don't want my son to be laughed at by his classmates as a North Yankee, I want to live a good life, I want to be a good person, is it wrong? Is there something wrong? ”

To this day, Zhang Chu still remembers this scene vividly.

Seeing Zhang Jiahui overjoyed, he walked from the award presenter to the front of the stage to deliver a speech.

Zhang Chu didn't listen carefully to what he said, he was silently counting in his heart at this time, and it was about to reach the climax of the award ceremony.

The first award was given to Best Actress.
