Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 295 They are all from my family

The first Golden Needle Award winner of the original time and space was Gu Jiahui, and the presenter was Japanese singer Mayumi Mayumi.

At that time, it was not called the Golden Needle Award, but the "Highest Honor Award." It was not until the seventh session that it was renamed the "Golden Needle Award."

Now everything has changed. Nine years ago, Yang Ye came out with his song "Under the Lion Rock", shaping the spirit of Hong Kong and touching countless Hong Kong people.

The subsequent album of the same name launched Cantonese songs that were not popular at the time and became mainstream.

This album is still regarded by fans as "the number one Cantonese album" and its status is unbreakable.

With this album, Yang Ye is respected as the originator of Cantonese singing!

Later, he went to Taiwan and started the folk song movement with "Chinese Folk Songs", which directly changed the pop music ecology in Taiwan.

Later, Yang Ye and Zheng Donghan established a record company, and single-handedly helped Teresa Teng create the first Chinese music album "A Touch of Love", which sold five million copies worldwide, which is a myth.

He himself also released a film called "Martial Arts", which was a hit in Asia and its sales were second only to "A Touch of Love".

Yang Ye not only praised himself, but also discovered a large number of outstanding singers for the Chinese music scene. Tsai Chin, Fei Yuqing, Hu Huizhong, and Chen Xiuwen all became popular because of singing his songs.

Zhang Guorong, who was depressed and frustrated, switched to Poplar Records for only a year. His two albums were hits in succession, and "Monica" even won the best hit.

In addition, Yang Ye also created the first MV, which gave music a visual image. Even the European and American king Michael Jackson followed suit and released music MVs, which can be said to have led the world trend.

Although Yang Ye is still young, his contribution to the Hong Kong music scene and Chinese music can be said to be unparalleled.

When the Golden Melody Awards organizing committee came up with the "Highest Honor Award" award, Yang Ye was the first thing that came to mind.

The only concern is that Yang Ye is too young. He is not yet thirty years old and does not have enough working experience.

The Golden Melody Awards organizing committee is considering whether to give it to others first, such as Gu Jiahui, and then give it to Yang Ye in the next year.

After a long discussion, everyone felt that age was nothing in the face of Yang Ye's outstanding achievements.

Finally, he went directly to Yang Ye and asked him what he meant.

Yang Ye is not a humble person. Are you sure you want to give it to me? Then I'll continue.

However, the name "Highest Honor Award" is too big, I suggest changing it to "Golden Needle Award"!

Then he explained the meaning of the golden needle. This needle is the needle of the record player. The golden needle is of the highest quality and represents eternity.

The Golden Needle Award may not sound as straightforward as the highest honor award, but it is low-key, luxurious and connotative.

The three words "Golden Needle Award" are also in line with the custom of using gold letters in award ceremonies around the world.

The organizing committee’s eyes lit up, what a great name!

So it was unanimously agreed to name this award the "Golden Needle Award"!

The Golden Needle Award is the highest honor in the Hong Kong music scene. When celebrities in the Hong Kong music scene receive the Golden Needle Award in later generations, they will find a group of friends in the industry to come forward and have fun.

Although Yang Ye accepted the award for the first time in this time and space, he followed the tradition of later generations and brought his music friends to the stage.

Since Yang Ye's most influential album in recent years is "Martial Arts", it is reasonable for the organizing committee to find Jin Yong to present him with the award.

When Huang Zhan received the Golden Needle Award in later generations, he also asked Jin Yong to present the award.

Yang Ye took the trophy from Jin Yong and said thank you.

Then he said into the microphone: "Thank you to the organizing committee for awarding me this award, which represents the highest honor in the Hong Kong music scene. I have been in the industry for less than ten years. Some people may think that I am too young and not qualified enough.

But I will ignore these doubts. I will continue to move forward and work hard for the prosperity of the Chinese music scene. I want to tell the world that Chinese songs are the best! "

In today's world, Yang Ye can be said to be the first person to free Hong Kong and Taiwan from European and American pop music, so he is fully qualified to say such things.

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience!

Yang Ye continued: "Today is a memorable day, but I don't want to make it too solemn. I hope to be a little joyful and happy. I hope to be able to be with my lover, my brothers, and my allies. Let’s use this stage to have a happy gathering together and sing for everyone. Everyone, say, okay?”

"Okay! Okay! Ha!"

Everyone carried the sedan chair. Yang Ye is a leading figure in the Chinese entertainment industry today. Who doesn't give him face? Naturally, it’s better to do it together!

In the joyful atmosphere, the music started playing, and Yang Ye held Deng Lijun's hand and sang affectionately: "On a windy day, watch the falling flowers with a smile."

Yang Ye held Deng Lijun's hand on stage and said in public that he was celebrating with his lover. It was obvious who this lover was.

Teresa Teng also sang with tenderness and sweetness: "In the season of snow dancing, raise your glass to the moon."

Zheng Donghan and others consciously hid behind the spotlight and gave up the stage.

Just listen to the two people singing affectionately:

这样 的 心情

such a road

we walked together

I hope you can love me till the end of time

I hope you can accompany me to the end of the world

Even if I had to do it all over again, I would not change my decision

I choose you

You chose me

It's our choice!

……

After a sweet love song, Yang Ye followed up with a medley of golden songs, singing a familiar classic song with Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Cheng Donghan, Chen Xiuwen and others.

Finally, everyone sang the Hong Kong city song "Under the Lion Rock" together. Halfway through the song, everyone jumped off the stage and handed the microphone to Luo Wen, Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Guanjie, Zhen Ni and others in the guest seats.

As a result, an unprecedented chorus of Hong Kong musicians was formed.

Because of this chorus, ATV's real-time ratings were pushed to its peak. According to later statistics, the ratings when Yang Ye accepted the "Golden Needle Award" reached 86%, which was unprecedented and impossible to come by.

Many years later, this video of Hong Kong musicians singing "Under the Lion Rock" is still regarded as a supreme classic in the Chinese music scene and will be talked about by future generations of fans.

Fortunately, this awards show used the latest wireless microphones launched by Hessensel, otherwise it would really be difficult to handle.

After Yang Ye won the Golden Needle Award, there was another quarrel in society about whether he should win the award.

This is mainly divided into two groups. One group naturally believes that Yang Ye has made great contributions to the Hong Kong music scene and the development of Chinese pop music, and he deserves the award.

One group believes that Yang Ye is naturally qualified to win the award, but he is too young, not even thirty years old. What do those older musicians with outstanding achievements think?

We should wait a few years before awarding him the award. The Golden Melody Awards organizing committee is too anxious.

There is no result in quarreling, and nothing can come out of debate.

Anyway, after all the quarrels, everyone knew what the Golden Needle Award represented, which made Yang Ye's status in the entertainment industry a big step forward.

Since Yang Ye's main career is not singing, everyone used to think his songs were awesome.

But once he won the Golden Needle Award, when people talked about Yang Ye again, he was a serious celebrity in the music industry.

This is the status change brought about by the Golden Needle Award!

……

The Golden Melody Awards ended amidst the quarrels everywhere, and another entertainment industry grand ceremony, the Academy Awards, is here.

This is the second Academy Awards in this time and space. According to the original time and space, the first Academy Awards has just begun.

ATV did a great job hosting the Academy Awards last year, so this year TVB couldn't lag behind and did a great job.

Therefore, compared to the Academy Awards this year, they are simply awesome.

The actress Yang Ye walked on the red carpet with was Japanese idol Hiroko Yakushimaru. Hiroko Yakushimaru is already famous in Japan, so Kadokawa Haruki naturally hopes that she can break into the Chinese-speaking market and further expand her influence.

Some time ago, "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" starring Hiroko Yakushimaru successfully landed in Hong Kong and achieved box office results of several million Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, it is inevitable for Yang Ye to take Bozi to the red carpet at the Academy Awards to increase exposure.

Naturally, Yang Ye would not refuse this kind of effort.

Hiroko held Yang Ye's arm and waved happily to the fans while posing for reporters to take photos.

"Yang Sang, I feel that the Hong Kong Film Awards are more grand than the Japanese Academy Awards."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "It's not bad, Wanwan, I haven't congratulated you on winning the award yet!"

"Marumaru? Haha, this name is so kawaii!"

Yakushimaru Hiroko was very satisfied with the nickname Yang Ye gave her.

At the just-concluded 4th Japan Film Academy Awards, Hiroko Yakushimaru won the "Most Topic Actor Award".

Although it is not a formal award, it also proves Marumaru's popularity.

In addition, Yang Ye also won an award at this Japan Academy Award. He won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for "Sediq Bale"!

However, Yang Ye was busy with matters in Hong Kong and did not go to receive the award. Maruwan accepted it on his behalf.

"Young Master Yang, are you confident in winning the Best Actor Award?"

"It doesn't matter, everyone has a chance!"

"Mr. Yang, when you take Miss Hiroko to the red carpet with you, are you previewing the heroine of the next movie?"

"Ah, this has nothing to do with it, does it? Miss Hiroko participated in "Wushe Uprising", and it is normal for her to walk the red carpet with me! As for the next movie, since you asked, let me spoil it. There will be no heroine in the next movie. They are all tough men!”

"Wow, another war movie?"

"Keep it secret!"

After Yang Ye finished speaking, he took Wanwan's little hand and slipped away.

……

Liu Xiaoqing followed Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun onto the red carpet, but now reporters and audiences didn't know them at all, so no one paid attention to them.

Despite this, Liu Xiaoqing still posed in her best pose for people to take pictures, although no one took pictures of her.

In front of the mainland trio are Li Lianjie and Hui Yinghong from the "Sword Rain" crew. Although they are newcomers, their fame has increased dramatically due to the popularity of "Sword Rain" last year. They were surrounded by a large number of reporters and took photos desperately.

From time to time, reporters asked them various questions. Jet Li's Cantonese is still a bit lame, so Hui Yinghong has been helping him answer questions very carefully, which makes Jet Li very grateful.

Liu Xiaoqing looked at them with some envy, and suddenly said: "That gay man seems to be from the mainland, right? I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Beijing Film Studio was going to co-produce the movie "Book of Swords" with Jade Bird Company. Wang Yang naturally knew Jet Li. He said: "Yes, he is from the Beijing Wushu Team. He has won the National Games championship and has been on TV. You It’s not surprising to have seen him. Our factory’s next movie, Mr. Jin Yong’s “The Book of Swords and Enmities”, has started filming, and he has been selected as the leading actor.”

Speaking of this, Wang Yang said: "Xiao Qing, there is a character named Luo Bing in this movie. How about you play it?"

Liu Xiaoqing said: "Huh? I don't have a schedule. The co-production company is going to film "The Legend of Cixi" directed by Li Hanxiang, and I have been cast to play Cixi. Didn't you agree?"

Co-production company is the abbreviation of China Film Co-production Company. This company was established in 1979 and is responsible for co-production of films with foreign countries.

The co-production company is not well-known, but in fact many well-known movies in later generations were shot by the co-production company.

For example, Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor", Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", Zhou Xingchi's "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance"...

Of course, there are also many people who will bypass co-production companies and directly cooperate with mainland film studios. For example, Wu Siyuan directly co-produced "The Adventures of Panda" with Emei Film Studio.

This movie cost very little to make, but it sold 800 million yen at the box office in Japan, and Wu Siyuan made a fortune.

As for "The Legend of Cixi" mentioned by Liu Xiaoqing, it is actually the collective name of five films: "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", "Listen Behind the Curtain", "Tongzhi Zhongxing", "Reform" and "Eight-Power Allied Forces". It is the ambitious work of the great director Li Hanxiang .

However, in the end, only two films, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain", were completed and then stopped.

Wang Yang said: "Luo Bing is just a minor character, with only a few scenes. When the time comes, you can just help out and make a cameo. It won't delay your filming of "The Legend of Cixi"."

Liu Xiaoqing had no choice but to say: "Okay then!"

She actually wanted to save some time and complete the task assigned to her by Yang Ye.

……

After a burst of singing and dancing, the Academy Awards finally began.

TVB's gold medal emcee He Shouxin said: "Let us invite last year's best newcomer Chen Baiqiang to come on stage to announce this year's best newcomer and award the award!"

When everyone heard it, it was interesting. Last year's best newcomer presented an award to this year's best newcomer.

Chen Baiqiang walked up to the stage happily and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Danny Chen Baiqiang! It is an honor to present awards to this year's newcomers on behalf of the last year's newcomers. I think this is a good inheritance, not much gossip. Said, first let's see who's nominated, look at the big screen."

“Wow, the competition is so fierce this year!”

Five nominees appeared on the big screen, and three of them were Zhong Chuhong, Jet Li, and Liu Hua.

Among these three, Zhong Chuhong and Li Lianjie were both the newcomer kings who emerged last year and are undisputed.

Liu Hua had acted in "ET" a long time ago, but after filming that movie, he only made a cameo appearance in "The Terminator". He did not appear again until last year's "The Story of Hu Yue" .

"The Story of Hu Yue" was filmed by Yang Ye and asked Liu Hua to replace Zhou Runfa. It was full of expectations. This is Liu Hua's third film. According to the rules, he is still a newcomer.

Many people in later generations said that Liu Hua's acting skills were not good, but in fact, Liu Hua was nominated for Best Newcomer for his first movie in "Into the Wrath of the Sea".

It's not that he has no acting skills, it's just that he's gone down the road of showing off.

Yang Ye looked at the names of the three of them and wanted to laugh a little. They are all from my family, so whoever wins the prize is fine!

Although other companies are a little unhappy, the newcomers who appeared last year are indeed the strongest among the three, there is no dispute!

"The winner of the second Hong Kong Film Awards is...Zhong Chuhong!"

"Wow!" Zhong Chuhong was stunned.

Li Lianjie, who was sitting not far away, couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard that he had lost the election. Hui Yinghong comforted him: "There will be a chance next time!"

Li Lianjie nodded.

Liu Hua was in the same crew as Zhong Chuhong. He was also very disappointed. He couldn't get it this time and would have no chance in the future.

However, he still congratulated Zhong Chuhong in a gentlemanly manner.

"Congratulations, Ah Hong!"

"Thank you Andy!"

Zhong Chuhong happily celebrated with Xu Anhua and Liu Hua, and then went up to the stage to receive the award. As soon as she walked up the steps, she suddenly heard an "ouch".

My feet are sprained!
