Full-time actor

Chapter 476 [41] As soon as the music starts, go on stage to receive the award!

"Best Visual Effects - "Kung Fu"!"

"Best sound effects - "Kung Fu"!"

"Best Action Design - "Kung Fu", Yuan Heping!"

"..."

After a burst of singing and dancing, the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards finally kicked off.

"Kung Fu" really took the show by storm, winning three awards in a row.

Zhou Xingchi also had a slight smile on his face, but what made him happier was probably Zhang Manyu sitting next to him, chatting away.

Countless people were also there applauding.

Then, just when everyone thought "Kung Fu" could continue its killing spree, "2046" began to rise strongly.

"Don't be nervous, relax!"

Did you think it was you?

Unexpectedly, among the other people nominated together with her, there was actually the Prince of Xiangjiang?

Liu Yifei was actually very nervous, but the countless cameras here were pointed at her, which made her want to hold Chen Yu's hand, but she still didn't dare.

In addition to the best original film song, which was won by the so-so "McDull, Pineapple Oil Prince", "2046" and "Kung Fu" each took half of the seven opening awards.

A large group of the Emperor's people were sitting not far from Chen Yu.

"Kung Fu" was also shortlisted for these three awards: Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Film Music, but ultimately lost to "2046."

Zhang Xiaohui's "Peach Color"

Chen Yu looked at the nomination and glanced at Liu Yifei next to him. Liu Yifei was looked at by his eyes and was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

The name of the room group is "Qianjibian II Huadu War"

Ke Shouliang opened the award envelope and left the final suspense to Lin Zhiling beside him.

……

Huang Wanling "Death Portrait"

"The winner of the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Actor is——"

She watched the presentation guests Ke Shouliang and Lin Zhiling, who were teasing each other there.

Liu Yifei "Kung Fu"

The audience burst into applause and laughter from time to time.

Tahara "Butterfly"

What's more, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong somewhat rejects Zhou Xingchi, but Wang Jiawei is the object of admiration by countless people.

"Best New Actor!"

It didn't seem very intimate, but it made Liu Yifei purse her lips and her heartbeat accelerated. After all, the camera seemed to be focused on the two of them; but such a way of comforting could be understood between good friends.

It’s so difficult for new actors, why should they get the best actress?

"..."

"nothing!"

Awesome.

"Fuck!"

Chen Yu felt Liu Yifei's disappointment next to him, but he didn't expect that the winner would be so cold.

Lin Zhiling used her iconic cooing voice to read out the winner: "Tahara's "Butterfly"!"

The Sunglasses King also won three in a row.

"I'll help you get a movie queen next time!"

"I wipe!"

Sure enough, for the next best editing and best cinematography, "Kung Fu" and "2046" each won one; "Kung Fu" is the best editing, and "2046" is the best cinematography. It is now a tie, and they are evenly matched.

Chen Yu said to Liu Yifei beside him.

Isn’t it obvious that Cheng Long wants to support his son?
Chen Yu had forgotten who won this award in his previous life, but now he felt that what Ke Shouliang said was indeed correct; as expected, the room team member should have won the award. After all, Cheng Long was also here this time. Arrived at the scene.

Chen Yu took the initiative to step forward, took her hand and placed it on his knees.

The five nominations for Best New Actor all jumped to the big screen at this time, and Ke Shouliang was still teasing one of the nominees: "I feel like there should be no suspense about this award, right?"

Chen Yu knew that Liu Yifei was shortlisted without even looking at the nomination list carefully.

The king of sunglasses failed to make it to Cannes last year, and his home country is obviously his home ground.

Chen Yu comforted him with a smile, and Liu Yifei pinched his palm directly.

I have to say that Lin Zhiling, who is currently known as the most beautiful woman in Baodao, is still quite popular.

Everyone on the court could clearly see the smell of gunpowder. This year's Academy Awards seemed to be a competition between Wang Jiawei and Zhou Xingchi.

It’s okay if Liu Yifei didn’t get it, but she also failed to get the name of the room group.

"It's interesting!"

There doesn't seem to be anything fishy about this Academy Award, the main thing is that it can't be so obvious.

To be shortlisted is to give Cheng Long face.

People in Hong Kong still want to have some face? But not much.

"I know this actress!"

Liu Yifei whispered in Chen Yu's ear. Chen Yu looked at Tian Yuan who walked up to the stage to receive the award. He felt strange.

"She's from Wuhan. I met her at an event last year. She's a singer!"

"singer……"

Oh my god, this major student lost to an amateur?

Can you still bear it?
Liu Yifei estimated in her heart that she had suffered 10,000 points of damage and critical hits at this time.

"So choosing the right movie is still very important!"

Although Chen Yu thought so in his heart, he said: "There are also golden horses and golden roosters. I will ask Mr. Xing to report them all!"

"Okay, I know my acting skills are average, but I have been working hard. I feel that if I play a mute girl now, I will definitely be much better than then!"

I have to say that Liu Yifei's mentality is really good.

After experiencing the influence of several movies, her acting skills have indeed improved a lot, and the breath of her main lines has been strengthened a lot.

If it is true as she said, if she plays "Kung Fu" now, the Best New Actor Award may really be given to her.

But 2 years ago, it was Liu Yifei's first time acting in a movie and she really had no experience.

"Well, come on, there's still a prize!"

Best Supporting Actress, Liu Yifei was also nominated.

"Forget it!" Liu Yifei put her hand to her mouth, leaned in front of Chen Yu and said softly: "You can't even win a new actor, how do you expect to win the best supporting actress?"

Liu Yifei is indeed quite smart.

Chen Yu liked her mentality. The more she said this, the more Chen Yu didn't believe it and couldn't give her an award.

Soon, the three awards for New Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Screenplay were announced.

Sure enough, as Liu Yifei said, for the best supporting actress, Bai Ling defeated Shao Meiqi of "The Big Event", Hu Yanni of "Dragon and Phoenix", and Lu Qiaoyin of "Six Heroes" with her outstanding acting skills in "Dumplings 2" , and Liu Yifei won the final trophy.

Although the competitiveness of this award is average, Liu Yifei does not have much advantage.

As for the best screenplay, "Kung Fu" actually lost to "Mong Kok Night", which puzzled Chen Yu.

To be honest, Chen Yu really had no impression of the movie "Mongkok Night".

He had heard of "Carmen in Mongkok", "Dark Night in Mongkok"... He knew the director and the starring actors, Er Tung-sheng, Cheung Pak-chi, Ng Yan-zu... But as for the movie, it shouldn't be ranked high in Hong Kong film history, right? !

Well, "2046" also lost to him.

As for the best new director, Chen Yu is familiar with it. Huang Jingfu, who will write and direct "Zhou Chu Destroy Three Evils" in the future, has now won the crown with his debut film "Jiang Hu". This film was invested in and starred by Andy Lau.

It is a work of his Asia Rising Star Directing Project.

The presenters were actually Li Ming and Feng Xiaogang from the Four Heavenly Kings.

"OK, this award below is really exciting!"

"Best Supporting Actor Award!"

The host Zheng Yuling took the shortlist and looked at it carefully. While reading, she exclaimed: "If you don't know, you would think it is a competition for the Best Actor and Best Movie Award!"

"I think everyone must be a little impatient!"

“Without further ado, let’s invite the presenters, the famous directors Wu Yusen and Hou Hsiao-hsien!”

"Wow, this award, the presenter is so important?"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu spread his hands: "Centennial Outlook, if we want to select the top 100 most outstanding works in Chinese language history, of course these directors will come!"

Although Chinese-language films were born over 100 years ago, this year is a big review, and many directors must give face. After all, being among the best films is definitely an honor in a lifetime; and Wu Yusen and Hou Hsiao-hsien are obviously more than one. films were shortlisted.

"Bloody Heroes" and "A Better Tomorrow" are Wu Yusen's classic works.

"Across the World" is actually not bad either.

As for Hou Hsiao-hsien, that is even better. He is probably the top 3 director among Baodao directors, second only to Li Yu and Edward Yang. He is also a frequent visitor to the three major film festivals. Chen Yu liked the movie "Sad City" very much and won the Venice Film Festival. Golden Lion for Best Movie.

"Tamasen, are you filming any new movies recently?"

Hou Hsiao-hsien walked to the award podium and said to Wu Yusen beside him. Wu Yusen smiled: "Yes, we are preparing a movie about the Three Kingdoms!"

"Oh, then the investment should be quite large, right?"

"It's very big, so I haven't raised enough money yet. Please consider it!"

"Ha ha!"

The crowd clapped and laughed.

Obviously, with Wu Yusen's current international status, there is no shortage of investors; even if Chen Yu wanted to invest, he probably wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

The title of the most popular Chinese director in Hollywood is his golden signature.

The movie he was talking about was obviously "Red Cliff" which was about to be filmed and was divided into two parts.

If Chen Yu remembers correctly, the total investment was as high as 8000 million U.S. dollars, led by China Film Group, breaking the historical investment record for Chinese-language films.

In the end, the global box office was 2.51 million U.S. dollars, and the two mainland movies together did not reach 2 million. It once made Wu Yusen doubt his life, and his critical reputation was not good. If it were not for the Japanese box office explosion that saved the wave, Wu Yusen almost Late holidays are not guaranteed.

But in the subsequent "Taiwan", he was sent to the emergency room. After that, I never heard that he was planning to shoot a movie.

It is estimated that Director Wu is a little autistic.

"Okay, let's take a look at the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor in this year's Academy Awards!"

After chatting with Hou Hsiao-hsien for a while, Wu Yusen pointed at the big screen with high spirits.

A list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor immediately popped up.

Yuan Hua "Kung Fu"

Chen Yu's "Kung Fu"

Zhan Ruiwen "The Great Guest"

Ng Yen Cho's "New Police Story"

"Dumplings" by Liang Jiahui

……

No wonder Zheng Yuling said that it is comparable to the best actor. In fact, the three of them have won various awards.

Not to mention Wu Yanzu, Liang Jiahui and Chen Yu are definitely at odds with each other.

"The actor with a thousand faces!"

At present, Liang Jiahui's acting skills are among the best in Hong Kong, and his reputation as "A Thousand Faces" has spread throughout the mainland; but Chen Yu, Asia's No. 1 actor, is equally unshakable.

The Hong Kong Film Awards' winning voting is actually different from the Mainland's Golden Rooster and Taiwan's Golden Horse. It is not the same jury voting system as the three major film festivals. It is an Oscar that follows the trend, otherwise it would not all be called Golden. Like an award.

For example, for Best Screenplay, he has to go through two rounds of evaluation. In the first round, Academy Award voters select the shortlist.

Then the Screenwriters Guild, plus ten other association members, and a professional jury of 75 people voted to arrive at the final result.

However, the Screenwriters Guild has 25% of the say in this award, and the other ten associations only have 20% combined.

For the professional jury, it is 55%!

Other awards are similar, like the current Best Supporting Actor Award, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, the association where Mei Yanfang is the president, also has 25% of the voting rights.

Therefore, the determination of the Academy Awards is much more complicated than that of the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster. After all, they only require a few judges to vote.

This Academy Award mobilized more than a thousand people to vote.

It seems more fair, but of course there are tricks.

The simplest example is that Mei Yanfang said she would vote for Chen Yu. Would the Performing Artists Association dare not to vote?
Ding Ding Ding-

The tense background sound heightened the atmosphere. After all the five finalists were introduced, Hou Hsiao-hsien did not stop talking nonsense, but asked Wu Yusen next to him for his opinion: "Then let's take a look at the final list of winners?"

"Okay, who will it be?"

Wu Yusen watched Hou Xiaoxian open the envelope, and then the two of them looked at it and laughed at the same time.

"He's one of my favorite actors!"

Hou Xiaoxian smiled slightly, and Wu Yusen next to him nodded: "I like it too, and I look forward to cooperating with him!"

"Let's talk about it together?"

"it is good!"

"Chen Yu, "Kung Fu"!"
