After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 536: Asking for a hammer and getting a hammer, 13 hits out of 0, too brutal!

Best Dressed Award: Charcoal Liu Qingyun, Dragon Fruit Shu Qi.

The Best Action Design Award was unsurprisingly won by Dragon Gate Flying Daggers.

Best Photography Award, Martial Arts.

Best Editing Award, Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate.

Then came the Lifetime Achievement Award. Xu Ke came on stage to present the award, which was finally given to Zhou Huimin's partner, Ni Kuang.

The awards before the Academy Awards are all technical awards, which is a bit boring.

After the Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design awards were presented, the performances began.

The first to take the stage was Ladybird pianist Li Yundi.

Li Yundi performed Chopin's "Nocturne" live to pay tribute to the Hong Kong filmmakers who bid farewell in the past year.

Kwong Kwan-neng, Chan Yiu-lam, Xue Chun-wei, Xiao Zhili, Fong Fei-fei, Leung Hon-wai, So Siu-tong, Hui Koon-ying, Hong Wei, Wong Kam-tuan, Wang Wei... Some of them are big stars, some are unknown script supervisors or even costume assistants, and the Academy Awards treats them all equally.

This commemorative tribute session is quite meaningful.

After Li Yundi left the stage, COCO came up.

I was too serious and finally got severely tricked by Blue TV.

I never expected that The Voice was so dark.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

This front is too slow.

The whole show was performed with the help of guests’ jokes. The technical award ceremony was moved to 10:30 and it hasn’t ended yet.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Shaohong, Hou Xiaoxian and Wu Siyuan presented the Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Awards.

The five films are "You Are the One", "The Flowers of War", "If You Are the One 2", "Your Name" and "Seediq Bale".

The final winners were those years.

Give the camera to yourself.

Li Mingyang clapped his hands, looking calm and smiling.

It doesn’t matter whether he gets it or not, he just wants to see Jiang Wen act like a clown, Zuoshandiao don’t get slapped in the face, and Yinghuang get beaten up!

After Jiubadao and others went down.

This is the highlight of today, the Best Director Award!

The award was presented by Chen Kexin!
"Let's see which unlucky guy gets nominated for Best Director." Chen Kexin said jokingly.

The nominees include Ann Hui's "A Simple Life", Johnnie To's "Overheard", Tsui Hark's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Li Mingyang's "Your Name", and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly".

Chen Kexin opened the envelope. "The Best Director of the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards is, as far as I know, the only exception, Director Xu Anhua."

After Chen Kexin finished speaking, she applauded, screams came from the audience, and Yu Dong's eyes narrowed with laughter.

Many people are laughing.

Li Mingyang was laughing, Jiang Wen was laughing, everyone was laughing.

We still don’t know how many people are laughing at the joke and how many are sincere!

Live broadcast, we are all public figures, and acting is the most important part of our lives.

Some things happen later... like settling scores later.

Jiang Wen missed the Best Director award, and Li Mingyang felt very happy.

But some things are not over yet.

The Best Actress award was won by Deanie Ip.

Next is the last highlight of the night, the Best Actor award.

After Xu Anhua left the stage, Liu Jialing and Sandra Ng presented the Best Actor awards.

Wu Junru smiled and said: "Many people asked me to support Andy Lau, but I said I had no choice! Everyone in Hong Kong knows that I like Andy Lau. I dream about him in my dreams. He is so handsome and pretty."

Liu Jialing said that although Liu Dehua is very outstanding, other nominees are also very outstanding, such as Jiang Wen and Ge You.

Wu Junru never stops making shocking remarks, saying: "I like Andy Lau the most, he can still get someone pregnant at such an old age."

This made Liu Dehua very embarrassed.

This famous scene is still talked about by people even more than ten years later!

Seeing this, Liu Jialing quickly held Wu Junru's hand and said, "Don't be so excited."

Eric Tsang also added, "Then Chen Kexin is not bad either!"

Maybe she was too excited, Sandra Ng said that Chen Kexin is now heartless and powerless, her hair has turned white, and she is not as pretty as Andy Lau.

Chen Kexin was made to laugh awkwardly in the audience.

Liu Jialing tried to make up for it again, saying in a serious face that Wu Junru was crazy because Wu Junru had only filmed with Liu Dehua, and had never filmed with Jiang Wen and Liu Qingyun.

Unexpectedly, Junru Wu did not give up. She smiled and opened the photo album in her hand to teach the audience how to see who would win the award.

After that, he pointed at Andy Lau's photo and said, "Those who support Andy Lau, please clap your hands."

There was applause at the scene, and Li Mingyang clapped the most enthusiastically.

Then Wu Junru said: "Those who support Liu Qingyun, please clap your hands."

Liu Jialing quickly said, "Those who support Jiang Wen, please clap your hands."

From the moment the Best Director award ceremony began, the entire Academy Awards entered a strange atmosphere.

You can tell something from the choice of award presenters.

The Best Director award presenter is Chen Kexin, who is a mainstay of the Hong Kong entertainment industry and also the main force behind the show.

That is to say, since 12, Chen Kexin has been inseparable from the Hong Kong circle and entered the Shanghai circle.

Not long after, in 13, with his Chinese partner, he became the first director in Chinese-language history to win three major awards!

He is also the only director to have won the triple gold medal in both the double circle and the grand slam.

The presenter of the Best Actor award was also quite interesting.

Wu Junru is Chen Kexin's wife. People in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau all know that she is from the mainland because she won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for four consecutive years.

Criticizing mainland actresses.

Liu Jialing is now in both the Hong Kong and Beijing circles, and often supports official platforms.

Later on, Junru Wu mentioned that Ge You did not come to the Academy Awards.

Liu Jialing could only try to make up for it, saying that Ge You was afraid of flying.

Jiang Wen in the audience looked very embarrassed and smiled reluctantly.

In the end, after Sandra Ng read the letter and almost explicitly asked for a kiss, Andy Lau won the Best Actor award at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards.

Li Mingyang looked at Jiang Wen on the big screen. From beginning to end, he pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, like a wooden man.

Liu Qingyun and Liu Dehua looked at each other and smiled happily.

Li Mingyang also laughed.

A sincere smile!

The final award is Best Picture.

The award was presented by Liang Jiahui, who once went to the mainland to film and was banned in Taiwan.

The nominees include "A Simple Life," "Overheard," "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," "Overheard 2," and "Let the Bullets Fly."

Let the Bullets Fly is the only mainland film that should, according to common sense, appear in the Best Cross-Strait Chinese-language Film category, rather than the Best Film category.

Unsurprisingly, Tao Jie won the Best Picture award.

……

At 11:40 pm, the Academy Awards came to a successful conclusion.

But there is still a press conference backstage.

Jiang Wen had no intention of participating and just left.

As a good younger brother, Li Mingyang also followed Jiang Wen and sat in the same car to comfort Jiang Wen.

All the way to the Peninsula Hotel, Jiang Wen didn't say a word. He puffed on his cigar, looking extremely lonely.

When we walked into the Peninsula Hotel, the staff in the lobby were removing the bright red ribbons. The celebration party could not be held.

All the people waiting in the hotel looked very bad.

When we arrived at the restaurant on the third floor, it was a bit dead silent. Zuoshandiao was sitting alone at a table, drinking wine dejectedly.

As soon as Jiang Wen saw Zuoshandiao, he could no longer suppress his indignation, but he said nothing.

He and Yinghuang are partners, and he was afraid that if he said too much, Yinghuang would suffer along with the Hong Kong circle.

A grand plan was planned for three years, but in the end it ended in nothing.

How many three years are there in a lifetime?

"Go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much. You don't need to take pictures of that special identity." Zuoshandiao picked up the wine glass and said calmly.

"okay."

Jiang Wen bumped into Zuoshandiao and left. He noticed his younger brother Li Mingyang and waved to him quickly, wanting to have a good talk with him.

Upon seeing this, Li Mingyang ran over like a brother.

"Brother, let's find a place and have a good drink. These bastards are such bastards."

"That's right. It's obvious that they treat you like a clown. You didn't get any of the thirteen nominations, and they didn't even give me a single technical award."

Jiang Wen waved his hands and didn't want to talk about it here.

Li Mingyang quickly followed to watch the show.

The two found an empty private room, drank some wine and ate some food.

Jiang Wen slammed the table and glared, cursing and insulting the Hong Kong circle from beginning to end.

He got so excited about cursing that he suddenly covered his stomach and rolled on the ground, confusing Li Mingyang.

He hurried out to call for help and sent Jiang Wen to the hospital.

After a checkup at the hospital, it turned out that Brother Wen was really strong. He had taken two W pills the night before, and took stimulants when attending the Academy Awards last night. He also drank too much and the side effects came.

When Zuoshandiao knew about this, his eyes became frighteningly cold.

At about 3:00 in the morning, Li Mingyang drove Zuoshan Diao back to the hotel. Li Mingyang thought Zuoshan Diao would say something to him, but he didn't. Zuoshan Diao smoked and looked out the window, deep as the abyss, and no one knew what he wanted to do.

In short... the Hong Kong entertainment industry is in big trouble!

When he praised Jiang Wen yesterday, no one said anything discouraging. Zuoshandiao nodded meaningfully, as if praising him for his change.

Jiang Wen was even more confident that he could win the Best Director Award.

But the result came out! Slap in the face!
The Academy Awards don’t give any face at all!

Although the audit was changed this year, no one knows the number of votes until the last minute.

But this result would not be possible without the Academy Award board and no one turning against it.

The Oscars are one vote each. Every vote has the same weight.

This is not the case with the Academy Awards. The second round consists of 55 professional judges, and their votes account for 55% and basically determine the final result.

For example, among these 55 people, 51 support nominee A, so A is % sure to win the award.

All voters from other departments, maybe 300-400 people, even if all of them support B, B can only get 45%.

13 nominations and 0 hits, the whole army was wiped out.

Worse than the previous life.

The Hong Kong circle didn’t take Jiang Wen seriously, nor did they take Zuoshandiao seriously, but they took the above people seriously!
The 31st Academy Awards came to a successful conclusion, but the topic about this year's Academy Awards has just begun.

The next day, April 4, all the entertainment news in Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong was dominated by Jiang Wen and Tao Jie.

Tao Jie took five cities in a row.

Jiang Wen was nominated 13 times but got no win, becoming the biggest clown in the history of the Academy Awards.

For a time, the Battle of the Century lost its popularity in the mainland.

Countless netizens spoke up for Jiang Wen. Eight out of ten trending searches on Weibo were about Jiang Wen, far ahead of the others.

Li Mingyang rented a room on the third floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, which is opposite the Peninsula Hotel and close to the street. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would lean on the window, looking across with a telescope to observe who was looking for the mountain eagle.

After observing for a whole morning, I found that many people were wrapped too tightly and I could only recognize the big winner, Xu Anhua.

Li Mingyang was enjoying the show, but who knew that the fire would burn himself in the afternoon.

He was called by Zuoshandiao to the Peninsula Hotel to serve as an errand boy!

Running errands?

I am a big director after all, who would run errands for you?

However, after running errands once, Li Mingyang felt that this job was awesome!

He went out to pick someone up in Zuoshandiao's room and was able to eavesdrop.

Li Mingyang had seen many domineering mountain eagles and amiable mountain eagles, but this was the first time he had seen a venomous mountain eagle.

Anyone who sees it feels terrified.

The eve of a storm is especially quiet.

Li Mingyang enjoyed watching the joke very much, but expressing his opinions publicly only added fuel to the fire.

dare not.

This incident is too big.

Just when undercurrents were surging and all parties were plotting something, a man really jumped out and blasted the Academy Awards!
It was none other than Er Dongshen.

He posted directly on Weibo!

Since opening his Weibo account, Er Dongshen has been showing photos and interacting with netizens in a funny way, but has never talked about movies. His Weibo signature has always been "Only talk about diving, not movies."

But this time, he made an exception and talked about movies, saying that he was indeed biased when he was the vice chairman of the Academy Awards in the past, but this time he surprised himself: "I'm making an exception and talking about movies! I have been in the Academy Awards selection committee (not a judge, just reviewing and improving election affairs), and I have also been the vice chairman. I have always been supportive and tolerant of this award, even biased. But after this, I had some doubts in my heart..."

Afterwards, Er Dongsheng said bluntly: "If this award only has emotion but loses professionalism, what will it become? ... The board members must think deeply!"

Netizens speculated that Er Dongshen's remarks were meant to speak up for his brother Qin Pei.

Only people in the circle know!
This is saving!
As the president of the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, Er Dongshen's words still carry a lot of weight.

Of course, saying this is a bit like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither of you is a good person.

But it was precisely his words and his stance.

In the future, Hong Kong films will be dead, and the new generation of directors and actors from the mainland will become the absolute protagonists.

When faced with the ridicule from new directors and capitalist Guo Xiaosi, he can still stand up to it.

Guo Xiaosi, who was at the peak of his career, was beaten to the point where he lost his way and was semi-banned! He almost quit the entertainment industry!
Few people in the Hong Kong circle have this ability.

Even Zeng Aizi, Hong Jinbao and Xu Ke are no match for Guo Xiaosi.

But Er Dongshen can do it.

He has endured too much and suffered too much, and has been treated as a nobody for a long time, but what the higher-ups need most is someone like him who can take responsibility.

Rather than lip service.

Guo Xiaosi never dreamed that he would be on a show and make a fool of himself, and be semi-banned...

There's no use crying...

Li Mingyang knew that Er Dongshen would post on Weibo.

But I didn't expect him to send it so quickly and efficiently!
Although Hong Kong as a whole is a bit weird, some people are still worthy of admiration!
……

On April 4, early in the morning, Li Mingyang and Shishi did morning exercises for an hour, and then Shishi went back to the mainland to run announcements and make money.

He continued to run errands at the Peninsula Hotel. When he arrived, he found that Wang Changtian and Wang Dajun had also become errand runners.

Wang Shuo and Xu Dahahua are both here.

Jiang Wen was discharged from the hospital and stayed with Zuoshandiao.

Then he had no chance to sit in on the trial and could only look around the hotel.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, someone from Yinghuang finally showed up.

I don’t know how the conversation went, but Boss Ying left with a sigh.

Before leaving, she gave him a vicious look.

At that moment, Li Mingyang knew that Yinghuang would not let him go.

Li Mingyang doesn't care.

Even without him.

The ending is also destined!
This is the last pride of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. At the same time, starting from this year's Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has completely turned the Golden Horse Awards into a wild award for its own entertainment.

13 hits out of 0, how could they do that!
This is so brutal!
No shame at all!

Stand aside...

Now I'm standing aside!
If you want to eat in the Mainland, now is your last chance.

The anger of the mountain eagle is no joke!
……

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes; where there are interests, there will be struggles.

The land of Yinghuang is ruined.

Xiaomi acquired new land, a few kilometers away from Xixi Science and Technology Island, in the city center.

The development plan for that piece of land was cancelled by the higher authorities.

"So much has been built, and you just cancel it?" Li Mingyang asked in surprise.

"The government will provide a guarantee." Wang Changtian sighed and said meaningfully, "Isn't this exactly what you want?"

"I can't rest until I'm uncertain."

"It's settled."

"It's a done deal? They built it well, and invested real money in it, but now they just give it up. How is Hangzhou going to develop in the future?"

Wang Changtian unscrewed the thermos cup, looked back, and said in a deep voice: "In fact, this project has been buried for a long time, but we just turned a blind eye to it."

"What thunder?"

"Foreign-invested enterprises operating cultural and entertainment-related matters are classified as industries subject to foreign investment restrictions."

"What Disney said..."

"Why do you think Disney is in Shanghai?"

Li Mingyang tilted his head and thought about it. It was indeed true. The Magic City was like, "If it is not open, how can I do business?"

Although this matter has been decided, the actual announcement will not be until May next year.

Yuhang and Yinghuang’s external statement was that they had friendly negotiations and the two parties formally signed a land termination contract.

Why is the land being reclaimed?
The reason is that foreign-invested enterprises operating cultural and entertainment-related matters belong to industries restricted by foreign investment, which makes it impossible for new companies to successfully complete registration and pay land transfer fees on schedule.

Restrictions on the entertainment industry in the guidance catalogue include: the production of radio and television programs and films; the construction and operation of cinemas; the construction and operation of large theme parks; performance agencies; and the operation of entertainment venues.

Yinghuang Film and Television Cultural Village encountered the policy red line for the construction of large-scale theme parks and was rejected during the approval process.

This is for external purposes, and those who understand will understand.

This is actually a question of the government’s attitude.

CJ's CGV Cinemas is a good example.

Foreign cinema chains are speeding up in the country...leaving behind their old partners and going it alone.

CJ's skills are pretty awesome.

Wanda’s goal in CJ is to use technology.

In addition to cinemas, CGV is also a film projection technology manufacturer.

For example, Starium (independently developed digital giant screen), ScreenX (independently developed main screen + left and right wall multi-screen projection system), 4D plex and other new screen technologies. CGV has always been moving relatively fast in the application of new technologies.

Yuhang District and Yinghuang negotiated amicably and recovered the land, but nothing was finalized.

Adjust the plan, continue to push forward, and indirectly turn it into domestic capital...but these are all superficial.

As early as 12, April 4th was a foregone conclusion.

……

Worth the trip! Ask for a hammer and you'll get it!
It destroyed other people's jobs and ruined the dreams of Yinghuang and Huayi.

It’s worth coming to Hong Kong, it’s totally worth it.

Li Mingyang said goodbye to Wang Changtian, boarded the plane contentedly, and returned to Korea to continue developing his streaming media empire!
