The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 698 The Big Winner

"Thank you, Uncle Tianlin, thank you to the screenwriter Wang Jing, thank you to Mr. Zhou Runfa who played opposite me, and thank you to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the crew. Without your help, I would not have received this award." Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "Once So many people criticized me for my lack of acting skills, I was very angry, but now that I have won this award, I don’t need to be surprised by what you say.”

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she triumphantly held the trophy and left the stage. Xu Guanwu smiled, "Now the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor are presented. The finalists are Xu Guanwen, "The Rich and Noble World", Zhou Runfa, "Love in a Fallen City" , Wu Yaohan, "Long Weiwei", Hong Jingbao, "Gold and Jade Mantang."

For the Best Actor award, among the four candidates, Xu took up three, which is enough to show that Xu's strength should not be underestimated.After Xu Guanwu finished reading, there was another commotion in the audience, and he was probably surprised that Xu was able to be shortlisted by so many people.

Then Zhong Chuhong opened the winner's card, and then announced in surprise, "The best actor of the first Hong Kong Film Awards, the winner is Xu Guanwen, "The Rich and Noble World". Congratulations to Mr. Xu Guanwen!"

After Zhong Chuhong finished announcing, the audience immediately burst into applause.Xu Guanwu noticed that Zhou Runfa and Hong Jingbao, who were also shortlisted at the same time, had a look of disappointment across their faces.It's no wonder they are, a rookie, a warrior, is in urgent need of awards.In comparison, Xu Guanwen's title of the king of comedy, Sneaky, is actually much louder than the so-called Best Actor at the Academy Awards.

Xu Guanwen then came to the stage to accept the award, and hugged Xu Guanwu affectionately. "Congratulations, brother." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Xu Guanwen patted his second brother on the shoulder excitedly, and then held the award in his hands, "I'm very happy to get this award, and it's really surprising to be honest, because the actors who were shortlisted in the same period are all good. Ah, Ah Han, they are all actors with very good acting skills. Just because I won this award, it doesn’t mean that my acting skills are much better than theirs. It’s just that the three of them respect me because I’m older. After winning this award , I feel more pressure on my body, and I will definitely make funnier movies for everyone in the future. Thank you."

What Xu Guanwen said made the audience applaud and applaud for his demeanor, and Xu Guanwu also applauded for his elder brother.Afterwards, Xu Guanwu and Zhong Chuhong accompanied the elder brother Xu Guanwen to leave the stage, but when the music sounded, it was Ye Zhentang who sang the song.

After a song was sung, it was time for the Best Director award, which was presented by Ms. Fang Yihua and Director Chu Yuan.Director Chu Yuan was also the director of the Shaw Brothers before, and was later invited by Xu Guanwu to the Xu Family to develop, and became popular again by adapting and filming Gu Long's martial arts novels.With the gradual decline of fantasy martial arts movies in the past two years, Chu Yuan did not feel depressed, but started to shoot literary romance movies again.

This is his old profession, and it is also his favorite movie genre. Although the box office is not as popular as the previous fantasy martial arts movies, the word of mouth is much stronger.Director Chu Yuan also rejuvenated the third spring in his artistic life.

Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan are also old acquaintances. Before that, Chu Yuan often had dinner with Mr. Shao Yifu and discussed script issues together.Fang Yihua is also present most of the time, and is responsible for calculating the cost of the film.Often it was Chu Yuan who proposed a script, but Fang Yihua rejected the script on the grounds that the capital investment was too high, which caused Chu Yuan to almost collapse.

Therefore, presenting the best director award to Fang Yihua, Chu Yuan is actually not in a very good mood, but he has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and the general scenes are still passable.Chu Yuan read the list of finalists. The finalists were Wang Tianlin, "Love in a Fallen City", Hong Jingbao, "A Mansion of Gold and Jade", Tang Jiming, "Death of Xiyingpan", and Xu Ke's "Hell Without Doors".

Fang Yihua received the list of winners, but her expression was not very good.Because among the four nominees for best director, two are from Xu, one is from Golden Harvest, and the other is from Century Film Company.Shaw Brothers has so many directors, but none of them are shortlisted.Now look at letting her present the best director award, it can't be said that it is an honor or a humiliation.

Fang Yihua opened the card tremblingly, then settled down, took a deep breath, and then read, "The winner of the first Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director is Wang Tianlin, "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations, Mr. Wang Tianlin."

Once the list of winners was announced, it was not Wang Tianlin who jumped up first, but his son Wang Jing, who jumped up like a monkey and hugged his father excitedly.

Wang Tianlin was very calm about winning the award. He has been in the film industry for half his life, and he has never seen any ups and downs.The best director award at the Academy Awards may be something that other people want, but to him it is just a meaningful room decoration.

Wang Tianlin tremblingly walked onto the stage and shook hands with Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan one by one.Fang Yihua's expression is not very natural, because Wang Tianlin once planned to go to Shaw Brothers after the bankruptcy of MP & GI, but Shaw Brothers did not take him in.Because at that time Shaw felt that his talent reserve was already enough, one more Wang Tianlin would not be too many, and one less him would not be too many.

Who knew that this veteran director, who was not expected at the beginning, would have a second spring after coming to Xu's. His "Love in a Fallen City" was well-received and well-received, making Fang Yihua feel a little jealous.Remembering that she was the one who suggested to keep Wang Tianlin out, Fang Yihua's blood pressure rose a bit.

"I am very grateful to the judges for their kindness. I have worked hard in the film industry for half my life, and now I feel that it is worth it to get this award." Wang Tianlin said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xu Guanwu. When everyone is not optimistic, I was selected as this award. Director of the movie. Thank you!"

After Director Wang Tianlin delivered his acceptance speech, he left the stage with Fang Yihua and Chu Yuan.

"Brother Tianlin, I really envy you for getting such an award." Chu Yuan smiled as he walked.

Wang Tianlin smiled and said, "Don't be envious, I think you will get it too, now the times are different. In the past, we old guys should be retired at this stage, but now we have a second spring, how can we not How about working harder?"

"Brother, you are right." Chu Yuan smiled.

Fang Yihua who was at the side heard the intimate conversation between the two, but felt very upset in his heart, because these two people were both old fellows rejected by Shaw Brothers in general terms.Chu Yuan made a literary film before, and it didn't sell well for a long time, so he had to arrange to sit on the bench in the end.Unexpectedly, he went to Xu's to shoot Gu Long's martial arts novels, but his literary temperament and Gu Long complemented each other perfectly, and all the fantasy martial arts films he made were hits.

Although Wang Tianlin was a major director in MP & GI, his later works were not very popular, and he was overwhelmed by Shaw Brothers.In addition, Shaw Brothers believed that they had Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and other great directors in charge, so they didn't care about Wang Tianlin, so they turned him away.Unexpectedly, Wang Tianlin was growing stronger and stronger. A "Love in a Fallen City" took tens of millions of box office, setting the highest box office record in Hong Kong history, and making Shaw's eyes red with envy.

After returning to the backstage, Fang Yihua didn't want to walk with the two of them again, fearing that she would suffer a sudden heart attack, she didn't even say a word, and immediately left alone.

Seeing her hurried back, Wang Tianlin and Chu Yuan couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled. Once upon a time, they were both regarded as abandoned children by Shao, but they didn't expect that there would be a day when Xianyu would turn around.

After the Best Director Award, the Best Film Award will be presented. This award will be jointly presented by Wu Siyuan, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Ye Zhiming, Chairman of the Xiangjiang Film Association.

The nominees for best film are "A House of Gold", "Love in a Fallen City", "For You" and "Metropolis".

Xu Guanwu is still looking forward to the last best film. Of course, now that he has won so many awards, he is already very satisfied.

"The best film award is "Love in a Fallen City". Congratulations!" Wu Siyuan announced loudly.

Xu Guanwu then stood up with a smile, hugged Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi beside him, and shook hands with several people nearby.

Then, amidst the congratulations from everyone, he came to the stage, shook hands with Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming one by one, and took the trophy. "Thank you to the judges for your kindness, thank you to all the employees of the Xu Group, and thank you to everyone who loves Hong Kong movies. I will continue to work hard to make more good-looking movies for everyone." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu then returned to the backstage with Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming, but at the moment the music sounded, it was Xu Xiaofeng who led everyone to sing "Applause".For today's artists, no matter whether they are award-winning or not, shortlisted or not, this is a very meaningful song, so it is also very emotional when it is sung, and it will soon become a song on and off the stage. The scene is quite touching.

Backstage, Wu Siyuan and Ye Zhiming both congratulated Xu Guanwu, congratulations, "Mr. Xu, it's amazing. There are only more than ten awards in total, and your Xu family has won so many. If it wasn't for an appointment in advance, there would be [-]% of the award." Give it to a small film company, I'm afraid you're going to make it all together."

"Don't say that, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I also want to congratulate you, this Academy Award ceremony has been a complete success."

"Uh, it's not too satisfactory. It's unexpected that Zeng Jiao gave up the award." Wu Siyuan said, "Mr. Xu, we must take this matter seriously. I suggest that all film companies in Hong Kong block him together. He took The award was also selected by the judges, and the result was unanimously approved by everyone. He said he would not take it, and he said so many strange things on stage. If people misunderstand that our Academy Award is tricky, it is really against us Insulting and irresponsible at work."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "I know that Zeng Jiang did go too far, but I suggest not to take measures in a hurry, otherwise you will be misunderstood. It's really tricky. I think it's good. Let's talk to him later. Let’s talk, let him clarify in the newspaper, and try to resolve this matter.”

Ye Zhiming smiled, "Mr. Xu is still thoughtful, Siyuan, don't rush Zeng Jiang's question. Although he is only an actor now, he has a lot of contacts in the entertainment circle. You may not want to block him now. It’s banned. Besides, Zeng Jiang is still a contracted artist of TVB, and it is said that he is still filming in Xu’s. You don’t want to block it, you have to give Mr. Xu face.”

After hearing Ye Zhiming's words, Wu Siyuan couldn't help but patted himself on the head, "Oh, I'm so confused, I forgot that there is such a relationship. Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry."

Getting rid of Zeng Jiang is a trivial matter, but offending Xu Guanwu is a major matter.Besides, Xu Guanwu also promised to help him distribute "The First Type of Danger" and other films to the United States. At this critical moment, he dared not offend the God of Wealth.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am not protective of my weaknesses. Even if he is a member of our company, as long as he makes a mistake, he will be punished reasonably." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I just think that although Zeng Jiang's behavior went too far, I don't see him. If it can reach the point of being blocked, there is still room for change.”

"Well, in this case, let him make a statement first." Wu Siyuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

"En, very good, very good." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Thank you both for your understanding, Zeng Jiang is talented and his acting skills are top-notch, but his temper may be a little arrogant, I will try to persuade him. "
