Chapter 673 Awards Ceremony, Sitting in Rows

Walking into the not-so-large memorial hall, you can see that it is already full of people. At a glance, there are many familiar famous filmmakers from the three places.

Zhou Xia and Tangtang walked forward, saying hello to acquaintances who were close to the aisle. When they reached the tenth row, they saw Teacher Li Xuejian.

He was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor for "1942".

Seeing that the old artist was placed in the tenth row, Zhou Xia still felt a little uncomfortable.

The entertainment industry is like this, whoever is popular will always sit in the first row and stand in the C position.

If it is in the mainland, no matter whether Mr. Li Xuejian has works or not, he must be in the first two rows, but this is in Wanwan, so there is no way.

It is said that 20 years ago, the Golden Horse Awards gradually declined because the market was too small. It was the first time that mainland filmmakers officially participated in the Golden Horse Awards. Teacher Li Xuejian also participated. He was placed in the 20th row at that time.

Today, 10 years later, he came to participate for the second time, and he was placed in the 10th row, advancing one row a year, which is really ironic.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, so I won't go into details.

Going forward, there are more and more familiar faces, especially the first row. In the middle are the jury chairman Li Yin, Hou Xiaoxian, Zhang Aijia and other judges, and on the right are Sunglasses King, International Zhang, Liang Yingdi and his wife, Guo Fucheng, Yang Meiqi .

Shortly after Zhou Xia and Tangtang took their seats, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony began. First, the 50-year review of the Golden Horse Awards was played on the big screen.

Since 1962, there will be a brief flash of the best picture, actor and queen of each session.

Very nostalgic, watching those classic movies makes people feel very fulfilled.

There are indeed some great films among them, which have won a lot of pride and honor for Chinese films on the international stage.

After the review video finished, the lights on the stage were turned on and the music played, and the host and judge Cai Kangyong appeared on the awards stage in a weird outfit.

He was wearing leather boots, breeches, and a black and white checkered suit with a unique shape on his back. The weirdest thing was that there was a horse behind him.

This novel shape immediately caused a burst of applause from the audience.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony. The Golden Horse Awards are of course a grand event in the Chinese film industry, but tonight's event is different from the past. Today is the first Golden Horse Awards!

Today we can see in the venue that there are so many excellent filmmakers, and in the best film "The Great Master", Ms. Zhang Ziyi played Miss Gong Er in the movie. She looked up at the signboard of the Wushu Club on the whole street of Xiangjiang When she said something, she said: "Look, this is a martial arts world!"

Looking around the venue today, we can see shining superstars everywhere. Let me take you to take a look. For example, when we walk to the stage, we saw Director Wong Kar Wai, Ms. Zhang Ziyi, Mr. Liang Chaowei, Ms. Liu Jialing, Mr. Guo Fucheng...

The best film nominees, the director of "Outing", Director Tsai Ming-liang, Chairman of the Jury, Mr. Li Yin, Judge Hou Hsiao-hsien, Zhang Aijia..., Cheng Nong, Andy Lau, Zhang Manyu..., to this side, we can see The youngest director in the Chinese-speaking circle, Mr. Zhou Xia who won the Venice Golden Lion Award, the excellent Miss Tangtang..."

After Cai Kangyong introduced the main VIPs in the front row, he looked at the introductions of VIPs in other areas.

In addition to the nominated actors and directors, these are also big stars: Huang Bo, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Jiahui, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and so on.

"Today, there are many movie kings and queens here. I will introduce them to you later. Now I will chat with you..."

Cai Kangyong continued the introduction, and finally talked about how the Golden Horse is open and inclusive. No matter where the director is in the world, as long as they are Chinese directors and Chinese-language films, regardless of their nationality, they can be nominated.

Of course, most awards ceremonies will start with these words, similar to ideals or declarations, which are the goals of hard work and idealized situations, so just listen to them.

In comparison, although the venue of the Golden Horse Awards is not big, it is indeed full of stars. Apart from the stars in front, Zhou Xia can also see many seniors on the screen from time to time, such as Gui Yalei, Lu Yan and so on.

As the Golden Horse Awards ceremony officially began, Ling Bo, the first award presenter, stepped onto the stage, and a nostalgic song sounded.

The Golden Horse awards venue is smaller than that of some domestic TV stations, but the format is relatively relaxed. After each segment, the host Cai Kangyong will step off the stage to interview VIPs who have not been introduced before.

Especially some old seniors, some of the Wanwan people, Zhou Xia didn't know them at all, and hadn't heard of them.

For example, Miss Ling Bo, who presented the award for the first time, is 70 years old.

The first award was the Best Original Music Award, which was awarded to Jia Zhangke's film "A Touch of Sin".

Zhou Xia was a little surprised, but she didn't care.

Although his film "Starting Line" received eight nominations, it is impossible to win all of them.

But Tangtang next to him tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Yiyi, do you think it will be a few popular movies that will split the awards equally in the end."

"It should be, don't worry too much, as long as you can get the best actress tonight, we will be fine." Zhou Xia quickly replied to Tangtang.

From time to time, there are shots that cast him on the big screen, and it is really inconvenient to communicate.

Tangtang was so warmed by Zhou Xia's words, she didn't say anything else, quietly waiting for the next result.

"Starting Line" is excellent overall, and it has won eight nominations, which is a kind of affirmation. It is impossible to win all awards, and she is competing with the international chapter for the best actress, so she actually has no idea at all.

Other awards were announced one after another. The best action design was awarded to Cheng Nong of "Zodiac"; the best photography was awarded to foreign photographer Philip Tesselot of "The Great Master"; The Best Supporting Actress version was given to Yang Yanyan of the Singaporean film "Parents Don't Go Home".

Best Supporting Actor came next, and the big screen began to show highlights from several shortlisted films and actors.

Zhou Xia also watched it seriously, because there was a movie by Xia Hua.

"Parents Are Not Home" male supporting Chen Tianwen; "[-]" male supporting Li Xuejian; Xiangjiang film "Guild War" male supporting Peng Yuyan, Xia Hua Film and Television's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" Huang Bo.

Huang Bo has participated in the Golden Horse Film Festival for five consecutive years. Ever since he and Zhang Jiahui won the Double Yolk Egg Best Actor together, he has become the favorite of the Golden Horse Film Festival. He also hosted the Golden Horse Awards last year.

The last actor to be shortlisted is Tong Dawei, the actor who played Wang Yang in "Broad Sea and Sky".

"Broad sea and sky?"

Zhou Xia watched the clip of "Chinese Partner" played on the screen, and it took more than ten seconds to react. Tangtang beside him also poked him with his finger.

Zhou Xia felt a little funny. The name of the movie was changed from "Chinese Partner" to "Broad Sea and Sky" just for the nomination of a Golden Horse actor. The price of this is a bit low, at least it must be a best actor, best director or something Bar?
While Zhou Xia was complaining inwardly, the big screen began to play the moment when the previous actresses, best actors, and best directors were awarded.
