Chapter 629 The Battle of the Movie Kings
In other words, it is precisely because of the music of the play "The Tang Dynasty Heroine Girl" that Chen Xiaotang is very optimistic about this play, and thinks that it is only natural for this play to win the best music.

It's a pity that things backfired, and at the end the award presenter announced: The winner of this year's best music award is --- Lin Minyi's "Love in a Fallen City"!
Once this result was announced, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among many people, because everyone has ears and eyes, and anyone can distinguish good from bad.

It is true that the music in "Love in a Fallen City" is good, but compared to the delicateness of "The Tang Dynasty Unrestrained Girl", it still falls short.

Investigating the reason, most of them understand why "The Tang Dynasty Unrestrained Girl" lost to "Love in a Fallen City", just because this movie is a tertiary movie, a romance movie, and an erotic movie!
That's its sin, that's its flaw, that's why it can't win an award!

It can be said that this year's Academy Awards can make such a play a finalist, which is already "flattering" it. How can an important music award be awarded to it? !

At a ceremony like the Hong Kong Film Awards, which caters to mainstream audiences, a film like "Tang Dynasty" can only be icing on the cake, a green leaf, proving that the Golden Image Awards are "all-encompassing" and "impartial". When awarding, it will only be given to the mainstream, to literature and art, not to such low-level tastes...

It can be said that the Hong Kong Film Awards at this time does not have a truly broad mind, and has not yet reached the state where all types of films can be accepted.

It wasn't until ten years later, that is, in [-], that the Hong Kong Film Awards made a super breakthrough, awarding the title of Best Actor to an actor who had evolved into a famous actor, and this actor was the first three-level actor The actor Huang Qiusheng, and this movie is "Human Meat Pork Buns"!
Chen Xiaotang understood all of this, and so did the others, so no one stood up to accuse the organizer of being unfair or the judges for being unfair.Many things take time to change, if it is done overnight, it is not a good thing.

As everyone had guessed, the nominated "Brave Girl of the Tang Dynasty" ended up getting nothing at this year's Academy Awards, and it directly became a foil, lace and green leaves.However, being shortlisted is also an improvement for a tertiary film.

Looking at the forced smiles on the faces of the crew of "Tang Dynasty" not far away, Chen Xiaotang could only sigh inwardly. After all, such awards are beyond his control, unless he has the ability to reform the Golden Statue Awards in the future and make them more attractive. more fair and equitable.

After the best music was presented, all the audience turned their attention to Zeng Zhiwei's funny face.

Because everyone knows that with the second half of the Academy Awards ceremony, many major awards will be announced soon.

Look forward to!

Everyone is looking forward to it!

Especially those stars who have been nominated for awards, I look forward to it in my heart!
As expected, the best actress was awarded next!

Who will win a generation of actresses? !
A group of actresses, big and small, all sat up straight, their eyes were about to burst into flames with hope.

"...Next, Ms. Fang Yihua, the executive director of Hong Kong Shaw Brothers Film Company, will come on stage to present us with the Best Actress award!" The fat lady Shen Dianxia, ​​the host, roared.

After all, she is the best actress, with super high gold content.

Amid the laughter of everyone, the sixth aunt Fang Yihua, wearing an expensive cheongsam, walked up gracefully.

Aunt Six is ​​a singer herself, and she is no stranger to the stage, so when she is on the stage, no matter her demeanor or expression, she gives people a sense of grace.

Originally, this time it was Daheng Shao who was going to present the best film award on stage, but he was snatched away by Sir Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong. The woman's sixth aunt, Fang Yihua, arranged such an important position as an award presenter, which can be regarded as letting Shaw Brothers and Wireless show their faces.

on the awards stage.

"First of all, I would like to thank the organizing committee for giving me the opportunity to present awards on stage!" Aunt Six Fang Yihua waved to everyone, and then said: "I really did not expect such an important award to be presented by me. This is a great honor, and it is also a kind of encouragement to Shaw Brothers and TVB. On behalf of the company, I would like to say thank you to everyone!"

"Papa..." The applause rang out without hesitation, and then, Fang Yihua nodded with a smile, and said loudly: "Okay, I guess everyone can't wait any longer, and they all want to watch the latest movie as soon as possible." Who will be next..." Smiling, Aunt Six took the envelope from the host, and then said word by word: "The one nominated for Best Actress in the [-]th Hong Kong Film Awards is——"

Following Aunt Six's announcement, clips of four movies appeared on the big screen. These four movies are:

Siqin Gaowa's "A Year Like Water";
Zhang Aijia "Shanghai Night";
Gu Meihua "The Years Like Water";
"Waiting for Dawn" by Ye Tong.

It can be said that the heroines of these four movies are very powerful, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps.Needless to say, Siqin Gaowa is an old artist, an old actor, and she was born in an acting university, so her acting skills are top-notch.Zhang Aijia is a well-known female star in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Her unique personality and inner temperament are fascinating.Gu Meihua and Ye Tong are also actresses with acting skills, especially Ye Tong has a variety of types, capable of both literature and martial arts, male and female. In her previous life, "Legend of the New White Snake" co-starred by her and Zhao Yazhi was extremely brilliant.

Now these four women are obviously competing for the best actress, which can be said to be extremely fierce.

When the sixth aunt Fang Yihua announced loudly: "The winner of this year's Best Actress is-"The Years Like Water", Siqin Gaowa!"

Wow!Cheers sounded.

Off the stage, Siqin Gaowa covered her mouth with an unbelievable look. She got up and hugged Zhang Aijia and others who were competing for the best actress by her side, and put their cheeks together, and then walked to the awards stage with great excitement.

As a mainland actress, Siqin Gaowa never imagined that she would be able to win the honor of Best Actress on the Hong Kong stage.

Standing on the stage, she was so excited that she was speechless. People continued to give her applause, which was an affirmation of her acting skills and a compliment to this mainland actress.

"I'm really... very excited. I don't know what to say. In short, I thank everyone, the crew, and the director..." Siqin Gaowa covered her mouth and broke down in tears.

Applause broke out again.

No one expected that this year's Best Actress Siqin Gaowa's acceptance speech would be so short, just a sentence or two, but it was very sincere.

In order not to make the award presentation too cold, the host came on stage again to make jokes, and then reminded that the next award would be more valuable.

The actress has already come out, and of course the actor will be next!
Don't say that Hong Kong movies are patriarchal. In fact, the title of actor is indeed much more noble than that of the queen, and the salary of the actor after winning the award is also higher than that of the queen who also won the award.The main reason for this "unfair" phenomenon is that Hong Kong movies are dominated by male actors, and many movies are assigned to men, such as action movies, martial arts movies, police movies, and horror movies.

It is precisely because the overall male audience is the largest, so the gold content of the best actor is often the highest among the major awards.

Now the new film king is about to appear, and everyone is looking forward to it.

All of them stared intently at the stage, waiting for the host to announce the start of the best actor awards.

It's a pity that the emperor was not in a hurry to kill the eunuch, and the host Zeng Zhiwei still started to make jokes.

"Everyone knows that I'm actually a movie actor, but now I'm doing less filming, because I'm afraid that if I stand up, I'll steal the jobs of many people. The director department cried and begged me to film their scenes, but I refused all of them outrightly, I told them that my major is hosting, and I will fight till I grow old on the stage of hosting!"

As soon as his words fell, Shen Dianxia who was standing beside him immediately said "sarcasm": "Really? I'm afraid it's because you are too ugly and you are afraid of scaring the audience?"

"Love to joke!" Zeng Zhiwei retorted, "Although I admit that I don't look very good, there is still a big difference from being ugly. Besides, the audience is not as superficial as you. What everyone appreciates is acting, not Beautiful and ugly."

"Heh, when it comes to acting skills, I'm afraid you're not very good, are you? Otherwise, how can I award you a best actor?" Shen Dianxia joked.

"Hey, let me tell you, familiarity is familiarity, but I still have the right to sue you for slandering me!" Zeng Zhiwei curled his lips in anger, and said with disdain: "This shows that people I’m not good enough but say me, tell me, who of you don’t know that Zeng Zhiwei’s acting skills are far superior to Chen Xiaotang’s and Zhou Runfa’s?” After speaking, he posed a poss, and the whole person did a handsome pose of 007 holding a gun.

"Pfft!" Shen Dianxia and everyone laughed, and Zhou Runfa and the others hugged their stomachs speechlessly, fearing that it would hurt from laughing.

"This Chinese dwarf is really interesting!" After the foreigners understood what Zeng Zhiwei said, they also couldn't help laughing. Many people took off their glasses, for fear of laughing their eyes away.

After a long time, Zeng Zhiwei muttered: "Okay, I don't want to talk too much with you as an acting school, let's see who is the real freshly released, fiery god of acting, the best actor in the Golden Statue— —”

After a pause, Zeng Zhiwei said loudly: "Next, I invite Mr. Jiang Dawei, a famous Hong Kong film actor and the first Chinese best actor, to come on stage to present us with the [-]th Best Actor Award. Hehe, everyone, don't go away, this is' Actor's Grand Prize!"
For insiders, "Actor" is a recognition of the actor's acting skills from the outside world, while for laymen, the title "Actor" represents a star, an absolute star. Therefore, when Zeng Zhiwei said that he will be awarded the " When the "Best Actor" award was announced, all the audience were excited, and the heart of the finalist, Chen Xiaotang, also couldn't help but jump wildly.

"You must get it! This is my first actor award!" Chen Xiaotang shouted in his heart, and his eyes became hopeful.

Fatty Wang Jing, who was sitting next to Chen Xiaotang, smiled and said, "Tiao, I thought you were the Tathagata Buddha, and you would not be nervous under any circumstances. Now, I was wrong. You are also an ordinary person with a mortal body!"

"Nonsense, if I could see through fame and fortune, I would have already become a monk and become a monk, what kind of star would I be!" Chen Xiaotang gave the fat man a white look.

The fat man shrugged his shoulders: "Be safe and don't be impatient. It's not easy to be the actor this time. Look, Zhou Runfa, Li Xiuxian, Zheng Zeshi, Cheng Long, and you... Everyone who is shortlisted is not a master. If you want to come out on top, I will It's hard to see!"

"Halo, don't discourage me, okay?"

"I'm vaccinating you so you don't cry if you don't get the award."

"Crying for your head, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Just as Chen Xiaotang and Fatty were joking, the famous movie star David Jiang stepped onto the awarding stage.

David Jiang is well-known in Hong Kong. He made his debut at the age of four and starred in countless works. In 1969, he played the leading role for the first time in "The Ranger" directed by Zhang Cheh, and successfully played a young knight who dedicated himself to love; In the director's movie "Revenge", he played Guan Xiaolou who avenged his brother. He won the Best Actor Award at the No.1970 Asian Film Festival in 16 and became the first "Asian actor" in Hong Kong history!
It is precisely because of this that David Jiang was able to replace several prominent bosses and filmmakers, and was most qualified to present the Best Actor award at the Academy Awards.

Chen Xiaotang's understanding of David Jiang is purely due to the TV series he shot, such as Hong Kong ATV's "Amber and Blue Dragon" in the early days, in which he played the leading actor Zhao Xuan; ATV's later filming of the martial arts drama "Snowflake Excalibur", in which David Jiang played Luo Xuan , very grand master style.

In terms of movies, Chen Xiaotang didn't watch David Jiang much, and he only had one "Flying Knife Sees Flying Knife" in his impression, in which he played the male lead "Li Huai".

At this moment, on the awards stage, David Jiang, who is not tall or even looks a little thin, is not as tall and mighty as on the big screen. Therefore, sometimes there is a big difference between the real person and the image on the screen.

David Jiang took the microphone and said: "I am very grateful to the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards for giving me this opportunity to present this year's Best Actor; speaking of it, it has been more than ten years since I won the Asia-Pacific Best Actor Award. Look, I was really young and energetic back then, but now, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and my front wave is about to die on the beach.”

David Jiang's humor made everyone laugh, and Chen Xiaotang was even more surprised, no way, such a classic internet sentence came from David Jiang?

After everyone's laughter fell to the ground, David Jiang continued: "But old actors like me, don't be discouraged, because the actor is selected regardless of high or low, regardless of race, regardless of age, so even if you You are in your [-]s and [-]s, maybe you can also get the title of best actor, of course, this title is probably because the organizing committee thinks you are too old, and the younger generation respects the old and loves the young to give you alms!"

"Hahaha!" People laughed again.

Zeng Zhiwei and the others couldn't help muttering, this Viagra is quite powerful, he used to have a straight face as if everyone owed him 800 yuan, so it turns out that he has a set of jokes!

"Okay, I've said so much nonsense, to the point of relying on the old to sell the old, but I still hope that all those who have not yet won the best actor, those who hope to win the best actor, and those who are heading towards the throne of the best actor, everyone will work hard together! Because there are Once you have reached your goal, as long as you work hard, you will be able to reach your goal!"

"Next, let's get to the point. Let's see who is nominated for the Best Actor in the Hong Kong Film Awards this year..." After Jiang Dawei finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the curtain in the air. Leading Actors appear in all films shortlisted.

Danny Lee's "Public Servants" - on the big screen, Li Xiuxian is yelling at the irresponsible police colleagues in the police station, "What is a policeman? A policeman is a public servant who holds a gun, eats royal meals, maintains law and order, and helps citizens! No! A hooligan wearing a license is not a dead cop!"

Zhou Runfa's "Waiting for Dawn" --- On the big screen, Zhou Runfa stood on the balcony and walked dangerously along the edge, muttering in his mouth: "Going from here will be Singapore, and you can go to England in three days from Singapore..."

Zheng Zeshi's "Divorced Old Bean" -- Zheng Zeshi hugged his son and cried bitterly on the big screen, "It's not that I don't want you, it's that your mother doesn't want us both!"

Cheng Long's "Dragon's Heart" --- On the big screen, Brother Cheng Long is yelling at his friend, "What do you want me to do? He is an idiot, I have to work again, and I have dreams, but for him, I will do anything No! I live so tired, sometimes I really want to die!"

Chen Xiaotang's "Uncle" --- On the big screen, Chen Xiaotang started a dialogue with the enemy in order to rescue Xiaomi.

Chen Xiaotang: "You are only living for tomorrow..."

Enemy: "What?"

Chen Xiaotang: "Those who only live for tomorrow will die at the hands of those who only live for today."

Enemy: "What are you talking about. You trash."

Chen Xiaotang: "I only live for today. I will show you how terrible that is."

Originally, according to history, this year's best actor should be "Public Servant" Li Xiuxian. Chen Xiaotang knew this, but unfortunately, due to Yongsheng Entertainment's strong support for Zhou Runfa and Chen Xiaotang's sudden appearance, making This time the battle for actor has become a bit unpredictable.

In terms of acting skills, "Dragon Heart" starring brother Cheng Long is the least favored. No matter how hard Cheng Long works, how he roars in the play, how he shows off his brotherhood, the audience's evaluation of his acting skills is "better than before." There has been some progress, but it’s just scratching the surface.”

However, Cheng Long was already very happy to be shortlisted. For this year's best actor, he is quite self-aware.

Compared with Cheng Long, Fatty Zheng Zeshi's performances have always been more vivid. For example, the "Fat Cat" series he starred in can be said to have brought an idiot to life.It's a pity that this time he plays an old man, neither the script nor the role is very flattering, and the title of best actor is a bit too far away from him.

Zhou Runfa, Li Xiuxian and Chen Xiaotang were left. These were the last three male stars to compete for.

Li Xiuxian's performance in "Public Servant" can definitely move people's hearts. In contrast, "Waiting for Dawn" starring Zhou Runfa is full of literature and art, which can be said to be the judges' favorite. As for Chen Xiaotang, his performance in "Uncle" can be used "Stunning" to describe.
