Chapter 266 Leading the Academy Award
Chen Baiqiang was shocked. He was actually the first person to win the award. Witnessed history?
He stood up suddenly and celebrated happily with his fellow cast members Leslie Cheung and Paul Chung.
In the early 1980s, the names of these three people were linked together.
They made two movies together, in addition to this "Cheers", there is also "The Unemployed".
They are all bloody youth movies, a three-piece package of love, graduation, and abortion.
The three of them have a very good relationship. They are all from good backgrounds, well-off families, and handsome in appearance. They are known as the "Three Young Masters of Central" and have become the first generation idols in Hong Kong.
What is regrettable is that all three died young in the end, two jumped from the building and the cause of death of one remains a mystery.
Chen Baiqiang walked onto the stage, took the trophy from Yang Ye's hand, and raised it high. There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
“I am very happy to win the first gold medal trophy. This is a huge honor for me. I will carry on with the encouragement of this honor. I would like to thank you for this. My parents, thank you Director Cai Jiguang..."
After thanking a lot of people, Chen Baiqiang continued: "Our movie is called "Applause", and "Applause" is also a song I composed. Tonight I want to dedicate this song to the Academy Awards and applaud the Academy Awards." !”
It was decided before the award ceremony that Chen Baiqiang would be the guest performer, but he did not expect that he would win the first trophy.
"...Like the rising sun, you have to be confident and have a bright future. I hope to know that life is precious and can encourage you, and I am willing to give you a gentle support on the way!"
< br>The young and high-spirited Chen Baiqiang sang emotionally on the stage, seemingly giving his best wishes to the young Academy Award winner.
The second award awarded subsequently was for Best Editing. The winning film was Xu Ke's "The First Type of Danger" and the editor was Hu Dawei.
Hu Dawei was Xu Ke's royal editor from the late 1970s to the 1980s, and participated in most projects from "No Gate to Hell" to "Swordsman".
The release of "The First Type of Danger" was quite bumpy. Because the film was too violent, perverted and gloomy, it was banned by the Hong Kong Film Censorship Bureau one week before its release.
The young Xu Ke was so violent that he immediately held a press conference and took the Hong Kong Censorship Office to court.
After several months of litigation, Xu Ke revised, re-shot, and re-edited as required, and finally it was released on December 4, 1980, which was the last train for the first Academy Awards. .
The winners tonight are the first in history, so everyone is elated and excited.
Everyone won various technical awards that were subsequently awarded. The first award Yang Ye won was actually for the best action director.
However, this is not controversial. In his own modified "Terminator", the parkour in the early stage and the gun battle in the mid-term are both remarkable.
The tragic man-machine battle at the end made many people feel their adrenaline rush.
Yang Ye went on stage to receive the award, faced the camera, and kissed the small planet held by the movie goddess on the trophy.
This action was immediately photographed and became the headline photo the next day.
"This trophy does not belong to me personally. It is earned by all my colleagues from the Raptors stunt team who fought hard with their lives, so I want to thank them, thank Xiao Hei, thank A-Xian, and thank all the members of the stunt team! But verbal thanks It’s useless. I’ll give out red envelopes tomorrow, everyone will share!”
“The boss is domineering!”
Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian are in Taiwan! He yelled, causing everyone to laugh.
The best music award was then awarded to the Taiwanese film "Small Town Story". Teresa Teng personally went on stage to accept the award and sang, which won the house full of applause!
"I would like to invite Mr. Chen Long to present the Best Asian Film."
As a superstar, it is most appropriate for Chen Long to present the Best Asian Film.
Chen Long only released one Hollywood film "The Killer" last year, with a box office of more than 5 million in Hong Kong.
If someone else got this box office, they would laugh to death. But Chen Long could only be laughed to death by others after receiving this box office.
For Chen Long, this box office is a huge hit. Although he flew back from the United States to support the Academy Awards this year, he didn't get any nominations, so he just sat in the audience and clapped his hands. Of course, the organizing committee gave him face when he came on stage to be the guest of honor.
Chen Long quickly came to the stage and said: "Good evening everyone, I am Chen Long. Hong Kong movies are part of Asian movies, and Asian movies play a decisive role in the world. Hong Kong is an international city. In addition to supporting our own Hong Kong movies, In addition, we are also very supportive of film works from different countries and regions in Asia. We are committed to bringing Hong Kong films to all parts of Asia and bringing films from all over Asia back to Hong Kong."
Yang Ye sat in the audience. Damn it, this line is so rapey, who wrote it for him?
"The winner of the Best Asian Film is "Hundred Girls 2: Love and Death", congratulations!"
As the retirement work of the legendary Japanese superstar Momoe Yamaguchi, during the voting , many people tend to vote for this movie, probably hoping that...Momoe Yamaguchi can come on stage to receive the award.
As we all know, Yamaguchi Momoe lives in Hong Kong.
Amid everyone's eager anticipation, Yang Ye walked onto the stage with a small girl wearing a traditional kimono on his arm...
"Don't get excited, everyone, I'm here to translate. Let me introduce you to everyone. The person next to me is Hiroko Yakushimaru, an actress from Japan. Ms. Hiroko gave a wonderful performance in "Hundred Killers", and this time she came to receive the award as a representative."
The audience almost cursed. , in the battle just now, Yang Ye and the kimono girl appeared at the same time, and everyone thought Yamaguchi Momoe was about to show up. Especially Zhang Guorong, his eyes were wide open, so he was just trying to do this?
But Yakushimaru Hiroko was also very cute, so everyone still gave her warm applause. After all, this is an actor from a foreign film coming to accept the award in person, which is very honorable to the Academy Awards.
"Hello everyone, I am Hiroko Yakushimaru. On behalf of the director, and Ms. Momoe Yamaguchi, I would like to thank the Academy Awards for awarding this award to our film..."
Hiroko Yakushimaru chatted a lot, and then left the stage with Yang Ye amidst warm applause.
The subsequent Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress awards were all taken away by actors from Shaw Brothers.
"Terminator" once again won the best visual effects.
Yang Ye came on stage again. He held up the trophy and said: "Based on the current Hong Kong movies, this award... I can't see any competitors for the time being. But I don't hope so. Movie special effects are the future. Direction, I hope everyone can participate."
"The winner of the best documentary is..."The Tragic War""
Hong Kong audiences generally don't like to watch documentaries, but "The Tragic War" is a miracle.
"The Tragic War" is a collection of World War II documentaries and war video materials obtained by Jiang Zhiwen from the United States, Taiwan, Japan, and Mainland China, plus some clips from old movies, and mixed them together to form a series. documentary.
This film completely and vividly introduced the history of Japan's war of aggression against China to a new generation of Hong Kong audiences. It caused a sensation as soon as it was released, and eventually received a high box office of 13 million.
Without Yang Ye's interference, it would have become the box office champion in 1980 with a box office of 9.42 million. However, the scale of Anle Cinemas in that time and space was too small, which affected the box office performance. Now that it is released in Baiyang Cinema, the box office will be greatly increased. Moreover, Jiang Zhiwen also obtained a lot of video materials from the mainland through the relationship between Yang Ye and Xia Meng, which made the documentary richer and more colorful.
Jiang Zhiwen came to the stage to receive the award, holding the trophy and said: "Although this painful history has passed, I hope that the younger generation will not forget it and work hard to improve themselves!"
He only gave a brief acceptance speech. Just step down, the next best cartoon.
After the winners were announced, the guests in the audience were shocked. It turned out to be... "Nezha Haohai"!
It seems that the Academy Awards are not joking when they say they want to be inclusive. They actually awarded the best animated film to a mainland film.
This is a bit brave to ride a horse!
But having said that, if this award is not given to Xiao Nezha, who should it be given to? There are no cartoons about riding horses in Hong Kong, but there are some in Taiwan, mostly cured chickens. The Golden Horse Awards go to great lengths to hand out the "Best Cartoon" award every year.
The American Film Studio's "Nezha Haohai" is a classic in the history of Chinese animation, second only to "Havoc in Heaven", and it is well deserved to win the award.
"I would like to invite Ms. Li Xuan to present the award for the Best Actress!"
Most of the guests coming to present the award tonight are seniors in the film industry. The Academy Awards invite these people here. , allowing everyone to see the sincerity of the organizing committee.
For example, this Li Xuan is the daughter of Hong Kong's first-generation actress Lin Chuchu and the aunt of Gigi Lai. It is very appropriate for her to present the award for the best actress.
"I'm very happy that the Hong Kong Film Awards can give me this opportunity to present the award for the Best Actress. Hong Kong movies are really good now, and the whole world has to say how sharp it is when it comes to it."
Li Xuan Opening the envelope with the list of winners in his hand, he said: "The winner of the Best Actress is... Xiao Fangfang, from "Crash"."
Yang Ye shook Lin Qingxia's hand and comforted: "There will be opportunities in the future."
In fact, Lin Qingxia was eager to get this award. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Sister Fangfang did a good job."
Xiao Fangfang can write well. Able in martial arts, funny and artistic, she is the actress with the most comprehensive acting skills among Chinese actresses. However, she was born too early and is often ignored by later generations of mainland audiences.
The only character that mainland audiences are familiar with is Fang Shiyu's mother.
Xiao Fangfang has been worshiping under the pink chrysanthemum family since she was a child. She is a serious beater. Her martial arts moves are smooth and flowing. Anyone who has watched "Fang Shiyu" must have seen it.
Her comedy skills are also top-notch, and she stole the limelight from Zhou Xingchi in "Comic Dragon".
In fact, Xiao Fangfang created Hong Kong's first-generation comedian Lin Yazhen as early as the 1970s.
The classic image of Lin Yazhen has been continuously paid tribute in later Hong Kong films. For example, Zhang Baizhi imitated Lin Yazhen's style.
Speaking of literature and art, she once won the Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival for "Woman 40" and was able to win the three major European film festivals, which shows her strength.
Overall, her performance has no shortcomings and is first-rate in all aspects.
Here Yang Ye was comforting Lin Qingxia. Xiao Fangfang had already finished her acceptance speech. The shortlist for Best Actor was announced on the stage, and Yang Ye was on the list.
"The winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor is...Yang Ye, from "Terminator", congratulations!"
"Uh...what, I'm going to receive the award first. ! ”
My wife lost the election and I felt embarrassed to win the award.
In the Hong Kong version of "Terminator", Yang Ye tampered with the image of the original male protagonist, using the settings of "Terminator 6" to turn the male protagonist into a half-human, half-machine modified person , possessing the ability to fight the Terminator.
Then some elements of Little Ma were added, such as the shape of windbreaker, sunglasses, and the action design of shooting in the air, making this character very cool.
As soon as it was launched, it set off a trend around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. When Yang Ye went to Japan to hold a concert, many young people were wearing the same windbreaker and sunglasses as him, which shows his influence. So big.
Regardless of his acting skills, he deserves this award based on his unparalleled influence.
"Thank you everyone, I'm back again. Looking at film awards around the world, it's actually very difficult for action actors to win acting awards. But I don't agree with this. Don't we action actors have acting skills? Performance is a whole , Don’t just look at facial expressions, body movements are also part of the performance!
Action scenes can also convey emotions. A good actor’s crying scene can make the audience feel the same and shed tears. This is a good acting skill. The actor's wonderful fighting moves can make the audience excited and forget everything. Isn't this acting?
So today, on this stage, I want to praise the Academy Awards for their recognition of me. Express your affirmation. Judges, you are very discerning. Thank you all!” Let’s play!”
The best director was taken away by Taiwanese director Li Xing, and then it was the ultimate award tonight.
"The winner of the first Academy Award for Best Film is..."Terminator"."
Yang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again.
Since then, all sixteen awards for this year’s Academy Awards have been announced.
"Terminator" won six awards for Best Action Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor, and Best Movie, winning six out of ten, taking the lead.
Jiahe and Shaw Brothers also have their own achievements, but compared to Baiyang, they are inferior. On the contrary, Taiwanese films have won several awards.
Yang Ye quickly walked onto the stage, solemnly took the trophy from the director of Radio Hong Kong, Zhang Minyi, and said: "Thank you, Director Zhang!"
Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "I hope you can film more scenes and We bring Hong Kong to the world.”
“Definitely, definitely!”
Later, Yang Ye gave his acceptance speech: “Thank you to the Academy Awards jury for their support of our "Terminator" crew. Definitely, this award belongs to all of us, Qingxia, A Feng, A Kui, Xiu Jie..."
Yang Ye thanked a long list of names, and finally said: "Those who shot before me Of all the movies, "Terminator" was the most difficult one to shoot. Needless to say, we filmed this movie in secret.
Fortunately, the environment is much better now, and the laws related to shooting street speed action scenes have also entered the discussion stage. So finally, I would like to thank the Hong Kong government for its support of our film industry. With this support, we Hong Kong filmmakers have the confidence to do our best in the film industry! ”
Yang Ye flattered the Hong Kong government at the end.
So far, the first Academy Awards has achieved a complete success!
