Chapter 296 Master and apprentice both won awards
Zhong Chuhong almost fell, but luckily she managed to hold on.
Chen Baiqiang quickly stepped forward to help her onto the podium.
Zhong Chuhong was embarrassed when she came on stage to receive the award for the first time. She felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
“Thank you, Brother Danny!” Zhong Chuhong said thank you to Chen Baiqiang first.
Then he bowed to the audience and said with a blushing face: "I'm sorry, I'm not used to wearing high heels!"
Logically speaking, it is very shameful to be embarrassed on important occasions, but the guests at the scene were Most of them thought this girl was frank and cute, and responded with kind laughter.
When Zhong Chuhong participated in the Miss Hong Kong contest before, she made a mistake because she couldn't wear high heels and ended up in fourth place.
Speaking of which, the fourth place among Miss Hong Kong is a magical ranking. It stands to reason that if you are not in the top three, you should be a scumbag, right?
But it is only 1982, and after nine sessions, three fourth place winners, Miao Qianren, Zhao Yazhi and Zhong Chuhong, have already become famous in the film industry.
The first, second and third place finishes were not a big splash.
But starting from next year, there will be talents among the top three teams.
Zhong Chuhong first thanked the organizing committee and her family, and then focused on thanking Yang Ye.
“Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Yang, because Mr. Yang said that I would be popular, and then many people asked me to film, and I became really popular. It is even more effective than the Queen of Heaven.”
< br>The guests at the guest table burst out laughing, and Yang Ye also couldn't laugh or cry.
What he didn't expect was that after the Academy Awards were broadcast on TV, many people really believed it and worshiped him as a Bodhisattva!
The next awards almost became a duel between the two films "Sediq Bale" and "Sword Rain", and other films became foils.
Although "Sediq Bale" has the power of a golden lion, King Hu, as the founder of martial arts movies, is not a vegetarian.
In the end, "Sword Rain" won five awards for Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Director.
"Sediq Bale" won four awards for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Music, and Best Visual Effects.
These two films were artistically and commercially successful, and other films are truly incomparable.
The best animated film went to "Old Master".
"Old Master" is one of the few popular comics in Hong Kong, with sales exceeding 100 million copies. It has been made into many cartoons and live-action movies. It has been popular for a long time.
But this thing is plagiarized. The cartoon images of Old Master and Big Sweet Potato by Hong Kong cartoonist Wang Ze are very similar to Old Master and Old Sweet Potato created by Mainland cartoonist Peng Di.
Old Masters in the Mainland were very popular in the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1950s, Pengdi painted a painting called "Sweet Potato Unearthed" and was beaten into a faction. He gave up writing and died in poverty.
However, Yang Ye knew that Gui knew, but he did not expose it, because it was useless to expose his brother. Not to mention that his friend was dead, even if he was not dead, he would not be able to get a penny in compensation.
And Yang Ye himself is a plagiarist and has no qualifications to criticize others.
Although there are some incorrect views, to be fair, without Wang Ze’s secondary creation and the promotion and popularization in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the animated image of Old Master would have been annihilated long ago, and not even Mao would be left.
This incident was later disclosed by the mainland writer Feng Jicai, but Wang Ze refused to admit it until his death, and no one could do anything to him.
The best Asian film was given to the Japanese film "The Call of the Mountains". This is a classic that has caused a sensation in Asia, especially in mainland China. It is a well-deserved award for it. Return.
When the awards were presented, there was a commotion in the audience because people really came to accept the award, and unlike last year's "The Girl Who Killed", it was just a supporting role that came to accept the award.
This time, the person who came here was actually the director of the movie, the famous Japanese film master Yamada Yoji.
Everyone present here is a filmmaker, so naturally they have heard of this person. When a leading Japanese director came to Hong Kong to accept the award, they were first surprised, and then felt bright in their faces.
In fact, Yamada Yoji came to Hong Kong to receive the award because Yang Ye made a deal with Shochiku Pictures, where Yamada Yoji works, in order to increase the influence of the Academy Awards.
However, this kind of thing is not common knowledge to outsiders, and Yang Ye will naturally not say it.
Yamada Yoji took the Academy Award trophy from the presenter Hu Jinquan and said into the microphone: "Thank you! Thank you Academy Awards for awarding us this best Asian film.
Coincidentally, a week ago The Japan Film Academy Award also awarded the Best Foreign Language Film to the Hong Kong film "Sakura in the Wind". This is a wonderful fate.
I envy everyone here because Japanese movies have declined. , and Hong Kong movies are on the rise. The movies you shot have not only conquered Asia, but also spread to Europe and the United States. As an Asian, I also feel honored..."
Yamada Yoji praised Hong Kong movies, He walked off the stage holding the trophy.
The guests in the audience naturally gave warm applause.
In business, we should give each other face!
Speaking of which, the Academy Award for Best Asian Film could basically only be awarded to Japanese films in the 1980s.
On the one hand, Japan is one of the major markets for Hong Kong films, and the two sides have frequent exchanges. On the other hand, Iranian movies and Korean movies have not yet risen.
As for the third brother, his family's movies and the movie market are too weird and unique, and the two sides are destined to have no intersection.
After the award ceremony, the guests went to Lei Garden to attend the Hong Kong Academy Awards Dinner.
This dinner was sponsored by Lei Garden and cost nothing.
Yang Ye took the time to say sorry to Wang Yang and let them run away.
Wang Yang smiled and said it didn't matter, and said that the Academy Awards were held fairly. If you lose, your skills are inferior to others. Try again next time.
Wang Yang thought it was fair, but many film companies expressed dissatisfaction because the award was divided between Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan.
But there is no way. Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan are the most powerful directors in the Chinese world today. They take action together, and others can only stand aside.
The award winners naturally become the targets of media interviews, especially the most watched actors and actresses.
Yang Ye won the Best Actor title again, and Hui Yinghong became the second Best Actress. They are still in a master-student relationship, so the attention is even better.
Yang Ye had to find a special place and took Hui Yinghong with him for reporters to take photos and interviews.
"Young Master Yang, some people say that your company has won all the awards, which is unfair to other film companies. What do you have to say?"
"The number of judges for this year's Academy Awards has increased. There are 171 people, all of whom are professionals in the film industry. The awards are voted for by everyone, which is fair, fair and open." Yang Ye directly came up with a set of official words, which made the reporter stunned.
Yang Ye is already an old man, and since he can’t get enough oil and salt, the reporter turned to ask Hui Yinghong.
"Hongnu, after winning the Best Actress Award this time, what do you want to say to Mr. Yang?"
"Of course I have to thank Master for his cultivation. I am so lucky to have met Master. ”
“Then how are you going to thank Master You?”
"Hmm..." Hui Yinghong tilted her head and thought about it.
Yang Ye interrupted: "Hey, this is a private matter between our master and apprentice, so don't pry around!"
Someone asked: "Red Girl, will you participate in the show?" Master’s new film?”
Hui Yinghong shook her head and said, “Master’s new film is all from men. My new film is already being filmed with Brother Long.”
Yang Ye added: "Ahong was filming in the United States with Aaron, and this time she came back specially to support the Academy Awards."
"Filming in the United States? Is it a Western?"
"Yes! This is a film that combines Hong Kong action films and American Westerns. I believe you will not be disappointed."
< br>"Is it Mr. Yang who is directing it yourself?"
"Wow, Ah Hong just said that all my new films are from men. You are very unqualified as a reporter!"
>
The reporter was immediately despised by everyone. Someone asked: "Mr. Yang, can you reveal the information about your new film?"
"It's also a Western film. This time it's a collaboration with a big-name Hollywood star. I can only reveal so much."
A reporter suddenly realized a problem and asked: "You, Brother Long, and Red Girl, you all We are going to make Western films. Are we going to give up on Hong Kong and go into Hollywood collectively?”
Yang Ye shook his head and said, “But we are still Hong Kong people, and we will stick to our local roots. Going to Hollywood is an attempt. , Film is an art, only through communication and collision can inspiration burst out."
......
At the table in Xinyi City, Mai Jia looked at Yang, who was surrounded by stars outside. Ye Hehui Yinghong said with some envy: "This time at the Academy Awards, Bai Yang stole all the limelight!"
Shi Tian chewed on the knuckle of the fortune pig and said: "Everyone voted together, so it cannot be said to be unfair. The skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say."
Huang Baiming said: "To be honest, I am not satisfied with "Sword Rain" I am really impressed by the script, and the reversal is so wonderful, especially the super newcomer Jet Li, which maximizes the effect of the reversal."
Mai Jiadao: "You said. Can we invite Jet Li to make an action movie?"
Shi Tian said: "Forget it, unless you don't want the Taiwan market."
Mai Jiada: ""Sword Rain" is in Southeast Asia. They are all selling very well, and I heard that they will be released in Japan, Europe and the United States soon. So what if it doesn’t have the Taiwanese market?”
Shi Tiandao: "Have you heard about Director Li Hanxiang? Director Li got the support of the casino tycoon He Xin, established a new Kunlun Film Company, and stopped working for Shaw Brothers. As a result, Fang Yihua reported Li Hanxiang, saying When he went to the mainland, Director Li was immediately banned from filming in Taiwan and Hong Kong."
Mai Ka said: "Damn, this woman Fang Yihua is so mean!"< br>
Huang Baiming said: "Then why is Yang Ye okay?"
Shi Tian said: "Who said it's okay? It's just that he is so famous and so smart that he helped Taiwan shoot with great fanfare. "Wushe Uprising" was released worldwide and won the Golden Lion Award. It was a bit difficult in Taiwan.
However, although there is no explicit ban on him, it is impossible for his movies to be released in Taiwan. , haven’t you seen that he went to make Western films? Hui Yinghong and Yuan Biao also went to foreign countries to make movies.
And Lin Qingxia, her family immigrated to the United States, and she disappeared directly. "
Mai Jiadao: "Are they going to give up on the Taiwan market? "
Shi Tian said: "No, it is said that they are thinking of ways to repair their relationship and want to eat both sides. "
"How is this possible? "
"As long as you are not explicitly banned, anything is possible. ”
"To be honest, there is not much profit in the mainland market now."
"It doesn't exist now, but it doesn't mean there won't exist in the future. It is a market of one billion people. And it has developed rapidly after the reform. Now many Hong Kong businessmen have gone to Shenzhen. Go invest.”
“But it’s too early to go in now, and there’s no way out.”
Mai Jia and Shi Tian were discussing, but Huang Baiming saw Xu Ke standing aside and asked. : "Old Xu is not very happy tonight!"
Hearing this, Mai Jia raised his glass to Xu Ke and said: "Old Xu, we all think that your film "Ghost Horses and Wisdom Stars" was very good. , losing to Yang Ye this time is a non-war crime, there will be a chance next time!”
Xu Ke forced a smile and clinked glasses with Mai Jia.
......
After the dinner, Xu Ke found Wu Yusen and said: "John, I want to meet Boss Zou."
Wu Yusen felt strange in his heart. When Jiahe came out, why did he go to see Zou Wenhuai again?
He asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Ke said: "I wanted to shoot "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by Huanzhu Louzhu, but New Art City thought the investment was too high and refused to shoot it. They asked me to continue making comedies. I have no choice but to try with Mr. Zou."
Wu Yusen nodded in understanding and said: "I'll go back and talk to the boss. But why don't you try to find Yang Ye?"
Xu Ke said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don’t know why, but since I watched his film "Swordsman", deep down in my heart, I always wanted to break up with him."
Wu Yusen was shocked: "You also have such thoughts?"
“Is it possible that you have it too?”
"Yeah, but it's not "The Swordsman", it's "The Terminator". I saw the scene where Yang Ye was wearing a windbreaker and wearing sunglasses and shooting a gun. I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep all night. I went to the theater for that movie. I watched it a full thirteen times, studying his action design and camera switching over and over again..."
