The audience has not yet entered the venue, and everyone is relatively casual. They leave their seats and chat with familiar friends.
Yang Ye came in and saw Liu Xiaoqing. She was sitting with an elderly man and a young handsome boy.
The old man is the great director Li Hanxiang, and the young handsome boy is the future actor Liang Jiahui.
Yang Ye leaned over and said with a smile: "Old Li, I just came back from Japan. Your movies are selling well in Japan!"
Li Hanxiang's "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" just opened in Japan It was released in Japan and grossed 1.3 billion yen at the box office.
This era was a low point for Japanese films, and it became a dumping ground for Hong Kong films. Many Hong Kong films achieved box office success in Japan.
When "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was released in Hong Kong last year, it grossed HK$15.4 million at the box office. It received five more nominations for the Academy Awards this year, making it a popular film.
Liu Xiaoqing was also nominated for Best Actress. She came to compete for the throne of Best Actress.
Li Hanxiang smiled and said: "Compared with you, Mr. Yang, it's just a small fuss!"
This is the truth, although Li Hanxiang's huge revenue of 1.3 billion yen in Japan is already very impressive. , but Yang Ye’s box office in Japan has never been less than 2 billion, which is a real box office myth.
Li Hanxiang then introduced two of his actors to Yang Ye.
Liang Jiahui shook hands with Yang Ye excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I have watched all your movies."
Yang Ye smiled and said, "I have watched your movies. Look, Jiahui, you did a great job!”
“Thank you!”
Yang Ye shook hands with Liu Xiaoqing again: “Comrade Xiaoqing, long time no see!” >
In front of so many people, Liu Xiaoqing was also very sensible and said with a smile: "Director Yang, long time no see!"
Li Hanxiang said in surprise: "So you know each other?"
Yang Ye said: "Yes. Ah, we met four years ago!"
Liu Xiaoqing explained: "Director Yang was the award presenter at the third Hundred Flowers Awards four years ago, and we met at that time."< br>
“That’s it!” Li Hanxiang suddenly realized and said with a smile: “Young Master Yang, you went to the mainland early enough!”
Yang Ye said: "Go early and get rich early, it's not too late for you!"
The Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Mainland suddenly cheated and developed a Chinese computer with performance that is not inferior to IBM, which really shocked the world.
Before this, due to the limited processing power of computers, people had to use Chinese cards to assist when inputting Chinese and printing Chinese characters.
The Chinese computers invented in China do not need this thing at all and can be used directly.
This is awesome!
However, the first reaction of overseas Chinese is...this is bragging!
It’s a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around!
The Chinese Academy of Sciences manufactured computers for civilian use, established a computer company in Shenzhen, and began selling computers and exporting them overseas.
Once you try this thing, you will know that it is really easy to use, so the Hanka Company in Taiwan went bankrupt in minutes.
Because of this incident, the fate of some people in the country will also change.
For example, the concept of "American imperialism's conscience" will probably never appear again.
Historically, as the state cut funding for computing institutes and laid off employees, the leadership of the institute asked some employees to go out and set up computing institute companies, and gave many green lights, such as being able to directly display the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. .
This company later became Guangxinxiang, and Guangxinxiang made its first pot of gold by selling Hanka!
Now, it is impossible to reduce the funding of the computer institute, and it is impossible to lay off employees. Everything must be...increased efforts!
Then, in Wuhan, there was a young man who wanted to make a fortune because of his conscience. He also made his own Hanka and used the trump card that he had used all his life. I made small profits but quick turnover, and I also made a profit. When it came to the first pot of gold, this guy’s surname was Lei!
In the beautiful small town of Zhuhai, there was a person named Shit who also created his own Hanka and made his first pot of gold.
In short, the first pot of gold for Liu, Lei, Shi, and many others is now gone.
How their fate will develop in the future, Yang Ye doesn’t know!
Now, because the mainland has come up with such an awesome thing, many people’s impressions of the mainland have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the eyes of many people, the mainland is now where China’s hope lies!
When Zhu Bangfu, the inventor of Hanka, who was forced to travel to the United States, heard the news, he excitedly carried his luggage and went to work in Shenzhen.
This is a digression. All in all, there have been some subtle changes in the mentality of Hong Kong people towards the Mainland. The most obvious thing is that Hong Kong filmmakers are thinking about filming in the Mainland.
Go first and seize the opportunity.
However, the negotiations are not over yet. Before the situation is unclear, many people still only keep it in their mouths or even in their hearts.
In fact, we are all smart people. It’s not that we don’t understand the difference between providing help in times of need and adding icing on the cake.
It’s just that most people want stability and don’t want to take risks!
……
Everyone chatted for a while, the audience began to enter the venue, and everyone returned to their seats.
Yang Ye was in the front row, sitting with several film industry tycoons and government officials.
As soon as the guy sat back down, he chatted quietly with Zhang Minyi next to him.
Zhang Minyi hadn't seen Yang Ye for several months, and they were very happy to chat. However, in public, the two of them only talked about movies in low voices.
Zhang Minyi sighed: "I really didn't expect that the Hong Kong Film Awards could reach this point."
Yang Yip said: "With the prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry, the influence of film awards will naturally increase. It’s normal to get bigger, and it’s thanks to the strong support of the Hong Kong government.”
“It’s only because of your ability as filmmakers that we are able to achieve this grand event today. We civil servants are just doing our duties, but we don’t dare. Take the credit!”
“How could it be possible? For example, the Hong Kong government has made it very convenient for us to shoot scenes of street explosions. All of us filmmakers are very grateful.”
The two of them talked seriously and blew rainbow farts at each other.
"By the way, eldest sister, if you are free, I'll treat you to a casual meal some other time." Zhang Minyi's nickname in the circle is eldest sister, and everyone calls her that.
“We civil servants cannot accept invitations to eat.”
“What kind of invitation is a dinner party between friends? I know a shop that serves plump abalone. Juicy, I like it very much and want to share it with you.”
Zhang Minyi cursed in her heart: This bastard said something crazy in public.
However, she felt inexplicably irritated and said: "Okay, you treat me to dinner, and I will also give you a gift, which is considered a courtesy!"
Yang Ye asked: "What? A gift? "
Zhang Minyi said: "I have a piece of Jinhua ham, which is very delicious! "
"Yes, it's better to have it tomorrow. br>
"Okay!"
......
A burst of cheerful music sounded, and there was a burst of warm applause from the stands.
Nine little girls came on the stage, jumped up and down, and sweetly sang "You Are the Most Popular" to the guests!
“Congratulations! You are the most favored. Career and love are all organic.
Create the current situation, the sky and the earth will be red, and the world will turn around you.
Shooting in commercials, releasing records, you will be blessed and lucky, and you will realize the legend of this new generation of celebrities.
If there is an award ceremony, you will be there, long live ten thousand live..."
The youthful atmosphere and the auspicious lyrics made the guests in the audience laugh.< br>
Shao Yifu liked beautiful women the most, and he felt very comfortable when he saw them. He couldn't help but said to Yang Ye: "Aye, you write good songs! ”
Yang Yexin said, I wrote this song, okay? It was the girl who picked it! He smiled and said, "Sir Shao, thank you for the award!"
Girls' Generation has not appeared in Hong Kong for several months. This time, they brought an opening performance for the Hong Kong Film Awards, which surprised thousands of spectators at the scene. , who doesn’t like to see beautiful girls?
This ticket is worth buying!
The bosses of the film companies here are planning to invite them to make movies. Their popularity is so high, it would be a waste not to make movies!
When Girls’ Generation’s performance ends, the Academy Awards officially begins.
The first award was given to the Best Newcomer. The award presenter, Xu Anhua, walked onto the stage. After saying hello to everyone, he didn't say much and just invited everyone to watch the big screen.
The wonderful performances of the finalists in the movie then appeared on the big screen: "The nominees for the Best Newcomer of the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards include Cheng Yuling "Flower City", Xu Suying "Half the Man", the Leung Family He has performed in "The Curtain", Mok Shaocong's "Martial Arts Order", and Donnie Yen's "Kowloon Walled City". "
Donnie Yen is a little nervous. Last year, Jet Li failed to win the best newcomer. This year he doesn't know. Can it be successful?
Anna Hsu opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the Best Newcomer is... Zheng Yuling, "Flower City"!"
Zhen Zidan was greatly disappointed when he heard the name. Then I thought: Forget it, he can’t get it and I can’t get it. Let’s tie it and compete again!
This year's best music award was split into best soundtrack and best original song, which was won by the Taiwanese film "The Wrong Ride" produced by New Arts City.
Huang Baiming wrote the script of "The Wrong Ride" in just two days, and it grossed more than 40 million in box office across Taiwan. He is such a fucking talent.
But compared to the movie, its music is more meaningful.
The interludes such as "Same Moonlight", "Whether", "Please Follow Me", "If the Wine Is Sold No" are all popular classic songs that have been sung for decades and remain popular.
The original soundtrack of "The Wrong Ride" is a watershed moment in Taiwanese pop music.
A group of outstanding musicians such as Luo Dayou and Su Rui came to the forefront because of this album, which made Taiwanese pop music leap from the era of campus folk songs to the era of modern pop songs.
Next are some technology awards, each of which was won by several companies.
"The Curtain", a co-production between the Mainland and Hong Kong, won the best art design.
"Half Man" produced by Yindu Institution won the best editing.
Shaw Brothers' production of "Flower City" won Best Cinematography.
"New Shushan Swordsman" produced by Jiahe won the best visual effects.
Although the movie was produced by Jiahe, the winner has nothing to do with Jiahe, because the special effects in Shushan were produced by Yang Ye's Ziqi Company.
Yang Mingxin, the head of Ziqi Company, walked quickly onto the stage, took the trophy from the presenter Xia Meng, said thank you to his eldest sister, then raised the trophy and said: "Thank you for the golden statue. Give this award to our Ziqi Donglai Special Effects Company. This award belongs to all our employees in Ziji. I am just here to receive it on my behalf.
In recent years, there have been some gorgeous special effects in Hong Kong movies. Visual blockbusters, such as "The Terminator" directed by Yang, "The New Shushan Swordsman" directed by Xu, "The Peacock King" directed by Lan, etc., these films were all produced by Ziji. I can proudly say that our visual The visual effects are not inferior to those of Hollywood!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into warm applause. The visual effects of those movies were indeed gorgeous, and Yang Mingxin's words also made everyone very happy.
After everyone applauded, Yang Mingxin continued: "Visual effects are the future development trend of the film industry. Hollywood has been actively investing and constantly innovating technology, and our Hong Kong films cannot lag behind.
This is for my own benefit. It’s suspected of being an advertisement, but I’m just here to do advertising. If you want to make a movie and need special effects, you can come to us at Ziji and get a 20% discount for yourself. Thank you all!”
After Yang Mingxin said this, He raised the trophy and walked off the stage gracefully.
He talked a lot, but no one listened.
It costs money to do special effects. Although "Terminator" made a lot of money, "New Shushan Swordsman" lost all its money, but everyone can see it.
Most people who make movies just want to follow the trend and make a fortune. Why take such a big risk?
Only one person really listened! (End of this chapter)
