Chapter 523 A Girl's Confession
As the theme song of the hit movie "My Sassy Girl", it has touched countless people, and it is reasonable for it to win the award.
As the creator of "IBelieve", Yang Ye went on stage to receive the award together with the singer Zhang Xueyou.
Zhang Xueyou naturally let Yang Ye speak first. Yang Ye took the trophy and said into the microphone: "I thought I would just sit in the audience and clap my hands tonight, but I didn't expect that I would also have the opportunity to go on stage to win the award. But this The song is so popular, and Jacky’s singing is indispensable.”
Zhang Xueyou said modestly: “No, it’s mainly because Mr. Yang’s script is well written, the songs are also well written, and Director Du’s play. It’s well shot, and because the heroine of our movie is Xiaoxian, there are many factors that make this song so popular. In short...it’s very convenient for me!”
There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience. Zhang Xueyou hit the snake and followed it with the stick, and then said: "I just don't know if it is so cheap, do I still have to pick it up?"
Yang Ye did not answer, but asked the audience: " Everyone, do you think so?"
"Yes!" The audience responded thunderously.
"Okay, this year we will produce a love movie called "Fifty First Loves", and you will be the leading actor!"
Zhang Xueyou was delighted: "Everyone give it to me. Testify!”
The Coliseum was filled with a happy atmosphere. Yang Ye walked off the stage, while Zhang Xueyou stayed on the stage to sing "IBelieve".
When he finished singing and came off the stage, but his butt was still hot, he went up again because he won the best supporting actor for "Carmen in Mong Kok".
With the phrase "I'm sorry for you", decades later, he could still become famous on the Internet and become a giant of emoticons. It can be said that he deserved the award.
Coming to the four most important awards, the organizing committee invited director Hu Jinquan, who had not appeared for a long time, and martial arts queen Zheng Peipei to award the best actress.
Hu Jinquan is in poor health and has been recovering from illness in the past few years. He has little money and his daily life is taken care of by two disciples, Zheng Peipei and Xu Feng.
The old man has been busy all his life and has neither family property nor children. However, all his disciples are very filial, no worse than his own children.
He went to Taiwan with two thousand dollars in his pocket. As a result, Shi Jun and Qiao Hong entertained guests every day and rushed to pay. After staying there for three months, they still had two thousand dollars in their pockets when they came back.
During this period, his condition improved. Xu Feng knew that his mentor was bored, so he asked him to come out and make a movie. Hu Jinquan naturally agreed happily.
Yang Ye knew that Hu Jinquan's lifelong dream was to make "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers", and this was a film destined to lose money.
In order to raise funds, Hu Jinquan traveled all over the world and struggled for more than ten years before he obtained investment from the United States with the help of John Woo.
Unfortunately, before the filming of the movie started, he had a physical examination and found out that he had a heart problem, so he had an operation and died in the hospital.
With his heart, even if he didn't die on the operating table that time, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the high-intensity directing work.
When Xu Ke asked him to shoot "The Swordsman", he had people lift him up to shoot.
Yang Ye knew that Hu Jinquan would not be alive for a few more years, so he told Xu Feng directly: "Lao Hu has been kind to you. Whatever he wants to shoot, just let him shoot it, and you will pay for it!" ”
This moved Xu Feng very much, because Baiyang Pictures’ movies rarely lose money.
Generally, only small-budget movies that cultivate newcomers will lose money, while well-produced blockbusters almost always make a profit.
Yang Ye knew that Hu Jinquan wanted to make "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" and knew that the movie would lose money, but because Hu Jinquan had shown her kindness, she still agreed to film it.
Zheng Peipei helped Hu Jinquan onto the stage, and a burst of warm applause suddenly broke out from the guest seats.
Hu Jinquan is the pioneer of martial arts movies. Everyone who makes martial arts movies follows the path he opened.
This is equivalent to Hu Jinquan giving everyone a meal, so everyone naturally respects him very much.
The master and apprentice chatted casually for a few words, and Hu Jinquan said: "Let's take a look at the shortlist first!"
On the big screen, wonderful scenes flashed by.
The voice-over read in sequence: "The nominees for the Best Actress of the 9th Academy Awards are... Anita Mui for "Rouge"... Maggie Cheung for "Carmen"... Cheng Yuling for "The World of Three"... ...Wang Zuxian's "My Sassy Girl"...Gong Li's "Red Sorghum"! "
Among the five-person list, the most popular ones are Anita Mui and Gong Li. Anita Mui is a local superstar, and Gong Li is a big star. With the power of Berlin's best actress.
Another thing worth looking forward to is Zhang Manyu, because she finally got the idea.
Prior to this, Maggie Cheung would only play the role of a cute girl who makes noises in movies, just like Ami in "Police Story".
Otherwise, nothing else.
In the movie "Carmen", Maggie Cheung suddenly became simple, gentle and full of aura, which was like a complete transformation.
By the way, Yang Ye actually liked Zhang Manyu in the past. The scene where Chen Long pulled him off the little sheep is really something I never tire of.
However, if Maggie Cheung stays at that stage, she will be eliminated from the film industry in a few years.
Fortunately, she met the King of Sunglasses. The King of Sunglasses believed that Zhang Manyu had the most beautiful body in Asia, but Zhang Manyu didn't believe it at all.
Wong Kar-wai later proved this to her. In "In the Mood for Love", Maggie Cheung was wearing a cheongsam, swaying and charming.
After the nomination clip was played, the atmosphere became tense.
In fact, Best Actress is a more important award than Best Actor.
Because male actors can prove themselves by box office. If you are a box office superstar, it doesn’t matter if you don’t need awards.
And if you can't prove yourself at the box office, it's useless no matter how many movie stars you win.
The box office appeal of female stars is mostly a joke.
If you want to prove your worth, you can only rely on awards.
Otherwise, just wait for someone to spray the vase!
Zheng Peipei opened the list of winners, Hu Jinquan took a look at it and read: "The winner of the Best Actress is... Wang Zuxian, "My Sassy Girl"!"
Wang Zuxian looked incredulous. She never thought she would win the award.
The other four female stars, except for Maggie Cheung, could not conceal their disappointment.
It’s not that Maggie Cheung doesn’t want to win the award, but she has been criticized for her poor acting skills and that she is a flower vase. She was very happy to be shortlisted this time. She had never thought about winning the award or anything.
After all, there is Gong Li who comes in with the power of the Berlin Best Actress.
Confused, who wouldn't be happy to win the award? Wang Zuxian soon became excited.
I celebrated with the crew and went on stage to receive the award.
Wang Zuxian took the statuette from Hu Jinquan and said politely: "Thank you, Director Hu, thank you Sister Peipei!"
Then she walked to the microphone and nervously announced her award. Testimonials.
Yang Ye looked at Wang Zuxian on the stage with a complicated mood.
To be honest, with Wang Zuxian's performance, it is impossible for her to win over Anita Mui and Gong Li.
The reason why she was able to win the Best Actress was because... Yang Ye secretly manipulated the results of the competition.
Today, Yang Ye has increasingly discovered that the Academy Awards selection rules set back then have a fatal flaw.
That is...China now is actually divided into three parts: mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
It is human nature to like to stick together, so members of the Academy Awards are naturally divided into three groups: Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Among them, Hong Kong has the largest number of members. If they don't want someone to win the award, they can do it as long as they communicate with each other and stick together.
If you want someone to win an award, you can easily influence the result by using targeted public relations.
This was the case last year. Taiwanese filmmakers united to show their goodwill to Yang Ye and allowed "Terminator 2" to sweep the Academy Awards.
However, everyone benefited from the result of that time, so no one had any objections.
This time...
Yang Ye hinted at an Academy Award member who came from Baiyang's agency, and also hinted at a filmmaker from Taiwan.
Once the two parties work together, Wang Zuxian’s prize will be guaranteed.
The reason why Yang Ye helped Wang Zuxian cheat was because Wang Zuxian's performance limit reached this point.
If I don’t win the prize this time, I won’t have a chance in the future.
For Wang Zuxian, eating delicious food and playing games are the focus of life. Filmmaking and other things have to be postponed a little later.
Therefore, her acting skills will hardly improve much in the future.
After all, her acting relies on talent, not hard work.
In fact, if you want to help Wang Zuxian cheat, the most suitable time was when "A Chinese Ghost Story" was shortlisted for Best Actress last year, and winning the award at that time was the most convincing.
But Yang Ye did not have this idea at that time.
Yang Ye actually doesn’t want to destroy the fairness of the Golden Melody Awards and the Academy Awards. This time, it’s just his... selfishness!
Looking at Wang Zuxian, who was smiling like a flower on the stage, Yang Ye suddenly realized that some changes were taking place in him.
Things that he didn't bother to do or didn't want to do before, now he does it without any scruples.
For example, he incited Qi Qin and Wang Jie to compete, such as this time he manipulated the Academy Awards.
Power can make people lose themselves, and Yang Ye suddenly became wary.
Having been a man for two generations and carrying a cheat, Yang Ye has been telling himself for so many years to be calm and not to be arrogant.
He didn't know what he would become when he expanded.
With the knowledge he possesses, that might... be a terrifying destructive power.
Actually, he has so many women. On the one hand, he is really an LSP. On the one hand, it is also a release.
If a person has huge wealth, he also has huge influence in an industry.
He doesn’t play with women, and he doesn’t even have any black spots.
Then he is most likely doing something more terrifying.
For example, the "sage" Wang Mang is actually plotting to seize power.
On the stage, Wang Zuxian said a long list of thanks, her parents, teachers when she was a trainee, her teammates, colleagues in the company, the director who supported her, and her wild girlfriend Colleagues on the crew, and finally...
"I want to thank Brother Ye, Sir Yang Ye! Thank you for taking care of me, loving me, and tolerating me for so many years. Without you, the world would be the same. I don’t know the words Wang Zuxian, I love you!”
Wang Zuxian didn’t know if he was stimulated by Yang Ye’s recent gossip news, but he actually confessed publicly on the podium.
Fortunately, she is not stupid. These three words are a bit ambiguous. You can interpret them as the love between a man and a woman, the love between a brother and a sister, or the gratitude for the kindness of knowing someone.
Depending on the situation, very flexible.
But Yang Ye knew that when Wang Zuxian said "I love you", he was really confessing to him.
After being confessed by the alluring girl, who was still the girl he liked, Yang Ye felt his heartbeat speed up.
At this time, everyone was cheering, and Wang Zuxian left the stage with a red face.
Looking at Wang Zuxian who "ran away", Yang Ye suddenly thought of a big trouble.
Originally, helping Wang Zuxian cheat was a bit screwed up, but now that Wang Zuxian confessed like this, Yang Ye's manipulation of the Hong Kong Academy Awards was almost thrown into stone.
