Chapter 733: The first sister is crowned queen, Yangzhou is a thin horse
To Qifeng, the head of Galaxy and a great director in Hong Kong, can be said to be a banner of Hong Kong films.
Putting aside the "Black Snake Club" series, movies produced by Galaxy Image in the early years, such as "The Birth of a Prefix", "Dark Flower", "Dark War", "Gunfire" and other movies.
All are excellent products.
It's just that time abandons a person without even saying hello.
Sir Du, who has moved closer to the mainland in recent years, failed to grasp the pulse of the mainland film market and failed in several consecutive projects.
A film I produced this year, "A Big Tree Catches the Wind," was screened in Cannes. However, it was rejected from being submitted for review in the Mainland, and its release is far from expected.
Zhou Yutang was chatting with the mountain eagle, and occasionally heard him mention that Du Qifeng was possessed.
The background of the movie is set on the eve of the return of China, and it is adapted from the criminal experiences of the three thieves Zhang Ziqiang, Ye Jihuan, and Ji Bingxiong.
It directly touches on the corruption problem in the mainland.
This is not a covert attack, but a blatant step on the head. It would be strange if it can pass the trial
The people in the audience were still chatting and were in a very relaxed state.
The two award-presenting guests on the stage, the full-time female stock god Zhao Yanzi and Thirteenth Sister came on stage together, chatted for a few words, and soon announced the winner of the Best Newcomer:
"The winner of this year's Newcomer Award is Bai Zhi from "Traveling in Blood to Seek Plum Blossoms"."
The first award was announced tonight, and the atmosphere gradually became different.
Zhou Yutang applauded along with Guo Tianwang and others around him.
This kid who was a little excited was a stage actor, and he was also the murderer Ding Zicong in "Blood and Plum Blossoms" who almost left a psychological shadow on Shi Shi.
His acting skills are good, and he is considered one of the best among the younger generation in Hong Kong.
Next, the best new director went to Xu Chengyi, the father of Shrek.
Regardless of how the box office came about, "Monster Hunt" has been a huge success in the mainland. This is an indisputable fact.
Boss Jiang has been standing in the entertainment industry for decades and can be regarded as the BOSS in Hong Kong. In terms of background, he is not comparable to Boss Shi.
There are also leftover awards such as costumes and editing, and the winners are very happy. After all, mosquito legs are also meat, and it is better to have honors than to leave empty-handed.
"Shi Shi, are you nervous?"
Tang Wei, the goddess of literary and artistic films who had just officially announced her pregnancy, was very enthusiastic. Seeing that her body was indeed plumper, Liu Shishi responded with a gentle smile: "Sister Tang Wei, I'm okay. It would be great if I can get nominated."< br>
"That's not necessarily the case."
Tang Wei smiled meaningfully: "I think you have a good chance."
The two boasted about each other's beauty and temperament in business, and the award presenter on the stage announced the fairly important award for Best Supporting Actor.
Tonight Zhang Jing from the Jiangdong series was also nominated for Zhang Tianzhi in "Ip Man 3", but he lost again to Bai Zhi from "Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms".
So far, Bai Zhi has won the "Best New Actor" and "Best Supporting Actor" awards, which is a rare scene at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Next, for Best Supporting Actress, Gong Huang, who gave a wonderful performance in "Manslaughter", was also nominated, but she was not present due to schedule conflicts.
The award finally went to Jin Yanling for "Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms".
The latter is a veteran actor from Bay Province and plays Wang Jiamei's mother Meifeng.
This year's "On Blood" received 13 nominations, making it the film with the most nominations at the Academy Awards. It really has the momentum to sweep the world.
The Koto series produced several movies and received a lot of nominations, but they kept running with them until "The Three Evils" won the best action design.
Outside the live broadcast of Station B, the barrage has gradually become more lively,
"Damn, it's finally open!"
"The Governor is awesome! Dong Wei is awesome!"
"In addition to selling meat floss cakes, Dong Xiaosa also makes action movies?"
"It's so funny. This is Xiangjiang Wu Zhi. He has collaborated with the Governor in many movies."
"What's ahead are just appetizers. There are still many nominations, so don't rush."
Dong Wei has been a frequent visitor to the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards in recent years. In his acceptance speech, he also emphatically thanked Zhou Yutang.
There are many excellent martial arts instructors like him in Xiangjiang, but not everyone can join Ma Jiangdong's project. To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang can be regarded as his talent.
After the best action design, "Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms" once again won the best photography and best screenplay.
"Is this going to be a sweep?"
Everyone at the scene applauded, buzzed with comments, and all looked sideways.
Five out of thirteen were mentioned, and this has not yet reached the big prizes that will come later.
The hosting style of Liu Qingyun, an enthusiastic citizen, was slightly in contrast to his usual serious and simple image. He made jokes on the stage, and the atmosphere of the award ceremony was not bad.
But something unexpected happened after all. The duration of the entire awards ceremony was fixed.
However, there are several award-winning guests who cherish words like gold and only have a few words in their speeches, so the host can only make up for this part of the time by adapting to the situation and expressing freely.
The award-winning guests for Best Actor were big-mouthed beauties Shu Qi and Chen Kexing.
Tonight, Shu Qi was wearing a one-shoulder dress. She looked bright and sexy. She deliberately said in a relatively exaggerated tone: "Wow, these movie stars today are so amazing."
Film clips from several nominees were shown on the big screen.
The classic clip of Guo Tianwang, Zha Zhahui, Liu Tianwang, singer Zhang Xueyou, and Zhou Yutang carrying a gun and killing people in a church.
The camera quickly scanned the nominees and finally settled on Zhou Yutang's face.
This is the magic of the performance. In the movie, Chen Guilin was a murderous man, but now he is a gentle, peaceful and handsome young man.
The singer Zhang Xueyou suddenly sat up straight, Liu Dehua couldn't hide the look of hope on his face, Guo Tianwang's throat was shaking, and his breathing was even faster.
Zha Zhahui probably knew that he had little hope, but he was calm. Zhou Yutang also had a face as calm as a lake and a relaxed attitude.
Big-mouth beauties Shu Qi and Chen Kexin introduced several winners on the stage and made a few jokes. Shu Qi pretended to look at the time and made a joke: "It's almost time. Did we talk for too long?"
"It should be."
"I guess everyone can't wait for the answer to be revealed."
"Let us find out."
Chen Kexing opened the envelope and handed it to the big-mouthed beauty Shu Qi. The latter did not show off and read out slowly:
"The winner of the Best Actor is Aaron Kwok for "Blood Seeking Plum Blossoms", congratulations."
In the warm applause, after a brief period of confusion, Aaron Kwok, who was so excited, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from his seat.
Zhou Yutang stood up gracefully, shook hands with him and hugged him.
Including the remaining nominees, they all smiled and sent congratulations.
If it were said that Captain Zhou, who had just debuted, made a blockbuster success and won the Academy Award for Best Actor, he was the only one chosen by heaven.
Then Guo Tianwang is undoubtedly a hidden old unlucky guy.
He once won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with "Sanchakou" and "Father and Son", but only won the Academy Award.
Nominated many times and accompanied every time.
The last time I was nominated for the Academy Awards was in 2010, when I lost to Simon Yam of "The Thief of Time".
This year is his fifth nomination for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
As for Guo Tianwang, he probably dreamed of this award, but today he finally got his wish, and he was so excited that he choked with tears.
After calming down a little, Guo Tianwang still had a high emotional intelligence. He mentioned Zhou Yutang and did not ignore the other nominees, which won the applause of the whole room.
However, netizens who watched the live broadcast at Station B felt sorry for Zhou Yutang,
"It's a pity that the boss has a chance to win the Best Actor Award twice."
"Forget it if you win the Academy Award. I'm looking forward to Dadudu competing in Europe's top three and the Oscars."
"'Zhou Chu' still suffers from the subject matter. Guo Tianwang's film is adapted from a real case of 'a compensated dating girl was killed and dismembered'. It seems to have hit the G-spot of this year's judges."
"Please, there are not many awards left. Is there any chance of counterattack?"
Netizens were talking a lot, and Liu Shishi turned to look at Zhou Yutang, with comfort in his eyes.
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and looked at her gently.
With his current status, it doesn't matter whether he wins this award or not.
I came to Hong Kong in advance not to enjoy the beautiful view of Victoria Harbor and the moon, but just to see my sweetheart in front of me.
After the Best Actor awards, it’s time for Best Actress.
The presenters were Cheng Pei-bi and Leung Ka-fai, both of whom are veterans of the Hong Kong film industry.
Needless to say, Tony Leung Ka-fai, the movie king with a thousand faces, but Zheng Pei-bi became famous before Leung Ka-fai.
As early as the 1960s and 1970s, she was the leading actress of Shaw Brothers. At the age of 19, she collaborated with director King Wu to star as Jin Yanzi in China's first new martial arts film "The Drunken Man".
She was rated as the martial arts queen by the press and enjoyed unlimited fame.
Not only is she a chivalrous heroine in the play, but she is also like this in life.
Knowing that there was a problem with the duration of tonight's award ceremony, the two deliberately chatted a few more words. Zheng Bibiao said: "Just backstage, my daughter sent me a message asking me if she could have a signed photo of President Zhou. She is the most popular A loyal fan, I just finished watching "Qing Yu Nian 3" and am watching Jiangdong's new drama "Signal"."
Liang Jiahui continued: "I have been fortunate enough to work with Mr. Zhou many times. I believe there is no need to talk too much about his achievements. Among the next works for the Best Actress, "The Tuner" is also a work produced and written by him. , Shi Shi’s performance is so wonderful.”
"Also Lin Jiaxin, Tang Wei and Miriam Yang."
"Karena Lam, "Dark Paradise""
"Tang Wei, "A Tale of Three Cities""
"Zhang Aijia, "Gorgeous Office Worker""
"Liu Shishi, "The Tuner""
"Miriam Yeung, "The Principal of Five Children"
The footage on the big screen showed film clips of the five best actresses.
"They are all wonderful works, and they are all excellent actors. Let us announce the final results. The winner of the Best Actress is"
After cooperating with Zheng Peibei to introduce several nominees, Liang Jiahui handed the envelope into her hand.
Zheng Peibao smiled kindly and continued: ""Tuner", Liu Shishi, congratulations Shishi."
Zhou Yutang was sitting in the audience with a relaxed expression and took the lead in applauding.
As if a certain switch was triggered, there was first a burst of exclamation and astonishment, followed by thunderous applause.
A clip of Liu Shishi's wonderful performance in "The Tuner" was shown on the big screen.
The camera showed images of several movie queen candidates at the same time.
Some people can't hide their disappointment, some force themselves to smile, and some are relieved.
As the winner, Liu Shishi quickly stood up from his seat after experiencing a brief surprise.
"Congratulations, Shi Shi."
"Thank you, Sister Tang Wei."
First, he gently hugged Tang Wei, the Best Actress candidate next to him, and then quickly reached Zhou Yutang's side.
Liu Shishi used all his strength to rub her into his arms.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly,
"One sister is awesome!"
"A perfect match is just one word, and I only say it once!"
"The atmosphere is here, why don't you kiss me?"
"Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me!"
"Spread flowers, the first Best Actress to win the Academy Award among the Eight-Five Flowers!"
Liu Shishi's fans were frantically swiping the screen, and there were also Jiangdong naval officers eating melons and joining in the fun.
Zhou Yutang gently put his palms on Liu Shishi's round shoulders and whispered in her ear. Only then did Liu Shishi realize that the hug lasted a bit too long. The host was still waiting for her on the stage. Slightly embarrassed, she walked onto the stage holding up her skirt. Zheng Bibi was holding a trophy in her hand.
A golden figure holds up a film-shaped trophy with both hands.
The simple style is a very high recognition and honor for domestic actresses.
This is the third consecutive year that a mainland actress has won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, following International Chapter's "The Grandmaster" and Zhao Yanzi's "Dear."
Among the Eight Five Flowers, Liu Tianxian was the first to be awarded the Golden Horse, and now Liu Shishi also has the honor of being the best among his contemporaries.
Everyone in the audience had different thoughts, but they gave him a fierce round of applause.
After Zheng Peihui hugged Liu Shishi on the stage, she encouraged her with a kind smile on her face: "Congratulations, Shishi."
The two have collaborated in "The Weaver Girl at the End of the World" and "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" and have a good relationship in private.
"Thank you, Mom."
Liu Shishi received the trophy and quickly calmed down his excitement: "Actually, I'm surprised to be standing here, and I didn't prepare an acceptance speech."
"But I have people to thank. First of all, Mr. Zhou Yutang. He found me for this drama. We have known each other for almost ten years. He really taught me a lot and helped me improve a lot."
"Please give me your advice in the future..."
As he spoke, Liu Shishi's eyes flickered and he stared in the direction of Yu Tang below the stage.
Right now.
The noise around her seemed to have all moved away from her and disappeared.
She knows that the career of an actor is not easy, and she also knows that her talent is not outstanding.
It was Zhou Yutang who painstakingly tailored this script for her.
This movie will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of her acting career.
After a pause, Liu Shishi continued: "I would also like to thank Director Cao Baoping, he is a very good director, and I would also like to thank all the crew members..."
"I will work harder in the future to bring you wonderful film and television works, thank you."
In terms of manners, Liu Shishi was very good at it. After a slight bow, Liu Shishi came off the stage with the trophy.
The camera followed her all the time, but it was a pity that it could not reveal the wonderful scene of passionately kissing the governor on the spot.
The entire "The Tuner" crew, including directors Cao Baoping and Wang Jianhui, were all present and sent their blessings.
After listening to Liu Shishi's acceptance speech, even Cai Yinong was a little moved and his palms turned red.
It's not that Liu Shishi is full of witty words and has great literary talent, but her most sincere emotions are contained in her simple words, which is undoubtedly very touching.
Touched and moved, Lao Cai was secretly anxious and gave Liu Shi a clever plan in advance. If he won the award, he would go big at the Academy Awards.
Let’s first confirm the location of the Grand Governor’s main palace.
But in actual operation, things gradually deviated from the planned track.
I hugged you, why didn’t you kiss me?
Why are you mentioning Cao Baoping?
Cai Yinong, who claimed to be smarter than Wolong, scratched his head anxiously, wishing he could play in the trumpet instead.
For everyone in the audience, it was a bit surprising that Liu Shishi won the Best Actress crown, and his acceptance speech was touching enough, but the focus of everyone's attention was still Zhou Yutang.
After listening to the first sister mentioned it, I suddenly remembered that it had only been ten years since Governor Zhou debuted, and he had already achieved such great achievements, which was simply unbelievable.
Including the barrages on the live broadcast website, it can be called an explosion at this time,
"I'm a little touched. The first sister and the governor have known each other for almost ten years?"
"Why don't you two just get married where you are, and I'll give you a little flower as a gift."
"Holding the grass, Zhou Yutang made his debut and became the richest man in the entertainment industry in just ten years?"
"Strictly speaking, less than ten years."
"The Governor is truly a man of God."
"Haha, the first sister was promoted by Governor Zhou, and she understands everything."
"."
The gifts in the live broadcast room quickly flooded the screen, and the barrage was so lively that it felt like the Chinese New Year.
There are spirited little lions, excited Jiangdong Marines, sour fans of other female celebrities, and even skewers and sunspots everywhere.
After the best actor and best actress awards were announced, the genius Xu Ke won the best director award for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". This is also the third time that Xu Ke has won this award.
The best film was "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils". Lao Mouzi had other schedules and was unable to come to the scene. Zhou Yutang took the podium for him, which was considered a reward.
The ceremony has come to an end. The biggest loser tonight is undoubtedly "Ip Man 3", which has recently been involved in box office turmoil in the Mainland.
The film was released in Hong Kong during the Lunar New Year last year and grossed HK$60.42 million at the Hong Kong local box office. It created a local box office miracle and received eight Academy Award nominations.
As a result, something unexpected happened, and the big boss behind the scenes ran away with the bucket. Tonight, "Ip Man 3" only scored one of the eight mentions, and won a consolation editing award.
During the backstage interview session at the end of the award ceremony, both the Hong Kong and mainland media were very excited - as long as Zhou Yutang was here, there would be enough exposure and topics.
Tonight, although Zhou Yutang did not win the Best Actor title again, the Jiangdong series won more awards overall than this year's popular "Blood and Plum Blossoms"!
Especially the last four awards, three of which were won by the Koto department.
This is not just half of the country under control, it is simply covering the sky with one hand.
After the award ceremony, a grand dinner was specially arranged, with lively entertainment indispensable.
Zeng Zhiwei brought his son over to toast and build relationships, but Zhou Yutang was a little surprised to see Ma Sixun behind Zeng Guoxiang.
Classmate Xiao Ma, who is at the peak of her appearance, is not inferior to Aunt Wenli when she was young. She has a quiet and well-behaved temperament. Now that she sees her, she always says hello,
"Long time no see. Is "July and Ansheng" finished?"
"Well, it just wrapped up last month."
Xiao Ma’s eyes were wide and his voice was soft, “Congratulations, Brother Yu Tang, you won a lot of awards tonight.”
Huh, Yu. Brother Yu Tang?
Zeng Zhiwei and his son looked at each other in awe.
Most people call him Mr. Zhou, and only those who are close to him will call Jiangdong Governor that way.
"I really envy Sister Shi Shi, she must be very happy tonight."
"Come on, you will have a chance in the future."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, chatting briefly with classmate Xiao Ma.
"Haha, I didn't expect Xiao Ma to be so familiar with Mr. Zhou."
He didn't interrupt until Zhou Yutang finished speaking, then Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "It's rare for Mr. Zhou to come to Xiangjiang. I'd like to toast you. From now on, I would like to ask Mr. Zhou for your guidance when working in the Mainland."
As he spoke, he directly lifted the red wine in the glass and drank it dry.
"If there is a chance, definitely."
Zhou Yutang nodded lightly and smiled at classmate Xiao Ma.
In the past, Aunt Wenli was keen on holding red threads, and the two of them chatted for a while, but there were too many fish in the fish pond to take care of them, and they gradually lost contact.
When Zeng Zhiwei returned, he whispered a few words in his son's ear. Zeng Guoxiang asked Ma Sixun with some curiosity: "Xiao Ma, are you familiar with Mr. Zhou?"
"Well, it's okay. I've been on his crew before."
Ma Sixun was talking to Zeng Guoxiang, but his eyes were uncontrollably cast on Zhou Yutang's tall back.
"Oh, I understand, I understand."
"Director Zeng."
Ma Sixun was a little embarrassed and said in a coquettish tone: "It's not what you think."
During the filming of "July and Ansheng", I followed the crew from south to north. We all got along with each other for several months, and we became friends.
"What do you think I want?"
Zeng Guoxiang thought of Zeng Zhiwei's words and laughed.
When he looked at her again, there was something different in his eyes.
This little princess of the northwest circle is really secretive. The governor of Jiangdong is famous for his romantic nature. Maybe these two people have a history.
Zhou Yutang is not very fond of Zeng Zhiwei.
This humble-looking dwarf is actually a smiling tiger who eats people without spitting out their bones.
If they are not on the same path, there is no possibility of cooperation.
King Guo's popularity is quite good, Qiu Shuzhen and her husband, Yang Qianhua's husband Ding Zigao and others all came to congratulate him.
Even Jian Min, the white fox-faced main character chosen by netizens, is here.
Zhou Yutang looked at her and saw that the beauty was aging, but it could be said that her charm was still there.
The proud King Guo would not refuse anyone who came to him for a drink.
He ran over and toasted Zhou Yutang three times, and now he took his old friend Zhang Zhilin and had a drink.
If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun!
The woman next to King Guo came to apologize on his behalf: "Mr. Zhou, Brother Cheng was too happy at night. He drank a little too much and was rude. Don't take offense."
Governor Zhou was famous for his magnanimity, so naturally he would not care about such trivial matters.
It's just that the Queen's Wife didn't leave even after she finished speaking. Instead, she revealed her identity as a fan and seemed a little too enthusiastic, which made Zhou Yutang a little wary.
He may not be able to understand what a woman is thinking, but he can always tell if a woman is approaching him with a purpose.
Although the Queen's sister-in-law acted like a fan through her skillful expressions and emotional expressions, Zhou Yutang still politely refused her request for a photo.
The Heavenly King's Wife didn't say much, she just smiled back, twisted her waist and left first.
However, Zhou Yutang always looked familiar to her, as if he had seen her somewhere before. After racking his brains, he finally remembered,
"Been on a dating show."
"?"
Ni Ni's beautiful eyes widened and she felt incredible: "Boss, can you remember this?"
The mobile phone in her hand was connected to Jiangdong's database, and it was easy to find the information about Tianwang's wife.
In 2009, I briefly worked as a graphic model, and later I actually participated in the "If You Are the One" dating show.
How did a small mainland model, who was not supposed to be associated with a big shot in the entertainment industry like Guo Tianwang, develop into the wife of a Tianwang?
"Training class for celebrities?"
Zhou Yutang heard this term for the first time.
The word "socialite" seems to give the impression that it represents delicacy and beauty.
She should wear fashionable and high-end clothing, a brand name, exquisite makeup, elegant temperament, and be decent and generous in words and deeds.
He attends various high-end social occasions and is visited by celebrities from all walks of life.
Zhou Yutang has naturally dealt with girls from well-known families, and he can't match this heavenly wife.
The ones he associates with are either Shuangliu, Tsing Yi beauties, Da Meiyuan, or Nazar, Reba, etc., but he has no contact with this type of woman.
It was inevitable to be curious at the moment, but after learning more about it, it was really eye-opening.
Now, there is actually a kind of training class for celebrities specifically targeting successful people in the industry.
How to do it?
The organizers have their own connections, plan lots of opportunities to meet the stars, and then there's the fishing.
This practice has been around since ancient times.
The old way of playing was called Yangzhou Skinny Horse.
