Chapter 1115 Busy Days

While Yin Jun was busy working on "The Shawshank Redemption", Xiangjiang was also busy.

The first is the announcement ceremony of the second Hong Kong Film Awards.

Compared with the first one last year, Guan Shan and Wen Jun made it more lively this year. Not only was it broadcast by Kylin TV, but the red carpet ceremony also became more formal.

Celebrities and actors from all walks of life dressed in beautiful clothes and competed on the red carpet. Thousands of fans cheered and screamed, and the whole atmosphere was very lively.

Regarding the award itself, there are many variables.

There were so many excellent films in Hong Kong last year.

Commercial blockbusters include "Speed", "Red Zone", "The Best Partner", "Mr. Zombie", "Modern Bodyguard", "The Young Boys", "The Golden Guard", etc., which have received huge box office reviews. .

In terms of literary and artistic films, there are also films such as "Hu Yue's Story", "Prison Storm", "A Can's Job", and "The Last Emperor Puyi".

In addition, Baodao and Singapore also had many films selected. However, this time, none of the film crews of the Baodao films that were nominated came to Hong Kong. The reason was naturally because the relationship between Yin Jun and Baodao was not good. Don't dare to come either.

But it doesn't matter. The awards should be given to them, and they will not be shy like the Academy Awards. They have agreed that this is a film selection in the Chinese speaking circle, so they will not be self-reliant and only play the Hong Kong film side.

Of course, Baodao's films are, at best, successful in terms of literary films, but in terms of commercial performance, they are still inferior.

The more movies there are to choose from, the more attention the Hong Kong Film Awards will receive.

The ratings of this award ceremony have increased dramatically, reaching 27%. In other words, at least about 300,000 viewers watched the entire award show.

Because the advantages and disadvantages are so obvious, there is actually not much suspense about this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

Chow Run-fa, who went to the United States, rushed back overnight to attend the award ceremony. As expected, he did not return empty-handed. He won the Best Actor for "Prison"; and his partner Liang Jiahui also rushed back from the mainland to receive the award. Best Supporting Actor Award.

But what disappoints Lin Lingdong is that the best director award actually went to Lin Zhengying, who made "Mr. Zombie".

You said it would make sense if it was Xu Anhua, a master of literary films, but it was actually a director of zombie movies, and it was Lin Zhengying who was the director for the second time. It was an inexplicable blow to him. .

The Best Actress award was won by Zhong Chuhong of "The Story of Hu Yue". Zhong Chuhong, who has been involved in literary films for two consecutive years, finally won the recognition of the Academy Award.

At the same time, "The Story of Hu Yue" also won the honor of best film, and Xu Anhua continued her reputation as an "award-winning professional".

The winner of the best action direction was "Jinyiwei", the winner of the best sound effect and best special effects was "Speed ​​of Life and Death", Cheng Long's "Red Zone" unfortunately did not win any awards.

Yin Jun couldn't help but feel funny when he heard Zhou Runfa come back and talk about it.

Cheng Long has a typical feud with the Hong Kong Film Awards. In more than 40 years, he has not won the Best Actor Award once.

According to Yin Jun, Cheng Long can actually win the Academy Award for Best Actor several times.

For example, "Red Zone" was the first film to break out of Hong Kong.

For example, "Police Story" is a film that pioneered the fashion police film and witnessed Cheng Long's peak action.

There is also the amazing "Drunken Master 2". Cheng Long played Huang Feihong vividly, especially the last action scene, which was so heart-pounding that he was definitely qualified to win the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Unfortunately, it can only be said that the Academy Awards in the previous life had gone too far in the end.

It seems to regard "rejecting Cheng Long" as its signature, claiming to the world that it does not care about big names or big brothers. We are a fair and impartial selection organization. Otherwise, how could Cheng Long never win an award?

Even Zhou Xingchi got it with "Kung Fu", but Cheng Long just couldn't get it.

You know, Cheng Long is the only Chinese actor to win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award!

In addition to the Academy Awards, the second season of "Hong Kong Idol" has also begun official auditions.

Because it has to cooperate with the launch of Kylin TV's all-Asia broadcast in June, the audition time this time is very long and will basically not be completed until May. Moreover, after entering the top 64, they will go through a period of training before they can compete in June. The official elimination round begins.

With the success of the first season, the auditions for the second season are not so unknown.

Especially with the amazing achievements of "American Idol", "Hong Kong Idol" has become even more famous.

Thousands of young and middle-aged people came from all over the world to participate in the auditions for "Hong Kong Idol", including many young people from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and other places.

Due to the large number of people, the original eight registration audition points suddenly became 16. The audition required more than 16 hours a day, and sometimes the work was not finished until 9 o'clock in the evening.

The three judges, Huang Zhan, Xu Guanjie and Fei Zhenling, were exhausted just sitting around.

Fortunately, they are not in a hurry now, and the entire audition period lasts for 3 months. Otherwise, in addition to listening to the songs, they would also have to make the quickest judgment on the spot. This would be even more stressful and would consume a lot of energy. more.

Even so, they also felt that they had consumed too much. This time, it was much harder than the first season last time.

That's the price of fame.

This is the phenomenon of a variety show becoming popular.

Even a person as timid as Xu Guanjie would be reluctant to leave in such a tiring situation, let alone Huang Zhan, who has now found his second spring in "Hong Kong Idol".

But Huang Zhan, a money-grubbing old man, was not a vegetarian. He simply used "it was too hard" as an excuse and asked Kylin TV to increase the judges' remuneration for the three of them to 4 million Hong Kong dollars in one go, compared with the previous 200. Twice as many as ten thousand!

Regarding this, neither Liu Tianci nor Liang Shuyi has anything to hold grudges. The advertising fee of "Hong Kong Idol" has more than doubled compared to last year. In total, it has exceeded 100 million, accounting for the entire advertising fee. The annual advertising fee is more than one-seventh of the total. In order to make the program better, it is only natural to give the three souls a salary increase.

However, Fei Zhenling was also lucky. Originally, this salary increase should be credited to Teresa Deng, but Teresa Deng no longer participated, and she was replaced by Fei Zhenling, so Huang Zhan also fought for her together. A reward of 3 million was received.

Fei Zhenling was not short of money, but he was naturally very happy to earn a large sum of money for no reason.

It is worth mentioning that in this season of "Hong Kong Idol", Liu Tianci boldly joined an auxiliary host to participate as Zong Paulo's assistant.

He is Fei Zhenling's younger brother Fei Xiang.

During the Thanksgiving Tour Concert before the Spring Festival, Fei Xiang acted as the host for some shows. Although the hosting effect was not as good as that of the gold medal emcee Zong Paul, after practicing a few times, he was able to try to tell some jokes and be lively. The atmosphere and the extremely proficient Mandarin made the audience from other places listen very well, and of course they were praised by Chen Shufen.

The manager of the variety show is Liu Tianci. Yin Jun has already told him that he will open a talk show for Fei Xiang in the future, similar to American talk shows, so Liu Tianci thought that he might as well let him experience more big scenes now. , exercise more, so he was pushed to such an important stage.

Fei Xiang's first task is to travel to various audition sites and host every audition he can.

As the ace emcee of "Hong Kong Idol", Paul Zong is not needed. He only needs to start his own hosting work during the rematch.

For Fei Xiang, such hosting was too cumbersome and hard work. When he returned to the rented apartment, he naturally complained a lot to his sister, but Fei Zhenling went to Japan for such a long experience. Of course, Knowing that Kylin TV was cultivating him and trying to get him to participate and improve as much as possible, he carefully analyzed the reasons why Kylin TV did this.

The sentence that impressed Fei Xiang the most was, "Do you think they would have to torture you like this if it wasn't for you to take on greater responsibilities in the future? Mr. Yin Jun has never been this kind of person! When they get more When you are tortured, it will be more difficult for you. As long as you survive it, you are good, otherwise you can only go back to the treasure island to stay in one-third of an acre."

Yes.

Although the area of ​​Baodao is much larger than that of Xiangjiang, in terms of the degree of internationalization of the city, the importance of the port location, and the development of entertainment industry, they are not as good as Xiangjiang.

This is true whether it was twenty years ago or twenty years later.

Since the place is small, all kinds of actions are naturally much more flexible, and transformation will be very fast. This is not only an important reason for the rapid development of Xiangjiang, but also an important reason why Singapore can become one of the four Asian Tigers and even have greater development. .

Fei Xiang is not a very ambitious person, but as a young man, he still wants to have a career.

After hearing what his sister said, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to hold on for a while. If it didn't work anymore, it wouldn't be too late to quit.

After all, as my sister said, if there is no hard work, how can you become a talent that others cannot match?

As a result, Fei Xiang acted as a go-getter, hosting one event in the morning, another in the afternoon, and sometimes working overtime at night.

Liu Tianci was a little frightened and told him to take a rest and not to work so hard. Anyway, the host of the audition does not need to be so professional. Any reporter can make a guest appearance.

Fei Xiang is not the hardest worker either.

Even the guest judges are not the hardest.

The hardest part is the camera crews who rush to various audition sites.

Just like last year, they are responsible for editing and synthesizing the various interesting audition clips collected every day, and making them into clips one by one. After comparing and archiving, they can wait for the behind-the-scenes to be played later.

Fortunately, Kylin TV now has more camera crews. Those who shoot during the day are considered one team, and those who work overtime at night are considered one team. Otherwise, processing hundreds of hours of material every day would simply drive the film crew crazy.

Therefore, any program that seems interesting to the audience actually contains the hard work of many staff members.

It is their efforts that turned what was originally an inconspicuous program into a very interesting scene for all of us to see.

This is the persistence of TV people and the unique charm of TV art!
