Chapter 772 The First Academy Awards (Part 1)

Selling tickets and letting wealthy people come to watch the ceremony was also Yin Jun's idea for Wen Jun.

In the previous life of Hong Kong, the previous Academy Awards were somewhat reserved, but later on, when there was no more funds and no way to continue, they quietly packed in some celebrities who came in through donations at the back of the venue. , to increase income.

They were secretive at first, but it wasn't until someone exposed them later that they were embarrassed to admit it.

Yin Jun asked Wen Jun to sell some high-priced tickets from the beginning. Anyway, for such a big event, you, an outsider, want to come and watch celebrities for a few hours. How can you do it without paying for the counting of tickets?

The price can't be cheaper anymore.

Depending on the location, the price ranges from 1,000-10,000.

Perhaps because the price was too high, only about 200 people bought tickets this time, and not even half of the seats upstairs were full.

But Wen Jun did not lower the price because of this, because Yin Jun told him that once the price of many things is reduced, it will be difficult to maintain its shape. As long as the Academy Awards get better and better in the future, the number of people who come will naturally become more and more popular. Come more and more, don’t worry at all.

Many critics disagreed with this decision of the Academy Awards. However, considering that the Academy Awards can better maintain its fairness, everyone clamored for a while, and then they acquiesced.

Anyway, the Academy Awards are made by others. The most important thing is that there is no shady story, and the rest is not important.

Moreover, these rich people are relatively far away from the rich men and ladies. They did not have any contact with the celebrities during the whole process, and they just acted as spectators.

Seeing such a luxurious award stage, even the rich kids and wealthy people who had seen a lot of the world were amazed by it. They suddenly felt that they had spent so much money on something - with such a good layout, everything was right under their feet. Stepping on a group of big stars, what else can you ask for? Only those idiots who are reluctant to part with money cannot enjoy this kind of scenery!

Amid everyone's admiration, the four emcees, who had changed into formal attire, stood in front of the stage again.

Anyone with a little knowledge can see that as they walk from the left and right sides, the lights follow, the stage light and dark changes, etc. are all natural and bright, which is very refreshing.

Shao Yifu nodded unconsciously. This Yin Jun was really willing to spend money!

With his status as Shao Yifu, he could actually have done this award a long time ago, but he disliked that doing awards requires a lot of energy, and it cannot make money like the Miss Hong Kong contest, and it can also bring him a lot of female star embryos, so Never done it.

Now that Yin Jun has done it and invited him to be the award guest, Shao Yifu doesn't feel unhappy at all.

This is the first time in this life that Yin Jun has sat at the Academy Awards ceremony. Although today's awards ceremony is inferior to those in his memory, whether it is the decoration of the stage or the strength of the cast, Quite a few, but this time it is the Academy Awards held by myself, and it is the first one, so the meaning is different.

In their thoughts, several emcees on the stage, led by Chen Baixiang, spoke their opening remarks for a while, and without any nonsense, they began to award awards one after another.

Award ceremonies and variety shows are different.

Variety shows can be hilarious, but award ceremonies in China tend to be serious. If you make too many jokes, no one will know you offended.

Even at the Academy Awards after 2010, which have become so mature, there are incidents where the emcee often offends people.

Therefore, in order for the first awards show to go more smoothly and be more accepted by people, Yin Jun asked Chen Baixiang to just make some innocuous jokes, and not to overly tease the guests or award-winners.

Chen Baixiang naturally obeyed Yin Junyan, but he knew how powerful Yin Jun was. Although he was older, in his heart, Yin Jun was a master of the godfather level of entertainment.

"Now we have the first award presenter to announce the winner of the first Best Original Music Award." Wei Qiuhua said sweetly on the stage, "We have the famous director Mr. Li Hanxiang!"

The guests who came to present the awards today are all famous people in the Hong Kong film industry.

The reason why we did not choose the combination of a previous winner and a handsome guy or a beautiful female star like in later generations is because we want to highlight the authority of the award.

It is no problem for Li Hanxiang to be the presenter. He is very experienced and has made great achievements. Although he doesn't make many films in the Hong Kong film industry now, no one can ignore him.

Li Hanxiang stepped onto the stage dressed in a suit.

He was secretly negotiating in the Mainland for the filming of The Legend of Cixi, and the talks were almost complete. Now he is back to Xiangjiang to celebrate the New Year, and he is very happy to be captured by Yin Jun.

"Good evening everyone. I am very happy to be the presenter of the first award of the first Hong Kong Film Awards. This is an honor that will go down in history! I would like to thank the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee for giving me this honor." Li Hanxiang came on stage and praised a few words before turning back to look at the IMAX giant screen, "Let me see what good original film music has been selected."

As he spoke, the huge screen, which was pitch black just now, immediately flashed with the projection in the distance. First, a beautiful full-body portrait of an Academy Award-winning beauty was revealed, and then it turned into a ball of golden light. filled the entire screen, before the images and names of the four nominated films appeared.

Guan Zhilin, who was sitting below with Wen Bixia, was smiling from ear to ear, and many people looked at her with complicated eyes.

Everyone knows that the beauty statue for the Academy Award was made according to the figure and appearance of Miss Guan.

A hundred years from now, perhaps no one will be able to remember the Best Actor and Best Actress of the Academy Awards, but her name, Kwan Chi-Lin, will live on forever with the Academy Awards.

Wen Bixia snorted in her heart, which meant that she was still young, otherwise she would have begged Brother Jun to add her figure and appearance.

Wen Bixia didn't care much about these vanities. What she cared more about was whether Yin Jun had her in his heart.

On an IMAX screen, small icons of four movies appeared side by side at the same time. This still seemed a bit high-tech in Hong Kong in 1981. After all, this technology would only gradually become more popular as the technology in the 1990s became more popular. Into the ordinary TV effect.

IMAX is certainly not an ordinary giant screen. It has a lot of high-end technologies, and the way of arranging small icons at the same time is one of them.

After the icon appeared, a rich baritone narration began.

"Theme song of "Small Town Story": "Small Town Story", written by Yin Jun. This theme song has the same name as the movie's name. It has a fresh and sweet style, full of memories and joy..."

"Interlude of "Original Man": "Original Man", written by Weng Qingxi, is a song full of frustration and unyielding spirit. It is a description of the life of the protagonist Zhong Lihe..."

"The theme song of "Coming on the Waves"..."

"Interlude of "Modern Countryman"..."

After the explanation was finished, Li Hanxiang smiled and picked up the envelope in his hand, opened it, looked up and said with a smile: "The winner is "Small Town Story", Yin Jun!"

"Pa bang bang..."

A group of filmmakers, whether sincerely or not, all cheered and clapped.

The wealthy young men and wealthy ladies upstairs whistled and screamed Yin Jun's name.

In their view, you can't even be jealous of a genius like Yin Jun who is self-made and full of talent. You can only regard him as an idol.

Although Yin Jun expected that he would win the award, he did not expect that the first award would be his.

After standing up, Yin Jun quickly walked onto the stage, shook hands with Li Hanxiang and hugged him, and then received the Academy Award trophy.

Li Hanxiang retreated to the back and gave up all the lights on the stage to Yin Jun.

The young man stood in front of the microphone and looked at the hundreds of celebrities and audiences below. He smiled first and then said: "To be honest, I'm not used to so many people looking at me..."

"Ha ha!"

There was another burst of laughter from below.

Everyone in Xiangjiang knows about Yin Jun's habit, otherwise he wouldn't have been famous for so long, and he only showed his face when Kylin TV was established.

"Thank you all the judges for giving me this award, thank you for the encouragement you gave me. Thank you also to Miss Teresa Teng who lives in the United States. It is your wonderful performance that makes "Small Town Story" so popular and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yin Jun said a few words politely at first, but then he showed his sharpness: "But I also know that I deserve this award! I hope that every award in the Academy Awards in the future will be like this." No controversy, thank you!”

After saying this, Yin Jun walked to the back, preparing to step off the stage and return to his seat.

But his last few words made people unable to react.

Isn’t it right to be humble and grateful? Why are you so high-profile all of a sudden?

In the silence, a young man's roar rang out from upstairs.

"Young Master Jun, you are too arrogant!!"

Hearing this, the people upstairs laughed first, and then the stars downstairs were infected. The laughter became more and more, and the atmosphere immediately changed from dull to enthusiastic.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yin Jun, the founder of the Academy Awards, is also expressing his expectations for the Academy Awards in the future!

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions softened.

With the episode of Yin Jun's speech, for the next few awards, the winners were somewhat conservative and did not dare to make any shocking remarks.

The best action design was naturally won by "The Golden Sword Heroine". Mr. Chuck was delighted to win the award and achieved a double harvest in "The Golden Sword Heroine".

The best editing award went to the most controversial film "Mountain Dog". When Yu Yunchang came on stage, he just bowed and thanked a few words before leaving the stage, for fear of causing further trouble to the jury.

When presenting this award, Zou Wenhuai also chuckled and said: "You can't tell, this group of people still have a lot of backbone! They have not been swayed by outside comments!"

"Have you voted?" Yin Jun asked in a low voice.

"What about you?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

Both of them are senior figures in the Hong Kong film industry and are naturally members of the jury with voting rights.

Yin Jun nodded.

Zou Wenhuai smiled when he saw this, "What a coincidence, so do I."

The conversation between the two could not be hidden from Shao Yifu next to him. He coughed lightly and said, "I don't like this kind of movie, but he did a good job."

Hey!

Yin Jun smiled and suddenly understood that Shao Yifu also voted in favor!

Too.

Just as Yin Jun thought before, people who make movies are a group of stubborn people.

It is impossible for them to follow the wishes of these people just because of what the newspapers and public opinion say.

On the contrary, going against the opinions of the public is what they like to do.

In the past and future Academy Awards, the films and filmmakers nominated every time were not the most popular among the public, but they still happily did it.

This has resulted in less and less attention year after year, and people dislike the Academy Awards more and more year after year.

It's very simple.

As long as the King of Sunglasses comes out and as long as Wai Tsai and Manyu are in his movies, who can win the Best Director, Best Film, and Best Actor and Actor?

Is there such a thing as a fart to see and a fart to compete with?
