Chapter 554: Shining at the Golden Horse Awards (Part 2)
Zeng Zhiwei, who is short, fat and looks silly, is definitely a good warm-up player.
Although his voice is hoarse and hoarse, it does not affect his ability to easily make the guests laugh with words.
As a legend among Hong Kong Island comedians, Zeng Zhiwei has hosted the Golden Horse Awards for the first time, and he can be said to be familiar with it.
Under his leadership, his daughter Zeng Baoyi, who is already developing in the hosting industry, also easily entered the state.
Wu Yuan sat in the audience, watching the father and daughter on the stage with a smile on his face. He seemed to be very supportive, but in fact he was moving his lips slightly and complaining to Liu Yifei in a low voice.
"Xixi, if it is not necessary, try to stay away from these older generation artists in Hong Kong Island and keep a distance from them."
"Ah? Why?" Liu Yifei asked with some surprise, covering her mouth.
"Many mainland actors think that if they are on the list of these old Hong Kong artists, they can get help from their connections and resources, so they try to get close to them. As a result, most of them are played by them for nothing and threatened with nude photos."
"Most of the artists who came out of Hong Kong in the 1980s were involved in Hong Kong gangs."
"They can be popular and make a name for themselves in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, so their background is not clean, so they are naturally unscrupulous."
"Except for a few people like Louis Koo, Andy Lau, and Rong Cheung who are self-disciplined and have artistic ethics, most of the old Hong Kong artists are not both virtuous and artistic, and they are good at eating, drinking, gambling, and playing with women."
"It's best to have less contact with them."
But he has a lot of fun behind the scenes, holding yacht parties every day. He and his group of friends in the circle take all kinds of Hong Kong models and third- and fourth-tier celebrities to the sea on yachts to hold parties. He knows what kind of party it is.
To be honest, Wu Yuan was not indignant about this. It was a matter of mutual consent.
But he did not want his girlfriend to have contact with the old hooligans in the Hong Kong circle. Even if they had ten guts, they would not dare to provoke Wu Yuan's woman.
"Huh" Liu Yifei showed obvious disgust on her face, but when the camera turned around, she quickly controlled herself.
"I remember that when Brother Cheng Long was filming "Kingsman", he also talked to me about it. He said that the Hong Kong circle was full of smoke and asked me to have less contact with people in the Hong Kong circle."
"That's the reason." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded.
Cheng Long's personal morality was not much better, but compared with the so-called "seniors" in the Hong Kong circle who really ate, drank, whored and gambled, Cheng Long had no other problems except that he could not control his lower body. It can only be said that they were all set off by their peers.
So Wu Yuan was willing to cooperate with him, and Cheng Long was a very measured person, and he really worked hard for the Chinese film industry. His strengths far outweighed his weaknesses, otherwise he would not have once become a national image representative and one of China's business cards.
It's a pity that his son is not very good.
"The winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award is——!"
"Congratulations! "Better Days", Wu Yuan!"
Huh? !
Just as Wu Yuan was whispering with Liu Yifei, a burst of warm applause suddenly rang out. Hearing his name, Wu Yuan raised his head blankly.
The Best Original Screenplay Award is here?
Looking at the smiling faces around him congratulating him, Wu Yuan subconsciously put on a business smile on his face, and calmly stood up and waved to the guests around him and the audience in the distance to thank him.
If you want to say that the most promising and least suspenseful award for "Better Days" at this year's Golden Horse Awards is the Best Original Screenplay Award.
It's not that "Better Days" is so good that it beats all the nominees, but the screenwriter of this script is called Wu Yuan.
The most criticized thing about the last Golden Horse Awards was the "sharing of pork". Feng Xiaogang, who participated in the Golden Horse Awards last year, opened fire again, blasting the Golden Horse Awards for being unfair. He did not give his wife Xu Fan the Best Actress Award because the last Golden Horse Best Actor Award was given to Ruan Jingtian. In order to balance, the Golden Horse Best Actress Award must be given to a mainland actress.
But among the mainland actresses nominated for Best Actress in the last session, Teacher Lv Liping has much more experience than Xu Fan, so this award was naturally given to Xu Fan.
Feng Xiaogang was naturally very dissatisfied with the seniority-based pork division.
Because "Aftershock" is better than Lv Liping's "Cool Youth" in terms of word of mouth and box office performance, and its influence is even more incomparable.
If this matter were to be spread to Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan would also be dissatisfied and disappointed with the Golden Horse's pork division.
But if he was the one who was given the pork, it would be different.
Given Wu Yuan's status and influence in the industry, if he is nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Award, the Golden Horse Awards will definitely give him the award.
After all, "Better Days" is unlikely to be awarded the Best Film and Best Director, and it is too difficult to win the Best Actress Award. If this award is not given to him, it will be a bit unreasonable, and it will be difficult to accept it.
Therefore, Wu Yuan has long been prepared to win the award. Although he was chatting with Liu Yifei and did not pay attention to the award ceremony at the scene, he was still calm when he heard his name being read out. After standing up and waving his hands to thank him, he strode onto the podium and took the trophy from the award presenter.
"Thank you everyone."
"Is this my third or fourth time to come to the Golden Horse Awards?"
Holding the trophy in his hand, Wu Yuan leaned close to the microphone and smiled and teased: "Every time I come to the Golden Horse Awards, I can win an award. The organizing committee and judges really favor me too much."
"As one of the highest halls of the Chinese-language film industry, I am really happy to receive the Golden Horse Award. This not only represents the Golden Horse's recognition of me personally, but also proves the rise of mainland films."
"I still remember that when I first came to the Golden Horse Awards, there were not many crews from the mainland, only me and Director Feng Xiaogang."
"Now it is different. Nearly half of the films nominated for the Golden Horse Awards this year are from the mainland, or have mainland actors in the film."
"This situation is more worthy of happiness than my personal winning of the Best Screenwriter Award."
"Mainland films are booming, and Hong Kong and Taiwan films are still excellent, with a constant stream of high-quality works. This kind of flourishing Chinese-language film industry is what we Chinese-language film practitioners expect to see."
"I hope the Golden Horse Awards will get better and better, and I also hope that our Chinese-language films will get better and better, and more good original Chinese-language film scripts will emerge in the future!"
"Thank you again to the organizing committee and the jury for giving me this award!" (End of this chapter)
