Chapter 553 Academy Awards
Hong Kong movies are called "Oriental Hollywood", and the Hong Kong Film Awards have become the most valued awards in the industry. Although each Hong Kong Film Awards has obvious geographical restrictions starting from the nomination list, before 2010, the Hong Kong Film Awards It is more popular and respected than the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
Mainland film and television circles should have stopped pursuing the Academy Awards since 2011 - "Let the Bullets Fly" did not win one!
It triggered a big debate!
A lot of people on Weibo questioned and the mainland director was unconvinced...
Then the people in Hong Kong said, ‘Think about it, if a movie like this that is popular in mainland China can receive so many nominations for our Academy Awards, doesn’t it mean that we recognize this movie very much? ’
It means ‘I should be grateful for your nomination! ’
Chen Jiashang simply made it clear that "selecting all Chinese-language films is not the responsibility of the Academy Awards. It is working hard for Hong Kong films. If there are no Hong Kong films, the Academy Awards will be meaningless.", "It is a service to Hong Kong. It’s just a small award from the film industry!”
What it means is: We are just petty, if you like to come you can come, if you don’t like to come then leave!
Then...everyone left!
It perfectly illustrates the preciousness of my broom, which is becoming increasingly unnoticed.
The Academy Awards have also slowly returned to their position as small awards.
However, at this stage, the Academy Awards are still quite attractive.
After all, mainland awards rarely encourage commercial films...
But business is king in the film market - at least there must be stars and actors that the audience knows who have been nominated. Who cares if there are a bunch of movies that have never been released?
At this year's Academy Awards, Golden Harvest's "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Manslaughter" and "The Tailor" were nominated for Best Picture and Best Director...
Jackie Chan and Director Chen were nominated for Best Actor, and Gong Li was nominated for Best Actress...
Sammo Hung ("Glory of the Tang Dynasty"), Tony Leung Ka-fai, Wu Zhenyu ("The Tailor") are nominated for supporting actor...
By the way, Tang Yan and Song Zuer were nominated for the Newcomer Award;
"Crazy Stone" was also nominated for Best Asian Film.
Of course, these are just nominations!
After reading this information, Shen Xudong immediately asked: "Is it possible for Jackie Chan to win the Best Actor?"
Zhong Lifang looked at Liang Fengying, who shook her head: "It's probably unlikely..."
"Sister Liang, does the Academy Award have a grudge against Jackie Chan? Jackie Chan, Hong Kong's number one film star, has never won the Best Actor award?"
"...The Academy Awards initially looked down on entertainment films..."
Shen Xudong was speechless: "Strange, isn't Zhou Runfa's movie an entertainment movie?"
Zhou Runfa has won the Best Actor Award three times: "A Better Tomorrow", "The Legend of Dragon Tiger", and "A Lang's Story". Except for "A Lang's Story" which is a bit more literary, the first two films are purely commercial films!
"They think Jackie Chan has no acting skills..."
"Bullshit!" Shen Xudong retorted directly: "Let's talk about the jumping scene in "Who Am I"? If you had found another actor to perform it in a high-rise building, you might have been scared to death! Jackie Chan can hide his fear You stand up, you move with ease, and you still have to speak to match the plot. Is this called having no acting skills?"
He has to completely hide his fear while making high-risk moves, making you feel that he is at ease. Isn't this called acting?
Sometimes I have to show off my tricks and be funny.
You have to say your lines while hanging from a high building, and you have to cooperate with the stunt team. If you don't pay attention, you will get a bloody head. Isn't this called acting?
"...Why are you telling me all this? I'm not a judge!"
"...I'll just complain!"
…
The Academy Awards are a major event in the Hong Kong film industry!
The date of this year's event is the 27th. As the time gets closer, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry is experiencing a rare harmony. The paparazzi no longer blindly report on Jiba. They return to the entertainment reporter business and interview the shortlisted stars.
Celebrities rarely engage in scandals and hype, and are serious and modest...
The guest list for this year’s awards includes dozens of big and small stars from South Korea, Taiwan, and Mainland China...
A lot of people came from the mainland!
Zhou Xun, Huo Tieyan, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Zhang Liangying, the latter appeared as a guest performer!
By the way, Zhao Benshan is here too...
Gong Li didn't come - she didn't even come to take promotional photos. She was filming "The Old Man" and didn't have time to come!
Then Hong Kong media broke the news: Gong Li's absence was due to pregnancy.
He even said he was Shen Xudong’s child!
What nonsense!
At the entrance of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, there were crowds of people. The railings on the side of the red carpet divided these people into three groups, forming an inverted triangle shape.
Fans holding Korean signs occupied the left and middle half of the inverted triangle. The photos on the signs showed that they came to support Kwon Sang Woo and Song Hye Kyo - the two award guests.
The other half in the middle is occupied by fans of Zhang Liangying, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming respectively;
There are slightly fewer fans of Jay Chou than Kwon Sang-woo, and they are on the right side of the inverted triangle; fans of Liang Luoshi and Aaron Kwok are scattered next to Jay Chou fans.
Well, Jaylen also got a nomination-Best Original Film Song...
Shen Xudong was surrounded by entertainment reporters and asked him to respond to the news of Gong Li's pregnancy. Old Shen was a little speechless: "Do you think it's possible? What about her IQ? I had an affair with her for almost 20 years! Can you make up a more reliable one? Scandal?"
"Then why doesn't she come?"
"...I don't have time. She is busy filming three movies this year..."
By the way, I asked him who he was more optimistic about winning the Best Actor...
Shen Xudong bluntly said: "I have always been a fan of Jackie Chan. No matter when, I think he should win the Best Actor!"
The entertainment reporter said directly: "...His literary skills are too bad..."
It's a very normal point of view. When Jet Li was filming "The Call to Action", the reporter asked, 'Is there any pressure in terms of acting...'
Feeling pressure to hold hair in your mouth?
Jet Li!
Not to mention anything else, in their peak period, there were three Qing Dynasty braids with similar shapes, "Once Upon a Time", "Fang Shiyu", and "Hong Xiguan", and then what?
He came up with three completely different interpretations!
Surprisingly, my acting skills have never been praised by anyone...
In particular, Fang Shiyu was filmed after Wong Fei Hung. He first played the role of a master, and then a naughty boy, without any drama...
What is this if not acting?
Shen Xudong directly retorted: "What is the definition of acting in a literary or martial arts drama? The three elements of lines, expressions, and movements are indispensable. Don't action actors need acting skills? If you ask Robert De Niro to play the role of Jackie Chan, he will definitely be inferior. Fuck him!"
After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "You have never worked with Jackie Chan. As soon as the camera turned on, his whole person changed. He felt a bit like Dao Wuhen... Anyway, I always felt that the Academy Awards lacked respect for him!"
…
Shen Xudong walked the red carpet with "Stone"...
Huang Bo, Jiang Wu, and Ning Hao are all here. Huang Bo... has a dark-skinned look and the same auntie haircut as Zheng Yi. The problem is, Huang Bo's appearance is sorry, but with this hairstyle, he is even more ugly!
Shen Xudong didn't dare to look directly...
I had no choice but to talk nonsense to Ning Hao: "Has the filming of "Racing" been completed?"
"Well... I'm in the later stages..."
"Okay, this year's Lunar New Year stall is up to you!"
