Chapter 1017 Kneeling straight (two-in-one monthly ticket request)
"Best Screenwriter Award..."
The nominees are "Accident", "Time Thieves", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Overheard", and "A Simple Life".
Hao Yun was nominated twice for "Let the Bullets Fly" and "A Simple Life".
This is not a good thing, as it will split the votes of the jury, but Hao Yun still won the award steadily.
Since it was the Best Screenwriter Award won by "A Simple Life", it cannot be shared with Jiang Wen.
This is the first award won by "A Simple Life".
But it is definitely not the last one.
However, several awards passed in the middle, and many nominations of "A Simple Life" fell one after another.
"Let the Bullets Fly" fell even more.
So far, "A Simple Life" has only won the Best Screenwriter Award, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has only won the Best Supporting Actor Award and the Best Editing Award.
After a while, "Let the Bullets Fly" won the Best Costume Design Award.
There is no way, this is Zhang Shuping's work, and Zhang Shuping is a Hong Kong native.
Soon it was time for the competition for the best actor.
The rest were basically big awards, and Hao Yun touched the only trophy in his hand...
Damn, the plastic bag is a bit redundant, so he put it in his crotch and walked away.
"Every time the Best Actor is awarded, it is one of the most exciting moments of the Academy Awards, and this time is no exception."
Zhang Zhen is responsible for presenting the Golden Horse Awards. Although he is not a high-profile person - well, not low-key either. In order to play in Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", I heard that he learned Bajiquan and won a championship.
As a person who has experienced it, Hao Yun has reason to believe that he may have beaten eight-year-old children.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. Being able to judge the situation is a smart person.
The one who presented the award with Zhang Zhen was Shu Qi. This woman has been doing well in the past two years. Not only did she serve as a judge in the competition unit of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, but she also served as a judge in the official competition unit of the 62nd Cannes International Film Festival the following year.
In addition, he also met Aunt Hua and starred in Ma Dagang's movie.
She immediately laughed and said, "Yes, I don't know who is the best actor today. I guess everyone is already impatient."
If they didn't waste time on the stage, maybe everyone wouldn't be impatient.
The two chatted for a few words before letting everyone see the nominations.
Hao Yun from "A Simple Life", Jiang Wen from "Let the Bullets Fly", Ren Dahua from "Time Thieves", Wang Xueqi from "October Besieged City", and Liu Qingyun from "Overheard".
The faces of the five people appeared on the big screen one after another.
In fact, there is not much difference just from here. All five of them are top acting schools.
Hao Yun is not weak either.
It mainly depends on the judges' inclination.
Liu Qingyun's "Overheard" is a little weak. It is obviously a commercial film, which is not welcomed in the Hong Kong Film Awards.
As for "A Simple Life", although the box office is also good, no one can say that it is a commercial film.
It is a proper art film, and it is calm and non-plot-oriented.
The reason why it has a good box office is that Hao Yun has a strong appeal in the box office, and the second is that the publicity is very good. Black Bean Media has shown a strong publicity and promotion ability, which is also the reason why Zhou Xingxing chose Black Bean Media to seek cooperation, the third is the public's attention to the film, and the fourth is the halo of the Berlin International Film Festival.
Although Wang Xueqi performed very well, it is not easy to win an award.
Because there are many eye-catching characters in "October Besieged City", it is a group portrait.
For example, Li Ming, he only appeared for a short time, but he contributed a very exciting scene, and his character setting was also quite eye-catching. Unfortunately, the highlight was mainly reflected in the fighting scene, so he was not nominated for the best supporting actor.
Jiang Wen is even less likely to win an award. His film was nominated for ten awards, and most of them have been lost so far.
Most of the small awards given were won by local people in Hong Kong.
So, the real controversy is Ren Dahua and Hao Yun.
One is a local actor in Hong Kong, and the other is also developed in Hong Kong. He has participated in many Hong Kong films and has worked with many big directors and celebrities.
One is a veteran who has struggled for decades, and the other is a young man who is in the limelight.
One has a deep background and is very popular in Hong Kong, and the other is a newly rising overlord in the mainland. At a young age, he has become the first private enterprise brand and is the most desired partner for Hong Kong filmmakers to go north.
It should be said that the competition between Ren Dahua and Hao Yun for the best actor is much more intense than that between Xie Tingfeng and Chen Guanxi for the best supporting actor.
The latter is more of a spectator and gossip.
Hao Yun and Ren Dahua represent the collision of new and old forces in the field of Hong Kong movies.
Whether it is the conservatives or the radicals, they actually don’t want to see Hao Yun win the best actor.
The best actress at the Academy Awards doesn’t matter. Gong Huang, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Siqin Gaowa have all won it.
But the best actor and best director...
These are things that the Academy Awards have never given to "outsiders".
"The 29th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Actor..." Zhang Zhen looked at Shu Qi. He didn't care who won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. The Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards had been won by several mainlanders.
Shu Qi swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty under the gazes of many people: "Best Actor, Ren Dahua!"
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Dahua didn't expect to win an award. He has been working hard for 24 years since he played Liang Chaowei's father in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in 1986.
His acting skills are not bad, but they are a little bit worse every time.
And because he always played in Category III movies before, his image was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, so people always look at him with tinted eyes.
For example, Shu Qi, who just announced that he won the Best Actor, worked with him in "Red Light District". This buddy is really lucky. Many famous actresses in Hong Kong have filmed with him.
However, his luck is still not good this time.
Friends think that he will become a victim of the Hong Kong Film Awards to flatter Hao Yun.
After all, those judges also have to eat and go to the mainland to develop.
Ren Dahua has already accepted his fate, and he didn't expect there would be a sudden turn of events. When he heard his name, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Hao Yun.
This kid won't walk away in anger.
However, there was no surprise on Hao Yun's face.
He clapped his hands freely.
It was indeed a failure, but he also won the title with honor.
At least, in the past, it was not surprising that a mainlander could not win the Best Actor award. It was surprising that he could win it.
Now the Academy Awards did not give him the Best Actor award, which surprised everyone at the scene.
Ren Dahua passed by Hao Yun's position and extended his hand to Hao Yun.
Hao Yun stood up and shook hands with him, and even hugged him, congratulating the big brother who had been in the entertainment industry for 24 years for winning the first Best Actor award in his life with great sincerity.
Back then, Hao Yun was filming "Infernal Affairs" and was introduced to the "PTU" crew by Liu Furong. He, a mainlander, was not discriminated against by the crew. First, it was Liu Furong's face, and second, Ren Dahua was very polite to him.
In the crew where Ren Dahua was, even the director could not disrespect him under normal circumstances.
When filming "Gunfire", Ren Dahua insisted on acting according to his own understanding. Du Qifeng had no choice but to let Ren Dahua act in two versions, one was the director's version, and the other was the actor's self-realization version. In the end, Du Qifeng adopted the actor's self-realization version.
The main reason is that Ren Dahua's brother is very powerful.
In the crew, if there are gangsters making trouble, he will stand there, and any gang will give him face.
Ren Dahua treats everyone very politely. Others in the crew don't know Hao Yun's background, and they dare not offend Hao Yun.
As for why Ren Dahua is so polite to Hao Yun.
That's naturally because he and Hao Yun... have a good chat.
After the best actor is the best actress. This time there is no surprise. As expected, Zheng Peipei won the award.
Ye Dexian, who was sitting in the audience, was so depressed that his lungs hurt.
She wanted to play this role at the beginning, and asked Liu Furong, Yang Shoucheng and others to help fight for it.
Unfortunately, director Hao Yun just doesn't like her.
After the movie was released, she went to the cinema to watch it, and further confirmed that this role was suitable for her.
She missed the chance to be crowned as the best actress.
The second spring of her career was missed in vain because of Hao Yun's insistence.
She actually wanted to ask Hao Yun why.
Why couldn't he choose me?
When Hao Yun just missed the best actor award, she was so happy.
The award should not be given to mainlanders!
All Hong Kong awards should be given to Hong Kong people.
Cheng Peipei held the trophy and kept thanking Hao Yun. Everyone knew that she was able to win the award because of Hao Yun's script and because Hao Yun gave her the opportunity.
She certainly couldn't have not known about it.
Next is the Best Director Award, which is also a big award.
Chen Delin of "October Besieged City", Jiang Wen of "Let the Bullets Fly", Wu Yushen of "Red Cliff 2: The Battle of the World", Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang of "Overheard", and Hao Yun, the director of "A Simple Life".
Basically, they are all old acquaintances.
The Best Director Award is also a private domain of the Hong Kong film industry. Among the nominees are two mainland directors, Hao Yun and Jiang Wen.
"The 29th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Director Award... A Simple Life, Hao Yun!" Liu Weiqiang, who was in charge of presenting the award, did not waste time and directly revealed the answer.
There was no way, Bao Qijing, who was presenting the award with him, was already stunned.
Everyone at the scene was also stunned.
I was so angry.
Many people were disappointed that Hao Yun did not win the Best Actor Award; now that Hao Yun won the Best Director Award, more people began to be disappointed.
You can either stick to your position and never give such a big award to a mainland director.
Or just be straightforward and give Hao Yun the Best Actor Award that he wanted the most.
You are being so secretive now, what's the difference between being a scoundrel and trying to build a memorial archway.
Hao Yun was happy.
His brain circuits are always unusual.
I don't know why, at this time he thought of a plot.
A man broke into the house and robbed the hostess. He saw that the hostess was pretty and wanted to rape her. The hostess would rather die than obey.
She would have refused.
Unexpectedly, the hostess grabbed the robber and took the initiative to have sex with him.
I won't obey you if you force me, but it's okay if I take the initiative.
There are many films like this in Neon, probably similar to the ones played by Akasaka Rei...
Hao Yun had a somewhat lingering smile on his face, shook hands with the people around him, and then walked onto the stage.
"Thank you, thank you director. Standing on the stage, I remembered the scene when I first met director Liu Weiqiang many years ago and he called me Lucky..."
Hao Yun first sighed, feeling that time flies.
However, he was interrupted by Liu Weiqiang the next second: "It's not a few years, it was in 2002, Lucky, you are really not suitable to talk so old-fashioned at your age."
"Haha~" Hao Yun smiled and continued to give his acceptance speech.
The last award is the Best Picture...
"The 29th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Picture Award... "A Simple Life", congratulations to the crew of "A Simple Life"!" Stanley Kwan and Teresa Mo presented the last award of the day.
Everyone didn't know what to complain about anymore.
If you want to say that they are not brave, they just didn't give the Best Actor award to Hao Yun, but gave it to Ren Dahua, who has always been a runner-up.
But if you want to say that they are brave, they not only gave Hao Yun the Best Director, but also the Best Picture.
This thing has never been given to mainland movies.
Is it necessary?
However, when being interviewed after the award ceremony, Chen Jiashang, the bamboo mat of the Hong Kong Film Awards, was still praising the fairness and boldness of the jury.
The Best Newcomer was awarded to Aarif Lee, and the Best Director and Best Film were both awarded to Hao Yun, who is less than 30 years old. This indicates that the Academy Awards have blossomed with youthful vitality.
The head of the judging panel, Zhuang Cheng, was more frank.
He is the president of the Film Merchants Association and the CEO of the Asia Pacific Group. From the perspective of the market, he believes that Hong Kong films have flourished in a new way.
Embracing change is what every Hong Kong filmmaker should do.
Before leaving, Hao Yun opened his three certificates. Today's certificates are very valuable, one for Best Screenwriter, one for Best Director, and one for Best Film.
There is also a Best Actress. Several major awards were basically swept by "A Simple Life".
Other awards such as "October Besieged City", "Overheard", "Time and Trouble", and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" have all become foils.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the three certificates of "Second Best Screenplay Award/Best Director Award/Best Film Award", which can store 550/600/650 attribute points]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the certificate treasure box (medium quality*1, high quality*2)]
[Open the treasure box]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure box (medium quality), and winning the script +8 (permanent), script +100 (lasting 15 minutes), and the script "Nobody". ]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure box (high quality), and winning the director +10 (permanent), director +200 (lasting 20 minutes), and the script "Joker". ]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure box (high quality), and winning the director +12 (permanent), director +250 (lasting 25 minutes), and the script "Deadpool 1, 2, 3". ]
What the hell...
Hao Yun was obviously confused.
If it weren't for the fact that his expression could not be used as a way to judge his thinking, some people would probably think that he suspected that the trophy certificate in his hand was fake.
Deadpool...
Oh, I remember, Deadpool Wade, the chatterbox who first appeared in "The New Mutants" and appeared in last year's movie "Wolverine".
Played by Ryan Reynolds, whom Hao Yun knew.
But that was just a supporting role. After Deadpool Wade was transformed by Stryker, Wolverine almost died at his hands on the high tower of the nuclear power plant.
At the critical moment, Sabretooth stood up, and the brothers joined forces to finally defeat it.
Hao Yun has indeed been paying attention to superheroes recently, and wanted the system to reward some superhero movies, but he didn't expect so many to come at once.
And it seems that none of them are superheroes.
Deadpool should be called an anti-hero, and the Joker is a pure villain, a psychopath.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to study these scripts carefully.
In addition, every time he opened a treasure chest, some temporary attributes were opened. This is a stable way to make money when Hao Yun can hardly get attributes today.
It shows that his way of upgrading attributes has not been completely blocked.
It is just around the corner to surpass the limit and become a grandmaster.
Hao Yun was smiling at the reception, which made Mrs. Xiang, who was talking to him, mistakenly think that Hao Yun's smile was directed at her.
But in fact, Hao Yun didn't want to pay much attention to this self-righteous rich lady.
"In Hong Kong, China Star is the most suitable partner for Black Bean Media..."
Mrs. Xiang was so noble that even the action of holding the red wine seemed particularly elegant and decent.
"Looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate." Hao Yun wondered what made Mrs. Xiang so restless.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess.
It is that Hong Kong movies are not doing well now. Zhou Xingxing, who used to rely on the Xiang family, broke away from them and became an ungrateful person. Now he has entered the mainland again, and it is even more difficult for them to control Zhou Xingxing.
If that's all, it's nothing. They can't control Zhou Xingxing anyway.
There is also Milkyway Image, which was previously merged with China Star.
Now it has broken away from China Star and started to move closer to Hao Yun's Black Bean Media. It is said that it has signed an investment contract for three movies with Black Bean Media.
That is, Galaxy Image will focus on filming, and Black Bean Media will be responsible for sales.
Of course Du Qifeng is willing.
With the current situation of the Hong Kong film market, it is good enough that they can survive and have someone willing to support them. They no longer have the ambition to get rich overnight.
Liu Furong's film company was tied to Hao Yun earlier.
Yinghuang and Huanyu were also die-hard supporters of Hao Yun who followed Hao Yun for a few years.
They all said that Hong Kong films are not doing well.
They all said that they can't survive.
The Xiang family also thought so, racking their brains to think of ways to maintain their luxurious life without being censored.
After being whitewashed, they don’t want to go back to being black, and they can’t go back to being black.
What’s the result?
They were worried, and when they turned around, they found that everyone had gone to the mainland.
Surrounded by mainland capital represented by Hao Yun, they enjoyed the dividends brought by the booming mainland film market, leaving them in the wind.
This time, Mrs. Xiang participated in the Academy Awards just to get in touch with Hao Yun.
“Do you have any projects that need money recently? Our Xiang family is in Hong Kong when it comes to financial resources... If you want to do something in Hong Kong, you can definitely get a smooth journey by reporting our name. Our strength...”
Born in the underworld, old-school capital, so the style of doing things is not low-key enough.
Far worse than Yang Shoucheng, the movie emperor.
Yang Shoucheng called Hao Yun and asked him to have tea at Repulse Bay. He also said that he hadn't seen Edison and Vincy for a long time and asked them to bring their children to play together...
He cleverly used the friendship between Hao Yun and Chen Guanxi.
Although Hao Yun still rejected him and had to catch a flight back to the mainland tomorrow morning, the telephone communication between them was very pleasant.
And Mrs. Xiang gave him an uncomfortable feeling of showing off wealth, muscles, and threats.
She has been a few generations, why is she still so frivolous?
It seems that those who have been black, even if they are white, can't help but carry the style of their past.
Fortunately, Zhuang Cheng, the CEO of Huanya Group, came to find him, and Hao Yun was able to get away. Since then, he has been avoiding Mrs. Xiang.
After returning from the dinner, although Hao Yun was quite drunk, he still endured and finished reading the new script he got today.
"The Nameless" is a good script.
The script of "Joker" was a little beyond Hao Yun's expectations. It was a little different from the villain Joker he imagined, or it could be said that this was a humanistic art film in the clown's skin.
As for "Deadpool"...
It is indeed an anti-hero, and this is definitely an R-rated script.
R-rated movies are the first level in the Miguo film rating system, which is restricted. People under 17 must be accompanied by their parents or guardians to watch.
"The Shining", "Saw" and "Final Destination" are all R-rated movies.
This is easier to understand, but do you believe that "Saving Private Ryan" is also an R-rated movie?
The "Deadpool" series has been given three parts, but it seems that it is not finished.
I just don't know if there will be any follow-up.
However, there is no need for Hollywood to continue such a series, and it will be the same if someone else does it.
In addition, if FC wants to start this project, it must cooperate with the copyright holder.
"Joker" is from DC, and "Deadpool" is from Marvel. Hao Yun and FC Pictures are destined to be fence-sitters.
Fortunately, the Chinese film market is now attracting global attention, and neither Marvel nor DC will reject cooperation with other film companies. What Hao Yun needs to do is to make the copyright holder recognize his script and directing ability.
Then there is the competition for interests between the two parties after the project is established.
The next day, Hao Yun returned to the capital and met An Xiaoxi... well, it wasn't a long time since they last met, anyway, she was reunited several times.
In addition to coming back to see his wife, he also had to attend the premiere of Lu Xuechang's new film.
After "Kara is a Dog", Lu Xuechang directed another movie about dogs.
His physical condition is actually very bad.
This movie, which he named "Doudou", no longer expresses artistic connotations, but is a warm and touching type.
The leading actors are Hei Dou and Zhang Yi.
Hei Dou Media invested 10 million and is responsible for the production and distribution of this movie.
In fact, Lu Xuechang only asked for a budget of 6 million, including publicity and promotion.
Hao Yun felt that he had not been filming in the past few years, so he tried to give him more, which could be regarded as improving his life.
When Hao Yun first came out, Lu Xuechang taught him a lot.
At that time, he was very green in acting and directing, and he followed Lu Xuechang and Ge You all day long to learn about their attributes.
On the left was a director's attribute, and on the right was an actor's attribute.
His level improved by leaps and bounds.
Since the time was right, Hao Yun brought An Xiaoxi, who was already pregnant, out to meet people.
