Chapter 576 I Have General Hao Yun (Additional Update 2/2 for Those Who Don’t Eat Sweet Durian)
After the attributes were fully gathered, Hao Yun and others entered the main venue and waited for the award ceremony to officially begin.
Zhang Liangying had a performance task, and Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, and Zhou Xun were all big names, so their seats were not far behind.
The first award was the Best Newcomer Award.
Although An Xiaoxi was nominated, the winner was Jay Chou.
In fact, the Newcomer Award does not require a grand slam, just one is enough for the sake of showing it.
No matter how many Newcomer Awards Jay Chou won, it cannot change the fact that he, as a singer, did not win the Singer Newcomer Award - it was snatched away by Sun Yanzi.
This is a stain on his life.
Jay Chou's momentum in entering the film and television industry is very strong. He was even invited to participate in Zhang Yimou's new film "Curse of the Golden Flower".
Hao Yun has read the story outline of this movie and the biography of Jay Chou's character.
Because the role was originally intended for him.
But Hao Yun always felt that Zhang Yimou was going to compete with Ma Dagang and Chen Kaige to see who could make a worse film, so he declined the offer.
That’s how Jay Chou was confirmed to star in the film.
Alas, no role was offered to him in March, and eight days into April, and still no role.
Did his road to becoming an actor come to an abrupt end?
The winner of the Best New Director Award was Bi Guozhi for "Hainanese Chicken Rice", and then several more awards were presented.
Until the Best Original Film Song, the winner was "Fleeting Time", and Zhang Jingying went on stage to receive the award and sing.
This award had nothing to do with Hao Yun.
Only Zhang Jingying repeatedly thanked her boss on stage.
"Next is the Best Screenwriter Award, let's take a look at the big screen, the nominees are - You Naihai, Ye Tiancheng for "Dragon City Years"; Lin Aihua, Du Guowei for "If Love"; Er Dongsheng, Qin Tiannan for "Precocious"; Hao Yun for "Those Years"; Zhang Zhiguang, Chen Shuxian for "Childhood Dream"..."
The person in charge of presenting the awards was Chen Jiashang.
At the 18th session, he and Chen Qingjia won the Best Screenwriter Award for "Beast Cop".
His partner was Li Xuexue.
Stars like Li Xuexue and Fan Xuexue who were not nominated were usually responsible for presenting awards in order to increase their exposure.
After Chen Jiashang called out the nominations, he handed the results to Li Xuexue.
"Those Years", Hao Yun, congratulations to Director Hao, Director Hao is an all-rounder in the entertainment industry, actor, screenwriter, director, singer, and creator..."
Of course, Li Xuexue would not miss such an opportunity to flatter.
She was counting on Hao Yun to give her more roles in "The Sound of the Wind".
Because he "took in" Zhou Xun to Heidou Media, Hao Yun gave the second female role of "The Sound of the Wind" to Aunt Hua.
After some intrigues by Aunt Hua, the role finally fell on Li Xuexue's head.
Li Xuexue also saw a relatively complete script. She didn't think this movie was a double female lead, and her role was obviously not as good as Zhou Xun.
She even went to Wang Zhonglei for this.
What can Wang Zhonglei do? Even if his role is not as big as Zhou Xun's and not as outstanding, can he force Hao Yun to change the script?
He has won the Berlin Film Festival.
Feng Yuanzheng, who used to be very close to Aunt Hua, now leans on Heidou Media.
Aunt Hua is anxious but can't do anything. Feng Yuanzheng is from the People's Art Theater, and he is not an ordinary actor of the People's Art Theater. He was just working with them.
Hao Yun has become someone Aunt Hua can't afford to offend.
Han Sanping likes Hao Yun very much.
He organized a banquet, and with many bigwigs attending, he directly told Chen Kaige to protect young directors like Hao Yun.
Why did he tell Chen Kaige?
Because Chen Kaige was not convinced that he lost to Hao Yun at the Berlin Film Festival.
He was waiting for an opportunity to give Hao Yun a hard time.
But he didn't expect Han Sanping to defend Hao Yun so much and embarrass him in public.
He lost all his face.
If Huang Jianxin hadn't smoothed things over at the time, he might not have gotten off the stage.
As for why Han Sanping defended Hao Yun, it was nothing more than the relationship with Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen said that his apprentice could not be touched, so Han Sanping would help defend him.
However, Wang Zhongjun said that there was another reason.
That was the box office!
The higher-ups were not satisfied with the current box office scale and issued a lot of policies.
But policies alone are not enough. If we don't have our own works, we will just be making wedding clothes for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hollywood.
So Han Sanping didn't want any award-winning works.
Hao Yun won the Berlin Grand Prix, but Han Sanping didn't care much. At most, he thought that Hao Yun had earned face for his family at a young age.
The real reason he valued Hao Yun was because Hao Yun's three consecutive movies were box office hits.
If only one of them had a good box office, it could be said that he was lucky. Now that three movies have been released, all of them have good box office, and even the most nitpicking people have to be convinced.
At a critical time when the superiors required to maintain the proportion of the mainland box office and expand the film market, Hao Yun was a general who could fight for him on the battlefield.
Even if Jiang Wen had not asked, Han Sanping had to keep Hao Yun.
Don't bother Mr. Hao from writing scripts and filming.
Hearing that he won the Best Screenwriter Award, Hao Yun had already hugged An Xiaoxi in his arms, but didn't kiss her because he was not so excited at the moment.
Hao Yun would definitely not come to the Academy Awards empty-handed.
He would definitely be given one of the three awards: screenwriter, director, and best film.
No matter how commercial or meaningless "Those Years" is, it has to be made.
After all, Hao Yun is a member of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and he has very good relationships with people. A lot of the dozen or so judges have dealt with him.
They all feel that they have taught Hao Yun a lot.
However, everyone still has to have some face, so it is unlikely to give him the Best Picture and Best Director.
Then the best screenwriter, who has the least presence but is not bad, is the first choice.
Screenwriters are not valued in Hong Kong, especially in the most glorious era, when paperwork was popular on the set, and many film and television dramas did not have complete scripts when they started shooting.
From the 1997 movie "The Thirteenth Son of the South Sea", we can see the living conditions of some screenwriters.
That movie is really a story about a down-and-out screenwriter telling the story of another down-and-out screenwriter.
As the best screenwriter of the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards, Hao Yun walked onto the stage and received the trophy from Chen Jiashang.
"Speaking of which, I am actually a professional screenwriter. I have written many scripts, three of which have been released. This is my second time to win the Best Screenwriter Award."
The first award was naturally the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which was very important.
Fortunately, Quentin was a member of the jury that year, so Hao Yun had the opportunity.
"To be honest, the script of "Those Years" is actually a bit thin. Compared with other film predecessors who have been nominated, I really don't deserve it. Don't get me wrong, there is no shady deal. The film industry has been working hard to support newcomers in recent years. Maybe they think I have some potential..."
When he said this, other screenwriters who were nominated but did not win the award applauded very hard.
Regardless of whether there is a shady deal, at least what Hao Yun said today will make everyone feel very proud.
We didn't lose, we are supporting newcomers.
Hao Yun gave a speech on the stage and went down with the trophy and certificate.
This time, An Xiaoxi took the initiative to "grab" the trophy and play with it.
Don't throw it to me, I'll take it myself.
Hao Yun couldn't wait to open the certificate. This award was very important. Maybe there would be a top-quality treasure chest.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the "25th Hong Kong Film Awards·Best Screenwriter" certificate, which can store 480 attribute points]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the certificate treasure chest (medium quality)]
[Open the treasure chest]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure chest (medium quality), and winning the screenwriter +5 (permanent), / script "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart". ]
The script that I brought.
Hao Yun closed the certificate and was quite satisfied with the result.
With 480 points, although it did not become a top-quality treasure chest, it was also considered top-level among the medium-quality ones.
Moreover, there were no hard and fast rules for this thing.
The top-quality treasure chest did not rule out the possibility of opening garbage. It was also common to open a top-quality script or song in the medium-quality one.
When opening a treasure chest, the unknown and uncertainty were the most exciting.
Later, the Best Supporting Actress was taken away by Mao Shunjun, and the Best Action Design was taken away by Zhen Kung Fu.
The design of Zhen Kungfu's Sha Po Lang is indeed very good.
Hao Yun sometimes wondered if he had taken the initiative to approach Zhen Kungfu and Fang Long when he first entered the circle, and participated in more martial arts competitions, would he have taken a different path?
Unfortunately, he was frightened by the Collector's Edition of "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword" awarded by the system.
This kind of killing skill is prone to accidents if practiced too much.
So he decisively gave up participating in martial arts competitions, and only occasionally found martial arts coach Lu Jinming to learn various performance routines.
The Best Director Award was given to Du Qifeng, who didn't come, and someone else took it for him.
Hao Yun actually wanted to ask Du Qifeng if there was any good role to arrange for him, I urgently need a movie emperor title here.
I can play ugly, stupid, or mentally ill.
The Best Actor was also given to Liang Jiahui in "Dragon City Years".
I don't know whether I should sigh at the fairness and selflessness of the Academy Awards. Two consecutive awards were given to people who didn't come.
Or should I sigh that there is really no one in the Hong Kong film industry.
In addition to these awards, Hao Yun is probably most concerned about the Best Actress.
An Xiaoxi and Zhou Xun were both nominated.
When the camera was on Zhou Xun, she was smiling, but she was complaining in her heart, Damn, Hao Yun just stood up and hugged her, and it was obvious that she and An Xiaoxi both stood up.
As a result, Hao Yun only really hugged An Xiaoxi.
He just gave her a fake hug.
It's simply unfair.
When the camera was on An Xiaoxi, she was actually playing with Hao Yun's trophy.
There was no way, the little girl who was destined not to get the award today could only borrow the trophy of the big brother next door to satisfy her.
It was really pitiful and helpless.
