Chapter 677 The Biggest Winner
A burst of exciting music sounded in the venue, and a respected senior from Taiwan came out. He was white-haired and looked like a person who had filmed in Shanghai. Anyway, no one in Hong Kong knew him.
As the award presenter, he spoke again and said, "Let's take a look at the nominations for the best film." "The Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong!"
"The Man from Fenggui!"
"Public Servant!"
"The Wrong Car!"
"Little Fugitive!"
"Sister Yuqing!"
There were three nominations for other awards, but six for the best film.
Zhuang Cheng looked for Wang Yingxiang, who happened to be looking at him. When the two looked at each other, Wang Yingxiang shrugged, indicating that he didn't know how the pork was divided.
Spray!
Zhuang Cheng rubbed his left index finger nervously, praying that he could win a big prize. Only with a big prize would the subsequent effect be good. And the public relations fee he spent was hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which made the Information Bureau and experts dizzy. I have never seen Hong Kong people so enthusiastic about the Golden Horse Awards.
Finally, the senior tremblingly opened the envelope, glanced at it, and read:
"The winner of the Best Picture is "The Wrong Car"!"
"Wow, wow, wow!"
The applause rang out in an instant, and Ye Tong and others stood up at the first time, hugged and congratulated Zhuang Cheng. Zhuang Cheng also hugged and shook hands with Sun Yue, Su Rui and others, and delayed for more than ten seconds before leaving his seat.
The eyes of the whole audience were fixed on this new movie star.
He is not even 30 years old yet, but he has produced four films, "Seven Days of Love", "Two Wives in One House", "The Wrong Car" and "Mr. Vampire". He has box office success and honors. He has been to university and is a serious scholar.
He has a gentle and restrained temperament and is talented.
Forget about Taiwan. When Hong Kong people look at him, they always unconsciously feel the shadow of another person, because they are very similar in all aspects. The right-wing newspapers are promoting Zhuang Cheng, calling him "the show of Hong Kong", and he will definitely be able to kill the guy on the left!
"Wow!"
"Boss is awesome!"
Li Lizhen and the other two clapped their hands vigorously, feeling proud of it. "The Wrong Car" was nominated for 12 awards and won 6 awards, making it the biggest winner tonight.
"Thank you! Thank you Golden Horse Awards, thank you organizing committee and judges!"
Zhuang Cheng took the trophy again and stood on the stage excitedly.
At this moment, he wanted to blow himself up and even shout a few slogans, but now was not the time. If he really did it, he and others would definitely not be able to leave Taiwan Island. He had recently read some books on purpose, such as Zhadong and Baigongguan. The cruel methods of those spies made people shudder.
So he tried to calm down as much as possible and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be able to stand on this stage again. In fact, after I finalized the script and funds for "The Wrong Car", I gave it to my friends in Taiwan to do it.
I trust their level, and they did not disappoint everyone. They produced a very good work. Thank them!
The film industries of the two places have always been close. Whether it is Cantonese or Mandarin films, there is no need to stick to any type. As long as there is a good script, you can shoot it. I think the model of "The Wrong Car" can be used more to produce more and better film works. Thank you!"
Oh!
There were many experts and semi-official people present, and it was so comfortable to hear these words.
Taiwan has always wanted to create a "Hong Kong investment + local production" model, but it is a pity that it is not very successful. Zhuang Cheng is like an automatic scratcher, and every inch of the scratch is just right.
"Wow!"
Zhuang Cheng got off the stage, holding a Golden Horse Award in each hand, the most handsome guy in the audience.
In fact, in addition to public relations, he was able to win the best film because of the change of the world line.
There are many veterans in Taiwan. They live in military dependents' villages and do not consider themselves Taiwanese. The aboriginals regard them as outsiders. There are social contradictions, strong homesickness, and changes in the times. It is a film theme with great artistic value.
But Taiwan used to be strictly controlled, and only the positive effects of veterans could be filmed, and the negative effects were not allowed.
In the early 1980s, the environment loosened up, and some films that showed the plight of veterans emerged, and the one that led this trend was "The Wrong Car".
Historically, "The Wrong Car" was released last year, and then Taiwan followed suit and also filmed a veteran-themed film "Lao Mo's Second Spring". It was also starred by Sun Yue, Su Rui sang the theme song, and even the screenwriter was a staff member of "The Wrong Car".
"Lao Mo's Second Spring" should have been the best film of this year's Golden Horse Awards.
But now "The Wrong Car" is a year late, and the trend of veterans has also been delayed for a year, and there is no "Lao Mo's Second Spring" yet.
Zhuang Cheng is not a time traveler, so he is not aware of these twists and turns. With 6 trophies in hand, he has completed his mission. The next step is to leave Taiwan Island quietly, and the sooner the better.
The Golden Horse Awards ended with the last song and dance program, and the pork was divided comfortably.
Zhuang Cheng wanted to fly back overnight, but unfortunately there was no way. Wang Yingxiang asked him to set up dozens of tables for a celebration banquet. The next day, he had to meet officials and experts from the Information Bureau and accept media interviews.
He is not a director or a star, but as a company boss, he is very popular.
Zhuang Cheng said excitedly: "Taiwan is the best partner of Hong Kong movies. It will not change now! It will not change in the future! I hope the two places will cooperate more. I am willing to invest in Mandarin films. Mandarin films are great!"
"Lin Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng, and Zhang Aijia are all very good actors!"
"It's not possible in the mainland. The environment there is too bad. There are also problems with Hong Kong's return. Didn't they say that it would not change for decades? We still cooperate with Taiwan. I like the atmosphere here very much. If I come a few more times, I will be considered half Taiwanese."
"I can marry a Taiwanese wife. Do you have any introductions?"
The Taiwanese media were so happy that they responded to the call and said nice things to each other. At the same time, Hong Kong newspapers also reported the grand occasion of the Golden Horse Awards. Well, grand occasion.
"The Golden Horse Awards have come to an end. "The Wrong Car" won 60% of the 12 awards!"
"The Wrong Car" has set off a trend of veteran movies. There are already many veteran-themed movies in Taiwan!"
"The Wrong Car" is the best template for cooperation between the two places. Why worry about the lack of popularity of Taiwanese movies?
"Zhuang Cheng calls himself half Taiwanese. Even if Hong Kong returns, he is not afraid of the mainland!"
Taking advantage of the popularity of the Golden Horse Awards, "The Wrong Car", which has been re-screened several times in the past six months, was re-screened again. Every time, there are really audiences watching it, as if they can't get enough. The box office is also approaching the 100 million New Taiwan dollars mark.
In short, Zhuang Cheng spent the last bit of his energy to make false concessions to people from all sides and stayed in Taiwan for another day.
The next day, at the airport.
A group of friends including Wang Yingxiang came to see him off. Wang Yingxiang still held his shoulder and was reluctant to leave: "You and I are brothers, not just to talk about work, come whenever you want. No matter when you come to Taipei, just find us, there are wine, meat and women."
"Yes, yes! Taiwan is fun and beautiful. If you have time, stay longer and we can go to Tainan and Taitung for a visit!"
"Or let's make an appointment and go to Macau together!"
Others responded one after another. Zhuang Cheng suddenly realized the feeling of "a policeman went undercover in a gang and almost became a boss". It was also very complicated. He forced a smile and said: "Macau is not enough. If you have the guts, go to the United States to be cool!
If you have time, come to Hong Kong, I will treat you well!"
"Okay, okay, get on the plane!"
Zhuang Cheng said goodbye to everyone, went through security checks, boarded the plane, and finally felt relieved when he took off.
The few days before and after were particularly long. Now that his mission was completed, his life was the most important thing next---Oh, yes! He glanced at the three actresses. Their lives were important and they couldn't just work for nothing.
