Chapter two hundred and eighty eighth new branch golden statue actor on
If watching a movie is like going to the dynasty, then watching the award ceremony is like entering a harem, with stars gathered, three thousand pink and white, and it is very lively. But if you look at the nomination list of the Academy Awards a little more snobbishly, it is actually very deserted, but it is "Initial D"
", "If Love" and "Underworld", "Qin Shi Mingyue" Four Quarters of the World.
The Academy Awards are awarded every year, once a year, but Wang Zhengfei feels that the Academy Awards are becoming more and more like the Oscars. This year's Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon, the most popular candidates for the Academy Award for Best Actress, Zhou Xun, Lin Jiaxin, etc.
They are all popular actresses in their 30s. Not only that, this aesthetic tradition has also lasted for several years in the two awards. The statuettes have been endlessly in love with beauty since Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman,
Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank...it's obvious to all that the judges enjoy letting the exotic flowers bloom on the podium.
Since three years ago, the judges of the Golden Statue have also fallen out of control into a similar aesthetic confusion: Li Xinjie, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhou Xun are all the same young and energetic, and the same unparalleled elegance.
Not only that, Reese Witherspoon defeated his competitor Felicity Huffman for an important reason: Huffman comes from the TV drama industry, so it is inevitable that he will be discriminated against by filmmakers. Similarly, the judges of the Academy Awards have no regard for the Best Actor category.
Aaron Kwok, or Sammi Cheng, who has been nominated for Best Actress several times, both have "different treatment of singers". Of course, it cannot be denied that their acting skills are not very good, and they have always been criticized. Let alone the Best Actor and Best Actress.
Even being shortlisted has been criticized by many people.
There is also a technical preference for movies with good box office. This year’s Oscars will separate Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Effects. The former focuses on post-editing, while the latter focuses on live effects. At this Oscar, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects
, the winner of the visual effects is "King Kong", and at the Academy Awards, "Qin Shi Mingyue" used hearty computer special effects to complete countless impossible tasks and achieve incredible super box office. Not only that, both of them won
While commercially successful, both have a good reputation. The reason is that the work is meticulous in other aspects. Naomi Watts completed "the most fascinating blue screen performance in the 21st century" in "King Kong", and Wang Zhengfei and Liu Yifei both
They were also nominated for Best Actor and Actor. No matter how many awards they win in the end, it is inevitable that they will prefer movies with good box office in terms of technical awards.
Although the Academy Awards, like the Golden Bell Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, has a red carpet, it is actually similar to the red carpets of most awards. Wang Zhengfei walked the red carpet this time with Liu Yifei, who has walked many times.
Wang Zhengfei is now quite familiar with it and no longer feels nervous as he did at first.
This time, Wang Zhengfei was wearing a black suit. With his handsome appearance, he looked extremely heroic and upright. Next to him, Liu Yifei was wearing a goose-yellow dress, holding Wang Zhengfei's arm. Her expression was quite intimate and gorgeous. Under the eyes of a group of reporters,
Handy in flashlights.
After the red carpet, it was the awards ceremony. Wang Zhengfei and Liu Yifei did not stay on the red carpet for long to avoid conflict with the guests behind them.
Wang Zhengfei entered the award ceremony venue and saw Jay Chou walking over with a smile on his face and said, "Zhengfei!"
"Jaylen, congratulations, your results in "Initial D" this time are very good. I have a hunch that you will definitely win the Best Newcomer Award this time!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Then I'll lend you your good words!" Jay Chou said with a smile. It was still comfortable to talk to Wang Zhengfei. People in Hong Kong speak Cantonese. Jay Chou only knows a few simple Cantonese, which is not enough to communicate. And those in Hong Kong
Although the actors can also speak Mandarin, their level is obvious to all. It is basically terrible. Very few people can communicate normally in Mandarin. Jay Chou, who does not understand the language, has no choice but to watch others communicate. At this time, it is rare to see a familiar person.
I have many friends, and they also speak Mandarin, so I naturally get closer to them.
"But this time you are so awesome. You were shortlisted for fourteen items in one go. You were shortlisted for five awards!" Jay Chou couldn't help but sigh. This was Jay Chou's innermost thoughts. Although Wang Zhengfei debuted much later than him, he is still older.
He is several years younger than him, but what he has done in just a few years makes him quite ashamed. Although he has acted in movies, Jay Chou is still essentially a singer, and he knows this very well.
Obviously, if you want to compare, you have to compare the album sales. Let’s talk about albums. Wang Zhengfei can almost be said to be the singer with the most terrible album sales now. In this day and age, there is still such a terrible singer.
The sales volume is really a terrifying figure, almost equivalent to the sales volume of his two albums during his peak period. Although he is a little unwilling to do so, it has to be said that Wang Zhengfei is indeed very powerful.
This time "Qin Shi Mingyue" was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Action Design, Best Original Film Music, Best Original Film Song, and
Fourteen awards including Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, and Wang Zhengfei himself was also nominated for Best Director and Best Actor.
, Best Screenplay, Best Original Film Music, Best Original Film Song, and five other awards.
"What's the use of being shortlisted? I'm not sure how many awards I can win!" Wang Zhengfei was not joking.
The Mainland atmosphere at the Hong Kong Film Awards has become more and more intense in the past two years, which is very complicated for Hong Kong film fans. Last year, more and more Mandarin was heard. Wang Zhengfei noticed a detail change this year. Many Mainland Chinese
The actors all learned a few words in Cantonese to speak on stage. However, the difference in expression styles between mainland actors and Hong Kong actors is as huge as the difference in their acting styles in movies, and it is still difficult to connect them.
This year's Academy Awards, in Wang Zhengfei's impression, are marked with the label of safeguarding Hong Kong. The Academy Awards gave both the Best Director and the Best Picture to Johnnie To's "Dragon City". This will definitely see Hong Kong film gold.
The Image Awards Association and the Hong Kong film industry as a whole have chosen the direction of Hong Kong films. That is, films that still have the most local characteristics of Hong Kong and focus on Hong Kong are the most worthy of recognition. This is the only way for Hong Kong films to maintain their characteristics and not be drowned by various torrents.
guarantee.
The fact that "Gangster" was nominated for so many awards should be a reflection of the larger differences in values and cultural geographical differences between Hong Kong films and mainland films. Why did a film with an illegal society as its entire description receive such recognition from the Hong Kong film industry?
Professional affirmation? If it were an award from the Mainland, you wouldn’t even think about it. Such a bird’s-eye view of Hong Kong’s underground societies, either vertically and horizontally, or overturning, or coexisting and co-prospering, is done with a historical touch.
The very heroic description is like a concluding statement for Hong Kong's underground society.
Hong Kong's underworld culture has long become the most unique aspect of Hong Kong. The rules of the game between the superficial order of the underworld and Hong Kong's rule of law constitute a living and realistic picture. "Triad" not only describes this aspect, but also describes it more profoundly.
It shows the relationship, personalities and very special feelings between the relevant characters.
For this reason, Wang Zhengfei cannot guarantee how many awards he will win this time. He is not worried about technical awards, because this year, no Chinese-language film can be as good as "Qin Shi Mingyue", and if
If you can't win an award, then Wang Zhengfei will really doubt the fairness of the Hong Kong Film Awards, because although the Hong Kong Film Awards are said to have a strong Hong Kong flavor, in fact, they cannot ignore public opinion and make random selections. Otherwise, Hong Kong will
The authority of the Academy Awards is completely gone.
It's just that Wang Zhengfei is still very hesitant about a series of awards such as Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Director, etc. He doesn't know who will be awarded to him in the end.
The two talked for a while, and then the Academy Awards began. After the opening performance, there was a very important award, the Best New Actor Award, which was the award for which Jay Chou was shortlisted.
There are all newcomers in this award, and among the newcomers, Jay Chou has long been famous, while Sit Kai-chi, Leung Luo Shi, Michelle Ye, etc. are not Jay Chou's opponents at all. Among these three golden flowers, Jay Chou quickly stands out, and there is not much suspense at all.
After winning the award, Jay Chou jogged excitedly all the way to the stage. On the way, he even ran over excitedly and shook hands with Wang Zhengfei. Wang Zhengfei felt that Jay Chou's palms were sweaty, which showed how nervous he was.
The award after Best Newcomer is the New Director Award. The first two awards have nothing to do with the crew of "Qin Shi Mingyue", but the third Best Cinematography Award has a lot to do with Wang Zhengfei. This award is "Qin Shi Mingyue".
The cast and crew of "Shi Mingyue" were also shortlisted.
However, it is a pity that the Best Cinematography Award was still won by "If Love". It was a bad start, and Wang Zhengfei felt a little gloomy after all.
However, the subsequent best editing still earned some face for the crew of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and it was won smoothly. In this aspect, whether it is "Period", "If Love" or "Initial D", they are all
It is far inferior to "Qin Shi Mingyue" and there is nothing to criticize.
Then for the finale of the first round, the Best Supporting Actress award has little to do with Wang Zhengfei. Anyway, no one was shortlisted for "Qin Shi Mingyue", so there is basically no pressure.
The first round went well, and I didn’t return empty-handed. I finally won an award. Otherwise, the claim of being the first favorite would have been in vain.
