This time the award presenters were Xu Guanwen and Ye Tong. They were walking hand in hand down the steps. Of course, there had to be two paragraphs before the awards were given. Ye Tong glanced at the audience and looked at Xu Guanwen and asked: "Director Xu, who is shortlisted this time?"
Many of them are newcomers!”
"Yes, there are really a lot of new people coming out now. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach!" Xu Guanwen is not only funny on the screen, he also has rich comedy elements in life, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
Ye Tong made an exaggerated look as if he had remembered: "By the way, Director Xu, you are both an excellent screenwriter. Which one do you think will win this time?"
"This is not good, otherwise it will offend people!" According to Xu Guanwen's reputation in the film industry, others are afraid of offending him. It is undoubtedly funny to say this: "Let's take a look at the nomination list first!"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly. It seemed that the Academy Awards organizing committee had spent a lot of time on this award-winning guest. Although Xu Guanwen was now his own boss, he was considered an old official of Jiahe. Perhaps the organizing committee was doing this.
I want to resolve the conflict.
Clips from several films appeared on the big screen, as well as a rich narration: "The nominees for Best Screenplay at the 7th Academy Awards include Wang Jiawei, "The Last Victory"; Shen Xicheng, "Dragon Tiger"; Xiao Ran, Nan
Yan, "Prison Storm"; Xiao Ran, Luo Qirui, "Autumn Fairy Tale"; Xiao Ran, "God of Gamblers"..."
"Final Victory" written by Wang Jiawei was written before joining Phantom, but I can't blame him. Xiao Ran has no energy to care about this matter now, because he can't help but become nervous. He shouted excitedly in his heart: God
, to actually get three nominations, which is really comparable to Fa Ge’s achievements!
Of course, in terms of value, the screenwriter is definitely not as good as the actor. However, for Xiao Ran, what he cares about is not the so-called commercial value, but the real artistic value and the irresistible sense of accomplishment. For him
In other words, perhaps starting Phantom Company may not be as fulfilling as winning a Best Director award.
At this moment, Fa Ge took a deep look at him, his eyes full of understanding smiles. Lin Qingxia quietly grabbed Xiao Ran's hand, trying to give him more confidence. Of course, Xiao Ran was not without confidence.
, any of these three films would definitely win the award twenty years later. However, history has changed now, and he no longer dares to rely on history to make decisions.
"Wow, it's really amazing." Xu Guanwen exclaimed, his eyes searched for Xiao Ran in the audience, and he smiled: "Xiao Ran got three nominations alone. I think no screenwriter in Hong Kong can do such a thing.
of."
"I don't know if it's unprecedented, but I'm sure it's unprecedented!" Ye Tong glanced at Xiao Ran regretfully, and said with a smile: "No matter whether Xiao Ran won the award today or not, the title of first screenwriter has absolutely nothing to do with it.
People dare to doubt, if anyone tries to doubt, then please write three scripts that can get nominated!"
"Stop talking, otherwise, the writers will be anxious waiting for it!" Xu Guanwen made a funny joke, then he opened the post and stared at it for a moment, then handed it to Ye Tong: "You should read it out.
Bar!"
Xiao Ran's heart beat violently. If he could still win it today, it would really be a breakthrough. Lin Qingxia's hand conveyed warmth and concern, which made Xiao Ran gradually calm down.
Xiao Ran is really not sure that he can win the award, because film festivals all over the world are very taboo about letting anyone win the prize. The same is true for the Academy Awards, except for film legends like Fa Ge who only win at the right time.
, even the most powerful people have not even surpassed Zhuang in the Academy Awards.
"The winner of the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Screenplay is..." Ye Tong glanced at Wang Jiawei and Shen Xicheng, and finally stopped at Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, "God of Gamblers"!"
Xiao Ran was ecstatic, and he gently hugged Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong beside him, and then he hugged Lin Qingxia deeply. He greeted people all the way to the stage and accepted the award from Xu Guanwen.
He sat down, thanked him and Ye Tong again, and then came to the microphone.
Glancing at the envy and surprise in the audience, the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in Xiao Ran's chest expanded beyond control. He suddenly found that he liked this feeling of being looked up to. After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Ran had something to say: "
I am very happy today, because this award is only being awarded now, which shows that screenwriters are valued more than the previous one."
Most of the people below remembered Xiao Ran’s first words after winning the award last year. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Xiao Ran seemed to be the only person in the history of the Academy Awards to win consecutive awards. Although the Academy Awards only lasted
To be able to win the title again after seven years definitely proves that this number one screenwriter is not in vain.
"Many people call me the number one screenwriter. In fact, I want to say that whether it is a screenwriter or other filmmakers, if they do not continue to progress with the times, even if they are the number one screenwriter in the world, they will be eliminated sooner or later!
"At this point, Xiao Ran's expression became heavy, and then he smiled and said: "Now it seems that I am still very close to the times!"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, but Fang Ruohai's face was extremely gloomy. It was difficult to explain how he felt watching Xiao Ran succeed step by step. He might have some regrets, maybe he was a little resentful, but from a certain perspective, he had to admire Xiao Ran.
I admire Xiao Ran's talent, admire Xiao Ran's ability to make it this far, and admire Xiao Ran's ability to expand the company at a rapid pace while still being able to create such art. But Fang Ruohai thinks he will never be able to do it, not to mention that he doesn't have the talent.
Even if it existed, it would be impossible to create such a work of art.
However, he hated Xiao Ran even more. He hated that Xiao Ran had left him with a lifetime of shame during the stock market crash, and even brought endless humiliation to their whole family. He maliciously muttered to himself: "Just be proud of yourself, anyway.
You will never win any prizes from now on!"
Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran is not proud, but happy and joyful after being filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Film is a collective art, and every link is essential. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all friends in the industry in Hong Kong.
Let me tell you, don’t belittle yourselves, even if you are a lighting engineer, you can still reach the top, as long as you are willing to work hard to pursue it.”
After thanking Xu Guanwen and Ye Tong again, Xiao Ran walked off the stage with a relaxed and happy step. But suddenly he heard Ye Tong on the stage suddenly said: "Such an outstanding screenwriter, I really hope to have the opportunity to work with him next time
Cooperate once."
Returning to his position, Wei Dongling's jealous look was really terrifying, and he snatched Xiao Ran's award: "Give this to me. I will return it to you when I can get the award!"
Don't think that Wei Dongling has no chance to win the award because he is in administration. Don't forget that he is the general manager of the company. As long as he is willing, he can take up the position of producer in a film at any time, and the best film is precisely the producer's job.
Awarded.
In fact, Wei Dongling's name was on both of the two films that Phantom was nominated for Best Picture this time. It is definitely possible to win the award. Xiao Ran smiled softly and let go of his hand. Fa Ge was also excited.
Looking at Xiao Ran: "Aran, now you have become the only person in history who can win the award consecutively!"
"Wait a minute, you will be the second one!" Xiao Ran's excitement gradually calmed down, and he jokingly joked to Brother Fa: "You have been nominated for four unprecedented nominations this time. If you don't win any more, I'm afraid your fans will take knives.
The judges gave it a thumbs down!"
Fa Ge chuckled. He was very confident this time. Even a blind man could see it. If Fa Ge couldn't win again this time, it would be really outrageous. Just kidding, if he can't win the award after four nominations, then in the future everyone will
Stop making so many good movies, just make bad ones.
After chatting with those around them for a while, Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yuling both said with emotion at the same time: "I really didn't expect it, but there is no doubt that Xiao Ran will win this award. No, I will do it next time."
Work with him once!"
So far, only five awards have been awarded, and Phantom has won five. Judging from the current situation, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Phantom Company will sweep the 7th Academy Awards. Just thinking of this, everyone will
They were all shocked. It was only a year since Phantom was founded that it could achieve such an achievement. It was simply a miracle. No wonder Xiao Ran was called the Hand of God.
The Best Action Direction award was still given to the Cheng Jia Ban, which was unchanged from history. Xiao Ran was not surprised at all by this result. You must know that the Cheng Jia Ban is the team that has won the most awards in the history of the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards.
The following is the best editing. In this category, only Zhang Yaozong of "God of Gamblers" was nominated. However, the winner was Jiang Guoquan of "Last Victory". Best Cinematography, "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "God of Gamblers"
All were nominated, and the final winner was Huang Yongheng from "God of Gamblers"!
In the Best Supporting Actress category, Phantom was completely defeated because there was not even a single nomination. This made Xiao Ran wary. He had heard a saying before that it takes ten years to train a male movie star, but it takes ten years for a female movie star.
It only takes five years to train. Precisely because the time required for female movie stars is short, they are often replaced very quickly, and their careers are far less lasting than those of male movie stars.
In terms of Best Supporting Actor, The Phantom received two nominations for He Jiaju and Zhang Yaoyang in "Prison", and the winner was Zhang Yaoyang. The most tense moment has arrived, and the remaining four awards will truly prove who loses.
Proof of winning.
The Best Actress award was snatched away by Xiao Fangfang without any suspense. She is indeed a veteran drama star with a background as a child star. Finally it came to the Best Actor award that Fa Ge was most nervous about. In fact, this year it was really a battle between dragons and tigers, with several awards being won.
There are an abnormal six nominations, and the Best Actor nomination is as high as seven. Of course, four of them belong to Fa Ge.
After listening to the guest talking nonsense for a while, he said: "This award winner is really amazing. I think if I don't give him the award, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk out of this door. Best Actor at the 7th Academy Awards
It’s...Zhou Runfa, "God of Gamblers"!"
Sure enough, it was "God of Gamblers". Xiao Ran confirmed his judgment as soon as he heard it. He knew that if Fa Ge won the award, he would most likely win it with "God of Gamblers". Even though his performances in several other works were the same
It's an incomparable classic, but the acting skills in "God of Gamblers" are obviously a bit higher. Just with that half-silly, half-sober gambling scene, it's more than enough to win an Oscar.
Fa Ge stood up in ecstasy. Sure enough, he won the award. The Phantom team all congratulated him with smiles. When he came to the stage to receive the award and make a speech, he said something that stunned Xiao Ran.
: "I am very excited to receive this award. But this time, I just want to thank one person. He is Xiao Ran, the miracle and talent in our Hong Kong film industry!"
The whole audience was in an uproar. Xiao Ran was even more surprised and shook his head. Fa Ge is really awesome. Whoever goes on stage doesn't say thank you for this or that, for fear of missing half of it and offending others. But Fa Ge just said thank you.
Isn't this extremely strange?
"I want to thank him for asking me to act in these films, and thank him for giving me a lot of guidance on acting, which allowed me to break through my previous performances, so that I can stand here." Fa Ge's tone was very sincere, and his eyes glanced.
Xiang Xiaoran is indeed more serious than ever: "The most important thing is that he taught me how to take on roles, not just to make money, but to do a good job. I think I am really grateful to him!"
"
Fa Ge's words immediately caused a burst of fierce applause from the audience. Thinking about the award that "God of Gamblers" won this time, several filmmakers were moved. If they could cooperate with Xiao Ran, wouldn't they be able to win easily?
award.
When Brother Fa returned to his position, Xiao Ran sighed: "Brother Fa, why do you say this? If you are not such a person, it will be useless for me to tell you!"
"No!" Fa Ge looked at Xiao Ran sincerely: "Aran, what I said is true, forget about acting skills. But, without you, I would still be the half-red but not black person before. Where would I be today?
Achievements!"
"Forget it, forget it!" Xiao Ran sighed in shame, shook his hands and said, "Brother Fa, don't mention these things again in the future, if you treat me as a good friend!"
"You are not my good friend!" Xiao Ran was shocked when he heard Fa Ge's denial, but saw Fa Ge say with a smile: "You are my good brother!" Xiao Ran suddenly felt warm in his heart, to be able to have such a relationship with Fa Ge
Friendship is both accidental and inevitable.
What remains now are the last two awards, Best Director and Best Picture. In fact, many people tend to confuse these two awards, thinking that the director who can produce the Best Picture should be the Best Director.
Relationships are inevitable.
However, in terms of specific definitions, the difference between the two is quite big. In Xiao Ran's understanding, the best film is the film with the highest overall level. The best director is judged by the director's performance in a certain film.
The director's technique is the strongest. The meaning of this word "strong" is very profound, it can be clever, it can also be very powerful, it can also be very special.
A relatively typical example is "PTU". This is a work completely in the director's style. Of course, it is not unqualified to win the best picture. However, everyone knows that the directorial skills shown by To Qifeng in this film are far beyond
In other aspects, he only won the Best Director award for this film, not the Best Picture.
The award guests were Chu Yuan and Fang Yuping. Chu Yuan is a senior director in the Cantonese film era. It is worth mentioning that although Chu Yuan is older, he can still keep up with the new wave of cutting-edge directors in terms of directing techniques, such as
In Xiao Ran's memory, "The Diary of a Real Man" starring Fa Ge was an extremely hilarious film directed by him.
Fang Yuping is also a very great director. He has won the Best Picture and Best Director for "Half Man" in the previous films. Politically, he is more inclined to the mainland government. A senior and a junior, the two directors are still on stage.
Let’s start with the previous paragraph: “Uncle Chu, it’s really an era where newcomers are emerging in large numbers. You see, most of the finalists this time are those who have just debuted a few years ago!”
"To me, he is a newcomer, but to you, he is not a newcomer at all!" Chu Yuan chuckled and said: "Let's take a look at the nomination list first..."
"The nominees for Best Director at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards are: Siu Ran, "God of Gamblers"; Lam Ling-tung, "Prison"; Lam Ling-tung, "The Dragon and the Tiger"; Zhang Wan-ting, "Autumn Fairy Tale"; Hui An-wah, "The Book"
"Sword Enmity"; Tan Jiaming, "Final Victory"..."
"This year is really full of strong players. You can see that Lin Lingdong got two nominations, and Xiao Ran got one. They are both very powerful directors." Chu Yuan always speaks in a humorous manner, which is similar to the characters who often appear on the screen.
Feature: "Let's see who wins..."
Xiao Ran glanced at Zhang Wanting and Lin Lingdong who were not far from him in the front row. They both became nervous. Xiao Ran was even more nervous. He was joking, the best director is not so easy to ignore. At least he felt that this weight was much stronger than the best screenwriter.
More, of course, because he originally wanted to be a director.
However, this time, the Phantom really showed its face. Of the six director nominations, four were taken away by the Phantom, and the remaining one was divided between Debao and Xu Ke's film studios. Golden Harvest was not even qualified.
However, just when these six people were all nervous...
