My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 203 Prologue to a New Era
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!

In the leftmost position of the college hall of the Hong Kong Island Invasion Institute, a group of men and women with the faces of intellectuals are sitting.

They were completely different from the stars, directors and people in the entertainment industry present, and they were all filled with a sour smell of superiority.

The selection committee of the Academy Awards is exactly the enclosure of film critics, columnists and related author-type filmmakers.

"Film Biweekly" is originally a niche publication.Hosting the Academy Awards can be said to be a kind of enthusiasm, and it can also be said to be a lot of ambition.

It's a pity... I have grown up to be the size of Xiao Ming, so I have to do Yao Ming's job.

The Golden Statue Award, as an emerging award with considerable weight in the country, did not receive much attention from the entertainment industry.However, with the extension of the hidden interests of the award-winning films in foreign markets, many film companies and stars have seen the interests here.

Therefore, since the fourth session, many "audience" broke out to question the fairness of the Academy Awards.At that time, there was a lot of uproar and the impact was great.

At that time, when all horses were silent, Zhang Che, the head of Room 36, stood up and shouted, "I think film critics are very suitable as nominees, because they watch the most movies and have simple motives, so they can be compared easily."

This kind of words... In future generations, it is estimated that people will be sprayed to death.At that time, he was scolded by many film company bosses.

In the fifth session, in order to quell the "war chaos", Li Hanxiang was invited to Luezhen, and he was invited to be the chairman of the judging committee for the Golden Statue Awards.

Li Hanxiang postponed it for a long time with a face of reluctance, and finally took the seat under the sunshine after three visits to the thatched cottage.

Then... this old and unscrupulous person, the special society fiddled with the shortest-lived award in the history of the Academy Awards-the Jury Grand Prix (died in one session), which competed with the best picture.

At that time, the film critics were not angry!
The problem is, seeing their reluctance, Director Li looked at them in shock, "Didn't you ask me to come?"

In the sixth session, Li Hanxiang raised his little hand again and volunteered to be the chairman.Chen Bosheng and Shi Yu's faces turned dark. "Fire Dragon" successfully nominated for multiple awards and blocked Li Hanxiang's mouth.

The [-]th Golden Statue Awards inherited the fine tradition of Suishan Wangbaduo.

The undercurrents of the conservative literary school and the radical commercial school are fully reflected in the nomination list of the Academy Awards and the award-winning films.

If it is said that the Golden Statue Award of later generations is a treasure, then at this moment it is the little demon in the temple.

Wu Xiaozu smiled and applauded to congratulate Huang Yuetai for winning the professional award of Best Cinematography of the Academy Awards again with "The Birth of a Prefix".

"Some people say that a movie is the continuation of the director's thinking, a movie is the director's interpretation of the story, and a movie is the most intuitive expression of the director's emotions. The next thing to be awarded is the Best Director Award..."

Zheng Yuling held the card in her hand and recited the interlude with emotion. Following her voice, Wu Xiaozu also put away his smile and stared at the stage.

Best director!
The stage lights of the Golden Statue Awards were bright, Wu Xiaozu sat under the stage, squinting his eyes, and saw that the award presenter was Yan Hao, a representative of the New Wave.

Yan Hao's appearance made many people in the audience jump in their hearts, and Wu Xiaozu frowned slightly.

Film awards, award presenters are very sophisticated.In many cases, the minds of the jury can be guessed through the award presenters.

Yan Hao is a representative of the New Wave!

...

"The Golden Statue Awards are going the same way again?" Wu Yusen teased with a dark face.

Tsui Hark narrowed his eyes slightly, and switched legs, "No, the jury personally called us to invite us, and won't let us leave with just one Best Actor. Besides—"

Tsui Hark glanced at Liang Jiahui, Zhou Runfa and Wu Xiaozu who were sitting not far away, and then looked at the film critics not far away. Behind the film critics, Li Hanxiang's big gold chain and small watch, a pair of big horses and golden swords dressed as "social people" sit there.

In the previous life, the number of votes for Liang Jiahui's "Fire Dragon" was second only to Zhou Runfa, and even higher than that of Di Long.

At that time, Li Hanxiang was not easy to come forward, and Liang Jiahui had not been released.The Academy Award jury naturally has their own plans.

This life is different!
Liang Jiahui has been unblocked! ! !

Under such circumstances, as a master, how could Li Hanxiang not know how to push his apprentice?In the final analysis, Hong Kong Island filmmakers are still a circle.

Coupled with the fact that Liang Jiahui's performance is really outstanding, it is understandable that a perverted film won the Best Actor.Some people may say that "The True Colors of Heroes" is invincible!
But reality often proves that excellent movies do not necessarily win awards.Even Brother Xiao Ma still lost to Brother Hao at the Golden Horse Awards.Wu Yusen did not win the best director in his previous life.

If it is really a good movie, it must win the award, so why are there so many unpopular ones?

Liang Jiahui won the award.

There is a "tragedy card"!
Some media have fueled the flames of this "defying power".

Driven by Li Hanxiang!
There is also a breakthrough in acting!
Perhaps...there is also the influence of ZZ leftists!
Therefore, it is logical that he won the award!
...

"I'm very happy to be the presenter of this award. The competition for the best director of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards is very fierce, and every director has contributed shocking works. I believe this is the prosperous age of Hong Kong films.

I still remember that I also gained an important affirmation in my life here two years ago.Today, I am also very happy to see more and more excellent works appearing. "

Yan Hao pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, glanced at everyone in the audience, and nodded one by one.

"New Wave—"

Wu Yusen folded his hands on his chest and looked at Yan Hao on the stage.In psychology, a person with arms folded often has the meaning of defense and resistance.

He has won the Golden Horse Awards for Best Director, but looking at it now... I am afraid that this time he still cannot break the New Wave's monopoly on "Best Director".

Even though Yu Cheng, Ms. Li and others want to carry forward the Academy Awards, they are still constrained by film critics and New Wave people both openly and secretly.

new wave?
Tsui Hark was slightly dissatisfied and didn't respond. He didn't like Wu Yusen's one-size-fits-all approach.

Not every new wave is called a deluxe!
Everyone in the audience was speculating, but Yan Hao on the stage didn't stop.

"The best director nominations of the [-]th Hong Kong Island Awards are: Fang Yuping's "American Heart", Li Hanxiang's "Fire Dragon", Wu Yusen's "A Hero", Wu Xiaozu's "Birth of a Prefix", Guan Jinpeng's "Underground Love", Er Dongsheng's "Story of the Epilepsy".

Every movie is very exciting, so who will win it? "

Yan Hao smiled, and glanced at the nominated directors indiscriminately, with different expressions.

With the hurried voice, the nominees in the audience could not help but feel nervous.

Although he felt that he would not win the award, Wu Yusen still hugged his arms tightly, pursed his lips, and stared at Yan Hao who was on the stage for the lottery.

Who doesn't want a double harvest of the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue?No matter how good the golden horse is, there is no recognition at the door of the house that makes him happier.He himself is very concerned about the best director of the Academy Award.

Li Hanxiang chewed his chewing gum vigorously, tilted his head and watched Yan Hao's performance on the stage, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Fire Dragon" has a sense of drama that is hard to find in Hong Kong movies, and the whole movie is definitely a rare masterpiece.However, if this movie is placed before the Sino-British double signing, there may still be a chance.His heart is towards the mainland. At that time, he was a different kind on Hong Kong Island, but sometimes, being different often means paying attention.Today, he is less likely to be favored by the left among film critics.

What's more, Li Hanxiang himself doesn't care too much about this so-called affirmation.With his status today, the Academy Awards are icing on the cake at best.

It's not as good as Liang Jiahui's benefits from being an actor.

He felt guilty when his disciple was banned back then.But due to many factors, he couldn't help.

Now that he has the opportunity to reach out, he doesn't care even if he is said to be "selling old face and showing favor".

Fang Yuping sat quietly under the stage, no one knew what this two-time best director was thinking.Each of his films reflects a different perspective of the characters.

This "American Heart" is also full of experimental and realistic taste.

In contrast, Guan Jinpeng's literary sketches and Er Dongsheng's realistic themes are slightly thinner.

Wu Yusen was very nervous, because he needed the recognition of the market, and more importantly, the recognition of the film industry.

It can be said that since 86, the Hong Kong Island film circle has entered a period of high productivity for filmmakers.

Wu Xiaozu sat on the chair, tapped Liang Jiahui's leg with his fingers, feeling a little nervous.

The reason for the tension is not only the desire for awards, but also a sense of accomplishment for self-IQ.

At the beginning, he came out with the banner of "New Wave".

Now I am finally sure that my flag is not in vain!

"Director Wu, can you stop touching my leg?"

Liang Jiahui pulled Wu Xiaozu's hand away grumpily, and said angrily, "Take care of the mood of my new best actor, okay?"

Liang Jiahui naturally had some guesses about himself as the actor.

I was a little annoyed, but I also understood what this actor trophy pair represented.

"..."

Wu Xiaozu withdraws his hand in embarrassment, this kind of habitual action must... see the people beside him clearly.

He was not nervous at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, and he was not so excited when he won a series of unheard of film awards such as the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival.

At this moment, he has a kind of eagerness for a player to warm up.Because, he clearly saw the coming of the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies.The enthusiasm for creation of the older generation has not diminished, the Mesozoic generation has started to set off a wave of movies, and the new generation is also sharpening their knives. This kind of anticipation of competing with masters on the same stage makes Wu Xiaozu enjoy it very much.

He conspired?
He's brazen?
Has he run out of tricks?
However, it cannot be denied that he is still a filmmaker!Under the premise of women, money and good looks, how could he not like fame?

It has been said that anyone who enters the showbiz either seeks fame or profit.

Wu Xiaozu admits that he is a layman, he never wants to be the so-called uncrowned king.I don't even want to wait for Hong Kong Island movies to wither and get on the stage.

What he has to do is to fight against these masters one by one, and then smash them!
As the saying goes, think about your own girl in the first half of the night, and think about other people's girl in the second half of the night.

Rubbing his lips lightly, Wu Xiaozu stared at the stage.

"The one who won the Best Director of the [-]th Academy Award—" Yan Hao opened the envelope, his eyes widened, a little surprised, but also a little helpless.

"Wu Xiaozu's "The Birth of a Prefix"!"

"boom!!!"

As Yan Hao reluctantly revealed the answer, the scene burst into cheers, and a dozen men in windbreakers stood up suddenly, clapping and reveling.

"Azu!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui sent congratulatory words to Wu Xiaozu one by one.

"……Ha ha……"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Wu Xiaozu's mouth, he stood up slowly, and then lightly pressed his hands towards Liu Weijun, Qiu Litao and others, then flung his windbreaker and walked towards the stage.

"..."

Wu Yusen stared at Wu Xiaozu. Although he expected that it would be difficult for him to win the award, he still didn't think Wu Xiaozu could win the award...

"Him? Why?"

"He is the new wave standard bearer..." Tsui Hark coughed dryly, reminding him.

I'm so crazy!Wu Yusen's face changed instantly.He has never calculated that Wu Xiaozu has been erected by film critics as a "new standard bearer!"

I can also do New Wave! !

Wu Yusen stared at Wu Xiaozu who walked onto the stage lightly and calmly, shouting in his heart.

"New Wave standard bearer? Him?"

Wu Yusen looked at Tsui Hark, "Has your new wave changed so much? He is obviously commercial..." He choked up when he said this, let alone "The Birth of a Prefix" and "Rainy Night Butcher" are really true A bit of a New Wave aftertaste...

""The Birth of a Prefix" deserves the award!" Tsui Hark said.

As Tsui Hark said, "The Birth of a Prefix" deserves the award!
"The Birth of a Prefix" can be regarded as an epoch-making product of film structure, and has successively won many intercontinental and international awards.

The whole film is full of creative expressions in terms of structure, light and shadow shaping. At the same time, Wu Xiaozu also expressed the fate and cause and effect of the East in the Western style of light and shadow for the first time in a Hong Kong film.

In terms of directing skills, it is indeed worthy of an Academy Award.

"Pop Street Boy..."

Looking at Wu Xiaozu who was slowly walking onto the stage, Li Hanxiang cursed with a smile.There was some praise in his eyes.Best Director, Wu Xiaozu deserves his name.

"The Birth of a Prefix" presents something that is more shocking to the insider.This is a work that is enough to change the understanding of many filmmakers.

Wu Xiaozu stepped onto the stage and watched Yan Hao reluctantly award the "Two-headed Monster" to himself.

Yan Hao has reason to resist.They never regarded Wu Xiaozu as part of the new wave.

Wu Xiaozu broke the shackles of the new wave for the first time.In the previous life, Lin Lingdong was supposed to end this shackle.

"Thank you for the judges' recognition, thank you."

Wu Xiaozu fiddled with the trophy unhurriedly, and said softly into the microphone, "As we all know, I didn't come from a major, and I didn't have a famous teacher to guide me. In this circle, I am a complete newcomer.

For movies, each of us filmmakers has our own ideas.The discipline of film is both simple and complex.But anyway, when I entered this circle, I was in a great awe of this art!
Every movie, I walk on eggshells.I often say to myself that other people are a carp who has practiced for 500 years and jumped the dragon gate to become a dragon.

and I?It turned out to be a loach. It first practiced for 1000 years and became a carp, and then it took 500 years for it to jump the dragon gate.

If we fail together, many people will still be a carp, but I will become a loach.How dare I not be cautious? "

Wu Xiaozu's tone was very light and the rhythm was very slow, but it made the scene quiet.

Looking at the contemplative people below, Wu Xiaozu smiled.

　This chapter has been changed, from 2000 words to 4000 words.I asked the editor in charge, and book friends who have subscribed will not charge more.Originally, I saw some friends raised objections in the book review area, so I will explain it a little bit in the article. "The True Colors of Heroes" is excellent, and Fa Ge won the best actor is not a sure thing, Jinma Dilong won him.His performances in the first three sessions would not be lost to brother Xiao Ma, but he still failed to return!

　　I think double yolk eggs are justified.Sometimes, an excellent movie does not necessarily win an award.

　　Historically, "The True Colors of Heroes" did not really sweep the Academy Awards.Only won Best Picture and Best Actor.We admire a movie, but don't blindly worship a work.
