China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 467 Refreshing history is disgusting (update 56)

The chairman of the Academy Awards, Wen Jun, came forward in person, and it took 20 minutes to barely control the situation.

But the scene was too chaotic just now, and although the red carpet was not in a mess afterwards, it was still a bit messy, and it took up a lot of time, so the rest of the artists couldn't even think about walking the red carpet normally.

This is still a trivial matter. After all, the heavyweight artists have basically come here. Even if they don't show up, they are mostly award presenters, so it doesn't matter if they have to show their faces.

The most important thing is that the chaos just now has been broadcast live by wireless TV.

I don’t know how many viewers saw the crazy scene just now, the incident of the “sabotage” of the red carpet of the Academy Awards, it’s hard to say whether it will make the headlines tomorrow, but it must be a heavy news that cannot be avoided.

Thinking of this, the white-haired Wen Jun couldn't help but glance at Cao Xuan resentfully, Cao Tianwang returned an innocent expression.

He was still a little guilty just now, mainly because he was afraid of a stampede accident, but since the audience was fine, it was luck among misfortunes.

As for the others, Cao Xuan didn't think about it. In this incident, he was also a "victim"...

After the incident subsided, and before the awards ceremony started, various Xiangjiang bigwigs came over to say hello to Cao Xuan.

Artists are not first-line, and directors, screenwriters and other industries are not representatives of the industry, and they can't get close to them at all.

In the end, the only people talking around Cao Xuan were the bosses of Xiangjiang Film and Television Company, and the chairman of the Academy Awards, Wen Jun, was there to help light the cigars.

Seeing this scene, Zha Zhahui, who was the award presenter and host, was dumbfounded, and looked at Zeng Zhiwei next to him.

"That one is so powerful, what choice does the actor have?"

"Choose a fart."

Zeng Zhiwei's distinctive voice sounded. He is also a figure in the Hong Kong circle, and he has been the host of the Hong Kong Film Awards for many years. If he knows the inside information, it is a detailed one.

"Do you know that Yinghuang and several bosses go to the capital to visit the pier a few times a year?

Do you know that Chairman Wen publicly claimed to vote for Cao Sheng when "New World" was still in Hong Kong?
Did you know that this year's Golden Statue Awards were not sponsored, and that Chairman Wen went to the capital without success, so he got 500 million Hong Kong dollars in sponsorship. This year's Golden Statue Awards are the most well-funded one since the new century.

There is one more thing about you, do you know that this year's host is not you, but Du XX. It is said that Cao Sheng didn't like him, so he was changed. "

As soon as the news broke out, Zeng Zhiwei looked at the stunned Zha Zhahui, and patted him on the shoulder playfully.

"Young boy, the water is deep here."

After finishing speaking, he left with a smile on his face, leaving only Zha Zhahui with a world-collapsed expression on his face.

He made his debut in 1989 and has been in the industry for 20 years, and he is still not very popular.

Xiangjiang actor's highest honor Hall of Fame Award was only nominated for "Best Actor" once in 1999. Compared with Cao Xuan, Zha Zhahui even had the idea of ​​changing careers.

However, if Cao Xuan heard the phone call from the two of them just now, he would definitely tell him.

The water was not as deep as he thought!
The cooperation between Cao Xuan and the Hong Kong circle does hold the initiative, and there are also many bigwigs in the Hong Kong circle who fawn on him, but it is far from being able to control it at will, or even directly interfere with the selection of the Academy Awards.

The main reason for many of Wen Jun's actions is almost unabashed, is because "New World" is already a big hit.

"New World" breaks the box office record for Hong Kong and Hong Kong films. Cao Xuan performed well and contributed a very good performance.

You must know that "Infernal Affairs", which was even weaker than "New World", slaughtered golden horses and golden statues, and almost everyone recognized that the best actor of that year was the dispute between Liang and Liu.

"New World" is even bigger than "Infernal Affairs". Not only Xiangjiang box office is the king, but also in the mainland and Asian markets. Cao Xuan naturally became the biggest favorite of this year's best actor.

Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan loses, tomorrow's headlines will start with [Shocking Upset].

This is the most fundamental reason. The premise of all the "preferential treatment" is that Cao Xuan's strength is guaranteed.

If it is said that Cao Xuan's film achievements and performance are mediocre, and he can't convince the audience after winning the award, Wen Jun would rather step down next year than risk the world's disgrace to Cao Xuan's actor, that is equivalent to tearing the face of the Hong Kong circle to Cao Xuan step on.

But now Cao Xuan is recognized as a big hit, winning the award will not affect the credibility of the Academy Awards, and it is not shameful to give him the best actor.

In other words, since "New World" broke the box office record of Hong Kong films, the face of the Hong Kong circle has already been lost on Cao Xuan, and it doesn't matter if there is one more golden actor.

Since this is the case, many people are willing to go along with the flow, to help Cao Xuan once, to ask for some benefits by the way, and to help the Golden Statue Award gain a fair reputation.

And Cao Xuan's wish has been fulfilled, and he is willing to help out and give some feedback and rewards to "good friends".

Everyone is mutually beneficial, each takes what they need, cooperates for a win-win situation, develops together, and works hard together to build a beautiful and harmonious film ecology on both sides of the strait...

Thinking of this, Cao Daguan couldn't help crying.

So positive!
But there is one thing to say, Du Gou was indeed replaced by Cao Xuan, but he was only a host, and Cao Xuan, the nominated Huang Laogou, was not easy to manage.

This guy is pretty popular in the Hong Kong circle, and he hasn't been exposed. It's not easy for Cao Yuan to deliberately target him. The only thing he can do is to close the doors to all the projects in Fanxing System to these people.

In fact, sometimes, Cao Xuan would rather want these people to jump out and provoke him, and then slap him to death, to finish the matter completely.

But it's a pity that this group of people are stupid and bad, but they are not stupid enough. Even if they faintly feel that they are being rejected by Cao Xuan, they dare not open their mouths to bark at Cao Xuan.

After all, the government may still take into account the influence. Many things are difficult to handle, and at most they will be blocked, but there are many ways for a top rich man to vent his anger behind his back.

Especially those in Xiangjiang who have experienced the oppression of the associations in the last century and experienced cruel tactics, they have a deeper understanding and fear of Cao Xuan, a big man with all-hands-on-hand skills, than mainland artists.

Not to mention, the status of Zeng Xiaozi just now is not inferior to Huang Laogou in the Hong Kong circle, and even surpassed it. In the past two years, the person who talked cheaply and arranged for the sheep boss was beaten into a pig's head in public.

If Principal Tan, Cheng Long and others hadn't helped to intercede, they might still be hiding from the limelight now.

Spray on Cao Xuan, I'm afraid that Boss Cao didn't make a move, and there will be a group of "good friends" who have stabbed in the ribs to help vent their anger and stab them twice...

.........

Amid the turmoil, the awards ceremony officially began soon, with Cao Xuan sitting in the middle of the third row.

Sitting around him are Liu Tianwang, Liang Jiahui, Guo Tianwang, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Gongzi, International Zhang, Zhou Jielun, Li Bingbing and others. They can be called the stars of the moon, and the live broadcast camera will sweep over after a while.

The first award is "Best Newcomer", there is almost no suspense. Last year, "Initial D", which ranked second in Hong Kong's domestic box office, starred Jay Chou.

Really, Xiao Zhou's route is getting closer and closer to Cao Xuan's now.

Sing but perform well, the first film he starred in hit the box office and won an award, but Cao Xuan won the Golden Horse [Best Newcomer] and was shortlisted for the current Golden Horse Best Actor, while Xiao Zhou only won the [Golden Statue Newcomer].

Looking at Xiao Zhou on stage, many people seemed to see another Cao Xuan.

However, it took only one year for Cao Xuanna to become the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers double-crowned actor. I don't know how many years it will take for Xiao Zhou to become the first authoritative actor.

Cao Xuan pulled Goldfinger. Anyway, I have never heard that Xiao Zhou has won any Best Actor, and it seems that he has not even been nominated.

Xiao Zhou was quite unhappy when his personal masterpiece "The Unspeakable Secret" was not nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. He described his mood as "a child who scored 100 points in the test, but was still beaten by his parents when he returned home".

It can be seen that Xiao Zhou was quite excited after winning the award, and his testimonials also said that he was a little excited and second-year, and even faintly revealed his expectation of winning the best actor in the future. For this, Cao Xuan, who is the big brother, can only give his blessings silently.

The subsequent awards Cao Xuan is a tool man, worthy of everyone's applause and applause.

No way, he was really tortured when he came to the Academy Awards because he couldn't understand Cantonese.

Even though Cao Xuan was not familiar with the Grammys and Oscars before, he could understand what they said, and some jokes could make people laugh.

But Cantonese is still a bit difficult for him, and Mandarin is almost completely two languages. Cao Xuan came to Xiangjiang to film for several months, and he can barely understand some ordinary dialogues so far.

However, this group of award presenters and acceptance speeches were fast and familiar with each other, and Cao Xuan was completely at a loss for all kinds of jokes.

He knows why artists from the mainland and Taiwan rarely come to the Hong Kong Film Awards. The sense of participation is too weak, and there is even a faint loneliness of being excluded.

It's fine if you can win the prize, but if you can't win the prize, whoever comes is willing to be a marionette.

Cao Xuan shook his head inwardly as he saw Li Bingbing, who was the guest of honor presenting the award, speaking in poor Cantonese.

He doesn't have an opinion on Cantonese, but Mandarin is indeed the language standard in China.

If the Golden Statue Awards does not break the shackles of localities and get rid of strong regional labels such as Cantonese and Hong Kong films, it will never become the first award for Chinese-language films, and may become history with the decline of Hong Kong films.

This is not alarmist talk. When the Golden Goblet Award of Shanghai Metropolis Film Festival was in later generations, its influence has gradually caught up.

The three gold medals in Chinese, the golden rooster has the official body of the mainland, and it is getting more and more stable. If the golden horse didn't take the initiative to kill, the golden statue award would be the first to bear the brunt.

But if you still don’t seek change, I’m afraid it will decline day by day in the future. For example, TVB’s Shidishihou, at its peak, is even more popular than Flying Golden Eagle. There is heat.

But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan, he can't control it if he wants to. Instead of thinking about the future of the Academy Awards, he should care about how many awards "New World" can win.

Soon, New World won [Best Screenplay] and [Best Sound Effects], and [Best Editing] lost to "Sanchakou" starring Guo Tianwang.

And [Best Supporting Actor], Liang Jiahui was a little upset, and actually defeated the most popular Sun Honglei, and won this award with the role of Superintendent Gou.

Cao Xuan was still puzzled at first, but soon understood why.

This year's Golden Statue Best Actor was won by Mr. Zhou from "If Love", and Cao Xuan lived up to expectations and won the Golden Statue Best Actor.

It is the first time that the best actor and actress has been taken over by a mainland actor at the Academy Awards. Another [Best Actor] is too ugly, so Sun Honglei can only be "sacrificed".

The two came to the stage to accept the awards one by one. The best actresses were awarded to Liu Tianwang and Zheng Yuling, and the best actors were awarded to Liang Chaowei and the International Chapter.

There is a rule for the Golden Statue Awards. The actor and actress who won the award this year will be the award presenter next year. This can be regarded as a kind of thank you to the organizing committee, and it can also help the platform to attract some popularity.

Generally, it is not a special case, and most of the award-winning actor and actress will save face.

If there is no accident, Cao Xuan and Mr. Zhou will have to come back for the Golden Statue Awards next year.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you Liang Sheng and Ziyi."

Cao Xuan read a few words in Cantonese, and then switched to Mandarin proficiently: "First of all, for this award, I would like to thank all my colleagues in the film crew, as well as all my friends who helped me during the filming and screening, my parents, relatives and friends, and even more so, all the audience who supported me. ..."

Most of the previous winners were very excited, for example, Mr. Zhou choked up tears on the spot.

In contrast, Cao Xuan calmed down a lot. He won too many awards. Even if the Academy Award gave him the Lifetime Honor Award, he would not cry.

There was nothing to say in the award acceptance speech. In fact, Cao Xuan wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the comprehensive film and television cooperation between the mainland and Xiangjiang, and then he felt boring. I guess not many people are willing to listen, so he said it was normal. Ordinary testimonials.

But Cao Xuan is calm, others are not.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou said that before the Golden Image Awards, a female artist from the mainland had won the first prize.

For example, the previous International Chapter dates back to the 1985 sheep fetus... Teacher Siqin Gaowa.

However, Cao Xuan is the only mainland actor since the 25th Academy Awards, and the only actor who is not from Xiangjiang among the 15 winners (repeatedly awarded).

There is no one before, and there may be no one in the future.

Apart from Li Lianjie, there is no actor who is not from Xiangjiang in the original time and space who has won the best actor award.

And Li Lianjie's career rose in Hong Kong to a large extent. Like Wang Fei, he is a representative of Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong music circles in the eyes of many people, and he belongs to the Hong Kong circle.

There is also the issue of Li Lianjie's nationality. One said that he became an American citizen in the 90s, another said that he joined Singapore in 2007, and another said that he joined Singapore in 2009.

No matter which statement is correct, this person has become a foreign Chinese, and Cao Xuan is still a scorpion daddy—a poison (only)!
Although Cao Xuan himself felt disgusted, he still had to say that Cao Xuan created a new history with both hands.

Moreover, Cao Xuan has become one of the few double-gold actor winners, charging towards the first Chinese-language triple-gold actor grand slam in history...
