Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1051 Not coming next year

The winner of the last Academy Award for Best Actress was Ye Tong from "Seven Days of Love".

Her first movie was "Youth in Fire" released in 1982, and the leading actor in this movie was Leslie Cheung.

What's interesting is that the producers of "Fire Youth" are Liu Zhenwei and Yu Yunkang.

The former made many classic movies, such as "Journey to the West", "The Saint of Gamblers", etc., and even played the role of Patriarch Bodhi in "Journey to the West".

And Yu Yunkang is a well-known director of horror films in Xiangjiang Films. He has filmed horror films such as "Mountain Dog", "The Killing List", "The Killing Cat", and "Haunted Hospital".

But it is a pity that horror films can only be regarded as niche films in Hong Kong. Yu Yunkang, who could not make money in the film market, quit the film industry and turned to the financial investment industry.

At this time, the actors who were shortlisted for the Best Actress in the Academy Awards all had nervous expressions on their faces.

Because the four of them are shortlisted for the Best Actress of the Academy Awards for the first time, they all have different views on this award.

With the sound of intensive drumbeats, the hearts of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV slowly rose to their throats.

"The actor who won the Best Actress award at the [-]nd Academy Award is... Icy Chen from "Legend of Sword and Fairy"..."

After Brigitte Brigitte announced the result loudly in public, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

When the camera turned to Chen Yulian, she still had a dumbfounded expression.

With "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Chen Yulian won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Before that, Chen Yulian never expected such a result.

"Alian, congratulations."

Leslie Cheung found that Chen Yulian was still there motionless, so he patted her on the shoulder lightly.

After being photographed by Leslie Cheung, Chen Yulian suddenly woke up.

"Did I win an award?"

Chen Yulian looked a little uncertain, she looked at Leslie Cheung and asked with doubts.

After she saw the other party smiling and nodding, Chen Yulian could be sure that she had really won the award.

In fact, when the news came out that Idy Chan was shortlisted for Best Actress in the Academy Awards, Icy Chan herself was very happy at first.

However, everyone she met later told her that the judges of the Academy Awards pay more attention to literary and drama films, which can be seen from the fact that literary films swept the Academy Awards last year.

And "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a complete commercial film, which is obviously not at the same level as the taste of the judges of the Academy Awards.

So everyone advised Chen Yulian not to have too high expectations, just go through the motions.

If she hadn't heard these words at the time, Chen Yulian might still have some hope, but she heard too many such words, and she herself felt that the possibility of winning the Academy Award was almost zero.

But when the result came out, Chen Yulian was completely confused.

In the end, she didn't even know how she took over the Academy Award from Lin Qingxia.

"I would like to thank the judges of the Golden Statue Awards, director Hu Jinquan, and Mr. Lin. I would like to especially thank the audience who liked the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy". I am really happy to receive this award."

Like Li Saifeng, Chen Yulian did not prepare the winning lines, because she never thought that she would win the award at the beginning.

Chen Yulian was delivering her award acceptance speech on the stage, and some filmmakers in the audience had already started discussing it.

Especially the guys at Baocheng Cinemas felt that this year's Golden Statue Awards had been completely manipulated by Lin Daoqiu.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is undoubtedly the biggest winner. The direction of the Academy Awards is no longer biased towards literary and drama films, but almost towards commercial films.

"What are you talking about to lead Xiangjiang films to the world? How can there be any fairness and justice in the Golden Statue Awards?"

"Keep your voice down, if Mr. Lin hears it, you won't even have a chance to be shortlisted next year."

"That's not true. After all, Mr. Lin still needs others to set off, and it doesn't cost money anyway."

Shi Tian and those guys chatted happily, but unfortunately they couldn't change the status quo no matter what they said.

"Mr. Pan shouldn't have agreed to participate in the Golden Statue Awards at the beginning. If this is the case, the influence of the Golden Statue Awards will not increase day by day. Anyway, I will definitely not come next year."

Speaking of this, Shi Tian felt very angry. He had even made up his mind that he would definitely not come to participate in any Golden Statue Awards next year.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as him, but they all hold back in their hearts and dare not speak out.

Shi Tian's complaints did not interrupt the progress of the Academy Awards. After the Best Actress was awarded, the next award was the Best Actor.

"The actors shortlisted for Best Actor are..."

Zheng Shaoqiu of "New Shushan Swordsman", Leslie Cheung of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhong Zhentao of "Seven Days of Love", Leung Ka Fai of "Listening to the Government" and Wang Zhengfang of "Halfside Man".

"Guess what is the chance of Leslie Cheung winning the best actor."

Shi Tian felt that the best actor award should go to Leslie Cheung.

But Tsui Hark has a different opinion on this.

"Probably not. I think Zhong Zhentao and Wang Zhengfang have a great chance."

Although he said so, Tsui Hark was not fully sure that Lin Daoqiu would not play tricks inside.

But doing so is too obvious, unless Lin Daoqiu doesn't care about outside voices at all, then of course it's okay to do so.

"I think the award to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is well deserved, and tonight is the harvest night of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

The special effects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are really nothing to say, but the connotation of this play is extremely superficial. It focuses more on the relationship between men and women, and there is nothing deeper.

If Leslie Cheung is really awarded the best actor in the Academy Awards, then I am afraid that this year's Academy Awards will definitely be questioned by the public.

"The actor who won the Best Actor at the [-]nd Hong Kong Film Awards is..."

At this time, the five shortlisted male stars looked calm.

Although Leslie Cheung vaguely felt that he had hope, but like Chen Yulian, he was advised not to have too much hope.

As for Tony Leung Ka Fai, this is the first time he has played the leading role. Originally, he followed Li Hanxiang to the mainland to work as an assistant director, but somehow he played Xianfeng and became the leading actor.

To say that this experience was too special for Leung Ka Fai, as for Best Actor, he never thought about it from the beginning to the end. After all, his last nomination was Best Newcomer.

If he didn't even win the best newcomer, how could he possibly win the best actor.

""Listen to the government behind the curtain" Leung Ka Fai..."

When Lin Zixiang announced the list of winners, all the people around were completely shocked.

"Jiahui, congratulations on your award."

Li Hanxiang never expected that Leung Ka Fai would actually win the award.

"Me? I won an award?"

Liang Jiahui looked at Li Hanxiang blankly, he couldn't turn his mind for a while, how did he win the award?This is not a dream.
