Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1198 Who Is The Dark Horse
Although the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Qiu Degen has almost dropped to a freezing point recently, ATV is responsible for the broadcast of the Academy Awards. This matter has lasted for two years, and this year is the third year.

No matter what has happened recently, everything is ready, and if something goes wrong at this time, God knows what will happen.

Fortunately, Qiu Degen didn't intend to make a fuss about it, even if the relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu deteriorated, ATV might not be able to broadcast the Academy Awards.

But after investing so much manpower and material resources this year, Qiu Degen still decided to let ATV cooperate well with the broadcast of the Academy Awards.

As for whether ATV will continue to have the broadcasting rights of the Academy Awards next year, Qiu Degen is very pessimistic about it.

After all, the future of the Academy Awards is unanimously optimistic by everyone, and the TV ratings of the annual Academy Awards event will increase.

If the Golden Statue Awards breaks through Asia and goes to the whole world, people in other regions must communicate with ATV if they want to watch the broadcast of the Golden Statue Awards. This is a good opportunity to connect with the world.

But it's a pity that all of this seems to have turned into a mirror image, which made Qiu Degen feel very sorry.

On the day of the Academy Awards ceremony, ATV also sent a special news team to do a special follow-up report.

At 06:30 in the evening, outside the Xintiandi Theater under Xiangjiang Cinemas, ATV has already started the final preparations before the live broadcast.

This year's lineup of hosts is more luxurious than in previous years. Lin Jianming, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xinjian and Mi Xue are responsible for the interviews of the red carpet ceremony.

Different from previous years, this year's Golden Statue Awards added the award for Best Special Effects. Almost everyone believed that this award must have been created by Lin Daoqiu.

After all, whether it is "Tomb Raider" or the "Godzilla" against the sky, in terms of special effects technology, it can be said that it is not only invincible in Xiangjiang, but also the same in the world.

Judging from the list of nominees announced after the previous primary election, among the films selected for this year's Academy Awards, the most popular film is "The Years Like Water" directed by Yan Hao.

Although this movie, which was screened in Yindu Cinemas, only received a box office of just over 400 million yuan, the judges who had watched the movie gave it unanimous praise.

Another well-received movie is "Waiting for Dawn" produced by Di Bao, starring Chow Yun-fat and Ye Tong. This movie won a box office of 700 million last year.

However, some people believe that this year's "Godzilla" is likely to become the biggest dark horse in the Academy Awards.

Although the protagonist of this play is a monster, the film itself doesn't have much depth.

But in any case, this is also a film produced locally in Xiangjiang, and it has become the highest-grossing film in the world.

If "Godzilla" really becomes the biggest winner of the Academy Awards by then, I believe no one will think there is any problem with this.

As soon as [-] o'clock in the evening arrived, the broadcast of the Academy Awards officially kicked off.

"Hello, everyone in front of the TV. Now everyone is watching the live broadcast of the third Academy Awards. I am Lin Jianming. Good evening everyone."

Lin Jianming, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xinjian and Michelle greeted the audience in front of the TV in turn.

"Zhiwei, what do you think of this year's Academy Awards?"

"Sister Sha, in fact, my opinion is very simple, that is, I definitely won't win the award, otherwise I wouldn't be here to host."

Zeng Zhiwei was still in Dibao last year, but he shot small productions. He returned to New Art City this year and has not started a movie yet. Most of the time he was helping Maijia and Tsui Hark.

Lin Jianming smiled and shook her head, she simply passed Zeng Zhiwei to ask Chen Xinjian.

"I think this year's Academy Awards is very interesting. There are literary films, action films, and very powerful special effects films. I don't know which one will win the judges' favor."

Chen Xinjian went on to say: "I believe that all the people including myself, among all the selected movies, the only movie they have seen is "Godzilla". Whether this movie is good or not, there should be no doubts. "

There is really nothing wrong with "Godzilla". Everyone who watched this movie for the first time was stunned by the special effects in it.

But the problem is that the protagonist of "Godzilla" is Godzilla himself, and the other characters are supporting roles.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu didn't invite any well-known actors to play the role. Most of the movie revolves around Godzilla, so the actors of this movie definitely cannot be shortlisted for the best actor and actress award.

While they were still chatting, a Mercedes Benz car had already stopped slowly in front of the red carpet.

Judging by the previous common sense, the first guest to appear must be the rotating chairman of the Academy Awards.

When the car door opened, Chu Yuan slowly got out of the car. He is the rotating chairman of this year's Golden Statue Awards, and he is also the person responsible for bringing the briefcase to the scene.

"Hello, Director Chu, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the rotating chairman of this year's Academy Awards."

Lin Jianming was in charge of interviewing Chu Yuan.

"That's right, everyone thinks that the rotating chairman of the Academy Awards must be very powerful, but in fact, I think the function of this position is to deliver this document bag safely to the scene, nothing more."

Chu Yuan joked with a smile, but in fact, the rotating chairman of the Golden Statue Awards has a lot to do.

At least compared to others, Chu Yuan knew who the awards belonged to earlier.

After chatting briefly for a while, Chen Xinjian finally asked Chu Yuan a question.

"Do you think "Godzilla" will become the biggest dark horse at the Academy Awards this evening?"

Regarding Chen Xinjian's question, Chu Yuan could only smile and shook his head.

After all, as the rotating chairman of the Academy Awards, he cannot disclose any information related to the awards in advance. This is the most basic common sense that needs to be followed.

"Obviously I'm not fit to answer this question, but in my opinion, as long as it's a good movie, no matter what genre it is, the most important thing is that it can be loved by the audience."

This can be regarded as an insight Chu Yuan gained from filming for so many years.

After the interview was over, Chu Yuan walked into the theater, and on the other side, two Mercedes-Benz cars had already parked in front of the red carpet.

When the camera turned around, the doors of the two cars opened at the same time, and Yuan Heping, Brigitte Lin, and Jackie Chan were seen walking towards them together.

This is the crew of "Tomb Raider", which was also the most successful action film in Xiangjiang last year. Although Jackie Chan is not the protagonist, he also participated in the performance, so he specially took time to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

As for the producer and screenwriter of this play, Lin Daoqiu, he had already entered the venue at this time. After all, he himself is a very low-key character who doesn't like to be in the limelight.
