Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1201 Special Best Newcomer

The first award to be presented tonight is the Academy Award for "Best Editing".

The award presenters invited two veterans in the industry.

In the end, the first award of this year, "Best Editing", was won by "The Years Like Water".

For the award of "Best Editing", not many people actually care about it. After all, what everyone pays most attention to is the awards for directors and characters.

Other technical awards have never been the focus of public attention, and more people in the industry will pay more attention to this aspect.

The next "Best Cinematography" was won by "Waiting for Dawn" starring Chow Yun-fat.

As the two most popular movies at this year's Academy Awards, "Waiting for Dawn" and "The Years Like Water" are two movies that everyone is more optimistic about.

After all, special effects movies like "Godzilla", in everyone's opinion, either win a big victory, or only win one or two awards.

And in those major awards, the movie "Godzilla" can't compete with other movies, so everyone is still more optimistic about those more traditional literary films.

In the past two years, Chow Yun-fat has made a lot of literary films. Although he is still on TVB, he is actually tired of making TV series.

Moreover, the relationship between him and TVB has been very tense recently because of the renewal of the contract. Fang Yathua has ordered him to be frozen in the hope that Chow Yun Fat will follow suit.

But Chow Yun-fat resisted Fang Yat-wah's pressure, and after the filming of "Waiting for Dawn", he might have to rest for at least half a year.

Sitting next to Chow Yun-fat is Ye Tong, she is the heroine of "Waiting for Dawn" and one of the candidates for best actress tonight.

In the past two years, Ye Tong's development in the film industry has been relatively smooth. Last year, with "Seven Days of Love", Ye Tong also got a nomination for Best Actress, but unfortunately lost to Chen Yulian.

However, for Ye Tong, as a newcomer who has just entered the industry, it is already a matter of gratitude that she can be selected as the best actress.

And this year she has made a comeback, and has also become a popular candidate for Best Actress in this year's Academy Awards.

"nervous?"

Ye Tong was presenting awards in the stands, when Chow Yun-fat beside him suddenly asked her with a smile.

Ye Tong shook her head with a smile. To her, she was not particularly nervous. After all, this was not the first time.

However, compared with the ignorance when she participated in the Academy Awards last year, this year she has more expectations in her heart. She feels that her performance in "Waiting for Dawn" is very good. Among the other selected people, she should have Competitiveness.

"You are not nervous, but now I am so nervous that my hands are sweating. I thought it would be a very easy thing to participate in the Academy Awards, but I didn't expect to feel the pressure when I was sitting here, especially the drumbeat. "

After the honored guests read out the selected list and before the winners are announced, there will be a burst of intensive drumming on the scene.

I don't know who came up with this idea, but I have to say that when the drums sounded, those who were selected became extremely nervous, and even the neighbors were pinching for them. sweat.

"It's actually okay. If you expect too much, you will be disappointed if you don't get the award in the end, but I think I haven't been in the industry for long, so it's normal not to get the award."

Ye Tong took it very seriously, after all, in her opinion, the actors who can win the Academy Award must be very good, if she doesn't win, it proves that her acting skills can't convince the judges.

At this time, the "Best Newcomer" award will be presented on the stage. Last year, Li Saifeng from "Legend of Sword and Fairy" won the award, and this year she will also be the award presenter.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Saifeng. It's a pleasure to meet you at the Academy Awards."

Li Saifeng is wearing a white dress, matched with her cute and sweet appearance, it is impossible to imagine that her martial arts moves in those action movies are so fierce.

"Actually, the award of "Best Newcomer" is very powerful, not because I have won it, but because no matter how good you are, you can only win this award once. I won this award easily last year. Who will get this award."

Li Saifeng's words made all the guests laugh, but what she said is indeed correct. Compared with "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best Actress", "Best Newcomer" can only be won once, and the It's really not ordinary precious.

"I won't waste everyone's time. Who is on the list of "Best Newcomer"? Please watch the big screen."

After Li Saifeng finished speaking, the big screen immediately lit up, and the narrator began to announce the list of candidates.

Jiang Liping's "I'm Crazy For You", Gu Meihua's "Time Like Water", Yuan Jieying's "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation", Maggie Cheung's "Fate".

Immediately after the selected films were broadcast, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

"The actor who won "Best Newcomer" is... Gu Meihua's "Time Like Water"."

When Gu Meihua's name came out of Li Saifeng's mouth, Gu Meihua's face in the audience was calm, and there was not much excitement on her face.

After the person next to her reminded her, Gu Meihua realized that she had won the award. She quickly got up, then bowed to the person next to her to thank her, and then walked quickly to the stage to receive the award.

"I am very grateful to the Academy Awards for awarding this award to me. In fact, I didn't think I would win the award today. I was really surprised."

Holding the trophy of the Academy Award, Gu Meihua didn't seem to have fully recovered, after all, this was her first time acting.

And the reason why she devoted herself to the showbiz was entirely because of her divorce.

There was news in later generations that the reason why Gu Meihua went to act after the divorce was to earn money for the family.

But later, according to Gu Meihua herself in an interview, she never made movies for money. After all, the salary of newcomers is very low, and it takes a long time to film.

The reason why she can film is more because she just got divorced and doesn't want to stay at home and think about it, so she wants to find something to do for herself.

But it was this decision that allowed Gu Meihua to perform so well in "The Years Like Water" and won her the "Best Newcomer" award at the Academy Awards.

This is probably something she never thought about when she was filming "The Years Like Water".

Few people at the scene knew Gu Meihua, and everyone didn't know where she came from, but her performance in "Time Like Water" was indeed good enough to be awarded the best newcomer.

""Homecoming" has already won two awards, and it looks like this drama is likely to be the big winner tonight."

The person who said this was Chen Baisheng, the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly". I didn't expect him to be at the Golden Image Awards.
