Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1208

If Brigitte Lin could be invited to act as the heroine of her own movie, such a thing is believed to be the dream of many directors present.

But it's a pity that everyone has the idea of ​​inviting Brigitte Lin, but they don't have the budget to invite her.

At this time, except for New Oriental, Dibao, and Golden Harvest, these three companies can produce large-scale productions of a Hong Kong film, and other independent film production companies or filmmakers simply cannot afford this money.

So it's no wonder Brigitte Lin can only act in films produced by Lin Daoqiu in recent years. Apart from the fact that she is an artist from New Oriental, the salary is also the biggest reason that hinders others from hiring her.

Compared with Brigitte Lin, Gu Meihua who just won "Best Newcomer" and "Best Actress" at the Academy Awards, she has not become the object of everyone's pursuit.

If Brigitte Lin is because of the salary and Lin Daoqiu, then the reason why everyone dare not invite Gu Meihua is very simple.

"The Year Like Water" was invested and filmed by Xia Meng's Jade Bird Film Production Co., Ltd. This film not only went to the mainland for filming, but also invited many mainland actors.

It is precisely because of this that the main creator of this play is naturally isolated from the Baodao market.

Even many behind-the-scenes personnel in this drama chose pseudonyms instead of their real names for their own considerations. For example, Zhang Shuping used the pseudonym "Zhang Shuping".

Therefore, although Gu Meihua has won many awards, once she uses her words, she will be abandoned by the Baodao market. This kind of thing is the same as that of Liang Jiahui last year.

At the Golden Statue Awards dinner, everyone was teasing in private. Last year Leung Ka Fai was banned by Baodao, and this year Gu Meihua came again. I don't know if it was arranged by Lin Daoqiu.

But in fact, Gu Meihua's award this year has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu at all, it was all selected by the judges, but the public didn't know about it at all, and thought it was arranged by Lin Daoqiu.

As the lifetime honorary chairman of the Academy Awards, Lin Daoqiu is the host of this dinner tonight. After everyone is present, Lin Daoqiu has to give a speech on stage.

"Welcome everyone to the Academy Awards dinner tonight. I said a lot at the Academy Awards ceremony just now, so I won't talk nonsense here. This is for everyone to relax and rest. I hope you have a good night. "

Lin Daoqiu's speech was very simple. After all, the Academy Award Dinner is a place for everyone to eat and rest.

It would obviously not be appropriate to make a long speech here at this time.

However, even though Lin Daoqiu said this, someone still came to toast with a wine glass. Such a thing cannot be avoided.

For example, Zheng Zeshi, the actor who just won the Academy Award, brought Zeng Zhiwei over.

"Mr. Lin..."

"Congratulations to Mr. Zheng. Not only was the filming of "My Divorced Bean" well done, but Mr. Zheng's performance in the film was also very good. He deserved the Academy Award."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had never watched "The Divorced Bean" at all, but he had heard people say that the filming of this movie was good.

At least Zheng Zeshi has paid attention to the social issues of middle-aged divorce, and there is no lack of food for thought in his smile. It is indeed an excellent movie.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. In fact, I never thought that I would win the award tonight. This is a great encouragement from the Academy Awards."

Zheng Zeshi was very humble. He didn't realize that he really won the award until he was holding the trophy of the Academy Award.

"I would have played the leading actor if I knew it earlier. He is lucky. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor. I couldn't even win "Best Supporting Actor". I still have to be the host for one night."

Zeng Zhiwei on the side complained, but in fact he also knew that Zheng Zeshi was indeed better than him in the play.

If the two were switched, he might not be able to perform as well as Zheng Zeshi.

"The future is long. If you are interested in acting, I believe you will have the opportunity one day."

Lin Daoqiu's words sounded like he was encouraging Zeng Zhiwei, but when he listened carefully, it seemed that he was just talking casually.

In fact, Zeng Zhiwei won an Academy Award for "Best Actor" in his previous life, but Lin Daoqiu didn't know about it at all.

At the No.92 Golden Image Award Ceremony in 11, Zeng Zhiwei won the Golden Image Award by virtue of his outstanding performance in "A Tale of Two Cities", beating Lu Liangwei, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau.

In fact, at the beginning, Zeng Zhiwei was not very popular. After all, the films that competed with him at that time included "Pohao", "Across the World", "Play Back To School", "The Legend of [-] Million Detective Lei Luo" and other excellent films. Movie.

But Zeng Zhiwei still overcame obstacles all the way, and finally became the best actor of the No.11 Academy Awards.

In the history of the Academy Awards, Zeng Zhiwei has served as a host many times more than he has won awards.

"Mr. Lin, don't be joking, how can a person like me win the Academy Award, just kidding."

Zeng Zhiwei quickly shook his hand. He didn't think too much about the winner of the Academy Awards. After all, in his opinion, the most important thing is to make money from making movies.

Unless the actor who won the Academy Award can bring him huge profits, then maybe he will consider fighting for this award.

But if winning this award won't bring much benefit, then Zeng Zhiwei will naturally not waste his time on it.

After a brief chat with Zheng Zeshi and Zeng Zhiwei, another group of people came to toast.

Maijia, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen walked over together.

This year, New Art City did not win the Golden Image Awards, but Mai Jia and others didn't care about it at all.

After all, compared to the tastes of the judges, they all shoot comedy-themed movies aimed at the box office, so it is actually quite normal not to win an award.

"You guys came just in time. I have something I want to talk to you about. Let's sit down and talk."

Before Mai Jia and the others had time to speak, Lin Daoqiu asked them to sit down.

The three of them didn't know what Lin Daoqiu was going to say, but they sat down obediently.

"New Art City did not perform at the Academy Awards this year. What do you think is the reason for this?"

Lin Daoqiu asked the question so bluntly in front of the three of them, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Mr. Lin, maybe it's because last year New Art City filmed mostly comedy films and rarely filmed literary films, so it's normal that they didn't have much performance at this year's Academy Awards."

Gao Zhisen's statement was immediately agreed by Mai Jia and Huang Baiming.

Looking at the films that won the three Academy Awards, most of them are literary films and drama films.

Like comedies and films that are too commercial, it is difficult to do much at the Academy Awards.

"Do you really think so?"
