Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 912 Carnival Feast of Literary Movies
Before best actor is awarded, the award for best screenplay will be awarded next.

"The actors selected for the best screenplay are..."

"Police Story" Tang King Sang, "Best Partner" Huang Pak-ming, "I Love Evening Fragrance" Huang Pak-ming, "Mr. Zombie" Lin Daoqiu, "Mr. Zombie" Qiu Gangjian, "Pretty Girl" Wen Jun.

This is Lin Daoqiu's name, the first time it appeared in the nomination list for the Academy Awards.

Originally, when "Police Story" was selected, someone once asked Lin Daoqiu what he meant, whether to add his name to the screenwriter.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu refused without even thinking about it. After all, the real screenwriters of this drama were created by Jackie Chan and Deng Jingsheng. With his own name, others would definitely not say anything, and would even take it for granted.

But in Lin Daoqiu's eyes, he felt that this was still inappropriate, so he simply didn't allow people to add his own name, and only wrote Deng Jingsheng's name.

Although Lin Daoqiu only has one "Mr. Zombie", everyone is waiting to see how the judges of the Academy Awards will choose.

After all, no matter what, Lin Daoqiu's screenwriting ability is obvious to all, and this point can be said to be undisputed.

Even if Lin Daoqiu won the award for Best Screenplay for "Mr. Zombie", everyone was still convinced.

"I announce that the winner of Best Screenplay is..."

The drums sounded again, but except for Lin Daoqiu, the others were still beating the drums, and felt that it was unlikely that they would win the best screenwriter.

""Pretty Girl" Wen Jun..."

After the award presenter announced the result, the scene suddenly fell silent for two seconds, and then burst into warm applause.

Wen Jun obviously didn't expect that he would be able to win the award, and it was only when the people next to him stood up to congratulate him that Wen Jun realized it.

But he immediately turned his head to look at Lin Daoqiu, because in Wen Jun's opinion, the award for best screenwriter should be awarded to Lin Daoqiu instead of him.

After accepting everyone's blessings, Wen Jun hurried to the stage to accept the award.

"To be honest, I was very surprised to get this best screenwriter, because I think there are people on the scene who are more suitable than me to win this award."

Although Wen Jun didn't say it clearly, almost everyone knew what he said, who was the more suitable person.

"When I was writing the film "Pretty Girl", I actually didn't expect that Producer Mai would like it, and it would even cause such a big response after the filming was finished."

In fact, almost no one was optimistic about the drama "Pretty Girl" at the beginning, and even Wen Jun himself didn't think that "Pretty Girl" could get any good results.

However, McDonald still insisted on filming this movie. In the end, not only did he get a very good result for a feature film, but it also aroused extensive discussions.

"I would like to thank Producer Mai and the audience for their support. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin. Without him, it would be difficult to make this film."

After Wen Jun finished speaking, he stepped off the stage.

Everyone originally thought that the biggest winner tonight should be between "Running into the Wrath" and "Best Partner".

But I didn't expect "Pretty Girl" to emerge suddenly, and it has already won two awards for Best Actress and Best Screenplay.

And the next thing to be awarded is the award for Best Actor, and "Pretty Girl" and Best Actor will definitely miss it.

Compared with the previous Best Actress, there is absolutely no possibility of any controversy this time.

In the previous voting for the best actor, Mai Jia, Jackie Chan, Lin Zixiang, and Lin Zhengying can be said to be the most popular candidates.

But the most concentrated ones are still between Jackie Chan and Lin Zixiang. Mai Jia and Lin Zhengying don't get very many votes.

After all, the two films "Police Story" and "Running into the Wrath" are relatively representative commercial and drama films.

It is completely different from Lin Daoqiu's thinking direction. Most of the judges participating in the selection this time prefer feature films, but there are also a small number of judges who support commercial films.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that the entire Academy Awards will be won by literary and artistic films, and those commercial films can only play the role of accompanying runners.

"The actors selected for the Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards are..."

"Best Partner" Mai Jia, "Running into the Wrath" Lin Zixiang, "I Love Evening Lily" Lin Zixiang, "Police Story" Jackie Chan, "Mr. Zombie" Lin Zhengying.

Which one of Xiangjiang's first actor will appear on the body? This is something that many people at the scene are very curious about.

Mai Jia seems to be very calm, and Lin Zixiang has the best chance of winning the award because he has two plays selected.

Lin Zhengying looked expressionless, because it seemed that he didn't think he could win the Academy Award.

Moreover, Lin Zhengying didn't really have too many thoughts about whether he won the award or not. He came today just to join in the fun.

Among these people, Jackie Chan was the most nervous, because he hadn't won any awards before, and it was his first time to participate in this kind of award ceremony, and it seemed that he was also very nervous.

Jackie Chan still looked very happy when he won the award for best action design.

Because this means that Xiangjiang's best action movie last year was made by him.

"The winner of the first Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor is... Lin Zixiang from "Running into the Wrathful Sea."

When the award presenters announced the result, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene. Mai Jia and Lin Zhengying were fine, but Jackie Chan seemed a little disappointed.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu seemed to have a very calm expression, but if one looked carefully, his brows had already frowned slightly.

All the most important awards were awarded to feature films, which was something Lin Daoqiu absolutely did not want to happen.

Next, there are two awards for best director and best picture. According to the trend just now, these two awards are likely to be produced between "Running into the Raging Sea" and "Pretty Girl".

If this is the case, then the Hong Kong Film Awards may very well become a carnival of literary films.

This is the last thing Lin Daoqiu wants to happen, but he has no way to prevent this from happening now.

Because the list has already been sent to the stage, it cannot be changed at this time.

Lin Daoqiu had always insisted on respecting the judges' ideas before, and did not go to see their judging results.

If he had known that such a situation would happen, Lin Daoqiu would definitely find a way to stop it, instead of letting them turn the Academy Awards into a carnival of literary films.
