my movie years

Chapter 156 The Golden Statue Award Winning Big (Sick)
There was still some time before the awards ceremony, and Hua Tsai brought Zhang Hao and Da Mimi together to meet many Hong Kong filmmakers, including Fa Ge, Guo Tianwang, Gu Zai, Lin Jiadong, Liu Qingyun and many other familiar Hong Kong star actors .

As Zhang Hao said, these actors have been active for too long, and will continue to be active in the future.

This is also something that can’t be helped. The entertainment market on Hong Kong Island is too small, and the blood-forming ability is insufficient, so it can no longer support new superstars.

In fact, in the past, the entire Southeast Asia, Baodao, and even Xiaotian were the market for entertainment on Hong Kong Island, but as the entertainment on Hong Kong Island became stagnant, the market gradually shrank.

This phenomenon is even more obvious in Hong Kong Island movies. There are only a few familiar faces in the movies, and the themes are still the same, and there are very few masterpieces.

The Hong Kong films with infinite scenery that I remembered as a child showed a rapid decline after the "Infernal Affairs" series reached its peak.

When Hua Tsai took Zhang Hao to meet people, he received a warm welcome.

"Xiaoshengzi, you are pretty good. If you have any good movie projects, you should think about us, don't just think about Huazi!"

"That's right, and we should also think about our young and outstanding Hong Kong actor, Wei Ting, and say hello to Director Zhang."

"Hello, Director Zhang, I'm Chen Weiting." A new Hong Kong star greeted Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao's expression was very enthusiastic.

"Hello," Zhang Hao calmly shook hands with Chen Weiting.

This person is also considered a familiar face in his previous life, and he seems to have collaborated with Da Mi Mi in many TV dramas, and he has developed well among the new stars in Hong Kong Island.

But it's a pity that unless there is another wave of characters at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, there really won't be any new generation of Hong Kong stars who can take over the banner of the older generation of Hong Kong stars.

In fact, two years ago, even if Zhang Hao won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, he would not be as popular on Hong Kong Island as he is now.

Although many Hong Kong Island filmmakers do not want to admit it, it is an indisputable fact that Hong Kong Island films have long declined.Some people look for a way out, while others stick to their homeland.

No matter which way, Zhang Hao is a director worth cursing.Just look at Andy Hua Tsai. After making a turn at the Oscars, his career went smoothly after he came back.

If he can star in Zhang Hao's movie, that situation is almost unimaginable.

It's just that Zhang Hao seldom cooperates with filmmakers from Hong Kong Island. The only actors he has worked with so far are Hua Tsai and Qin Pei.

As an award-winning favorite, the seats of the crew of "The Undertaker" are still very high.

After identifying the person, Zhang Hao and Da Mimi returned to their seats.

Zhang Hao looked around for a week, and whispered to Da Mi Mi: "I have watched these people make movies since I was a child, and I am still these people now. It is rare to see a new generation of Hong Kong Island actors!"

Da Mi Mi saw that no one noticed the two of them, so he said: "It's not good for people to hear what you said, there are also a few newcomers, that Chen Weiting is not bad."

"Not bad, Hua Zai is already a popular niche at his age." Zhang Hao said disdainfully.

While the two were chatting in low voices, an old actor who once played Hong Qigong in TVB "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came over with a relatively young man: "Hello Zhang Dao, let me introduce, this is me Son, Liu Kaiwei."

"Hello, hello..." Hearing Liu Kai's name, Zhang Hao shook hands with the father and son politely.

Zhang Hao noticed that Liu Kaiwei was more interested in Da Mimi than himself, if it wasn't because his father and Zhang Hao were at the scene, he would probably have started a pleasant chat with Da Mimi on the spot.

Although it was said, in the previous life... but now that the real boyfriend is in front of you, you still miss his girlfriend?Is this a little too much?
Based on his unfavorable impression of Liu Kaiwei, Zhang Hao completely ignored his father's request to befriend and find a role for his son.

Give you a role?Could it be that you are always by my side thinking about my girlfriend?

After the father and son left, Da Mimi said to Zhang Hao: "This Liu Kaiwei's eyes are so strange, it makes me feel weird."

"What kind of strange method?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Like, like," Da Mi Mi couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, and simply said: "It's like the way you look at me."

"That's too much," Zhang Hao frowned.

Da Mi Mi smiled and said: "How is it? Do you feel jealous?"

"Of course, if it's not bad to hit someone, I'll beat him up right now." Zhang Hao waved his fist.

Because he is busy with work, Zhang Hao doesn't usually exercise much.It was still a time of illness. Da Mimi saw that Zhang Hao's resistance was too weak, so he forced him to exercise.

For this reason, I also bought a lot of fitness equipment for Zhang Hao, including grip strength machines, dumbbells, treadmills, and rowing machines.

The body is the capital of the revolution, and Zhang Hao doesn't want to die suddenly from overwork, so he follows the good advice, exercise and rest have been arranged very properly.

Although he can't be called a muscular man now, at least he can't see the fat on his lower abdomen, so he can be called healthy.

It's just a small episode, and the award ceremony will start soon.

The awards ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Island Cultural Center, hosted by Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Baoyi, Angelababy and Ronald Cheng.

Considering the participation of filmmakers from the mainland, the reason why the main station's movie channel broadcasts live simultaneously, so Mandarin and Cantonese are mixed with the host.

That's fine, Zhang Hao can only guess at Cantonese, and he can understand it with Mandarin.

The first award was the best supporting actor shortlisted for "The Undertaker". Jin Shijie successfully won this award, which also ushered in a good start for "The Undertaker".

Although Jin Shijie has acted in many dramas, he has participated in film and television works well. It was only after "Embroidered Spring Knife" that he widely participated in film and television dramas.

But now the situation has changed slightly. Jin Shijie won the Hong Kong Island Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor for "The Undertaker".If nothing else, he should also be the best supporting actor in November this year.

In this way, Jin Shijie has successfully started his career as a film and television actor, so he is very grateful to Zhang Hao: "Here, I would like to thank Director Zhang Hao for giving me this opportunity, thank you very much.

In fact, at the beginning, when I received the invitation from director Zhang Hao, I was a little skeptical.At this age, I am still very playful, so I doubt what the young Zhang Dao can do.

But later I found out that I was wrong. "The Undertaker" is the best movie I have ever participated in in my life. Thanks again to Director Zhang Hao for giving me the opportunity. "

After Jin Shijie won the Best Supporting Actor, "The Undertaker" ushered in the moment of award harvest, and won three consecutive awards including best art design, best photography, and best original film soundtrack.

Joe Hisaishi, who played the soundtrack, did not come, so the producer Liu Hao accepted the award on his behalf.

After that, there were awards related to Zhang Hao.

"The No.30 new director of the [-]st Academy Award is "The Undertaker", Zhang Hao, congratulations to him."

Zhang Hao was not at all surprised to win this award, it was a surprise not to get it.But at this juncture, the judges of the Academy Awards obviously did not dare to engage in any dark horses.

So Zhang Hao got up and hugged Da Mimi, and Da Mimi kissed Zhang Hao on the cheek, causing cheers from the scene.

These two people showed their affection on the stage of the Academy Awards.

He has even won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and this is not the first time for Zhang Hao, a new director, to win the award, so he seemed very calm and gave a short acceptance speech.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Hao had to come up again just after going down for a while.

Because, this time he won the best screenwriter again, which is also his personal award.

As a director, Zhang Hao only won all the best new director awards of the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster Awards, but he didn't win a single best director.

But as a screenwriter, Zhang Hao was very successful.

Last year, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay with "Fatal Magic", and this time he won the Best Screenplay Award at the Golden Image Award for "The Undertaker", which made many screenwriters envious.

Most of the other big directors have their own regular screenwriters, and there are only a few like Zhang Hao who can both write and direct.

Those who want to poach Zhang Hao's screenwriter have no way to start. Poaching Zhang Hao's screenwriter is worse than poaching Zhang Hao directly.

"The Undertaker", which won successively, lost to "Sister Tao" in the important awards afterwards.

Hua Tsai won the best actor for "Sister Peach", Deanie Ip won the best actress for "Sister Peach", and Xu Anhua won the best director for "Sister Peach".

Although Hua Tsai's performance in "The Undertaker" is good enough, Zhou Xun is also good, but the judges still prefer "Sister Tao".

In the QQ group, many fans of Zhang Hao watched the awards ceremony and chatted in the group. Seeing that Zhang Hao did not win the best director, everyone was very angry.

"Why? "The Undertaker" is such a good movie, but we big mice can't get the best director?"

Big Mouse is a nickname given to Zhang Hao by movie fans, in addition to Zhang Zhang, Hao Hao, Hao Tianshen and other nicknames.

"That's right, although "Sister Tao" is good, "The Undertaker" is an Oscar-winning film."

"The first Chinese film, okay!"

"I don't agree, I think "The Prestige" is better."

"Nonsense, it's clearly "Genius Gunner" that is better."

Even Zhang Hao's fans are divided into different groups. Some are fans of "The Prestige", some prefer "The Undertaker", and some like Zhang Hao's two earlier works.

Fans defended Zhang Hao, but obviously it couldn't affect the continuation of the awards ceremony.

Xu Anhua won the best director, and walked up to Zhang Hao to hug him, whispering in his ear: "You are already pretty good, keep working hard, and sooner or later you will win the best director."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Director Xu." Zhang Hao smiled.

After the best director, it is the highlight of the awards ceremony, the award of the best picture.

But everyone knows that the best picture was born between "Sister Tao" and "The Undertaker".

Sure enough, Wu Baige came to present the best picture award, and the final winner was "The Undertaker".

This time, Zhang Hao took the whole crew to the stage together and delivered his acceptance speech.

"Thank you to the judges of the Academy Awards, and to all my staff, for your hard work and dedication to make this film. This award is not for me alone, it belongs to all of us.

I am also grateful to my family who have always supported me, and to the woman who said she would support me for the rest of my life, she was sitting under the stage. "

The camera showed Da Mi Mi, and Da Mi Mi applauded generously.

Zhang Hao continued: "Hong Kong Island movies have always been an important part of our Chinese-language movies. I also hope that Hong Kong Island movies will be even better in the future and contribute more exciting movies to us. Thank you everyone."

As "The Undertaker" won the best picture, this year's Academy Awards ceremony came to an end.

Although there was a lot of discussion in the media afterwards, there was little controversy about the award, because it was basically the same as the previous prediction, and there were no surprises.

But it's not like there's no such thing as the media is just criticizing!
"Hong Kong Island Times" commented afterwards: "At the 31st Hong Kong Directors Film Awards, "Sister Peach" directed by Xu Anhua won three awards for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

"The Undertaker" directed by Zhang Hao became the veritable biggest winner of the Academy Awards, winning seven awards including Best Picture, Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor.

Although the dominance of a family that dominates the crowd is a bit boring, the audience as spectators can't raise any objections.

After all, the quality of "The Undertaker" is obvious to all, and it is reasonable for the Academy Awards to award all kinds of awards to this film, and there is also the film "Peach Sister" to compete with it.

But thanks to "The Undertaker" and "Sister Tao", this time the Academy Awards can barely survive the scene, and it will not be full of doubts and helplessness like the previous one. "

"Ming Pao" said: "Looking at the entire awards ceremony, there were not many happy moments that left a deep impression on people.

Whether it's the award presenters or the emcee, as well as the various silent award presentation intervals, the entire Academy Award is like a grass-stage performance with a group of big names participating.

Although everyone was present, there was no hard work. Coupled with the lack of surprise awards, it was difficult for the audience to share more excitement from the awards presentation. "

Mainland entertainment media lamented the decline of Hong Kong films: "Although the staggering Xiao Jinteng kicked off this year's Golden Statue Awards, most of the following Golden Statue Awards are old faces.

While the audience is racking their brains to calculate various award-winning records, they also have to accept the reality that the entire Hong Kong film industry is weak and weak in succession. "

This is not over yet, "Let the Bullets Fly" was also selected for this year's Academy Awards, but got nothing, which caused some filmmakers to call this film a grievance.

Er Dongsheng and Wu Zhengyu both mentioned the selection mechanism of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, thinking that it is too unfriendly to foreigners.

If it weren't for the momentum of "The Undertaker" winning the Oscar, so that the judges had to award the award to this film, "The Undertaker" would probably have won nothing.

No matter how the award is awarded, there will be controversy, whether the difference is big or small.

"The Undertaker" won seven awards out of ten nominations, which can be described as a complete victory, but the heat of media discussions this time is far less than when it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The reason is simple, the public thinks this is what "The Undertaker" should have achieved.

Only a few fans of Zhang Hao complained about Zhang Hao, thinking that the best director should belong to Zhang Hao.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Hao didn't win the best director award, it's just that those awards are not authoritative enough to be placed on the honor book.

Movie fans are also looking forward to when Zhang Hao will take home the best director trophy.

There is no trophy for the best director. It is said that Zhang Hao is currently the number one director of Chinese-language films. Fans are somewhat unreasonable.

After the awards ceremony, Zhang Hao couldn't leave Hong Kong Island soon, but was invited to visit Hua Tsai's house.

　I'm still sick, and I'm hospitalized to write codes on my mobile phone. It's very uncomfortable. When I recover, thank you for your support.

　　PS: It's time for me to exercise too, I feel so empty!
