If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 97 Hong Kong Film Awards

Waiting for all the guests to enter the venue, the 23rd Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

The opening is still a familiar performance link.

Andy Lau, Zhang Xuanyou and other singers took the stage to sing.

"Water of Forgetfulness", "It's Always Rainy Day to Break Up" and other popular songs.

The show is over.

It is the highlight of the Academy Awards, the awarding session.

Now on to Best Original Film Song.

nominated

"Let Us Be The One" (Unparalleled) Dai Wei.

Lu Chen came on stage as the award presenter, and the same award presenter as Lu Chen was Xiangjiang actress Qiu Shuzhen (played by Zhou Xingchi as Princess Jianning in "The Deer and Ding Tale")

Qiu Shuzhen is now a wife.

To have a different taste.

Cao Mengde's favorite type.

Qiu Shuzhen handed the envelope to Lu Chen.

This must be Lu Chen to announce the result, the coffee position is much higher than himself.

The nominated guests became nervous as Lu Chen tore open the envelope.

""Long Sky", Huang Qiangqiang, Ye Shirong, and the Beyond band." Lu Chen spoke standard Mandarin. The Beyond band disbanded once, and reorganized in 03, but then disbanded again.

Exciting music sounded in the Grand Theater.

Huang Qiangqiang and Ye Shirong stood up and went to the stage to accept the award, feeling very excited. The Golden Statue Award still holds a lot of weight in the hearts of Xiangjiang people.

"Director Lu, this is your first time being an award presenter." Qiu Shuzhen said with an air.

"Yes." Lu Chen really wanted to ask, how did he know that it was his first time? Is it easy for a virgin to tell, and it's also easy for a first-time award presenter?
"If I had been an award presenter, I would definitely tease the nominated actors and singers to fill up the suspense." Qiu Shuzhen said in a joking tone, also to tease the atmosphere.

The award ceremony must be cheerful and not static.

Lu Chen thought about it. Last year's Golden Horse Awards, when Andy Lau was tricked, the atmosphere became heated, and everyone laughed, but the embarrassment was only Liu Dehua who didn't win the award.

Think back to the major film festivals.

Some of the award presenters are sometimes really bad enough.

"Thank you!" Huang Qiangqiang and Ye Shirong took the trophy from Lu Chen and delivered their acceptance speeches.

Lu Chen also stepped down, returned to his seat and sat down.

The next announcement is the best screenplay.

The nominations include "Wu Shuang", "Big Man with Great Wisdom", "Infernal Affairs 2", "PTU", and "Unforgettable".

The award presenters were director Wang Jin and Liu Jialing.

"Let's see who gets the best screenwriter this year." Wang Jin picked up the envelope.

Liu Jialing on the side continued, "Director Wang, I have watched all five of these movies, and they are all very good-looking. The judges must be very conflicted and don't know which one to choose."

"I've seen it too, but it's hard for me to choose." Wang Jin opened the envelope and looked at Lu Chen who was in the first row. "Director Lu, you just got off, so your ass must not be hot yet."

As soon as this word comes out.

There were already people applauding.

Liu Yifei was even more delighted. Director Wang Jin's words clearly hinted at it.

Liu Jialing leaned over to look at the envelope, "The 23rd Academy Award for Best Screenplay, "Wu Shuang", Lu Chen!"

This time there was thunderous applause.

Lu Chen stood up, turned his head and smiled at the applauding people behind him.

"It is said that I am a fast shooter, and I have one movie a week." Wang Jin joked when Lu Chen didn't come up, "But I only have one fast character. Director Lu is different, and the quality of fast movies is guaranteed."

"The shootout scene in "Wushuang" is no worse than the shootout scene in the classic Xiangjiang gangster movie. Of course, this is only one of the advantages of the movie "Wushuang". There is also a story. I think the reversal at the end of the movie caught everyone off guard."

Liu Jialing continued, "At that time, I always thought that Zhou Runfa was a bad guy, but I didn't expect him to be a good guy. The reversal of the ending made me unable to recover for a long time, so I had to watch "Wu Shuang" again."

At this moment, Lu Chen also stepped onto the stage.

"Congratulations, Director Lu!" Wang Jin handed over the trophy with admiration in his eyes. He is so young and has already won countless honors. The future is limitless, and he may become No. 1 in the Chinese film industry.

"Thank you!" Lu Chen took the trophy and delivered his acceptance speech, basically promoting "Let the Bullets Fly".

The mainland still pays a lot of attention to the Academy Awards.

Lu Chen came to participate to create momentum for "Let the Bullets Fly".

After the best screenplay has been announced, the next award is best editing.

It was won by the Peng brothers of "Wu Shuang", and the two brothers won the best editing twice in a row.

"Actually, Director Lu should come up to accept the award with us." The Peng brothers invited Lu Chen.

Lu Chen waved his hand, indicating that you just accept the award.

Lu Chen was also responsible for the editing of the movie "Wu Shuang", but he certainly did not add his name in the column of movie editing.

The main reason is that there are too many names appearing in the column of film crews.

The director, producer, screenwriter, and action designer all have names, so it’s not easy to add them.

The Peng brothers saw that Lu Chen was unwilling to come up, so they no longer invited, "Actually, Director Lu is the real person in charge of editing the movie "Wu Shuang". Our two brothers are only following Director Lu's orders. This is our first time. Editing the movie is so easy, Director Lu, we two brothers still want to continue working with you."

Next up is Best Supporting Actress.

"Passionate" was awarded to He Xiaoyi, the daughter of the gambling king.

Best Supporting Actor was awarded to Liao Qizhi who played the role of "Wu Xin" in "Wu Shuang". Liao Qizhi also played a wonderful role in "Infernal Affairs 2" and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

The Best Actress was awarded to Zhang Bozhi from "Unforgettable". This is also the first time that Zhang Bozhi won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, and Zhang Bozhi was so excited.

Zhang Jingchu couldn't hear his name, so he wasn't too disappointed.

Nominated for Best Actress in the Academy Award, Zhang Jingchu is very satisfied. This is only the second film in his life. Of course, the first film was shot first, but it has not yet been released.

However, Zhang Jingchu failed to win the award for many reasons. One is that his acting skills cannot beat the crowd, and the other is his identity as a mainland actor.

As for Lu Chen, who is also from the mainland, but his social status is different, and the treatment is also very different. Many film practitioners in Hong Kong expressed their favor to Lu Chen in the media, and welcome Lu Chen to come to Hong Kong to make movies again.

Next is one of the highlights, Best Actor.

Nominees include Zhou Runfa and Guo Fucheng from "Wu Shuang", Andy Lau, Zhang Xuanyou from "Golden Rooster 2" from "Big Man with Great Wisdom", and Wu Zhenyu from "Infernal Affairs 2".

""Wushuang", Chow Yun-fat!" The award presenter teased the nominated actors and announced the final trophy.

Zhou Runfa won the 6th and 7th Best Actor of the Academy Awards consecutively with "The True Colors of a Hero" and "Dragon and Tiger", and "A Lang's Story" won the Best Actor of the 9th Academy Awards.

This time winning again, Zhou Runfa is still excited.

I came to the center of the stage, took the trophy, and came to the microphone, "Standing on the stage of the Academy Awards again, I still have a different feeling. I thank the judges for their recognition of my acting skills, as well as Director Lu and Mr. Yang Shoucheng. , Mr. Xiang Huaqiang's support for the film."

The three are also the bosses of the three investment companies behind "Wu Shuang".

After Zhou Runfa said this, he definitely didn't rush down. He looked at Lu Chen in the first row with a complaining expression on his face, "Director Lu, I can actually act in a decent movie."

"Don't let me play the villain all the time. I'm afraid that when I become a professional villain, the audience will forget my decent image and say that Zhou Runfa, I know, is a bad guy."

This remark caused everyone in the audience to laugh.

Lu Chen also laughed. Zhou Runfa had rarely acted as a villain before, and he was asked to act in two movies, both of which were villains. Of course, Ge You was the same.

Ge You and Zhou Runfa are both top movie stars.

Being recruited by Lu Chen and playing two villains in a row, the two of them are probably speechless. Of course, they must be willing to play the role. Director Lu's ability has long been proved, and he is a director that all actors want to cooperate with.

"Of course it was just a joke just now. I'm still very grateful to Director Lu for giving me the opportunity to act." Zhou Runfa looked at the trophy in his hand, "In fact, Director Lu has a lot of credit for this award."

"What everyone doesn't know is that sometimes on the set, Director Lu will act first, and I will act accordingly. I really look forward to the movie where Director Lu will be the leading actor. I will definitely bring my family and friends to fully support it."

There was warm applause from the audience.

"By the way, the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" I starred in is currently being filmed, and I should be able to meet you this year." Zhou Runfa helped promote the new movie, "I am just a fictional villain in the movie "Wu Shuang", but in "Let the Bullets Fly" In "Fly", I am the real villain, the biggest boss in the movie."

There was another warm applause from the audience, and Lu Chen also applauded. This year's Academy Award is mainly to promote the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

Next is the main event.

Best director attribution.

Nominees include Lu Chen from "Wu Shuang", Liu Weiqiang and Mak Zhaohui from "Infernal Affairs 2", Du Qifeng from "PTU", Du Qifeng from "Big Man with Great Wisdom", Wei Jiahui, and Chen Musheng from "Twin Heroes".

Presenters.

It was Zhang Xuanyou and Wu Junru.

"Wow, the nominees are all well-known directors." Wu Jun did not open the envelope in a hurry, but chatted with Zhang Xuanyou.

"Yes." Zhang Xuanyou continued, "I have watched the other films of the nominated directors, and I believe that the guests here today are also familiar with all their works."

Seeing that the two of them chatted without opening the envelope, Liu Yifei became more nervous and her breathing became short of breath.

In Liu Yifei's heart, I especially hope that my brother will win the best director.

Although Shige has made countless achievements.

But in the three major Chinese film festivals, I haven't won the best director, and only won the Golden Rooster Award for Director's Virgo.

"Yifei, calm down." Lu Chen held Liu Yifei's little hand, otherwise she would be speechless if she trembled later. This was his own nomination, as if it was Liu Yifei's nomination.

"Brother, why haven't they announced it yet?" Liu Yifei wanted to go on stage and opened the envelope.

"It's just the effect of the show, don't worry, can they keep chatting, if they keep chatting without announcing the result, I must applaud them." Lu Chen was not in a hurry at all. Since winning the Golden Bear Award, his mood has become much more stable up.

For the Academy Awards, it is not too important to look at.

If it wasn't for better publicity of "Let the Bullets Fly", Lu Chen would not have made the movie "Wu Shuang", nor would he have participated in this year's Academy Awards.

"Xuanyou, we can't talk any more. The directors below can't wait any longer. If we offend them and don't ask us to make movies in the future, then we will die." Wu Junru apologized to the directors below, "Everyone Directors, please don’t keep it in mind, this is the request of the organizing committee and has nothing to do with us.”

These words made the audience laugh happily, and Lu Chen also laughed. As expected of a comedian, he spoke quite humorously.

"I'm not afraid. Anyway, my main business is singing, not acting in movies. At worst, I will only sing in the future." Zhang Xuanyou said to put the envelope in his pocket and hide it.

Wu Junru snatched it away, "But my main job is acting."

Of course, this is the effect of the show.

After all, it is the best director, which is regarded as one of the most important awards of the Academy Awards.

Wu Junru tore open the envelope.

Henry Zhang leaned over to look.

"Xuanyou." Wu Junru did not rush to announce, but chatted with Zhang Xuanyou again, "I have a big deal, I wonder if you are interested in doing it together."

"What big deal?" Henry Zhang cooperated.

"Anyway, it's a big business." Wu Junru said solemnly, "I'll be in charge of the acid-free paper."

"I've fixed the color-changing ink." Zhang Xuanyou continued.

There was thunderous applause instantly at the scene, knowing that what the two of them said were lines from the movie "Wu Shuang".

Lu Chen thought about saying, I'll take care of 'Zhang Jingchu', but it seems that it's not difficult for him, it's just a question of whether he wants to or not.

"Senior brother!" Liu Yifei was very excited. Although he did not announce it, what Wu Junru and Zhang Xuanyou expressed was the movie "Wu Shuang" directed by senior brother.

"It seems that everyone already knows." Wu Junru and Zhang Xuanyou said in unison: "The 23rd Academy Award for Best Director, "Wu Shuang", Lu Chen!"
