Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 296 Meeting Two Little Ones Again

"Ahhh, Mingzi..."

"Ah ah ah..."

On the 25th, the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards was officially held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

There is no doubt that this year's Academy Awards also held a red carpet ceremony.

However, unlike the music awards, the red carpet ceremony of the Academy Awards is mainly based on the crew.

That is, when walking the red carpet, unless it is an artist who is not shortlisted.

Otherwise, most of the finalists will be arranged by the organizer to enter the venue with the crew.

Chen Qiming entered the show this year with "Chongqing Forest".

Chen Qiming, Kaneshiro Takeshi, Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong.

The four played together.

The four are all top figures in the entertainment industry, and immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience as soon as they appeared on the stage.

Especially Chen Qiming.

Obviously four people entered the arena, but the audience was almost full of cheers from his fans.

In the front row, the crazy fans near the red carpet kept shaking the railing in front of them while screaming loudly.

Some people even began to climb the railing after seeing Chen Qiming, and were finally driven back by the security guards at the scene.

"It's crazy! It's hard to imagine what kind of status you have in their hearts!"

The four walked and waved to the audience with smiles.

The reporter's camera clicked non-stop.

When turning around to let the reporter take pictures, Brigitte Lin whispered.

Chen Qiming knew that Brigitte Lin was talking to him.

However, he did not answer immediately, but continued to deal with reporters.

After Hong Tan finished and entered the interview area, he said modestly: "Compared to Sister Qingxia, you are still far behind!"

"You're too humble!"

Brigitte Lin smiled, knowing that Chen Qiming was being modest.

When was Brigitte Lin most popular?

In fact, it was the two years from 92 to 93.

Brigitte Lin was indeed popular in the 80s, and she was once the most popular actress in Taiwan.

However, her real popularity actually started from "Swordsman: The Undefeated East".

The film did not have a high box office in Hong Kong, but it was a huge hit in other regions.

Chen Qiming still remembered that he had seen this movie.

It seems... It seems to be with my college friend Zeng Baoyi, Zeng Baoyi was still confessing to himself at that time.

It is precisely because of the undefeated popularity of the East that Brigitte Lin's career has reached its peak in the past few years.

Costume movies in which women disguise themselves as men have almost become her standard feature.

However, there is one thing to say, although Lin Qingxia is popular, she is not as good as Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming hasn't starred in many movies in recent years.

But the film salary was abruptly raised to tens of millions, relying on the transformation of the huge popularity of the music scene.

And he was also the first one to let his salary rise again and again because of the huge appeal of the music scene, even on the same level as Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and others.

This achievement is not weak.

You know, the current salary of tens of millions is only [-] per cent every two weeks.

And almost all of these people reached this point by virtue of years of box office accumulation.

Only Chen Qiming, in the past few years, he has indeed had several box office hits.

"The Wind and Cloud Heroes of the World", "If There Is Love", and "The Whirlwind Boy", these films have accumulated over [-] million box office in all Asian categories.

But compared with those few people, it was much worse.

But under such circumstances, his salary can still reach tens of millions.

It relies on the transformation of popularity in the music industry.

Such a high popularity, if it can't be compared with Brigitte Lin back then, then it can't be justified.

However, Brigitte Lin cannot be considered weak because of this.

On the contrary, Lin Qingxia is definitely a special case in the Chinese film industry.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the position of an actress has always been very clear.

That's the vase.

In this day and age, it is absolutely impossible for an actress to stand out by relying on her acting skills.

The only way for them to get ahead is to be beautiful and then act as flower vases in movies.

As for acting skills... it doesn't matter if you have it or not.

But Brigitte Lin was an exception.

Brigitte Lin was indeed beautiful when she was young, but in the 90s, Brigitte Lin was already in her thirties.

At this time, she was actually inferior to others in appearance.

However, under such circumstances, she emerged from many actors by virtue of her unique temperament and acting skills, and became the highest-paid actress during the 90s. The difficulty can be imagined.

Moreover, Brigitte Lin is also one of the few actresses who can carry the box office alone.

With such an existence, even if his popularity was weaker than his own, Chen Qiming did not dare to entrust her too much in front of her.

"I heard that you are planning a movie to enter Hollywood, how about it, is there any suitable role for me?"

Without talking too much about who is popular and who is not, Lin Qingxia asked about the project "The Calamity of the Python".

As a project led by Qiming Film and Television, Golden Harvest, Mainland China Film, Shanghai Studio, and Time Warner and other companies jointly invested in the project. Although "The Disaster of the Python" has not yet been filmed, the reputation of this project has already spread throughout Hong Kong and Taiwan. up.

Some people dismissed this, thinking that it would be another film with a lot of thunder and little rain.

Similarly, some people think that since this film can gather so many companies to invest, it must have a great chance of success, so many people also regard it as an opportunity.

Obviously, Lin Qingxia is this kind of person.

Not only her, after hearing her question, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Faye Wong, who had been by their side all the time, also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear whether there is a shortage of people for this project.

"I'm really sorry, there are enough actors for this project, and there is no suitable role for you, Sister Qingxia!"

Chen Qiming said tactfully.

If "Anaconda" uses an all-Chinese cast, then Brigitte Lin will indeed be a good choice.

It is a pity that Chen Qiming has planned to use more foreigners for this project.

Therefore, even if Brigitte Lin volunteered to recommend herself, it is impossible for the crew to spare a role for her.

"That's it! It's a pity, but if there is a suitable project next time, you can consider me!"

Although Brigitte Lin was a little disappointed, she didn't show it and said with a smile instead.

"must!"

Chen Qiming nodded.

If there is a suitable role, he will definitely think of her.

However, according to Chen Qiming's estimation, Brigitte Lin might not come to shoot at that time.

1995 was a very special year.

At least, from the perspective of Chen Qiming's dreams.

Since this year, the Hong Kong film industry has officially started to go downhill.

Throughout the year, the total film production will drop by about half compared to the previous year.

With the reduction in the number of films being made, many actors will naturally face the situation of having nothing to film.

In the case of a lot of introversion and no gains, this year, a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have begun to retire and change careers.

Among them, several of Hong Kong's most well-known actresses will gradually fade out of the audience's sight this year.

Wang Zuxian, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Brigitte Lin, Michelle Yeoh, Vivian Chow, Rosamund Kwan and many others who have left a deep mark in Hong Kong films almost all began to retire in the past two years.

Therefore, Chen Qiming estimated that it would be very difficult to invite Brigitte Lin to make a movie in the future.

However, Chen Qiming has no regrets about this.

When these people quit, newcomers will still emerge.

Although according to the memory in the dream, the quality of future Hong Kong and Taiwan beauties will be getting worse and worse, but there are also some good ones emerging.

In addition, if those from Hong Kong and Taiwan retreat, won’t those from the mainland begin to take the lead?
He never worried that he would not be able to find beautiful actresses for filming in the future.

If it doesn't work, he will directly hold a beauty pageant in the mainland...

Several people entered the venue while talking.

In the middle, a short interview with the host and reporter was accepted.

After entering the venue, under the arrangement of the organizer, a group of people came to their seats and sat down. "Brother Ming!"

Not long after I sat down, someone brought someone over for the convenience of the host.

The visitor happened to be sitting next to Chen Qiming.

"It's you two!"

Seeing the two little ones in front of him, Chen Qiming hugged one of them with a smile on his face.

The one sitting next to him was none other than the crew of "Oolongyuan".

Wu Mengda took Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen with him.

"Dago,"

Nodding to Wu Mengda in greeting, Chen Qiming looked at Shi Xiaolong who was being held in his arms, "I haven't seen you for half a year, you've gained a lot of weight!"

"I just gained a little weight, Awen is really fat!"

Shi Xiaolong told Chen Qiming that he was very unhappy about being fat, and retorted with a pout.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming looked at Hao Shaowen.

The guy was looking at him and giggling.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Little Fatty!" Squeezing his face, Chen Qiming couldn't help but recall the scene when he was filming Whirlwind Boy.

At that time, the two little guys didn't understand anything, and many scenes had to be filmed inductively.

For example, there is a scene in the final decisive battle where Hao Shaowen presses the switch to turn on the villain father and son played by Wu Bai and Qin Pei.

At that time, in order to make Hao Shaowen show a smirk scene, the crew did not spend much effort.

The assistant director of the crew sacrificed the most, and even took off his pants on the spot to tease the little guy.

At that time it took a lot of effort to make him giggle, but now, without any inducement, he started giggling by himself.

"Are you two going to perform today?"

After looking at Shi Xiaolong for a while, seeing that he was still wearing a monk's robe, Chen Qiming asked suspiciously.

"The organizer asked them to present the best martial arts award!"

Wu Mengda explained.

"It's amazing! This year's best martial arts instructor seems to be the most likely to be won by Jackie Chan. You two are so mixed up that you can give him an award, not bad!"

Hearing what Wu Mengda said, Chen Qiming couldn't help sighing.

If you want to say who was the most beautiful in the music scene in 1994, it must be Chen Qiming.

The two albums have reached 1000 million sales in this year.

This terrifying statistic made Chen Qiming a household name.

And in the film industry, if anyone is the most beautiful, it must be these two little guys.

After the success of "The Whirlwind Boy", Chang Hong made persistent efforts and produced "Oolong Courtyard". This film was also popular all over Asia without Chen Qiming, making these two little guys become the envy of everyone in a short time. star.

This scenery is now beginning to be translated into actual status.

Now, even the Academy Awards are starting to catch their attention.

After chatting with the two little guys, the time came to eight o'clock, and the award ceremony officially began.

Chen Qiming also put down Shi Xiaolong and watched the awards carefully.

The presentation of the awards started with the less heavyweight awards, the first award being the best costume design.

The award was won by Zhang Shuping of "Evil in the West".

Speaking of this year's Academy Awards, if Chen Qiming is the most popular shortlisted actor, then Wong Kar Wai should be the most beautiful director.

After two years, this guy returned to the Academy Awards this year, but not only one movie was shortlisted.

His two films, Chungking Express and Ashes of Time, are strong contenders for best picture.

Although the films directed by Wong Kar Wai have never won a high box office in the Hong Kong film industry, they are blooming inside the walls and fragrant outside the walls. This guy has always adhered to the line of literary and artistic masterpieces with big casts and big productions.

This made him a frequent visitor to major awards, and even became popular at international film festivals such as Cannes and Venice.

Recently, some media even directly reported that he is the director with the most commercial gimmicks in the Hong Kong film industry.

Well, this guy's movies are pretty gimmicky indeed.

The cast is huge and the investment is high.

However, the cost is also high.

If his movies hadn't been very popular abroad and made a lot of money for investors, this guy would have been hacked to death on the streets of Hong Kong for various fraudulent investments.

Awards ceremonies are boring.

At least, Chen Qiming thinks so.

He was only shortlisted for Best Actor this year.

So I watched almost the whole process from the audience.

The kind of plot where the butt hurts in the seat, but you have to keep smiling at all times to avoid being photographed by the camera, is definitely a boring and uncomfortable feeling.

So, after sitting for about half an hour, after learning that he could go backstage to prepare, Chen Qiming quickly got up and went backstage.

He will still appear as a guest singer this year.

In the backstage position, Chen Qiming went to meet his backup dance troupe first.

Although today's performance does not require much tacit understanding between him and the backup dancers, getting to know his collaborators in advance is something Chen Qiming must do every time he performs.

After getting acquainted with the backup dancers and cheering them on, Chen Qiming then went to the side to change his clothes and went to the toilet by the way.

About ten minutes later, it was finally time for him to play.

"Next, I invite Chen Qiming to bring us a brand new song of his..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Before the host Lin Jianming finished speaking, the ordinary audience at the end of the stage immediately erupted.

The screams swept through the entire venue like a heat wave, as if they were going to blow up the venue.

"Fuck, damn, this guy always surprises people when he comes on stage like this!"

The thunderous screams and applause made Jacky Cheung cover his ears slightly.

Even though there have been concerts with tens of thousands of people, he is still not used to the crazy screams of the audience every time Chen Qiming appears.

At this time, on the stage, a group of female backup dancers in long white dresses took the lead.

Then, the piano sounded.

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, a curtain not far away was slowly opened, and Chen Qiming, dressed in white, was sitting in front of the piano and playing seriously.

wow...

Seeing Chen Qiming, the audience below erupted into more enthusiastic screams and applause. Afterwards, these screams and applause disappeared, and the audience stopped shouting and began to listen carefully to Chen Qiming's singing.

"I will run, I will climb, I will soar I will run, I will climb, I will fly
I'm undefeated

Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord

Yeah I believe it

......"

A gentle voice came from Chen Qiming's mouth.

As he started to sing, MVs began to appear on the big screen.

An old man was teaching his grandson to play table tennis in the park. The grandson couldn't even hold the racket firmly at first, but slowly, as time passed, his skills got better and better.

He started to participate in the competition, one by one, the trophies were carried back by him.

But he is not happy.

His goal is not just these trophies, he yearns for the national team that wins glory for the country internationally on TV.

But he applied several times, but had no chance to get in.

"I'm going, is it the theme song of the World Championships? Is the promotion of the World Championships about to start?"

Among the many seats, Yu Rongguang, who was sitting casually, immediately sat up straight after seeing the MV.

"Aren't you really human!"

Chen Qiming's melodious singing voice came from his ears, and Jacky Cheung couldn't help but curse secretly.

He still refused to accept it.

But what the hell, this Chen Qiming acted like he wasn't a human being, playing out one after another golden songs.

In terms of the quality of the song.

Undoubtedly, he felt that Chen Qiming might make waves in Europe and America again.

Because this song is really great.

And it's a rare inspirational song. ...
