Chapter 84 Ceremony Twelve
Tianbao stared at the award presenter on the stage, clenched his fists with both hands, waved them up and down, and murmured to himself: "I can't get it, I can't get it."
Ning Ning was amused by her movements and said, "Tianbao, what are you?"
“I hope someone won’t win the prize.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhuozhuo slowly read out the winner: "The Best Supporting Actress at the First Hong Kong Film Awards, Liu Xiaoqing, "Little Flowers".
Tianbao immediately cheered and applauded vigorously.
After the applause stopped, she said with a smile: "I knew she couldn't win the prize."
Ning Ning has been in Hong Kong for more than a month. She often walks with Lee Kai-yuan and reads newspapers every day. Naturally, she knows that Tianbao doesn't want anyone to win the award, so she wants to tease her, so she said, "There is still the best actress later."
"Hmph, she can't get it."
"If you ask me, she will definitely get it." Ning Ning said with an ambiguous smile: "This award is done by your brother-in-law."
Tianbao stopped talking, and held his hands in his chest, looking unhappy.
"Or what if we go home now?"
"No," Tianbao immediately objected and said, "There are many big stars behind me. I want to see Audrey Hepburn come out to present awards, and Jenny comes out to sing. My brother-in-law has written three songs, and now he is only singing one song.
"Did these songs really be written by your brother-in-law?"
"Of course." Tianbao said proudly: "My brother-in-law is so amazing. He can write a song in a few minutes. It's very nice. The song I played for you last time was also written by him."
Ning Ning said oh, looking at Liu Xiaoqing, who was so charming on the stage, her face changed. After a while, she asked in a low voice: "Tianbao, your brother-in-law is so fickle, why don't your sister care?"
"My sister said that my brother-in-law is a pervert who can't be tied up. Once he tied it tightly, he immediately broke free from the chain and ran away, and never came back." Tianbao pouted and said, "She said that people like her brother-in-law can only be free from stocking, so that he can mess around outside. When he is tired of playing, he will go home."
"Your sister is really thinking about it." Ning Ning subconsciously looked in the direction where Shen Chong was sitting, and said, "If it were me, I would definitely beat him up and beat him to his legs. Let's see that he still dares to mess around outside."
"Sister Ningning, you are so fierce that you won't be able to find your in-laws." Tianbao said with a smile: "Men all like gentle girls."
"Is that true?" Ning Ning also smiled and said, "Last time I went to your house, I heard that a little girl broke her classmates' noses. She is such a gentle girl."
Tianbao learned a bit of shameless spirit from Shen Chong and said indifferently: "I am still a child now, and I will become gentle when I grow up."
Ning Ning laughed so hard that her branches shook.
"Sister Ningning, you should stay away from my brother-in-law." Tianbao said innocently: "He is the best at lying people, especially girls. If you accidentally fall into his trap and be fascinated by him. Just as in "Chu Liuxiang", a girl doesn't like other men after seeing him."
"Really?" Ning Ning asked with a smile: "Is he that powerful?"
"Of course, he can do anything." Tianbao's calves swayed in the air and said, "He can make money, write songs, play guitars, and make movies. He smiles all day long, talks with people and talks with ghosts. My mother said that even the Governor of Hong Kong would be confused when he sees him."
"But, your brother-in-law doesn't seem to be able to fight."
While Ningning and Tianbao were chatting, there were two people behind them chatting.
"Look at me, I'm looking at you." A woman in her thirties, wearing a brown turtleneck windbreaker, taught her a lesson with disdain, saying: "It's all about women, and they're just doing it openly and letting people from all over China come to support you. You can only sneak and create a lewd nest."
"Second sister, don't say it so badly. I'm a dance hall, not a lewd nest."
The woman was even more disdainful and said, "Do you think I don't know? With the reason of hanging the dance hall, she takes advantage of the girls in the art troupe and the film factory, selling dog meat with sheep's head, how many dirty things have you done? If your elder brother hadn't helped wipe his butt, he would have known how many guns he would have eaten."
"Second sister, whisper." Wu Ziming looked around and said with a bitter face: "There are so many people here, at least I can give you some face."
"You know the face too? I thought you could not even hit your thick-skinned gun." The woman's voice lowered a little, but her tone became more severe, and she said, "If you go back, you will lock up your broken dance hall."
"It was difficult for the dance hall to create a name for the dance hall, and Xiaowu and the others would definitely disagree." Wu Ziming was reluctant to let it go and said, "Besides, I want to save money to do a big business now."
"Looking at your promising prospects, you know whether it's good to keep an eye on money and make money," the woman raised her chin and said, "You are making money, and he is making money. You are this year, and he just looked at him. He just talked and laughed freely in front of thousands of people. Not only did he dare to present awards to Xia Yan, but he also dared to joke with that stubborn old man Wang Yang. Do you go to Beijing Film Studio and dare to meet Wang Yang? You also took an invitation to invite Xia Yan. Do you think they should pay attention to you?"
"I don't have money," Wu Ziming asked a little confused and said, "Second sister, what are you going to say?"
"It's true that people are rich, but why no one likes you with a good dad? Because Shen Chong does everything right and confident, he is not afraid of people." The woman was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to pat him. She temporarily stopped him, saying, "Since you want to open a dance hall, just open it upright. Don't be ashamed of it as if you are shameful. Go back and close it first, register it at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and then reopen it. Open it with great fanfare, and invite all the prominent people in Beijing to go there. In the future, no one will catch your braids, and you will not see anyone as if you see a cat."
"Second sister, I didn't say I could open a dance hall."
"The superiors never said that people who are mixed with Taiwanese women can enter Zhongnanhai, but why did Shen Chong go in?" The woman sneered and said, "Your dilapidated dance hall has been open for half a year. Do you really think your father is so confused that he can't see it? You don't want to enter the agency or the army. You can become the boss of China's first dance hall and be the pioneer of reform and opening up. It's also a sloppy explanation to your father."
"It's almost half way to the award ceremony." Cai Lan picked up the drink bottle and asked Chu Yuan who was sitting together: "What do you think of this Golden Star Award?"
Chu Yuan's eyes did not squint and said, "Which aspect are you talking about?"
"The award belongs." Cai Lan unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and said, "Do you think it's fair enough?
"The absolute fairness is certainly not a question, but it is already amazing to be able to stew both the mainland and Taiwan in one pot and achieve this level."
"I know which one you are talking about is unfair." Cai Lan said with a smile: "It must be the best costume style. Chu Qianwan's movies have always been known for their weirdness and glamor, but they didn't win the award, which is a bit unreasonable."
"Hu Jinquan is famous for his slow work and meticulous work. When filming, he even needs to study the material of clothes. How can I compare to people who shoot five or six movies a year?" Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "And "Legend of the Mountain" was filmed on site in Korea. It uses natural light. The clothing effect is better than that of the indoor set. I will lose."
"How many awards will you be shortlisted later?"
"Well, the best adapted script and the best director."
"How is it, do you have any idea?"
"To be honest, before the awards were presented, I was really ambitious." Chu Yuan said: "Now I have no confidence at all, and the strength of mainland movies is beyond my imagination."
"Yes, I thought the mainland was just a foil, but I didn't expect that I would have taken so many awards. Most of the jury were Hong Kong people. They gave the award to the mainland, which shows that it was really unique."
"This time I've opened my eyes." Chu Yuan agreed and said: "If the annual Academy Awards can be as grand as this year, we won't have to fly far to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards in the future."
"Then the Taiwan government should have a headache." Cai Lan laughed and asked after a while: "Look at how is Chen Chong?"
"He has the courage to do big things and the capital to do big things, and the future is unlimited." Chu Yuan's eyes flashed and he said, "After this award ceremony, his tycoon's momentum has been achieved. If nothing unexpected happens, within two or three years, the Eastern charm will inevitably sweep across Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the year, it may be higher than the sixth uncle's achievements."
"Maybe more than just Hong Kong and Taiwan." Cai Lan put the drink bottle and said, "Shen Chong has been looking for me several times. Let me go to Oriental Charm and help him manage the Japanese movie distribution business."
Chu Yuan was quite surprised, looked at him and asked, "When will you leave?"
"I haven't settled down yet." Cai Lan smiled bitterly and said, "You know, my father worked for Shaw Brothers in Singapore in the 1930s. Uncle Six watched me grow up. I joined Shaw Brothers Japan branch in 1957, and I have been here for many years. How can I leave just by saying that."
Chu Yuan was silent, and after a while, he said, "I heard that when Zou Wenhuai went out to open Jiahe, Zhang Che wrote a congratulations to him, called "A friend's wine, half a piece of paper for human feelings, and the facts are like a chess game, so it's better to start first."
"Old Cui, before I came to Hong Kong, Director Chen Bo told me that Xiao Shen said that our Hundred Flowers Awards would not be as good as his Film Awards in thirty years." Lin Shan, editor-in-chief of "Popular Movies", said, "I was very dissatisfied at the time. Now it seems that I really can't compare. At least we can't present awards to Taiwanese people."
"It's indeed not as good as for the time being." Cui Boquan was quite irritable. He twisted his fingers and restrained the urge to smoke, and said perfunctorily: "But there is no need to underestimate himself. Our Baihua Award has a broad mass base and the care of the country. We will definitely succeed in the future."
"Old Cui, you are responsible for the preparation of the Baihua Awards. Tell me, should we learn this award presentation model as well?"
"It's hard, it's hard," Cui Boquan shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I'm afraid of comparing goods. If only a few of us come to Hong Kong to attend this award ceremony, it's no big deal to go back and copy it. However, there are hundreds of people who come to attend the ceremony this time. When they go back, they are passed on by word of mouth. Everyone knows what the Hong Kong ceremony looks like. If we hold it again, we will be a dog-like dog-like person and will only make jokes."
"It's not necessarily true?" Lin Shan is a screenwriter and a pure literati. He doesn't know much about the tricks. He said: "Our "Popular Movies" is a magazine directly under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. It's not difficult to invite people to be guests. After they invited Lin Fengmian, we can go and invite Liu Haisu. They give awards to Mr. Xia, we can invite Mr. Xia to present awards, and we can also invite Minister Situ and Zhang Ruifang to be more important than their guests."
"Editor Lin." Cui Boquan smiled bitterly and said, "Movies are born for fantasy. The more flashy the film, the more people are paying attention. Look here, everyone is bright and beautiful and magnificent. Look at Liu Xiaoqing. The big red dress you see through and the jewelry you wear is so beautiful and luxurious. But do you know how expensive it is? We can't afford to buy clothes for more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in any case. At that time, Liu Xiaoqing is wearing a real man on stage to receive the award. The person is still the same, but the taste has changed. They are the wine in the luminous cup. We want to do it, just tea powder in the big porcelain bowl."
"Movies are an art. What we want to commend is the hard work of filmmakers. How can we rely on money to build them? This is not pure."
"Old Lin, Lao Lin." Cui Boquan said helplessly; "In that case, we might as well not even give up the awards, and send everyone a big red certificate."
In the representative area of Taiwan, there is a pretty woman with two traditional braids. Her name is Zhu Tianwen. She is a famous talented woman in Taiwan. She published articles in newspapers and magazines in her teens. She has a good relationship with many filmmakers. She is also a female disciple of Zhang Ailing’s ex-husband Hu Lancheng, so she also attended the Golden Star Awards.
She heard Liu Xiaoqing say a speech for a while, and smiled and said to a woman next to her in a man's suit and very short hair: "Sister Xiaodi, this mainland actress speaks strangely, has a Sichuan accent, and looks like a northerner, and has a bit of Hong Kong accent. She looks like a four-way person, so funny."
This man dressed up as a man, named Wang Xiaodi, just obtained a master's degree in theater studies from the United States last year. After returning to Taiwan, he formed a film company and was also considered an insider in the film industry. Wang Xiaodi is the amulet of the Taiwan delegation. Because she came, others dared to come to Hong Kong with confidence because she is the daughter of General Wang Sheng, the most popular politician in Taiwan. Wang Sheng is the confidant of Chiang Ching-kuo and is in charge of political work. The "Liu Shaokang Office" led by him is known as the "Supreme Executive Yuan" in Taiwan.
Wang Xiaodi said with a smile: "It's quite funny, but something is even more funny."
"What's up?"
"If Song Chuyu is here, he will definitely cry." Wang Xiaodi covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "Last year, he reformed the Golden Horse Awards with a scolding and spent a lot of money to invite Elizabeth Taylor to present the awards. He finally opened up some situations. Now the Golden Horse Awards are born, and everyone has opened their eyes. At this year's Golden Horse Awards, Song Chuyu's hair is gone, and he doesn't know how to handle it."
