Chapter 90 Ceremony Eighteen

"I may not be a movie star in the conventional sense. I lack experience on every stage of my career, just like now, I'm very nervous because this is my first time to come to Hong Kong and to present awards to outstanding filmmakers in the East for the first time."

The audience gave a burst of kind laughter and applause.

"Movies are amazing things. I am very proud of myself for being able to engage in such a career. This is a career that can bring happiness and beauty to people, awaken human conscience and sympathy. Most importantly, it gives us a chance to take a break from this cruel world and breathe a little. What it brings me is not only happiness but also happiness."

Audrey Hepburn was 5l years old at this time, and his angel-like face was no longer as delicate as before, but his elegant and calm temperament did not fade away at all, and he could still be fascinated by it.

"Every time I go to a place, people ask me how to keep my beauty. I don't know, really don't know. Time is eternal, and life is limited, so time will inevitably take away the beauty we are proud of. But I think that a woman's charm does not lie in her appearance. The true beauty reflects the depths of a woman's soul, in kindness and enthusiasm. A woman's beauty will grow with the years and will not change because of aging."

Before He Shouxin's translation was finished, the audience paid tribute to Hepburn and her philosophical remarks with warm applause.

"Next, I will award the first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Award. Please see the list of shortlisted movies."

"The best actress at the first Hong Kong Film Awards, the shortlisted are:

Zhang Aijia, "Crazy Calamity"...

Chen Chong, "Little Flower"...

Zhu Xijuan, "Ah Cradle"...

Lin Fengjiao, "Story of Small Town"...

Xu Feng, "Legend of the Mountains"..."

Hong Kong was wiped out again, and no actor was shortlisted, and the audience was stunned.

Where can I stay with my skin? In a movie environment where there are all fighting and killing, even Shaw Brothers' No. 1 sister Jing Li can only play the roles for Di Long and others in martial arts films. What other actresses can use to hone their acting skills and what can they use to give their fortunes?

Li Hanxiang is the best director in Hong Kong who is good at training actresses. Unfortunately, the three movies he made in 1979 were all erotic films with no sincerity. Only Hu Jin's performance in "Ghost Calls Spring" is quite impressive, but the scenes and plots that are not suitable for children were smeared when he was shortlisted for the primary election.

"No one in Hong Kong has been shortlisted for the Best Actor and Actress." Wang Yang said with his hands crossed his chest and said with a big thorn: "If this continues, it will not last long."

"The Hong Kong film industry is now in a state of failure and is in a state of fault, which has made the mainland a coincidence." Shen Chong looked at Hepburn tearing the envelope and defended: "The film environment here is very dynamic. In the next two or three years, a group of outstanding actors will inevitably emerge."

"I hope so."

At this time, Audrey Hepburn announced the winner: "Chen...chong."

The pronunciation of Hepburn is very unstandard. Before the audience could react, Wang Yang slapped the seat guardrail hard, then stood up suddenly, raised his right hand, pointed at the stage, and shouted to Chen Chong, who was still sitting in the third row in a daze, "Chen Chong, go up and receive the award."

The audience was shocked.

Chen Chong stood up with a blushing face. She was wearing a white dress and was at a loss in the crowd, like a small white flower swaying in the wind in spring, with a pure and simple appearance, and a unique beauty.

Seeing this, Chen Chong decided to fulfill his love for talent. He also stood up and applauded Chen Chong. Seeing him like this, the audience stood up one after another. The applause from small to large, from messy to neat, and finally seemed to break through the roof.

None of the people who can be movie stars have poor psychological quality. Chen Chong quickly adjusted his mentality. She walked through the crowd with small steps, walked into the open space, stroked her short hair in her ear, and then walked onto the stage slowly.

"Didn't you say you love Liu Xiaoqing the most?" Chen Chong sat down again and asked Wang Yang with a smile: "Why are you not so excited when she won the award just now?"

"Liu Xiaoqing, she has experienced a lot, and she is good-natured and not stage-fearing. Even if she doesn't win the award, she won't be discouraged. I feel relieved." Wang Yang combed her hair with her hands in a grand manner, and said without changing her face and her heart was still beating: "Chen Chong is only 18 years old, and she is still a student."

"Old Wang, you are not kind." Chen Chong smiled and teased: "Actually, it's because Liu Xiaoqing is already from your factory and Chen Chong is not yet? You are deliberately selling it and then taking her to Beijing Film Academy.

Wang Yang snorted and said, "This little girl Chen Chong is a good seedling for acting, but her parents are both senior intellectuals. She opposes her being an actor, and she is not sure about her own decision. If she can get a trophy from Hong Kong, she might be able to convince her family."

Chen Chong was a freshman at Shanghai Foreign Languages ​​College at this time. After she came on stage, she communicated with Hepburn in English. She was not standard enough and fluent, but she showed a silly spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. It was completely different from Liu Xiaoqing's deliberate sense of speaking in Hong Kong people. The audience gave another burst of encouragement and applause.

After the applause, Chen Chong blushed and delivered a speech: "Actually, I never thought I could win the award. Really, I am not a professional actor. I am a foreign language student. I think everyone is better than me in acting. Of course, I am very happy to win the award. I will dedicate this trophy to my parents and I hope they like it."

"I want to thank Director Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio, because he asked me to shoot a movie called "Youth". I was only 16 years old at the time and didn't know anything. He taught me the performance step by step and made me fall in love with the movie. I also want to thank Director Huang Jianzhong of Beijing Film Studio for giving me the opportunity to play "Little Flower", and the leaders of Shanghai Foreign Languages ​​College. They agreed to my leave request and gave me time to make the movie. And I want to thank Director Wang Yang, who is actually not so serious. When filming "Little Flower", he took care of me like his grandfather."

"Old Wang, your efforts were not in vain." Chen Chong clapped and said, "But I think, even if Chen Chong's parents promised her to be an actor, Shanghai Film Studio and director Xie Jin would be ahead of you."

"That's better than being a female translator." Wang Yang said angrily: "Everyone can learn foreign languages, but not everyone can do actors."

He Shouxin led Audrey Hepburn backstage, and Zhang Aijia appeared and continued to host.

At first, Chen Chong planned to give Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn a Chinese star to award the award, but after thinking about it over and over again, he gave up this idea because these two Hollywood superstars are too famous and have too dazzling halos. Except for Bruce Lee, anyone who comes will be pale and dull. In this way, it is better not to have someone to match it, let them occupy the stage and enhance the reputation of the Academy Awards.

"Dear guests and audiences in front of the TV, the next one will be awarded the first Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director." The failure to win the Best Actress Award did not affect the hosting status of Aijia Zhang. She held the microphone and stood gracefully in the center of the stage and said. "But before the awards, I want to apologize to all the great directors. Look, before the Best Actor and Best Actress were awarded, singers came out to sing songs to pay tribute to famous actors in the history of the film, but I'm sorry, before the Best Director awards, there were no songs, no short films, and no tributes."

"We all know that directors are the most important position in the film industry, and they are big names who say nothing of each word. When they glared at them, all the stars would bow their heads." Zhang Aijia shrugged and said, "But why did the Best Director not pay tribute before the awards?"

The audience was curious, and someone made up the fun and asked, "Why?"

"It looks very friendly and full of aura." Wang Yang pointed at Zhang Aijia with his hand and said, "If you play some weird comedy roles, it will be very good."

Chen Chong didn't say anything, but just gave Wang Yang a thumbs up.

In his previous life, Zhang Aijia won two Golden Horse Film Awards, two Golden Horse Film Awards, and two Asian Film Critics Association Best Actress Awards. But many movie fans only remember that she was the man in "Best Partner". Wang Yang's eyes were extremely vicious.

"Because the tribute songs tonight were all arranged by Mr. Chen Chong, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards." This is the first time that Zhang Aijia said Chen Chong's name in public, but what she said was formal and the audience did not clamor. She continued: "There are a total of five songs tonight. Except for Mr. Leslie Cheung's "Star" sung by Mr. Huang Zhan, the other three songs, "Star" sung by Miss Teresa Teng, "Silver Dream" sung by Miss Tsai Qin, and "Under the Star" before the best movie will be awarded, they are all written and composed by Mr. Chen Chong himself."

As soon as these words were said, the seats were shocked, the concert hall was quiet, and the guests looked at each other - things are hard to do with both civil and military, and both wealth and talent are both good. Looking around the world and looking at the past and present is very rare. A nouveau riche who made a lot of money can also compose music and write songs, and write very well. This is too subversive common sense

"Before the award ceremony, I asked him why he didn't write a song for the directors." Zhang Aijia did not let the scene continue to be cold. She glanced at Chen Chong and continued: "He said he couldn't write it because the director was a very contradictory position. He seemed to have great power and glory. In fact, he was walking on thin ice every step, and only the director himself understood the taste of this."

"Before filming, the director should look for investment in a humble manner. After finding investment, he would nod and ask the actors to ask for the actors. When filming, the actors would be disobedient. Just be scolded and not be friendly. No matter how you are scolded, you should be scolded and be weak and incompetent. Just be photographed fresh, be scolded and be scolded with a maverick, be scolded with a routine, be scolded with no characteristics, be cursed with a delicate, be scolded with a big shot, be scolded with a simple shot, be scolded with no sincerity, be photographed with a literary, be scolded with a pretentious shot, be photographed with a simple shot, be scolded with a shameless shot..."

Before Zhang Aijia could finish his line, someone applauded. Chen Chong looked up and found that it was Chu Yuan. He quickly led to a crowd of people applauding, and then the audience applauded.

"So, Mr. Chen Chong said he didn't know how to write songs for the director." After the applause, Zhang Aijia also adapted to the situation, cut off the subsequent lines, and said, "He had to find a great calligrapher and wrote a couplet to pay tribute to the great directors in the history of Chinese film."

After she finished speaking, she raised her arm and slid down from the stage twice, a pair of couplets flying and flying dragons and phoenixes.
