After watching the short film, Cheng Xiong was filled with emotions. He would like to watch this computer animation film. At this time, he immediately remembered the scene when he first watched this film. He was in high school at that time, so he was too busy studying, so he didn't watch this movie. It wasn't until he went to college that he watched this cartoon by chance. He didn't want to watch it after reading the title. Now that he is in his twenties, his interest in cartoons has naturally decreased a lot, but he couldn't put it down after just one glance. The realistic pictures gave the audience more room for imagination. He was surprised by the special effects of Hollywood.
The exquisite images of the film "Toy Story" can catch the attention of government audiences at first sight, and the perspective is particularly pure, allowing everyone to find the feeling of childhood, especially when the toys in the film realize that they are just toys. time, it brings people infinite food for thought. Life seems to be going well, but there are too many helplessness.
Mak Cheng-hsiung suddenly felt tears filling his eyes. Only then did he take his eyes off the screen and said to Lasseter: "It's great. You must work hard to put this movie on the screen as soon as possible. I estimate that by then, You will shock the whole world, and you will prove yourself to the world."
Mai Chengxiong¡¯s words also revealed Lasseter¡¯s goal. The fat man¡¯s expression was very excited. Looking at Mai Chengxiong, he nodded with the last effort. He had the same idea. Animation production is too time-consuming. Everything is virtual and requires people to make it. Fortunately, this film is from the perspective of toys, so the requirements for the scene are not very large, almost a room. It can become a film set. This will also save a lot of time in production.
But Lasseter's words still made Mak Chengxiong feel very helpless, because if this cartoon is to be completed, it will take at least six months or more, which means that if he wants to see his script on the screen , it will take at least half a year. This is also the reason why cartoons are rarely produced. Their production cycle is too long.
Next, Lasseter also withdrew from the crew of "Tomb Raider". He wanted to concentrate on making his own animated feature film, and Mak Chengxiong also gave him two very good design drawings. One was the protagonist Buzz Light. Year, the other one is the traditional toy Cowboy Woody, because these two toys are not only the protagonists, but also representatives. Buzz Lightyear is an astronaut, symbolizing modern high technology, and Woody is a traditional American toy. Cowboy Cop represents an ancient tradition. The two toys together form a sharp contradiction, which also implies the contradiction between new and old, tradition and innovation. It is most suitable to be used in this film.
At this time, Smith also came to the digital field with great enthusiasm and directly found Mak Chengxiong. Now he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Mai Chengxiong in his heart. Especially when it comes to Huamei Cinemas. Although Mai Chengxiong gave him the greatest freedom. Let his talents be put to use, but another thing that Mak Cheng-hsiung asked for was unacceptable to him, and that was that Mak Cheng-hsiung actually asked Huamei Cinemas to release Hong Kong films at least a certain number every year.
After Mak Cheng-hsiung talked to him at that time, he also brought a lot of copies. Smith agreed without thinking. Because of Hong Kong movies, the original Columbia company also brought a lot of benefits. Especially the three films "Baby Ji Ting", "Dragon" and "A Better Tomorrow". It has a very good reputation in the United States and has very good results on video tapes.
¡°As a result, after watching a movie. A lot of problems emerged. Although these films were Hong Kong films, they were not what he wanted at all. The quality of the filming was obviously lower than the three films in his impression, and the plot design was not as perfect as those three films. In terms of overall quality, it was just average. If it was screened, the box office would definitely not be very satisfactory. At this time, he approached Mak Cheng-hung. Unfortunately, Mak Shing-hsiung had already gone to film "Tomb Raider" at that time, so he was ready to Screen one and see the results.
Smith had a very good vision and directly chose a comedy with a relatively light theme, Golden Harvest's "Wealth Train" to take the lead. He also took a look at the Hong Kong film market. As a result, the effect of this film was very unsatisfactory. The weekend box office was only $2 million, which can be said to be very bleak. After ten days of screening, the box office was only $2 million.
At this time, Smith couldn't sit still and immediately found Mai Chengxiong. Smith was not in a good mood to talk to Mai Chengxiong this time. After meeting, he roared and shouted: "Mai, you are completely irresponsible this time. Look at it." The films you introduced, here are the box office data, they are simply miserable, you can see for yourself.¡±
Mak Chengxiong picked up the table on the table. The statistics on it were very careful. This is the overall data for the screening of "Wealth Train". Except for the weekend box office, which was higher, everything else was a mess. This is different from several outstanding films of DreamWorks. Yuan, method comparison.
Mak Cheng-hsiung immediately found the reason. In fact, Fortune Train's box office in Hong Kong was pretty good. Because this movie is quite star-studded, and it is also a very successful comedy, but it failed in the United States. It is not difficult to imagine that, first of all, the Hong Kong actors are very unfamiliar to everyone in the United States, so at this time. There is not much difference between what the actor shot and what the extras shot. The second point is that this film has strong Hong Kong elements, even though there are a lot of jokes. But no one can understand that the number of viewers will naturally decrease.
However, Mak Cheng-hsiung is also able to accept this result. You must know that the box office figures of "Baby Project" were not much better than "Business Train" when it was first released in the United States. However, the box office growth in the later period was very rapid, because "Baby Project" "The comedy factor in "The Movie" is very advanced, and Americans easily accepted it and finally came back, but it is difficult to achieve this in "Wealth Train". After all, the most attractive thing is the stars in it, but no one abroad knows them. , naturally a failure.
"Okay, Smith, we should actually see that this box office is already good, much better than some small Hollywood productions. In fact, this film is not as bad as you think. It's just that the cultures of the two places are different. That's why the box office is not high, you know this movie is a very good movie in Hong Kong." Mak Cheng-hsiung explained to Smith, the factory owner, Smith's vision is very unique. He should be able to figure out the problem. Yanlin Tochi is now the general manager of the theater chain. It is under his management that Huamei Theater Chain can operate reasonably. At this time, Mak Chengxiong naturally wanted to appease him.
When Smith calmed down, he realized that he was a little too impulsive. In fact, it was because of his interest in Hong Kong movies. In other words, Mak Sung-hsiung's expectations for the movie were too high, so he couldn't accept this result. After all, this Soviet film production is much better than other small companies. At this time, he said dissatisfiedly: "Mai, why can't you make films that everyone can accept? I admit that the film market in Hong Kong is very developed. But it¡¯s just a small place, do you really want to restrict your steps?¡±
Smith mistakenly thought that these films were all shot by Mak Sing-hung, so he said this. In fact, Mak Sing-hung was a little helpless. After all, Hong Kong movies still have great limitations, especially when vulgarity appears in Hong Kong movies. Phenomenon. In order to please the audience, many people have begun to shoot films that cater to the appetite of the main film market. As a result, Hong Kong films will fall into a quagmire.
"Okay, Smith, you know that accepting new things requires a process, and I will try my best. But it will take time. These films should be screened according to their original base. At least they will bring benefits to the theaters, right?" Mai Cheng Xiong said helplessly.
Smith originally didn¡¯t want to agree to Mak Cheng-hsiung at this time, but no one can guarantee that all the films he shoots will be classics. In that case. He has already become a rich man. Even Mak Seng-hsiung has made mediocre films, so thinking about this, Smith still calmed down. However, he finally bargained for two days to be reduced from the original base. After all, such films will not be shown for too long and will wither like a flash in the pan. This can also reduce the losses of the theater chain. Mak Chengxiong did not object. . After comforting Smith, Mak Sing-hsiung was also ready to return to Hong Kong. As Mak Sing-hsiung guessed, his film "Fist of Heroes" with Yuen Woo-Ping was shortlisted for the Academy Awards and received a nomination for the Best Stunt Director Award. Yang Ziqiong It was also nominated for a Best Newcomer Award, but the film was actually "The Owl and Dumbo" produced by Depot.
DreamWorks also won four nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography for "The Legend of the Dragon". DreamWorks received five nominations at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards.
The Hollywood crew had no choice but to temporarily slow down the filming progress, and Mak Cheng-hsiung, Yuen Woo-Ping and their companion Yang Ziqiong embarked on the road back to Hong Kong.
After returning to Hong Kong, Mak Sing-hsiung also saw the list of nominees this time. The Debao company this time is really powerful. A large number of newcomers have emerged. Five of the films nominated for the best picture are actually from Debao. There are as many as three parts. There are also two nominees for Best Director, Er Dongsheng and Guan Jinpeng. People have been shortlisted one after another, and their chances of winning this time are very high.
The competition for the Best Actor Award this time is the most intense. The six actors on the list can be said to be very strong. Lee Soo-hyun's outstanding performance in "Brothers" won a nomination, and the very successful Xu Guanwen of Tian Nianxing He also received a nomination for "Chocolate", as well as two best actors, Leong Ka Fai and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. The last one is DreamWorks best actor Zhou Run.
However, some people were very disappointed this time. Zhou Xingchi did not receive a corresponding award nomination for filming "The Gambler" this time. Even the Best Newcomer Award was not awarded.The newcomer who debuted online and filmed "The Gambler" won the prize. Fortunately, the box office of "The Gambler" was very good. Mak Chengxiong was busy in Hollywood after the Spring Festival. Only then did he know that the box office of "The Gambler" had reached 30,000. It almost broke through the 10,000 mark, and it made nearly 10 million more box office than "Wealth Train", a collaboration between Golden Harvest and Debao. This was a huge success. The third place was New Art City's "Wealth Train" "The Best Partner: Saving the Poor Woman from Thousand Miles Away" only had a box office of over 00,000 yuan. This is also the best proof for Zhou Xingchi, a newcomer who has just debuted.
After Mak Cheng-hsiung returned to Hong Kong, he also met with Golden Harvest's Gao Wenhuai and told him about the box office of US screenings. At the same time, he also discussed with him the development direction of Hong Kong films.
When Gao Wenhuai learned that Jiahe's film "Wealth Train" had earned more than 20,000 yuan at the box office in Hollywood, he had very complicated feelings. The North American market is a big cake, and the American market has such a huge space, and Mak Cheng-hsiung He also said that due to the cultural gap, the box office of this film was not ideal, which would be a negative in Hong Kong dollars. Wan's box office is comparable to the entire Southeast Asian market, so he has a lot of ideas.
Seeing Gao Wenhuai's continuous thinking, Mak Chengxiong also said at this time: "Boss, I believe you have an idea in your mind now. The American market is a very broad market, and they have a higher proportion of movie fans than Hong Kong. If If our films can successfully enter the U.S. market, then the U.S. box office will be our main box office, so we must improve the quality of our films, and preferably be in line with international culture, so that Hong Kong films can bring Greater development prospects.¡±
Hong Kong should be due to history, so the historical culture is not that strong. The local culture is mixed with Chinese and Western culture, so it is not very difficult to accept foreign culture. Moreover, many elements in Hong Kong movies are not found in other movies. Hong Kong movies The unrestrained imagination and explosive gunfight movies have attracted moviegoers from other countries. Action movies are also very popular among foreign moviegoers, which gives them a very good opportunity. It depends on whether they can catch it, and the time is also very short. The American film industry is rising very quickly, and their time is only the last few years of the Tian Dynasty.
about this issue. Mak Cheng-hsiung is the most vocal. Not only does it hold a theater chain in its hands. Moreover, his films have also achieved great success abroad. At this time, Gao Wenhuai frowned even more. If he wants to change, he must change his thinking. This is also very difficult. Golden Harvest is a big company, so it is very easy to change. Otherwise, Shaw Brothers would not switch to the television industry.
Mai Chengxiong can't help Bu Wenhuai at this point. At this time, it depends on his iron-blooded policy. After proposing to change the concubine, many of his subordinates will definitely stand up to oppose it. If the small hatred is suppressed enough, the pattern will The matter is not like Xi Shen Liu. "Mai Chengxiong left Gao Wenzhun's office banquet. He needs time to consider this matter. It is also related to Jiahe's future and must be cautious.
"Axiong, it turns out you are back too. I heard you shot a new movie in Hollywood?" At this time, Cheng Long suddenly appeared and asked politely.
Right after the New Year, Cheng Long led the team to Africa to shoot the new film "Eagle Project". This time he rushed back because of the Academy Awards. He was about to find Mak Sing-hsiung when he suddenly saw him in the company. Mak Sing-hsiung is a great guy. He did him a big favor, so Cheng Long was very enthusiastic about Mai Chengxiong.
Cheng Long was much thinner when he came back this time, and his left arm was a little stiff. He smiled and said, "I accidentally bumped into it during the filming. It's no big deal. I just happened to come back to attend the Academy Awards ceremony. I can also recover from my injuries."
"Brother, don't be too desperate when shooting. By the way, how was the shooting? Did it go well?" Mak Chengxiong said sincerely. Cheng Long is a famous hard-working man when making movies. He also left a lot of injuries on his body. He had to fight with the God of Death several times. The sickle passed by.
Cheng Long said with a smile: "The filming went very smoothly. We also received enthusiastic help from local residents. It was just a small accident. Our props and banknotes were stolen by locals. In the end, we were arrested by the police, which resulted in serious consequences." Arriving at the crew. A person in charge was taken away. He may have to be detained for a period of time before being released because of the crime of disrupting the security of the place. The laws in that place are really bad. If you want to shoot there, you must pay attention to this. point."
Mai Chengxiong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn¡¯t expect that he would be implicated in this way, and it was not worth it for the person in charge. Those who didn't understand were jailed. It seems that if you go to Africa to shoot in the future, you must pay attention to this.
Cheng Long said to Mak Cheng-hsiung, "By the way, this time we met again at the Academy Awards. Fortunately, it's not your own action director from DreamWorks, so we don't have to compete with each other."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? obviously The Married Family Class, but also received a nomination for the Best Action Direction Award. Also nominated were the Hong Family Class and the Liu Family Class."??Cheng Xiaodong, in this way the best action coaching groups or individuals in Hong Kong will meet each other.
The competition for this year¡¯s Hong Kong Academy Awards is also the most intense. Hong Kong¡¯s best groups or individuals have been nominated for almost every award. It is also the most exciting event in the past five years. No one has an answer for the winner of this year¡¯s award. We can only wait until the final announcement.
Today is the day of the Academy Awards Ceremony. So in the afternoon, all the major film companies stopped, and the actors also went back to prepare carefully. Mak Chengxiong also attached great importance to this Academy Award, and he went home early in the afternoon to prepare. Afterwards, we drove to pick up the people.
This time the person Mai Chengxiong picked up was not Weng Meiling, but Yuan Heping. Because Yuen Woo-Ping has collaborated with Mak Seng-hsiung many times and has never rejected Mak Seng-hsiung, this time the two collaborated on "Fist of Heroes" was lucky enough to receive a nomination, so Mak Seng-hsiung asked Yuan Woo-Ping to attend this scholarship award. Yuan Heping also readily agreed to the ceremony.
Today, Yuan Heping was also dressed up carefully. He did not wear a suit, but wore a very dark and decent Tang suit with very exquisite fabrics and workmanship. He looked majestic and heroic.
"Lao Yuan, you are very energetic today. I guess you will be the most outstanding one when you walk on the red carpet later. Why don't you see your female companion?" Mai Chengxiong asked strangely, walking on the red carpet. At that time, this was also an unknown rule. Of course, many people walked alone every year, but only a very small number. Yuen Woo-Ping is now very familiar with Mak Sing-hsiung and said with a smile: "Originally I was going to bring a female companion, but a gold medal screenwriter in Hong Kong invited me. Of course I have to take it seriously. I guess if I walk on the red carpet with you, I will definitely do it. I don¡¯t need to bother with inviting other female stars who are more in the limelight.
Yuan Heping is a mature and steady person. Mai Chengxiong came earlier and originally wanted to arrive at the venue earlier, but was stopped by Yuan Heping. The two of them came to Yuan Heping's home for tea. Yuan Heping was still thinking about the filming of "Tomb Raider" in Hollywood, so the two of them quickly brought up the topic of filming.
"Ah Xiong, actually I think about it sometimes. With the help of stunt technology, action movies will have more room for development. It won't be long before they become the most popular movies. When will I have the opportunity to shoot them?" A film like yours." Yuan Heping said seriously.
Mak Chengxiong smiled and said in agreement: "Well, your idea is right. Action movies will definitely become the most popular movie genre in the world. Since you want to make such a movie, it will be easy. , after the shooting is completed, I will ask people in the digital field to cooperate with you. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡±
After hearing this, Yuan Heping smiled and shook his head. He said: "You are completely wrong. Even if I had the help of a stunt company, I still wouldn't be able to make it. Because of my different thinking, I wouldn't be able to make such a film. On the contrary, painting a tiger cannot be the opposite of a dog."
Yuan Heping's tone suddenly became pessimistic. In fact, he was not pessimistic solely for his own sake. It's just that he was inspired by the scenery and thought of Hong Kong movies. Recently, Hong Kong movies have been developing very quickly. Not only did the shoddy scenes not stop them, but the huge interests drove them away, which in turn fostered their arrogance. Secondly, after filming a Hollywood film, he also realized the same thing. If we compare the same two films, the quality of Hollywood films is much higher than that of Hong Kong films. This will put Hong Kong films at a disadvantage. On the contrary, many people are stubborn and unwilling to accept new things. , even he is a little sensitive to new things, and he is a little unwilling to think about it.
The two of them dropped the topic and it was almost time. They could leave just in time to enter the venue. You must know that this is the time of year when filmmakers are most prosperous, and tonight belongs to them. They can cheer and rejoice as much as they want.
When we arrived outside the concert hall, the place was already occupied. There was a sea of ??people, and it was impossible for a car to get close. So Mai Chengxiong parked the car on the side of the road and walked to the venue with Yuan Heping.
Mak Sing-hsiung has brought many surprises to Hong Kong movie fans this year, including the popular shootout blockbuster "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" and the thrilling Japanese satirical film "Resident Evil". They were all written by Mak Sing-hsiung. Young Shun Yue Zhao was very proud of it. Moreover, he also heard that Digital Domain was also a branch of DreamWorks. At this time, Hong Kong movie fans were even more proud and regarded Mak Sing-hsiung as their hero.
So when Mak Sing-hsiung and Yuen Woo-Ping just arrived at the edge of the venue, there was an endless stream of screams from the fans around them. The young fans shouted Mak Sing-hsiung's name loudly, and many fans asked Mak Sing-hsiung for his autograph. , this is the treatment only a star can get. Although Mak Sung-hsiung is not a star, his status in the hearts of movie fans has surpassed that of a star.
"Haha, I just said that if I walk with you, it will be very lively. Looking at these excited fans, I am very envious. Yuan Heping said to Mak Chengxiong at this time.
Mak Chengxiong said with emotion: "Yes, it is because of these loyal fans that DreamWorks can achieve today's success. Their support is DreamWorks' greatest wealth, otherwise we would not be able to acquire a Hollywood theater chain."
The entrance had just begun, and Zou Wenhuai had just walked through the red carpet. At this time, the fans on the edge suddenly screamed. At this time, everyone was very surprised and looked behind them. However, there were so many people here that they had no idea what was behind them. What happened? Gao Wenzhun was walking on the steps and looked back. Soon, Mai Chengxiong's figure appeared in the center of the whirlpool. At this time, he also smiled slightly and said to Hong Jinbao beside him: "So it's this, Ah Xiong, no wonder it caused such a big sensation. By the way, Sanmao, there is no deep hatred between you and Ah Xiong, and Mai Chengxiong That was done for the good of the entertainment industry. Especially after Boss Pan left, the quality of Debao's films also improved. Just look at the Academy Awards this time and you will know that Debao was also a blessing in disguise this time. Speaking of which, You should thank Ah Xiong
Hong Jinbao frowned. He already knew that Jiahe had been very close to DreamWorks recently, and Bu Wenhuai had also changed his opinion of Mak Chengxiong a lot. There were rumors that Jiahe had accepted Mak Chengxiong's suggestion. I was about to make some adjustments. Bu Wenhuai was now speaking for Mai Chengxiong. It was obvious that he was still very optimistic about Mai Chengxiong. However, Hong Jinbao's character was very arrogant, so he just acted very calmly and did not express his thoughts.
At this time, the venue was in full bloom again, with sharp voices coming from the edges and the middle. The reporters were even more anxious and wanted to use the magic of clones.
Mak Cheng-hsiung was also very anxious, because their progress was almost stopped. The fans became more and more enthusiastic and blocked the front, and more and more people asked for autographs. If the fun continued like this, By the time they walked into the venue, the Academy Awards were almost over.
"Dear fans, please give in. Today's main event is the Academy Awards. Otherwise, we will delay the normal start of the awards ceremony. Please forgive me. I will definitely meet your requests after it is over. Okay. Okay, please make a way for me and Director Yuan. Thank you everyone. Mai Chengxiong had no choice but to speak loudly.
His words caused everyone to laugh, and then he seemed to be struck by a sharp sword in the middle of the crowd. Fans forced their way out of a winding, not-so-wide path. At this time, fans were not surrounding Mak, but allowed him to attend the Academy Awards ceremony smoothly.
two. When people arrived in front of the red carpet, big shots from big companies had already entered the venue, and many celebrities began to walk on the red carpet, which immediately attracted fans to shout and shout out the names of their favorite stars. , of course there are different opinions here.
"I thought it was a big star who came here just now. Is it Zhou Run? It turns out to be you, Ah Xiong. This formation is really impressive. I guess all the stars present are starting to be jealous of you." Xu Ke Sometimes I would joke with Mak Cheng-hsiung.
Mai Chengxiong didn¡¯t expect that Xu Ke hadn¡¯t gone in yet. It happened that I was still worried about the status of his new film at this time, so I took advantage of the time when I was walking on the carpet to ask: "Old Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. By the way, the film "Once Upon a Time" was filmed. how's it going?"
"It went very smoothly. It is estimated that the filming will be completed in another half month. The post-production should not take long. We will be able to meet the fans in May. By the way, you really have to write the name of the writing team for this script. Huh?" Xu Ke asked Mai Chengxiong again after finishing speaking.
Although the script of "Once Upon a Time" was written by Mak Seng-hsiung, this time Mak Seng-hsiung also wanted to make a name for DreamWorks' writing team. So he decided to write the DreamWorks writing team on screenwriting. Give up your own interests to them.
"Actually, I think it's better to add your name. Now Hong Kong movie fans are obsessed with you as a gold medal director. Your influence has surpassed that of a box office star. As long as your name appears, movie fans will buy it. The box office will definitely be good, which is really a pity. Xu Ke also felt heartbroken about the box office and advised Mak Chengxiong.
"Not necessarily. You may be wrong this time, Lao Xu. After the DreamWorks screenwriting team completed several scripts, they wrote another one, so their reputation is also very good, and everyone knows that many scripts are It¡¯s the idea I provided, so they will be regarded as synonymous with me, and the power of the group is much stronger than myself. The fans will definitely support it. Just wait and count the money. Mak Chengxiong smiled Said, it happened that the reporters' cameras were focused on the three of them, Mak Cheng-hsiung,?Heping and Xu Ke all smiled and allowed these reporters to take pictures.
Of course, three men, who are also the most outstanding screenwriters, directors and action directors in the Hong Kong film industry, walked onto the stage together, which immediately aroused everyone's speculation, and all kinds of ideas were immediately formed in everyone's minds.
How could Xu Ke and Yuan Heping be so close to Mai Chengxiong? Are they going to join DreamWorks? This is really big news, and the report will definitely make movie fans all over Hong Kong exclaim.
However, fans who follow entertainment news know that both of them have cooperated with DreamWorks. They are very happy to see them come together. The result of this powerful alliance must be a classic film. "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Fist of Heroes" are examples, so they have begun to speculate about their next Which one will the collaboration be? Xu Er and his gang are very good at making lies. Until now, the films shot by their studio, such as "", have not been disclosed to the outside world. They only care that insiders know about it. However, they went to the mainland to shoot, so these The reporters who were all-pervasive were also scratching their heads and did not understand their information at all, so everyone was even more confused about Xu Ke's new film.
So at this time, a reporter was at the edge of the red carpet. After taking photos, he couldn't help but asked: "Director Xu, I heard that your new film is about to be completed, but we don't know the name of your new film yet. , can you tell the fans?" This reporter was also very adventurous, because reporters here rarely ask questions.
Xu Ke also said calmly: "Actually, the film I shot this time was co-produced with Hong Kong gold medal screenwriter Mak Sing-hsiung. This is also the second film we have collaborated on. As for the name of the film, I will not announce it here. , after all, this is the Academy Awards ceremony, not a press conference for my new film. However, I can also tell everyone that this new film has been shot for four months. It is estimated that it will be available to everyone in May. Interested friends can continue to follow our updates, thank you
Many people¡¯s jaws were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that weirdo Xu would announce his new film at this time of the Academy Awards. This guy is really cunning, and the conference staff will probably warn him soon. After all, today is the Academy Awards ceremony, if everyone does this. From now on, the Academy Awards ceremony will not turn into a wet market.
Behind Mak Cheng-hsiung and the others, the cheers of the movie fans were getting louder and louder. Many big-name actors had already walked on the red carpet one after another. And some of them are very influential actors in Asia, including male stars such as Zhou Run and Cheng Long. Female stars such as Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and the most popular Wang Tongxian recently also walked on the red carpet one after another.
The seats in DreamWorks have been significantly changed this time. They were originally in the middle. But this time DreamWorks has been ranked in the front row. The Hong Kong film industry has long regarded DreamWorks as a big company, and now DreamWorks has built a branch in Hollywood to acquire theaters and shoot large-scale productions. It has already surpassed these large companies, so their status has also undergone tremendous changes this time.
Mak Cheng-hsiung is really a little uncomfortable, after all, he has been accustomed to the middle position over the years. The first row felt a little too depressing to him, but the conference had been arranged, so he sat there honestly.
Mai Chengxiong looked around him. Here were some very influential company bosses or people in charge. People from Jiahe, Xinyi City and Debao were already sitting here. He was very surprised to see Mai Chengxiong sitting in the front seat. , but figured it out quickly.
The second and third rows are for the artists and employees of the four companies, followed by the medium-sized companies, and so on until the last row.
The emcee this time is still the very popular Yu Zheng. He is the special emcee of the Academy Awards. He can be seen in several Academy Awards.
Yu Zheng didn't talk too much on stage. He quickly announced the winners of today's first award, the Best Editing Award. He also quickly announced the winners of the Best Soundtrack and Best Art. The Guidance Award, after all, the audience takes these awards very lightly. Everyone just sees them as appetizers, so there is no need to make a big fuss about them.
It¡¯s time to announce the Best Action Director Award. This award has also been valued by everyone in recent years, because action movies have become more and more popular.
At this time, Yu Zheng on the stage also began to say: "This year, the Hong Kong film industry has also produced a lot of excellent films, and most of them are wonderful action films, so the award announced below is what everyone values ????very much now. Best Action Direction Award, please invite the nominated guests to the stage."
There are a total of six nominations for the Action Guidance Award this time. The four major teams of Cheng Jia Ban, Hong Jia Ban, Liu Jia Ban and Yuan Jia Ban are all on the list, as well as Cheng Xiaodong.Walking up, there was Dong Hai, who was not very familiar with him. This action director was able to catch all the outstanding action directors in Hong Kong. After seeing such a scene, many people applauded warmly. They are also happy for these nominees.
Although the four representatives of the martial arts instruction class on the stage are all old acquaintances, they are not very harmonious. After all, everyone is fighting for more than a day or two. They are all martial artists, so their face is more important. If you don't want to lose face, this award is even more important at this time.
The presenter opened the envelope at this time. It was announced: ¡°The winner of the Best Action Direction Award at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards is Yicheng Xiaodong.
At this time, everyone was a little confused. Originally, several teams came up, and they all guessed that the award should be given to them, which made it more lively. However, in the end, it did not go as everyone imagined. Xu Xiaodong successfully took it away. this award.
At this time, the atmosphere on the stage has relaxed a lot. The best result is that no one wins the award, otherwise the atmosphere will definitely be very embarrassing. After all, no one wants to see their competitors win the grand prize.
Yuen Woo-Ping was a little embarrassed because this was his first time being nominated. Originally he was very confident because he knew Hong Kong films so well. The fight design of "Fist of Heroes" is the film he is most proud of, and with Mak Cheng-hsiung's ideas, it is difficult for him to surpass it.
