Zhou Huimin walked onto the stage in a pink tube top dress, her smile still sweet and pleasant. Naturally, the audience could not detect the faint sadness hidden in her eyes through the camera.
Although she is angry with Lin Youlun, Zhou Huimin still insists on attending tonight's award ceremony. As the last Academy Award winner, she has the obligation to be the award guest for this year's Best Actress.
Presenting the award with Zhou Huimin was Wu Junru. As soon as she took the stage, she laughed at herself and said that she should have found a male star to partner with Zhou Huimin to present this award. Because her personality was too "manly", the Academy Awards organizing committee found one. she.
The audience burst into laughter, but most people still stared at the envelope in Zhou Huimin's hand.
It is no surprise that the technical awards presented earlier were reserved for several literary and artistic films. In particular, Zhang Shuping, who collaborated with Wang Jiawei, not only received two statuettes, but also won the Best Editing Award jointly with two others. .
Of course, the most surprising thing is the literary film "I Have a Date with Spring" adapted from the classic Hong Kong stage play, which won the Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actress in one go. Zhou Jialing, who was paying attention, unfortunately did not win the award.
"Every time I see others winning awards, I feel envious. I don't know when I will get it myself. After thinking about it more, I came up with a rule. It seems that people who have served as guests at the Academy Awards ceremony, It seems that it will be easier to win awards in the future, so I was just joking, and I am really happy to be the guest of honor this time."
As soon as Wu Junru mentioned this topic, Zhou Huimin said next: "But there are also many people who often serve as judges of the Academy Awards, but they have not won the award yet."
"Is there any?" Wu Junru covered her mouth in surprise, "Brother Cheng Long isn't here today, is he?"
The live broadcast camera scanned the audience, and Cheng Long was indeed not present tonight.
Wu Junru breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said, "Fortunately he's not here, otherwise he would definitely stand up and scold me. But having said that, although Brother Cheng Long has never won an award in his own name, the Cheng family class has won several awards. This is also amazing. of."
Zhou Huimin nodded and concluded: "In fact, not only Brother Cheng Long, many outstanding actors have not won this award, and some people have waited for a long time to finally get this award, so while we congratulate the winning actors, , we should also give applause to those who did not win. It is not that they are not strong enough, but they just lack a little bit of luck."
"Okay, having said all that, I think some people in the audience may be impatient, so let's not 'torture' them any more."
Wu Junru watched Zhou Huimin open the envelope and resisted the urge to look over. She knew that Zhou Huimin would announce the result soon.
But Zhou Huimin did not do this, but handed the opened envelope to Wu Junru.
"I think it would be more meaningful for you to announce the result."
Zhou Huimin¡¯s approach seemed to ordinary people to be a sign of humility, but in the eyes of some caring people at the scene, they had already guessed the outcome of the award.
Sandra Ng took a look at the results of the award, and she held back her excitement and announced: "The winner of the Best Actress Award at this year's Academy Awards is Yuen Yong-yi from "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"!"
Yuan Yongyi in the audience covered his mouth in surprise, too excited to contain himself. However, the photographer of the live broadcast pointed the camera at Chen Kexin sitting on the other side and gave him a close-up shot.
Chan Ke-sin is well-known in the Hong Kong film circle for being a director who favors actresses, and Yuen Wing-yee's award has once again confirmed this rule.
The Best Director and Best Film have not yet been awarded. Chen Kexin just smiled in front of the live broadcast camera. Although Yuan Yongyi won the award, he was pleased, but he hoped to be on stage to receive the award himself.
In contrast, Leslie Cheung, who is sitting on Kexin Chan's right hand, seems much calmer. Although he was also nominated for the Best Actor Award for "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", Leslie Cheung, who has already won the Best Actor Award and has been thinking about his retirement, Let¡¯s talk. It really doesn't matter to him whether he wins or not. Moreover, in the history of the Academy Awards, there is no precedent for a film to win Best Actor and Best Actress at the same time. Yuen Yongyi won the Best Actor Award, which means that the possibility of Leslie Cheung winning tonight is extremely slim.
Of course, the on-site director cut the scene to Leslie Cheung, more because of a joke made by Leslie Cheung back then.
As we all know, Leslie Cheung won the Best Actor Award before he won the gold medal. He had been a "runner" at the Academy Awards for many years, but once again he was shortlisted but did not win. Later, he boasted at his concert that he was a lucky star, and most of the actresses he partnered with would reach the top in no time. No matter how unlucky he is, he can at least get nominated for an Academy Award.??
This was originally a tongue-in-cheek remark, but who would have thought that it would turn out to be a prophecy.
First, his co-star Mei Yanfang won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her first serious acting role. Later, Wang Zuxian won the Golden Horse Award for "A Chinese Ghost Story". Counting other awards, she won other awards, or not. The actress who won the award but was shortlisted for nomination, Leslie Cheung, the "lucky star", really deserves it.
Of course, this situation is not without reason. As Leslie Cheung was the most popular actor in Hong Kong in those years, good directors and good scripts would all consider him. Naturally, the actresses who collaborated with him were more likely to win awards. .
Leslie Cheung himself didn't know what he was thinking. Instead of being a good-looking handsome man, he started to act "rough". Even when he attended such an important event as the Academy Awards ceremony, he looked unshaven. The audience in front of the TV felt a little unbelievable when they first saw him.
When he won the Best Actor Award for "Days of Being Wild", even though Leslie Cheung was lazy and decadent in the film, in reality, he still had the image of a young man in troubled times in everyone's mind. However, since starring in "Farewell My Concubine" "After that, his whole person changed completely. Not only did his standards for roles become more and more artistic, but he also began to be slovenly and personal in his daily life. In newspapers, you can often see him going out to eat and party with friends without shaving. Photo.
Normally, this is okay. This is the Academy Awards ceremony. Leslie Cheung was a bit too casual in doing this. But fortunately, he still knows how to behave. He wore a dress neatly and finally appeared without a pair of slippers.
The live camera stayed on Leslie Cheung for a full three seconds before switching back to the podium. Yuan Yongyi took the statuette from Zhou Huimin and began to deliver her acceptance speech with excitement.
Not many people care about Yuen Yongyi¡¯s words. At this moment, many people in the audience are thinking, will there be more actors like Yuen Yongyi who are Hong Kong sisters on the stage of the Hong Kong Film Awards in the future?
Only Lin Youlun knows the answer, but judging from the fact that Yuen Yongyi won the award, at least in the future, actresses with Hong Kong sister background will have an advantage on the stage of the Academy Awards. This should be certain.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world. She is also a Hong Kong sister, but Zhou Jialing's luck is not very good. Winning the Best Supporting Actress this year should be the closest she has ever been to winning an award.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It is estimated that the possibility of winning the award in the future is unlikely.
After all, not every play can be called "Chungking Express," and not every director can be called Wang Jiawei.
Looking at Yuen Yongyi, who was so excited that she was in tears, Zhou Jialing felt sad, while her "scandalous boyfriend" Tony Leung looked nervous, because he would be nominated for the Best Actor award for the first time. So far, he has been waiting for 8 years.
The first time Tony Leung was shortlisted for Best Actor was at the 6th Academy Awards. Unfortunately, he came across the show in "A Better Tomorrow", and of course he failed.
It didn¡¯t matter that he lost to Chow Run-fat for the first time as Best Actor nominee. Tony Leung was not the kind of person who couldn¡¯t afford to lose. To prove this, he later collaborated with Chow Run-fat in ¡°The Dirty Detective¡±, but depressing things soon followed. .
In this movie, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Chow Yun-fat actually had similar roles, but on the poster, Tony Leung Chiu-wai could only get the same treatment as the vase in the film. When it came to the nomination for the Academy Awards, he was told that the shortlisted Best Supporting Actor.
This time even Carina Lau couldn't stand it any longer. She secretly counted Tony Leung's scenes in this movie in front of her friends and came to the conclusion that Tony Leung had two more scenes than Fa Ge. Why was Fa Ge nominated for Best Actor, while Tony Leung was only nominated for Best Supporting Actor?
With the support of Carina Lau, Tony Leung did nothing but follow the example of his predecessor Xu Guanying and rejected the nomination directly with the words "I am the protagonist".
This incident spread all of a sudden in the circle, and finally reached Lin Youlun, which directly triggered the reform of the nomination process by the Academy Awards organizing committee.
In the late 1980s, Fa Ge, in his heyday, was extremely powerful in terms of box office and awards. Many people were depressed for many years. Tony Leung Chiu-wai also had more luck than others.
After a long time, Chow Yun-fat finally got tired of playing in Hong Kong and prepared to change the map and go to Hollywood. At this time, Tony Leung Chiu-wai has achieved some success in his career. His wife finally became a mother-in-law. But unfortunately, this year's competition for the best actor On the way, he met Zhou Runfa again.
After entering the 1990s, Chow Yun-fat first acted in comedies for a few years while "not doing his job", and then prepared to develop in Hollywood. The judges probably felt that Chow Yun-fat had been "absent" from the Academy Awards in recent years. This time"It's not easy for him to act in a movie seriously this time, so I couldn't wait to give him a Best Actor nomination."
In addition to Zhou Yifa, Leslie Cheung and Zhou Xingchi are also shortlisted for this year. These two are not less threatened than the elder brother. Whether it can be killed from this "death group", Liang Chaowei himself does not have much confidence.
