    The live broadcast camera swept across the audience, and eagle-eyed viewers would notice that there were a few empty seats in the front row.

    Chow Yun-fat and Chow Sing-chi were absent from tonight's awards ceremony because they were filming in the United States. Only four of the six nominees for the Best Actor award were actually present. In addition to Leslie Cheung, including Tony Leung Chao  The expressions on the faces of the other three people except Wei were a little nervous.

    Liu Qingyun walked onto the stage with the envelope containing the list of winners, and the person presenting the award with him was Huang Qiusen.

    "Why do other people come on stage to present awards, and their partners are all beautiful women, but my partner is you?"

    Liu Qingyun looked at Huang Qiusen with his hands folded, with a puzzled look on his face.

    Huang Qiusen curled his lips, "You don't understand this. The arrangement of the Academy Awards organizing committee is entirely for your own good."

    Liu Qingyun was surprised, "Really? Why didn't I feel it at all?"

    "Think about it, if a beautiful girl is arranged to present an award with you, the audience will definitely think when they see you two standing on the stage, if Liu Qingyun is replaced by Liu Dehua, it will be perfect. Standing with beautiful and handsome men is eye-catching.  Invisibly, you are being compared, which is very embarrassing.¡±

    Huang Qiusen's words made Liu Qingyun very depressed, "You mean I'm not as handsome as Liu Dehua?"

    Huang Qiusen patted Liu Qingyun on the shoulder, comforted Liu Qingyun and said, "You are also very handsome, but you are not as handsome as Liu Dehua."

    "Then what does it mean that the Academy Awards organizing committee arranged for you to come and present the award with me?"

    "Let me set you off? If you don't believe me, you can go to the audience and ask someone. When the two of us stand on the stage, will everyone feel that compared to Huang Qiusen, Liu Qingyun actually looks better?  Still quite handsome.¡±

    Huang Qiusen¡¯s words caused a burst of laughter from the audience.  Everyone knew he was joking, but they were still amused by his humorous self-deprecation.

    When the crowd calmed down, Liu Qingyun took over and said, "Actually, you are also wrong. The real intention of the Academy Awards organizing committee is not to let you set off me, but to let the two of us set off tonight's Best Actor.  Didn¡¯t you notice that all the six shortlisted this time are handsome guys?¡±

    As he spoke, the huge electronic screen behind the stage displayed the photos of the six Best Actor candidates. Everyone saw that what Liu Qingyun said was indeed correct, at least most of it was correct.

    Needless to say, Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung are already veteran handsome guys in the Hong Kong entertainment industry; Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung are rising stars who are as good as their two predecessors in terms of appearance and popularity; of course, compared to the previous four, Stephen Chow  You may have to suffer a little loss.  However, among comedians, his appearance can be considered very worthy of the audience, and at least there is no problem in the evaluation of a handsome guy.

    Among the six nominees, the only one who is not handsome is Ge Minghui, who was nominated for the film "Three Boys in Love". In the photo, this guy has a simple and honest smile, especially when he is placed with five handsome actors.  Together.  It seems even more abrupt.

    After introducing the six nominated actors, Anthony Wong couldn't help but joke that Ge Minghui must have been extremely happy in the audience just now, because this must be the first time someone has praised his appearance on such an important stage as the Academy Awards ceremony.  handsome.

    The live camera also focused on Ge Minghui, who was sitting in the audience. He smiled and raised his hand to say hello to the audience in front of the TV. It seemed that he didn't mind Huang Qiusen making fun of him.

    In fact, the "Soft and Hard Master" teamed up by Ge Minghui and Lin Haifeng is still very famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.  And Ge Minghui's acting skills also fit the name of this group, which has a bit of a hard-and-soft attitude. And the work "Three Boys in Love" that helped him be nominated for the Best Actor this time is one of the more serious Hong Kong films that explores the life experiences of homosexuals.  and how sexual orientation affects their character.

    The whole film is very sincere and moving, and Ge Minghui's performance is particularly outstanding, so it is indeed well-deserved to be nominated for an Academy Award.

    It is said that after filming this film, Wang Jing took a fancy to Ge Minghui and decided to use him as the leading actor in "The Gambler 2". Originally, the media had expressed doubts about whether Ge Minghui could replace Zhou Xingchi in the "The Gambler" series of movies.  There is great suspicion. This time Ge Minghui and Zhou Xingchi were shortlisted for the best actor competition, which also made a large number of people shut up.

    The live footage returned to the stage.  Liu Qingyun had already opened the envelope at Huang Qiusen's urging.

    "The winner of the Best Actor Award at this year's Academy Awards is"Chungking Express", Tony Leung!"

    Liu Qingyun announced the winning result, and Huang Qiusen said congratulations.

    In the audience, Liang Chaowei was stunned for three seconds, and then suddenly stood up from his seat.  Did something that everyone expected.

    In front of the eyes of nearly a thousand people at the sceneIn the live TV footage, Tony Leung and his girlfriend Carina Lau, who accompanied him to the scene, had a passionate kiss that exceeded the normal level of intimacy.

    At this moment, many people were stunned. After a few seconds of delay, waves of applause erupted from the scene.

    In the eyes of ordinary people, this kiss is just over-excitement, but in the eyes of the good media, this passionate kiss is interpreted as evidence that "the relationship between the two is stronger than gold."

    When he walked onto the stage and took over the award from Anthony Wong, Tony Leung's performance was completely different from his usual calm behavior in life. His voice was trembling when he gave his acceptance speech.

    "I really want it, I really really want it I I remember I lost when I was nominated for Best Actor for the first time. This is the second time I won Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.  I was nominated for the leading actor award and it really makes me happy to win.¡±

    Lin Youlun, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this scene. Probably no one thought that Liang Chaowei, who could stutter even when delivering his acceptance speech on stage, would be soft-hearted when receiving awards in the future and go on stage to receive the award.  His performance became more and more calm.

    ¡°Everything has a first time, and it¡¯s not surprising that Tony Leung performed like this.

    According to the previous awards order, after awarding the best actor and best actress, it is the turn of the best director and best picture. However, this year the Academy Awards made some adjustments, and the best screenwriter was also placed in the finale.

    It may seem like a simple order adjustment, but in fact the Academy Awards attaches great importance to improving the status of screenwriters. Of course, some people speculate that the arrangement of the Academy Awards organizing committee is actually the instruction of Lin Youlun.

    No matter what, this year¡¯s Best Screenplay Award is indeed taken very seriously. This can be seen from the fact that Lin Youlun personally served as the award guest, and the final winner was also a bit surprising.

    Wang Jiawei, who was shortlisted for his two works "Ashes of Time" and "Chungking Express", failed to win the award. Instead, Du Guowei, who successfully adapted the classic stage play "I Have a Date with Spring", won the award as a dark horse.

    At this moment, many people couldn't help but worry about Wang Jiawei, because before the awards ceremony, many people regarded the Best Screenplay Award as a benchmark for Best Director and Best Picture. Which film won  If you win this award, you will most likely win the remaining two heavyweight awards later on.

    As the chairman of the Academy Awards, Lin Youlun has always given the impression to the outside world that he rarely interferes in the results of the awards, and even feels a bit indifferent. However, everyone does not ignore the impact of Lin Youlun's attitude on the awards.

    As we all know, Alan Lam personally prefers the development of commercial films. In recent years, Hong Kong's films that have achieved huge commercial success at home and abroad are almost all produced by Alan Lam.

    In contrast, Lin Youlun doesn't have much interest in literary and artistic films. Although the Jiayi Cinema Line has several theaters dedicated to showing literary and artistic films, in the eyes of caring people, this move is just for window dressing.  In fact, it does not contribute much to the income of Jiayi Cinemas. It even has to invest money in it every year to maintain it.

    The Academy Awards have always focused on literary and artistic films. Not even Lin Youlun can change this, otherwise he would not have set up the Golden Dragon Award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in addition to the Academy Awards.

    Thanks to the concept of taking commercial films as the initiative, the Hong Kong International Film Festival has become more and more popular in the past two years, and the Golden Dragon Award has gradually begun to catch up with the Academy Awards in the eyes of everyone. Lin Youlun may not be in a hurry, but the Academy Awards  The award judges must be getting anxious.

    ¡°While adhering to their original position, the Academy Awards judges will definitely tilt slightly towards commercial films, and this is not good news for Wang Jiawei.

    Wang Jiawei himself was worried about this problem, and then he lost his mind. When someone else pushed him, he suddenly realized that everyone around him was looking at him.

    "Congratulations to Director Wang, you are the second person to win the Best Director twice at the Academy Awards!" Er Dongsheng, the winner of the last Academy Award for Best Director, said with a slightly envious tone on the stage.

    Wang Jiawei realized this time that while he was stunned, the results of the Best Director award had been announced.

    Although he was slightly annoyed that he should not have been distracted at such a critical moment, Wang Jiawei quickly adjusted his mood, got up and walked to the front desk.

    "For all Hong Kong filmmakers, standing here to receive an award should be a very exciting and honorable thing, and of course I am no exception. When I won the award for the first time, I thought, when can I  Standing on this stage, I really didn¡¯t expect that my wish would come true so soon. Of course, I would like to thank the Academy Awards and all my friends who care and support me.¡±

    Because it was the second time he won the award, Wang Jiawei behaved very well.It was decided that after delivering a brief acceptance speech, he left the stage with the trophy, but less than five minutes later, he was invited back up again because "Chungking Express" won the best film.

    As expected, Wang Jiawei became the biggest winner at this year's Academy Awards. Although many people had expected this result, it still surprised everyone when it actually happened, especially what happened at the award ceremony. It was destined to be  It will become a hot topic in Hong Kong media for a long time to come.
