Chapter 613 Great Screenwriter Dongfang Ren
"Why is he here again? Let him in!"
"OK!"
Chen Qi straightened his clothes, and after a while, Shu Qi walked in.
Shu Qi is the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", a famous film critic in Hong Kong, and has also written scripts. People always confuse him with the actress Shu Qi.
Shu Qi's real name is Lin Lihui, a Taiwanese. Wang Jing brought her from Taiwan to Hong Kong and wanted to give her a stage name, so he took two words from "Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting" and called it "Shu Qi". This argument is of course untenable.
With her feet broken, she has nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It is said that the truth is that this film critic Shu Qi always wrote articles to criticize Wang Jing. Wang Jing simply named a third-level actress with the same name, which disgusted him.
Wang Jing has often done this kind of thing, such as in "The Great Mouse", the role played by Zhang Xueyou is Chi Guoguo's taunting Cheng Long...
At this moment, film critic Shu Qi entered the office and said: "Mr. Chen, this year's Academy Awards will be held at the Regent Hotel on April 3. I'm here to send you an invitation letter."
"I seem to have already refused. I'm going to the United States and don't have time to participate."
"But "Life Is Beautiful" is one of the top ten best films of the year. It would be a pity not to have the main creator present."
"What's the pity about the top ten films? If you give me the best film, I will definitely support it."
Shu Qi couldn't answer and could only laugh. Chen Qi said: "Look, this is our contradiction. I have always emphasized that the Academy Awards should not be regionalized and should serve the entire Chinese film industry. "Life is Beautiful" was produced in mainland China and was not eligible to participate.
This kind of thing is very cheap.”
"But the original intention of the Academy Awards was to cater to Hong Kong films. We have already allowed co-production films to participate in the competition. In fact, you can be a co-production film."
"Why should I make a co-production? It's your shame that "Life Is Beautiful" couldn't win the Academy Award, not ours. When will you change the rules, when will I go!"
"OK! OK! We have different ideas. Don't argue. I'm sorry that you don't have time to participate. I hope to have the opportunity in the future."
Shu Qi is a cultural person and will definitely not compete on the spot. He ended the conversation very sensibly. He turned around and walked out, and another voice came from behind: "You don't have much time, think about it carefully, otherwise I won't mind creating a new award!"
New award?
Shu Qi's whole body was filled with excitement, her steps paused slightly, and she ran out in a panic.
This year is only the third time for the Academy Awards. It is hosted by a magazine with very low authority. Everyone only participates out of favour. The left wing has a strong influence. If there is a new award, it may be more influential than the Academy Awards.
big.
When Chen Qi saw him leaving, he found a newspaper to read.
Something that is related to me: Li Hanxiang's "Behind the Curtain", which won eight nominations for Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Female Lead. The actor Liang Jiahui and the female protagonist Liu Xiaoqing.
The literary film "Half Man" produced by Yindu received 9 nominations.
"Shanghai Nights", also produced by Yindu, received 6 nominations, including Tsui Hark's Best Director, Zhong Chuhong's Best Actress, and Best Screenplay Mr. Dongfang Ren!
Ye Tong was nominated for the leading actress for "My Love in Seven Days", and the screenwriter of "My Love in Seven Days" was also Mr. Dongfang Ren, and he got another nomination, a double nomination!
"Why should I go to such an Academy Award? Quan Te Niang is my vest!"
Mr. Dongfang Yan is very popular in Hong Kong. He has directed several popular movies and recently wrote lyrics, which is a cross-border development. Many companies want to ask him to write scripts, but they have never seen a real person, so they can only go around and around.
connect.
The fee is very expensive, the one-time price is HKD 80,000!
"Speaking of which, I'm also looking forward to standing on the stage to accept the award openly. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is."
Chen Qi's bad taste is up again, and Unified Hong Kong Entertainment, including the Academy Awards, is naturally included.
…………
The first nine Academy Awards had no fixed venue, no fixed trophies, no television broadcasts, and no organizing committee. It became formalized from the 10th edition, reached its peak in the 1990s, and expanded to mainland China at the beginning of the new century.
At that time, a mainland actress won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Wow, it was a very honorable thing.
It’s April 3rd in the blink of an eye.
The Regent Hotel is located in a prime location in Victoria Harbor and enjoys the best harbor view. It was opened in 1980 and is very, very new.
In the evening, guests from all walks of life arrived one after another. Fu Qi led the Yindu team, Li Hanxiang had his own company, led Liang Jiahui, and Liu Xiaoqing came. Yes, Liu Xiaoqing came to Hong Kong.
Zhuang Cheng also came with Ye Tong, Xia Wenxi and Li Lizhen.
There are also celebrities such as Hong Jinbao, Zhong Zhentao, Wu Yiuhan, Zheng Yuling and other shortlisted stars. It is much more lively than the first one. It has been held for three years and everyone's participation in this award is also deepening.
We entered a banquet hall with a large round table and a stage in front of it, just like a banquet.
Everyone gathered around the crew and took their seats in the company. Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing were among the crew of "Behind the Curtain", following Li Hanxiang.
Li Hanxiang saw Liu Xiaoqing looking around and asked: "What are you looking for?"
"Let me see if Comrade Chen Qi and Gong Xue are here?"
"They're not participating tonight."
"Why don't you participate? Didn't "Life is Beautiful" win the top ten best films?"
"I don't know about this. Let's take ours."
Li Hanxiang coughed. To be honest, his impression of Liu Xiaoqing was very subtle. This woman ignored the shooting plan and went out to do acupuncture without permission, which made him very angry. However, he admitted that she was superb in business and generous and loyal to people. She was a rare kind in Hong Kong.
Big woman".
The award ceremony had not yet started, and a few people were chatting. Liang Jiahui said: "Master, when will the film you talked about with Brother Qi be filmed?"
"Don't mention it! That guy fooled me with pictures, and now he doesn't even see the flaws in the script!"
"What movie?" Liu Xiaoqing interrupted.
"Telling a love story between two women! Are you interested? If you want to act, I will keep the role for you." Li Hanxiang said deliberately.
"No, no, no!"
It's rare for Liu Xiaoqing to refuse, the love between two women? Oh, it's better for a man! So exciting!
Li Hanxiang was actually very depressed. He originally planned to make five movies, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", "Listen Behind the Curtain", "Tongzhi Zhongxing", "Reform" and "Eight-Power Allied Forces", to completely show the history of the late Qing Dynasty.
As a result, the co-production agreement changed, subsequent filming failed, Chen Qi deceived people again, and Director Li was now in a vacant period.
After a while, the award ceremony began.
The third Academy Awards only has 12 awards, and there are also the top ten Chinese-language films of the year, which were announced in advance, and "Life is Beautiful" is among them.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere is still that of a party within the circle, without a strong sense of ritual.
There were no male or female supporting actors, and there was only one Best Newcomer Award, which was given to Zheng Yuling. The Best Action Director was given to "The Five Lucky Stars". When the Best Screenplay was awarded, the guests on the stage read:
"Dongfang Ren's "Seven Days of Love", Tan Guangyuan's "The Fighting Arena", Shi Yangping's "Half the Man", Li Hanxiang's "Listen Behind the Curtain", Dongfang Ren's "Shanghai Night"!"
There is no big screen, so we can only rely on manpower. The guest also joked a few words: "This Mr. Dongfang Ren is so miraculous that he has two nominations. I wonder if he will show up tonight?"
"..."
Fu Qi and Zhuang Cheng were the only ones who knew the truth, and they lowered their heads and suppressed laughter.
Then listen: "The winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Screenplay is "Seven Days of Love". Congratulations to Mr. Dongfang Ren!"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone stretched their necks to watch, curious, but unfortunately the real owner didn't come.
Zhuang Cheng came on stage, took the trophy and said: "I will accept the award on your behalf. Thank you all, thank you very much! This gentleman really wanted to come, but something really delayed him. Please let me apologize. If there is another chance next year, he will definitely come in person."
"
"Whoosh!"
Chapter completed!
