1979 Golden Age

Everyone in the Beijing Film Studio sat together.

Li Xiuming was in the front row of Gong Xue, putting aside other thoughts for the time being and staring at the stage.

Just like last year, there was no fancy part. Several guests read out the list and announced the winners of the Golden Rooster Awards in stages, and then came on stage to receive the awards one by one.

Cheng Yin won the Best Director Award for "Xi'an Incident".

Sun Feihu also won the Best Supporting Actor for this film. Gu Yue had few roles, so she couldn't win the award in the first place, but at the same time, there was also a reason that she didn't dare to give it to the actor who played the role of the teacher?

This kind of thing will have to wait until the 1990s, and he can only win the Hundred Flowers Award.

The Best Actor vacancy last year was given to Zhang Yan from "Laughter in Moon Bay" this year. Zhang Yan is an old actor in his 60s. After winning the award, "Popular Films" used him on the cover, which led to a drop in sales.

In the 1980s, there was already a preliminary appearance economy. Everyone likes to watch beautiful female celebrities and handsome male celebrities. Who wants to watch an old man?

"..."

Li Xiuming stared at the guests' mouths, looking forward to it, and finally heard a voice: "Best Actress Award, "Xu Mao and His Daughters" Li Xiuming!"

"Whoosh!"

She had been mentally prepared for the applause of the audience, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment. When she stood up and glanced back, Gong Xue was confused: What are you looking at me doing?

The others are not surprised either. The Golden Rooster Award is known as the Expert Award, just like this scar. When "Xu Mao and His Daughters" was released, the industry knew that it was inseparable.

“Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you to the judges, and thank you to the party!”

Li Xiuming held the trophy in one hand and the certificate in the other, and spoke choked with sobs on the stage. Everyone at the Beijing Film Studio was actually quite happy, as it meant that another golden rooster actress was born in the studio.

Finally, amid applause, she stepped off the stage and looked back.

Li Lianjie found it interesting and asked quietly: "Sister Xue, does she dislike you?"

"A little bit!"

"You two have a grudge?"

"She is one of the three golden flowers of Beijing Film Studio. I came later, but I won the award first, so I was very unconvinced."

Gong Xue explained in a low voice, and Li Lianjie curled his lips and said with a smile: "It's still a matter of strength. If you are really good, you don't need to be jealous of others. Look at me, I'm never jealous!"

"Be humble and don't think that no one will care about you when Archie is not around."

"Tsk, I listen to you very much!"

The two of them had filmed a movie before. Gong Xue had a good temper and had something to do with Chen Qi, so Li Lianlian was quite close to her.

After the Golden Rooster Award was awarded, the Hundred Flowers Award was awarded.

A guest came on stage and read out the list as usual. The crew of "Tai Chi" became nervous. This was the most popular movie last year. Li Lianlian attended this kind of occasion for the first time and began to look forward to it.

Among martial arts stars, he and Cheng Long have very good acting skills. Li Lianlian didn't win a Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor until "The Legend".

But this is the Hundred Flowers Award, and the competition is for popularity.

"Best Feature Film: "Tai Chi", "Xiyingmen" and "The Legend of White Snake"!"

"Whoosh!"

Li Wenhua stood up excitedly and walked onto the stage. He knew that he was a tool man, but what happened to the tool man? A tool man can also become a great director.

The three directors went up first to give their speeches, and then continued to announce:

"Best Actor, Li Lianlian in "Tai Chi"!"

"Best Actress, Gong Xue in "Tai Chi"!"

The audience was silent for a second, and then the loudest applause of the night broke out, because it met the expectations of the crowd. Once the results of the Hundred Flowers Award deviate from the hearts of the masses, the award will die.

For example, Li Baihua Jushi Yifeng in later generations!

"Don't be stunned, get up quickly!"

Gong Xue played the role of a big sister and led the inexperienced Li Lianlian to the stage, took the trophy and certificate, and pulled him to stand in the center of the stage to show it to the audience.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you all for your love, I, I..."

After all, Li Lianjie was still young and could not remember the words he had memorized. He stumbled while speaking, and was also touched for a moment: Oh! This is what it feels like to win an award!

"Tai Chi" became the big winner. There was a row of leaders and experts sitting below. Someone asked out of curiosity: "How many votes did you get this year?"

"It's over 1 million. Both of them have exceeded 1 million. It's unprecedented and probably unprecedented."

"I remember Gong Xue got 1.26 million votes last year?"

"Yes, there are hundreds of thousands fewer votes this year, a sharp drop. The second is Li Xiuming, with more than 200,000 votes."

Big drop?

Everyone was amused. Some people shook their heads and sighed: "She won the Hundred Flowers last year, and she won the Hundred Flowers this year. Considering the popularity of her new film, wouldn't she also win the Hundred Flowers next year? Awarding it to one person for three consecutive years is a bit excessive!"

"The Hundred Flowers Award relies on audience voting. As long as the audience likes it, we will give it to the three consecutive winners. If not, then simply cancel it!"

"Oh, I'm just saying casually, why are you so excited?"

"Actually, there is some truth. Concentrating awards on one person is not conducive to the development of other actors."

"Then let them gain some momentum and sell 480 copies?"

If you mention this, you have no friends. Do you think copying is just for food? Nowadays, everyone in the domestic film industry understands that Chen Qina is an alien creature and is not from the same group as them, so there is no need to compare.

"I will continue to work hard and produce more and better works to live up to everyone's love. Thank you!"

After Gong Xue finished her speech, she raised the trophy and waved it to the audience. The heat wave of more than 2,000 people came to their faces and swept through the stadium. Some shouted "Shaomei" and some shouted "Qiuxia"...

She was like a band conductor, making the last and most powerful ending, beating Li Xiuming just now.

And Gong Xue stood on it and couldn't help but look out, as if he were thousands of miles away: "You must also go well!"

…………

Two flowers bloom, and one branch appears.

A few days before the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers event, Cemetery Hill, Hong Kong.

Cemetery hills in the 1980s were not like those of later generations, with densely packed tombstones one after another, spread from the top to the bottom of the mountain, and there were still many empty spaces. Land is at a premium in Hong Kong, so cemeteries are naturally very expensive.

Basically starting from 100,000 per square meter, there is a price but no market.

If you can't buy it, you can only store the ashes in a cemetery cabinet, but you have to queue up for the cemetery cabinet, so many people simply leave it at home.

When we watch Hong Kong movies and dramas, we often see a photo of the deceased placed in the protagonist’s home, with a hole in the wall behind the photo to store the urn. Do you think it’s necessary for the plot? In fact, it is realistic.

"Ajie!"

"Ajie——wuwuwu——"

A black-and-white photo of Andy Lau was posted on a prop tombstone. Zhong Chuhong almost fainted from crying and fell into Liang Jiahui's arms. Liu Dehua was in a ghost state, looking on with a confused expression.

This is the last shot of "The Love Between Ghosts".

"Click!"

"OK! Go!"

Zhong Chuhong was still twitching, and her mood had not calmed down. Liang Jiahui was handing her a handkerchief, while Chen Qi took the prepared red envelope and said with a smile: "Hua Zai! I don't have much money, just for good luck!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

Acting as a dead person requires giving red envelopes. Liu Dehua knew this rule, so he carefully picked it up, thinking about going to the temple to pay homage tomorrow. He had no choice but to play a dead ghost throughout the film, and he felt unlucky.

Chen Qi glanced at Tsui Hark again, and Tsui Hark did his part and announced with a loudspeaker: "The Love of Ghosts is finished!"

(No more...

Has anyone played "Black Myth"? How is the experience?)
