1979 Golden Age

Not long after Chen Qi went to the United States, the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards were held.

In the evening of that day, the Grand Auditorium of Regent Hotel was star-studded, and the host was still Yu Wan. At this moment, Zheng Zeshi was standing on the stage. With the role of Fat Cat in "Why Have Me", he defeated a group of good players and won the title of the Best Actor.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"

Zheng Zeshi was so excited that he shed tears on the spot and said that he stepped down with the trophy.

Immediately afterwards, Tsui Hark and Ann Hui came on stage and presented the Best Director Award.

Ann Hui’s trajectory has not changed much, but Tsui Hark is very different. He has already missed several films such as "Shushan", "I Love Night Fragrance", and "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order". And according to the timeline, he should be doing "Dao Madan" now, but "Dao Madan" is gone.

But in contrast, his resume has more "Orphan Resentment", "Human and Ghost Love Not Complete", "Tai Chi 3" and "Black Heroes", and under the guidance of Chen Qi, he rushed to the international stage in advance and was still full of energy.

But it was not like decades later, it fell into the filming of Jin Yong's ancient doll movies.

“The nominations are—”

"Zhang Wanting's "Illegal Immigration"!"

"Santa Kwan "Woman's Heart"!"

"Sammo Hung's Heart!"

"Xie Jin's "The Soul of the Military Defense Kingdom"!"

"Cheng Long's "Police Story"!"

"The Soul of the Military Defense Kingdom" is "The Wreath Under the Mountain". The Golden Star Award was reformed by Chen Qi, and mainland films can also be registered. Xie Jin came to support the audience and sat down below, and he was also the focus of the audience.

“The one who won the Best Director Award is—”

Tsui Hark opened the envelope and Ann Hui said, "Xie Jin, "The Soul of the Military Defense Kingdom"!"

"Wow!"

The applause rang out in an instant, with curious inquiry and courageous complaints, after all, most people were not familiar with it. Xie Jin himself was stunned. He was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he did not expect that he would win the award.

He went on stage in a fog, and when his fingers touched the trophy, he felt a sense of reality. He looked at everyone below and felt deeply moved:

"Thank you for awarding me this award, I'm not prepared... My biggest feeling is that the Hong Kong film industry is so inclusive and open, and is very friendly to mainland filmmakers, which touched me very much..."

"ha!"

Someone laughed quietly, and everyone's expressions were very strange.

Don’t you know why it is tolerant and open, and why it is friendly to the mainland? But it may be really unknown. The mainland colleagues can't imagine what the Hong Kong River is like in the shadow of the old days.

The Golden Star Awards have been rejecting the mainland for decades. Now that we surrender early, this is the benefit of traveling through time early.

"The Wreath Under the Mountain" masterpiece in film history, the Golden Rooster Award was not given an important award, and there was no best director or best film, only the best actor. As a result, I won the Director Award in Hong Kong...

So Xie Jin was really moved. Balabala said a lot, praising the Golden Star Award as the light of Chinese-language films.

He won this award, but his Hong Kong colleagues really have no objection. "The Garland Under the Mountain" is one of the few mainland films that have gained a high reputation in Hong Kong, and it also sold for millions of box offices.

The last Best Picture Award was given to "Police Story".

Everyone who divided the pork was very happy.

The news came back to the mainland. "The Garland Under the Mountain" did not win the Golden Rooster Award, but the Golden Planet Award, which made some people unable to hold on their faces. They also wrote some sarcastic articles to criticize Xie Jin.

Criticizing Xie Jin is a popular trend in recent years, saying that his movies are outdated and will only film in a fixed frame.

And who do they praise?

Hey, it's the fifth generation!

Zhang Junzhao filmed "The Black Cannon Incident" and Chen Kaige filmed "The Yellow Earth". The fifth generation of the title has been born. They believe that the works of the fifth generation directors are breakthrough.

…………

"I'm so scolding. Didn't I just win the Golden Horse Award?"

"Who made Director Xie famous? He was very enthusiastic about scolding him."

"But don't use us as a comparison. It seems like we have a grudge against Director Xie. How embarrassing will we meet in the future?"

"It's okay, those people scold me too, and the "Divine Whip" was scolded quite badly."

In a small restaurant in Beijing, Zhang Junzhao, He Ping, He Qun and Zhang Yi had a small gathering, making a few side dishes and two kilograms of white wine, which was very pleasant. They are all high-income groups, with small wages and scary bonuses.

Zhang Yi picked up a peanut and said, "The God Whip is still a bit entertaining, and it is inevitable that people will be scolded for not doing their jobs."

"What is entertainment? What is art? I have been with Teacher Chen for several years, but I haven't understood this. I'm all incompetent and jealous of us. I'll be entertaining if I want to entertain, and I can't help but art. I'll still be subject to them. Kidnapping?”

Zhang Junzhao snorted, and the other three agreed.

They followed Chen Qi and their creative philosophy was very different from the original one. They did not reject entertainment films, nor did they regard art as the most respected.

They have been trained in several movies, basically directed by director Zhang Junzhao, photographed by Zhang Yimou, He Qun Art, and assistant director He Ping. These four-person teams are already quite famous.

"Lao He, haven't you found the material yet?"

"No!" He Ping shook his head.

"Then you hurry up. After finding yourself as a director, Teacher Chen will definitely support you. Our generation has emerged one after another, so don't be idle either."

Zhang Junzhao asked Zhang Yi again and said, "Old Zhang, are you sure you are shooting that?"

"I have a tendency, but I didn't think about it."

"I don't think Teacher Chen will agree."

"I also think. Teacher Chen doesn't like works that express Chinese people like barbarians. He once said a concept, from what perspective? What are eunuchs, boy peeing, foot binding, sexual perverts, and humanitarian torrents? ? ”

"The Westerners' curiosity perspective!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yi scratched his head and said worriedly, "I want to ask him to study, but he is not here. I heard that he has gone to the United States."

"Then ask Teacher Gong!"

"Isn't it convenient?"

"I will teach you! You will take your wife and hold the child, just treat it as a visit, and talk about it by the way."

"Hey!"

Zhang Yi clapped his hands, showed his big teeth, and smiled and said, "You still have an idea, I'll go in the afternoon!"

"You really want to shoot. You can ask Zhang Jianya to come and help. That kid is crazy if he wants to join the company." He Qun reminded.

"Okay, he's a good guy, too!"

Last year, Chen Qi found someone from the film studio to produce OEM, but a guy made a mistake and dragged everyone down. Zhang Jianya has been looking forward to Shanghai Film Studio, hoping to transfer him to Oriental Company.

…………

There are awards for foreign awards abroad, and there are also awards for domestic awards for domestic awards.

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in May are not far apart. Later, the golden rooster and the flowers moved to the second half of the year and separated by mistake.

The land of Guoshulin in Beijing Film Studio has been given to Oriental Company. When the weather is getting warmer, several technicians are surveying the land and preparing to build a comprehensive building, plus several dormitory buildings.

In the company's bungalow, Gong Xue was answering a call.

"Comrade Gong Xue! This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are held in Beijing. We want to invite you to be the award presenter. You have been on the film industry for two years and the audience is very concerned about it. Why would you take this opportunity to meet you?"

"Award presenter?"

"Yes! I read the list of winners in one go before, and a bunch of people came to the stage to receive the awards. This year we have made some changes, and presented them one by one, and each award has a guest, which is also in line with the international community!"

“…”

Gong Xue blinked and asked, "Which award should I give?"

"The Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film, you are with Minister Ding."
