Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

legend.

Who is the legend?

There is no doubt that Chen Ping is a legend among this year's Academy Awards.

He is the first person to bring Hong Kong movies to a box office of 100 million.

He is also the first person to bring Hong Kong movies to a box office of 300 million.

He was the first person to challenge Hollywood head-on and grind Hollywood blockbusters on the floor.

These data all show.

A legend is born.

…

"Master Bao, you are here too."

"How could I not come?"

"Master Bao, you haven't attended the Academy Awards for many years."

"This time is different."

…

"Master Xing, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"So early this time?"

"I'm afraid of being late."

"What do you think of this Academy Award?"

"Don't look at me. I'm not here to win a prize today, but to meet that person."

…

"Hua Zai, your hair style is so handsome today."

"Really? I spent two hours doing this hairstyle."

"So seriously."

"Of course, I have to fight for the Best Supporting Actor award no matter what."

"Why not Best Actor?"

"You're looking for a fight, right?"

…

"Sister Xia, Manyu, Zu Xian... the three of you came together."

"Yeah, we agreed to come together."

"I see you are in a good mood."

"Yes, in today's grand event, I think he may witness an era and a legend."

"I'm also looking forward to it."

…

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards is destined to be an unusual event.

Different from the previous ones, this year's Academy Awards is much larger and more powerful than the previous ones.

Not only are more celebrities invited, but some heavyweights are also coming.

To know.

In the past few Academy Awards, some big names might not come.

As for why not come.

It's very simple.

They felt that they might not get the prize, so they stopped coming.

In addition, the actors are so busy that they don’t have time to participate in such an award.

But today.

No matter busy or not.

Regardless of whether he won the award or not, almost the entire Xiangjiang entertainment circle... came.

certainly.

It's not just them.

Big bosses from other industries in Xiangjiang also came.

"Damn, all the people appearing today are big guys."

"Yes, I just took a look. All the people on the red carpet are superstars. Some actors who are usually quite popular are a little embarrassed right now."

"Don't even look at the people who are here today, Mr. Xing, the Four Heavenly Kings, Fa Ge, Hong Jinbao... a series of movie stars before Xiangjiang. By the way, there are also Chen Long and Jet Li, they are also here."

"The same goes for directors. Tsui Hark, Chen Kaige, Er Dongshen, Wang Jing, Wu Yusen... and the director of Xiangjiang Directors, Hu Jinquan, are all here."

"In addition to him, there are also all the big guys from Jiji Company in Xiangjiang. Oh my god, this Academy Awards is simply terrifying."

Seeing such a scene, all the spectators secretly sighed.

certainly.

But they understood even more clearly that this time all the big guys came with only one purpose.

That is, just for one person.

otherwise.

Chen Long and Jet Li are in Hollywood. They haven't filmed much in Hong Kong recently. It doesn't matter whether they come back or not.

As for some big names in other industries, there is no need to come.

And the bosses of the brokerage companies in Xiangjiang... they don't usually come.

But now.

All present.

You can tell just by looking at the seats.

Previously some A-list celebrities could sit in the front row.

Now.

Those A-listers can only sit in the third row.

As for the last few rows, they are all popular actors.

But it's a pity.

Today, no matter how popular they are, they can only sit obediently in the back.

…

"I didn't expect that Chen Ping would reach such a height."

"Yes, I used to think that Chen Long was the ceiling of Xiangjiang entertainment industry, not even Jet Li has surpassed him. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping has the faint possibility of surpassing him."

"Don't say it's possible. Looking at the current situation, you will know that Chen Ping's status has actually surpassed Chen Long. However, the media did not talk about it."

"Yes. If we look at his contribution to Hong Kong films, Chen Ping is definitely number one."

at this time.

greatly awaited.

Not just spectators, but also actors, or guests coming to the party.

They would look over at the red carpet from time to time.

When they watch the red carpet, they naturally don't see any other celebrities or actors arriving.

What they were looking forward to was... the arrival of that legendary figure.

…

"Mr. Chen Ping, please come in."

No missed appointments.

Chen Ping arrived at the Coliseum on time.

When the staff saw Chen Ping appear, a burst of shouts broke out from the crowd.

"Chen Ping..."

"Chen Ping is here."

This sound also made all the guests turn around.

Seeing Chen Ping walking out among the crowd, the guests and actors had bursts of envy in their eyes.

"If I can reach half of Chen Ping's status in my lifetime, I will be satisfied."

"Half, hahaha, don't think about it. I'm satisfied if I can think of one-tenth of Chen Ping's status."

"Don't look at it, this is a state that we will never reach in our lifetime."

The media from all walks of life use long guns and short guns.

Chen Ping came in all the way, and all the lights were on Chen Ping.

"thank you all."

The red carpet of the Hong Kong Film Awards is not long.

But this time was the longest period of time that Chen Ping had been away.

This was not Chen Ping's intention to stay.

It is really.

Every step Chen Ping took, he could feel the enthusiasm of the audience, guests, and colleagues.

Facing everyone's attention, Chen Ping is not an aloof person.

So Xin Ran walked to the side, stretched out his right hand, and shook hands with all the fans and guests... one by one.

scene.

Once again there was a sensation.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Chen Ping finished walking the red carpet.

But that's not the end of it.

When heading to his location, the actors who were traveling with him, as well as other celebrities and singers, also came one after another.

"Chen Ping, can I take a photo with you?"

"Senior, I really want to hug you."

"Mr. Chen Ping, fortunately you didn't sing well. If you had sang well, we would all be dead."

Some of these actors and celebrities are popular stars.

But this moment.

In front of Chen Ping, they were just little brothers.

certainly.

It's not just them.

Even some superstars looked sideways when Chen Ping came over.

…

Chen Ping's position is in the center of the first row.

This position clearly shows that today's protagonist is Chen Ping.

Sitting next to them are Zhou Xingchi, Chen Long, Jet Li, Fa Ge, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh...them.

Saw Chen Ping arriving.

Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Xingchi... they also stood up.

Chen Ping didn't take his seat either. He was the first to say hello to Zhou Xingchi: "Master Xing."

But Xingye Zhou Xingchi was not satisfied with this and said: "Don't call me Xingye."

"What do you call me, Star Director?"

"No, call me Xingzi."

Zhou Xingchi said: "Originally, I thought I could retire, but seeing you, I feel that I am still young and still need to work hard."

This remark made the whole audience laugh.

"Then I can still call him Hua Zai."

Liu Dehua on the other side also said at this time.

"And me……"

Li Lianjie also smiled and said: "Please call me Xiaojie."

Brother Chen Long smiled so hard that his eyes became a line and said: "Xiaojie... If you return Xiaojie, then I will be Xiaolong."

But as soon as Chen Long said these words, everyone exclaimed.

Chen Long realized that he had said the wrong thing: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I am really not Xiaolong."

"Brother Chen Long, no matter you are Xiaolong or not, you are our idol."

Although Chen Ping and Chen Long have never filmed a movie, Chen Ping has great respect for Chen Long, a big brother in the film industry.

"What kind of idol do you think I am? You will kill me in an instant today."

"Brother Chen Long, you are so humble."

"What modesty? Do you know what so many people are here for today?"

"For what?"

"What do you think?"

Chen Long said nothing.

But Chen Ping looked around.

Chen Ping discovered this at an awards ceremony at the University of Nottingham.

Almost everyone's eyes were on him alone.

certainly.

There are also cameras.

Almost all the cameras were pointed at him.

…

"Thank you all for coming. This year's Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony has officially begun. Next, we would like to invite Liu Qingyun and Maggie Cheung to announce the first award for us, the Best Art Direction Award..."

After Chen Ping took his seat, the Academy Awards began soon.

In the audience, Fa Ge, who was sitting in a similar position to Chen Ping, came over and whispered: "Chen Ping, thank you very much."

"Brother Fa, do you want to thank me?"

Chen Ping was a little confused, but then he understood: "Brother Fa, you are too polite."

The thanks that Fa Ge mentioned should refer to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon incident.

A few days ago, the number one male lead in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was confirmed, and director Ang Lee chose Fa Ge.

And Fa Ge was recommended by Chen Ping.

However, Chen Ping doesn't think he has any merit. After all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was played by Fa Ge in his previous life.

"I just casually mentioned it to Director Ang Lee, Brother Fa, I can't bear your thank you."

"Anyway, thank you."

"Hahaha, Fa Ge, if you want to thank me, wait until your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wins billions in box office."

"Billions of dollars in box office, you really dare to think about it."

"I believe in you."

Chen Ping nodded heavily.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's previous life took in more than 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office. If converted into RMB, that is more than one billion.

At this time, the original cast and actors, if nothing else, the results should be similar to the previous life.

"The winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Art Direction is Swordsman."

I just chatted with Fa Ge for a while.

The first award was also awarded.

Not too many surprises.

Swordsman won the award for Best Art Direction.

This is not to say how Swordsman is doing at the box office, or anything.

The ink and landscape style of "Swordsman" is indeed very artistic, and it is normal to win the Best Art Direction Award.

certainly.

Popular films don't just get these awards.

Some other awards are also related to Swordsman.

for example.

Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Effects, Best Editing, Best Costumes, Best Original Film Song...etc.

Swordsman also won all the minor awards except for Best Editing and Best Costumes among these awards.

But after these small awards, there are some more important awards.

Like Best Supporting Actor.

Don't think this award is not important.

In normal times, this award would certainly not be important.

Because many actors and superstars compete for the best actor.

They're not interested in Best Supporting Actor.

Moreover, for many well-known actors, especially superstars, it is impossible for them to play supporting roles.

but now.

Although the Best Actor award has not yet been awarded, everyone knows that it has nothing to do with them.

This requires no guessing.

No need to rely on luck.

There was a legend hanging over them.

Don't say it's them.

So what if it's Chen Long?

All right.

Although Chen Long is famous, he has never won an award like Best Actor.

"The winner for Best Supporting Actor is Andy Lau from The Departed..."

When the presenter announced that Liu Dehua had won the award, Liu Dehua stood up excitedly.

Then he nodded to everyone and waved to Chen Ping.

"Thank you everyone, thank you..."

Liu Dehua's award-winning role was Liu Jianming in Infernal Affairs.

In fact, Infernal Affairs has two protagonists.

But now, since Andy Lau has won the award for Best Supporting Actor, it is obvious that Andy Lau is willing to be this supporting actor.

In fact.

If Chen Ping hadn't been in Infernal Affairs, it would have been very possible for Liu Jianming's character to win Best Actor.

after all.

Liu Jianming, played by Andy Lau, is also very good.

Especially after he awakens, the torment and anxiety of wanting to be a good person are indeed very charming.

"The role of Liu Jianming is a very complex one, just like his lines. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

Liu Dehua held the trophy and gave an acceptance speech: "But this sentence cannot move others. Then someone said to me, OK, tell the judge and see if he will let you be a good person."

Everyone laughed.

Everyone naturally knows who said this.

"Thank you again for winning the Best Supporting Actor this time. I want to make a wish here. Next time, I want to win the Best Actor."

applause.

Everyone applauded.

Although Liu Tianwang is said to be not very talented.

Whether it's singing or acting.

But Liu Tianwang made up for his shortcomings through diligence.

For nothing else, just for this effort, it is worth learning from all artists.

At the same time, his wish was approved by most people.

…

Next up is Best Director.

This award, no surprise, was won by Tsui Hark.

The best film was won by Swordsman.

Best Actress, the scene was once more intense.

The nominees include Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ming, Kelly Chen and Ye Tong.

Who is Ye Tong, you ask?

The one who played Yue Lingshan in Swordsman.

Maybe you will ask, isn’t Ren Yingying the number one female star of Swordsman?

Excuse me.

In this, Ren Yingying has almost no role.

As for Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ming, Kelly Chen... why were these nominated?

It looks like they are great at acting.

But if you look carefully, you will find out.

The reason why these heroines were nominated is entirely because they all took roles played by Chen Ping.

For example, Wang Zuxian.

Wang Zuxian and Chen Ping played the role of A Chinese Ghost Story together.

Maggie Cheung played Green Snake together with Chen Ping.

Zhang Min played the God of Gamblers with Chen Ping.

Although the role of Gao Jin's girlfriend played by Zhang Min is only a minor role, she is also the leading female lead.

Kelly Chen played Infernal Affairs with Chen Ping.

Ye Tong, who played the role of Swordsman with Chen Ping.

When this was discovered, countless barrages came one after another.

"My brother, this is amazing."

"Although none of the previous awards mentioned Chen Ping, all the awards are related to Chen Ping."

"I noticed that too."

"I'm wondering, who will be nominated for the last award, Best Actor?"

"Of course there will be Chen Ping."

"Nonsense, I mean..."

"Idiot, you mean?"

"Oh my god... I think it's really possible."

"I feel so too."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why are you mute?"

"you do not know?"

"have no idea."

"Well, you'll know then."

There are some netizens with relatively big ideas who show their talents on the barrage from time to time.

then.

The list of awards for Best Actress has been announced.

The actress who won the Best Actress award was Wang Zuxian.

The list was announced and everyone nodded unanimously.

Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Zuxian is indeed too classic.

but.

What everyone pays most attention to is not the best actress, but the best actor.

This is what everyone is looking forward to.

The last award is the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Best Actor, even though he is a leading actor.

But this award means being called the Best Actor.

"The nominees for Best Actor this year are..."

This time the awards for Best Actor were given to Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh.

Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh took the envelope.

After opening the envelope, Chen Long took a look and his hands trembled with fear: "Zichion, my eyes are not blurry, right?"

"I also want to ask you if my eyes are blurred."

Michelle Yeoh also looked at this list of nominations in disbelief.

Everyone was a little confused by what Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh said: "What are Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh doing?"

"Talk about cross talk?"

"Uh... probably not."

Although many people are confused.

But there are also some insiders who understand something.

"I feel that today's nomination is not easy."

"It's not that simple."

"It's possible that Chen Ping won more than just one nomination."

Although Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh couldn't believe it.

But actually, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing unbelievable.

Holding the envelope, Chen Long said: "Now, I announce that the nominated actors for Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards are Green Snake and Chen Ping."

As soon as Chen Ping's name came out, there was thunderous applause.

When the applause stopped for a while, Michelle Yeoh continued: "Infernal Affairs, Chen Ping."

"really."

"I just said it would be a second nomination."

Chen Ping's second nomination surprised everyone.

But soon, everyone accepted it.

"Haha, it's actually a second nomination."

"That's necessary. Do you think Chen Ping is not qualified?"

"Of course I am qualified. Chen Ping's Chen Yongren in Infernal Affairs is the one who made Andy Lau become a supporting actor."

But it's not over yet.

Chen Long continued: "The God of Gamblers, Chen Ping."

"Holy crap, three nominations."

"Nima, this is too scary."

"It seems to have made history."

There are two nominees for the Academy Awards.

But I have never heard of someone nominated three times.

only.

Chen Ping was nominated not just three times.

Then, Michelle Yeoh continued: "A Chinese Ghost Story, Chen Ping."

All right.

This is already the fourth time.

To be nominated three times is a record.

So what does four nominations mean?

"I now understand why so many people came to attend the Academy Awards today."

"Four nominations, my God, I don’t know how many years it will take to break this Academy Awards."

"Calm down, because there may be five more nominations."

"Five nominations, how is that possible?"

Just when everyone thought it was impossible.

But after saying that, they felt like they had slapped themselves in the mouth.

You say it's impossible?

Is it really impossible?

Linghu Chong, played by Chen Ping in Swordsman, has not been revealed yet.

Do you think Linghu Chong played by Chen Ping cannot be nominated?

Chen Ping was nominated four times in a row.

The final list of nominees.

Chen Long glanced at Michelle Yeoh and said, "Michelle, let's talk about the last list together."

"good."

Michelle Yeoh was also a little excited.

Nodding, the two said at the same time: "The fifth nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actor is Chen Ping, Swordsman."

Yes.

Nominated five times.

The five Best Actor nominations for the Academy Awards were all taken by Chen Ping alone.

…

The two finished talking.

The evaluations of the five characters played by Chen Ping were shown on the big screen.

[Green Snake Dharma Sea: Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Parmakong...]

[God of Gamblers Gao Jin: Please continue your performance. 】

[Infernal Affairs Chen Yongren: Three years and three years, almost ten years...Boss. 】

[A Chinese Ghost Story Ning Caichen: The road of life is like a long road of sweet dreams...]

[Swordsman Linghu Chong: A smile spreads across the sea, and the tide surges across the strait...]

All right.

Need anything more to say?

Do you still need to guess who will win the Best Actor Award?

Nominated five times.

Chen Ping was nominated five times.

So.

The winner of this year's Academy Awards for Best Actor is...

"Chen Ping."

"Chen Ping."

"Chen Ping."

"The actor."

"The actor."

"The actor."

Chen Long and Michelle Yeoh did not speak.

But everyone in the audience shouted in unison.

At the same time.

The crazy barrage added two words on top of the actor:

Five-star actor.

The actor who has been nominated five times is also known as the five-star actor.

but.

The five-star actor used to be just a legend, or theoretically possible.

but now.

Five-star actor has become a reality.
