Chapter 733: The First Sister Becomes the Queen, the Skinny Horse of Yangzhou

Chapter 733: The First Sister Becomes the Queen, the Skinny Horse of Yangzhou

Du Qifeng, the head of Galaxy and a famous director in Hong Kong, can be said to be a banner of Hong Kong films.

Apart from the "Black Snake Society" series, the films produced by Galaxy Image in the early years, such as "The Birth of a Zigzag", "Dark Flower", "Dark War", "Gunfire" and other films.

All of them are excellent.

It's just that the times abandon a person without even saying hello.

In recent years, Sir Du, who has moved closer to the mainland, has not been able to grasp the pulse of the mainland film market, and several projects have failed in succession.

This year, a film he produced, "Trees Attract the Wind", went around Cannes, but was rejected by the mainland for review, and the release is nowhere in sight.

Zhou Yutang chatted with Zuo Shandiao, and occasionally heard him mention that Du Qifeng was obsessed.

The background of the movie was set on the eve of the return, adapted from the criminal experiences of the three thieves Zhang Ziqiang, Ye Jihan, and Ji Bingxiong.

The plot directly involved the corruption problem in the mainland.

This is not a covert attack, but a blatant stepping on the head. It would be strange if it could pass the review.

The audience was still chatting, and the state was very relaxed.

The two award presenters on the stage, Zhao Yanzi, a full-time female stock god, and Shisanmei came on stage together. After a few awkward words, they quickly read out the winner of the Best Newcomer Award:

"The winner of this year's Newcomer Award is Bai Zhi from "Port of Call."

The first award was announced tonight, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually changed.

Zhou Yutang applauded along with Guo Tianwang and others around him.

This boy, who was a little excited, was born in stage plays and was the murderer Ding Zicong in "Port of Call of Call", who almost left a psychological shadow on Shi Shi.

He has good acting skills and is considered a leader among the young generation in Hong Kong.

Then the Best New Director was given to the father of Shrek, Xu Chengyi.

No matter how the box office came, it is an indisputable fact that "Monster Hunt" has achieved great success in the mainland.

Boss Jiang has been standing in the entertainment industry for decades and can be regarded as the boss of the Hong Kong circle. In terms of background, he is not comparable to Boss Shi.

It was another award for marginal items such as costumes and editing. The winners were very happy. After all, even a mosquito leg is meat. It is better to have honor than to return empty-handed.

"Shi Shi, are you nervous?"

The art film goddess Tang Wei, who just announced her pregnancy, was very enthusiastic. Seeing that her body was indeed plump, Liu Shi Shi smiled gently: "Sister Tang Wei, I'm fine. It's great to be nominated."

"That's not necessarily true."

Tang Wei smiled meaningfully: "I think you have a good chance."

The two of them praised each other's beauty and temperament. The award presenter on the stage announced the best supporting actor, which was still quite important.

Tonight, Zhang Jing from Jiangdong was also nominated for Zhang Tianzhi in "Ip Man 3", but lost again to Bai Zhi in "Port of Call".

So far, Bai Zhi has won two awards, "Best New Actor" and "Best Supporting Actor", which is a rare scene at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The next Best Supporting Actress, Gong Huang, who gave a wonderful performance in "The Accidental Detective", was also nominated, but she did not attend the scene due to schedule conflicts.

The award finally went to Jin Yanling from "Port of Call".

The latter is a veteran actor from Taiwan, playing Wang Jiamei's mother Meifeng.

This year's "Port of Call" received 13 nominations, making it the film with the most nominations at the Film Awards, and it really has the momentum to sweep the world.

Jiangdong produced several films and received a lot of nominations, but they were runners-up all the way until "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" won the Best Action Design.

Outside the venue, the live broadcast of B Station has gradually become lively.

"Damn, it's finally open!"

"The Grand Commander is awesome! Dong Wei is awesome!"

"In addition to selling meat floss, Dong Xiaosa can also make action movies?"

"It's so funny, this is a Hong Kong martial arts director who has worked with the Grand Commander on many movies."

"The previous ones are just appetizers, there are still many nominations, don't worry."

Dong Wei has been a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards in recent years, and he also emphasized his gratitude to Zhou Yutang in his acceptance speech.

There are many excellent martial arts directors like him in Hong Kong, but not everyone can take on Jiang Dong's projects. To some extent, Zhou Yutang is also his mentor.

After the best action design, "Port of Call" once again won the best photography and best screenplay.

"Is it going to sweep?"

The crowd at the scene applauded, buzzed and talked, and everyone looked at him sideways.

Thirteen nominations and five, this is not even the heavyweight awards at the end.

The hosting style of enthusiastic citizen Liu Qingyun is slightly different from his usual serious and simple image. He joked on the stage and the atmosphere of the award ceremony was good.

However, there was an accident after all. The duration of the entire award ceremony was fixed.

However, several award-winning guests were very frugal with words and only spoke a few words. Then the host had to improvise and make up for this part of the time.

The award presenters for the best actor were the big-mouthed beauties Shu Qi and Chen Kexing.

Tonight, Shu Qi wore a one-shoulder dress, which looked bright and sexy. She deliberately said in a relatively exaggerated tone: "Wow, these best actors today are so amazing."

Movie clips of several nominees were played on the big screen.

Guo Tianwang, Zha Zhahui, Liu Tianwang, the god of song Zhang Xueyou, and the classic clip of Zhou Yutang holding a gun and killing people in the church.

The camera quickly scanned the nominees and finally stopped on Zhou Yutang's face.

This is the magic of acting. In the movie, he is the murderous Chen Guilin, but now he is a gentle, peaceful and quiet handsome nobleman.

The singer Zhang Xueyou suddenly sat upright, Liu Dehua couldn't hide the look of hope on his face, Guo Tianwang's throat was shaking, and his breathing was even faster.

Zha Zhahui probably knew that he had little hope, but he was calm. Zhou Yutang also had a face as calm as a lake and a relaxed attitude.

Big-mouth beauties Shu Qi and Chen Kexin introduced several winners on the stage and made a few jokes. Shu Qi pretended to look at the time and made a joke: "It's almost time. Did we talk for too long?"

"Probably."

"I guess everyone can't wait for the answer to be revealed."

"Let us find out."

Chen Kexing opened the envelope and handed it to the loud-mouthed beauty Shu Qi. The latter did not show off and read out slowly:

"The winner of the Best Actor is Aaron Kwok for "On Blood", congratulations."

In the warm applause, after a brief period of confusion, Aaron Kwok, who was so excited, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from his seat.

Zhou Yutang stood up gracefully, shook hands with him and hugged him.

Including the remaining nominees, they all smiled and sent congratulations.

If it were said that Captain Zhou, who had just debuted, made a blockbuster success and won the Academy Award for Best Actor, he was the only one chosen by heaven.

Then Guo Tianwang is undoubtedly a hidden old unlucky man.

He once won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with "Sanchakou" and "Father and Son", but only won the Academy Award.

Nominated many times and accompanied every time.

The last time I was nominated for the Academy Awards was in 2010, when I lost to Simon Yam of "The Thief of Time".

This year is his fifth nomination for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

As for Guo Tianwang, he probably dreamed of this award, but today he finally got his wish, and he was so excited that he choked with tears.

After calming down a little, Guo Tianwang still had a high emotional intelligence. He mentioned Zhou Yutang and did not ignore the other nominees, which won the applause of the whole room.

On the other hand, netizens who watched the live broadcast at Station B felt sorry for Zhou Yutang.

"It's a pity, the boss has a chance to win the title of Best Actor twice."

"It doesn't matter if I win the Academy Award. I'm looking forward to Dadudu reaching the top three in Europe and the Oscar."

"'Zhou Chu' still suffers from the subject matter. Guo Tianwang's film is adapted from a real case of 'a compensated dating girl was killed and dismembered'. It seems to have hit the G-spot of this year's judges."

"Please, there are not many awards left. Is there any chance of counterattack?"

Netizens were talking a lot, and Liu Shishi turned to look at Zhou Yutang, with comfort in his eyes.

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and looked at her gently.

With his current status, it doesn't matter whether he wins this award or not.

I came to Hong Kong in advance not to enjoy the beautiful view of Victoria Harbor and the moon, but just to see my sweetheart in front of me.

After the Best Actor awards, it’s time for Best Actress.

The presenters were Cheng Pei-bi and Leung Ka-fai, both of whom are veterans of the Hong Kong film industry.

Needless to say, Tony Leung Ka-fai, the movie king with a thousand faces, but Zheng Bibi became famous before Leung Ka-fai.

As early as the 1960s and 1970s, she was the leading actress of Shaw Brothers. At the age of 19, she collaborated with director King Wu to star as Jin Yanzi in China's first new martial arts film "The Drunken Man".

She was rated as the martial arts queen by the press and enjoyed unlimited fame.

Not only is she a chivalrous heroine in the play, but she is also like this in life.

Knowing that there was a problem with the duration of tonight's award ceremony, the two deliberately chatted for a few more words. Zheng Bibiao said: "Just backstage, my daughter sent me a message asking me if she could have a signed photo of President Zhou. She is the best A loyal fan, I just finished watching "Qing Yu Nian 3" and I am watching Jiangdong's new drama "Signal"."

Liang Jiahui continued: "I have been fortunate enough to work with Mr. Zhou many times. I believe there is no need to talk too much about his achievements. Among the next works for the Best Actress, "The Tuner" is also a work produced and written by him. , Shi Shi’s performance is so wonderful.”

"Also Lin Jiaxin, Tang Wei and Miriam Yang."

"Karena Lam, "Dark Paradise"

"Tang Wei, "A Tale of Three Cities""

"Zhang Aijia, "Gorgeous Office Worker""

"Liu Shishi, "The Tuner""

"Miriam Yeung, "The Principal of Five Children""

The footage on the big screen showed film clips of the five best actresses.

"They are all wonderful works, and they are all excellent actors. Let us announce the final results. The winner of the Best Actress is"

After cooperating with Zheng Peibei to introduce several nominees, Liang Jiahui handed the envelope into her hand.

Zheng Peibei smiled kindly and continued: ""Tuner", Liu Shishi, congratulations Shishi."

Zhou Yutang was sitting in the audience with a relaxed expression and took the lead in applauding.

As if a certain switch was triggered, there was first a burst of exclamation and astonishment, followed by thunderous applause.

A clip of Liu Shishi's wonderful performance in "The Tuner" was shown on the big screen.

The camera showed images of several movie queen candidates at the same time.

Some people can't hide their disappointment, some force themselves to smile, and some are relieved.

As the winner, Liu Shishi quickly stood up from his seat after experiencing a brief surprise.

"Congratulations, Shi Shi."

"Thank you, Sister Tang Wei."

First, he gently hugged Tang Wei, the Best Actress candidate next to him, and then quickly reached Zhou Yutang's side.

Liu Shishi used all his strength to rub her into his arms.

The scene suddenly went into an uproar, and the barrages in the live broadcast room exploded instantly.

"One sister is awesome!"

"A perfect match is just one word, and I only say it once!"

"The atmosphere is here, why don't you kiss me?"

"Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me!"

"Sa Hua, the first Best Actress to win the Academy Award among the Eight Five Flowers!"

Liu Shishi's fans were frantically swiping the screen, and there were also Jiangdong naval officers eating melons and joining in the fun.

Zhou Yutang gently put his palm on Liu Shishi's round shoulder and whispered in her ear. Only then did Liu Shishi realize that the hug lasted a bit too long and the host was still waiting for her on the stage. Slightly embarrassed, Zheng Bibi walked onto the stage holding up her skirt. She was holding a trophy in her hand.

A golden figure holds up a film-shaped trophy with both hands.

The style is simple, but it is a high recognition and honor for domestic actresses.

This is the third consecutive year that a mainland actress has won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, following International Chapter's "The Grandmaster" and Zhao Yanzi's "Dear."

Among the Eight Five Flowers, Liu Tianxian was the first to be awarded the Golden Horse, and now Liu Shishi also has the honor of being the best among his contemporaries.

Everyone in the audience had different thoughts, but they gave him a fierce round of applause.

After Zheng Peihui hugged Liu Shishi on the stage, she encouraged her with a kind smile on her face: "Congratulations, Shishi."

The two have collaborated in "The Weaver Girl at the End of the World" and "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" and have a good relationship in private.

"Thank you, Mom."

Liu Shishi received the trophy and quickly calmed down his excitement: "Actually, I'm surprised to be standing here, and I didn't prepare an acceptance speech."

"But I have people to thank. First of all, Mr. Zhou Yutang. He found me for this drama. We have known each other for almost ten years. He really taught me a lot and helped me improve a lot."

"Please give me more advice in the future..."

As he spoke, Liu Shishi's eyes flickered and he stared in the direction of Yu Tang below the stage.

Right now.

The noise around her seemed to have all moved away from her and disappeared.

She knows that the career of an actor is not easy, and she also knows that her talent is not outstanding.

It was Zhou Yutang who painstakingly tailored this script for her.

This movie will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of her acting career.

After a pause, Liu Shishi continued: "I also want to thank Director Cao Baoping, he is a very good director, and I also want to thank all the staff of the crew..."

"I will work harder in the future to bring you wonderful film and television works, thank you."

In terms of manners, Liu Shishi was very good at it. After a slight bow, Liu Shishi came off the stage with the trophy.

The camera followed her all the time, but it was a pity that it could not reveal the wonderful scene of passionately kissing the governor on the spot.

The entire "The Tuner" crew, including directors Cao Baoping and Wang Jianhui, were present and sent their blessings.

After listening to Liu Shishi's acceptance speech, even Cai Yinong was a little moved and his palms turned red.

It's not that Liu Shishi is full of witty words and has great literary talent, but her most sincere emotions are contained in her simple words, which is undoubtedly very touching.

Touched and moved, Lao Cai was secretly anxious and gave Liu Shi a clever plan in advance. If he won the award, he would go big at the Academy Awards.

Let’s first confirm the location of the Grand Governor’s main palace.

But in actual operation, things gradually deviated from the planned track.

You hugged me, why not kiss me?

Why are you mentioning Cao Baoping?

Cai Yinong, who claimed to be smarter than Wolong, scratched his head anxiously, wishing he could play in the trumpet instead.

For everyone in the audience, it was a bit surprising that Liu Shishi won the Best Actress crown, and his acceptance speech was touching enough, but the focus of everyone's attention was still Zhou Yutang.

After listening to the first sister mentioned it, I suddenly remembered that it had only been ten years since Governor Zhou debuted, and he had already achieved such great achievements, which was simply unbelievable.

Including the barrage on the live broadcast website, it can be called an explosion at this time.

"I'm a little touched. The first sister and the governor have known each other for almost ten years?"

"Why don't you two just get married where you are, and I'll give you a little flower as a gift."

"Holding the grass, Zhou Yutang made his debut and became the richest man in the entertainment industry in just ten years?"

"Technically speaking, less than ten years."

"The Grand Governor is truly a man of God."

"Haha, the first sister was promoted by Governor Zhou, and she understands everything."

"."

The gifts in the live broadcast room quickly flooded the screen, and the barrage was so lively that it felt like the Chinese New Year.

There are the spirited little lions, the excited Jiangdong navy, the sour fans of other female celebrities, and the skewers and sunspots that can be seen everywhere.

After the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were announced, the genius Xu Ke won the Best Director Award for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". This is also the third time that Xu Ke has won this award.

The best film was "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils". Lao Mouzi had other schedules and was unable to come to the scene. Zhou Yutang took the podium for him, which was considered a reward.

The ceremony has come to an end. The biggest loser tonight is undoubtedly "Ip Man 3", which has recently been involved in box office turmoil in the Mainland.

The film was released in Hong Kong during the Lunar New Year last year and grossed HK$60.42 million at the Hong Kong local box office. It created a local box office miracle and received eight Academy Award nominations.

As a result, something unexpected happened, and the big boss behind the scenes ran away with the bucket. Tonight, "Ip Man 3" only scored one of the eight mentions, and won a consolation editing award.

During the backstage interview session at the end of the award ceremony, both the Hong Kong and mainland media were very excited - as long as Zhou Yutang was here, there would be enough exposure and topics.

Tonight, although Zhou Yutang was not crowned Best Actor again, the Jiangdong series won more awards overall than this year's popular "Blood and Plum Blossoms"!

Especially the last four awards, Jiangdong won three of them.

This is more than half of the country in their hands, it is simply covering the sky with one hand.

After the award ceremony, a grand dinner was specially arranged, and there was no lack of lively socializing.

Zeng Zhiwei brought his son to toast and build relationships, but Zhou Yutang was a little surprised to see Ma Siyu behind Zeng Guoxiang.

Xiao Ma, who is at the peak of his appearance, is not inferior to Aunt Wenli when she was young, and has a more quiet and well-behaved temperament. Since he met, he always had to greet him.

"Long time no see, has "July and Ansheng" finished shooting?"

"Yes, it just finished shooting last month."

Xiao Ma's big eyes were curved, and his voice was soft, "Congratulations, Brother Yutang, you won a lot of awards tonight."

Huh, Brother Yu. Brother Yutang?

Zeng Zhiwei and his son looked at each other, and couldn't help but stand in awe.

Most people call him Mr. Zhou, and only those who are close to him will call him Jiangdong Grand Commander.

"I really envy Sister Shishi. She must be very happy at night."

"Come on, you will have a chance in the future."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, and chatted with Xiaoma briefly.

"Haha, I didn't expect Xiaoma to be so familiar with Mr. Zhou."

Zeng Zhiwei didn't interrupt until Zhou Yutang finished speaking, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou rarely comes to Hong Kong. I toast you a glass. Guoxiang will work in the mainland in the future. Please give me more guidance."

While speaking, he raised the red wine in the glass and drank it up.

"If there is a chance, I will."

Zhou Yutang nodded lightly, but smiled at Xiaoma.

Aunt Wenli was keen on matchmaking before, and the two chatted for a while, but there were too many fish in the fish pond, and it was really difficult to take care of them, so they gradually lost contact.

Zeng Zhiwei went back and whispered a few words in his son's ear. Zeng Guoxiang asked Ma Siyu with a little curiosity: "Xiao Ma, are you familiar with Mr. Zhou?"

"Well, it's okay. I've been in his crew before."

Ma Siyu was talking to Zeng Guoxiang, but her eyes were uncontrollably cast at Zhou Yutang's tall back.

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

"Director Zeng."

Ma Siyu was a little embarrassed and said coquettishly: "It's not what you think."

Filming this "July and Ansheng", I followed the crew from south to north. Everyone got along for several months and they were all friends.

"What do you think I think?"

Zeng Guoxiang thought of Zeng Zhiwei's words and laughed.

When he looked at her again, there was a different meaning in his eyes.

This little princess in the northwest circle is really hidden. The governor of Jiangdong is famous for his romanticism. Maybe these two people have had a past.

Zhou Yutang is not very interested in Zeng Zhiwei.

This ugly dwarf is actually a smiling tiger who eats people without leaving any bones.

If they are not on the same path, there is naturally no possibility of cooperation.

Guo Tianwang has a good relationship with people. Qiu Shuzhen and her husband, Yang Qianhua's husband Ding Zigao, etc. have come to congratulate.

Even Zhang Min, the original owner of the white fox face selected by netizens, came.

Zhou Yutang took a look. The beauty is old, but she can still be said to have charm.

Guo Tianwang, who is in high spirits, will not refuse anyone who asks him to drink.

He ran over to toast Zhou Yutang three times, and now he is drinking with his old friend Zhang Zhilin.

When you are happy in life, you must enjoy it to the fullest!

The woman next to Guo Tianwang came to apologize for him: "Mr. Zhou, Brother Cheng was too happy tonight and drank a little too much. It was impolite. Please don't be offended."

Governor Zhou is famous for his big heart, so he naturally doesn't care about such trivial matters.

However, the wife of the king of pop did not leave after finishing her words. Instead, she showed her identity as a fan, which seemed a bit too enthusiastic, which made Zhou Yutang a little wary.

He might not be able to know what a woman was thinking, but he could always sense whether a woman approached him with a purpose or not.

Although the wife of the king of pop acted like a fan through her skillful expressions and emotional expressions, Zhou Yutang still politely rejected her request for a photo.

The wife of the king of pop did not say much, but just smiled back and left with a twist of her waist.

However, Zhou Yutang always felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. After racking his brains, he finally remembered,

"I've been on a blind date show."

"?"

Ni Ni's beautiful eyes widened, and she felt incredible: "Boss, you can remember this?"

Her mobile phone was connected to the Jiangdong database, and it was easy to find the information of the wife of the king of pop.

In 2009, she worked as a print model for a short time, and later she actually participated in the blind date show "If You Are the One".

How did a small model from the mainland, who should have nothing to do with entertainment industry bigwigs like Guo Tianwang, become the wife of the king?

"Celebrity training class?"

Zhou Yutang heard this term for the first time.

The word "celebrity" seems to represent exquisiteness and beauty.

She should wear fashionable and high-end clothes, all branded clothes, exquisite makeup, elegant temperament, and decent and generous words and deeds.

She should go in and out of various high-end social occasions, and her contacts are all celebrities from all walks of life.

Zhou Yutang has naturally dealt with girls from famous families, and he can't put this king's wife in the same category.

He has dealt with either the two Lius, the blue-clothed beauties, the big beautiful ladies, and Nazha, Reba, etc., and he has never come into contact with this type of woman.

At the moment, it is inevitable to be curious, and after a deeper understanding, it is really eye-opening.

Now, there is even a socialite training class specifically for successful people in the circle.

How to do it?

The organizer has his own connections and plans many opportunities to contact celebrities, and then it's fishing.

This practice has existed since ancient times.

The previous way of playing was called Yangzhou Skinny Horse.
