Chapter 269 The show begins! (Thanks to all the bosses for their votes yesterday!)

The award ceremony officially began after the opening.

"Infernal Affairs" and "Shoplifters" are both popular this time.

One is a work that is said to be a rescue work for Hong Kong Island.

A film that grossed over 100 million yuan in the mainland and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Together, they created the 40th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, which was considered a small grand event.

The first one was the audience voting for the best film, which was a popularity award, and the winner was naturally "Infernal Affairs".

Some of the previous technical awards also have nothing to do with "Shoplifters".

The winners are all from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan.

Even Gu Changwei did not win the Best Photography award, which was taken by the Taiwanese movie "Missing".

It was not until the announcement of the Best Adapted Screenplay that it was finally the turn of Li Yang, the director and screenwriter of "Blind Well", to win the award.

When he got on stage after winning the award, he accepted it with a happy face and expressed his gratitude.

This movie was banned in mainland China and has never been released, but it won many awards.

Chen An watched quietly as Li Yang on the stage wondered whether he should grab him and walk away. But in the end, he decided not to do so as the other party walked towards the ground with unwavering steps.

After the other party stepped down, the next award, Best Original Screenplay, was also won by "PTU".

"Shoplifters", which was also nominated for this award, failed to make the list again.

But Chen An didn't care. He also liked Du Qifeng's movie and applauded along with them.

Next, "Blind Shaft" won an award again, and Wang Baoqiang, who was selected by Chen Wei to perform, won the Best Newcomer Award.

The winner of the award with him was a ten-year-old girl.

Looking at Wang Baoqiang who ran onto the stage excitedly, Chen An felt that he was still quite young, not as wretched as Tang Ren later.

Wang Baoqiang felt very excited after winning the award, and felt that his hard work had finally paid off.

After being an extra for so long, I finally got the chance to star in a movie and even won an award.

"Wow, I am so excited to win the award. I am very grateful to all the judges of the Golden Horse Awards. I will be more confident to work harder and make better movies for everyone to watch."

After saying that, he nodded politely and smiled happily.

There was sparse applause and occasional laughter from the audience.

Cai Kangyong, who was standing at the podium nearby, also smiled. A poor boy with no background and ugly appearance was making better movies for others to watch.

This Best Newcomer Award is the greatest honor in your life, so be happy about it.

Many people from Hong Kong and Taiwan were also laughing in the audience. They thought it was quite interesting to listen to the silly boy talking in his sleep on the stage.

Wang Baoqiang was still excited. After he finished speaking, he gave the podium to the little girl next to him and couldn't stop laughing happily.

The little girl spoke softly, a little shyly, and finished before she said much.

And the hit work "Shoplifters" finally won its first award!
"The winner of Best Supporting Actress is Shoplifters Zhou Xun!"

With the announcement of the guests, Chen An’s film also won its first award.

Zhou Xun lifted her skirt and slowly stood up. Compared to what happened just now with Wang Baoqiang and the other guy, there was even louder applause from the audience!

Holding up her skirt, Zhou Xun slowly walked onto the stage to receive the award.

Zhou Xun, who won the Best Supporting Actress award again, said a few words of thanks and left the stage.

The Best Supporting Actor award was still given to "Infernal Affairs".

The next Best Actress award was given to Gong Li without any surprise.

After winning the Cannes and Golden Rooster Awards, she won the Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse Awards again!

Chen An applauded and sent the other party off to the stage.

Gong Li, who had won several awards in a row, had nothing much to say. She said a few words of thanks and left the stage.

And then, the fun begins again!
The award presenters Xia Yu and Qin Hailu, who had met yesterday, took the stage together. Introduced by Cai Kangyong, the two appeared on the stage, ready to announce the Best Actor award.

"Hello everyone, I'm actor Qin Hailu." "I'm actor Xia Yu."

They walked to the front of the stage and introduced themselves.

After chatting for a while, they began to make the announcement.

The five nominees for Best Actor appeared on the screen.

"Infernal Affairs" Tony Leung Chiu Wai, "Infernal Affairs" Andy Lau, "The Corridor" Daniel Wu, "PTU" Simon Yam, "Shoplifters" Ge You!
Chen An looked at Qin Hailu on the stage and felt a little puzzled as to how he came up with such an evil look.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang. I don't know whose heart is beating. I'm more nervous than them."

After the performance, Qin Hailu pretended to be nervous and tried to lighten the mood.

But Xia Yu interrupted him and said, "Hurry up and draw the prizes." He looked anxious and just wanted it to be over.

"It's open, it's open." Qin Hailu replied immediately.

The envelope was in her hand, and just as she opened it and was about to announce it, a voice came.

"Wait a moment, you two. Wait a moment."

Zheng Yuling, who was standing next to another podium, interrupted the two people's announcements.

At this moment, the big screen suddenly changed the picture. Cai Kangyong appeared in the audience at some point and looked at the camera with a meaningful expression.

"Special Correspondent Cai Kangyong is at the center of the storm. We want to understand the feelings of the nominees." Cai Kangyong said with a fake smile facing the camera: "Everyone who came on stage just now kept talking about Liu Dehua. Where did you put the other nominees?"

He said something with a hidden meaning in his words. After he finished speaking, he walked to Wu Yanzu, who was also nominated, and asked, "Wu Yanzu, who do you think will win the Best Actor award?"

Faced with the other party's deliberate questions and the microphone handed to him by the other party, Wu Yanzu first looked up at the other party, squinting at him with his glasses and not wanting to answer.

But facing the camera shooting over him, he said helplessly: "I don't know, let's see the result quickly."

I didn't want to get involved, but I made the whole audience laugh.

But Cai Kangyong didn't want to let him go and continued to ask: "Do you think you can defeat Liu Dehua?"

"Hard to say."

Faced with the other party's questioning, Wu Yanzu shook his head and avoided answering.

Liu Dehua also laughed when watching this scene, not realizing that the other party's target was him.

Seeing that he could not get any information out of him, Cai Kangyong changed the person he was questioning. He walked towards Ren Dahua, who was sitting next to Liu Dehua in the front row, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"There is someone who is even braver. Wu Yanzu is hiding in the back row. Simon Yam is sitting next to Andy Lau. He is nominated for Best Actor for "PTU". Mr. Simon Yam, who do you think will win the Best Actor award?"

Looking at Cai Kangyong standing in front of him, Liu Dehua only now realized that something seemed to be wrong.

The microphone passed in front of him and was handed to Ren Dahua who was sitting next to him.

Ren Dahua did not choose to answer directly when asked, "It doesn't matter. I am a policeman anyway and I will not arrest them."

He changed the subject by saying that he played a policeman in the movie, and gave the two people who played criminals in the movie a break.

When Chen An saw this scene, he felt that this old man had ulterior motives and was probably going to do something to Liu Dehua.

Cai Kangyong on this side didn't hear the answer he wanted, so he pursed his lips and thought about the countermeasures, and then continued to ask:

"If you must defeat Liu Dehua, between you and Wu Yanzu, who is more likely to defeat Liu Dehua?"

When Liu Dehua heard this question, his expression began to become abnormal.

Ren Dahua, who is already an old hand, naturally would not be tricked and continued to change the subject: "He is younger. I am only two years older than him, about the same age."

Originally, it didn't make sense, but when Cai Kangyong said it, it seemed like he had heard the key words.

"You mean you're more powerful?" He said it according to what he wanted to understand.

Liu Dehua, who was sitting in front of Cai Kangyong on the big screen, also revealed an imperceptible bitter smile at this time.

But the matter was not over yet. Cai Kangyong finally aimed at the final target and asked Andy Lau, "Mr. Andy Lau, who do you think will win the Best Actor award?"

As soon as this question came out, the audience in the second row at the back instantly erupted into a huge roar: "Liu Dehua! Liu Dehua! Liu Dehua!"

The atmosphere on the scene instantly reached the top level!
Facing the microphone handed to him by the other party and the screams of fans behind him, Andy Lau smiled bitterly and didn't know how to start.
