Chapter 330 Zhang Guorong defeats "Kung Fu"!
If the media and audiences were asked to choose, the most popular film would undoubtedly be "Kung Fu"!
Not only the media and the audience, but also the stars attending the award ceremony think so.

Last year's "Kung Fu" is really too far away. It was the annual box office champion for Chinese-language films, and its global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars!

The only three movies ranked ahead of him are "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Li An, "Time and Space Clue" by Chen An and "Hero" by Zhang Yimou!
Moreover, the word of mouth is surprisingly good, and it is hailed as Stephen Chow’s culmination of work!

Zhou's nonsensical comedy combined with black humor make up this classic!

But the ending is not like that!
It won many technical awards, including Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Action Design, and Best Editing. At the beginning, it seemed that the situation was very good!
It seems like it will sweep all the awards!
However, the Best Actor and Actress awards went to the two leading actors of Wang Jiawei's "2046", Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi!

The most interesting thing is that the Best Director award was won by Zhang Guorong from "If Love"!

"Interesting." Chen An said with a smile, waking up Zeng Li, who was almost asleep, with a mischievous look.

Zeng Li rubbed her eyes and asked, "Mr. Zhang won the award?"

"Yes, the Best Director award went to Stephen Chow for Kung Fu."

Chen An touched the other person’s head with his chin.

In the TV series, Zhang Guorong walked up to the podium in the spotlight with a casual attitude. Probably because he had been with Chen An for too long, he didn't seem very excited.

The camera suddenly turned to Zhou Xingchi. He was sitting in his seat looking at the stage expressionlessly, and the same went for several people in the crew next to him!

The highly anticipated "Kung Fu" lost the Best Actor and Best Actress awards and only won the Best Supporting Actor award.

Now the Best Director award has also been won by "If Love", and the winner is first-time director Zhang Guorong!
Some were happy and some were sad. He was not very happy, but the fans at the scene cheered excitedly, "Brother won the award!"
Zhang Guorong felt like she was back home in Hong Kong Island. She waved to her friends under the stage and fans on the steps behind before accepting the trophy.

He took over the topic and said, "Finally I got the award. I've been sitting here for more than an hour. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here. I haven't been here for so many years. Fortunately, I didn't go home empty-handed. If I had gone home empty-handed, I would have complained to my boss, Director Chen!"

He said this while laughing, holding up the trophy and jokingly facing the camera: "I know you are watching, boss, no need to bother them, hahahahaha"

The supporter Zheng Yuling next to her was a little embarrassed. The stars below the stage applauded and laughed, but some were not so brazen and covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

The fans on the steps gave earth-shaking cheers, and the camera swept across the fans on the steps, all of them were smiling.

The golden horse is a golden horse, and the golden statue is a golden statue.

The Golden Horse Awards failed, but the Golden Statue Awards are too late to be happy. With the rise of the mainland market, Hong Kong Island no longer needs the Taiwan market and capital as before, nor does it have to look at people's faces as before!
The Hong Kong community was laughing non-stop about the Golden Horse Awards. Probably the only one who didn’t find it funny was Zheng Yuling on the stage, because she was the one being scolded!
Before the TV series, the live broadcast was delayed a little bit.

After listening to Zhang Guorong's speech, Zeng Li covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

It’s so funny. It’s true that people who have been with Ang Ge for a long time are not serious. It’s so funny!
Chen An scratched his head and couldn't help laughing. Zhang Sheng was really interesting!
"I can't stop anymore. Haha." Zeng Li laughed so hard that her stomach hurt a little.

Especially when sitting in the arms of the protagonist of the other person's words, it feels like I can't stop at all.

Chen An pinched her face. It was a little rough due to the training before, but now it was smooth and tender again after some maintenance.

After pinching for a while, Zeng Li's smile finally stopped.

"Stop laughing, that's enough. The next award for Best Picture will probably be Kung Fu." Chen An moved the other person's head towards the TV.

Zhang Guorong has stepped down from the stage, and the new award presenter has come on stage to present the last of the regular awards, Best Film!
Zeng Li tilted her head back to look at the lower half of Chen An's face and asked, "Is this true? Are you so sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An moved his hand back to face the TV. "Best Director is an individual award. Even if the Academy Awards dislikes Stephen Chow, if Kung Fu isn't the best film, then there's really no point in holding the award!"

Chen An said without denying it.

There is no need to reiterate the excellence of "Kung Fu". If it were to be compared with all the movies in the world, it might not be good enough to be ranked in the top three or win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Because the commercial attributes are so strong, Oscar may have a slight chance.

But it would be a bit problematic if the Hong Kong Film Awards, an award of Hong Kong nature, was not given to "Kung Fu"!
The gold content has plummeted!
It’s not just awards that bring honor to films, the credibility of award ceremonies and film festivals is also given by films!
Both parties achieve mutual success, and this is the optimal development!
The outcome was not unexpected, the Best Picture award was still given to "Kung Fu".

But Zhou Xingchi’s expression was not that happy. However, after going on stage to receive the award, he still smiled and said some words of thanks!
"Okay, the awards are over. I'm going to sleep!" After watching the Best Picture award ceremony, Zeng Li stretched and was about to break free from his arms and go to sleep!

"Don't worry, there's more!" Just as he stood up, he was hugged back by Chen An: "You were watching and sleeping at the same time, and we haven't finished moving the hundred movies yet!"

Several have been announced before, with one added at various points in the process. They are all old movies from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

And now the stage that mainland filmmakers are paying attention to has just begun.

Zeng Li sighed. She had to get up early tomorrow to practice English, but she still lay in his arms and watched obediently.

The subsequent promulgation was not as elaborate as the previous one, but was announced directly.

Most of them are Hong Kong movies, after all, they are organized by others.

"The Female Zen Master", a work that Chen An likes very much, was only ranked ninth. This is Chen An's favorite martial arts movie, so it should be in the top three.

King Hu may not be that famous, but he is definitely a master among masters!
There is no other martial arts film in the world that can match this!

Among Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, only the films of the latter two made the list.

Among them, Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" even made it into the top ten. This movie was directed by him and photographed by Zhang Yimou. It was followed by "Farewell My Concubine", which is an indispensable part of the history of Chinese films.

Three films by Zhang Yimou were included in the list: "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju Goes to Court" and "Not One Less", all three of the Golden Bear and Golden Lion films were included in the list!

Jiang Wen did not go, just like Chen An, but "Sunny Days" was also on the list.

The most ridiculous one is Wang Jiawei. Except for "2046" which was released last year and nominated this year, all his films are on the list, so Chen An is too lazy to go!

However, the films nominated by Chen An are somewhat surprising. They are "Shoplifters", "Run Lola Run" and even "Little Forest"!
Although he knew that the movie "Little Forest" performed well on Kids' Day and was also very popular in Hong Kong Island, Chen An did not expect that this movie would also be shortlisted. He felt it was quite ridiculous.

Maybe it’s because of the style, this kind of warm and healing work is rare in Chinese films, and it has a different feeling in Hong Kong Island, a place that has been developed for a long time and has an extremely fast pace of life.

Anyway, the reviews in the mainland are average. Compared with Chen An’s films, these two films are not very outstanding. However, most of the Hong Kong actresses I met said that they liked this work. This may be the difference.

"Hmph!" Zeng Li snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Little Forest" was actually shortlisted.

Chen An sighed when he saw him like this. As expected, when she was related to Yu Jinghong, she was like a triggering keyword: jealous!
