Chapter 919 Award Ceremony

It was beyond Li Wenhou's expectation that Chen Guoping praised Wu Di so much. Both he and Liu Xiaoguang were just movie buffs, and their ability to appreciate movies was limited.In their view, Wu Di's works are generally a little boring, with slow narrative progress and few conflicts, just like a home-cooked dish.

But Chen Guoping is different. As a senior film director, he sees problems from a completely different angle from Liu Xiaoguang and Li Wenhou.

It can't be said that Wu Di is a kid who usually pulls around [-] million. It seems that this kid does have some skills.

"I also like "Spring Breeze Night" very much, but the subject matter of this movie is a bit sensitive, and some judges may not be able to accept it." Shen Zhong also recognized Wu Di's work.

Seeing what the two said, Li Wenhou laughed and said, "Since the two of you like "A Night Enchanted with Spring Breeze" so much, I hope you can recommend it to your friends."

The friends Li Wenhou mentioned are naturally not ordinary friends, but the judges of the Hong Kong City Film Festival.

Chen Guoping laughed, "Mr. Li, we will not interfere with the fairness of the Hong Kong City Film Festival selection, which is the foundation of the Hong Kong City Film Festival."

Li Wenhou sneered in his heart, what he said was really high-sounding.But as far as he knows, the Hong Kong City Film Festival is not as fair as he said. There are at least three or two film festivals, and there are huge disputes over the ownership of the awards.

But Li Wenhou said, "That's right, of course we can't interfere with the fairness of the Hong Kong Film Festival. I just hope that the film "The Night of the Equinox" can leave a good impression on the judges."

The three of them just chatted and did not give Li Wenhou a clear answer.At the end of the dinner, Li Wenhou prepared gifts for the three of them, handed them to the three of them with his own hands, and sent the three of them away.

When Chen Guoping and others left, Liu Xiaoguang asked Li Wenhou, "What's in the box?"

"Goldware, these Hong Kong Island guys like this stuff, it's very tacky." Li Wenhou said disdainfully.

After a night's rest, Li Wenhou and Liu Xiaoguang led the main creators of the three films and began to promote the films in Hong Kong City.

All three films will be screened in Hong Kong City, thanks to their recent award nominations at the film festival.

Although many directors and young literary and artistic people are flocking to "Spring Breeze Night", the movie that is really extremely popular in Hong Kong City is "Ghost Lights Up Five"!
With a weird plot design and super shocking visual effects, this commercial blockbuster, which is not too alarming compared to the big productions in the United States, set off a movie-watching boom in Hong Kong City.

It only took three days, and the cumulative box office exceeded [-] million.Let "Ghost Lighting Five" become the fastest domestic film to break through the box office of [-] million yuan.

Xu Sheng took the main creators of "Ghost Lights Up Five" to interact with movie fans in several large theaters in Hong Kong City.

Wherever he went, he was warmly welcomed by Hong Kong fans.

The Hong Kong Film Festival officially opens.

As the highest-level film festival in China, the Hong Kong Film Festival has attracted much attention, attracting hundreds of media from home and abroad to report live.

Outside the venue, a long red carpet was laid out.The female stars dressed up beautifully, competing for splendor on the red carpet.

Liu Xiaoguang and others walked into the venue, took their seats, and sat down.

The lights suddenly dimmed.

"The Hong Kong Film Festival is about to start, please turn off your phone or turn it on silent mode."

The voice of the staff came from the microphone in the venue.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Hong Kong Film Festival!"

Luo Cheng, a well-known host in Hong Kong City, appeared on stage.

"This year is the 60th birthday of the Hong Kong City Film Festival. 60 years ago, our predecessors held the first Hong Kong City Film Festival Awards Ceremony at this venue." As Luo Cheng narrated, the big screen behind him , slowly showing photos of the first Hong Kong City Film Festival.

Although 60 years have passed, from these photos, you can still feel that the unparalleled beauty of the movie stars at that time was more attractive than the stereotyped beauties today.

"In the span of 60 years, the Hong Kong City Film Festival has grown from self-entertainment to one of the most influential film festivals in China."

On the big screen, the winning photos of the main awards of each film festival were successively displayed.

Every photo made the venue burst into applause.

Liu Xiaoguang also applauded. As someone who experienced the golden age of Hong Kong movies, many photos resonated with him.

After the sensational nostalgia session ended, the awards ceremony officially began.

The awards that were awarded at the beginning were relatively low in gold content, and most of them were technical awards.

Best Costume Design, Best Music, etc.

"Ghost Lighting Five" successfully won the best visual effects.

For such a result, Liu Xiaoguang was not too surprised. The special effects of "Ghost Lighting Five" were produced by Shengshi Xuanting.

After several years of development, the current Shengshi Xuanting is already the highest special effects production team in China.Even compared with the top overseas special effects production teams, it is not inferior.

Zhao Liang, the technical director of Shengshi Xuanting, came on stage to accept the award.

"Thanks to the Hong Kong Film Festival for recognizing our work, and to my boss for supporting me. Ever since I started working in Shengshixuanting, I have dreamed of winning the Academy Award one day! Today I did it!"

With that said, Zhao Liang picked up the trophy and waved it vigorously!

Liu Xiaoguang smiled all over his face. He recalled the scene when he first met Zhao Liang. A few young people full of enthusiasm founded Shengshi Xuanting, and when the funds were cut off, they were bought by Liu Xiaoguang.

In just a few years, Zhao Liang has already stood on the stage of the Hong Kong Film Festival,
The awards ceremony continued.

Liu Xiaoguang discovered that the Hong Kong City Film Festival still has a certain sense of local protection. The probability of winning awards for local films in Hong Kong City is still relatively high. Even many films and actors that Liu Xiaoguang has never heard of can win awards.

For example, the Best Supporting Actress was won by an actress Liu Xiaoguang had never heard of.

Finally, the main event of the awards ceremony begins,
In every awards ceremony, the most important awards are Best Actor and Actress, Best Film and Best Director.

These four awards will also be arranged to be awarded at the end.

The best actress award was won by veteran actor Yong Mei.Yongmei's performance in the movie "The Best Day" is completely natural, and she deserves the award.

However, the applause at the scene was far less than the tears before.

Only the actors and directors from the mainland applauded enthusiastically, while the directors and actors in Hong Kong were not enthusiastic and only applauded perfunctorily.

Next, there is the award for Best Actor.

Liu Xiaoguang is quite concerned about this award, because Chen Jun, an actor from Big Bear Film Production Company, was shortlisted for the Best Actor award.
