Literary Master 1978

Chapter 388 Starry Night

The hustle and bustle in Zhuyuan Hotel lasted for a long time. After the excitement and passion passed, everyone calmed down.

Chen Zifang invited Lin Chaoyang to stay at Zhuyuan Hotel. After completing the check-in procedures, it was late, so Lin Chaoyang sent Ermaitai and Luo Huifang out of the hotel.

"Chaoyang, thank you." Standing at the door of the hotel, Ermaitai held back for a long time before saying this.

Luo Huifang also thanked Lin Chaoyang.

Lin Chaoyang said gently: "Don't be so polite. This matter today just happened by chance. I didn't expect it."

Luo Huifang said excitedly: "I heard that the waiters in Zhuyuan Hotel earn two or three hundred yuan a month. In the future, our salaries will be combined, and we don't have to worry about buying a house."

Ermaitai was also very happy to hear this. In the afternoon, the two were still worried about buying a house. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, Afang's job was solved.

The two can earn three or four hundred yuan a month, and they don't have to worry about getting married and buying a house in the future.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and patted Ermaitai's shoulder, "Hurry up and get the marriage certificate. After you marry Afang, transfer your household registration here. You will be the son-in-law of Shenzhen in the future. I will come to drink your wedding wine then."

Ermaitai smiled and scratched his head, and said again: "Chaoyang, thank you."

"Okay!" Lin Chaoyang patted him.

"You must come to my wedding!"

"Don't worry."

After they separated, Ermaitai and Luo Huifang rode a bicycle each, and both were immersed in great joy.

Ermaitai suddenly said: "Do you believe I didn't lie to you this time? Chaoyang is really my childhood friend and a great writer!"

"Even if you lied to me, what else can I do? People... people are all yours." Luo Huifang said this with a blush on her cheeks.

Ermaitai laughed complacently and pulled her to stop.

"Afang, wait until you enter Zhuyuan Hotel, I will go to your father to propose marriage."

Luo Huifang looked into his eyes and nodded shyly.

Chen Zifang provided Luo Huifang with a job, naturally because he wanted to make a good relationship with Lin Chaoyang. This good relationship may not be noticeable at the moment, but it may be useful in the future.

Anyway, he didn't need to spend real money, it was a good thing.

Lin Chaoyang also understood his thoughts, and took the opportunity to take this favor, just as a wedding gift to the Ermaitai couple in advance.

After staying in Shenzhen for another day, Lin Chaoyang set off for the port and passed the customs to Hong Kong.

He called Li Hanxiang in advance yesterday, and after passing the customs, he was picked up by someone arranged by Li Hanxiang to the hotel.

After a simple welcoming banquet, Lin Chaoyang returned to the room to rest.

The next day was the 3rd, and there was still one day before the award ceremony. Lin Chaoyang went out to buy some gifts for his family.

When he came back after shopping, someone knocked on the door as soon as he entered the room. He opened the door and saw that it was Liu Xiaoqing.

It is also a happy event to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

Like Lin Chaoyang, Liu Xiaoqing also came to attend the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards. This time, she was nominated for the Best Actress Award for "Behind the Scenes".

This was the first time that a mainland actor won at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Liu Xiaoqing also set a record. Therefore, Lin Chaoyang saw her in high spirits and high spirits.

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Xiaoqing said that she had an interview in the evening, so she said goodbye and left.

On the 4th, Lin Chaoyang casually strolled downstairs of the hotel during the day. In the afternoon, Li Hanxiang came to pick him up and found that he was still wearing the Zhongshan suit he had come with. He complained: "Why are you still wearing this outfit? At least get a suit!"

"I'm not used to wearing a suit, but a Zhongshan suit is fine."

"If you go on TV, people will laugh at you for being old-fashioned. Come on, I'll take you to buy a suit."

Li Hanxiang hurriedly pulled Lin Chaoyang out to buy a suit, but Lin Chaoyang refused.

"If I wanted to buy it, I would have bought it a long time ago. Do I need to wear a tie after buying a suit? Do I need to wear a pair of leather shoes after wearing a tie? And then comb my hair into a slicked-back hairstyle, and make my hair and face slicked back with oil.

Forget it, forget it, I can't do these things. I'm a screenwriter, not an actor."

Seeing him like this, Li Hanxiang no longer insisted. Lin Chaoyang looked at the time and said, "It's only three o'clock now. Didn't the award ceremony start at 8:30? You came too early, didn't you?"

"Do you think everyone goes out as rustic as you? You need to do makeup and hair."

Li Hanxiang complained about Lin Chaoyang. This time he brought a makeup artist and a hairstylist to help Liu Xiaoqing with her hairstyle. After all, she was the heroine of his movie. This time she was nominated for the best actress. It must not be shabby for her first appearance on Hong Kong TV.

"Are you really not going to put on a slicked-back hairstyle?"

Before leaving, Li Hanxiang teased Lin Chaoyang.

Lin Chaoyang pointed at his slicked-back hair and said sarcastically: "Do you know why your hairline is receding? It's because you use too much hair oil!"

After making fun of each other for a few words, everyone got in the car together. For the award ceremony, Li Hanxiang specially found two Mercedes-Benz.

It's called Mercedes-Benz in the mainland, and Mercedes-Benz in Hong Kong.

When Lin Chaoyang got in the car, he saw Tony Leung Ka Fai in a suit and a slicked-back hair.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Tai, you're about to be crowned the best actor. What do you think?"

Lin Chaoyang started joking as soon as he got in the car, but Tony Leung Ka Fai couldn't laugh. There were still two hours before the award ceremony, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards. You will get more Best Actor awards in the future."

It would have been fine if Lin Chaoyang hadn't comforted him. Once he did, Tony Leung became even more nervous, and his hands were shaking when he drank water.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and stopped teasing him.

The car drove all the way to the Lijing Hotel in Kowloon, which is one of the earliest five-star hotels in Hong Kong. This year's Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony will be held in the hotel's auditorium.

This year's Academy Awards has made significant progress compared to the previous two sessions.

"Film Biweekly" not only invited Sing Tao Newspapers to co-organize and sponsor, but also invited Infinite TV Jade Channel to broadcast live, and the crew specially arranged a red carpet session before entering the venue.

The crew of "Behind the Curtain" came to attend the awards ceremony. Li Hanxiang, Lin Chaoyang, Liu Xiaoqing and Tony Leung. Compared with the other three people who attended in fancy dress, Lin Chaoyang, who was dressed simply, was inconspicuous and only flashed in front of the camera.

After walking the red carpet, several people came to the hotel's arranged room to rest. There was still an hour before the awards ceremony, and the guests could enter ten minutes in advance.

As soon as the few people sat down in the room, someone came to say hello.

The person was Yu Zheng, one of the gold medal emcees in Hong Kong TV. Together with Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, Dina, and Shi Nansheng, she was called "Hong Kong Talents" by the Hong Kong media.

Hong Kong is full of talented men and women, so just listen to this kind of thing.

Yu Zheng started to switch from being a host to the film industry in 1982. She is a member of the executive committee of this year's Academy Awards. Li Hanxiang's "Behind the Curtain" is one of the favorites to win this year's Academy Awards. Yu Zheng came to say hello on behalf of the executive committee as a courtesy.

After Yu Zheng left, several people came to say hello, either from the organizer and the executive committee, or from the crew members who came to attend the award ceremony.

Zhang Jianting, the director of "Seven Days of Love", Chen Bosheng, the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly"...

There are four people in the crew of "Behind the Curtain". The male lead is a newcomer, the female lead and the screenwriter are all from the mainland, but Li Hanxiang is a famous director, so most of the people who come to greet him are coming for him.

As the award ceremony was about to start, Li Hanxiang was preparing to set off for the auditorium, and the road was full of stars.

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, Anita Mui, Chow Yun-fat, Cecilia Yip, Anthony Wong, Wu Ma...

Lin Chaoyang counted the stars with interest. He noticed that Liu Xiaoqing's eyes were always looking at Brigitte Lin.

At this time, Brigitte Lin was at the peak of her beauty. When she was young, she looked pure and beautiful in Qiong Yao's romantic movies, which made people unforgettable.

After coming to Hong Kong, her temperament changed, with a bit more of the brightness and grandeur of a mature woman, and at the same time, she also had a heroic spirit. Such looks and temperament can be said to be popular with both men and women.

At this year's Academy Awards, she was nominated for the Best Actress for "Shushan", and she was a competitor with Liu Xiaoqing, so Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

In addition to the two of them, the Best Actress nominees for this year's Academy Awards also include Cecilia Yip ("Seven Days of Love"), Cherie Chung ("Men and Women"), and Xu Suying ("Half a Man").

The guests entered the hotel auditorium one after another and took their seats. The crew of "Behind the Curtain" was in the second row of seats, very close to the stage. On the left was the crew of "Half a Man", and on the right was the crew of "Seven Days of Love".

These two films are also the biggest competitors of "Behind the Curtain" at this year's Academy Awards, and both have a greater chance of winning than "Behind the Curtain".

This has a lot to do with the development of Hong Kong's film industry in recent years. Since the late 1970s, Hong Kong's film industry has been influenced by Japanese films and the French New Wave, and its own New Wave has been born.

"Film Biweekly" is the base camp of the Hong Kong New Wave of Film, and the Academy Awards hosted by them has naturally become the main battlefield of the New Wave of Film.

In the first two Academy Awards, the New Wave filmmakers won a great victory. If nothing unexpected happens this time, the New Wave filmmakers will still occupy an important position.

Li Hanxiang is an old-school filmmaker, and he will suffer some losses in the competition for the Academy Awards.

At 8:30 in the evening, the award ceremony started on time. The host of this year's Academy Awards was Zhong Jinghui. In addition to being a host, he is also a stage actor and TV producer.

At the beginning of the award ceremony, Zhong Jinghui spoke a lot of opening remarks on the stage, all in Cantonese. Lin Chaoyang half listened and half guessed, and could understand roughly.

The first award was the Best Newcomer Award, and the winner was Cheng Yuling.

Then Lin Chaoyang saw the tall and handsome Chow Yun-fat come on stage to accept the award on behalf of Cheng Yuling.

Li Hanxiang whispered to him that Cheng Yuling is a new star that TVB is promoting. It is said that there is a lot of controversy about the nomination for the best new star this time, so she did not attend today, but let Chow Yun-fat, her rumored boyfriend, lead her.

Li Hanxiang is an old man of Shaw Brothers, so he knows the hype of TVB very well. He complained to Lin Chaoyang, "This is TVB's usual old routine. Let the rumored boyfriend come out to accept the award on behalf of her, and they can hype it up again."

Listening to the gossip he said, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh.

The things that Hong Kong played with decades ago, these fans are still fooled after another thirty or forty years.

The fans in the mainland are really bad!
