Chapter 1069 I’m Afraid Xixi Misunderstood

Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi also attended the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards in April.

In fact, neither of them was nominated.

Hao Yun has focused most of his energy on Hollywood over the past year, so much so that he has not produced any outstanding works in mainland China.

However, Hao Yun’s brother Chen Guanxi was nominated for Best Actor.

Although his status in the movie “Ocean Paradise” co-starring with Li Lianjie was not as high as Li Lianjie, he was the real leading actor.

This year’s Academy Awards had a lack of star power and the works were a mess.

The nominees for Best Actor at the Academy Awards are Chow Yun-fat for “Confucius”, Zhang Xueyou for “Moonlight”, Zhang Jiahui for “The Insider”, Xie Tingfeng for “The Insider”, and Chen Guanxi for “Ocean Heaven”.

Chen Guanxi has developed very well in recent years, but he is not picky about the status of his roles and has played many supporting roles.

His acting skills, which were already among the best among the younger generation, are now even better.

Better than the Dog Bite Dog era.

Therefore, he became the popular candidate for the Best Actor award this time.

The main reason why Hao Yun participated in the Academy Awards was that he had taken office as the president of the Directors Association and had received support from a number of directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In return, he also wants to give face to the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In addition, Hao Yun was invited to give a speech at Hong Kong University, mainly talking about culture.

The speech was a morning affair.

The auditorium was completely packed, even the aisles were filled with people.

In fact, Hao Yun had been to Hong Kong University before. At that time, he played A Yun in “New Police Story”. Not only did he give himself another name “A Yun” in addition to “Yun Zai”, he also left behind popular memes such as “A Yun, surrender, there are only Fang Longs outside”.

During the promotion of “New Police Story”, Hao Yun, Fang Long, Xie Tingfeng and others attended a film symposium at Hong Kong University.

As time passed, when Hao Yun once again entered Hong Kong University, he had become a world-renowned director, actor, and entrepreneur, and was admired by teachers and students throughout the school.

Last time he was just a low-key passerby, but this time the school leaders personally went to the school gate to greet us.

As a paper expert and a prospective doctor of law who has already passed his graduation thesis, Hao Yun feels no pressure at all when giving speeches at universities.

Moreover, he has made great achievements in the cultural field, so it is more convincing for him to use culture as a topic.

However, Hao Yun still injected his own personal opinions into his speech.

These students who came for his “legendary life” were taught a good lesson.

It took Hao Yun two full hours to finish his speech.

“That’s pretty much what I’ve said. Actually, I’m about the same age as many of you here. We’re of the same age, so we probably look at things from a similar perspective…”

“Your imagination is different from ours!”

I don’t know who said this, but the whole place burst into laughter and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Hao Yun is very popular in Hong Kong.

A lot of news about him can be seen in Hong Kong.

Even ordinary people know him very well, including Hao Yun’s rather bizarre ideas.

“Don’t make fun of me. You know, creative people must have a rich imagination. Really, you can try it…”

When it came to the question-and-answer session, the questions at the beginning were all normal.

For example, when asked what Hao Yun thought of the current cultural situation in Hong Kong, he basically said that Hong Kong is a bridgehead of Chinese and Western cultures, and praised that some of the traditional culture has a more solid heritage than that of the mainland.

However, Hao Yun still asked the students present.

What is the core of Hong Kong culture?

A culture without a core is just a pile of loose sand.

When he communicates with students, he never denies others or expounds on himself, but he always makes them think.

Even if there were some tough guys challenging him on the spot, Hao Yun could resolve them one by one with his intelligent brain, superior eloquence, and profound knowledge.

The most important thing is that, although he seems to have no sharp opinions, he actually hits the weak spots of many troublemakers, making people see the ridiculousness and stupidity of these troublemakers.

In fact, his speech at Hong Kong University was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

But I came with a mission.

This is also his first Zheng Zhi task after becoming the president of the Directors Association.

Things are not stable here. There is a trend of thought surging secretly, and we need someone who seems not so critical but very persuasive to find out the truth.

Hao Yun is an Oscar winner, Best Director, Golden Lion Award winner, and also the Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is only fitting that he is a film giant whose films dominate the box office charts in Hong Kong every year.

It seemed that Hao Yun was being bullied, but in fact, everyone fell into his trap.

The speech lasted two hours, with a break in the middle and another two hours of interaction. The entire process was recorded and broadcast on TV.

Most people really can’t handle it.

On the red carpet of the Academy Awards in the afternoon, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi walked together.

Many netizens expressed disappointment.

At present, many people on the Internet are calling on Hao Yun to stop hiding it and quickly bring the little crab out for everyone to see.

We get to watch a family of three walk the red carpet.

“Hao Gou! Let go of our Xixi, we want to take a solo photo!”

Someone in the fan group nearby shouted something and received a lot of response.

Let go of that girl, and come at me if you dare!
Shouting “Hao Gou” in broad daylight is really… so exciting and so cool.

Hao Yun smiled and held An Xiaoxi’s waist tightly. He even leaned over to whisper in her ear.

That intimate gesture almost angered many fans to death.

However, Hao Yun still gave An Xiaoxi time to take photos alone, and he went over to be interviewed.

The red carpet emcees were Lin Xiaofeng and Jiang Yi.

Lin Xiaofeng is an old acquaintance. He has starred in the “Young and Dangerous” series.

Jiang Yi is more interesting.

Because she has worked with Hao Yun and played Hao Yun’s girlfriend.

In “New Police Story”, there is a woman in the criminal gang headed by Hao Yun, who is Hao Yun’s girlfriend, played by Jiang Yi.

However, Hao Yun had already become a big shot in the Chinese-language film industry by then.

And Jiang Yi is still a little unknown.

Her appearance, figure and acting skills are all pretty good, but unfortunately she went to Hong Kong to develop her career in 2002.

This choice…

What’s the difference between this and joining the National Army in 1949?

What’s even more outrageous is that she shifted her focus to Taiwan in 2005 and began hosting a number of TV shows.

It was not until last year, 2010, that I returned to Hong Kong.

The domestic entertainment industry has been booming in recent years, with all kinds of stars emerging one after another. I really don’t know what’s going on in her mind.

“Congratulations to Yunzai for being elected president of the Directors Association. Things are really different now.”

Jiang Yi behaved very professionally during the interview. Even if he had any feelings, he probably expressed them long ago.

“CoCo, you are kidding again. I am the waiter of the Directors Association. They chose me mainly to bring new atmosphere to the Directors Association. Just like our Hong Kong Film Awards, young people are always given special care.”

Hao Yun called the other person’s English name very familiarly.

But in fact, they had never been in contact for all these years. After all, he already knew An Xiaoxi at that time.

I’m sorry, I’m afraid Xixi will misunderstand.

“I never thought Yunzai would win the Oscar for Best Actor. Today, I asked you to present the award for Best Actor. Who do you hope will win it? What do you want to say to the new Best Actor?”

English names are very commonly used in Hong Kong, but Jiang Yi does not have much influence, and she and Hao Yun have not had much contact since their collaboration on “New Police Story”. It is difficult for her to calm down when Hao Yun can call out her English name.

All in all, she played a couple with Hao Yun earlier than An Xiaoxi.

They even had a scene together in “New Police Story”. In the end, she was kissed and then shot to death by Hao Yun. The moment Hao Yun looked up, his eyes changed drastically, which made many people admire Hao Yun’s excellent acting skills when he was young.

“Those who got nominated are basically my friends. I’ll be very happy no matter who wins the Best Actor award.” Hao Yun said nonsense in a serious tone.

He definitely hopes that Chen Guanxi will win the Best Actor award.

Then he paused and continued, “The Best Actor award is a recognition of an actor by the Academy Awards. It is a rare honor, but it is also just a title and cannot be used as the ultimate standard for judging an actor. Many actors who have never won the Best Actor award are actually not worse than us in acting. I think as an actor, there is no need to care too much about such empty titles. Playing your role well is more important than anything else.”

Jiang Yi was completely dumbfounded.

She was stunned by Hao Yun’s shamelessness.

The best actor is not important?
Come on, you have not only expressed in public that you want to win the Best Actor award, but look at the movies you have made and the roles you have chosen, you are more or less aiming for the title of Best Actor.

How dare you say that the Best Actor award is not important?

“I am also an actor, and I totally agree with what Yunzai said!” Fortunately, another red carpet emcee nearby reacted quickly and avoided a cold reception.

The rest of the interview went smoothly.

Hao Yun did not receive any nominations this time, and he cannot win the Lifetime Achievement Award, so the main thing is still the award ceremony.

The rest of the time, just sit there with An Xiaoxi and be a decoration.

This year’s Academy Awards are no different from previous ones. The Hong Kong Film Awards are more conservative than the Golden Horse Awards. Even if it’s like looking for undigested peanuts in a shit pot, they are still reluctant to move their mouths away.

So “Fighting in the Ring” won many awards.

The artistic level of “The Ring” is not high, the commercial value is also poor, and the box office is basically negligible. The reason why it stands out is entirely due to the overflowing feelings after the creators have done retro and tribute to the extreme.
This shows that Hong Kong filmmakers, alienated by the mainland film market, yearn for the eccentric and reckless creative atmosphere of the golden age.

The fact that “The King’s Avatar” won the award is also a hint. The voters, including Chairman Chen Jiashang, are telling everyone with this gesture: The Hong Kong Film Awards belong to Hong Kong! The Hong Kong Film Awards are regional! The Hong Kong Film Awards are not for all Chinese films!
Actually, why bother?

In the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, how open, inclusive and confident were Hong Kong films? Today, the “protectionism” that is so rampant is not necessarily a tragedy.

It further highlights the weakness of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

One day in the future, perhaps even the Directors Association Awards Ceremony may have more credibility than the Hong Kong Film Awards.

However, Heidou Media actually had a movie that won many awards, and that movie was “Shackles” – it was the movie that Xin Yukun and a dozen other directors took advantage of the “Split” crew’s off-duty time to shoot.

However, the reported production area of ​​this film is Hong Kong, so it is the Hong Kong film that won the award.

The awards won by “Shackles” have nothing to do with Hao Yun.

Liu Jialin won the title of Best Actress for her role in Detective Dee, which should be a controversial result. Her performance as Empress Wu was just so-so, and Detective Dee itself is not a particularly profound movie.

Hao Yun is more concerned about the award ceremony for Best Actor.

When it was time to present the Best Actor award, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi left their seats and walked toward the podium together.

The two of them are the presenters of this year’s Best Actor award.

“Tell me, if I take the trophy and run away, will the Best Actor award be mine?”

Hao Yun joked with An Xiaoxi on the stage.

“I won’t let you run away. I want to protect the trophy…” An Xiaoxi held Hao Yun’s arm, and the audience immediately started to make a noise.

You two are showing off your love in public.

An Xiaoxi’s status in Hong Kong may not be as high as Hao Yun’s, but her popularity is just as good.

Whenever she goes shopping in Hong Kong, she will be photographed.

It is easy to find news about her in the magazines hanging on the newsstand.

And often even trivial matters are reported in the newspapers.

For example, “An Xiaoxi came to Hong Kong Amusement Park in a low-key manner, biting her fingers while watching marine life.”

Do you have to be so cute?

“Is it wrong to snatch the trophy?” Hao Yun was still making a joke.

“Of course it’s wrong. You have to get it based on your own ability!” An Xiaoxi also acted along with him and advised him seriously.

“Okay then, let’s come back next time and see who has been nominated this time.”

The winners of this award began to scroll on the big screen.

Among these people, except Chen Guanxi, Hao Yun actually admires Zhang Xueyu more.

I feel that he is an actor who was delayed by his singing career.

If he wasn’t such an amazing singer, and if he had failed to make it in the music industry early on, he might have won the Best Actor award by now.

Zhang Xueyou’s work this time is “Moon Full Hennessy”, which is a collaboration between him and Tang Wei.

It’s a pity that it’s a love movie and the nomination is just a runner-up.

Since starring in “Sex and the City”, Tang Wei has actually appeared in many works and has not been banned as some people say.

It’s a pity that none of her works have gained much popularity.

Whenever people see her, they think of her without clothes. We are not used to seeing her wearing clothes, so no matter what she plays, it seems out of place.

It’s the same reason as Mr. Kurai. Mr. Kurai has started acting in serious film and television dramas in recent years, but the results are very average.

“The awards ceremony will begin next. Are you excited?”

Hao Yun held the letter and shouted to the people nominated for Best Actor in the audience.

The searchlight shone on those people, and they all smiled their brightest smiles.

After a while, the time was almost up, Hao Yun opened the letter, and he and An Xiaoxi put their heads together to see the result.

The two looked at each other and announced solemnly: “Ocean Paradise, Chen Guanxi, congratulations!”

After saying this, Hao Yun began to applaud.

When Chen Guanxi usually attends events, he sits in a relaxed posture, but very straight. He stood up suddenly when he heard his own name.

After knowing the result, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that he really doesn’t care about anything. The anticipation of winning the award today makes him nervous, which is rare in his life.

Over the years, he has slowly lost the edge and absurdity of his youth.

Start to calm down and focus on your career.

Especially with his good friend Hao Yun, who was a very fast runner, running in front, it was very difficult for him to catch up.

Hao Yun can compose songs, but he can’t.

Hao Yun can write scripts, but he can’t.

Hao Yun can be a director, but he still can’t!
One of the few things he could do was acting, but he wouldn’t dare say that he was better than Hao Yun.

Over the years, he has worked hard and focused on studying acting.

Hao Yun studied hard when he was writing songs, he studied hard when he was writing scripts, and he studied hard when he was directing.

Compared to Hao Yun who did everything, he wisely chose to specialize in one path.

Hao Yun’s acting skills improved very quickly, and he even won the Oscar for Best Actor. Chen Guanxi cannot compare to Hao Yun, but after several years of improvement, his acting skills have become unique among the younger generation.

Xie Tingfeng had no ability to resist at all.

Even though Xie Tingfeng was nominated, he actually had no expectations of winning the award.

The Hong Kong Film Awards does want to support newcomers.

But he and Chen Guanxi are of the same generation and are both “newcomers”.

He has a strong background and is very successful in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but no matter how successful he is, he can’t compare to the nephew-in-law of the movie emperor boss.

Chen Guanxi has both the strength and the background.

This time there wasn’t even any particularly outstanding competitor, so it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would win the Best Actor award.

Chen Guanxi shook hands and hugged the people around him, then walked onto the stage.

“Don’t hug my wife, it’s not appropriate! Just hug me, I can let you hug me twice, and if you think it’s not enough, I can let you kiss me…”

Hao Yun opened his arms towards him.

“……”Chen Guanxi involuntarily took half a step back.

Shabi!
