The 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards has come to an end. Some people are happy, while others are disappointed.
"Goldfinger" won the most awards, winning 6; "Under the Sun" led the way with 16 nominations and won 3 acting awards. Unfortunately, Lin Baoyi missed the best actor.
"The Big Bad" thought it would be a failure, but unexpectedly it won an award for "Best Film" in the end.
Cheng Baorui has been nominated for Best Director many times and finally won the award for "Homicide". He and screenwriter You Naihai can succeed Johnnie To and Wei Jiahui this time.
01. Professional Spirit Award: Tang Ping
Known as "Sister Ping" in the world, she has been in the industry for more than 40 years and has participated in more than 400 films, witnessing the rise and fall of Hong Kong films.
Director Tsui Hark presented the award to her in recognition of her dedication and hard work as a film costume manager.
Professional Spirit Award, film critics, editors, poster designers, dragon and tiger warriors, voice actors, prop masters, film developers, etc. have all received it.
The tea waiter Yang Ronglian received it, and Jackie Chan awarded him the award that year. Jackie Chan himself had already won the 24th Academy Awards, and Ang Lee presented the award to him.
02, 7 Best Action Design Awards: Tung Wei
Lau Kar-leung, Yuen Woo-Ping, Sammo Hung, and Cheng Siu-tung, the four "family classes" they founded have supported Hong Kong action movies.
The movements designed by each of them have their own characteristics. Liu Jialiang is a hard bridge and a hard horse, Yuen Woo-ping is dexterous and changeable, Sammo Hung opens and closes, and Cheng Xiaodong is beautiful and elegant.
But when it comes to who has won the most Academy Awards, it has to be Dong Wei. This is the 7th time he has won the award for "Breaking Point".
's previous 6 performances were: 17th "The Spy Who", 19th "Purple Rain", 21st "The Spy" (cooperating with the Family Class), 29th "October Siege" (cooperating with Li Dachao), 34 The 36th "One Man's Martial Arts" (cooperating with Donnie Yen, Yuan Bin, and Yan Hua), the 36th "Operation Mekong".
Dong Wei never designs actions just for the sake of fighting. He considers the plot of the movie more and designs around the development of the story.
Dong Wei came from Fenjuhua School back then and got started early. He was also Senior Brother Lin Zhengying and also spent time in Hongjiaban.
He is a low-key person. He always likes to immerse himself in work and does not talk much. In fact, he has also trained many apprentices, such as Qin Pengfei, who directed the "Northeast Police Story" series.
03. Best Supporting Actor: David Chiang
As early as 1970, David Chiang won the Best Actor trophy for "Revenge" and was the first Best Actor at the Asian Film Festival in Hong Kong.
once again won the performance award after 54 years, which is truly deserved.
It has been 54 years since he became Best Actor and Best Actor, but he has been in the industry for 72 years. As he said: movies have given me everything. If there is a next life, I will still be a filmmaker. When
gave his acceptance speech, he thanked his wife Li Linlin. This year is their 50th wedding anniversary and he wanted to give the trophy to his wife.
then teased his younger brother. He and his eldest brother Qin Pei, both had younger brother Er Dongsheng as director or producer, won the Best Supporting Actor, and one was crazy and the other was stupid.
In addition, he would like to thank the people in front and behind the scenes of "Under the Sun", but most importantly, he would like to thank his mentor Chang Cheh. Every time he would say that without his mentor, director Chang Cheh, there would be no David Chiang.
finally thanked me in Mandarin: Director, thank you. This is Azun Jiang David who values love and justice so much.
04. Lifetime Achievement Award: Sammo Hung
When I first guessed who would present the award to Big Brother Sammo Hung, I thought of Jackie Chan and the members of the Seven Little Fortunes.
But I never expected that it would be Sylvia Chang, and the CP of "Eight Liang Gold" would have a follow-up.
As Sylvia Chang said, in the eyes of others, Sammo Hung is an action director and a loyal big brother.
But she saw another side. Not only were her dancing and cooking skills superb, she was also very humorous, gentle and shy.
Sammo Hung became famous in action movies, but his acting skills are often overlooked. In "Eight Liangs of Gold", his performance was delicate, real and touching. I still remember the scene where he sends his lover to get married and chases the boat.
As soon as Sammo Hung appeared from the backstage, he asked everyone to sit down and show off his true qualities as a big brother.
first said that he has been in the industry for 60 years and has many noble people to help him, including producer Chen Peihua, screenwriter Huang Bingyao (Scissor Kicks) and director Situ Zhuohan.
then thanked his ex-wife Cao Enyu and his current wife Gao Lihong. The former gave birth to 4 children for him, and the latter took care of him for decades.
At the same time, he also mentioned his regrets, such as winning the Lifetime Achievement Award, Best Actor, Best Action Design Award and other awards.
But it seems that there is still a lack of "Best Director". He bluntly said that he will continue to make movies. If he can get the best, he will be happy to be shortlisted if he can't get it.
05, Tony Leung Chiu Wai has six Best Actor Awards
I thought that Wai Tsai would not be given the Academy Award this year. After all, the Academy Award does not mean much to him now.
has already won the Best Actor five times with "Chungking Express", "Happy Together", "In the Mood for Love", "Infernal Affairs" and "2046".
5 times and 6 times, the difference is not big, and no one has broken his current record.
"Goldfinger" may not be called a good movie, but Tony Leung's performance is worthy of praise. He performed the character's arrogance and madness in a very layered way.
It's just a pity that Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua met Wei Chai. I can only say that they lost unfairly. After all, even Stephen Chow, Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai, etc. have lost to him.
Actually, it has been 19 years since Wai Tsai last won the Academy Award. There is nothing wrong with him winning the award this time.
There is no doubt about Tony Leung’s excellence. His wife Carina Lau described him as a great actor. Wai Tsai immediately became anxious and said that it is not great, but a good actor is OK.
html There were many touching speeches at the 42nd Academy Awards, such as Best Supporting Actress Liang Yongting, who thanked her mentor Liao Qizhi.
Liang Yongting has been in the industry for many years and encountered difficulties in life. It was Liao Qizhi who gave her cash to continue pursuing her dreams.
79-year-old Teddy Robin is in good condition and won another film music award.
Although he is short in height, he is a big shot in the film industry. He promoted the development of the new wave in the early days and later became one of the Seven Eccentrics of New Art City. He is a writer, director, and film scorer, and can be called an all-rounder in film.
There are also funny parts. For example, when Louis Koo and Anita Yuen appeared, they said they were Liu Qingyun and arranged after-sales service for "New Love". Was it your idea for Er Dongsheng?
During the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, during the entire awards ceremony, what talked about the most was "Come on Hong Kong Films".
The decline of Hong Kong movies did not happen in a day or two, but Hong Kong filmmakers have been persevering. In the past two years, there have been excellent low-cost works such as "Under the Day" and "Diary of a Youth".
There are also high-grossing movies such as "Vicious Tongue", "Anita Mui" and "Food Drama".
Hong Kong movies have always existed, but I have to say that the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards is getting smaller and smaller, and the gold content of best actors and actresses is also getting lower and lower.
won three gold medals that year, but Taiwan Province lost its horse. The Hong Kong Film Awards have been a small circle for the past 20 years, but the Golden Rooster Awards have come from behind and are increasingly valued.
By the way, are you satisfied with this Academy Awards? (Written by: Eleven)
