Chapter 82 Ceremony Ten

Next was awarded the Best Action Design Award, with the award presenters Guan Dexing and Shi Jian.

In 1949, director Hu Peng filmed the first Hong Kong film "The Legend of Huang Feihong" with the legendary martial artist Huang Feihong as the theme. In which Guan Dexing played Huang Feihong and Shi Jian played the villain, which was very popular. In the decades since then, the two have collaborated on dozens of Huang Feihong's series of films, one became the screen spokesperson of Huang Feihong and the other became the "brutal Jian".

Guan Dexing has acted in more than 100 movies, among which many of them are Huang Feihong, and Shi Jian's acting path is wider and has created many popular characters, including Mr. Han who fought with Bruce Lee in "The Dragon and Tiger Fight" and Tian Canjiao in "The Palm of Tathagata". In 1978, he played the Golden Lion King in the H-TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was deeply loved by Jin Yong. He personally wrote the four big words "The Stone is As Much as a Stone" to give him as a commemoration.

These two are well-known kung fu stars in Hong Kong, so they immediately attracted the attention of the audience as soon as they appeared.

"Good evening everyone, I am Guan Dexing."

"I am Shi Jian." After Shi Jian introduced himself, he added: "The traitor has his own tricks. The traitor has his own tricks.

There was a loud applause on the stage. Shi Jian had just shot an advertisement for Liqueur Mint. The line "The traitor has his own tricks" was popular all over Hong Kong and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The award we will award tonight is the best action design." Guan Dexing was nearly 70 years old. He said slowly: "When making movies, action design is very important. If you don't do it well, something will easily happen. The villain is tough. I heard that you were filming with Bruce Lee, but because the action design was not done well, he accidentally knocked him out, right?"

"That's nothing, that's a rumor. Bruce Lee's kung fu is so good. How could I knock him out?" Shi Jian denied it and explained: "It was like this at that time. When I was filming "Dragon and Tiger Fight", I was already in my sixties and was not as good as before. After several actions, I didn't do it well. Bruce Lee personally demonstrated it to me. While he was talking, he gestured, and then asked me to try it. The drama was filmed on the island. It was very windy, I couldn't hear clearly and had no communication. Before he was ready, I punched him, but accidentally hit him in the face. Then I lay down and rested for dozens of minutes. I didn't dizzy, just rested."

Although Bruce Lee has passed away for six or seven years, his charm remains unabated. This joke makes the guests with Hong Kong audiences listen with relish and a dispersed atmosphere finally condensed.

"Oh, so that's it." Guan Dexing sighed and said, "Kung Fu is our populist in China, and Kung Fu movies are also a type of movie that we only have in China. Therefore, action design is very important. It not only needs to be played well, but also needs to be played safely."

"Yes, so the Academy Awards specially set up this Best Action Design Award to encourage the hard work of action guidance." Shi Jian said: "Let's take a look at what excellent action designs were there last year."

“The first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Action Designer, the finalists include:

Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Lin Shirong》…

Yuan Kui, Yuan Zhenwei, Yuan Xinyi, Qian Yuesheng, "Drunk Fist of the North and South"...

Sammo Hung, "The Miscellaneous Boy"...

Liu Jialiang, "Crazy Monkey"...

Liu Jialiang, "Who is the bad head"..."

All five shortlisted movies were from Hong Kong, and local guests were proud and applauded.

There are no kung fu films or martial arts films in the mainland, so Wang Yang naturally doesn’t care about the award. He just asked: “Why did one person be shortlisted for two movies?”

"Liu Jialiang is the authentic successor of the Southern School Shaolin Kung Fu and one of the best action design masters in Hong Kong." Chen Chong gave him literacy and said: "So many movies ask him to do action design. Last year, he did several movies very well, and these two movies were just the best ones."

"Two movies are shortlisted at the same time, and votes will be taken away. If you don't win the award, it would be a pity."

While the two were talking, Guan Dexing smiled and announced the winner: "Aliang, congratulations, the best action design of the first Hong Kong Film Awards, "Crazy Monkey"."

"It seems that the two movies are shortlisted and won awards, which really deserves its reputation." Wang Yang nodded and said, "What the award presenter said just now is that Kung Fu is part of Chinese traditional culture. I see that the mainland can also make some such movies."

"If Beijing Film Studio is interested, you can send someone to Hong Kong to learn from the scriptures." Chen Chong said with a smile: "I dare not guarantee anything else, but the action design is the best in the world, and it is better than Hollywood.

"There are many martial arts schools in the mainland and there are also martial arts masters." Wang Yang said disapprovingly: "I'll go back to study with them."

"There is a big difference between action design and martial arts. It is not a simple job. Hong Kong has been exploring for decades before it can achieve results. It is better to come to train and improve quickly."

Wang Yang nodded, not saying anything.

Liu Jialiang is not tall, but because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, the movements and stillness give people a strange illusion, as if a sports car filled with gas can explode at any time. After he came on stage, he first greeted the two old seniors respectfully, and then received the trophy and began to speak.

"I can't speak, it's okay to beat me. My father Liu Zhan is the successor of Hongquan. His master Lin Shirong, Lin Shirong's master, is Huang Feihong, who is familiar to everyone. I am the fourth generation of Huang Feihong. They gave me a legacy, and this legacy is Kung Fu."

I am very grateful to Master Guan and Uncle Jian for presenting me with awards tonight, because without them, I couldn't get into this industry. I only started filming in 1950, filming "The Legend of Huang Feihong". At that time, I made kung fu films, and there were no substitutes. As long as I could really play, because I knew kung fu, Uncle Jian said: Oh, handsome, follow me to be my maid in the future. Director Hu Peng, who is the director of "The Legend of Huang Feihong", said: OK, someone is a maid, come on. In this way, I entered the industry and filmed more than 70 films of Huang Feihong. It was so hard that I filmed at that time. Why? Because when fighting, it was all true. Master Guan didn't hold back, and Uncle Jian didn't hold back, they were fist-to-handed. They were only in their thirties at that time, and they were in good health and had real kung fu. It hurts when they hit the body. No martial artist dared to do it. Then I went on, and after being used to the fight, it didn't hurt anymore."

There was applause from the audience, and he praised his professionalism.

"It's really hard to make kung fu movies. I often have to get hurt. I have encountered broken hands and feet, but I don't regret it. I will continue to film. Why? Because I want to promote kung fu, we must keep the traditional Chinese kung fu ourselves and pass it on to our own people. Nowadays, many young people do not practice kung fu, go to practice karate, practice taekwondo, and learn from foreigners. It's so embarrassing. I hope that after watching kung fu movies, someone says that they can beat well and play wonderfully, and then learn from our Chinese kung fu."

"Although my speech was a little confused, I was a person with ideas." Wang Yang actually applauded, which was the first time since the award ceremony. He patted twice symbolically, and after the applause was over, he said: "We have many martial arts schools in Beijing. I will look back and see if there are any good seedlings and send them to Hong Kong to see.

"That's good." Chen Chong said with a smile: "I'll let you know when the time comes, I'll make arrangements."

"Ivau, do you think?" After the two hosts appeared again, Zhang Aijia said with a grievance, "It doesn't seem to matter whether we have us at this award ceremony?"

"Indeed, I feel that my presence is very weak, just passing the formalities." He Shouxin also smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, who is too dazzling? Look, there are great painters who are famous all over the world, wealthy rich, and old seniors who are as good as their works. We both have no reputation, no money, and no qualifications. How can we compare with them?"

"That's right." Zhang Aijia said depressed, "Before coming to the award ceremony, I thought I was the protagonist tonight, but now I realize that I was a supporting role."

"At least tonight, you and me are not the only ones who play supporting roles." He Shouxin made a gesture and said, "Let's see who is the best supporting role tonight."

"Mr. Cao Dahua and Mr. Chen Qiang are invited to present us with the Best Supporting Actor Award for the Academy Awards."

Cao Dahua, known as Uncle Da, entered the industry at the age of 15 and made nearly 0 RU movies. He is known as the "iron man in the film industry". He plays the protagonist and supporting roles. Because he often plays the detective in Cantonese movies in the 1950s and 1960s, he is often called "Inspector Cao". The most familiar character for Hong Kong movie fans should be his detective in the "Five Fortune Stars" series.

Ge Cunzhuang and Ge You's father are known for their good at playing negative roles such as traitors, Japanese officers, landlords, gangsters, etc. The Japanese Captain Kameda in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and the Chief of Staff in "The Battle of the South and the North" are all well-known screen images in the mainland.

Chen Chong invited the award presenter to only focus on the invitation of the best and most famous person, and strive to hold the first Academy Awards Ceremony with a star-studded momentum and flawless work. It will still make movie fans talk about it decades later and be amazed by it. However, there are not only political obstacles, but also language obstacles. If you deliberately pursue historical significance, you will naturally sacrifice the award presentation atmosphere on site. Cao Dahua and Ge Cunzhuang, one does not speak Mandarin and the other does not know Cantonese, and they cannot interact during the award presentation, so they have to say a few scenes and then put them in the short film.

“The first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actor, the finalists include:

Xu Shaoqiang, "Crazy Calamity"...

Zhang Guoqiang, "Pointing to the Bingbing"...

Chen Peisi, "Look at this family"...

Sun Yue, "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain"...

Tian Feng, "Legend of the Mountains"..."

Wang Yang was confident about this award and said, "Although Chen Peisi has not acted in several dramas, he has a good level of ability with Chen Qiang's advice and has taught him step by step. His role in the movie is equivalent to most of the protagonists. He should definitely win this award."

However, the award results disappointed him - "The winner of the Best Supporting Actor at the First Hong Kong Film Awards was Xu Shaoqiang, "Crazy Job".

"Why?"

"Old Wang, don't be too greedy, you want to win all the awards." Chen Chong explained with a smile: "China has a vast territory, and the cultures of the north and the south are very different. Interesting jokes from the north and the south will turn into inexplicable farces when they arrive in the south. Two-thirds of the jury are from southerners. There is nothing we can do if we can't appreciate "Look at this Family".

"This review system is unfair, you have to change it."

"There is no absolute fairness in this world." Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "In ancient times, even the emperors could not handle the dispute between the north and the south. I was a little businessman, so I was even more powerless. Your request is too hard for people to do anything.
