Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 591 "The Sun Also Rises" - A Bargain! Jing Tianma is nowhere to be found?

"Has this award existed before?"

"It seems... I didn't notice that."

"Probably."

"Could it have been custom-made for her?"

"Oh, stop gossiping, why are you so nosy?"

"Hmph! Hong Kong is getting worse and worse."

This is definitely not a significant award.

But for Jing Tian, ​​winning an award is ultimately a good thing.

As for the comments from others, just pretend you didn't hear them.

Is it really possible to not hear it?

Jing Tian finally realized that the entertainment industry is not as simple as she thought, and that she probably still needs to work on her ability to withstand pressure.

Let's treat this as a good opportunity for trial.

However, Jing Tian never expected that her award was actually a transaction involving a quid pro quo.

But this exchange had little to do with her personally.

Ma Xun sat in his seat, looking somewhat lonely.

After all, such award ceremonies are highly anticipated.

Even if it's a beautiful female celebrity you're riding, you should still try to keep your distance.

Don't let anything big happen.

Ma Xun does love photography, but he doesn't want to be Teacher Chen.

Especially at this time, Mr. Chan's works have shocked the world and directly brought down the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

That said, Ma Xun has already succeeded in his deception, and he has already stirred up the Hong Kong Film Awards.

As for the final result...

In fact, Ma Xun knew very well that he was the big winner at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

It can only be "The Warlords"!
To be honest, this movie is good enough to win a Hong Kong Film Award, and Jet Li's performance is flawless.

The award is truly well-deserved.

but!

What Ma Xun said made things interesting.

There's a saying that goes: "If mud falls into your crotch, even if it's not shit, it'll still look like shit!"
Tell me, did "The Warlords" lose money or not?
Did we lose money?
So, does the Hong Kong Film Awards have this habit of frequently giving "supplementary awards" to big-budget films that are invested in by big names but lose money?

These things weren't done by me, Ma Xun, forcing you guys at the Hong Kong Film Awards to do them, right?
Ultimately, this was done by you guys, and you did it so obviously that no one can see through it now.

So, the moment Ma Xun said that, the situation became muddy!
As for what effect it will have... well, let's just stir things up first.

However, Ma Xun was being honest.

Regarding the films that competed with "Lust, Caution" this time.

"The Sun Also Rises" and "Getting Home" are also excellent films.

It's just as good as "Lust, Caution"!

Moreover, what was the reason that "Lust, Caution" was able to win awards in the original timeline?
We all know that there are still quite a few guys in Hong Kong who insist on going against the mainland!
In short, according to the previous rumor, Tang Wei has been banned in mainland China.

As a result, Tang Wei secured many advertising endorsements in Hong Kong.

right?
This award is actually the same, and many of these guys who are going against me are actually from the Hong Kong film and television industry, and some are even celebrities.

So-and-so is a famous director, right? He's been spouting nonsense at the Berlin Film Festival for years.

Such guys... well, they're definitely not an isolated case.

Ma Xun's actions this time were actually intended to give them a warning.

You've all become like this, the whole world knows how chaotic your circle is, so what are you still pretending for!
Of course, Ma Xun wouldn't say these subtexts; he simply used this warning to gain some more benefits for himself.

As for the fact that "Lust, Caution" ultimately won...

That completely proves that these guys are stubborn and inflexible.

Whatever happens in the future, don't blame me, Ma Xun.

In short, this is going to be a good show.

Ma Xun's mindset was definitely the most unique at this awards ceremony.

Others are definitely more concerned about who specifically receives the award.

There are some special features to this awards ceremony.

That is, the Best Actress and the Best Actor.

Well, at every film awards ceremony, these two awards are always the most eye-catching.

But this time it's really different.

Because there are many mainland actors nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress this time, and the competition is fierce!

"The Warlords" was a huge hit movie, and Jet Li was a veteran movie star who had been in Hong Kong for many years.

There were really no problems with this performance.

Looking at the status of the Best Actor contenders... Jet Li stands out from the crowd, far surpassing the others.

Interestingly, there was another nominee for Best Actor, Andy Lau.

The key point is that he was nominated for his role in the film "The Warlords"!

"The Warlords" received two Best Actor nominations, which is a rare occurrence in film history.

To be honest, the chances of Andy Lau being a candidate are significantly lower.

There were even rumors that this nomination was made in order to reduce Jet Li's chances of winning.

Those who know, know.

And then looking at the actresses...

Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Jingchu.

The inclusion of two mainland Chinese actresses in the nominations is quite significant.

Simply put, there are really hardly any people left in Hong Kong.

Siqin Gaowa starred in Xu Anhua's "The Postmodern Life of My Aunt".

Zhang Jingchu was nominated for her role in "Protégé," a film by Derek Yee.

Both of these films were made by renowned directors, so they come with a special aura at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Therefore, the chances of winning the award are indeed quite high.

As a result, many Hong Kong media outlets were already exclaiming in alarm before the awards ceremony that Hong Kong films were about to be conquered by mainlanders.

They have sharp tongues; everyone knows what they'll say.

But no matter what they say, it's useless.

That's just how Hong Kong cinema is.

So, the mindset of these people... especially Zhang Jingchu's mindset, is quite interesting.

At that banquet, Zhang Jingchu wanted to have a good time with Ma Xun!
This year's Best Actress award, hmph!

Zhang Jingchu has made up her mind to simply stay in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Comparatively speaking, the resources on the mainland are not as good as those here.

With Hong Kong's resources, at least there are films to be made.

Moreover, if she can win the Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards this time...

Steady!

Zhang Jingchu has received some information from various sources, and it seems that she has a very good chance of winning the Best Actress award.

In addition, there is another special point.

The Hong Kong film industry is really lacking in successors, but wouldn't this be an opportunity for Zhang Jingchu?
That's right, I'll do it!

Although the film industry here is declining, it doesn't matter, she will fill the void left by the lack of successors!
Actually, Zhang Jingchu can't be blamed for this idea, because many mainland actresses think the same way.

They might have a tough time in mainland China, but coming to Hong Kong might actually offer opportunities. The film and television industry here is indeed not doing so well, and it's really hard for young people to stand out; many young people are aware of this.

Look at the kind of people that Teacher Chen photographed.

A whole bunch of rich kids!
Yes, although they are all working in the film and television industry, they are all quite wealthy.

In addition, the film and television industry here pays really little, like TVB, right?

The actors on this TV station are really not as good as the employees in Hong Kong companies when it comes to acting.

If young people take on additional debt, such as mortgages or car loans, it will be even worse.

That's it!

Joining the film and television industry is tantamount to suicide.

A philosopher once said that the way out for young people in Hong Kong is... jail!
Of course, Zhang Jingchu was unaware at the moment that she was completely immersed in the joy of being about to be crowned empress.

And then... an award came!

"Best Supporting Actor... Andy Lau!..."

Wow! That's really something!

Andy Lau actually won this award!
It's important to know that the supporting actor awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards are highly prestigious.

Andy Lau's acting skills have always been criticized, but this is definitely a testament to his talent!

He was overjoyed.

And so...

Zhang Jingchu was even more excited, because what followed was...

"Best Actress... Siqin Gaowa!..."

Ah! What?!
Zhang Jingchu's heart was pounding at its limit when, unexpectedly, it wasn't her!
This this……

Has Zhang Jingchu's dream of filling the void of new talent in Hong Kong cinema been killed just like that?!

She was unwilling to accept it! She couldn't help but look towards Ma Xun again.

As Ma Xun clapped, he also sensed a gaze that seemed to belong to a female assassin.

Looking over there... what does it have to do with me!

But I can't say anything right now, so let's keep clapping.

He didn't care at all, but some people did.

"Ha! That slut didn't succeed! Haha..."

"Oh dear, you'd better be careful."

"What are we afraid of? Those paparazzi can't hear what we're saying. We're just happy for our teacher."

"Why are you so happy?"

"You should be happy! That little Zhang Ziyi was so arrogant and confident before, but now his face has turned green!"

"I didn't see her face turn green."

"I, I'm speaking up for you."

"No need for that."

Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi are acting very strangely now.

Seeing that Zhang Ziyi didn't win Best Actress, Bingbing was so happy, but now the situation is like this...

Hmph! Zhang Ziyi, what are you pretending for!
He must be very happy inside!

It must be said that Zhang Ziyi was indeed smiling inside.

After all, Zhang Jingchu has always been referred to by the media as the "mini Zhang Ziyi," and they do indeed look somewhat alike.

However, I heard that there is someone at the Central Academy of Drama who looks even more like him, but that guy got into an incident a few years ago and was beaten up by Teacher Zhang's son.

Selling sex appeal... serves her right!
Let's not talk about that slut anymore.

Right now... what Zhang Ziyi cares more about is how Zhang Jingchu looks towards Ma Xun.

In fact, not only her, but Jing Tian also noticed it.

Suddenly, Ma Xun became the focus of attention for several people.

But then...

"Best Actor... Jet Li!..."

Alright, the result is finally out, and the hearts of many Hong Kong filmmakers that were hanging in suspense can finally be put to rest.

and many more!

But it’s not over yet!
Although the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were won by mainland Chinese!

There are others too!

Yes, next up is the Asian Film Awards.

In fact, the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony has always been conducted in a randomized order.

However, some awards really should be given last.

Best Director, Best Picture, you know.

This year is actually pretty good; the order is normal.

And according to the schedule, this is where the Asian Film Awards will take place.

Ma Xun's previous remarks had already been circulating in the Hong Kong film industry.

Long Wu naturally hated it to the core, but this "Lust, Caution"...

In short, we can't let Ma Xun's movie take the credit!

Long Wu had been quite active before this.

But in reality, he had no idea that Qin Hong and Jia Yueting were also feeling extremely upset right now.

"Paradise Walk" won an award this time, but no matter how you look at it... it perfectly matches Ma Xun's statement!
They lost money at the box office, then compensated themselves with awards.

but!

"Paradise Walk" didn't win the big prize!

Now that it's all over, it's like we've gotten nothing at all.

Qin Hong was heartbroken, and Jia Yueting was even more heartbroken.

Now that Jia Yueting has paid the most money, isn't he the one who suffered the most injustice?
What kind of disciple did Wu Yusen recommend?!

Oh shit!

Jia Yueting and Qin Hong exchanged a glance and wondered... had they fallen into a trap?
It's important to understand that this "falling into a trap" doesn't refer to falling into Ma Xun's trap, but rather to Wu Yusen!
That old bastard is trying to fool us!
So, shouldn't we deal with this old bastard first?
Just then, the Asian Grand Prize was announced!

"Best Picture... The Sun Also Rises!"

Not "Return to One's Roots"?
So it's not a Ma Xun movie?

wrong!

This one is also by Ma Xun!

However, Eagle Emperor's side was also involved.

Long Wu was furious when he saw this result!
Jia Yueting and Qin Hong increasingly felt that they had fallen into a trap!

What about those female celebrities who were following Ma Xun before?

……

Ultimately, "The Warlords" was the biggest winner at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

But because of that previous statement.

If you lose money, you'll receive a reward or compensation.

This makes it seem like we didn't win even though we did.

However, the Hong Kong Film Awards still ended, and afterwards, Bingbing couldn't help but go to find Ma Xun.

And then... where did they go?
Some people didn't actually notice that Jing Tian had just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Asian Film Awards.

It's gone too...
