Reveal the deep human touch of Hong Kong movies

As a commendation award given by Hong Kong film professionals to Hong Kong filmmakers in the past year, the Golden Awards have always adhered to the tradition of mutual encouragement and support, and have a strong human touch.

Last night, the Academy Awards first paid tribute to the filmmakers who died in 2018, including Jin Yong, Lan Jieying, Lin Lingdong and Ji Chunhua, who came from various positions in the film industry.

Andy Lau made an opening speech on the stage, hoping that the vitality of Hong Kong films would last forever, and at the same time led to the song and dance performance "Blast", which is also the theme song of Stephen Chow’s "New king of comedy".

Subsequently, Daniel Wu, Feng Delun, Nicholas Tse and Li Canchen, starring in "New Special Police Man", came to the stage as the best visual effects award winners. This year is the 20th anniversary of the release of "The New Special Police Man", and the four people once again appeared together, which triggered a wave of Hong Kong film memories. Similarly, Ekin Cheng’s and Jordan chan’s combined performances are also full of Hong Kong film feelings.

There is a "professional spirit award" for the Golden Awards. Last year, it was awarded to Yang Ronglian and Jackie Chan, who have been in charge of tea for more than 30 years in the crew. The scene was very touching.

This year’s "Professional Spirit Award" was given to Liu Yun, a martial artist of the Dragon and Tiger. This is also the first time in history that a martial artist of the Dragon and Tiger has won the Golden Award.

"Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master" is a special type of work in Hong Kong movies, which refers to martial arts masters who specialize in filming. They practice martial arts and play thugs and minions in movies. It is common for them to be beaten and injured.

Liu Yun is 70 years old. In 1968, he joined the film circle as a dragon and tiger martial artist. He is the most important dragon and tiger martial artist in the history of Hong Kong movies. He worked with Jackie Chan and other kung fu stars and suffered numerous injuries. In the 1970s, humorous kung fu films were hot, and Liu Yun developed in front of the curtain with the stage name of "Fish Head Yun". In the 1990s, he returned to his original post as a Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, and has been doing so ever since.

Last night, Liu Yun expressed the hardships of doing this job at the backstage meeting of the winners. When he was a dragon and tiger martial artist for the first time, he knocked his head on the ground and fainted. He woke up and continued filming.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award went to Xie Xian. Xie Xian, the 83-year-old father of Nicholas Tse, is the witness of Hong Kong entertainment circle for half a century. He was called "the fourth brother" by his peers because he ranked fourth at home, and starred in the movies "The Condor Heroes" and "The True Color of Heroes". When Xie Xian won the prize, the audience stood up and applauded him.

He said on the stage, "I am old. I have been in this business for more than 60 years. I am very happy to see you again. I hope everyone will be happy and healthy. I hope that I will shoot more good plays in the future and show them to you. "

"Warriors" won 7 awards.

Become the biggest winner

"Warriors" won a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office in 2018 and was nominated for 17 Academy Awards, setting the best nomination record in the history of Academy Awards.

In the end, The Warriors won seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best production designer and Best Fashion Design, and won 7 out of 17 awards, becoming the biggest winner of the night.

Yu Dong, the producer of "Warriors", said that he and Zhuang Wenqiang talked about the idea of "Warriors" when they collaborated on the first "Eavesdropping Storm", which lasted for 13 years. The original story outline was in 2006, and it took more than ten years to temper this story.

Zhuang Wenqiang himself won two awards, Best Director and Best Screenplay, at the Academy Awards last night. He was shortlisted for best director four times and won the first prize. He thanked his wife on the stage, "because she always thought my film was a success!" "

Operation Red Sea, who received eight nominations, finally won only three technical awards: Best Action Guidance, Best Visual Effect and Best Sound Effect.

Two award-winning films

It’s all about marginal people

This year, several films reflecting the theme of marginalized people won performance awards at the Academy Awards.

Fallen Man tells the story of two little people in Hong Kong.

Liang Changrong, a middle-aged man, was separated by injuries, and the young Filipino maid had to become a maid because of reality. The unexpected meeting of two strangers taught them how to face the four seasons of life.

Chen Xiaojuan, the director of Fallen Man, is also the winner of the best new director.

Although it is a work directed by a newcomer, The Fallen Man has a high degree of completion. It takes the daily life of the little people as the starting point and substitutes the audience’s emotions with daily warm pictures. It is a typical "little movie".

The film star said on the stage: "I am honored to receive this award from Louis Koo. It turns out that my acting is still very good. I want to thank the director Xiao Juan for her kindness and talent. She treated me like a child at the scene and thanked the producer Chen Guo. Without him, the play would not have been possible. Thanks to my boss for his financial support, so that I can shoot this play without receiving money. "

The best actress was won by Zeng Mei Hui Zi, who played "Sanfu". In her acceptance speech, she thanked Leslie Cheung. "In my heart, my brother gave me great encouragement, and I learned from him what’ the drama is bigger than the sky’."

Kara Wai won the Best Supporting Actress Award for Trish, which is the second time that she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Academy Awards, and it is also her fifth personal Academy Award.

Sister Hong said on the stage: "It can be said that I am an actor who supports the new director most in Hong Kong. There must be young people in Hong Kong movies. It doesn’t matter how much money an old man like me earns. If Hong Kong movies can blossom, I feel so happy because I am honored to participate."

"Trish" also contributed a best supporting actor, Foo Wa Yuen, who was nominated for the Academy Award for the first time.

He said excitedly: "I am a native of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong movies have accompanied me to grow up. I have witnessed Hong Kong movies shine, and I want to be an actor because of Hong Kong movies. Even if I have no achievements, I have persisted silently for many years. Thanks to the boss Louis Koo, it is not easy to find investment in this subject. " (Lu Fang)
