The addition of "Robber League" and "BJ Meet Seattle" can only be said to add a glimmer to this year's already bleak shortlist, but overall, it still cannot reproduce the style of the golden age of Hong Kong movies.

When the media got the shortlist for this year, they said it was "a taller among the short guys."

But for the ownership of Best Picture and Best Director, the media and netizens almost fell to "The League of Thieves":

Data from Weibo movies show that as of the end of the award ceremony, more than 200,000 netizens made predictions and votes for this year's Academy Awards ceremony.

More than 85% of netizens believe that "The Thieves" will win two awards for Best Picture and Best Director without any suspense.

"The quality of the nominated movies this year is not good overall. The entry of "The Thieves Alliance" is simply a dimensional reduction blow to them."

"The Chill War is average, and the box office and reputation are not very good. Winning 12 nominations is more like the dying struggle of the Academy Awards to protect Hong Kong films."

Cheng Yu'an entered the venue.

It can be seen that this year's Film Awards are so shabby. The venue is well-designed, the main stage is not big, and the seats below are compact and cramped.

Cheng Yu'an and the crew of "Robber League" sat in the second row directly opposite the main stage.

Cheng Yuan was in a very calm mood. Except for his debut in 2003, he was disappointed because of the Golden Rooster - that time he really thought that his arrival could change something.

After that, he did not expect any domestic film awards.

In the past ten years, he won two Venices, one golden ball, one Oscars and countless union awards, and had long lost his desire for the three Chinese gold medals.

This time he came, he was to sell the face of Hong Kong partners - Yinhuang, Anle, Hua Ge and others, and hoped that his arrival would win one or two awards for the actors.

They need awards to open the way for themselves.

Cheng Yuan just sat down and chatted with Brother Hua next to him. Brother Hua talked about the "Horror Live" that he was still filming, and said bluntly that the pressure was huge:

"I have never acted in such a scene. In the past, there were men and women who worked with me, but it was very difficult for me to perform almost all the scenes in "Horror Live" alone."

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Hua, you have been acting for decades. It's not a difficult drama. I'm embarrassed to invite you."

Brother Hua took this flattery and laughed: "This drama is very satisfying to act. If you have such a good script in the future, I will come to me."

"This kind of drama with the protagonist from beginning to end is a test of the screenwriter's skills. When our entire screenwriter studio writes this drama, we call our literary boss inhumane while writing it."

Brother Hua laughed after hearing this, and Cheng Yuan continued, "If you don't know how to do this, you will get another Best Actor trophy for you."

"Then I'll lend you a good word." Brother Hua's acting skills have been questioned since his debut. Although he has won three Best Actor Awards and two Best Actor Awards, many viewers still say that he is too arrogant in acting - he will deliberately find the camera to make himself look handsome.

So Brother Hua still likes the award very much.

The two of them said a few words, and the lights on the scene dimmed and the award ceremony officially began.

The opening performance is very novel, using stage performances to string together the six best films nominated for this year.

Especially in the first show, Qian Jiale performed "The Rider". After getting off the car, he said to the audience: "You can turn even if you have such a narrow curve. There must be a way out for Hong Kong movies! As long as we keep our heads at 8,000 turns and add oil, it will definitely work!"

The traffic police said that he had parked illegally and wanted to tow away. Qian Jiale chased the traffic police and said, "We are making movies, and I have applied for it. Asir, please support Hong Kong movies."

The two stepped down.

Cheng Yu'an frowned when he watched it off the stage. Liu Dehua clearly felt his emotions and explained with a wry smile: "There is no way, many people in Hong Kong movies can't eat."

After six movies were played, the broadcaster invited the hosts of tonight's conference: Zeng Zhiwei, Zheng Zhongji, Lin Jiadong, and Lin Xiaofeng.

The first thing that was opened was the Best New Actor and Best New Director.

"The Rogue Alliance" did not nominate these two awards, but Xue Xiaolu of "BJ Meets Seattle" nominated for Best New Director.

Let’s start a new actor and award it to Xu Jiajie in "Cold War". This big brother is 66!

Set a new age record for the best new actor.

It is worth mentioning that he plays the role of a senior executive of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in "Cold War", and he was previously the deputy director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption!

What is this?

Play your true self? Play yourself?

Nothing like this.

Then there is the best new director. Perhaps in order to block the public, Du Wenze introduced the selection rules for the best new director on stage: co-directorship is not included in the selection.

Otherwise, "Cold War" might even win the best new director.

Then, another award presenter Peng Haoxiang joked about Cheng Yu'an: "Fortunately, director Cheng Yu'an, 31, debuted early, otherwise he would have been elected as the best new director, and everyone would have no choice but to play. Where is Director Cheng?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his hand in the audience.

"This is the first time Director Cheng has attended the Film Awards since the Oscar. Welcome to the Academy Awards. He won the Academy Awards at the age of 30, the pride of Chinese people." He took the lead in applause.

The scene was filled with warm applause.

The two on the stage made jokes and talked about the role of the new director, and then the prize was drawn.

"The one who won the best new director is Zhou Xianyang, "The Great Chase". Congratulations."

The best screenwriter behind, "The Thieves", was unfortunately rejected, and the trophy was given to "Cold War".

As soon as this award was released, there was a sudden burst of doubts on the Internet. "The League of Thieves" almost provides a perfect template for an action movie. The laughs, bursts and turning points tightly grasp the audience's emotions. Such a story actually lost to "Cold War".

"Does the judges at the Academy Awards have basic aesthetics? The story of "Cold War" cannot be considered excellent even in Hong Kong films. It is even worse than "The Thieves". Can you win the award in this way?"

The commenter of Weibo movie had to say: "The story of "The Thieves" may be too strict and did not surprise the judges."

The subsequent costume design and art design had nothing to do with the two remote films. Wang Sunjing came on stage to award the Professional Spirit Award. This year's Golden Image Award paid tribute to film films, and the Professional Spirit Award was awarded to two film printing workers.

There is nothing to say, no director doesn't like film.

When he arrived at the Best Supporting Actor, Brother Hu sat upright.

He has won the Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor for "The League of Thieves". If he can win the Best Supporting Actor for the Academy Awards, it will be a beautiful thing to add to the cake.

But unfortunately, the supporting actor was taken away by the controversial "Vulgar Comedy".

At this point, "Vulgar Comedy" won two awards for Best Supporting Actor and Female.

This film caused great controversy on both sides of the Taiwan Strait at that time. The film tells the story of Hong Kong Island film producers cheating mainland bosses into investing in filming salty and wet films.

In the film, the director wants to smear the mainland, and even proudly talks about Hong Kong-style vulgarity and swearing into "local culture".

From beginning to end, it reveals the superiority of Hong Kong Island to the mainland.

"Stigmatizing the image of mainlanders with extremely humiliating techniques is an extremely narrow way of spiritual victory."

"He (director) is very clear that belittles mainlanders the politically correct effect on Hong Kong Island, which can make Hong Kong people feel good about themselves, but it also invisibly shows the narrowest, most speculative and hypocritical side of Hong Kong Island society. "Vulgar Comedy" is vulgar and rough. At present, the local creators and audiences of Hong Kong Island have taken vulgarity for granted, and even beautify it into local characteristics with confidence. This vicious cycle of cultural consumption that is inverted black and white and has no ability to reflect can really make people feel sad."

Cheng Yuan was disgusted by the two awards for the supporting roles of the male and female actors.

The subsequent Best Editing Award was given to "The Thieves" without any surprise:

"The best editing award is Zhou Ying, "The Thieves Alliance."

Zhou Ying is the chief editor of China Film. Cheng Yuan has worked with her for many years. This award is also her first heavyweight award.

"Thank you, thank you for the affirmation of the judges of the Golden Image Awards. Yu'an and I have worked with you for many years. Thank you Director Cheng for your affirmation of my editing skills." Zhou Ying was very excited and didn't know what to say, "Thank you everyone, thank you."

After saying that, he stepped down.

Jackie Chan came on stage to present the best cross-strait movie. Jackie Chan was very clever in bilingual broadcasting, sometimes in Mandarin and sometimes in Cantonese, and the award was awarded to "1942".

It was led by Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Guoli and Xu Fan.

Then the Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded, which undoubtedly gave to Hong Kong Island movie godfather Wu Siyuan.

The subsequent action design gives the "Twelve Zodiacs".

After presenting this award, Cheng Yuan left his seat and went to the backstage to prepare. He wanted to present the best actress behind him.

But there is also a Best Director Award in front, which was awarded by Aaron Kwok.

"The best director at the 32nd Hong Kong Academy Awards is "Cold War", Liang Yueming, and Lu Jianqing."

The release of this award has caused more controversy than the best screenwriter.

Before the lottery draw, no one suspected that "The Rogue" would win the best director.

"This..." The commenters in the live broadcast room were all speechless, "Haha."

The simultaneous Cantonese translation of 1905 Movie Network was paused for a long time, and they did not expect "The Thieves Alliance" to lose to "Cold War".

Liang Yueming, Lu Jianqing is a newcomer!

"Chit War" is their first film, and the Oscar Best Director lost to two newcomers!

Cheng Yu'an sat back downstairs and thought to himself: "I'm so stupid."

No wonder Chen Jiashang asked herself to award the Best Actress.

Now he has enough reason to suspect that Chen Jiashang is using himself and Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei also nominated for the Best Actress. Before the awards, the media was hyping up.

Liu Yifei was shortlisted and Cheng Yu'an presented the award. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Golden Star Award was speculating on the relationship between the two.

If the actress's queen really gives Liu Yifei, Cheng Yu'an will definitely have a big rating when presenting awards to Liu Yifei. Cheng Yu'an doesn't mind hyping up like the Academy Awards, but he still paid the wrong payment.

The Golden Star Award, ha.

There are two grand prizes left behind, and the Best Actor was given to Liang Jiahui, and the Best Picture was given to "Cold War".
