Chapter 76 Ceremony Four

After reading the shortlist, Wang Yang said directly before Lin Fengmian announced the final winner: "Xiao Shen, you should ask Master Liu Haisu to present Han Shangyi to award Han Shangyi. He once attended a further study class at the Shanghai American College and was considered Liu Haisu's student."

Shanghai Art College, namely Shanghai Art College, was founded in Shanghai when Liu Haisu was 17 years old. It is China's first modern art school and the first co-educational school in China. Famous painters such as Pan Tianshou, Zhang Daqian, and Huang Binhong were all teachers of this school.

"Old Wang, you can't invite the master if you want to invite him. Do you think I am the emperor, and whoever you want to come will come?" Chen Chong smiled bitterly and looked at him and said, "Besides, who the winner is, has not been announced yet."

Wang Yang snorted and said firmly: "If Old Man Han can't win this award, you might as well stop doing it with your Golden Captain Award."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fengmian on the stage announced the winner, and it was indeed Han Shangyi.

Among the five candidates for Best Art Design, the one that is most familiar to later movie fans is naturally Zhang Shuping, but in 19RU, he was just a fledgling boy. At this time, the oldest and most accomplished art design in the entire Chinese film industry was Han Shangyi.

Han Shangyi was in his teens and worked in advertising art design in Shanghai. He studied in a further course held by the Shanghai Art College. He has a profound artistic foundation and is famous for his comics and printmaking. He entered the film industry in the early 1940s and has been engaged in film art for a long time. In 1947, Han Shangyi designed the set for the classic movie "A River of Spring Flowing Eastward". After the film was released, "A whole city strives to see a river of spring" was released for three consecutive months. More than 700,000 people in Shanghai alone have watched it, which has caused a sensation.

After the 1950s, he also designed art for classic films such as "Nie Er", Lin Zexu", and "Dry Trees Come to Spring". He is now a dual member of the China Artists Association and the China Dramatists Association, and is also the chief artist of Shanghai Film Studio.

The movie "From a Slave to a General" has a very long time and space span. From 1915 to 1948, from Yunnan to Guangdong, from Guangdong to northern Shaanxi, from northern Shaanxi to Jiangbei, the task of setting artwork was extremely heavy.

Moreover, during the filming, the two military forces were mobilized to participate in the performance. The scene was huge and magnificent. In this case, it was especially challenging for the art designer's ability, because in the large scene, each picture contains a lot of details. If the design is not good, the audience will lose sight of one thing and be dazzled and don't know where to look.

"From a Slave to a General" lasts for three hours, from beginning to end, with a highly unified artistic style, and the set and clothing take into account both the authenticity and artistic beauty. The design of war scenes of thousands of troops is appropriately designed with prominent emphasis, and a profound artistic foundation. It is fully expressed. Therefore, Wang Yang is full of confidence and insists that Han Shangyi won the award.

Compared with Han Shangyi's work, Zhang Shuping's art design in "Crazy Joe" can only be considered a pediatrics, because "Crazy Joe" is an urban film set on site and does not require a set. Just choose clothing and color matching that meets the art rules based on the plot needs and character personality, which is easy and comfortable.

The jury of the Academy Awards is mainly composed of directors and professional film critics. There are few art designs in Hong Kong and Taiwan filming because the director is a part-time job. The director has a vertical understanding of film knowledge, drama affairs, scripts, photography, art engineers, etc., and professional film critics have a horizontal understanding of film knowledge, and they must understand lens language, film history, art appreciation and so on.

Art design happens to be a knowledge that both sides know, so this Best Art Design Award is the least controversial of all awards. Han Shangyi's score is higher than the other four candidates' scores combined.

Han Shangyi was born in 1917 and is also an old man in his sixties at this time. He wore a Zhongshan suit and wide-brimmed glasses. After he went on stage, he took the trophy from Lin Wenzheng with his hands with great respect, shook hands with Lin Fengmian, and exchanged a few polite words before holding the trophy, standing in front of the microphone, saying: "I am very grateful to the jury for presenting this award to me. I am even more grateful to the organizing committee for asking Lin Fengmian and Lin Wenzheng, two masters of the Chinese art world, to present me with the award. Teacher Lin just said that he was flattered, but in fact I was flattered and frightened. My little achievements are not worth mentioning in front of them.

"Teacher Lin Fengmian is RU this year, and Teacher Lin Wenzheng is 78 years old this year, right? The two teachers are still writing and making great works. I am only young this year, and I will continue to work hard in the future, and do my best to do my best for Chinese films."

The audience was moved by his old horse's spirit and gave warm applause.

At this point, the award ceremony reached its first climax. Although art design is not familiar and valued by ordinary audiences, the award presenters are too famous, too heavy, and too unexpected.

When Lin Fengmian moved to Hong Kong in 1977, it caused a sensation in the city and was considered a grand event in the Hong Kong literary and artistic circles. In 1979, he held a personal art exhibition at the Oriental Museum in Paris at the invitation of the French government. The authoritative foreign media praised it and was widely reprinted by Hong Kong newspapers. Even ordinary citizens knew his name, let alone the guests attending the award ceremony. They were either engaged in film-related work or wealthy families. Both belong to groups that are more sensitive to art, and naturally they know Lin Fengmian's status better.

At this time, the TV station must have been interspersing the advertisement, but the scene was not suspended and the awards were still being presented.

"Thank you two old Mr. Lin for coming to present the award, and congratulations to Mr. Han Shangyi for winning the award." After He Shouxin finished speaking, he said to Zhang Aijia with emotion: "I remember that many martial arts novels and TV series have lines, which says: I have long been honored to be famous by my seniors and have never had the chance to know Jing. I am deeply honored to see you today. I am deeply honored to be the host today and meet the two masters."

"So too." Zhang Aijia smiled and nodded, and then said, "I see that the two masters are approachable and easy to talk to. Why not invite the award presenters for the next award as soon as possible, and then go to the backstage to find the two masters to ask for an autograph. If they are in a good mood and are willing to draw a painting for us, wouldn't they be rich?"

"Art is priceless, how can it be measured by money?" He Shouxin scolded her in a pretense manner, and then said with a very fast speech: "Please invite Mr. Huang Zhan and Mr. Zuo Hongyuan to award us the Best Original Movie Song Award. IvIa, go quickly."

Amid the burst of laughter, Huang Zhan and Zuo Hongyuan walked out.

"There are many people in the audience who know the two of them just now, right?" Huang Zhan stood in front of the stage, pointed his thumb back, and said, "When I see them in the future, remember to hide your wallet tightly. Don't show your whiteness. They are all tough characters who pluck their hair from the geese. Even Master Lin dares to take advantage of it."

The audience burst into hilariousness.

When the laughter stopped, Huang Zhan suddenly said, "Shen Cai Shen, do you still have money in your pocket?"

The audience burst into laughter again, Chen Chong looked at the camera and turned around, so he cooperated with a helpless and bitter smile.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." Huang Zhan clenched his fists, coughed, and then introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I'm Huang Zhan."

"I am Zuo Hongyuan."

"Brother Zuo is definitely qualified to present this award. "I'm not going home today", "I'm a cloud", "The moon is hazy and the bird is hazy," "The sea rhyme", "Thousands of words", anyway, many good and popular movie songs are all written by him." Huang Zhanyu laughed and said, "Where is I, I have written a movie song in my life. I forgot whether it was 67 or UR year. I wrote a song "Poppins" for Miss Xiao Fangfang's movie. No one has ever heard of it? Hehe, so I'm very embarrassed to be the award presenter. But Shen Cai God insisted on me. Everyone can ignore anyone in this world, but I can't ignore the God of Finance. I'm right?"

"Mr. Huang Zhan is too modest." Zuo Hongyuan is not as funny as Huang Zhan. After laughing and applause, he said seriously: "There is no distinction between film and television. Mr. Huang has given many TV series music and written many good songs. He is well-known in Hong Kong. It is worthy of his reputation for awarding this award."

"Okay, let's not praise each other. No matter how much we brag, Shen Caishen has no money in his pocket, so he won't add the appearance fee." Huang Zhan laughed and teased, and said, "We'd better give the award quickly. If it's delayed for a long time, the money might be deducted."

"Okay." Zuo Hongyuan raised his hand and said, "Let's take a look at the list of the best original movie songs tonight."

“The first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Original Movie Songs, the shortlisted ones include:

"Story of the Small Town", composed by Weng Qingxi, composed by Zhuang Nu, lyrics by Teresa Teng, from the film "Story of the Small Town"...

"Olive Tree", composed by Li Taixiang, composed by Sanmao, sung by Qi Yu, from the film "Huanyan"...

"I Love You, China", composed by Zheng Qiufeng, lyrics by Qu Cong, sung by Ye Peiying, from the film "Abroad Nursing"...

"Pointing the Strike", composed by Teddy Robin, lyrics by Teddy Robin, sing by Teddy Robin, from the film "Pointing the Strike"...

"Velvet Flower", composed by Wang Ming, composed by Liu Guofu, and written by Tian Nong, and sung by Li Guyi, from the film "Little Flower""

After putting the shortlist, Chen Chong turned sideways and asked, "Old Wang, who would win the prize?"

"I can't say it. If I choose, I will definitely vote for "Velvet Flower". After all, it is a movie from our factory and it is also very nice." Wang Yang said with his hands on his chest: "But everyone has their own preferences for songs. If young people come to choose, they will definitely vote for Teresa Teng."

"Do you always know Teresa Teng?" Chen Chong was surprised and said, "Didn't the mainland say that it's not a mediocre voice?"

"I'm not those old men who are old and can't live up to the past." Wang Yang said disdainfully: "If you listen to gentle songs, you will be weak and your thoughts are corrupt. It's a joke. If that's the case, why did the Kuomintang bombard the planes and cannons? Just send a few girls to the battlefield with loudspeakers."

Chen Chong laughed for a while.

Huang Zhan opened the envelope and read the winner with Zuo Hongyuan: "The Best Original Movie Song of the First Hong Kong Film Awards, "Olive Tree", composer Li Taixiang, lyrics by Sanmao, and sings by Qi Yu."

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What kind of song is this?"
