1565 [Long Testimonials]

Xia Tian was excitedly hugging everyone one by one, and then stepped onto the stage amid the warm applause of the audience.

"Mr. Xia, congratulations!" The award presenter handed the trophy to Xia Tian and congratulated him with a smile.

"Thank you" Xia Tian took the trophy over, and it felt heavy and really weighty. "Thank you for your kindness, I am really very happy to win this award today.

Everyone knows that I wrote scripts from the beginning. Unfortunately, I never won the award after writing so many scripts, which made me feel very sorry. Today I finally got what I wished, so I am so happy. I would like to say a few more words here, hoping that the organizing committee will not rush to knock me off the stage.”

He said with a smile, which made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. People who dared to knock him off the stage in Hong Kong were afraid that they would not be born. At the same time, everyone was inevitably curious and didn't know what he would say next.

I heard Xia Tian continue to say, "Script is the foundation of a play, the foundation of a movie, and its importance is endless. But as we all know, in the Hong Kong film industry, there has been a long-term phenomenon of indifference to scripts.

Many crews have no scripts before the filming of the movie begins. They have to rely on the screenwriter to create on the spot, writing one paragraph after another, and notes with lines are flying all over the sky, and they are also called "Flying Paper Boy".

For such films, even if they are lucky enough to become one or two movies because of the popularity of the movie market, it is not a long-term solution. I still hope that major companies and major producers can pay attention to the role of the script and do not commit to creating it freely. Otherwise, the people's eyes will be bright and they will vote with their feet at that time.

To pay attention to scripts, we must improve the treatment of screenwriters. The treatment of Hong Kong screenwriters is very low now, and even scripts created by well-known screenwriters can only be sold for a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.

The number of scripts written by the screenwriter in a year is limited, and he may only be able to write one or two movies a year. He earns only a few thousand yuan and cannot support his life at all. How can he continue to work in this job with peace of mind?

In Hollywood, the scripts of well-known screenwriters may be sold for millions of dollars, and the second-rate compensation is enough to support their lives. Moreover, in Hollywood, screenwriters can participate in the film sharing. A movie with excellent box office, with a post-production share, can even make the screenwriter live a worry-free life.

Therefore, in Hollywood, so many people are willing to engage in script creation, so many excellent scripts can be born, and Hollywood movies can win the love of so many people.

We Hong Kong filmmakers have always called ourselves Oriental Hollywood. I hope that all the bosses can also follow Hollywood, and from then on, pay attention to scripts and improve the treatment of screenwriters. Don’t want the horse to run and not eat grass.

I'm finished speaking, thank you everyone!"

After Xia Tian finished speaking, he bowed and walked off the stage.

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a while, and then they applauded him.

Some of the bosses looked quite embarrassed. They were the people named by Xia Tian who did not use scripts for filming. There was no script before filming, so the screenwriter asked to create on the spot. Because there was no good story for a while, they would shoot whatever they were popular.

Like before, zombie movies were popular, so they rushed to shoot zombie movies; now, kung fu movies are popular, and they are busy shooting kung fu movies. The script is completely made up and all elements are put into it, so it is shoddy and harsh.

Although they can make some money by following the trend, it is a damage to Hong Kong movies in the long run. Because it destroys the creative power of filmmakers and also tarnishes the eyes of the audience, so summer has no favoritism for these people, and it is naturally merciless when spraying.

When the screenwriters here heard Xia Tian say this, they all think he was right. Because Xia Tian said it was exactly what they wanted to say but dare not say.

"Mr. Xia, you are right. Thank you for speaking out for us!"

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your righteous words. I am really touched!"

"Mr. Xia, thank you for speaking our hearts!"

After Xia Tian stepped down, the screenwriters thanked him one after another.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Xia Tian smiled.

He knew that if he wanted to cheer up Hong Kong movies, he had to make it full of creativity, otherwise, it lacked both funds and channels, so how could it compete with American blockbusters?

This is like a master's competition, one is tall and strong, the other is thin and dry. If the weak want to win, they must be more agile and agile in order to avoid being caught and at the same time they can wait for an opportunity to fight back.

If you want to strengthen the creative power of Hong Kong movies, you must strengthen your attention to screenwriters. Improve their treatment so that more people can join the script creation. Only in this way can you have a steady stream of good scripts, make Hong Kong movies look good and exciting, and keep them attractive to the audience.

Otherwise, it would be like the mainland in the past life, with hundreds of movies made in a year, but the total box office was not as high as the combined box office of more than a dozen American blockbusters. If the mainland had not implemented a policy on American blockbusters and other measures such as domestic film protection, domestic films would have been defeated.

...

It is worth mentioning that as soon as the award presenter announced that the winner of the best screenwriter was Xiatian, the TVB cut the signal into advertisements.

After Xia Tian made a speech on the award, they cut the advertisement back. As a result, the audience did not see Xia Tian’s entire process of receiving the award on the stage and making the speech.

This scene naturally made the audience very dissatisfied and called to protest to Wireless. Because summer has a solid public opinion base in Hong Kong, Wireless's move has stabbed a hornet's nest.

However, Wireless finally wanted to cover it up in the name of a scheduling error. This irresponsible excuse caused a stir.

...

After the Best Screenwriter, it is the Best Newcomer Award.

The shortlisted include Lin Guobin in "Sequel to Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Xia Zhizhen in "Oriental Condor", Yang Ling's "The Legend of the Beautiful Girl", and Chen Songling's "The Ghostly Campus".

The final winner was Chen Songling in "The Ghost Campus".

Seeing her on stage, Xia Tian couldn't help but lit up his eyes.

Chen Songling was one of the well-known TVB actresses in her previous life. She was very popular in the 1990s. "Smiling at the Storm", "The Man in Heaven and Earth", "Marriage Story", etc., all received excellent ratings, and was also known as the "best screen couple" with Zheng Yijian.

Xia Tian liked this girl with short hair, beautiful and innocent smile in her previous life, but unfortunately she didn't meet her at first sight. She didn't expect to see her at the award ceremony today.

Seeing her a boy-headed, smiling shyly and a bit young, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

After the Best Newcomer Award, the Best Supporting Actress Award was awarded.

The shortlisted include Jin Yanling in "People's Heroes", Wu Jiali in "Dragon and Tiger Heroes", Gao Lihong in "Oriental Condor", and Ye Dexian in "Ghost Bride".

The final winner was Jin Yanling from "People's Heroes".

This is also an old actor. She debuted in Taiwan and has been in Hong Kong in the 1970s. She has excellent acting skills. She also won the best supporting actress last year, which shows her strength.

After the Best Supporting Actress was awarded, it was the Best Supporting Actor's turn.

Shortlisted include Liang Chaowei's "People's Heroes", Xu Ke's "The Last Victory", Zhou Xingchi's "Pillow Pioneer", Zhu Jiang's "Blooded Two Heroes", Huang Zihua's "Roamen Button", etc.

The final winner was Liang Chaowei's "People's Heroes". This was also his first time winning the Golden Star Award trophy and his performance was quite good.

Xia Tian was also acceptable to this result, but it was a bit of a pity for Zhou Xingchi.

Because his performance in "Pierre Pioneer" is really good, he portrays a street gangster vividly and is beyond his own opinion, so it is really a pity that he failed to win the award.

After the Best Supporting Actor, it's the Best Actress.

The shortlisted for this award include "Fairy Tale of Autumn", "The Two Womans", Zheng Yuling, "Rouge Button", Mei Yanfang, "The Last Victory", Li Dianlang, and "The Enemies Don't Get Away" Xiao Fangfang.

As soon as the nomination came out, Xia Tian clearly felt that Chung Chung's breathing became rapid. This was not the first time she was nominated for the Best Actress, but it was the first time she was so close to the trophy.

Because the movie "Fairy Tales in Autumn" is really great, with a win-win box office and reputation, and her performance in it is indeed very impressive. If she doesn't win the award, it would be a pity.

Seeing this, Xia Tian turned around and smiled at her, "Sister Hong, don't worry, I think this award should be yours."

As I was talking, the award presenter announced, "The one who won the Best Actress at the 7th Academy Awards is Mei Yanfang's "Rouge Button"!"

After hearing what he said, Chung Chuhong's face suddenly darkened, and her spirit suddenly disappeared.

Xia Tian felt heartbroken when he saw this scene.
