499【Lifetime Achievement Award】

After sitting apart, Guan Zhilin leaned against Kang Jianfei and whispered: "That Huang Yulang is not a good person, and his eyes always glanced at other people's chests with lust."

Not only was Kang Jianfei not jealous, but instead smiled happily: "Don't worry, you are not the type he likes. Huang Yulang is now dating Ni Shibei, and he obviously likes the yu girl."

"Can I be a beautiful girl?" Guan Zhilin saw that Kang Jianfei was not nervous at all, and she pouted depressedly and said, "I see that you don't have me in your heart at all, and you are thinking about those vixen."

Kang Jianfei quickly patted Guan Zhilin's back of her hand and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Look, I've left Qingxia and Honggu, and come with you to attend the award ceremony."

When they mentioned Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin felt the pressure that men would be stolen. When the three of them filmed "The Legend of Dao Ma Dan" together, the sisters had a good relationship, but now they basically don't take the initiative to contact each other because there was a Kang Jianfei in the middle.

Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong have developed very well in the film industry in recent years and have firmly ranked first two Hong Kong actresses, while Guan Zhilin has been fishing for three days and has been running the Internet for two days. She only takes on a movie and plays it when she is bored.

Invisibly, Guan Zhilin felt that she was being compared by Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong, so she took advantage of Kang Jianfei's life to star in a movie.

Zhong Chuhong was also nominated for Best Actress this time, and was sitting with Xu Anhua, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and others. Zhong Chuhong was often depressed about Kang Jianfei's fickleness, but he was always unsure of his decision to break up.

"Why are the two seniors Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian coming?" Zhong Chuhong turned his head to see Kang Jianfei, but only saw two very familiar old faces.

Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian are both women, masters in the Hong Kong opera and film industry. Almost no Hong Kong people over 30 years old don’t know them.

Zhou Runfa also felt very strange. The two opera masters had long retired. They only came out to sing operas occasionally, or made guest appearances in movies. Why did they come to attend the Academy Awards ceremony today?

"Maybe it was a special guest of awards." Zhou Runfa guessed.

Zhang Guorong was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "They were not here to present the awards, but the organizing committee specially invited them to receive the awards."

"What awards are they receiving? They didn't make movies last year." Zhong Chuhong asked.

"Lifetime Achievement Award," Zhang Guorong said as he suddenly stood up, "It's almost time, I'm going to go to the backstage to prepare."

The appearance of Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian not only caused Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong, but many guests at the scene were whispering.

Chen Bosen looked at the seats below and said to Shu Qi: "This year's nomination for the Academy Awards is a bit outrageous, and tomorrow's newspapers may have to be written randomly again."

"Yes, I must write randomly again." Shu Qi said with a headache.

Just in terms of the total box office, the Hong Kong film industry is now a three-legged battle between DreamWorks, Jiahe and New Art City. However, DreamWorks accounted for the nomination for this year's Academy Awards. There are only two or three films shortlisted for Jiahe and New Art City. Such a huge difference really makes people doubt the fairness of the Academy Awards. Who said that Phoenix Channel is the organizer of the Academy Awards?

"Phoenix Channel has become a subsidiary of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group and has a closer relationship with DreamWorks. Next year's Golden Star Awards must not be hosted by Phoenix Channel." Shu Qi said seriously. Although Kang Jianfei has never intervened in the Golden Star Awards selection and is far more cute than any sponsor, in order to make the Golden Star Award bigger, Shu Qi still has to let the Golden Star Awards avoid the suspicion of secret operations.

"Will he be willing?" Chen Bosen asked.

Shu Qi said firmly: "Do you want to talk about whether you are willing to do so, otherwise in the eyes of the outside world, the Academy Awards will become more and more like DreamWorks toys."

Among the three major giants in the Hong Kong film industry this year, Kang Jianfei was the only one who attended the Academy Awards ceremony as a guest, and neither Jiahe nor the leader of the New Art City came.

...

After a brief wait, the Academy Awards ceremony finally officially began.

The host of the ceremony did not appear immediately. The stage was pitch black. Suddenly, a figure walked to the front of the stage with the lights amid the drums and music.

"The bright moon shines on the seashore

The silver flows thousands of miles away, the jade is free of dust”

Suddenly, the song came out of the stage. The tune seemed to be Cantonese opera but was not authentic. But you could tell that it was Zhang Guorong singing it.

"The fragrance of flowers is floating close

The night is charming, and the dream is charming.”

Another figure came on stage and then sang the lyrics of Zhang Guorong. However, last year, the record sold to more than 400,000, which shocked Anita Mui in the Hong Kong music scene.

"Hahaha……"

There was a relaxed burst of laughter from the audience, but it was Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui who were both wearing Cantonese opera costumes, sang while shaking their faces and making fun on the stage.

"*Sky adds emotion

The evening breeze is gentle, the flowing water is singing

It's so intoxicating to enjoy the night

Dance with each other, like clouds chasing the moon

How many laughs are in the song

…”

With the beautiful singing of Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian couldn't help but talk to the tune, closed their eyes and started the beat intoxication.

After the song was sung, there was a thunderous applause in the theater. Ren Jianhui, wearing a men's suit, opened his eyes and said, "Fairy Sister, is this the tune of "Coloured Clouds Chasing the Moon"?"

"Brother Hui is the tone of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", but it also has a little pop song," Bai Xuexian wiped her face with a handkerchief and praised, "But this lyrics are good, and the lyrics written are very classical."

At this time, the stage was already bright, and Anita Mui, wearing Cantonese opera costumes, did not step down. Zhang Guorong took the lead and said, "Today is the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards. When it comes to Hong Kong films, the type of opera movies cannot be avoided."

Anita Mui continued: "Yes, from "Dingjun Mountain" in 1905, it has just been a 80-year history."

Zhang Guorong: "80 years passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye."

Anita Mui: "This year marks both the 80th birthday of Chinese-language movies and the 80th birthday of Chinese opera movies."

Zhang Guorong: "When talking about Hong Kong opera movies, I think two familiar names will immediately appear in everyone's mind."

Anita Mui: "The first award presented tonight's Academy Award is the Lifetime Achievement Award for Opera and Film."

Zhang Guorong: "I would like to invite a special award presenter. Mr. Kang Jianfei came on stage to announce the winner and present the award!"

Before that, the Academy Awards had been promoted that this year was the 80th birthday of Chinese-language films. Many people also looked forward to the award ceremony to create new ideas, but they did not expect that it would be so exciting as soon as the show started.

"Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" is an orchestral folk music composed by Ren Guang and Nie Er in the 1930s. In fact, it was seen in the Cantonese music scores in the Qing Dynasty and can be regarded as a folk music widely circulated in Guangdong and Dong. However, it was modified, standardized and organized by two musicians Ren Guang and Nie Er.

Since its record was recorded in the 1930s, there have been various lyric versions of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", and there are seven or eight Cantonese versions alone, and Bai Xuexian and Ren Jianhui naturally sang them.

"Coloured Clouds Chasing the Moon" performed by Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui combine Cantonese opera with popular styles. Compared with previous versions, it is both innovative and nostalgic, which is really eye-catching.

The opening of this song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" already makes people feel the sincerity of this Academy Awards ceremony, which is obviously written to celebrate the 80th birthday of Chinese films.

Everyone guessed who the two opera actors who were about to win the Lifetime Achievement Award, so before Kang Jianfei could speak, there was another round of applause from the audience.

"I am very happy and honored to be the award presenter today, and I will be the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award for the two seniors in the film industry," Kang Jianfei spoke in public. "The Chinese film has left a brand of opera since the moment of its birth. So today we specially prepared two trophies for the two opera masters to celebrate the 80th birthday of Chinese films, and also let me give the two opera masters the most sincere respect. Please invite Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian to come on stage to receive the award!"

"Baobabababababa..."

The applause was particularly warm this time, as if the sound waves could shake the ceiling of the theater.

Kang Jianfei picked up two trophys from the tray and gave them to the two old ladies Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian.

Bai Xuexian didn't know what to say to the microphone, so she said thank you everyone, and said to Ren Jianhui: "Brother Hui, please tell me."

Ren Jianhui has always been dressed as a man. She bowed first before saying, "Thank you for the recognition of the Golden Star Award and your support, Xianmei and I have won the trophy of the Lifetime Achievement Award at Taiping Theater. For decades, in this Taiping Theater, Xianmei and I have performed at least hundreds of Cantonese operas, and our drama movies are often screened here. At this moment, standing on this stage again, I feel like I am the Cantonese opera actor who can sing and dance 30 years ago..."

Ren Jianhui is old and has many memories and many feelings. He talks for five or six minutes in one breath. The director of the awards ceremony was so anxious that he ran to the side of the stage to wink Kang Jianfei.

Many people present grew up listening to the two old ladies' plays. For example, Zhang Guorong has been obsessed with Ren and Bai since childhood. He often skipped classes to watch the two old ladies perform. At this time, he was also very touched when he heard Ren Jianhui's winning words.

However, Kang Jianfei couldn't let this person talk any more. He quietly came to Bai Xuexian and whispered: "Senior Bai, the time is almost over."

Bai Xuexian immediately understood and interrupted, "Oh, Brother Hui, you have a problem again. As soon as you start talking, it will be dawn."

A kind laugh came from the audience, and Ren Jianhui finally stopped talking and asked finally: "Which lyrics was filled in by the lyrics of "Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon" by Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui just now?"

Kang Jianfei smiled modestly: "It's just that I'm off, and I'm laughing at the door."

"I am worthy of being a talented man in Kang," Ren Jianhui asked, "I wonder if this song can be sang with the fairy girl?"
