Liu Qingyun said that booing is better than silence.
This year is the seventh year that Sammi Cheng has been nominated for Best Actress in the Hong Kong Academy Awards, and it is also her 10 role.
As early as 200 1, she was nominated for the best actress for "Lonely Men and Few Women" for the first time.
In 2002, she was nominated for three films, namely Living with Close Friends, Slimming Men and Women and Zhong Wuyan. She won three of the five best actress seats, but lost to Zhang Aijia in Forever.
In 2020, Sammi Cheng was selected as the best actress for the sixth time for her two works, The Taste of Pepper and The Murder in San Jose, but the winner of that year was Zhou Dongyu in Better Days.
Sammi Cheng has been running for many years, and fans always want to know when she can realize her dream. This year, this moment has finally arrived-
Sammi Cheng won the Best Actress Award from the Hong Kong Film Critics Association for her film Running Water among Flowers, and she is a hot figure this year. Although he faced his old rival Zhang Aijia again, Sammi Cheng finally had the last laugh.
Andy Lau, an old partner, commented on the five finalists when he came to the stage as an awarding guest. Finally, he said to Sammi Cheng, "There is nothing to tell you. I want to tell you that I love you."
Finally, Sammi Cheng once choked up when he took the stage to receive the award. In her acceptance speech, she said: "In fact, the award for best actress seems out of reach for me, one step away. What I have been thinking about for so many years is not how to win the prize, but how to improve and change my acting skills. "
Sammi Cheng said that he was transformed from a comedian to a drama, and he encountered many difficulties along the way and was not recognized. Thank you for meeting the drama "Flowing Water Out of Flowers".
Sammi Cheng, 5 1 year-old, is still active in the film industry in recent years and maintains a good state. She said that she would dedicate her dream-chasing moment to all dream-chasers in the world: "I want to tell people with dreams in the world that the road to dream-chasing is difficult, but I hope you will keep going. Dreams are reserved for people who never give up. "
Finally, Sammi Cheng hummed a few words of Jacky Cheung's classic old song, "Do you know, do you know, I will wait until the flowers fall in bloom", and the sadness and persistence of running for many years were condensed in the song.
After Sammi Cheng won the prize, Wu Zhenyu took the stage to present the award for the best actor. As a senior actor who hasn't taken the golden elephant for many years, Wu Zhenyu touched the trophy and said wryly, "I also wanted to touch this dream, but it was taken away after a while."
This year's nominations for best actor include two new actors from The Monastery of Justice. Wu Zhenyu joked before the awards that everyone said that Hong Kong films were not accepted by actors, but there were new actors he didn't know on the nomination list. He also quipped that another reason why actors are not accepted by actors is that people like Liu Qingyun continue to accept plays, and so do bad plays.
In the end, Liu Qingyun won the Golden Elephant Best Actor for the third time with Detective Wars. Liu Qingyun, who has had a lot of award-winning experience, calmly thanked the staff behind and in front of the film and called back Sammi Cheng and Wu Zhenyu. He said: "If you really have a dream, work hard and live a long life, your dream will come true. I accept applause or boos, which is better than silence. "
Detective Wars became the biggest winner.
The director of "The Cloister of Justice" said that Hong Kong movies were not dead.
Besides helping Liu Qingyun win the best actor for the third time, Detective Wars also won three awards, namely, best director, best screenwriter and best cinematography, and became the biggest winner of this award ceremony. Among them, director Wei Jiahui was shortlisted for the best director five times and won the prize for the first time.
The Cloister of Justice, which led the nomination stage, won 16 nominations, and finally won two awards: Best New Director and Best Editing.
In recent years, local films in Hong Kong have picked up, among which The Cloister of Justice, I still think you are the best, and Dust in a Narrow Road are all representative works. Hong Kong film circles call this phenomenon "Xiaoyangchun". He Juetian, director of The Corridor of Justice, said in his acceptance speech: "Hong Kong movies are not dead, and we will continue to work hard."
In addition, the sci-fi movie The Tomorrow War, starring and invested by Louis Koo, also won three action awards: Best Sound Effect, Best Visual Effect and Best Action Design. It can be seen that apart from local dramas, the Academy Awards recognize and support the visual effect blockbusters produced in Hong Kong.
As for actors, the Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Lifetime Achievement Award are also worthy of attention.
Veteran actor Xu Guanwen won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the first time. He said that everyone can regard him as a newcomer, and he has never won a non-funny award himself. "Weng Ziguang let me play this role. I have no confidence at all. I said this is not an interesting role. When I got home, I discussed it with my wife. She said give it a try. There is a scene of speaking English 10 minutes. I really took this picture. 10 minutes I didn't laugh at all. I'm not used to it. I asked the deputy director, did the director laugh? The assistant director said, no, but congratulations, he cried. "
80-year-old Xu Guanwen is still breaking through himself, as inspiring as Sammi Cheng's unremitting efforts. Equally inspiring is Wang Wanzhi, who has been recognized as a singer-turned-actress. This year, she won the best supporting actress for I still think you are the best.
Wang Wanzhi said, "Sometimes I wonder if I am a singer, an actor or a writer? It turns out that I have many dreams, and I need everyone to welcome me to play myself on different platforms, so that I can have a chance to realize my dreams. Thank you for accepting me as an actor, my fans for supporting my movies, and my fans for listening to my music, if any. "
Hu Feng, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, said that he had worked with all the popular Hua Dan in Cantonese film era, but after the decline of Cantonese film era, he gradually lost the leading role. When wandering at the crossroads, he was faced with two choices. If he had given up at that time, he would have a resume of being a leading role forever, but if he continued to be an actor, he would definitely be a supporting role in the future. At that time, his wife enlightened him, and the protagonist was just a name, which made him wake up and continue to be an actor.
Going back to the proposition that "Hong Kong films will never die", not only generations of filmmakers continue to do it, but we also hear that 9 1 year-old Hu Feng gave up being the leading role, 80-year-old Xu Guanwen continued to break through, 5 1 year-old Sammi Cheng and 6 1 year-old Wu Zhenyu are still on the way to chasing their dreams ... These stories of love and reluctance are also.
