42nd Academy Awards Preview: Dapeng is likely to win the best actor? Louis Koo may be the biggest winner

Congratulations to Sammo Hung, the big brother of the Hong Kong film industry, for winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 42nd Academy Awards.

This award represents the highest honor for Hong Kong films, and Sammo Hung has enough weight and deserves it.

Run Run Shaw, Ho Guanchang, Zhang Che, Zou Wenhuai, Siu Fangfang, Liu Jialiang, Ni Kuang, Wu Siyuan, Zhang Xinyan, Chu Yuan, Xie Xian, Xu Guanwen, Hu Feng, and some Cantonese film actors and Cantonese opera performance artists have all won it.

In terms of international influence, Sammo Hung is not as good as his younger brother Jackie Chan, but in the Hong Kong film industry, Big Brother's status is as solid as a mountain.

Born in a film family, he studied Peking Opera under Yu Zhanyuan of the China Theater Academy.

After leaving the school, he followed Han Yingjie, from the Dragon and Tiger martial artist to the deputy martial arts instructor, and then to the independent martial arts instructor.

I made Hu Jinquan's movies in the middle, learned a lot of experience from him, worked with Bruce Lee, and praised his kung fu.

Under the recommendation of director Bole Huang Feng and the support of Golden Harvest Films, he directed the first film "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu".

In the Hong Kong film industry, from martial arts instructor to director, Lau Jialiang is the first, and Sammo Hung is the second.

After becoming a director, Sammo Hung further expanded his team, including Lin Zhengying and Chen Huiyi, who are known as Bruce Lee's right-hand men.

There are also juniors and disciples who learn art together, such as Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wu, etc.

There are also Wu Ma, Liu Jiarong, Huang Shrimp, Di Wei, Dong Wei, Meng Hai, Zhong Fa, Qian Yuesheng, Zou Zhaolong, Qian Jiale, etc., which can be described as full of talents.

As the leader of the Hong family class, he understands the advantages of each member, some are suitable for being a director, some are suitable for behind the scenes, and some are good performers in front of the stage.

From the Hong family's class, everyone can take the lead, and Qian Jiale, the youngest back then, is now also the president of the Hong Kong Action Stuntmen Association.

As a director, Sammo Hung is very pioneering, and he is a leader in psychedelic action movies, large-scale action comedies co-starred by stars, and military action movies.

As an actor, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor twice, which is very rare among action actors.

Big brother Sammo Hung, an all-round filmmaker, compared with his younger brother Jackie Chan, that is, he can't sing.

On April 14, at the 42nd Academy Awards ceremony, I personally think that the members of "Seven Little Blessings" should be brought in, and let Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, Yuan De, Yuan Bin, Yuan Wu, etc., present awards to Sammo Hung .

Sammo Hung took it, then the next Jackie Chan brother is not far away.

Taking advantage of Sammo Lau's popularity, we also predict a wave of the 42nd Academy Awards in advance today, if not, welcome to slap the face later.

In terms of nominations, "Under the White Sun" leads the way with 16 nominations, followed by "Diary of a Youth" and "Goldfinger" with 12 nominations each.

"Murder" and "Poisonous Tongue", 10 items, "4 beats 4 families", "I wish people a long time", 4 items, "Breaking Point", "Fill in the word L", "4 beats 4 families", 3 items.

The rest of the films such as "Stealth", "Off the Internet" and "Anti-Drug 3" are not to be mentioned.

Since it is a prediction, there must be a reference standard, one is through the performance of the actors in the film, and the other is the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Annual Awards and the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, which are usually the sentinel and weather vane of the Academy Awards.

First, the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Annual Awards, actor Tony Leung "Goldfinger", actress Yu Xiangning "Under the Daylight", Best Film "Poisonous Tongue", Best Director Cheng Baorui "Murder", Best New Actor Tse Wing-yan "I Wish People Were Long", New Director Award Zhuo Yiqian "Young Diary".

Second, the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, actor Wu Kangren (I hope people will last a long time), actress Yu Xiangning (under the white sun), best director Li Zijun (eighth suspect), best film "Murder".

So in the 42nd Academy Awards, who will win the Best Actress trophy?

01, Best Actress: Yu Xiangning "Under the White Sun"

An award without suspense, this year's Best Actress is a bit weak, and Yu Xiangning has no opponent.

In the movie, she plays a reporter from the investigation team with a sense of justice, and her performance is very layered.

In order to investigate the truth, she does not give up easily, just like the heroine in a martial arts movie.

02, new director: Zhuo Yiqian "Youth Diary"

Hong Kong films have newcomers, and the nominated directors are good.

For example, Wu Weilun, the director of "The Poisonous Tongue", which broke the box office record, and "I Wish People Were Long", which is adapted from his own novel, Zhu Ziyan wrote, directed and acted by herself to tell her own story.

Li Zijun's "The Eighth Suspect" sold 439 million at the box office in the mainland, jumping out of the co-production of police and gangster films in the past.

Jian Junjin, the director of "Under the White Sun", dared to challenge realistic themes and played well.

They are all very good, but Zhuo Yiqian's "Youth Diary" has more advantages, and I personally feel that there is not much suspense in this award.

This is a thought-provoking film, thinking about family life, the pain of youth in the process of growing up with children.

03, Best Actor: Dapeng "The Eighth Suspect"

This award is the most suspenseful, and it is difficult to draw conclusions easily.

First of all, Lu Zhenye, who eliminated "Youth Diary", is still young compared with several predecessors, and the nomination is an affirmation.

Then Huang Zihua of "The Poisonous Tongue", although he has achieved amazing results at the box office, his performance may not be recognized by the judges, and it is a bit difficult to win the award.

Tony Leung of "Goldfinger", his performance is naturally excellent, but if he compares with himself, there is not much breakthrough.

The Academy Award means little to Wei Zai, if he wins it, he will be crowned emperor for the sixth time, and if he doesn't win it, no one will break his record.

Lin Baoyi's "Under the White Sun", with enough strength and qualifications, plays the role of the villain dean, which is very breakthrough, and it is reasonable to win the award.

The only thing I am worried about is whether the judges will consider the average award, after all, "Under the White Sun" has already produced a heroine, can it be given to the male lead.

In terms of personal inclination, I actually hope to give Dapeng, first of all, he acted well, he grasped the deep and introverted very well, and he didn't lose at all against Lin Jiadong.

Then the actor in the history of the Academy Awards, except for Jet Li, has never given a mainland actor. (If you are more serious, there will be no Academy Award actor in the mainland)

There are many actresses, such as Siqin Gaowa, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Gong Li, Zhou Dongyu, Liu Yase, etc.

If Dapeng wins, it will be groundbreaking, and it will also bring heat and topics of discussion to the Academy Awards.

Just as the Golden Rooster Awards awarded the actor to Tony Leung, it seems that the Academy Awards should also be reciprocated.

But judging from the consistent conservatism of the Academy Awards, it is less likely, and the actor may be produced between Huang Zihua and Lin Baoyi.

04, Best Director: Zheng Baorui "Murder"

The only one who can compete with Zheng Baorui is Zhuang Wenqiang of "Goldfinger".

At the 40th Academy Awards, Zheng Baorui's "Wisdom Teeth" lost to the late director Chen Musheng's "Rage: A Serious Case", and this time it should be him, after all, he is the successor of the Galaxy Image hand-picked by Johnny To.

05, Best Supporting Actress: Liang Yongting "Under the White Sun"

The suspense of this award should not be big, Liang Yongting has already won the Best Supporting Actress at the "17th Asian Film Awards" before, playing a low-intelligence girl who has been violated, which is very infectious.

There are two nominees for Best Supporting Actress in "The Poisonous Tongue", namely Liao Ziyu and Yang Siyong, the former previously won this award for "Anita Mui", and this time he played the villain, his eyes were very lethal and cold.

The latter, partnered with Huang Zihua, is a lawyer who is righteous and passionate, full of heroism.

Jin Yanling in "Marriage 2", she has the most seniority, and if she wins again, she will have four Academy Award Best Supporting Actress trophies.

Verosa in "Diary of a Youth" is a stage actor who plays a husband and wife with Zheng Zhongji in the play, and her strength should not be underestimated.

06, Best Supporting Actor: Jiang David "Under the White Sun"

The competition for supporting actors is quite fierce, Wu Kangren plays an addict in "I Wish People Were Long", has high acting requirements, and won the best actor in the Critics Association, and the supporting actor is a bit of a test for him.

Xie Junhao in "The Poisonous Tongue", playing a righteous lawyer, has a slight upper hand in momentum when he plays against Huang Zihua.

Huang Zile in "Youth Diary", although he is the youngest, his performance is extremely moving, which can stimulate people's desire to protect him.

As for Li Shangzheng of "Forty-Four When the Dead Body Died", although he is a golden supporting role in Stephen Chow's movies, his performance is decent and not very competitive, which can be ruled out.

Jiang David of "Under the White Sun" is more likely to win the award, in the movie, he is like an old naughty boy, sometimes crazy and stupid, sometimes full of wisdom, and Yu Xiangning's rivalry is very interesting.

There is also a very key point, Er Dongsheng once brought Qin Pei two Best Supporting Actor trophies, who can bring good luck to his brother, I believe it will be the turn of the second brother this time.

07, Best Movie: "Youth Diary"

There are 5 shortlisted films, and "The Poisonous Tongue" has a high box office, but it lacks the texture of a movie.

"Under the White Sun" is better at realism and the shooting technique may be decent, while "Goldfinger" is a bit inconsistent and slightly chaotic.

Zheng Baorui's "Murder", which combines numerology and police and bandit elements, is relatively novel and more likely.

But I am personally optimistic about "Youth Diary", first of all, the script structure is better, and then there is no deliberate sensationalism, interpretation with life details, and no preaching and reconciliation, which is very rare.

As for the remaining awards, I won't introduce them one by one here, but judging from the above awards, "Under the White Sun" has the potential to be the biggest winner.

And "Under the White Sun" is invested and filmed by Louis Koo's world's No. 1 film company, and Yu Xiangning is also an artist in her company, so at the 42nd Academy Awards, movie tycoon Gu Tsai is the biggest winner. (Written by: 11)
