In addition to giving awards to stars famous actor, director or a qualified team The “Hong Kong Film Awards” also has a strange thing…
With the time to give important recognitions to personnel who to many may seem like they have nothing to the point that they too are often forgotten
It’s not a big job, is it?
In 2018 Hong Kong Film Awards Professional Spirit Award was given to a Hong Kong woman named “Yang Rong Lian” that people must say the same after hearing the name or seeing the face. that they hardly knew her at all
However, his acceptance of the award was met with thunderous applause at the day’s event from all the prominent industry figures who attended. Also, her award was announced by one of the biggest stars of the Hong Kong film industry, Jackie Chan. And give the prize to yourself separately
Most importantly, at that time, Jackie Chan was working overseas. But he came back to Hong Kong to come to the awards for this particular woman.
“Yang Rong Lian” herself may have played a supporting role in more than half a hundred Hong Kong films in the 1990s until she became familiar, but this Hong Kong woman is not. Who are some interesting supporting actors? Because most of the time she plays extra roles that almost don’t even have dialogue.
because really then the main function on the set of filming “Yang Rong Lian” will act as a teapot on the set of the film for the cast and crew. The Professional Spirit Award he received was for his acting?
A career that nobody wants to have
According to the story, “Yang Rong Lian” started in the industry as a team in the clothing department. before moving on to serving as a teapot on set Working in this position since 1990 until he just retired during the COVID-19 outbreak last year 2021
Making tea on set might seem like an easy job on set, but one thing people don’t realize is that it’s a lot of shift work.
Because such work is quite difficult. On some film sets, hundreds of people have to make tea. And there will only be one person working this position on set. Therefore, hardly anyone has been able to do this work for so long “Yang Rong Lian” can do it.
In the past, “Yang Rong Lian” has made tea for the cast and crew of hundreds of films. Including popular movies like Infernal Affairs, My Girl Don’t Touch, Gu Wa Zai Action Movies, Prize Movies or even Yang Rong Lian grade 3 movies. I don’t mind taking on such duties.
However, being on the film set most of the time makes Yang Rong Lian Ho have the opportunity to get acting work. It can be said that she almost accepts films as a side job. Until there are almost 50 work credits ever. She also had the opportunity to make clothes again in some films.
Reward for the forgotten
In fact, the Professional Spirit Award was awarded to Yang Ronglian Received is an award given to personnel in various fields of work. Who is fully dedicated to working for the Hong Kong film circle, whether that person has a front-end or behind-the-scenes position
Some years are given to writers, others to producers. or even the filming director Action director Yuan Wu Ping also received this award.
Actor Jackie Chan also received this award. and some years an award for recognition of professional workers in Hong Kong film industry. He has chosen to give awards to people who are unlikely to have the opportunity to receive an award like this in any stage of the awards ceremony
Whether it is to award the legendary Hong Kong film cover writer whose name Thais may not know Ma you should have seen the work of “Ruan Da Yong” who wrote countless Hong Kong film posters. From the era of Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingshi, is called through this painter’s brush.
The poster, designed by Ruan Da Yong, became one of Hong Kong cinema’s most memorable days. paintings that both look realistic and it’s a caricature painting looks alive and invites people to pass by wanting to see that film too
As for the 34th awards ceremony, the Hong Kong film industry also honored the props department staff “Li Kunlong”. who has been through a lot of work AND is responsible for the equipment in countless famous films
Or the last year the Professional Spirit Award was given to “Zhou Guo Zhong”, a legendary film editor nicknamed “Golden Scissors” because he cut films from the real scissors era. together never In the past, Zhou Guo Zhong himself has produced many film editing works.
Especially the Hong Kong films of the golden age that passed through his “scissors”.
Another actor who has received this award besides Jackie Chan is “Liu Yun”, a supporting actor who has acted in 200 films with a unique cross-eyed identity. And that made him another legendary figure in the Hong Kong film industry.
In the past, Liu Yun himself has acted in more than 100 films, most of them as extras, stuntmen and clowns. Lui is regarded as yet another legend of the Hong Kong film industry that many deem fit for this award in its own right.
Award period for “Professionals who work with spirit” or this Professional Spirit Award becomes a good time. On the awards stage in Hong Kong, many times, staff who normally rarely have the opportunity to go on the awards stage like this.
Whether it’s the lighting department, looking for props in the film or even making tea Including people who work elsewhere in the outer ring Both film scholars, mass media or cover photo writers to be conscientiously complied with star Famous Stand and give a heartfelt ovation to congratulate those who have received such awards.
