香港電影金像奬協會（大會）為誌「第四十二屆香港電影金像獎」頒獎典禮舉行而特別編印紀念特刊，邀請「最佳導演」、「最佳男、女主角」、「最佳男、女配角」、「最佳新演員」及「新晉導演」提名人拍攝造型照。今天（19日）大會率先發布五位「最佳新演員」候選人吳冰、陳諾霆、許月湘、何珀廉及謝咏欣(按大會提名名單排序)的獨立造型照，為迎接典禮來臨掀起序幕。

去年及本屆金像獎「最佳新演員」項目都有小演員入圍，今年更有陳諾霆及何珀廉兩位同場角逐。在《4拍4家族》演出的陳諾霆有「小鼓神」之稱，六歲時已登上「紅館」舞台為歌手古巨基伴奏，及後在電視綜藝節目表演精湛鼓藝技驚四座。他在拍攝《4拍4家族》之前從未有過演戲經驗，在片中飾演一個「鼓人合一」的天才鼓手，他演繹被媽媽強逼放棄打鼓要專注學業後嚎啕大哭的一幕，真摰情感大爆發令觀眾動容。

何珀廉參演《年少日記》時是十歲，他自六歲起便開始參與電視劇集演出，更在不少鋼琴及小提琴比賽屢獲殊榮，演藝經驗豐富。何珀廉在電影中是個品學及彈鋼琴造詣皆優秀、被父親特意栽培為未來成功人士的小學生，然他需要面對在各方面都遠遜於自己的兄長。他直言要收起開朗的性格並壓抑情緒來演繹一個循規蹈舉的好孩子實在是個挑戰。

相對於兩位小演員，另外三位「最佳新演員」候選人吳冰、許月湘及謝咏欣均曾接受正統演藝訓練或修讀電影相關科目。吳冰以網絡影片製作團隊「小薯茄」演員而為人認識，她甫登上大銀幕即當上喜劇《1人婚禮》的女主角，飾演一名小丑藝人兼YouTuber，為刺激點擊率與男友不斷製造感情新聞，可是點擊率並沒增加，繼而將謊言升級，公布會獨自籌辦「一人婚禮」，結果引起巨大迴響，全片笑料不斷。吳冰將此角色搞笑精叻、表情誇張以及最愛逗人發笑的性格發揮得淋漓盡致。

在本屆金像獎獲十六項提名的《白日之下》中飾演年青記者的許月湘是香港演藝學院畢業生，從未接觸過新聞採訪工作，她表示幸好得到劇組安排與報導當年殘疾院舍黑幕的記者見面，了解他們偵查採訪的經過，成功幫助她揣摩角色及傳神演繹年輕熱血的記者。

憑藉《但願人長久》入圍角逐本屆香港電影金像奬「最佳新演員」獎項的謝咏欣，去年已在金馬獎先拔頭籌奪得「最佳新演員」榮銜。謝咏欣在《但願人長久》飾演從內地來港的新移民少女，有一個不斷入獄的癮君子父親，需要演繹面對貧窮與身分認同的複雜情感。她首度參與電影就有「金馬影帝」吳慷仁飾演她爸爸，二人有一場逼真的扭打戲，事後發現被「爸爸」意外打傷了，兩父女合演時的投入程度可見一斑。

「最佳新演員」獎項連同其他十八個大獎的結果將於4月14日在「第四十二屆香港電影金像奬」頒獎典禮中揭曉。當晚頒獎典禮節目將由「香港盲人輔導會」及「香港聾人福利促進會」分別為視障、聽障及有需要人士分別提供口述影像及手語傳譯服務，讓他們可以無障礙地欣賞本港電影界的年度盛事，即時領略得獎者的感受和喜悅。

The Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA) will publish a special commemorative booklet to mark the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards. The HKFAA has invited the nominees for “Best Director”, “Best Actor and Actress”, “Best Supporting Actor and Actress”, “Best New Performer” and “Best New Director” to take part in the portraits shooting. HKFAA today reveled the styling portraits of the five nominees for “Best New Performer”, namely NG Ping, Rondi CHAN, HUI Yuet Sheung, Curtis HO and Yoyo TSE (in order of the nomination list), leading up to the arrival of the grand occasion.

The "Best New Performer" category has seen the inclusion of child actor for the second year in a row with the side-by-side competition between Rondi CHAN and Curtis HO. Rondi CHAN, nominated for his performance in “Band Four”, is known as a young drum god. At the age of six, he was the drum accompanist for singer Leo Ku on the stage of the Hong Kong Coliseum. His talented drumming skills have astonished the audience with his impressive performances in various television variety shows. CHAN, with no prior film acting experience, portrays a gifted drummer in the movie. In one particular scene, his emotional breaks down in tears after his mother forces him to give up drumming and to focus on his academics has deeply impressed the viewers.

Curtis HO was ten years old when he appeared in “Time Still Turns the Pages”. He has been participating in television dramas since the age of six. He has also won numerous awards in piano and violin competitions, showcasing his versatility in performing arts. In the film, he plays a primary school student who excels in both academics and piano playing, and is being groomed by his father to become a successful person in the future. He has to face up that his elder brother who’s ability falls far behind him in all aspects. HO said that it was a challenge for him to suppress his cheerful personality and emotions to portray a well-behaved child.

Unlike the two child actors, the other three nominees for “Best New Performer”, NG Ping, HUI Yuet Sheung and Yoyo TSE, have either received formal training in performing acts or studied film-related courses. NG Ping is known for being an actress of the online video production team “Pomato”. She made her debut on the big screen as the leading role in the comedy “Say I Do To Me”. She portrays a clown artist and a YouTuber who, with her boyfriend, continuously creates news on their relationship in order to boost hit rate but in vain. She then escalates her lying by announcing a "one-person wedding" organized all by herself and this announcement has successfully sparked off overwhelming response. The film is packed with funny scenes and laughable bits. NG’s skillful acting has delivered the witty trickster characteristics; exaggerated facial expressions and playful, fun-loving personality of this role to the fullest.

HUI Yuet Sheung is a graduate of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. She plays a young journalist in “In Broad Daylight” which bags sixteen nominations at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. HUI, who has never been involved in news reporting before, expressed her gratitude for the production team’s arrangement to meet the journalists who have previously investigated and reported on the scandals of a residential care home for the disabled. This meeting has allowed her to understand the investigation process and helped her effectively grasp the character and deliver a convincing performance as a passionate young journalist.

Yoyo TSE is nominated for the “Best New Performer” award at this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in “Fly Me To The Moon”. Her brilliant performance already earned her the same title in the Golden Horse Awards last year. In the film, TSE plays a young immigrant girl from the mainland China, whose father is a drug addict and is often in prison. She skillfully portrays the complex emotions of facing poverty and grappling with her identity. In her debut film, she had the opportunity to co-act with the Golden Horse Awards “Best Actor” WU Kang-ren, who plays her father. They had an intense fighting scene that was so “real” that TSE was later found accidentally injured by her “father” during the fight. The performance in this scene is a testament to the commitment and dedication of both actors.

The results of the "Best New Performer" Award together with the winners of the other 18 award categories will be announced at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards presentation ceremony on 14th April. HKFAA announced that audio description and sign-language interpretation services provided by the Hong Kong Society for the Blind and The Hong Kong Society for the Deaf, respectively will be available for the presentation ceremony programme enabling the visually and hearing impaired and those in need to enjoy the annual film industry gala event without barriers, and to share the joy and heartfelt emotions of the award winners in real time.
