Chapter 441: Co-organizing the Academy Awards

Xiangjiang Academy Awards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1979, there were Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan at that time, but the Hong Kong film industry, which had begun to take shape, did not have a film festival of its own.

So under the preparation of "Film Fortnightly", the selection of an annual outstanding film and outstanding filmmaker simply began.

Two years ago, Chen Baisheng, the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", suddenly burst out with a sentence "Can we make it bigger", which confirmed the birth of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.

With the human and financial resources of "Film Fortnightly" back then, it was impossible to hold an award ceremony, so I could only find helpers, and finally invited Heung Kong Radio to co-organize.

But despite this, the first Academy Awards was quite simple, and the filmmakers in Hong Kong didn't take it seriously.

Last year, it was the 60th anniversary of Sing Tao Newspaper, and I wanted to hold a show as a commemorative event, so "Film Fortnightly" appropriately pulled this sponsor again.

With the support of Sing Tao Newspaper, the second Academy Awards are naturally much grander than the first one.

The Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards organized its own class to do the production, with more than 20 award presenters, and even invited Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, which was quite decent, and "Film Fortnightly" also became a small hit.

"Ah Yi, what's going on? Why did "Film Fortnightly" ask me to co-organize some Academy Awards?"

On paper, Chen Baisheng, the editor-in-chief of Film Fortnightly, praised Mo Xuan and his free newspaper, Apple Daily, for their contributions to Hong Kong.

In the end, Chen Baisheng put forward an intention that the third Xiangjiang Film Awards will be co-organized by "Film Fortnightly" and "Apple Daily".

Faced with this request, Mo Xuan was really confused.

Although he is born again, this does not mean that he knows everything in heaven and on earth.

I really don't know much about the Xiangjiang Film Awards, Mo Xuan only knows that it is the authority of the Xiangjiang film industry, and countless people are proud of winning the award, but they really don't know its specific development.

"Hey, boss, you usually do big business, maybe you don't know much about this Academy Awards.

Last year's Academy Awards, although they brought "Sing Tao Daily" to hold it together, were much better than the year before.

However, in this process, because "Sing Tao Daily" wanted to do a big show at that time, and did not want to fake it.

They are not professionals, so naturally they can't stir up good things, and there are naturally many omissions in the process: the staff lacks tacit understanding, and the award presenters read the list of nominees, but there is no film clip.

The ramp of the stage design made the award presenters step by step, and even some stars simply refused to walk on it..... It's full of mistakes and omissions, and it's been criticized.

"Sing Tao Daily" was originally for publicity, but it encountered this basket of broken things, how could it continue to be wronged.

I see, this "Film Fortnightly" is now treating you as a wronged person, and you don't have to deal with them. ”

Seeing that his boss took the initiative to ask about the Xiangjiang Film Awards, Fan Chengyi had no choice but to tell him the ins and outs of the whole thing.

In his words, Fan Chengyi was full of disdain for the Academy Awards.

And Fan Chengyi's attitude also indirectly illustrates the difficult situation of the Academy Awards.

In this 1984 year, if the Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan Island was a grand event for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and even the whole of Southeast Asia, then the Xiangjiang Film Awards were really a child who was not on the stage, and not many people took it seriously.

Influence and gold content are not the same.

In Fan Chengyi's view, "Film Fortnightly" and "Apple Daily" co-organized it are completely treating his boss as a big wrongdoer.

"Wronged? ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Mo Xuan's mouth.

At this time, most people in Xiangjiang were still immersed in his large-scale purchase of Heung Kong Electric Light Company for 3.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he was also synonymous with money at this time.

Those people are not wrong to regard themselves as "wronged leaders".

"Yes, boss, what is the use of doing this, there is no gold content at all in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Aren't they just treating you as a wronged person and borrowing your "Apple Daily" for free publicity by the way? ”

Fan Chengyi's eyes are like torches, and he can see at a glance the "wishful thinking" of "Film Fortnightly", so he does not approve of his boss spending money on this Academy Award.

"Free propaganda .... Ah Yi, if you call them, they will say that Apple Daily has agreed, but we have some small requests. ”

It is difficult for people who have not experienced the afterlife to imagine the future development of this Academy Awards.

This time, the gang of "Film Fortnightly" took the initiative to send it to the door, how could he refuse, and when the time came, he put forward some small conditions, so the Academy Awards, hehe....

"Boss, you.... This.... Even if you want to do it, I'm afraid that when the news spreads, there will be few film companies willing to participate in the Academy Awards. ”

Seeing that his boss didn't mind being wronged, Fan Chengyi, in desperation, had no choice but to express his other concern.

His boss contracted the Academy Awards, so Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng, and other film companies will come to participate, Fan Chengyi was deeply worried.

"Don't worry, they will definitely come, don't forget that we have the largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang.

Besides, wouldn't it be better if they didn't come, then the Academy Awards are the internal selection of our Zongheng Pictures, we can also compare, and I can provide some benefits when the time comes. ”

Fan Chengyi's concern was not a problem at all in Mo Xuan's opinion.

Now Zongheng Pictures has the largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang, but it is in the process of rectification.

Mo Xuan just took this opportunity to win over other film companies, and now they can't support a whole theater chain in Zongheng Pictures.

This is the wisher who has taken the bait, Mo Xuan believes that there are many smart people in Xiangjiang.

As for the lack of Jiahe, the new city, the gold content has been greatly reduced, and that is not a matter at all in Mo Xuan's opinion.

If you don't come, that's just right. Let's hold an internal selection competition, and Mo Xuan is also happy.

“.... Oh well, boss. ”

At this time, in Fan Chengyi's heart, he only had a big word for his boss.

...

He Chaoqiong's residence.

"Knock knock...."

"Click. ”

Hearing a knock on the door, the servant of the villa quickly opened the door, only to see a middle-aged woman standing outside the door who was gorgeously dressed and looked charming.

"Where's Miss?"

Seeing that the door of the villa was opened, the beautiful woman walked straight inside, as familiar as if she had entered her own home, and the maid by the door was not surprised.

"Madame, Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle, she is still sleeping. ”
