Chapter 131: Cinema Alliance
"I'm a layman at the awards ceremony, so it's okay to come up with ideas. Miss Yu has a lot of experience in this area, so I have to ask you to continue to be happy. 5% of the sponsorship from this award ceremony is considered as Miss Yu's remuneration. ”
As soon as Lin Youlun's words came out, Chen Baisen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Zheng had done a lot of things for the preliminary preparations for the Academy Awards, leaving her to have an explanation to all parties.
Yu Zheng also joked: "Mr. Lin is not afraid that I will go around under your banner to deceive?" ”
Lin Youlun shrugged indifferently and replied humorously: "Then Miss Yu is ready to work for me for a lifetime." ”
Yu Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!"
Lin Youlun and Yu Zheng sat and shook hands, and then the topic turned to the preparations for the Academy Awards.
Since Lin Youlun has the heart to make this Academy Awards bigger, the guests invited by Yu Zheng before are not enough, he made a list for Yu Zheng, and only said that the people above will not refuse as long as they receive an invitation.
"Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Xingchi, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long......" Looking at the list of familiar names on the paper, Yu Zheng suddenly found that she should thank those who released her pigeons, if it weren't for their rebellion, the position of the award presenter would not have been vacant so much.
This world is really amazing, an hour ago Yu Zheng was still worried about not having enough award presenters, but now she is starting to worry about too many candidates.
She took the pen and drew in circles on the paper for a long time, and then looked up in distress, "Can you invite them all over?" ”
"Are you going to have a group of presenters for each award?"
Lin Youlun's words were originally intended to let Yu Zheng dispel this unrealistic idea. Unexpectedly, it reminded Yu Zheng instead.
"Mr. Lin's idea is so good, it's boring to have only one person go up to present the award for each award, and the two guests go up to the award partner, and the interaction between the two sides can also drive the atmosphere of the scene. Such a great idea. How did I not think of it before? ”
Lin Youlun felt that it was better not to continue to express his opinions, this woman's thinking was really different from normal people.
Yu Zheng lowered his head and wrote and drew on that piece of paper for a while, the number of award presenters has doubled, but there are still many people left on the list.
"It's just that the awards won't be too boring, it's a big event in the film industry, and there should be a cabaret in between. The show performed by ordinary people is not interesting, give the guests appropriate remuneration and let them perform on stage! Yu Zheng thought of another idea. A few more names were ticked off by the brush.
Seeing that Yu Zheng was still trying his best to continue to increase the number of guests, Lin Youlun finally couldn't help it.
"That's enough!" This is no longer a negotiable tone, it is directly an order.
Yu Zheng had no choice but to give up, and all the guests were finalized. Lin Youlun then talked about the award setting.
On the basis of the original five awards, the second edition of the Academy added Best Newcomer, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Action Direction, Best Film Score, and Best Film Song. On this basis, Lin Youlun asked for another award for best visual effects.
So far in Hong Kong, only Xu Ke's "Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" and "Legend of the Night" can be called special effects movies, Lin Youlun set up this award, Yu Zheng and Chen Baisen both felt that he was so that "Legend of the Night" could win one more award.
"I hope that the Academy Awards will develop into a vane for Hong Kong films in the future. And this award is set up to encourage more filmmakers to try special effects production, the future is the era of special effects films, and Hong Kong films are really lagging behind in this regard. If we don't catch up, we will only be left farther and farther away by others! ”…,
Yu Zheng is not a professional filmmaker. Lin Youlun's words did not resonate too much with her, but Chen Baisen was born as a professional film critic. I have more opportunities to get in touch with Western films than the general audience, and I also have a certain understanding of the development of Hollywood special effects techniques. Regardless of whether Lin Youlun said this from the bottom of his heart, he felt that Lin Youlun was very reasonable.
Lin Youlun then made some requirements for the details of the award ceremony, especially the dress of the guests attending the award ceremony, "Everyone must wear formal dresses, both Eastern and Western, and it is not allowed to wear too unusual and out-of-the-ordinary clothing." ”
The red carpet catwalk of the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony in later generations is recognized as the most ugly, male and female stars often appear in exaggerated costumes, a good eye-catching show of handsome guys and beauties, but at the end it has become a mix and match display of various fancy dresses. Feeling this, Lin Youlun made such a request.
Yu Zheng and Chen Baisen both thought that Lin Youlun just wanted to make the atmosphere of the award ceremony more formal, and they didn't think much about other aspects.
——
Coming out of the café, Lin Youlun learned that Yu Zheng was going to go to TVB to run errands, so he decided to take her car with him.
"I thought Mr. Lin would propose to revise the award judging system." Yu Zheng actually wanted to ask this question for a long time, but Chen Baisen had been present before, and she was not easy to speak.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to manipulate awards?" Lin Youlun asked rhetorically.
Yu Zheng smiled but did not speak, and the expression on his face was clearly saying yes.
Lin Youlun leaned back on the seat with his hands on the back of his head and said, "Many things are actually not as complicated as you think, if you treat this world world with simplicity, this world will give you simplicity." ”
After hearing this, Yu Zheng didn't speak again.
"How about you say I'll pull the wireless in and broadcast the awards ceremony live on TV?"
Yu Zheng looked at Lin Youlun in surprise, thinking that Lin Youlun came over with him, was it just for this? Unexpectedly, Lin Youlun asked her to talk to Wireless.
"You can't miss a penny of the broadcast fee, you tell them, if they don't agree, we will go to ATV."
Yu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, obviously discussing business, but listening to Lin Youlun's tone, how could it be like going to collect insurance fees for wireless insurance?
——
"Lin Sheng is here, sit down!" Shao Yifu's face was full of joy, and the whole person seemed to be ten years younger.
Lin Youlun sat on the sofa and asked curiously, "Did the sixth uncle encounter any happy events?" ”
"The box office of "The Saint of Gambling" has exceeded 43 million!" Shao Yifu's mood is like a clear and bright river, flowing smoothly, no wonder he is so happy, this movie broke the previous record of the number of moviegoers held by Golden Harvest's "Baby Wisdom Multi-Star" series, which made the Shaw Brothers who had been silent for many years raise their eyebrows.
"I also have a happy event I want to tell Uncle Six. I promised you that the integration of Hong Kong cinemas will be completed within two years, and now it seems that this goal should be achieved immediately. ”
Shao Yifu's brows suddenly furrowed, and his expression looked very surprised. He knew that Jiahe and Princess Jin had contact with Lin Youlun these days, but no matter whether Lin Youlun chose Jiahe or Princess Jin, the other party had no reason to surrender immediately.
"Golden Harvest and Princess Jin both want to cooperate with me, so I'm thinking, why can't everyone sit down and talk about it?"
Shao Yifu stared at Lin Youlun's face, revealing a look that he couldn't grasp the essentials. He was so surprised by Lin Youlun's bold idea, not so much that he was not mentally prepared, but as if he was happily walking forward when his way was cut off by a door, so he was at a loss. …,
After a long time, Shao Yifu reluctantly reacted: "You mean, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess Cinemas merged together to form a new company?" ”
Lin Youlun said bluntly: "I am still young, so I want to ask the sixth uncle to be the initiator." ”
——
"You can't just leave it at that!" Pan Disheng slammed his fist on the desk, and watched Lin Youlun snatch the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line from his hand, and he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.
Cen Jianxun wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but seeing that Pan Disheng was angry, he finally chose to remain silent.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in, and saw that the boss was angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
"What are you doing standing there like a log? Hurry up and say something! "Pan Disheng doesn't like anyone now, and he wants to get angry when he sees people.
"Two gentlemen came from outside, saying that they were looking for the boss......"
Before the secretary finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Pan Disheng: "When will cats and dogs come to the door directly, are the people in the reception eating dry rice?" Even someone who comes wants me to entertain them personally, you go and ask them if they still want to do it? ”
The secretary lowered his head, his heart was full of grievances, Cen Jianxun couldn't stand it, so he stood up and asked, "Do they have an appointment?" Or do you say what your name is? ”
"It's the business card of the two of them." The secretary hurriedly handed over the two business cards in his hand as if he had been granted amnesty.
Cen Jianxun took it and took a look, his expression suddenly became solemn, he walked in front of Pan Disheng in three steps and two steps, and handed the two business cards to Pan Disheng.
"Cheng Meirong and Feng Binzhong, aren't they the partners of Lei Juekunjin Princess Cinema?" Pan Disheng quickly calmed down from his anger, he had never dealt with these two people before, and he couldn't figure out what these two people were doing when they came to him.
"Bring people in!"
The secretary turned around and was about to leave, when Pan Disheng suddenly changed his mind and stopped her, and he decided to go out to meet the two in person.
Pan Disheng personally came out of the office to greet him, which made Cheng Meirong and Feng Binzhong, who were waiting outside, feel a little surprised, but both of them are veterans in the mall, and they will not easily write their inner feelings on their faces.
Pan Disheng had already put on a smiling face at this time, "Boss Cheng and Boss Feng, the two of you are rare guests." ”
"I take the liberty to come to the door, and I hope Mr. Pan will not be surprised."
The two sides exchanged two polite sentences, Pan Disheng invited the two into the office, and after taking a seat, Cheng Meirong and Feng Binzhong both looked at Cen Jianxun who was standing next to Pan Disheng with their eyes and said nothing.
Cen Jianxun knew that Cheng Meirong and Feng Binzhong had something to say to Pan Disheng, but he didn't want to let himself hear it, so he said goodbye and left very interestingly, but when he went out, he couldn't help but guess in his heart, what did these two people come to Pan Disheng for?
