Yang Lin put on a black suit, looked back at Brooke Xiaosi curled up in a circle on the bed, pushed the door and walked out. The steps are brisk and refreshing.

The 5th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held in the rooftop ballroom of the Regent Hotel.

That is, the main filming location of "Die Hard".

Why did Yang Lin have to talk about Regent Hotel? Here's why. Just imagine, the venue of the Hong Kong Film Awards is about to be razed to the ground for the filming of the movie "Die Hard", is it a big gimmick? At least within the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards, "Die Hard" is even famous, attracting countless eyeballs and curiosity.

Everyone else walked the red carpet downstairs and entered the Regent Hotel. As soon as Yang Lin came out of the room, he came to the award ceremony of the Academy Awards.

The Hong Kong Film Awards is the highest award for Chinese-language films. In the future, it will join the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award and the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award, and become the three highest achievement awards for Chinese films. Even so, the status and influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards are still the highest in the Chinese film industry.

The Hong Kong Film Awards, which began in 1982, is an expansion and continuation of the annual film critics invited by the Film Fortnight to select the top 10 films. It is currently the most representative and authoritative film awards ceremony in Hong Kong.

In 1983, the Academy Awards began to be broadcast on television and its influence continued to expand. In December 1993, it was officially registered as the "Hong Kong Film Awards Society Limited", as a non-profit organization, relying on the annual copyright fees of television and radio broadcasts and overseas distribution income to maintain daily basic expenses. From the 8th in 1989. Hong Kong filmmakers' own organizations such as the Filmmakers Association, the Directors Guild, and the Screenwriters Guild have emerged, and the Hong Kong Film Awards have also begun to cooperate with the government, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. Although the cohesion and authority of the Academy Awards have deteriorated as the film industry has gradually declined, it is still a major event of concern for the entire Asian film industry, and the grandeur of its past is a testament to the indelible glory of Hong Kong film development.

As soon as Yang Lin walked over, he saw a middle-aged man in a straight suit.

Yang Lin walked up to the first few parts. Stretched out his hand and smiled: "Mr. Chen is really personable and handsome today!" ”

This person is Chen Bosheng, one of the founders of Hong Kong's "Film Fortnightly" and one of the initiators of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Chen Bosheng hurriedly came over and shook hands with Yang Lin first: "Speaking personable." Who would dare to compare to Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang, are you scolding me, why don't I go back and change another set of clothes? It's a pity that there is only one set of cabinets in the bottom cabinet. Forgive me! ”

Chen Bosheng is very funny. It was a small compliment at first. But he said it casually, and it wasn't a lie.

Since 1979, Film Fortnight has been published for six years. In the past six years, although the influence of "Film Fortnightly" has been increasing day by day, and its influence in the Hong Kong film industry is huge, its sales are really limited. Therefore, all expenses can be saved, and they can be reduced. There's no way, but why is it shy in your pocket?

In order to hold the Academy Awards ceremony. As the organizer, "Film Fortnightly" is even more sponsoring all over the world. Even so. The funds are still not abundant, and the award ceremony of a Hong Kong Film Awards is extremely shabby, which makes people uncomfortable to watch.

"You, you're really holding a golden rice bowl and asking for food." Yang Lin shook his head, he really didn't know what these people thought. has the film resources of the whole Hong Kong in his hands, and he actually got into a situation where he has no rice to cook, I really don't know whether it is pitiful or pathetic.

Chen Bosheng's eyes lit up, but he knew that Yang Lin was very good at making money, so he hurriedly asked, "What good idea does Mr. Yang have?" Let's hear it. "He was so worried about the money that he had gray hair, but he was still at a loss. Even the funding for this Academy Awards ceremony was made by him one by one. Where is it so easy to get a little money? You have to face people's ridicule, blame, and face, and you have to always greet you with a smile. Sometimes, Chen Bosheng even wondered why he had lost face so lowly?

Hong Kong cinema has grown to a certain scale and has a place in Asia and the world, but it does not have its own film festival, or even its own official organization. With its concern and sense of responsibility for the film industry, Film Fortnight organized a group of filmmakers to conduct the selection of outstanding films and outstanding filmmakers of the year, with the aim of commending outstanding filmmakers through selection and awards, and at the same time reviewing the achievements of films in the past year, hoping to promote the prosperity of Hong Kong films, improve the production level of filmmakers and the appreciation level of audiences.

This is the dream of "Film Fortnightly", the Hong Kong film dream of "Film Fortnightly".

In the distance, a lady wearing a blazer, her short hair neatly combed, and wearing glasses saw Yang Lin, so she smiled and walked over: "Mr. Yang, are you so early?" We haven't finished it yet. "She spoke loudly, heartily and neatly, with a bit of a manly air.

Yang Lin knew that this person didn't just look manly, he was really manly. The most famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is the same as the closet. Sexuality, Yu Zheng. It is said that this female man also lived with Wu Junru for a period of time, but the truth is unknown, anyway, in the end, Wu Junru gave birth to a daughter to Chen Jiashang.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "I live here, and the entire top floor auditorium of the Regent Hotel has been reserved by me for two months. Hehe, the rent paid by you at this Academy Awards ceremony went into my pocket. ”

Yu Zheng was obviously startled, opened his mouth, but did not speak. Rent the top floor of the Regent Hotel for two months? Oh, my God! The Regent Hotel is a five-star hotel, how much does it cost?

Chen Bosheng was even more directly surprised: "This has to be less money?" ”

This is the difference between a scholar and a businessman. Although Yu Zheng was surprised, he could hide it deep in his heart, but Chen Bosheng couldn't help but say it, and he didn't realize anything wrong.

Yang Lin looked at Yu Zheng with a smile: "There is not much money, but if Mr. Chen wants to develop this Academy Award ceremony, in my opinion, it will fall on the lady." ”

Chen Bosheng said curiously: "Why? ”

Yang Lin said: "Film Fortnight has all the film resources in Hong Kong, what do you think if a 'Hong Kong Film Awards Society Limited' was established to fully operate the copyright fees of television and radio broadcasts and overseas distribution, so as to maintain the basic daily expenses with this income? ”

What is it called? This was originally the trajectory of historical development, and the "Hong Kong Film Awards Association Limited" was established in 1993. But Yang Lin was established too late, and it didn't play its role at all, so it should have been established earlier.

Chen Bosheng scratched his head: "Hong Kong Film Awards Co., Ltd.? Can you make money? "He's a complete scholar, and you're absolutely sharp and sharp when you ask him to edit news and write reports, but when it comes to business, he's a layman.

But Yu Zheng is different. Yu Zheng is not only one of Hong Kong's gold medal emcees, but also a versatile media creator in Hong Kong, erudite and talented, and is known as a talented woman in Hong Kong by the media along with Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, Dina, Shi Nansheng, etc. Now working in Commercial Radio, it seems that in a few years he will become the CEO of Commercial Radio Hong Kong. is considered an elite among the elite, if she organizes the award ceremony of the "Hong Kong Film Awards", Yang Lin thinks that she can make the best use of it.

Yu Zheng looked at Yang Lin with some surprise, obviously very excited.

Yang Lin laughed and patted Chen Bosheng on the shoulder: "If you don't make money, you can have a good chat with Ms. Yu in the future." However, since you have worked so hard for Hong Kong films, as a member of Hong Kong films, I naturally cannot remain indifferent and indifferent. In this way, the advertisement of your "Film Fortnightly", we Red Star Pictures have been bought out for ten years, and each issue must have a fixed layout, how about it? ”

How is it? Chen Bosheng is going crazy!

Think about the publication of this issue of "Film Fortnightly", there are only five or six advertisements, a few thousand yuan each, which together is barely enough for employees to eat. How can it go on like this? The original intention of the Hong Kong Film Awards was to use its influence to drive the sales of "Film Fortnightly". He knows that the prosperity of Hong Kong films is coming soon, and the spring of "Film Fortnightly" will follow one after another.

But who knows what kind of horse this "right away" is? If it's a lame horse, I'm afraid it hasn't come yet, "Film Fortnightly" has gone bankrupt and closed down.

Buyout for 10 years!

Chen Bosheng swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously and expectantly: "How big is the layout, and how much is each issue?" ”

His eyes were full of expectation and apprehension, and he was afraid that Yang Lin would say a word: Just crack in the middle!

Yang Lin thought for a while and stretched out two fingers: "200,000 a year, how about half a page?" ”

Think about the previous life, with the arrival of the golden age of Hong Kong films, a frenzy of Hong Kong films has been set off since a "True Colors of Heroes", and there are countless movies with a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. At this time, "Film Fortnightly" sold 1340,000 copies per issue, and 5,000 copies per issue were exported to Japan alone. The four major cinema chains are competing for advertisements in "Film Biweekly", which costs countless money. took advantage of a small advantage, and supported the development and growth of "Film Fortnightly", killing two birds with one stone, each taking what he needs.

Chen Bosheng's face was flushed with excitement, and he held Yang Lin's hand and said, "Great! That's great! You're the savior of our Cinema Fortnightly! ”

Yang Lin touched his nose with his other hand, a little embarrassed: "Now it seems that the price is quite high, but your "Film Fortnightly" will develop, maybe I will be really cheap for you in the future." ”

Chen Bosheng patted his chest and looked righteous: "Then I will admit it!" The icing on the cake, where is the better place to be in the snow? You have a friend, I'm done! ”

Yu Zheng on the side was smiling at the corner of his mouth, watching Yang Lin act. But I have to admit in my heart that this is really selling people, and I have to help count the money, or the kind that knows it well and is willing.

High, really high! (To be continued......)
