Shen Chong stood on the balcony, holding a cup of semi-cold tea, looking at the city lit up in the distance.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lunar New Year is coming, and 1979 is a complete pass......

Fortunately, before Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the things of the Academy Awards were done, and the rest were the details of the step-by-step.

When he initially proposed that Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai should award the best film, Luo Weiming insisted that it was absolutely impossible, but there are no absolutes in the world.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest occupy more than eighty percent of the Hong Kong Chinese film market, and all filmmakers and film critics in Hong Kong rely on Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai for dinner, and naturally regard them as high gods, and Shen Chong is different, he is also the boss, is the boss whose assets are calculated in units of 100 million, although his prestige and influence are not as good, but he would rather lose the pulsatilla, don't bully the young people, Run Run Shaw is 73 years old, Zou Wenhuai is 57 years old, and Shen Chong is only 1 year old, who knows what his achievements will be in the future?

As Shen Chong said, inviting them to present awards is not murder and arson, it's just an elegant thing, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, even if there is no entanglement of interests, the old guys are willing to sell their personal favors and win a good name for bringing their younger generations

Therefore, after Gu Liwei introduced the production plan of Oriental Charm in 19Ru, he mentioned it slightly, and Run Run Shaw agreed to attend the Academy Awards ceremony, in addition to being a guest, he will also receive the Lifetime Achievement Award - this kind of spiritual award of a conclusive nature does not need to be decided by the jury, and can be announced early, and as the most prestigious and qualified film tycoon in Hong Kong, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the first Academy Awards is none other than him.

After getting Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, the next is Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che, who presented the Best Director Award, these two are both award presenters and judges.

Li Hanxiang is sleek, sociable, and Hu Jinquan is a righteous brother, in his autobiography, he is sarcastic everywhere, even Run Run Shaw is not immune, but as long as Hu Jinquan is mentioned, there is not a word bad, it is full of beautiful words, Shen Chong only needs to ask Hu Jinquan to make a call, he will inevitably attend.

And Zhang Che is even simpler, as long as he finds someone to come to the door to talk about the benefits of the Academy Awards, he will gladly attend - Run Run Shaw is a pure businessman, Zhang Che is a pure filmmaker, he has no children in his life, neither loves money nor sex, and his heart and soul are all in movies, and he has cultivated five batches of "Zhang Family Class", and there are countless protégés.

Zhang Che is not good at management, after he is old, his family wealth is scattered, there is no drama to film, he lives alone in the dormitory of Shaw Brothers, he has written hundreds of scripts, even if he is seriously ill, a few months before his death, he still runs around, giving advice for Hong Kong movies that are in the future, waving the flag and shouting, Dillon went to see him and persuaded him to rest more, he refused, wrote a letter to break off friendship with him, it can be said that this is a big director with a pure film heart.

These two have made great contributions to Chinese films, and Shen Chong personally went to the door to invite, not for anything else, but for respect

Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn still have no news, if they haven't responded after the Spring Festival, Shen Chong won't wait, and directly replace, CAA showed up rapidly last year, signing several big stars, such as Sean Connery, as the starring role of UU7, the older the more charming the typical, to award the Best Actor Award, which is also a good choice.

However, even if the two leading actors of "Roman Holiday" gather in Xiangjiang, Shen Chong has to disassemble them and choose two stars in Chinese movies to match them, awarding the best actor and best actress respectively, these two Chinese movie stars, one is naturally Xia Meng, and the other, Shen Chong is ready to find Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan is the only surviving veteran of Chinese films, a legend and a living fossil, starring in "Angel on the Road" and "Cross Street" in the thirties, "The Crow and the Sparrow" in the 40s, "The Legend of Wu Xun" and Lin Zexu in the 50s, and "Eternal Life in the Fire" in the 60s are all classic business cards, especially "Angel on the Road" and "Cross Street", which are all world-class classic movies.

At the beginning of the 21st century, at the turn of the century, there were all kinds of inventory activities, among which "Asian Weekly" selected the "Top 1o Chinese Films of the Century", the Hong Kong Film Critics Society selected the "Classic 2oo - Best Chinese Film O", the Hong Kong Film Awards selected the "Best Chinese Film 1oo", the 5th Chinese Film Media Awards sponsored by "Southern Metropolis Daily" selected "1oo Chinese films", and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards selected the "Top 100 Films in Film History".

In the selection of five authoritative media across the Taiwan Strait and three places, a total of P8 movies appeared, among which "Angel on the Road" was all selected, "Cross Street" and Lin Zexu were shortlisted for the three media lists, "The Crow and the Sparrow", "Wu Xun 丨 Biography" were shortlisted for the list of the two media, and the brilliance of Zhao Dan's acting career can be seen.

Shen Chong naturally won't let go of such a movie bull, he went to his house when he visited cultural celebrities in Beijing last year, and Zhao Dan also promised to come to Hong Kong when it was appropriate.

The awarding guests of the four most popular awards are personally decided by Shen Chong, and the rest of the awards are handed over to the preparatory committee for liaison and invitation, and he will no longer interfere.

As for the formation of the jury, more than half of it has been completed.

The mainland system is special, as long as Shen Chong proposes it and the official agrees, the parties basically have no capital to handle it, so they don't need to think too hard.

When the Taiwanese five-member group went to Taipei, they had already done it all, and nine of the ten judges in Hong Kong have been done now, leaving only the legendary Zhang Ailing There is no news, but Luo Weiming has gone to Los Angeles, and the package ticket said that there will be news after the Spring Festival.

Among the ten judges in Hong Kong, in terms of cultural influence, in addition to Zhang Ailing, it is Jin Yong, for others, Jin Yong may not be easy to invite, but it is not difficult for Shen Chong, because he has a good relationship with Xia Meng, and as we all know, Xia Meng is Jin Yong's lifelong dream lover, and the name of her Jade Bird Film Company is Jin Yong's name, Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poem says: "Pengshan has no way to go, and the Blue Bird is diligent to visit", the meaning of which is self-evident.

With Xia Meng's connection, and after a little communication with Jin Yong, he agreed to participate in the judging panel of the Academy Awards, and said with a smile that he was a favor to Shen Chong - after Shen Chong's reputation rose, he only accepted an exclusive interview with "Ming Pao Weekly" in Hong Kong, and this interview was repeatedly quoted by other publications, including many foreign authoritative media, which made "Ming Pao" earn a lot of fame and copyright fees.

"What are you thinking?"

Shen Chong retracted his thoughts from wandering into the world, he looked back at Li Kaiyuan, and said, "It's nothing, just look at the night scene." ”

Li Kaiyuan handed him the steaming teacup in his hand, then half-propped up the wooden balcony guardrail with his arms, and asked, "Something?" ”

"No, it's just a cranky idea." Shen Chong shook his head and asked, "Yuan Yuan, why don't you like to watch movies?" ”

"Who said I don't love." Li Kaiyuan tilted his head sideways, glanced at him, and said, "When I was a child, I often secretly took you to watch my dad play movies, remember?" ”

"That was when you were a kid, and now you haven't been to the theater in a long time." Shen Chong said without a trace: "I thought you would grow up and not like it." ”

"Newspapers often say that movies are the opportunity to create dreams." Li Kaiyuan looked at the lights in the distance and said, "I was already in a dream, so why do I have to go to see others dreaming." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Movies are filmed and filmed, aren't they all wealth and love?" Li Kaiyuan said with a faint smile: "In this world, how many women are richer than me?" How many more women are there than my love? I just need to live a good life, play myself well, and do this dream well, so it's okay, why bother to watch others perform and act. ”

Shen Chong looked at her pretty face in a daze, and after a while, he said: "In addition to wealth and love, the movie will still play something else." ”

"It's just a shell." Li Kaiyuan took a look at the silk blown by the wind and said, "Didn't you say that being delicious and lustful is the instinct of human beings to reproduce and survive?" Movies always have to be played by people, as long as they are played by people, how can they jump out of money and love. ”

Shen Chong was surprised: "Have I ever said such a thing?" ”

"Didn't you say it, did you still say it? I'm not lustful" Li Kaiyuan sneered, stood up straight, and said: "Others film, either to make money or for women, you have been tossing for a year, and you are busier than the governor of Hong Kong, and you haven't made a few money, women...... Women still want me to help, you work so hard, for what? ”

"When you say that, I feel like a real failure in life." Shen Chong smiled bitterly, he held the teacup, and said: "I just like it, in life, I always have to do something I like, just like your father likes to do carpentry."

"If you like it." Li Kaiyuan hugged his arms, changed the subject, and said: "My mother asked me to ask you, she has a little spare money and wants to make some investments, what should I buy?" ”

Shen Chong drank tea and said, "Don't you just have to invest, isn't the toy factory going to expand the second phase of the project after the Spring Festival?" ”

"She wants to get money quickly." Li Kaiyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "The new factory in Shenzhen will not be put into operation for at least half a year, and she is always worried that the mainland will change its policies, so she does not dare to invest, besides, she only has four or five million Hong Kong dollars, and even if she invests in it, the rate of return is not high." ”

"The hot pot restaurant is so profitable?" Shen Chong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two stores, only a few months to make four or five million?" ”

"How can you make so much." Li Kaiyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I guess, it was the neighbors in the neighborhood who put together all the spare money and handed it over to her to make investments, who made the family a god of wealth." ”

"God of Wealth is a gimmick advertisement, it can't be taken seriously, I often trade at a loss." Shen Chong frowned and said, "If you lose, where will your mother's face go?" ”

"So you're going to have to give a good idea." Li Kaiyuan pursed his lips and said: "Or go invest and buy a few houses, housing prices have been rising, although it is a little slower, but it is stable." ”

"Real estate has always been a game of big fish eating small fish, and you can't buy a few houses for a few million, and you will be trapped when there is a storm." Shen Chong put the cup on the guardrail and said, "Give me the money, I'll take it and lend it a big fish, drink some soup after it, and earn some interest." ”

"Lend to whom?"

"Li Ka-shing." Shen Chong said with a smile: "He swallowed an elephant last year, after eating Hutchison Whampoa, his funds were tight, and he recently made a deal with Wheelock to pay a deposit of 500 million yuan in advance, and now he is financing everywhere."

"He's going to buy Wheelock?"

"How is it possible, you really think he is a human being, Hutchison Whampoa is enough for him to digest for many years, Wheelock is also one of the four major foreign companies, how can you say that you will buy it." Shen Chong shook his head and said: "Bao Yugang is desperately selling ships, Wheelock is desperately buying ships, and he is very short of money, so he adopts the method of joint venture, and Cheung Kong Industrial, each accounting for 5o shares, set up a real estate company, and sells its subsidiary's Federal Building and International Building in Central to this real estate company at an estimated value of one billion, Li Ka-shing needs to take 500 million yuan as a deposit, and then can be resold, and according to his assessment, these two buildings are worth at least 100 million, and the profit margin is amazing

"This kind of thing is a trade secret." Li Kaiyuan looked at him and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"I've been busy restarting Jiayi TV recently, and I'm looking around for shareholders." Shen Chong leaned on the guardrail and said: "I fooled Li Ka-shing a few times, he always shirked, and only nodded and agreed to buy shares before yesterday, but asked me to help him raise funds." ”

"Isn't he afraid that you will cut off his beard?"

"I'm not interested in real estate." Shen Chong smiled and said, "I have better projects to do." ”
