Chapter XXXII List

Yamaguchi Baihui got up in a panic, washed up in a hurry, and then hurriedly put on the crossbody bag, walked out of the house, put on headphones, listened to music, and then became happy, and happily shuttled through the crowd all the way, and finally walked into the Recreation Building.

"Mr. Shen." After watching the sample, Zhu Jiading hesitated and said: "This, as an advertisement, is very qualified, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the movie." ”

"It matters." Shen Chong controlled the projector and replayed it, and in the process of playing, he pointed to the people Yamaguchi Baihui met on the road and said: "This, this, this, they are all robbers, and the last one, the gentleman who smiled at the door of the building and Yamaguchi Baihui, is the leader of the robbers." ”

"But the audience doesn't know." Zhu Jiading retorted: "In the eyes of the audience, these are just ordinary pedestrians, and they will not have any associations with movies. ”

"That's right, so I'm going to shoot a series of commercials, divided into different chapters, this is the heroine, there will be the male protagonist and the robber, if the three are played in turn, the audience will have a concept of the movie

"The creativity is good, but then the focus of the ad becomes the film." Zhu Jiading put down the notebook in his hand and said, "Sony may not agree." ”

"Each advertisement, taken out and played separately, is a simple aIkmau advertisement, and together it is a movie advertisement." Shen Chong played the sample again, fixed Anthony Hopkins' elegant and evil signature smile on the screen, and said, "Is this smile tempting enough?" ”

Zhu Jiading stared at the screen, and after watching it for a while, he said convincingly: "This person's acting skills have entered the realm, and he is the most charming villain I have ever seen. ”

"You can show this sample to Sony's contact person first, and see what his attitude is." Shen Chong turned off the projector and said, "If Sony agrees, then design the soundtrack and copywriting, if not, let's think of new ideas." ”

"Okay."

"Let's go, I'll go back to the company with you." Shen Chong stuffed his belongings into his backpack indiscriminately, and after lifting them up, he said, "After staying up all night here, my head is big." ”

"Mr. Shen, even if it's Sony, you don't need to shoot the advertisement in person, right?"

"It's just a hobby." Walking out of the test screening room, Shen Chong squinted his eyes and adapted to the sunshine, and said self-deprecatingly: "Originally, my ideal in life was to be a film director, but my talent was limited and I achieved nothing. ”

"Mr. Shen has made a movie?"

"yes." Shen Chong yawned, and said as he walked: "I filmed in September last year, I tossed blindly, and I didn't know the essentials for a week or two of filming, and finally I asked Fang Yuping to help me finish the shooting. ”

"Since it's been filmed, why isn't it released?"

"After the shooting, I was busy coming and going, and I didn't have time to do post-production." Shen Chong let out a long breath, and then said: "After the Spring Festival, find a time to cut it, and then take it to the Hong Kong International Film Festival to be screened." ”

"When the time comes, remember to give a notice, and I'll go to cheer." Zhu Jiading said with a smile: "Mr. Shen dares to be screened at the international film festival, it must be a good movie." ”

"Seriously, I don't know what that movie is like." Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Now the impression is a little blurry, I can only say that the creativity is good, as for whether it is good or not, I have to cut it out and add music to know it." ”

Back at the company, Shen Chong slept in a daze on the sand in the office for a while, and was woken up by Gu Liwei's notification voice, Chen Baisheng and Luo Weiming came together.

"Boss Shen, look at your red eyes, you did something bad last night?" As soon as they met, Luo Weiming laughed and said: "Da Shao, it doesn't matter if you sing every night, but you should pay attention to your body, and you will be able to stand tall." ”

"I sing every night, I spent all night in the printing factory last night, and I spent ** with film." They are all old friends, and Shen Chong doesn't need to care about the image, he brushed his head casually, picked up the teacup, took a big sip, and then said: "Say something quickly, I'm sleepy, and I will fly to Taipei at night." ”

"We have preliminarily drawn up a list of shortlisted films for the Academy Awards." Chen Baisheng took out two copies of the document from his briefcase and said, "There is also the invitation list of the jury." ”

Shen Chong took it and asked while watching, "What about the list of guests and spectators of the award ceremony?" ”

"The guests are still in contact, and in terms of viewing the ceremony, it is still difficult to decide." Luo Weiming sat on the sand and asked, "You have to decide on the shortlisted films first, and then you can know how many filmmakers will be present, and the remaining seats can be allocated to the audience." By the way, how many people from the mainland are going to attend the award ceremony? ”

"The mainland has confirmed that it will send ten films to participate in the election." Shen Chong browsed the list in his hand, and then said: "In this way, there are more than fifty films that have been preliminarily shortlisted, which are too many and need to be streamlined." ”

"In order to avoid missing pearls, as long as someone nominates, they will be on the list, so there will be so many." Chen Baisheng explained: "After the mainland copy is sent, our organizing committee will watch it intensively, and at least half of it will be eliminated. ”

Shen Chong nodded, and after he looked at the list again, he said: "There were not many good movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan last year, I estimate that the ten films in the mainland can basically enter the final review process, assuming that there will be ten people to attend the award ceremony for a film, and leave a hundred seats for them." ”

"Not that exaggerated, right?" Luo Weiming flicked the cigarette ash and said: "There were indeed not many good movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan last year, but there were not no high-level ones, "Crazy Robbery", "Pointing Soldiers", and "Butterfly Change" are all very well-known, and the level of the mainland's film industry is still in the fifties and sixties. ”

"A film award, the most eye-catching, there are only four, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Film, and the Technology Award is an industry award, and the audience doesn't pay much attention to it." Shen Chong put down the list of movies, picked up another copy, and said: "You must know that the criteria for participation in the Academy Awards are films released in 1979, not films produced in 1979. In the past ten years, the mainland has produced a lot of movies, but they cannot be released due to political reasons, and a large number of them were lifted last year. ”

"However, the mainland uses film as a propaganda tool, and the ideology and didactic mentality are too strong, which weakens the artistic value and humanistic attributes." Luo Weiming retorted: "This kind of movie is not popular. ”

"Having said that, mainland filmmakers regard filming as art, and Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers use filming as a tool for eating." Shen Chong picked up the pen and said while drawing circles on the jury's list: "A rigorous attitude can produce great movies." Lao Luo, do you want to bet with me that the best film at this Academy Awards will go to the mainland or stay in Hong Kong? ”

"Okay." Luo Weiming extinguished the cigarette butt and said: "I bet on the best movie to stay in Hong Kong"

"Lao Luo, you will lose this bet." Chen Baisheng took out a cigarette case, handed him a cigarette, and said: "It is completely up to Ah Chong to decide who the jury consists of, and he can decide the best movie as long as he does a little trick." ”

"I'm not that dirty." Shen Chong laughed and said: "Lao Luo just took out all his belongings to make gambling money, and it can't compare to the reputation of the Academy Awards in my heart." ”

"It's just a nice talk." Luo Weiming lit a cigarette and said, "The quota on the jury is set to death, how can you manipulate it?" Even if you can manipulate the jury, you can't manipulate the audience and decide the final award. ”

Shen Chong smiled, the system is dead, people are alive, if you really want to manipulate the awards, there are methods, but since even Luo Weiming believes that the Academy Awards cannot be controlled, it shows that this system is still quite credible.

"I think that's how the jury should be formed." Shen Chong counted the list of judges invited in his circle, and then said: "The mainland and Taiwan each invited two directors, two media film critics, and one professional and technical personnel, while Hong Kong invited five senior film critics, three well-known directors or producers who were not shortlisted for the award, and two professional and technical personnel. ”

"I think it's a good ratio." Chen Baisheng pondered for a while and said: "If there are nine professional film critics, they should be able to judge the artistic value of the film fairly." ”

"Lao Luo, what do you think?"

"I'm okay with that." Luo Weiming flicked the cigarette ash and said with a smile: "Boss Shen, say hello in advance, I want to enter the jury." ”

"Five Senior Film Critics in Hong Kong." Shen Chong wrenched his fingers and said one by one: "Shi Qi, Shu Qi, Zhuo Botang, Shu Ming, Lin Niantong, it seems to be full." ”

"Zhuo Botang used to study at a university in Taiwan, and now he is the editor-in-chief of the Taiwan branch." Luo Weiming was anxious and said: "Even if he wants to be a judge, he should be a Taiwanese film critic, right?" ”

"Okay, he doesn't count, what about Brother Chen?"

"Bai Sheng doesn't count." Luo Weiming didn't even want to have a relationship, and said: "I'm not as good as him in organizational work, but when it comes to film criticism, he's not as good as me, besides, he's going to do the Hong Kong International Film Festival in April, how can he have the time to do the jury." ”

Shen Chong saw that Chen Baisheng did not refute, and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked; "Isn't the Hong Kong International Film Festival held in June and July?"

"It's ahead of schedule this year." Chen Baisheng took a puff of his cigarette and said with a little depression: "In order to stimulate tourism, the city council has rescheduled the film festival to be held during the Easter holiday in April. ”

"In this way, it coincides with the Academy Awards ceremony." Shen Chong touched his chin and said, "It's not a bad thing, one plus one is greater than two, it has a comprehensive effect, and it is beneficial to both parties." By the way, in the name of the Hong Kong Film Culture Center, did you apply to hold a film festival? ”

"The council said it could be considered." Chen Baisheng said: "Ah Chong, this matter, the municipal bureau is not the key, the key is Xu Shiren, as long as he is willing to come forward to speak, there is basically no problem." ”

"Illustrious family,?" This name is quite familiar, Shen Chong subconsciously repeated it, and then asked, "What does he have to do with the Hong Kong International Film Festival?" ”

"He served in the Urban Council, was previously the chairman of Studio One, and was one of the founders of the Hong Kong International Film Festival." Chen Baisheng introduced: "He has a prominent family background, has a close relationship with the Macau gambling king, and is very well connected in the political circles. ”

Hearing this, Shen Chong suddenly realized, Xu Shiren, isn't he the Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration who was later involved with Sun Hung Kai Properties and arrested on suspicion of corruption?
