19ru, April U, Sunday, Academy Awards ceremony. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Hong Kong City Hall is not a venue built for large-scale indoor events, and there are some inconveniences in both the internal structure and the external space, so after several rehearsals, the organizing committee abandoned the red carpet plan open to the public for safety reasons, and replaced it with a semi-closed red carpet for the media and journalists.

In order to create an atmosphere and facilitate the photographers' photography, Shen Chong chartered a hall at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 500 meters away from the City Hall, arranged for all the celebrities and guests who needed to walk the red carpet to stay temporarily, and then used a courtesy car sponsored by a Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong dealer to take them to the City Hall in an organized manner.

When the clock hand was close to six o'clock, Shen Chong held Zhang Aijia, and then waved his hand to the nervous, excited, or quiet dressed men and women in the hotel lobby, and joked with a smile: "Everyone, as a pathfinder, I set off first, please keep in formation and don't get lost." ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and even a few old guys who had been serious and quiet couldn't help but laugh

After getting into the courtesy car, Shen Chong changed his relaxation just now, his expression was serious, and he tapped his thigh back and forth with his fingers without saying a word.

"How?" Zhang Aijia looked at him with strange eyes and asked, "Are you actually more nervous than me?" ”

Shen Chong smiled reluctantly.

"You're so thick-skinned that you're nervous?" Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "I've never seen you nervous, your expression is so strange." ”

"I'm not nervous, I'm worried." Shen Chong said with a wry smile: "I have been working hard for many months, and when it comes to the end, don't let anything go wrong." ”

"You, you can't wait to control everything in the palm of your hand." Zhang Aijia glanced at him and comforted: "You are so capable, and you have been carefully prepared for so long, you will be fine." ”

"If it were possible, I would have tied a rope to everyone and hid behind them." Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan have seen the Oscar report and also have the Golden Horse Awards as a reference, but those in the mainland have only participated in the award ceremony and the commendation meeting with determination, and have never participated in such an entertaining ceremony, I am afraid that they will make mistakes in their busyness." ”

"Yesterday's rehearsal went well." Zhang Aijia grabbed his hand and said, "There's nothing to worry about, who doesn't often face the spotlight when making movies?" There will be no stage fright. ”

"I'm not worried about stage fright, even if I fall and fall in the venue, it's just harmless tidbits." Shen Chong shook his head and said: "I'm worried that someone will say the wrong thing, you know, the current media like to take advantage of the wind and waves, and reporters are becoming more and more tricky, when asking questions, they often hide words in their words, mainland filmmakers have no experience in this area, it is easy to be recruited, once recruited, their careers will be greatly affected." ”

"Didn't you remind them to try to have as little contact with reporters as possible?"

"Reminder is reminder, this kind of flashy occasion, when you are excited, you will talk nonsense, and you don't know what you are talking about." Shen Chong looked through the car window, looked at the red carpet passage fenced with sponsor billboards outside, and said: "Forget it, do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, if something really happens, find a way to remedy it." ”

After the driver opened the car door, Shen Chong and Zhang Aijia just popped up, and immediately lit up a flash of lights, and both sides of the red carpet of just ten meters were crowded with reporters, there were hundreds of people.

Shen Chong had watched the live broadcast of various award ceremonies in his previous life, and had been to the Shanghai Film Festival to observe the scene, and he was a little experienced.

As soon as the two walked to the end of the red carpet, the second courtesy car happened to stop at the entrance, Liu Xiaoqing wore a gorgeous and complicated red princess dress evening dress, like a blooming peony, appeared in front of reporters, and immediately attracted all the flashing lights.

Zhang Aijia turned around and saw Liu Xiaoqing standing on the red carpet, with an undisguised smile, posing for reporters in various poses, and said a little sourly: "She is really exaggerated, and she dares to wear such a gorgeous dress." ”

"I admire her." Shen Chong touched his chin and said: "Her appearance is very in line with the aesthetics of the current mainland audience, blending simplicity and atmosphere, and has the ambition and courage to ignore the evaluation of others and chase fame and fortune

When Zhang Aijia heard this, she was very surprised, and couldn't help but look at Liu Xiaoqing a few more times.

"It's a pity that the current social environment in the mainland can't tolerate an outlier like her, and the bigger the ambition, the greater the controversy." Shen Chong saw that the third courtesy car had arrived, so he said, "Let's go, go in first." ”

Zhang Aijia is the host, and she wants to re-apply makeup and match her lines, and after Shen Chong sent her to the dressing room, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped.

"Ah Chong." Zhang Aijia asked with a little expectation and hesitation, "Won't you give me some hints?"

Shen Chong just wanted to speak, she stomped her foot, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't say it, go quickly, I don't want to know again." ”

Shen Chong laughed, Zhang Aijia was shortlisted for Best Actress for "Crazy Robbery", and was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress for "Legend in the Mountains", nervous expectations are inevitable, and the secrecy of the Academy Awards is much stronger than the Golden Horse Awards, except for him, who is the chairman of the jury, almost no one else knows the final ownership of each award......

There are two entrances to the Hong Kong City Hall, and guests who do not need to walk the red carpet can enter from the back door, and when Shen Chong walked into the concert hall, nearly half of them were already crowded, in addition to the staff being busy, many guests were also walking around and chatting with each other.

The concert hall has a total of 1,434 seats, of which 578 are in the front seat, which are allocated to filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait, including the members of the shortlisted film crew, 469 in the back are allocated to sponsors, and 387 are allocated to celebrities in various industries in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Wang, hello, hello."

"Boss Huang, Mrs. Huang, hello, meet again."

"Miss Ye, long time no see."

Shen Chong is also one of the guests of the award ceremony, so the seating arrangement is relatively high, he greeted people all the way, tossed for a while, and then walked to the third row of the front seat and found his place, and his next seat is Wang Yang, the head of the mainland delegation - the Academy Awards are non-governmental awards, Taiwan prohibits any official contact between the two sides of the strait, Hong Kong is in a sensitive period of return negotiations, and it is difficult for the mainland to send senior government officials to lead the team, plus Beijing Film Studio has two films shortlisted, so Wang Yang, who came to Hong Kong a few months ago, was sent over again.

"Xiao Shen, is it starting outside?"

"Yes." After Shen Chong said hello to Wei Baoguo and the others across the ocean, he sat down and said with a smile: "Elder Wang, after wearing this new clothes, I am a few years younger." ”

"Blind tossing" Wang Yang wrenched his face, shook his head and said: "Spending so much money, doing so many things, and holding an inconsequential award ceremony, you, you, are really working hard and money, and you don't know how to save." ”

"Spend your own money and let others say it." After laughing at himself, Shen Chong said: "Hong Kong is a commercial society, people are chasing fame and fortune, the more extravagant I do, the more talents I see, so that the publicity effect will be good." Wang Lao, believe it or not, after tonight, no matter whether "Little Flower" wins the award or not, if you take it to Hong Kong to be screened, I guarantee that the box office will be at least one million. ”

"We don't have the right to export films, let alone millions of box offices, even tens of millions of box office, and Beijing Film Studio can't get a penny." Wang Yang said angrily: "I feel more and more that what you said last year makes sense, if the screening system is not reformed, Chinese films will be struggling, and sooner or later they will have to wrestle." ”

If this great god really goes out and sends a letter to the State Council, maybe the mainland film reform will really open up, Shen Chong was secretly happy in his heart, but asked casually on the surface: "Elder Wang, after the cross-strait and three regions filmmakers seminar and exchange meeting, do you have any gains?" ”

"I have gained a lot, I have gained a lot, Xiao Shen, I don't like your award ceremony, but the seminar is really good, with depth and breadth, which is worthy of recognition." Wang Yang sighed and said: "The last time I came to Hong Kong, I just looked at the flowers, looked at the skin, went back and pondered carefully, and found that I didn't learn anything, this time is different, after in-depth exchanges with Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots, I feel that there are indeed many problems in the film industry in the mainland, and it should not be done." ”

"Then you're going to have to worry about it." Shen Chong arched his hand and said, "Boy, I'm waiting for good news." ”

Wang Yang was silent, and after a while, he said: "Xiao Shen, if you are from our Beijing Film Studio, how good it would be." ”

"Old Wang, you think too highly of me, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of Beijing Film Studio, if I go to you, I will just do ordinary miscellaneous tricks." Shen Chong laughed and said: ""Little Flower", "Look at This Family", the leading actors in it are all talented, much better than me. ”

"They can act, but they can't run a factory." Wang Yang said with some interest: "I'm this year, how many years can I be?" Now the factory is old and small, and I am anxious. ”

Shen Chong just wanted to speak, but someone tapped him on the shoulder, and then heard a hoarse voice say: "Chong Zai, it's a good scenery today."

As soon as he heard this title, he couldn't help laughing, turned around and said, "Uncle Zhan, you led such a beautiful and temperamental beauty as Sister Yanni on the red carpet, you are more beautiful than me." ”

Lin Yanni was just over thirty at this time, she was wearing a lake blue dress, young and delicate, and extremely eye-catching.

"Chong Zai, don't call me that, okay?" Huang Zhan, together with his confidante and business partner Lin Yanni, sat down behind him, and said with his signature laughter: "I am very happy to be an uncle to the God of Wealth, and I have no opinion at all, but you call Sister Yanni again, and you mess up the seniority, which is not good." ”

"When a man is old, he must accept his fate." Shen Chong said with a smile: "This is a beautiful woman in her early twenties, spring flowers, of course called sister, you are an old man in your fifties and forties, and you are an eggplant in autumn, not called uncle, what is it called."

Lin Yanni smiled, Huang Zhan was so bad that it was hard to say, he glared at Shen Chong for a while, laughed and laughed at himself, and said: "Boy, no wonder some people say that the more shameless you are, the more you earn, you are shameless enough."

Huang is good at tobacco and alcohol, likes to play and talk, and before Shen Chong crossed, he was also a character in the wine and smoke forest, and there were a lot of jokes hidden in his mind, his admiration for Huang Zhan in his previous life can be described as a surging river, endless, so after the crossing, deliberately made friends, the two smelled like each other, although they did not meet many times, but every time they met, they got along very happily, and they had a sense of confidant.

just chatting and socializing, and before I knew it, the time was close to 8 o'clock in the evening, and the Academy Awards ceremony was about to open.
