    November 24, Taipei.  (Note 1) "It's rare to see you so nervous." Shen Chong leaned against the door frame, fiddled with the small jade object in his hand, and joked: "I always thought you were very nervous, a girl who doesn't know the heights of the world."  "Go, who is this girl" Zhang Aijia said while swaying from side to side, looking at the image in the mirror: "Tonight is the Golden Horse Awards, and Elizabeth Taylor is presenting the award, and everyone is watching. Can I not be nervous? You  "Is this dress good?" "It's very good." Shen Chong praised without sincerity: "You look good in anything you wear." Zhang Aijia glared at him and said with a slight frown.  : "I think it's too gorgeous." "This is the Golden Horse Award." Shen Chong imitated her tone just now and said, "In a highly anticipated occasion, the more gorgeous the better, so that you can show off your beauty and charm."  "The Golden Horse Awards are not a dance hall, they are very solemn." Zhang Aijia had no idea what to do with him, and said hesitantly: "I'd better change into that little suit and skirt." "No." Shen Chong stopped him quickly and said, "That lady  It¡¯s professional. The Golden Horse Award is the only major award in the Chinese film industry. It only happens once a year. It¡¯s not a normal day for work. Just wear this dress. Wang Rongsheng made it for you. It¡¯s very suitable for receiving the award on stage.¡± (Note 2)  "How do you know I will win the award?" Zhang Aijia turned around half a circle, continued to look at the mirror, and said without confidence: "If I didn't win the award, but I was dressed like a peacock, people would laugh to death.  "Don't worry, you are a sure winner as this year's Golden Horse Best Actress." Shen Chong stuffed the toy into his pants pocket, walked over, stood behind her, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "It's pretty good. Just wear this."  Simple and elegant, it suits you very well.¡± Zhang Aijia pulled the folds of her clothes and asked curiously: ¡°How can you be sure that I can win the Golden Horse Award?¡± ¡°Because Elizabeth Taylor is coming.¡±  "What does it have to do with her not being able to win the award?" Zhang Aijia was puzzled and said: "The Golden Horse Awards organizing committee had already announced that she would be invited to present the award. At that time, "Crazy" had not been released in Taiwan. " "Before the Golden Horse Awards.  There has always been no host, only an emcee. Last year, we implemented reforms and created two hosts. "There will definitely be two hosts this year," Shen Chong explained. "As usual, there will be one male and one female host. The male one has already been decided by Jiang Guangchao."  But the woman is still undecided. Why? Just because Elizabeth Taylor is coming and we need to find a female host who speaks good English to facilitate communication. " "So what?" "You are so stupid.  He ruffled her short hair affectionately and said: "Besides you, who else can be used as an actress in Taiwan and who is good at English?" "There are many." Zhang Aijia said casually: "For example, Hu Yinmeng" "  Yes, Hu Yinmeng." Shen Chong stopped the conversation and said, "She has been in such big news with Li Ao recently. I heard that she was warned by Taiwan's cultural department, but the organizing committee also chose her to be the host tonight.  Isn¡¯t it obvious that people, instead of looking for you?  " Zhang Aijia understood. She smiled and said, "You are just trying to catch the wind. Maybe there are other reasons. Besides, besides Hu Yinmeng, there are many people who know English, such as Teresa Teng.  " " Teresa Teng is a singer, not a movie star. Moreover, her fake passport incident has not passed yet, which is more troublesome than Hu Yinmeng. The Golden Horse Awards invited her back to be a guest this time, which is already a great honor. How could she be allowed to be the host.  Shen Chong chuckled and said: "Of course there are many people in Taiwan who understand English, but there are very few who can act in movies, and even fewer who can shock the stage. After all, you are the most suitable host, but the organizing committee  But they didn't come to you. Isn't it obvious? Those old-fashioned people don't want to cause an ostentatious incident of being both the host and the award recipient.  " "It's nonsense.  " Zhang Aijia was dubious about this. She smiled and said: "You are so good at calculation, then you can do the calculation again, can "Crazy Heist" win the best feature film?  " Shen Chong immediately replied: "I can't get it.  "    "Why?  " "Because before I come to Taipei, I have to go to the Liberty Federation to write a letter of guarantee not to go to the mainland for filming. If I don't write a letter of guarantee, I won't have a visa.  Shen Chong laughed and said, "How can a boss who has been traveling to the mainland for a month or two win the best movie for a movie he invests in?"  Sister An will probably be implicated by me this time, and her trip to Taipei will be in vain.  " After finishing speaking, Shen Chong looked at his watch and said, "Beauty, stop wallowing in self-pity.  Now that we are leaving, we have to go to the hotel to pick up Sister An and the others. It will be too late if we don¡¯t leave.  " Zhang Aijia looked at the mirror for a few more seconds, then grabbed her handbag and walked out. As she walked, she said: "You only think too much. The Golden Horse Award is not the Executive Yuan. How could there be so many awards?Governance?  " "To us, a movie is a movie, to those old guys, everything is politics" Tonight is the 16th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and "The Heist" won the "Best Drama Film",  "Best Feature Film Director", "Best Feature Film Actress", "Best Feature Film Original Screenplay", "Best Feature Film Cinematography", "Best Feature Film Editing", "Best Feature Film Score", etc.  Seven nominations. Influenced by the perception of later generations and the sluggishness of Taiwanese films, Shen Chong did not attach much importance to the Golden Horse Awards in terms of influence and authority. However, in 1979, the Golden Horse Awards were the most important in the Chinese film circles across the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan.  The only grand prize, this time "Jade Lady" Elizabeth Taylor was specially invited to present the award. Zhang Aijia said that it has attracted much attention and is indeed worthy of it. The Taiwan market is an indispensable part of the Hong Kong film industry chain, and Hong Kong filmmakers are very important.  Therefore, those who were shortlisted for the award, such as Xu Anhua, Chen Yunwen, and Tan Jiaming, all rushed to Taipei, and no one was absent. Zhang Aijia was wearing a dress and it was not convenient to drive. After she got into the passenger seat, she complained: "  It's better for you men to be comfortable. You can always wear a suit wherever you go, so you don't need to be particular about it.  " "Suits are also very particular.  Shen Chong started the car and cried, "Last month in the United States, I was forced to order two sets of suits, each costing 5,000 US dollars. These tailors are really evil. If they make eight out of ten suits,  Yes, it must go bankrupt.  " "What does $5,000 mean to you?  Zhang Aijia was disdainful and said with a smile: "You are a world-class rich man who was on the cover of Forbes. I heard that before you came to Taipei, you bought a building in Hong Kong. It was much more expensive than the suit you are wearing."  " "It's just a small building, only 7 floors.  Shen Chong said lightly: "The main reason is to put the magazine and the film company together so that we don't have to travel around in the future and it will be more convenient for work."  " "Your film company and magazine combined don't have 100 employees, right?  Zhang Aijia felt sorry for him and said, "You can just rent one floor. Do you need to buy a whole building?"  " "I am a rich man and I am not short of money.  Shen Chong said while driving: "In addition to movie magazines, I recently bought a newspaper and two magazines, and the film company has also recruited many new people.  " "You bought a newspaper?  " "Yes, "Xinbao".  Shen Chong looked straight and said: "There are also "Far Eastern Economic Review" and "****".  ¡± "The Economic Times" is the abbreviation of "The Economic News". It is the first newspaper in Hong Kong to focus on financial news. It has wide influence and is considered to be one of the most credible and authoritative newspapers in Hong Kong. "  Far Eastern Economic Review and **** are two international current affairs political and economic magazines published in Hong Kong. Their readers are the middle class and working elites who understand English. They have hundreds of thousands of copies in circulation and subscribers all over Asia.  There are also many readers in North America, and they are very influential. Zhang Aijia has a well-off family and flies back and forth between Hong Kong and Taiwan all year round. Naturally, she is very aware of the value of the magazine mentioned by Shen Chong. She was surprised and asked: "  Haven't you been in the Mainland recently?  When and how did you acquire these publications?  " "Acquired through HSBC.  Shen Chong explained: "As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. I went to the door to buy it myself, but no one paid any attention to me. But with HSBC, it was settled in a few words."  " Zhang Aijia was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After a while, she asked: "Are you planning to develop into the financial world?  Will you make movies again in the future?  " Before Shen Chong could answer, she added: "But, you have such a strong ability to make money. It would be a pity not to go into finance. Ten years of hard work in making movies is not as much as what you can earn in ten days on Wall Street or Silicon Valley.  " "You, you, where are your ears?  Shen Chong laughed and said, "Didn't I just say that the film company has hired a lot of people. My main business is still movies. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."  " "Go, who wants you to take care of it?  Zhang Aijia rolled her eyes at him and said, "I wish you could make more money to support me. Be a rich aunt and spend it on whatever you want."  " Hearing this, Shen Chong glanced at her and said nothing. "By the way, I heard from Sister Ling that when you went to the mainland this time, you brought Director Hu with you?  " "You women just love gossip.  Shen Chong sighed and said, "I specifically told you not to spread this matter to anyone else, but she actually told you."  " "Tell me what's wrong?  Zhang Aijia was unconvinced and said, "Why can't I know?"  " "You know it's okay. If she doesn't tell you, I will tell you later, but it's not convenient to talk about it now.  Shen Chong reassured: "Director Hu has several properties in Taipei. If the news leaks out and is blocked by the government, the loss will be huge."  "    "You reallyAre you planning to let him go to the mainland to film?  Zhang Aijia was very worried and said: "If you go to the mainland to film, you will definitely be blocked by Taiwan. It will be very troublesome then."  " "Yes, so I asked Director Hu to deal with all the industries in Taipei first, and then talk about filming in the mainland.  " Shen Chong parked the car in front of the hotel where Xu Anhua was staying. He was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He explained: "Director Hu went to the mainland and received a very warm welcome. He grew up in Beijing, and this time he found a friend who had been away for a few years.  My sister of ten years doesn¡¯t even want to go back to Hong Kong.  " "You didn't bring it with you.  Zhang Aijia rolled her eyes at him angrily, sighed, and said, "The current situation is really troublesome. You have to be careful when making a movie."  " "Anyway, don't spread this matter out yet.  Shen Chong warned, and then said: "You are wearing a dress, so don't come out. I will go find Sister An and Sister Yunwen."  ¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Note 1: The specific date of the 1979 Golden Horse Awards was not found. This date needs to be set for the plot. Note 2: Wang Rongsheng is a famous model and fashion designer in Taiwan.
