    As usual, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony is held in the Great Hall of the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. There are 35 rows of seats and 2,518 seats. It is the largest indoor gathering place in Taipei.  The Golden Horse Awards are hosted by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. They have a strong official color, so the atmosphere is solemn and solemn. There are no shows such as red carpets. Participants enter directly with invitations, which feels like a representative conference.  As an investor in "Crazy Heist", Shen Chong took the lead and walked at the front. As soon as he stepped into the door of the auditorium, he immediately heard a shout.  "Shen Chong is here!" Then a group of reporters rushed up, and the flash lights kept shining, which startled him.  "Mr. Shen, may I ask if you are on "Forbes"" "Mr. Shen, may I ask you as the world's youngest billionaire"  After Shen Chong came back to his senses, he squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that he was surrounded by  There were more than a dozen reporters who came up, either English-speaking foreigners or Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong reporters. Some were holding voice recorders, and some were holding shorthand notebooks. They were asking various questions.  Behind them, there were a bunch of Taiwanese reporters who looked at each other with hesitation and wanted to have sex but didn't dare.  "Everyone, everyone!" Shen Chong raised his hands for silence, and then said loudly: "This is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, not my personal press conference. Please give way and don't interfere with the award ceremony. I will hold it in the near future.  Press conference, if you have any questions, we will discuss it then. " "Mr. Shen, can you tell me the specific time of the press conference? " "Mr. Shen, you have invested in several movies. Is the film industry a knowledge economy?  Mr. Shen, what do you think of Elizabeth Taylor coming to the Golden Horse Awards? "" Shen rushed forward and found that reporters were gathered around him, with no intention of letting him pass. He wanted to retreat, but couldn't.  After going back, I had no choice but to stop and declare again: "Everyone, everyone, please give way, please respect the Golden Horse Award. There are a few ladies behind me, please be a gentleman" As he spoke,  But I was very surprised. This was the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and he was not Elizabeth Taylor. What did these entertainment reporters mean by blocking him?  ¡°And after time travel, the media reporters he met were all gentle and polite. This was the first time he encountered this kind of containment scene that would only be seen in later generations.  "Mr. Shen, is it possible for Taiwan to develop a knowledge economy?" "Mr. Shen, do you have any ideas about investing in Taiwan?" "Mr. Shen, what do you think of Taiwan's economic development prospects?"  Accepted by peers  Excited, Taiwanese reporters who were originally scrupulous also rushed forward. The scene was chaotic. The guests and participants who arrived in advance were stunned.  The chaos lasted for several minutes. A team of uniformed security guards rushed in and physically separated Shen Chong from the reporters. Then a balding middle-aged man hurried over and pulled Shen Chong out of the auditorium. He was full of emotions.  His head was sweating profusely and he said repeatedly: "Mr. Shen, please go to the backstage for convenience. Please go backstage to rest first." Shen Chong glanced at Zhang Aijia and others who had already retreated outside when they saw that the situation was not good, and spread their hands.  , said: "It turns out that I am a famous person."  After Shen Chong disappeared, normal order in the Great Hall was quickly restored.  According to the number on the invitation, she found her seat and after sitting down, Chen Yunwen patted her chest, looking shocked, and said to Zeng Lizhen next to her: "I have been reading newspapers in Taiwan these days, and they are all scolding the organizing committee for spending taxpayer money.  She was really wronged by inviting Elizabeth to present the award and overshadowing the Golden Horse Awards. Shen Caishen is the one who really came to steal the limelight of the Golden Horse Awards. " "Who made hundreds of millions in less than a year.  Not interested?" Zeng Lizhen smiled and said with a proud expression, "Even people like me who see the boss all the time want to know how to make money, let alone those reporters." "Sister Zhen, please" Chen.  Yunwen clasped her hands together and said, "After you find out Shen Caishen's money-making secrets, you must tell me." "I don't dare to ask." Zeng Lizhen changed her sitting position, folded her hands and said, "I dared to joke before.  I feel dizzy when I see my boss recently, and I don¡¯t dare to talk nonsense, for fear that he will fire me.¡± ¡°Sister Zhen, you are known as the ghost on the set, and those dragon and tiger martial arts masters who are not afraid of anything are all under your control.  , you don¡¯t dare to ask?¡± Chen Yunwen didn¡¯t believe it and said: ¡°Besides, you have produced all the movies produced by Oriental Charm since its establishment, and you are the mainstay of the company. How could Shen Caishen fire you?¡±  Are you worried about ghosts on the set?¡±Zhang Aijia, who was greeting and chatting with several Taiwanese filmmakers in the back row, heard this, turned around and interrupted, smiling and said: "Sister Zhen, your nickname is really majestic." "Those old fritters on the set." Zeng Lizhen gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what.  If you let me know who gave you the nickname, I won't let him go." "Aijia, don't cover up for your golden son-in-law."  Chen Yunwen put her head around, glared at Zhang Aijia, and said, "Sister Zhen, find a chance to ask." "If you want to ask, ask yourself." Zeng Lizhen shook her head and said, "I really don't dare to ask, you  Thinking about it, the boss has made hundreds of millions of dollars casually, so he will care about the small money of the film company? And now that the company has expanded its recruitment, it has hired more than 40 new people. If I get into trouble and get fired, I won¡¯t even have time to cry, right?  Everyone has the opportunity to work for a billionaire. "The company hired more than 40 people at once?" Chen Yunwen was surprised, "When did it happen?"  Collected a batch of people." "Who are they?" "It's very mixed." Zeng Lizhen explained casually: "Some are people who used to work in the TV station, some are people who have just returned from overseas, and there are a few.  They are from the mainland, so there are a lot of people. In my department alone, seven assistant producers came in at once, and even more people came in from the distribution department and the props department." "So many people came in at once." Chen Yunwen took a look.  Xu Anhua, who was sitting at the edge and socializing with others, then asked: "How many dramas does Shen Caishen want to film at the same time?" "The company currently only has the two dramas I have, both of which are in the late stages. Originally, Fang Yuping had one  The movie was about to be filmed, and the preparations were almost complete, but the boss said that it would not be filmed and would be filmed by another company. Zeng Lizhen frowned slightly and said, "There is not a new film in the recent production plan."  "What about the movie "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" that Sister An and I made?" Zeng Lizhen smiled and said, "I am not in charge of that movie. The boss is responsible for it personally. He said when did you change the script?  Filming will start whenever, the budget is not capped, and the personnel can be chosen at will." Chen Yunwen scratched his hair, sighed, and complained: "Although your boss is generous enough, he is even more annoying. I have been here for the past six months.  Qingshan Hospital has gone to Qingshan Hospital no less than ten times. The data collection is enough to build a library. The script has been revised six times. He is still not satisfied. He really can¡¯t live anymore! " "Hey, by the way, you go to Qingshan Hospital."  Castle Peak Hospital is a famous mental hospital in Hong Kong. Zeng Lizhen had a heart attack and asked curiously: "See that Jiang YuJiang Yu" "Jiang Yuliu." Chen Yunwen read out the name, sighed again, and said: "See you  Yes, I have seen him, but he is no longer conscious and cannot communicate normally. He must be looked after by a specialized doctor. It is a pity that a generation of talented people ended up like this. It is really pitiful. " "Who said it wasn't"  Before Zeng Lizhen could finish speaking, she was interrupted.  "Hey, may I ask, are you from the crew of "Crazy Heist"?" The battle caused by Shen Chong just now attracted the attention of the "Crazy Heist" crew. People from all walks of life in the auditorium came to inquire about the news and chat.  After more than half an hour, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, announcing that the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was about to begin.  After the audience was silent, the emcee announced the curtain, and the host came on stage to announce the official start of the 16th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, Shen Chongcai, led by the staff, hunched over and found his seat.  After sitting down, Zhang Aijia whispered to him and asked, "Is everything okay?" "It's okay, I just chatted with people backstage for a while." Shen Chong was in a good mood, with a smile on his lips, and said softly: "Although the spoilers are very  It¡¯s boring, but I still suggest that you quickly think of something to say when you receive the award later.¡± Zhang Aijia was surprised and happy when she heard this, her eyes brightening.  Shen Chong nodded slightly, curled his lips in Chen Yunwen's direction, and whispered: "And that guy can't escape from the contract of betrayal." "Did you guess everything right?" Shen Chong smiled proudly.  On the way to the Sun Yat-Senior Memorial Hall, Zhang Aijia mentioned that Shen Chong used political vision to predict that she would win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. Chen Yunwen scoffed at this, thinking that movies and politics are two different things, so she made a bet with Shen Chong on "Crazy Robbery"  ¡·How many awards can I win in the end?  If Shen Chong wins, Chen Yunwen will sign a ten-movie script contract with Oriental Charm. If Shen Chong loses, Chen Yunwen can choose a celebrity calligraphy and painting he got from Beijing.  By making this bet, Shen Chong can be described as a bully.  Chen Yunwen has been writing TV scripts for TVB before, and "Crazy Robbery" is her first?I am involved in the film industry, and I am a Hong Konger. I can't even figure out the origin of the Golden Horse Awards. I make rash bets and it is difficult not to lose.  Although the Golden Horse Award, like the Academy Awards, Golden Bear Awards, Palme d'Or and other film awards, all belong to the "gold" generation, it is not a golden "gold".  Jin is "Kinmen Island" and Ma is "Mazu Island". Both places are at the forefront of the confrontation with the mainland. The original intention of naming the Golden Horse Awards is to encourage the Taiwanese film industry to emulate the strong and hardworking spirit of the officers and soldiers of these two places.  , strive to break new ground Even the name has such a strong political color, and the ownership of the award naturally cannot escape the distribution of interests. This is also the Golden Horse Award, the only major award in the current Chinese film industry.  , because its credibility and authority have never been high.  Before 1978, the Golden Horse Awards always announced the winners before the awards ceremony. In 1978, after Song Chuyu took over as the acting "information director", he immediately took action on the Golden Horse Awards, imitating the Academy Awards, and implemented a two-stage review system.  , after the first stage review of all participating films, a meeting will be held to discuss, vote and announce the list of shortlisted films and individual categories, and then select the winners, with the final results announced at the awards ceremony.  Last year it was a trial run, and this year is the first official implementation. Although it seems very standardized, the members of the jury are all appointed, and the review process is not transparent. The soup is changed without changing the medicine. It is not much different from the previous political interests.  There are a total of 15 awards in the Golden Horse Awards. It would be difficult to guess them all, but as long as you guess the seven awards for which "Crazy Heist" was shortlisted, it is a piece of cake - Shen Chong is not sure about other years, but in 1979 there was Elizabeth-  Taylor, this year's Golden Horse Award winner, is very well-known.  For example, for the best movie, "The Kid" is definitely out of the question. This is the winner of "Small Town Story". The reason is very simple. "Small Town Story" is a commemorative work of Taiwan Popular Film Company's ten years of founding.  Dazhong Film Company is a private film company founded by Li Xing, Bai Jingrui and others. It has a very profound background, similar to the position of the Huayi Brothers in the mainland film industry in later generations. "Crazy Heist" is a Hong Kong film that can steal the top tenth anniversary production.  Limelight?  For example, for Best Director, Xu Anhua didn¡¯t get a chance either.  Chinese people have always had the habit of ranking according to seniority. Regardless of the quality of the film or just the seniority, Xu Anhua suffered a lot because Hu Jinquan was on the shortlist. Xu Anhua once worked as an assistant director for Hu Jinquan, and he was half of his apprentice. How could he be an apprentice?  Can you compete with Master? Besides, the quality of "Legend of the Mountain" is not worse than "Crazy Tribulation" at all.  Moreover, Hu Jinquan went to the mainland some time ago in the name of visiting relatives, which made the Taiwan authorities very nervous. As the only major director in the Chinese film circle who has won an international film award in Europe and has a high status in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles, if he  If he defected to the mainland and filmed for the mainland, it would be very detrimental to Taiwan's political propaganda.  So Taiwan needs to use the Golden Horse Awards to win over him.  As for the Best Actress, Shen Chong is so sure that Zhang Aijia can win it, but it has nothing to do with politics. He just remembers the history of his previous life - in 1979 and 1980, Zhang Aijia was the host of the Golden Horse Awards for two consecutive years.  She was shortlisted for Best Actress, but received nothing. In 1981, when she was at her peak, she was no longer the host, but ended up winning the Golden Horse Best Actress.  These three awards attract the most attention, have the strongest political atmosphere, and are also the easiest to guess. As for the four technical awards nominated for "Crazy Heist", except for the best soundtrack, Shen Chong was able to guess the remaining three, purely because of the current Chinese-language  The overall quality of the film is low and its competitiveness is seriously lacking. Once there is no political interference, the award can be determined at a glance.  For example, the best cinematography must go to "Legend of the Mountain". Hu Jinquan's movie, every shot is meticulously crafted and full of poetry and painting. No one can compete with this, and there is no dispute.  Similarly, "Crazy" has a multi-linear narrative structure that is completely different from all previous Chinese-language films, as well as sharp and fast editing techniques. It stands out among all the participating films, so there is no suspense for the best original screenplay and best editing.  .  These highly professional fields do not attract much attention from the public, and the Golden Horse Awards also need to use them to decorate the appearance of "professional" and "authoritative".  As for the best soundtrack, although it is also a very professional field, it is a pity that Shen Chong can only shout for Luo Dayou After the separation of Rolling Stone, the Duan brothers quickly released Luo Dayou's new album, and as expected, it was extremely popular.  The rebellious song made the government very angry. There was a lot of criticism in the newspapers. Only a week after it was published, it was banned from TV, radio and advertising. Fortunately, the Duan brothers were very active, so they did not  Sales are prohibited and recalled for destruction, but can only be sold in government-designated stores.  Due to various restrictions, the sales of the album have been very poor. Since its release, it has only sold more than 3,000 copies.  ThrillerIt's easy for a movie's soundtrack to be outstanding, and Luo Dayou did a really good job, but he is now a figure on the forefront, and it would be good to be shortlisted. If he wants to win an award, unless the sun comes out from the west.
