    Li Kaiyuan was awakened by Shen Chong's motion to get up. She hummed twice, turned over, and asked with slightly dazzled eyes: "What time is it?" "Six-ten, you can continue to sleep." Shen Chong sat down.  Next to the bed, he touched her hair, put on his slippers, stood up and said, "I'll go out and play guitar for a while." "I'll get up too." Li Kaiyuan opened his eyes, sat up half-lying, and said, "  I'll go out for a run later. It's really weird. I've been so busy in the past six months and haven't eaten much. I've actually gained three or four pounds, and my belly is full." "There's nothing wrong with being a little fatter."  Said: "It's best if it's round and round. If it's skinny, not only will you feel nothing when you touch it, but you'll also have nightmares if you hold it at night." Li Kaiyuan rolled his eyes at him, leaned over, pulled over the pajamas that were thrown by the bed during the battle last night, and wrapped them around him.  After he was on his body, he lifted the quilt and said: "Stop playing the piano and come with me to exercise." "Are you hinting at something?" "Go, you men, you are always thinking nonsense." Li Kaiyuan sneered.  After making two noises, he got out of bed and said: "While you are young now, exercise more. Now that you have made so much money, you must have time to spend it. Didn't you say last time that the most tragic thing in the world is the death of a person?"  , Haven¡¯t you spent all the money? I don¡¯t want to be a widow in my fifties or sixties.¡± Shen Chong was speechless and could only say, ¡°Let¡¯s practice after the Spring Festival. I have to practice a few songs recently.¡±  "Just for fun, I'll need it later." Shen Chong sat on the bedside, looking at her beautiful back, and asked, "Are you free tonight?" Li Kaiyuan opened the closet and looked through it.  Looking for clothes, he asked: "What?" "I'm going to invite someone to dinner tonight. If you're free, come with me." "Who is it? I know him?" "I definitely know him, but I haven't seen him before.  Real person." Shen Chong touched his chin and said, "It's Teresa Teng?" Li Kaiyuan turned to look at him in surprise, but quickly frowned and said, "What else are you planning?"  What a ghost idea, absolutely pure." Shen Chong was helpless, stroking the stubble on his chin and said, "She once made a special trip to Boston to celebrate my uncle's birthday, and now she comes to Hong Kong to record a New Year's special for H. As a landlord, I treat her to a meal.  It's a thank you. Don't you like her songs very much? Let's go together tonight. " "What does liking her songs have to do with meeting her in person?" Li Kaiyuan thought for a moment and said.  : "Besides, I don't know what to say when I see her. Rather than being embarrassed, it's better not to meet her. The Li Kaiyuan sisters are two extremes. One has no interest in the entertainment industry at all, but the other is very interested in entering the entertainment industry. Shen  Chong stood up and said, "That's up to you. If you change your mind, call me again. I'll be at the film company all day long.  "    "Um.  Wait a minute, don't leave yet.  Li Kaiyuan picked up a suit and said to him: "Since we are going to treat guests, how about wearing this suit tonight?"  I brought it back from London last time.  " "Okay, that's it, it's quite formal, no tie required.  Shen Chong looked at it and said, "You can find it and put it on the bed. I'll wear it when I leave."  " Walking out of the room, Shen Chong took out his guitar from his study room, walked onto the balcony, facing Victoria Harbor, jumped up and did a few random exercises, and then sat on the cushioned wicker chair,  In the bright morning light, I was tinkering with songs from later generations. During the awards ceremony of the Academy Awards, some program transitions will inevitably be arranged.  , he planned to plagiarize a few songs of later generations to entertain both the public and himself. It is quite boring to make plans with a straight face every day and make a lot of money. You have to add some fun to your life As the saying goes, the song cannot leave the mouth, and the fist cannot leave.  Hands, he has practiced these pieces many times before, but he went to the United States around New Year's Day to work and stopped for a while, so he became a little rusty. Now he has to practice them again and again, and he feels that he is getting better.  At this time, the glass door was pushed open, revealing Tianbao's little head. "Brother-in-law, are you playing cotton here again?"  " "Go, go.  Shen Chong waved her hand away and said, "Go and play, I'm busy."  " "You don't have any musical talent, so don't mess around every day.  Tianbao walked out of the house, carefully closed the glass door, then stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the guitar and let me play it for you."  " "When did you learn to play the guitar?  " "Our school has music classes.  Tianbao took the guitar and said with a proud look on his face: "I learned to play it in three days."  " After she finished speaking, she sat on the wicker chair, adjusted her posture, and then bounced up and down. Not to mention, it was really decent. Although it was not very smooth, she was invincible in youth and the morning sun.  , a beautiful loli, with green little hands flying like butterflies through flowers, pleasing to the eye and extremely wonderful.After playing the song, Shen Chong applauded and praised repeatedly: "That's good, that's good, Tianbao, you are the most talented girl in our family." "Of course." Tianbao raised his head and put the guitar on the coffee table between the seats.  , complained: "Brother-in-law, do you know how powerful I am? From now on, sleep well in the morning and stop doing chores and disturbing people's dreams. " "You little girl, don't use idioms randomly.  Shen Chong laughed loudly. He picked up the guitar and asked, "This is my unique song. How can you play it?"  " "This young lady is very talented and smart. She can play it after listening to it once.  " "Blowing conch shells.  Shen Chong had a smile on his face. He plucked the strings gently and said, "Did you steal the sheet music I put in the guitar case?"  "    "so what?  "After being exposed, Tianbao didn't blush. He persisted and said: "Anyway, I learned it after watching it once.  " "Okay, okay, Tianbao, you are awesome.  Shen Chong played the chords casually and asked, "Tell me, what's the purpose of getting up so early?"  " "Brother-in-law, you are the best and considerate.  Tianbao behaved well and gave him a smile and said, "Can you buy me a guitar too?"  " "It's not a bad thing to buy musical instruments. Your mother won't buy them?  " "My mother wanted me to learn piano, saying that the piano is elegant and the guitar is a street toy.  Tianbao grimaced and said, "But I hate learning the piano. I like the guitar."  " "Why do you hate it?  Shen Chong looked at her strangely and said, "The piano is known as the king of musical instruments. It sounds very nice. I don't even have the chance to learn it."  " "You have to learn how to do it. The piano is not that good. It's big and heavy. You have to sit properly while playing. Only adults like you like it."  After Tianbao finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and said, "The piano is for others to listen to, and the guitar is for you to listen to. I don't want to be a puppet playing the piano for others."  " Shen Chong was dumbfounded by her artistic gestures and reasons. However, music does not matter whether it is elegant or not. As long as you are interested, he said: "In this case, I will take you to buy a guitar on Sunday.  " "Thank you, brother-in-law.  "Tianbao jumped up, blew him a kiss, and ran back to the house. Shen Chong looked at her back, smiled, and then continued to practice the music. The office building Shen Chong bought in Wan Chai was still being renovated.  , so the meeting location is still the conference room of Oriental Charm Film Company. After a morning of discussion on how to form the first Hong Kong Film Awards jury, it was finally decided to invite five highly respected people from the mainland and Taiwan.  The remaining fourteen members of the film industry are composed of local senior film critics, directors, actors and behind-the-scenes professional technicians. As for the voting method, it adopts a voting method similar to that of later world football players.  The judges can fill in the candidate list in order of one, two, and three. The first place will get 5 points, the second place will get 3 points, and the third place will get 1 point. The candidate film with the highest score will finally win the award. "Mr. Shen.  , there is another question regarding the voting method.  "An editor raised his hand and asked: "Should the vote be registered or anonymous?  " Shen Chongqiangang was dictatorial. After deciding on the core issues of the Academy Awards, he was no longer dictatorial. All details were handed over for discussion to create a fair and democratic discussion atmosphere. Hearing this, he asked: "Lao Luo, what do you mean?  Woolen cloth?  " "I think it's better to keep the name anonymous.  Luo Weiming looked at his notebook and said: "There are judges from the mainland and some from Taiwan. If the names are leaked, it will not be good for the judges themselves and they will be easily attacked politically."  " Shen Chong nodded slightly and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?  "    "I have.  "The editor just now raised his hand again and said: "If the names are anonymous, only mainland films will be selected for those from the mainland, and only Taiwanese films will be selected for those from Taiwan. This will hurt the participating films from Hong Kong and other regions, and cannot reflect the fairness and justice of the Golden Image Awards.  Spirit.  " "This is indeed a problem.  Shen Chong nodded similarly and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"  " "I think voting should be by name. Not only must the vote be registered, but each judge must also write down the reasons for their choice.  The editor swallowed and continued: "Of course Editor-in-Chief Luo is right. The current political environment in Mainland China and Taiwan is not free enough. In order to protect the reviewers, I suggest that in addition to the first reviewer, there should be an independent and neutral reviewer."  The chairman of the league is responsible for the preservation and organization of the votes. After the results come out, the votes will be destroyed immediately so that they will not be leaked.  Moreover, setting up a jury chairman also has the advantage that when two films have equal scores, it can play a decisive role.  "This editor is the one who showed off his superiority yesterday. Shen Chong was quite unhappy with him at first. But now that he heard this, he suddenly fell in love with talents. This guy is really considerate and has a high level of awareness - Chairman of the jury, this is not right.  Is it a position tailor-made for him? Whether a film award can become bigger and stronger, a fair, just and open selection process is the key, even if it cannot be done"Three Gongs" must also maintain the appearance of "Three Gongs" on the surface. In the Chinese film industry in later generations, there are a lot of various awards, such as Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao, etc. Among them, in addition to the Golden Horse Award, it is worth mentioning, and the rest  Who cares? The reason why the Golden Horse Awards is important is because it was reorganized in the 1990s, recasting the selection process, and creating an appearance of "fairness, fairness and openness" on the surface, so it was able to counterattack the Academy Awards and become the first in the Chinese film industry.  The First Prize Confucius said: If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not happen. If you want to create a fair, just and open atmosphere, first of all, the organizer of the film award must be fair, and in modern society, the most fair in the hearts of the audience  What is the organizer? Government events are shrouded in politics, and company events are hijacked by interests. Therefore, the best unit to run film awards is a non-profit organization "Movie Times" and "First Film Review" are both for-profit.  It's okay for a magazine to hold one or two Academy Awards, but once it gets bigger, it's easy to be criticized, so it's best to register a non-profit organization as the nominal sponsor. When a non-profit organization is operating,  There will be strict restrictions. After its establishment, the influence of wealth on the Academy Awards will be greatly weakened, but Shen Chong will never allow the Academy Awards to fall into the hands of others, so he needs to occupy a special position during the review process.  position and take the initiative. He needs the power to veto the award of a film that seriously goes against his wishes at critical times - such as "Hello, Cousin", this jury chairman meets his needs.  Shen Chong was secretly happy, but remained calm on the surface, and asked Luo Weiming again, "Lao Luo, what do you think?  " "This is a good idea.  Luo Weiming didn't think much and agreed: "A jury of more than twenty people should indeed have a chairman, Bai Sheng, what do you think?"  " "I think it's okay.  " "What did Chief Editor Lin say?  "    "I have no opinion.  " "OK.  "Shen Chong picked up the pen, wrote the words chairman of the jury on the memo, and then said: "This chairman, who do you think is suitable?  " When everyone was talking about it, the editor just raised his hand and said loudly: "Mr. Shen, you are the most suitable chairman.  " "I can't do it. I'm too young. How can I be the chairman of a group of seniors?  Shen Chong shied away and said: "And to be arrogant, "Crazy Heist" will definitely be shortlisted for some awards this year. If I am the chairman, it will not have a good impact and will disturb the spirit of fairness and justice.  " "This is not a problem. We can set up that the chairman does not have ordinary voting rights. Only when the scores of the two films are the same, can he come forward to decide the final award. With the voting method of the Academy Awards, this situation may happen.  The sex is very small, and even if there is Mr. Shen's movie, it can be avoided temporarily.  The editor talked eloquently, and then said: "Mr. Shen, the position of chairman is of great importance. You initiated the Academy Awards, and you personally made the plans. Only when you become the chairman can others feel at ease."  His words moved many people. Chen Baisheng immediately agreed: "Mr. Shen, He Shiguang is right. If you become the chairman, everyone will feel at ease." "I think it's good too." Luo Weiming put down his cigarette butt.  , said: "This chairman, to put it bluntly, is a handyman and a scapegoat. Boss Shen, you are young, capable, and have connections in both sides of the Taiwan Strait. You are the most suitable." "Okay then." Shen Chong is no longer being pretentious.  , while writing down the name of the editor on the paper, he said as a pretext: "I will take the blame for this first, and wait until a suitable person is found in the future, and then invite another expert." "To hold a film award, the three core things are  The first two links - qualifications, selection procedures, and award ceremony have been discussed, and now only the last one remains.  This topic had only been discussed for a while, and Shen Chong couldn't help but shake his head. The award ceremony is the most commercial part of all the links, and most of the people here are bookish and cultural people. They have conflicting opinions and make messy suggestions.  The system is either too simple and not grand enough, or it is too vague and inoperable.  He knocked on the table, and after everyone calmed down, he said: "About the award ceremony, let me tell you what I think." He stood up, walked to the presentation board at the end of the conference room, picked up a pen, and said while writing: "Awards  There are three main issues to consider during the ceremony. The first is the guest arrangement. The concert hall of the Hong Kong City Hall has only more than 1,400 seats and cannot accommodate too many people. It is not feasible to sell tickets, so in addition to the relevant staff of the candidate movies,  Outside the venue, I plan to adopt an invitation-only system for guests attending the ceremony. You can only enter with an invitation. You have to come up with a list of who should be invited. " "The second one is the TV broadcast. I have already contacted the live broadcast production of last year's Oscars.  The unit will be responsible for it at that time. As for the TV station, I have initially reached an agreement with H, but the details still need to be communicated. " "The third one is the selection of the host and award guests. The host is very important and must be solemn and serious.  , but also to entertain? Lively, the award guests must be carefully selected. In this regard, you must discuss a list.  " "Boss Shen.  After Luo Weiming listened, he raised his hand and said, "Should we imitate the Oscars and walk on the red carpet?"  " "This needs to be considered based on the actual situation after the American production team comes over.  Shen Chong said helplessly: "It's not like you don't understand the situation at the Hong Kong City Hall. It's not very suitable for walking on the red carpet."  " "I think it's better not to walk on the red carpet.  "Chen Baisheng said: "Walking on the red carpet has very high requirements for clothing and appearance. In the Chinese entertainment industry, no one has experience walking on the red carpet, so it is easy to make mistakes. If there is an accident during the live broadcast, it will be very troublesome.  " "Brother Chen is right.  " Shen Chong nodded. He walked back to his seat, sat down, and said, "But even if there is no red carpet ceremony, all those participating in the award ceremony must wear formal attire and write this requirement in the invitation.  "Mr. Shen, you are so difficult to deal with."  Luo Weiming complained: "Do you know how much a slightly higher-end dress costs?"  Those directors and starring actors can afford it, but how can the staff behind the scenes afford it? You can't film a movie for half a year just to enter the auditorium, right?  "    "fine.  Shen Chong crossed his hands, leaned back on the chair, and said lightly: "I will provide the dresses for all the shortlisted film staff, and I will also cover your dresses."  ¡± The conference room immediately burst into cheers.
