    "According to the rules set at the last meeting, the four most popular awards, Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor, are jointly selected by the audience and the jury. Other professional awards are independently selected by the jury.  "After reading the list from beginning to end, Shen Chong said: "Let's make a special issue of the Academy Awards based on this list. When can it be ready?" "I'm afraid it's too late before the Spring Festival." Chen Baisheng calculated the date.  Said: "It should be around February 25th, before the last issue of "Movie Times" in February." "That's okay." Shen Chong nodded and said, "After you finish it, give it to Lao Luo.  Let him be responsible for the distribution and printing of votes in "Film Times" and "First Film Review". "Okay." Chen Baisheng stood up and said, "I'll send it to you."  When he went out, he said sincerely: "Brother Chen, thanks to you, otherwise, the Academy Awards would not be possible this year." "Don't say that, I'm just doing some trivial things." Chen Baisheng humbly smiled.  Then he said: "Without Ah Chong's planning and investment, where would the Academy Awards come from? If I do the Hong Kong International Film Festival, I won't get a dime. If I do the Academy Awards, I get a monthly subsidy of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.  If you don't do it well, how can you face others?" Shen Chong chuckled.  ¡°He said that without Chen Baisheng, he would not be able to win the Academy Awards, and that was not a lie.  If we were only doing the "Hong Kong Film" Academy Awards, Shen Chong would have no pressure and could finish it in two months at most. It would never be like now, where the preparation period of four or five months would still be chaotic and make mistakes everywhere. But  What is the significance of that kind of Academy Award?  There were only four or five films worth mentioning in Hong Kong in 1979. To judge the best film among a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes, it¡¯s not a criticism At the beginning of last year, when Shen Chong just acquired "Film Fortnightly"  , had the idea of ????establishing the Academy Awards, but has been holding back, because without the participation of the mainland, there is not much difference whether the Academy Awards will be held one year earlier or one year later. Therefore, until the Film Workers¡¯ Congress in November, he  After confirming that mainland filmmakers were interested in participating in the competition, the Academy Awards preparatory committee was launched.  After expanding the scope of awards to the entire Chinese film industry, the troubles have doubled. The systems and objective conditions of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are different, and there are obstacles everywhere, especially in the mainland. There is not even a program-controlled telephone, and you have to wait for a day or two to make a long-distance call.  days, coupled with the scarcity of flights and the slow speed of trains, what could be done in one day in later generations may not be done in half a month in this era.  In just two months, Chen Baisheng organized people to collect information, formulate the selection rules for the Hong Kong Film Awards, select the shortlists for major awards, communicate with the Hong Kong City Hall, arrange various details of the award ceremony, and also  I have to help the Hong Kong International Film Festival, keep everything in order, and prepare the shortlist of candidates in advance. It is a great achievement for hard work.  After Chen Baisheng left, Shen Chong returned to the secretariat and said: "Vivian, ask Ajun to wait for me downstairs." After he looked at Gu Liwei, he asked: "Is this year's company production planning meeting going to be held?"  Did you make the record?  "    "Yes.  Gu Liwei picked up the phone and dialed the number while asking: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"  " "Do you still remember the content of the production plan?  "    "Remember.  " After she finished the call, Shen Chong said: "Then find the plan and come with me to see Run Run Shaw later.  "    "I also need to go?  " "When others go to worship at the top of the mountain, they always bring a group of younger brothers to build momentum.  Shen Chong nodded with a smile and said, "I don't have a younger brother, so I have to bring a secretary to make up for it."  " Gu Liwei has been a secretary for more than a month and has become familiar with Shen Chong's speaking style. She smiled softly, stood up quickly and packed the documents on the table, and said: "Mr. Shen, the plan is in the production department manager's office. I  Go and get it now?  " "Okay, you go.  Shen Chong looked at the time and said, "I'll wait for you below."  "Downstairs, after getting into the car, Shen Chong took out the Academy Award nominees list from his pocket and thought wildly with interest. "According to the convention of general film awards, there are only five nominees for each major award. This time the final list is  The reason why we have ten best films is to balance the desperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. Taiwanese films are sluggish. If there are only five shortlisted places, before Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang mature, in two or three years, Taiwanese films will not even have a chance to make a difference.  No, if the sense of participation is too weak, it will weaken the popularity and influence of the Academy Awards in Taiwan. Although mainland films have been through many hardships and devastation, after all, they have a big family business, and there are still three pounds of nails to break the boat, such as Xie Jin, Xie Tieli and other veterans.  There is still the power to fight again. At the same time, when making movies in the mainland, there is only political pressure, not commercial pressure. As long as the topic is chosen correctly, it can be crafted carefully, so the quality of the film produced is not bad, and it is not inferior to the original film.  During the period of transformation, Hong Kong films were in short supply. This time, five films were shortlisted from the mainland, while only three were from Hong Kong. This is evidenced by the fact that Hong Kong¡¯s three films, "The Robbery", were shortlisted.The copyrights of "Kongshan Lingyu" and "Kongshan Lingyu" are all owned by Shen Chong, only "Dianzhi Bingbing" is not, which makes him quite regretful.  "The Soldiers" is one of the masterpieces of the New Wave, and is known as the pioneer of Hong Kong's modern police and gangster shootout films. Shen Chong was originally very interested in investing, but before he went to Huangshan, Teddy Robin and Zhang Guoming were still  He was tinkering with musical movies, and when he came back, the filming of the movie had already started - the so-called musical movie ran out of money not long after it started shooting, so Teddy Robin went to invite his old classmates, the Hong Kong business community  Celebrity Liang Li Shaoxia dined at the Zhucheng Hotel and tricked her into investing. Liang Li Shaoxia was a heroine among girls. She was very cool. She borrowed the name of the hotel on her chopsticks to establish a film company called "Zhucheng" and then invested in it.  With a sum of money, Teddy Robin felt a lot of pressure, and after some discussion with Zhang Guoming, he gave up the idea of ??making a musical movie and switched to making his best police movie, thus "Pointing to the Soldiers" was born.  "Point to the Soldiers" has a compact rhythm, tense plot, exciting scenes, and full viewing pleasure. After its release, it won both box office and word-of-mouth reviews. Encouraged by this, it is said that Liang Li Shaoxia intends to increase investment and prepares to shoot a few more movies in 2019 to become a  The second oriental charm.  "Crazy Robbery" and "Dian Zhi Bing Bing" are both purely commercial films. The shooting techniques and director concepts are very novel, but they have no artistic value. "The Rain in the Sky" focuses on artistic conception rather than plot, and its advantages and disadvantages are too obvious to be appreciated.  The audience likes it, and it is not easy for them to break out and win the best movie.  ??The five mainland movies have their own characteristics and extraordinary origins. After becoming a RU, Shen Chong was also a movie fan and had watched almost all of them in his previous life.  "Little Flower" is the collective memory of an era in the Mainland. The three leading actors, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong, and Liu Xiaoqing, are all in the best years of their youth. They are all big names with excellent acting skills, so the whole movie appears to be fleshed out and full of characters.  It lasts forever and is still worth seeing twenty or thirty years later.  "Gunshots of the Secret Service" is a successful attempt at commercializing movies in the Mainland. It was the highest-grossing film in the Chinese film industry in 1979. Regardless of the content, the number of moviegoers alone was over 100 million and the box office was 18 million.  Clicking the tongue "Arrow to the Heart of the Sun" is an anti-Japanese film starring Zhao Erkang and Siqin Gaowa. It tells the story of an anti-Japanese soldier in Northeast China who was seriously injured and fell behind and was captured by the Japanese army. He escaped through hardships and was rescued home by a widow.  , while recovering from injuries, the two fell in love, but for the sake of the cause of resisting Japan, the protagonist still left It is a standard main theme story, but it was filmed in real scenes in the deep mountains and old forests. The filming is real, the acting is natural, the true feelings are revealed, and it has a simple feeling.  charm.  "From Slave to General" is a biographical film about the founding military strategist Luo Binghui. It is divided into two parts. The film is 180 minutes long. Because it is a gift film for the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shanghai Film Studio spared no expense and used the troops from Guangzhou and Nanjing to participate in the performance.  , produced vast and magnificent war scenes. Hong Kong movies cannot produce such war films anyway.  "The Seventh Grade Sesame Official" takes the essence of drama art, but is not limited to the stage. It closely combines drama and film stunts, showing strong local color and superb skills in singing design and modeling performance. It is a Chinese film  A unique type, although it is niche, it has great artistic charm.  In addition to these five films, Chen Baisheng also listed the names of the five unsuccessful films in the appendix. They are "Nezha Haohai", "Battle of Jinan", "Ah, the Cradle", "Look at This Family" and "  "Overseas Innocence" "Nezha Naohai" is a classic among domestic cartoon classics, a peerless masterpiece on par with "Havoc in Heaven". Nezha's decisive look when he took a sword to kill himself is an unforgettable memory for Shen Chong. He had always been  I didn¡¯t know that this was a 1979 movie. If I had known, I would have given the Academy Award for Best Animation.  "Battle of Jinan" and "Ah Cradle" are both movies about the civil war period between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The taste of political confrontation was too strong, so it was reasonable for them to be brushed off by editors. However, "Ah, Cradle" is a classic work by director Xie Jin.  One, it¡¯s a pity to brush it off.  "Look At This Family" is a comedy film created by father and son Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi. It is also a reform attempt by Beijing Film Studio to create market-oriented creations. This film is very popular in the mainland, but it is not suitable in Hong Kong because it  The flavor of Beijing is too strong. In the eyes of Hong Kong people at this time, Beijing is a very strange and mysterious place, so they cannot appreciate Chen Peisi's comedy jokes in daily life.  "Children Overseas" Just by looking at the name, you can tell the film bureau's political intention in sending it to Hong Kong. This is the only movie Shen Chong has never seen, but he knows the theme song of this film - the famous "I Love You China"  ¡·.  As for Taiwan's "Small Town Story", in front of these films, the business is not exciting enough, the art is not meaningful enough, the acting is not outstanding enough, and the production is not grand enough. It is basically a character who accompanies the prince to study. Although "Legend of the Mountain" has beautiful shots  It's terrible, but the plot is protracted and the pace is slow. It's even less popular with the audience than "The Rain in the Sky" and it's basically impossible to win the first prize.  "Mr. Shen." Gu Liwei opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, held a folder, and said, "This is the file you want." "It¡¯s not me who wants it, it¡¯s you who wants it.  Shen Chong put away the list and said: "Review it on the road and explain it to Run Run Shaw later. Whether you can persuade him to present the award depends on your eloquence."  " Gu Liwei was quite surprised. She stared and asked, "Me?  "    "yes.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "You have good appearance and temperament. It's a pity to be a secretary. I'm going to let you be the official spokesperson of the Academy Awards. Let's practice tonight."  "
