    "It's really good." Shen Chong tapped his foot, turned the boss's chair, looked around the brand new office under the light, and said with satisfaction: "This is money well spent." "Mr. Shen." Gu Liwei said with a smile: "  This new office building has just been put into use for a week, and it has already been rated as the best office building in Hong Kong. "I'm afraid it has also been rated as the most expensive office building in Hong Kong, right?" Shen Chong laughed, and then put away his enjoyment.  He asked, "Tell me about the past few days." "The Hong Kong Governor's Office made four calls this morning to inquire about your schedule." "Don't report this." Shen Chong waved his hand.  He complained: "As soon as I got off the plane today, I was invited to have tea by the Hong Kong Governor. After seven or eight hours of work, I haven't even returned home. I'm as tired as a dog. If it weren't for seeing this new office,  "Mr. Shen, is the report in Shengshi Oriental Weekly true?" Gu Liwei asked with a concerned look: "Mainland really said that Ma Zhao ran away.  "Dancing?" "Of course it's true." Shen Chong knocked on the magazine on the table weakly and said, "This magazine is called "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" in Chinese and "Shen's Oriental Weekly" in English.  If my last name is mentioned, would I make a joke about my name? Even if you don¡¯t believe the reporter, you should believe me.¡± Gu Liwei pursed her lips and took out a gilded invitation and said, ¡°This is Li Xiao, Chairman of the Board of Directors of H.  Mr. He sent someone to deliver it, saying that there is a cocktail party tomorrow night and he wants to invite Mr. Shen to come. " Shen Chong was stunned when he heard this.  In later generations, when people mentioned H, they naturally thought of Run Run Shaw. However, Shen Chong checked after time travel and found out that the main shareholders of HR at this time were Li Xiaohe and HSBC. Shaw's shareholding was not enough, but Li Xiaohe  His main business is not in TV stations. He and Run Run Shaw have been friends for many years. Shaw Brothers Film Company has rich entertainment resources, so he entrusted the daily operation of HR to Run Run Run Shaw. Run Run Run Shaw was very successful, so he gave him the  The public has the illusion that H has always been Shaw Brothers' property.  The Li family is one of the four major families in Hong Kong. Li Xiaohe is also a director of Hong Kong British American Tobacco Company, Shanghai Commercial Bank, Cathay Pacific Airways and other large commercial institutions. He has a family fortune of tens of billions and a profound foundation. The last time Shen Chong wanted to buy a profit stage, he  He was sent away without even showing his face. This time he was actually invited to the banquet. It seemed that it was also thanks to the "one country, two systems" report.  This business of pretending to be powerful should be done more often After taking the invitation and looking at it, Shen Chong handed it back to Gu Liwei and said: "I don't know much about etiquette in this area. Please reply to me and say that you will arrive on time tomorrow."  "Okay." Gu Liwei put away the invitation and continued: "Mr. Ovitz called on the 18th and said that Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn have confirmed that they will come to Hong Kong in April.  Arriving on the evening of the 4th." "It's finally here." This matter has been delayed for too long, and Shen Chong was no longer excited. He took a breath and said, "Continue." "On the 19th, the Academy Awards will be presented.  "The director of the ceremony broadcast arrived in Hong Kong." "Mr. Tanimura also arrived in Hong Kong on the same day and was rehearsing with the Hong Kong Orchestra." "Chief Editor Luo called from the United States yesterday and said that Zhang Ailing agreed to return to Hong Kong to serve as a judge for the Academy Awards.  "This is the best news today." Shen Chong was really tired. He leaned on his chair, nodded slightly, and said, "Lao Luo is quite capable. How can he really convince this great god?"  "Coming back?" "Editor-in-Chief Luo booked a flight for tomorrow." Gu Liwei took out two magazines and said, "This is the "Awards Special Issue" made by Chief Editor Chen, and this is the first issue of "Vanity Fair" made by Chief Editor He.  Sample issue. " Shen Chong became interested and leaned over to take the two magazines. When he saw it, he was stunned again - He Shiguang and Li Xiaoxin actually went to Taiwan to invite Zhang Aijia to do "Vanity Fair".  The cover girl of the inaugural issue.  This choice is quite discerning. Zhang Aijia is very popular now. Although she has not acted for more than half a year, her salary has skyrocketed. Before the Spring Festival, some media reported that Huang Zhuohan offered her 400,000 Hong Kong dollars to act in a movie. If  If she takes over the filming, she will surpass Lin Fengjiao's salary record of 10,000 yuan and become the number one female star in Taiwan.  Although he wanted to know what Zhang Aijia said in the magazine, Shen Chong finally read the "Awards Special Issue" first.  "The Academy Awards Special Issue" is a special issue that introduces information about the Academy Awards' Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor. The text content is very informative and rigorous, but the quality of the pictures is uneven, which reduces the overall quality of the special issue.  But there is nothing we can do about it. Among the candidates for the best film alone, five are from the mainland. At this time, it is difficult to make long-distance calls in the mainland, let alone color fax machines. And this special issue was published before March.  It has to be done no matter what, time is too tight.  Chen Baisheng took a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he produced promotional stills and posters from the Mainland Branch of "Movie Times" and China Film Guangzhou Branch.The scene was captured directly from the camera on the big screen, so some photos look rough.  Everything is difficult at the beginning, so take it step by step. Next year¡¯s Academy Awards cannot be as panicked as this year. Moreover, in the current era, the aesthetics and political orientations of audiences on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are completely different, and it is difficult to ensure fairness and fairness.  , voting is just a gimmick, it is the jury that really determines the award.  "Has this special issue been printed?" Gu Liwei turned over the notepad in her hand and said, "It has been printed. The first issue will be printed with 50,000 copies. It will be released with the "Movie Times" magazine early tomorrow morning." Shen Chongyang  He groaned, nodded, put down the special issue, and picked up Vanity Fair.  On the cover, Zhang Aijia is wearing a beige gown, holding her ears with her hands, smiling, and sitting diagonally on the sofa. The composition is very simple, and the posture is ordinary, but the jewelry, clothing, sofa teacups and surrounding furnishings are all of low value.  Fei's high-end products are shot at clever angles and use special lenses to make the whole picture look elegant, delicate and elegant, which is in line with Shen Chong's requirements for a high-end and classy magazine.  "Boundless charm, Zhang Aijia's private photos" "Exclusive interview with Zhang Aijia, listen to what the talented woman said about the God of Wealth" "Can't these two people have a nicer title?" Shen Chong complained while flipping through the sample issue: "  It¡¯s so vulgar to try to impress people.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s pretty good,¡± Gu Liwei said with a smile, ¡°The men will pay for the first title, and the women will pay for the second title.¡± Shen Chong looked up after hearing this.  Looking at her, he decided that unless there were special circumstances, he would no longer personally review this magazine - in his previous life, he could not understand why so many people on the Internet were obsessed with gossip, and now he would not understand the reading tastes of readers in the RU era.  After browsing through Zhang Aijia's interview, he saw that although she talked and laughed and said a lot of things, what she revealed were all innocuous little things. Shen Chong couldn't help but smile. After browsing the other contents hastily, he picked up the pen.  He drew a circle on the cover and said: "Tell Editor-in-Chief He that in the future, there is no need to show me sample issues if the reports are not about sensitive people and events." Gu Liwei made a note on her notepad and said: "There is also Zhang  The lady called and said that Miss Tsai Chin from Taipei has agreed to perform at the Academy Awards. " Shen Chong nodded slightly, and now all the singers who will sing at the awards ceremony have been finalized.  Tsai Chin was the last singer he went to. Before her, Shen Chong had already gone to Jenny Yen, Teresa Teng and Leslie Cheung.  Tennyson debuted in Taiwan in the early 1970s and moved to Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the late 1970s, she became the most popular singer in Hong Kong. Her 1978 Cantonese album "Struggle" sold 10,000 copies in two months. It is said that the final sales volume was as high as  RU Wan Zhang, created a legendary record that is difficult for future generations to match. After the 1980s, she became popular all over China with classic songs such as "Iron-Blooded Heart", "Flowers of the Sea", and "Lu Binghua".  Jenny Yen married Fu Sheng in 1977, and Fu Sheng was Chang Cheh's favorite disciple and the most popular Kung Fu star in Shaw Brothers. The two of them loved each other very much and were called the golden boy and girl, and were loved by movie fans.  Shen Chong invited her to come and arrange to sing "Under the Starlight" before the award of the best film. This is the episode of the 1995 classic TV series "Heaven and Earth Man". The lyrics are quite in line with the characteristics of the movie.  Leslie Cheung participated in the Asian Singing Contest held by Leeds TV in 1977 and won the runner-up in Hong Kong. He made his debut since then. However, the English album "DDamIu" in 1978 and the Cantonese album "Lovers Arrow" released in 1979 were not very successful, and he was still in the semi-popular stage.  In a non-black state, I can only act in some TV series with average ratings.  After Shen Chong acquired PolyGram, he spent a sum of money to buy out his contract with Li's TV's record company, recruited him over, and invited him to sing, which was no problem.  "Is there anything else?" "No." Gu Liwei closed the notepad and said, "That's all about the Academy Awards for the time being." "Okay, let's get off work." Shen Chong stood up and picked up the official document.  Bao, said: "You have been working here for a week, and this is my first time here. Please show me around, so as not to make a joke tomorrow." This seven-story office building was bought in October last year. After nearly three months,  The decoration was completed one day before the Spring Festival. Shen Chong didn't care about auspicious days or ribbon-cutting. Before going to Beijing, he told Gu Liwei to organize various departments to move in according to the previously scheduled arrangement after the Spring Festival holiday.  The first and second floors are the site of the Hong Kong Film Cultural Center, which has six classrooms, two film post-production studios, a mini theater, and a small film screening hall. This is a film talent training base and also holds some film screenings.  Cultural promotion work.  Half of the third floor is the editorial department of "Film Times" and "First Film Review", and the other half is a simple collection of Chinese film materials. These things will be moved out after an independent library is built in the future.  The fourth floor is "Economic News", "Far Eastern Economic Review", "Asia Weekly", "The editorial department of World Oriental Weekly, and Fei Xiaodie¡¯s market research company.  The fifth floor is the "Movie Power" technology research laboratory and Wen Renjie's game development studio.  The sixth floor is Yuan Tianfan¡¯s financial investment department and Zhang Yonglin¡¯s video tape distribution management department.  In addition to Shen Chong¡¯s office and several conference rooms, the seventh floor also has a gym, billiards room and coffee shop that are free for all employees to use.  Between the sixth and seventh floors, the decoration company dug a square patio and built a miniature garden in the patio, with grass rockery, red flowers and trees, ponds, fountains, and a small waterfall.  Among the stones entwined with vines, water flows silently backwards. The design is ingenious and pleasing to the eye.  "I suddenly felt it." Shen Chong stood in the patio and said, "It's great to have money."
