    2019RU, April U, Sunday, is the day when the Academy Awards ceremony will be held.  The Hong Kong City Hall is not a venue specially built for large-scale indoor events. Both the internal structure and the external space have some inconveniences. Therefore, after several rehearsals, for safety reasons, the organizing committee gave up on the red carpet being open to the public.  The plan is to change it to a semi-closed red carpet with only the media and reporters participating.  In order to create an atmosphere and facilitate reporters' photography, Shen Chong booked a hall in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel 500 meters away from the city hall, arranged for all the celebrities and guests who needed to walk on the red carpet to stay temporarily, and then used a courtesy car sponsored by the Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong dealer  , organized transfer to the town hall.  When the clock hands approached six o'clock, Shen Chong took Zhang Aijia's arm, then waved to the nervous, excited, or quiet dressed-up men and women in the hotel lobby, and joked with a smile: "Everyone, as a pioneer, I  Let¡¯s set off first, please stay in formation and don¡¯t get lost.¡± The crowd burst into laughter, and even a few old guys who had been serious and quiet couldn¡¯t help but smile. After getting into the concierge car, Shen Chong changed his previous relaxed attitude.  , with a serious expression, tapping his thigh back and forth with his fingers, without saying a word.  "What?" Zhang Aijia looked at him with strange eyes and asked, "Are you more nervous than me?" Shen Chong forced a smile.  "You are so thick-skinned, can you be nervous?" Zhang Aijia smiled and said: "I have never seen you nervous before, your expression is so strange." "I'm not nervous, I'm worried." Shen Chong said with a wry smile: "  After working hard for several months, don¡¯t let anything go wrong when things come to an end.¡± ¡°You wish you could have everything under control.¡± Zhang Aijia rolled her eyes at him and said comfortingly, ¡°You are so capable.  , and I¡¯ve been preparing carefully for so long, nothing will happen.¡± ¡°If it were possible, I would really like to tie a rope around everyone and then hide behind them to control it.¡± Shen Chong smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan.  After all, I have read reports about the Oscars and the Golden Horse Awards for reference. But those from the mainland have only participated in awards ceremonies and commendation meetings for determination, and have never participated in such an entertaining ceremony. I am afraid that they will make mistakes while busy.  "Yesterday's rehearsal went very well." Zhang Aijia held his hand and said, "There is nothing to worry about. Who is a movie maker who doesn't have stage fright when facing the spotlight?"  Even if he fell down in the venue, it's just a harmless tidbit." Shen Chong shook his head and said, "I'm worried that someone said something wrong. You know, the media nowadays like to make waves, and so do reporters.  They are becoming more and more cunning. When asking questions, they often hide their lies. Mainland filmmakers have no experience in this area and are easily fooled. Once they are fooled, their careers will be greatly affected. " "Didn't you remind them?  , try to have as little contact with reporters as possible?" "Remind me, when you get excited in such a flashy occasion, you will talk nonsense and don't know what you are talking about." Shen Chong looked through the car window and looked at the sponsors outside.  The red carpet channel surrounded by billboards said: "Forget it, do your best and listen to fate. If something really happens, we will find a way to remedy it." After the driver opened the door, Shen Chong and Zhang Aijia just stepped forward, and immediately a bright light came on  Flashing lights, both sides of the red carpet, which was only about ten meters long, were crowded with reporters. There were hundreds of people. Presumably, reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, whether they were reporting on entertainment news or not, came to join in the fun.  Shen Chong had watched the live broadcasts of various awards ceremonies in his previous life, and had also gone to the Shanghai Film Festival to observe them. He had some experience. After traveling through time and space, he had experienced many major events, and his mentality had been tempered. He was not nervous anymore. He held Zhang Aijia's hand,  She walked onto the red carpet with a relaxed expression, cooperated with reporters in the middle, and after striking a few casual poses, Shi Shiran walked into the auditorium.  As soon as the two people reached the end of the red carpet, the second limousine stopped at the entrance. Liu Xiaoqing, wearing a gorgeous and complicated red princess evening dress, appeared in front of reporters like a blooming peony, immediately attracting all the flashlights.  past.  Zhang Aijia turned around and saw Liu Xiaoqing standing on the red carpet, with an unabashed smile, posing in various poses for reporters to take photos, and said a little sourly: "She is so exaggerated, she dares to wear such a gorgeous dress." "  I admire her very much." Shen Chong touched his chin and said, "Her appearance is very in line with the current aesthetics of mainland audiences. She combines simplicity and grandeur, and she has the ambition and courage to pursue fame and fortune regardless of other people's opinions. If she develops  If everything goes well, she will be China's Katharine Hepburn and become a symbol of the times. Zhang Aijia was very surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Liu Xiaoqing a few more times. "It's a pity that the current social environment in the mainland cannot tolerate aliens and ambitions like her."  The bigger it is, the more controversial it is.  Shen Chong saw that the third courtesy car had arrived, so he said, "Let's go in first."  " Zhang Aijia is the host. She needs to re-make up and recheck her lines. After Shen Chong sent her to the dressing room, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped. "A Chong.  "Zhang Aijia said with a little expectation and a little hesitation.She said, "Don't you give me some hints?" Shen Chong was about to speak. She stamped her foot, waved her hands and said, "Forget it, don't say anything, just walk away. I don't want to know anymore."  " Shen Chong laughed. Zhang Aijia was nominated for Best Actress for "The Heist" and Best Supporting Actress for "Legend of the Mountain". Nervousness and anticipation are inevitable, and the Academy Awards are more confidential than the Golden Horse Awards.  Much better. Except for him, who is the chairman of the jury, almost no one else knows the final winners of each award The Hong Kong City Hall has two entrances, front and rear. Guests who do not need to walk on the red carpet can enter through the back door. When sinking,  When I rushed into the concert hall, nearly half of it was occupied. In addition to the staff who were busy coming and going, many guests were also walking around and chatting with each other. There are 1,434 seats in the concert hall, of which 578 are in the front seats, which are allocated to shortlisted movies.  For filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, including crew members, 469 back seats were allocated to sponsors, and 387 balcony seats were distributed by the organizing committee to celebrities from various industries in Hong Kong. ¡°Mr. Wang, hello, hello.  good.  " "Boss Huang, Mrs. Huang, hello, we meet again.  " "Ms. Ye, long time no see.  ¡± Shen Chong was also one of the award guests, so his seat was arranged relatively forward. He greeted people all the way, and after struggling for a while, he walked to the third row of the front seat and found his seat. His neighbor was  Wang Yang, the leader of the mainland delegation - the Academy Awards are private awards. Taiwan prohibits any official contact between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Hong Kong is also in a sensitive period of handover negotiations. It is difficult for the mainland to send senior government officials to lead the team. In addition,  Beijing Film Studio had two films shortlisted, so they sent Wang Yang, who had been to Hong Kong a few months ago, "Xiao Shen, is it starting outside?"  "    "yes.  "After Shen Chong said hello to Wei Baoguo and others across the ocean, he sat down and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, after putting on these new clothes, I look several years younger.  " "It's a waste of time." Wang Yang frowned, shook his head and said, "Spend so much money, do so many things, and hold an insignificant awards ceremony. You, you, you are really wasting people and money, and you don't know how to save.  " "Spend your own money and let others talk about it.  Shen Chong smiled and made fun of himself, then said: "Hong Kong is a business society, and people are all chasing fame and fortune. The more luxurious I do, the more talents I can see, so the publicity effect will be better."  Mr. Wang, believe it or not, after tonight, whether "Little Flower" wins or not, if you take it to Hong Kong and screen it, I guarantee that the box office will be at least one million.  " "We don't have the right to export movies. Even if the box office is tens of millions, let alone millions, Beijing Film Studio will not get a penny.  "Wang Yang said angrily: "I feel more and more what you said last year makes sense. If the screening system is not reformed, Chinese films will struggle and will fall sooner or later.  " If this great master is really willing to go all out and write to the State Council, the mainland film reform may really open up. Shen Chong was secretly happy, but on the surface he asked casually: "Mr. Wang, the seminar for filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places  After the exchange meeting, did you gain anything?  " "I have learned a lot, I have learned a lot. Xiao Shen, I don't like your award ceremony, but the seminar was indeed well organized, with depth and breadth, and it deserves recognition.  "Wang Yang sighed and said: "The last time I came to Hong Kong, I just took a quick look and saw a little bit. When I went back and thought about it carefully, I found that I didn't learn anything. This time is different. I have in-depth knowledge with compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  After the exchange, I feel that there are indeed many problems in the mainland's film industry, and it should not be done.  " "Then you have to worry a lot.  Shen Chong cupped his hands and said, "Boy, I'll just wait for the good news."  " Wang Yang was silent. After a while, he said, "Xiao Shen, it would be great if you were from our Beijing Film Studio.  " "Mr. Wang, you think too highly of me. There are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in Beijing Film Studio. When I go to your place, I'm just an ordinary handyman."  Shen Chong laughed and said: "The leading actors in "Little Flower" and "Look at This Family" are all talented and much better than me."  " "They are good at acting, but not running a factory.  "Wang Yang said with some disappointment: "I am this year old, how many more years can I live?  Now there are old people and young people in the factory. I am very anxious.  " Just when Shen Chong was about to speak, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and then he heard a hoarse voice say: "Chongzi, it's so beautiful today." As soon as he heard this title, he couldn't help but laugh, and turned around and said: "Uncle Zhan, you  Walking the red carpet with such a beautiful and elegant beauty like Sister Yanni is more beautiful than me.  " Lin Yanni was just over thirty at this time. She was wearing a lake blue dress, youthful and charming, and extremely eye-catching. " Chongzi, please stop calling me that, okay?  Huang Zhan, along with his confidante and business partner Lin Yanni, sat down behind him and said with his signature laugh: "I am very happy to be the uncle of the God of Wealth. I have no objection at all, but you call me sister Yanni."  , it¡¯s not good to mess up the seniority.  " "When people get old, they have to accept their fate.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "This is a beautiful woman in her early twenties. Of course she is called sister if she is a flower in spring. You are an old man in her fifties or forties. You are an eggplant in autumn. Instead of calling her uncle, you will call her "sister".Lin Yanni smiled brightly. Huang Zhan was so full of bad things that he couldn't say it out loud. He glared at Shen Chong for a long time, laughed and laughed at himself, saying: "Boy, no wonder some people say that the more shameless you are, the more you earn. You  Shameless enough. Huang Zhan is a good smoker and drinker, loves to play, and talks freely. Before Shen Chong traveled through time, he was also a person who hung out in the sea of ??wine and smoke. He had a lot of jokes hidden in his mind. He admired Huang Zhan in his previous life.  The love can be said to be endless, so after crossing the border, they deliberately made friends, and the two of them had the same affinity. Although they didn't meet many times, they got along very happily every time they met, and they felt like they were close friends.  While chatting and socializing like this, before we knew it, the time was approaching 8pm, and the Academy Awards ceremony was about to begin.
