    The director held a walkie-talkie in one hand and made a countdown gesture with the other.  "Three, two, one, let's go." When Teresa Teng took her curtain call, the lights were turned off one after another, and the whole place was dark. When Shen Chong walked out from behind the scenes, the lights were on again. When he came to the place where the three statuettes were placed,  When we were in front of the stage, all the lights in the concert hall were turned on, making it bright.  "Good evening, everyone." Buildings like the concert hall are inherently quiet and peaceful, so when other guests appeared, whether it was Lin Fengmian or Teresa Teng, the applause was warm and neat, and the whole place was filled with a feeling of guests and audience.  Mutual appreciation, a gentle but not fanatical atmosphere.  However, when Shen Chong came on stage and finished his sentence, before he could introduce himself, applause rang out. The sound was uneven, mixed with whistles and shouts, breaking the previous gentle atmosphere.  The eyes of thousands of people were focused, and the pressure was greater than imagined. Amidst the applause, Shen Chong stood with a smile on his face, hands behind his hands, took the opportunity to adjust his breathing, regained his clarity of mind, and then said into the microphone: "  Hello everyone, I¡¯m Shen Chong.¡± Applause comes again.  "Just now, Ms. Teresa Teng and the Hong Kong Philharmonic performed the theme song "Star" for this year's Academy Awards. The song has the words "starlight guides the way, accompany me on my night walks". It is a tribute to the predecessors who have contributed to the film. There is no  Without their struggle and dedication, there would be no colorful movie world today. Without movies, we could only lie on the roof every night and count the stars. If that were the case, life would be so boring." Laughter and applause.  "Okay, let's get down to business." After the silence, Shen Chong continued: "I believe everyone already knows that I will present the first Hong Kong Film Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. The three trophies in front of me are dedicated to these three  "Prepared by seniors in the film industry." "These three seniors are the giants of the Chinese film industry. They are the people who make people look up to them. The Academy Awards Organizing Committee has searched hard and found no one who is more qualified than them.  Older and more accomplished people came out to present the award, so they dragged me out to present this award. "It's not that I'm shameless, nor that I don't know how to be generous." Shen Chong had completely gotten rid of his nervousness and said with ease.  : "In some places in China, there is a custom that when holding a wedding or a banquet for guests, you must invite a highly respected senior to sit at the head of the table and control the scene, and then find a kid with the lowest seniority and youngest age to accompany you.  "The Lifetime Achievement Award of the Academy Awards is not to recognize and reward the achievements and achievements of seniors. We are not qualified to do so."  Shen Chong picked up a trophy, held it in his hand, and said: "This trophy is like a candied haws in a child's hand. Children treat their elders to eat candied haws. It is purely a sign of filial piety. When we award lifetime achievement awards to our seniors, it is also a pure expression of our sincerity."  Heart of admiration." The applause was loud, and the warm but restrained rhythm was restored.  "Before awarding the award, I want to explain why the Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded to three seniors at once." Shen Chong picked up a trophy again, carefully turned it over, showed it to the audience, and explained: "Look, everyone, the trophy is  The base is painted in three colors: red, green and blue. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colorful images on the screen are all mixed with these three colors. But these three colors are not just the three primary colors.  "Red represents business, blue represents technology, and green represents culture." He put the trophy back and said: "Without business, movies cannot generate profits. Without profits, no one will invest, and no one will invest in film work."  Those who do not can survive; from black and white to color, from silent to sound, technology is constantly improving. Without technology, there would be no better cameras, better films, and better screens, and movies would lose the material basis for continued development;  Without culture, a movie is just a pale picture that cannot attract the emotional resonance of the audience, loses artistic nutrients, and cannot create spiritual wealth. "Therefore, at each Academy Awards, three Lifetime Achievement Awards will be awarded to three people who are outstanding in film in different fields.  Pay tribute to the seniors who have made outstanding contributions. "The list of winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award was announced before the award ceremony. The envelope Shen Chong took was just a prop. He opened it casually, took a look at it, and said, "Someone said.  However, after the Revolution of 1911, the history of vernacular literature cannot be without Hu Shi; the history of new literature cannot be without Lu Xun; the history of new art cannot be without Liu Haisu; the history of new film cannot be without Xia Yan, the first Hong Kong film gold medal.  The winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award is Mr. Xia Yan." As soon as he finished speaking, the lights on the stage went out, and the camera began to show Xia Yan's short information.  "Xia Yan, born in 19UU in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, formerly known as Shen Naixi, with the courtesy name Duanxian, is a famous writer, literary critic and playwright. He has successively created the film scripts "Crazy Flow" and "Spring Silkworms", the dramas "The Biography of Qiu Jin" and "The Game".  "Golden Flower", "Fascist Bacteria", "Under the Eaves of Shanghai" and the reportage "Indemnity", adapted and created "Eternal Life in the Fire", "Revolutionary Family", "Blessing", "Linjia Pu"??" and other movie scripts are deeply loved by the audience. In addition, Mr. Xia Yan has also published monographs such as "Several Issues in Writing Movie Scripts" and "Xia Yan on Creation", which have made great contributions to the theory of movie script creation.  contribution.  "The achievements listed on the big screen are only Xia Yan's contributions to film creation. In fact, his most critical contribution to Chinese films is to single-handedly create the system of the mainland film industry after liberation. However, the Academy Awards are private awards.  In order to avoid suspicion and to focus on movies, Xia Yan deliberately did not talk about Xia Yan's political achievements.  Minister of Propaganda and Minister of Culture. In 1955, he was transferred to Beijing and served as Deputy Minister of Culture for 10 years, in charge of film and foreign affairs. During these 10 years, many powerful film studios were established in the mainland and produced  A large number of outstanding film works were produced, and there was a prosperous scene. After Xia Yan was overthrown and overthrown, the mainland film industry completely stagnated. Before liberation, he was imprisoned for 8 years, came back in 1977, and is now a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.  Member, consultant to the Central Ministry of Culture, vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and chairman of the China Filmmakers Association. He is still the undoubted leader of the mainland film industry. With Xia Yan¡¯s contribution to Chinese films, he is well-deserved to win the award. The problem is based on his identity and  Status, this is the first time that the Hong Kong Folk Award is neither famous nor authoritative. No matter how extravagant the ceremony is and how exquisite the trophy is, it is like a child playing house, and it is not worth mentioning. If the award is awarded, it will not be mentioned.  Not only would it be embarrassing, but it would also turn the Academy Awards into a joke. So when Shen Chong proposed awarding Xia Yan the award, everyone in the organizing committee unanimously opposed it, thinking he was whimsical. But Shen Chong insisted on giving it a try because Xia Yan.  He also has another position - Vice President of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. In 19RU, on the eve of the handover negotiations, the focus of foreign friendship was of course Hong Kong This is the general political trend. You can borrow it. Why don't you confess it?  Do you know if the goddess loves you? If you don¡¯t invite me, how will you know if you will accept the award? As a time traveler, Shen Chong is courageous and thick-skinned. Before this year¡¯s Spring Festival, he specially asked the Academy Awards organizing committee to prepare an invitation letter.  After arriving in Beijing, he asked Chen Bo to convey it to Xia Yan, inviting him to come to Hong Kong to receive the award. After sending the invitation letter, he quickly received a reply - he received the award, but he was busy with official duties and could not go to Hong Kong in person.  Entrusting others to receive the award on his behalf was what Shen Chong wanted. He never expected that Xia Yan would receive the award in person - you must know that when the Advisory Committee was established in 2019, Xia Yan was one of the 175 members, even if he was wearing a sweat all over his body.  He is a non-governmental organization, and he is also a very politically influential figure. His identity is too sensitive. The person who accepted the award on behalf of Xia Yan was Wang Yang, the head of the mainland delegation and the director of Beijing Film Studio. He is Xia Yan.  His old subordinates and old friends not only collaborated on many films, but were also locked up together for criticism during the turbulent years. They were friends in times of need. After Wang Yang took the trophy from Shen Chong, he put it back on the table and took it from his jacket pocket.  He took out a piece of paper, put on his reading glasses without haste, and began to receive the award: "Dear guests and friends, good evening to everyone.  First of all, Mr. Xia Yan asked me to apologize to everyone. Due to health reasons, he cannot come to Hong Kong in person to have a drink and chat with all the virtuous people here and celebrate the grand event. It is a pity" Shen Chong stood aside, listening to Wang Yang's serious look.  He read the thank-you speech written by Xia Yan, and his heart was full of joy. He awarded Xia Yan the award. It was not that he was trying to flatter him. On the contrary, Shen Chong was not just a person of admiration as he said. He had distracting thoughts in his heart.  Killing two birds with one stone, Xia Yan's identity can be used to expand the influence and authority of the Academy Awards. If it only focuses on Hong Kong, then as long as the ceremony is luxurious enough, the authoritative status of the Academy Awards can be established. But if it is expanded to Hong Kong.  In the entire Chinese film industry, luxury alone is not enough, because Confucian culture is official-based, and power is more important than money. In China, whether it is officially organized or organized by the private sector, people have always liked to define an event by the rank of the attending officials.  Influence, for example, in a certain event, if the highest official is the county magistrate, then it is at the county level; the highest official is the provincial governor, then it is at the provincial level; and Xia Yan is at the ministerial level. As soon as he receives the award,  In the subconscious mind of the audience, the Academy Awards immediately jumped from a small award in Hong Kong to a national-level award - ministerial figures are just recipients, so the award must be national-level. And now, this purpose is perfect.  It has been achieved. Xia Yan, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and the president of the China Film Association, accepted the award, and his speech was so humble. In the future, who will have the qualifications and capital to accept the award without being able to express it in a humorous manner?
