    After Wang Yang finished his speech, he didn't say a word more. He folded the manuscript paper, put it in his pocket, picked up the trophy, nodded to Shen Chong, and walked towards the audience.  With his big back, black frame, Chinese tunic suit, and old-school leadership aura, the audience was left speechless and silent. When he reached the steps, a burst of warm applause broke out.  "The person who just accepted the award on behalf of Mr. Xia Yan is Mr. Wang Yang, the director of the Beijing Film Studio." Shen Chong introduced with a smile: "Mr. Wang is an upright man, rigorous in his work, full of momentum, and the ghosts and gods can change things. He just looked at me.  , I was so scared that my legs went weak. Some people say that I am the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but have you ever seen such a timid God of Wealth?" His deliberate ridicule made the people laugh, and the atmosphere became lively again.  Wang Yang turned around, glared at him helplessly, then shook his head and sat back in his seat.  After adjusting his posture slightly, Shen Chong suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Next, the Academy Awards will pay tribute to a senior in the Hong Kong film industry. He is not only a well-known rich man and a big boss, but also a modern Hong Kong film  The founder of the industry, the founder of 'Oriental Hollywood,' a world-renowned producer, produced and distributed countless classic movies that were popular in Chinese society. He is our uncle Liu, the boss of Shaw Brothers Film Company, Run Run Shaw.  "Jazz" Shaw Brothers Movies and H TV have spent countless good times with Hong Kong people. Run Run Shaw is not the richest tycoon in Hong Kong, but he is definitely the most talked about tycoon in Hong Kong. As soon as Shen Chong finished speaking, he immediately applauded  Like a tide, continuous.  "Sir Run Run Shaw was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang in 1907. His original name was Shao Renlang and his nickname was Shaw. In 19 years, he and his brother founded Tianyi Film Company in Shanghai" Run Run Shaw's legendary entrepreneurial experience is familiar to Hong Kong people.  Story, during the playing of the short information video, the applause never stopped. When Run Run Shaw walked onto the stage and received the trophy, led by local guests from Hong Kong, everyone in the concert hall stood up.  In 19RU, no one doubted Shaw's award-winning qualifications and status in the world. However, he had not yet started large-scale charity at this time. Many people criticized Shaw's stingy management style, so his reputation was far from reaching 30 years.  The latter state of mind that convinced everyone. The reason for such a grand occasion is probably because before the ceremony, both the media and the audience were arrogant, thinking that the Hong Kong film market was prosperous and its output was the highest in Asia, and it would inevitably take over.  All the awards, but halfway through the awards ceremony, Hong Kong was empty-handed and didn't get a single award. The local guests were so angry that they naturally supported Shaw and felt proud.  Run Run Shaw is a person who knows how to maintain good health. He is now 73 years old. Although he has a thin face, he is full of energy, light and healthy, and does not look old. However, he is a typical family-oriented person who only loves to work.  He doesn't like to talk nonsense, and he can't speak Cantonese. His Mandarin also has a strong Zhejiang accent, so he rarely speaks at length in public. After receiving the trophy from Shen Chong, he just said a few words of thanks to the occasion.  , he was about to leave. "Uncle Six." Upon seeing this, Shen Chong felt that the atmosphere was not enough and he felt sorry for the audience, so he said, "Can I ask you a favor?" Run Run Shaw stopped about to leave and said, "Mr. Shen  "Please tell me." "Shaw Brothers Film Company has just been established in 2016. In this year, you have done a lot of great things." Shen Chong said with a smile: "I also founded a film company last year. I hope that in 2020.  In the future, I can make a career like you. At that time, maybe I will be qualified to receive this trophy. Uncle Six, you are my idol. If my dream comes true, can you come and present the award to me?  " Run Run Shaw was stunned. He looked at Shen Chong up and down, then showed a smile, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said: "If I can still walk by then, if Mr. Shen can really win the award, I will definitely come to present the award.  The audience was filled with good-natured laughter and applause. After Run Run Shaw came off the stage and sat down, Shen Chong said: "Dear guests here, please keep your invitations tonight and come back to attend the Academy Awards after the new year.  Ceremony, to bear witness to the agreement between Uncle Six and I. His confident ridicule aroused another round of applause.  "Mr. Xia Yan and Sir Run Run Shaw are both behind-the-scenes workers in the film industry." Shen Chong pursed his lips, paused, and then said: "The following trophy is a tribute to a great behind-the-scenes worker in the film industry.  He is a big star with thousands of movie fans. He is a master who turns performance into art. He is a legend who was born for movies. He said that artists should give people beauty, truth and happiness at any time. He is  "Zhao Dan has been active for a long time. To ordinary Hong Kong audiences, he is neither as powerful as Xia Yan nor as well-known as Run Run Shaw, so when he came on stage, the applause was slightly muted.  Click "Zhao Dan, born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu in 1915, formerly known as Zhao Feng'ao. He joined Shanghai Star Film Company in 19 years and has participated in the filming of "Shanghai 24 Hours", "Daughters of the Times", "Going to the Northwest", "The Daughter Experience"  ", "Nostalgia" and more than 20 films, with his handsome appearance and excellent acting talent, he soon became one of the most eye-catching stars in Shanghai in the 1930s.  In 1937, Zhao Dan played the roles of unemployed college student Lao Zhao and drummer Xiao Chen in the classic films "Cross Street" and "Street Angel" respectively. His superb acting skills were widely praised. These two films also became the finale of Chinese films in the 1930s.  A masterpiece whose charm remains undiminished to this day.  After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Dan starred in films such as "The Unstoppable Spring", "Beautiful People", and "The Crow and the Sparrow", all of which were very popular.  After the 1950s, Zhao Dan starred in many films such as "For Peace", "Li Shizhen", "Sea Soul", "Lin Zexu", "Nie Er", "Eternal Life in Fire", etc., shaping Li Shizhen, Nie Er, Lin Zexu,  Xu Yunfeng and other screen images of different eras and identities have been highly praised for their fascinating acting skills. Zhao Dan's performance is free and easy, with both form and spirit, and has a unique charm that transcends the times. He is the benchmark for Chinese film performing arts.  "During the Literary Congress last year, Zhao Dan's condition had not been discovered. When Shen Chong went to visit him, he discussed the idea of ??holding the Academy Awards. One of the activities was to use the opportunity of the awards ceremony to create a cross-strait, three-way  Zhao Dan was very concerned about the exchange seminar for local film workers and had been preparing materials and papers early. After learning that he was not selected to participate in the Hong Kong Academy Awards, Zhao Dan went to see Vice Minister of Culture Situ again and again.  Huimin, he was a very stubborn person and his time was running out. Situ Huimin was helpless. After consulting the doctor, he approved his application to come to Hong Kong. Shen Chong held the trophy in both hands and handed it over.  Zhao Dan said: "Mr. Zhao Dan, please accept our small respect." "Thank you." Zhao Dan had a calm demeanor and an elegant manner, which vaguely showed the style of the past. He gently raised the trophy and placed it on the table.  on, said: "Chairman Xia and Mr. Run Run Shaw are both hard-working and practical people. They have made great contributions to the development and growth of Chinese films. But I am just an actor who makes a living by my expressions and tongue."  You deserve this award." The guests responded with a round of applause.  "The short film just now said that I am a benchmark for performing arts, so I don't dare to accept it. The reason why art is art is that it is ever-changing and there is no fixed standard. In the hearts of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets, and the same character.  Different actors have different acting methods and different charms. Only this kind of film world is colorful, radiant, and loved by the audience. ¡°I recently communicated with many film colleagues in Taiwan and found out.  There is a phenomenon, that is, the governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait like to dictate to film creations. Sometimes they say this cannot be acted, and sometimes they say that cannot be released, what props should be bought, what costumes should be worn, what lines should be said, and what actions should be done.  There is no need to set up rules and regulations to restrict it. Literature and art are the business of writers and artists themselves. If the government manages literature and art too specifically, there will be no hope for literature and art, and it will be over." The applause this time was extremely warm and deafening.  Taiwanese filmmakers were the first to stand up, and soon the whole audience stood up to pay tribute to him.  Shen Chong stood behind him, applauding very vigorously, and expressed his admiration for Zhao Dan. He actually dared to use cannons on such an occasion, and even covered the entire map, bombarding both sides of the strait.  Amid the waves of applause, Zhao Dan stood there with a firm expression, like a solid rock. After the applause subsided, he continued: "In the past two days, many people have discussed institutional issues with me, 'System, Second  We artists were unfamiliar with words at first, but then we gradually discovered that we were too lazy to care about the system, but the system tightly controlled us, forcing us to deal with it seriously. " "Literary and artistic creation is the most personal.  It is unrestricted and cannot be restricted. We can comment, criticize, encourage, and applaud, but we cannot raise our hands to pass the checks at all levels. Good works cannot be produced through review. Throughout the ages, there has not been a viable good work.  The work was censored." This time the applause was even bigger, almost knocking off the roof "Habits are not the truth, and bad habits cannot be followed as an iron-clad system. Literature and art need freedom. If freedom cannot be given, at least it must be told clearly.  What can we create and what cannot be touched? We can do it today but not tomorrow. But we can¡¯t explain why. If this continues, writers and artists will be at a loss, so how can they create good works? " Shen Chong worked hard.  I applauded, my hands were numb, but my heart was burning.  It¡¯s really inspiring. It¡¯s really lively now Note: Zhao Dan¡¯s speech was adapted from an article he published in the People¡¯s Daily before his death in October 19RU.
