    "Ms. Zhang Aijia, as the host, what do you think of tonight's awards ceremony?" "I think tonight is a historic event. Filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gather together, which has not happened in decades.  And the guests who came to present the awards were all very important, including legends like Lin Fengmian." Zhang Aijia stood in the corner of the backstage and was interviewed by a reporter. She said, "I am honored to be the host of such a grand event.  "How do you feel about your hosting performance tonight?" "I feel very good about myself," Zhang Aijia said with a self-deprecating laugh.  No, I think I can give it 50 points at most, because I was very nervous at first. You know, there were all big people sitting under the stage, which was very stressful. When I came on stage, my legs were weak. When I spoke, I felt like  It wasn¡¯t me who was speaking, but a tape recorder was playing the recording. The voice was floating and hollow, and I didn¡¯t know what I was talking about. It wasn¡¯t until after the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented that I felt better and acted like a host. " "  Why? Is it because of Mr. Shen? " "Yeah, that's right." Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "Because before he went out to present the award, he told me that I performed well and he was the boss.  Well, if you say I'm okay, then I can rest assured that my salary will not be deducted tonight." "You have such a good relationship, do you still care about Mr. Shen's evaluation?" "Of course I do," Zhang Aijia said matter-of-factly.  : "This is work. I have always felt that work is work and personal feelings should not be involved. And let me tell you, he cares about details very much. Although he looks gentle, he actually has a very bad temper. You  If you make a mistake once, he won't come to you next time, and you won't even have a chance to make up for it. " "So are you always so nervous when you get along with him? " " It's really stressful at work. There are some things that I don't know about.  It took a long time to do it well, but he just solved it with a few words, which made people feel very frustrated. They were like children in front of him. "Zhang Aijia said with a smile that only a woman in love can have: "But let's not talk about it.  When working, he is still a very interesting person, likes to talk nonsense, often surprises people, and makes people very relaxed. " "Then let's talk about tonight's Academy Awards. You were shortlisted for two nominations, but you didn't get one award.  Are you disappointed that you didn't get it? " "There is some disappointment, but it's not particularly disappointing. Director Li Hanxiang also said just now that the Academy Award is a good thing. Only by competing with the best players in China can you prove yourself.  "It's the best. I didn't win the award, which means I'm not the best. I'll try again next year." "Directors Li Hanxiang and Director Zhang Che both expressed their intention to make a good film and compete for the Academy Award next year. What about you?  Are you planning to act in a good movie this year? " "Of course, I also hope to take home a trophy next year. Have you seen that trophy up close? It's very beautiful. If I win the award, I will definitely do it.  Put it in the most conspicuous place at home, and I will show it off to every guest when they come.  " "Ms. Zhang is so funny. Mr. Shen should have many trophies, right?  Just take one back from him.  " "That won't work. This award does not belong to him, but to all filmmakers. He just keeps it for you, just like a bank. You can't say that because I work in a bank, I can just move the money around my house, right?  " "Haha, that's right.  If I remember correctly, you haven't had a new work for more than half a year since "Legend of the Mountain". It's already April. Ms. Zhang just said she wanted to win the Academy Award next year. Is there a new one already?  Work Plan?  "Yes. In June last year, I went to work as a manager in the Taiwan branch of Oriental Charm. I was busy doing behind-the-scenes work and had no time to film. Now that the job is over and I have time again, I am preparing to film a movie.  A new movie, but it¡¯s not convenient to reveal it right now because we only have a script and the actors are still being contacted.  " "Ms. Zhang said that the work is over, what does it mean?  " "I just got fired.  Zhang Aijia smiled. She raised her hand, pointed at the ceiling, and said, "The superiors thought I was not suitable to be a manager, so they fired me."  " "Is that what Mr. Shen means?  "    "Yes.  Hey, he's here. If you have anything, just ask him. I have to remove my makeup.  Zhang Aijia carefully jumped over a bunch of data cables, walked to Shen Chong, and asked, "Is the audience outside gone?"  " "We've been gone for more than half of the time. Go and clean up quickly, and then go to the hotel to have something to eat. You've been tired all night.  " After Zhang Aijia left, Shen Chong shook hands with the reporter and said: "Hello, reporter He, we meet again.  The organizing committee held a celebration banquet at the Cultural Hotel. The best actors and actresses were all there, and reporters could interview them at will. If you didn't go there, why were you blocking Zhang Aijia backstage?  " "Ms. Zhang is even more popular than the movie queen.  "This reporter was the one who interviewed him originally. Shen Chong remembered that his name was He Xijiang, and he was the reporter for Ming Pao Weekly.The chief reporter of entertainment news, he said with a smile: "And the mainlanders are very defensive, so it is difficult to interview. Mr. Shen, can you do an interview?" Shen Chong looked at his watch, then looked at the messy backstage, and said  : "We are waiting for someone anyway. Before she comes out, you can ask whatever you want." He Xijiang immediately asked a question that Shen Chong expected: "Why was "The Rain in the Sky" won the best film? This movie won the best film last year.  The box office and reputation were not very good. ""The Rain in the Sky" did not do well at the box office. I think it may be because the song was high-pitched and not entertaining enough, so the audience didn't like it very much." Shen Chong naturally could not disclose the choice of the mainland judges.  He casually said, "But the quality of this movie is very high. Director Hu Jinquan wanted to express a kind of Zen in traditional culture through the form of martial arts, and many of the jury members happened to be well-educated literati.  , they liked this theme better, so they gave it a high score. "What about the audience vote?" "In the audience vote, the ones with the highest votes were "Little Flower" and "Crazy Robbery"," Shen Chong put his hands in his pockets and said.  I understand everyone¡¯s doubts. The Academy Awards organizing committee will find a suitable time to make public the detailed results of the jury¡¯s scorecards and audience votes to show the fairness and impartiality of the Academy Awards.¡± ¡°The scorecards are not unfair.  "Is it leaked?" "We will deal with the names of each judge and only disclose the score." Shen Chong added another nonsense: "The scoring system of the Academy Awards is completed by computers without any human intervention.  "It's absolutely fair and just." "It turns out that if "Lingyu in the Sky" wins the award, the audience has nothing to say. Mr. Shen, Mr. Hu Shuru said he would sell you the trophy, will you buy it? "  Boss Hu is joking. "Shen Chong laughed and said, "Actually, he wants to buy "Lingyu in the Sky" again. "Will Mr. Shen sell it back?" "If it is before the Spring Festival, everything will be fine."  Shen Chong shook his head and said, "It's no longer possible. I've already sold the footage of "Song of the Sky" to the Mainland, so I can't sell it again. "I mean, it's not from a leftist film company."  Can Hong Kong movies be screened in the mainland? " "Yes." Shen Chong gave a very positive reply: ""The Rain in the Sky" will be released soon. I believe that more Hong Kong movies will be screened in the mainland in the future.  " He Xijiang was overjoyed. This was great news. He quickly made a note and asked, "How much did the film of "Lingyu in the Sky" cost? "It's a business secret, I can't tell you." Shen Chong smiled.  He said: "Reporter He, let's not discuss things other than the award ceremony when we are standing here, right?" "Yes, yes. Can you comment on each award of this year's Academy Awards?" "As the chairman of the jury,  "It's not convenient for me to discuss this. I can only say that every award winner is very capable and well-deserved." "As a film award held in Hong Kong, a Hong Kong actor was shortlisted for Best Actor and Actor, Shen.  What do you think the reason is, sir?  " "I think it's because there are too few movie types in Hong Kong now. They all go to Kung Fu movies. Kung Fu movies only focus on muscles and movements, and don't care much about acting skills, so actors can't show their full potential.  Shen Chong thought for a moment and said: "As the saying goes, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. Traditional kung fu movies have been popular for more than ten years. Now they are at the end of their strength and will soon be abandoned by the audience. They will either transform or innovate, if they are still dead.  Those who cling to routines will have no future.  " "Ms. Zhang didn't get the award, how do you feel?  " "I feel sorry for her.  Shen Chong looked back at the dressing room before continuing: "It doesn't matter if she didn't win the award. Come back next year. Her acting skills are not bad and her luck is not bad. Sooner or later she will get it."  " "Is it true that Ms. Zhang no longer serves as the manager of Oriental Charm Taiwan Branch?  " "Yes, I think her talent should not be wasted on boring commercial activities. She is more suitable to be an actor or director.  " "Ms. Zhang said that she has a new film project. Everyone in the industry knows that Mr. Shen is the best producer in Hong Kong. Will you personally be responsible for this project?  " "I have only made one film, "Crazy Heist", and I am considered the best producer in the world.  " ""Crazy" won consecutive awards. Director Xu Anhua was full of praise for Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is not the best producer, and there are no good producers in Hong Kong.  He Xijiang smiled and complimented, and then asked: "Will Ms. Zhang's new movie be as big a production as "Die Hard"?"  " "No, it's a low-cost literary love movie.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "Not necessarily only big productions can win awards.  I see it's almost time. After asking the last question, let's go to the hotel for a late-night snack.  " He Xijiang hesitated for a while before asking: "Mr. Shen, in tonight's award ceremony, the mainland has won a great victory, andThe Hong Kong Film Awards is such a grand event and has formed a competitive relationship with the Golden Horse Awards. Aren't you afraid that Taiwan will block it?  " "We are just a simple folk cultural exchange activity and have nothing to do with politics.  " Shen Chong paused for a while and then said: "And history has long proven that closing the country will only get worse, not better. Now that information is so advanced, it will not work to cover one's ears and steal the news. Moreover, Taiwan will not be able to take advantage of it this time.  With fewer awards, the competitiveness of Taiwanese films will only become stronger in the future.  " "As for competing with the Golden Horse Awards, it is pure nonsense. The Golden Horse Awards have been held for more than ten years and are recognized as the number one award in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Academy Awards are still a newborn, so they are far behind.  Shen Chong opened his eyes and lied, and said casually: "Furthermore, the judging rules and judging times of the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Statue Awards are different. We are complementary, not competitive. Director Song from Taiwan is very supportive of this year's Golden Statue."  Award, I think I will continue to support you in the future.  "
