"According to the rules set by the last meeting, the best movie, best director, and best actor and actress, these four most attention-oriented awards are jointly selected by the audience and the jury, and other professional awards are independently selected by the jury." After watching the list from beginning to end, Chen Chong said, "Just follow this list to make the special issue of the Academy Awards. When can it be done well?"

"It's probably too late before the Spring Festival." Chen Bosheng calculated the date and said, "It should be about the same around February 25th, before the last episode of "Movie Age" in February."

"That's OK." Chen Chong nodded and said, "After you do it, leave it to Lao Luo, and let him be responsible for the distribution, and print votes on "Movie Age" and "First Movie Review".

"Okay." Chen Bosheng stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first."

"I'll give you." Chen Chong said sincerely when he sent him out: "Brother Chen, thanks to you, otherwise the Academy Awards would not be able to be completed this year no matter what."

"Don't say that, I'm just doing some trivial things." Chen Baisheng said with a humble smile: "If you don't have your planning and investment, where will the Academy Awards come from? I don't have to get a penny for the Hong Kong International Film Festival. I have to make an Academy Award, and I have a monthly subsidy of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If I don't do it well, how can I have the face to meet people?"

Chen Chong smiled.

It is not a false statement that he could not be able to achieve the Golden Horse Award without Chen Baisheng.

If you only do the "Hong Kong Film" Film Awards, Shen Chong will be stress-free and can be done in two months at most. It will never be like now. The four or five-month preparation period will make you fuss and make mistakes everywhere. But what is the significance of that kind of Film Award? There are only four or five movies worth mentioning in Hong Kong in 1979. It is a total of four or five movies. It is a slap in a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes. It is not a bad person...

At the beginning of last year, when Chen Chong first acquired "Movie Biweekly", he had the intention to establish the Academy Awards, but he remained silent. Because without mainland participation, it would be less different to hold the Academy Awards one year earlier or one year later. Therefore, it was not until the Film Workers Congress in November that he confirmed that mainland filmmakers were interested in participating in the competition that the Academy Awards preparatory committee was launched.

After expanding the scope of awards to the entire Chinese-language film industry, the troubles have increased exponentially. The systems of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions are different, with different objective conditions, and there are obstacles everywhere. Especially in the mainland, there are not even a program-controlled phone number, and it takes one or two days to wait for a long distance. In addition, there are few flights and slow train speeds. Things that can be done in the next generation in one day may not be able to be done in half a month in this era.

In just two months, Chen Baisheng organized people to collect information, formulated the selection rules for the Academy Awards, screened the shortlist of various awards, and communicated with the Hong Kong General Hall to arrange the details of the award ceremony. At the same time, he also helped the Hong Kong International Film Festival to manage everything in an orderly manner, and also prepared the shortlist of shortlists in advance. He was a great contribution.

After Chen Bosheng left, Chen Chong returned to the Secretariat and said, "Vivian, let Ajun wait for me downstairs.

After looking at Gu Liwei for a moment, he asked again: "Is this year's company production planning meeting the record?"

"Yes." Gu Liwei picked up the phone and asked while dialing: "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"Do you still remember what the production plan is?"

"Remember."

After she finished calling, Chen Chong said, "Then find out the plan and go to meet Run Run Shaw with me later."

"I'm going, too?"

"Others go to worship the mountain and bring a group of younger brothers to make a big splash." Chen Chong nodded with a smile and said, "I don't have a younger brother, so I have to bring a secretary to make up the numbers."

Gu Liwei has been secretary for more than a month and is already familiar with Chen Chong's speaking style. She smiled softly, stood up quickly to clean up the documents on the table, and said, "Mr. Chen, the plan is in the office of the production department manager. I'll take it now?"

"Okay, you go." Chen Chong looked at the time and said, "I'll wait for you below."

Downstairs, after getting into the car, Shen Chong took out the list of candidates for the Film Awards from his pocket, and was full of interest and thoughts.

According to the general film awards, there are only five shortlists for each major award. This time, ten best movies were obtained, which is also to balance the helpless actions of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. Taiwanese films are weak. If there are only five shortlisted places, before Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang mature, there will be no chance of playing soy sauce in two or three years. If the sense of participation is too weak, it will weaken the popularity and influence of the Academy Awards in Taiwan.

Although mainland movies have been through hardships and are very devastated, they have a big family business and still have three kilograms of nails. For example, Xie Jin, Xie Tieli and other old worlds, they still have the power to fight again. At the same time, filming movies in the mainland only has political pressure and no commercial pressure. As long as the topic is correct, they can be carefully crafted. Therefore, the quality of the films produced is good, and it is not inferior to that of Hong Kong movies that are in the transition period and are in a state of transformation. This time, the mainland has been shortlisted for five movies, and only three movies in Hong Kong are proof of this time.

The copyrights of three Hong Kong movies, "Crazy Job" and "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain", are all sunken, only "Pointing the Bingbing" is not, which makes him feel a bit regretful.

"The Point of Finger" is one of the representative works of Xinwatt, and it has the reputation of opening the modern Hong Kong police and gangster gunfighting film. Chen Chong was very interested in investing, but before he went to Huangshan, Teddy Robin and Zhang Guoming were still fiddling with music movies. After he came back, the filming had already started - the so-called music movie, which had no money shortly after it started filming. Teddy Robin ran to invite his old classmate, Hong Kong business celebrity Liang Li Shaoxia had a meal at the Zhucheng Hotel, fooling her investment. Liang Li Shaoxia is a heroine among women. Yu Qian was very fond of it. She borrowed the hotel name on the chopsticks and founded a film company called "Zhucheng", and then invested a lot of money. Teddy Robin felt very stressed. After discussing with Zhang Guoming, he gave up the idea of ​​shooting music movies and changed to filming the best police and gangster movies, so he had "The Point of Finger".

"Pointing the Bingbing" has a tight rhythm, a tight plot, exciting scene, and a lot of viewing. After its release, it has a win-win box office reputation. Inspired by this, it is said that Liang Li Shaoxia is interested in increasing investment and is preparing to film a few more movies in 19dU, and she wants to become the second Oriental charm.

"Crazy Job" and "Pointing the Fighting Bingbing" are both pure commercial films. The shooting techniques and directorial concepts are very novel, but they have no artistic value. "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" emphasizes artistic conception over plots. The advantages and disadvantages are too obvious and not favored by the audience. It is not easy for them to break through the siege and win the best movie.

The five mainland movies have their own characteristics and extraordinary origins. As a RU, Chen Chong was a movie fan and had watched almost all of them in his previous life.

"Little Flower" is a collective memory of an era in the mainland. The three starring actors, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong, and Liu Xiaoqing, are all in their best youth. They are all big names with excellent acting skills, so the whole movie seems flesh and blood, with a full character and a long-lasting new character. It is still worth watching twenty or thirty years later.

"The Gunshots of the Bureau of Secrets" is a successful work of commercial film attempts in mainland China. It was the most popular film in the Chinese film industry in 1979. Not to mention the content, just the number of viewers of U10 million and the box office of 18U1 million is astonishing...

"The Center of Heliocenter" is an anti-Japanese film starring Zhao Erkang and Siqin Gaowa. It tells the story of Northeast Anti-Japanese War soldiers who were seriously injured and fell behind and were captured by the Japanese army. He went through hardships and escaped, and was rescued by a widow. During the recovery period, the two had feelings, but for the great cause of anti-Japanese war, the protagonist left... The standard main melody story, but the real scene was shot in the deep mountains and forests. The filming was real, the performance was natural, and the true feelings were revealed, which had a simple charm.

"From a Slave to a General" is a biographical film by the founding military strategist Luo Binghui. It is divided into two episodes. The film lasts 180 minutes. Because it is a tribute film for the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shanghai Film Studio spared no expense and used the troops from Guangzhou and Nanjing to participate in the performance, and produced a magnificent war scene. Hong Kong movies could not make such war movies no matter what.

"The Seventh-Class Sesame Official" takes the essence of drama art, and does not stick to the stage, closely combines drama with film special stunts, and shows rich local colors and exquisite skills in singing style design and styling performance. This is a unique genre of Chinese films. Although it is niche, it is extremely artistic.

In addition to these five movies, Chen Baisheng also listed the names of the five unselected movies in the appendix, namely "Nezha's Sea", "Jinan Battle", "Ah, Cradle", "Look at this Family" and "Overseas Child"

"Nezha's Sea" is a classic among the classics of domestic cartoons, and is on par with "The Great Trouble of Heaven". Nezha's decisive look at committing suicide with a sword is an unforgettable memory of Chen Chong. He had never known that this was a 1979 movie. If he had known it, he would have long awarded the Best Animation Award for the Academy Awards.

"The Battle of Jinan" and "Ah Cradle" are both movies about the period of the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War. It is reasonable to be wiped out by the editors, but "Ah, Cradle" is one of the classic works directed by Xie Jin, and it is a pity to wipe out it.

"Look at this Family" is a comedy movie created by Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi and his son. It is also a reform attempt by Beijing Film Studio to carry out market-oriented creation. This movie is very popular in the mainland, but it is not possible in Hong Kong because it has a strong Beijing flavor. In the eyes of Hong Kong people at this time, Beijing is a very strange and mysterious place, so there is no way to appreciate the comedy jokes in Chen Peisi's daily life.

"Abroad Crime"... You can tell the political intention of the Film Bureau to send it to Hong Kong by looking at the name. This is the only movie that Chen Chong has never seen before, but he knows the theme song of this film - the famous "I Love You China".

As for Taiwan's "Story of Small Town", in front of these films, the business is not exciting enough, the literature is not connotation enough, the acting is not outstanding enough, and the production is not grand enough, and it is basically a role that accompanys the prince to study. Although the camera is beautiful, the plot is slow and the pace is slow. It is not popular with the audience than "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain", and it is basically impossible to win the championship.

"Mr. Chen." Gu Liwei opened the car door, got into the co-pilot, held a folder, and said, "This is the file you want."

"It's not me, it's you." Chen Chong put away the list and said, "You review it on the road and go to explain to Run Run Shaw later. Whether you can invite him to present the award depends on your eloquence."

Gu Liwei was surprised and stared at her eyes and asked, "Me?"
