"Except for the judge." Chen Chong took a sip of tea, leaned against the office chair, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Does the host and guests of the award ceremony have any eyebrows?"

"If H is sure to do live broadcasts," Chen Bosheng stuffed the list of interview invitations into his briefcase and said: "The host can be seconded from the TV station. I have talked with He Shouxin. He promised to host with friendship at that time and there is no charge."

He Shouxin is the host of H's signature program "Happy Tonight". He is known as the "Gold Medal Emcee". He is not only humorous, wise, sharp eloquent, but also has a mellow and magnetic voice. He is an excellent broadcasting voice and is well-known in Hong Kong. He entered the TV industry in 19 years and has been the top host in Hong Kong until the 1st century. He is a super evergreen.

"He Shouxin is good." After Chen Chong traveled through time, he watched several episodes of "Happy Tonight" and had a good impression of He Shouxin. He pinched the pen with both hands, rubbed his chin, and said, "H is not sure that he wants to do live broadcast, but I have to do live broadcast, but there are still some details with them that have not been agreed upon yet."

"Boss Shen, what details are you talking about with TVH?" Luo Weiming complained: "If you drag on it, if H stops broadcasting, you can only go to Li's TV. Do you know that H was broadcasting wrong last year, and the audience could not receive the signal. They would rather watch the snowflakes than watch Li's program. This shows how bad Li's ratings are.

"Lao Luo, you have a bad mentality." Chen Chong pointed him with a pen and said, "When doing business, you are most afraid of your weak mentality of wanting to pay. Although Li's TV's ratings are bleak, its signal coverage area is the same as H. When hardware is equal, software is the king. The ratings are always based on content. We have celebrities, scenes, gimmicks, and exclusive business. Have you ever seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Now H is Cao Cao, Li's is Liu Bei, and the Golden Star Award is Sun Quan. It is a battle or harmony. We are the key. How can we sell it casually."

"I don't understand the business skills." Luo Weiming asked while sucking the clouds and fog: "But last time, we said that the arrangement and shooting of the award ceremony were all independently responsible. H only provides signal broadcasting, just like packing and delivering takeaway. What details are there to discuss? Pay one hand and deliver the goods the other hand, isn't it okay."

"There are so many details." Chen Chong turned his pen and said, "For example, the live broadcast price of awards ceremony, such as how many advertisements will be inserted, how many seconds each advertisement will be, the content of the advertisement and the type of product..."

"Wait, wait." Luo Weiming made a pause gesture and asked, "I understand the insertion of advertisements, but why do you still have to care about the content of the advertisement? This is the H advertising department's business."

"Okay, I'll give you an example." Chen Chong cleared his throat, used the pen as a microphone, and said: "The best actress in the Hong Kong Film Awards will be awarded soon. Don't go away. After the advertisement, come back immediately... That painless, every month is relaxed, women are happy in the month of the month, Gao Jie silk sanitary napkin, the best choice for women..."

Before Chen Chong finished speaking, Luo Weiming laughed loudly, and Chen Baisheng couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Luo Weiming stopped laughing and pointed at him and said, "Boss Shen, it's a pity that you don't want to be an advertiser. Hu Shuru really should ask you to be the director of advertising."

"The Film Awards are good, but it is also a brand, a fashionable and high-end brand. The advertisements played during the ceremony will affect the audience's impression and must be taken seriously. So I want to talk to H about the details and indicate on the contract which products are not allowed to be broadcasted. At the same time, the advertisements must be reviewed." Chen Chong did not laugh and said seriously: "I just gave an example just now, not to reject sanitary napkin advertisements. This is a daily necessity and can be inserted, but the advertisements must be made very creative and beautiful, in line with the temperament and image of the Film Awards. You cannot make some simple and rough shots perfunctory things. No spam advertisements like ", the best, and the like are allowed to be broadcast."

"A Chong thought deeply, and these details really need to be paid attention to." Chen Baisheng took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said: "If you want to do it, do it best, and make it into famous brands, so that the Golden Star Awards can go better."

"Okay, Boss Shen, I admit that what you think makes sense." Luo Weiming shook his head, picked up the cigarette box, and said, "But since Jiayi TV went bankrupt, the H family has dominated and domineering, and may not agree to these terms."

"Lao Luo, say something disgusting. If you go to talk to me, H may ignore it." Chen Baisheng took the cigarette he handed over and said, "But A Chong's identity is different. You can talk directly to the senior management, so they have no choice but to ignore it."

"That's right. Anyway, Boss Shen has money. If H disagrees, it is not impossible for him to directly buy out all the ads in the broadcast."

"Not to talk about this for now." Chen Chong moved his somewhat stiff shoulders for a moment and said, "In addition to He Shouxin, he also needs a female host. Who are you going to find?"

"Lease Wang." Luo Weiming said with a wicked smile: "It just so happened that they were rumored to be a matchmaker in the Academy Awards, and a pair of mandarin ducks appeared on stage together, which was a gimmick."

Liza Wang is the head of Sister H, the treasure of the Taiwan Strait, and has a good image and temperament, which is a very good choice.

"They are in the same unit and host the "Happy Tonight" every week. Do we still need to be matchmakers?" Chen Baisheng retorted, and then said: "Whether it is H or Li's TV, it is a Cantonese TV for Hong Kong audiences. He Shouxin must explain it in Cantonese, but there were many guests from mainland and Taiwan at the award ceremony. They didn't understand Cantonese, so I think we should find a host who speaks Mandarin to match it."

"I remember Liza Wang grew up in Shanghai when she was a child." Chen Chong sat upright and said, "She can't speak Mandarin?"

"It's OK, but it's not standard enough." Chen Baisheng took a sip of cigarette and asked, "A Chong, are there any good hosts in the mainland?"

"I don't know much about this." Chen Chong only knew Zhao Zhongxiang, a famous mainland host who debuted before 19RU, but he was still a reporter and announcer at this time, and had never been a large host. "The mainland TV station has just started and seems to have no outstanding host yet."

"Then you can only find it from Taiwan." Chen Bosheng pondered for a moment and said, "How about Hu Yinmeng? She was the host of the last Golden Horse Awards, and her temperament and conversation are good."

"Hu Yinmeng is so beautiful, her beauty is a disaster." Luo Wei flapped the ashes and said, "It is said that she is about to marry Li Ao. Zhuo Botang talked to me the day before yesterday and said that the Taiwan Cultural Bureau had clearly banned her and was not allowed to participate in China Film and Television events. The performance contract she signed before the New Year was cancelled. But then again, the "Inside and Outside the Wall" she performed last year was also selected for several awards, so it is not appropriate to be a host."

"It's not that the beauty is a disaster, but that the beauty is a poor life. It's Li Ao that dragged her down." Chen Chong and Hu Yin dreamed of meeting each other several times, and they had a good impression of her and were friends. After defending her, they said: "Being a host does not affect the fairness and fairness of the awards. It doesn't matter whether they are shortlisted or not. There is no need to be so rigid."

"Then please invite her?"

"No, don't be anxious first." Chen Chong waved his hand and was silent for a while, and said: "There is no satellite broadcast signal in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This time I went to Taipei. One of the important purposes is to want Taiwan's TV stations to play videos of the Academy Awards ceremony and expand the influence of the Academy Awards. If Hu Yinmeng is really banned by the official, it is not appropriate to invite her to host."

"Since that's the case, how about Zhang Xiaoyan?" Luo Weiming, as the editor-in-chief of "Movie Age", knows well-known figures in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles. He said: "She started acting at the age of 5 and now has about 40 movies. Although she is only in her early 30s, she is already one of the oldest actors in Taiwan. The "Variety Show 100" hosted is also the most watched variety show in Taiwan now. With her as the host, she should be very good at finding a Chinese TV company to record the Academy Awards."

Zhang Xiaoyan is the eldest sister of Taiwanese variety shows. Chen Chong has been famous for a long time, but she has never watched the show she hosted and does not know what the hosting style is, so she hesitated that the vulgar entertainment style in Taiwan in the 21st century was something he avoided and afraid of.

"Okay, after I go to Taipei, I will contact her to talk." Chen Chong wrote a note on the memo and said, "For the host, let's just say this first. Let's talk about the most troublesome guest problem."

"Boss Shen, before discussing the guests, I will tell you a very unfavorable news first." Luo Weiming said: "This year's Oscars will be held at the Los Angeles Music Center in California on April 14th local time in the United States. This day is Sunday, April 13th, Hong Kong time, on the same day as our Academy Awards ceremony."

Chen Chong was stunned when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is the news true?"

"New news came out in the Hollywood Reporter." Luo Weiming rubbed the cigarette butts and said, "It's true."

"Damn" Chen Chong swears, frowning and asked, "As a convention, hasn't the Oscars been held at the end of March?"

"Who knows?" Luo Weiming smiled and joked: "Maybe there are spies from the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences in our preparatory committee who deliberately delayed the award ceremony in order to fight against the Academy Awards and deliberately crashed the car to kill us in the cradle."

Chen Chong laughed and complained, "This is competing with me for the headlines."

"We are the Chinese Film Awards, they are the English Film Awards, and there is not much conflict. Besides, we are in Hong Kong, and they are in Los Angeles, thousands of kilometers apart." Chen Baisheng said disapprovingly: "The water of the well does not interfere with the river, each does its own thing."

"It's related, it's related." Chen Chong sighed, leaned on the back of the chair, and said weakly: "I originally planned to invite two Hollywood brands to be award presenters, and they were all a little surprised, but after the collision with the Oscars, these two people were basically ruined."

"Boss Shen." Luo Weiming loved gossip the most, and he asked with interest: "Who are you planning to hire?"

"Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn." Chen Chong looked at the shocked expressions of the two, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "One awarded the Best Actor Award, the other awarded the Best Actress Award, the Gentleman Princess reunited in the East, a picturesque scene, a pity, a pity..."

"If these two people come to present the award, they will definitely detonate the whole city." Luo Weiming was excited again. He stood up, walked forward, supported the desk with his hands, stared at Chen Chong and asked, "Boss Shen, do you think you have any doubts?"

"On New Year's Day, I had contact with their agents through an American agency. I gave me a feedback two days ago, and had the intention to come to Hong Kong together." Chen Chong crossed his hands and his thumbs unconsciously touched him, saying, "But it's not possible now. Gregory Parker is a senior executive of the American Actors Union. Hepburn returned to Hollywood to film last year. The two of them would never miss the Oscars to be awards guests for a new film festival in the Far East."

"What if we postpone the award ceremony or advance it?"

"In order to match the itinerary of Hollywood stars, change the time of the award ceremony." Chen Chong asked seriously: "Lao Luo, are you sure?"

"Yes, Lao Luo." Chen Bosheng said: "Doing this will affect the authority and credibility of the Academy Awards."

"But we have not yet announced the specific time for the award ceremony to the outside world." Luo Weiming waved his hand and argued: "That's Pike and Hepburn. If they come, they will greatly increase the fame and attention of the Academy Awards, and the ratings will also soar. Last year, Elizabeth came to the Golden Horse Awards, and media from Hong Kong and Taiwan rushed to report. We are a new film award, and we need such exposure."

When Chen Baisheng heard this, hesitated and had to look at Chen Chong and wait for him to make a decision.

Chen Chong was also hesitant. As Luo Weiming said, a big star like Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn who was a guest at the award ceremony will greatly ignite the exposure of the Academy Awards and increase its popularity. However, it will rashly change the schedule that has been determined and will make a bad start. In my past life in memory, Zeng Zhiwei celebrated his birthday in 2013, and the Academy Awards were rescheduled. It was really a big deal and his integrity was broken...

But then again, as long as he can continue to be strong and escort, the Academy Awards will never fall to that level.

In this era, both the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan have not very high film levels. In the world's mainstream film landscape, there is basically no right to speak. Although Chen Chong wants to respect himself, in the eyes of the world, all the trophies of the Academy Awards combined are probably not as eye-catching as Audrey Hepburn's hat.

At this moment, relatively speaking, the popularity of the Academy Awards is more important than authority.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Chong picked up the calendar on the table, turned to April, looked at the date, and asked, "If it were held one week in advance, would it be too tight?"

"If Boss Shen can invite these two people," Luo Weiming patted his chest and promised: "Even if I work overtime all night every day, I will finish the preparations."

"You say this, it won't be convincing at all." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Because you don't know how much work there is to prepare for the award ceremony. Brother Chen, tell me, is it too late one week in advance?"

Chen Baisheng took out the notebook from his briefcase, studied it carefully for a while, and said: "There are many commercial jobs that are difficult to do. For example, contacting hotels, booking fleets, and negotiating with luxury goods companies, I don't have the right person in my hands. If I can ask Zhu Jiading to come and help, I will be sure to get everything done before April 1st."

"Not now, he is doing Sony's advertising." Chen Chong thought for a while and said, "After the Spring Festival, I can go and help you."

"That's OK," Chen Bosheng immediately said: "Before the Spring Festival, all he did was to produce copywriting work such as shortlisted movie specials, and he didn't need him."

"Besides Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn." Rowemin was not interested in organizational work. He returned to the sofa and asked, "Are there any other big names, such as Kurosawa? He is very suitable to award the Best Director Award."

"What do you want so many celebrities to do?" Chen Chong curled his lips and said, "Eating too much at once will easily choke. Except for these two stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, I am not going to invite foreigners to come again, so as not to overestimate the main players."

"It's enough for these two to come." Luo Weiming spat out the smoke ring with satisfaction and said, "Boss Shen, you have to be sure that you can invite me. Don't let us be busy all the time, and it will be in vain in the end."

Chen Chong nodded, without commenting, he arranged the calendar and asked, "You said, would you please ask government officials to be award presenters?"

"not good"

“Absolutely not suitable”

"Why?" Chen Chong was surprised. The two of them spoke in unison, and their reaction was even more intense than when they heard Hepburn just now. He asked: "Officials can also improve the reputation of the Academy Awards."

"Movies are an art. It is best not to have any art with politics, as it will deteriorate as soon as it is touched." Luo Weiming shook his hand repeatedly and said, "Is the lessons from the mainland not enough? Just stay away from each other and don't talk to each other.

"If an official comes forward, he may get government support. It will be better if he does it with half the effort in the future?"

"Not rare." Chen Bosheng also shook his head and said: "Hong Kong movies have never been supported by the government. They live a good life. Taiwan's official support is a lot, but they are not as weak as they are wild children. Even if they are dressed in official skins and are inappropriate, they are not good."

"Okay." Chen Chong knocked his fingers on the table and said, "Then arrange the official and the official's wife in the ceremonial hall."

"If Parker and Hepburn were the first to be awarded, the best actor and actress awards will be decided." Chen Baisheng put away his notepad and said, "How to arrange other awards?"

"Please come out the respected people of the jury Reed." Chen Chong said with a smile: "Let Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che go to present the Best Director Award. These two have been fighting for twenty years, so it's time to shake hands and make peace."

"Boss Shen, see what you mean..." Hearing the Xian Ge knows the meaning, Luo Weiming also smiled and said, "Best movie, do you want to invite Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai to present it together?"

"What's wrong?"
