Chen Chong stood on the balcony, holding a cup of half-cool tea, looking at the city lights in the distance.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the New Year of the Lunar New Year is coming, and 1979 is completely over...

Fortunately, before New Year's Eve, most of the matters in the Academy Awards were settled, and the rest were all detailed issues step by step.

When he initially proposed to let Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai present the best movie, Luo Weiming insisted that it was absolutely impossible, but nothing in the world was absolutely absolute.

Shaw Brothers and Jiahe occupy more than 80% of the Hong Kong Chinese-language film market. Filmmakers and film critics in Hong Kong all rely on Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai for dinner. Naturally, they regard them as noble gods. Chen Chong is different. He is also the boss, a boss with assets calculated in billions. Although his reputation and influence are not as good as that, he would rather bear the white-headed man than bully the young man. Run Run Shaw was 73 years old, Zou Wenhuai was 57 years old, and Chen Chong was only 1 year old. Who knows how he will achieve in the future?

As Chen Chong said, asking them to present awards is not just a murder and arson, but a matter of elegance. Everyone is carrying the flower sedan chairs. Even if there is no conflict of interests, the old guys are happy to sell their favors and gain a good reputation to support their younger generations.

Therefore, after Gu Liwei introduced the production plan of Oriental Charm 19RU, he mentioned it slightly that Run Run Shaw agreed to attend the Academy Awards ceremony. In addition to being a guest, he will also receive the Lifetime Achievement Award - a spiritual award of final nature. It does not require a jury decision and can be announced early. As the highest reputation and oldest film tycoon in Hong Kong, the Lifetime Achievement Award at the First Academy Awards is the only one.

After finishing Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, the next one was Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che, who were awarded the Best Director Award. These two were both award presenters and judges.

Li Hanxiang is a sleek and socialized brother, and is a sworn brother with Hu Jinquan. In his autobiography, he set off fireworks and sarcastic people everywhere. Even Run Run Shaw was not spared, but as long as Hu Jinquan is mentioned, there is no word that is bad, it is all a praising word. Chen Chong asked Hu Jinquan to make a phone call, he would definitely attend.

It’s even simpler for Zhang Che. As long as he finds someone to come to the door and talks about the benefits of the Golden Star Awards, he will definitely be happy to attend. Run Run Shaw is a pure businessman, while Zhang Che is a pure filmmaker. He has no children in his life, neither loves money nor lust, and his efforts are all on the movies. He has trained five batches of "Zhang Family Classes" and countless disciples.

Zhang Che was not good at managing. When he was old, his family had lost all his wealth and had no plays to film. He lived alone in Shaw's dormitory, writing endlessly and wrote hundreds of scripts. Even though he was seriously ill, he still ran around a few months before his death, giving advice on Hong Kong movies that were declining, shaking flags and shouting. Di Long went to see him and advised him to rest more. He refused and wrote a letter to break up with him. It can be said that this was a great director with a pure movie heart.

These two people made great contributions to Chinese movies. Chen Chong went to the door to invite him, not for anything else, just for respect

There is still no news about Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn. If they haven't responded after the Spring Festival, Shen Chong wouldn't wait and make a substitution. CAA developed rapidly last year and signed several big stars, such as Sean Connery. As the first starring actor of UU7, the more charming the older they are, it is also a good choice to award the Best Actor Award.

However, even if the two starring actors of "Roman Holiday" gathered in Xiangjiang, Chen Chong would have to break them apart and choose two Chinese-language stars to match them, and awarded the Best Actor and Best Actress respectively. These two Chinese-language movie stars, one of them is naturally Xia Meng, and the other, Chen Chong was about to find Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan is the only remaining veteran of Chinese films, legends and living fossils. He starred in "The Road Angel" and "The Cross" in the 1930s, "The Crow and Sparrow" in the 1940s, "The Legend of Wu Xun" and Lin Zexu in the 1950s, and "Immortality in the Fire" in the 1960s are all classic business cards, especially "The Road Angel" and "The Cross", which are both world-class classic movies.

At the beginning of the 21st century, at the turn of the century, there were various inventory activities everywhere. Among them, "Asia Weekly" selected the "Top 10 Chinese Movies of the Century", the Hong Kong Film Review Society selected the "200 Classics - 0 Best Chinese Movies", the Hong Kong Film Awards selected the "100 Best Chinese Movies", the 5th Chinese Movie Media Awards hosted by "Southern Metropolis Daily" selected the "100 Chinese Movies", and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards selected the "Top 100 Films in Film History".

In the selection of five authoritative media in the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan, a total of P8 movies appeared, among which "The Road Angel" was all selected, "The Cross Street" and Lin Zexu" were shortlisted in the list of three media, "The Crow and the Sparrow" and "The Legend of Wu Xun" were shortlisted in the list of two media. This shows the glory of Zhao Dan's acting career.

Chen Chong would naturally not let go of such a big movie. Last year, when he visited cultural celebrities in Beijing, he went to his house. Zhao Dan also agreed to come to Hong Kong for a walk at the right time.

The award presenters of the four most popular awards were decided by Shen Chong himself, and the remaining awards were handed over to the preparatory committee to contact and invite him, so he no longer intervened.

As for the formation of the jury, it has been completed by more than half.

The mainland system is special. As long as Shen Chong proposes it and the official agrees, the parties involved basically have no capital to take, so there is no need to worry too much.

When he went to Taipei, the Taiwan Five had already settled all the reviewers in Hong Kong. Nine of them have been settled, and only the legendary Eileen Chang is left. However, Luo Weiming has already gone to Los Angeles and promised that there will be news after the Spring Festival.

Among the ten judges in Hong Kong, in terms of cultural influence, except for Zhang Ailing, it is Jin Yong. For others, Jin Yong may not be easy to invite, but it is not difficult for Chen Chong, because he has a good relationship with Xia Meng. As we all know, Xia Meng is Jin Yong's dream lover for life. Her name is from Jin Yong. Li Shangyin's poem "Unt Title" says: "There are no roads to Pengshan here, and the blue bird is diligent in exploring it." The meaning of this is self-evident.

With Xia Meng's help and a little communication with Jin Yong, he agreed to join the Academy Awards jury, and laughed and said that it was a favor from Shen Chong. After Chen Chong's reputation rose, he only accepted an exclusive interview with Ming Pao Weekly in Hong Kong. This exclusive interview was repeatedly cited by other publications, including many authoritative overseas media, which made Ming Pao earn a lot of reputation and copyright fees.

"What are you thinking?"

Chen Chong withdrew his thoughts from the sky. He looked back at Li Kaiyuan and said, "It's nothing, just look at the night view."

Li Kaiyuan handed him the steaming teacup in his hand, then half-supported the wooden balcony guardrail with his arms, and asked, "Are you worried?"

"No, it's just random thoughts." Chen Chong shook his head and asked, "Yuan Yuan, why don't you like watching movies?"

"Who said I don't love it?" Li Kaiyuan turned his head, looked at him, and said, "When I was a child, I often took you secretly to watch my dad play movies. Do you still remember?"

"That was when you were a child. Now you haven't been to the theater for a long time." Shen Chong said without a trace: "I thought you were growing up and didn't like to watch it anymore."

"The newspapers often say that movies are dream-making machines." Li Kaiyuan looked at the lights in the distance and said, "I was already in a dream, so why do I still want to see others dreaming."

"How do you say this?"

"Are you not all about filming wealth and love?" Li Kaiyuan said with a faint smile: "How many women in this world are richer than me? How many women are more exciting than my love? I just need to live a good life, act myself well, and do this dream well, so why bother to watch others act like it."

Chen Chong stared at her pretty face blankly, and after a while, he said, "Besides wealth and love, the movie will still play something else."

"It's just a shell." Li Kaiyuan gathered his hair that was blown by the wind and said, "Didn't you say that deliciousness and lust are the instincts of human reproduction and survival? Movies always require people to act. As long as they are played by people, how can they break out of money and love?"

Chen Chong was surprised: "Have I said such a thing?"

"It's not what you said, is it still what I said? I'm not lustful," Li Kaiyuan sneered, stood up straight, and said, "Others filming, either to make money or women. You have been working hard for a year, and you are more busy than the Governor of Hong Kong. You haven't made many money. Women... Women still want me to help. Why do you work so hard for?"

"After you say this, I feel that life is really failure." Chen Chong smiled bitterly, holding the teacup, and said, "It's just like it. In life, you must always do something you like, just like your father likes to do carpenters.

"It's good that you like it." Li Kaiyuan hugged his arm, changed the topic, and said, "My mother asked me to ask you, she has some spare money and wants to make some investments, what should I buy?"

Chen Chong drank tea and said, "Isn't it enough to invest in you? After the Spring Festival, the toy factory will expand the second phase of the project?"

"She wants to make money quickly." Li Kaiyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "It will take at least half a year for the new factory next to Shenzhen to start production. Moreover, she is always worried that the mainland will change its policies and dare not invest. Besides, she only has HK$40 million, and even if she invests in it, the return rate is not high."

"What a profit for the hot pot restaurant?" Chen Chong was stunned and asked, "The two stores have made four or five million in just a few months?"

"How could it be that much?" Li Kaiyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I guess it was the neighbors of the past who had collected all their spare money and handed it over to her for investment. Who made the family produce a God of Wealth?"

"The God of Wealth is a gimmick advertisement. I can't be treated as a real person. I often do business at a loss." Chen Chong frowned and said, "If you lose money, where will your mother put your face?"

"So you have to give a good idea." Li Kaiyuan pursed his lips and said, "Or invest in buying a few houses. House prices have been rising. Although it is a little slower, it is stable."

"Real estate has always been a game where big fish eat small fish. If you can't buy a few houses for millions, you will be trapped when there is any movement." Chen Chong put the cup on the guardrail and said, "Give me the money, I'll lend it to a big fish, follow it and drink some soup and earn some interest."

"To whom?"

"Li Ka-shing." Chen Chong said with a smile: "Last year, he swallowed an elephant. After eating Hutchison Whampoa, his funds were tight. Recently, he had to make a deal with Hui Defeng and had to pay a deposit of 500 million in advance. He is now raising funds everywhere.

"He wants to acquire Hui Defeng?"

"How is it possible? You really think he is Superman. Hutchison Whampoa is enough for him to digest for many years. Hui Defeng is one of the four major overseas banks. How can he buy it if he wants to buy it?" Chen Chong shook his head and said, "Bao Yugang is desperately selling ships, Hui Defeng is desperately buying ships, and he is short of money. So he adopted a joint venture and jointly ventured with Changjiang Industrial, each occupying 50 shares. He established a real estate company and sold its subsidiaries' Federal Building and International Building in Central to a billion yuan. He sold it to this real estate company. Li Ka-shing needs to use 500 million yuan to make a deposit before reselling it. According to his assessment, these two buildings are worth at least 100 million yuan and have an amazing profit margin. According to his assessment, these two buildings are worth at least 100 million yuan and have an amazing profit margin.

"This kind of thing is a trade secret." Li Kaiyuan looked at him and asked, "How did you know?"

"I'm busy restarting Jiayi TV recently and looking for shareholders everywhere." Chen Chong leaned against the guardrail and said, "I have fooled Li Ka-shing several times, but he always refuses. He nodded and agreed to invest the stock the day before yesterday, but asked me to help him raise funds."

"Aren't he afraid of you intercepting the slander?"
