Chapter 97 Report
Zhang Aijia opened her eyes and found that Chen Chong was no longer there. She couldn't help but sigh silently, looked at the ceiling for a while, then lifted the quilt, put on her pajamas, and walked towards the outer room of the suite.
"Sister Zhang, good morning."
"Vivian, it's you, it's early." Zhang Aijia looked at Chen Chong, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, smiled, and said, "I thought you were going to work."
"I was so tired last night that I was so tired that I rested this morning." Chen Chong pointed to the food on the coffee table and said, "Do you want to eat some?"
The two of them did nothing last night, but outsiders were present. Zhang Aijia felt sensitive, her face turned slightly red, and she waved her hand in a panic and said, "I'll go wash up first."
Then he escaped back to the bedroom.
Seeing this, Gu Liwei felt a little embarrassed, so she asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, why don't I go back to the company first?
"No." Chen Chong said while reading the newspaper: "Why, are you afraid that I will kill someone to silence me?"
Gu Liwei followed Chen Chong for so long and knew that he would only make jokes when he was in a good mood. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "It's not like killing someone to silence me. I'm afraid you will fire me."
"With your resume and ability, even if you are fired, you won't be able to find a job anywhere."
"It's easy to find jobs." Gu Liwei found a piece from a pile of newspapers on the coffee table, opened it to him, and said, "It's hard to find a job for the most attractive men in Asia."
Chen Chong glanced at the title on the newspaper, smiled and said, "A newspaper as big as the Tiantian Daily, it doesn't report on the award ceremony, but reports on my personal boring personal affairs. I really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
"Mr. Chen is a first-class business genius in Asia and a first-class lyricist in Asia. He has both wealth and talent, knows and is a most ideal role model in men's hearts, and a most ideal lover in women's hearts." Gu Liwei read the newspaper and said with a smile: "So he was rated as the most attractive man in Asia."
"Bored." Chen Chong looked down on this.
In 19RU, in an environment where the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were still confronting each other, he brought together filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places to hold a very historical and pioneering Academy Award. This real achievement far exceeds the plagiarism with original sin. The praise brought by the three songs last night and the pleasure brought to him were not as good as singing "Favorite" in Taipei to Zhang Aijia.
To be honest, even if the newspapers praise him, they don’t feel anything. He asked Gu Liwei to deliver the newspapers early in the morning just to observe the reactions of all aspects - Hong Kong is sandwiched between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the media have different political backgrounds and stances. For example, the "Business Daily", the "Hong Kong Times", and the "Tai Kung Pao", the "Hong Kong Business Daily" and the "Wen Hui Po" are newspapers with mainland backgrounds, while the "Sheng Bao", "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" have a tendency to be left or right.
Last night's award ceremony was extremely newsworthy and had a huge amount of information. All newspapers in Hong Kong made special reports on this. The least newspaper also gave four pages. Chen Chong did not care much about the extravagant pictures and texts that displayed and boasted about the Golden Horse Awards, but focused his attention on some comments.
"The Golden Horse Awards are under the top of Mount Tai, and the Golden Horse Awards are as dangerous as eggs... As a folk film award with a strong Shen family color, the Golden Horse Awards actually tried to give awards to all filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Kingdoms. Before the awards ceremony, many people, including the author, disagreed and thought it was just an entertainment show to make money. However, the award ceremony last night was not over halfway. To be precise, after Master Lin Fengmian appeared, I knew I was wrong... The Golden Horse Awards, as the official film award, has many constraints and is restricted everywhere.
The Academy Awards are folk awards, which can penetrate the iron curtain of political confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. In addition, Shen’s sponsorship is not short of money and people. It can be said that it is like a fish in water. Although it was only the first last night, its scale, weight and demeanor have surpassed the Golden Horse Awards. Although the Academy Awards are in Hong Kong and the Golden Horse Awards are in Taiwan, the film markets between Hong Kong and Taiwan are inseparable, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There will inevitably be a fierce competition between the two. If the Golden Horse Awards are not reformed, the future will be worrying."
"Is the Hong Kong film industry going to change?... Uncle Liu is so scheming and spent 23 years to create a Shaw Cinema, which is called "Oriental Hollywood" by the American Time magazine. It produces forty or fifty movies every year, and has more than 100 theaters around the world. Millions of people watch Shaw movies every day... Shen Chong is imposing and holds the copyright of thousands of movies in his hand. In just two months, he has opened more than 100 videotape rental chain stores in Hong Kong, with daily turnover
With a whopping million Hong Kong dollars, it is the invisible king of theaters in Hong Kong... Last night at the award ceremony, Shen Caishen said that he would also win the Lifetime Achievement Award in the New Year, and specially invited the sixth uncle to present the award at that time. He was ambitious, and the sixth uncle immediately agreed with pleasure, waiting for the effort, hiding needles in the cotton, each old and a young, each with his own plans, and there was also a cold-eyed Zou Wenhuai next to him. In the future, the Hong Kong film industry will inevitably be in turmoil and wars will continue. Let us wait and see who will die."
"The Hong Kong film industry urgently needs new stars... The Hong Kong film market has been booming for decades. There are dozens of production companies that produce two or three hundred movies a year, second only to Hollywood. However, Hong Kong has always been mainly low-cost movies, with low weight and low quality. In addition, the salary of employees is relatively low and the star taste is insufficient. After Bruce Lee, there have been no big stars who sell the top stars, and the movie actors are not as popular as TV actors... At the award ceremony last night, if Xu Shaoqiang had not won the best supporting actor, the Hong Kong actors were almost wiped out. This situation cannot help but alert people... Taiwan has Erlin, Zhang Aijia, Hu Yinmeng, and Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing in the mainland. They are all actors who can give people a deep impression at first sight. On the other hand, after counting in Hong Kong, there are only Jing Li, and although Liza Wang and Zhao Yazhi are bright and charming, they are both HR contracted artists and cannot be regarded as filmmakers..."
"Will the Film Awards become a precursor to the loosening of the political structure between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait? ... The scene of mainland director Xie Jin presenting awards to Taiwanese newcomer Hou Hsiao-hsien is of great significance. This is the first time that filmmakers on both sides shook hands and talked happily in public since 1949. Although the delegations between the mainland and Taiwan were clearly distinguished and had little communication during the award ceremony last night, it has been a progress for both sides to gather together and sit peacefully in the same concert hall... Since Deng Gong came to power in the mainland, it has been a kind of progress...
, His attitude towards Taiwan has softened a lot, and he repeatedly shouted from time to time to change confrontation into dialogue, but Taiwan officials have always ignored it. This time, he sent a delegation of many people to participate in the Academy Awards. Although it was in the name of folk cultural exchanges, this attitude is worth pondering... If the Academy Awards can become a channel for cross-strait exchanges, promote mutual communication and trust between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and break the ice of confrontation, Mr. Shen Chong's unintentional show of wealth will bring immeasurable merits..."
Shen Chong bombed the editorial of "Chengbao" in his hand, sighed and said, "There are 5 million people in Hong Kong, and only one person has touched a little bit of scraps, it is hard to find a soulmate."
"I feel so much emotion when reading a newspaper." Zhang Aijia walked out wearing a pullover and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at it casually."
Zhang Aijia sat down beside him, picked up a piece of toast, and said, "Today is Monday, there is "Movie Age"? Show me."
"Sister Zhang, here." Gu Liwei took the magazine attentively and handed it to her, saying, "Sister Zhang, your embroidered dress was so beautiful yesterday and was named the best dress at the awards ceremony."
"No?" Zhang Aijia asked with a smile: "Audrey Hepburn's style should be the best. She is so elegant. She is still so charming in her 50s. I really hope I can do that even if I am 50s. Which page is the photo of the red carpet?"
"I wore Audrey Hepburn's dress once a few years ago, so I didn't choose it." Gu Liwei leaned over and turned the magazine to one of the pages, saying, "Look, how beautiful."
"Young Master Chen is elegant and Zhang Aijia shines in the audience." Chen Chong looked at the newspaper while reciting the title on the photo and said, "Now your pay is going to increase again."
Zhang Aijia glanced at him, bit the toast, and said vaguely: "You don't let me take on a show outside, where can I get the salary?"
"I am protecting you." Chen Chong changed into a new newspaper and said, "You are the Golden Horse Film Queen now. You should be more meticulous than mixed films. Why bother joining in the fun of those movies that are not nutritious? If the audience sees you in this movie today and sees you in that movie tomorrow, you will become a yellow-faced woman and will depreciate."
"How can you improve your acting skills if you don't act too much?" Zhang Aijia said unconvinced and said, "If you act like everything, you will have a wide range of acting skills."
"What acting skills can you hone in those unparalleled love movies? What kind of acting can you do if you play a female student who falls into the dust or a sister-in-law who has an affair with your brother-in-law? It's better to act in a good show than to act in ten bad movies."
After Chen Chong finished speaking, he turned his body to read the newspaper and ignored her.
Zhang Aijia faced him with a few gestures behind him, and then went to discuss the photos of the show with Gu Liwei.
"The Golden Star Awards, a hodgepodge of inappropriateness... Shen Cai Shen was so happy that he stewed all the movies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions last year. He thought that the Golden Star Awards were like the "scaring hot pot, and everything could be done. As a result, he made a four-dimensional TVH that was a Cantonese TV station. The two hosts actually hosted in Mandarin, thinking it was a Mandarin film? Xu Shaoqiang and Ann Hui couldn't speak Mandarin at all. They went up to speak Cantonese. The guests from the mainland and Taiwan were confused, and they were talking to each other, messing around... The Golden Star Awards played three Cantonese songs, and they were mixed with a Mandarin song, as if they were stuck together... It’s hard to swallow raw food, why do you want to play Mandarin songs? Obviously, it’s to win over Taiwanese people, because anyone with discerning eyes knows that Taiwanese movies cannot be compared with the mainland, and they are even less than Hong Kong. The fate of being a supporting actor, Shen Caishen specially went to invite two Taiwanese singers to give Taiwanese face, and also made a Mandarin song... Taiwanese people have the Golden Horse Award, and the mainland is said to be doing a Hundred Flowers Award. From the author’s point of view, Shen Caishen should be down-to-earth and concentrate on making a movie award that belongs to Hong Kong people. Speaking Cantonese and singing Cantonese songs are the bright road…”
"Vivian." Chen Chong folded the newspaper, pointed to the comments above, and said, "You go and check it out to see how old this columnist is. If he is less than 50, he will make an invitation to give it to him."
Gu Liwei was confused and asked, "What invitation?"
"An invitation to attend the Academy Awards ceremony 17 years later." Chen Chong said with a smile: "Draw a mouse on the invitation and draw a smaller eye."
"ah?"
"What?" Chen Chong said seriously: "I said I'll give it to you."
Zhang Aijia took the newspaper, looked at it for a few times, smiled and asked, "What if this author has passed 50?"
"He has not been confused for forty years. He has not been confused for ten years. He is still so ignorant, so there is no need to care. Cao Cao said that Yuan Shu was a dry bone in the tomb, and this kind of person is just." Chen Chong stood up, stretched his waist, and asked, "When will the mainland delegation leave?"
"They left after lunch." Gu Liwei stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, I met Captain Wang of the mainland delegation in the morning. He collected everyone's dresses, put them together, and insisted on returning them to us."
"I knew that the old man Wang Yang was stubborn." Chen Chong smiled and said, "But in the mainland environment, they had no use to take those dresses back. They could only put them at home to show off their clothes secretly, and they might even cause trouble. You can follow the method I said last time, find a few careful girls, organize each person's dresses, then pack them, label them, and put them in the warehouse where the movie copies are stored. The environment there is good, and after more than ten years, the clothes can be preserved."
Zhang Aijia was puzzled and asked, "What is this?"
"There is no reason to get the things I gave back." Chen Chong explained: "I keep everyone's dresses and wait for ten or eight years before they can get them."
Zhang Aijia was stunned and said, "Can you still do this?"
"Why can't it?" Chen Chong laughed and said, "If they don't come and get it in more than ten years, I'll take it for auction. Maybe it can be sold at a high price."
"What a profiteer"
"Vivian." Chen Chong picked up half a glass of milk from the coffee table, drank it all, and asked, "When will the flight between Parker and Hepburn?"
“At 4:30 p.m..”
"I'll treat them to hot pot at noon. Have you arranged it?"
"All arranged, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the ingredients are ready."
Zhang Aijia looked up and asked in surprise: "Did you invite them to hot pot?"
"What's wrong with the hot pot?" Chen Chong said without caring, "That's a Chinese specialty dish, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and pawns. You can go together."
Zhang Aijia naturally knew where to eat hot pot. Her face changed and she hesitated: "I'll just not go anymore."
"It's okay, go together." Chen Chong sat down, held her hand, and said, "I won't make you embarrassed."
