Chapter 693 Academy Awards Reform
A week later, there was another meeting.
There were not many people here this time, only representatives from film companies and organizers, and a large private room could fit in.
Shu Qi from "Film Fortnightly" is very depressed. This year's Academy Awards are still scheduled for April, and preparations have already been made in January. At this juncture, the leftists are suddenly eyeing the Academy Awards·
Is it possible that it will be canceled this year?
Or will it be canceled in the future?
Radio Television Hong Kong's Yu Zheng stood by to comfort him, saying: "Although he acts in a domineering manner, he is still justified.
It won't be a sudden death, it's all given the chance in advance. We can talk and discuss it, and it should be fine."
"Yes, I also think it can be discussed." The representative of "Sing Tao Daily" also said.
"Sing Tao Daily" and Radio Television Hong Kong are the two organizers of the Academy Awards, but their investment is not large. They are poor every year until the broadcast rights are sold to TV stations.
"I know he can be reasonable, but I'm afraid he will make some unreasonable opinions." Shu Qi continued to press hard.
The others were amused and laughed: "Why are you so worried? It's just a prize, you can change it if you want!"
Shu Qi didn't want to talk to them. This year was the fourth edition of the Academy Awards. More and more people were participating, but there were still some who didn't care. It wasn't very authoritative.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
After waiting for a while, Chen Qi arrived and everyone stood up to greet him.
"Please have a seat, please have a seat, you're welcome!"
He waved his hand, sat down at the main seat, glanced around and said with a smile: "Judging from today's lineup, everyone doesn't pay much attention to the Academy Awards. That's fine, this will facilitate reform, so I asked straight to the point.
Mr. Shu Qi, have you started preparations for this year’s Academy Awards?”
"Here we go, the nomination list will be announced next month."
"The selection rules haven't changed, right?"
"No, mainly Film Fortnight and professional film critics."
"Do you have sufficient funds this year?"
Shu Qi's face darkened and she didn't want to answer anymore. She said, "Mr. Chen, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Don't be angry, I'm here to help you."
Chen Qi smiled and said: "I have a few suggestions, please listen to them. First of all, the trophy of the Academy Awards should be fixed and cannot be the same every year. The venue can be changed. There are no large venues in Hong Kong now.
Set a fixed theme music and background music, the scene should be solemn, all guests should be present in formal attire, lay out a red carpet if possible, and imitate the Oscar Walk of Fame -..."
"It's easy to say, all of this requires funds!" Yu Zheng said.
"Who do you blame for your reluctance to invest money? Then I will sponsor you. After the Academy Awards, you will listen to me!"
Yu Zheng remained silent.
Chen Qidao: "You have made the scene so shabby. The Academy Awards are like a pheasant award, and you still have to rely on celebrities not to come? In this way, I will help connect people and find ATV and TVB to see who is interested in buying the broadcast rights."
Once you have the money, how about setting it up properly and telling the stars here that they will all attend grandly this year?"
Everyone agrees that this is a good thing! But when did he only do good deeds without any benefits?
Shu Qi was in a state of confusion and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have any other opinions?"
"Oh, one more little suggestion."
"The selection rules remain unchanged for the time being. You need to be cautious about this. It is too hasty to change it temporarily, but I want to say something about the positioning of the awards. It is too narrow for you to limit the Academy Awards to the local area. If you want to do it, it should cover the entire Chinese-speaking world.
film awards.
Open the selection scope and accept Taiwanese films————
"It is impossible for Taiwan to participate!"
"Whether they participate or not, our attitude must be the same! We accept applications for Chinese-language films produced overseas, co-productions between mainland China and Hong Kong, and films independently produced by mainland China and screened in Hong Kong."
"this!"
Shu Qi was very embarrassed and said: "This goes against our original intention of organizing the awards. The Academy Awards are originally meant to serve Hong Kong films -..."
"Can't you change your original intention?"
Chen Qi interrupted her and said, "I am willing to discuss it with you, which means you still have a chance to agree."
Shu Qi looked constipated and was speechless. Yu Zheng helped: "Mr. Chen, are you trying to use your power to overwhelm others?"
"Yeah, what happened?"
Yu Zheng also choked.
Chen Qi was surprised: "You are also veterans, why don't you understand this principle? If I hadn't been too lazy to do anything,
If you hadn’t held it for several times and gained a certain level of experience and popularity, I wouldn’t have approached you. I would have set up a new award to see which one they go to.”
"I support the establishment of a new award!"
Zhuang Cheng was also present and was the first to raise his hand.
The other representatives didn’t care, they didn’t care what the award was, and they all said, “We also support it!”
The representative of "Sing Tao Daily" suddenly spoke up and said: "I think it's good to target all Chinese-language films! Mr. Chen emphasizes the concept of Chinese-language films wherever he goes in order to unite as one. I support the Hong Kong Film Awards changing its rules."
"
"Thank you for your affirmation!"
Chen Qi nodded to him. The founder of "Sing Tao Daily" was Hu Wenhu, an overseas Chinese from Nanyang who sold tiger balm.
He started out with things like painkillers, donated a lot of money during the Anti-Japanese War, and expressed his support for the founding of New China.
Hu Wenhu died long ago and was succeeded by his daughter Hu Xian.
Let's put it this way, Hu Xian is a member of the CPPCC.
Yu Zheng was speechless when he saw this, and kicked Shu Qi under the table. Shu Qi looked like she was forcing herself to be a prostitute, so she could only say: "We accept your opinion!"
"good!"
"The United States has the Academy Awards, and we should also have our own Academy Awards for the Chinese-speaking world, starting this year!"
Chen Qi raised his glass and stood up, and everyone followed suit.
In later generations, the Hong Kong Film Awards were controlled by various Hong Kong film associations. Everyone was an acquaintance and favored, and they kept to themselves and entertained themselves. No one paid attention to it every year.
He wants to establish a set of order in Hong Kong based on awards and trade unions, and naturally he will not behave like later generations.
Now that the matter has been finalized, it's time for Chen Qi to return to Beijing to report on his work, celebrate the New Year, love his wife, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"There is a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and there is a fat baby on the back————."
The heating was on just right, and the indoor temperature could reach 26 degrees. Gong Xue was wearing a set of loose home clothes, humming a tune and watering the flowers. The clothes covered her belly that was a little pregnant, but she was originally too thin and her waist was still very thin.
thin.
"Yeah, it's snowing!"
After watering the flowers, she looked up and saw snowflakes rising outside the window. She looked at the time, went to the kitchen and took out a piece of beef, potatoes, and a fish, preparing to make a hot and delicious meal.
Soon, beef was stewed in the pot.
Water vapor filled the glass windows, making the room even hotter. It was getting dark, and around seven o'clock in the evening, Gong Xue didn't hear the footsteps, but she seemed to have an intuition, so she got up and ran to the door.
Sure enough, the key made a clanging sound.
"oops!"
Chen Qi rushed back covered in frost and snow. Before he put down his suitcase, he was hugged by a soft body, "
,I miss you so much!」
He leaned back after being hugged, put his arm around her waist, and said with a smile, "I miss you too. I'm almost sick from thinking about it day and night."
"It doesn't sound right coming from your mouth——Give you slippers, my mother has gone back, your parents will come tomorrow."
"Why don't you come today?"
"I understand, I want to give the two of us a world, and I've prepared some delicious food for you!"
Gong Xue kissed him and brought him slippers, while Chen Qi was concerned about her belly and waited for a while before entering the room.
After tidying up, the food was ready, and he put it on the coffee table in the living room and ate while watching TV. His fatigue disappeared, and he suddenly felt that this was home. The news was playing on the TV, and he took a casual look:
There is a message inside: "A bill has just been passed to determine September 10th every year as Teachers' Day."
