After reading the algorithm files that Chen Chong took out, the editors whispered and talked a lot. After a while, Lin Niantong, the editor-in-chief of "First Movie Review", said: "Mr. Chen, I don't understand mathematics, but since it was specially developed by mathematicians, it must be very scientific and rigorous, but this solution is difficult to implement."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Another editor echoed: "One of the things there are too many movies, nearly 400, and secondly, the way the audience votes is questionable. If only Hong Kong audiences vote as the main body, those movies that are not released in Hong Kong will suffer a lot. If mainland and Taiwanese audiences are included, the collection and organization of voting will be a very large project. Moreover, this operation will be unfavorable to Hong Kong and Taiwan. After all, there are 1 billion viewers in the mainland. If they cannot see Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, they will naturally only vote for mainland movies. In this way, the Academy Awards will become the treasure of mainland movies."

"On the one hand, you think things too simple, and on the other hand, you think things too complicated." Chen Chong put down the pen in his hand and said, "It's too simple, it means that your political awareness is too low. Even the Olympic Games cannot escape the political struggle. Can the Academy Awards be escaped? The mainland and Taiwan are now in a serious confrontation. If we only set up a small jury, how can we choose the jury members? There are three mainland countries, three Taiwan must be. What if they quarrel? What if the final selected awards, if Taiwan is not satisfied, they will boycott next year and will not come, what should we do? Or if the mainland is not satisfied and they will not come, what should we do?"

"If you do things, you have a bigger vision and a longer vision." Chen Chong continued: "So I want to expand the circle of judges, so that I can not only increase my popularity and influence, but also not lose my reputation. No one can say anything about the awards chosen by tens of thousands of people, and will not become victims of political struggles, guaranteeing the independence and authority of the Golden Image Awards."

"Thinking too complicatedly refers to the collection and statistics of audience votes. We have Movie Times magazine, which is distributed in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. We just need to print the ballots for candidate movies in the magazine, let the readers cut them out, fill in the post, and do not accept the other voting methods. Then we find an independent third-party accounting bank to count these votes. This is not difficult. As for the number of votes, there is no need to worry about this. According to the mathematical model provided by Helena, after the vote statistics are over, it will be recalculated again to balance the voting rights of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, and will not affect the fairness of the award."

When Luo Weiming heard this, he laughed. He knocked on the table with a cigarette and said, "Boss Shen, do you know what I like most about you?"

Chen Chong originally wanted to make fun of him, but after looking at the conference room full of people, he suppressed this idea and asked in a simple manner: "What?"

"No matter what you do, you never suffer a loss. You are going to win the Golden Horse Awards. You are obviously spending money to gain publicity, but in the end it turns into the advertising award for "Movie Age"." Luo Weiming said with a smile: "I can guarantee that after the votes are printed, the sales of "Movie Age" will definitely exceed 300,000, and become the leading major magazine in Hong Kong."

"Mr. Chen, we also want to print it." Lin Niantong couldn't sit still and quickly said: "Our "First Movie Review" is also the organizer of the Academy Awards, and it is also released on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places."

"No problem, you guys will print together." Chen Chong didn't care about this. He didn't have any money to do without the fields. Anyway, it was his own industry. He knocked on the table and said, "This matter is settled, and the details will be discussed later. Brother Chen, you can continue to talk about the next link, the types of movie awards."

"We have referred to the three major film festivals in the Oscars and Europe, and set twelve film awards." Chen Baisheng opened the demonstration board and changed the contents of the page, introducing: "Best movie, best director, best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, best photography, best screenwriter, best editing, best original film music, and best costume style. In addition to these, there is also a lifetime achievement award that commends."

Chen Chong touched his chin and remained silent.

In history, there were only five awards at the first Hong Kong Film Awards - Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Screenwriter. It was extremely shabby.

The awards proposed by Chen Baisheng now cover most of the film content, but compared with the Film Awards in the mature period of later generations, it is still a bit unprofessional. Of course, this has something to do with the times, such as the best sound effects and best visual effects, which are nowhere to be discussed in the industry technology category.

But there are several awards, and it is still necessary to set up now.

"Last year, there were many talents in the film industry. Two newcomers awards of encouragement, one for the best new director and the other for the best new actor." After watching Chen Baisheng write on the demonstration board, Chen Chong continued: "Another one for the best action design is added. Kung Fu movies are a special type of China. Action design is very important, and this requires a separate award to commend."

"I agree with this." Lin Niantong said: "The Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman is very hard-working, so it is time to encourage him."

In history, the best action design was after Tsui Hark finished filming "Shushan". After Zhang Cheung's proposal, this award was added to the 1983 Academy Awards. However, Hong Kong Kung Fu Films have a long history and many practitioners. There is no controversy in setting up this award in 19RU. However, another award that entered the Academy Awards in 1983 is now set up, which seems a bit too early.

This award is the best art director. In the history of Hong Kong film, Tan Jiaming made the first appearance of the position of art director in 19 RU, which has never been before.

Although he had sunken butterfly wings and asked Zhang Shuping to be an art director during "Crazy Job", in 1979, there was only one movie with art director. The Academy Awards set up this award, which seemed a bit nonsensical...

After the award setting discussion is completed, the meeting will be suspended and the rest will be ten minutes.

Luo Weiming was free and easy-going and careless. He followed Chen Chong to his luxurious office, asked the secretary to help make a cup of tea, and then sat comfortably on the sofa and asked: "Boss Shen, is it the Golden Star Award ceremony?"

"Do, of course." Chen Chong said without hesitation: "Not only do it, but also live broadcasts on TV."

“Where are you going to do it?”

"There are limited places for Hong Kong to hold large indoor events." Chen Chong touched his hair and said, "It is temporarily set to be in the Hong Kong Grand Hall. Although it is a bit old, I can't find a better place for a while.

"Yes, other places are either too small, not enough, or the commercial atmosphere is too strong." Luo Weiming said: "But the construction of the Great Hall is too many, so it is a bit inconvenient to hold awards."

Chen Chong was silent. The Repulse Bay Hotel is still negotiating, and even if you get it, it will take at least two or three years to demolish, planning, design, and reconstruction. Therefore, the Academy Awards ceremony in recent years can only be done at the Hong Kong Grand Hall.

The Hong Kong Grand Hall covers an area of ​​1100 square meters and consists of two independent buildings and a memorial garden. It is the first public entertainment center in Hong Kong. It was completed and opened on March 2019. It is located in the Central District of Hong Kong Island and is managed by the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It is an important venue for official ceremonies and celebrations. The swearing-in ceremony of the Hong Kong Governor's appointment and welcome activities for British royals visiting to Hong Kong are usually held here.

The Hong Kong City Hall consists of two buildings, one high and one low, including exhibition hall, theater, concert hall, gift shop, restaurant, concert hall, exhibition hall, conference room, library, marriage registration office and other facilities, so Luo Weiming said that the facilities are too complicated...

As the venue for the award ceremony, the Shen Chong Project is the concert hall of the Hong Kong Grand Hall, which has 1,434 seats. Although it is a bit small, it is enough.

"By the way, do you want to invite Hollywood stars at the award ceremony?" Luo Weiming raised his legs and asked gossip: "They invited Elizabeth and Boss Shen at the Golden Horse Awards. You are worth billions now. Do you have to hire a big star to support the store? Otherwise, the live TV broadcast will look shabby and the ratings will not be able to rise."

"Please be invited." Chen Chong laughed twice and said, "But I haven't decided who to invite, Lao Luo, which one do you think is better?"

"You are rich and powerful, so why not invite two at once." Luo Weiming took the teacup sent by his secretary and said: "Yu Qian invited both the Best Actor and Best Actress of the Oscars last year to present the awards."

“Who won the award last year?”

"Jon Voit and Jane Fonda." Rowemin said despised, "You don't know such an important industry news?"

"These two people are too low in fame." Chen Chong ignored his ridicule and said: "Although Jane Fonda is a two-time Oscar winner, she is too literary and not eye-catching enough."

"Where is Jon Voit?" Roweming said disdained his high eyes: "He is a famous acting player and is very popular in the United States."

Chen Chong was vaguely familiar with this name, and seemed to have heard it somewhere, so he asked, "I have no impression of this person. Has he been reported to "Movie Age"? Are there any photos?"

“Reported, in the Oscar issue in mid-April.”

Chen Chong opened the bookcase behind the desk, flipped through the neatly arranged magazines, found the target, and when he opened it, he couldn't help but laugh. He stuffed the magazine back to its original place and said with a smile: "Although this guy has good acting skills, he also lacks the aura of a star and does not have enough appeal. If his daughter comes, it's almost the same.

"He has a daughter?" Luo Weiming said in surprise: "What's the name? He is also a movie star?"

"His daughter's name is Angelina Jolie." Chen Chongyu smiled twice and said, "I'm only three or four years old now. After the New Year, I'll invite her to present the awards."

"Damn, you're playing tricks on me." Luo Weiming gestured to him, then took a sip of tea, and said, "Boss Shen, please come out and see who are you going to invite? I'll prepare the interview in advance."

"It's really not decided yet." Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "If we hire too many foreigners, we will make our Golden Star Awards popular, admire foreigners, and lose the face of Chinese people. If we don't invite them, we will not be able to gain fame. Now we are in a dilemma."

"That's right." Luo Weiming agreed: "After all, the Golden Horse Awards are the film awards of our Chinese. Foreigners are too big and dominate the main players, which is not good. Although Elizabeth was invited to the Golden Horse Awards last year, after she left, the organizer was almost scolded to death. The media overwhelmed the government for being exhausted and the people."

"Lao Luo." Chen Chong drank tea and said, "I asked you to give me some advice, but you are here to mock him.

"I have already understood. As long as you work, just do things honestly. Don't think about any ideas and plans." Luo Weiming said with a smile: "Anyway, I rack my brains to come up with things that I think are good. When you come to you, it's all garbage. You are born as a boss, and I am born as a soldier. When you decide who to invite you to present the award, I'll just go and pick up the customers."

"I've been awarded too much." Chen Chong bowed and said modestly: "I'm just a little bit lucky.

"Win the Mark Six lottery, won the bet horse, and made a fortune, that's called luck." Luo Wei was older next year and was free and easy-going. He said seriously: "Boss Shen, you're called skill."

"Okay, don't flatter me. I won't bet on horseback, and I won't raise my salary today." Chen Chong waved his hand with a smile, and after chatting for a while, he stood up with a teacup and said, "Let's go, continue to go to the meeting. I just discussed the general sketches of several key procedures, and I didn't talk about any of the specific details, and I still have to be busy. We will try to come up with specific charters today and tomorrow, and start the selection process of the Golden Horse Awards on the 1st month.

Luo Weiming nodded and replied: "It really has to be settled quickly. For more than two months, time is a bit tight for a movie award."

The most core procedures for a movie award are nothing more than three: qualifications for participation, award rules, and award ceremony

After the qualifications for the competition were sunk and changed, all the details that were in line with it had to be rescheduled. This article alone took more than three hours to finally determine the registration information of the participating video, the qualification details of the winners of the relevant awards, and the preliminary selection process for the shortlist.

In the afternoon, we discussed the award rules. In terms of audience voting, Chen Chong had already said that he would arrange for professional third-party accounting firms to be responsible, so there was no problem in this regard. The key issue was the establishment of the jury.

In Shen Chong's view, there are a little too few twelve judges. As he said, in the political atmosphere of serious confrontation between the Mainland and Taiwan, in order not to offend both sides, in the jury, a few people from the Mainland come from the Mainland, have to arrange a few people from Taiwan. If this continues, it will be easy to be politically kidnapped.

The final result of the discussion was that the scale doubled, and twenty-four senior film critics and practitioners were invited to form a jury. As for who should these 24 judges be asked to be, it was another very headache. Chen Chong looked at the time and decided to leave the meeting and discuss it tomorrow...

"Brother Chen, Editor-in-Chief Lin, and Lao Luo, don't leave now." Chen Chong called out the three leaders and said, "I'll treat you tonight, let's get together."

"That's true." Lao Luo said with a briefcase in his arms, "Boss Shen made a big profit in the United States and Japan. It's time to reward us, the lower-level employees."

"Lao Luo, don't be greedy." They are all acquaintances, and Chen Baisheng also let go. He smiled and said, "Boss Shen treats you. There is never a good thing. Be careful that he sells you again."

"He is useful, I still can't bear to sell it for the time being." Chen Chong joked, put the meeting minutes of Gu Liwei sorted into his briefcase, and said, "Let's go, Wan Chai has opened a new hot pot restaurant, the taste is authentic, I'll take you to try it out."

"Mr. Chen, what you said is that it is so scary, right?" Lin Niantong followed behind and walked out of the conference room, saying, "I heard that the business there is very popular. Now it is difficult to have a seat when you go there."

"Editor Lin, you became a monk halfway through and don't know his background." Luo Weiming smiled and pointed at Chen Chong, saying, "I've said that Boss Shen is full of colorful things and never does business at a loss. He said tonight that he was treating a meal, but actually being a guest. It was a store opened by his mother-in-law. Can there be no place if he goes there?"

Lin Niantong was shocked when he heard this and then smiled.

Chen Chong also smiled and said, "Lao Luo, why don't you go and eat?"

"That won't work. You are a big family, your wife is a big family, and your mother-in-law is also a big family." Luo Weiming said with a smacking lips: "Anyway, it's not a loss. Besides, the hot pot that is so scary that it tastes really good."

The newly opened hot pot restaurant is just a few hundred meters away from the newspaper office building. The group didn't have to drive, and they were talking and laughing, and they arrived soon.

When Aunt Liu was fiddling with a hot pot restaurant, Chen Chong, in order to please his mother-in-law, in addition to helping find a shop, he also plagiarized the fresh ideas of later generations such as Mandarin duck hot pot, small hot pot, stone hot pot, etc. He made an indelible contribution to the hot pot restaurant being popular all over the city.

Wan Chai is close to Central, with office buildings nearby and many high-income people. Therefore, the new hot pot restaurant adopts a relatively high-end decoration style. In addition to the lobby, there are many small private rooms.

Chen Chong ordered the room early. After arriving, he ordered four small hot pots and ordered a few bottles of beer. The four of them had a great time.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Luo Weiming put down his chopsticks, lit a cigarette, and said, "Boss Shen, I've eaten and drunk enough. I have any big deal to do, so I'll talk about it quickly."

"I do have a big deal to do." Chen Chong held the wine glass and said, "But this has nothing to do with you. You are here to be a foodie tonight. Whether this can be done depends mainly on Brother Chen."

"Oh, you said it earlier, it made me feel worried when I was eating hot pot just now." Luo Weiming spitted out a mouthful of cigarettes, smiled and picked up the chopsticks, and said, "I'll eat more, you guys will talk."

The atmosphere was very active by him. Chen Baisheng asked with a smile: "A Chong, what did you ask me to do?"
