Yamaguchi Momoe got up in a panic, washed up in a hurry, then hurriedly put on her crossbody bag, walked out of the house, put on her headphones, listened to music, and then became happy, and happily shuttled through the crowd, and finally walked into the Kangle Building.

"Mr. Chen." After watching the sample, Zhu Jiading hesitated and said: "This is very qualified as an advertisement, but it seems to have nothing to do with the movie."

"It's related." Shen Chong controlled the projector and put it back again. During the release, he pointed to the person Yamaguchi Momoe met on the road and said, "This, this, this, they are all robbers, and the last one, the gentleman who smiled at Yamaguchi Momoe at the entrance of the building and looked at Yamaguchi Momoe at the head of the building, was the robber leader."

"But the audience doesn't know." Zhu Jiading retorted: "In the eyes of the audience, these are just ordinary pedestrians and will not have any associations with the movie."

"That's right, so I'm going to shoot a series of advertisements, divided into different chapters. This is the heroine, there will be a hero and a robber. If the three plays in turn, the audience will have a concept of the movie.

"Creative is good, but in this way, the focus of advertising becomes the movie." Zhu Jiading put down the notebook in his hand and said, "Sony may not agree."

"Each advertisement, taken out to play separately, is a simple aIkmau advertisement, and it is a movie advertisement together." Chen Chong put out the sample again, freezing Anthony Hopkins' elegant and evil sign smile on the screen, and said, "Is this smile attractive enough?"

Zhu Jiading stared at the screen. After watching for a while, he said convincedly: "This person's acting skills have entered a state of transformation. He is the most charming villain I have ever seen. Just this smile can be selected for the Oscar."

"You can take this sample to Sony's contact person first to see what his attitude is." Chen Chong turned off the projector and said, "If Sony agrees, then design the soundtrack and copywriting. If you don't agree, let's think of new ideas."

"good."

"Let's go, I'll go back to the company with you." Chen Chong put his own objects into his backpack randomly, lifted them up, and said, "I've stayed here all night and my head is too big."

"Mr. Chen, even Sony doesn't need you to shoot the commercials in person, right?"

"It's just a personal hobby." After walking out of the preview room, Chen Chong narrowed his eyes and adapted to the sun, he said self-deprecatingly: "Originally, my life ideal was to be a film director, but my talent was limited and I did nothing. The only movie I made is still lying in the film warehouse without seeing the light of day."

"Mr. Chen has made a movie?"

"Yes." Chen Chong yawned and said as he walked: "I took it in September last year. I was a mess. I didn't know how to do it for a week or two. In the end, I only finished it with Fang Yuping's help. In name, I am the director, but in fact, he did 80% of the work."

"Since it's been filmed, why isn't it released?"

"After the filming, I was busy and had no time to do post-production." Chen Chong breathed a long sigh, and then said: "When the Spring Festival is over, find some time to cut it, and then take it to the Hong Kong International Film Festival to show it."

"When the time comes, remember to notify me and I will go and support me." Zhu Jiading said with a smile: "Mr. Chen dares to get it to be a good movie for screening at the International Film Festival."

"To be honest, I actually have no idea what the movie is." Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "The impression is a bit blurry now. I can only say that the creativity is good. As for whether it is good or not, I have to cut it out and match it with music to know."

Back at the company, Chen Chong Chong was on the sofa in the office and slept for a while. He was awakened by Gu Liwei's notification voice. Chen Baisheng and Luo Weiming came together.

"Boss Shen, look at your red eyes, did you do bad things last night?" As soon as we met, Luo Weiming teased: "Young Master, it doesn't matter if you sing every night, but you have to pay attention to your body, and your body will be broken and your bones will be established."

"I'm a ghost every night. I spent the night with the printing factory all night last night and spent the night with film." They are all old friends, and Chen Chong didn't need to care about his image. He casually stroked his hair, picked up a teacup, took a big sip, and then said, "If you have something to do, I'm so sleepy, I'm still taking a plane to Taipei tonight."

"We have preliminarily formulated a list of films for the Film Awards." Chen Baisheng took out two documents from his briefcase and said: "There is also a list of invitations from the jury."

Chen Chong took it and looked at it, asking, "Where is the list of guests and visitors at the award ceremony?"

"The guests are still in contact, but it is not easy to decide on the ceremony." Luo Weiming sat on the sofa and asked, "We have to set up the finalists first, and then we can know how many filmmakers will be present, and the remaining seats will be distributed to the audience. By the way, how many people are preparing to come to the mainland to attend the award ceremony?"

"The mainland has confirmed that it will send ten movies to the election." Chen Chong browsed the list in his hand and said: "In this way, there are more than 50 movies that have been shortlisted, too many, and they need to be streamlined."

"In order to avoid the remains, as long as someone nominates it, it will be included in the list, so there will be so many." Chen Baisheng explained: "After the mainland copy is sent, our organizing committee will watch it in a concentrated manner, at least half of it will be eliminated."

Chen Chong nodded, and after watching the list again, he said: "There are not many good movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan last year. I guess ten movies in the mainland can basically enter the final review stage. Assume that ten people will come to the award ceremony for a movie, and leave them a hundred seats."

"It's not that exaggerating, right?" Luo Wei flapped the ashes and said: "There are indeed not many good movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan last year, but there are not many high-level ones. "Crazy Raid", "Pointing the Soldiers" and "Buddlers" are all very well-known, and the film industry level in the mainland is still in the 1950s and 1960s. How can we compare with Hong Kong? Aren't those technical awards all the things that Hong Kong has to offer?"

"There are only four film awards that are most popular, including the best director, best actor and actress, best film, and technology awards are industry awards, and the audience does not pay much attention to it." Chen Chong put down the list of movies, picked up another document, and said: "You must know that the standard for participating in the Academy Awards is the movies released in 1979, not the movies produced in 1979. In the past ten years, many movies were produced, but they were unable to be released due to political reasons. Last year, a large number of them were lifted. After ten years of hard work, they selected ten of them to participate in the Academy Awards. The quality is conceivable."

"But the mainland regards movies as propaganda tools, and their ideology and preaching mentality are too strong, which weakens the artistic value and humanistic attributes." Luo Weiming retorted: "This kind of movie is not popular."

"With that being said, mainland filmmakers regard filming as art, and Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers filming as food tools." Chen Chong picked up a pen and drew circles on the jury list, saying: "Only a rigorous attitude can produce great movies. Lao Luo, do you want to bet with me whether the best movie at this Academy Awards will fall into the mainland or stay in Hong Kong?"

"Okay." Luo Weiming rubbed the cigarette butts and said, "I bet on the best movie to stay in Hong Kong."

"Lao Luo, you will definitely lose this bet." Chen Baisheng took out the cigarette box, handed him a cigarette, and said, "Who is composed of the jury is entirely determined by A Chong. He can decide the ownership of the best movie with just a little trick."

"I'm not that dirty." Chen Chong laughed and said, "Even if Lao Luo takes out all his belongings to bet, he can't compare to the status of the Golden Star Awards in my heart."

"It just sounds nice." Luo Weiming lit a cigarette and said, "The quotas in the jury on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are all determined to die. How do you manipulate it? Even if you can manipulate the jury, you cannot control the audience and decide the final award."

Chen Chong smiled. The system is dead, and people live. If you really want to manipulate the awards, there are methods. However, since even Luo Weiming believes that the Golden Image Awards cannot be controlled, it means that this system is still quite credible.

"I think the jury should be formed like this." Chen Chong counted the list of jury invitations in his circle, and then said: "The Mainland and Taiwan each invited two directors, two media critics, one professional and technical personnel, and Hong Kong were five senior film critics, three well-known directors or producers who did not get shortlisted for the awards, and two professional and technical personnel."

"I think this ratio is good." Chen Bosheng calculated for a while and said: "If there are nine professional film critics, they should be able to judge the artistic value of the film fairly."

"Lao Luo, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Luo Wei flapped the ashes and said with a smile: "Boss Shen, say hello in advance, I want to enter the jury."

"Five senior film critics in Hong Kong." Chen Chong said one by one with his fingers: "Shi Qi, Shu Qi, Zhuo Botang, Shu Ming, and Lin Niantong, it seems to be full."

"Zhuo Botang used to study in Taiwan, and now he is the editor-in-chief of the Taiwan branch." Luo Weiming was anxious and said, "Even if he wants to be a judge, he should be a Taiwanese film critic, right?"

"Okay, he doesn't count, what about Brother Chen?"

"Bai Sheng doesn't count." Luo Weiming didn't even want to have a relationship and said, "I am not as good as him in organizational work, but he is not as good as me in film reviews. Besides, he is going to the Hong Kong International Film Festival in April, so how can he have the time to be a judge."

Seeing that Chen Bosheng did not refute, Chen Chong couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Isn't the Hong Kong International Film Festival held in June and July?"

"This year is ahead of schedule." Chen Bosheng took a sip of cigarettes and said with a little depressed feeling: "In order to stimulate tourism, the Municipal Bureau has changed the film festival to the Easter holiday in April."

"In this way, it coincides with the Academy Awards ceremony." Chen Chong touched his chin and said, "It's not a bad thing. One plus one is greater than two, which has a comprehensive effect and is beneficial to both parties. By the way, has there been a response to applying for a film festival in the name of the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center?"

"The Municipal Bureau said it could be considered." Chen Baisheng said: "A Chong, the Municipal Bureau is not the key to this matter. The key is Xu Shiren. As long as he is willing to speak, there will be basically no problem."

"The family background is prominent?" The name sounds familiar. Chen Chong subconsciously repeated it, and then asked: "What does he have to do with the Hong Kong International Film Festival?"

"He worked in the Municipal Council and used to be the chairman of the First Screening Room. He was one of the founders of the Hong Kong International Film Festival." Chen Bosheng introduced: "He has a prominent family background, has close ties with the Macau Gambling King, and has a lot of connections in the political circle."
