After reading the speech, Wang Yang didn't say a word. He folded the manuscript paper, put it in his pocket, then picked up the trophy, nodded to Chen Chong, and walked downstairs.

The big back head, black mirror frame, Zhongshan suit, and the old-school leadership aura made the audience speechless and silent. When he reached the steps, a burst of warm applause broke out.

"The one who just received the award on behalf of Mr. Xia Yan was Mr. Wang Yang, the director of the Beijing Film Studio." Chen Chong introduced with a smile: "Mr. Wang is a square man, rigorous in his work, full of momentum, and ghosts and gods. He just looked at me and scared my legs so weak. Some people say that I am the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but have you ever seen such a timid God of Wealth?"

His deliberate jokes made the laughter below and the atmosphere regained its vitality.

Wang Yang turned around, glared at him helplessly, then shook his head and sat back to his seat.

After adjusting his standing posture a little, Chen Chong curled his smile and said solemnly: "Next, the Academy Awards will pay tribute to a senior in the Hong Kong film industry. He is not only a household name, big boss, but also the founder of Hong Kong's modern film industry, the creator of "Oriental Hollywood, and a world-renowned producer. He has produced and distributed countless classic movies that have been popular in the Chinese society. He is our sixth uncle, the boss of Shaw Brothers Film Company, Sir Run Run Shaw."

Shaw Brothers Film and H TV have accompanied Hong Kong people through countless wonderful times. Run Run Shaw is not the richest tycoon in Hong Kong, but he is definitely the most talked about in Hong Kong. As soon as Chen Chong finished speaking, applause immediately spread like a wave of continuous.

"Sir Run Run Shaw, born in Ningbo, Zhejiang in 1907, was originally named Shao Renling and named Yifu. In 2019, he founded Tianyi Film Company in Shanghai with his brother..."

Run Run Shaw's legendary entrepreneurial experience is a familiar story for Hong Kong people. During the broadcast of the short film, the applause never stopped. When Run Run Shaw walked onto the stage and won the trophy, everyone in the concert hall stood up under the leadership of local Hong Kong guests.

In 19RU, Run Run Shaw's qualifications and status in the world were no doubted, but at this time he had not started large-scale charity. Many people had a stingy management style of Shaw, so their reputation was far from reaching the realm of convincing everyone 30 years later. The reason for such a grand occasion was probably because before the ceremony, both the media and the audience were arrogant and thought that the Hong Kong film market was prosperous and its output was arrogant throughout Asia, which would inevitably sweep all awards. As a result, more than half of the award ceremony, Hong Kong's four majors were empty and no award was won. The local guests were full of anger and naturally supported Run Run Shaw and were proud.

Run Run Shaw is a very healthy person. He is already 73 years old at this time. Although his face is thin, he is full of energy, light and healthy, and has no old attitude. However, he is a typical example of being a real person. He only loves work, does not like to speak empirical words, and does not speak Cantonese. Mandarin also has a strong Zhejiang accent. Therefore, he rarely talks in public. After taking the trophy from Chen Chong, he only said a few words of appropriate thanks without any nutrition, and was about to leave.

"Uncle Six." Seeing this, Chen Chong felt that the atmosphere was not enough and was sorry to the audience, so he said, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Run Run Shaw stopped his attempt to walk and said, "Mr. Chen, please speak."

"Shaw Brothers Film Company has been founded for just over the past year. During this year, you have made a great career vigorously." Chen Chong said with a smile: "I also founded a film company last year. I hope that after the New Year, I can make a career like you. At that time, maybe I am qualified to win this trophy. Uncle Six, you are my idol. If my dream comes true, can you come to present me with the award?"

Run Run Shaw was stunned. He looked Chen Chong up and down a few times, then smiled, reached out and shook him, and said, "If I can still walk then, if Mr. Chen really can win the award, I will definitely come to present the award.

The kind laughter and applause from the audience merged into one.

After Run Run Shaw stepped down and sat down, Chen Chong said: "Dear guests here, please keep the invitation tonight. After the New Year, we will attend the Academy Awards Ceremony to testify to the agreement between me and my sixth uncle.

His confident teasing caused another round of applause.

"Mr. Xia Yan and Sir Shaw are both behind the scenes of the film." Chen Chong pursed his lips and stopped for a moment before saying: "The trophy below is a tribute to a great film front-scene worker. He is a big star with thousands of movie fans. He is a master of turning performance into art. He is a legend born for film. He said that at any time, artists should give people beauty, truth and happiness. He is Zhao Dan."

Zhao Dan was a bit old. For ordinary Hong Kong audiences, he was neither as powerful as Xia Yan nor as well-known as Run Run Shaw. Therefore, when he came on stage, the applause was a little dull.

"Zhao Dan, born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu in 1915, was originally named Zhao Fengao. He joined the Shanghai Star Film Company in 2019 and participated in the filming of more than 20 films including "Shanghai Twenty-Four Hours", "The Daughter of the Times", "To the Northwest", "Daughter's Classic", "Nomestic Sorrow", etc. With his handsome appearance and excellent performance talent, he quickly became one of the most eye-catching stars in Shanghai in the 1930s.

In 1937, Zhao Dan played the role of the unemployed college student Lao Zhao and the drummer Xiao Chen in the classic movies "Cross Street" and "The Angel of the Road". His superb acting skills have been widely praised. These two films have also become the finale of Chinese films in the 1930s, and their charm has remained unabashed to this day.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Dan starred in films such as "The Uncontrollable Spring", "The Beauty", "Crow and Sparrow", and were all very popular.

After the 1950s, Zhao Dan starred in many films such as "For Peace", "Li Shizhen", "Sea Soul", Lin Zexu", "Nie Er", "Eternal Life in the Fire", etc., and created screen images of different eras and different identities such as Li Shizhen, Nie Er, Lin Zexu, and Xu Yunfeng. His acting skills are highly praised.

Zhao Dan's performance is free and easy, both physical and spiritual, and has a unique charm that transcends the times. He is a benchmark for Chinese film performance art."

During the Cultural Congress last year, Zhao Dan's condition was not discovered. When Chen Chong went to visit him, he talked about the idea of ​​holding the Golden Star Awards. One of the activities was to take advantage of the award ceremony to hold a seminar on the exchange of film workers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Regions. Zhao Dan was very concerned about this and prepared materials and papers early.

After learning that he had lost the list of the Golden Horse Awards in Hong Kong, Zhao Dan went to see Situ Huimin, Deputy Minister of Culture. He was a very stubborn person and had not had much time. Situ Huimin was so entangled that he could not help. After consulting a doctor, he approved his application to Hong Kong.

Chen Chong held the trophy in both hands and handed it to Zhao Dan, saying, "Mr. Zhao Dan, please accept our little respect."

"Thank you." Zhao Dan was calm and elegant, and could vaguely see his style back then. He gently raised the trophy, then placed it on the stage and said, "Chairman Xia and Mr. Run Run Shaw are both diligent and hardworking. They have made great contributions to the development and growth of Chinese films. I am just an actor, a person who makes a living by relying on expressions and tongues. I am worthy of this award."

The guests gave a lot of applause as expected.

"I just said in the short film that I am the benchmark of performing arts, so I dare not take it. The reason why art is art is that it is ever-changing and does not have a fixed standard. In the hearts of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets, the same character, different actors, different performance methods, and different charms. Such a film world is rich and colorful, radiant, and the audience loves it."

"I recently communicated with many Taiwanese film colleagues and found that there is a phenomenon, that is, the governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait like to point fingers at the creation of films, saying that this cannot be performed, and that cannot be put on. What props should be bought, what costumes should be worn, what lines should be said, and what actions should be done, and rules should be put into restrictions. In fact, there is no need for literature and art. Literature is the business of literary and art. If the government manages literature and art too specifically, literature and art will have no hope, and it will be over."

The applause was extremely warm and deafening. Taiwanese filmmakers stood up first and soon stood up to pay tribute to him.

Chen Chong stood behind him and applauded very hard. He was so arrogant that he admired Zhao Dan that he actually dared to amplify cannons on such occasions, and covered the entire map and bombarded the two sides of the strait.

Amid the tide of applause, Zhao Dan's expression was firm, standing there straight, like a hard reef

After the applause subsided, he continued: "In the past two days, many people have discussed the system issue with me. The word "system," we artists were originally unfamiliar, but later they gradually discovered that we were too lazy to control the system, but the system was desperate to control us, forcing us to deal with it seriously."

"Literary and artistic creation is the most personal, unrestricted, and cannot be restricted. We can comment, criticize, encourage, and applaud, but we cannot raise our hands and pass the layers of inspections. Good works cannot be reviewed. Throughout history, no vital good works have been reviewed."

This time the applause was even louder and it was almost overturning the roof...

"Habits are not the truth, and bad habits cannot be followed as a solid system. Literature and art require freedom. If you cannot give freedom, at least you must clearly tell us what can be created and what can't be touched. Don't be able to do it today and tomorrow, why can't it not work? But you can't give it a reason. If this continues, artists can't make good works at all, so how can they create good works?"

Chen Chong clapped desperately, his hands were numb, but his heart was full of heat.

It's really deafening

It's lively now...
