Chapter 693: Academy Awards Reform

A week later, there was another meeting.

There were not many people here this time, only representatives from the film company and the organizer, 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 left suddenly focuses on the Academy Awards·

Could it 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 overbearingly, he is still reasonable.

There will be no sudden death, but opportunities will be given in advance. If we can talk it over and discuss it, it should be fine. "

"Yes, I also think it can be discussed." A representative from "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 put forward 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. The authority wasn't very good.

"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. It's okay, this will facilitate reform, so I asked straight to the point.

Mr. Shu Qi, have you started preparations for this year’s Academy Awards? "

"It's begun. The nomination list will be announced next month."

"The selection rules haven't changed, right?"

"No, mainly Film Fortnight and professional film critics."

"Are there sufficient funds this year?"

Shu Qi's face darkened, and she didn't want to answer anymore, and said, "Mr. Chen, if you have anything to say, say it directly."

"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 must 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 grand, all guests should attend in formal attire, lay out a red carpet if possible, and imitate the Oscar Walk of Fame -..."

"It's easy to say, these all require funds!" Yu Zheng said.

"Who do you blame for your reluctance to invest money? Then I will sponsor you, and you will listen to me after the Academy Awards!"

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 to connect people and find ATV and TVB to see who is interested in buying the broadcast rights."

If you have the money, you can arrange it well. Everyone here can tell your stars that they will all attend grandly this year. How about that? "

Everyone looks at each other, this is a good thing! But since 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, and a 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 your local area. If you want to do it, it should be done in the entire Chinese-speaking world. film award.

Open the selection scope to 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, as well as co-productions between mainland China and Hong Kong, and films independently produced by mainland China that have been 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, is he trying to use his 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 be looking for you. I'll set up a new prize and 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 whether it was an award or not, 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 to change its rules. "

"Thanks for the 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 his daughter Hu Xian took over.

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 Academy Awards were controlled by various associations of Hong Kong films. Everyone was familiar with each other, and the votes were all based on personal connections. Moreover, they were conservative and self-entertaining, and no one paid attention to them every year.

He wanted to establish a set of order in Hong Kong based on awards and unions, and naturally he would not do it like in later generations.

After finalizing this matter, Chen Qi should return to Beijing to report on his work + celebrate the New Year + love his wife + watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat baby on his back————."

The heating was just right, and the indoor temperature could reach 26 degrees. Gong Xue wore a loose home clothes and hummed a little song while watering the flowers. The clothes wrapped around her belly, which was a little bit pregnant, but she was too thin to begin with, and her waist was still very thin.

"Oh, it's snowing!"

After watering the flowers, she looked up and saw snowflakes rising outside the window. She looked at the time and went to the kitchen to find a piece of beef and potatoes, as well as a fish, ready to make a table of hot and delicious food.

Soon, the beef was stewed in the pot.

Steam filled the glass windows, making the room even hotter. It was getting darker, and around seven o'clock in the evening, Gong Xue didn't hear footsteps, but she seemed to have an intuition and got up and ran to the door.

Sure enough, there was the sound of keys clacking.

"Oh!"

Chen Qi came back in the frost and snow, and before he put down his suitcase, he was hugged by a soft body, "

, I miss you so much!"

He leaned back in the hug, hugged her waist, and smiled, "I miss you too, I'm almost sick thinking about you day and night."

"It doesn't sound true when you say it - I'll give you slippers, my mother is back, your parents will come tomorrow."

"Why don't you come today?"

"I understand, I want to give us a world for the two of us, I'll make you something delicious!"

Gong Xue kissed him and took him slippers, while Chen Qi was concerned about her stomach and stayed there for a while before going into the house.

After cleaning up, the food was ready, and they brought it to the coffee table in the living room to eat while watching TV. All his tiredness disappeared, and he suddenly felt like this was home. The news was playing on TV, and he casually glanced at it:

There was a message: "A motion has just been passed to designate September 10th of each year as Teacher's Day."

(There is one more chapter!)
