Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 43 The unexpected person
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing the singer Ye Qianwen. The reward songs are "Ten Hours", "Night Breeze", and "Sweet Words"."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing singer Wang Jie for his success. The reward songs are "What I Want in Life", "Treasure", and "Impossible".

Among the 6 songs rewarded by the system, Su Cheng is only familiar with "Sweet Words" and "What I Want in Life". After all, these two songs are often covered in later generations.

Through the information, he knew how powerful those songs were.They are all golden songs that can win awards!

However, at this moment, a person who surprised him came to the door. As soon as they met, he held his hand tightly and said excitedly: "Mr. Su, I have heard your name for a long time!"

Before Su Cheng could react, the system also came out to put on a show.

"Ding! B-level talent found!"

[Almighty entertainment system scan:]

Name: Shu Qi

Age: 24 years old

Acting: 62
Sing: 71
Dance: 49
Director: 87
Screenwriter: 85
……

"Ding! The system task is released: the contracted director Shu Qi is successful. A movie will be rewarded."

As for this person's name, Su Cheng knew it in his previous life, he was the initiator of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.He is also the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly".As early as when I met Wang Jing, I asked him about it, and I finally found out from Sammo Hung that although he is currently working as a screenwriter for a newspaper, he is also an assistant director and screenwriter for films under Golden Harvest.More part-time film critic.

There is no such thing as talent!
Logically speaking, he had nothing to do with this person, so how could he come to the door in person?Could it be that Zou Wenhuai sent them here to find fault?
After the two sat down, Shu Qi explained the purpose of coming: "Mr. Su, what do you think of Xiangjiang movies?"

Not looking for trouble?Slightly taken aback, Su Cheng smiled and said, "How else can I see it? It's developing at a high speed!"

"I think so too. It's a pity that Xiangjiang does not have a formal organization to justify the film's name! For example, Wan Island has a professional review organization, how can we in Xiangjiang fall behind?"

Hearing this, how could Su Cheng not understand what he meant, this is about to set up the Golden Statue Award!Much earlier than the previous life!

Pretending to be confused, Su Cheng asked, "What does Mr. Shu mean?"

Shu Qi said bluntly: "I think Xiangjiang can't only have "Movie Biweekly", but also has its own Oscar. I wonder if Mr. Su is willing to fund it?"

As he said that, he also took out a document for Su Cheng to have a look at.This is premeditated!

Randomly flipping through it, Su Cheng could see that many assumptions in it were too hasty.Although the planning is huge, it is a pity that whether it is the ideas of Shu Qi and others, or the future direction of the Academy Awards, they are generally biased towards "localization".A far cry from Hollywood's "Oscars".

Although Oscar also has a serious "racial view", the direction has not gone astray.It also gives people a hope.

What's more, Shu Qi's plan was too ideal, and there was no actual action. No wonder the first Golden Statue Award was so shabby.They are all harmed by lack of money and lack of vision.Just have an idea.

After watching for half an hour, Su Chengcai put down the things in his hands, and said leisurely: "I personally agree with Mr. Shu's idea, but, dare I ask, Mr. Shu wants to set up a similar to the 'Oscar' Is it a general film award, or a film award that belongs exclusively to Xiangjiang?"

"This..." Shu Qi was stunned for a moment.After a while, he said: "The 'Oscar' of the East."

Hearing this, Su Cheng said: "Mr. Shu's plan should be eliminated."

Seeing that Shu Qi's face changed slightly, Su Cheng said lightly: "In my opinion, Hollywood's 'Oscar' has already been formed, and there is no need to create another one. In addition, the three major international film festivals in Europe have also been finalized, each with its own characteristics .Even if you want to do it well, you have to find the core of the awards.”

Slowed down, Su Cheng continued: "If we want to set up a film award in Xiangjiang, the first thing we need to do is to abandon the shackles of genre films and focus on works and acting skills. Whether it is the Oscars, the European Film Festival, or even the Bay Area The Island Golden Horse Awards have always been dominated by literary films. But as a film critic, Mr. Shu himself knows that there are martial arts films, action films, comedy films, ghost films, even gunfight films, war films, salty films, etc. They all have their merits. The actors and even the behind-the-scenes are not rich and rich. If that is the case, why not generalize?"

"But if this is the case, wouldn't there be a lot of criticism?" Shu Qi asked in surprise.

"There's a lot of criticism, and there's a lot of attention, which leads to a bigger influence!" Su Cheng said, "Isn't this what Mr. Shu wants?"

"Uh..." Shu Qi was silent.

Su Cheng continued: "Currently, the internationally famous film festivals are all in Europe. In a short period of time, there is no way for newborns to occupy a seat. Leaving this aside, let's hold an influential award in Southeast Asia first. According to the "Oscar" model, Chinese films are the main core. Other foreign language films with Chinese subtitles are supplemented. Among them, for each award setting, the proportion of foreign language films shall not exceed 3%. For example: nominations for the Best Actor Award, the total 5 people will be selected. A male artist selected from a foreign language film can only be selected as one. However, under the best film, several consolation prizes can be set up to show your affection.”

Glancing at Shu Qi, who was deep in thought, Su Cheng said to himself: "Since we are hosting the 'Oscars', we must set up most of the awards at once. For example, Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, Best Movie Theme Song, Best Action Direction, Best Director, Best Film, etc.”

While talking, Su Cheng also recorded all the relevant awards he could think of from the desk.Among them, in the section of best newcomer, in order to attract more people to participate at that time, the best newcomer (male and female) was designed.That is, the 2 award-winning artists.

In addition, about the nominations here, in terms of the best new artist, there are three male artists and three female artists.For others, such as Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Screenwriter, etc., all 5 people are selected.

In this way, tension and anticipation are born.More artists will participate in the future.

Furthermore, Su Cheng strictly disagrees with the emergence of "double yolk eggs".No matter how excellent it is, one session and one award can only be awarded to one person.This is truly authoritative!
As for the best screenplay, it needs to be designed as the best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay awards.

Splitting up and adding awards is to expand the influence.

Also, that is the best visual effect, best art direction, best soundtrack, these awards that many people don't care much about.Su Chengcheng was included.As for whether animated films will be added in the future, we will discuss it at that time.

In addition to the core awards, there must be Best Newcomer Director Award, Best Achievement Award, Best Contribution Award, Best Professional Award, Personal Lifetime Achievement Award and so on.

The award presentation should not be too dry. It needs a humorous host and guest performers during the breaks. Of course, all of them need professional singers.This is normal!

After talking about the big frame of the award, Su Cheng asked: "Mr. Shu, once the plan is finalized, how do you plan to publicize the establishment of the award?"

""Film Biweekly"?" Shu Qi said in a daze.

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said, "Just like how I promote the premiere of a movie, I advertise directly on the TV station. When the time comes, the awards ceremony can also be broadcast live on the TV station, so that more people can know about this grand ceremony."

"But, Mr. Su, this..." Although Shu Qi was cornered by Su Cheng at this moment, he couldn't turn the corner, but when he came to Su Cheng today, he had an idea and didn't have the money to do it!

After waving his hand, Su Cheng said, "This is very simple. At that time, the TV station will directly sponsor it without spending money."

Without instilling the tricks into Shu Qi, Su Cheng was thinking about the trophy again, and said solemnly: "Wireless has Hong Kong sister selection, so it can be seen that beauties are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. My idea is to design the trophy with the portraits of beautiful artists."

Immediately, Su Chengcheng used his plan to use auctions to fund the cost of the awards.All can only be dark shots.Rotate once every 3 sessions.The trophy is selected from the company's artists who have works in that year.For example: the first session was held in 80, and Tengyue Entertainment Company contributed 500 million Hong Kong dollars as a subsidy.Select artist: Anita Mui.In this way, no matter whether Anita Mui wins or not, all the trophies this year will have her golden statue.

Isn't it just an extra "artist star"?

And for the third session, three more female artists will be launched!
Of course, the first time a secret auction is required, and in the next two sessions, only an annual increase of 10% of investment is required.Compared with promoting the reputation of one's own company and artists, it can be said to be a big profit.

And in order to avoid malicious operations by the company, the previous entertainment company cannot participate in the three-year term change.Everyone wants to share the soup!

Shu Qi, who was told by Su Cheng to open her mouth wide, remained silent for a long time.I thought to myself: Is it the right time to come today, or should I not come?
After Shu Qi was persuaded, the two began to perfect their plans one by one.

At this time, Su Cheng said abruptly: "Mr. Shu, our Tengyue Entertainment Company wants to be the first sponsor."

After hesitating for a long time, Shu Qi compromised: "No problem! After all, Mr. Su has contributed a lot to this."

Nodding his head, Su Cheng said again: "Since the award is going to be held, why not start it this year? Just to welcome the new era?"

These words made Shu Qi start to frown.Although there is a plan, money, and platform, but the selectors have not yet been decided?Wouldn't it be too hasty to hold it this way?

Seemingly aware of Shu Qi's concerns, Su Cheng said: "According to our plan, the holding time is set on April 4st every year. And the first one can be held from January 1st to March 80st in 1. Wait until the second award, from April 1st to December 3st. In this case, it should be a rehearsal in advance. As for the time of the first award, I think July or August will be just right."

"I still need to find someone to discuss such a big matter." In the end, Shu Qi did not agree.However, Su Cheng knew that there was a great chance of agreeing.

First of all, instead of looking for Zou Wenhuai, Shu Qi came to Tengyue Entertainment Company to look for him, and it was obvious that he had encountered many obstacles.Don't want to miss this opportunity.Furthermore, "Movie Biweekly" is not just a decoration, with its authority, many things can get twice the result with half the effort!

After all, this is the first session to test the waters.

After that, according to Su Cheng's intention, with the cooperation of film critics, reporters, professional directors, actors, screenwriters, photographers, etc., a more "fair and authoritative" winner will be selected!
