Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 914
"Please tell me, Mr. Lin."

Yu Teng could feel that Lin Daoqiu didn't seem very happy.

It stands to reason that Lin Daoqiu should be very satisfied with the success of the Golden Statue Awards. Could it be that there is something he didn't do well enough?
"I don't know what Ms. Yu thinks of this time, the performance of "Running into the Wrath" and "Pretty Girl" at the Academy Awards."

It can be said that tonight, the biggest winners of the Academy Awards are "Running into the Raging Sea" and "Pretty Girl".

Before that, Yu Teng, as the CEO of the preparatory committee for the Academy Awards, naturally knew more than others.

"These two films can be said to be the best feature films in Xiangjiang last year. Both box office broke the [-] million mark, and they are also highly rated in the industry. The performance tonight can be said to be well-deserved."

What Yu Cheng said was the truth. If it weren't for this, these two films would not have won all the awards at the Academy Awards tonight.

But Yu Cheng didn't understand Lin Daoqiu's question, or she didn't realize that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Two feature films won all the awards. Isn't this a bit unfair to other types of films?"

Lin Daoqiu simply made it clear that he doesn't like going around in circles.

Yu Cheng is not a fool. When Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, she immediately realized why Lin Daoqiu was dissatisfied.

It turned out that he was dissatisfied because feature films won all the awards, and commercial films were not recognized at the Academy Awards.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, the award ceremony itself of the Academy Awards is not fair. We are just seeking a balance among these injustices."

Yu Teng doesn't want to influence the selection of the Academy Awards, and this is not where she can intervene.

To say that the only person who can really influence the selection of the Academy Awards is Lin Daoqiu who is sitting opposite her at this moment.

If he wants to intervene in the selection of the Academy Awards, no one can stop Lin Daoqiu from doing so.

"Miss Yu's words made me suddenly enlightened. It seems that I want to thank you very much."

Lin Daoqiu's expression looked very different from before.

"Mr. Lin, it's better not to thank me. If people know that I'm saying this here, once it gets out that I, the executive director of the preparatory committee for the Golden Statue Awards, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my job."

What Yu Teng was thinking about was how to run the Academy Awards well. As for the selection criteria, she had never thought about it, nor did she intend to intervene.

"Miss Yu's contribution to the Golden Statue Awards is obvious to all. I believe that for a long time to come, you will be indispensable to the Golden Statue Awards."

The Golden Statue Award was managed very well by Yu Teng, although most of the proposals were made by Lin Daoqiu.

But I have to say that it is really hard to find such a good executor who can carry out his intentions thoroughly and arrange everything well.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin is buying me?"

Yu Cheng looked at Lin Daoqiu and asked with a smile.

"I've always believed that merit must be rewarded and misconduct must be punished. Ms. Yu has done such a good job. If you continue to serve as the executive director of the preparatory committee for the Golden Statue Awards, I believe no one will have any objections."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, handing over the Golden Statue Award to Yu Teng is to make the best use of everything and make the best use of people.

It's okay if Lin Daoqiu is in charge, he can even do better than Yu Teng.

But Lin Daoqiu knew very well that for a slacker like himself, if he really threw the Golden Statue Award into his hands, it would be over if he couldn't last even one term.

Leaving Yu Teng to continue to serve as the executive director of the preparatory committee also hopes that the future of the Academy Awards will be better and better.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu and Yu Teng got out of the car together. The reception for the Academy Awards tonight was held in the form of a buffet.

It's not too late for Lin Daoqiu and Yu Teng to come. This afternoon, the wait began and they haven't had dinner yet.

While picking up meals at the long table, Lin Daoqiu met a few acquaintances.

When the other party saw Lin Daoqiu, an unnatural expression appeared on his face.

"Mr. Lin..."

Now that they had already collided, they had no choice but to take the initiative to say hello to Lin Daoqiu.

"Please forgive me for the poor greeting, please take it easy for the three of you."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and left without continuing to chat with them.

After Lin Daoqiu left, Tsui Hark, whose heart was already in his throat, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Before I thought that when I saw Mr. Lin, I would be very relaxed, but I didn't expect that I seemed to be more nervous than before."

"I was really worried just now. If Mr. Lin makes a move, should I block it? Or not."

Zeng Zhiwei's words were actually a joke. As Lin Daoqiu, how could he beat them up in public.

"If Mr. Lin really did something just now, I will help him hold you back and let him beat you up."

Shi Tian joked beside him.

Hearing what Shi Tian said, Zeng Zhiwei gave him a blank stare.

"Tsk tsk tsk, all the best movies are related to Mr. Lin. I really didn't expect that Mr. Lin's influence on Xiangjiang movies would be so great."

After finding a seat and sitting down, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh after putting down the plate.

Although the producer of "Pretty Girl" is not Lin Daoqiu, everyone is very clear about how this film was made.

"Actually, this time, Golden Harvest and Dibao shouldn't stand up and support the Academy Awards, because doing so will only make Mr. Lin's reputation stronger."

Shi Tian shook his head while talking, if it was him, he would definitely not stand up and support the Academy Awards, but it is too late to say these things now.

As for what Shi Tian said, Tsui Hark had a different opinion.

"Xiangjiang Films can't always take the path of confrontation. The Golden Awards are still very important to Xiangjiang Films. I support Mr. Pan's decision."

However, Shi Tian seemed to be somewhat disapproving of Tsui Hark's statement.

"A good film award should appeal to both the refined and the vulgar, but now the Academy Awards are obviously only elegant and not vulgar, and have no meaning at all. I don't even want to participate next year."

It seemed that Shi Tian was very dissatisfied that "Pretty Girl" and "Running into the Wrath" won all the awards tonight.

It can be said that tonight's Academy Awards is tantamount to a carnival of literary films, directly kicking commercial films into the corner.

Those who were born in commercial films seemed to be aliens at the Academy Awards.

"Mr. Lin also came from making commercial films, why would he allow such a thing to happen? Is this what Mr. Lin really thinks?"

Zeng Zhiwei shook his head while talking, although he did not expect to win the award tonight, but "Best Partner" only won the best music, which inevitably made him feel very regretful.
