According to convention, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was held in the Great Hall of the Founding Father Memorial Hall. There are 35 rows of seats and 2,518 seats. It is the largest indoor gathering venue in Taipei.

The Golden Horse Awards are hosted by the Cultural Bureau of the Ministry of Education of Taiwan. The official color is strong, so the atmosphere is solemn and serious. There are no shows like walking on the red carpet. The participants all enter directly with invitations, which feels like they are having a congress.

As an investor in "Crazy Job", Chen Chong took the lead and walked in the front. As soon as he stepped into the door of the Great Hall, he immediately heard a shout.

"Shen Chong is here!"

Then a group of reporters rushed up, and the flash kept on his face, which scared him.

"Mr. Chen, may you ask you on Forbes..."

"Mr. Chen, as the youngest billionaire in the world..."

...

After Chen Chong came to his senses, he squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that there were more than a dozen reporters around him, either English-speaking foreigners or Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong journalists. Some held recorders, some held shorthand notebooks, and asked various questions in a slight manner. Behind them, there were a bunch of Taiwanese journalists who looked at each other, hesitant, but dared not go to him.

"Everyone, everyone!" Chen Chong raised his hand to signal quiet, and then said loudly: "This is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, not my personal press conference. Please give in and don't interfere with the ceremony. I will hold a press conference in the near future. If you have any questions, I will talk about it at that time."

"Mr. Chen, please ask about the specific time of the press conference?"

"Mr. Chen, you have invested in several movies. Is the film industry a knowledge economy?"

"Mr. Chen, what do you think about Elizabeth Taylor coming to the Golden Horse Awards?"

...

Chen Chong squeezed in front of him and found that the reporters were surrounded and had no intention of letting him go. He wanted to retreat, but he couldn't go back. In desperation, he had to stop and declare again: "Everyone, please give in, please respect the Golden Horse Awards. There are a few ladies behind me, please be gentleman..."

As he spoke, he was surprised. This was the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. He was not Elizabeth Taylor. What does this group of entertainment reporters mean to block him?

Moreover, after traveling through time, the media reporters he met were all very gentle and polite. This was the first time he encountered such a scene of surrounds that only existed in later generations.

"Mr. Chen, is there any possibility for Taiwan to develop a knowledge economy?"

"Mr. Chen, do you have any idea to invest in Taiwan?"

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of Taiwan's economic development prospects?"

...

Stimulated by his peers, Taiwanese reporters who had been worried about it also rushed up. The scene was in chaos, and the guests and participants who arrived in advance were stunned.

The chaos lasted for several minutes. A team of security guards in uniform rushed in and separated Chen Chong from the reporters' group with their bodies. Then a middle-aged man with a bald head hurried over and pulled Chen Chong out of the conference hall. He was sweating profusely and said repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, let's go to the backstage first. Please go to the backstage first to rest."

Chen Chong glanced at the wrong situation and saw that the situation was not good, Zhang Aijia and others who had already retreated outside, spread their hands and said, "So I am a big celebrity."

...

After the Shen Chong disappeared, the Great Hall quickly returned to normal order.

Following the number on the invitation, finding the position and after sitting down, Chen Yunwen patted her chest, looking in shock, and said to Zeng Lizhen next to her: "I have been reading Taiwanese newspapers these days, and I have been scolding the organizing committee for spending taxpayers' money, asking Elizabeth to present the award, and blocking the limelight of the Golden Horse Awards. It's really wrong for her. Shen Cai Shen is the one who really came to grab the limelight of the Golden Horse Awards."

"In less than a year, I have made hundreds of millions of dollars, who doesn't like it?" Zeng Lizhen smiled. She said with a proud expression: "Even people like me who often see their bosses want to find out the secrets for making money, let alone those reporters."

"Sister Zhen, please." Chen Yunwen clasped her hands together and said, "You must tell me after you have learned about Shen Cai Shen's secret to making money."

"I don't dare to ask." Zeng Lizhen changed her sitting position, hugged her chest with her hands, and said, "I used to be a joke, but recently I felt dizzy when I saw the boss and didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that he would fire me."

"Sister Zhen, you are known as the ghost of ghosts on the set. Those dragon and tiger martial artists who are not afraid of the world are all subject to your control. Do you dare not ask?" Chen Yunwen said without believing it and said, "Besides, since the establishment of Oriental Charm, the films produced by you are all produced by you and are the pillars of the company. How could Shen Cai Shen fire you?"

"Seeing the worries on the set?" Zhang Aijia, who greeted and chatted with several Taiwanese filmmakers in the back row, turned around and interrupted with a smile, "Sister Zhen, your nickname is so majestic."

"Those old fried dough sticks on the set." Zeng Lizhen said gritting her teeth: "I'm so lazy, I'm so lazy, I'm so tight, and I'm so chewing on my back. If I know who gave the nickname, I'll never let him go!"

"Aijia, don't cover your rich son-in-law." Chen Yunwen leaned over and glared at Zhang Aijia, and said, "Sister Zhen, you can find a chance to ask."

"If you ask yourself, go and ask yourself." Zeng Lizhen shook her head and said, "I really dare not ask. You think the boss made hundreds of millions of dollars casually, and would he care about the little money of the film company? And now the company has expanded its recruitment and has collected more than 40 newcomers at once. If I get bad and get fired, I will not have time to cry. Not everyone has the opportunity to work for billionaires."

"The company has taken over forty people at once?" Chen Yunwen was surprised and said, "When did it happen?"

"A batch was collected at the end of last month, and another batch a few days ago."

"Who are they?"

"It's very complicated." Zeng Lizhen explained casually: "Some people who worked on TV stations before, some from Jiahe, some from overseas, and a few from the mainland. In short, there are many people. My department alone, there are seven assistant producers, distribution departments, and props departments in one go."

"So many people are in one go." Chen Yunwen glanced at Anhua Xu, who was sitting on the edge and socializing with others, and then asked, "How many dramas does Shen Caishen want to play at the same time?"

"The company currently has only the two dramas I have in my hands, and they are all in the late stages. Fang Yuping originally had a drama to shoot, and the preparations were almost done, but the boss said he would not shoot them anymore and let them shoot them for another company." Zeng Lizhen frowned slightly and said, "There is not a new drama in the recent production plan."

"What about the "Shisanlang of the South China Sea" by Sister An?"

Zeng Lizhen smiled and said, "I don't care about that drama, the boss is responsible for it himself. He said when you have modified the script and started filming whenever you have started, the budget will not be topped off, and the personnel will choose whatever they want."

When Chen Yunwen heard this, she grabbed her hair, sighed and complained: "Your boss, although she is generous enough, she is even more harsh. In the past six months, I have gone to Qingshan Hospital for less than ten times. The data collected can be built in a library. The script has been revised back and forth six times. He is not satisfied and he really can't live!"

"Oh, by the way, you go to Qingshan Hospital." Qingshan Hospital is a famous mental hospital in Hong Kong. Zeng Lizhen had a gossip and asked curiously: "Seeing that Jiang Yu... Jiang Yu..."

"Jiang Yuli." Chen Yunwen read the name, sighed again, and said, "I have seen him, but he is no longer sober and cannot communicate normally. He must have a special doctor to take care of him. It's a pity that a generation of talented men ended up like this, which makes people sympathize with him."

"Who said it was not..." Zeng Lizhen was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"Hey, may I ask, are you from the crew of "Crazy Job"?"

The scene of Shen Chong just now attracted much attention from the group of "Crazy Job". People from all walks of life came to inquire about the news, chatting and socializing, forming a big circle, which was full of controversy. After more than half an hour, the lights in the Great Hall dimmed, announcing that the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was about to begin.

After the audience was quiet, the host reported the show and the host came on stage to announce the official start of the 16th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Chen Chong, led by the staff, hugged and found the seat.

After sitting down, Zhang Aijia and he bit their ears and asked, "Isn't it okay?"

"It's okay, I'll chat with people in the backstage for a while." Chen Chong was in a good mood, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Although the spoilers are boring, I still recommend that you quickly think about what to say when you receive the award later."

When Zhang Aijia heard this, she was surprised and happy, and her eyes were lit.

Chen Chong nodded slightly, curled his lips to Chen Yunwen's direction, and whispered: "And that guy's contract of selling his body can't escape."

"You guessed it all?"

Chen Chong smiled proudly.

On the way to the Memorial Hall of the Founding Fathers, Zhang Aijia talked about Shen Chong predicting that she was the Best Actress of the Golden Horse Awards with a political perspective. Chen Yunwen scoffed at this and believed that movies and politics were different things, so she bet with Shen Chong to bet on how many awards she would win in the end.

Chen Chong won, Chen Yunwen signed a contract with Oriental Charm for ten movie scripts, and Chen Chong lost, Chen Yunwen could choose a famous calligraphy and painting he got from Beijing.

When making this bet, Chen Chong can be said to be a bully.

Chen Yunwen has been writing TV scripts on TVB before. "Crazy Jones" was her first time in the film industry. She is also a Hong Konger. She can't even figure out the origin of the Golden Horse Awards. It's hard to make a rash bet without losing.

Although the Golden Horse Awards are the "Golden" generation, like the Golden Bear Awards, the Golden Palme d'Or, and other movie awards, they are not golden "Gold".

Gold is "Kinmen Island" and horse is "Mazu Island". Both places are the front lines of confrontation with the mainland. The original intention of naming the Golden Horse Awards is to encourage the Taiwanese film industry to emulate the strong spirit of the officers and soldiers in these two places and strive to create a new situation...

Even the name has such a strong political color, so the ownership of the award can naturally be difficult to escape the distribution of the interests of the Pai Baishi Guoguo. This is also the reason why the Golden Horse Award is the only grand prize in the current Chinese film industry, but its credibility and authority have always been low.

Before 1978, the Golden Horse Awards were announced before the award ceremony. In 1978, after Song Chuyu took office and acted as the "News Director", he immediately took the Golden Horse Awards, imitated the Academy Awards, and implemented a two-stage review system. After reviewing all the participating videos in the first stage, he held a meeting to discuss, voted to submit the shortlisted videos and various individual lists and announced them, and then selected the list of winners, and announced the final results at the award ceremony.

Last year was a trial, and this year it was the first time that it was officially implemented. Although it seemed very standardized, the members of the jury were assigned, and the review process was opaque and not changed the medicine. It was not much different from the previous sharing of political interests.

There are 15 awards in the Golden Horse Awards, which is difficult to guess all of them, but just guessing the seven awards that were shortlisted for "Crazy Joe" is a piece of cake - Shen Chong is not very clear about other years, but in 1979, there was Elizabeth Taylor, and the Golden Horse Awards this year were very well-known.

For example, the best movie, "Crazy Job" is absolutely nothing. This is the thing in the pocket of "Small Town Story". The reason is very simple. "Small Town Story" is a commemorative work of Taiwan's Volkswagen Film Company for ten years of entrepreneurship.

Popular Film Company is a private film company founded by Li Xing, Bai Jingrui and others. It has a very deep background, similar to the status of Huayi Brothers in the mainland film industry in later generations. Can "Crazy Job" win the limelight of the ten-year celebration of local snakes?

For example, the best director, Ann Hui, has no chance.

Chinese people have always had the habit of ranking seniority by seniority. Regardless of the quality of the movie or the seniority alone, Ann Hui suffered a great loss because there is Hu Jinquan on the shortlist. Ann Hui once served as an assistant director for Hu Jinquan, and he is half of his apprentice. How can his apprentice compete with his master? Besides, the quality of "Legend of the Mountain" is no worse than "Crazy Calamity".

Moreover, Hu Jinquan went to the mainland in the name of visiting relatives some time ago, which made the Taiwanese authorities very nervous. As the only director in the Chinese-language film industry who won the International Film Award in Europe and has a high status in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry, if he defected to the mainland and filmed for the mainland, it would be very unfavorable to Taiwan's political propaganda.

So Taiwan needs to win him over with the Golden Horse Award.

As for Best Actress, Chen Chong is so sure that Zhang Aigain won, it has nothing to do with politics. He just remembers the history of his previous life. In 1979 and 1980, Zhang Aiga was a Golden Horse Awards host for two consecutive years. In 1980, she was also a finalist for Best Actress, but she won nothing. In 1981, when she was at its peak, she was not the host and ended up winning the Golden Horse Awards Best Actress.

These three awards are the most attention, the political atmosphere is the strongest, and the easiest to guess. The four technical awards shortlisted for "Crazy Joe" are not only the best soundtrack, but the other three are solely because the overall quality of Chinese-language films is relatively low and the competitiveness is seriously insufficient. Once there is no political interference, you can determine the award at a glance.

For example, the best photography is definitely from "Legend of the Mountains", Hu Jinquan's movie. Each shot is meticulously crafted and full of poetry and painting. No one can compete with this, and there is no dispute.

Similarly, the multilinear narrative structure of "Crazy Joe" is very different from all previous Chinese films, as well as the sharp and fast editing techniques, stand out among all the participating films, so there is no suspense about the best original screenwriter and best editing.

These areas with strong professional nature are not very popular, and the Golden Horse Awards also require them to decorate the "professional" and "authoritative" appearances.

As for the best soundtrack, although it is also a very professional field, it is a pity that Chen Chong can only shout for Luo Dayou...

After the Rolling Stones split, the Duan brothers quickly released Luo Dayou's new album. As expected, the extremely rebellious songs annoyed the government. The newspapers were criticized. After only one week of release, they were ordered to ban them, banned from TV, radio, and advertising. Fortunately, the Duan brothers had strong enough activity ability, so they were not banned from selling and recovering and destroying, but they could only be sold in stores designated by the government.

Under various restrictions, the sales of the record are very bleak. Since its release, more than 3,000 copies have been sold.
