"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was originally about to be painted at the end of February, but since there were no good movies to be arranged in March, Princess Jin's theaters simply continued to extend the release time of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". [r///>
March 6, 1982, Jingzhe.
"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was officially released, with a total box office of 23.18 million in Hong Kong, becoming the biggest winner of the New Year in 1982.
I have to say that Hong Kong audiences prefer to watch comedy movies. A new martial arts classic movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" that was released ten years ahead of schedule, and also with the east wind of "Shaolin Temple" and Kang Jianfei's box office appeal, the box office is still not as good as "Best Partner" in New Art City half a year ago.
Before the movie was released, Kang Jianfei's estimated box office was more than 25 million, but unfortunately it was still more than one million.
As the only movie with a box office of over 20 million this year during the Spring Festival, after the final box office was announced, the media's focus was still on the ban on Kang Jianfei in Taiwan.
It was just speculation before that Hong Kong media has obtained confirmation from Taiwan in recent days. Some film companies originally saw "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" selling well and wanted to invite Hui Yinghong, Wu Mengda and others to make movies, but now they have also begun to shirk all kinds of responsibilities. But those who signed the film contract can only sigh that they are unlucky.
Three days after the painting of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held as scheduled. Like Kang Jianfei's situation, many people in the circle who originally did not want to attend because of favors had to attend.
Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai.
Kang Jianfei took Lin Qingxia's men out of the car and looked at the bare road in front of the Art Center building. He couldn't help but feel funny. The Golden Star Awards were held too simple, not even the red carpet, so it was a bit too much to save.
Entering the building, I took the elevator and followed the sign to the Shouchen Theater. After entering, Kang Jianfei found that the reporters were in the theater. No wonder there were not many people in front of the Art Center building.
There were a lot of reporters, and there were about twenty or thirty media outlets. Kang Jianfei was besieged as soon as he appeared. What was surprising about the interviews of these people was that he was banned by Taiwan.
Kang Jianfei kept silent and pulled Lin Qingxia's hand and squeezed forward. After walking to the front row, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that Shao Yifu was coming too. "Movie Biweekly" seemed to have a wide connection.
In addition to the film tycoon Shao Yifu, Hong Kong Government Affairs Officer Zhong Yijie, Municipal Affairs Chairman Zhang Youxin and others also attended, and they were also guests of the awards. From this point of view, the Hong Kong Film Awards held by "Movie Biweekly" may have received support from certain departments.
There are more and more people in Shoucen Theater. There are actors, directors, screenwriters and other filmmakers. Some are also film critics and ordinary movie fans.
Zhou Runfa loosened his tie and breathed. After looking around for a week, he said to Chen Yulian beside him: "My sister Lian, am I dressing too formally today?"
Chen Yulian smiled and said, "How can you think you are dressing too formally? You should have dressed like this at the awards ceremony."
Zhou Runfa pointed at the surroundings and said, "It seems that I am the only one among the actors who are wearing a suit."
Chen Yulian looked up and saw that except for Shao Yifu and other film company bosses, Zhou Runfa was wearing a formal outfit alone. Like Xu Ke, he came with messy hair. He casually latched a coat on his body, looking like a dock porter.
Several bosses from Xinyi City came, and Hong Jinbao also entered the market soon, but Long did not come because he had no place to present the award today.
The host of the award ceremony was Wu Jialian and Zhan Xiaoping. The former was a senior host of Hong Kong Radio and the latter was a song host of TVB.
After the two hosts came on stage, Wu Jialian glanced at the bottom and said to Zhan Xiaoping beside him: "Aping, there are so many amazing people coming to the award ceremony today."
Zhan Xiaoping cooperated and asked, "Is that so? Who are the big guys?"
Wu Jialian said: "Mr. Zhong from the Government Affairs Department and Chairman Zhang from the Municipal Bureau are considered big shots?"
Zhan Xiaoping nodded and said, "Yes, yes, they are all big shots. If Chairman Zhang is unhappy, I will be unable to do anything even if I host."
A chuckle came from the audience, and Zhang Youxin, who was teased by two hosts, also laughed.
Wu Jialian pointed to Shao Yifu's seat and said, "Chairman Zhang is not very powerful. There is someone over there who coughs. You have no salary this month."
The two introduced several big bosses, Kang Jianfei, Hong Jinbao, Mecca and others, but they didn't mention it. It seemed that the bosses of the "new" company were not worth enough.
Kang Jianfei's face was not unhappy, but Chen Bosen, who was sitting in the audience, felt a little uncomfortable and said to Shu Qi beside him: "Are these two people intentional?"
Shu Qi is in his twenties and is from Bao'an like Kang Jianfei. He was originally a screenwriter at Jiayi TV. After Jiashi went bankrupt, he joined Jiahe as a director and deputy director. Later, he founded "Movie Biweekly" with Chen Bosen and others and served as editor-in-chief.
Because Shu Qi was both a screenwriter and assistant director in Jiahe, he later directed the movies himself and planned the program for the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and often he was too busy at all. So after being the editor-in-chief of "Movie Biweekly", Shu Qi gave up the position of editor-in-chief to Chen Bosen for several months.
Now that Shu Qi has resigned from Jiahe and is dedicated to developing the "Movie Biweekly", Chen Bosen returned the position of editor-in-chief. The real planner who founded the Hong Kong Film Awards this time was Shu Qi, undoubtedly the officials of the Government Affairs Department and the Municipal Bureau, who were also invited by Shu Qi's face.
Judging from the current development speed of Oriental DreamWorks and the ranking of Hong Kong movie box offices in the past two years, although Kang Jianfei is much smaller, his status in the film industry is enough to be comparable to Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. The two hosts only said that Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, but did not mention Kang Jianfei at all, which was obviously inappropriate.
Shu Qi said helplessly: "Maybe they were just unintentional mistakes. He shouldn't care if he invited Mr. Kang to a meal after the award ceremony."
Wu Jialian on the stage continued: "Today we are going to award the Hong Kong Film Awards, Aping, do you know how many years of Hong Kong films have?"
Zhan Xiaoping said in surprise: "I really don't know when you ask this."
Wu Jialian smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know either, but Mr. Xian Qiran specially made a brief history of Hong Kong movies. Please watch the big screen!"
The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and when the projector beam was cast on the big screen, the two hosts had already left. A black and white stills of a movie appeared on the screen, and the voiceover also sounded: "In 1909, Bin Jiemen Brasky, the owner of the Shanghai Asia Film Company, filmed the silent comedy "Stealing Duck" in Hong Kong. The main creators of the film are all from the Hong Kong drama industry, and the director is Liang Shaopo. The actors include Liang Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Li Beihai, etc., and the history of Hong Kong films has thus opened the curtain..."
Immediately afterwards, another black and white photo on the street, with a voice-over commentary: "In 1911, Hong Kong's first luxury cinema, "Doly Cinema", was completed in Des Voe Road..."
When another black and white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Shao Yifu couldn't help but sit up straight.
"In 1913, the first feature film produced in Hong Kong, "Zhuangzi Tests Wife" was previewed. The director was Li Minwei, the photographer was Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors were Li Minwei and Yan Shanshan. This film marked the end of the enlightenment period of Hong Kong films. The beginning of the budding period. It opened a new page in the history of Hong Kong films. In 1913, this year was the first year of Hong Kong films in the true sense. The photo that everyone sees on the screen is Mr. Li Minwei, the father of Hong Kong films..."
Kang Jianfei didn't know much about Li Minwei. Instead, he was more interested in Li Minwei's granddaughter Gigi Lai.
Seeing scenes passing by on the big screen, Kang Jianfei couldn't help but think: In another thirty or fifty years, what is his status in the history of Hong Kong films?
Perhaps because of the fear of causing controversy, this brief history of Hong Kong movies recorded that Bruce Lee died and did not continue to produce it. The film has a lot of attention to the struggle between heroes in the 1950s and Shaw Brothers struggle in the 1960s, but Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai rebeled from Shaw Brothers one after another, but it was just a matter of mentioning that in a certain year and month, director Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers and went to Taiwan to establish Guolian Pictures, and in a certain year and month, Mr. Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and founded Jiahe.
As for Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Mecca, Kang Jianfei and others, they didn't even mention it in this film.
Even so, the Hong Kong filmmakers on the scene received a burst of warm applause. After all, the film just now all the industry predecessors appeared.
After a burst of applause, the two hosts returned to the stage. Wu Jialian said: "The one that will be awarded this year's top ten Chinese video awards."
Zhan Xiaoping said excitedly: "The top ten Chinese-language films that won the first Hong Kong Film Awards are... "Father and Son Love"!"
The director of "Father and Son Love" is Fang Yuping, but the director did not attend the event today. The boss of Phoenix Pictures went up to receive the award on his behalf. The boss is over 60 years old and today he was wearing a Zhongshan outfit, which seemed to show his style as a left-wing filmmaker. He walked on stage to receive the award certificate from the Etiquette Miss and said a brief award speech to the microphone: "Thank you, thank the organizing committee for its affirmation and recognition of "Father and Son Love". In the future, Phoenix Pictures will make more good movies to serve the people."
Kang Jianfei sat down and muttered, "No way, I don't even have a guest presentation, and I don't even give a trophy. Just give me a certificate of award?"
Wu Jialian is still reading the list of winners: ""God and Wise"!"
There was no nomination for the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and no one knew who would win the award in advance. Xu Ke was stunned for a moment and ran up, looked at the award certificate and said, "I didn't expect someone to be brave enough to hold a movie awards. I admire his courage and hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards will be better and better."
After the award ceremony, Xu Ke did not go down, but retreated to the back and formed a row with the boss of Phoenix Pictures. The top ten Chinese film winners will take a group photo later.
Zhan Xiaoping continued to recite: ""The Story of Hu Yue"!"
Anh Xu, dressed in casual clothes, walked up calmly and said lightly: "Thank you Mr. Kang for investing in me, otherwise this movie would be difficult to give birth."
