Lin Qingxia was wearing a black long skirt, her delicate and elegant collarbone under her half-exposed shoulders was tempting, and a sapphire necklace made the snow muscles on her chest dazzlingly reflect.
Before going out, Lin Qingxia took off her long black gloves and got a bow tie from somewhere to wear Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei always felt uncomfortable in his neck, so he pulled it off and threw it aside and said, "Don't wear a bow tie, otherwise others will treat me as a bar waiter."
"You're just talking too much." Lin Qingxia gave him a blank look, put on long gloves, and went out with her bag.
Kang Jianfei hurriedly chased after him and drove Lin Qingxia to the Central Ring Road. He knew that Lin Qingxia was still a little uncomfortable because of Guan Zhilin's affairs.
Lin Qingxia sat in the car for a while and suddenly said, "Your sister Jiahui won't come today, right?"
"Cough," Kang Jianfei covered up his embarrassment with a cough, and then smiled, "She has not been nominated yet, what should she do at the Academy Awards ceremony?"
Lin Qingxia said, "Who said she could not attend the award ceremony without a nomination? Maybe she could walk the red carpet."
Kang Jianfei didn't want to get entangled with Lin Qingxia about women's issues, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Qingxia, guess how many awards can we win today?"
Lin Qingxia no longer chased Kang Jianfei with words. She leaned against her seat and looked out the window and said, "I guess I don't have a chance. Commercial films like "Deadly Express" do not need to show much acting skills. All the judges of the film awards prefer art films."
Lin Qingxia won the only nomination for Best Actress at this Hong Kong Film Awards, but she felt she had no hope. Kang Jianfei was a little better, nominated for Best Director with "The Deadly Express" and the Best Movie Soundtrack with "God of Gamblers".
As for the entire DreamWorks, there are more nominations for the Academy Awards.
Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Mistakes" alone has three nominations for Best Movie Song, Best Screenwriter and Best Actress; Lee Xiuxian's "Doctor of the Lamb" has been nominated for Best Editing and Best Actor; "God of Gamblers" has been nominated for Best Actor, Best Photography, and Best Movie Soundtrack.
However, the one with the highest award was "Half Man" produced by Yindu Institution (a subsidiary of Phoenix Pictures). This box office was only more than 1.9 million art film, and was nominated for 7 in one fell swoop. Another film by Yindu Institution (a subsidiary of Xin Kunlun Pictures) also received 5 nominations, among which Liang Jiahui was nominated for the Best Newcomer and Best Actor at the same time.
Compared with DreamWorks' commerciality, Yindu Institution is the most powerful company to sweep trophysical prizes at the Academy Awards.
Due to the limited space outside Taiping Cinema, this red carpet show changed the rules. The Golden Star Award Organizing Committee arranged a lobby at the Central Hotel, and all the celebrities and guests who attended the award ceremony went to the Central Hotel to rest and wait.
When the red carpet show is about to begin, the Golden Star Awards Organizing Committee will send a luxury car to pick it up and drive directly to the outside of Taiping Theater to walk the red carpet.
Of course, the so-called luxury cars were also sponsored by Mitsubishi Group. The Peking University Awards Organizing Committee did not spend a penny, but instead charged a sponsorship fee from Mitsubishi.
When Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia came to the Central Hotel, dozens of people had gathered in the hall booked by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee, gathered together in groups of three or three to chat and joke.
There were also some reporters allowed to enter in the hall. When Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia arrived, the reporters' attention was on Cheng Long, and Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao were also standing with him. The three brothers seemed to be taking the opportunity to promote the "Fast Food Truck" that will be filmed in Spain.
Lin Qingxia's appearance immediately attracted several reporters, while Kang Jianfei found a seat to sit down, waiting for the time to take the bus to Taiping Theater.
However, this still failed to escape the reporter's "chasing". A female reporter from Hong Kong Radio came over and asked, "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Jiang Jianian, an entertainment reporter from Hong Kong Radio. Can you reveal any news about the new film?"
Seeing that the female reporter was impatient, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I'll give you a scoop. The title of the new film is "Love Saint."
Jiang Jianian's eyes lit up with joy and asked, "Is it a romance movie?"
"You guess." Kang Jianfei smiled at the female reporter.
Jiang Jianian asked again: "I heard that Mao Shunyun is also one of the heroines this time?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang is well-informed."
Jiang Jianian thoughtfully said: "Is this a love triangle between two women and one man?"
"I'm sorry, no." Kang Jianfei smiled.
It took several minutes before Kang Jianfei finally sent the female reporter. Fortunately, there were not many reporters here, and only a few media with cooperative relationships with Phoenix Taiwan were allowed to send people to interview. Kang Jianfei rarely had a moment of leisure.
Suddenly, Kang Jianfei was attracted by the conversation between the two people next to him because they were speaking Mandarin.
“The accommodation here is very expensive, right?”
"It should be very expensive, and I haven't lived there."
"By the way, have you made any new movies after you return to Hong Kong?"
"Not yet, where are you?"
"I don't have it either, but I will act in "Northern Red Beans" next month."
“…”
Kang Jianfei turned his head and saw that the two people who were talking were Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing.
Logically speaking, as a mainland actor, Liu Xiaoqing would probably not come to attend the award ceremony even if she was nominated in Hong Kong. Because she had to pay her travel expenses by herself, based on Liu Xiaoqing's current salary (50 yuan per month), it would be enough for her two years to come to Hong Kong.
But Liu Xiaoqing came because the fare was paid by Li Hanxiang for her, and Director Li seemed to be very confident in winning the award for his work.
Kang Jianfei was idle anyway, so he got up and walked over the sofa next to the two of them, greeted him, "You two are having a great time chatting. Can I participate?"
Liu Xiaoqing looked at Kang Jianfei vigilantly, and had no good impression of this familiar guy. She asked Liang Jiahui: "Is this comrade your friend?"
Liang Jiahui looked at Kang Jianfei in a daze, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Kang?"
Kang Jianfei joked: "I was finally recognized, but it seems that I am still a little famous."
Liang Jiahui is just a newcomer who has made two movies, and he is a small character in front of Kang Jianfei. He quickly explained: "Mr. Kang, don't get it wrong. I didn't expect you to come over and think you have admitted it."
"You did not admit your mistake. I have watched the two performing "The Old Summer Palace" and "The Legend of the Concubine". I really like your performances." Kang Jianfei explained why he took the initiative to come to them.
Liu Xiaoqing didn't know Kang Jianfei at all. Seeing that Liang Jiahui was extremely respectful to Kang Jianfei, she couldn't help asking: "Jiahui, what is this comrade...sir?"
Liang Jiahui helped introduce: "This is Mr. Kang Jianfeikang, the boss of Oriental DreamWorks Film Company and a very famous director."
It turns out that he is the boss of a film company... Liu Xiaoqing has defined Kang Jianfei as the rich young man because Kang Jianfei is too young. Whether as a boss or a director, he does not meet Liu Xiaoqing's perception in terms of age.
As for the "big director" that Liang Jiahui mentioned, Liu Xiaoqing only thought it was him flattering. How could he make a good movie at a young age?
"Hello, Mr. Kang, my name is Liu Xiaoqing." Liu Xiaoqing shook hands with Kang Jianfei with a smile, and sat down on Kang Jianfei's side very enthusiastically.
For Liu Xiaoqing, who is an ordinary family background, the boss of a Hong Kong film company is a big shot who is rich and has a big hand and eyes. Naturally, he has to make friends with him well.
Liu Xiaoqing is not a good woman to meet. Eight years ago, in order to obtain a Beijing household registration, she chose to marry the violinist of the General Political Department Opera Troupe. As a result, on the fourth morning of the marriage, Liu Xiaoqing left her newlywed husband, and it took one year to leave. The two finally completed the divorce procedures the year before yesterday.
When filming "Off the Curtain" last year, Liu Xiaoqing's resignation storm also made Li Hanxiang feel overwhelmed, and he was the first big star among mainland actors to lose his temper.
However, there is a reason why Liu Xiaoqing stopped acting that time: Since "Off the Curtain" is a co-production between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the male lead Liang Jiahui is unknown and is the first time to make a movie, and Liu Xiaoqing has long been a domestic celebrity.
Liu Xiaoqing got angry because of the different food supply in the mainland and Hong Kong. The food treatment of mainland and Hong Kong actors is different. Hong Kong actors are responsible for the food, and Liu Xiaoqing and other actors are responsible for the mainland co-production companies.
Liu Xiaoqing, a big mainland star, eats with other mainland actors in a plastic bag, containing two steamed buns and a piece of black pickles. However, when Hong Kong actors start their meals at noon, each of them has a dining cart, chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as rice.
Liang Jiahui, a new actor, actually had better food than the big star Liu Xiaoqing. Such a strong contrast caused Liu Xiaoqing to cry and stop acting on the spot. This was a situation that had never happened before. Other actors were afraid of being punished, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Because most of the scenes were Liu Xiaoqing's plays at that time, and the director, director and deputy director came to coax her. Liu Xiaoqing cried and shouted, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat rice." Director Li Hanxiang said, "Hurry, bring the meat." Liu Xiaoqing cried and refused, saying, "I want all mainland actors to eat meat and eat me before filming." The crew was completely speechless. There were tens of thousands of mainland extras, and finally gave up the main mainland actors.
Kang Jianfei was not interested in Liu Xiaoqing. He just valued Liang Jiahui's potential, so he came to meet today.
"Miss Liu, I have watched the movie, and your "Little Flower" is good." Kang Jianfei praised casually.
"Mr. Kang praised me. I was still young at that time and didn't know anything when filming." Liu Xiaoqing was proud of her. The boss of a Hong Kong film company had actually seen the movies she had acted in before.
"It's good to have a true temperament when performing, but acting skills are not that important," Kang Jianfei chatted with Liu Xiaoqing for a few words, and then asked Liang Jiahui, "Ah Hui is still signing for the new Kunlun?"
Liang Jiahui replied: "I haven't signed any company. My former job was an entertainment journalist, and now I am a freelance actor."
Entertainment reporter...
Liang Jiahui's answer was a bit unexpected to Kang Jianfei. He had never heard of Liang Jiahui as an entertainment reporter.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei was a little confused, Liang Jiahui began to explain his work experience in detail. It turned out that Liang Jiahui used to be a wireless artist training class and was also a classmate with Liu Dehua. However, after finishing the training class, he failed to sign a contract with the wireless station.
Later, Liang Jiahui successfully joined a magazine as an entertainment reporter. With his experience in the wireless training class, he also dug up a lot of trail news.
Once, the magazine where Liang Jiahui was located invited Li Hanxiang's daughter Li Dianlang to be the cover girl. Liang Jiahui was responsible for the interview task and took photos of Li Dianlang. It was this time that Liang Jiahui and Li Hanxiang's daughter began to fall in love and were appreciated by Li Hanxiang.
Later, Li Hanxiang went north to film "The Old Summer Palace" and "The Reign of the Curtain" and called Liang Jiahui to go to Beijing/Beijing immediately. Liang Jiahui thought that Li Hanxiang asked him to be an assistant director or assistant director. He felt that he had nothing to do anyway, and that he could go to Beijing/Beijing for a year and get a salary, which was a very rare good job.
As a result, after Liang Jiahui went to Beijing/Beijing, Li Hanxiang directly asked him to shaved his head and play the role of the emperor.
Now the relationship between Liang Jiahui and Li Hanxiang's daughter has begun to fade, but his relationship with Li Hanxiang is very strong. After "On the Curtains" was sold, many companies asked Liang Jiahui to make movies, but Li Hanxiang was blocked back because Director Li thought that the scripts were too bad and would affect Liang Jiahui's screen image.
After hearing this, Kang Jianfei sighed: "Ah Hui, if you have a script, you can take it. Maybe after this Academy Awards, no director in Hong Kong is willing to invite you to film."
"Why?" Liang Jiahui asked.
Kang Jianfei asked back: "Liu Dehua is your classmate. Do you know why he refused to come on stage to receive the award last year?"
"Because "Traveling to the Sea of ​​Rage" was filmed in the mainland," Liang Jiahui immediately understood and asked, "Mr. Kang means I will be banned by the Taiwan News Bureau?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "If you don't win the award, it's not a big problem. Once you win the trophy of the Golden Horse Awards, the Taiwan News Bureau will ban you 100% unless you go to Taipei in person to admit your mistake and write a letter of repentance."
Liang Jiahui had a tough temper. He said with some displeasure: "Why should I write a book of repentance? I did nothing wrong."
"If you want to make a movie one day, you can call me this time." Kang Jianfei did not say much to Liang Jiahui, but handed him a business card very rarely, and then left to find Lin Qingxia on the excuse.
After Liu Xiaoqing waited for Kang Jian to fly away, he asked Liang Jiahui: "Jiahui, is there any director Li's new Kunlun Film Company big in this Mr. Kang's Oriental Dream Factory?"
Liang Jiahui had not completely ended his relationship with Li Hanxiang's daughter at this time. He hesitated and explained: "This, DreamWorks is one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong."
Liu Xiaoqing knew nothing about the Hong Kong film industry and asked: "What are the largest film companies in Hong Kong?"
Liang Jiahui explained: "The biggest ones are Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, DreamWorks, Yindu Organization and Xinyi City. Xin Kunlun Pictures is the satellite subsidiary of Yindu Organization."
Liu Xiaoqing now understood and said in surprise: "In other words, DreamWorks and Yindu Institution are at the same level, and Director Li's new Kunlun is one level shorter?"
Seeing that Liu Xiaoqing regarded Hong Kong's company as a mainland agency, Liang Jiahui was really hard to explain, so he could only nod and said, "It's almost the case."
Liu Xiaoqing looked at Kang Jianfei's leaving back and his eyes shining, thinking: Mr. Kang is so powerful at such a young age!
Seeing Kang Jianfei holding Lin Qingxia's hand and being surrounded by several reporters to take photos, the woman's natural comparative mentality made Liu Xiaoqing feel unhappy and asked, "Is that Mr. Kang's girlfriend? She is pretty."
Liang Jiahui said: "That is the big star Lin Qingxia, known as the number one beauty in Asia. She is also very famous in the United States and Europe."
Liang Jiahui's words made Liu Xiaoqing completely lose his temper. She was just a big star in the mainland, and the other party was already an internationally renowned actress.
Liu Xiaoqing didn't want to mention Lin Qingxia, a woman who was better than her, turned the topic to Kang Jianfei again and said, "By the way, you just said Mr. Kang is a great director. What movies have he made?"
"Mr. Kang has a lot of movies. You can bring a few boxes of movie videos when you go back to the mainland." Liang Jiahui said and added, "His movies are all very good. My personal favorites are "Dao Madan" and "Mr. Zombie".
Only then did Liu Xiaoqing realize that Kang Jianfei seemed to be a big director, but Liang Jiahui was flattering him. She asked: "Mr. Kang is so young, how could he make many movies?"
Liang Jiahui whispered: "Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Mr. Kang's experience is that he traveled from the mainland more than four years later."
"He is also from the mainland?" Liu Xiaoqing screamed in surprise.
Liang Jiahui nodded and said, "I heard that he is from Bao'an. He can't eat enough in the mainland and risked his life to swim in the sea to make a living."
Liu Xiaoqing asked in disbelief: "It's only been a few years, and he can open a company by himself?"
"It's not just the company," Liang Jiahui said in admiration. "This Academy Awards ceremony was hosted by Phoenix TV, and the boss behind Phoenix TV is Mr. Kang."
Liu Xiaoqing was more shocked and said, "How much does he cost? He is actually the boss of the TV station."
Liang Jiahui said: "I don't know how much money he has, but the net worth of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is certain, and it may have exceeded 2 billion."
Liu Xiaoqing, whose monthly salary has just increased to more than 60 yuan, has been astronomical in her eyes. Now, Liang Jiahui uses 10,000 yuan to calculate Kang Jianfei's net worth, which makes Liu Xiaoqing feel that the whole world is beginning to be illusory.
"I have earned more than one billion in more than four years, and I can't even rob a bank so quickly." Liu Xiaoqing said in a daze, her values ​​have begun to collapse.
There is no way, the contrast between people is too big.
Liu Xiaoqing was still giving up last year because he could eat meat and rice. Kang Jianfei, who is also a commoner in the mainland, has already made a fortune of billions.
Chapter completed!
