In March 1985, three cinemas built by Kang Jianfei and the mainland started construction in Shanghai/Hai, Guangzhou/zhou and Shenzhen. The three cinemas are all newly built six-story buildings, and the following floors are used to open department stores, sell home appliances, clothing, food, etc. The top floor is the cinema's screening hall.
These three buildings are all lands produced by the mainland government, and Kang Jianfei invested fully. The built buildings belong to the local government, with Kang Jianfei accounting for 49% of the cinema shares, and the local government accounting for 51%, while the department store is completely Kang Jianfei's industry. As for the land where the building is located, the land belongs to the country. However, as long as Kang Jianfei does not fall in love with the local government, he can continue to use it indefinitely.
Of course, Kang Jianfei himself has no time to run a department store. After the building is completed, he can only hire Hong Kong department store management talents to work as managers in mainland China with high salaries. As for the construction sites of the three buildings, Kang Jianfei has sent people to guard and coordinate.
In order to establish good relations with the local government, Kang Jianfei donated 2 million yuan to Shenzhen University, Sun Yat-sen University and Fudan University respectively to build libraries for the three schools and purchase new books and sports equipment.
After all, Kang Jianfei is also a patriotic capitalist. It is still impossible to be vague when it is time to bleed. Shao Yifu has donated 4 Hong Kong dollars since the beginning of the year, and many Yifu buildings are rising from the ground of the motherland.
After spending a lot of money on the mainland, Kang Jianfei, who was in Hong Kong, did not favor one or the other, and he donated another 100 Hong Kong dollars to the "Hong Kong Film and Culture Center".
The Hong Kong Film and Culture Center was established 7 years ago to develop Hong Kong's film industry, regularly hold film and cultural activities, promote valuable films, customize film research, publish the journal "Film Man", and also offer film courses. For example, Xu Ke teaches at the Film and Culture Center at this time, and will go to two classes when he has time.
The reason why Kang Jianfei donated money so generously to the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center is actually very utilitarian. In addition to making money from many directors, it is also to better absorb film talents, including the absorption of local animation talents in Hong Kong, because the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center was the only institution in Hong Kong that offered animation production courses at this time.
In addition, last year, the Hong Kong government established the only school in Hong Kong that specializes in cultivating performing talents, namely the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. This school is still very powerful. In the parallel space, Huang Qiusheng, Zhu Quan and Deng Ziqi are all alumni of this school.
With the Hong Kong Film and Culture Center cultivating behind-the-scenes creative talents and the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts cultivating actors, the Future Star Training Class of Oriental Entertainment Agency can be completely suspended.
The Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts has only been established for half a year. Both faculty and hardware equipment are insufficient. Kang Jianfei donated 2 million yuan to purchase professional equipment for the Academy of Performing Arts with one wave of his hand.
Kang Jianfei knew the importance of a good reputation. The richer he was, the more he was jealous and jealous. The rich man who liked to engage in charity was respected, so he decided to donate 18 million yuan every year to save some good reputation.
On March 18, Zhang Tianxi, deputy general manager of DreamWorks Administration, was transferred to Heima Comics Company as general manager.
On the same day, the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony was held at Taiping Theater.
DreamWorks was nominated the most for this year's Academy Awards. Even "Love Can't Stop" starring Zhang Guorong, Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen were nominated for the best screenwriter.
Xinyi City and Jiahe were a little miserable, with only one film "Teppanyaki" and "Fast Food Truck" respectively being shortlisted. On the contrary, Shaw Brothers, which have been discontinued, have been nominated for four films: "The Bold Girl of the Tang Dynasty", "Fate", "Snow" and "Good Guard Stick".
In addition, the left-wing movie "Like the Years" has won 10 nominations, making it the biggest favorite to win the award at this year's Academy Awards. The producer of this film is Bluebird Film Company. The producer is Jin Yong's dream lover Xia Meng, and it is also the last movie produced by Xia Meng before selling Bluebird. The heroine of this film is Mainland actor S Qinggaowa.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Yulang, who was proud last year, also began to enter the film industry. "The Wrong Marriage" produced by Yulang Pictures not only sold 4.9 million yuan in box office, but also the leading female lead Deanie Ip was nominated for the Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards.
What attracted the most attention of Hong Kong media is that Kang Jianfei, a regular at the Hong Kong Film Awards, did not even have a technical award nomination this year.
Originally, the Academy Award was sponsored by Phoenix Station. Although the law firm was invited to make full notarization, some people have always said that Kang Jianfei presented the award to himself. This year, DreamWorks' movie won half of the Academy Award nominations. Fortunately, Kang Jianfei's movie was nominated for a single nomination, otherwise more people would say strange words.
Of course, no matter whether it is right or wrong, the people who say strange things will not disappear. For example, some media reported this: "Kang Jianfei was lost in the box office tide and completely abandoned his artistic pursuit of movies."
Some media also said: "Kang Jianfei has finished his talents and can never make a good movie like "Dao Ma Dan" or "Mr. Zombie". Only the boring comedy that relies on shit, peeing and farts to get money from the fans' pockets."
As long as these newspapers are not directly attacked by personal information, Kang Jianfei laughed it off.
Although he did not receive any nomination this year, Kang Jianfei still has to attend the award ceremony of the Academy Awards, and he also has Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin around him.
As the leading director in Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei will attract attention as long as he makes his debut on the public. How could he miss the great promotional opportunity of the Academy Awards? This time he brought Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin to the awards ceremony to promote the new film that will be filmed soon.
"Andai, Andy Lau!"
"Brother Ma, I love you."
"Alan Tam, Allen, Allen!"
"Hong Gu..."
RVs drove outside the Taiping Cinema and stopped. The fans outside the cordon screamed from time to time, expressing their love to their idols.
Another RV stopped in front of the red carpet, and the flashing lights were lit up when Kang Jian flew out of the car door, while Guan Zhilin and Li Lianjie who got off the car then surprised the reporters.
In order to avoid the troubles of the Taiwan authorities, since Li Lianjie signed into DreamWorks, he has only made one film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and was loaned to the Yindu Agency for filming. However, Guan Zhilin has been rich and has not had the intention to make any movies in the past two years, so her fame is gradually losing.
Now Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin appear with Kang Jianfei, what does this mean?
The answer is already very obvious. The two will be the male and female protagonists of Kang Jianfei's new film.
Everyone thought Kang Jianfei would take advantage of the victory and continue to film the nonsensical comedy of Zhou Xingchi as the protagonist to earn box office. However, they thought that the male and female protagonists were Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin.
Although "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boy" have a very high box office in Hong Kong, Li Lianjie's fans in Hong Kong are far inferior to Zhang Guorong, and even Wu Mengda is not as good as Wu Mengda, because Li Lianjie has always been a mainlander.
Why didn’t Kang Jianfei’s new film’s male lead choose Zhou Runfa, Leslie Cheung, or Zhou Xingchi, but Li Lianjie from the mainland?
The reporter who has a quick mind has guessed that Kang Jianfei is about to make a kung fu movie.
The crew members of the "Wrong Marriage Road" who had just walked the red carpet, couldn't help but look back and see what was going on when they heard such a big formation behind.
The famous cartoonist Huang Yulang, who led the team, was nominated for the Best Actress for his first film when he entered the film industry. He was extremely happy, but unfortunately he did not receive cheers from fans when he walked the red carpet just now.
The director of "The Wrong Marriage" is a small character who has only made 5 movies. The male protagonist, Jeremy Cheng, is as fat as a pig, with few fans at all, and Deanie Ip is relatively popular.
Now that he saw Kang Jian flying on the red carpet, Huang Yulang was extremely envious. The flash was already flashing so quickly that he couldn't open his eyes.
Huang Yulang waited specifically at the entrance of the theater, waiting for Kang Jianfei and the other two to come over the red carpet, and took the initiative to come up to shake hands and say hello: "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Huang Yulang, the boss of Yulang Films."
"So it's Mr. Huang, I have been admired for a long time!" Kang Jianfei laughed.
Speaking of the movie "The Wrong Marriage" produced by Huang Yulang is good, but unfortunately Huang Yulang does not have his own theaters. This movie is only ranked in a few theaters in Jiahe, and was forced to be released after 8 days of release, but the box office can be 4.9 million. If it were Jiahe's own film, the movie would be fully promoted and the movie was scheduled according to the attendance rate, and the box office would be likely to exceed 10 million.
In any case, the success of this movie strengthened Huang Yulang's confidence and believed that it would be profitable to invest in filming. Although Kang Jianfei has been banned now, the directors, photographers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes talents of DreamWorks can cooperate, so Huang Yulang is extremely enthusiastic about Kang Jianfei.
Huang Yulang naturally didn't know that Kang Jianfei was about to make comics and rob him of his job. He smiled and walked in while chatting with Kang Jianfei. While talking about the movie, he also praised Kang Jianfei's novels for being well written.
Zheng Zeshi of "The Wrong Marriage" is not easy to face Kang Jianfei because he was one of the first to change jobs and leave DreamWorks. At this time, he followed Huang Yulang with his head down without saying a word.
It is normal to change jobs in the film industry, but when a company is in trouble, it always gives people a feeling of lack of humanity.
"Mr. Huang is going to have a big fight in the film industry?" Kang Jianfei asked casually.
Huang Yulang was in a state of pride and naturally felt that I could do anything. He pretended to be modest and said, "I'm just a small fight, not as big as Mr. Kang's dream factory's big business. I hope I can cooperate with Dream Factory more in the future."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "It's easy to say, but I'm actually going to do comics, and Mr. Huang will give me more advice at that time."
Huang Yulang thought Kang Jianfei was just joking, and said happily: "It must be. If Mr. Kang, you make a comic, I will definitely support you."
