Perhaps it was because of the smooth and happy family and career that the Zou family daughter had become much fatter than when she first returned to Hong Kong. She looked very similar to her father Zou Wenhuai, and her face was carved from the same mold.
This woman doesn't like to dress up. She is just in her early 30s and is dressed as rustic as an aunt in her 50s. But she has the aura of a strong woman, especially after working in the Jiahe decision-making level for a few years, this momentum becomes more obvious.
By the way, the producer of Cheng Long's popular "Red Fan District" was personally performed by Zou Chongyan.
"Mr. Kang, let's go straight to the point," Zou Chongyan's style of conduct became stronger and stronger. After meeting, he only exchanged a few greetings and began to talk about the main topic, "I have done the work of Mr. Shao and Mr. Huo, and they promised to support the holding of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition."
"What is the attitude of the Trade Development Council?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Zou Chongyan smiled and said, "President Shi just took office last month, and the new official took office for three reasons. Naturally, he wanted to make some political achievements, and he was also supportive."
Kang Jianfei spread his hands: "The President of the Trade Development Bureau supports it, so what else is there to be difficulties?"
Zou Chongyan explained: "There are too many large-scale exhibitions hosted by the Trade Development Council, including international jewelry exhibitions, watch exhibitions, toy exhibitions, stationery exhibitions, sports goods exhibitions... opportunities are on display every month. The Trade Development Council's Exhibition Affairs Department, International Promotion Department, Communication Department and Publications Department are very busy. Once the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition is determined to hold, it will add a huge amount of work to these departments."
Kang Jianfei nodded: "What about?"
"You know, Hong Kong is coming back next year. The British are busy making money and preparing to leave. Even Chinese civil servants are lazy. Many department workers are on the verge of trouble," Zou Chongyan sighed. "This kind of creative activity is difficult to be approved. Everyone just wants to maintain the status quo. To put it bluntly, the British are deliberately negligent and want to hand over a mess to the Communist Party C next year."
Of course, Kang Jianfei knew about this situation. More than a dozen Hong Kong film industry groups and all well-known Hong Kong stars jointly wrote a letter asking the Hong Kong and British government to establish a Film Development Bureau. This move is not only of great benefit to the development of Hong Kong films, but also helps to enhance Hong Kong's economy and influence. However, everyone has been yelling for several years but has not received any response from the authorities. Even Kang Jianfei, the richest man, has no choice but to speak out.
Establishing the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition is easier than establishing the Hong Kong Film Development Council, but if several British directors of the Trade Development Council reject it, it will be difficult to pass.
"Tell me what you think." Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry and slowly drank black tea with a smile.
Zou Chongyan said: "We must start from two aspects. First, spend money to bribe several British directors and feed them; second, lobby more Chinese directors to support them and put pressure on the British. I have convinced Shao and Huo, Mr. Kang, probably has a better way than me."
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "I am 100% sure of the Zheng family, and I can also try the Dong family."
"Very good. Mr. Shao promised to convince Li Chaoren. The Guo family should also sell his face," Zou Chongyan smiled. "If all of them can be successful, we will have eight votes of support among the 19 directors of the Trade Development Council. With the support of President Shi, even if the British directors oppose it, this matter should be sure."
"Operation separate." Kang Jianfei put down his teacup.
...
Red Leaf Club.
Kang Jianfei and Zheng Jiachun chatted about mainland real estate. Amidst laughter, he expressed his intention: "Brother Zheng, I have something to bother you."
After Kang Jianfei explained the general situation, Zheng Jiachun smiled and said, "This is simple, isn't it just a vote for support? Just say hello."
"Brother Zheng, this is a mutually beneficial thing." Kang Jianfei said.
"How to say it?" Zheng Jiachun said in a daze. Their Zheng family does not make movies or TV series.
Kang Jianfei said: "I heard that New World has a coastal garden and a coastal corridor in Tsim Sha Tsui."
New World Development Company is the Zheng family's enterprise. Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Kang Jianfei stretched out his index finger and dipped it in a tea cup, and drew a map on the table with tea: "This is Tsim Sha Tsui, next to it is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. Once he decides to establish the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, the exhibition will inevitably be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center."
After watching it for a long time, Zheng Jiachun still couldn't think of any connection between the two. The film and television exhibition only brought some passenger flow to the Binhai Garden and the Binhai Promenade.
"Have Brother Zheng heard of Hollywood Walk of Fame?" Kang Jianfei asked again.
Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, "Of course I know, so famous."
Kang Jianfei's fingers passed through the map: "Renovate the Tsim Sha Tsui Coastal Corridor and turn it into Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars. Here, a sculpture of Bruce Lee is built, and then ask Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa to post the superstars, all of whom are covered with their handprints and leave their signatures."
Zheng Jiachun widened his mouth, and he already understood what Kang Jianfei meant.
With the holding of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, countless insiders and outsiders visit each year. If a Hong Kong Avenue of Stars is built in the exhibition center, it will definitely become one of the landmark buildings in Hong Kong, and its influence and passenger flow will increase greatly.
The most commendable thing is that this idea does not cost much at all. Because the Zheng family was originally operating the land, erecting a few statues and embedding a few terrazzo, the renovation cost is completely negligible.
After Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars became famous, it is estimated that many first- and second-tier celebrities will find ways to leave their marks here. The Zheng family has gained benefits and face, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.
"Haha, genius creativity," Zheng Jiachun clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother Kang, sometimes I really want to split your head and see how it grows inside."
The Zheng family supports the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, which is just a matter of verbal verbalism. Kang Jianfei now gives them advice, not only does not need to ask for help from the Zheng family, but the Zheng family owes Kang Jianfei a favor.
As for the Dong family, Ye Laosan invited the Dong family out for a meal. Even if the matter was decided, the Dong family firmly supported it.
The proposal to establish the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition was quickly passed. However, the next thing was even more troublesome, that is, to divide the cake.
For example, the dispute over the right to host and co-organize the exhibition, the dispute over the right to broadcast the awards ceremony, these are still the most basic. To refine the specific situation, there are the choices of exhibition movies and TV series, which companies' works account for the majority, which companies' works are preferred, etc., and countless details need to be clarified.
