Kang Jianfei was leaning on the sofa, reading this issue of "Movie Biweekly" in his hand. The magazine reviewed "Shaolin Temple" in great detail, compared the movie with Hong Kong kung fu movies, and praised it highly.
Li Lianjie’s martial arts skills.
But that was not what Kang Jianfei wanted to see. He continued to flip through more than ten pages before finally finding the founding declaration of the "First Hong Kong Film Awards".
The current "Movie Biweekly" was not bought by Kang Jianfei, but was sent to him along with the magazine and the invitation letter to the Academy Awards ceremony.
Zhao Yazhi came over with a bowl of chicken soup, sat down next to Kang Jianfei and said, "Drink the chicken soup while it's hot. It's specially cooked for you."
Kang Jianfei stirred the spoon, took a sip and praised: "My craftsmanship has improved. Why did you suddenly think of making soup for me?"
"I heard from Wen Bixia that you were vegetarian every day when you were filming in the Shaolin Temple." Zhao Yazhi reached out to touch Kang Jianfei's cheek and said distressedly, "You have been busy doing post-production since you came back, and you never missed a meal.
Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight."
Kang Jianfei touched his face and said amusedly: "It's not that exaggerated."
Zhao Ya ordered: "I don't care, you have to finish the soup anyway."
"Okay, I'll drink it," Kang Jianfei scooped up a spoonful of cold air, put it in front of Zhao Yazhi's mouth and said, "Sister Zhi, you drink some too."
Zhao Yazhi smiled and held a corner of the spoon in her mouth. After drinking, she leaned lazily next to Kang Jianfei, reached out to fiddle with the invitation on the coffee table, and suddenly asked: "A Fei, magazines can also organize film awards, not the government."
Will the unit do it?"
Kang Jianfei commented: "They are just a group of daring guys who are not satisfied with the review of the top ten Chinese-language films every year and want to have a film award of their own for fun."
Zhao Yazhi said: "I remember when we were in Taipei last time, you also said you wanted to get your own film award."
"Do you still remember? I almost forgot." Kang Jianfei chuckled.
Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It turns out that you sometimes talk big."
Kang Jianfei said: "If you compare the movie awards to a ball game, then we are the players. If I hold the movie awards directly, I will be both a player and a referee. Will other players be willing? "Film Fortnightly" will do it
Trailblazer is just what I want.”
Zhao Yazhi asked puzzledly: "What does it have to do with you if Film Fortnight holds the Academy Awards?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Can't I just grab it after they make it?"
Zhao Yazhi said coquettishly: "You are talking nonsense again, can you still win the film award?"
Kang Jianfei picked up the invitation, threw it into the trash can, and said, "I don't need to grab it, they will deliver it to the door themselves."
Zhao Yazhi looked at the award ceremony invitation in the trash can and said in surprise: "Aren't you going to attend?"
"Why should I go?" Kang Jianfei asked, and then added. "Not only will I not go, I estimate that at least half of the invitees will not attend, and maybe some of the winners will not show up. "Film Fortnightly"
"What do you think you are? Just organize a movie award and invite so many stars and producers with just one invitation?"
Speaking of which, the first Hong Kong Film Awards was really shabby. Not only were the trophies made temporarily and without any artistic sense, even the award settings were pitiful, with only Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Screenplay.
Five Best Actors and Actors.
After the first Hong Kong Film Awards was held, it basically couldn’t be held anymore. The second Hong Kong Film Awards was delayed for half a year, and it was only in July that a sponsor was found to hold it hastily. Moreover, the awards were presented in a series of situations, causing a lot of trouble.
Less jokes.
Kang Jianfei is planning to ignore the Hong Kong Film Awards for a year, and wait until next year to appear as a savior and win the TV broadcast rights of the Film Awards.
…
When the news came out that "Film Fortnightly" was going to hold the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Hong Kong public showed little interest in the matter, while the media and industry insiders mostly regarded it as a joke.
A movie magazine whose sales volume can only be said to be relatively good actually wants to create a competitive film award? It is simply ridiculous.
Even those celebrities and directors who have received invitations to the award ceremony are hesitant to attend, for fear that others will laugh at them if they attend.
The advertisement for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is still going on. Wu Mengda and Hui Tianci have appeared in the advertisement posters one after another, but there is still an indistinguishable silhouette in the middle.
Who will be the male protagonist of "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng"?
While many media were speculating and discussing, the newspaper "Oriental Daily", which was the first to publish the advertisement, couldn't hold it in anymore. It published an article saying that Kang Jianfei never showed them the full version of the poster. They didn't know who the leading actor was.
However, at the end of the article, I was wondering whether Kang Jianfei would be the leading actor this time.
The more mysterious Kang Jianfei made it, the more everyone wanted to speculate.
It wasn't until the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month that the male protagonist's answer was finally revealed.
…………
…………
Zou Wenhuai stared at the advertisement poster in the newspaper with his mouth open. In order to make Li Lianjie look more mature, Kang Jianfei even asked the makeup artist to rub his beard during the filming. But even with the beard, Zou Wenhuai could still recognize him at a glance.
, the male protagonist of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in the poster is Li Lianjie from "Shaolin Temple" which was a hit at the box office a few days ago.
Zou Wenhuai stared at the newspaper for a long time, and suddenly said to He Guanchang: "That bad guy Kang Jianfei, didn't he go to the mainland to film in the past two months?"
He Guanchang nodded and said: "It's very possible."
Zou Wenhuai asked in confusion: "Does Kang Jianfei want to completely abandon the Taiwan market and run to embrace the Communist Party?"
With Li Lianjie as the leading actor, there is no way this "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" will be released in Taiwan, and it may even implicate other Oriental DreamWorks films.
He Guanchang couldn't understand either. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. Maybe he has some secret agreement with the mainland government."
At this time, Hong Kong filmmakers, except for left-wing film companies, all avoided the mainland. It’s not that they hated the mainland, but they were afraid that they would be blocked by the Taiwan authorities if they got involved with the mainland.
For example, Xu Anhua's "To the Wrathful Sea". Although this movie is about Vietnam, the filming was done in the South Island of Hainan. Because of the fact that it went to the mainland for filming, although "To the Wrath of the Sea" set a new box office
A new record for Hong Kong art films, but most of the creative team only dared to use pseudonyms.
What's funny is that at the second Hong Kong Film Awards, "Journey to the Angry Sea" won awards one after another, but the winners did not dare to show up to accept the awards for fear of offending the Taiwanese authorities.
Only Kang Jianfei dared to do this, because he knew that Taiwan would lift the ban in four to five years at most. Even if Oriental DreamWorks was banned by Taiwan, it would only be a matter of four to five years. If it can bring it closer to the Communist Party
relationship, that’s not a bad thing.
Similar to the reactions of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, most people in the film industry and the media, when they learned that the leading actor in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was Li Lianjie, thought that Kang Jianfei had given up on the Taiwan market and switched to the mainland.
"Sing Tao Daily" even combined Kang Jianfei's remarks on the Hong Kong issue last year and believed that Kang Jianfei was already working for the Communist Party and was a thoroughly pro-communist left-wing filmmaker.
Then there was another gossip tabloid, saying that Kang Jianfei was actually a spy sent to Hong Kong by the Communist Party. Because Kang Jianfei had received various trainings since he was a child, he was not only good at making movies, but his kung fu was so good that he could kill two bandits in a few seconds.
Gun robber. This kind of bizarre report is very suitable for readers. The sales volume of this tabloid has increased significantly because of this. The content of its report has been quoted and reprinted one after another, and it has been accepted by many Hong Kong people.
When Kang Jianfei saw the overwhelming news in the newspaper, he suddenly felt that the situation was out of control. In his imagination, the person who was discussed the most was Li Lianjie. Why the hell did he fall into the wrong position?
"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" has not yet been officially released, but bad news has already come from Taiwan.
…
After Ma Qiao hung up the phone, he hurried to Kang Jianfei's office, knocked on the door twice, and pushed the door open without waiting for Kang Jianfei's consent.
As soon as he took half a step in, Ma Qiao was embarrassed by the situation inside. He could neither advance nor retreat, and froze on the spot.
Pan Yingzi stood up from Kang Jianfei's arms with a blush on her face, glanced at Ma Qiao guiltily, and then walked out as if nothing had happened.
Kang Jianfei was shameless. After Pan Yingzi left, he smiled and said to Ma Qiao: "Close the door. If you come in so quickly, is the sky falling outside?"
Ma Qiao also put away his other thoughts, closed the door and said, "Just now news came back from Taiwan, saying that "Little Life is Afraid" was stuck when it was submitted to the censorship office for review."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Why can't you pass the trial?"
"There is no reason, it just failed the review anyway," Ma Qiao said anxiously, "It should be the Taiwan authorities' response to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng"."
Kang Jianfei rubbed his eyebrows and said: "It's not a response to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", but because of the random reports in those newspapers. Damn it, they actually said that I was an agent sent by the mainland. It's strange that Taiwan didn't respond."
Ma Qiao asked: "Then what should we do now? Yu Kanping has already approached the Bamboo Union Gang, and the Bamboo Union Gang said that they can't help this time. Officials from the Taiwan Information Bureau and the Censorship Office were all very active when collecting money in the past.
Very, now everyone is hiding and not seeing anyone, and there is no way to communicate at all."
Kang Jianfei sighed, this was the worst situation he had expected, mainly because Hong Kong's public opinion was out of control.
If it weren't for those disgusting guys writing random articles, Taiwan would probably turn a blind eye. Just like Andy Lau, Lin Zixiang and others went to the mainland to film "The Wrath of the Sea", the Taiwan authorities did not do anything to them. Tony Leung Ka Fai
When he went to Beijing to film "Curtain Behind the Curtain", if he hadn't won the Best Actor Award for it, Taiwan would have just ignored it.
Looking at the anxious Ma Qiao, Kang Jianfei suddenly laughed and said: "Don't be so anxious. The worst we can do is give up on the Taiwan market for the time being. After the Chinese New Year, I will personally go to Taiwan to see if I can get them to relent." 8
