The American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards have just come to an end, and the Oscar Awards Ceremony will soon be announced. At this time, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars are right next to each other, and they will be held later than more than 20 years later.
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to send films to participate in this year's Golden Globe Awards and Oscars. However, 20th Century Fox, as the agent distributor, in order to increase the global reputation of "Home Alone", took the initiative to help Kang Jianfei send films and paid a small fee.
Part of the lobbying money.
20th Century Fox's efforts paid off. "Home Alone" successfully received Golden Globe nominations for Best Score and Best Song, as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Score.
To be honest, Kang Jianfei doesn't remember much about the original soundtrack. He just asked Lu Guanting to help fill in the details based on the general melody. Compared with the original soundtrack, Kang Jianfei himself can't tell which version is better.
Because the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was during the Spring Festival, Kang Jianfei had no plans to leave for the United States, so he asked Tang Shuxuan, who was still in the United States, to attend the ceremony on his behalf.
As expected, both nominations for the Golden Globe Awards were aborted, and Kang Jianfei did not win a single award.
But even so, for a Hong Kong director, being nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe at the same time is enough to become a good news. After the news spread back to Hong Kong, it also boosted the box office of "Home Alone" to a certain extent.
Let’s not mention the film awards in the United States for the time being. The nominations for the second Hong Kong Film Awards will also begin to be announced after the New Year. They will be selected from films released in Hong Kong from January to December last year, and must be from 6 projects.
Only movies with Hong Kong staff are eligible.
This time the Hong Kong Film Awards has changed a lot from the first one last year. It is no longer a small show for "Film Fortnightly" to entertain itself. In the absence of a professional film group, Shu Qi followed the example of the United States.
For the Golden Globe Awards, a large jury with 258 journalists/film critics was organized. In order to be as fair and equitable as possible, these jury members are not only Hong Kong people, but also some from Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia and
South Korea.
Not only that, the second Hong Kong Film Awards also invited Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, Taiwanese director Li Xing and Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang as special guests. Xu Xiaofeng, Teresa Teng, and Anita Mui were invited as guest performers, and the host was directly "
The original cast members of "60 Minutes Happy", Zheng Zeshi, Zhang Mary, Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun, also invited Pan Yuesheng, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", as the vice chairman of the jury, responsible for supervising the fairness of the selection process. The editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly"
Shu Qi serves as the chairman of the jury and leads the professional review process.
There has also been a big breakthrough in the awards of the Academy Awards. On the basis of the original ones, they have been added to the following categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, Best Music, and Best Actor.
There are 14 awards for original song, best editing, best sound effects, best visual effects and best action design.
The trophy has also been redesigned to create a statue of the goddess holding a pearl in her hand and wrapped in film according to the body proportions of Phoenix TV star Zheng Wenya.
The Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to be held at Taiping Theater on March 15, and the awards ceremony will be broadcast on Phoenix TV that night. Also participating are Radio Television Hong Kong and "Oriental Daily", these two units are assisting Phoenix TV in organizing
Ceremony.
The Spring Festival has not yet passed, and major media in Hong Kong have begun to promote the Hong Kong Academy Awards. In order to create this year's Academy Awards, Kang Jianfei spent 5 million in one go to fund the event. It is almost impossible to get back these 5 million, because
Today's Academy Awards have too little influence. As the organizer, Phoenix Television can only get a tiny bit of advertising fees.

Before the Academy Awards ceremony was held, Kang Jianfei received a piece of news that was both unexpected and dumbfounding.
In the 1983 Spring Festival Gala held by Mainland China Central Station, Kang Jianfei asked Deng Yimin to choose two young singers who had decent singing skills and could speak Mandarin to participate, and he personally wrote four songs for them. In order to avoid suspicion, the lyrics of these four New Year songs
The composer, Kang Jianfei, goes by the pen name "Long Aotian".
The two young singers are named Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei. The average age of a boy and a girl is 26. At this age and with very ordinary looks, it is basically impossible for them to become famous in Hong Kong.
As a result, Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei went to the Spring Festival Gala to sing and became famous all over China overnight. The four songs "Good Luck Comes", "Happy New Year", "Great China" and "Happy Encounter" became popular among everyone in the country.
The divine song sung.
Kang Jianfei originally wanted Deng Yimin to go north and cooperate with the China Record Company (later China Record Corporation), which was established in the mainland at the end of last year, to produce a "Happy New Year" album.
Who would have known that Deng Yimin had just taken a plane to Beijing and discovered that these four songs and other songs from the Spring Festival Gala had been recorded into albums that were sold in the streets, and the publishing unit of this album was China Record Company.
Deng Yimin had no choice but to go to the China Record Society to negotiate. As a result, the China Record Society said that they had obtained the copyright from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team. When Deng Yimin went to find the Spring Festival Gala program team again, this temporary organization had long been disbanded and no one was willing to do so.
Come out and take charge.
Depressed, Deng Yimin complained loudly to the comrades accompanying him from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, and the people from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office could only report the situation to their superiors.
After all, Deng Yimin is a compatriot from Hong Kong. The behavior of the Chinese record company was quickly criticized by his superiors, and then the matter was "satisfactorily resolved."
…
"You said the China Record Company gave you 500 yuan in royalties?" Kang Jianfei looked at Deng Yimin speechlessly, as if he had heard a fantasy.
"500 yuan is quite a lot. I was given a high price because I am a Hong Kong compatriot. I heard that mainland music creators can write a song for only twenty or thirty yuan." Deng Yimin said with a wry smile. He only stayed in Beijing.
If he comes back in a few days, he will feel like a fool if he stays there any longer.
Kang Jianfei was so angry that he laughed and couldn't twist his arm. In this kind of thing, he could only suffer the consequences of being dumb. If he really spared no effort to make trouble with the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, maybe some central leaders would severely criticize China because of this special period of Sino-British negotiations.
The record company's piracy behavior, and then made up for Kang Jianfei's losses.
However, due to the stalemate with the Chinese record company for a few songs, this behavior outweighs the gains and losses, and the personal relationships involved are too complicated.
Deng Yimin threw out a pamphlet and said: "This is the "Interim Regulations on the Administration of Audio and Video Products" promulgated by the mainland just over a month ago. Article 6 of it is about protecting the copyright of creators. I guess many people in the mainland have no idea.
After reading this regulation carefully, I don’t know what copyright protection is at all.”
Kang Jianfei opened the brochure and read it with interest. Article 6 read: Audio and video product publishing units should protect the reasonable rights and interests of authors and performers. The remuneration standards and payment methods for audio and video products of cultural and artistic programs shall be determined by the Ministry of Radio and Television in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture
Jointly formulated by the Ministry of Education... The publishing unit of audio and video products shall have the right to publish the recorded audio and video materials according to the agreement with the author and performer. Without the authorization of the original publishing unit of audio and video products, no other unit shall reproduce or copy them, or delete or re-publish them without authorization.
.For programs that authors and performers have authorized to a certain audio-visual product publishing unit, other audio-visual product publishing units shall not use increased remuneration, repeated remuneration or other improper means to record and publish them. Violators may be reported to the original audio-visual product publishing unit.
Complaint by judicial authorities.
"Haha, the regulations are quite detailed, but it's just a piece of waste paper." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but laugh after reading it. Nowadays, mainland record companies are all state-owned. Even if they infringe the copyright of the creator, who is the creator?
Dare you file a lawsuit? Once you file a lawsuit, it will be considered a civil lawsuit against an official, and the court will probably not accept it at all.
Deng Yimin sat down and took a sip of water and said: "Boss, I asked officials from the Ministry of Culture and found out that there is zero chance of opening a record company with the mainland. Records are special commodities, and the mainland has not opened up about this at all.
You can choose to cooperate with mainland state-owned record companies to produce and distribute records."
Kang Jianfei nodded. He asked Deng Yimin to go north this time just to test the waters. The mainland has very strict management of cultural products. Kang Jian flew to CCTV to sell "Heroes Fearless" and took advantage of the loopholes. It happened to be within the relevant regulations.
Sold before release.
Now, if Kang Jianfei wants to sell TV series to CCTV, he still needs to report to the Ministry of Radio and Television for approval, and then ask the General Administration of Customs to issue a notice.
And if Kang Jianfei wants to release records in the mainland, he must cooperate with an audio-visual publishing unit in the mainland. If the cooperative unit is the China Record Company, it must also be approved by the competent authority of the ministry and commission, and then be notified by the Ministry of Radio and Television and the General Administration of Customs.
Anyway, in recent years, the mainland's film and music market has been difficult to operate, and Kang Jianfei doesn't want to waste his brains and work hard to manage it.
"Let's do this. Favors come to the end." Although Kang Jianfei doesn't want to deliberately open up the mainland music market, it would be good to have good relations with his colleagues in the mainland. "Didn't Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei have an affair on the Spring Festival Gala? Anyway, they are in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
They don’t have much future, so you can lend them to Chinese record companies.”
Deng Yimin didn't care. He actually didn't have much hope for the mainland market, and he didn't believe that poor mainland people would have much spending power.
Kang Jianfei left Fengxing Records and drove to Repulse Bay Villa No. 4. Hu Juncai and Ye Zishan were about to fly back to the mainland, and Kang Jianfei came to see them off.
The two of them took a plane at three in the afternoon. When Kang Jianfei arrived at the villa, Hu Juncai and Ye Zishan had just finished eating and were packing their things. There were only a few large bags of various souvenirs and gifts.
When Kang Jianfei saw Ye Zishan, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he asked, "Zishan, does anyone in your family work in a record company?"
Ye Zishan nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin used to be in a song and dance troupe. After getting married, she joined the Guangzhou Record Factory."
"Do you remember your cousin's phone number?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Ye Zishan didn't ask Kang Jianfei what he wanted to do, so she just took out a pen and wrote a phone number.
Kang Jianfei immediately dialed Deng Yimin's phone and said: "Don't lend Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei to China Record Company. I have a phone number here. It is the contact information of Miss Ye of Guangzhou Record Company. Talk to Miss Ye about cooperation."
.”
Kang Jianfei didn't know that Guangzhou Record Factory would become a branch of China Record Company in July this year. He only knew that he could cooperate with Guangzhou Record Factory. With the connections of the Ye family, he would never be afraid of anyone. (To be completed.
