The strange surge in Hong Kong film production at the beginning of this year clearly smacks of false prosperity. That is to say, the Hong Kong film market is not strong enough, but the number of Hong Kong films has been stimulated too much by a few theaters. If this continues,
A large number of film companies will inevitably go bankrupt due to competition, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall quality of Hong Kong films until a certain theater chain loses money and closes down.
This is the inevitable process of self-regulation of the film market!
Kang Jianfei didn't want to be a superman to save Hong Kong movies, and he didn't have the ability to save it. The worst happened was that Hong Kong movies collapsed and he went to Hollywood. If it wasn't because he didn't understand English, wasn't used to the European and American lifestyle, and didn't like white women, Kang Jianfei would have been there long ago.
He went to the United States to make money.
What Kang Jianfei wants now is to increase the production of Oriental DreamWorks and set this year's shooting plan at around 12. The annual production of 15 movies is almost capped. If there are more, the theater chain will not be able to arrange them. Kang Jianfei can
I don’t want each of my company’s movies to be released for only a few days.
Now Yu Yantai has started filming "The Seven Ghost Chasers", starring Chen You, Zheng Zeshi, Lou Languang, Xu Guanying, Li Saifeng. And McDonald's is also directing "Into Love Street", starring Hui Tianci, Chen Huimin, Li Yanshan
Starring others.
In addition, "Seven Days of Love" is also in preparation. The director is Zhang Jianting, who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay last year.
Zhang Jianting used to be a screenwriter, but this time he gathered enough energy to become his own director, so he joined Oriental DreamWorks on the recommendation of Xu Anhua.
Of course Zeng Zhiwei was worried about letting a screenwriter be the director, but the script of "Seven Days of Love" was good, so he decided to accept the script and change the director. However, Zhang Jianting insisted on directing it himself this time, otherwise he would rather take the script back
Not for sale.
In desperation, Zeng Zhiwei had no choice but to hand over the script of "Seven Days of Love" to Tang Shuxuan.
Although Tang Shuxuan has been busy making movies on her own, her vision is very accurate. Who among Zhang Shuping, Wong Kar-wai and others who followed her earlier are not popular?
After inviting Zhang Jianting to test his basic directing skills, Tang Shuxuan immediately made the decision to let Zhang Jianting be the director of this drama, and he would choose the actors as he wished.
This is where Tang Shuxuan is better than Pan Yingzi. When the two women are in the same position, Tang Shuxuan has a more accurate vision and is easier to make decisions. If it were Pan Yingzi, she would either refuse Zhang Jianting or ask Kang Jianfei for instructions.
A young screenwriter would not be allowed to become a director.
Zhang Jianting was not polite and chose seven or eight actors in one breath, including Zhong Zhentao, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Li Yufeng, etc. Not only that, he actually played an important supporting role himself, and also invited the production manager Zeng Zhiwei to guest star.
In addition to the "God of Gamblers" that Kang Jianfei is preparing, Oriental DreamWorks will shoot four movies in the first year of 1983. Two crews will shoot at the same time, and the employees behind the scenes will not be able to stop. Of course, at the end of the year, the bonuses will be even greater.
In a parallel space, "Seven Days of Love", like "Happy Ghost", is a low-cost and high-box office movie, and it is Shao Yifu's successful attempt to gradually give up the big studio system.
Unfortunately, since DreamWorks signed Ann Hui first, Zhang Jianting naturally joined DreamWorks when filming, causing Shao Daheng to lose another good opportunity to be a box office hit.
Some are happy and some are sad. With all the publicity, the second Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony opened successfully.
Entering the Taiping Theater from Des Voeux Road West, there is a slightly sloping corridor in the middle. Under Kang Jianfei's instructions, this corridor has been widened a lot with money. It is now covered with a red carpet and has become a place where stars appear.
"Home Alone" ranked second on the North American box office list last year. After Kang Jianfei's information was gradually revealed, as a director, he became famous all over the world.
This time, the Hong Kong Film Awards was jointly sponsored by Kang Jianfei's TV station and "Film Fortnightly". With the organizer's deliberate publicity, it attracted many media reporters from Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and also made reporters from various countries
The invitation to the jury was much easier.
Unlike the second Academy Awards in parallel time and space, which could not find an organizer and was postponed until the summer, the momentum this time was far greater than before. Not to mention the fans who came to join in the fun, reporters from all walks of life closed the door of the Taiping Theater
The road ahead is blocked.
There is no way around it. Land is at a premium in the Western District of Hong Kong. Even if Kang Jianfei spent money to widen it, the space on the side facing the street is still very small. On the contrary, the environment at the back entrance of Taiping Theater is very good. There is a large open space with trees and flowers planted in the open space.
, just like a small garden.
Perhaps because Kang Jianfei is the boss of one of the organizers, none of Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun were present, and they were all sent by their subordinates.
On the contrary, Liao Yiyuan, the CEO of Yindu Agency, came happily, and with Mr. Liao was Xia Meng from Jade Bird Company, because for this year's Academy Awards, Jade Bird Company's "Journey to the Angry Sea" had the most nominations.
But it is a pity that since this movie was shot on Hainan Island, both the actors and the director used pseudonyms. After winning the award, no one would dare to go on stage to receive the award in person, lest they offend the Taiwan authorities and be blocked. Therefore, if "
If "Run to the Wrath" won several awards, Xia Meng would have to come on stage to accept them, and he would have to give his acceptance speech several times.
Among the major film companies, Shaw Brothers has the fewest people, even fewer people than Yindu Agency. The main reason is that few of Shaw Brothers' films have been nominated.
The brothers Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao are here and are now waving to the fans. Their films are mainly nominated for action design and best editing. And the Xu brothers, Ma Jia, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and others,
The chance of winning the prize is much greater, and now he is happily accepting interviews from reporters.
Celebrities and big names from all walks of life appeared one after another, causing fans and reporters to get excited again and again. Especially when the two guest performers, Xu Xiaofeng and Teresa Teng, arrived, many fans broke through the barriers and squeezed over there. The on-site security personnel were so tired that they were sweating profusely.
Only then could the scene be maintained.
The awards ceremony officially begins at 6 p.m. and lasts until 7:30 p.m. After the awards ceremony, the guests attending the award ceremony will move to the Peninsula Hotel, where the organizer will host an Academy Awards dinner.
The entire awards ceremony will be broadcast on Phoenix TV at 9:30, leaving only two and a half hours for the TV station staff to do post-processing.
At 5:30, the red carpet show of the Academy Awards finally started. The first ones to appear were Mecca and Zhang Aijia. The two played the role of husband and wife in "The Best Partner". When walking on the red carpet, one was bald and the other was a talented woman.
It is eye-catching, and the spotlight instantly makes people unable to open their eyes.
Pairs of celebrities stepped onto the red carpet, and screams rang out one after another. When Cheng Long appeared holding Xia Wenxi's hand, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly ushered in a climax.
In a parallel space, the actress that Jiahe is favoring this year should be Zhong Chuhong, but Zhong Chuhong has already signed a contract with DreamWorks. Judging from the appearance of Cheng Long leading Xia Wenxi, it is obvious that Jiahe is preparing to favor Xia Wenxi.
Who is Xia Wenxi?
Have you seen the TV series version of "New Dragon Gate Inn"? In it, the charming proprietress Jin Xiangyu is Xia Wenxi, and she is already past her youth. Xia Wenxi, who is now being held by Cheng Long on the red carpet, is not yet 20 years old
She is a pure and beautiful girl.
Next up on the red carpet were Liu Jialiang and Weng Jingjing. Different from the previous appearances of Cheng Long and Xia Wenxi, not only were the screams much quieter this time, there were even boos.
Was Kang Jianfei considered a beast when he slept with 15-year-old Wen Bixia?
Liu Jialiang and Weng Jingjing are even more amazing. They fell in love at first sight more than four years ago. At that time, Liu Jialiang was already 44 years old and had a wife (with three daughters and one son), while Weng Jingjing was only 14 years old.
, she’s just a pink little lolita.
The two have been dating silently for several years. Not long ago, tabloids began to spread rumors about the two. Although not many people believed it, how can they not be criticized if they are now blatantly walking the red carpet together?
In a parallel space, that is, two years later, 50-year-old Liu Jialiang left all his family property to his ex-wife, and after the divorce, he married Weng Jingjing, who had just turned 20, causing an uproar in Hong Kong public opinion.
Don't think that Weng Jingjing is a vain woman. She comes from a wealthy family and is also a well-known movie star herself. Moreover, after marrying Liu Jialiang, she did not rely on Liu Jialiang's influence to make movies, but quit the entertainment industry.
I went to school and later became an insurance agent and a lawyer. I excelled in everything.
The combination of these two people can only be said to be irrational love. Otherwise, why would a 20-year-old beauty marry a 50-year-old old man who is not handsome and not for wealth or profit? And
Before marrying this old man, she had been his mistress for several years since she was a teenager.
Celebrities from major companies entered the venue one after another on the red carpet. The appearance of Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong brought a sensation that was not inferior to that of Cheng Long.
Lin Qingxia is absent today. She and Zhen Zidan were invited by Songzhu Pictures and went to Japan to shoot a film but have not returned yet.
Kang Jianfei was arranged to appear very late. What is surprising is that he actually walked the red carpet with two women on his arms, one on the left and one on the right. Moreover, neither of these two women are Hong Kong actresses.
The reporters from Taiwan who were present were extremely excited because the two actresses who appeared with Kang Jianfei were Lin Fengjiao, who is as famous as Lin Qingxia, and Lu Xiuling, Lin Qingxia's successor.
Why did two top Taiwanese actresses suddenly appear with Kang Jianfei at the same time?
The reporters were all thinking wildly for a while.
In fact, the answer is very simple. Lin Fengjiao has reached a bottleneck in Taiwan. He was invited by Kang Jianfei to play the role of the gambling god's girlfriend, and he agreed without much thought.
Kang Jianfei took Lin Fengjiao on the red carpet, which was also a warm-up for her development in Hong Kong.
As for Lu Xiuling, she is purely an addition to Lin Fengjiao's arrival in Hong Kong.
After Lin Qingxia faded out of Taiwan's film and television industry, Qiong Yao has been looking for an actress who can replace Lin Qingxia, and she finally chose Lu Xiuling. Lu Xiuling has lived up to expectations and is now as famous in Taiwan as Hu Huizhong.
However, not long ago, Qiong Yao's Superstar company collapsed. Lu Xiuling felt that there was no future in Taiwan, and decided to go to Hong Kong for development. After Qiong Yao learned that Lin Fengjiao went north to Hong Kong, she took the initiative to call Kang Jianfei and recommend Lu Xiuling, and then the two women started working together
Signed with Oriental Entertainment Company.
To be honest, Kang Jianfei is not optimistic about Lu Xiuling's development in Hong Kong because this woman is too artistic. However, he knows that Lu Xiuling will become popular in the mainland in the next few years, and she is also very accomplished in music, so he can cultivate her first
, and will be sent to the mainland for development in two years. (To be continued.)rt
