Lin Qingxia rummaged through the box to find a set of sportswear and put it on, humming to the tune of "Tomorrow Will Be Better", and said to Kang Jianfei: "Fei, can you drive me to the New Territories later?"
"I have something else to do today," Kang Jianfei looked at Lin Qingxia's strange dress and asked, "What are you doing in the New Territories?"
Lin Qingxia tied the laces of her sneakers and said, "There is a horse farm over there, and Michelle asked me to go horse riding."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Who is Michelle?"
"That's Miss Yang, her English name is Michelle." Lin Qingxia stood up and moved her body and said, "I haven't gone out for a long time. I heard that Michelle's riding skills are very good, so I can learn to ride with her.
.”
"You guys are quick. We became friends within an hour of knowing each other." Kang Jianfei thought that Michelle Yang couldn't speak Chinese. If she asked Lin Qingxia to go horse riding, Pan Desheng would definitely be there. He couldn't afford to stay with two beauties at the same time.
It is already January 20, 1984, and in a few days it will be the Stove Festival. Ordinary companies and celebrities will have a holiday, but Kang Jianfei's company is even busier. DreamWorks is also working with New Era Cinema to promote and release "
"Terminator", Fengxing Records is busy releasing a New Year album for Leslie Cheung, and the TV station is also producing a New Year special program.
Fortunately, Kang Jianfei can be the boss, and someone will take care of these things. He had originally made an appointment with Shu Qi today to discuss the matter of this year's Academy Awards, but since Lin Qingxia was going to ride a horse, he might as well just
I put aside my business and went to have fun with Dame Lin.
This year's Academy Awards have once again made some reforms, the biggest of which is to recruit a small number of Hong Kong independent filmmakers as judges, and to invite the most famous law firm in Hong Kong to participate in the notarization process to ensure the openness and fairness of the award voting.
At the same time, the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee announced that if a judge is found to have committed fraud, his or her qualification as a judge for the Hong Kong Film Awards will be permanently revoked.
The final reform is that the selection rules for the "Best Picture" award of the Academy Awards will be changed to all judges nominating the 10 films they think are the best. The film with the highest vote rate and more than 50% will be selected as the best film.
.If there is no movie that gets more than 50% of the votes, then some movies with lower votes will be removed, and a second round of voting will be conducted until more than one movie gets more than 50% of the votes.
The above selection method was only used by the Academy Awards after 2010. It is because of the increase in nominated films and the lobbying system that the selection of the Oscar's Best Picture has become a big problem.
The social atmosphere and environment are different. Kang Jianfei will not be stupid enough to copy the Oscar system. In fact, he and Shu Qi discussed the selection system, which is a combination of the Oscars and the Academy Awards, and also draws lessons from international film festivals such as Cannes.
The advantages.
To put it more directly, we should take the essence and discard the dross, and copy whatever is useful.
Kang Jianfei changed into casual clothes and drove Lin Qingxia to a horse riding stable in the New Territories.
As expected, it was not Kang Jianfei's fault. Yang Ziqiong arrived at the racecourse with Pan Disheng, and the two of them chattered some bird language that Kang Jianfei could not quite understand.
Kang Jianfei is a very shady guy. He often travels abroad for business in the past few years, so it is impossible that he does not learn foreign languages at all. Through occasional study and contact with foreigners, Kang Jianfei can still understand some simple daily expressions, but every time
Every time I pretended to be stupid and asked someone to translate.
For example, at the celebration banquet, Pan Disheng deliberately omitted key content when translating. Kang Jianfei heard it clearly, but he kept pretending not to know anything.
"Hahaha, Mr. Pan, we meet again!" Kang Jianfei shook hands with Pan Desheng with a smile, and praised Ziqiong, "Miss Yang is really a woman in this knight uniform. Just like Qingxia
I don’t want to make another "Royal Senior Sister". If Miss Yang is willing, I will make a "Royal Senior Sister 3" for you in the second half of the year."
After hearing that Kang Jianfei invited Michelle Yeoh to film "The Royal Sisters 3", Lin Qingxia finally understood why Kang Jianfei was so interested in Michelle Yeoh. Because Lin Qingxia knew Kang Jianfei too well. As long as she liked an actor, she would hire her at all costs.
When she came to make a movie, wasn't that how she was dragged aboard the "thief ship" by Kang Jianfei?
Pan Disheng became more and more depressed. He had a good impression of Kang Jianfei before, and because he had to promote his brands. Pan Disheng cooperated with Phoenix TV and Oriental Entertainment Company, and the relationship between them was still very harmonious.
But stealing someone's girlfriend is like killing their parents. Pan Disheng, a very capable playboy, rarely really likes a girl and plans to recruit her into his film company to slowly develop a relationship. How can he tolerate Kang Jianfei's repeated love?
Three poaching?
"Mr. Kang, Michelle has agreed to join my film company." Pan Desheng lied in front of Michelle Yeoh, who couldn't understand Chinese anyway.
"Your film company?" Kang Jianfei said with some surprise. The surprised expression on his face was not entirely fake. After all, Pan Disheng's Debao was in another time and space, in the mid-to-late 1980s with Jiahe and Xinyi
The city stands on three pillars.
Is Pan Desheng’s Debao Film Company about to open?
Pan Disheng is not afraid of exposing any business secrets. Firstly, his movie has already been negotiated to be screened in Jiahe Cinema. Secondly, he does not think that the film company he is about to open will arouse Kang Jianfei's vigilance and suppression, so he said very straightforwardly:
"Mr. Hong Jinbaohong and I are planning to set up a film company and it will be officially registered after the Lunar New Year."
"Oh, that's it. Mr. Pan has sufficient funds, and with the help of film talents like Mr. Hong, he will definitely be able to show off his talents in the Hong Kong film industry." Kang Jianfei said with a hidden smile, and became more determined to snatch Michelle Yeoh away.
.The reason why Debao in ordinary time and space can develop and grow, in addition to Pan Disheng's money and Hong Jinbao's talent in the early stage, another very important factor is the golden signboard of Michelle Yeoh.
Hong Kong's film market is only that big. The addition of another powerful film company means that Kang Jianfei's company will be robbed of a piece of its box office. Naturally, we should suppress it as much as we can to nip it in the bud.
Pan Disheng currently has no plans to make a name for himself in the film industry. He just smiled and said: "I don't know anything about making movies. I will ask Mr. Kang for more advice in the future."
"Wherever, with Mr. Hong here, Mr. Pan's movie will definitely be a big hit." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
The two guys chatted here and there and finally ignored the topic of Kang Jianfei inviting Michelle Yeoh to film "Royal Sisters 3". Pan Disheng enthusiastically took Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia to choose the horse.
When the staff came out with the horses chosen by the two, Michelle Yeoh was already galloping in the racecourse. Her heroic appearance made Lin Qingxia envious.
But envy is envy. Lin Qingxia even needed Kang Jianfei's help to get on the horse, and then she rode the horse for a leisurely stroll under the guidance of the staff.
Kang Jianfei's level was such that he would not fall off his horse. Occasionally he could even trot by himself, but once the speed increased, he could no longer control it.
Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong also rode over and taught Kang Jianfei and Kang Jianfei the secrets of horseback riding.
"Drive, drive!"
Lin Qingxia was having a good time. Suddenly, a horse ran quickly not far from the four people. The rider on the horse was also a girl.
"Slow down, slow down!" Another horse followed behind, and the man on the horse shouted worriedly to the front.
When the man behind him rode his horse to Kang Jianfei's side, he suddenly reined in and stopped, and said in surprise: "Mr. Kang and Miss Lin, you are here too."
This man looked to be in his forties, with some gray hair on his temples. Kang Jianfei didn't recognize him for a long time, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, who are you..."
The man got off his horse, walked over, shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Ye Zhiming."
"It turns out to be Mr. Ye. I've admired him for a long time!" Kang Jianfei heard the name and immediately realized who the person in front of him was, because they were still peers, but they had few opportunities to meet.
Ye Zhiming is the brother of future porn star Ye Yuqing. This person is also famous in Hong Kong. His life of ups and downs can be called a legend.
More than ten years ago, Ye Zhiming started his business with NT$40,000 and established a billion-dollar "Binbin" jeans empire. Then he founded Binbin Film Company, with the original intention of making movies to promote the jeans brand, just like Pan Desheng.
.
As the saying goes, the unintentional will make the willow fall. Yip Chi-ming's Binbin Film Company actually achieved consecutive successes, with multiple films ranking among the top ten in Hong Kong's annual box office list, and is also known as the base camp of Hong Kong's new wave of films.
However, the development of Binbin Film Company later encountered a bottleneck, because it did not have its own theater chain company, and the release of the film depended on other people's opinions. It was impossible to schedule it in the prime time period.
This is the same as Pan Disheng's later Debao. The first few movies were hits, but after it developed and expanded, it was tabooed by Zou Wenhuai. Many consecutive movies could only be screened in the off-season.
Pan Disheng was not short of funds, so he spent more than 100 million to develop cinema chains in a rage, and finally established his own Debao cinema chain by purchasing and leasing.
Ye Zhiming was not short of money. After the development of Binbin Film Company was hindered, he also spent money to establish his own theater chain.
It's a pity that Ye Zhiming made a mistake. He actually found cooperation with left-wing theaters and wanted to form a theater chain with left-wing film forces. It was like an old birthday star hanging himself because he thought he would live too long.
As you can imagine, not only did Binbin Film Company collapse because it was banned from showing in Taiwan, but even his Binbin jeans suffered a huge loss because they lost the Taiwanese market.
When the house leaked and it rained all night, and his career continued to fail, Ye Zhiming set his sights on the prosperous Hong Kong real estate market. As a result, in the first half of the year, he raised tens of millions of dollars to build a resort. In the second half of the year, the Hong Kong real estate market crashed, and the house was left there half-finished.
Moved, these more than 10 million were invested in an unfinished resort, which was sold by Ye Zhiming for 670,000 a few years later...
Nowadays, Ye Zhiming is at a low point in his life. He used to win and lose a few million playing Pai Gow, but now it is difficult for him to win even a few million.
Binbin Film Company was sold to Qiu Degen's Far East Group the year before last, and was renamed Yunying Production Company and managed by Qiu Degen's son. The second film directed by Li Xiuxian was invested by Yunying Production Company. However, Qiu Gongzi
A few months ago, after having sex with his girlfriend, he drove drunk and killed a law enforcement officer. Now he is still picking up soap in jail, and Yunying Production Company has also stopped production.
Ye Zhiming did not give up yet. After Yingying Production Company ceased production, he raised funds to make a movie in the name of Binbin Film Company. After it was released, it was a huge success.
It has to be said that people who have experienced strong winds and waves are different. Now, Ye Zhiming is carrying a lot of debt, but he is still in the mood to go horse riding with his sister.
"It's rare that Mr. Kang has ever heard of someone like me. I'm really honored." Ye Zhiming is a very optimistic person and is still laughing at himself.
Kang Jianfei still admired such people, not to mention that Ye Zhiming's later Feitu Records was also famous, and there might be opportunities for cooperation one day. He gave Ye Zhiming a free hat and said: "There are people in the film industry
One way to say it is, Mr. Ye, you single-handedly supported the new wave of Hong Kong movies, and those of us who make movies have benefited a lot."
Kang Jianfei's words are not completely flattering. In the first few years of the new wave of Hong Kong films, nearly half of the high-quality new/wave films were invested by Yip Chi Ming's Binbin Film Company. Without Yip Chi Ming as a big financial backer, those cutting-edge films
No matter how talented the director is, he can't turn his ideas into movies.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" The horse that just ran over ran back, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Ye Yuqing reined in the horse and said with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian ()
