Kang Jianfei clapped his hands expressionlessly. When Li Yujuan on the stage finished her acceptance speech, he clapped his hands again, and then waited for the two presenting guests to announce the Best Actor winner.
In the two or three years since he traveled back in time, Kang Jianfei was still looking forward to the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards, but now he has become numb. Even if he were awarded ten Academy Awards trophies at once, Kang Jianfei would not be excited at all.
To put it another way, Kang Jianfei has now reached another level. He always feels that the pool in Hong Kong is too small, and he is always thinking about rushing out.
The popularity of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in North America is an unexpected surprise for Kang Jianfei. His plan is still to enter the European market where he can better start.
The post-production of "Fang Fang" has not yet been completed, and it will be sent to Cannes in another month. The second part of Xu Ke's "Shu Mountain" has also been shot in the mainland. In addition to the previous part's He Jiajin and Li Saifeng,
, Wang Zuxian, who has made several ghost movies, also joined the cast and played the second female lead in "Shushan 2". As for the villain this time, Xu Jinjiang, a bald man, plays the role.
Another good news is that Taiwan's policy towards the mainland has been relaxed last year. Although the martial law has not been officially lifted, the Taiwan authorities passed a proposal for veterans to return home six months ago. Now the two sides are secretly negotiating related matters.
I believe that Taiwanese veterans will be able to return to the mainland in a few months.
Under this premise, the Taiwan Information Bureau seems to have room for maneuver in the ban on DreamWorks. Kang Jianfei sent Yu Kanping to check the news last week. However, the news returned yesterday was ambiguous, and it seemed that the ban could be lifted.
The order seems to be unable to be lifted for the time being.
Kang Jianfei thought about it and finally guessed what the situation was at the Taiwan Information Bureau - that is, even the people in the Taiwan Information Bureau did not understand the situation, and could only wait for the exact policy to come out before he dared to make a conclusion. Otherwise, it would be easy to make political mistakes.
.
The newly minted Best Actress Li Yujuan came off the stage with the trophy, her face full of smiles. Not far behind Kang Jianfei's seat, the smile on Liu Xiaoqing's face was very forced, and it looked like he was pretending.
This time, Liu Xiaoqing was nominated for Best Actress in "Tongzhi Zhongxing". Li Hanxiang told her that she had a great chance of winning the award. Liu Xiaoqing eagerly tried to get a visa to come to Hong Kong, but she never expected that her trip would be in vain.
In fact, Liu Xiaoqing and Li Yujuan, who just won the award, are gay. One is an actor from the Mainland and the other is a left-wing actor from Hong Kong. At first glance, the movie "American Heart" seems to be a Hong Kong petty bourgeoisie movie that worships beauty, but at the end of the movie, it reveals its true identity.
The nature of a left-wing film. A series of subtitles are all acknowledging the units in Shenzhen/Zhen for assisting in the filming.
Liu Xiaoqing's eyes moved to the left and looked at Kang Jianfei's back, thinking about how to seduce him tonight. Since the last friendly match, Kang Jianfei ignored her, which made Liu Xiaoqing, who was thinking about the development of Hong Kong, very discouraged.
"Okay. Congratulations to Ms. Li Yujuan for winning the Best Actress Award." Wang Xiaofeng, the Best Actress Award winner at the last Academy Awards, said, "What will be awarded next is the Best Actor Award at this Academy Awards."
Zheng Zeshi answered: "Let's take a look at the Best Actor nominations first..."
On the big screen behind the stage, a short film edited by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee began to play.
The first thing that appeared on the big screen was a scene of police and robbers chasing each other, and at the same time, the voice-over sounded: "The nominee for Best Actor is Lee Soo-hyun, from "Brothers"..."
After enjoying the short clip of "Brothers", it was followed by Liang Chaowei's "Underground Love", Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate", Zhou Runfa's "Autumn Fairy Tale", and... Kang Jianfei's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
Kang Jianfei is very aware of how weak his acting skills are. It was a surprise that the Academy Awards organizing committee gave him a Best Actor nomination. He himself did not have any hope of winning the award.
The most popular candidate for the Best Actor Award is Zhou Runfa, the leading actor of "Autumn Fairy Tale". His wonderful performance in it is obvious to all.
The camera switched back and forth, and the audience in front of the TV could see the different expressions on the faces of the five nominees. Tony Leung, who was nominated for the Best Actor for the first time, was looking forward to but nervous, while the older Li Xiuxian sat there calmly and calmly.
Xu Guanwen, who won the Best Actor Award at the first Academy Awards, was smiling, while Zhou Runfa was chatting with Zhong Chuhong to hide his nervousness.
As for Kang Jianfei, well, he was still sitting there with a poker face. It wasn't until he found the camera lens pointed at him that he finally showed a smile.
"Do you think Brother Fei has a chance to win the Best Actor Award?" Li Yanshan asked expectantly.
Wen Bixia deliberately laughed and said: "He has no acting skills at all, how can he win an award?"
"I think Brother Fei's performance in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was pretty good," Xie Zhi said weakly.
Among the four girls, Li Yanshan is basically filming TV series now. She really has no talent in making movies. Xie Zhi simply switched from an actor to behind the scenes, and went to Oriental TV Production Company to start as a clerk. Because of Kang Jianfei's care,
Now he has become the head of the variety show department.
"Why don't you make a bet? For 1,000 yuan, I'll buy Fat Brother and win the prize." Wen Bixia, who considers herself to be knowledgeable about movies and the oldest among the sisters, said.
"I'll win Brother Fei."
"I also buy Brother Fei to win."
"I also buy Brother Fei."
The remaining three women said without thinking that of course they were not optimistic that Kang Jianfei would win the award, but they were just showing support for their men.
Wen Bixia, who had become an outlier, was not angry, and said cheerfully: "Well, we pay three for one. It seems that we will have more money for late-night snacks tomorrow."
After the clips from the five films nominated for Best Actor were played, the camera panned around the five leading actors before cutting back to the two award-presenting guests on the stage.
Zheng Zeshi opened the envelope and took a look, with a surprised expression on his face. He handed the letter to Wang Xiaofeng and said, "This is a very unexpected answer."
After Wang Xiaofeng read the letter, she widened her eyes and covered her mouth in an exaggerated manner, and then said, "You should announce the winner."
Zheng Zeshi pressed the microphone on the microphone stand and said: "The best actor is Mr. Kang Jianfei, from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"!"
"Wow!"
Such an unexpected result immediately caused an uproar in the entire audience. All the nearby guests looked at Kang Jianfei, and the TV camera also showed a close-up of Kang Jianfei in a timely manner.
Kang Jianfei, who was already numb to the Academy Awards, was surprised by the surprise gifts from the judges. He subconsciously asked Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Runfa beside him: "Did I hear correctly?"
"Hey, Brother Fei won the prize, we won!"
Li Lizhen, Li Yanshan and Xie Zhu cheered in unison, and then raised their hands to Wen Bixia: "I am willing to admit defeat and take the money."
Wen Bixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She touched her wallet and counted the small coins and said, "Is this okay?"
Also dumbfounded was Kang Jianfei, who walked up to the stage and took the trophy from Zheng Zeshi. He then gave an impromptu acceptance speech: "Like everyone else, I was very surprised to receive this award, just like buying a jackpot.
I must thank all the judges here. But I would like to confirm again whether the name in the winning envelope was written wrong?"
Amid the chuckles, Kang Jianfei rambled on and then walked off the stage carrying a small golden man.
Cheng Long grinned and said with a smile: "It must be too easy for him, the actor, to take it."
"Who knows how those people judge the awards?" Alan Tam continued. He was very speechless about this year's Best Actor and Best Actress. One has no acting skills and the other has no fame. What's the point of awarding such an award?
There is more than one person who thinks this way. After all, Cheng Long's film won several minor awards, and those who didn't win the first award are convinced that someone cheated at the Academy Awards.
Shortly after Kang Jianfei came back from receiving the award, Zhong Chuhong whispered: "I'm leaving first, there is a night show over there in Central."
"Don't do more dramas in the future and pay attention to your health." Kang Jianfei patted the back of Zhong Chuhong's hand.
"I'll pay attention." After Zhong Chuhong said that, she dressed up and left quietly.
The following two awards: Best Director went to Fang Yuping of "American Heart", while "An Autumn Fairy Tale" won the Best Picture.
The award ceremony has not officially ended yet. Kang Jianfei left early. If he stayed later, he would have to be pestered by reporters. You must know that he, the best actor, came out of nowhere and would definitely become the focus of reporters' attention.
…
As soon as Kang Jianfei walked into the house, Liu's mother walked out at the right time and said, "Sir, sir, is back. Do you want to get something to eat?"
Kang Jianfei had eaten some a few hours ago. When Liu's mother asked, he felt a little hungry and said, "Let's make a bowl of noodles. The wonton silver noodles from last time were delicious."
"It'll be ready in ten minutes, please wait a moment, sir." Ma Liu walked quickly to the kitchen. She has lived happily in this villa in the past few years, especially after the hostesses left, Ma Liu basically stayed in this mansion.
I am taking care of my old age, so now I am working more diligently.
Kang Jianfei couldn't find anyone in the living room, so he looked in a few bedrooms. When he pushed open a bedroom door, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" sound, and then colorful shredded paper "fireworks" floated all over the room.
Kang Jianfei wiped off the confetti from his shoulders and asked with a smile: "What festival are you celebrating tonight?"
The four girls said in unison: "Congratulations to Mr. Kang Jianfei for winning the Academy Award for Best Actor!"
Kang Jianfei sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "The actor is also an emperor, where is my beloved concubine? Come here and give me a leg."
Li Yanshan and Xie Zhu walked over laughing and joking, knelt in front of Kang Jianfei and helped him beat his legs. Li Yanshan also asked in an opera-like tone: "Your Majesty, how are my skills?"
"The craftsmanship is very good, I am very pleased," Kang Jianfei smiled and waved, "Come here, I will reward you with 100 yuan."
Xie Zhi couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you giving tips in a nightclub?"
Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen laughed loudly on the side, took out two 100 Hong Kong dollars and stuffed them into Li Yanshan and Xie Zhu's bras and said: "Girl, take it, there is no need to look for it."
After a while of chattering and joking, Ma Liu knocked on the door and brought in silver wonton noodles.
The noodle soup has a fishy flavor, and the wontons and silver threads are covered in the golden noodle soup. The aroma is fragrant and makes people appetizing at the first sight.
Wen Bixia climbed onto Kang Jianfei's lap and said pitifully and cutely: "Brother Fei, you are eating supper alone and don't give any to anyone else. Xiaxia is so hungry."
Wen Bixia raised her head and opened her mouth, her little tongue sticking out like a nestling bird waiting for food, waiting for Kang Jianfei to feed her noodles. The look was indescribably tempting.
Kang Jianfei's small red mouth was bitten by Kang Jianfei's big mouth, and a wonton passed through his mouth. The two of them sucked and chewed each other for a while before each swallowed half of it.
"Brother Fei, I'm hungry too!"
The other three chicks also started begging for food. Kang Jianfei was so busy that he fed them one by one.
After eating a bowl of noodles, juices splashed everywhere, and several people's skin and clothes were stained with soup, but no one took it seriously. They stuck out their tongues and licked each other clean.
Along with Li Yufeng, who is not here tonight, these women have been trained/taught by Kang Jianfei to be very sensible and know how to serve men during sex.
It can be said that they had long lost their sense of shame in front of Kang Jianfei, and finally developed into two pairs of lesbian lovers.
Everyone who has come into contact with Li Yanshan regards her as a sensible and introverted good girl, who sometimes blushes even when she makes over-the-top jokes. Who could have imagined that she would serve the same man with three other women?
Even Wen Bixia sometimes feels unwilling to accept her current situation and feels that she has completely fallen. But once the bottom line is exceeded, people will choose to indulge in the status quo.
…
When he woke up in the morning, the big bed was in a mess. Half of Kang Jianfei's body was pressed by Wen Bixia, and someone's legs were placed on his waist. There was a head resting on one of his legs.
Kang Jianfei carefully moved the woman off his body. He ran downstairs and punched her before running into the bathroom to wash off.
When she returned to the dining room, only Xie Zhe was eating breakfast because she had to rush to work at Oriental TV Company.
Jian Fei nodded at her.
Thinking of the absurdity last night, Xie's face couldn't help but blush.
After breakfast, Kang Jianfei took Xie Zhi to the company. Today he is going to the recording studio to record the soundtrack for "Fang Fang". Kang Jianfei did not intervene in the film's soundtrack. It was basically completed by Lu Guanting, and Hu Weili also made some contributions.
On the way to the company, Xie Zhi leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder and closed her eyes to catch up on her sleep. She was tortured so much last night. Kang Jianfei kept flipping the newspaper with his hands, and habitually browsed today's news.
On the social section, the most controversial thing was the "1986 Public Security Amendment Ordinance" passed by the Legislative Council. They were still arguing about it half a month ago. Kang Jianfei was not interested in it, so he glanced at it casually and then turned over it.
The financial pages are still talking about the same old story, the stock market and the futures market are all bullish, but Kang Jianfei found an article warning about stock market bubbles. It seems that there are still people with discerning eyes.
As for the entertainment section, it goes without saying that the headline was last night's Academy Awards ceremony, and Mr. Kang Jianfei, who won the best actor award, became the target of criticism.
"The Academy Awards has hosted these two editions. The selection of Best Actors and Best Actors has become more unpopular each time. It seems that they are deliberately trying to prevent people from guessing the final results. "Film Fortnightly", the organizer of the Academy Awards, said that
Let the Hong Kong Film Awards be professionalized and popularized at the same time. A movie star whose acting skills can only be regarded as qualified is called professionalism? A movie queen who is not known to many Hong Kong citizens is called popular? Together with the selection of the last movie king and movie queen, they are all so unexpected.
It makes people wonder if the judges of the Academy Awards have lost their minds..."
Kang Jianfei thought it was funny after reading the article, so wouldn’t it be reasonable for the author to say the opposite? Li Yujuan’s becoming the Best Actress represents the professionalization of the Academy Awards, while Kang Jianfei’s becoming the Best Actor can represent the popularization of the Academy Awards, so why insist on finding fault with it—
-Although Kang Jianfei himself finds this funny.
After the car drove into the film and television city, Xie Zhe quietly slipped out of the car like a thief in the underground parking lot, and asked Kang Jianfei to wait until she was gone before getting out.
Kang Jianfei read several newspapers slowly in the car, and then walked to the recording studio of Fengxing Records. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he was greeted by an employee: "Good morning, Mr. Kang, congratulations!"
From getting out of the elevator to the recording studio, there were voices of congratulations all the way. As for congratulations, of course they were congratulations to Kang Jianfei for becoming the best actor.
"Same joy, same joy!" Kang Jianfei responded with a joke.
In the following days, Kang Jianfei became the target of complaints from major newspapers. Even TVB's comedy variety show alluded to Kang Jianfei's poor acting skills.
In fact, Kang Jianfei performed very well in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" because this kind of commercial action film does not require acting skills at all.
As for why he won the Best Actor Award, you can only ask the judges of the Academy Awards.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Shu Qi let Kang Jianfei win the Best Actor Award just to stir up conversation and increase the attention of the Academy Awards.
Without Phoenix TV's money, although there are still many corporate sponsors, the standards of this year's Academy Awards have been lowered again. Among other things, the jury of hundreds of people will definitely not be able to afford it. This year's Academy Awards
The Academy Awards only have a jury of 21 people, and all of them are local film critics from Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei directly ignored all the opinions from the outside world, saying that he used money to buy the best actor, etc., which is simply an insult to people's IQ.
In the next month, Kang Jianfei was basically busy with the post-production of "Fang Fang". During this period, he also held a birthday party for his son Kang Yuxin. It was not until the beginning of May that the Cannes Film Festival in France kicked off, and Kang Jianfei took the team
Fly over to do a screening.
The month that has just passed has been an eventful one. Newport Governor Wei Yixin has just arrived, and the gifts he has received are all kinds of disasters and evil incidents.
In reality, a fire broke out in Tsuen Wan and killed a firefighter. The next day, three people were killed and three injured in a car accident in Yuen Long. Then there were consecutive murders and suicides in North Point and Hung Hom. The clues of the two murders have not yet been found, and there are robbers in Wan Chai.
After robbing a bank at gunpoint, the robbers took hostages and confronted the police for eight hours before they were finally caught by the "brave" Royal Police.
Hong Kong is now in one word: Chaos!
All kinds of monsters and ghosts come out to cause trouble. In the past two years, there were several murder cases but the real culprit was not found. The police were completely helpless.
After a period of calm during the crackdown in the second half of last year, various associations in Hong Kong have become active again this year. Perhaps because they have been suppressed for several months, gangs are now fighting more fiercely, and people are injured almost every day due to territorial grabs.
Chen Guifang, who supported Kang Jianfei behind the scenes, also annexed several streets in April, basically unifying the northern part of Causeway Bay. Moreover, Chen Guifang did not use much force to annex the territory. It was mainly the bosses from Zidui next door.
"Unlucky" went to jail. Chen Guifang took out half of the 5 million given by Kang Jianfei and bribed many people from the other side to come over. Then they fought a few confused battles and then merged through negotiations. Since the two companies both belonged to 14k, the entire merger
The process did not receive much attention, and other gangs really had no excuse to take advantage of the opportunity. (To be continued...) u
