The luxury car provided by the sponsor took Kang Jianfei and his crew members to one end of the red carpet and stopped. Two beauties in cheongsam came over to help them open the car door.
Kang Jianfei just stretched out one foot from the car and landed on the red carpet. The reporters on both sides were already pressing the shutters frantically. The already dim evening light was illuminated as bright as day by the flash.
After Kang Jianfei got out of the car, he turned sideways and held Wang Zuxian's little hand, led her down in a very gentlemanly manner, and then led the two crew members to the other end of the red carpet.
The way the Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet show is performed as a unit is mainly determined by the venue. It is too narrow and cannot accommodate too many people. Guests attending the award ceremony can only be asked to wait in the hotel first, and then the guests will be sent to the venue.
The entire team picked up the car directly, and there was less interaction between celebrities, reporters, and fans.
The Academy Awards ceremony must be held at Kang Jianfei's Taiping Theater. This was a clause expressly written into the contract when Kang Jianfei sponsored the Academy Awards. Although Shu Qi and others have always felt that Taiping Theater was inconvenient and wanted to move the Academy Awards
The award ceremony was held in the Hong Kong Coliseum, but he really didn't have the guts to make this request to Kang Jianfei, because Kang Jianfei had made many concessions in the past few years, and any further concession would have touched Kang Jianfei's bottom line.
A large theater like the Taiping Theater that can accommodate more than 2,000 audiences is actually more suitable for performing dramas, holding small concerts, or as a conference venue. It is really wasteful and backward to use it to show movies.
Only when a DreamWorks movie is very popular, the attendance rate at the Taiping Theater will exceed 80%. Under normal circumstances, it is good to fill half of the seats.
In the hands of theater manager Zhang Moren, Taiping Theater's profit is very meager. The most profitable time every year is to hold the Academy Awards ceremony and the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. If Shu Qi moves the Academy Awards ceremony to the Hong Kong Coliseum, Kang Jianfei estimates that
Will fall out with him.
Pity Tony Leung Ka-fai and Francis Ng Chun-yu, two popular stars. I don’t know how many female fans have a crush on them. Due to venue restrictions, they had to go out together with the crew, and they didn’t even have a female companion to accompany them on the red carpet.
As the second female lead in "Fang Fang", Lan Jieying was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress this time. Unfortunately, the filming of "Big Time" reached its most critical moment, and she could not spare time to attend the award ceremony, so that Kang Jianfei
Of the two crews he leads, there is only one woman, Wang Zuxian.
Wang Zuxian's outfit today is very special, a black women's casual suit, mixed with a black lace long gauze skirt. There is also a thick shiny black leather belt tied around her waist, and even the high-heeled leather boots on her feet are black.
Only the belt buckle and the rolled-up sleeves of the suit are lining the whole body in light color.
This outfit is too eye-catching. Wang Zuxian's already tall figure makes her legs look even longer when wearing high-heeled leather boots. Every step she takes makes the hem of her long gauze skirt sway. The translucent material of the tulle can
It allows people to faintly see her pair of beautiful legs. This kind of concealment is more tempting than taking off her naked body.
Gradually moving up from the loose and free gauze skirt, the thick belt seems to divide her whole body into golden parts. The tight-fitting women's casual suit is closed with a single button, which not only makes Wang Zuxian's slender waist, but also makes her not protruding breasts extra tall.
The last time she was nominated for Best Actress for "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zuxian was just a quasi-newcomer who became famous immediately, and her dress was quite conventional. Now Wang Zuxian is a well-known actress in Asia. Naturally, she has to care more about her own image.
For its stars who attend important events, Oriental Entertainment Economics will design looks and provide clothing for them free of charge. Celebrities in this era are not so particular. Especially for male celebrities, they can wear the company's suits and they are done.
Ever since Wang Zuxian learned that she was going to walk the red carpet with Kang Jianfei, she refused the clothes provided by the company and instead spent more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to go to Milan to hire someone to design her look and customize her clothes.
In today's Hong Kong entertainment industry, the installation fee of more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is absolutely sky-high. Even second-rate stars cannot earn so much in a year. However, its effect is also very obvious. I don't know which famous teacher this outfit and style belongs to.
The handwriting combines playfulness, sexiness, freshness and intellectuality into one, and it can also receive high praise when put into international fashion shows.
At this time, Wang Zuxian and Kang Jianfei were walking together. They were not suppressed by Kang Jianfei's powerful aura. Instead, they echoed each other. The man was handsome and unrestrained, and the woman was intellectual and beautiful. They were like a pair of golden boys and girls.
When walking through the red carpet, Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuxian, who were walking at the front, completely covered up the glory of Tony Leung Ka Fai, Francis Ng and others behind them, attracting the attention of reporters and movie fans like a black hole.
Amid the shouts of movie fans, Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuxian walked arm in arm into the theater. The auditorium inside was already filled with people, and they soon became the focus of everyone's attention again.
"Wang Zuxian's outfit looks really good today." Zheng Yuling couldn't help but look at Wang Zuxian a few more times and said to Ye Tong next to her. She was nominated for Best Actress this time for her role in "The Wonderful Heroines".
The other heroine is Ye Tong.
Ye Tong nodded in agreement: "It's very beautiful. The style of her gauze skirt is very new. I don't know where to buy it."
Zheng Yuling has a somewhat carefree personality. She smiled and said, "I can't even guess. I'll just ask her after the awards are given out later."
Wang Zuxian kept smiling, and walked hand in hand with Kang Jianfei through the aisle of the theater, walked to a seat in the first row in front and sat down. This feeling of being in the spotlight made Wang Zuxian like it very much, not to mention that the male companion next to him was Kang Jianfei.
This gave her a wonderful illusion of monopolizing this man.
Before the award ceremony officially started, Kang Jianfei put his mouth intimately to Wang Zuxian's ear and whispered: "Baby, you are like a proud little princess now. You will wear this when you go home at night. You are not allowed to take it off."
Wang Zuxian blushed after hearing his teasing words, naturally thinking of the beautiful spring scene after returning home tonight, wondering how this bad guy would torment her.
The intimate actions of the two were immediately photographed by the reporters inside. It is easy to guess what will be written in tomorrow's news. A few rows away from Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuxian, Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen were also staring at them angrily.
Among so many women, Kang Jianfei. Today, Wang Zuxian, Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen, and Li Saifeng came to attend the award ceremony. Li Lizhen was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "The Final Victory". This movie was produced by Debao Company. Wen Bixia came purely to accompany Li Lizhen
join in the fun.
Wen Bixia stared at Wang Zuxian's back for a long time and said: "Ah Zhen, we seem to have visited all the department stores in Hong Kong, why haven't we seen those styles of dresses on her?"
Li Lizhen thought for a while and said: "Mostly, I paid someone to order it."
Wen Bixia felt that the way she dressed today was so weak compared to Wang Zuxian, she said unhappily: "Huh, vixen!"
Li Lizhen nodded in agreement: "She's just a vixen, with no breasts at all. I don't know what Brother Fei likes about her."
On the other side, Quan Xu and Shi Nansheng were whispering. Xu Jinjiang was sitting back and looking at the stage. He Jiajin tilted his head and chatted with Li Saifeng diligently. Li Saifeng looked indifferently to the side.
Perhaps because they were afraid that there were too many nominations for DreamWorks movies, they did not nominate "Once Upon a Time 2," which was released during the Spring Festival, for the Academy Awards this time. "The Announcement," which was released at the same time, was also placed in the next selection.
Even so, DreamWorks' "Fang Fang", "Shushan 2", "My Sassy Girl", plus the nomination of another literary film, have accounted for a large proportion of the total number of nominations at the Academy Awards.
Li Saifeng has not changed much in the past few years. At the age of 23, she feels like a girl of 17 or 18 years old, but now she is the leading female star of DreamWorks. This strong contrast is easy to leave people with
deep impression.
Since "Shu Mountain", Ho Ka Jin has collaborated with Li Saifeng in many movies, and the media always reports them as a couple.
After going back and forth, He Jiajin had strange thoughts. Even though he had heard some rumors about Kang Jianfei and Li Saifeng, he still subconsciously believed that Li Saifeng was innocent and pure, and then launched an offensive to pursue Li Saifeng.
Li Saifeng had a secret crush on Kang Jianfei at first. After a few years of little contact, the girl's love gradually faded away, and later her relationship with Kang Jianfei was purely a transaction. A few years later, Li Saifeng's feelings for Kang Jianfei were very complicated, and she was so complicated
I can't even figure out whether I like it, hate it, admire it or be in awe.
Li Qiming has been cooperating with Kang Jianfei and Ye Laosan in business over the years. He is not a billionaire, but his net worth is definitely over ten million. However, after his career became successful, he did not let his daughter leave the entertainment industry. Instead, he hoped that Li Saifeng would continue to be a businessman.
Star, while being Kang Jianfei's lover.
For Li Qiming, he has several children, and sacrificing the happiness of one daughter is nothing. Li Saifeng's continued maintenance of the status quo will help him the most.
"Amei, are you free tomorrow? I know a new restaurant has opened in Wan Chai, and I heard the food there tastes good..." He Jiajin continued to be attentive.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so you can make an appointment with someone else." Li Saifeng said listlessly. Although she resented Kang Jianfei in her heart, she would miss him after not seeing him for a while. She had already made an appointment to be with Kang Jianfei tomorrow.
As for He Jiajin, Li Saifeng regarded him as a good friend. She was afraid that Kang Jianfei would hate him for pursuing her affairs, so she kept hinting that he was a famous beauty and had a wife, but this little brother was stubborn.
The emcee has already begun to appear on the stage. After a song and dance, he begins to announce the first grand prize of the day.
The first awards were for Best Film Song and Best Film Music. Guang Yasun Jianfei's "Fang Fang" and "My Sassy Girl" were nominated for four, "Shushan 2" was nominated for two more, and the rest were nominated for music.
The ones are Jiahe's "Wesley", Debao's "Final Victory" and New Art City's "Dragon, Tiger and Storm".
In the end, the theme song "i_believe" of "My Sassy Girl" won the best film song, and the soundtrack "valse" of "Fang Fang" won the best music.
As soon as they started, they went to the next two cities. Kang Jianfei and Zhang Guorong, as the creators and singers of "i_believe", took the stage to receive the awards respectively, and then the French composer Nicolas Jory, the composer of "valse", won the gold statue trophy.
Nicolas Jory excitedly delivered a speech in French: "Thank you to Kang, the director of "Fang Fang", for his invitation and allowed me to create "valse". This is a work that I am very satisfied with. It is also a work that I am very satisfied with."
Because of this, I had the opportunity to come to Hong Kong to receive the award. Before that, I never thought that I would stand on the podium in Asia. It has been a week since I came to Hong Kong and I like this city very much. If I have the opportunity,
I hope to continue to cooperate with Hong Kong directors and musicians in the future. Thank you!"
Gringos are considered a rarity on the stage of the Academy Awards. Rare things are more valuable. When Nicholas Jory left the stage, he received even louder applause than Kang Jianfei.
The emcees of this award ceremony are Paul Chung and Mo Shunyun, an idol group of handsome men and beauties.
After Paul Chung waited for Nicholas Jory to step down, he said: "Our Hong Kong movies have been getting better and better in recent years, and they have excellent box office in Europe, America and Oceania. I want to stand on this podium in the future."
There will be more and more friends.”
Mao Shunyun blinked and looked at Paul Zhong: "Aren't you scared?"
"What am I afraid of?" Paul Zhong asked puzzledly.
"In the future, there will be more and more foreigners standing here, and maybe all the emcees will be foreigners. Then we will be unemployed," Mao Shunyun suddenly said with a funny smile, "Don't think you have Paul in your name.
You can pretend to be a foreigner, your skin color and appearance will already give you away."
"Hahaha……"
There was a burst of smiles from below. Paul Chung wiped his sweat and said with a helpless smile: "I finally understand why Zhou Xingchi did such a good job as a host. Then he ran off to film a movie halfway."
"Why?" Mao Shunyun asked.
"You can't continue what you said." Paul Zhong said.
The two joked around for a while before inviting the two award presenters to the stage to announce the names of the best action director and best art director.
"The nominees for the best martial arts director are: The Family Class "Plan A 3" ... The Family Class Class, Liu Jiarong, Yuan Zhenyang's "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers" ... Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuan Kui, Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Wah, Hou Yaozong "The Eastern Bald"
"Eagle"...Kang Jiaban's "Shushan 2"..."
"The winner of the best martial arts instructor is: "Plan A 3" family class!"
Cheng Long stood up first, raised his hands into fists, and then hugged each other with his group of brothers, and seven or eight people went up to stand on the podium together.
Cheng Long, who specializes in making action films, attends the Academy Awards every year. His biggest expectation is the martial arts director award. As for other awards, there is no doubt whether he will be nominated. Even if he is nominated, the chance is not great.
.
Cheng Long gave an excited acceptance speech. After waiting for a long time, he finally came off the stage with the trophy. The next person to hold the trophy was Xi Zhongwen. He won the trophy for best art director for "Shushan 2".
Next, Kang Jianfei began to show off his power. "Fang Fang" won 6 awards for Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Film. The remaining awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actor,
The Best Screenplay and Best Newcomer awards were divided among several other films. Wu Zhenyu won a Best Newcomer trophy for his good performance in "My Sassy Girl".
"My Sassy Girl" received a total of 8 nominations, but in the end it only won two minor awards: Best Film Song and Best Newcomer. Wang Zuxian, who was nominated for Best Actress for this film, was very depressed, but she couldn't complain.
All the trophies that "My Sassy Girl" lost were snatched away by Kang Jianfei's other movie "Fang Fang".
The entertainment section of the Hong Kong newspaper the next day focused on two things, one was "Fang Fang"'s ferocious ability to win awards, and the other was Wang Zuxian's stunning red carpet show.
"Showing the style of a king, sweeping this year's Hong Kong Film Awards": "At the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony held at the Taiping Theater last night, "Fang Fang", which won the Most Popular Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival, once again showed its power and swept the awards.
At the Academy Awards, it won a total of 7 trophies, becoming the film with the most awards since the Academy Awards began..."
"All the stars gathered in the red carpet show, and Wang Zuxian's beauty surpassed all the others": "On the red carpet show of the Academy Awards, various actresses competed for their beauty. Wang Zuxian was dressed in a women's suit mixed with a long black gauze skirt, which attracted everyone
It is said that Wang Zuxian spent a total of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to invite French fashion masters to design and create this look..."
The above is a relatively serious entertainment report from a major newspaper. Some tabloids, which were not allowed in at all, bought photos of Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuxian whispering from nowhere, and began to make up random love stories between the two.
The news that Kang Jianfei became the second largest shareholder of Paramount was also a hot topic in Hong Kong some time ago. Now that he has swept the Academy Awards, he has firmly established himself as the number one director in Hong Kong.
…
Li Saifeng was lying on the recliner with her bare back. Kang Jianfei's hands were filled with medicinal wine and he was rubbing her jade back vigorously. A trace of bruises could still be seen faintly under her shoulder blades.
"When you are tired, take a rest, or quit the film industry altogether." Kang Jianfei said while giving her a massage.
Being an action actress requires you to work hard. In another time and space, four female action stars, Michelle Yeoh, Hui Yinghong, Li Saifeng and Yang Liqing, were filming with real swords and guns, and all of them suffered from hidden injuries.
Michelle Yeoh and Hui Yinghong both quit for a period of time. In the end, due to life pressure, they had to work hard to continue filming, but they could no longer work as hard as they did when they were young. Li Saifeng was seriously damaged directly by the explosion and retired from acting.
He opened dance classes; and Yang Liqing retired to learn yoga to maintain health due to an injury, and eventually became a very famous yoga instructor.
Although Kang Jianfei is untrustworthy, he still loves his woman very much. He always tries to let the director use more body doubles, but some scenes cannot be replaced at all.
Li Saifeng felt comfortable being pressed by Kang Jianfei's hand. She closed her eyes and hummed: "I'm only 23 years old. Is it too early to retire now? I don't know what else I can do without filming."
Kang Jianfei said: "Then take less roles in the future, you are not short of money."
Li Saifeng stood up, hung a pair of jade arms around Kang Jianfei's neck, pressed her forehead against his and asked: "Brother Fei, have you ever liked me?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Fool, you are Master's good disciple. Of course Master likes you."
Li Saifeng naturally didn't believe such nonsense, but she didn't say anything more, and instead retreated into Kang Jianfei's arms to seek tenderness and comfort. Women are like this sometimes, they know clearly in their hearts but they like to deceive themselves and others by talking sweet words, and they don't know what to say.
They are silly and cute, but they only pity those men who are clumsy in speech or desperate for face.
Li Saifeng took the initiative to kiss Kang Jianfei's lips and led the man's hand to her chest. Her facial features were extremely delicate and she felt a bit like a cartoon girl.
Just wandering among the flowers, Kang Jianfei often stayed with his pair of children, and both little ones could call them daddy.
In the blink of an eye, it's already April, and Kang Jianfei hasn't started writing the script for this year's new film. He is busy communicating with Dark Horse Comics to create the comics for "The King of Fighters".
In mid-April, the production of "The Great Era", which took as long as 5 months, was finally completed. Because it is a drama planned by Kang Jianfei personally, it must maintain quality and quantity. "The Great Era" does not have as many restrictions as other TV series.
It is not broadcast while filming, but carefully produced and vigorously promoted after all filming is completed.
In Taiwan, after a lapse of several years, DreamWorks' films have once again entered the scene. "The Love of Rivers and Lakes" distributed by China Film Company has been released in Taiwan for nearly a month.
Although the plot and director can only be rated 80 points, this is a film starring Zhou Runfa after all. Not to mention that before Kang Jianfei was banned, Zhou Runfa was already very popular in Taiwan. In the past few years, a large number of pirated copies have been released in Taiwan.
Fans of Fa Ge.
The box office of "Love in Rivers and Lakes" quickly exceeded NT$20 million. This box office is already very good in the off-season for movies. What's more, the Taiwan dollar has been appreciating in recent years, and the box office revenue will be very impressive when the film is finally released.
The branch in South Korea has also begun planning to shoot the first movie. It hired several Korean actors whose names Kang Jianfei had never heard of, but the leading actor was Zhang Guorong. This was the strategy that was planned beforehand.
In the future, when the branches in South Korea and Taiwan shoot movies, they will focus on one or two Hong Kong stars to drive the whole movie, and by the way, they will praise the local actors who play with the Hong Kong stars.
It is still not possible to open a film company in the mainland. Kang Jianfei also invested some of the endless RMB in movies. He spent money on Emei Film Studio and Jingcheng Film Studio, and collaborated with them on two mainland films.
Movie.
These two mainland films probably have no market in Hong Kong, but they might win awards if they go to Europe. If they can earn box office, they will be for nothing.
In mid-April, when "The Big Era" was about to premiere, Kang Jianfei put down the comics of "The King of Fighters" and set off for the mainland. He wanted to start a plan to open a Sega game console foundry in the mainland. (To be continued...) u
