After returning to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei immediately plunged into intense post-production.
After all, the Digital Field Special Effects Company (d2) has only been established for less than a year. Although it has technical support from professors at Stanford University, it still lacks knowledge in computer special effects.
At the suggestion of Scott Ross, general manager of the digital field, Kang Jianfei spent a lot of money to recruit a special effects artist from Industrial Light and Magic, and formed a 9-person CG special effects team with the company's original staff and Stanford professors.
Just when Kang Jianfei was busy in the later stages of "Tomb Raiders", the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards organizing committee sent him an invitation. "Fang Fang" he filmed a few years ago was nominated...
Although "Fang Fang" has been produced for several years, it was only released in Taiwan last year. This time it received 5 nominations for the Golden Horse Awards.
In addition to Kang Jianfei's "Fang Fang", "A Lang's Story" directed by Ang Lee also received 4 nominations.
Kang Jianfei was busy with the post-production period of the movie, so naturally he didn't have time to go to Taipei. Naturally, he didn't say anything about not winning the award. If he really won the award, he could only ask Zhong Chuhong to collect it on his behalf.
In mid-November, the 26th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards came to an end. Kang Jianfei's "Fang Fang" only won a pitiful award for Best Original Music. As for "A Lang's Story" starring Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong, it did not win a single award.
, came back with a small amount of eggs.
"Oh, I should have known I wouldn't have gone to Taipei, and my trip would have been in vain." Zhong Chuhong came back dusty and tired, and couldn't get up from the sofa as soon as she entered the door.
"A trip to Taipei is so tiring?" Kang Jianfei came over to give her a shoulder massage to relieve her fatigue. Today I finished the soundtrack for "Tomb Raiders". The theme song was completed by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, and the soundtrack was by Hu Weili and Lu Guanting. The CG special effects team
On the other hand, Kang Jianfei was still making scenes of the corpse turtle battle and self-exposure. Seeing that they couldn't produce any results for a while, Kang Jianfei simply sneaked home early to accompany Hong Gu.
Zhong Chuhong's shoulders were pressed comfortably. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "I could have come back in the morning, but I accepted an ad at the last minute, just those two slogans. I was tortured by the director all day long."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It seems like there is no gain at all this time. At least I earned some advertising fees."
"Are you trying to anger me on purpose?" Zhong Chuhong patted Kang Jianfei's hand on her shoulder.
Kang Jianfei's "Fang Fang" won an award at Cannes. This time, it only won one for Best Score. It is completely reasonable for "A Lang's Story" to get zero.
The biggest winners of this year's Golden Horse Awards are "A Story of Three Women" and "Sad City".
Although "The Story of Three Women" is a Hong Kong movie, it tells the story of three women from across the Taiwan Strait and three places in New York. The heroines Si Qinggaowa, Zhang Manyu and Zhang Aijia are also from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively.
The three heroines in the film have very different backgrounds, life experiences and educations, so they have constant conflicts in their living habits, ideological concepts, and behavior in the world. However, they are also descendants of the Yanhuang people, especially their strong national self-esteem. They also have strong national self-esteem.
They are closely linked together. When facing foreigners, they are united, but when they are alone, they repel each other, and their ambivalence appears.
In an era when cross-strait relations are very delicate, this kind of film can easily attract attention. The judges of the Golden Horse Awards obviously liked this film very much and directly awarded all 8 trophies to "A Story of Three Women".
Even the Taiwanese film "City of Sadness", which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, could only shy away from "A Story of Three Women" and only won two awards for Best Director and Best Actor.
You must know that before the awards were given, "Sad City" was the favorite to win the award. Film critics predicted that this movie could win at least 5 awards.
However, when talking about the film "Sad City", there are two people who have to be mentioned, namely Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dengkui. The former is the most famous director in Taiwan today, and the latter is the most popular producer in Taiwan.
In order to invite Lin Qingxia to make a movie, Yang Dengkui asked someone to come to Hong Kong with a suitcase of money and throw it directly at Lin Qingxia's house. Later, Kang Jianfei came forward and settled the matter. After that, Yang Dengkui and Kang Jianfei's companies still have offices in Taiwan.
We have collaborated several times.
When the Bamboo Union Gang caused the Jiangnan incident, Kang Jianfei was banned in Taiwan, and Yang Dengkui was also thrown into prison by the First Clearance Project. He was not released until President Chiang Kai-shek's death and the amnesty.
After Yang Dengkui was released from prison, he joined the film industry and made two Taiwanese films and lost some money. So he learned from the experience and began to change his mind. He discovered that films with Hong Kong stars were very popular in Taiwan, so he used Taiwan's behind-the-scenes production team to invite Hong Kong
Many stars came to cooperate in making films, such as "Sad City" starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai.
Not only that. In addition to being a film producer, Yang Dengkui is also the boss of the Tiandao League, one of the three major gangs in Taiwan. Before he was imprisoned, he was originally the leader of the Northwest Gang. As a result, the Taiwan authorities launched a clearing project, which made the entire Taiwan famous.
All the gangsters were swept into prison. These gangsters usually had no chance to get together, but they often met each other after they were in prison. At the initiative of Ah Bian, a classmate who was also in jail, the main gangsters in Taiwan merged into the same gang.
A gang, classmate A-Bian also gave this gang a domineering name - Tiandao League.
Nowadays, the Bamboo Union Gang is leaderless, and the Sihai Gang has become more and more restrained. The Tiandao League has become the most powerful gang on the island. As the elder of the Tiandao League, Yang Dengkui is naturally rich and talented when he opens a film company. Who dares to do so among Taiwanese directors and actors?
Don't accept his invitation?
Zhong Chuhong also mentioned Yang Dengkui at this time. She said: "After the Golden Horse Awards last night, people from Judeng Company asked me to film "Pink Corps 2", and the salary was only NT$4 million. I heard that this company has a gang background.
, so I didn’t dare to refuse directly and said that I would think about it again because they wouldn’t mess around, right?”
The Taiwan dollar has been appreciating in recent years, and now NT$400,000 is almost equivalent to more than 900,000 Hong Kong dollars. After Chung Chu-hong's "A Lang's Story" hit theaters, her salary has risen to more than 1.8 million, so it is naturally impossible to agree to it.
Invitation from Judeng Company.
"It's okay, Yang Dengkui is just a local gangster in Taiwan. No matter how powerful he is, he doesn't dare to come to Hong Kong to run wild. Be careful when you go to Taiwan, and always bring a bodyguard with you when you go out." Kang Jianfei ordered. It stands to reason that Zhong Chuhong is very famous now.
, Yang Dengkui would not dare to mess around casually, but who knows if this person will have a seizure?
"Why do I feel less confident the more you talk?" Zhong Chuhong pulled Kang Jianfei to sit next to her and began to talk about the gossip she heard in Taiwan. "Yesterday, Mr. Yu talked about a lot of things in Taiwan's entertainment industry. He said that now Taiwan
Zhu Geliang, one of the most popular hosts, used to work for a man named Yang. Later, Zhu Geliang became more and more famous, and Yang Dengkui went to prison for several years, so Zhu Geliang changed jobs elsewhere. After Yang Dengkui was released from prison
He asked Zhu Geliang to return to his company immediately, but Zhu Geliang refused due to contract issues. As a result, he lost all his money to the design company named Yang, so he could only go back to work for Yang Dengkui honestly."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "This guy surnamed Yang is also a number one. Next time I go to Taiwan, I will definitely give him a try. After all, the Tiandao League is now the number one gang in Taiwan."
"Didi beep beep..."
Kang Jianfei was holding Zhong Chuhong and talking about love when suddenly his mobile phone rang.
"Go pick it up." Zhong Chuhong moved away from him, stretched out and went to take a shower.
Kang Jianfei answered the phone and heard that it was Wan Qiwen calling: "Mr. Kang, this is Wan Qiwen."
Kang Jianfei watched Zhong Chuhong enter the bathroom, then walked to the window and said, "Hello, Miss Wan."
Wan Qiwen was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Mr. Kang, I want to treat you to dinner. I wonder when you are free?"
"It will take a while. I have been busy doing post-production these days and I have no time." Kang Jianfei really has no time, and he is not trying to whet Wan Qiwen's appetite.
"Oh, then I won't disturb you." Wan Qiwen said and hung up the phone.
Kang Jianfei said: "Let's do this, Miss Wan. When I'm done, I'll treat you to dinner. I wonder if Miss Wan is willing to give you a favor?"
"Okay, I will definitely go to Mr. Kang's treat." Wan Qiwen's tone finally became relaxed.
Just as Kang Jianfei hung up the phone and took a step forward, the phone rang again. This time it was Zhang Yan.
"Director, how is the post-production of the film going?" Zhang Yan's excuse for calling was to ask about the progress of "Tomb Raiders".
Kang Jianfei was very happy. It was different when a man was rich and powerful. Beauties came to his door one after another and revealed the rules. He said: "It's still early. If you want to finish the post-production, you have to go at least by the end of January."
"Oh, I just want to ask," Zhang Yan said and changed the subject, "I recently received a script from another company. I'm not sure whether I should accept it. I want to ask the director to help me with it.
Take a look."
"I guess I'll have time someday." Kang Jianfei was very satisfied with Zhang Yan's progress. She was such an introverted girl half a year ago, but in just half a year, she has become so good at hooking up with men.
Zhang Yan said: "How about tomorrow? I also want to see how to do post-production. How about I take the script to the film and television city to find you tomorrow?"
Kang Jianfei thought for a while, and it seemed that he could really take some time out from his busy schedule tomorrow. He said, "Okay, you can come over tomorrow afternoon."
On the other end of the phone is Zhang Yan's rental house.
Deng Baola asked Zhang Yan who hung up the phone: "Does Mr. Kang agree?"
Zhang Yan nodded happily and said, "He asked me to come over in the afternoon."
"The heroine of the movie starring Zhou Xingchi next year has not yet been decided. There are many actresses in the company competing for it. When you are with Mr. Kang, you must bring this matter up." Paula Deng
Teach the Way.
Zhang Yan was a little embarrassed: "Does Mr. Kang think I'm too greedy?"
Deng Baola sighed and said: "Silly girl, I didn't ask you to tell me as soon as we met. You have to wait until Mr. Kang is happy, mention it casually, and test Mr. Kang's attitude towards this matter first. If Mr. Kang doesn't want to take care of it,
You must not talk about this matter any further, otherwise it will definitely arouse his resentment." (To be continued) r752
