The awards ceremony for the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong Film Awards was a grand event. There were colorful flags flying everywhere outside the Hung Hom Stadium, and there was even a lion dance performance. All the top movie stars in Hong Kong, except those who had something to do, were all present.
Gather together to celebrate the birthday of the Academy Awards.
Not only that, the Taiwanese group Little Tigers, which is popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, was also invited to perform as a guest performer, attracting many young fans to come to support the concert. The fan area outside the Coliseum was so crowded that it almost exploded.
Hollywood superstars also invited two people, namely Sophie Marceau and Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger is famous for "Terminator 2". Sophie Marceau's fate is very different from that of the original time and space.
The big difference is that she became popular in Hollywood after starring in "Pretty Woman", and she also starred in the Hong Kong version of "Fang Fang" and is well-known to Hong Kong movie fans. These two are extremely famous in Hong Kong and the United States, so the Academy Awards Organizing Committee
Only then did we decide to invite the two of them to add glory to the award ceremony.
Hollywood stars are not invited just by asking. Sophie Marceau and Schwarzenegger were able to accept the invitation mainly because of Kang Jianfei's face. Needless to say, Sophie Marceau, Schwarzenegger was famous for "Terminator"
" series became popular, and Kang Jianfei is not only an investor in "Terminator", but also the second largest shareholder of Paramount Pictures. Schwarzenegger must give face.
In fact, the Academy Awards organizing committee also wanted to hire Stallone, because Stallone is more popular in Hong Kong, but unfortunately he couldn't be hired, and the asking price was too high.
In addition to celebrities, some well-known directors from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were also invited to attend this year's Academy Awards ceremony and gala dinner.
Now that Hong Kong movies are at their peak, the Academy Awards naturally have the confidence to hold a lavish 10th anniversary birthday party.
Shu Qi, as the main founder of the Hong Kong Film Awards, has voluntarily withdrawn from the Hong Kong Film Awards because of his devotion to film production - the main reason is that his previous cooperation with Cai Zhiming not only offended Kang Jianfei miserably, but also made enemies with some other directors.
and actors.
Now the Hong Kong Film Awards is chaired by Chen Bolin, and the Hong Kong Directors Guild is also the organizer. After the Spring Festival, everyone held a meeting and decided to register as a non-profit organization called "Hong Kong Film Awards Association Limited", with TV stations,
The station's broadcast fees and distribution income maintain its daily operations.
…
"Director Zhang, please look here and take a photo."
"Hua Zai, Hua Zai, I love you!"
"Brother Fa, you look so handsome today."
"Master Xing, I heard that your new movie has been started."
"Zou Sheng, when will the sequel to "Ninja Turtles" be released?"
"Ah Hui, do you have the confidence to win another Best Actor?"
"..."
Outside the Hong Kong Coliseum, whenever a star arrived, reporters immediately rushed to surround him, and the movie fans outside shouted crazily.
A stretched Lincoln drove slowly from a distance. After the car window was lowered, Schwarzenegger looked at the crazy fans from a distance and sighed: "It's so atmospheric, I thought I was at the Oscars."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "When you and Sophie appear on the stage later, the fans will definitely be even crazier."
"Really? That's so exciting." Schwarzenegger said politely.
As they were about to get off the car, Schwarzenegger began to arrange his clothes and tie. Kang Jianfei held Sophie Marceau's hand and said, "Let's spend a few more days in Hong Kong this time."
Sophie Marceau is a very contradictory person. She has an unrestrained and bold personality. She often shows up on the screen regardless of Kang Jianfei's objections. This approach makes Kang Jianfei very helpless. But she is also a very affectionate person. Since she became a
After becoming Kang Jianfei's lover, he never had any other boyfriends, which made Kang Jianfei very happy.
Of course, since Sophie Marceau stayed in the United States and France all year round, Kang Jianfei could not be sure whether she had eaten secretly. This was something that no one could prohibit, unless the rope tied Sophie Marceau. The two of them every year
The total time we spent together was only about half a month. Sometimes Kang Jian flew to the United States to visit her, and sometimes Sophie Marceau flew to Hong Kong to meet her lover.
"I will stay for three days at most and will return to Los Angeles next week." Sophie Marceau kept leaning on Kang Jianfei's shoulder affectionately, not afraid that Schwarzenegger would know about their relationship.
In Hollywood, it is very common for actresses to have close relationships with their bosses and directors. Schwarzenegger has seen this for a long time and is not surprised. Although there is nothing strange about him on the surface, he is still quite surprised in his heart, because Sophie?
Marceau rarely exposes scandals, and she has never heard of a man she is dating. It turns out that her secret boyfriend is actually the second largest shareholder of Paramount. No wonder she receives a lot of good dramas every year.
Homely Lincoln finally stopped on the roadside outside the Coliseum. Many reporters were staring at such a high-end car, and some of them had already walked over quickly. After the door opened, Schwarzenegger got out of the car first, and in an instant there were more than ten
The camera flashes at the same time.
Just as the reporters were about to interview and ask questions, the door of the Lincoln opened again. Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau got out of the car one after another, and their hands were still linked together.
When everyone saw that two Hollywood superstars and Kang Jianfei had arrived, the scene became even more sensational. In addition to reporters swimming here, some filmmakers also came over to say hello.
The reporter who was fluent in English showed his advantage at this moment and began to interview the two Hollywood stars in English, while those who did not speak English could only interview Kang Jianfei.
"Mr. Schwarzenegger, what is your influence on Hong Kong? Have you ever watched Hong Kong movies?"
"Several of Director Kang's films have been released in the United States. I like his new film "The Truman Show" very much."
"Besides Mr. Kang's movies, are there any other Hong Kong movies you like?"
"Of course, I like every Bruce Lee movie. Chinese Kung Fu is great."
"Besides Bruce Lee?"
"Well, "Godzilla" is also pretty good."
"That's a Japanese movie..."
"..."
"Miss Sophie, how does it feel to visit Hong Kong again?"
“Very kind. I like this city.”
"You and Mr. Kang were holding hands just now. Are you a couple?"
"we are good friends."
"What do you think of Mr. Kang?"
"He is a very charming and talented man."
"Have you ever thought about working on a movie with Director Kang again?"
"I've been looking forward to it."
"What about other directors in Hong Kong?"
"If the script is good, I won't refuse it."
"..."
"Mr. Kang, there are rumors that your net worth has exceeded US$3 billion?"
"I didn't do the math."
"If this is the case, your personal assets seem to have surpassed Li Chaoren, King Zheng and Fok Daheng, becoming the new richest man in Hong Kong."
"Really? Their industry is much bigger than mine. In the past few years, I could only barely rank among the top five."
"You must be number one in terms of personal assets, because the rich list in Hong Kong is usually based on family assets, and the Sega of Japan and the Oriental Film Company in the United States, which you control, are not included in the calculation. Sega has been listed since
From now on, the Sega stock you hold will be worth more than $500 million."
"There are so many?"
"According to professional calculations, with the development of the new town in Tseung Kwan O, the land in Tseung Kwan O Studios alone is worth HK$1 billion, and there is still a lot of room for appreciation. I heard that you only spent more than 10 million to purchase it."
"A total of more than 50 million was spent, and I bought another land when the film and television city was expanding."
"You have such a keen eye, have you ever thought about joining the real estate industry?"
"I heard that Jiahe is engaged in real estate, so I won't join in the fun. I will just buy some buildings for my family to live in. I don't know much about the real estate business."
"..."
During the interview at the Academy Awards, Kang Jianfei actually chatted with reporters about the rich list and real estate.
Mainly because American newspapers reported on Kang Jianfei's personal assets, it aroused great attention in Hong Kong, because once the news is true, Kang Jianfei will be the richest man in Hong Kong in the new generation.
Of course, many people are skeptical about this, but Paramount's shares cannot be faked. The Paramount shares held by Kang Jianfei alone are worth more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. And with the hot sales of 16-bit game consoles, Sega
The company grabbed a huge piece of meat from Nintendo, including the hot sales of new games such as "The King of Fighters". Sega's stock price skyrocketed after its listing. The market value of Kang Jianfei's Sega shares actually exceeded US$500 million.
Believe it or not, Kang Jianfei’s net worth of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is absolutely unmistakable. But the problem is how could he have so much money to buy shares of Paramount 37? Even if Kang Jianfei pawned his pants at that time, he would not be able to get more than one billion US dollars.
!
There was no Internet in the 1980s, so it was very difficult to look up information. Few people in Hong Kong know that Kang Jianfei made hundreds of millions of dollars just by selling the box office of "Home Alone 1" and the scripts of the series of movies.
The films he secretly invested in, such as "Out of Africa" and "Rain Man," have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office.
The three of them were surrounded by reporters and interviewed for a while. When the next star arrived, the surrounding reporters gradually dispersed, and it was the turn of other Hong Kong filmmakers to greet them.
It took half an hour just to chat and chat, and finally Kang Jianfei got together with Wu Siyuan and Chen Xunqi to chat.
Wu Siyuan said: "Mr. Kang, I just discussed with Archie about building the Directors Association building."
"Don't you have enough money? Do you need me to sponsor some?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Wu Siyuan said bluntly: "The Directors Association is an association for all directors in Hong Kong. It is not appropriate for you to sponsor it."
The members of the Hong Kong Directors Guild come from major companies and independent directors. If Kang Jianfei spends money to build the headquarters building, it will give other directors a bad idea - Kang Jianfei wants to use money to control the Directors Guild.
Kang Jianfei nodded and asked, "It's really inappropriate for me to pay. What are you going to do?"
Chen Xunqi said: "When making a movie, from the script to the director to the actors, all members of the association voluntarily participate, and the box office earned is used to build the association building."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "This is a good idea. I will also play a guest role when the time comes."
Wu Siyuan also laughed and said: "Having Mr. Kang's support is half the battle. I hope that Oriental Cinemas will be able to free up a good schedule for this movie."
"Definitely, definitely." Kang Jianfei agreed. r1152
