Because there were too many celebrities participating in the charity performance, the disaster relief concert ran from morning to night, and the host on stage also changed every two or three hours. The concert was not rehearsed, and even the order of appearances was decided on the fly. Basically, after every song
For several people, the host will report the celebrities' donations.
The number of donations was not several million as fans later said. The maximum donation from an individual celebrity was only 300,000. A-list celebrities such as Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow Sing-chi, Li Lianjie, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Chung Chu-hong, Wang Zuxian, Andy Lau, Xu Guanjie, etc. all donated this amount.
Even Zheng Yuling, who has always been stingy, generously donated 150,000 yuan this time.
Just like Kang Jianfei's personal donation does not exceed Huo Yingdong's 20 million, no matter how much money celebrities have, they can't donate arbitrarily. Everyone donates 20 to 300,000, but if you donate 1 million alone, you will be hated. Some celebrities are superficially beautiful.
, but there is not much money available. If you donate 1 million at once, what will others do? Should you borrow money to donate?
As for second- and third-tier stars, the starting price is basically 5,000 yuan, and those with more money can donate tens of thousands of yuan.
Although a single person did not have much money, more than 200 artists participated in the donation, and in a few days the accumulated donations amounted to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Together with the ticket revenue from the disaster relief concert, a total of more than 30 million yuan was raised for disaster relief.
Anita Mui, who returned from mainland China, also participated in a disaster relief performance and personally donated 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, not only Anita Mui, in another time and space, Sam Jianxun, who also actively supported the pro-democracy movement, also made great efforts to raise funds. From the planning, filming to distribution of the disaster relief movie "The Banquet of the Rich", Sam Jianxun participated in the whole process and was a key player in raising funds for disaster relief.
Great hero.
Kang Jianfei's women, except for the pregnancy accident, basically participated in the benefit performance. Even Gong Li flew from the capital to sing two songs.
What impressed Kang Jianfei the most was when Wang Zuxian showed off his singing skills at the disaster relief concert. His difficult singing skills without having to tune every word moved the whole audience.
Another outstanding performer like Wang Zuxian is Zhang Manyu, whose off-key talent is as good as Wang Zuxian's, making people forget the original song after listening to it once.
The contribution of the entertainment industry goes beyond disaster relief performances. People in the film industry have come together early to prepare a disaster relief movie, and the proceeds from the Hong Kong box office will also be donated.
Because they were afraid of conflicts of interest in the future, everyone also registered a "Selfless Movies Co., Ltd. in the entertainment industry" to produce disaster relief movies in the name of this company. The overseas income of the movies also belongs to the company, and will be divided according to each person's contribution in the future.
Sharing the money is regarded as a symbolic reward for everyone.
The script of the movie was provided by the left-wing film group "South China Film Workers Federation", and then adapted by nine people including Wang Jing, Xu Ke, Szeto Huizhuo, Gao Zhisen, Huang Bingyao, and Eric Tsang, and was finally titled "The Banquet of the Rich".
…
Tea restaurant.
"Mr. Kang, stand a little further back. Yes, the position you were in was blocked by Jun Ru. OK, get ready to start!" Zhang Jianting stood behind the monitor and shouted.
Although there was a quarrel with the mainland over the filming of "Hello, Cousin," Zhang Jianting also participated in the production of the film this time and was one of the four directors.
Since the film had to be produced as soon as possible to raise funds for disaster relief, the crew of "A Banquet" was filming non-stop for 24 hours. The crew was divided into two to work on the film at the same time, and the two directors in each group took turns directing.
"Three shots in the first scene of "The Banquet", Aikesh!"
Eric Tsang combed his boss's hair and stared at the camera, while Zhang Xueyou pretended to be a bitch and sat next to him.
"Will they be the owners of the building?" Eric Tsang said in disbelief.
"Yes." Zhang Xueyou smiled.
Li Lizhen pushed the dining cart over and brought two cages of chicken feet and tails to the table: "Here they come, freshly baked chicken feet and tails."
Zhang Xueyou looked impatient: "Take it, take it, we don't want the phoenix feet and tail!"
Li Lizhen glared at Zhang Xueyou and took away the chicken feet and tail: "Crazy, sesame seed bastard!"
Zeng Zhiwei asked Zhang Xueyou: "How did he know that your name is Shaobing?"
Zhang Xueyou smiled mischievously: "Shaobing can make you happy."
Zeng Zhiwei said: "Go on."
Zhang Xueyou said: "Do you know who the owners of the other two buildings are?"
"Who is it?" Eric Tsang asked.
Zhang Xueyou pointed to the past: "Right over there, there are two people eating barbecued pork buns and lotus seed paste buns."
Camera No. 2 gave the neighbor a shot.
Wu Junru pushed the dining cart into the host position.
Wu Junru stopped and took out two steamed buns: "Barbecued pork buns and lotus seed paste buns."
Eric Tsang waved his hand and said: "I want to eat chestnut cake, please take it away quickly."
The teahouse waiter played by Kang Jianfei enters the scene, standing behind Wu Junru, revealing half of her body.
Wu Junru said angrily: "If you want to eat chestnut cake, go to a Western restaurant. This is a Chinese restaurant."
Eric Tsang: “Is this a Chinese restaurant?”
"No?" Wu Junru said disgustedly.
Zhang Xueyou said to Zeng Zhiwei: "Boss, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, you have to strike first to gain the upper hand."
Wu Junru brought back two cages of steamed buns and cursed: "Imbecile child."
Eric Tsang asked: "What did you just say?"
Zhang Xueyou said: "The first thing to do is..."
Kang Jianfei stepped forward and patted Zeng Zhiwei on the shoulder: "Hey, brother, the price of tea is doubled, don't blame me for not telling you."
Even if Kang Jianfei's role is over, in addition to several leading actors, even passers-by will be star guest stars in "The Banquet of the Rich", and some bands and singers such as Beyondd and Tai Chi Band will also appear.
In another time and space, the heroines of this movie were Zheng Yuling and Rosamund Kwan. However, because Guan Zhilin was pregnant and giving birth, she obviously could not reappear, so this time the heroines were Zheng Yuling and Li Jiaxin.
After a long shot was taken, Kang Jianfei also changed into his own clothes and shook hands with the rest of the crew one by one when leaving.
Hong Kong filmmakers are incredibly fast at catching up on time. Working around the clock, it only took them a few days to shoot all the shots, then another few days for post-production, and the film was scheduled to be released in less than ten days.
At this time, it happened to be the opening time of the summer season. Several major theater chains allocated one-third of the screenings for "The Banquet", charging only an ultra-low box office share of 30, and ultimately sold more than 23 million box office.
The fundraising results in Hong Kong are astonishing. In just 10 days, 470 million Hong Kong dollars were raised. With the subsequent donations, the total donation reached 600 million yuan. China has received a total of 600 million yuan in donations from domestic and foreign countries.
The total donations of goods and materials totaled 2.3 billion yuan, and donations from Hong Kong alone accounted for a quarter.
In the past two years, the atmosphere between Hong Kong and the mainland, both privately and officially, was very tense, but this flood suddenly made the relationship between the two places harmonious. In particular, the central government's impression of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has greatly improved. President Zhou privately
Kang Jianfei revealed that the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade have restarted the proposal to introduce Hong Kong films.
Not only Hong Kong, but also Taiwan are actively donating money.
The Taiwan authorities allocated US$3 million for disaster relief in East China. Taiwan's three major TV stations opened "special love accounts" to accept private donations. China Television and Minsheng Daily jointly held a "Send Love to the Mainland" disaster relief party at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall to raise a total of donations.
More than NT$40 million, and the Taiwan Red Cross raised more than NT$770 million.
Regardless of political stance, we are all Chinese, and the saying that blood is thicker than water cannot be wrong.
In fact, until the early 1990s, the people-to-people relations between Taiwan and the mainland were very harmonious. What really caused the cross-strait relations to freeze was the Taiwan Strait crisis and the Qiandao Lake incident. Li Denghui was the biggest sinner of cross-strait reunification.
In the summer of 1991, the focus of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places was focused on the floods in East China. Finally, no one paid attention to Kang Jianfei's net worth and many lovers.
"The Truman Show" has been released in France and the United Kingdom after the Cannes Film Festival. After several discussions, the Taiwanese Cinema Line also arranged for the film to be screened in the summer season in August.
"The Truman Show" received a good response at the box office in Taiwan, but it still lost to Cheng Long's "Eagle". The sales in the UK were quite satisfactory, but in France, "The Truman Show" has been a hit at the box office, and the leading actor
Tony Leung Ka Fai once again succeeded in reshaping his face and became a well-known Asian actor in France.
After Kang Jianfei's on-the-spot investigation, the filming location for "The Truman Show" was also decided. It is a small island in the East Indies and is under the jurisdiction of the Brunei government. r1152
