One week after the Directors Association Spring Tea, Kang Jianfei handed over the script of "Face Changing" that he personally revised to Wu Yusen, and asked him to start forming a crew to prepare for the film. ∏∈∏∈,
Then came the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards. "Jurassic Park" was undoubtedly the biggest winner, winning a total of Best Soundtrack, Best Art Design, Best Visual Effects, and Best Actor.
Six awards including Leading Role, Best Director and Best Picture.
In addition to "Jurassic Park", there are two other films that have attracted much attention at this year's Academy Awards, namely "Ruan Lingyu" directed by Kwan Kam Peng and "Cage Man" directed by Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Manyu won the Academy Award for Best Actress again for her wonderful performance in "Ruan Lingyu". However, "Cage Man" only won the Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor awards because she lost to "Jurassic Park".
In addition, Anita Yuen, who was born as a Hong Kong sister, unsurprisingly won the Best New Actor Award. As a newcomer, she filmed a total of 5 movies and 3 TV series last year, of which she served as the heroine in 4 of them. Among other female actors
The performance is extremely eye-catching among the stars.
It's a pity that such a popular newcomer actually signed a management contract with TVB. After Anita Yuen became famous, TVB actually forced her to go back to filming TV series, hoping to use her fame to increase the ratings.
Anita Yuen is currently in a stalemate with TVB. Fortunately, her three-year contract with TVB is about to expire, and it won't take long for her to regain her freedom.

In Japan, Izumi Sakai's new album "Winter Love Song" has been out for a month and a half. It sold 570,000 copies in the first week, and its cumulative sales have easily exceeded 2 million. It has topped the album sales rankings for three consecutive weeks.
The world's second largest record market is indeed different. Hong Kong can sell 400,000 copies, while Japan can sell 500,000 copies in the first week. In the past, when Sakai Izumi's records sold more than 200,000 copies, the sales volume in the first week was even higher.
There are more than 10,000 pieces, and the market gap is simply incomparable.
Aihui Music has refilled the Japanese lyrics for her first album "Superstar". Now the three girls are recording songs in Tokyo. Kang Jianfei originally planned to undress Xu Ruoxuan on her 18th birthday, but this happened because of her
The trip to Tokyo was canceled.
On the other hand, in Hong Kong, Wen Bixia, Lan Jieying and Ye Zimei were pregnant by Kang Jianfei one after another, and they were all at home raising their babies and expecting to give birth.
Kang Jianfei, who has just made a science fiction blockbuster, plans to play with a different personality in his new film. He chose the supernatural thriller "The Sixth Sense", which can be regarded as opening up a genre for Hong Kong films.
Films of this type have never sold well in Hong Kong, and few directors would bother to make them. But with Kang Jianfei's current box office appeal, he can guarantee box office if he makes a piece of shit. He has the qualification to be willful.
The script for "The Sixth Sense" has been written during the Spring Festival, and the next thing to do is casting.
Kang Jianfei has decided to let Huang Qiusheng play the role of psychiatrist Mai Jie. After filming "God of Gamblers" with Kang Jianfei, this guy has been silent for ten years, and his acting skills have been honed.
Naturally, the mother of the little protagonist was played by Zhong Chuhong. She didn’t give a second thought to both public and private matters. Zhong Chuhong is very suitable for starring in this type of film.
As for the actor for the small protagonist, Kang Jianfei could never find a suitable actor, so he finally decided to hold an audition. The requirements were also very simple: 8-10 years old, male or female, smart.
As soon as the news came out that Kang Jianfei's new film would be auditioning young actors, not only did the whole Hong Kong become a sensation. Even the media in Taiwan reported on it. Lin Qinglong received more than ten applications every day, so that Kang Jianfei had to limit the scope of the audition.
Expand to Taiwan to repay the enthusiasm of Taiwanese movie fans.
Taiwan's "United Daily News" wrote: "After "Jurassic Park", Kang Jianfei has become one of the most iconic figures in the Chinese world, and his every move has great influence. This audition
.Not only have countless Taiwanese parents signed up with their children, there are even families from Southeast Asia and Korea who have flown to Hong Kong specifically for this purpose..."
The auditions in Taipei were conducted by Yu Kanping and Lin Qinglong. On the day of the auditions, there was a long queue and it was spectacular.
In the end, Hong Kong and Taiwan each selected 10 candidates. These 20 children will gather at Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to be auditioned and selected by Kang Jianfei himself.
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
20 children, led by their parents, gathered in the No. 3 Administration Building of the Film and Television City. The children looked around curiously and seemed to find everything they experienced very interesting, but their parents were extremely nervous.
The audition was about to begin when a middle-aged man came in holding a little girl. The other children and their parents all looked at her sideways.
"That man looks like Lin Zixiang."
"No, Lin Zixiang also brought his daughter to the audition?"
"Does Lin Zixiang have a daughter?"
"Lin Zixiang should know Director Kang, and he may have chosen his daughter."
"..."
Other parents were talking a lot. The reason was simple: the man who came at the end looked too much like Lin Zixiang.
Finally, a parent couldn't help but walked over and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Zixianglin?"
The man smiled and said, "My surname is Cai, and my name is Cai Weicheng."
As soon as this statement came out, other parents finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if it wasn't Lin Zixiang himself.
The little girl Cai Weicheng was holding giggled: "My father is Lin Zixiang, he lied to you."
"Naughty!" Cai Weicheng dotingly patted his daughter on the head.
The little girl stuck out her tongue playfully, and then made faces at the adults around her.
"No. 1, kid Zhang Luoluo!"
The staff suddenly shouted, and immediately a parent took his child in to audition.
Kang Jianfei did not announce the results immediately. He sent gifts to each child who participated in the interview, and then asked them to go home and wait for the news.
About 40 minutes later, the staff called again: "No. 12, kid Cai Zhuoyan."
Cai Weicheng immediately led his daughter in and found that the only audition officer was Kang Jianfei. He quickly taught his daughter: "Ayan, please call Uncle Kang."
Cai Zhuoyan smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle Kang, you are so handsome."
", but his eyes carefully looked at the little girl in front of him, and it turned out that she looked a bit like the girl in his memory.
Kang Jianfei did not give the script a title for them to memorize for the performance. He immediately said to Cai Zhuoyan: "Kid, the neighbor's cat broke your vase. Your dad thought you broke it. No matter what you say, dad doesn't believe it.
, you are so aggrieved and sad, please come and perform a performance."
Cai Zhuoyan stood there stupidly and looked at Kang Jianfei, obviously not knowing how to start.
Kang Jianfei had no choice but to ask her father to play with her. Cai Weicheng knelt down to explain to his daughter, and then asked with a straight face: "Ayan, did you break this vase?"
"No, it's the neighbor's cat." Cai Zhuoyan shook her head, but there was no aggrieved expression on her face, and her eyes were still secretly looking at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm not the neighbor's cat. What do you want me to do?"
After re-performing it twice, with her father's patient explanation, Cai Zhuoyan finally found some feeling, pursed her lips and wanted to cry in grievance.
"Okay, let's end the performance here. You can go back and wait for the news," Kang Jianfei smiled at the father and son, and then said to the staff, "Next one."
Cai Weicheng took his daughter out of the studio. Cai Zhuoyan asked: "Dad, can I act in a movie?"
"I don't know, Uncle Kang asked us to go back and wait for the news." Cai Weicheng told his daughter truthfully. He did not expect his daughter to be selected like other parents. If Cai Zhuoyan hadn't made a fuss about coming, he would not have signed up his daughter.
Cai Weicheng is a small businessman with a good income. He spent several years in Canada before, and his daughter Cai Zhuoyan was born in Vancouver. After divorcing his wife, Cai Weicheng took his daughter back to Hong Kong alone. Since kindergarten, Cai Zhuoyan has been attending the most prestigious schools in Hong Kong.
Good school.
Cai Weicheng has never thought about training his daughter to become a star, because the chance is too low. It is more realistic to teach his daughter to do business. He also does not think that if he becomes a child star in Kang Jianfei's movie, he will definitely become famous when he grows up.
After returning home, Cai Weicheng forgot all about the audition. But a few days later, he actually received a call: "Hello Mr. Cai, I am the casting director of the crew of "The Sixth Sense". I am
I am happy to inform you that your daughter Cai Zhuoyan successfully auditioned..."
"Are you kidding?" Cai Weicheng thought he heard wrongly. His daughter was already 10 and a half years old, almost exceeding the age limit set by Kang Jianfei. Who would have expected that she would be selected.
The staff member said: "I'm not joking. I hope Mr. Choi will bring his daughter to Tseung Kwan O Studios as soon as possible to sign a performance contract."
Cai Weicheng was still surprised, and Kang Jianfei also encountered something that surprised him: Taiwanese film producers, who have always regarded Hong Kong filmmakers as gods of wealth, actually rebelled collectively this time! (To be continued...) u
