Seeing Kang Jianfei walking into the tea restaurant, Shu Qi immediately stood up to greet him, smiled and stretched out her hand and said: Good afternoon, Mr. Kang.
Kang Jianfei shook hands with Shu Qi, and then sat down and said with a smile: Mr. Shu has been waiting for a long time, right?I delayed some time when something happened.
Shu Qi did not answer directly, but said: It is quite leisurely to sit here and watch the sea view and drink afternoon tea.
Regarding Shu Qi, Kang Jianfei has always heard of his reputation and never seen him in his previous life.
Because when Kang Jianfei entered the film and television industry, Shu Qi was already half retired. He had seen some of the movies he wrote, but he had never seen him.
There were two Shu Qi in the Hong Kong film circle in later generations, and most people couldn't tell the difference between these two Shu Qi.One of them is the publisher and critic, and the other is the famous female film star.
Speaking of which, the name of the female Shu Qi and the male Shu Qi are very related. The female Shu Qi was originally surnamed Lin. When she debuted, she became popular in Taiwanese art films, so she changed her stage name to Shu Qi. Later, her Taiwanese agent changed her name to Shu Qi (Wang Bang).
A few years later, Wang Jing and Wen Jun brought their female Shu Qi to Hong Kong. Wen Jun and her male Shu Qi were good friends, so they naturally would not let the two have the same name. So they changed the name of the female Shu Qi to Sandianshui and continued to use it.
Kang Jianfei and Shu Qi had nothing to talk about, and said casually: The award ceremony last night was held well.
Mr. Kang laughed. If the funds were more sufficient, I would definitely be willing to do it more perfectly.
Shu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "There are many places in the award ceremony, and I, the organizer, are not considerate carefully."If the two hosts have any offense, I hope Mr. Kang will not be surprised.
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: Mr. Shu is so serious, so it is impossible to offend or not.However, your way of awarding is more offensive than the host's words.
It's Ah, Shu Qi understood Kang Jianfei's meaning, nodded and said, "To give the award next year, I'm going to use the method of nominating first and then announcing the winner."
Why do you say that this year's Hong Kong Film Awards offend people?
Because Shu Qi has invited many directors, actors, screenwriters and other filmmakers, no one knows whether she is a guest or a winner in advance, and all of them have expectations for the award.
As a result, only five people actually won the trophy. I don’t know how many people were disappointed.
Moreover, the awards were controversial. If the awards were judged based on the artistic and ideological connotations of the film, why did Xu Guanwen win the Best Actor for a commercial comedy?
It is also a commercial comedy, and the box office of "Best Partner" is even higher. Why can't Mai Jia win this award?
If it is commercially speaking, what is the situation with the biggest winner of the Academy Awards, "Father and Son Love",?
Moreover, "The Story of Hu Yue" is also an art film, and it also reflects the serious real problem of Hong Kong becoming a refugee camp. Why can't we win the best film?
After all, this Academy Awards ceremony is simply a joke in the eyes of people in the circle.Whoever wins the award or who doesn't win it depends entirely on the preferences of those editors of "Movie Biweekly".
Not only Kang Jianfei was unhappy, but Mai Jia, Sammo Hung and others were also feeling uncomfortable. Mai Jia's face was gloomy when he left last night.
People came to the award ceremony happily, but in the end they only got a certificate of awards, not even a trophy, but the grand prize was awarded to the same type of video. What does this mean?
Kang Jianfei didn’t be polite to Shu Qi and asked directly: Mr. Shu thinks the Academy Awards can still be held next year?
Uh... Shu Qi didn't expect Kang Jianfei to speak so directly, and said with a tough bullet, "No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere."
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: I am frank, I have never heard of any movie event in the world. The editor of a magazine selected the winners.To put it bluntly, your reputation and qualifications are not enough to evaluate this award.If you don’t change this, the Academy Awards will always be just about entertainment and small-scale quarrels, and no one will take it seriously.To put it more hurtful, does this year's Academy Awards have a strict selection charter?I’m afraid that you screenwriters will come together and make a decision based on your preferences.
As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter, Kang Jianfei's words are ugly, but they point directly to the key points of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which makes Shu Qi not know whether to thank or be angry.
Shu Qi sighed: If "Movie Biweekly" is not allowed to be selected, then who should be allowed to be evaluated? There are no other professional organizations in Hong Kong at all.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: No now, it doesn’t mean there has been no.For example, the Hong Kong Film Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Photographers Association, the Hong Kong Screenwriters Association, etc., you can contact us and initiate it.At that time, the "Movie Biweekly" and various associations will select their respective reviewers, and then the jury will be formed by these reviewers, so the awards will be much more credible.
Shu Qi spread her hands helplessly and said: Mr. Kang thinks I have the ability to initiate the establishment of so many associations?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Mr. Shu, you can hold the Golden Horse Awards in the face of financial difficulties, and also invite the chairman of the Municipal Bureau to be a guest. I believe in your connection ability very much.For example, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, you can go to popular actors like Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanwen, or you can also find qualified and prestigious actors like Guan Dexing and Di Long. After obtaining their support, the following things will be easier.
Kang Jianfei's suggestion made Shu Qi's thinking suddenly clear, but at the same time, she became even more confused.
Today he is here to calm Kang Jianfei's resentment. Why has Kang Jianfei actually come up with his ideas for him now?
If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal!
Shu Qi tentatively said: Mr. Kang seems to be very interested in this kind of thing.
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: I am not interested in forming an association, I just want to sponsor next year's Academy Awards, so of course I hope it can do better.
As soon as Kang Jianfei said this, Shu Qi immediately refused: Sorry, I must maintain the independence of the Academy Awards and do not accept sponsorship from any film company.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: Who said I sponsored it in the name of DreamWorks?
Shu Qi shook her head and said: Mr. Kang, your personal sponsorship is not enough, you are the boss of the film company.
Kang Jianfei asked: Is it okay to sponsor it in the name of Lishi?
Lishi?Shu Qi felt a little confused and didn't understand why Kang Jianfei sponsored it in the name of Lishi.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I am the fourth largest shareholder of Lide TV.
Shu Qi stared at Kang Jianfei with wide eyes, and the shock in her heart could not be described in words.
Building a TV station is not a film company. You can register a company with a few thousand yuan. Kang Jianfei quietly became the fourth largest shareholder of the TV station. This kind of thing has not even been reported by the media.
Kang Jianfei promised: I will not be citing the selection of the Academy Awards, but I hope that after sponsorship, Lishi will get the broadcast rights for the Academy Awards ceremony in the next ten years.
Shu Qi remained silent, quickly calculating the gains and losses of this matter in her mind.
With Li's TV as the funder, the Golden Star Awards will definitely get better and better in the future, and there is no need to worry about raising funds.
But once he accepted Lishi's money, if Kang Jianfei wants to intervene in the selection of the Golden Star Awards one day, it would go against his original intention of founding the Golden Star Awards.
After thinking for a long time, Shu Qi finally couldn't stand the temptation of funds and asked: Can Mr. Kang really guarantee that he won't interfere in the Golden Horse Awards?
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: I may make my own suggestions on where, how to hold the award ceremony, as well as the awards for the Academy Awards, but I can guarantee that I will not interfere with which movie to choose to win the award.
Shu Qi gritted her teeth and said: Then that's it. Next year's Academy Awards ceremony will be left to Lishi.
Kang Jianfei also said: There are too few awards this year. I hope to add the best supporting actor and actress, best photography, best music and other awards next year.
Shu Qi said helplessly: Actually, I want to set up these awards in this session, but you know that "Movie Biweekly" is insufficient in staff, so it is already very difficult to apply if you evaluate five awards.
Kang Jianfei made a suggestion: If a professional film group cannot be established next year, "Movie Biweekly" can contact some film critics and media people to form a professional jury, which is much better than doing it yourself.
Shu Qi nodded and said: This is the only way to go. Thank you Mr. Kang for your advice.
Kang Jianfei waved his hand and smiled: It’s not worth mentioning. Many movie events abroad are done in this way, and I’m just picking up people’s wisdom.
After reaching the initial intention, the two began to chat about the holding of the Academy Awards next year.
Kang Jianfei’s suggestion is to institutionalize all aspects of the Academy Awards as soon as possible, and then expand its influence, such as inviting a famous foreign director or movie star to be a judge or award presenter.
Shu Qi is a real talent, even two years younger than Zhao Yazhi.At this age, he was a director and won an international award, and he was able to prepare for the Hong Kong Film Awards. He is no matter how he said that he is a legend.
In fact, Shu Qi’s strongest ability lies in doing publicity and connection work.
In the parallel space, Shu Qi later became the promotional manager of Debao Company, and then established his own film distribution company. The distribution of movies such as "The Big Red Lantern" and "Farewell My Concubine" in Hong Kong and Europe and the United States was organized and planned by Shu Qi.
If Shu Qi had not been responsible for the development of "Movie Biweekly" and the Film Awards, and Li Yicheng, the publicity manager of Oriental Dream Factory, was doing a good job, Kang Jianfei would have wanted to recruit him.
The two chatted until after five o'clock, and all the guests in the tea restaurant had already been exposed. Shu Qi said with unsatisfactory: Mr. Kang, talking to you is better than reading for ten years.What you said today gave me a lot of inspiration, and I will try my best to make the Golden Horse Awards well.
Haha, I just talk about it in vain.Kang Jianfei smiled, shook hands with Shu Qi and left.
Kang Jianfei shook hands with Shu Qi, and then sat down and said with a smile: Mr. Shu has been waiting for a long time, right?I delayed some time when something happened.
Shu Qi did not answer directly, but said: It is quite leisurely to sit here and watch the sea view and drink afternoon tea.
