Chapter 423: The Leftist Camp's Encouragement

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
There is a long red carpet outside the Taiping Cinema, and the hosts on the other end of the red carpet are still Zheng Zeshi and Zhang Marie.

Mary Zhang had just sent away Mai Jia, Chang Ai Jia and Xu Guanjie, and held the microphone and said to Feng Huáng's camera: Just now, the bald detective shared with us the behind-the-scenes story of "Best Partner". The next one is about to step on the red carpet is the crew member of the "Deadly Express".Please invite Mr. Kang Jianfei, Mr. Jackie Chan, Miss Brigitte Lin, Mr. Deng Jingsheng, and Mr. Zheng Guangming...

As Zhang Mari's voice came out, three Mitsubishi RVs stopped at the other end of the red carpet one after another, and the crew members who were nominated for "Deadly Express" made their debut.

The director Kang Jianfei walked in the front, with the male and female protagonists Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin on both sides of him, as well as other behind the crew members. After stepping on the red carpet, everyone stopped and waved to the distance from time to time. The flashing lights on both sides of the red carpet were lit up.

Listening to the tide of cheers from the fans, Mai Jia, who was about to enter the theater, sighed: This voice is much louder than we did just now.

"Deadly Express" sells well in Japan, and "Best Partner" is under a lot of pressure.

Xu Guanjie said worriedly that his and Jackie Chan's box office influence in Hong Kong is comparable, and they have many movie fans in Japan, so it is inevitable that they will be comparative.

Chang Aijia didn't say anything. She will officially leave Xinyi City in two weeks. Today is just here to make a comeback.

Since "Best Partner 3" was released after the Gregorian calendar year, it did not receive any nomination this time and could only compete for the next Academy Awards. Mai Jia, Sylvia Sylvia and Xu Guanjie are all guests invited by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.

When the crew members of the "Deadly Express" walked across the red carpet and came to the temporary small stage, Zheng Zeshi sighed: Today's scene is very rare. Excellent filmmakers from DreamWorks and Jiahe Pictures gathered together as members of the same movie.

It's Ah. This time it seems that it was Mr. Kang and Brother Long's first cooperation. Mary Zhang handed the microphone to Jackie Chan and asked, "Do Brother Long feel happy to work with Mr. Kang?"

Jackie Chan is a person who is accustomed to speaking scenes. He said with a smile: Mr. Kang is very good at making movies, and the story of "The Deadly Express" was first proposed by him.At the same time, Mr. Kang respects the ideas of other members of the crew very much and is able to brainstorm and create together. We have been working together very happily this time, and hopes that we can still make movies together if we have the opportunity in the future.

Zheng Zeshi immediately asked Kang Jianfei: Mr. Kang, Jackie Chan hopes to cooperate with you again just now. Do you have such plans?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It depends on whether Boss Zou lets go. Along is Jiahe's pillar.

Zhang Mari said to Brigitte Lin again: Miss Lin, are you confident of winning the Best Actress Trophy today?

Brigitte Lin took the microphone and said: In fact, it was a surprise to me that he was nominated for the Best Actress. After all, "The Deadly Express" is a commercial action film, and there is little room for the actors to perform their acting skills.

The two hosts chatted a few more times before saying: We are here to wish the crew of "Deadly Express" good results. Now, please invite the crew of "Half-People" director Fang Yuping, Miss Xu Suyin, Mr. Wang Zhengfang, and Mr. Shi Yangping...

When the crew of "Half-Man" walked across the red carpet, Kang Jianfei had already dragged Brigitte Lin's hand into Taiping Theater, sitting in the front row and waiting bored for the award ceremony to begin.

Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin sat together and chatted intimately, occasionally chatting with Jackie Chan and others next to him.A moment later, Fu Qi and Shi Hui came in and sat down in the back row of Kang Jianfei.

The couple behind are quite good. Fu Qi is the current general manager of Yindu Institution and the boss of Zhongyuan Film Company (Zhongyuan Film Production Company is the satellite company of Yindu Institution, and "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boy" are both produced by Zhongyuan Film); while Shi Hui is the current director of the actor's office of Yindu Institution and the chairman of the South China Film Workers Federation.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are real power figures of Hong Kong's left-wing film companies. Kang Jianfei has no conflict of interest with them, and their relationship has been quite harmonious before.

Fu Qi asked Kang Jianfei: Does the film "Shushan" invested by Mr. Kang seem to have stopped filming?

Kang Jianfei casually explained: The director has some new ideas and is ready to change the shooting plan.

Fu Qi said: I went to the mainland before the New Year. Deputy Director Jiang of Beijing Film Studio is from the crew of "Shushan". He said that "Shushan" was definitely a good movie, and it would be a pity to stop filming halfway.

Will continue shooting.

Kang Jianfei smiled, but didn't say much.

Although he agrees with Tsui Hark's idea of ​​filming the "Shushan" trilogy, he does not agree with Shi Nansheng's budget. After all, the cost of shooting 50 million yuan for a single movie is too expensive.

Converting 50 million Hong Kong dollars into US dollars is only more than 6 million, which is not enough to shoot a "Terminator", but the problem is that the cost of filming in the mainland can be greatly reduced.

Nowadays, any movies filmed in mainland China can only be filmed in cooperation with the mainland.

When filming a movie, you can mobilize a large number of mainland film and television resources, and only need to pay a small amount of money. For example, mainland photographers and actors do not need to pay them a pay, and at most they spend a little money when asking extras.

Of course, the copyright of the films made in this way belongs to the mainland co-production company, which is mandatory and unchangeable.

After Kang Jianfei formulated the shooting plan for "Shushan", he would have someone re-produced a budget plan, intending to control the shooting cost of a single film between 35 million and 40 million.

And the so-called trilogy will only shoot the first part for the time being. If the box office cannot be recovered, the shooting plans for the second and third parts will be shelved indefinitely.

Fu Qi asked about "Shushan" as just an excuse, and the following words came to the point. He said: Next month, the South China Film Workers Association will have an event, mainly to study the history of early and mid-term films in China. I wonder if Mr. Kang is interested in participating?

The so-called South China Film Workers Federation is the base camp of left-wing filmmakers, and is an organization that always opposes the Freedom Association.

Kang Jianfei has not joined any side now, and as his influence in the Hong Kong film industry has become increasingly important, he has naturally become the target of the Freedom Association and the South China Film Workers Federation.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are both senior executives of the South China Film Workers Federation. They have long wanted La Kang Jianfei to join the association, but there is no right time. Now we are taking this opportunity to test Kang Jianfei.

If Kang Jianfei agrees to participate in their activities, there is a possibility of further development.

As long as Kang Jianfei can be pulled into the South China Film Workers Federation, the left-wing film power in Hong Kong will be greatly enhanced.

Kang Jianfei has been in the Hong Kong film industry for several years and knows these sensitive things very well. He politely refused: I have a new film to shoot next month, so I guess I don’t have time to participate in any event. I’m so sorry.

Shi Hui smiled and said: It doesn’t matter. I will invite Mr. Kang to attend the event next time. Mr. Kang will have to appreciate his face at that time.

Kang Jianfei said perfunctorily: Sure, certain.

Shi Hui said again: I went to Beijing with Brother Qi for a meeting in the New Year, and the leader appreciated Mr. Kang's movies very much.Now the mainland is preparing to increase the number of foreign films every year. If Mr. Kang is interested in selling the movies to the mainland, I can serve as an intermediary to contact him.

Shi Hui also has another position as the general manager of the Overseas Development Trade Department of Yindu Institution, who manages some of the issuance and procurement matters of Yindu Institution. Every year, she chooses and delivers movies for the Yindu Institution to sell to the mainland.

In order to enter the Left Filmmakers Association of Lakang Jianfei, Shi Hui actually started to tempt him, which shows her importance to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei just pretended not to understand what Shi Hui was saying. He laughed: DreamWorks movies are mainly commercial, and they may not be in line with the artistic concepts of the mainland.

Fu Qi interrupted: Mr. Kang's "The Dao Ma Dan" is good. Promoting revolutionary spirit and patriotism will definitely pass the film review.

Kang Jianfei didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he said: I'll go back and ask the Marketing and Distribution Department and ask them to come up with a set of plans.

Kang Jianfei's words were purely perfunctory. At that time, the issuing department would contact Shi Hui, and anyway, they would not agree on various opinions.

Shi Hui took Kang Jianfei's words seriously and planned to contact the distribution department of DreamWorks in a few days. Anyway, she was trying to bring Kang Jianfei into the left-wing filmmaker camp.
