The strange surge in Hong Kong film production at the beginning of this year was obviously a false and prosperous smell, that is, the Hong Kong film market was not strong enough, but the number of Hong Kong films was too stimulated by several theaters.
If this continues, a large number of film companies will inevitably go bankrupt in competition, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall quality of Hong Kong films until a certain theater chain goes bankrupt due to losses.
This is an inevitable process of self-regulation in the film market!
Kang Jianfei doesn't want to do anything Superman to save Hong Kong movies, and he doesn't have the ability to save them. At worst, Hong Kong movies collapse and go to Hollywood to get on.
If it weren't for not understanding English, not accustomed to European and American lifestyles, and even more so, Kang Jianfei would have gone to the United States to make money.
What Kang Jianfei is thinking now is to increase the production volume of Oriental Dream Factory and set the shooting plan for this year to be around 12.
The output of 15 movies is almost the same every year. If there are more, the theaters will not be able to line up at all. Kang Jianfei doesn't want his company's movies to be released for only a few days.
Now Yu In-tae is filming a film "Chasing the Seven Heroes of Ghosts", starring Chen You, Zheng Zeshi, Lou Nanguang, Xu Guanying and Lee Sai-feng.
McDonald also directed "Into Love Street", starring Hui Tianci, Chen Huimin, Li Yàn Shan and others.
In addition, "Seven Days of Mistakes" is also being prepared. The director is Zhang Jianting, who won the Best Screenwriter Award for the Academy Award last year.
Zhang Jianting used to be a screenwriter, but this time he had enough energy to be a director by himself, so he joined Oriental Dream Factory with the introduction of Xu Anhua.
Of course, Eric Tsang was worried about letting a screenwriter be the director, but the script of "Seven Days of Mistakes" was good, so he decided to accept the script and change it to the director.
But this time, Zhang Jianting wanted to direct it himself, otherwise he would rather take back the script than sell it.
In desperation, Zeng Zhiwei had to hand over the script of "Seven Days of Mistakes" to Tang Shuxuan.
Although Tang Shuxuan made movies every time she made, her vision was very accurate. Who wouldn’t be famous for Zhang Shuping, Wong Kar-wai and others who had been with her earlier?
After finding Zhang Jianting to take the exam for his basic director skills, Tang Shuxuan immediately made a decision and asked Zhang Jianting to be the director of the play, and the actors were selected by him.
This is where Tang Shuxuan is more intelligent than Pan Yingzi. When the two girls were in the same position, Tang Shuxuan had a more accurate vision and was easier to make decisions.
If it were Pan Yingzi, she would either reject Zhang Jianting or ask Kang Jianfei for advice, and would never allow a young screenwriter to be a director.
Zhang Jianting was not polite either. He chose seven or eight actors in one go, namely Zhong Zhentao, Chung Chuhong, Leslie Cheung, Lee Meifeng, etc.
Not only that, he actually played an important supporting role himself, and also brought the production manager Zeng Zhiwei to guest appearance.
With the "God of Gambling" that Kang Jianfei is preparing, Oriental Dream Factory will film four movies at the beginning of 1983.
The crews were filming at the same time, and the staff behind the scenes couldn't stop at all, and of course, the bonus would be paid more by the end of the year.
In parallel space, "Showing the Seven Days of Mistake" is a low-cost and high-box movie, just like "Happy Ghost", and it is a successful attempt by Run Run Shaw to gradually abandon the blockbuster system.
Unfortunately, because DreamWorks signed Xu Anhua first, Zhang Jianting naturally entered DreamWorks when filming, which caused Shaw Taekwon to lose another good opportunity to sell the box office.
Some are happy and some are sad. With unremitting publicity, the second Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was successfully opened.
Entering the Taiping Theater from Desfu Road West, there is a slightly sloping corridor in the middle.
Under Kang Jianfei's instructions, this corridor has been expanded a lot more with money. Now it has been laid on the red carpet, becoming a place for celebrities to appear.
"Home Imperial" ranked second in the year in the North American box office list last year. After Kang Jianfei's information was gradually disclosed, as a director, he became famous all over the world.
This Hong Kong Film Awards was co-organized by Kang Jianfei's TV station and "Movie Biweekly". With the deliberate publicity of the organizers, it attracted many media reporters from Nanyang and Japan and South Korea, and also made the invitation from the jury of journalists from various countries much easier.
Unlike the second Academy Awards in parallel time and space, which was not held until summer, the momentum was far beyond the past.
Not to mention the movie fans who came to join in the fun, reporters from all walks of life just blocked the road in front of the Taiping Cinema gate.
There is no way, every inch of land in the West Ring Road in Hong Kong is valuable, and even if Kang Jianfei spends money to expand, the space on the side facing the street is very small.
However, the back door environment of Taiping Theater is very good. On the one hand, there are large open spaces, and trees, flowers and plants are planted in the open spaces, making it look like a small garden.
Perhaps because Kang Jianfei is the boss of one of the organizers, Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun were not present, and all of them were sent to him.
However, Liao Yiyuan, the CEO of Yindu Institution, came happily, and Mr. Liao also came with Xia Meng from Bluebird Company. Because of this year's Golden Star Award, Bluebird Company's "Traveling to the Sea of Rage" was nominated the most.
Unfortunately, since the movie was filmed on Hainan Island, both actors and directors use pseudonyms. After winning the award, no one is destined to come to the stage to receive the award in person, so as not to offend the Taiwanese authorities and be banned.
Therefore, if "Traveling to the Sea of Rage" wins several awards, Xia Meng has to go on stage to collect the award, and the award speech has to be said several times.
Among the major film companies, Shaw Brothers has the least number of people coming to the company, even fewer than those from Yindu Institution. Mainly, Shaw Brothers' films have received nominations.
Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are all here and are now waving to the fans. Their movies are mainly nominated for action design, best editing, etc.
The Xu brothers, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and others have much greater chances of winning the award, and are now happily accepting interviews from reporters.
Celebrities from all walks of life appeared one after another, causing commotion from movie fans and reporters. Many fans broke through the obstacles and squeezed over there. The security personnel on the scene were so tired that they sweated heavily before maintaining the scene.
The awards ceremony officially began at 6 pm and lasted until 7:30.
After the award ceremony, all the guests and guests attending the award ceremony will be moved to the Peninsula Hotel, where the organizer will have an Academy Awards dinner.
The entire award ceremony will be broadcast on Fenghuáng TV at 9:30, and only two and a half hours will be left for the TV staff to do post-processing.
Brigitte Lin was absent today. She and Donnie Yen were invited by Songzhu Film and went to Japan to shoot a film but haven't returned.
When Kang Jianfei appeared, it was surprising that he actually walked the red carpet with two women on the left and right, and neither of them were Hong Kong actresses.
The reporters from Taiwan were very excited because the two actresses who appeared with Kang Jianfei were Lin Fengjiao, who was as famous as Brigitte Lin, and the other was Brigitte Lin's jade girl successor Lu Xiuling.
Why do two top actresses in Taiwan suddenly appear with Kang Jianfei at the same time?
The reporters were imaginative for a moment.
In fact, the answer is very simple. Lin Fengjiao has reached a bottleneck in Taiwan. She was invited by Kang Jianfei to play the role of the goddess of gambling girlfriend, and she agreed without thinking much.
Kang Jianfei took Lin Fengjiao on the red carpet, which can be regarded as a warm-up for her development in Hong Kong.
As for Lu Xiuling, she was purely a big shot in Lin Fengjiao's coming to Hong Kong.
After Brigitte Lin faded out of the Taiwanese film and television industry, Qiong Yao has been looking for an actress who can replace Brigitte Lin, and she finally chose Lu Xiuling.
However, just a while ago, Qiong Yao's superstar company went bankrupt. Lu Xiuling felt that she had no future in Taiwan and decided to go to Hong Kong to develop.
After Qiong Yao learned that Lin Fengjiao went north to Hong Kong, she took the initiative to call Kang Jianfei to recommend Lu Xiuling, and then the two women signed into Oriental Entertainment Company together.
To be honest, Kang Jianfei is not optimistic about Lu Xiuling's development in Hong Kong because this woman is so literary.
However, he knew that Lu Xiuling would become popular in the mainland in the next few years, and she also had high musical attainments. She could train her first and send her to the mainland for development in two years.
If this continues, a large number of film companies will inevitably go bankrupt in competition, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall quality of Hong Kong films until a certain theater chain goes bankrupt due to losses.
This is an inevitable process of self-regulation in the film market!
