Kang Jianfei leaned on the sofa, holding this issue of "Movie Biweekly" in his hand and was bored to read.
The magazine commented on "Shaolin Temple" in a colorful way, and compared this movie with Hong Kong kung fu films, highly praised Jet Li's martial arts skills.
However, Kang Jianfei didn't want to see these things. He continued to look through more than ten pages before finally finding the establishment announcement of the first Hong Kong Film Awards.
At present, this "Movie Biweekly" was not bought by Kang Jianfei, but was sent to him along with the magazine and the invitation letter for the Academy Awards ceremony.
Zhao Yazhi came over with a bowl of chicken soup, sat down beside Kang Jianfei and said: Drink the chicken soup while it is hot, and it is specially made for you.
Kang Jianfei stirred the spoon and took a small sip and praised: The craftsmanship has improved.Why do you suddenly remember to make soup for me to drink?
I heard from Wen Bixia that you eat vegetarian food every day when filming in Shaolin Temple.
Zhao Yazhi reached out to touch Kang Jianfei's cheek and said with heartache, "You have been busy doing the late stages after you come back, and you have had a meal without a meal."Look at you, you've lost weight.
Kang Jianfei touched his face and said funny: It's not that exaggerated.
Zhao Yazhi ordered: I don’t care, you have to finish the soup anyway.
Okay, I'll drink it. Kang Jianfei scooped a spoonful of cool air and took it to Zhao Yazhi's mouth and said, Sister Zhi, you can drink it too.
Zhao Yazhi smiled and put the spoon in a corner. After drinking it, she leaned lazily against Kang Jianfei, reached out to fiddle with the invitation letter on the coffee table, and suddenly asked: A Fei, magazines can also hold movie awards, isn’t this government unit doing it?
Kang Jianfei commented: It’s just a group of bold guys. He is not satisfied with the review of the top ten Chinese movies every year. He wants to get a movie award and play with it.
Zhao Yazhi said: I remember the last time I was in Taipei, you also said you wanted to get your own movie award.
Do you still remember Ah?I almost forgot.Kang Jianfei laughed.
Zhao Yazhi smiled with a pursed lips: It turns out that you also have times when you talk big.
Kang Jianfei said: If the movie awards are compared to a football match, then we are players. If I hold the movie awards directly, it is to be a player and a referee. Will other players be willing?"Movie Biweekly" is just my wish to be a pioneer.
Zhao Yazhi said in confusion: What does it have to do with you when you hold the Film Awards in "Movie Biweekly"?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: After they made it, wouldn’t I just snatch it?
Zhao Yazhi said coquettishly: You are talking nonsense again, can you still win the movie award?
Kang Jianfei picked up the invitation, threw it into the trash can, and said: I don’t need to rob it at all, they will come to their door by themselves.
Zhao Yazhi looked at the award ceremony invitation in the trash can and said in surprise: Are you not going to attend?
Why should I go?
Kang Jianfei asked back, and then said, "Not only I won't go, I guess at least half of the invited guests will not participate, and maybe some winners will not appear."What do you think of yourself as "Movie Biweekly"?Just a random movie award or an invitation letter can invite so many celebrities and producers?
Speaking of which, the first Hong Kong Film Awards was really shabby.
Not only are the trophysical productions, without any artistic sense, but the awards are also very limited, with only five events: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenwriter and Best Actor and Actress.
After the first Academy Awards were held, it was basically impossible to handle. The second Academy Awards were delayed for half a year, and it was not until July that the sponsor was found to be held in a hurry. Moreover, the awards were in a row and caused a lot of jokes.
Kang Jianfei is planning to ignore the Hong Kong Film Awards for a year, and wait until he appears as a savior next year and win the TV broadcast rights of the Academy Awards.
The news that "Movie Biweekly" will hold the Hong Kong Film Awards has been heard, and the Hong Kong public has no interest in this matter, while most media and industry insiders regard it as a joke.
A movie magazine that can only be said to be pretty good in sales, actually wants to start a competitive film award by itself?It's simply a big deal of slipping around the world.
Even the stars and directors who received invitations to the award ceremony were hesitating whether to attend, for fear that they would be laughed at when they attended the award ceremony.
The advertisement for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" continues. Ng Mengda and Hui Tianci appear in the advertising posters one after another, but there is a silhouette in the middle that cannot be distinguished from their appearance.
Who will be the male protagonist of "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng"?
While many media speculations and discussions, the newspaper "Oriental Daily" that was the first to publish its advertisement could not be put into it. It posted an article saying that Kang Jianfei had never shown them the full version of the poster, and they didn't know who the male protagonist was.
However, the article was guessing at the end whether Kang Jianfei would be the male lead this time.
The more mysterious Kang Jianfei became, the more people wanted to guess.
Until the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the hero's answer was finally revealed.
……
Zou Wenhuai looked at the advertising poster in the newspaper in a daze. In order to make Jet Li look more mature, Kang Jianfei even asked the makeup artist to rub his beard during the shooting.
But even with a beard, Zou Wenhuai recognized it at a glance. The male protagonist of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in the poster was Jet Li in "Shaolin Temple" which was a box office hit a few days ago.
Zou Wenhuai stared at the newspaper for a long time, and suddenly said to He Guanchang: Kang Jianfei, that a weak boy, won’t he go to mainland China to shoot movies in the first two months, right?
He Guanchang nodded and said: It is very likely.
Zou Wenhuai asked in confusion: Does Kang Jianfei want to completely give up the Taiwan market and go to hug the Communist Party’s thigh?
Jet Li is the male lead, and this "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is not expected to be released in Taiwan, and it is likely that other films from Oriental Dream Factory may even be implicated.
He Guanchang couldn't understand it either, so he shook his head and said: I don't know what he was selling. Maybe he had any secret agreement with the mainland government.
At this time, except for the left-wing film companies, Hong Kong filmmakers were all avoided by the mainland.
It’s not that they hate the mainland, but that they are afraid of being banned by the Taiwan authorities after they are involved in connection with the mainland.
For example, Ann Hui's "Fighting to the Sea of Rage". Although this movie is about Vietnamese, the filming was conducted on Hainan Island.
Just because of the filming in the mainland, although "Fighting to the Sea of Anger" set a new record for Hong Kong art films at the box office, most of the creative team only dared to use pseudonyms.
What’s funny is that at the second Hong Kong Film Awards, "Traveling to the Sea of Anger" won a series of grand prizes, but the winners did not dare to show up for their appearance, for fear of offending the Taiwan authorities.
Only Kang Jianfei dared to do this, because he knew that Taiwan would lift the ban in four or five years at most.
Even if Oriental DreamWorks is banned by Taiwan, it will only take four or five years to make it closer to the Communist Party. It would not be a bad thing.
Like the reactions of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, most people in the film industry and media people, when they learned that the male lead of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was Jet Li, believed that Kang Jianfei gave up the Taiwan market and turned to the mainland's arms.
The Sing Tao Daily combined Kang Jianfei's words on the Hong Kong issue last year, believing that Kang Jianfei is already working for the Communist Party and is a completely pro-communist left-wing filmmaker.
Then another gossip tabloid said that Kang Jianfei was actually a spy sent by the Communist Party to Hong Kong.
Because Kang Jianfei has received various training since childhood, he not only knows how to make movies, but also has good kung fu skills that can kill two gun-carrying robbers in seconds.
This bizarre report is very in line with readers' tastes. This tabloid sales have increased significantly. The content of its report has been cited and reproduced, and has been accepted by many Hong Kong people.
When Kang Jianfei saw the overwhelming news in the newspaper, he suddenly felt like the scene was out of control.
In his imagination, the one who everyone discussed the most was Jet Li Ah. Why did he get fucked into him?
"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" has not been officially released yet, bad news has already been heard from Taiwan.
After Ma Qiao hung up the phone, he hurriedly ran to Kang Jianfei's office, knocked on the door twice, and pushed the door directly into the door after Kang Jianfei agreed.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said to Ma Qiao: Close the door.I came in so urgently, is it because the sky fell outside?
Ma Qiao closed the door and said: News came back from Taiwan just now, saying that "The Young Scary" was stuck when it was submitted for trial at the inspection office.
Kang Jianfei asked: Because why can't we pass the trial?
There is no reason, anyway, it just cannot pass the review. Maqiao urgently said that it should be the response of the Taiwan authorities to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".
Kang Jianfei rubbed his eyebrows and said: It was not a response to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", but because of the random reports from those newspapers.He said that I was an agent sent by the mainland, but it would be strange if Taiwan didn't respond.
Ma Qiao asked: What should I do now?Yu Kanping has already contacted the Bamboo Alliance Gang. The Bamboo Alliance Gang said that he would not be able to help this time. Officials from the Taiwan News Bureau and the Electrical Inspection Department were very active when collecting money in the past, but now they are all hiding and cannot communicate with each other.
Kang Jianfei sighed. This was the worst situation he expected, mainly because Hong Kong's public opinion was out of control.
If it weren't for those disgusting guys writing articles randomly, Taiwan would probably turn a blind eye.
Just like Andy Lau, Lam Zixiang and others went to the mainland to film "Traveling to the Sea of Anger", the Taiwan authorities did not do anything to them.
Tony Leung went to Beijing to film "The King of the Curtains". If he hadn't won the Best Actor Award for this, Taiwan would have thought it would have been a shame.
Looking at Ma Qiao with an anxious look on his face, Kang Jianfei suddenly smiled and said: Don’t be anxious, at worst, you can give up the Taiwan market for the time being.After the Chinese New Year, I went to Taiwan in person to see if I could let it go.
The magazine commented on "Shaolin Temple" in a colorful way, and compared this movie with Hong Kong kung fu films, highly praised Jet Li's martial arts skills.
However, Kang Jianfei didn't want to see these things. He continued to look through more than ten pages before finally finding the establishment announcement of the first Hong Kong Film Awards.
