The director of "Arang's Story" should have been Johnnie To. Now Johnnie To is a small shareholder of Vientiane Pictures. Kang Jianfei is rushing to write the script of this movie, and there is no psychological burden at all. Anyway, it is natural to suppress his competitors.
Moreover, there have been too many changes in this world. If Kang Jianfei did not write "Alang's Story", then this movie would probably not exist.
Because the creation process of Hong Kong movies is not as standard as Hollywood, many movies are inspired by someone by chance, and then they will be drawn up after they have been discussed with others.
Or the producer or director thinks that a certain type of film is interesting, so he attracts people to discuss it, and finally everyone pieced together the script.
The script of "Arang's Story" was created by Chow Yun-fat and the other two, and then polished by Johnnie To.
Now that Chow Yun-fat and Li Ming have been taken to Korea by Kang Jianfei to shoot a movie, how can they have time to create scripts?
Moreover, even if you have time to write a script, it is impossible to discuss it with the original two people, and it is even more impossible to let Johnnie To participate in the final touch.
In other words, if Kang Jianfei did not invest in filming "Alang's Story", then this good film would not appear again in this time and space.
In the next few days, Kang Jianfei recalled the plot of "A Lang's Story" while writing the script while filming "Tang Bohu's Stories".
It was soon time to be the day when the Hong Kong Film Directors Association was established, and Kang Jianfei attended the first conference as a member of the association.
Speaking of which, it was a conference, which was just dozens of Hong Kong film directors gathered together to have tea and chat.
At the beginning, he was elected as the president. Since a group of old directors such as Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan have not yet joined the association, Kang Jianfei has achieved the greatest achievements among the directors present and was unanimously elected as the president of the association.
Kang Jianfei refused directly. He didn't like to have a lot of positions on him. In the end, Wu Siyuan, the initiator of the association, became the first president.
Since he is unwilling to be the president, Kang Jianfei is even more disdainful of being elected as vice president, executive committee member, etc.
If an international director like Kang Jianfei is an ordinary member, can you let other official directors feel at ease?In the end, Kang Jianfei became an honorary consultant to the Directors Association.
After the meeting, Kang Jianfei and Wu Siyuan were having tea together and said: Old Wu Ah, our association is still too small now.Look at the American Directors' Guild, including film directors, TV drama directors, program directors, evening party directors, and stage play directors, so that they can have influence and challenge the film company.
Wu Siyuan smiled and said: You are the boss of a film company. Are you not afraid that the Directors Association will make your company dilemma if it grows bigger?
Kang Jianfei shrugged: Before becoming a boss, I was a director first.
Wu Siyuan sighed: I have thought about what you said, but the situation in Hong Kong is different.Those stage drama directors are okay, but TV drama directors, advertising directors, variety show directors are all eaten by the TV station, so they cannot join the director association at will.
The problem Wu Siyuan mentioned actually exists in the film director a few years ago.
At that time, a powerful film director was also controlled by a large film company. He said he was an independent director, but if you were disobedient, you would not be independent.
In other words, the increase in theaters in the past few years has enabled directors to break away from the control of large companies and have the environmental foundation for the establishment of this director association.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: What you are talking about is TVB, I'm afraid you are talking about wireless TVB.The directors of TV series and entertainment programs under my command are now signed with Oriental Entertainment Company, and the specific film contracts are signed with Oriental TV Production Company. They are completely free to enter and exit, and they can join the director association at any time.
Wu Siyuan asked: Are you not afraid that they will join the Directors Association and rely on the strength of the association to treat you better?
Kang Jianfei said indifferently: If you are a capable person in my company, those who do not ask me will be treated better.And those who are incapable, since you can’t create more benefits for the company, it’s enough for me not to fire you, and I still want to raise my salary?
Wu Siyuan could see that Kang Jianfei was not in good faith.
His TV station and TV production company's operating models are very advanced and standardized, while the operation management of wireless TVB is very old-fashioned and rigid, and he has been exploiting employees.
If TV directors are really attracted to the association, I'm afraid TVB will be in chaos. This is just to disgust Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua.
Nowadays, TVB is the producer who is the boss in filming. The salary of the directors below is similar to that of coolies. Those who have the ability and chance are thinking about changing careers and making movies. If you don’t want better treatment, it’s fake.
Oriental TV Production Company implements a dual-track system, which retains the main mode of filming and broadcasting while filming and director-running after filming.
The former is to ensure that TV series are broadcast every day, and the cost and losses are minimized; the latter is to produce high-quality dramas and ensure that the series of Oriental TV production company can be broadcast on TV and Macau TV, but can also be sold to Taiwan, Singapore, mainland China, even Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.
In general, the supervision system is more suitable for the actual situation in Hong Kong and can greatly reduce costs.
The cost of filming series by Kang Jianfei's Oriental TV Production Company has always remained high. If more than 6 series were not sold to overseas TV stations in one year, then Dongshi Company will definitely lose money.
Since its establishment, Oriental TV Production Company has been in a loss state for two years, and at other times it has made a slight profit, and sometimes it even needs to make up for its performance by shooting advertisements for others.
However, recently the company has been talking to Japanese TV stations about the copyright of the Voice. If the copyright of the Voice is sold, Dongshi Company will make a big profit.
Although Kang Jianfei's bad intentions were, his words were righteous and began to guide Wu Siyuan's thinking direction: Lao Wu, what do you think is the main function of the Film Association?
Wu Siyuan said: Promote the development of Hong Kong films, support new directors, and safeguard the interests of directors.
It was very good, Kang Jianfei nodded and said, if Hong Kong films want to continue to develop, new and excellent directors must continue to join.Once the Hong Kong film market is in a downturn one day, some of the older generation of directors retire, some go to Hollywood to find a way out, and new directors lose their growth environment, then the director will be incompetent.Once there is no new blood, Hong Kong films will be over. I think supporting new directors is the most important job of the Directors Association.
Wu Siyuan was a little scared by Kang Jianfei's statement and said in a deep voice: The market for Hong Kong films is in a downturn, so this situation may not be easy to occur.
If it is not easy to appear, it does not mean it will not appear. Didn’t it happen once in Hong Kong films in the 1960s?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said that he didn't have to predict the Southeast Asian economic crisis in the 1990s, because Hong Kong films had a decline more than 20 years ago.
In the 1950s and early and mid-1960s, Hong Kong films also flourished, and at that time there were more cinemas in Hong Kong than they are now.
As a result, anti-China waves broke out in many Southeast Asian countries, and even the only Chinese university in Nanyang was forced to stop it. Hong Kong films, literature and comics that were best-selling in Nanyang were devastatingly hit.
Since then, Hong Kong films have been slowing down for a full ten years before they finally revived, and the rise of Taiwanese films has also been caused.
The reason why Hong Kong films can quickly revive is because the film talents have not been cut off, and a large number of directors who have returned from studying abroad have joined, which has supported the glory of Hong Kong films in the 1980s.
Kang Jianfei continued: Where does the new director come from? There are three main ways for new directors in the Hong Kong film industry to take office: 1. Returning from studying in famous overseas film schools, 2. Being a job at a TV station, 3. Being a step-by-step from a small worker, a field reporter, and an associate director on the set.It is not easy for new directors to become famous in these three ways. I think the Directors Association should create more opportunities for them.For example, regular exchange activities are held to give young directors the opportunity to communicate and contact with famous directors, and have good ideas or good scripts, and can also make movies.Even if you can't direct independently all at once, it's an opportunity to give the director who recommends him to be an associate director and executive director.Those advertising directors and karaoke directors may also be talented, and the Directors Association can provide them with a chance to enter.
Wu Siyuan nodded involuntarily and said: What you said makes sense.
Kang Jianfei said: As long as the director has sufficient talent reserves, Hong Kong films will have a better chance of scrambling to survive when they encounter a crisis.
Wu Siyuan echoed, and Kang Jianfei continued: Also, don’t you think there is a big problem behind the prosperity of Hong Kong films now?
Wu Siyuan said: What are the problems?
Kang Jianfei asked: What type of film is the most expensive and easiest to shoot in Hong Kong films?
Wu Siyuan thought for a while and said: Low-cost comedy.
That's right, Kang Jianfei smiled. Whenever a big comedy comes out, the good ideas in it will be used by other screenwriters and directors. Anyway, all kinds of jokes are put together to make a movie.Now even the comedy films of the Xu brothers often have many funny jokes pieced together.There are many funny plots of comedy films that have nothing to do with the main plot. Just because it makes the audience laugh, the director piles them in it.I'm not saying it well. Many of these comedy movies are first thought of as funny as before, and then let the screenwriter write the script together.This is a very unhealthy state for the entire film industry.We must constantly discover new directors. Only when new directors have passion and innovation will they force those who have become famous to avoid making up for the numbers.
Wu Siyuan picked up the teacup and drank it twice. He felt a little dizzy. He was clearly talking about the Directors Association just now, so why did he just talk about the future development of Hong Kong films?
No matter what, Wu Siyuan still thinks Kang Jianfei's words make sense. He is planning to absorb advertising directors, television directors, and stage play directors in the next two or three years after the Directors Association gets on track.
Moreover, there have been too many changes in this world. If Kang Jianfei did not write "Alang's Story", then this movie would probably not exist.
Because the creation process of Hong Kong movies is not as standard as Hollywood, many movies are inspired by someone by chance, and then they will be drawn up after they have been discussed with others.
