At the Beijing Hotel, Li Hanxiang carefully wiped a pen holder and said: Mr. Kang, thank you this time, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to find investment.
It's just a simple task.Kang Jianfei smiled and felt a little moved.
Li Hanxiang was a general under Run Run Shaw back then. He betrayed Shaw Brothers and ran to Taiwan. With the support of Cathay Pacific and the Federal theater chain, he established his own National League film kingdom in Taiwan.
The Taiwanese film industry in the 1960s can be said to be the world of Guolian Film. At that time, most of the Taiwanese film stars were cultivated by Li Hanxiang.
Unfortunately, Guolian Pictures had to declare bankruptcy because it was not well managed. In the end, its sets and distribution channels in Taiwan were all inherited by the newly emerging Jiahe, providing important resources for the growth of Jiahe.
The former Taiwanese film overlord could only return to Hong Kong in shame and make a living by making erotic movies for Shaw Brothers.In order to make a living by making a movie, I had to go north to cooperate with the mainland, but was banned by the Taiwan authorities.
After filming two movies, the Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress and Wang Hexian from Macau who strongly invited Li Hanxiang to shoot the films in the north died of illness one after another. Li Hanxiang had another conflict with mainland film factories, resulting in no films to shoot and even announced that he would be detained from now on.
Li Hanxiang, a famous director and film tycoon, has become a sad thing now. In order to invest in the new film "Fire Dragon", he had to look down and ask for money from the junior Kang Jianfei. He ran five times a while ago but didn't see Kang Jianfei himself. In the end, he asked Brigitte Lin for help.
The antique furniture that Li Hanxiang bought has now been moved to the warehouse outside Beizhimen, and is ready to be transported back to Hong Kong after filming as props.
The small items I have made are all obtained from Kang Jianfei's sharing of the spoils. While Li Hanxiang helped to identify them, he was considered to be closer to the relationship and chatting with Kang Jianfei.
Hey, Li Hanxiang suddenly stared at the wooden pen holder in his hand. After a moment, he rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly, Mr. Kang, you have found a real good product.
Kang Jianfei asked: This pen holder is more valuable than those porcelain cups and bowls?
Where can antiques be measured by money? Li Hanxiang said speechlessly, although the Ming Xuande official kiln chicken heart bowl in your hand is a treasure, it is not small in number.This pen holder is different, unique in the world.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: How powerful is this, can you sell for tens of millions of dollars?
Well, no one is willing to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars.Li Hanxiang said.
Then you also say that the whole world is unique.
Kang Jianfei didn't understand the market at all, and he didn't know that the price of Chinese antiques at this time was much lower than that in later generations. After all, the price has not been hyped up by mainland players and international auction houses.
Li Hanxiang sighed and said: I didn't pay attention to it before. Now I wiped the dirt on the cylinder body and found out that this pen holder was used by Qin Shaoyou.
Who is Qin Shaoyou?This name sounds so familiar.Kang Jianfei humbly asked for advice.
Li Hanxiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: If the love between the two people lasted for a long time, how could it be day and night?
Kang Jianfei then reacted and said with a smile: You just talk about Qin Guan.
This pen holder should have been given to Qin Shaoyou by a woman.Li Hanxiang said as he threw the pen holder to Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei took it and saw that the words "The Fairy of Magpie Bridge" were engraved on it. Before the signature was written, the words "Gived to Jun Shaoyou" were written, and the tube was also carved with the mythical story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Unfortunately, this pen holder has been used as a grain cup for many years to scoop grains, and the mouth of the tube has been worn out to the point.
When Li Hanxiang saw Kang Jianfei looking at the mouth of the tongue depressedly, he smiled and comforted: Don’t feel sorry for you, it may not be Qin Shaoyou’s own. The owner of the pen holder may only be the same as Qin Guan or the same name as Qin Guan. After all, "The Fairy of the Magpie Bridge" can be used as a poem about love between men and women.
I don’t care. I don’t have much interest in this kind of thing anyway. Kang Jianfei turned around and asked, “Director Li has any plans after filming “Fire Dragon”?
Li Hanxiang shook his head and said: I haven’t thought about it yet.
Kang Jianfei asked: Have you ever thought about finishing the filming of "The Legend of Cixi"?
Li Hanxiang was shocked and said: I think, of course, I think, is Mr. Kang interested in investing?
Investing is OK, but I have a requirement.Kang Jianfei said.
"The Legend of Cixi" is divided into five parts: "Burning the Old Summer Palace", "Political Affairs Behind the Curtain", "Restoration of the Tongzhi Zhongxing", "Reform and Reform" and "Eight-Nation Alliance". Now Li Hanxiang only filmed the first two films, but it was stranded due to insufficient funds. He naturally wanted to finish all the movies.
What is the requirement, Mr. Kang said.Li Hanxiang said anxiously.
Kang Jianfei said: I want to buy the new Kunlun.
Li Hanxiang asked in silence: New Kunlun is just a small company, can it also attract Mr. Kang's eyes?
Kang Jianfei said bluntly: I just want the copyright of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Direction of the State". Whether to sell it depends on Director Li's meaning.
New Kunlun has nothing except the copyright of a few movies, and no one bought it before if he wanted to sell it.
But if Li Hanxiang really wants to sell it, he is a little reluctant. After all, this is a company he founded a few years ago to make a comeback.
Li Hanxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: Since you like Mr. Kang, then I have anything else to say, just sell it.
Then let’s decide what the specific price is. When Director Li returns to Hong Kong, someone will discuss it with you.Kang Jianfei said as he packed up the jars and jars he had obtained from.
Beijing Airport.
Gong Li asked reluctantly: When will you come back?
Don't worry, I can't wait long, Kang Jianfei patted Gong Li's back of the hand. I contacted Principal Li of the Central Academy of Drama and said that your performance exam results are second. As long as the college entrance examination cultural courses are not too bad, I will definitely be admitted. Then I will go to the Central Academy of Drama to find you.
Well, thank you.Gong Li said gratefully that she had no confidence in her cultural course exam.
While Gong Li's wave of goodbye, Kang Jianfei boarded the plane back to Hong Kong, and at this time, "Metamorphosis" caused heated discussions in both the mainland and Hong Kong.
It can be said that from the perspective of investment or content, "Metamorphosis" is an unprecedented TV program.
Since the end of the Sino-British negotiations and the determination that Hong Kong will return in 1997, Hong Kong people are curious and afraid of the mainland.
Although Feng Huáng Station has programs to introduce the mainland from time to time, they all look at it from a large perspective and have not been very meticulously narrowed to specific families.
"Metamorphosis" provides such a platform that allows Hong Kong audiences to get a close understanding of the situation of ordinary people in the mainland.
After the first episode of "Metamorphosis" was broadcast, the program immediately caused heated discussion, and even the talk show on the wireless station used it as a topic.
Hong Kong's views on this are divided into several types. One is to mock the poverty of the mainland, believing that after Hong Kong's return, the wealth of Hong Kong people will be dragged down by the poor mainland; the other is to believe that mainlanders are also good, and the mainlanders in the film are very simple and kind, unlike the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers like in the movie; the other is to praise mainlanders for their hard work, or satirize mainlanders for their lack of knowledge, etc.
This is the view of Hong Kong audiences on mainlanders. Some media also focus their perspective on the Hong Kong bewitching teenagers in the film, believing that young people in Hong Kong are ignorant and only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. The educational situation of young people is very worrying.
Anyway, "Metamorphosis" became popular. On the third day after Kang Jian flew back to Hong Kong, "Metamorphosis" aired the second episode, with a terrifying 57% increase of 28 percentage points compared to the first episode.
After the second episode was aired, "Metamorphosis" seems to have become a social topic. In general, Hong Kong people's views on this are divided into four types: praise, criticism, neutrality and soy sauce.
The left-wing newspaper Wenhui Po commented on the program: "Metamorphosis" strengthened the civil relations between the mainland and Hong Kong and enhanced the mutual understanding between the people of the two places.It can be seen from the film that although the mainland is backward in its economy, it is not as advertised by reactionary media, and it will not kill people by class struggle at any time.People create wealth with labor.
Diligent, simple and full of hope... In the program, the bad boys in Hong Kong became sensible little by little under the influence of the working people in the mainland, and the poor boys in the mainland also opened their horizons in Hong Kong and learned a lot of new knowledge... Mainland people and Hong Kong people are Chinese compatriots, and brothers should help each other instead of suspicion and reject each other...
The right-wing newspapers' evaluations are completely opposite: Feng Huáng TV produced the program "Metamorphosis" with a practical and sinister intention, and the selection of two teenagers in the film reveals their purpose.It is obvious that the planner of the program chose an excellent rural boy, using diligence and simplicity to conceal the poverty, ignorance, selfishness and greed of mainlanders, and using a young and dandy to represent the new generation of Hong Kong, wantonly smearing the image of Hong Kong people... The transformation of the young and dandy boys in the mainland is actually a metaphor that although Hong Kong is rich, there are problems with morality and quality, and it needs to be corrected by the mainland. To put it more bluntly, after GCD wants to take back Hong Kong, it will undergo a major transformation in Hong Kong, just like the original WG movement...
As for newspapers of neutral nature like Ming Pao, they completely abandon ideology and evaluate "Metamorphosis" from the perspective of human nature and teenager growth.
Until the third episode of "Metamorphosis", the finale of the first story, was broadcast, and the ratings had risen to 65%, comparable to the ratings of the beauty pageant competition.
Fulinmen Restaurant.
Xu Jiasheng, president of the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency, held a wine glass and said: Mr. Kang, the program "Metamorphosis" is done very well, and the central leaders all praised Ah!
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It’s just a show, but there are many people scolding him.
Xu Jiasheng shook his head and sighed: Most of the fear of Hong Kong people about the mainland comes from strangers and unknowns. "Metamorphosis" just provides this opportunity.But...
But what?Kang Jianfei asked with a frown.
Xu Jiasheng said: The leader said that when doing a show, don’t point to the poorest places in the mainland to shoot, you can choose a family in the city for exchange.
Well, if you accidentally make your leader unhappy, Kang Jianfei is completely speechless.
It's just a simple task.Kang Jianfei smiled and felt a little moved.
