Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Four hundred and twenty-three [the draw

There is a long red carpet outside the Taiping Theater, and the hosts on the other end are still Zheng Zeshi and Zhang Mary. [;Starting]

Mary Zhang had just sent off Mecca, Zhang Aijia, and Xu Guanjie, and said to the Phoenix TV camera with the microphone: "The bald detective just shared with us the behind-the-scenes story, and the next person who is about to set foot on the red carpet is Crew members. Mr. Kang Jianfei, Mr. Cheng Long, Miss Lin Qingxia, Mr. Deng Jingsheng, Mr. Zheng Guangming..."

As the voice of Zhang Marie came out, the three Mitsubishi RVs stopped at the other end of the red carpet in turn, and the nominated cast members appeared one after another. The director Kang Jianfei walked in the forefront, followed by the hero and heroine Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, as well as other behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew. After stepping on the red carpet, everyone stopped and waved from time to time, and the lights on both sides of the red carpet lit up.

Hearing the tidal wave of cheers from the fans, Mecca, who was about to enter the theater, sighed, "This voice is much louder than what we had just now."

"It's a lot of pressure." Xu Guanjie said worriedly, he and Cheng Long's box office influence in Hong Kong is not equal, and the two have many fans in Japan, so it is inevitable that there will be comparisons.

Zhang Aijia didn't speak. She was about to officially leave Xinyicheng in two weeks.

Since it was released after the Gregorian calendar year, it did not receive any nominations this time, and could only compete for the next Academy Awards. Mecca, Zhang Aijia and Xu Guanjie were all guests invited by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.

When the crew members walked across the red carpet, they came to a small makeshift stage. Zheng Zeshi said: "Today's scene is very rare. Excellent filmmakers from DreamWorks and Golden Harvest Films gathered together as members of the same movie."

"Yeah, this time seems to be the first time for Mr. Kang and Brother Long to work together," Zhang Marie handed the microphone to Cheng Long and asked, "Brother Long thinks it is pleasant to cooperate with Mr. Kang?"

Cheng Long is a person who is used to talking about scenes. He said with a smile: "Mr. Kang's level of filmmaking is very, very good. This story was first proposed by him. At the same time, Mr. Kang respects the ideas of other members of the crew very much and can brainstorm ideas. Co-creation, we are very happy to work together this time, and hope to have the opportunity to make movies together in the future.”

Zheng Zeshi immediately asked Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, Cheng Long wanted to cooperate with you again just now. Do you have any plans for this?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It depends on whether Boss Zou will let him go. Aaron is the pillar of Jiahe."

Mary Zhang said to Lin Qingxia again, "Miss Lin. Do you have the confidence to win the trophy for the actress today?"

Lin Qingxia took the microphone and said: "Actually, I was very surprised to be nominated for the best actress. After all, it is a commercial action film, and there is very little room for the actors to develop their acting skills."

The two hosts chatted for a few more words, before squeezing the time and saying, "We wish the crew a good result here. Below are members of the crew, Director Fang Yuping, Miss Xu Suyin, Mr. Wang Zhengfang, Mr. Shi Yangping..."

When the crew walked through the red carpet, Kang Jianfei had already dragged Lin Qingxia's hand into the Taiping Theater. Sitting in the front row bored waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.

Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia sat side by side and chatted intimately, occasionally chatting and laughing with Cheng Long and others next to them. After a while, Fu Qi and Shi Hui came in and sat down in the back row of Kang Jianfei, along with their daughter Fu Mingxian.

Fu Mingxian will turn 14 in a few months, much taller than the last time I saw him. She lay on the back of Kang Jianfei's seat and said in surprise, "What a coincidence, Big Brother Kang is also there."

"What does it look like yelling? If I knew, I wouldn't let you come." Shi Hui taught her a lesson and pulled her daughter back to her seat.

The background of the couple behind is not small. Fu Qi is the current general manager of Yindu Institution and the owner of Zhongyuan Film Company (Zhongyuan Film Production Company is a satellite company of Yindu Institution. Both are produced by Zhongyuan Film); and Shi Hui He is currently the director of the actor's office of Yindu Agency and the chairman of the South China Film Workers Association.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are both powerful figures in the Hong Kong leftist film company. Kang Jianfei has no conflict of interest with them, and they had a good relationship with each other before.

Kang Jianfei turned his head and said with a smile, "Miss Fu is the time to be lively and cute, so don't be too strict."

Shi Hui said, "Girls can't do without teaching."

Fu Mingxian shrugged his nose, and suddenly came close to Kang Jianfei's ear and whispered, "Brother Kang, I have passed the audition, don't tell my parents."

Kang Jianfei couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was Zeng Zhiwei who was planning the filming and was going to be released around the summer vacation, and the heroines in it were basically auditioned newcomers. There are three advantages in this way. First, the audition of new actors is a kind of disguised propaganda. Secondly, the salary of new actors is much lower, and the third is to give the audience a sense of freshness.

In fact, although under the guise of auditioning new actresses, two of the three heroines are artists of Oriental Entertainment Company, and there is only one spot left for ordinary girls who come to audition.

Fu Qi didn't talk about his daughter, but asked Kang Jianfei, "The film that Mr. Kang invested in seems to be stopped?"

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

Fu Qi said, "I went to the mainland a few years ago, and the deputy director of the North Film Studio, Jiang, must have made a good movie. It's a pity to stop filming halfway through."

"We will continue shooting." Kang Jianfei laughed, but didn't say much. Although he agrees with Xu Ke's idea of ​​making a trilogy, he does not agree with Shi Nansheng's budget. After all, the shooting cost of 50 million for a single movie is too expensive.

Converting 50 million Hong Kong dollars into US dollars, it is only more than 6 million, which is not enough for one film, but the problem is that the cost of filming in the mainland can be greatly reduced.

Now all the films that are shot in the mainland can only be filmed in cooperation with the mainland. When shooting a movie, you can mobilize a large number of mainland film and television resources, and you only need to pay a small amount of fees. For example, photographers and actors in the mainland do not need to pay them, and at most you spend a little money when you invite extras.

Of course, for the films produced in this way, the rights to show in the mainland belong to the mainland co-production companies, which is mandatory and cannot be changed.

After Kang Jianfei has formulated a shooting plan, he will ask someone to make a new 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 plan of the second and third parts will be put on hold indefinitely.

Fu Qi's question was just a pretext, and the next 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 Chinese film. I wonder if Mr. Kang is interested in participating?"

The so-called South China Film Workers Federation is the stronghold of leftist filmmakers, and it is an organization that is opposed to freedom.

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

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are both high-level executives of the South China Film Workers Association. They have long wanted La Kang Jianfei to join the association, but there is no suitable time. Now it is just the opportunity to test Kang Jianfei.

If Kang Jianfei agrees to participate in their activities, then there is the possibility of further development. As long as Kang Jianfei can be drawn into the South China Film Workers Association, the power of the leftist film in Hong Kong will be greatly enhanced.

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

Shi Hui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Next time there is an event, I will invite Mr. Kang to participate. Then Mr. Kang will have to show his face."

Kang Jianfei said in a perfunctory manner: "Definitely, definitely."

Shi Hui added: "I went to Beijing/Beijing with my brother for a meeting a few years ago, and the leaders appreciated Mr. Kang's films. Now the mainland is planning to increase the number of foreign films admitted every year. If Mr. Kang is interested in selling the film, From the mainland, I can act as an intermediary to communicate on my behalf.”

Shi Hui also has another position as General Manager of the Overseas Chinese Trade Department of Yindu Institution~lightnovelpub.net~ manages some of the distribution and procurement matters of Yindu Institution. Every year, Yindu Institution sells movies to the mainland, and she handles the selection of films. Send film.

In order to draw Kang Jianfei into the Left Filmmakers Association, Shi Hui actually began to lure him, which shows that she attaches great importance to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei just pretended not to understand what Shi Hui was talking about. He laughed and said, "DreamWorks' films are mainly commercial, so I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the mainland's artistic concept."

Fu Qi interjected: "Mr. Kang's is not bad. To promote the revolutionary spirit and patriotism, he will definitely pass the film review."

Kang Jianfei didn't want to continue talking on this topic, he said, "I'll go back and ask the Marketing and Distribution Department and ask them to come up with a plan."

Kang Jianfei's remarks are purely perfunctory, and the publishing department will contact Shi Hui at that time. Anyway, there are various opinions.

Shi Hui, however, took Kang Jianfei's words seriously, and planned to contact the distribution department of DreamWorks in a few days.
