Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Two hundred and seven [Lian Wu and Cao C

Xu Anhua's skin is very rough and her appearance is average, but her eyes are very sharp, and with her short hair, she exudes a capable temperament. [;Starting]

This is the third time Xu Anhua has met Kang Jianfei. The first time was when she was filming. Kang Jianfei went to the crew to look for Zhao Yazhi to play the role. At that time, Kang Jianfei was just an assistant director who had just been valued by Wang Tianlin; the second time they met was in Taipei. On the plane to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Kang Jianfei has transformed into a famous director and film company boss.

After Xu Anhua handed over the script to Kang Jianfei, he began to take a serious look at the famous young man in front of him with some curiosity. Today's Kang Jianfei has a little more temperament than when they met last year, and Xu Anhua can't tell what this temperament is, or is it the temperament of the so-called successful people.

Kang Jianfei read the script very quickly and read the entire script in just over 20 minutes. Although he had planned to invest in this art film, Kang Jianfei still pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Ms. Xu, I said the last time I met, that in my eyes, a movie that can make money is a good movie. If this film is released, I am afraid not many Hong Kong audiences like to watch it.”

to be rejected again...

Although Xu Anhua was mentally prepared before coming, she was still a little disappointed to hear what Kang Jianfei said.

Seeing her disappointed expression, Kang Jianfei suddenly laughed again: "But, it's still okay to win this movie. For Sister Zhi's sake, I'll accept the script. How much budget are you going to ask for?"

Xu Anhua said: "Not much, 1.5 million."

Due to the rise in prices and labor, the cost of film production is also rising. Today's 1.5 million investment is almost equivalent to the 1 million Kang Jianfei made when he was filming. It is conceivable how fast Hong Kong's economy has developed in the past two years.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, but the hero and heroine are up to me to decide."

Xu Anhua felt a little dissatisfied when he heard it, but then he thought about it, since Kang Jianfei was rushing to win the prize. Naturally, he wanted to use this film to support the actors of DreamWorks, which is also a reasonable thing.

Xu Anhua asked, "Who does Mr. Kang ask to be the hero and heroine?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Zhou Run will play Hu Yue, Zhong Chuhong will play Shen Qing, Hui Yinghong will play Li Lijun, and Wu Mengda will play Asan."

Xu Anhua was quite satisfied with Zhou Runfa, Wu Mengda and Zhong Chuhong, but the female No. 2 actor didn't quite fit her liking. He said, "Hui Yinghong has always been a hit girl. Is she competent in this kind of literary film?"

Kang Jianfei said: "In terms of acting, there are no bad actors, only bad directors. Madam Xu, do you know what I mean?"

Kang Jianfei is an investor. Xu Anhua could only give in and say, "Okay. It's just the four of them."

Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.

More than a dozen passengers in rustic sportswear came out. Along the way, he chatted non-stop, attracting a lot of people's eyes and onlookers.

These people all spoke Mandarin, apparently from the mainland, and they had two or three bald heads. Looks really eye-catching.

This group of people is the Chinese Wushu Exchange Group. The deputy head is Yu Hai, the Wushu coach, and the head of the group is Zhang Ling, an official of the Hong Kong and Macau Office of the State Council.

Yu Hai is the one who played Tanzong there. This person went to perform with the Chinese Wushu Troupe in the 1960s. He has visited more than 30 countries before and after. He is now the captain and head coach of the Shan/Dong Wushu Team.

This time, the deputy head of the Chinese Wushu Exchange Group was originally the captain of the Beijing/Beijing team. Unexpectedly, Duke Deng still remembered Yu Hai and appointed him to be the head of the group.

this movie. It was discussed by the Central Committee last year and invited Zhang Xinyan, director of the Great Wall Film Company of Hong Kong, to shoot in the name of the State/Ministry of the People's Republic of China. The purpose is to increase contact with the outside world through this film and improve China in the hearts of people in other Asian countries. impression.

Zhang Xinyan started casting for the film last year, and filming only started two months ago. Under the careful work, the progress is only two-thirds.

Due to the tight pressure from the central government, Zhang Xinyan had to stop filming and release people in the middle, and resume filming when Li Lianjie and Yu Hai returned from Hong Kong to exchange performances.

The people who came to the airport to pick up the martial arts troupe were from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency and the Great Wall Film Company. In the end, more than a dozen people left the airport in the Great Wall Company's filming car.

"Wow, this is Hong Kong, there are so many high-rise buildings."

"There are so many cars, but there are fewer bicycles than Beijing. Do Hong Kong people not ride bicycles when they go out?"

"Look at that car without a roof, and it runs so fast!"

"..."

In the martial arts exchange group, more than half of the martial arts athletes came out for the first time, lying behind the car window chatting and talking.

"Quiet, quiet!" Zhang Ling, the head of the regiment, was so quarrelled by these teenage boys that he shouted several times before he greeted everyone and said, "Remember, the martial arts exchange group is the representative of the party. For those who come to communicate with the government, your words and deeds represent the dignity and decency of the country. Therefore, when you arrive at the hotel later, it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask Coach Yu and me. Damage the property of the hotel. During the Wushu exchange visit, it is strictly forbidden to accept gifts from Hong Kong compatriots without permission. If others really want to give them, all gifts must be handed in...

As soon as Zhang Ling spoke on the phone, the martial arts athletes who had been making a fuss like a sparrow just now sat upright and did not look sideways, just like monks who had attained the Taoist meditation.

After arriving at the hotel, the martial arts team members were arranged in various rooms. The Xinhua branch handed over an invitation to Zhang Ling and said, "Hong Kong compatriots know that you are coming and invite you to the premiere of the movie."

Although Zhang Ling is an official of the Hong Kong and Macau Office, he usually only receives some news about Hong Kong and Macau sent by Xinhua News Agency. It is also the first time for him to come to Hong Kong. He got the invitation and asked curiously, "What is a movie premiere?"

A comrade from Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch explained: "It's a celebratory event when a well-made film is shown for the first time."

Zhang Ling thought it was very strange that a ceremony was also held for the movie release, and he secretly laughed at the extravagance of Hong Kong people. However, he is a government official, and he will not open his mouth casually, but start to read the invitation card.

It wasn't until he saw Kang Jianfei's name that Zhang Ling asked in surprise, "Is that Kang Jianfei who got the internal reference?"

The comrade from the Hong Kong branch nodded and said, "It's him. His new film premieres the day after tomorrow, and all members of the entire martial arts exchange group are invited to participate."

Zhang Ling asked curiously, "How could he take the initiative to invite us?"

The comrade smiled bitterly and said, "How do I know? He is the boss of a film company, so it stands to reason that he will try his best to avoid getting involved with you."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Since no one else is afraid, of course we can't spoil the fun." After speaking, Zhang Lingchong, deputy head of the team, Yu Haidao, said, "Coach Yu, let the players rest tonight, don't let them run around, there will be a martial arts exchange show tomorrow, Go to the venue in the morning to get acquainted with the venue, and officially perform in the afternoon. There is no task the day after tomorrow, you can take everyone around Hong Kong, but pay attention to the impact and don’t lose people. There will be a movie premiere in the evening, everyone will go together See a movie……"

When the two were talking, more than a dozen young martial arts players were surrounding Li Lianjie and asked, "Little Li, you are the only one in the team who has been to Hong Kong. Tell us what's interesting here?"

Li Lianjie said with a bitter face: "I have said it many times. I was only 8 years old when I came to Hong Kong last time. How can I still remember it clearly?"

Team member Gao Hong said: "I can remember things at the age of 8, so let's remember a little bit."

Li Lianjie said: "I really forgot..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Hai, who had a shaved head, pushed open the door and said, "There will be a performance tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will take you to see a movie in Hong Kong..."

"Oh!!!!" The team members cheered collectively.

On July 26, 1981, the premiere was held at the Golden Princess Cinema.

At the same time, there was a strange incident in the Hong Kong film industry that broke the glasses of countless people:

In order to snipe Princess Jin, Shao Brothers and Jiahe Cinemas, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, two former friends and now mortal enemies, actually announced that they have joined forces.

Produced by Shaw Brothers and directed by Yuan Heping, a week after its release in Golden Harvest Cinemas, it was suddenly promoted and released in Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest theaters at the same time. This movie, which had only 10,000 box office in the parallel space, had already won 6.47 million box office before its release.

It was scheduled to premiere on the same day, and a grand premiere was also held~lightnovelpub.net~ It was also Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Kang Jianfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the news. Shaw Brothers and Jiahe had an obvious idea to use Yuan Heping's against Chen Rongmei Investment, Wu Yusen's against Kang Jianfei's against Mecca and against Zeng Zhiwei.

The three largest cinema chains in Hong Kong, now Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Alliance Wu Kangcao, have naturally become the topic of tracking and reporting by the entertainment media.

In the first round of the theater battle, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest won a complete victory, because Wu Yusen's box office was only over 4 million, which was a lot less than the box office.

The second round of the theater battle was Cheng Long's. During this period of time, the two films have also fought fiercely in the publicity war. TVB has put Cheng Long on several TV shows in a row, and the three girls, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, also frequently appear on LiTV as the "Dream Three Girls". .

Beauty is always more attractive, let alone three stunning beauties. When Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, and Zhong Chuhong appeared as cover girls for the first time at the same time, they were all sold out in that issue. And the portraits and propaganda posters of the three women are now flying all over the street, and they can be bought for only one dollar each.
