Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Two hundred and thirty-one [Learn from D

The news that Kang Jianfei won 7 awards in this trip to Taipei was soon passed back to Hong Kong. [;First release] Although the Hong Kong film industry has always paid little attention to literary films, the attention to winning awards is no less than that of Taiwanese filmmakers.

A newly opened film company, if its film can win the Golden Horse Award, will also receive a lot of attention from its Hong Kong counterparts.

It is unrealistic for today's Chinese-language films to win awards in Europe and the United States. For decades, there have been only a few people. In addition to the European and American international awards, the Asian Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards are the most valuable. After the Asian Film Festival became an exhibition event, major Chinese-language film production regions such as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore focused their attention on the Golden Horse Awards.

In the past, Hong Kong films were often nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, but basically five or six were nominated, and only one was finally awarded the award, and the winning ratio was very low.

Like Kang Jianfei, he has won 6 awards at the Golden Horse Awards at one time, which is the first time in the history of Hong Kong film.

The comment said: "Hong Kong films are rising at the speed of a rocket this year. This is not only reflected in the specific box office data, but the big harvest of Oriental DreamWorks in the Golden Horse Awards also proves this from the side."

He expressed some dissatisfaction with the Golden Horse Awards: "In terms of film art, it is low. The results that can be announced are a bit disappointing, and they only won one Best Costume Design Award, which is obviously the intention of the Golden Horse Awards. Especially In this film, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin are the three heroines, any one of them is eligible to win the Best Actress trophy, but all three of them failed, and the actress award was actually awarded to Zhang Aijia in it..."

The Taiwanese media are also very dissatisfied. Most of the 11 nominations have only won 6 awards, and the trophies are really few. For example, the best supporting actress should be awarded to Jiang Xia, because Jiang Xia's performance in the film is so perfect.

Kang Jianfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He won several awards at the awards ceremony. But as a composer, screenwriter and producer, etc.

The weekend after the Golden Horse Awards ended, it was already recorded and officially broadcast. Since CTV had already announced the announcement, many people turned to watch the TV program, ready to watch Brigitte Lin's recorded TV program after many years. CTV's ratings jumped to a terrifying 63% that night.

Don't question this number, this is the highest-rated TV program in Taiwan, even higher than that of TV dramas. In the few years of broadcasting, China Television has beaten all the programs of Taiwan Television and China Television with one gear, and it was not until the introduction of Hong Kong dramas that the ratings were surpassed.

Horrible viewership of this show. Kang Jianfei only recorded one of the units. Just over ten minutes. Its publicity effect has surpassed the efforts of the academies.

A few days later, it was officially released in Taiwan, but many theaters were full even though the New Year was not a festival.

In the film, Lin Qingxia's male disguise as a woman amazed the audience in Taiwan. A Taiwanese magazine commented on the film: "Brigitte Lin is very lucky. As a well-known actress whose screen image has been finalized, she met Director Kang Jianfei. In the first film they collaborated on, Director Kang Jianfei made a big subversion. , will play Brigitte Lin, who is used to being a lady and has a strong literary atmosphere, into a heroic super policewoman, and enter the Japanese and American markets in one fell swoop...

With this kind of achievement, Director Kang Jianfei did not continue to make money for the sequel, but instead took a different approach and started making films in the early Republic of China. Lin Qingxia's menswear image in the film is definitely a screen classic. Although this film also has the love of children, it is not as artificial as most of the current romance films in Taiwan. The director expresses the love between the five male and female protagonists quite intentionally, but instead focuses more on friendship. The atmosphere of children in troubled times and family and country has been created very successfully, bringing the audience to another time and space...

According to statistics, the total box office of Taiwan's films this year has shrunk again. It has already been beaten by the total box office data of Hong Kong movies. Two years ago, the total box office of Hong Kong films was lower than that of Taiwan. What does this mean? It means we are going backwards.

After Bruce Lee's kung fu movie became popular, everyone rushed to shoot kung fu movies. As a result, within 4 years, more than 200 shoddy Taiwanese kung fu movies could not be released, and they could only be rotten in the warehouse. After Liu Jiachang's musical romance films sold well, directors swarmed to mass-produce low-quality romance films, and then asked songwriters to add interludes to them. Qiong Yao's movie sold well, and everyone made a three-hall movie. Now the audience is sick of watching this kind of movie.

Taiwanese filmmakers should learn more from Director Kang Jianfei, and not make shoddy productions and follow the trend for short-term interests. Judging from all the films of Oriental DreamWorks, the company's filming is very planned. After the big sales, no matter how many people follow the trend to make movies of the same type, Oriental DreamWorks will make a sequel after seven or eight months... "

It is the most famous professional film magazine in Taiwan. When a film review is published, most of them are talking about Kang Jianfei and Oriental DreamWorks, and they also scolded Taiwanese filmmakers by the way.

This film review aroused a lot of repercussions in the Taiwanese film circle, and the final result was that it did not play any role. Those who shoot commercial films continue to follow the trend of mass production, while those who shoot literary films become more and more niche, without considering the box office market.

The Taiwanese film New Wave Movement was a little later than Hong Kong, and was actually inspired by the Hong Kong New Wave Movement.

Some insightful people in the Taiwanese film industry clearly see that Taiwanese films are declining, while Hong Kong films are rapidly rising. Then these people attributed the rise of Hong Kong movies to the New Wave of Hong Kong movies (there is indeed such a factor), coupled with the relaxation of the control of literary and artistic works by the Taiwan authorities, so they also set off the New Wave movement.

When the movement first started, the directors would still take care of all parties. Until later, those new directors made films entirely for the sake of winning awards.

A big advertisement was made, attracting many old directors such as Li Xing and Bai Jingrui into the cinema.

With the popularity of the film, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, who are not well-known in Taiwan, have also become well-known movie stars in Taiwan.

And the "Dream Three Girls" packaged by Oriental DreamWorks has gradually been accepted by more people. Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong are regarded as popular by Lin Qingxia.

The film's box office response in Taiwan was far better than when it was released in Hong Kong. It may be the reason why Lin Qingxia starred, or it may be that Taiwanese audiences are more accepting of artistic movies, anyway, there are fewer.

1981 has not yet passed, the box office in Taiwan has been close to 30 million Taiwan dollars, and it was very tragic when it was released at the same time. The box office did not break the 10 million mark.

Whether it is Mecca, Huang Baiming, or Xu Ke, the director of the film, they are extremely depressed in the face of this situation.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the Golden Horse Award nomination to take the opportunity to make a box office release in Taiwan, but Kang Jianfei would have the same calculus.

After the two movie schedules collided, he was half paralyzed.

In the conference room of Xinyicheng, several giants are smoking cigarettes and discussing the company's next play.

Zhang Aijia was really uncomfortable because of the smoke, so she stood up and pushed the window open. Suddenly, a cold air rushed in, causing everyone to fight a cold war collectively.

Huang Baiming asked, "Does anyone know what movie Kang Jianfei has in the new year's file?"

Mecca said: "I inquired from Manager Li, Princess Jin, that Oriental DreamWorks will release a literary film recently. In addition, DreamWorks has two more films under production, one is. Among them, the two films are The male and female protagonists are Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong."

Shi Tian immediately reacted: "It seems that Kang Jianfei is ready to support Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong."

Huang Baiming suddenly said: "Do you think our Xinyi City should also hold a newcomer?"

Since the establishment of Xinyicheng, basically several bosses have been actors, screenwriters, directors, and producers. In addition, they have invited famous actors to appear.

For example, this time the big hit~lightnovelpub.net~ But among the three leading actors, Mecca is the company's shareholder, Zhang Aijia is the company's executive, and Xu Guanjie is a long-established freelance actor. effect.

Xinyicheng has been established for more than a year, and now there are not many signed actors under its hands.

Mecca nodded and said: "It's time to sign a few potential actors, but this matter is not urgent now. The most important thing now is to finalize the new year's drama."

Huang Baiming said: "That's why I asked Kang Jianfei what drama he will be playing in the new year. We must not collide with his type, the pressure is too bad, this is still in the case of different types."

Shi Tian said: "Whatever he shoots? Our forte is comedy. As long as we play our comedy well, the box office is guaranteed."

Mecca nodded and said, "Yes, what Shi Tian said makes sense. In fact, I already have an idea in my heart. Who still remembers the movie in the 1960s?"

Huang Baiming asked in surprise: "Are you going to remake?"
