Dreams of the Fragrant River
: Two hundred and fifty [the first Hong Kong Film Awards]
Originally, it was going to be finished at the end of February, but since there were no good films to arrange in March, the Golden Princess Cinema simply continued to extend the release time. [;Starting]
March 6, 1982, Jing Zhe.
Officially completed, the total box office in Hong Kong was 23.18 million, making it the biggest winner of the New Year in 1982.
It has to be said that Hong Kong audiences prefer to watch comedies. This new martial arts classic movie released ten years in advance, coupled with the Dongfeng, and Kang Jianfei's box office appeal is there, the box office is still no match for Xinyi City half a year ago.
Before the movie was released, Kang Jianfei's estimate at the box office was more than 25 million, but unfortunately it was still more than one million short.
As the only movie with a box office of over 20 million during the Spring Festival this year, after the final box office was announced, the media's focus was still on Taiwan's ban on Kang Jianfei.
It was just speculation before, but the Hong Kong media has obtained confirmation from Taiwan in recent days. Originally, some film companies wanted to invite Hui Yinghong, Wu Mengda and others to make films when they saw a hot sale, but now they have begun to make excuses for them.
Three days after the painting, the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held as scheduled. As in Kang Jianfei's case, there were many insiders who didn't want to attend, but had to attend because of favor.
2 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong Arts Centre.
Kang Jianfei took Lin Qingxia's hand and got out of the car, looking at the bare road in front of the Art Center building, he couldn't help laughing. The Academy Awards were too rudimentary, there was no red carpet, and the savings was a bit too much.
Enter the building and take the elevator up, followed the signs to Shouson Theater. After entering, Kang Jianfei realized that the reporters were in the theater. No wonder there were not many people in front of the Art Center building.
A lot of reporters came, about 20 or 30 media. Kang Jianfei was besieged as soon as he appeared, and the content of the interviews with these people was not surprising that he was banned by Taiwan.
Kang Jianfei kept his mouth shut, took Lin Qingxia's hand and squeezed straight forward. After walking to the front row, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that Shao Yifu had come too. It seemed that he was very well-connected.
In addition to Shao Yifu, the movie tycoon, Zhong Yijie, an official of the Hong Kong Home Affairs Secretary, Zhang Youxin, Chairman of the Urban Council, and others were also present, and they were also presenters. From this point of view, the holding of the Hong Kong Film Awards may have obtained support from certain departments.
There are more and more people in the Shouson Theatre. There are actors, directors, screenwriters and other filmmakers. There are also some critics and ordinary fans.
Zhou Runfa loosened his tie to let out the air. After looking around for a week, she said to Chen Yulian who was beside her, "Sister Lian, did I dress too formally today?"
Chen Yulian smiled and said, "How can you think that you are dressed too formally? The awards ceremony should have been dressed like this."
Zhou Runfa pointed around and said, "I seem to be the only one in the actors wearing a suit."
Chen Yulian looked up and saw that besides Shao Yifu and other film company bosses, Zhou Runfa was the only one wearing formal clothes. Like Xu Ke. He came with his messy hair and a coat casually approved, like a docker.
Several bosses of Xinyicheng came, and Hong Jinbao soon entered the venue, but Chenglong didn't come, because he didn't have any part in the awards today.
The emcees of the awards ceremony are Ng Ka Lian and Zhan Xiaoping, the former is a senior host of RTHK and the latter is a song program host of TVB.
After the two hosts came on stage, Wu Jialian glanced down. He said to Zhan Xiaoping next to him, "A Ping, there are a lot of great people at the awards ceremony today."
Zhan Xiaoping asked cooperatively, "Really? What big people have come here?"
Ng Ka Lian said, "Are Mr. Chung from the Home Affairs Secretary and Chairman Zhang of the Urban Council considered important figures?"
Zhan Xiaoping nodded and said, "Yes, yes, they are all big shots. If Chairman Zhang is not happy, I will be the host even if I say a word."
There was a burst of light laughter from the audience, and Zhang Youxin, who was teased by the two hosts, also laughed.
Wu Jialian pointed in the direction of Shao Yifu's seat and said, "Chairman Zhang is not too bad. There is a cough over there. You don't have to get your salary this month."
The two introduced several bigwigs respectively, but Kang Jianfei, Hong Jinbao, Mecca and others did not mention them. It seems that these "new" company bosses are not enough.
Kang Jianfei's face was not unpleasant, but Chen Bosen, who was sitting under the stage, felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Shu Qi beside him, "Could these two be intentional?"
Shu Qi, who is in his twenties, is a native of Bao'an like Kang Jianfei. He originally worked as a screenwriter at Jiayi TV. After Jiashi collapsed, he joined Jiahe as a director and assistant director. Later, he founded and served as chief editor with Chen Bosen and others.
Since Shu Qi worked as a screenwriter and assistant director at Golden Harvest, and later directed films by himself, he also planned programs for the Hong Kong International Film Festival, so many times he was simply too busy. So after being the editor-in-chief for several months, Shu Qi gave up the position of editor-in-chief to Chen Bosen.
Now that Shu Qi has resigned from Jiahe to focus on development, Chen Bosen has returned the position of editor-in-chief. The real planner who founded the Hong Kong Film Awards this time is undoubtedly Shu Qi, and officials from the Home Affairs Secretary and the Urban Council are also invited by Shu Qi's face.
Judging from the current development speed of Oriental DreamWorks and the ranking of Hong Kong movie box office in the past two years, although Kang Jianfei has a much smaller net worth, his status in the film industry is already comparable to Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. The two hosts only mentioned Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, but did not mention Kang Jianfei at all, which was obviously inappropriate.
Shu Qi reluctantly said, "Maybe they just made an unintentional mistake. After the awards ceremony, he should not care about inviting Mr. Kang to have a meal."
On the stage, Wu Jialian continued to say: "Today we are going to award the Hong Kong Film Awards. Ping, do you know how many years of history Hong Kong films have?"
Zhan Xiaoping said in surprise, "I really don't know if you ask that."
Wu Jialian said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know either, but Mr. Xian Qiran specially made a brief history of Hong Kong cinema, everyone, please watch it on the big screen!"
The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and the two presenters had already left by the time the projector's beam hit the big screen. A black-and-white still of a movie appeared on the screen, and the voice-over also sounded: "In 1909, Bingermen Blaski, the boss of Shanghai's 'Asian Film Company', was shooting a silent film comedy in Hong Kong. The creators of the film are all from The Hong Kong drama world. The director is Liang Shaopo, and the actors include Liang Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Li Beihai, etc., and the history of Hong Kong film is kicked off..."
Followed by another black-and-white photo of the street, a voiceover explained: "In 1911, Hong Kong's first luxury cinema, the Victoria Cinema, was built in Des Voeux Road..."
When another black and white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Shao Yifu sat up straight.
"In 1913, the first feature film produced in Hong Kong was screened. The director was Lai Man-wai, the photographer was Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors were Lai Man-wai and Yan Shanshan. This film marked the end of the enlightenment period of Hong Kong cinema. The beginning of the budding period. It opened a new page in the history of Hong Kong film. 1913. This year is the first year of Hong Kong film in the true sense. The photo that everyone sees on the screen is Mr. Li Manwei, the father of Hong Kong film..."
Kang Jianfei didn't know much about Li Minwei, but he was more interested in Li Minwei's granddaughter, Gigi Lai.
Watching the scenes on the big screen pass by. Kang Jianfei couldn't help but think: In another 30 to 50 years, what position will he have in the history of Hong Kong film?
Perhaps because of the fear of causing controversy, this film, a brief history of Hong Kong cinema, did not continue production after Bruce Lee's death was recorded. The film focuses more on the struggle for hegemony in the 1950s and the struggle of Shaw Brothers in the 1960s, but Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai have betrayed Shaw Brothers successively, but only briefly. In a certain year and month, director Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers to go to Taiwan to establish Guolian Pictures, and in a certain year and certain month, Mr. Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers to establish Golden Harvest.
As for Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Mecca, Kang Jianfei and others, they are not even mentioned in this film.
even so. The Hong Kong filmmakers at the scene also responded with a burst of warm applause. After all, all the seniors in the industry just appeared in the film.
After a round of applause, the two hosts returned to the stage. Wu Jialian said: "The following will be awarded this year's top ten Chinese film awards."
Zhan Xiaoping said excitedly: "The top ten Chinese-language films in the first Hong Kong Film Awards are...!"
The director was Fang Yuping, but the director was not present today because of something, and the CEO of Phoenix Pictures was the one who accepted the award on his behalf. The boss is over sixty years old. Today, I deliberately wore a Chinese tunic suit, as if to show off my leftist style as a filmmaker. I walked up to the stage to receive the award certificate from the hostess, and said a short acceptance speech into the microphone: "Thank you, thank the organizing committee for the affirmation and I agree, in the future Phoenix Pictures will make more good movies to serve the people."
Kang Jianfei sat down and muttered, "No way~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't even have an award guest, and I don't even give out a trophy. Just give me an award certificate and I'm done?"
Wu Jialian continued to read the list of winners: "!"
There were no nominations for the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and no one knew in advance who would win the award. Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then ran up, looked at the award certificate and said, "I didn't expect someone to be brave enough to hold a film award. I admire his courage. I hope the Hong Kong Film Awards will be better and better."
After the awards, Xu Ke did not go down, but retreated to the back and stood in a row with the boss of Phoenix Pictures. Later, the winners of the top ten Chinese-language films would have to take a group photo.
Zhan Xiaoping continued to read: "!"
Xu Anhua, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked up to it without shame, and said lightly, "Thank you, Mr. Kang, for investing in me, otherwise this movie will be difficult to produce."
