Dreams of the Fragrant River

Seeing Kang Jianfei walking into the tea restaurant, Shu Qi immediately stood up to greet him, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Kang, good afternoon. [;Starter]"

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Shu Qi. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shu waited for a long time? I have to delay for a while."

Shu Qi didn't answer directly, but said, "It's quite a leisurely thing to sit here watching the sea and drinking afternoon tea."

For Shu Qi, Kang Jianfei had only heard of his name and never seen him in his last life. Because when Kang Jianfei entered the film and television industry, Shu Qi was already in a semi-retired state. Kang Jianfei had read some of the film monographs he wrote, but he had never seen the real person.

There are two Shu Qi in the Hong Kong film circle in later generations, and most people can't tell the difference between these two Shu Qi stupidly. One of them is a publisher and film critic, and the other is a famous female movie star.

Speaking of which, the names of the female Shuqi and the male Shuqi have a lot of origin. The female Shuqi was originally surnamed Lin. When Taiwanese literary films were flooded in her debut, she changed her stage name to "Shuqi". Later, her Taiwanese agent named her. The name was changed to "Shu Qi" (beside the king). A few years later, Wang Jing and Wen Jun brought the female Shuqi to Hong Kong. Wen Jun and the male Shuqi were good friends, and naturally they would not have the same name, so they changed the female Shuqi's name to beside the three o'clock water. has been used.

Kang Jianfei and Shu Qi had nothing to talk about, and said casually, "The awards ceremony last night was a good one."

"Mr. Kang is laughing. If the funds are sufficient, I will definitely be willing to do it more successfully." Shu Qi smiled bitterly, "There are many places in the awards ceremony, and I, the host, have not considered it well. If the two hosts are offended by anything I hope that Mr. Kang will not take offense in large numbers."

Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "Mr. Shu's words are serious. It's not like you offend or offend. It's your way of awarding awards that offends people more than what the host said."

"Yeah," Shu Qi understood what Kang Jianfei meant, nodded and said, "For next year's awards, I'm going to nominate first and then announce the winners."

Why do you say this year's Hong Kong Film Awards offend people?

Because Shu Qi invited many directors, actors, screenwriters and other filmmakers, no one knew in advance whether he was a guest or an award winner. Looking forward to winning. In the end, only five actually got the trophy, and I don't know how many people were disappointed.

And the awards are also quite controversial. If the awards are based on the artistry and ideological connotation of the film, why did Xu Guanwen win the best actor in a commercial comedy? It's also a commercial comedy, and the box office is even higher. Why can't Mecca win this award?

In terms of commerciality, the biggest winner of the Academy Awards is also a literary film, and it also reflects the serious reality of Hong Kong becoming a "refugee camp". Why can't it win the best film?

After all, the awarding of the Academy Awards is in the eyes of people in the circle. It's just a child's play. Whoever wins and who does not win. It's entirely up to those editors' preferences.

Not only Kang Jianfei was upset. Mecca and Hong Jinbao were equally uncomfortable. When Mecca left last night, their faces were gloomy. People came to the award ceremony with joy and admiration, but in the end they only got a certificate of award, not even a trophy. The grand prize is awarded to the same type of film, what does it sound like?

Kang Jianfei was not polite to Shu Qi, and asked directly, "Mr. Shu thinks the Academy Awards can be held next year?"

"Uh..." Shu Qi didn't expect Kang Jianfei to speak so directly, so he said bravely, "No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "With all due respect, I haven't heard of any film competition in the world where the editor of a magazine selects the winners. To put it differently, your credibility and qualifications are not enough to judge this award. . This point will not change. The Academy Awards can only be self-entertainment and petty troubles, no one will take it seriously. To put it more hurtful, this year's Academy Awards have strict selections Is there a charter? I'm afraid you several screenwriters will get together and make a decision based on your preference."

As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter, and Kang Jianfei's words are ugly. But he pointed directly at the heart of the Hong Kong Film Awards, making Shu Qi not knowing whether to be grateful or angry.

Shu Qi sighed: "If you don't allow the selection, who should be the judge? There is no other professional organization in Hong Kong."

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It doesn't exist now, it doesn't mean it hasn't been there all the time. For example, the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Photographers Association, the Hong Kong Screenwriters Association, etc., can contact and initiate. The judges, and then the judges are formed by these judges, the credibility of the award will be much greater."

Shu Qi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Kang thinks I have the ability to initiate the establishment of so many associations?"

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Mr. Shu, you can hold the Golden Statue Award under the circumstances of financial difficulties, and you have invited the chairman of the Municipal Council as a guest. I have great confidence in your ability to connect. For example, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, you are completely You can find popular actors such as Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanwen, or you can find qualified and prestigious actors such as Guan Dexing and Di Long, and after obtaining their support, the following things will be easy.”

Kang Jianfei's suggestion made Shu Qi's thinking suddenly clear, but at the same time, it caused even greater doubts. Today, he came to appease Kang Jianfei's grievances. Why is Kang Jianfei actually helping him come up with ideas?

There is nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!

Shu Qi tentatively said: "Mr. Kang seems to be very interested in this kind of thing."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in forming an association, I just want to sponsor next year's Academy Awards, so of course I hope it can do better."

As soon as Kang Jianfei said this, Shu Qi immediately refused: "Sorry, I must maintain the independence of the Academy Awards and do not accept sponsorship from any film company."

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Who said I sponsored in the name of DreamWorks?"

Shu Qi shook his head and said, "Mr. Kang, your personal sponsorship is not enough. You are the boss of the film company."

Kang Jianfei asked, "I can't even sponsor it in the name of Lishi?"

"Lishi?" Shu Qi felt a little inexplicable and didn't understand why Kang Jianfei would sponsor in Lishi's name.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I am the fourth largest shareholder of Li's TV station."

Shu Qi stared at Kang Jianfei with wide eyes, the shock in his heart cannot be described in words. Being a TV station is not a film company. You can register a company for a few thousand dollars. Kang Jianfei has become the fourth largest shareholder of the TV station without a sound. This kind of thing has not even been reported by the media.

Kang Jianfei promised: "I won't point fingers at the selection of the Academy Awards, but I hope that after sponsoring, Lishi can get the broadcast rights of the awards for the next ten years."

Shu Qi was silent, thinking about the gains and losses of this matter quickly in his mind.

With Li's TV station as the gold owner, the Academy Awards will definitely get better and better in the future, and there is no need to worry about raising funds. But once he accepts Lishi's money, if Kang Jianfei wants to intervene in the selection of the Golden Statue Award, it will go against his original intention of founding the Golden Statue Award.

After thinking for a long time, Shu Qi finally couldn't stand the temptation of funds, and asked aloud: "Mr. Kang can really guarantee not to interfere in the Academy Awards?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I may make my own suggestions on where and how the awards ceremony will be held, as well as the awards for the Academy Awards, but I can guarantee that I won't interfere with which movie to win."

Shu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Then it's settled. Next year's Academy Awards ceremony will be handed over to Lishi."

Kang Jianfei added: "This year's awards are too few. I hope to increase the awards for best supporting actor and actress, best photography, best music and so on next year."

Shu Qi said helplessly: "Actually, I want to set up these awards this year, but you know, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is very difficult to evaluate five awards."

Kang Jianfei suggested: "If you can't set up a professional film group next year, you can contact some film critics and media people to form a professional jury, which is much better than doing it yourself."

Shu Qi nodded and said, "That's the only way to go. Thank you Mr. Kang for your guidance."

Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not like giving advice. Many foreign film competitions are like this, and I'm just picking up people's teeth."

After reaching a preliminary intention, the two started chatting about the holding of next year's Academy Awards. Kang Jianfei's suggestion is to institutionalize all aspects of the Academy Awards as soon as possible, and then expand its influence~www.wuxiaspot.com~ For example, invite a famous foreign director or movie star to be a judge and a guest of honor.

Shu Qi is a real talent, even two years younger than Zhao Yazhi. At this age, a director won an international award, and he was able to organize the Hong Kong Film Awards. No matter what, he was considered a legend.

In fact, Shu Qi's strongest ability is to do publicity and series work. In the parallel space, Shu Qi later became the publicity manager of Debao Company, and later established his own film distribution company. Shu Qi was responsible for organizing and planning the distribution of films in Hong Kong and Europe and the United States.

If it wasn't for Shu Qi who was now in charge of the development of the Film Awards, and Li Yicheng, the publicity manager of Oriental DreamWorks, was doing a good job, Kang Jianfei would have wanted to recruit him.

The two chatted until after five o'clock, and all the guests in the tea restaurant had already left, and Shu Qicai said in a still unfulfilled voice: "Mr. Inspired, I will try my best to make the Academy Awards well."

"Haha, I'm just talking with white teeth." Kang Jianfei smiled, shook hands with Shu Qi and left.
