Dreams of the Fragrant River

For some old artists in the conference room, the content seems kitsch and impetuous, and it is not a movie that really expresses and praises feelings. [;Starting]

But today is not really a meeting, but the film bureau received a central task to get them closer to Kang Jianfei, so they came up with such a nondescript exchange meeting.

Therefore, even if it is something they think is not good, these old gentlemen will "take the overall situation into consideration" and will not casually say that Kang Jianfei is not good at shooting.

Apart from some old-fashioned filmmakers, new-generation directors like Chen Kaige appreciate Kang Jianfei's film narrative style very much. Moreover, the taste of the refined and the popular made Chen Kaige stunned, and suddenly he thought to understand: the original theme of the film can still be made in this way - the film bureau's definition is a film.

"I think this film directed by Kang Jianfei, first of all, the characters are very vivid. Several male and female protagonists have their own characteristics, and they are not the heroic images of Wei Guangzheng. They have shortcomings in terms of greed for money, cowardice, impulsiveness, etc., but this does not Covering up their patriotic sentiments makes the audience feel closer and more loved, because they are all ordinary people with flesh and blood..." The first to speak was Chen Huaikai, who is the father of Brother Chen Kai and a well-known director of the Beijing Film Studio.

Chen Huaikai also worked in Hong Kong before. He worked in Yonghua Films of Li Yongzu and Zhang Shankun. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he returned to the mainland to support the Communist Party.

This kind of qualifications can't be deeper, even Wang Yang, the director of the Beijing Film Studio, can only be commensurate with Chen Huaikai's friends and cannot force him to do anything.

"Director Chen speaks eloquently," He Xinhuai, another professor of Beixi Opera, continued, "The leader said that we need to reform and open up, and this reform and opening up is not only about economic development, but also after ten years of stagnant development of Chinese films. Reform and opening up. Like Director Zhang, it is a model of film cooperation between mainland China and Hong Kong. In film cooperation and exchanges, our film staff also learned a lot of Hong Kong film technology. It is a very good film, it gave me It is very inspiring, and after the film is released in the mainland, I will definitely recommend my students to study and watch it seriously.”

Deputy Director Zhao of the Film Bureau nodded and said: "Professor He's speech is a high-profile statement, our Chinese film really needs reform and opening up. The people of the past do not like to watch the set of model dramas, so we must learn from other people's good things. Mr. Kang Jianfei is not only the leading director in Hong Kong, but also a famous international director. He once directed an American film called "The global box office is close to 200 million US dollars. Such a great director with advanced experience. I can come to participate today." The exchange meeting of the film bureau. It will definitely benefit everyone here."

"A movie sells for 200 million US dollars, how much foreign exchange does it make?"

"Fake it, how could a movie sell for hundreds of millions."

"It's not impossible, or it will be sold for more than 100 million."

"This Director Kang seems to be a big capitalist."

"..."

Deputy Director Zhao's words apparently stunned these people. No matter how loud the praise is, it is not as direct as more than 100 million dollars, and there is a humming noise in the conference room.

"Where is it, Director Zhao has won the award," Kang Jianfei said quickly. The crowd in front of him lifted him up to the sky, that was to give him face, and the people in the sedan chair carried people, so Kang Jianfei would naturally send back a few nice words. "Actually, there are also many excellent films in the mainland. Take director Chen Kaige as an example, I personally admire and admire the sense of nationality that a commercial director like me cannot produce. And I also heard that, In order to provide the soundtrack, director Chen Kaige went to the northwest with Zhang Yimou and Mr. Zhao Jiping to collect the wind. Under the north wind of minus 20 degrees, he listened to folk songs with the farmers in the cave dwelling, and went to sleep naked in the earthen medicine at night. I stayed for more than a month. I admire this hard-working spirit very much, and it is what our Hong Kong filmmakers need to learn.”

Previously, touting Kang Jianfei blindly made some people feel uncomfortable. Now Kang Jianfei touts and praised him, and immediately received very good results. Although they were just praising Chen Kai for being harmonious, the others were proud of him, and they had a much better impression of Kang Jianfei.

"Director Kang is very praised. It's a fluke to win the award abroad. I still have a lot of shortcomings. I need to communicate and learn from my Hong Kong counterparts." Chen Kaige and Liu Xiaoqing are the youngest in the conference room. Yes, and now being appreciated by Kang Jianfei's film, I suddenly feel that Beier has a face.

Deputy Director Zhao was also very happy and said with a smile: "Indeed, as Mr. Kang said, our filmmakers have a precious tradition, and the spirit of being serious, responsible and hard-working can never be lost..."

Director Xie Jin said: "The backwardness of films in the Mainland is reflected in two aspects, one is ideological and the other is technical. The technical solution is easy, but the ideological backwardness is much more difficult, I think it is given one A very good idea, that is to restore the hero to a human..."

Ladies and gentlemen, Kang Jianfei basically shut up and listened to your speech.

The conversation continued until 11:30, and then the meeting was temporarily ended and I went to the cafeteria to have a meal. In the afternoon, I had to watch it again. After watching it, I continued to "communicate".

The reason why Kang Jianfei has so much time to talk nonsense with them is mainly because he proposed a joint venture with the mainland to build a cinema, which is still controversial within the Ministry of Culture. Some people think that movies belong to the field of ideology and culture, and movie theaters cannot allow private investors to invest.

Before the Ministry of Culture made a decision, the Film Bureau naturally arranged for Kang Jianfei to participate in the event, and this film exchange meeting was just for him to spend time.

Not only that, a song and dance performance was also arranged in the evening, and it was specially invited to perform by the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

As for the review of DreamWorks films, the Film Bureau has also arranged for a special team to do it. First of all, we need to pick out those movies with serious ideological problems, which are directly shot and killed, and then select which ones can be released directly, and which ones need to be deleted and revised.

Scheduling the schedule is actually simpler, because there is no May Day or 11th long holiday yet, and there is no film from any company competing with DreamWorks at the box office. An executive order went all over the country and the films were lined up.

certainly. It is unavoidable for local movie theaters to conceal their box office reports. Kang Jianfei's biggest expectation is that there should not be too many pirated copies. Although there are state-run movie theaters everywhere, China is too big, and there are so many copies that are needed after filming across the country. It is impossible for local movie theaters to make copies privately and conceal the box office.

The biggest enemy of the cultural and creative cause of the Celestial Dynasty is piracy. This problem cannot be solved in thirty years. At this time, state-owned units are taking the lead in piracy. For example, when Chinese record companies bought the copyrights of famous songs from all over the world, their conscience couldn't be more conscientious. In the 1990s, the great writer Marquez visited Beijing/Beijing and found that there were rows of pirated copies in the Xinhua Bookstore. So angry that the Nobel Prize winner for literature vowed never to sell copyrights to China.

...

The lunch in the canteen of the Film Bureau was very "simple". Sitting at a table with Kang Jianfei. In addition to Deputy Director Zhao, Xie Jin, Chen Huaikai, Chen Kaige and others, there were also several old gentlemen in their 60s and 70s.

Because Liu Xiaoqing was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards and met Kang Jianfei in Hong Kong, he was specially arranged to sit next to Kang Jianfei.

Although Liu Xiaoqing is a well-known national star. But she didn't have the right to speak on that occasion in the morning, and now it's her home court when it comes to the dinner table.

"Mr. Kang, we meet again. You have forgotten a lot, do you still have any impressions of me?" Liu Xiaoqing smiled and shook hands with Kang Jianfei, scratching his fingers on Kang Jianfei's palm.

Faced with Liu Xiaoqing's fake hookup, Kang Jianfei pulled back his hand and smiled and said, "Miss Liu has a moving temperament and an elegant conversation. The day of the Academy Awards left a deep impression on me, how can I not remember it?"

Liu Xiaoqing opened a bottle of Maotai and poured a circle of wine. Luoluo raised his glass generously and said, "Mr. Kang is welcome to come to the capital for inspection and exchange, I'll give a toast to Mr. Kang!"

When the Chinese arrive at the wine table, Mr. serious will also become unconscionable. Chen Huaikai coaxed at this moment: "Today there is a **** here, Xiaoqing's wine. You must not drink it, Mr. Kang."

"Everyone is my senior, just call me Xiaokang, Mr. Kang, Mr. Kang's sounds awkward," Kang Jianfei stood up with his glass in his hand, and said, "Since it's the wine that Miss Liu is toasting, then I'll finish it in one gulp! "

Seeing that Kang Jianfei lowered his body like this, the old gentlemen were quite benefited, and after he toasted, they shouted: "Xiaokang is good at drinking, let's have another drink!"

The guest and host enjoyed a lunch, and the consequence was that the afternoon exchange meeting could not be held. Kang Jianfei drank a whole table of people, leaving the nickname of "Bacchus" in the domestic film circle.

"Director, is the afternoon meeting still open?" Director Zhao's secretary ran over and asked.

Deputy Director Zhao was already drunk and hazy-eyed at this time. He leaned on the table and said as he walked: "What else are you going to open, I... I'll go to sleep first, at night... on the song and dance show... call before the performance. Wake me up!"

Reform and opening up has made China develop rapidly, and it has also brought a lot of evil spirits. It was impossible to eat and drink like this ten years ago.

At the gate of the cafeteria, Liu Xiaoqing, who was drinking with a red face, took the initiative to help Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, I will take you back."

Kang Jianfei was only half drunk. In fact, he was much more sober than Liu Xiaoqing and knew what the woman was thinking.

Originally, Zeng Bolin and Liu Fei were going to help Kang Jianfei into the car, but now Liu Xiaoqing, a beautiful woman, suddenly joined, Zeng Bolin wisely gave up his position.

Back in the hotel room, Liu Xiaoqing took good care of him like a virtuous wife. After helping him take off his shoes, socks and coat, he also specially called hot water to wash Kang Jianfei's face.

Liu Xiaoqing leaned over to wash Kang Jianfei's face. The amount of full milk was amazing. With the movement of wiping his face, it moved back and forth, pressing on Kang Jianfei's chest and rubbing back and forth.

Kang Jianfei really had no resistance to beautiful women, and before he knew it, his hand had moved to Liu Xiaoqing's buttocks, who suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and Kang Jianfei had already turned it over and pressed him under him.

...

After more than an hour, Liu Xiaoqing finally knew what it means to play with fire*. Kang Jianfei's excessive demands made her whole body weak and weak, and now she was lying on the bed and couldn't get up at all.

"You must have been a cow in your last life, and you can't use all your strength!" Liu Xiaoqing said half-complainingly and half-pleasantly, with a winking look that was indescribably seductive.

Kang Jianfei jokingly sighed: "There are no ploughed fields, only exhausted cows. Being a man is hard work."

"What kind of badly cultivated fields, how are you?" Liu Xiaoqing said coquettishly, punching Kang Jianfei a few times with his pink fist. Then he said, "I heard Ka Fai say that he has joined your company now?"

"Yeah." Kang Jianfei narrowed his eyes and smiled, he already understood this woman's shrewdness. Liang Jiahui only joined DreamWorks last week. Judging from the speed of information dissemination at this time, it must be Liu Xiaoqing who called Liang Jiahui.

Liu Xiaoqing then began to complain: "It's better to be an actor in Hong Kong. In mainland China, the most famous actor like me can only earn a few hundred yuan for a movie."

Kang Jianfei stroked her smooth waist and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "China will develop sooner or later, and the treatment of actors in the mainland will be better than that in Hong Kong."

"Then we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse." Seeing Kang Jianfei, Liu Xiaoqing ignored her. Just explained the words. "Jianfei, how about I go to Hong Kong to film?"

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "Hong Kong is very exclusive. If you want to develop in Hong Kong, you must at least learn to speak Cantonese."

There was a hint of longing on Liu Xiaoqing's face. Asked, "If I learn Cantonese, can I join DreamWorks as an actor?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid Director Wang will blame me for poaching his favorite disciple." Kang Jianfei laughed. Although he doesn't care about women's greed for money, but Liu Xiaoqing is too direct, is it possible that because he got into bed once, he can go to Hong Kong and be praised by DreamWorks?

Some women just play a few times, and it's not necessary to maintain a long-term relationship. Of course, if Liu Xiaoqing was, it would be another matter. Although Kang Jianfei had no bottom line in his integrity, he still had a little sense of responsibility.

Liu Xiaoqing finally heard the perfunctory in Kang Jianfei's tone. She smiled reluctantly and said, "Director Wang still pays attention to the actor's own choice."

Kang Jianfei said, "It's up to you, but the competition in Hong Kong is very fierce. I can't guarantee that you will become popular."

Liu Xiaoqing finally smiled and said, "I am satisfied if I can go to Hong Kong. I don't dare to expect to be a big star."

For Liu Xiaoqing's choice, Kang Jianfei can only sigh, and let the big stars in the Mainland not do it, and have to go to Hong Kong to be a small actor. This may be difficult to understand in 20 years, but it is normal now. Liu Xiaoqing, a big star, can make up to two movies a year. With his salary plus subsidies, his annual income is only more than 1,000, which is not as good as that of an ordinary worker in Hong Kong for a month. income.

At the beginning, in order to get a Beijing household registration, Liu Xiaoqing chose to marry someone she didn't like. Now, in order to be able to go to Hong Kong, she is also working hard to please Kang Jianfei.

The two played together for an afternoon. Although Kang Jianfei "despised" Liu Xiaoqing as a person, he was quite satisfied with her sex.

In the evening, Liu Xiaoqing didn't have the strength to get up to eat, so he said to Kang Jianfei, "Jianfei, tell Factory Director Wang on my behalf, and say that I'm not feeling well, so I won't go to the singing and dancing performance."

"Just take a good rest." Kang Jianfei raised his pants and smiled.

After eating at the restaurant, Kang Jianfei drove to the film bureau to watch the performance of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

When I visited Beijing with Shao Yifu last time, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office also arranged a performance by the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, but the performance was bigger and more formal. Tonight's show is an internal performance of the Film Bureau. The performance is located in the auditorium of the Film Bureau, and the performers are young artists who are not well-known.

Only less than half of the old gentlemen who ate together at noon came to watch the performance. After all, they were old and had no extra energy after being drunk.

The auditorium in the small auditorium was almost full. Most of them were internal employees of the Film Bureau, and there were also some other units who came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

Kang Jianfei sat next to Deputy Director Zhao and chatted with him before the show started, and finally came up with the topic of building a movie theater by a joint venture.

"To tell the truth, there are still some comrades who can't let go of their thoughts and think that cultural undertakings like cinema cannot be handed over to private individuals," Deputy Director Zhao sighed, "I support Mr. Kang's idea very much. It's something that's good for everyone."

The construction of cinemas is under the control of the Film Bureau. During the discussion by the Ministry of Culture on whether to allow Kang Jianfei to invest in cinemas, several bigwigs from the Film Bureau participated.

In fact, the so-called discussions are secondary. In the end, we have to look at the decision of the leaders above. As long as the leaders say it is OK, the following objections can only be implemented.

Kang Jianfei asked, "How is the mainland movie market now?"

Deputy Director Zhao smiled slyly: "There is a lot of potential."

"I know this too, that's why I want to invest in movie theaters in the mainland," Kang Jianfei said.

The singing and dancing performance started soon. Kang Jianfei had no interest in singing and dancing on the stage, but kept chatting with Deputy Director Zhao.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, the conversation finally broke down. Kang Jianfei also promised to donate a few office computers to the film bureau. Donate a set of advanced film shooting equipment to Beijing Film Studio.

Deputy Director Zhao no longer kept secrets so much, and told Kang Jianfei some of the current situation of the mainland film market with reservations.

"The domestic movies are out of the woods now. It's true that they won big prizes internationally, but the box office is only a fraction," Deputy Director Zhao said with emotion, "The masses prefer to watch movies that are light and entertaining, while domestic movies are only a fraction of the total. Other than a few films, they cannot attract the masses at all. The best-selling films in the mainland film market are the films produced by Yindu every year. Mr. Kang, if you enter the mainland market, the biggest competitor is Yindu.”

If it is a fair competition. Kang Jianfei was naturally not afraid. However, the major film companies under the Yindu Organization have been left-wing film companies for decades, and there are some things that Kang Jianfei can't really compete with them.

For example, the best-selling schedules at the box office such as the Spring Festival and the summer vacation are basically the local films that rank in the mainland and the leftist films of the Yindu institutions. DreamWorks films can only pick up the rest of others.

"Sunrise at Songshan Col

Morning bell startling birds

gurgling creek in the woods

green grass on the slope

Wild Fruit Fragrant Hills Fancy

dog jumping sheep running

Raise the whip and shake it gently

 …”

While the two were talking, a pleasant singing suddenly came from the stage.

Kang Jianfei couldn't help but look up, but saw a young girl dressed in ancient costume and holding a leather whip in her hand, apparently a shepherdess in 0spla.

Today's song and dance performance is mainly to welcome Kang Jianfei, so the song and dance performances are all related to movies.

The song was sung by the beauty on the stage so tenderly, it was a little more sugary than Zheng Xulan's original song, and it was sweet and greasy enough to sing a man's heart.

Not only that. The singer also danced while singing. Although Kang Jianfei didn't know what kind of dance she danced, he thought it was quite beautiful.

"Who is that little girl singing?" Kang Jianfei asked, pointing to the singer on the stage.

Today's small song and dance performances are all unknown singers and dancers in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. Where would Deputy Director Zhao know? He said, "After the performance. Let me ask Mr. Kang, is Mr. Kang interested in her?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "This little girl dances well, and her singing is very sweet, so she has great potential for cultivation. If the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is willing to release her, I would like to sign her to my record company."

Deputy Director Zhao said with a smile: "It's very easy. Today's performers are not famous artists. If you show your sincerity, Mr. Kang, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe will definitely let them go."

Kang Jianfei said it casually. He couldn't see it clearly off the stage. He only thought that the little **** the stage was very familiar, and her singing voice was very sweet, which was very suitable for singing love songs.

Deputy Director Zhao kept it in his mind~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, Kang Jianfei just promised to donate a batch of office computers to the Film Bureau, and also promised to give some advanced equipment to the North Film Studio. These things are worth tens of millions, far more important than a small singer in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

Before the performance was over, Deputy Director Zhao called his secretary and whispered, "Go and find out who the little girl was singing just now."

A few minutes later, the secretary ran back and bit the ear next to Deputy Director Zhao.

"Clap clap clap..."

After a burst of warm applause, tonight's song and dance performance finally came to an end.

Deputy Director Zhao said to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, that female singer is called Li Ningyu. Artist Wang Kun personally recruited him into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and he is planning to focus on training. It may be difficult to recruit her."
