The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong. watermark ad test watermark ad test

The tea restaurant on the second floor of the hotel was wrapped up by the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards. Filmmakers from all walks of life gathered to drink tea and wait for the luxury car from the Taiping Theater to come and pick them up.

For each Hong Kong Film Awards, DreamWorks has a huge team that takes up four tables right now.

The script directed by Kang Jianfei himself released two films last year, and these two films received more than ten nominations.

With the popularity of Hong Kong films in Asia, the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards is also growing, and it has even surpassed the Golden Horse Awards to a certain extent.

Being able to win an award at the Hong Kong Film Awards has also become a very glorious and affordable thing. It doesn't matter if you don't win as in previous years. Winning an Academy Award is a huge benefit to directors and studios, both in terms of reputation and financial gain.

Kang Jianfei's two films have won more than 10 nominations. Although others are envious and hateful, no one dares to directly question the fairness, because whether it is "Fang Fang" or "My Sassy Girl", the sensation caused by There, it would seem problematic not to give Kang Jianfei so many nominations.

Sophie Marceau was nominated for Best Actress for "Fang Fang". This is the first time that the Academy Awards has nominated a foreign actor (there have been foreigners nominated for technical awards). Whether she can win is highly regarded. big attention.

However, Sophie Marceau was not able to attend the awards ceremony this time. Since "Fang Fang" and "Pride Rose" have been selling well in Europe, her acting career has taken a step forward, and there are countless people looking for her to film.

Kang Jianfei wrote a script for Paramount some time ago, and when he left the United States, he recommended Sophie Marceau to the producer. After the audition, it has been determined that Sophie Marceau will play the heroine of "Pretty Woman". As for Julia Roberts, who became popular with this play, she has now missed out on "Pretty Woman". God knows if the big mouth beauty can still become a big star.

Sophie Marceau is no longer as rigid as she used to be. She thinks about making art films all day long. Her rejection of commercial films has disappeared. As long as the script is good, there is no problem. After passing the audition. Sophie Marceau is trying to figure out the role. She actually went to a nightclub in Los Angeles to be an **** girl, and didn't even come to the awards ceremony this time.

Although Sophie Marceau just went to the hotel to observe and experience life. There is no such thing as crossing the line, but Kang Jianfei is still very upset when he finds out. He couldn't beat the girl again, so he could only pay someone to protect her in secret to avoid any accident.

Now everyone is waiting for tea in the cafeteria. Kang Jianfei sat at a table with the creators of the two dramas. He casually asked Leung Ka Fai, "Ah Fai, you haven't finished filming your Lover yet?"

"I will go to Vietnam to make up a few shots next month." Liang Jiahui replied.

Liang Jiahui still respects Kang Jianfei very much. After the starring in "Fang Fang" became popular, there are many people in Hong Kong looking for him to film. If Tony Leung is allowed to take on the kind of Hong Kong films that can be shot in more than half a month, he will earn a lot of remuneration in a short period of time, and the interests of Oriental Entertainment will be maximized.

After Liang Jiahui entered the "Lover" crew. I spent more than half a year shooting in Vietnam without finishing, delaying the best development period in Hong Kong. The Oriental Entertainment Company was quite critical of this, and hoped that Tony Leung would be able to travel between Vietnam and Hong Kong, like other popular actors, to make two or three plays at the same time. It was Kang Jianfei's words that suppressed the matter.

Kang Jianfei was just asking casually now, but it made others think that he was going to find Kang Jianfei as the male lead again. Wu Zhenyu, who was sitting next to him, looked at Liang Jiahui with admiration.

Wu Zhenyu was still an introvert and didn't like to talk, and Wang Zuixian, who was sitting next to Kang Jianfei, kept his mouth shut and asked him about the Hollywood entertainment industry.

"Hello, Mr. Kang, congratulations!" Suddenly Hong Jinbao came over with his girlfriend Gao Lihong, and opened his mouth with a smile to congratulate him.

Hong Jinbao congratulates Kang Jianfei for his successful entry into Paramount. Although Hong Kong has become the Hollywood of the East, the system and scale of the film industry cannot be compared with the real Hollywood. At least the two sides still have an insurmountable gap in the total annual box office.

Kang Jianfei became the second largest shareholder of the Hollywood movie giant. When he returned to the Hong Kong film industry, his status was completely different. It's not just a matter of Chinese people's admiration for foreigners, but Kang Jianfei now has a lot of Hollywood movie resources. Which director, actor, or behind-the-scenes film will go to Hollywood in the future, or which Hong Kong film wants to be released on a large scale in North America, these people Running to find Kang Jianfei is the best choice.

Only when you become important will others truly value or even respect you, otherwise others will not take you seriously.

It was less than half an hour after Kang Jianfei entered the tea restaurant, but six waves of people took the initiative to greet him.

Like Hong Jinbao, he hasn't had much contact with Kang Jianfei since DreamWorks and Golden Harvest became more and more stalemate and became major competitors, and they only nodded when they met in public.

Now that Kang Jianfei has become Paramount's second largest shareholder, Hong Jinbao immediately congratulated Kang Jianfei without hesitation, which is regarded as a good relationship for his future development in Hong Kong or Hollywood.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hong as well, this time your "Oriental Condor" has won a lot of nominations." Kang Jianfei did not put on airs, stood up and shook hands with Hong Jinbao and Gao Lihong.

Hong Jinbao laughed and said, "Where, in terms of nominations, I can't compare to Mr. Kang."

There used to be friendship between the two, but now they are similar to passers-by, and they parted after a few words of greeting.

Before Kang Jianfei could sit down and say a few words, the next person to say hello came again, this time it was Wu Siyuan, who once made Cheng Long popular, and he is now the boss of the ** film company.

After Kang Jianfei said a few polite words to him, Wu Siyuan made it clear, he said: "Mr. Kang, now the scale of Hong Kong movies is getting bigger and bigger, but there is only one professional film association, which is very different from Hollywood. so big."

The "professional film association" Wu Siyuan refers to was the Cinematographers Association established last year. As for the "Hong Kong Film Industry Association" that was established two years ago, Wu Siyuan, like Kang Jianfei, did not take that **** association in his eyes.

Things in the world are so wonderful. It is the Shit Film Industry Association, which Kang Jianfei and Wu Siyuan look down on. In a few months, they will rely on media hype to promote the establishment of Hong Kong's film rating system by accident, and sweep the development of Hong Kong films. Obstacles in the legal system were cleared.

As the Hong Kong film industry is maturing, a professional film association is essential. Kang Jianfei also supports this. He asked with a smile, "Mr. Wu is going to set up a Hong Kong Directors Association?"

Wu Siyuan nodded and admitted: "Yes, Hong Kong movies have been around for decades, and it's time for a professional director's association."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Does Mr. Wu have any specific ideas?"

Wu Siyuan said: "I have contacted some directors, and most of them are willing to join. Mr. Kang, you are the number one director in Hong Kong. You must be involved in the establishment of the Director's Association. Why don't Mr. Kang take the chair of the Director's Association?"

The Directors Association was able to be established, thanks to Xinbao Cinemas and Taiwan studios for muddying the waters of the Hong Kong film industry, which made the big film companies in Hong Kong lose their previous control over directors. What directors' association does the director join.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, you contacted the establishment of the Directors Guild. I agree with both hands. I am also willing to personally sponsor some funds for the Guild. But let me be the chairman, I don't have the energy."

If Wu Siyuan, the Hong Kong Directors' Association, develops, it will be a force that cannot be ignored in the Hong Kong film industry. It will take two or three years to affect the selection of the Academy Awards, and even to a certain extent, it can resist the government and gangs on the film. Circle intrusion.

In another time and space, South Korea's Ministry of Culture, under pressure from the United States, admitted to shrinking and phasing out the screen quota system. If this system is abolished, then South Korea will forever become a dumping market for Hollywood blockbusters, and the subsequent rise of South Korean films will simply be impossible.

At that time, it was the directors who united, both men and women with shaved heads and ran to protest, forcing the South Korean government to take back their lives, which kept the Korean film’s policy line of defense against Hollywood blockbusters.

Directors may be the most influential group of people who are most concerned about the development of local films. If a director's association works well, it will play an important role in the prosperity and development of Hong Kong films.

Although Kang Jianfei is reluctant to be the president~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he definitely wants to intervene, and even guide the association to respond when necessary.

The directors' interests represented by the Directors Guild are often opposed to the interests of major film companies, so Kang Jianfei's status as both a director and a boss is extremely embarrassing. If it is for the sake of long-term interests, Kang Jianfei does not mind sometimes sacrificing the interests of his company.

Wu Siyuan and Kang Jianfei chatted in the tea restaurant for more than ten minutes. The luxury car team sent by the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards finally arrived, and the people in the tea restaurant began to go out one after another.

Kang Jianfei, as an important figure, naturally had to be at the back of the line, but Wu Siyuan was leaving soon.

The two have already expressed their attitudes to each other. Kang Jianfei promised to donate 2 million Hong Kong dollars as the preparatory cost of the Directors Association. If there is any surplus, it will be used as the activity fund. Wu Siyuan, on the other hand, continued to run the series, trying to attract more directors to join the association. The association was initially scheduled to be established after the summer vacation period ended, and there were still several months to improve the association system and plan the journal.
