April 6, Hong Kong.

At the exit of the airport, Lao Song sat in the car and read the morning newspaper. In addition to the daily celebrity gossip on it, there are also a few more mainland news:

The first round of the mainland version of "Dragon Babu" ended, with a maximum of 21.74% and an average of 18.31%, setting a record since CCTV had ratings statistics, and it also got a sky-high advertising price of 2.74 million for a single episode.

Taiwan's China Television has already purchased the copyright, and two episodes were broadcast a few days ago, and the ratings of 3.58% are also gratifying. China Television said that it is confident that it will win the first ratings in the 8 o'clock file.

The play was very popular in both places, and it was praised by Mr. Jin Yong himself, and Hong Kong TV also has the intention to introduce it......"

Lao Song is amazing, with a single episode of 2.74 million and 40 episodes of more than 100 million.

The longer he stayed in Hong Kong, the more he understood the concept of volume.

There are others:

According to mainland news, Tianxia Film and Television broke out that a commercial masterpiece co-produced in four places is about to be launched, and it has been confirmed that Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, and a number of Japanese and Korean stars will star, directed by Tsui Hark, with an investment of more than 200 million yuan.

The film's secrecy measures are in place, and only a corner has been revealed so far, which can't help but make people curious......"

Shh

Lao Song expressed disdain: You think you are the son of the plane, but in fact, you are just the precursor to the king, and I am the one who gathers the fortune in the ......

"Boss, Mr. Xu is out!" the driver said suddenly.

"Where?"

He hurriedly got out of the car and saw a person walking out, tall and handsome, full of mature charm of a 36-year-old man, it was Xu Fei.

Teacher Xu gave a hug and said with a smile: "I'm going to bother again, I have to stay for a while this time." ”

"That's just with Xu Dao and them, anyway, it will be started at the end of the month. ”

The two got into the car, and Lao Song said: "Your recent limelight has blown to Xiangjiang, and the paparazzi in Hong Kong are staring at that film, and a reporter asked me, I said wait a minute, it will naturally be announced when it should be announced." ”

"Hong Kong has a lot of cooperation with Japan, isn't it?"

"The market is sluggish, Zhou Xingchi can't ask for 30 million, let alone 200 million ......"

"Title!"

"Oh, a big production called 200 million. ”

"Then they have to be calm, there is a 200 million in the back. ”

"And?" Old Song was shocked.

"I'm here this time, six things.

First, I would like to meet with some film scholars and media personnel from Hong Kong and Taiwan to talk about the preliminary selection of the new awards.

Second, this. ”

Xu Fei took out a post, and Lao Song took a look, it was an invitation to this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Academy Awards.

"Huh?"

He was inexplicably stunned, connected the first two, and vaguely guessed something: "You're going to appear in public now?"

"Sooner or later, you have to be exposed, this stage is the best. ”

Xu Fei didn't elaborate, and said, "Third, I will study the following work with you." Fourth, prepare Zhang Yimou's 200 million blockbuster. Fifth, drop by to Japan. ”

“......”

Lao Song waited, waited for a long time without moving, and asked, "What about the left?"

Teacher Xu's expression was subtle, he leaned closer, and whispered, "Hey, do you understand that Wang is really fake?"

............

Both the Hong Kong Golden Statue and the Taiwan Golden Horse have supporting film festivals, which are usually held before the awards ceremony.

The Hong Kong International Film Festival is a non-competition film festival that focuses on screenings, premieres, exchanges, and encouraging new talents. Every year, a group of rookie directors come over, or literary films premiere, which is an opportunity for publicity.

Xu Fei received double invitations from the film festival and the Academy Awards.

The former attended a symposium on "The Positioning of Chinese Films in the 21st Century", and the latter served as the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

He simply packed up at the hotel and headed to the venue. It just opened today, and there are two opening films: Yang Fan's "Garden Dream" and Jean-Jacques Bernarques's "Death Transfer".

This kind of film festival is purely an artistic exchange, and there is no commercial nature.

When he arrived, "Dream in the Garden" had already finished playing and entered the interview session. But it doesn't matter, I've seen it many times in my previous life.

It probably tells the story of an aunt's wife who falls in love with her husband's cousin, but the cousin likes a man, and the man runs away in the end. fully reveals the tragic truth of "Ji Ai's Straight Daughter".

"Mr. Xu! Mr. Song!"

Tsui Hark, who was sitting in the front row, beckoned to give them a seat, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here to participate?"

"I got the invitation, and I just got off the plane. ”

"Then you should be in the seminar, and you can rest today. ”

"Look at Lao Wang. ”

Tsui Hark's eyes turned to the stage, the young Wu Yanzu was in the center, Wang Zuxian and Miyazawa Rie were on the left and right.

The reporter went crazy, and 90% of it was concentrated on Lao Wang. After filming "Green Snake" in 93, she bid farewell to the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry, and "Dream in the Garden" is a return work after 8 years.

In fact, there is also a "East Evil and West Poison", and all the scenes were cut by the king of sunglasses.

“......”

Xu Fei also looked at the stage, Lao Wang was not very old, only 34 years old, but he was already tired. In another two years, she finished filming her last drama "Beautiful Shanghai" and completely retired.

On the other hand, Rie Miyazawa, who is still at her peak at the age of 28, is beautiful and moving.

He had a nostalgic look, Tsui Hark misunderstood, and said with a smile: "She hasn't been back to Hong Kong for a long time, I'm here to cheer today, and I'll introduce you later." ”

"You don't have to know. ”

Xu Fei waved his hand and said, "Some people are close, so it's boring." ”

"Well, Mr. Xu is at a high level. ”

Old Monster Xu nodded, Wang Zuxian! Back then, he was also boiling with Lin Jianyue......

The interview ended and left the venue one after another.

Lao Wang jumped down with a false height of 172cm and gave Xu Laowei a hug: "Thank you for coming." ”

"I've been waiting for you, are you in the mood to come out and film now?"

"I ......"

She paused and said, "Actually, I'm ready to take a break." ”

Tsui Hark was also stunned and said seriously: "Unless you have completely lost interest in the movie, don't talk like that." If you want to film, just tell me, there are some roles that others can't play. ”

"I'll think about it. ”

Lao Wang wiped his body and left.

Tsui Hark watched her leave, and suddenly said, "Is there one kind, one kind ......?"

"What does it feel like the Golden Age is dying?" Xu Fei continued.

"Well, that's it. Even if I want to make martial arts movies, I can't find actors. ”

Xu Laowei sighed, and thought to himself, or will this film ask her to make a cameo?

The three words of Wang Zuxian have also been popular in Japan and South Korea.

............

Xu Fei rested for one night and went to the film festival on the 7th.

This year is divided into several units, such as Fan Carnival, Window of the World, Asian Vision, Central and South American Style Paintings, etc. In fact, they are all screenings.

There is no gold content and competitiveness, the value is publicity, and the film company can also pick some independent films.

So many Asian filmmakers came, and Xu Fei met two well-known Korean directors who came to the exhibition with their works: Kim Ki-duk in "Drifting Desire Room" and Bong Joon-ho in "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door".

Bong Joon-ho, a Korean flag-bearer, "Memories of Murder", "Monster of the Han River", "Snowpiercer", "Parasite".

"Kidnapping the Dog at the Door" is his debut novel.

followed by the symposium on "The Positioning of Chinese Films in the 21st Century", and I unexpectedly met Chen Guofu and participated as the representative of Columbia in Asia.

There are also some industry insiders on Hong Kong Island, including Shu Qi, the founder of "Film Fortnightly".

This Shu Qi is not Bi Shu Qi, a famous Hong Kong film scholar, and he initiated the Academy Awards.
