When Jiang Ran was discussing with Zou Wenhuai in Golden Harvest Company to borrow Jackie Chan to star in "Police Story", Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked Jiang Ran tentatively if he needed Golden Harvest to share the film investment funds.

After Jiang Ran heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he said to Zou Wenhuai apologetically: "Uncle Huai, thank you for your kindness." It's just that this movie is a little special, it is a film cooperation agreement that I proposed when I sponsored the police force last year, and now it's not good to bring Golden Harvest into it. ”

After Zou Wenhuai heard Jiang Ran's words, he didn't get angry after knowing that Jiang Ran was not interested in Golden Harvest's investment, but said lightly: "Oh, there is such a thing, then forget it, I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in movies in the future." ”

"Thank you Uncle Huai for your understanding!"

After Jiang Ran obtained Zou Wenhuai's consent, Jackie Chan officially signed a contract with Ran Feng to become the martial arts instructor and starring in "Police Story".

When Jiang Ran began to prepare for the movie "Police Story" wholeheartedly, Ran Feng Film suddenly received an invitation from the "Film Biweekly" magazine, inviting Jiang Ran to participate in the award ceremony of the first Hong Kong Film Awards.

Jiang Ran only reflected at this time that the Hong Kong Film Awards began to be established this year, and the founding unit was actually a private magazine, unlike other film awards at the beginning, which had official background support.

Looking at the time written on the invitation, on March 9, 1982, Jiang Ran was actually a little coerced, because it was now the end of February, but Jiang Ran didn't see any news about the Film Awards in the media before receiving this invitation.

Jiang Ran took the invitation card and asked Liu Liwei: "Ah Wei, which films are on the nomination list for this Academy Awards, and whether our company's films have been nominated." ”

Liu Liwei was obviously a little confused, "Mr. Jiang, I haven't seen the list of nominees anywhere, but some time ago I heard that "Film Fortnightly" was organizing a Hong Kong film award, and I originally thought that this award would not start after a while. ”

Jiang Ran was a little speechless, it turned out that he didn't know it alone.

"Maybe the list of nominees hasn't come out yet. Jiang Ran could only understand it this way.

When Jiang Ran, Jackie Chan and others were busy writing the script of "Police Story", the time had quietly come to March, and the "Shaolin Temple" that Ran Feng participated in the distribution was also fully painted in Hong Kong, in fact, the temporary theater organized by Ran Feng had already painted this movie on February 24.

Compared with history, because Ran Feng participated in the distribution, the scale and publicity of this film were increased, and the box office increased a lot compared with the historical 16 million Hong Kong dollars, and the final box office reached 20.32 million, which is the third film in Hong Kong to have a box office of more than 20 million.

On the release of the movie "Shaolin Temple", the ten theaters organized by Ran Feng were released for a total of 25 days, and the box office received 8.84 million Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, the theater first divided forty percent, and then removed about 800,000 declared expenses, and in the end, the movie "Shaolin Temple" brought nearly 900,000 profits to Ranfeng Films, although it was not much, but it made Ranfeng Film Company have a connection with leftist films, laying the foundation for Jiang Ran to enter the mainland film circle in the future.

Jackie Chan has to participate in the editing of the script of "Police Story" during this period of time, so he often stays in Ran Feng's company, so of course he knows that Ran Feng participated in the distribution of "Shaolin Temple".

Jackie Chan thought of the "Young Master Dragon" he participated in, and under the attack of "Best Partner" and "Shaolin Temple", he only achieved a box office of more than 16 million, and he was a little depressed.

There is a reason why Jackie Chan is depressed, although the box office results of "Young Master Dragon" are already quite good, but if there are no other two movies, the box office of "Young Master Dragon" may have entered the 20 million level.

"Ah Ran, the box office of my "Young Master Long" could have reached 20 million, but now under your sniping, there are only more than 10 million, and you Ran Feng will have to compensate me!" Jackie Chan joked to Jiang Ran with some depression.

Jiang Ran somewhat understood Jackie Chan's depression, and comforted him with a smile: "Okay, let's do "Police Story" better, and we will definitely push Ah Long into the ranks of 20 million box office actors." ”

Time flies, and March 9 has arrived in the blink of an eye. It's time for the awards ceremony of Hong Kong's inaugural Film Awards.

In the past period, Jiang Ran has also learned that there is no list of film nominees at this year's Academy Awards, and all award-winning films and personnel will be directly announced at the awards ceremony.

In addition, Jiang Ran also learned that Hong Kong's film practitioners and film companies actually do not attach importance to or even take this film award organized by the "Film Fortnightly" magazine seriously.

However, when Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong got off the bus in front of the Hong Kong Arts Center in Wan Chai, and saw that there was neither a red carpet nor a media interview in front of the art center, let alone fans watching, this cold scene suddenly made Jiang Ran feel that he still overestimated the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards in the current Hong Kong film industry.

Jiang Ran thought that after experiencing the desertion at the door, his awareness of this Academy Awards was already very low. However, when Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong walked into the awards hall together, he felt that his senses for this Hong Kong Film Awards were once again refreshed.

Jiang Ran saw some media in the award hall, and some movie fans came to the scene, so that Jiang Ran finally found a little lively atmosphere of the award ceremony.

However, when Jiang Ran saw these Hong Kong filmmakers who appeared at the awards ceremony, Jiang Ran only felt that 10,000 alpacas flashed in front of him in his heart. Jiang Ran didn't see a few people wearing formal dresses at the entire award ceremony, which made Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong, who were wearing dresses, very conspicuous and embarrassed as soon as they entered the hall.

"Ah Ran, this way!" After Xu Hark saw Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong arriving, he shouted to Jiang Ran and the others, and at the same time relieved the embarrassment of the two.

Jiang Ran saw that Tsui Hark was unkempt and dressed casually, and asked a little speechlessly, "Brother Ke, did you come from the set?"

Tsui Hark tilted his head and walked around Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong with a smile, until he saw Jiang Ran's face starting to turn blue, and then teased Jiang Ran: "Ah Ran, you and Ah Hong are the most eye-catching in the audience tonight, and everyone's eyes on the scene have been attracted by you." ”

Jiang Ran said angrily: "Get out! Who knew that this film awards ceremony would be like this." ”

Zhong Chuhong also began to complain beside him at this time.

"That's right, other film award ceremonies are very grand, who knew that it would be like this in Hong Kong. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and patted Jiang Ran again, complaining: "It's all you, you must wear it so grandly, how embarrassing it is now." ”

Jiang Ran was very innocent, so he could only shrug his shoulders and comfort himself: "It's already like this, so let's take it as a kind of support for Hong Kong's own film festival." ”

At this time, some other acquaintances and film company bosses also came over to greet Jiang Ran, and Jiang Ran's grand dress was also repeatedly ridiculed by everyone. Fortunately, the arrival of Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian finally comforted Jiang Ran, because these two were also dressed in formal clothes.

"Oh, Ah Fa, you are here, and I am finally relieved to see you and Ah Lian, and I am no longer so conspicuous. ”

Chow Yun-fat looked at the dress of Jiang Ran and the two, looked down at his outfit, and said helplessly: "As soon as I came in, I began to regret wearing formal clothes today." ”

When Jiang Ran and the others got together to chat, the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony began. The master of ceremonies of this award ceremony was Ng Ka Lian and Zhan Xiaoping.

Before the awards ceremony begins, there is the Slide Show, a brief history of Hong Kong cinema produced by Sin Qiran, and then the actual award ceremony.

In addition to the top ten Chinese and foreign language films, only five awards were set up at the ceremony.

Among them, the Best Film Award was won by "Father and Son", and the Best Director Award was also won by Fang Yuping, the director of "Father and Son".

The other three awards, Best Editor and Best Actor and Actress were won by Zhang Jianting, editor of "Hu Yue's Story", Xu Guanwen of "Modern Bodyguard", and Hui Yinghong of "Elders".

Jiang Ran's Ranfeng Film Company has also gained something, and the two movies produced in 81, "Ghost Horse Many Stars" and "Nightclub" are among the top ten Chinese films, and Jiang Ran's dress is finally not allowed to wear in vain.

After the awards ceremony, the organizers also screened a British film - "The French Lieutenant's Woman", so that the first Hong Kong Film Awards finally came to an end.

For Jiang Ran, the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was a disappointing and embarrassing experience.
