The Hong Kong International Film Festival has become one of the most important film festivals in Asia and even in the world, attracting wide attention from the world every year.

But unlike Europe's three major international film festivals, which focus on art.

The Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) coexists with art and commerce, so more and more filmmakers from all over the world come to participate every time, especially this year.

Of course, as a high-profile film festival, no one can come if they want to.

Except for those who are actively invited by the organizing committee, everyone who wants to participate must register first, and then the organizing committee will review and determine whether they are eligible.

If so, the organizing committee will issue an invitation letter.

If not, sorry, the organizing committee will not give any response, that is, if you want to participate in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, you must have an invitation letter.

October 2 is the closing ceremony of the film festival.

Female stars from all walks of life once again showed off on the red carpet, and the word 'competing for beauty' was vividly displayed by some female stars who wanted to use it to hype.

For example, Hollywood actress Julia Roberts.

She was wearing a red dress with a deep V-neck and a high slit today, with the V-neck opening all the way to the navel and the slit almost to her hip bone.

A dress like this is usually walked with extra care to avoid walking naked.

But Julia Roberts not only didn't worry about walking away, but deliberately pulled down her skirt when she walked to the end of the red carpet and went up the stairs.

Suddenly the spring is over.

Sharp-eyed ones even noticed that Julia Roberts didn't seem to be wearing panties!

Examples like Julia Roberts are just a few examples, and there are many more, with the sole purpose of attracting the attention of journalists.

There are a lot of high-profile spots on the red carpet.

Including French Rose Sophie?? Marceau, Jennifer Connelly, who just won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Life is Beautiful",

and famous Hollywood actress Demi Moore.

It is worth mentioning that Demi Moore is the heroine of the original "Ghost Love", although now because of Wei Xiong, the heroine has been replaced.

But Demi Moore remains one of Hollywood's most famous actresses.

Straight to the point.

Among the many high-profile focuses, Wei Xiong's wives are naturally included.

Attending the closing ceremony today were Li Jiaxin, Wang Guxian, Li Zhi and Kwan Zhilin. They don't get attention because of their achievements in film.

It's because of their beauty and identity.

When they appeared on the red carpet, the eyes of the audience were immediately attracted, like metal meeting a magnet, and they could no longer take their eyes off.

Beauty knows no nationality or race.

This is especially true of top beauties, even if they have unique aesthetics, they have to admit that Li Jiaxin's four daughters are as dazzling as starlight.

Many were even stunned.

Wei Xiong appeared last as usual, and this time as a female companion was Chen Derong, the heroine of one of the closing film "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

I saw Chen Derong wearing a pink princess dress.

With her youthful and beautiful appearance, she looks particularly pure and lovely. It is said that before this, Chen Derong was not famous in the world.

But at this time, holding Wei Xiong's hand, the situation was different.

It is estimated that her photos and materials will appear in the world's major media tomorrow. Of course, there is also the scandal between her and Wei Xiong.

What? You say she's young?

You must know that Li Jiaxin was not 16 years old when she was in tow with Wei Xiong, and she was 1 year younger than the current Chen Derong, although Chen Derong looked very small.

Just looking at the face, he is 15 years old at most.

But this is obviously not a problem for men, there is never a shortage of men in this world who like Lori, and there are even more evil ones.

It was the first time to attend such a large and grand event, and Chen Derong was obviously nervous.

However, as an actor, of course she knows how to hide her expression, but Wei Xiong's movements are slightly stiff when facing the camera.

It is said that the media present today is the largest in the history.

There were 15 TV stations alone, and almost all other well-known international media were present. The reason why it is so sought after,

In addition to the gradual increase in the international influence of Hong Kong films,

The most direct reason is that "Pirates of Malacca" grossed $783 million, a figure that can be described as terrifying.

You must know that this box office surpasses the first and second installments of the Star Wars series.

second only to "Alien E.T." directed by Steven Spielberg, and the gap is only a "paltry" 10 million.

Ranked second in the history of the global box office.

When Webster Films announced the box office of "Pirates of Malacca 1", not to mention the Hong Kong film industry, the entire world film industry was stunned.

As the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole leopard is known.

Since Hong Kong filmmakers can produce a film like "Pirates of Malacca" that can harvest horror box office, its strength is self-evident.

Even compared to Hollywood, I'm afraid it's not far behind.

More than a decade ago, Hollywood established its hegemony as a commercial film supremacy with the Star Wars franchise, is it now Hong Kong's turn?

Such a question may be a bit exaggerated.

But it is an indisputable fact that Hong Kong movies have become a major threat to Hollywood, even if they are as crazy as James?? Cameron also had to admit it.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said:

Hong Kong filmmakers are very good and have a very strong learning ability, and I found out when I first worked on "Terminator 2".

In the past, they were just planners and guides.

Now this man has appeared.

Thereupon...... Everyone has seen that Hong Kong movies have exploded with incredible power, and we must pay attention to this force.

If Hollywood filmmakers continue to be self-righteous,

Always thinking that I am the number one in the world, then in less than 10 years, Hong Kong movies will surpass Hollywood, you can think that I am alarmist.

Hong Kongers may want you to think so, too.

At the end of the article that published Cameron's interview, the editor also unceremoniously pointed out that "Pirates of Malacca" can completely surpass "Alien E.T.".

It only takes a few more days for theaters in the United States.

Soon after Wei Xiong's arrival, the award ceremony for the closing ceremony began.

Compared with last year, the competition for various awards this year is more intense, and after some competition, the Golden Bauhinia Award was won by "Ruan Lingyu" directed by Guan Jinpeng.

The film stars Leung Ka-fai, Maggie Cheung and Qin Han.

Ruan Lingyu is a famous actress in the silent film era of Chinese cinema. She joined the film industry at the age of 16 and shot 29 films in just nine years.

The yield is quite high.

The roles she plays, from schoolgirls, rural girls, prostitutes, to nuns and beggars, cover a wide range of roles, including decent characters and villains.

But basically tragic endings are inevitable.

Ruan Lingyu's serious attitude and self-demanding performance philosophy have made her a beautiful woman with many audiences and loved by countless people.

At that time, his status was second only to the actress Hu Die.

However, her entangled romantic relationship with Cheung Tat-min, Tang Jishan and Cai Chusheng made her feel distressed, and she also became the object of attention of the public and the press.

March 8, 1935

Unable to get rid of her inner resentment and despair, Ruan Lingyu made the final silent resistance to the conservative forces, leaving a terrible suicide note and committing suicide by taking medicine.

Directed by Kwan Jinpeng, "Ruan Lingyu" is strictly a semi-documentary.

It is a typical masterpiece of "recording movies with movies and using actors to feel actors", showing the legendary life of a generation of movie star Ruan Lingyu.

Among them, the leading actor Maggie Cheung also won the Best Actress Award.

A film won two awards, and "Ruan Lingyu" was undoubtedly the biggest winner tonight, and director Kwan Jinpeng almost smiled from ear to ear.

Everyone they see is a smiling face.

As one of the two closing ceremonial films, the actor Zhou Yunfa of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was also nominated for the Best Actor Award.

But in the end, he lost to Tim Robbins, the actor of the Hollywood film "Super Player".

There was also a small episode at the end of the awards ceremony.

When Beyond took the stage for the finale performance and sang the famous song "Glory Days", the South African actors in the audience were moved to tears.

And after the singing, he got up and applauded excitedly.

In early 1990, WHO and the Wei Hongdao-Lam Shirley Charitable Foundation also participated in the second charity trip to Africa.

This is mainly because Kenya has a traditional music festival that happens to be held every five years.

In addition to beyond, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Michael?? Jackson and other superstars also participated, making it the largest ever.

In Kenya,

Huang Jiaju, the lead singer of beyond, witnessed the suffering life of African people due to war and famine, and his heart was quite touched.

After returning to Hong Kong, China,

Huang Jiaju also read in the newspaper the story of Mandela's lifelong struggle for black South Africans, and he did not hesitate to be trapped in prison for 27 years.

And from this, there is a strong inner resonance.

Huang Jiaju believes that Mandela's spiritual connotation is about struggle and hope, which coincides with the background of Beyond's previous hard work.

So he wrote the song "Glory Days".

Although the South African-American Hollywood actor and many in the venue couldn't understand Cantonese, there were simultaneous translations on the screens on both sides of the stage.

And the song is very widely sung, and the album is selling well in the United States.

As the South African actor stood up and applauded, some of the people next to him also stood up, and then more and more, and finally all of them stood up.

How shocking the scene of thousands of people standing up and applauding at the same time in the entire venue!

The closing ceremony also ended in such a shock. After that, all the invited guest reporters moved to the dinner hall next door.

The Opening Dinner and Closing Ceremony Dinner have become the standard fixtures of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

and an indispensable part.

Because this is a rare platform where top filmmakers from all over the world can freely communicate with each other, as long as you have the corresponding talent.

Many people who come to the festival are not for the festival itself,

It's about attending the opening and closing dinners, through which they can get to know and make friends with people who need them.

These people may be of help to them at some point in the future.

Wei Xiongxiang comes from the aura of the protagonist, no matter the occasion, no matter how many people there are. Only he is there, and he must be the most eye-catching focus of the audience.

As the de facto ruler of Hong Kong films, and on this occasion.

He had to brace himself to deal with the people who came forward to talk to him, basically producers and directors, and some top stars.

Those whose wrists are not big enough are mostly self-aware.

……

"You two weren't very lucky today, both of you lost. Lin Qingxia took a sip of her wine glass and said with a smile.

Opposite her were Chow Yunfa and Leung Ka-fai.

In addition, Li Jiaxin and Anita Mui sat next to her.

Speaking of this year's Best Actor, in addition to Zhou Yunfa, Leung Jiahui was also nominated for his wonderful performance in "Ruan Lingyu".

But in the end, both men were defeated.

"Jiahui just won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards, and I definitely won't feel sorry, I haven't gained anything in the past two or three years. ”

Zhou Yan was slightly depressed when he expressed his feelings.

Originally, he had great expectations, because "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is a film with quite artistic flavor and depth.

Even the murder scene is as unique and beautiful as a work of art.

And he thinks he's playing really well.

It's a pity that I met "Ruan Lingyu", and when the Golden Bauhinia Award and Best Actress are all in Hong Kong, the Best Actor will be destined to miss him.

Otherwise, it will inevitably make the outside world think that the fairness of the review is impartial.

As for what he said, 'I haven't gained anything in the past two or three years,' and that's true.

Although he has made several box office hits in recent years and has been nominated many times, he always misses the award in the end.

He didn't have an opinion about the award because he wasn't too eager for it.

"Hehe, you can be content, it's rare that all the films are big hits, you can't take all the good things in this world. ”

Anita Mui said with a smile.

Li Jiaxin also echoed: "It's just that people like me who haven't even been nominated haven't said anything yet, so I've debuted for so many years." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but say angrily: "Please, how many scenes have you only filmed?"

It has been four or five years since Li Jiaxin's debut, although she has the title of "the most beautiful beauty pageant champion" on her head, and she has also participated in several plays.

But I haven't really put my mind on the movie.

It's really a leisure activity when filming is boring. In this way, she naturally will not seriously study her acting skills.

To put it bluntly, it's a vase.

In fact, what Lin Qingxia really wants to say is 'your acting skills still need to be improved', but after all, there are so many people, it is obviously not good to say it so bluntly.

But Li Jiaxin is self-aware.

said with a smile: "You just say that my acting skills are not good." ”

She doesn't care if her acting skills are good or bad, who let her find a good man, she is still a master among others, and she can still be respected by others.

Lin Qingxia also smiled: "I'm you to save face." ”

As she spoke, she cut the steak and sent it to her mouth, and just after chewing two bites, a nauseous feeling suddenly rose from her stomach, and she frowned suddenly,

Hurriedly put down the knife in his right hand and covered his mouth.

"What's wrong?"

Liang Jiahui, who was sitting opposite, asked with concern, and the others also looked at him, he was fine just now, why did he suddenly do this?

The feeling of nausea comes and goes quickly.

Lin Qingxia took out a tissue, spit out the contents of her mouth, and then smiled: "It's okay, you guys talk first, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Li Jiaxin glanced at Lin Qingxia's back.

He glanced at Wei Xiong, who was talking to someone not far away, with a thoughtful expression. After a while, she also stood up: "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

When she came to the bathroom, Lin Qingxia was washing her hands in front of the sink.

Li Jiaxin walked over and stood next to her, turned on another faucet to wash her hands, looked at Lin Qingxia through the mirror, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Qingxia turned off the faucet and took out a piece of paper to wipe her hands: "My stomach is a little uncomfortable, it's nothing." ”

Li Jiaxin saw that there was no one else in the bathroom, so she groaned and asked pointedly, "You shouldn't have come this month, right?"

Lin Qingxia was stunned.

At first, she didn't understand why Li Jiaxin suddenly asked this for no reason, but she reacted in an instant, and her face changed slightly.

In the past, she was very punctual in her monthly affairs, so she rarely paid special attention to it.

At this time, when Li Jiaxin asked her like this, she found that it had been postponed for more than a week, no wonder she always felt as if she had forgotten something these days.

"This ......"

Lin Qingxia's heart immediately swelled with joy and worry. The happy thing is that she finally got her wish, and the worry is that she is afraid that Wei Xiong will oppose her giving birth to the child.

It's more embarrassing, though.

She has a good relationship with Li Jiaxin, but after all, she is Wei Xiong's rightful wife, and she is Wei Xiong's girlfriend at most.

Li Jiaxin saw Lin Qingxia's reaction and knew that she had guessed right.

He immediately sighed and said helplessly: "Don't think too much about it, go back and test it yourself first, and then talk about the rest." ”

……

"At the moment, all the pre-shooting preparations are over, and the film can be started next month, but the production process may be a bit long. ”

Cameron shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I'm not in a hurry, and I need a classic, so it's okay to take a little longer. Wei Xiong smiled slightly and said.

In the original history,

Considering the preparation time, "Titanic" took a total of five years to produce, so Cameron's words were already expected by him.

It is worth mentioning that the script he created, Cameron did not significantly revise.

Only a few minor changes were made, and when Cameron handed him the revised script, he had a visibly frustrated look on his face.

At the same time, I honestly say that I can't find a place to write.

He originally suggested that Cameron also sign the screenplay, but Cameron politely declined because he didn't think he had done anything.

"I'm sure he'll be a timeless classic. ”

Cameron said confidently.

After finishing his conversation with Cameron, Wei Xiong walked over to the table where the meal was placed, grabbed something to eat, and prepared to find a place to sit for a while.

As soon as he turned around, he almost collided with someone.
