――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
With the passage of time, the anger in Lin Jianyue's heart not only did not disappear, but the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, because Chen Mengyao should have been his.
Although this is not a wife-snatching hatred, it is almost the same.
Just as women are always selfish about their feelings, men are always stingy with women. Except, of course, that the mind is not normal.
And even if he doesn't talk about women, the loss of reality makes him difficult to let go of for a while.
Let's not talk about the TV series that ATV is preparing.
Mai Jia is also writing a script for Chen Mengyao, and now that the script is not good, Chen Mengyao will leave first, and no one can accept it.
But what if it's unacceptable?
Don't say it's him, even if he is Lao Tzu, he can't fight Wei Xiong, if he really doesn't know the current affairs, he will only be injured in the end.
"-yes. The more he thought about it, the more angry Lin Jianyue became, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.
"Knock knock knock. ”
"Come in. ”
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Mai has something to look for you. The secretary pushed the door in, looking at her slightly timid expression, it is estimated that Lin Jianyue has been frightened a lot these times.
"Ask him to come in. ”
After the secretary went out, Mai Jia, who had a big bald head, walked into the office, and he didn't need Lin Jianyue to greet him, he found a place to sit down.
Then he put a document in front of Lin Jianyue: "The script, it was just written yesterday, you can take a look." ”
"Everyone is gone, what's the use of the script. ”
Now that the entire Jianye is relying on Mai Jia, Lin Jianyue knows very well in his heart, so even if he is in a bad mood, he does not fully show it.
But his face stinks so much that even a fool can see it.
"In the past few days, I have specially changed the script, even if there is no Chen Mengyao, I can still shoot, I am very optimistic about this script. ”
"You changed the script?" Lin Jianyue picked up the script.
"From the day I saw her running to work as a secretary for Wei Xiong in the newspaper, I started to change, and the story setting and main line have basically not changed. ”
"It's just that the original role of Chen Mengyao has been reduced and the role of other characters has been increased. ”
"The New Best Partner?"
Seeing the name of the script, Lin Jianyue frowned slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this script should be a continuation of the structure of the previous best partner, right?"
"It's a little, but the plot is much worse. ”
"Since it is a continuation of the previous best partner series, is there no Xu Guanjie?"
"Don't worry about this, I have already talked to Xu Guanjie, he is willing to play this play, and now he is mainly the candidate for the heroine. ”
"You just have to make up your mind. Lin Jianyue consciously delegated power.
"Okay, I'll get a report for you when I'm ready. Mai Jia did not refuse, he will be the director of this film himself.
And casting is the right of the director.
After talking about business, Mai Jia did not leave immediately, but said with a slightly hesitant face: "I shouldn't have said these words. ”
"But you and I are in the same boat now, so I thought I should say it. ”
"Chen Mengyao's incident is really annoying, but you should know that the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry is now under the control of Wei Xiong. ”
"This kind of control is even stronger than the Shaw Brothers back then. ”
"If Jianye wants to develop, he can't turn his face with Wei Xiong, otherwise he just needs to say a casual word, let alone release the film, and he can't even shoot it. ”
After a pause, Mai Jia continued
"Ling Zun is over seventy years old this year, and this time he had a heart attack, to say something disrespectful, if it wasn't found out by the secretary, the result would be really hard to say. ”
But according to rumors, Ling Zun has not yet established a successor. ”
"Therefore, I believe that Jianye's future performance is very important to you, Mr. Lin. No matter how angry you are, it shouldn't be as important as inheriting the family business. ”
was said by Mai Jia to his face, Lin Jianyue's face immediately looked a little unsightly.
"Don't worry, I can tell which is more important. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm talking too much. If nothing else, I'll go out first. With that, Mai Jia got up and left.
He actually knew very well that his words would make Lin Jianyue unhappy, but he still had to say it.
As he said, he and Lin Jianyue are now in the same boat, and he doesn't want to suffer from the fish pond because of Lin Jianyue's ignorance of current affairs.
As for whether Lin Jianyue will wear small shoes for him in the future?
He wasn't worried at all.
Because Lin Jianyue needs him.
……
Of course, Wei Xiong didn't care about Lin Jianyue's thoughts. In his eyes, Lin Jianyue is a small character no different from ordinary people.
What to do since it is done, such as doing - secretary.
Since the first day of work, Chen Mengyao was pushed down on the sofa by her half-push, and he really couldn't wait.
Seriously, Chen Mengyao's figure and skin are really well maintained.
It's not like 36 at all, if she doesn't tell others her age, 99 out of 100 will definitely say that she is only 26 years old this year.
As for the remaining 1, it is poor eyesight.
He believed that in order to maintain such a state, Chen Mengyao must have spent a lot of effort and money, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.
Since that day.
Just like when he trained Monica, Chen Mengyao had to eat his big stick almost every day, and every time Chen Mengyao's body couldn't stand it.
He used his true qi to help him recover, and then continued.
In this way, Chen Mengyao has an hour or two every day immersed in wave after wave, completely unstoppable, and obsessed with the wonderfulness.
She's not a teenage or twenty-year-old girl.
In the 8 years since giving birth to her daughter, she has also had several boyfriends, and all of them have had sex. After all, at her age, it was the time of need.
But no man has ever been able to give her that experience.
There is really a gap between comparisons.
So from the beginning of the half-push, to the later twisting and pinching, and then to the current gradually getting used to it, it only took more than a week.
Looking at the beautiful woman who is constantly rising and falling on her body, with a look of fascination on her face.
A smug smile appeared on Wei Xiong's face.
The so-called two-month employment period is certainly true, and he does what he says. But after two months expire, will Chen Mengyao be willing to leave?
It is estimated that Chen Mengyao is reluctant to leave now.
After appreciating Chen Mengyao's wave-like state, Wei Xiong focused on the document in his hand again, which was just sent by the Film Association.
A proposal for the reform of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
Eleven years ago, in 1977, Chan Tat-man, then Director of the Cultural Affairs Department of Hong Kong, proposed to the Urban Council to establish the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
To bring excellent films from all over the world to Hong Kong audiences.
This proposal was quickly supported by Legislators and the British Government, and the first Hong Kong International Film Festival was officially launched in 1977.
The first edition of the festival was a pilot event organized by the City Council.
A total of 37 films were screened, with an audience of only about 16,000 and the screening venue was confined to the Hong Kong City Hall.
As a trial event, such results are barely considered a success.
Since 1978, the Hong Kong International Film Festival has been steadily developing and has been held every year during Easter since its fourth edition.
In its early years, the Hong Kong International Film Festival was small in scale and had a small selection of films.
It mainly imports and promotes internationally renowned films to Hong Kong. At that time, the international film festival was in an introduction period, and the goal was very simple.
Recommend good movies.
The 80s - At the beginning of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the positioning of the Hong Kong International Film Festival changed.
While continuing to introduce and introduce excellent international films, it actively presents new Asian films to foreign filmmakers and audiences.
It is worth mentioning that the Hong Kong International Film Festival does not have an award, and it is a non-competitive screening event.
This is also a helpless move.
After all, in the 70s and early 80s, the influence of Hong Kong films in the world, especially in developed countries in Europe and the United States, was still quite limited.
What is more needed is to learn and continue to strengthen yourself.
But today, it is obvious that such rules can no longer meet the needs of Hong Kong film development, so reform is imperative.
After the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Society, the association became one of the organizers.
At the same time, the development of a reform plan began.
What Wei Xiong is holding now is the reform plan that Wu Siyuan, the executive director of the Film Association, has just sorted out after several rounds of deliberations.
The main purpose of this plan is to reform the basic rules of the film festival and turn non-competition into competition.
The first is to set up five separate units:
First, the main competition feature film unit, the main unit of the film festival, must have no more than 20 films per year, and must be new works screened for the first time.
Second, the non-competition unit collects excellent international films, which are limited to 10 films per session.
Priority will be given to new works by master directors who have won awards at the Cannes International Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival and Hong Kong International Film Festival.
Third, the main competition short film unit, each session shall not exceed 10 films, and must be new works screened for the first time.
Fourth, the classic review unit, there is no specific number, and whether you can participate depends on the specific situation, the purpose is to review the classic films of the past.
Fifth, the Director's Fortnight encourages the creation of new directors.
This was followed by the establishment of six awards:
The Grand Jury Prize is awarded to the most original or research-oriented film.
The Best Director Award is given to the best performing director.
Best Actress for Best Actress, Best Actor for Best Actor, Best Screenplay for Best Screenplay;
and the biggest award, the Golden Bauhinia Award, awarded to the best films.
In addition, there is a non-permanent award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is given to filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to film.
Compared with the previous period, the biggest change in the reformed Hong Kong International Film Festival is the establishment of awards.
This will increase the enthusiasm of the best films and filmmakers around the world, as well as increase the attention of the media and audiences.
In turn, the influence of the film festival will be enhanced.
Finally, the event time will be changed:
From the Easter period every year, it is moved to mid to late September every year, which lasts for half a month, staggering the time of the three major European film festivals.
Wei Xiong's goal is to make Hong Kong international film a major international film event on a par with the three major international film festivals.
This goal is noble and difficult.
……
After re-deliberation and determination that there was no other need for revision, the Hong Kong Film Association announced the reform plan in the "Daily Daily".
The merits of such a radical reform are obvious.
However, there are not without those who oppose it, and most of these people believe that the Hong Kong International Film Festival was founded for the purpose of academic research.
The reform of the Hong Kong Film Association has deviated from this original intention.
A few self-righteous scholars have openly criticized it in the newspapers, and not only Wei Xiong, but also the vast majority of Hong Kong people have scoffed at this.
As Huang Zhan wrote in the column of "Ming Pao":
"Since the Hong Kong International Film Festival exists, it should have the practical significance of its existence, rather than just occupying the pit but not. ”
"At least I haven't seen what the Hong Kong International Film Festival has done to Hong Kong films in the past ten years. ”
"I saw many people using this platform to entertain themselves, and some so-called experts were swaggering and deceiving themselves in order to promote themselves. ”
This is an extreme statement.
However, Huang Zhan's bad mouth is known to all Hong Kong people, and few people will really care about him.
If Huang Zhan's stinky mouth readers just laughed it off, then Jin Yong's specially nominated comment has to be taken seriously.
"Nothing in the world is static, even if it is a stubborn stone, it will gradually weathered with the passage of time and the changes of the times. ”
"Today's Hong Kong films are in the most golden period in history. ”
"The Hong Kong International Film Festival must follow the trend of the times and make appropriate changes. The point of this change is not how strong it is. ”
"It's about whether it's suitable and whether it's conducive to the development of Hong Kong films. ”
Two different language styles want to express the same meaning, and this also represents the thoughts of most people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Anyone with a little bit of a brain knows,
The reformed Hong Kong International Film Festival will be the best stage to showcase Hong Kong films and Hong Kong film culture to the world.
As Hong Kong filmmakers, they will also be the biggest highlight and the biggest beneficiary of this stage.
In a word, the tide is irreversible, and only by following the trend can we not be eliminated by history and can we always stand at the commanding heights of history.
……
Soon after the plan was announced, the Hong Kong Film Society held a press conference to formalize the reform plan of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
However, Wei Xiong, Shao Yifu, and Zou Wenhuai did not attend the press conference.
Instead, executive director Wu Siyuan is fully responsible.
When Wu Siyuan finished introducing the reform plan, it was time to enter the reporter's question session, and the reporter of "Wen Wei Po" immediately questioned the reform plan:
"Does Mr. Wu think it is really necessary to reform the festival?"
"Although Hong Kong films have developed rapidly in the past two years, there are still many shortcomings, and a platform for communication and learning is still needed. ”
Wu Siyuan came prepared today:
"Today's press conference comes after the Hong Kong Film Association has just completed a social survey report through Tian Tian Ribao and Ming Pao. ”
The survey report randomly interviewed 2,000 Hong Kong citizens. ”
"79.4% of the public believe that the reform plan of the Hong Kong International Film Festival will help improve the international influence of the festival itself. ”
At the same time, it is also conducive to improving the international competitiveness of Hong Kong films. ”
"It can even enhance the international image of Hong Kong as a whole. Only 4.2 per cent of the total number of people who believe that reforms are completely unnecessary are clear. ”
"The rest are non-commentatory, so I won't say more. ”
"I think the difference between these two numbers is telling. ”
"The benefits of reforming the Hong Kong International Film Festival are clear, and everything the Film Association does is for the future of Hong Kong films. ”
"I want those who disagree to think about it. Is it important to keep the reputation of academics, or is it important to have tangible interests? ”
"Finally, I would like to give you an example, the Cannes International Film Festival in France is one of the three major international A-level film festivals. ”
"It is thanks to the festival that Cannes has transformed from an obscure town into a world-renowned tourist and cultural city. ”
"And every year, the French government allocates a special allocation to the festival. ”
This shows the importance that the French government attaches to the festival. ”
"Even the French government takes it so seriously, and I don't understand why there are still some people who oppose it in Hong Kong, where the film industry is more developed. ”
The second reporter stood up and asked:
"Hello Mr. Wu, I personally fully agree with this reform plan of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, but I have a question. ”
"In the past, the Hong Kong International Film Festival was mainly held in the Hong Kong City Hall, but if the reform plan is followed, the Hong Kong City Hall may be a little smaller. ”
"Does the Film Association have any plans for this?"
Wu Siyuan nodded.
"On this issue, the Film Society has indeed thought about building a large venue in Tsim Sha Tsui East, on the seaside overlooking Victoria Harbour, as the main venue for the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Hong Kong Film Awards in the future. ”
"In addition, a walk of stars will be built. ”
"To recognise and honour those who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong's film industry. However, due to time constraints, it will definitely be too late this year. ”
"So this year's festival will be the main venue at the Hong Kong City Hall. ”
The reporter asked: "This is good news, I don't know how the plan is going now? When will construction start?"
"There are two main issues at the moment, the first is funding and the second is land. ”
"As for funding, our plan is that part of the film association will raise its own funds and part of it will be funded by the Hong Kong government, and it would be best if the Hong Kong government allocated all the funds. ”
"As for the land, the plan has been sent in and is awaiting approval. ”
"If there is no problem with the funding and land approval, construction can start within two months, and the main project is expected to be completed before the opening of the festival next year. ”
A male reporter in the third row was given the opportunity to ask a question:
"Mr. Wu, according to the reform plan, the highest award of the Hong Kong International Film Festival is the Golden Bauhinia Award, I wonder how the design of the trophy is going?"
"Hehe, the trophy was designed by Mr. Wei himself, and today I specially brought a sketch of the design of the trophy, which can be shown to you on the spot. ”
"I also asked for the opinions of the community. ”
