This time, the Hong Kong Directors Guild held an impromptu meeting, of course, not to celebrate the hot sale of "Jurassic Park", but to discuss two topics and an executive committee proposal.

Two topics are closely related to everyone: one is the overall quality decline of shoddy Hong Kong films, and the other is to announce the mainland's censorship standards for imported Hong Kong films.

The first one is that everyone hates it and is helpless at the same time, no one likes to make bad movies, but the salaries of celebrities are rising year by year, and they can only make do with insufficient funds.

In the 70s, Taiwanese films were also popular in Southeast Asia, and even sold to Europe, West Asia and North Africa. At that time, Taiwanese and Hong Kong films were banned by some countries because they were full of a lot of violent and bloody elements, and at the same time, it also made the Taiwan Information Bureau feel shameless.

The Taiwan authorities have no regard for the lives of the producers, and have directly banned the film producers, which contains a lot of violence, sexuality. Kung fu films with emotional elements, and at the same time prohibiting too shoddy films from being released on the island, suddenly boosted the atmosphere of the Taiwanese film industry and contributed to the glory of Taiwanese films in the late 70s.

But the British government in Hong Kong is not so strong, and if it dares to introduce such a policy, Hong Kong producers may be in trouble.

The biggest reason for the shoddy production of Hong Kong films today is that the artificial rise is too strong, and everyone has discussed for a long time without any results, and there is not even an actors' union in Hong Kong now. The schedule of big-name stars is full, and if you want to reduce your salary, people will not accept your drama directly, and this topic can only be stopped.

To ensure the quality of Hong Kong films, the biggest responsibility lies with the producers, and the directors can only shoot the film as well as possible. No one can be as selfless as Lin Zhengying, in another time and space, in order to shoot "Mr. Zombie", Lin Zhengying did not have enough budget to use his savings to support himself, and in the end, not only did he not get the director's salary, but instead posted a lot of money.

"Well, there is no need to discuss the previous topic," Wu Siyuan said, "Some time ago, I went to Beijing with Mr. Zou, Mr. Kang and others, and the mainland government has promised to introduce 10 Hong Kong-made films every year and release them in the mainland market in the form of account sharing." In principle, as long as it can pass the review of the relevant mainland departments, Hong Kong films have the opportunity to be released in the mainland, but this film censorship standard is somewhat vague. I pondered for a long time, and I also talked to mainland officials, and there are a few things to pay attention to: First, the protagonist of the film cannot be a bad guy, a robber, a thief, a murderer, or a spy agent. Social ......"

"Hahaha......" As soon as Wu Siyuan's words came out, a burst of laughter broke out in the venue. Because everyone knows that Kang Jianfei's position is inclined to the mainland, Wu Siyuan specifically used his film as an example, which naturally made people feel funny, and also offset some of the resistance to the mainland film department.

To be honest, any director who has been in the industry for more than 10 years will not be resentful because of the strict censorship in the mainland. Taiwan's film market has also come over like this, and in the film censorship standards set by the Taiwan Information Bureau more than 10 years ago, feudal superstition is not allowed.

"The second point," Wu Siyuan continued, "should have a positive theme, which can expose the dark and ugly side of society, but it cannot praise it or promote it. For example, Aaron's "Police Story" series, although there are bad things like collusion between police and bandits, it promotes justice as a whole, and this can definitely pass the censorship of the mainland. ”

As for the third point, that is, it must not involve cross-strait relations and smear the image of the mainland. I don't want to say this, everyone understands that because of the left-right position, Taiwan banned a lot of Hong Kong films, and this matter is the same for the mainland. ”

"The fourth point is that there can be no feudal superstition, that is to say, ghost films and zombie films must not be sold to the mainland."

"The fifth point is that you can't show a point, color. Not to mention that romantic films are sold to the mainland, even if they are sold to Taiwan, they must be strictly censored. ”

"Point 6 ......"

Wu Siyuan always said a lot, and in the end, everyone's hearts were cold, and most of the Hong Kong films were shot.

"This is not allowed, that is not allowed, what else can be filmed?" Zhang Jianting couldn't help but complain. In fact, his original intention was not to oppose the mainland, but to take cross-strait relations and the typical image of the mainland in Hong Kong as the object of ridicule. In the "Cousin, Hello" series, Zhang Jianting not only ridiculed the mainland regime, but also spoofed some bad status quo of the Kuomintang and Hong Kong.

Carefully watching the "Cousin, Hello" series, in fact, we can find that although Zhang Jianting has a lot of criticism about the mainland government, he recognizes: The two sides of the strait and three places are all one family, and everyone is Chinese.

It's just that Zhang Jianting is really high-end black in the film, and the mainland audience 20 years later will laugh at most, but now it hurts the self-esteem of the mainlanders, especially the government officials.

Films by other directors may still be sold to the mainland, but Zhang Jianting's films are mostly hopeless, but he is remembered by the mainland's cultural department.

Wu Siyuan knew that Zhang Jianting was dissatisfied with the mainland government, and he smiled: "These are not hard and fast rules, I just remind everyone to pay attention." What if a piece of rice can be bought on the mainland? The film market over there is becoming more and more prosperous, and everyone will have one more way out in the future. For those of us who are directors, it's a good time to release the same film in both mainland China and Taiwan, which is a good thing that we never dreamed of before. ”

There used to be a good time for Hong Kong films, when Hong Kong films were sold to both the mainland and Taiwan in the early 50s. However, after the anti-rightist movement in the mainland, this was not the case, especially after the establishment of the General Association for Freedom supported by the Taiwan authorities, and Hong Kong film companies were forced by the governments on both sides to choose between left and right sides, and this situation has continued for decades.

Director Tang Jili, who directed "Police Story 3" last year, said with a smile: "Chairman Wu is right, there is nothing wrong with making the movie positive and positive. Violence, sex. Although many people love to watch love films, they are not as large as the audience base of feature films. I dare to say that a film that meets the standards that Chairman Wu said can be sold in the Taiwan market with a lot less trouble in the censorship process. ”

Wang Jing saw that the atmosphere was a little bad, and joked: "Everyone has their own ambitions, everyone can shoot how they want in the future." I like to shoot, pee, and farts and women, but I don't want the mainland market, Ah Li is willing to make movies with healthy content, and that is also his choice. ”

"That's it, I'm not trying to force everyone, I'm just saying it for reference." Wu Siyuan didn't want to say much on this topic, so he said, "When the Directors Association was established, it was stipulated that the executive committee of the association would be held every two years, and the president would be re-elected for two consecutive terms at most. I've been president for four years, and I should have been re-elected a few months ago, but it was delayed by a lot of things. In half a month, the Directors Guild will move into the newly built building, and then we will have a general election meeting. The following meeting content will be announced by Vice President Chen......"

Chen Xinjian snapped the microphone and said, "The members of our executive committee discussed it and put forward a proposal. It is hoped that a spring dinner will be held every Spring Festival in the future, and three annual awards within the association will be presented at the spring dinner, namely the Most Outstanding Director Award, the Most Recommended Film Award and the Honorary Award. ”

Wu Siyuan added with a smile next to him: "We hope to make the Spring Tea Award a Golden Globe Award in Hong Kong step by step." ”

The Golden Globe Awards in the United States have always been known as the vane of the Oscars, and as soon as Wu Siyuan's words came out, they immediately received a response from all members. Because the more influential the Spring Tea Award is, the more influential they will be.

The proposal of the Hong Kong Directors Guild to hold a spring dinner every year was unanimously voted out without any suspense.

Kang Jianfei has been playing soy sauce from beginning to end, he has had enough of the limelight because of "Jurassic Park", there is no need to say anything more. After the meeting, Kang Jianfei chatted with a few friends and was about to leave, but Zou Chongyan shouted: "Mr. Kang stays." ”

"Miss Zou, is there something wrong?" Kang Jianfei turned around and asked.

Zou Chongyan smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Kang interested in having a cup of coffee?" ”

Zou Chongyan invited him to drink coffee, of course, not for the sake of love, Kang Jianfei smiled: "Of course." ”

The two of them found a café at the Four Seasons Hotel and sat down, without any greetings, Kang Jianfei asked, "Miss Zou, just tell me what's going on." ”

Zou Chongyan said: "Mr. Kang is quick to talk, then I won't sell it, I want to take the lead in forming a Hong Kong Film Industry Association." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "There are already two similar organizations in Hong Kong. ”

Zou Chongyan said: "I'm talking about official associations, not just non-governmental organizations. ”

Kang Jianfei stared at Zou Chongyan for a few seconds, and praised: "Miss Zou is so courageous. ”

Zou Chongyan said with a smile: "I also want to ask Mr. Kang for more support, otherwise without the participation of DreamWorks, the so-called official association is just empty words." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Miss Zou, tell me what you think. ”

Zou Chongyan elaborated: "The purpose of the New Film Association is: to protect and promote the rights and benefits of film practitioners; representing the film industry to express views and respond to its own interests and concerns; representing the film industry in negotiations with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or government authorities of other countries; bringing legal proceedings on behalf of members of the Association or other persons in the industry for infringement of copyright or other rights; and liaising with film industry associations around the world to promote, promote and safeguard the development of the film industry. ”

The corners of Kang Jianfei's mouth curled slightly, he didn't believe Zou Chongyan's nonsense, and reminded: "Let's talk about the point." ”

Zou Chongyan said slowly: "Today's Hong Kong films are too chaotic and disorderly from production to distribution, and the New Film Association must establish a sound system for the registration, certification and issuance of Hong Kong films, which is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of Hong Kong films, otherwise Hong Kong, the Oriental Hollywood, will never become the real Hollywood." ”

"It's not easy." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Zou Chongyan said awe-inspiringly: "It's not easy, and someone has to do it, and I think we, the big companies, have the ability and obligation to undertake this mission." ”

"I admire Miss Zou's dedication to Hong Kong films, but I still have important things to do today, so I'll leave first," Kang Jianfei threw a few Hong Kong dollars to pay on the table, stood up and said: "Miss Zou can send me the detailed regulations, if it is appropriate, I fully support it." ”

Zou Chongyan stood up and shook hands with Kang Jianfei, and said: "The mainland's official way, I also hope that Mr. Kang can dredge it up." ”

"No problem." Kang Jianfei gave the waiter a piece of Hong Kong paper as a tip, then looked at the watch and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Kang Jianfei leaving, Zou Chongyan smiled, the other party was really a smart person who didn't need to talk much.

Once the New Film Association is successfully operated, the entire Hong Kong film industry will be in the hands of those who make the rules, and they are the emperors of all film companies.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible for Zou Chongyan alone, she must work together with several other major film companies and cinema companies in Hong Kong, and at the same time must obtain the support of the Hong Kong government and the mainland government.

There are now two similar film associations in Hong Kong, one is the Hong Kong Film Practitioners Association, which is established by several major distributors, and the other is the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, which is established by several small distributors. The former controls most of the distribution of Hong Kong films in Taiwan and Nanyang, while the latter has contributed to the establishment of a Hong Kong film classification system.

Because of its interests, the Hong Kong Film Practitioners Association is biased towards Taiwan, and this is a compromise exchange made in order to gain the Taiwan market. As for the so-called Hong Kong Film Industry Association, few people take it seriously, and it is a joke in the eyes of Hong Kong filmmakers.

But in another time and space, after the Hong Kong Film Industry Association threw itself into the arms of the mainland and received the support of the mainland government, it really developed into a semi-official association, which holds the power of registration and certification of Hong Kong films, and is the only Hong Kong film copyright certification body designated by the Chinese government.

In other words, after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, without the nod of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, you won't even be able to get the copyright when you make a movie.

What Zou Chongyan wants to establish is such an official association that can issue certificates to all Hong Kong films.

Of course, if Zou Chongyan wants to get what he wants, then he must divide the cake evenly, and he must also give Kang Jianfei the largest piece.

"This woman's ambition is really not small." After Kang Jianfei went downstairs, he couldn't help but look back. He also thought about forming such an association, but he never found the right time, and now that Zou Chongyan took the initiative to propose it, it was up to her to come forward to toss.

In the future, the new film association must master the cinema chain or a powerful distribution company to participate in it, and it is impossible to open a film company to be qualified to enter the game. In addition to the Oriental Group and Golden Harvest, Yindu Institution must have a part, and as for other companies, it depends on Creation. For a large company that can survive for another two or three years, its boss is qualified to sit down and share the cake, like Huang Baiming, who has just established the Xincheng Cinema Line, and he has to wait for his Xincheng Cinema Line to develop and grow before he is qualified to speak.

Leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, Kang Jianfei asked Liu Fei to go to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses, and then drove to the film and television city.

In the No. 4 administrative building of the film and television city, an entire floor is not used for offices, but as a filming venue for modern dramas. Because of the low rent, many crews from other companies have come here to rent office space for filming.

"Mr. Kang!"

"Hello boss!"

Kang Jianfei held a bouquet of roses in his hand and took the elevator upstairs, and there were people greeting him along the way. As soon as he was gone, the people began to discuss:

"See, Mr. Kang is holding a rose in his hand."

"I don't know whose class I'm going to visit."

"Wang Guxian, she seems to be filming on it."

"Wang Guxian went to shoot the location today, it's definitely not her."

"Let's go, quietly follow and have a look."

“……”

As a pivotal figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Kang Jianfei's every move will ignite the fire of gossip in people's hearts, and many guys have quietly followed to see what is going on.

Kang Jianfei finally stopped outside an office room, and inside he was filming "I Have a Date with a Zombie 2".

The crew did not stop running due to Kang Jianfei's arrival, Ma Xiaoling played by Wan Qiwen was wearing white boots and revealing her white and tender long legs under the short leather skirt......

"Ahh An actor in a long white dress screamed exaggeratedly.

The female ghost was quickly subdued by Ma Xiaoling, and director Wu Jinyuan immediately shouted "click".

Wu Jinyuan looked at Kang Jianfei outside the door, and then said quietly: "Very good, this one has passed, everyone rests for 10 minutes." Ah Liang, can you decorate the room......"

After assigning the work of the crew, Wu Jinyuan immediately ran towards Kang Jianfei and smiled respectfully: "Hello Mr. Kang, are you looking for Miss Wan?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Today is Ah Wen's birthday." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Wan, Mr. Kang, you wait a minute, and call it a day after the last one." Wu Jinyuan hurriedly said. He had only heard of the relationship between Wan Qiwen and Kang Jianfei before, and he didn't really confirm it until this moment, and he was secretly glad that he didn't make Wan Qiwen feel bad.

Kang Jianfei waited for another half an hour before Wu Jinyuan finally announced the end of work. He walked up to Wan Qiwen with a rose and said with a smile: "Wenwen, happy birthday." ”

"Thank you!" Wan Qiwen didn't expect Kang Jianfei to come to visit her to give her roses, so she was so moved that she threw herself into Kang Jianfei's arms and gave him a fragrant kiss.

The guys outside who came up to watch the gossip whispered again:

"I actually came to see Wan Qiwen."

"It's unreasonable, where does the old lady look worse than her? Why didn't Mr. Kang come to soak me? ”

"Other people's legs are longer than yours, you little turnip short legs."

"Cut, the legs are amazing, the old lady will clamp people with short legs."

“……”

Wan Qiwen noticed the way everyone looked at her, blushed and said, "Let's go back first." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said in her ear: "Haiwei has already cooked at home and waited for us, and we will celebrate your birthday in the evening." ”

Wan Qiwen originally wanted to fly through the two-person world with Kang Jian, but when she heard that Zhou Hailin was also coming to celebrate her birthday, she felt a little unhappy. But when I think of Kang Jianfei's arrangement, I am afraid that the three of them will have to spend a ridiculous half a night tonight, and I can't help but feel my heart rippling and my body feverish.

Just when Kang Jianfei was about to leave with Wan Qiwen in his arms, the dragon who played the female ghost in white walked past him and asked Wu Jinyuan, "Director, will I come tomorrow?" ”

Wu Jinyuan said: "If you don't use it, I will let people inform you if there is a play." ”

"Oh." The female ghost dragon answered, and then prepared to line up to receive today's salary. When she walked past Kang Jianfei again, she couldn't help but look at it curiously.

The female ghost dragon set has a thick layer of powder on her face, but her face has been washed clean at this time, and she has not undergone any makeup, but her face is more perfect and delicate than many women who have put on makeup.

Zhu Zhen?

Kang Jianfei instantly recognized this female dragon set. R1152
