517 [The Woman Who Can't Get Rid of It]
"In the past 80 years, Chinese films have made brilliant achievements from scratch, from immaturity to maturity. "Dingjun Mountain" to "Burning Red Lotus Temple"; From "A River Flows Eastward" to "Yellow Earth", several generations of filmmakers have written the history of Chinese films......
In the past 80 years, due to the interference of war and politics, Chinese films have also managed many twists and turns. Ten years of civil war and war of resistance against Japan...... The development of Chinese films was stopped for a time, and now it is ushering in the great reform and opening up, and Chinese films are shining again......"
Kang Jianfei, as a special guest from Hong Kong, sat in the first row with the directors of domestic film studios, and the leaders of the Ministry of Chemical Industry were all leaders of the Ministry of Chemistry.
For today's 80th anniversary celebration of Chinese films, the organizers also invited Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, but neither of them coincidentally went north, only Kang Jianfei ran to leak his face.
Zou Wenhuai is taking care of Taiwan's film market, while Shao Yifu is old and doesn't have the energy to toss back and forth. Anyway, Shao Yifu has donated a lot to the mainland this year, and he has already made his position and attitude clear, and it is the same whether he comes to participate in the celebration of this Laosh.
"The best editor of the 5th Golden Rooster Award is Zhou Ding's "Garland Under the Mountain".
"The best recording of the 5th Golden Rooster Award is Feng Deyao and Miao Zhenyu's "Thunderstorm".
"The best music that won the 5th Golden Rooster Award is Xu Youfu's "Life".
ββ¦β¦β
After a celebratory singing and dancing, the Golden Rooster Awards finally began to be awarded.
After the awards were awarded, Kang Jianfei was only responsible for slapping him, and he had nothing to do anyway. Although Hong Kong films also belong to Chinese films, they cannot participate in the competition for the Golden Rooster Awards, and Kang Jianfei is purely here to be a spectator today.
Of course, because he is the only Hong Kong filmmaker who came to the awards ceremony with a face (Yindu Organization does not count), the organizers also arranged for Kang Jianfei to be an award presenter.
Kang Jianfei, the winner of the first few awards, had never heard of it, but soon he heard the host shout a familiar name.
"The best cinematography of the 5th Golden Rooster Award is Zhang Yimou's "Yellow Earth"!"
Zhang Yimou, who is in his 30s, got up from his seat excitedly. bowed a few times to all sides before he walked on the stage and delivered an excited acceptance speech: "Thank you for the Golden Rooster Award, thank you to the leaders, thank you to Director Chen Kaige, thank you to ......"
After thanking him for a lap, Zhang Yimou bowed to the audience again before stepping off the stage crampedly.
At this time, Lao Mou was already in his 30s. But it has only been 3 years since he entered the film industry, and he is a newcomer. Even though he won a photography award abroad with "Yellow Earth", Zhang Yimou still had to nod his head and be humble when he returned to China.
In comparison, Brother Chen Kai of "Yellow Earth" is much more powerful, although he is younger than Zhang Yimou, but his father who can't stand others is a master in the film industry.
The awards that followed were nothing to look forward to. Although the movie "Yellow Earth" shined abroad, it also won a best cinematography, and the subsequent winner Kang Jianfei had never heard of it.
Having said that, although the Golden Rooster Awards at this time are strictly determined, they are quite passable on the whole. After more than ten years, the Golden Rooster Awards will have some double and triple yellow eggs, and sometimes few people have heard of the best films awarded. That's what it's called.
"I invite Mr. Kang Jianfei, an international director and patriotic overseas Chinese from Hong Kong, to announce the winners of the Best Actress and present the awards!"
In a burst of thunderous applause, Kang Jianfei walked onto the stage, he didn't bother to joke and amuse, and directly opened the envelope and announced: "The winner of the best actress is Li Ling's "The Girl from Huangshan". β
Li Ling, who was in her 20s, walked on stage, Kang Jianfei put the Golden Rooster Trophy in her hand, and looked at the Golden Rooster Award actress by the way when shaking hands. The dress is very plain, and the hairstyle looks like it has been specially made. But in Kang Jianfei's eyes, he feels old-fashioned, unlike the future cone-faced actresses, the current aesthetic concept is to be popular square-faced beauties, because it looks more upright.
Kang Jianfei gave up his position on the stage, and the square-faced actress began her acceptance speech, and then they each stepped off the stage and returned to their seats, all of which were in place without any suspense.
When the Best Picture and Best Director awards are over. Brother Chen Kai, who didn't win the first prize, couldn't help but sigh. "Yellow Earth" can win awards abroad, but it can only win one best cinematography in China, it is impossible for Chen Kaige to have no resentment in his heart. But even though his father is an old-timer in the mainland film industry, this award has already been awarded. Then there is no possibility of change.
Not only that, but at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films held last month, Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" also did not win an important award.
In fact, in the final analysis, Chen Kaige is too young, and seniority in the mainland art world is very important, and several important awards will inevitably be awarded to respected directors and their works, and Chen Kaige, who is in his early 30s, can only stare dryly.
"Director Chen, you will definitely do it next time." Liu Xiaoqing opened his mouth to comfort.
This woman is now the No. 1 female movie star in the mainland, so she will naturally be invited by the organizer to attend the awards ceremony, but her level cannot sit in the front row with Kang Jianfei, and she can only get together with Chen Kaige and others.
Brother Chen Kai knows the truth inside, he has to mix for at least three or five years if he wants to win the best director, and at this time he can only smile bitterly: "I hope that "Yellow Earth" can be released in China, and I am already very satisfied." β
It's funny to say that "Yellow Earth", which won the award abroad, almost failed to pass the GuΓ² film censorship in China. "Yellow Earth" was sent for review in July last year, but for the Chinese people at this time, the political and moral scale of the film was too large, and it was discussed repeatedly for several months before it finally barely passed the review.
However, after the release of "Yellow Earth", the film industry has a great debate about this film, and now there are still a group of experts who say that "Yellow Earth" really smears the image of the country, which is one of the reasons why "Yellow Earth" cannot win awards in China.
Brother Chen Kai has risen strongly in the film industry at a young age, and there is a well-connected father behind him, Liu Xiaoqing naturally wants to stammer, she deliberately complimented: "I heard that Director Chen's movie is about to be released in Canada, which is incomparable to other directors." β
"As luck would have it, the Canadian film distributor was in the right place." Chen Kaige said quite proudly that there are few directors who can make movies and show them in North America, let alone the mainland, even Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Zhang Yimou sat next to him and listened to the conversation between the two, and glanced at Liu Xiaoqing meaningfully. I thought: No wonder this woman can mix smoothly, and she can coax Brother Chen Kai, who is in a bad mood, to be happy in a few words.
Brother Chen Kai looked at the Shang/Hai brand watch and said: "Xiaoqing, Mr. Kang came all the way from Hong Kong, how can we do our best to be a landlord, you can ask Mr. Kang out for a meal tomorrow." β
"Okay, Jian Fei also admires Director Chen. He said you are one of the best directors in the country. Liu Xiaoqing readily agreed, and deliberately affectionately called Kang Jianfei by name.
Zhang Yimou really recruited and asked, "Xiaoqing is very familiar with Mr. Kang?" β
Zhang Yimou felt that Liu Xiaoqing was younger than her, so he shouted "Xiaoqing" casually. But this title disgusted Liu Xiaoqing, she is the number one female movie star of the young generation in China, and her name is called casually? Brother Chen Kai can call it like this. After all, Brother Chen Kai is the director, and there is a father of a movie old-timer standing behind him, Zhang Yimou, which onion are you?
However, Liu Xiaoqing would not turn his face in public, but replied with a smile: "It's not very familiar, I am just ordinary friends with Jian Fei in private." β
Zhang Yimou offended Liu Xiaoqing with a word, and he continued: "I just came back from the crew of "Shushan" and heard a lot of Mr. Kang's deeds. There are a lot of questions I want to ask him. β
Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Yimou have a good relationship, and said with a smile: "That's just right to go together."
Liu Xiaoqing did not miss the slightest opportunity to show her closeness to Kang Jianfei, she said: "Yes, just go together, Jianfei likes to communicate with his counterparts in the mainland." β
Brother Chen Kai asked: "By the way, Mou, how was the filming of "Shushan"?" β
Zhang Yimou is one of the photographers of "Shushan", and when he mentioned "Shushan", he said excitedly: "It's amazing." Many of the shooting methods are very different from ours, some of the photography equipment I have never seen, and I have invited a professional special effects team from the United States, and I have to discuss with the director and special effects before each shooting, just to facilitate the post-production. β
Chen Kaige's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it the special effects of "Star Wars"?" β
Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be about the same anyway." β
The two chatted about the filming of "Shushan". Liu Xiaoqing didn't understand what he heard, so he didn't bother to interject anymore, just staring at the singers on stage, wanting the award ceremony to end quickly.
Kang Jianfei is more boring than Liu Xiaoqing. He didn't care who won the award on stage, because he didn't even hear the names of most of those movies. And those singing and dancing performances couldn't arouse Kang Jianfei's interest, and after sitting down for more than two hours, Kang Jianfei had long regretted coming to such a trip.
Seeing that the awards ceremony was officially over, he was dragged to the banquet again, but fortunately, this time the officials from the Ministry of Chemical Industry and the Film Bureau, as well as the directors of several large factories in the mainland and the principals of the film academy, made Kang Jianfei barely cheer up to cope.
"Mr. Kang, come to this cup, thank you for coming to the Golden Rooster Award ceremony in person!"
"Comrade Xiaokang, your movie is very good, make persistent efforts in the future, drink!"
"Well-off massive, have another cup!"
ββ¦β¦β
In 1985, the economy of the mainland developed rapidly, and at the same time, officials became more and more extravagant, for example, this dinner was much higher than the last time.
Of course, those officials are not afraid of investigation, and even if they do, there is still a pretext for receiving patriotic overseas Chinese.
At the wine table, the two vice principals of Xi and Nortel had to invite Kang Jianfei to their school to give a speech under the pretext of drinking. As soon as Kang Jianfei shirked them, he called his brother and said that it was not righteous, and finally had to reluctantly agree.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when the banquet ended, and when these guys left one by one, Kang Jianfei came out of the bathroom to wash his face.
"Jian Fei, it turns out that you are still there," Liu Xiaoqing suddenly appeared in the aisle and said with a smile, "I didn't see you just now, and I thought you had gone down." β
"Why haven't you left yet?" A few days after Kang Jianfei slept with Liu Xiaoqing last time, he wrote a check to her, preparing the goods and goods to clear each other, but he didn't expect this woman to stick up again.
Liu Xiaoqing walked over and held Kang Jianfei's arm affectionately, and said in a coquettish tone: "Of course I'm waiting for you, after returning to Hong Kong last time, you didn't even call back, and no one answered when I called you." β
Someone picked up the ghost, Kang Jianfei wrote the number casually to her, but she didn't expect Liu Xiaoqing to take it seriously.
Kang Jianfei didn't want to entangle with this woman, he pushed Liu Xiaoqing's hand away and said, "Miss Liu, this is a restaurant, it's not good to be seen." β
With such an obvious rejection of people thousands of miles away, Liu Xiaoqing seemed to have no feeling at all, and once again affectionately hugged Kang Jianfei's arm and said, "No one is afraid, what are you afraid of?" β
Kang Jianfei was speechless at this woman, he couldn't just kick it away, he could only let her follow.
Going out of the hotel and getting in the car, Kang Jianfei had just opened the car door, and Liu Xiaoqing had already gotten in from the other side, which made Kang Jianfei cry and laugh.
This Hongqi car belonged to the Film Bureau, and a driver was originally arranged, but at this time, Zhang Degong was in charge of driving.
"Boss, are you going back to the hotel?" Zhang Degong subconsciously asked in Cantonese.
Kang Jianfei looked at Liu Xiaoqing, who was leaning on him, and said helplessly: "Go back." β
Liu Xiaoqing heard Zhang Degong speak Cantonese, knew that the driver was Kang Jianfei's person, and thought he was from Hong Kong, so he immediately became more active and unscrupulous.
Kang Jianfei didn't have the heart to entangle with Liu Xiaoqing, but he didn't drive far before he felt a small hand probe his crotch, and such an explicit teasing quickly made Kang Jianfei react.
Zhang Degong recognized Liu Xiaoqing at a glance, Zhang Degong was still a soldier when Liu Xiaoqing debuted, and it was the movie "Little Flower" that the army organized to watch, and many soldiers worshipped Liu Xiaoqing as a goddess.
Zhang Degong is no exception, he once fascinated Liu Xiaoqing for a while, and when he was driving, he still wanted to ask Liu Xiaoqing for an autograph later. Halfway through the drive, he couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror of the car, but only a glance made Zhang Degong classic, and he almost hit the roadside fence with a shake of his hand.
I saw Liu Xiaoqing lying on his stomach in the back seat, his head lying together between Kang Jianfei's waist and legs, and finally Kang Jianfei held his head down violently and couldn't move.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Liu Xiaoqing coughed with wheezing for a while, and then swallowed it all under Kang Jianfei's order, and then continued to bury his head in cleaning up the filth.
Zhang Degong, who was driving, was in a particularly complicated mood, his idol in his youth collapsed in front of him, and his heart was full of contempt for Liu Xiaoqing.
Liu Xiaoqing wiped his face clean in the makeup mirror, and then said next to Kang Jianfei's shoulder: "Jianfei, Director Chen Kaige wants to invite you to a meal tomorrow." β
Kang Jianfei, who had just finished refreshing, closed his eyes comfortably and said, "I don't have time tomorrow, I have to go to school to give a speech." βRI
