The news that Kang Jianfei won 7 awards on his trip to Taipei soon spread back to Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong film industry has always paid little attention to art films, it is no less concerned about winning awards than Taiwanese filmmakers.

A newly opened film company will also attract a lot of attention from its Hong Kong counterparts if its films can win the Golden Horse Awards.

Today's Chinese films want to win awards in Europe and the United States, which is really unrealistic, and there have only been a few people for decades. In addition to the European and American international awards, the Asian Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards are the most golden. After the Asian Film Festival turned into an exhibition xìng competition, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, the main Chinese-language film producing regions, focused all their attention on the Golden Horse Awards.

In the past, Hong Kong films were often nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, but on the basis of five or six nominations, only one won the award in the end, and the proportion of winners was very low.

Like Kang Jianfei, it is the first time in the history of Hong Kong film that Xìng won 6 awards at the Golden Horse Awards.

"Ming Pao Weekly" commented: "Hong Kong films are rising at a rocket speed this year, which is not only reflected in the specific box office data, but also the big harvest of Oriental DreamWorks in the Golden Horse Awards, which also proves this from the side." ”

"Film Fortnightly" expressed some dissatisfaction with the Golden Horse Awards: "In terms of film art, "Knife Horse" is not lower than "The Wrong Car". The results that can be announced are a little disappointing, "Dao Ma Dan" actually only won one Best Costume Design Award, which is obviously deliberately done by the Golden Horse Awards. Especially in the film "Sword and Horse", Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, any of the three heroines are eligible to win the Best Actress trophy, but all three of them were defeated, and the actress award was actually awarded to Zhang Aijia in "My Grandpa......"

Taiwan's media are also very dissatisfied, with most believing that "The Wrong Ride" only won 6 awards out of 11 nominations. The trophies are a bit small. For example, the Best Supporting Actress should be awarded to Jiang Xia in "The Wrong Car", because Jiang Xia's performance in the film is too perfect.

Kang Jianfei couldn't laugh or cry, he received several awards at the awards ceremony, but as a composer, screenwriter and producer, etc.

On the weekend after the end of the Golden Horse Awards, the already recorded "Variety 100" was officially broadcast. Due to the early announcement of China Television, many people switched to stay in front of the TV, ready to watch the TV program that Lin Qingxia participated in recording many years later, and the ratings of China Television jumped to a terrifying 63% that night.

Don't question the number. "Variety 100" is the highest-rated TV program in Taiwan, which is higher than the ratings of TV dramas. In the few years after the broadcast of "Variety 100", China Television defeated all the programs of Taiwan Television and China Television with a "Variety 100", until the introduction of the Hong Kong drama "Dragon Babu", and the ratings of "Variety 100" were surpassed by "Dragon Babu".

The horror viewer of this show. Kang Jianfei and his colleagues only recorded one of the units, and in just over ten minutes, the publicity effect has exceeded the efforts of the hospitalists.

A few days later, "Dao Ma Dan" was officially released in Taiwan, but many theaters were full before the New Year.

In the film, Lin Qingxia's male and female costumes amazed Taiwanese audiences, and Taiwan's "Impact" magazine commented on the film: "Lin Qingxia is very lucky. As a well-known actor whose screen image has been finalized, she met director Kang Jianfei. In the first movie they collaborated on, "Royal Senior Sister", director Kang Jianfei made a big subversion, and played Lin Qingxia, who is accustomed to being a lady and has a strong artistic atmosphere. Became a heroic and sassy super female jǐng cha, and entered the rì beauty market in one fell swoop......

And with this kind of achievement, director Kang Jianfei did not continue to make money by making the sequel to "Royal Sister", but instead found a new way to make a film in the early Republic of China. Lin Qingxia's men's image in the film is definitely a screen classic. Although this movie also has the love of children, it is not as pretentious as most of Taiwan's current love films. The director expressed the love between the five male and female protagonists quite intentionally. On the contrary, friendship is more inked. The atmosphere of children in troubled times, family and country hatred was created very successfully, bringing the audience to another time and space entirely......

According to statistics, Taiwan's total box office has shrunk again this year, and it has been left behind by Hong Kong's total box office data. Two years ago, Hong Kong's total box office was lower than Taiwan's. What does this mean? It shows that we are regressing.

After Bruce Lee's kung fu movies became popular, everyone rushed to make kung fu movies, and as a result, within 4 years, more than 200 shoddy Taiwanese kung fu movies could not be released, and could only rot in the warehouse. After Liu Jiachang made a big hit of music love love films, the directors swarmed to mass-produce inferior love love films, and then asked songwriters to add interludes to it. Qiong Yao's movies are selling well, and everyone specializes in making three-hall movies, and now the audience wants to vomit after watching this kind of movie.

Taiwan's filmmakers should learn more from director Kang Jianfei, and don't make shoddy productions and follow the trend because of short-term interests. Judging from all the films of Oriental DreamWorks, this company is very strategic in making films, after "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" are big hits, no matter how many people in the outside world follow the trend to make movies of the same type, Oriental DreamWorks will shoot sequels seven or eight months apart......"

"Impact" is Taiwan's most famous professional film magazine, and a film review came out, but most of them were talking about Kang Jianfei and Oriental DreamWorks, and by the way, Taiwanese filmmakers were scolded.

This film review caused a lot of repercussions in the Taiwanese film industry, and the end result was that it did not play any role. Those who make commercial films continue to follow the trend of mass production, while those who make art films are becoming more and more niche, without considering the box office market at all.

The Taiwanese film Sina Cháo Movement was slightly later than Hong Kong, and in fact it was inspired by the Hong Kong Sina Cháo Movement.

Some people of insight in the Taiwanese film industry clearly see that Taiwanese films are in decline, while Hong Kong films are rising rapidly. Then these people attributed the rise of Hong Kong cinema to the Hong Kong film Sina Cháo (which is indeed a factor), coupled with the relaxation of the Taiwanese authorities' control over art works, so they also set off the Sina Cháo movement.

At the beginning of the movement, the directors still had to take care of everything. It wasn't until later that those new directors made films completely for the sake of winning awards, and the movies they made were foggy and incomprehensible - after that, Taiwanese films were completely dead.

The film review of "Impact" is a big advertisement for "Dao Ma Dan", attracting many old directors such as Li Xing and Bai Jingrui into the cinema.

With the hot screening of "Sword and Horse", Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, who are not well-known in Taiwan at all, have also become well-known movie stars in Taiwan.

And the "Dream Three Girls" packaged by Oriental DreamWorks have gradually been accepted by more people, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong have been made popular by Lin Qingxia.

The box office response of the film "Knife and Horse" in Taiwan was far better than when it was released in Hong Kong. may be the reason why Lin Qingxia starred, or it may be that Taiwanese audiences are more receptive to artistic movies, anyway, the box office of "Dao Ma Dan" is not less than that of "Royal Senior Sister".

Before 1981 passed, the box office of "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan was close to NT$30 million, and "Night Prime" ("Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing"), which was released at the same time, was very tragic, and the box office did not break the 10 million mark.

Whether it is Mecca, Huang Baiming, or Xu Ke, the director of this movie, they are extremely depressed in the face of this situation.

They came to take advantage of the Golden Horse Award nomination for "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" to take the opportunity to release it in Taiwan to earn box office, but they didn't expect Kang Jianfei to have the same calculation.

Under the collision of the two movie schedules, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" was directly hit by "Dao Ma Dan" and was half-paralyzed.

In the conference room of the new art city, several giants are smoking cigarettes and discussing the company's next play.

Zhang Aijia was so uncomfortable by the smell of smoke that she stood up and pushed the window open, and suddenly a cold air poured in, making everyone collectively shiver.

Huang Baiming asked: "Does anyone know what films Kang Jianfei will be on in the New Year?" ”

Mecca said: "I inquired from Manager Li, the golden princess, that Oriental DreamWorks is going to release an art film "The Story of Hu Yue" recently. In addition, DreamWorks has two other dramas being filmed, one is "City Patrol Horse" and the other is "Little Fear". Among them, "The Story of Hu Yue" and "City Patrol Horse", the heroes and heroines of these two dramas are Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong. ”

Shi Tian immediately reacted: "It seems that Kang Jianfei is ready to support Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong. ”

Huang Baiming said suddenly: "Do you think that our new art city should also be a newcomer?" ”

Since the establishment of New Art City, there have been several bosses who have been actors, screenwriters, directors and producers, and in addition to inviting actors who have become famous to star.

For example, this time "Best Partner" became a big hit, but among the three leading actors, Mecca is a shareholder of the company, Zhang Aijia is an executive of the company, and Xu Guanjie is a well-known zìyóu actor, and the root did not play any role in supporting newcomers.

Xinyicheng has been established for more than a year, and there are not many contracted actors under his hands until now.

Mecca nodded and said: "It's time to sign a few potential actors, but this matter is not urgent now, the most important thing now is to finalize the New Year's play." ”

Huang Baiming said: "That's why I asked Kang Jianfei what kind of drama he will play in the New Year." Let's not collide with his type, "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing" was too badly pressed by "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan, and this is still a situation where the genres are different. ”

Shi Tian said: "What does he shoot? Our strength is to do comedy, as long as we play our comedy well, the box office is already guaranteed. ”

Mecca nodded, "Yes, Shi Tian has a point. In fact, I already have an idea in my heart, who still remembers the "Difficult Brothers" in the 60s? ”

Huang Baiming asked in surprise: "Are you going to remake "Difficult Brothers"? ”
