"Wudang: Taiji Zhang Sanfeng" was originally going to be completed at the end of February, but because there were no good films to schedule in March, Golden Princess Cinemas simply continued to extend the release time of "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng". It's all there

March 6, 1982, stunned.

"Wudang's Taiji Zhang Sanfeng" was officially completed, with a total box office of 23.18 million in Hong Kong, becoming the biggest winner of the New Year in 1982.

I have to say that Hong Kong audiences prefer to watch comedies. "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", a new classic movie released ten years in advance, plus the east wind of "Shaolin Temple", and Kang Jianfei's box office appeal is there, and the box office is still no match for "Best Partner" of Xinyicheng half a year ago.

Before the movie was released, Kang Jianfei's estimate of the box office was more than 25 million, but unfortunately it was still more than one million.

As the only film in this year's Chūn Festival with a box office of more than 20 million, after the final box office was announced, the media's focus was still on the ban on Kang Jianfei in Taiwan.

It was only speculation before, but the Hong Kong media has been confirmed by Taiwan in recent days. Originally, some film companies saw that "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was selling well, and wanted to invite Hui Yinghong, Wu Mengda and others to make a film, but now they have also begun to pass the buck to Lai, and those who signed the film contract can only sigh that they are unlucky.

Three days after the painting of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held as scheduled. is the same as Kang Jianfei's situation, there are many insiders who didn't want to participate, but they had to attend because of favors.

2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Arts Centre.

Kang Jianfei took Lin Qingxia's hand and got out of the car and looked at the bare road in front of the art center building. I can't help but laugh. This Academy Awards is also too shabby, not even the red carpet, and the savings are a bit excessive.

Enter the building, take the elevator up, and follow the signs to the Shouson Theatre. After entering, Kang Jianfei found that the reporters were in the theater, no wonder there were few people in front of the art center building.

There were a lot of reporters, about twenty or thirty media, and Kang Jianfei was besieged as soon as he appeared. The content of these people's interviews is not surprisingly the fact that he was banned from Taiwan.

Kang Jianfei kept his mouth shut, took Lin Qingxia's hand and squeezed straight forward. After walking to the front row, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that Shao Yifu was also here, and "Film Fortnightly" seems to have a wide range of contacts.

In addition to Shao Yifu, a film tycoon, Chung Yijie, an official of the Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration, Zhang Youxin, chairman of the Urban Council, and others also attended, and they were also guests of honor. From this point of view, it is possible that the Hong Kong Film Awards held by "Film Fortnightly" have already received the support of certain departments.

There are more and more people in the Shouson Theater. There are actors, directors, screenwriters, and so on. There are also some film critics and general movie fans.

Zhou Yanfa loosened his tie to breathe. After looking around for a week, he said to Chen Yulian beside him: "Sister Lian, am I dressed too formally today?" ”

Chen Yulian smiled: "How can you think that you are dressed too formally?" That's how the awards ceremony should have been dressed. ”

Zhou Yanfa pointed around and said, "It seems that I am the only one in the actor who wears a suit." ”

Chen Yulian raised her eyes and looked at it, except for Shao Yifu and other film company bosses. Sure enough, Zhou Yanfa was wearing formal clothes alone. Like Xu Ke, he came with messy hair. With a casual coat on his body, he looks like a dock porter.

Several bosses of the new art city came, and Hong Jinbao soon entered, but Cheng Long didn't come, because he didn't have his share in today's awards.

The officiating emcees of the award ceremony were Ng Ka-lian, a veteran host of Radio Television Hong Kong, and Zhan Xiaoping, a veteran host of TVB's song program.

After the two hosts came on the stage, Wu Jialian glanced down and said to Zhan Xiaoping beside him: "Ah Ping, there are a lot of powerful people at today's award ceremony. ”

Zhan Xiaoping asked cooperatively, "Really?" What big shots are coming. ”

Ng Ka-lian said: "Are Mr. Chung of the Chief Secretary for Administration and Chairman Zhang of the Urban Council considered big figures? ”

Zhan Xiaoping nodded and said, "Yes, yes, they are all big shots, if Chairman Zhang is unhappy, I won't have to do it with a word." ”

There was a burst of chuckle from the audience, and Zhang Youxin, who was teased by the two hosts, also laughed.

Wu Jialian pointed in the direction of Shao Yifu's seat and said, "Chairman Zhang is not very good, there is a cough over there, and you don't have to get this month's salary." ”

The two introduced several bigwigs respectively, but Kang Jianfei, Hong Jinbao, Mecca and others did not mention them, as if they were not enough bosses of the "new" company.

Kang Jianfei's face was not unhappy, but Chen Bosen, who was sitting in the audience, felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Shu Qi beside him: "Could these two people be deliberate?" ”

Shu Qi is in his twenties, like Kang Jianfei, he is a native of Bao'an, originally worked as a screenwriter on Jiayi TV, and after Jiashi went bankrupt, he joined Jiahe as a director and assistant director, and later founded "Film Fortnightly" with Chen Bosen and others and served as the editor-in-chief.

Because Shu Qi was a screenwriter and assistant director at Golden Harvest, and later directed his own films, and also planned programs for the Hong Kong International Film Festival, many times he couldn't be busy at all. So after being the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly" for a few months, Shu Qi gave up the position of editor-in-chief to Chen Bosen.

Now that Shu Qi has resigned from Golden Harvest and concentrated on the development of "Film Fortnightly", Chen Bosen has returned the position of editor-in-chief. The real planner of the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Awards this time is Shu Qi, and the officials of the Chief Secretary for Administration and the City Council are also invited by Shu Qi's face.

Judging from the development speed of Oriental DreamWorks today and the ranking of Hong Kong movies at the box office in the past two years, although Kang Jianfei has much less net worth, his status in the film industry is enough to be compared with Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. The two hosts only said Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, but they didn't say a word about Kang Jianfei, which was obviously inappropriate.

Shu Qi said helplessly: "Maybe they just made an unintentional mistake, after the award ceremony, he invited Mr. Kang to have a meal, he shouldn't care about it." ”

On stage, Wu Jialian continued: "Today we are going to present the Hong Kong Film Awards, Ah Ping, do you know how many years of history Hong Kong films have? ”

Zhan Xiaoping was surprised: "You asked." I really don't know. ”

Wu Jialian said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know what to do, but Mr. Sin Qiran has made a brief history of Hong Kong films, please watch the big screen!" ”

The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and the beam of the projector was cast on the big screen. The two hosts have long since left. A black-and-white still from a movie appeared on the screen, and the voiceover rang out: "In 1909, on. Hai 'Asia Film Company' owner Bin Jie Men? Brasky filmed the silent film comedy "Roast Duck" in Hong Kong. The main creators of the film are all from the Hong Kong theater industry, and the director is Leung Shaopo. The actors include Leung Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Li Beihai, etc., and the history of Hong Kong films has begun......"

This is followed by a black-and-white photograph of the street, with the voiceover explaining: "In 1911, Hong Kong's first luxury cinema, the Victoria Cinema, was completed in Des Voeux Road Central......"

When another black-and-white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Shao Yifu couldn't help but sit up straight.

In 1913, the first feature film produced in Hong Kong, "Zhuangzi Tries a Wife", was screened. The choreographer is Lai Man-wai, the photographer is Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors are Lai Man-wai and Yan Shanshan. The film marked the end of the enlightenment period of Hong Kong cinema. The beginning of the budding period. A new page in the history of Hong Kong cinema has been opened. 1913 year. This year is the first year of Hong Kong cinema in the true sense, and the photo you see on the screen is the father of Hong Kong cinema, Mr. Lai Man-wai......"

Kang Jianfei didn't know much about Li Minwei. is more interested in Li Minwei's granddaughter Li Zi.

Watching the scenes on the big screen, Kang Jianfei couldn't help but think in his heart: In another thirty or fifty years. What is your place in the history of Hong Kong cinema?

Perhaps for fear of causing controversy and disputes, this film with a brief history of Hong Kong cinema did not continue to be produced after the death of Bruce Lee. The film focuses a lot on the competition for hegemony in the 50s and the history of the struggle of the Shaw Brothers in the 60s, but Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai defected from the Shaw Brothers one after another, but it is only a passing mention. To put it bluntly, director Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers to go to Taiwan to found Guolian Pictures, and Mr. Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers to found Golden Harvest in a certain year and month.

As for Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Mecca, Kang Jianfei and others, they are not even mentioned in this film.

Even so, the Hong Kong filmmakers at the scene also responded with a round of warm applause, after all, the seniors in the film just now are all industry seniors.

After a round of applause, the two presenters returned to the stage. Ng said: "The next is this year's Top Ten Chinese Film Awards. ”

Zhan Xiaoping said excitedly: "The top ten Chinese films that won the first Hong Kong Film Awards are ...... "Father and Son Love"! ”

The director of "Father and Son Love" is Fang Yuping, but the director did not show up today, and it was the CEO of Phoenix Pictures who went up to accept the award on his behalf. The boss is over sixty years old, and today he deliberately wore a Mao suit, which seemed to show his demeanor as a leftist filmmaker, walked up to the stage to receive the award certificate from Miss Etiquette, and said a short acceptance speech into the microphone: "Xie Lu Xie, thank the organizing committee for the affirmation and recognition of "Father and Son", Phoenix Pictures will make more good movies to serve the people in the future." ”

Kang Jianfei sat down and muttered: "No, there is not even an award guest, not even a trophy, just give an award certificate and it's over?" ”

Wu Jialian continued to read the list of winners: ""Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars"! ”

There were no nominations for the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and no one knew in advance who would win the award. Xu Ke was stunned for a moment and ran up, looked at the award certificate and said: "I didn't expect someone to be brave enough to hold a film award, I admire his courage, and I hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards will get better and better." ”

After the awards, Xu Ke did not go down, but retreated to the back and stood in a row with the CEO of Phoenix Pictures, and the top ten Chinese film winners will take a group photo later.

Zhan Xiaoping continued: "The Story of Hu Yue! ”

Xu Anhua, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked up without being shocked, and said lightly: "Thank you Mr. Kang for investing in me, otherwise this movie will be difficult to deliver." ”
