Seeing Kang Jianfei walking into the tea restaurant, Shu Qi immediately stood up to greet him, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Kang." ”

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Shu Qi, and only after sitting down did he smile: "Mr. Shu has been waiting for a long time, right?" I had something to do and delayed for a while. ”

Shu Qi didn't answer directly, but said: "Sitting here and watching the sea view and drinking afternoon tea is also quite leisurely." ”

For Shu Qi, Kang Jianfei has always only heard his name and not seen him in his previous life. Because when Kang Jianfei entered the film and television industry, Shu Qi was already in a semi-retired state, and Kang Jianfei had seen some movie monographs he wrote, but he had never seen his real person.

There are two Shu Qi in the Hong Kong film industry in later generations, and most people can't tell the difference between these two Shu Qi stupidity. One of them is a distributor and film critic, and the other is a famous female movie star.

Speaking of which, the female Shuqi is very related to the name of the male Shuqi, the female Shuqi was originally surnamed Lin, and when she debuted, Taiwanese literary films were flooded, so she changed her stage name to "Shuqi", and later her Taiwanese agent changed her name to "Shuqi" (next to Wang). A few years later, Wang Jing and Wen Jun brought the female Shuqi to Hong Kong, Wen Jun and the male Shuqi were good friends, so naturally they would not let the two have the same name, so the female Shuqi's name was changed to Sandianshui, which has been used ever since.

Kang Jianfei and Shu Qi didn't have anything to talk about, and said casually: "Last night's award ceremony was a good one. ”

"Mr. Kang smiled, if the funds were sufficient, I would definitely be willing to do it more successfully." Shu Qi smiled bitterly, "There are many places in the award ceremony, and I, the organizer, have not thought it through. If there is anything offended by the two hosts, I hope Mr. Kang will not be surprised. ”

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "Mr. Shu is serious, and he can't be offended. It's the way you present the award that offends people more than the host says those few words. ”

"Yes," Shu Qi understood what Kang Jianfei meant. Nodding his head, he said, "For next year's awards, I plan to nominate first and then announce the winners." ”

Why do you say that this year's Hong Kong Film Awards offended people?

Because Shu Qi invited many directors, actors, screenwriters and other filmmakers, no one knew in advance whether he was a guest or a winner, and they all had expectations for the award. As a result, only five people actually won the trophy, and I don't know how many people were disappointed.

And the award is also quite controversial, if the award is judged by the film art and ideological connotation, why did Xu Guanwen win the best actor for a commercial comedy? is also a commercial comedy, and "Best Partner" has a higher box office. Why can't Mecca win this award?

If it is discussed in terms of business, what is the situation of the biggest winner of the Academy Awards, "Father and Son"? And "The Story of Hu Yue" is also a literary film, and it also reflects the grim reality that Hong Kong has become a "refugee camp".

In the final analysis, the award of the Academy Awards is in the eyes of insiders. It's just a child's play. Who wins and who doesn't depends entirely on the preferences of the editors of Cinema Fortnightly.

Not only Kang Jianfei was unhappy, but Mecca and Hong Jinbao were also uncomfortable, and Mecca's face was heavy when she left last night. People happily came to the awards ceremony, but in the end, they only got an award certificate, not even a trophy, but the award was awarded to a film of the same type. What is this like?

Kang Jianfei was not polite to Shu Qi, and asked directly: "Mr. Shu thinks the Academy Awards will be held next year?" ”

"Uh......" Shu Qi didn't expect Kang Jianfei to speak so directly, and said stubbornly, "No matter how difficult it is." I'll stick with it. ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "With all due respect, I haven't heard of any film competition in the world where the editor of a magazine selects the winners. To put it mildly, your credibility and qualifications are not enough to award this award. This is not changed. The Academy Awards can always be just self-entertainment and petty fights, and no one will take it seriously. To put it a little more hurtfully. Is there a strict selection rule for this year's Academy Awards? I'm afraid that a few of you screenwriters got together and decided with a pat on the head based on your preferences. ”

As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter, Kang Jianfei's words are ugly, but they point to the key point of the Hong Kong Film Awards, making Shu Qi wonder whether to be grateful or angry.

Shu Qi sighed: "If you don't let "Film Fortnightly" choose, then who should be judged, there are no other professional organizations in Hong Kong at all." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Not now, it doesn't mean that there has never been." Like the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild, the Hong Kong Cinematographers Guild, the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild, etc., you can contact and initiate. When the time comes, Film Fortnight and the various associations will select their own jurors, and then these jurors will form a jury, and then the credibility of the award will be much greater. ”

Shu Qi stretched out his hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Kang thinks I have the ability to initiate the establishment of so many associations?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Mr. Shu, you can hold the Academy Awards under the difficult financial situation, and you have invited all the chairmen of the municipal council to be guests, I believe in your tandem ability very much." For example, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, you can go to popular actors like Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanwen, or you can find qualified and prestigious actors such as Kwan Tak Hing and Dillon, and after getting their support, the following things will be easy to do. ”

Kang Jianfei's suggestion made Shu Qi's thinking suddenly clear, but at the same time, it gave rise to greater doubts. He came today to appease Kang Jianfei's grievances, why did Kang Jianfei actually help him come up with an idea now?

Nothing to be courteous, if you are not jiān, you are a thief!

Shu Qi said tentatively: "Mr. Kang seems to be very interested in this kind of thing. ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in forming an association, I just want to sponsor next year's Academy Awards, so of course I hope it can do better." ”

As soon as Kang Jianfei said this, Shu Qi immediately refused: "I'm sorry, I have to keep the dúlìxìng of the Academy Awards and do not accept the sponsorship of any film company." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "Who said that I sponsored in the name of DreamWorks?" ”

Shu Qi shook his head and said, "Mr. Kang, you can't sponsor it personally, you are the boss of the film company." ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "I can't sponsor it in the name of Lishi?" ”

"Lishi?" Shu Qi felt a little inexplicable, and didn't understand why Kang Jianfei would sponsor it in the name of Lishi.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I am the fourth largest shareholder of Li's TV station. ”

Shu Qi looked at Kang Jianfei with wide eyes, and the shock in his heart could not be described in words. Being a TV station is not a film company, you can register one for a few thousand yuan, Kang Jianfei quietly became the fourth largest shareholder of the TV station, and this kind of thing was not even reported by the media.

Kang Jianfei promised: "I will not judge the selection of the Academy Awards, but I hope that after the sponsorship, Lishi can get the broadcast rights of the Academy Awards ceremony for the next ten years." ”

Shu Qi was silent, and his mind was quickly calculating the gains and losses of this matter.

With the owner of Li's TV station, the Academy Awards will definitely get better and better in the future, and there is no need to worry about raising funds. But once he accepted Lishi's money, if Kang Jianfei wanted to interfere in the selection of the Academy Awards one day, it would be against his original intention of founding the Academy Awards.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shu Qi finally couldn't resist the temptation of funds, and asked out loud: "Can Mr. Kang really promise not to interfere in the Academy Awards?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "I may make my own suggestions on the location and method of the award ceremony, as well as the awards of the Academy Awards, but I can promise that I will not interfere with which film to choose." ”

Shu Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Then it's decided, next year's Academy Awards ceremony will be handed over to Lishi." ”

Kang Jianfei added: "This year's awards are too few, and I hope to add Best Supporting Actor and Actress and Best Cinematography, Best Music and so on next year." ”

Shu Qi said helplessly: "Actually, I want to set up these awards this year, but you know that "Film Fortnightly" is understaffed, and it is already very difficult to judge five awards. ”

Kang Jianfei suggested: "If you can't set up a professional film group next year, Film Fortnight can contact some film critics and media people to form a professional jury, which is much better than doing it yourself." ”

Shu Qi nodded and said, "That's the only way, thank you Mr. Kang for your guidance." ”

Kang Jianfei waved his hand and smiled: "Pointing is not counted, many foreign film competitions are done like this, and I am just picking up people's teeth." ”

After reaching a preliminary intention, the two began to chat about the holding of next year's Academy Awards. Kang Jianfei's suggestion is to institutionalize all aspects of the Academy Awards as soon as possible, and then expand its influence, such as inviting a famous foreign director or movie star to be a judge and award guest.

Shu Qi is a real talent, and he is even two years younger than Zhao Yazhi. At this age, he can be a director and win international awards, and he can also prepare for the Hong Kong Film Awards, no matter how he says it, he is a legend.

In fact, Shu Qi's strongest ability lies in doing propaganda and tandem work. In the parallel space, Shu Qi later became the publicity manager of Debao Company, and then established his own film distribution company, and Shu Qi was responsible for organizing and planning the distribution of films such as "Hang the Red Lantern High" and "Farewell My Concubine" in Hong Kong, Europe and the United States.

If it weren't for Shu Qi's current responsibility for the development of "Film Fortnightly" and the Film Awards, and Li Yicheng, the publicity manager of Oriental DreamWorks, would have done a good job, Kang Jianfei would have wanted to recruit him.

The two chatted until five o'clock, and the guests in the tea restaurant had already left, and Shu Qicai said unsatisfactorily: "Mr. Kang, a conversation with you is better than ten years of study." What you said today has inspired me a lot, and I will try my best to do a good job in the Academy Awards. ”

"Hehe, I'm just talking about it." Kang Jianfei smiled, shook hands with Shu Qi and left.
