The Golden Globe Awards for American film and television have just come to an end, and the Oscars will soon be announced. At this time, the Golden Globes and Oscars were next to each other, and they were held a little later than more than 20 years later.

This year's Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, Kang Jianfei didn't bother to send films to participate. However, 20th Century Fox, as the agent distributor, in order to increase the global fame of "Home Alone", took the initiative to help Kang Jianfei deliver the film and pay a small amount of lobbying money.

20th Century Fox's efforts were not in vain, and Home Alone was nominated for Best Score and Best Song at the Golden Globes, as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Score.

To be honest, Kang Jianfei doesn't remember the original soundtrack of the Qing Dynasty anymore, but on the basis of the general melody, he asked Lu Guanting to help complete the details. Compared with the original soundtrack, which version is better, Kang Jianfei himself can't say.

Because the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held during the Chūn Festival, Kang Jianfei had no intention of leaving for the United States at all, and only asked Tang Shuxuan, who was still in the United States, to attend the award ceremony on his behalf.

Sure enough, the two nominations for the Golden Globe Awards were all aborted, and Kang Jianfei didn't win any awards.

But even so, for Hong Kong directors, being nominated for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes is enough to be a good talk for a while. After the news came back to Hong Kong, it also promoted the box office of "Home Alone" to a certain extent.

Leaving aside the film awards in the United States, the nominations for the second Hong Kong Film Awards will also be announced after the New Year, and the selection will be made from the films released in Hong Kong from January to December last year, and the staff of the six projects must be Hong Kong to be eligible.

This time, the Hong Kong Film Awards has changed a lot from the first one last year, and it is no longer a small fight for "Film Fortnightly" to entertain itself. In the absence of a film professional group, Shu Qi followed the American Golden Globe Awards and assembled a large jury of 258 journalists/film critics. In order to be as impartial as possible, the jury members included not only Hong Kong nationals, but also Singaporeans, Taiwanese, Malaysia and South Korea.

Not only that, the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards also invited Rìmoto director Nagisa Oshima, Taiwanese director Li Xing and Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang as special guests. Xu Xiaofeng, Teresa Teng, and Anita Mui were invited as guest performers, and the host was directly the original team of "Happy 60 Minutes" Ma Zheng Zeshi, Zhang Marie, Zhou Xingchi and Mao Xianyun, and Pan Yuesheng, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", was also invited as the vice chairman of the jury, responsible for supervising the fairness of the selection process.

There is also a big breakthrough in the awards of the Academy Awards, which have been increased to 14 awards on the basis of the original Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Music, Best Original Song, Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects and Best Action Design.

The trophy has also been redesigned, according to the proportions of the figure of the Phoenix Terrace master Hua Dan Zheng Wenya, to create a goddess statue holding a pearl and wrapped in a film.

The Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to be held on March 15 at the Taiping Theater and will be broadcast on Phoenix TV that night. Also involved were Radio Television Hong Kong and Oriental Rì Daily, which assisted Phoenix TV in organizing the award ceremony.

Before the Chūn Festival passed, the major media in Hong Kong began to promote the Academy Awards, and Kang Jianfei spent 5 million yuan in one go to set up funds for this year's Academy Awards. It is almost impossible to recover the 5 million, because the influence of today's Academy Awards is too small, and Phoenix TV, as the organizer, can only get a little advertising money.

…………

Before the Academy Awards ceremony was held, Kang Jianfei received an unexpected and laughable news.

On the night of the 83rd year of the Zhōngyāng station in the mainland, Kang Jianfei asked Deng Yimin to pick two young singers who could sing well and could speak Mandarin to participate, and he also wrote four songs for them himself. In order to avoid suspicion, the lyrics and composers of these four New Year's songs, Kang Jianfei, are all signed by the pen name "Long Aotian".

The two little singers are named Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei, the average age of a boy and a girl is 26, this age and appearance are also very ordinary, it is basically impossible to become popular in Hong Kong.

As a result, Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei went to chūn to sing in the evening, and they became popular all over China overnight, and the four songs of "Good Luck Coming", "Happy New Year", "Great China" and "Happy Meeting" became the divine comedy sung by everyone in the north and south of the country.

Kang Jianfei originally wanted Deng Yimin to go north and cooperate with the China Record Society (later China Record Corporation), which was established in the mainland at the end of last year, to make a "Happy New Year" album.

Who knew that Deng Yimin had just taken a plane to Beijing, only to find that these four songs and other songs of the evening had been recorded into albums and spread all over the streets and alleys, and the publishing unit of this record was the China Record Society.

Deng Yimin had no choice but to go to the China Record Society, but the China Record Society said that they had obtained the rights from the Chūn evening program group of the zhōngyāng station. And when Deng Yimin went to find the chūn evening program team again, this temporary organization had already been disbanded, and no one was willing to come out to take charge.

Deng Yimin was depressed, and he lashed out at the comrades accompanying him from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, and the people from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office could only report the situation to their superiors.

After all, Deng Yimin belongs to Hong Kong compatriots, and the behavior of the China Record Society was quickly criticized by his superiors, and then the matter was "satisfactorily resolved".

……

"You said that the China Record Society gave you 500 yuan in copyright fees?" Kang Jianfei looked at Deng Yimin speechlessly as if he had heard a tale of the Arabian Nights.

"500 yuan is a lot, because I am a compatriot in Hong Kong, and I heard that mainland music creators can write a song for 20 or 30 yuan." Deng Yimin smiled bitterly and said that he only stayed in Beijing/Beijing for a few days before coming back, and he would feel like a fool if he stayed there any longer.

Kang Jianfei laughed angrily, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and this kind of thing could only be a loss for dumbness. If he really spares no effort to make trouble with the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, maybe some leaders of zhōngyāng will severely criticize the piracy of China Record Society because of the special period of Sino-British negotiations, and then make up for Kang Jianfei's losses.

But because a few songs are stiff with the Chinese record society, this kind of behavior outweighs the losses, and the connections involved in it are too complicated.

Deng Yimin threw out a pamphlet and said: "This is the "Interim Provisions on the Administration of Audio and Video Recordings" promulgated by the mainland just over a month ago, and Article 6 of it is about protecting the copyright of creators. ”

Kang Jianfei opened the pamphlet and read it with great interest, and the content of Article 6 is: Audio-visual product publishing units should protect the reasonable rights and interests of authors and performers. The standards and methods for remuneration for audio-visual products of theatrical programs shall be jointly formulated by the Ministry of Radio and Television in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture...... Audiovisual publishers enjoy the right to publish the recorded audiovisual materials in accordance with the agreements with authors and performers. Without the authorization of the original audio-visual product publishing unit, no other unit may rip or reproduce it, or abridge, alter it, and publish it separately without authorization. For programs that have been authorized by authors and performers to a certain audio-visual product publishing unit, other audio-visual product publishing units must not use increased honorariums, duplicate honorariums, or other improper means to separately record and publish them. In case of violation, the original audio-visual product publishing unit may file a complaint with the judicial organs.

"Hehe, the regulations are quite detailed, but unfortunately it's a piece of waste paper at all." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. Now that the record companies in the mainland are all state-run, even if they infringe on the copyright of the creator, who will dare to sue? Once the lawsuit is filed, it belongs to the civil prosecutor, and it is estimated that the court will not accept it at all.

Deng Yimin sat down and took a sip of water and said, "Boss, I inquired with the officials of the Ministry of Culture, and the possibility of opening a record company with the mainland is zero. Records are a special commodity, and now the mainland has not opened up this aspect at all, so it can only choose to cooperate with state-owned record companies in the mainland to produce and distribute records. ”

Kang Jianfei nodded, he asked Deng Yimin to go north this time, just to test the water and explore the wind. The management of cultural products in the mainland is very strict, and Kang Jian flew to zhōngyāng Taiwan to sell "Daxia Huo Yuanjia" and took advantage of the loophole, just before the relevant regulations were introduced.

Now, if Kang Jianfei wants to sell TV dramas to zhōngyāng channel, he still needs to report to the Ministry of Radio and Television for approval, and then let the General Administration of Customs issue a notice.

And if Kang Jianfei wants to release records in the mainland, he must cooperate with audio-visual publishers in the mainland. If the cooperative unit is a Chinese record society, it must also be approved by the competent unit of the ministry and commission, and then issued a notice by the Ministry of Radio and Television and the General Administration of Customs.

Anyway, in recent years, the film and music market in the mainland has been difficult to do, and Kang Jianfei doesn't want to bother to work hard.

"That's it, do the favor to the end." Although Kang Jianfei doesn't want to deliberately open up the mainland music market, it is not bad to have a good relationship with his counterparts in the mainland, "Didn't Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei sing red at Chūn at night?" Anyway, they don't have much future in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so you can lend them to the China Record Society. ”

Deng Yimin doesn't care, he doesn't really have much hope for the mainland market, and he doesn't believe that the poor mainland people will have much spending power.

Kang Jianfei left Fengxing Records and drove to Villa No. 4 in Repulse Bay. Hu Juncai and Ye Zishan were about to take a plane back to the mainland, and Kang Jianfei was here to see them off.

The two took the plane at three o'clock in the afternoon, and when Kang Jianfei came to the villa, Hu Juncai and Ye Zishan were packing up their things just after eating, and there were a few large bags of various souvenirs and gifts.

When Kang Jianfei saw Ye Zishan, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Zishan, does anyone in your family work in a record company?" ”

Ye Zishan nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin originally belonged to the song and dance troupe, and after getting married, she entered the Guangzhou/Zhou Record Factory." ”

"Do you remember your cousin's phone number?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Ye Zishan didn't ask Kang Jianfei what he wanted to do, so he took a pen and wrote a phone call.

Kang Jianfei immediately dialed Deng Yimin's phone and said: "Zhang Xiang and Teng Yuwei don't lend it to China Record Society, I have a phone here, which is the contact information of Miss Ye of Guangzhou/Zhou Record Factory, you can talk to Miss Ye about cooperation." ”

Kang Jianfei didn't know that Lu Dao would become a branch of China Record Society in July this year, he only knew that Lu Dao could cooperate with Guang Zhou Record Factory, and he would never be afraid of anyone with the relationship of the Ye family.
