348 [Opening of the Academy Awards]

The strange surge in Hong Kong film production at the beginning of this year obviously has the flavor of false prosperity, that is, the Hong Kong film market is not strong enough, but the number of Hong Kong films has been stimulated too much by several theaters. If this development continues, a large number of film companies will inevitably go bankrupt in the competition, which will inevitably cause the overall quality of Hong Kong films to decline, until a certain theater chain loses money and goes bankrupt.

This is the inevitable process of self-regulation of the film market!

Kang Jianfei doesn't want to do a superman to save Hong Kong movies, and he doesn't have the ability to save them, it's a big deal that Hong Kong films collapse and go to Hollywood. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know English, wasn't used to the European and American lifestyles, and didn't like Caucasian women, Kang Jianfei would have gone to the United States to make money.

What Kang Jianfei wants now is to increase the production of Oriental DreamWorks and set this year's shooting plan at about 12. The annual output of 15 movies is almost capped, and if there are more, the theater chain will not be able to line up at all, Kang Jianfei doesn't want his company's movies to be released for only a few days.

Now Yu Rentai is already filming a "Ghost Chasing Seven Heroes", starring Chen You, Zheng Zeshi, Lou Blu-ray, Xu Guanying, and Li Saifeng. And Mai Donaljie is also directing "Into Love Street", starring Hui Tianci, Chen Huimin, Li Yanshan and others.

In addition, "Seven Feelings of Table Error" is also in preparation, and the director is Zhang Jianting, who won the Best Screenplay Award at the Academy Awards last year.

Zhang Jianting used to be a screenwriter, but this time he saved up enough energy to be his own director, so he joined Oriental DreamWorks under the recommendation of Xu Anhua.

Of course, Zeng Zhiwei was not at ease to let a screenwriter be the director, but the script of "Seven Wrong Loves" was good, so he decided to accept the script and change the director. But Zhang Jianting has to direct it himself this time, otherwise he would rather take back the script than sell it.

In desperation, Zeng Zhiwei had no choice but to hand the script of "Seven Wrong Feelings" to Tang Shuxuan.

Although Tang Shuxuan has made movies on the street many times, her vision is very accurate, who is not popular with Zhang Shuping, Wong Kar-wai and others who followed her earlier?

After asking Zhang Jianting to test his basic directing skills, Tang Shuxuan immediately made a decision to let Zhang Jianting be the director of this play, and the actors were selected by him.

This is where Tang Shuxuan is more clever than Pan Yingzi, when the two women are in the same position, Tang Shuxuan's vision is more accurate, and it is easier to make decisions. If it were Pan Yingzi, she would either refuse Zhang Jianting or ask Kang Jianfei for instructions, and she would never allow a young screenwriter to be a director.

Zhang Jianting was also not polite, and selected seven or eight actors in one go, namely Zhong Zhentao, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, Li Yuanfeng, and so on. Not only that, but he actually participated in an important supporting role, and brought the production manager Zeng Zhiwei to make a cameo.

Coupled with Kang Jianfei's "God of Gamblers" under preparation, Oriental DreamWorks will shoot four dramas at the beginning of 1983. The two crews are filming at the same time, and the behind-the-scenes staff can't stop at all, and of course, the bonus will be more at the end of the year.

In the parallel space, "Seven Loves", like "Happy Ghost", is a low-budget and high-grossing film, and it is a successful attempt by Shao Yifu to gradually abandon the big-studio system.

It's a pity that because DreamWorks signed Xu Anhua first, Zhang Jianting naturally entered DreamWorks for filming, which made Shao Daheng lose another good opportunity to sell at the box office.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and with the unsparing publicity, the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony opened smoothly.

Entering the Taiping Theatre from Des Voeux Road West, there is a slightly sloping promenade in the middle. Under Kang Jianfei's signal, this corridor has been widened a lot, and now it has been rolled out on the red carpet and has become a place for celebrities to appear.

"Home Alone" ranked second in the North American box office list last year, and after Kang Jianfei's information was gradually revealed, as a director, he became famous in the whole world.

The Hong Kong Film Awards, co-sponsored by Kang Jianfei's TV station and "Film Fortnightly", attracted many media reporters from Nanyang and Rì Han under the deliberate publicity of the organizers, and also made the invitation of the jury of journalists from various countries much easier.

Unlike the second Academy Awards in parallel time and space, where there was no organizer and it was delayed until the summer, this time the momentum was far greater than in the past. Not to mention the fans who came to join in the fun, but reporters from all walks of life blocked the road in front of the gate of the Taiping Theater.

There is no way, Hong Kong's West District is expensive, even if Kang Jianfei spends money to widen it, the space on the side of the street is very small. However, the environment at the back door of the Taiping Theater is very good, there is a large amount of open space on the one hand, and trees and flowers are planted in the open space, and a small garden is alive.

Perhaps because Kang Jianfei was the boss of one of the organizers, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun were not all present, and they all sent their subordinates over.

However, Liao Yiyuan, the boss of Yindu Agency, came happily, and Mr. Liao also came with Xia Meng of Jade Bird Company, because of this year's Academy Awards, Jade Bird Company's "Running to the Angry Sea" was nominated the most.

But it's a pity that due to the movie in the sea. The filming of the South Island, whether it is an actor or a director, uses a pseudonym, and no one is destined to dare to accept the award on stage in person after winning the award, so as not to offend the Taiwan authorities and be banned. Therefore, if "Running to the Angry Sea" wins several awards, Xia Meng will have to come to the stage to receive it, and the acceptance speech will have to be said several times.

Among the major film companies, Shaw Brothers has the least number of people, even fewer than Yindu institutions, mainly because Shaw Brothers' films are rarely nominated.

The brothers Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao are here and are now waving to fans, and their films are mainly nominated for action design, best editing and so on. The Xu brothers, Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian and others have a much greater chance of winning awards, and are now happily being interviewed by reporters.

Celebrities from all walks of life have appeared one after another, causing fans and reporters to move again and again. Especially when Xu Xiaofeng and Teresa Teng arrived, many fans broke through the barriers and squeezed over there, and the on-site security personnel were tired and sweaty to maintain the scene.

The award ceremony officially began at 6 p.m. and lasted until 7:30 p.m. After the ceremony, guests will move to The Peninsula Hotel, where the organizers will host an awards dinner.

The entire award ceremony will be broadcast on Phoenix TV at 9:30, leaving only two and a half hours for the TV station staff to do post-processing.

At 5:30, the red carpet show of the Academy Awards finally began, and the first to appear were Mecca and Zhang Aijia. The two played husband and wife in "Best Partner", walking on the red carpet with a bald head and a talented girl, which attracted attention, and the magnesium lights flashed so much that people couldn't open their eyes.

A pair of stars stepped on the red carpet, screams rang out one after another, and when Cheng Long appeared holding Xia Wenxi's hand, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly ushered in a high cháo.

In the parallel space, the actress that Golden Harvest is supporting this year should be Zhong Chuhong, but Zhong Chuhong has already signed into DreamWorks. Judging from the situation that Cheng Long led Xia Wenxi to appear, it is obvious that Golden Harvest is ready to support Xia Wenxi.

Who is Xia Wenxi?

I've watched the TV series version of "New Dragon Gate Inn", and the wind sāo proprietress in it is Xia Wenxi, and it is Xia Wenxi, who has passed the age of Qingchūn. Xia Wenxi, who is now being held on the red carpet by Cheng Long, is not yet 20 years old, and can be called a pure jade girl.

Then walked on the red carpet Liu Jialiang and Weng Jingjing, different from the previous appearances of Cheng Long and Xia Wenxi, this time not only the screams were much quieter, but some people even cheered.

Did Kang Jianfei sleep with 15-year-old Wen Bixuan as a beast?

Liu Jialiang and Weng Jingjing are even more magical, more than four years ago, these two fell in love at first sight. At that time, Liu Jialiang was 44 years old and had a wife (with three daughters and one son), while Weng Jingjing was only 14 years old, and she was just a pink little Lori.

The two have been silently dating for several years, and not long ago, there were tabloid rumors about the two, although not many people believed it, but now they are blatantly walking the red carpet together, how can they not be criticized?

In the parallel space, that is, two years later, 50-year-old Liu Jialiang left all his family property to his ex-wife, and married Weng Jingjing, who had just turned 20 years old, after the divorce, causing an uproar in Hong Kong public opinion.

Don't think that Weng Jingjing is a woman who is greedy for vanity, this woman comes from a wealthy family, and she is also a well-known movie star. And after marrying Liu Jialiang, she did not rely on Liu Jialiang's influence to make movies, but quit the entertainment industry to study, and then worked as an insurance broker and a lawyer.

The combination of these two people can only be said to be unreasonable. Otherwise, why would a 20-year-old beauty marry a 50-year-old man who is not handsome without seeking wealth or profit? And before marrying this old man, he began to be a junior for several years since he was a teenager.

The stars of major companies have entered through the red carpet one after another, and the appearance of Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong has brought a sensation that is not lost to Cheng Long.

Lin Qingxia is absent today, she and Zhen Zidan were invited by Songzhu Pictures to go to Rì to shoot a film and did not return.

Kang Jianfei was arranged to appear very late, and what was surprising was that he actually walked the red carpet with two women on his left and right, and these two women were not Hong Kong actresses.

The reporters from Taiwan present were very excited, because the two actresses who appeared with Kang Jianfei were Lin Fengjiao, who was as famous as Lin Qingxia, and Lu Xiuling, Lin Qingxia's jade successor.

Why do two top actresses in Taiwan suddenly appear with Kang Jianfei at the same time?

The reporters were in for a moment.

In fact, the answer is very simple, Lin Fengjiao has reached a bottleneck in Taiwan, and was invited by Kang Jianfei to play the role of the God of Gamblers' girlfriend, and agreed without much thought.

Kang Jianfei took Lin Fengjiao on the red carpet, which can be regarded as a warm-up for her development in Hong Kong.

As for Lu Xiuling, it is purely an addition to Lin Fengjiao's visit to Hong Kong.

After Lin Qingxia faded out of the Taiwanese film and television industry, Qiong Yao has been looking for an actress who can replace Lin Qingxia, and she finally chose Lu Xiuling. And Lu Xiuling also lives up to expectations, and now her fame in Taiwan is not even inferior to Hu Huizhong.

However, just some time ago, Qiong Yao's superstar company collapsed, and Lu Xiuling felt that there was no future in Taiwan, and decided to go to Hong Kong for development. After Qiong Yao learned that Lin Fengjiao went north to Hong Kong, she took the initiative to call Kang Jianfei and recommend Lu Xiuling, and then the two girls signed into Oriental Entertainment Company together.

To be honest, Kang Jianfei is not optimistic about Lu Xiuling's development in Hong Kong, because this woman is too literary and artistic. However, he knew that Lu Xiuling would become popular in the mainland in the next few years, and her attainments in music were also very high, so she could cultivate it first and send it to the mainland for development in two years.
