There was a long red carpet outside the Taiping Theater, and the hosts on the other end of the red carpet were still Zheng Zeshi and Mary Zhang.

Mary Zhang just sent off Mecca, Zhang Aijia and Xu Guanjie, and said to the camera of Phoenix Channel with the microphone: "Just now, the bald detective shared with us the behind-the-scenes story of "Best Partner", and the next person who is about to step on the red carpet is the crew of "Deadly Express". Mr. Kang Jianfei, Mr. Cheng Long, Ms. Lin Qingxia, Mr. Deng Jingsheng and Mr. Zheng Guangming are invited to ......"

As Mary Zhang's words came out, the three Mitsubishi RVs stopped at the other end of the red carpet in turn, and the nominated crew members of "Deadly Express" appeared one after another. Kang Jianfei, the director, walked in the front, followed by the heroes and heroines Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, as well as other behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew, everyone stopped from time to time and waved into the distance after stepping on the red carpet, and the flashing lights on both sides of the red carpet lit up.

Listening to the cheers of the fans, Mecca, who was about to enter the theater, exclaimed: "This voice is much louder than we just now." ”

"'Deadly Express' is selling very well in Japan, and 'Best Partner' is under a lot of pressure." Xu Guanjie said worriedly that he and Cheng Long's box office influence in Hong Kong is on par, and both of them have many fans in Japan, so it is inevitable that there will be comparisons.

Zhang Aijia didn't speak, she was about to officially leave Xinyi City in two weeks, and today she just came to appear and go through the motions.

"Best Partner 3" was released after the Gregorian calendar, so it did not receive any nominations this time, and could only compete for the next Academy Awards, Mecca, Zhang Aijia and Xu Guanjie were all guests invited by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee.

Waiting for the crew members of "Fatal Express" to walk across the red carpet and come to the temporary small stage, Zheng Zeshi said: "Today's scene is very rare, and the outstanding filmmakers of DreamWorks and Golden Harvest Pictures get together as members of the same movie. ”

"yes. This seems to be the first time that Mr. Kang and Brother Long have cooperated," Mary Zhang handed the microphone to Cheng Long and asked, "Do you think Brother Long is happy to work with Mr. Kang?" ”

Cheng Long is a person who is used to talking about scenes, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Kang's level of making movies is very, very good, and the story of "Deadly Express" was the first to be proposed by him. At the same time, Mr. Kang respects the ideas of the rest of the crew very much, and can brainstorm and co-create, we are very happy to work together this time, and hope to have the opportunity to make movies together in the future. ”

Zheng Zeshi immediately asked Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, just now Cheng Long wanted to cooperate with you again." Do you have any plans to do so? ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It depends on whether Boss Zou lets people go, Ah Long is the pillar of Jiahe." ”

Mary Zhang said to Lin Qingxia again: "Miss Lin, do you have the confidence to win the trophy of the actress today?" ”

Lin Qingxia took the microphone and said: "Actually, it is very surprising to me that I can be nominated for Best Actress, after all, "Deadly Express" is a commercial action movie. There is very little room for the actors to play their acting skills. ”

The two hosts chatted a few more words before pinching the time to say: "We are here to wish the crew of "Deadly Express" good results. Next, I would like to invite the crew members of "Half the People" Director Fang Yuping, Miss Xu Suyin, Mr. Wang Zhengfang, and Mr. Shi Yangping to ......"

When the crew of "Half the Man" walked across the red carpet. Kang Jianfei had already dragged Lin Qingxia's hand into the Taiping Theater, sitting in the front row boredly waiting for the award ceremony to start.

Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia sat next to each other and chatted intimately, occasionally talking and laughing with Cheng Long and others next to them. A moment later, Fu Qi and Shi Hui came in and sat down in the back row of Kang Jianfei, along with their daughter Fu Mingxian.

Fu Mingxian will turn 14 in a few months. It's a lot longer than the last time I saw it. She lay on the back of Kang Jianfei's seat and said in surprise: "What a coincidence, Brother Kang is also there." ”

"What does it look like to scream? I didn't let you come if I knew the way. Shi Hui taught her a lesson and pulled her daughter back to her seat.

The latter couple is not small. Fu Qi is the current general manager of Yindu Institution and the boss of Zhongyuan Film Company (Zhongyuan Film Production Company is a satellite company of Yindu Organization, and "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid" are both produced by Zhongyuan Pictures); Shi Hui is currently the director of the actor room of Yindu Organization and the chairman of the South China Film Workers Federation.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are the real power figures of Hong Kong's leftist film companies, and Kang Jianfei has no conflict of interest with them, and their previous relationship with each other was quite harmonious.

Kang Jianfei turned around and smiled: "Miss Fu is the time when she should be lively and cute, don't be too strict." ”

Shi Hui said: "It's not okay for girls to teach. ”

Fu Mingxian shrugged his nose, suddenly leaned into Kang Jianfei's ear, and whispered: "Brother Kang, I have passed the audition for "Happy Ghost 5", don't tell my parents." ”

Kang Jianfei couldn't smile bitterly when he heard it, "Happy Ghost 5" was planned and filmed by Zeng Zhiwei, and it was ready to be released around the summer vacation, and the heroine in it was basically a newcomer in the audition. In this way, there are three benefits, first of all, the audition of new actors is a disguised publicity, secondly, the salary of new actors is much lower, and the third is to give the audience a sense of freshness.

In fact, although "Happy Ghost 5" is under the guise of auditioning for new actresses, two of the three heroines are artists from Oriental Entertainment Company, and only one place is left for ordinary girls who come to audition.

Fu Qi didn't talk about his daughter, but asked Kang Jianfei: "The "Shushan" invested by Mr. Kang seems to have stopped filming? ”

Kang Jianfei casually explained: "The director has some new ideas and is ready to change the shooting plan. ”

Fu Qi said: "I went to the mainland a year ago, and the deputy director of Beijing Film Studio, Jiang, is the crew of "Shushan", he said that "Shushan" must be a good movie, and it would be a pity to stop filming halfway. ”

"Will continue shooting." Kang Jianfei smiled, but didn't say anything. Although he agrees with Xu Ke's idea of filming the "Shushan" trilogy, he does not approve of Shi Nansheng's budget, after all, the shooting cost of a single film of 50 million is too expensive.

50 million Hong Kong dollars is converted into US dollars, which is only more than 6 million, which is not enough to make a "Terminator", but the problem is that the cost of filming in the mainland can be greatly reduced.

At present, all films filmed in the mainland can only be filmed in cooperation with the mainland. When filming a movie, a large number of mainland film and television resources can be mobilized, and only a small amount of money is required, for example, mainland photographers and actors do not need to pay them, and at most they spend a small amount of money when hiring extras.

Of course, the copyright of the film made in this way in mainland China belongs to the mainland co-production company, which is mandatory and cannot be changed.

After Kang Jianfei formulated the shooting plan for "Shushan", he would ask people to remake the budget plan, intending to control the shooting cost of a single film between 35 million and 40 million. And the so-called trilogy will only shoot the first part for the time being, and if the box office cannot be recovered, the filming plans for the second and third parts will be shelved indefinitely.

Fu Qi asked that "Shushan" was just a reason, and the next words came to the point, he said: "Next month, the South China Film Workers Federation will have an event, mainly to study the early and middle Chinese film history, I wonder if Mr. Lu Daokang is interested in participating?" ”

The so-called South China Federation of Film Workers is the stronghold of leftist filmmakers, and it is an organization opposed to the Freedom Association.

Kang Jianfei has not joined anywhere now, and as his influence in the Hong Kong film industry grows, he has naturally become the target of the Freedom Federation and the South China Film Workers Federation.

Fu Qi and Shi Hui are both high-level leaders of the South China Film Workers Federation, and they have long wanted to pull Kang Jianfei into the club, but there is no suitable time, and now they are taking this opportunity to test Kang Jianfei.

If Kang Jianfei agrees to participate in their activities, then there is a possibility of further development. As long as Kang Jianfei can be brought into the South China Film Workers Federation, the momentum of Hong Kong's leftist films will be greatly enhanced.

Kang Jianfei has been in the Hong Kong film industry for several years, and he knows these sensitive things very well, and he politely refused: "I have a new film to shoot next month, and I don't think I have time to participate in any activities, I'm really sorry." ”

Shi Hui smiled: "It doesn't matter, next time there is an event, I will invite Mr. Kang to participate, and Mr. Kang will have to appreciate his face at that time." ”

Kang Jianfei said perfunctorily: "Definitely, definitely." ”

Shi Hui said: "A few years ago, I went to Beijing/Beijing with my brother for a meeting, and the leaders appreciated Mr. Kang's film very much. Now that the mainland is preparing to increase the quota for foreign films every year, if Mr. Kang is interested in selling films to the mainland, I can act as an intermediary to liaise on his behalf. ”

Shi Hui also has the position of general manager of the Overseas Chinese Development and Trade Department of Yindu Institution, managing part of the distribution and procurement matters of Yindu Institution, and she handles the selection and delivery of films sold to the mainland every year.

In order to pull Kang Jianfei into the Leftist Filmmakers Association, Shi Hui actually began to lure her, which shows that she attaches great importance to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei only pretended not to understand what Shi Hui was saying, and he laughed: "DreamWorks' films are mainly commercial, and I am afraid that they do not conform to the artistic concept of the mainland." ”

Fu Qi interjected: "Mr. Kang's "Sword and Horse" is good, promoting the revolutionary spirit and patriotism, and will definitely pass the film review." ”

Kang Jianfei didn't want to continue to talk about this topic, he said: "I'll go back and ask the marketing and distribution department and let them come up with a set of plans." ”

Kang Jianfei's words were purely perfunctory, and when the time came, the distribution department contacted Shi Hui, anyway, all kinds of opinions could not be discussed.

Shi Hui took Kang Jianfei's words seriously, and planned to contact the distribution department of DreamWorks in a few days, anyway, he wanted to get Kang Jianfei into the camp of leftist filmmakers. (To be continued......)
