498 [The 4th Academy Awards]

In March 1985, Kang Jianfei cooperated with the mainland to build three cinemas, which started construction in Shanghai/Hai, Guangzhou/Zhou and Shenzhen/Shenzhen respectively. The three cinemas are all new six-storey buildings, and the lower floors are used to open department stores, selling appliances, clothing, food, etc., and the top floor is the cinema's screening room.

These three buildings are all land provided by the mainland government, and Kang Jianfei fully invested. The completed building is owned by the local government, with the cinema owned by Kang Jianfei 49% and the local government 51%, while the department store is entirely Kang Jianfei's property. As for the land where the building is located, it is in the nature of allocation, and theoretically the land belongs to the state, but as long as Kang Jianfei does not fall out with the local government, then he can continue to use it indefinitely.

Of course, Kang Jianfei himself did not have time to run a department store, and after the building was completed, he could only hire Hong Kong department store managers to go to the mainland to work as managers with high salaries. As for the construction sites of the three buildings now, Kang Jianfei has sent people to guard and coordinate.

In order to establish a good relationship with the local government, Kang Jianfei donated 2 million yuan to Shenzhen/Shenzhen University, Sun Yat-sen University and Fudan University respectively to build libraries, new books and sports equipment for the three schools.

How to say that Kang Jianfei is also a patriotic capitalist, and he still can't be vague when it's time to bleed, Shao Yifu has donated 4 Hong Kong dollars of 1 million Hong Kong dollars since the beginning of the year, and many Shaw buildings are rising on the land of the motherland.

After throwing money in the mainland, Kang Jianfei, who was in Hong Kong, did not favor one over the other, and donated another 100 Hong Kong dollars to the "Hong Kong Film Culture Center".

The Hong Kong Film Culture Center was established 7 years ago, aiming to develop the Hong Kong film industry, regularly holding film cultural activities, promoting valuable films, customizing film special research, publishing the journal "Filmmaker", and also offering film courses.

The reason why Kang Jianfei donated money so generously to the Hong Kong Film Culture Center. In fact, with a very heavy utilitarianism, in addition to making money from the goodwill of many directors, it is also to better absorb film talents. This includes absorbing Hong Kong's local animation talents, as the Hong Kong Film Culture Centre was the only institution in Hong Kong to offer animation production courses at this time.

In addition, last year, the Hong Kong government also established the only school in Hong Kong that specializes in cultivating performing arts talents, namely the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. This school is still very powerful, and in the parallel space, Huang Qiusheng, Zhu Xiao, and Deng Ziqi are all alumni of this school.

With the Hong Kong Film Culture Center cultivating behind-the-scenes creative talents, and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts cultivating actors, in fact, the future star training course of Oriental Entertainment Agency can be completely suspended.

Today's Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts has only been established for half a year. Teachers and hardware equipment are very insufficient, Kang Jianfei donated 2 million yuan to purchase professional equipment for the Academy of Performing Arts.

Kang Jianfei knows the importance of a good reputation, the richer he is, the easier it is to be jealous, but the rich who like to engage in charity are respected, so he decided to donate 18 million every year in the future to save some good name.

March 18th. Zhang Tianxi, deputy general manager of the administration department of DreamWorks, was transferred to Dark Horse Comics as general manager.

Same. The 4th Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation Ceremony was held at the Taiping Cinema.

This year's Academy Awards DreamWorks received the most nominations. Even "Can't Stop Love" starring Zhang Guorong, Wen Bixuan, and Li Lizhen won a nomination for Best Screenplay.

Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest are a little miserable, with only one "Teppanyaki" and "Food Truck" shortlisted, respectively, but the discontinued Shaw Brothers has four films "Tang Dynasty Heroic Girl", "Fate", "Cher" and "Wulang Bagua Stick" were nominated.

In addition, the leftist film "The Year of Flowing Water" received a total of 10 nominations, making it the biggest favorite to win this year's Academy Awards. The production company of this film is Jade Bird Film Company. The producer is Jin Yong's dream lover Xia Meng, and it is also the last film produced by Xia Meng before he sold Jade Bird, and the heroine of this film is mainland actor Siqing Gaowa.

It is worth mentioning that Huang Yulang, who was proud of the spring breeze last year, also began to enter the film industry. Yulang Pictures' "The Wrong Marriage Road" not only sold 4.9 million at the box office, but also the female number one Ye Dexian was also nominated for Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards.

The most important thing that attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media was that Kang Jianfei, a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Film Awards, did not even have a nomination for a technical award this year.

Originally, the Academy Awards were sponsored by Phoenix Channel, although a law firm was asked to do the whole process of notarization, but some people have always said that Kang Jianfei presented the award to himself. This year's DreamWorks films have won half of the nominations at the Academy Awards, but fortunately, Kang Jianfei's films have not been nominated for a single one, otherwise there will be more people who say strange things.

Of course, whether it is right or wrong, people who say strange things will not disappear, for example, some media reported: "Kang Jianfei was lost in the box office tide and completely abandoned the artistic pursuit of film." ”

Some media also said: "Kang Jianfei has exhausted his talents, and he can no longer make good films like "Dao Ma Dan" and "Mr. Zombie", and he can only rely on boring comedies to get money in the pockets of fans." ”

For these newspapers, as long as they are not directly attacked, Kang Jianfei laughs at them.

Although he did not receive any nominations this year, Kang Jianfei still had to attend the Academy Awards ceremony, and he also brought Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin with him.

As Hong Kong's leading director, Kang Jianfei will attract attention as long as he appears in public, how could he let go of the great publicity opportunity of the Academy Awards? This time, I took Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin to attend the awards ceremony, just to promote the new film that is about to start.

"Andy, Andy!"

"Little Brother Ma, I love you."

"Aaron (Alan Tam), Aaron, Aaron!"

"Red Girl ......"

The RVs drove to a stop outside the Taiping Theater, and fans outside the police cordon screamed and shouted from time to time, expressing their love for their idols.

Another RV stopped in front of the red carpet, and the flash lights lit up the moment Kang Jianfei walked out of the door, but Guan Zhilin and Li Lianjie, who got out of the car later, surprised the reporters.

In order to avoid difficulties from the Taiwan authorities, since Li Lianjie signed into DreamWorks, he only filmed one "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and was loaned to Yindu to make a film; And Guan Zhilin has been in fine clothes and food for the past two years, and she has no intention of making any movies, so her fame is losing little by little.

Now that Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin are playing with Kang Jianfei, what does this mean?

The answer is already obvious, the two will be the heroes and heroines of Kang Jianfei's new film.

Everyone thought that Kang Jianfei would take advantage of the victory to chase and continue to shoot nonsensical comedies with Zhou Xingchi as the protagonist to make money at the box office, but they didn't expect that the heroes and heroines were actually Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin.

Although "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid" have a high box office in Hong Kong, Li Lianjie's fans in Hong Kong are far inferior to Zhang Guorong, and even Wu Mengda is not comparable, because Li Lianjie has always been a mainlander.

Why does Kang Jianfei's new film actor not choose Zhou Yunfa, Leslie Cheung, or Zhou Xingchi, but Li Lianjie from the mainland?

The reporter who has a fast brain has already guessed that Kang Jianfei is about to make a kung fu movie.

The crew members of "The Wrong Marriage Road", who had just walked the red carpet in front, couldn't help but turn around to see what was going on when they heard such a big formation behind them.

The famous cartoonist Huang Yulang, who led the team, was nominated for Best Actress in his first film in the film industry, and he was extremely happy, but unfortunately he did not receive the cheers of fans when he walked the red carpet just now.

The director of "The Wrong Marriage Road" is a small person who has only made 5 movies, and the actor Zheng Zeshi is as fat as a pig, and there are few fans at all, so Ye Dexian is still relatively popular.

Now seeing the battle of Kang Jian flying away from the red carpet, Huang Yulang is extremely envious in his heart, the flash is already flashing so fast that he can't open his eyes.

Huang Yulang deliberately waited at the door of the theater, waiting for Kang Jianfei and the three of them to come over after walking the red carpet, and took the initiative to come up and shake hands and say hello: "Hello Mr. Kang, the contemptible person is Huang Yulang, the owner of Yulang Pictures." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Huang, I have been looking up for a long time!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

It is said that Huang Yulang's "The Wrong Marriage Road" film is good, but it's a pity that Huang Yulang doesn't have his own theater, this movie is only in a few theaters in Golden Harvest, and it was forcibly released after 8 days of release, but the box office can get 4.9 million. If it is replaced by Golden Harvest's own film, the film is fully promoted and the film is arranged according to the attendance rate, and the box office is likely to break 10 million.

Regardless, the film's success strengthened Huang Yulang's confidence that investing in making a film would be profitable. Although Kang Jianfei has now been banned, DreamWorks' directors, photographers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes talents can cooperate, so Huang Yulang is extremely enthusiastic about Kang Jianfei.

Huang Yulang naturally didn't know that Kang Jianfei was preparing to make comics to steal his job, and walked in while chatting with Kang Jianfei with a smile, and did not forget to praise Kang Jianfei's novels for being well written while chatting about movies.

Zheng Zeshi of "The Wrong Marriage Road" is not easy to face Kang Jianfei, because he is the first batch of contracted actors to leave DreamWorks, and he followed Huang Yulang behind him at this time and lowered his head without saying a word.

It's normal to change jobs in the film industry, but changing jobs when a company is in trouble always gives people a sense of lack of human touch.

"Mr. Huang is ready to make a big splash in the film industry?" Kang Jianfei asked casually.

Huang Yulang was just a time when the spring breeze was proud, and he naturally gave birth to a good feeling that I could do anything, and he pretended to smile modestly: "I'm just making a small fuss, not as big as Mr. Kang's DreamWorks family, I hope to cooperate more with DreamWorks in the future." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It's easy to say, in fact, I am also going to make comics, and Mr. Huang will need more advice when the time comes." ”

Huang Yulang thought that Kang Jianfei was just joking, and said happily: "It must be, if Mr. Kang makes a comic, I will definitely support it." ”

Kang Jianfei thought to himself: It is impossible to support me, and you may want to kill me when the time comes. (To be continued......)
