757 Queen's Road East

Although Kang Jianfei felt ridiculous, the film review that politicized "Truman's World" was recognized by many people.

How so?

The various plots and elements in "Truman's World" are all covered with so-called political metaphors, and they can also fit with Kang Jianfei's experience.

Since the beginning of the 90s, Hong Kong people have been very enthusiastic and sensitive to cross-strait issues, especially since last year, there was another disturbance in Beijing, and now Hong Kong people have a negative impression of the mainland.

After the film review came out, many people thought that Kang Jianfei was using the movie to satirize, and even the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency sent people to contact him, wanting to understand Kang Jianfei's true attitude.

"What a mess!" Kang Jianfei tossed the newspaper aside.

Wen Bixia stroked the hair on her forehead, put another newspaper with positive film reviews into Kang Jianfei's hand, and said with a smile: "Since it's a mess, it depends on what it does." ”

As time passed, Wen Bixia became more and more mellow and charming, and her smile was full of charm. If you do a ranking of sexy actresses in Hong Kong, Wen Bixia will definitely be ranked in the top five.

Kang Jianfei naturally will not be angry because of a small film review, but is dissatisfied with some groups in Hong Kong borrowing him to make trouble, he Kang Jianfei and "Truman's World" have actually become a tool of public opinion in the hands of those people.

However, after such a hype, "Truman's World" has become more "deep", and all kinds of messy movie interpretations have also poured out, making people who were not ready to watch this movie enter the cinema.

In another time and space, Luo Dayou Music Factory released the album "Queen's Road East" in Hong Kong. Because he sang about the return of Hong Kong, he suddenly became the top of Hong Kong's three popular music charts, setting a sales record for Hong Kong's non-idol songs.

Now "Truman's World" is over-interpreted. stirred up the major media to discuss the issue of return again. In particular, a few days ago, HSBC in Hong Kong ran away and moved its registered place to the United Kingdom, which intensified the enthusiasm of the citizens for discussion.

You must know that HSBC is one of the banks that issue the "Hong Kong dollar", and now it is strange that it has moved its registered place so as not to arouse public speculation.

Some Hong Kong media even said that what Kang Jianfei really wanted to express was after Hong Kong's return to the motherland. It will become a "Truman's world", full of bondage and repression, and no one can escape the government's control.

Kang Jianfei is very passive and speechless now. He knew that public opinion could not be explained. Of course, he won't offend the North because of a movie, but it feels really unpleasant to be a knife to people, and those groups with evil intentions may be secretly having fun.

"Get the pen and paper." Kang Jianfei patted Wen Bixia's buttocks.

Wen Bixia hurriedly ran to the study and came back with a notebook panting.

Queen's Road East.

Kang Jianfei wrote the title of the song on a piece of paper. He didn't bother to hold a press conference to explain "Truman's World". simply use a song "Queen's Road East" to show his attitude.

Although some people say that "Queen's Road East" satirizes the party, Kang Jianfei does not think so, he believes that this song has more positive significance, at least to guide Hong Kong citizens to face the return with a calm attitude.

The lyrics of this song are more interpreted, and Kang Jianfei is ready to let his newspaper authoritatively interpret it the day after the song is released.

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to draw a stave, and the simple score and lyrics were quickly completed.

Wen Bixia was one of the members of the Happy Girl Group at the beginning, and she took the time to learn to sing and read music. At this time, I came over to take a look, and I was immediately dizzy by the lyrics.

"Queen's Road West and Queen's Road East

Turn east onto Queen's Road Central

Why is there no palace on Queen's Road East?

The people of Queen's Road are surging

……”

Wen Bixia thought it was Kang Jianfei who was writing songs for which singer again. But after reading a few lines of lyrics, she didn't understand what was written, and she couldn't help asking, "Brother Fei, who are you going to sing this song to?" ”

"Myself." After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he picked up the phone.

As for the original songwriters Luo Dayou, Jiang Zhiguang and Lin Xi, Kang Jianfei can only say sorry, anyway, Luo Dayou and Lin Xi have a lot of good songs, and they are not bad for one or two. As for Jiang Zhiguang, this is the newcomer Wang of the Hong Kong music scene this year, and when he is in the limelight, he is still famous without "Queen's Road Central".

However, it has only been half a year since Luo Dayou published "Queen's Road Central", and Kang Jianfei is not sure if the other party has written the song. For the sake of prudence, Kang Jianfei invited Luo Dayou over on the grounds that he was invited to record a song together.

Luo Dayou was originally fooled into Fengxing Records by Kang Jianfei, but he left not long after, and with the support of Taiwan's Rolling Stone Records, he founded a music factory in Hong Kong - Lin Xi came out of the music factory.

Kang Jianfei couldn't compete with Rolling Stone Records, because Luo Dayou was originally a person from Rolling Stone, and he had been friends with several CEOs of Rolling Stone for many years.

Luo Dayou was found by Kang Jianfei in a daze that day, and before he knew what was going on, Kang Jianfei talked around the circle about his views on Hong Kong's return.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Dayou had not yet created "Queen's Road Central" at this time, but he had a little intention of writing similar songs.

As long as it is not written, after all, Luo Dayou is just composing, and the lyrics are written by Lin Xi, a freak, and there is no possibility that the manuscript will crash.

"Dayou, how about you look at this song." Kang Jianfei smiled and handed the song sheet to Luo Dayou.

Luo Dayou was also dizzy when he saw the lyrics, but he didn't ask Kang Jianfei, but read it twice more from beginning to end, and gradually realized some of the meanings. At least some of the sentences can be roughly understood without Kang Jianfei to explain, such as:

"Confidant said goodbye and went to this city

It is up to the great comrades to come up with new ideas

There are units everywhere in the pre-sale market

But Mong Kok may have to change its name

……”

Luo Dayou was confused at first, and the more he read it in the end, the more flavorful he became, and finally he even hummed the tune. After humming it again, he asked, "Write about the regression?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said with a smile: "How is it written?" ”

"It's funny, especially since the lyrics are in an outsider's teasing tone." Luo Dayou praised.

Kang Jianfei asked Luo Dayou out to test it, at least he had to find some excuses, his excuse was that he wanted to sing with Luo Dayou.

When encountering a good song, Luo Dayou naturally agreed without hesitation, he is now the boss, and he doesn't need to think too much about singing with Kang Jianfei.

During New Year's Day, Kang Jianfei and Luo Dayou personally participated in the arrangement of "Queen's Road East", and "Truman's World" also won at the box office.

By the end of January 1991, the box office of "Truman's World" finally exceeded 35 million, but the stamina was almost exhausted.

Although Kang Jianfei modified some details of the film in order to cater to the market, and added some elements of Hong Kong-style comedy, it is still far less popular than "Tomb Robbery Notes".

36.61 million Hong Kong dollars!

This is the local box office of "Truman's World", but in the end, it still failed to continue the myth of "Tomb Robbery Notes", and it didn't even pass the hurdle of 40 million.

But it's enough, there are only a handful of movies in Hong Kong that can break 35 million at the box office every year.

However, film critics' evaluation of "Truman's World" is surprisingly high, at least Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei" is more sought after, and most of them will be able to sweep the Academy Awards next year.

Speaking of film awards, news has come back from Hollywood, and after Oriental Film Company spent money to lobby, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Hong Kong has always been known as the Hollywood of the East by the media, which shows that everyone admires and yearns for Hollywood very much, and the Academy Awards are far more valued than the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals.

Kang Jianfei's work was suddenly nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which immediately detonated public opinion, but unfortunately "Truman's World" has been released at this time, otherwise it can take the opportunity to hype it.

Approaching the Spring Festival, Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project" stepped up its publicity offensive, and Fengxing Records also took the opportunity of "Tomb Robbery Notes" to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, announcing that Kang Jianfei was about to release a single with Luo Dayou.

Kang Jianfei released a single? Still with Luo Dayou?

The reporters who received the news had already misheard it themselves, and the readers who saw the news had already been dazzled by themselves.

It's rare!

Everyone knows that Kang Jianfei can write songs, and Zhou Huimin and Anita Mui's famous songs were all created by Kang Jianfei, but it is the first time that he has released a single by himself.

Before Kang Jianfei's song was released, it had successfully aroused the interest of many people. (To be continued......)
