"Notes on Tomb Robbery" still failed to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the end, on the one hand, Chinese films are not welcomed by the judges, and on the other hand, because the competition is too strong.

The winning film for this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is called "Journey of Hope", which may not have been heard of by the vast majority of ordinary people, but this is indeed a very connotative film.

Filmed in collaboration with Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Italy, "Journey of Hope" is about the bitterness and tears of smuggled migrants. The filming technique is plain and not sensational, but the story itself and the realistic performances of the non-professional actors are enough to move the audience to tears, and the questions behind the film are even more thought-provoking.

Although "Notes on Tomb Robbery" failed to win the award, being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has already achieved the expected goal, which is conducive to the promotion and distribution of the film in Europe and the North and South.

Here in Hong Kong, the Spring Festival film arranged by Oriental Cinema is "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The film is produced by Xu Ke and directed by Hu Jinquan, Li Lianjie plays Ling Huchong, Zhang Meng plays Ren Yingying, Qiu Shuzhen plays Yue Lingshan, and Li Lizhen plays Blue Phoenix.

From the planning to the later stage of the whole play, except for arranging individual actors and participating in the revision of the script, Kang Jianfei did not interfere in other places. The film was finally filmed, Xu Ke personally invited Huang Zhan to write "A Laugh in the Sea", and also brought his friend Cheng Xiaodong to be a martial artist.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" took a year to grind, during which Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke had several conflicts, both of them were crew dictators, one was the director and the other was the producer, and no one gave in when they disagreed.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" collided with Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project". The two movies have their own leads, but in terms of box office, Cheng Long is still more powerful.

The Hong Kong box office of "Flying Eagle Project" was 39.04 million when it was released, and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" received rave reviews. But the box office was only 16.88 million. This time, Golden Harvest and Cheng Long won beautifully, although they failed to break the box office mark of 40 million, but they completely dominated the entire Spring Festival file of the movie.

Just when "Flying Eagle Project" was released, Kang Jianfei's record finally came out.

There are only 4 songs on the whole record, namely the Cantonese songs "Queen's Road East" and "Capital", and the Chinese songs "Pearl of the Orient" and "North. One Night in Beijing. Among them, "Queen's Road East" is sung by Kang Jianfei and Luo Dayou, "North. Jing One Night" sang with Ye Qianwen.

There is a prologue on the front and north side of the record. One writes Hong Kong, the other writes north. Capital city.

The Hong Kong side wrote:

In case you didn't know, Hong Kong is the only metropolis in the world where eagles hover in the sky.

If you don't already know......

For more than one hundred and fifty years. Hong Kong grew up in abandonment, compromising to survive in the gap between East and West. Her history is the trajectory of a dream.

Strangely, anyone who came here seemed to have gradually entered her dream. Grow up with her; And miraculously found their dreams. And don't want to leave.

Because they know that all the impossible difficulties have finally been resolved, and they continue to move forward in a dream.

And so the era finally came: the era of the 1990s.

Living here, I feel like a broker, making the biggest deal between history and the future.

Wang Fei got a cassette tape from the teacher for the first time, and after listening to it, he didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only say: "What a strange record." ”

Dai Sicong said: "It's not strange. It is special. The style of "Queen's Road East" and "Capital" is unified, and it is Kang Jianfei who is expressing his position. He supports Hong Kong's return to the motherland and is optimistic about the mainland's reform and opening up. As for "Pearl of the Orient" and "North. One Night in Beijing", is completely lyrical. The best thing is that he sings the great love of the vicissitudes of history in the form of pop music, but adds Peking Opera elements to express the love between men and women. The music style is varied, and it is simply a genius. ”

Wang Fei pondered the teacher's comments and said: "I still like this song "Pearl of the Orient" the most, "Queen's Road East" and "Capital" are too noisy, "North. One Night in Beijing is too frivolous. ”

Dai Sicong said with a smile: "This song "North. There are many interpretations of "One Night in Beijing", and at first glance it seems to be sung as a night. Feeling. But you savor the lyrics and it seems to be tourists in the north. The streets of Beijing are inspired by Peking Opera to express the eternal romance of the ancient capital. Or to put it a little more complicated, it's about the return of overseas travelers to the north. Jing's feelings are sad memories of things and people. ”

"Teacher, you're thinking too much, it's just a song." Wang Fei couldn't help but complain.

It's not just that Dai Sicong thinks too much, at this moment, Hong Kong doesn't know how many people are pondering Kang Jianfei's lyrics.

To be honest, Popular Records did not promote "Queen's Road East" too much, but as the first record in Kang Jianfei's life, he only needed to reveal a little information, and countless media would help promote it for free.

In Hong Kong, there are many people who hate Kang Jianfei and are jealous of Kang Jianfei, but there are more people who like to watch his movies, novels, and comics, and the number of hardcore fans alone is not inferior to that of first-line stars.

On the first day of the release of "Queen's Road East", the record sales directly exceeded 10,000, and it has been popular for more than half a month.

In another time and space, what is the popularity of the song "Queen's Road East"? Not only was it played everywhere on the streets, but there were several movies that used this song as the theme song or interlude.

It's a little better to fit the theme.,You said that the style of painting is completely wrong funny film、Black. Helping the film, what is the strange idea of using a connotation song like "Queen's Road East" as the theme song?

Quite simply, the lyrics of "Queen's Road East" touched the G-spot of Hong Kong citizens.

During the Spring Festival, people flock to the cinema to watch Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project", and walk out of the cinema to listen to "Queen's Road East".

Video stores, department stores, taxis, streets...... Wherever you go, as long as there is a place to play, "Queen's Road East" will burrow into your ears like a ghost.

"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

……”

The catchy lyrics like nonsense, after being authoritatively interpreted by "Tian Tian Daily", have simply sung into the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.

As for the song "Capital", it is far less concerned than "Queen's Road East", and even some of the lyrics in it have been criticized and flattered by some people.

Kang Jianfei was speechless, and in another time and space, Luo Dayou sang "Capital", and I didn't see so many people scolding him. And where are the lyrics flattering, it is obviously an objective evaluation of whether they are good or not, and even some of the lyrics are still very sensitive, and they may be banned if they are taken to the mainland.

Also controversial is North. One Night in Kyoto", the song is taken for granted as a night. Love, think it is Kang Jianfei in the north. A product of the Kyoto Romance. There are actually gossip tabloids making up stories, saying that when Kang Jianfei went north to watch the Asian Games some time ago, he had a fire with a certain actress in the mainland.

As for the song "Pearl of the Orient", if it is not sung in Chinese, its popularity is certainly no less than that of "Queen's Road East". Whether it is someone who hates Kang Jianfei or is jealous of him, they have to admit that this song is excellent from the lyrics to the tune.

In less than a week, "Queen's Road East" sold platinum sales, and by the time the Lantern Festival came on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Kang Jianfei's first record was already four platinum.

said that Kang Jianfei used "Truman's World" to express his dissatisfaction with the mainland, and after "Queen's Road East" came out, he finally stopped messing around, and then expressed strong disdain for Kang Jianfei.

Professional music critics have commented on this record, but they are all positive, and they can be summed up in two words, that is: amazing.

After the Spring Festival, the growth of record sales has slowed down, but it is still increasing. Later statistics showed that "Queen's Road East" sold a total of 320,000 copies in Hong Kong, which is the record sales of top singers.

Years later, "Queen's Road East" came in third on the Hong Kong 90s pop album chart by Ming Pao Weekly, with the reviewer saying: "This is the only disc in this chart, and the whole album has only 4 songs, but it records the restless ...... of Hong Kong at that time" (to be continued......
