The 10th anniversary of the Academy Awards was a big event, with colorful flags fluttering everywhere outside the Hung Hom Stadium and even a lion dance performance. Hong Kong's number one movie stars, except for those who really can't get out of the body, all gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the Academy Awards.

Not only that, the Taiwanese group Little Tigers, which is popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, were also invited to be guest performers, attracting many young fans to come to cheer, and the fan area outside the Red Pavilion was so crowded that it was about to be squeezed and exploded.

Hollywood superstars also invited two people, namely Sophie? Marceau and Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger is world-famous for Terminator 2, Sophie? Marceau's encounter is very different from the original time and space, she became popular in Hollywood for her role in "Pretty Woman", and at the same time starred in the Hong Kong version of "Fang Fang" and is well-known to Hong Kong fans. These two people are very famous in Hong Kong and the United States, so the organizing committee of the Academy Awards decided to invite them to add glory to the award ceremony.

Hollywood stars don't just say please, Sophie? Marceau and Schwarzenegger were able to accept the invitation, mainly for the sake of Kang Jianfei's face. Sophie? Needless to say, Schwarzenegger became popular because of the "Terminator" series, and Kang Jianfei is not only an investor in "Terminator", but also the second largest shareholder of Paramount Pictures, and Schwarzenegger must give face.

In fact, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee still wants to invite Stallone, because Stallone is more popular in Hong Kong, but unfortunately this one is really not moved, and the asking price is also frighteningly high.

In addition to celebrities, some well-known directors from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were also invited to attend this year's Academy Awards ceremony and gala dinner.

Now that Hong Kong films are in full swing, the Academy Awards naturally have the confidence to hold a bold 10th anniversary birthday party.

Shu Qi is the main founder of the Academy Awards. Because of his dedication to film production, he has voluntarily withdrawn from the Academy Awards - the main reason is that he cooperated with Cai Zhiming before, not only offended Kang Jianfei very badly. also befriended some other directors and actors.

The awards are now chaired by Chan Pakson, and the Directors Guild of Hong Kong is also the organiser. After the Spring Festival, everyone held a meeting and decided to register as a non-profit organization called "Hong Kong Film Awards Society Limited" to maintain its daily operation with television and radio broadcast fees and distribution income.

……

"Director Zhang, please look over here and take a photo."

"Andy. Andy, I love you! ”

"Brother Fa, you are so beautiful today."

"Master Xing. I heard that your new film has been launched. ”

"Zou Sheng, when will the sequel to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" be made?"

"Ah Hui, do you have the confidence to win another actor?"

“……”

Outside the Red Pavilion, whenever a star arrives. The reporters immediately rushed up and surrounded them. And those fans outside are even more crazy shouting.

An extended Lincoln drove slowly from a distance, and after the window was lowered, Schwarzenegger looked at the crazy fans from afar and exclaimed, "It's so atmospheric, I thought I was at the Oscars." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Wait for you and Sophie to appear later, fans will definitely be even crazier." ”

"Really? That's so exciting. Schwarzenegger said politely.

As he was about to get out of the car, Schwarzenegger began to arrange his clothes and tie. And Kang Jianfei is holding Sophie? Marceau's hand said, "Let's play a few more days in Hong Kong this time." ”

Sophie? Marceau was a very contradictory person. She has an unrestrained and bold personality, often ignoring Kang Jianfei's opposition. appeared on the screen, which made Kang Jianfei very helpless. But she is a very affectionate person, and since she became Kang Jianfei's lover, she has not had any other boyfriends, which makes Kang Jianfei very happy.

Of course, thanks to Sophie? Marceau stayed in the United States and France all the year round, and Kang Jianfei couldn't be sure if she had eaten it secretly, something that no one could forbid, unless that rope took Sophie? Marceau was on a leash. The time the two spend together every year adds up to about half a month, sometimes when Kang Jian flies to the United States, he looks at her by the way, and sometimes Sophie? Marceau flew to Hong Kong to meet his lover.

"I'll be in Los Angeles for three days at most, and I'll be back in Los Angeles next week." Sophie? Marceau has been leaning on Kang Jianfei's shoulder affectionately, not afraid of Schwarzenegger knowing about their relationship at all.

In Hollywood, it is common for actresses to have too close relationships with their bosses and directors, and Schwarzenegger has long seen this. Although he didn't have anything unusual on the surface, he was still quite surprised in his heart, because Sophie? Marceau rarely exposes scandals, and she hasn't heard of any man she has ever been involved with, it turns out that her secret boyfriend is actually Paramount's second largest shareholder, no wonder she receives a lot of good shows every year.

Lincoln finally stopped on the side of the road outside the Red Pavilion, and many reporters were staring at the limousine, some of whom had already walked briskly. After the car door opened, Schwarzenegger was the first to get out of the car, and in an instant, more than a dozen cameras flashed at the same time.

The reporters just wanted to interview and ask questions, Lincoln's car door opened again, Kang Jianfei and Sophie? Marceau got out of the car one after another, and the two of them were still holding hands together.

Everyone saw that it was two Hollywood superstars plus Kang Jianfei coming, and the scene was even more sensational, in addition to reporters swimming here, some filmmakers also came over to say hello.

The reporter who is fluent in English shows his advantage at this moment and begins to interview the two Hollywood stars in English, while those who do not speak English can only interview Kang Jianfei.

"Mr. Schwarzenegger, what is your impression of Hong Kong? Have you ever watched a Hong Kong film? ”

"Several of Kang's films have been released in the United States, and I like his new film "Truman's World" very much."

"In addition to Mr. Kang's movies, do you have any other Hong Kong movies you like?"

"Of course, I love every Bruce Lee movie, and Chinese kung fu is great."

"Except for Bruce Lee?"

"Well, Godzilla is pretty good too."

"That's a Japanese film ......"

“……”

"Miss Sophie, how does it feel to visit Hong Kong again?"

"It's kind, I love the city."

"You and Mr. Kang held hands just now, are you a couple?"

"We're good friends."

"What do you think of Mr. Kang?"

"He's a very charismatic and talented man."

"Have you ever thought about working with Director Kang on a movie again?"

"I've been looking forward to it."

"What about other directors in Hong Kong?"

"If the script is good, I won't say no."

“……”

"Mr. Kang. Rumor has it that you're worth more than $3 billion? ”

"I didn't count."

"If that's the case, it seems that your personal assets have surpassed Li Chaoren, Zheng Dawang and Huo Daheng to become the new richest man in Hong Kong."

"Is there one? They have a lot more business than I do. I was barely in the top five for the first few years. ”

"You must be the first in personal assets, because Hong Kong is on the list of the richest, and it is generally calculated according to family assets, and the Japanese Sega you control and the Oriental Film Company in the United States are omitted. Since Sega went public, your holdings of Sega stock are worth more than $500 million. ”

"So many?"

"According to professional calculations, with the development of Tseung Kwan O New Town, the land of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City alone is worth HK$1 billion. And there is a lot of room for appreciation, I heard that you only spent more than 10 million to buy it that year. ”

"I spent a total of more than 50 million, and I bought the land again when the film and television city was expanded."

"You have such a keen eye. Have you ever thought about working in the real estate industry? ”

"I heard that Jiahe is engaged in real estate, so I won't join in the fun, just buy some buildings for my family to live in, I don't know much about real estate."

“……”

At the scene of the interview at the Academy Awards. Kang Jianfei actually talked to reporters about the rich list and real estate.

Mainly American newspapers after reporting on Kang Jianfei's personal assets. It has attracted great attention in Hong Kong, because once this news is true, then Kang Jianfei will be the richest man in Hong Kong of the new generation.

Of course, many people are skeptical about this, but Paramount's shares can't be faked, and the Paramount shares held by Kang Jianfei alone are worth more than $2 billion. And with the hot sale of 16-bit game consoles, Sega has grabbed a large piece of fat from Nintendo's mouth, which is worth the hot sale of new games such as "The King of Fighters". Sega's stock skyrocketed after its listing, and the market value of Sega shares in Kang Jianfei's hands actually exceeded $500 million.

Believe it or not. Kang Jianfei's net worth of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is absolutely unmistakable. But the problem is how could he have so much money to buy 37% of Paramount's shares in the first place, and Kang Jianfei couldn't get more than a billion dollars even if he used his pants at that time!

In the 80s, there was no Internet, and it was very difficult to check information, and few Hong Kong people still know that Kang Jianfei made hundreds of millions of dollars just by selling the box office of "Home Alone 1" and the scripts and copyrights of a series of movies. And the films he secretly invested in such as "Out of Africa" and "Rain Man" are also calculated at the global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars.

The three of them were surrounded by reporters for a while, and when they knew that the next star was coming, the reporters who surrounded them gradually dispersed, and it was the turn of other filmmakers in Hong Kong to greet them.

It took half an hour just to greet and talk nonsense, and Kang Jianfei finally chatted with Wu Siyuan and Chen Xunqi.

Wu Siyuan said: "Mr. Kang, just now I discussed with Archie about the construction of the Directors Guild Building. ”

"Isn't there enough money? Do you need me to sponsor a little? Kang Jianfei asked.

Wu Siyuan said bluntly: "The Directors Guild is a common association of directors in Hong Kong, and it is not appropriate for you to sponsor it." ”

The members of the Hong Kong Directors Guild come from major companies and independent directors, and if Kang Jianfei spends money to build the headquarters building, it will make other directors have bad thoughts - Kang Jianfei wants to use money to control the Directors Guild.

Kang Jianfei nodded and asked, "It's really inappropriate for me to pay, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Xunqi said: "To make a movie, from the script to the director to the actors, the members of the association participate on a voluntary basis, and use the box office earned to build the association building. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "This idea is good, and I will also make a cameo role when the time comes." ”

Wu Siyuan also smiled: "With Mr. Kang's support, half the success is done, and I hope that Oriental Cinema can make a good schedule for this movie at that time." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Kang Jianfei agreed to come down.

(To be continued......)

PS: The movie that is preparing to build the Directors Guild Building is called "Double Dragon Club", and those who are familiar with Hong Kong movies will definitely be scared by the many names that appear in the end credits, so if you are interested, you can flip through it.
