"Fangfang" was filmed successfully for only 8 days, and the crew was forced to stop operating. The main reason was that Sophie Marceau had a contract dispute with the original company and could not come to Hong Kong for a while.
The whole thing started with the fact that Gaumont forced Sophie Marceau to take on a movie in the last two months of its contract period, with no hope of renewing his contract with Sophie Marceau.
The current situation is that Sophie Marceau has expired with Gaomont's agency, but the contract for the movie she is filming must be completed.
The entire plot of "Fang Fang" was greatly modified by Kang Jianfei, for example, the background of the film was placed in Hong Kong.
Leung Ka Fai plays the male lead, Leung Lehui, a poor intern in Hong Kong who has just graduated from school, while the female lead, Fang Fang, played by Sophie Marceau, is a French perfume college student who came to Hong Kong to visit her grandmother during the summer vacation.
As for Tony Leung’s fiancée in the film, he is his distant cousin.
My cousin's family is relatively rich. For several years, Tony Leung has been living with her cousin's house when he was studying in the countryside. His family members on both sides hope that they can get married.
As for other plots, they are basically the same as the original film of "Fangfang", except that the lines have become more oriental, and the rhythm will be brighter than the original film, and there will be comedy scenes in many places.
To put it bluntly, Kang Jianfei turned "Fangfang" into a Hong Kong romantic comedy, but retained the most interesting thing in the original film.
Doing so can ensure the box office of the movie in Asia. As for whether these changes will be accepted by French audiences and film festival judges, we can only wait and see.
Just as "Fangfang" was suspended, two major news happened in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
First, a group of film merchants led by Li Xiao Pīng and Ma Fengguo initiated the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association, which also symbolically invited Kang Jianfei to join the association.
Unfortunately, only a minion was sent to send an invitation letter. Li Xiao Pīng and Ma Fengguo did not go there in person. Kang Jianfei was too lazy to see him, so he asked Li Meifeng to throw the invitation letter directly into the trash can.
Second, the Hong Kong branch of the International Records Association sued Oriental TV Production Company and Feng Huáng TV Station for infringement because the music used in TV series and variety shows rarely pays copyright fees.
Of course, the defendant was not only Kang Jianfei's side, but TVB was also sued, and the situation was even more serious than Oriental TV Production Company and Feng Huáng Channel.
The Hong Kong Branch of the International Recording Association stated in a lawyer's letter that it required several companies to immediately stop infringement and pay the copyright fees owed in previous years, otherwise all Hong Kong record companies would jointly ban the two TV stations and Oriental TV production companies.
It is naturally impossible to ban it. Wireless TVB and Feng Huáng are monopoly in Hong Kong, and each has Huaxing Records and Fengxing Records. Other record companies also need to promote it on the two TV stations. It is not good for each other to break up.
Moreover, it took time to collect evidence for infringement for many years, and the lawsuit will last for a long time, and both sides will pay large amounts of lawyer fees.
The best result is that everyone sit down privately to negotiate, the TV station stops infringement, and then pays the record association one-time copyright fee as compensation.
Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Administrative Building No. 1, Kang Jianfei's Office.
Li Meifeng, wearing an OL uniform skirt, walked in with the documents in her arms, and reported: Brother Fei, France sent a message saying that Sophie Marceau would still take half a month to come to Hong Kong.
I understand. After the exact time is available, you arrange for the crew to pick them up.Kang Jianfei nodded.
Li Meifeng also said: In addition, next week's establishment ceremony, do you want to attend?
What am I going to do?I'm not a member.Kang Jianfei said disdainfully.
It’s not that Kang Jianfei does not support Hong Kong’s professional film association, but that the so-called Hong Kong Film Association is too utilitarian and the initiator is just a bunch of film dealers.
Li Xiaopin, the initiator of the Xiang Film Association and the first chairman, is just a film manufacturer specializing in importing western films to publish in Hong Kong.
And sometimes she only bought a Western film in two or three years. Her two theaters often show various old films, and during good schedules, they often rented them to the Jiang family's Anle Theater to screen the latest Hollywood blockbusters.
Speaking of which, the theater under Li Xiao Pīng was previously a member of the new era theater chain temporarily established by Kang Jianfei.
Do you believe that a film businessman who makes money by introducing Western Film and renting cinemas is the purpose of establishing the Film Association to promote the development of Hong Kong films and safeguard the interests of film practitioners?
Let’s talk nonsense. They initiated the establishment of the Film Association just to expand their influence in the Hong Kong film industry and facilitate their future profits.
It can be seen from the refusal of Li Xiao and Ma Fengguo to invite Kang Jianfei to the meeting that they do not want Kang Jianfei, a big shot in the film industry, to join the association, because as long as Kang Jianfei joins, Zou Wenhuai, Mai Jia, Pan Disheng and others may also join, and Li Xiao and Ma Fengguo will no longer be able to sit firmly on the position of the chief and vice chairman of the association.
In order not to make wedding clothes for others, Li Xiao Pīng and Ma Fengguo formed the Hong Kong Film Association, which actually blocked all the major film giants in Hong Kong.
Without companies like DreamWorks, Jiahe, Xinyi City, and Debao, what is the film association?It's a thing that sells dog meat with the help of sheep.
However, Kang Jianfei is not a god who knows everything. He forgot that Hong Kong's film rating system was created by this Li Xiaopeng.
Two years later, the Hong Kong Film Association, which had no sense of existence, launched a foreign article as an introduction to hype the importance of Hong Kong film grading, but in the end it was really fucking successful. The Hong Kong Film Association has since become well-known to the public in Hong Kong.
With this contribution, Li Xiao won the Lifetime Film Achievement Award many years later and received an admission ticket to invest in and build cinemas in the mainland; while Ma Fengguo transformed himself into a representative of the National People's Congress after the return of Hong Kong and became the chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Development Bureau.
Kang Jianfei is not interested in these two people and the association of Laushi, and he focuses on the lawsuit between the Recording Association and the TV station and the TV production company.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui walked into Kang Jianfei's office one after another. Huang Xizhao is still the general manager of Feng Huáng TV Station, while Zhong Jinghui is the general manager of Oriental TV Production Company, and Xu Xiaoming is the deputy general manager and program director of the TV Production Company.
What do you think of the Recording Association’s requirements?Kang Jianfei asked.
Huang Xizhao said: Let’s fight for two or three years.The record companies of the Record Association are also unhappy. As long as the TV station cooperates to counter-ban those companies, record companies will surrender within half a year, and this matter will definitely be left unresolved through negotiation.One thing is very important, that is, Feng Huáng TV must reach an agreement with TVB in private to jointly respond to the criticism of the Recording Association.
Zhong Jinghui's view is different: I think it's better to be polite first and then soldiers. Everyone sit down and talk to see how much money can be done, so that they can be done once and for all, so as not to have endless trouble in the future.
Kang Jianfei did not ask and discuss in detail, and directly made a decision: Then let’s do it, negotiate and resolve it first. If the differences are too big, we can’t reach an agreement, so as Manager Huang said.
Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui were both very surprised. Unexpectedly, the topic of discussion today was decided by Kang Jianfei in a few words.
Then I heard Kang Jianfei say: I invited you two to discuss what to do in the future, and the scarcity of music in the production of TV programs.Although there are many people who can compose music on Fengxing Records, at most they can create theme songs for TV series and variety shows. The demand for interludes is too high and it takes too much effort. Fengxing Records also has its own things to do.
There is another thing Kang Jianfei didn't say, that is, Oriental TV production company also needs to pay to ask people from Fengxing Records to write music. If there are various interludes and background music in a TV series, if you spend about ten TV series throughout the year, you will spend money to ask people to write music, the production cost will be greatly increased.
This is also why TVB has a good cooperative relationship with Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, but he refuses to ask them to write, and always uses the music of major record companies directly without paying.
Generally speaking, when a TV station uses the latest creations, it will have to pay a certain usage fee. For example, TVB once paid Kang Jianfei the copyright fee for "The Original Scenery of Hometown".
But there is not much attention to old works. The copyright of this song "Shanghai Bund" created by Kang Jianfei is still in the hands of Kang Jianfei, but TVB has been used countless times in recent years and has never given a penny.
The Recording Association sued two TV stations this time. It is for this reason that almost all the works of record companies in Hong Kong were infringed and used for free by the TV station.
Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui discussed in Kang Jianfei's office for a long time, but they really couldn't discuss any good countermeasures. This kind of thing was obvious. Either continue to use the infringement for free, or increase the production cost in the future and find someone to write the songs by themselves. I really couldn't find any compromise.
The three of them chatted for a while but it was unthinkable. Just as Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui were about to leave, Li Meifeng, who was adding coffee to them, suddenly interrupted: Mr. Kang, Manager Huang, Manager Zhong, I remember that I received a letter three months ago, and someone recommended a mainland composer.The rewards required by mainlanders are very low, so why not try that person?
Huang Xizhao also recalled: Oh, you are talking about the recommendation letter Ah written by the employee of the Legislative Council, and I have also received it.What good things can a mainland composer who has just come to Hong Kong?Write about the rising of the red sun in the east?
Kang Jianfei ignored Huang Xizhao's contempt for mainland musicians, but suddenly remembered a great man. He asked: Meifeng, what is the name of the recommended composer?
I forgot what name, and I went to find out if the letter was still there.Li Meifeng turned around and ran outside.
Kang Jianfei, Huang and Zhong waited for half an hour. Li Meifeng finally came in with a letter and said happily: Fortunately, I put it in the drawer and did not be disposed of as a waste document. The name of the mainland composer is Hu Weili!
The whole thing started with the fact that Gaumont forced Sophie Marceau to take on a movie in the last two months of its contract period, with no hope of renewing his contract with Sophie Marceau.
