9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was originally about to be painted at the end of February, but since there were no good movies to be arranged in March, Princess Jin's theaters simply continued to extend the release time of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".

March 6, 1982, Jingzhe.

"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was officially released, with a total box office of 23.18 million in Hong Kong, becoming the biggest winner of the New Year in 1982.

I have to say that Hong Kong audiences prefer to watch comedy movies.

"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is a classic new martial arts film released ten years in advance, and also with the east wind of "Shaolin Temple" and Kang Jianfei's box office appeal, the box office is still not as good as "Best Partner" in New Art City half a year ago.

Before the movie was released, Kang Jianfei's estimated box office was more than 25 million, but unfortunately it was still more than one million.

As the only movie with a box office of over 20 million this year during the Spring Festival, after the final box office was announced, the media's focus was still on the ban on Kang Jianfei in Taiwan.

It was just speculation before that Hong Kong media has obtained confirmation from Taiwan in recent days.

Originally, some film companies saw "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" selling well and wanted to invite Hui Yinghong, Ng Mengda and others to make movies. Now they have also begun to shirk their responsibilities. After signing the film contract, they can only sigh that they are unlucky.

Three days after the painting of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", the first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

Just like Kang Jianfei's situation, there are many people in the circle who didn't want to participate, and they had to attend because of favors.

2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Arts Centre.

Kang Jianfei took Brigitte Lin's men out of the car, looking at the bare road in front of the Art Center building, and couldn't help but feel funny.

The Academy Awards were held too simple, not even the red carpet, so the savings were a bit too much.

I entered the building and took the elevator and followed the sign to the Shouchen Theater. After entering, Kang Jianfei found that the reporters were in the theater. No wonder there were not many people in front of the Art Center building.

There were a lot of reporters, and there were about twenty or thirty media outlets. Kang Jianfei was besieged as soon as he appeared. What was surprising about the interviews of these people was that he was banned by Taiwan.

Kang Jianfei kept silent and pulled Lin Qingxia's hand and squeezed forward.After walking to the front row, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that Run Run Shaw was also here. "Movie Biweekly" seemed to have a wide connection.

In addition to Run Run Shaw, a tycoon in the film industry, Hong Kong Government Affairs Officer Zhong Yijie, Municipal Affairs Chairman Zhang Youxin and others also attended, and they were also award presenters.

From this point of view, the Hong Kong Film Awards may have received support from certain departments when "Movie Biweekly" held the Hong Kong Film Awards.

There are more and more people in Shoucen Theater, including actors, directors, screenwriters and other filmmakers, and some are film critics and ordinary movie fans.

Chow Yun-fat loosened his tie and took some breath. After looking around for a week, he said to Chen Yulian beside him: Sister Lian, am I dressing too formally today?

Chen Yulian smiled and said: How can you think you are dressing too formally?The awards ceremony should have been dressed like this.

Chow Yun-fat pointed at the surroundings and said: It seems that I am the only one among the actors who are wearing suits.

Chen Yulian looked up and saw that except for Run Run Shaw and other film company owners, Chow Yun-fat was wearing formal clothes alone.

A guy like Tsui Hark came with messy hair and randomly got a coat on his body, just like a dock porter.

Several bosses from Xinyi City came, and Sammo Hung soon entered the venue, but Jackie Chan did not come because he had no share in the award presentation today.

The host of the award ceremony was Wu Jialian and Zhan Xiaoping, the former was a senior host of Hong Kong Radio, and the latter was a song host of TVB.

After the two hosts came on stage, Wu Jialian glanced at the bottom and said to Zhan Xiaoping beside him: Aping, there are many amazing people coming to the award ceremony today.

Zhan Xiaoping cooperated and asked: Is that true?What big names have come.

Wu Jialian said: Mr. Zhong from the Government Affairs Department and Chairman Zhang from the Municipal Bureau are considered big shots?

Zhan Xiaoping nodded and said: It's Ah or Ah, they are all big shots. If Chairman Zhang is unhappy, he will make me a host unable to do anything in a single word.

A chuckle came from the audience, and Zhang Youxin, who was teased by two hosts, also laughed.

Wu Jialian pointed to Run Run Shaw's seat and said: Chairman Zhang is not very powerful. There is someone over there who coughed, and you have no salary this month.

The two introduced several big shots respectively, but Kang Jianfei, Sammo Hung, Mai Jia and others did not mention it. It seemed that the bosses of the new company were not worth enough.

Kang Jianfei's face was not unhappy, but Chen Bosen, who was sitting in the audience, felt a little uncomfortable and said to Shu Qi beside him: Could these two people have done it on purpose?

Shu Qi is in her twenties and is from Bao'an like Kang Jianfei. She was originally a screenwriter at Jiayi TV Station. After Jiashi went bankrupt, she joined Jiahe as a director and deputy director. Later, she founded "Movie Biweekly" with Chen Bosen and others and served as editor-in-chief.

Because Shu Qi was both a screenwriter and assistant director at Jiahe, she later directed the movies herself and had to plan the program for the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and she was often too busy to be busy.

So after being the editor-in-chief of "Movie Biweekly", Shu Qi gave up the position of editor-in-chief to Chen Bosen.

Now that Shu Qi has resigned from Jiahe and is focused on developing the "Movie Biweekly", Chen Bosen returns the position of editor-in-chief.

The real planner who founded the Hong Kong Film Awards this time was Shu Qi, undoubtedly the officials of the Government Affairs Department and the Municipal Bureau of the Municipal Affairs Bureau, who were also invited by Shu Qi's face.

Judging from the current development speed of Oriental DreamWorks and the ranking of Hong Kong movie box offices in the past two years, although Kang Jianfei is much less valuable, his status in the film industry is enough to be comparable to Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai.

The two hosts only talked about Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, but did not mention Kang Jianfei at all, which was obviously inappropriate.

Shu Qi said helplessly: Maybe they were just unintentional mistakes. He shouldn't care about Mr. Kang for a meal after the award ceremony.

Wu Jialian on the stage continued to say: Today we are going to award the Hong Kong Film Awards, Aping, do you know how many years of Hong Kong films have?

Zhan Xiaoping said in surprise: I really don’t know when you ask this.

Wu Jialian smiled and said: Actually, I don’t know either, but Mr. Xian Qiran specially created a brief history of Hong Kong movies. Please watch the big screen!

The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and when the projector's beam was cast on the big screen, the two hosts had already left.

A black and white stills of a movie appeared on the screen, and the voiceover also sounded: In 1909, Binjiemen Brasky, the owner of Shanghai's "Asia Film Company", filmed the silent comedy "Stealing Duck" in Hong Kong.The main creators of the film are all from the Hong Kong drama industry, with the director being Liang Shaopo, and the actors include Liang Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Li Beihai, etc. The history of Hong Kong films has thus begun...

Immediately afterwards, another black and white photo on the street, voice-over commentary: In 1911, the first luxury cinema in Hong Kong, "Dorley Cinema", was completed in Des Fu Road...

When another black and white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Run Run Shaw couldn't help but sit up straight.

In 1913, the first feature film "Zhuangzi Tests Wife" produced in Hong Kong was previewed.The director is Li Minwei, the photographer is Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors are Li Minwei and Yan Shanshan.This film marks the end of the Hong Kong film enlightenment period and the beginning of the Cute bud period, opening a new page in the history of Hong Kong film.In 1913, this year was the first year of Hong Kong movies in the true sense. The photo you see on the screen is Mr. Li Minwei, the father of Hong Kong movies...

Kang Jianfei didn't know much about Li Minwei, but he was more interested in Li Minwei's granddaughter Gigi Lai.

Watching scenes passing by on the big screen, Kang Jianfei couldn't help but think: In another thirty or fifty years, what is his status in the history of Hong Kong film?

Perhaps because of fear of causing controversy, this brief history of Hong Kong movies was recorded that Bruce Lee died and did not continue to produce it.

The film has a lot of notes on the history of the heroes in the 1950s and Shaw Brothers struggle in the 1960s, but Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai rebeled from Shaw Brothers one after another, but it is just a matter of the matter.

In a certain year, director Li Hanxiang left Shaw to Taiwan to found Guolian Film, and Mr. Zou Wenhuai left Shaw to found Jiahe in a certain month.

As for Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Mai Jia, Kang Jianfei and others, they didn't even mention it in this film.

Even so, the Hong Kong filmmakers on the scene also received a burst of warm applause. After all, the industry's predecessors appeared in the film just now.

After a burst of applause, the two hosts returned to the stage.Wu Jialian said: What will be awarded below are the top ten Chinese-language film awards this year.

Zhan Xiaoping said excitedly: The top ten Chinese films that won the first Hong Kong Film Awards are... "Father and Son Love"!

The director of "Father and Son Love" is Fang Yuping, but the director did not attend the event today. The boss of Feng Huáng Pictures went to receive the award on his behalf.

The boss is over 60 years old. Today he wears a Zhongshan outfit, which seems to be showing his style as a left-wing filmmaker. He walked on stage to receive the award certificate from the Etiquette Miss and said a brief award speech to the microphone: Thank you, thank the organizing committee for its affirmation and recognition of "Father and Son Love". In the future, Feng Huáng Pictures will make more good movies to serve the people.

Kang Jianfei sat down and muttered: No way, he didn’t even have a award presenter, he didn’t even give a trophy, just give him a certificate of awards?

Wu Jialian is still reading the list of winners: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!

There was nomination for the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and no one knew who would win the award in advance.

Tsui Hark was stunned for a moment and ran up, looked at the award certificate and said: I didn’t expect someone to be brave enough to hold a movie award ceremony. I admire his courage and hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards will be better and better.

After the award ceremony, Tsui Hark did not go down, but retreated to the back and formed a row with Feng Huáng Pictures' boss station. The top ten Chinese-language film winners will take a group photo later.

Zhan Xiaoping continued to recite: "The Story of Hu Yue"!

Anh Xu, dressed in casual clothes, walked up calmly and said lightly: Thank you Mr. Kang for investing in me, otherwise this movie would be difficult to give birth.
