When Kang Jianfei brought the crew back to Hong Kong, the 20th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards ceremony had ended successfully.
Because it was the 20th birthday of the Golden Horse Awards, this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony was particularly grand. Everything was imitating the Oscars, and even a Golden Horse Awards dinner was held for the first time.
However, all this has nothing to do with DreamWorks, because of the intentional dilemma of the Taiwan News Bureau, DreamWorks did not give up the videos this time.
Boss, Yu Kanping is here.Chen Shuli walked into the recording studio and whispered beside Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei told Lu Guanting and Li Xiaotian who were making the soundtrack: You guys will continue to be busy, I will go out for something if I have something to do.
Lu Guanting and Li Xiaotian were both popular records at this time, and this time they were responsible for the soundtrack of "The Deadly Express".
Here we have to say that although Jiahe has stabilized the box office of the movie in recent years, its talent reserves in all aspects have been much worse.
Not only does Jiahe have no female stars who can show off, but she doesn’t even have some behind-the-scenes talents, such as Jackie Chan’s “Plan A”, which invites Li Xiaotian to help with the music.
Kang Jianfei left the recording studio and came to his office at Fengxing Records Company. Yu Kanping, who was waiting there, immediately stood up and said: Boss, I made an appointment with Deputy Director Chen of the News Bureau to have dinner yesterday, and he finally spoke to me.
Oh, what did he say?Kang Jianfei waved his hand and asked Chen Shuli to go out.
Yu Kanping said: Deputy Director Chen said that the ban on DreamWorks from giving away Golden Horse Awards this time was mainly because of the Central News Agency's Hong Kong Branch.
Kang Jianfei asked strangely: I am making a movie, what's wrong with Guan Central News Agency?
Yu Kanping explained: The Hong Kong Branch of the Central News Agency is responsible for collecting news information in Hong Kong. Many news about the mainland in Taiwan are collected by the Hong Kong Branch of the Central News Agency.This time, Taiwan’s dissatisfaction with DreamWorks is because the Central News Agency analyzed that you are a left-wing filmmaker. If the second young master hadn’t been hiding the Bamboo League, DreamWorks’ films would have been banned by the News Bureau.
Kang Jianfei asked: Why does the Central News Agency think I am a left-wing filmmaker?
There are several reasons. First, you have filmed "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in mainland China, second, you have taken in Xu Anhua, a left-wing filmmaker, third, Feng Huáng Taiwan helps the mainland to speak good things, fourth, Fengxing Records cooperates with the mainland China Record Corporation to produce records, and fifth, Fengxing Records' singers participated in the mainland Spring Festival Gala. Yu Kanping smiled helplessly, there are many reasons behind it. Anyway, you have been labeled as left-wing filmmakers and pro-maintainers.
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: Since Deputy Director Chen dares to have dinner with you, it means that everything is remedy.
Yu Kanping nodded and said: Yes, I have learned about it specially over the past few months.The most serious confrontation between filmmakers in Hong Kong was in the mid-to-late 1950s. At that time, as long as the word "left" was touched, it would definitely be banned by the Taiwan News Bureau.However, with the right-wing Yonghua and Xinhua being replaced by Shaw Brothers and Dianmao, the relationship between left-wing filmmakers has eased a lot.
How to relieve it?Kang Jianfei asked, he did know very little about this.
Yu Kanping explained: At that time, Shaw Brothers and Dianmao were representatives of right-wing companies, and Great Wall, Feng Huáng and Xinlian were representatives of left-wing companies. However, Shaw Brothers once spent HK$120,000 to buy 10 films produced by Great Wall every year, and Dianmao also often bought Feng Huáng's films.The films produced by these left-wing companies were blatantly released in Southeast Asia through Shaw Brothers and Dianmao, and were even released in the Taiwanese market.
This is OK?Kang Jianfei sounded incredible. He asked, why did Shaw Brothers only release "Seventy-Two Tenants" in the left-wing theater and was banned by the Taiwan authorities?
Yu Kanping smiled and said: There are two reasons. One is that "Seventy-Two Tenants" was originally a left-wing movie, and Shaw's version is a remake; the second is the main reason, that is, Shaw's "Seventy-Two Tenants" was too sensational after its release, and Taiwan cannot turn a blind eye.
Kang Jianfei now understood, and he said: In other words, what Taiwan News really cares about is not the movies that can take care of its own face?
That's true, Yu Kanping nodded and added that as far as I know, two movies invested by the Yindu Institution were successfully released in Taiwan this year.
It sounds so funny.Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sigh.
Yindu Institution is a merger of all left-wing film companies, studios and theaters in Hong Kong. This film invested by the left-wing film base can be successfully released in Taiwan, which is simply unbelievable.
However, after Yu Kanping explained, Kang Jianfei quickly understood.
After the establishment of Yindu Institution, it began to reform according to Jiahe's model.
Yindu Institution has money, people, equipment and channels. On the one hand, it shoots itself, on the other hand, it shoots in conjunction with the mainland, and on the other hand, it sets up a satellite company.
Yindu Institution now has two satellite companies, both of which support some new film directors or famous directors founded. For example, the funder behind Li Hanxiang's new Kunlun Film Company is Yindu Institution.
Moreover, these satellite companies have nominal relationship with the Yindu Agency, and they just use the Yindu Agency's resources to shoot movies and screenings, which bypasses the intervention of the Freedom Association and also gives the Taiwan News Bureau a step forward.
In fact, the two movies successfully released in Taiwan, like "The Old Summer Palace", were invested by Yindu institutions, and their first screening was at Yindu Cinema in Hong Kong.
However, "The Old Summer Palace" has a very high reputation and box office, so it is so big that the Taiwanese authorities cannot pretend to be invisible, so they are shot as a typical example.
Kang Jianfei knocked on the table and said: After you said that, I finally understand what the Taiwan News Bureau means.They wanted me to quietly make box office in Taiwan, but they would never allow DreamWorks movies to win the Golden Horse Awards, because the Golden Horse Awards are the facade of the Taiwan film industry and the last bottom line of the News Bureau.This is also the reason why Mr. Jiang has been reluctant to explain it clearly, because there is no way to explain this kind of thing clearly, and we can only rely on ourselves to understand it.
Yu Kanping nodded and said: It seems that is indeed the case.
On the News Bureau, you can donate 5 million for me.Kang Jianfei said.
Yu Kanping asked: New Taiwan dollars?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Could it be that he would give Hong Kong dollars?
Yu Kanping sighed: The tribute of the 1 million last year was like a waste of water.
Just feed the dog.Kang Jianfei said.
Kang Jianfei wanted to please the mainland and not want to lose Taiwan's market, so he had to walk a tightrope on both sides.
In fact, even if the Taiwan market is abandoned, it is nothing to Kang Jianfei, but this will greatly affect the development of Oriental Entertainment Company.
Once DreamWorks is banned, several other companies under Kang Jianfei will definitely suffer. At least half of the big-name stars signed by Oriental Entertainment will terminate the contract and run away.
Kang Jianfei and Yu Kanping agreed to bribe, and after thinking about it, he said: Let’s do this, I will open another Taiwanese branch of DreamWorks, and you will be responsible for producing the branch, specializing in filming that can win the Golden Horse Awards.
Yu Kanping was ecstatic when he heard this. He has been in charge of DreamWorks' Taiwan affairs for the past two years and occasionally returns to Hong Kong to serve as a producer or associate director.
If Kang Jianfei really lets him be responsible for the production business of the Taiwan branch, then Yu Kanping will be considered a member of DreamWorks.
The two discussed the matter of the Taiwan branch and finally finalized the plan.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss. Kang Jianfei only needs to pay for it. Yu Kanping formulates a shooting plan and then hires Taiwanese actors and behind-the-scenes teams. It is basically the same as the operating model of the Taiwan Branch of Xinyi City.
After talking about the main business, Kang Jianfei picked up a form brought by Yu Kanping and asked: What is this?
Yu Kanping said: The list of winners of this year's Golden Horse Awards.
Kang Jianfei opened it and glanced at it, and laughed: There are not many Hong Kong movies that have won awards this year, most of which are local movies from Taiwan.
Yu Kanping couldn't help but sigh: Taiwanese films have developed abnormally, and the total box office of the Taiwanese film market this year is almost twice that of last year's data.But the top few box office movies are basically American and Japanese movies, followed by Hong Kong movies, and Taiwanese movies can no longer be sold at box office.But this year, Taiwan’s literary and artistic films have been released, all of which are popular but not popular. The artistry and commercial nature of Taiwanese films have been completely separated.
Yu Kanping said a lot, and Kang Jianfei only heard a few words from it: Taiwanese movies are completely dead.
The movie has lost its box office soil, what's the use of winning more awards?No one thinks that money is too much, and investors will not use money to play with trophy.
Since the mid-1980s, a very strange situation has occurred in the Taiwanese film industry: the Taiwanese film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more Taiwanese bosses investing in movies.
But these Taiwanese investors are only willing to spend money in Hong Kong, and then make money back to Taiwan after filming Hong Kong films.
Taiwan's local directors can be so focused on investment everywhere like beggars. After finally getting a budget, they can shoot all the art films that are not popular and win a bunch of awards.
Kang Jianfei jumped and looked at the list of winners, and suddenly stopped in the column of Best Photography.
"It'll be cold on the lakeside tonight", the name of this movie is interesting.Kang Jianfei suddenly smiled.
Yu Kanping introduced: This is a ghost film produced by Taiwan’s Gundam Film Company. It sold for millions of box office and the results are quite good.
Female ghost, haha, Kang Jianfei popped on the list of awards and said to Yu Kanping: Help me sign the heroine of this movie.
Which movie?Yu Kanping did not keep up with Kang Jianfei's jumping thinking.
Of course it is "It will be cold by the lake tonight".When Kang Jianfei saw Yu Kanping with confusion, he explained, "I have seen the poster of this movie, and the image of the heroine has great potential."
Yu Kanping said: But this actress seems to have signed a contract with Gundam Company, and it will cost a lot of money if we force it to dig it up.
Kang Jianfei said with a very affirmative tone: Within NT$1 million, I will sign her even if I try my best.
Yu Kanping was completely speechless. The heroine of "It Will Be Cold to the Lakeside Tonight" is just a student from an art school. This is her first drama when she debuted.
This kind of fledgling actress can be easily signed with NT$100,000, and NT$1 million is really a waste of money.
Yu Kanping estimated it for a moment and said: It should be about 500,000, so I will try my best to press down.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: If she refuses to come, tell her that I will tailor a movie for her next year.
Tailor-made?
Yu Kanping was a little stunned. It seemed that Kang Jianfei not only thought that the actress had potential, but the rhythm of being promoted. He couldn't help but say, Boss, isn't this too hasty? What if...
If nothing happens, just do what I said.Kang Jianfei interrupted him and forced his order.
All right.Yu Kanping didn't know where Kang Jianfei got such great confidence, but he inexplicably promoted an actress who had never met before.
For Kang Jianfei, there is no need to worry about this, because the actress is named Joey Wong.
Because it was the 20th birthday of the Golden Horse Awards, this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony was particularly grand. Everything was imitating the Oscars, and even a Golden Horse Awards dinner was held for the first time.
However, all this has nothing to do with DreamWorks, because of the intentional dilemma of the Taiwan News Bureau, DreamWorks did not give up the videos this time.
