After the Lantern Festival, the annual Hong Kong Directors Association Spring Tea is the annual Hong Kong Directors Association.
Unlike the atmosphere of celebration last year, although this year's Spring Festival is very happy on the surface, many directors' smiles on their faces are a bit reluctant.
Just in January, the Directors Association passed the election for a new term.
In response to everyone's strong request, Kang Jianfei agreed to participate in the presidential election and was finally elected as the president of the association with a very high vote rate of nearly 90%, and Jackie Chan and Zhang served as vice presidents.
There is no so-called task to be accepted in the face of danger. The Hong Kong Directors Association is a civil society group that cannot bear the heavy responsibility of saving Hong Kong films.
Of course, after Kang Jianfei became president, the association would have much more glorious and prosperous activities.This director's Spring Tea Conference was held at the Peninsula Hotel, and many reporters were invited to participate.
I don’t know if Kang Jianfei has a big face or the Directors Association has a big face. All the wines of the Chunming Club are sponsored by Peninsula Hotel, which saves a lot of money in the club.
Mr. Kang, congratulations on the big sale of "Kung Fu"!
Mr. Kang, it’s time to change his name to President Kang!
Mr. Kang, happy Chinese New Year!
……
As soon as Kang Jianfei appeared, the reporter's camera quickly turned on, and then a large number of directors came forward to greet him.
Huang Baiming smoked a cigarette and said to Gao Zhisen with a smile: But go and say hello?
Let's go there together.Gao Zhisen curled his lips. Although his job change was a bit unauthorized, this grudge had already been over the past few years.
Wong Pai-ming walked in front, shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said: Mr. Kang, this time "Kung Fu" is a surprise.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "The Great Rich House" in Xincheng is also good.
Huang Baiming just smiled loudly. His family knew his family's affairs. This time, he and Gao Zhisen filmed "The Rich House" with him is aiming at raising money.
I never used my brain in the plot. I used the script of "Happy Events in Family" as a template, and then everyone piled up scenes in it, and it turned out to be a new New Year film.
After making a few polite words with Huang Baiming, Kang Jianfei shook hands with Gao Zhisen again, and said nothing.
Not long after, Jackie Chan also showed up, but Sammo Hung never showed up.
After Sammo Hung's "One Sword" failed, he only served as a martial arts leader in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Demon Sect Leader" and "East Evil and West Poison", and no works have been released until now.
Even in newspapers and magazines, Sammo Hung's name has not appeared for a long time, and this person seems to have disappeared.
A few minutes later.Kang Jianfei and Jackie Chan held their hands together, and the reporter on the scene pressed the shutter crazily.
The two of them didn't say much, but just held their hands and faced the reporters, smiling for them to take photos.
"Kung Fu" and "Drunk Fist 2" have been in full swing since its release, and have been screened for more than 20 days in a row, gradually widening the box office gap.
The cumulative box office of "Kung Fu" has reached 42 million, while the box office of "Drunk Fist 2" has just exceeded 3,500. Jackie Chan lost very simply, and the remaining competition depends on the overseas box office.
"Kung Fu" has given Hong Kong audiences too many surprises.That exaggerated comic style is integrated into the kung fu films, and computer special effects are added, which is undoubtedly a breakthrough in the kung fu films.
Why has the box office in Hong Kong been in a downturn in the past six months?It is because the audience is tired of watching old-fashioned things, and whoever shoots the film can refresh them, they will buy whoever they will pay.
Needless to say, the Spring Tea Club was filled with wine, the day after the banquet, Kang Jianfei initiated the first regular meeting after he was elected president of the Directors Association.
The main content of the meeting was that Kang Jianfei established the Kang Jianfei New Star Guide Foundation in his personal name.
This foundation aims to support new Chinese directors.
Not only in Hong Kong, but also in Chinese directors around the world can apply for fund assistance.
As long as the movie plan and script are affirmed.
You can obtain the foundation's financial and technical support. The only requirement is that the film copyright belongs to Oriental DreamWorks.
The Hong Kong Directors Association is also one of the foundation’s partners, and each association member has a recommended place every year.
Of course, whether the review will be passed in the end depends on the foundation review team.
It doesn’t mean that any movie can get the support of the foundation, and how far those bad movies follow the trend can go.
On March 10, "The House of Rich" finally came to an end with a box office of 37.36 million.
On March 16, "Drunk Boxing 2" was released, showing one week more than "The Rich House" and the box office was 40.97 million.
On March 22, "Kung Fu" ended its screening with a box office of 53.84 million, becoming the box office champion of the 1994 Lunar New Year holiday.
Hong Kong's population exceeded 6 million last year, and movie ticket prices are rising year by year.
Although the box office of "Kung Fu" is very high, Kang Jianfei and Stephen Chow's fame are not enough, which indirectly shows that the Hong Kong film market is indeed shrinking.
However, the evaluation of "Kung Fu" by various people is surprisingly consistent. In addition to innovation in style and special effects, there are also nostalgic factors.
The Tathagata's magic palm used by the male protagonist in the film is a thing that has been available since the Cantonese fragment era. The blind man who plays the piano and Zhao Zhiling who plays the wireless boxing are both familiar kung fu actors in the 1960s and 1970s. These alone can evoke many people's old memories.
Some people say that Kang Jianfei's "Kung Fu" is a successful innovation; some people say that "Kung Fu" is a memorial to traditional kung fu films.
But no matter what, older audiences like it, and younger audiences also pursue it. The good reputation and super high box office finally gave everyone some confidence.
Someone in "Daily Daily" helped Kang Jianfei blow his pussy: Among the Hong Kong filmmakers today, there are a total of four phenomenal people.Bi-Monday has always been known as actors, and their unique actor style impressed the audience.Kang Jianfei is the only director among them.From Kang Jian flying to Hong Kong, this year is the 15th year.In Asia, his name is synonymous with top-notch sales. Even in Europe and the United States, he still has a large number of fans.Only by the director's name can the film be released on a large scale in North American theaters. Among the Asian directors, Kang Jianfei is the only one, and even Akira Kurosawa does not have this treatment.If anyone can turn the tide when Hong Kong films are in a downturn, I think this person must be Kang Jianfei.
The annual Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony is about to be held, but Kang Jianfei does not pay attention to the Golden Star Awards or the explosive Hong Kong stocks. He plans to set off again to the mainland to get the construction of a film and television city in the mainland, and then go to the capital to see women such as Li Zhi and Gong Li.
Last fall, Lan Jieying and Ye Zimie gave birth to two daughters for Kang Jianfei, and Zhao Yazhi will give birth again in a few months.
What Kang Jianfei did not expect was that he had only been in the capital for a week last year. Li Zhi, Fu Yiwei, He Qing and Tao Huimin were all over the stomach. Only Gong Li Deyi survived the woman living in the Prince's Mansion of Guo County.
The strength of this seed machine is getting stronger and stronger!
