Chapter 834: Public appearance

April 6, Hong Kong.
At the airport exit, Lao Song sat in the car and read the morning newspaper. In addition to the daily celebrity gossip, there are a few more mainland news:
"The mainland version of "Tianlong Ba Bu" ended its first round of hits, with the highest score of 21.74% and an average of 18.31%, setting a record since CCTV's ratings have been counted. It also won a single episode of 2.74 million advertising prices.
Taiwan’s China Television has already purchased the copyright, and it has launched two episodes a few days ago, and its ratings of 3.58% are equally gratifying. China Television stated that it is confident of winning the top ratings at 8 o'clock.
The drama is hot in both places, and it has won praise from Mr. Jin Yong himself. Hong Kong TV also has the intention to introduce..."
Lao Song tut was amazed, with a single episode of 2.74 million and more than 100 million in 40 episodes.
This is the size! The longer he stayed in Hong Kong, the more he understood the concept of volume.
There are others:
"According to mainland sources, World Film and Television has revealed that it is about to launch a four-place co-production commercial giant. Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, and a number of Japanese and Korean stars have been confirmed, directed by Tsui Hark, with an investment of more than 200 million yuan.
The film’s confidentiality measures are in place, and only one part has been revealed so far, which makes people curious..."
whispering sound!
Lao Song expressed his disdain: You think you are the son of the plane, but in fact you are just the precursor of the king. I am the one who concentrates on...
"Boss, Mr. Xu is out!" the driver suddenly said.
"Where is it?"
He hurriedly got out of the car and saw someone walking out, a tall, handsome, and mature 36-year-old man who was exactly Xu Fei.
Teacher Xu gave a hug and smiled: "It's going to be annoying again, this time I have to stay for a while."
"That happens to be with Director Xu and the others, anyway, it will start at the end of the month."
When the two of them got in the car, Old Song said, "Your recent limelight has blown to Xiangjiang. All the paparazzi in Hong Kong are staring at the film. The reporter asked me. I said wait a minute. It will naturally be announced. Announced."
"Hong Kong has a lot of cooperation with Japan, right, so intense?"
"The market is sluggish, Zhou Xingchi couldn't ask for 30 million, let alone 200 million..."
"The title is called!"
"Oh, so-called 200 million big production."
"Then they have to calm down, there is another 200 million behind."
"More?" Old Song was shocked.
"I'm here this time, six things.
First, I would like to meet some film scholars and media professionals from Hong Kong and Taiwan to talk about the primary selection of the new awards.
Second, this. "
Xu Fei found a post, and Lao Song glanced at it. It was an invitation letter for the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Film Awards.
"Ok?"
He paused inexplicably, connected the first two, vaguely guessed the meaning: "Are you going to show up in public now?"
"Sooner or later, it's the best at this stage."
Xu Fei did not elaborate, saying: "Third, I will study the following work with you. Fourth, prepare for Zhang Yimou's 200 million blockbuster. Fifth, stop by to Japan."
"..."
Lao Song waited, waited for a long time, there was no movement, and asked, "Where is that left?"
Teacher Xu looked subtle, got closer, and whispered quietly: "Hey, you know Wang is really fake?"
…………
Hong Kong Golden Statue and Taiwan Golden Horse have supporting film festivals, which are usually held before the awards ceremony.
The Hong Kong International Film Festival is a non-competitive film festival, focusing on screenings, premieres, exchanges, and encouraging newcomers. Every year, a group of rookie directors come over, or the premiere of a literary film, it is a chance for publicity anyway.
Xu Fei received a double invitation from the Film Festival and the Academy Awards.
The former attended a symposium on "The Positioning of Chinese Films in the 21st Century", and the latter was the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
He simply cleaned up at the hotel and went to the venue. Just opening today, there are two opening films: Yang Fan's "A Dream in the Garden" and Jean Jacques Benax's "Death Transfer".
This kind of film exhibition is purely an artistic exchange and has no commercial nature.
When he arrived, "A Dream in the Garden" was over, and the interview was in progress. But it doesn't matter, I have seen it many times in my previous life.
Probably tell the story of a cousin whose wife fell in love with her husband, but the cousin liked men, and the man finally ran away. Fully reveals the tragic truth of "Ji Ai's daughter".
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Song!"
Tsui Hark, who was sitting in the front row, waved, gave them a place, and whispered: "Why are you here too?"
"I received an invitation, just after getting off the plane."
"Then you should be a discussion meeting, you can rest today."
"Look at Pharaoh."
Tsui Hark's gaze turned to the stage, with the young Wu Yanzu in the center, Wang Zuxian and Miyazawa Rie from left to right.
The reporter went crazy, and 90% focused on Lao Wang. After filming "Green Snake" in 1993, she said goodbye to the film industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan. "A Dream in the Garden" is the first comeback work after 8 years.
In fact, there is also a "Evil East and West Poison", all of which have been cut off by the King of Sunglasses.
"..."
Xu Fei also looked at the stage. Lao Wang was not very old, only 34 years old, but he was already showing fatigue. In another two years, she finished filming the last play "Beautiful Shanghai" and retired completely.
On the other hand, Rie Miyazawa is still at the peak of 28 years old, beautiful and moving.
He had a nostalgic look. Tsui Hark had misunderstood him and said with a smile: "She hasn't returned to Hong Kong for a long time. I came to join in today, and I will introduce you to you later.
"No need to know."
Xu Fei waved his hand and said, "Some people get closer, and it's boring."
"Well, Mr. Xu has a high realm."
Old Monster Xu nodded, Wang Zuxian! Back then and Lin Jianyue were also very upset...
After the interview, they left the scene one after another.
Lao Wang jumped down with a false height of 172cm and gave Old Monster Xu a hug: "Thank you for coming."
"I've been waiting for you, are you in the mood to come out to film?"
"I……"
She paused and said, "Actually, I am ready to stop the shadow."
Tsui Hark was also taken aback, and said seriously: "Unless you completely lose interest in the movie, don't say that. If you want to make a movie, tell me that there are some characters that others can't play."
"I will think about it."
Lao Wang wiped himself away.
Tsui Hark watched her leave, and suddenly said, "Is there any kind of..."
"The feeling of the death of the golden age?" Xu Fei continued.
"Oh, that's it. Even if I want to make a martial arts movie, I can't find an actor."
Old Monster Xu sighed, and thought again, or ask her to appear in this film?
The three words Wang Zuxian are also popular in Japan and South Korea.
…………
Xu Fei took a rest and went to the film festival on the 7th.
This year is divided into several units, such as Fan Carnival, Window of the World, Asian Vision, Central and South American Scenery Painting and so on. Actually they are all screenings.
There is no gold content and competitiveness, the value is publicity, and filmmakers can also pick some independent films.
So many Asian filmmakers came, Xu Fei met two Korean directors who were well-known to later generations, and brought their works to the exhibition: Kim Ki-duk from "Drifting Desire Room" and Bong Joon-ho from "The Kidnapping of the Dog at the Door".
Bong Joonho, a character carrying the flag of South Korea, "Memories of Murder", "Han River Monster", "Snow Country Train" and "Parasite".
"The Kidnapping of a Dog at the Door" is his debut.
After that was the "Position of Chinese Films in the 21st Century" symposium, I accidentally ran into Chen Guofu, who participated as a representative of the Columbia company in Asia.
There are also some industry insiders on Hong Kong Island, including Shu Qi, the founder of "Film Biweekly".
This Shu Qi is not Bi Shu Qi, a well-known film scholar in Hong Kong, and he initiated the Academy Awards.
