Nowadays, there are only two film events that Hong Kong filmmakers often participate in, one is the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan and the other is the Asian Film Festival. There is also a Hong Kong International Film Festival that has been held for several sessions, but few people take it seriously.

Because of the dispute between Japan and Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Asian Film Festival changed from a competitive event to an exhibition film festival several years ago. Now no one takes the so-called Asian actors and Asian actresses seriously.

So at this time, whether it is the boss of a film company, director or actor, the most valued by the Taiwanese Golden Horse Awards.

In the golden autumn of October, the annual Taiwanese Film Golden Horse Awards came again. When the list of nominations for major awards came out, Taiwanese media was in an uproar.

"Hitting the Wrong Car" by Oriental DreamWorks won 11 nominations for Best Recording, Best Movie Interlude, Best Original Movie Music, Best Costume Design, Best Art Design, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Drama, and Best Director.

"The Wrong Car" was released in Taiwan for almost half a year before it was released, and it has been unanimously recognized by ordinary audiences to film critics. It is understandable that 11 nominations were obtained.

The problem is that it is more than that. "The Royal Sister" released in Taiwan during the summer season took over "Hit the Wrong Car" to sweep the box office in Taiwan, winning more than NT$36 million in box office revenue in one fell swoop. On the nomination list announced by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee, "The Royal Sister" also won two nominations for the Best Editor and Best Supporting Actor. The nomination for this Best Supporting Actor is Kang Jianfei...

"The Dao Ma Dan", which has not been released in Hong Kong, has also won 7 nominations for Best Original Movie Music, Best Costume Design, Best Art Design, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Drama.

In other words, this year, the three films of Oriental DreamWorks actually won 21 Golden Horse Awards nominations.

This situation has been many times before, but the one who won this honor was Taiwan's China Film Company, and the one who received a large number of nominations for several movies this time was a Hong Kong company.

The Liberty Daily (the predecessor of Taiwan’s Liberty Times) claimed: “…Is the Golden Horse Award a movie event held in Hong Kong or a movie event held in Taiwan? The Golden Horse Award organizing committee awarded all the awards to Hong Kong people. It’s better to move the Golden Horse Award to Hong Kong to hold it.”

The Liberty Daily was only renamed and founded last year. The founder was Lin Rongsan, the big boss of the Sanchong Gang, who specifically used sensational reports and sharp comments to attract attention. This time, he touched the tiger's beard because the Golden Horse Award was nominally sponsored by the News Bureau. The comments of the Liberty Daily were simply slapped in the face of the News Bureau. The Liberty Daily was warned to rectify the report the day after the report came out.

China Times commented: "Taiwanese films are now entering two extremes. One extreme is that the film is extremely vulgar, commercialization, and roughness creates wind; the other extreme is that directors only value film art and do not consider the box office market at all. In the long run, commercial films in Taiwan will be eliminated due to the rough quality, while art films will fall into a dilemma due to lack of funds. At this time, a Hong Kong film company actually received 21 nominations, both in box office and reputation are extremely good. Taiwanese film workers should be alert..."

The Golden Horse Awards have not yet begun. The Taiwanese media have started arguing first. The center of the discussion is whether the Golden Horse Awards should be set, such as stipulating how many nominations the same film company can only get at most.

It was in this situation that Kang Jianfei brought Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin to Taipei in advance and promoted "Baoma Dan" with Lin Qingxia.

Taiwanese audiences have long seen the excellence of "The Wrong Car" and "The Royal Sister". However, "The Dao Ma Dan" has not been released in Taiwan yet. Many fans are looking forward to this movie starring Lin Qingxia and nominated for several Golden Horse Awards. With the wind of the Golden Horse Awards, if Kang Jianfei can take the opportunity to promote it, the box office after the release will definitely be much higher.

Zhong Chuhong has just finished filming "The Story of Hu Yue" and is about to star in "The Tour of the City" with Zhou Runfa. This time, she took a few days to go to Taipei to promote and attend the award ceremony. As for Guan Zhilin, she hurried back from the United States. Her move to match her parents to get back together seemed to have no effect. Her father Guan Shan came back earlier than her.

To do publicity, we naturally need to find a program with great influence. Nowadays, the TV program with the highest ratings in Taiwan is China Television's "Variety Show 100". China Television has long been reforming the separation of production and broadcasting of TV stations. Although "Variety Show 100" is broadcast on China Television, the production company is Hanxin Film and Television Production Company, and the TV station is only responsible for reviewing programs.

Kang Jianfei asked Yu Kanping to contact Huang Shaoyan, the producer of "Variety Show 100". When the other party heard that Lin Qingxia was going to be on the show, he immediately agreed. Not only did he not have any publicity fees, but he could reimburse Kang Jianfei and others for air tickets.

This is something that everyone needs and hits off. Kang Jianfei wants to use "Variety Show 100" to promote it, while Huang Shaoyan wants to use Lin Qingxia's fame to increase the ratings of the show.

In the recording studio of "Variety Show 100", Zhang Xiaoyan smiled at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, everyone, I am Zhang Xiaoyan, welcome to "Variety Show 100"... Next is the 'Artist Performance' session. Today, our program team invited four big names, four big stars who have never appeared on our program. Please invite - Mr. Kang Jianfei, Ms. Zhong Chuhong, Ms. Guan Zhilin, and our beautiful girl Lin Qingxia on the stage!"

Kang Jianfei and three beauties walked into the studio from the backstage. The stage of the variety show 100 has a size of ten square meters, and there were very few audiences on the scene. About twenty or thirty people sat around the stage.

However, compared with other variety shows, this studio is already very luxurious.

When Kang Jianfei, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin came on stage, the reactions on the scene were not enthusiastic. When Lin Qingxia appeared, the audience stood up and shouted wildly.

Zhang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Welcome to everyone, let me introduce myself."

Kang Jianfei said to the microphone: "Harrow, everyone in Taiwan. I am Kang Jianfei, the director of "Dao Madan". The movie "Dao Madan" will be released in Taiwan on November 1st. I hope everyone can support it then."

Zhang Xiaoyan said, "Hey, Mr. Kang is not just the director of "Dao Madan", he is also the boss of Oriental DreamWorks. The "Wrong Car" we watched this year and "The Royal Sister" are all movies invested by Boss Kang."

Lin Qingxia also smiled at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I am Lin Qingxia..."

Halfway through speaking, Kang Jianfei joked: "Qingxia, you don't need to introduce yourself, I guess no one in Taiwan doesn't know you."

Zhang Xiaoyan exclaimed strangely: "Oh, the two seem to be very close to each other. Was the rumor that last year true?"

Seeing that Guan Zhilin's face was a little unhappy, Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "Qingxia and I are good friends."

Before Zhang Xiaoyan could speak, Guan Zhilin said in Cantonese: "Hello everyone, I am Guan Zhilin. She plays the role of Xianghong in "The Legend of Dao Madan". I hope everyone can enjoy my performance."

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhong Chuhong. I play Bai Niu in "The Legend of Dao Ma Dan"..." Zhong Chuhong was in a bad state. He worked overtime yesterday to finish the filming. After arriving in Taipei, he came to record the show without sleeping well.

"Variety Show 100" is not an interview program. The unit that Kang Jianfei and his friends are participating in now requires artists to perform.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Xiaoyan said: "Mr. Kang, "The Original Scenery of Hometown" has sold more than 100,000 copies in Taiwan. I heard that you completed this record from composition to performance?"

Kang Jianfei said modestly: "That's right."

Zhang Xiaoyan said: "I bought that record too. I really want to listen to your live performance."

This was all arranged in advance by the program team. Kang Jianfei took out the pottery and started playing it quickly.

After playing a song, Zhang Xiaoyan arranged for Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong to perform. Lin Qingxia drew an identity as a drunkard, Guan Zhilin drew a policeman, and Zhong Chuhong's identity as Lin Qingxia's hawker.

Zhong Chuhong got a hat worn by an old woman from somewhere, squatted on the stage and shouted in broken Mandarin: "Apple, fragrant and crispy apple..."

"Hahaha……"

The audience laughed so hard that they were tilted back and forth, and Zhang Xiaoyan was also stunned. She didn't expect that Zhong Chuhong's Mandarin could be so weird. The pronunciation of the word "apple" sounds like "butt".

"Hait..." Lin Qingxia's drunkard played by her role came over tiltedly, and she started vomiting as soon as she arrived at Zhong Chuhong's "stall".

Soon the two started arguing, and then the policeman played by Guan Zhilin also joined in.

This is an impromptu short drama, without any scripts or lines, but Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong's poor Mandarin are full of jokes, not to mention that Lin Qingxia has self-destructed her image as a drunkard.

After a performance, the studio was filled with laughter.

At the end of the show, the movie was talked about, and finally the recording was completed. The audience members came over to find Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia to sign. As for Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, they were directly ignored by the audience.

After getting rid of the audience, Kang Jianfei took the three girls out of the studio. As soon as he walked out of the Zhongshi Building, he suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise: "Qingxia, you are on the TV station too!"

Kang Jianfei looked at it when he looked at it, but it was Qin Han wearing a straight suit. He couldn't help but ask, "He is still pestering you?"

Lin Qingxia also looked helpless and said, "I met twice when filming "Chinese Female Soldiers" some time ago."

Qin Han ran over and pretended not to see Kang Jianfei, and said to Lin Qingxia: "Qingxia, let's go to Sister Chen's house for dinner later. She is going to start a new drama."

"Sorry, I'm not available!" Lin Qingxia was afraid that Kang Jianfei would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to hold Kang Jianfei and walked past Qin Han.

Qin Han looked frustrated when he saw this, Guan Zhilin pouted and got angry. Zhong Chuhong followed behind indifferently. Outside the Zhongshi Building, several reporters who were originally coming to film Qin Han, quickly recorded this scene with film.
Chapter completed!
