471 [Go North Again]

Three months later, Kang Jianfei came to the capital again.

When Kang Jianfei was heading to the hotel in a car arranged by the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, he could find obvious changes along the way. The last time he came was summer, and pedestrians on the street mainly wore vests, shirts and sea soul shirts, while on formal occasions they wore Zhongshan outfits.

It has only been more than three months now, and many people have put on suits on the streets of Beijing, and some of them have even tied their ties.

Even among the reception officials in the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, there are two of them wearing suits, and mainland officials have at least opened up in their dress.

The direct reason for these changes is the further deepening of the reform and opening up policy. This year, companies in mainland China have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Vanke, Lenovo, Haier... one by one is unknown now, but will be born with extremely loud names in many years.

In the past few years, reform and opening up were more reflected among the people as self-employed, while this year there was a moment when the business tide instantly baptized China.

"The development of the motherland is changing with each passing day." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sigh. Since he had decided to be a red capitalist, the name he called the mainland naturally became the motherland.

The person in charge of the team leader picking up the plane was still the last time Chief Zheng. His Zhongshan suit had turned into a suit and said proudly: "We Chinese are not stupider than foreigners. As long as we can work together to carry out reforms, we will definitely achieve achievements that will attract attention from the world. Of course, the development of the motherland is also inseparable from the support of overseas wanderers like Mr. Kang."

Kang Jianfei said righteously: "It is the duty of every Chinese to contribute to the development of the motherland."

If Kang Jianfei becomes a patriotic red capitalist, it will be a great political achievement for Hong Kong Xu Jiasheng and the Chief Zheng in front of him. After all, Kang Jianfei has a TV station and a large film company, which can be used as a rare mouthpiece for the Celestial Empire in Hong Kong.

Section Chief Zheng expressed his gratitude and said, "It is rare that Mr. Kang has this kind of heart. On behalf of all colleagues of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, I would like to thank you patriotic wanderers for your help to the motherland."

The two chatted politely for a few more words. The car suddenly passed by a cinema. A large poster more than three meters high on the exterior wall of the cinema came into view. The main part of the poster actually had a blonde beauty in a bikini printed on her, biting her lower lip and smiling at passers-by.

"This... the government allows movies of this scale?" Kang Jianfei pointed at the poster in surprise. He could not imagine that the capital city in 1984 was actually posted such a "sexy/erotic" poster in public.

Section Chief Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Kang, don't think that our mainland is very feudal and conservative. We are not only reforming and opening up economically, but also in line with advanced countries in our ideology."

In fact, Chief Zheng boasted about this. If the bikini poster was posted during the crackdown last year, at least a large group of people would be arrested for the crime of hooliganism. Even now, many citizens know that it is an indecent custom, constantly writing letters to complain to relevant departments, and also demanding that newspapers disclose condemnation.

Due to the adverse effects on society - many people are disgusted, this bikini poster is probably torn off soon.

Section Chief Zheng introduced many developments and changes to Kang Jianfei along the way. The group did not go to the hotel first, but went directly to the Film Bureau.

In the 1980s, the Film Bureau did not belong to the radio and television management, but to an institution under the Ministry of Culture.

This time, all Kang Jianfei's companies were banned by the Taiwan authorities and decided to completely turn to the Celestial Empire, which has attracted the attention of the central leaders. Therefore, among the people who were greeted at the entrance of the Film Bureau this time, not only the director of the Film Bureau, but also a deputy minister was sent to the Ministry of Culture.

"Welcome to our Hong Kong compatriots to inspect and cooperate!" Deputy Minister Wang said cordially holding Kang Jianfei's hand, and the director of the Film Bureau could only stand behind honestly and smile.

After Deputy Minister Wang and Kang Jianfei were involved in a mess and two or three party-owned media took photos, Director Chen of the Film Bureau shook hands with Kang Jianfei and expressed his welcome.

Following Kang Jianfei, there was also a small truck containing copies of 15 movies from DreamWorks. At this time, workers were carefully moving into the Film Bureau, waiting for review by the Film Bureau for some time to come.

Before leaving, Kang Jianfei thought it would be nice to have two or three of these 15 movies to pass the review, but since he saw the bikini poster on the road, he now feels that seven or eight of them can pass the review.

Today, Kang Jianfei came to the Film Bureau just to go through the motions and visited around, mainly to send the film to be reviewed.

After a quick tour of the movie bureau, Kang Jianfei took his team back to the hotel, including assistants, bodyguards and staff. There were more than a dozen people behind him, which was more like a big boss than before.

The last time I came to Beijing was an exchange visit, so Kang Jianfei could naturally come alone, but this time he was talking about business. According to the Chinese people's urination nature of big scenes, it seems that people will be looked down upon if there are fewer people.

In fact, Kang Jianfei was still thinking about making two foreign devils as followers. This trick was very effective for Chinese people. There were still countless foreign devils making a living 30 years later, and the actors of Jin Kezhai advertising were all international friends.

I went back to the hotel to rest for one night without mentioning it. Anyway, it was not popular in China at this time to ask guests to do great health care, so I could only watch TV and read books in the hotel.

The itinerary of the next morning was to go to the Film Bureau to attend a "Chinese Film Workers Exchange Meeting". It roughly means that Hong Kong and mainland film colleagues sit together to chat, everyone discuss and learn about each other's strengths and promote the future development of Chinese films.

The exchange meeting was held in a conference room of the Film Bureau. After Kang Jianfei arrived, he found only two acquaintances, namely Chen Kaige and Liu Xiaoqing. The former directed "Loess Land", which won the Silver Leopard Award at the Locarno International Film Festival three months ago. He is the most brilliant star director in the mainland and the face of the mainland film director.

Except for the two of them, most of the other participants were officials from the Film Bureau, directors of Beijing Film Studios, professors of Beijing Film Academy, and Kang Jianfei, who did not know him at all.

Deputy Director Zhao of the Film Bureau accompanied Kang Jianfei to the conference room and solemnly introduced a man with a round look: "Mr. Kang, this is Director Wang Yangwang of Beijing Film Studio."

Why is this Director Wang so round? Because his head is round, his mouth is round, his nose is round, his belly is round, and his glasses and the pipe he is holding is round.

Kang Jianfei only took a look and remembered the appearance of this "Director of the Round".

"Hello, Director Wang, I have long admired Daming!" Kang Jianfei shook hands with the other party politely.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "I have long admired Mr. Kang's name!"

Although Kang Jianfei had been a temporary actor at Beijing Film Academy for several years before traveling through time, he didn't know much about Wang Yang. If Han Sanye was a well-deserved boss in the mainland film industry 30 years later, then Wang Yang's role was similar at this time.

This man has been the director of Beijing Film Studio for 36 years. Beijing Film Studio has been in his hands from scratch, and now it has the most neat director, photography, artist, and cast, becoming the leading film factory in the mainland. Liu Xiaoqing was trained by Wang Yang. The directors of many local film factories are also Wang Yang's disciples.

Zeng Bolin still sat down in advance and whispered in Kang Jianfei's ear: "Boss, everyone here wants to sell Wang Yang's face. He is very generous in the mainland."

Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded to show that he knew, and then when he talked to Wang Yang, he became much warmer without realizing it.

Deputy Director Zhao sat in the chairperson and spoke first: "Today, we are very happy that mainland and Hong Kong film workers can gather together to discuss the creation and development of Chinese films. Film is an art, a tool for discovering beauty, creating beauty, and showing beauty. It is... Today's film workers exchange meeting, our purpose is to discover each other's shortcomings and learn from each other's strengths. It is undeniable that due to the ten years of movement, the development of films in the mainland has stagnated, and compared with our Hong Kong compatriots, we are both behind in film technology and performance methods. But we are not useless. For example, the young director Chen Kaige's "Loess Land", just won the international award... Before the exchange meeting begins, let's first appreciate "Bao Madan" directed by Kang Jianfei and "Loess Land" directed by Chen Kaige, and exchange and discuss with these two good movies..."

Deputy Director Zhang said it for 20 minutes before it ended. Then the doors and windows of the conference room were covered with black cloth. A white cloth hung in front of him as a screen, and a projector was set up behind him and the screening of "Dama Dan" began.

Most of the people present had never watched Kang Jianfei's movies, mainly because they had no channels to watch, even Brother Chen Kai was the same.

The opening scene was a ridiculous warlord, who wanted to marry Zhong Chuhong, who was performing opera, as his concubine, and then a series of funny scenes made the conference room chuckle from time to time.

The officials of the Film Bureau watched the most relaxed viewing. They just needed to be appreciated by the audience and laughed out loud from time to time.

However, mainland filmmakers like Wang Yang and Chen Kaige looked heavy at the end. Many jokes smiled bitterly because they found that the difference between their films and this movie "The Dao Ma Dan".

Not to mention the plot of the movie, only the camera, soundtrack, martial arts action... and even the quality of the movie, "The Sword and Ma Dan" almost completely crushes today's domestic movies.

Due to time issues, after the screening of "Dao Madan", everyone will start meetings and discussions, while the screening and discussions of "Loess Land" will be held until the afternoon.

When the ending subtitles of "The Dao Ma Dan" rose on the screen, thunderous applause rang out in the conference room.
Chapter completed!
