757 [Queen's Road East]

Although Kang Jianfei thought it was nonsense, the review that politicized "Trumen's World" was recognized by many people.

How to say it?

All the plots and elements in "The World of Truman" are covered with so-called political metaphors, and they can also be consistent with Kang Jianfei's experience.

After entering the 1990s, Hong Kong people were very enthusiastic and sensitive to cross-strait topics, especially when there was another incident in Beijing last year. Now Hong Kong people have a negative impression of the mainland.

After the review of that film was released, many people thought that Kang Jianfei was using the movie to implicitly. Even the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency sent people to contact him to understand Kang Jianfei's true attitude.

"What a mess!" Kang Jianfei threw the newspaper aside.

Wen Bixia stroked the hair on her forehead, put another newspaper with positive reviews in Kang Jianfei's hand, and smiled and said, "Since it's messy, let's see what it does."

As time goes by, Wen Bixia becomes more round and charming, and her every frown and smile exudes a charming atmosphere. If you are a sexy actress in Hong Kong, Wen Bixia will definitely be ranked in the top five.

Of course, Kang Jianfei would not be angry because of a small film review, but was dissatisfied with some Hong Kong groups lent him to cause trouble. Kang Jianfei and "The World of Truman" have become public opinion tools in the hands of those people.

However, after such hype, "Trumen's World" has become more "deep", and various messy movie interpretations have also emerged, causing people who were not originally planning to watch this movie to enter the cinema.

In another time and space, Luo Dayou Music Factory released the album "Queen Avenue East" in Hong Kong. Because of the issue of Hong Kong's return, it suddenly became the champion of the three major pop music charts in Hong Kong, setting a record for selling non-idiot songs in Hong Kong.

Now "The World of Truman" has been over-interpreted, which has caused major media to discuss the issue of return again. Especially a few days ago, HSBC Bank in Hong Kong ran away and moved its registered address to the UK, which has further aggravated the citizens' enthusiasm for discussion.

You should know that HSBC is one of the issuing banks of the "HKD". It would be strange if it does not cause speculation from citizens.

Some Hong Kong media even said that what Kang Jianfei really wants to express is that after Hong Kong returns, it will become a "Truemon World", full of constraints and repression, and no one can escape the control of the government.

Kang Jianfei is now passive and speechless. He knows that public opinion is difficult to explain. Of course, he will not offend the North because of a movie, but it feels really unpleasant to be a knife. Those groups with ulterior motives may be secretly having fun.

"Come the paper and pen." Kang Jianfei patted Wen Bixia's buttocks.

Wen Bixia hurriedly ran to the study room and came back with a notebook in a breath.

"Queen Avenue East".

Kang Jianfei wrote the title of the song on paper. He was too lazy to hold a press conference to explain "The World of Truman". He simply used a song "Queen Avenue East" to express his attitude.

Although some people say that "Queen Avenue East" satirizes the party, Kang Jianfei doesn't think so. He believes that the song has more positive meanings, at least it is guiding Hong Kong citizens to face their return with a calm mind.

The lyrics of this song are more interpreted. Kang Jianfei is about to let his newspapers interpret them authoritatively the day after he posted the song.

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to draw the five-line score, and the simplified score and lyrics were completed soon.

Wen Bixia was one of the members of the Happy Girls Group and spent time learning to sing and read scores. When she came over and saw it, she was immediately confused by the lyrics.

“Queen Avenue West and Queen Avenue East”

Queen's Avenue East Turns to Queen's Avenue

Why is there no palace on the east side of Queen's Avenue

The people are surging in Queen's Avenue

…”

Wen Bixia thought it was Kang Jianfei who was writing a song for another singer. But after reading a few lines of the lyrics, she couldn't understand what she was writing. She couldn't help asking, "Brother Fei, who are you going to sing this song for?"

"I myself." Kang Jianfei picked up the phone after he said that.

As for the original songwriters Luo Dayou, Jiang Zhiguang and Lin Xi, Kang Jianfei can only say sorry. Anyway, Luo Dayou and Lin Xi have many good songs, and it is not bad for one or two songs. As for Jiang Zhiguang, this is the newcomer king in the Hong Kong music scene this year. Just when he was in glory, he was still famous without "The Queen's Avenue".

However, it was only half a year since Luo Dayou published "In the Queen's Avenue", and Kang Jianfei was not sure if the other party had written the song. To be cautious, Kang Jianfei invited Luo Dayou over with the reason to invite him to record the song.

Luo Dayou was originally fooled by Kang Jianfei and pulled him into Fengxing Records, but he left soon. With the support of Taiwan Rolling Stone Records, Lin Xi founded a music factory in Hong Kong and founded a music factory in Hong Kong.

Kang Jianfei couldn't compete with Rolling Stone Records because Luo Dayou was originally a Rolling Stone and had been intimate with several bosses of Rolling Stone for many years.

Luo Dayou was found by Kang Jianfei in a confused manner that day. He didn't know what was going on, but Kang Jianfei circled around and talked about his views on the return of Hong Kong.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Dayou had not yet created "The Queen's Avenue" at this time, but he had a little intention to write similar songs.

As long as it is not written, it is fine. After all, Luo Dayou is just a composition, and the lyrics are written by Lin Xi, the freak, so there is no possibility of a car crash.

"Dayou, look at how this song is." Kang Jianfei smiled and handed the song score to Luo Dayou.

Luo Dayou was also dizzy when he saw the lyrics, but he did not ask Kang Jianfei, but read it twice from beginning to end, and gradually realized some of the meaning. At least some of the sentences that did not require Kang Jianfei to explain, so he could roughly understand, such as:

"I'm going to this city with a close friend

We have to rely on great comrades to create new ideas

There are units everywhere in buying and selling buildings

But Mong Kok may have to change its name

…”

Luo Dayou went from being confused at first to reading it more and more interesting, and finally started humming the song. After humming, he asked, "Who wrote about the return question?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled, "How is it written?"

"It's very interesting, especially the lyrics use an outsider's tone." Luo Dayou praised.

Kang Jianfei asked Luo Dayou out to test it out, at least he had to find some excuses. His excuse was to sing a song with Luo Dayou.

When he met a good song, Luo Dayou naturally agreed without hesitation. He is now the boss and there is no need to consider too much when singing with Kang Jianfei.

During New Year's Day, Kang Jianfei and Luo Dayou personally participated in the arrangement of "Queen Avenue East", and "Trumen's World" also won a box office victory.

By late January 1991, the box office of "Trumen's World" finally exceeded 35 million, but the momentum was almost used up.

Although Kang Jianfei made some modifications to the details of the film in order to cater to the market and added some Hong Kong-style comedy elements, it was still far less popular than "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

HK$36.61 million!

This is the local box office of "Trumen's World", but it ultimately failed to continue the myth of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", and did not even pass the 40 million hurdle.

But it is enough. There are only a handful of movies that can exceed 35 million in Hong Kong's annual box office.

However, the critics' evaluation of "Trumen's World" is surprisingly consistent, at least making Wong Kar-wai's "The Legend of Ah Fei" more popular, and most likely to win the Film Awards next year.

Speaking of movie awards, news has been heard from Hollywood that after Oriental Film Company’s money lobbying, “Grave Robbers” was successfully nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Hong Kong has always been called Oriental Hollywood by the media, which shows that everyone highly respects and yearns for Hollywood. The Academy Awards are far more valued than Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals.

Kang Jianfei's work was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which immediately sparked public opinion. Unfortunately, "The World of Truman" has been released at this time, otherwise we can take the opportunity to hype it up.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Plan" has increased its publicity offensive, and Fengxing Records also took advantage of the opportunity of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" to nominate the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to announce that Kang Jianfei will join forces with Luo Dayou to release a single.

Kang Jianfei released a single? He also posted it with Luo Dayou?

The reporter who received the news had heard it wrong, and the readers who saw the news were already dazzled.

It's rare!

Everyone knows that Kang Jianfei can write songs, and the famous songs of Joey Wong and Anita Mui are all created by Kang Jianfei, but it is the first time he released a single himself.

Before Kang Jianfei's song was released, it had successfully aroused the interest of many people. (To be continued...)
