Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Nine Hundred And Ninety-One [Avenue Of Stars]

Perhaps because of the smooth and happy family and career, the daughter of the Zou family is much fatter than when she first returned to Hong Kong. She looks a lot like her father Zou Wenhuai, and her face looks like it was carved out of a mold.

This woman doesn’t like to dress up. She is only in her early 30s, but she dresses like a 50-year-old auntie. But she has the aura of a strong woman, especially after working in the decision-making level of Golden Harvest for a few years, this aura has become more obvious.

By the way, the producer of Cheng Long’s best-selling “Hongfan District” is Zou Chongyan himself.

“Mr. Kang, let’s go straight to the topic,” Zou Chongyan’s acting style became more and more powerful. After meeting, he only exchanged a few words and then began to talk about the topic, “I have already done the work of Mr. Shao and Mr. Huo, and they promised to support Hold the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition.”

“What’s the TDC’s attitude?” Kang Jianfei asked.

Zou Chongyan said with a smile: “President Shi just took office last month, and the new officer has three fires. Naturally, he wants to make some political achievements. He is also supportive.”

Kang Jianfei spread his hands: “The president of the Trade Development Council supports it, so what’s the difficulty?”

Zou Chongyan explained: “There are too many large-scale exhibitions organized by the TDC, such as the International Jewellery Fair, the Watch and Clock Fair, the Toy Fair, the Stationery Fair, the Sporting Goods Fair… There are opportunities for large-scale exhibitions every month. The affairs department, the international promotion department, the communication department and the publications department are very busy, and once the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition is confirmed, it will add a huge workload to these departments.”

Kang Jianfei nodded: “Then what?”

“You know, Hong Kong will return next year. The British are busy making money all day long and preparing to leave. Even the Chinese civil servants are lazy. Many department workers are superfluous,” Zou Chongyan sighed, “This kind of creative activity is very It’s hard to get approval, everyone just wants to keep the status quo. To put it a bit harsher, the British are deliberately neglecting government and want to hand over a mess to the Communist Party next year.”

Of course, Kang Jianfei knew about this situation. More than a dozen Hong Kong film industry groups, as well as all well-known Hong Kong stars, jointly signed a petition requesting the British Hong Kong government to set up a film development bureau. This move is not only of great benefit to the development of Hong Kong films, but also to the enhancement of Hong Kong’s economy and influence. However, everyone has been shouting for several years without getting a response from the authorities, and even Kang Jianfei, the richest man, can’t help.

The establishment of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Festival is simpler than the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Development Council, but if several British directors of the HKTDC reject it, it will be difficult to pass.

“Tell me what you think.” Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry and drank the black tea slowly with a smile.

Zou Chongyan said: “We must start from two aspects. First, we must pay for a few British directors and feed them; second, we must lobby more Chinese directors to support them and put pressure on the British. I have already persuaded them. Shao and Huo, Mr. Kang must have more ways than me.”

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, “I’m 100% sure about the Zheng family, and I can also try the Dong family.”

“Very well, Mr. Shao promised to convince Li Chaoren that the Guo family would also sell his face,” Zou Chongyan said with a smile, “If all can be successful, then among the 19 directors of the HKTDC, we will have eight support tickets. Coupled with the support of President Shi, even if the British council members object, this matter should be guaranteed.”

“Let’s split up.” Kang Jianfei put down the teacup.

…

Red Leaf Club.

Kang Jianfei and Zheng Jiachun chatted about mainland real estate. In the laughter, he said his intention: “Brother Zheng, I have something to trouble you.”

When Kang Jianfei explained the general situation, Zheng Jiachun smiled and said, “This is simple, isn’t it just to vote for it? You can just say hello.”

“Brother Zheng, this is a matter of mutual benefit.” Kang Jianfei said.

“How?” Zheng Jiachun said confusedly, their Zheng family doesn’t make movies or TV series.

Kang Jianfei said, “I heard that New World has a seaside garden and a seaside promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui.”

The New World Development Corporation is the Zheng family’s business, Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Kang Jianfei dipped his index finger in the teacup and drew a map on the table with tea: “This is Tsim Sha Tsui, and next to it is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. Once it is decided to launch the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, the exhibition must be arranged at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.”

Zheng Jiachun watched it for a long time, but still couldn’t think of any connection between the two. The film and television exhibition only brought a little traffic to the Binhai Garden and the Binhai Promenade.

“Brother Zheng, have you heard of the Hollywood Walk of Fame?” Kang Jianfei asked again.

Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, “Of course I know, so famous.”

Kang Jianfei swiped his finger across the map: “Rebuild the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Corridor and turn it into Hong Kong’s Avenue of Stars. Build a sculpture of Bruce Lee here, and invite superstars like Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa to stamp their own handprints and leave their stamps on them. Sign it down.”

Zheng Jiachun’s mouth widened, he already understood what Kang Jianfei meant.

With the holding of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition~www.readwn.com~, countless people from inside and outside the industry visit every year. If a Hong Kong Avenue of Stars is built in the Convention and Exhibition Center, it will definitely become one of the landmark buildings in Hong Kong, and the influence and passenger flow will be greatly increased.

Best of all, the idea cost nothing at all. Because that piece of land was originally run by the Zheng family, with a few statues and terrazzo inlays, the cost of the renovation was completely negligible.

After the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars becomes famous, it is estimated that many first- and second-tier stars will try their best to leave their fingerprints here. The Zheng family has benefited again and gained face again, which can be regarded as both fame and fortune.

“Haha, genius-like creativity,” Zheng Jiachun clapped his hands and laughed, “Brother Kang, sometimes I really want to split your head and see how it grows inside.”

The Zheng family supports the holding of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, but it is a matter of lip service. Kang Jianfei is now giving them advice. Not only does he not need to ask the Zheng family for help, but the Zheng family owes Kang Jianfei a favor.

As for the Dong family, Ye Laosan invited the Dong family out for a meal. Even if this matter was settled, the Dong family firmly supported it.

The proposal for the establishment of the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition was quickly passed. But the next thing is more troublesome, that is, dividing the cake.

For example, the competition for the right to host and co-organize the exhibition, such as the competition for the TV broadcast rights of the awards ceremony, these are still the most basic. Refinement to the specific situation is the selection of films and TV series at the exhibition, which companies’ works account for the majority, which companies’ works are recommended first, etc. Countless details need to be sorted out.

After all these are discussed, we will determine the annual holding time of the exhibition, the establishment of awards, the invitation of guests and other trivial matters. Then there is the external publicity and the invitation of many colleagues at home and abroad to participate. These things are estimated to be busy for a whole year.
