On the tenth day of the serialization of "The Ethereal Journey", when the second paragraph of the novel came, the sales of "Oriental Ri" also increased significantly, breaking through xing to reach 166,000 copies, and Hong Kong society also began to focus on the novel.
From the perspective of writing, "The Journey of Ethereal" is far inferior to Jin Yong's novels, and it cannot reach the artistic connotation of Gu Long. However, the works serialized in newspapers, like later online novels, are a kind of entertainment, but they are just printed on paper carriers. Good and bad works are mixed, and most of them only look at the plot or not, without asking about the quality of the collection.
The martial arts novels read later in life were modified and proofread by countless people, not to mention the lines, even the plots were greatly deleted and modified. For example, in the original version of "Shè Diao" and "Shen Diao", the one who designed to poison Yang Kang was Qin Nanqin, who gave birth to the next generation of hero Yang Guo, was also this strange woman. Unfortunately, after the modifications by Jin Yongren, Qin Nanqin and Mu Nianci were combined into one. While many book fans were sorry, the plot of the novel also made the plot more compact.
Gu Long often sighed that his novels had too many fallacies and had no time to revise them repeatedly like Jin Yong. In fact, Gu Long's worries were redundant, so after his death, major publishing houses naturally helped him revise them.
As for Ni Fu's novels, there is nothing to say. At most, Ni Fu offers more than ten manuscripts a day. Do you think that at such a rapid pace, how good a novel can he write?
Speaking of Ni Fu's handwriting is comparable to Kang Jianfei, it is not that his handwriting is too ugly, but that it is that it is so sloppy that it cannot be seen directly in order to pursue speed. There are no more than ten people in Hong Kong who can read Ni Fu's manuscripts easily. The salary of the old typewriters who are familiar with Ni Fu's handwriting is more than half of the salary than ordinary typewriters.
After "The Legend of Qin" came out, those who criticized Kang Jianfei were all saying that the novel had too much content, and none of them said that Kang Jianfei's pen was too bad.
"The Journey of Ethereal" has been serialized for nearly two weeks. Readers and some novel critics were surprised to find that the heroine had not appeared in this novel yet. Many people say that because the content of "The Love Search" has been criticized too much, Kang Jianfei has turned his back this time.
First of all, I publicly praised my colleagues in "The Ethereal Journey", which is Huang Ying, who is famous for writing for Gu Long. Like "Mr. Zombie" filmed by Kang Jianfei, it should be a novel written by Huang Ying, but unfortunately, Kang Jianfei shamelessly shot it out first.
Perhaps it is because of "Mr. Zombie". Huang Ying, who loves ghosts and wonders, has a very good impression of Kang Jianfei. After the popularity of "The Ethereal Journey", he was the first to write in the column: "The Ethereal Journey" can overwhelm other novels that are serialized in a short period of time, relying on novel creativity... Combining modern elements and cosmic theory in Xianxia novels, the plot design is fascinating. Bringing readers into a brand new world, it makes people unbearable to read...
The greatest pleasure in reading Mr. Kang Jianfei's novel is that he can constantly bring you new surprises and make you never guess the following plot. Only from the creative point of view, I can't find a second person in Hong Kong who can compare with Mr. Kang Jianfei, the same is true for "The Journey of Qin". This can be seen from the movies he directed. He never picks up people and shoots old things. Every film can always give the audience something new..."
As a novelist, Ni Fu usually stays at home to write novels or finds friends to drink. He rarely shows up in public. Some well-known newspapers generally do not use "The Journey of Empty" to make things difficult for him because they want to ask Ni Fu for manuscripts.
Until one day when attending a TV program, Lishi's host casually said the name of "The Ethereal Journey" and asked Ni Fu to comment.
Ni Fu's face became ugly in an instant. Then he quickly covered up his emotions and said dryly: ""The Journey of Ethereal" is good. But hehe, it's not worth the royalty of 500 words, 100 words..."
As soon as these words were said, there were newspaper reports on the second day after the program was broadcast.
Some newspapers said that Ni Fu was jealous of Kang Jianfei's manuscript pay for too high; some newspapers said that Ni Fu was provoking Kang Jianfei from the air; and some newspapers said that Ni Fu was criticizing "The Journey of Ethereal" in disguise for being too bad.
For a time, Ni Fu was pushed to the forefront, and there were some people who attacked and scolded him, and there were also many who supported Ni Fu's Hei Kang Jianfei.
Jin Yong read the newspaper and sighed at Ni Fu: "Why do you say such things on the TV station?"
"I can't speak up if I don't vomit, I'll say it out loud." Ni Fu also regretted it. He was happy when recording the show, but there were too many troubles afterwards, which made him uneasy.
From then on, after media reporters met Ni Fu, they always asked a few questions about Kang Jianfei, which gave Ni Fu a headache.
The release of "The Royal Sister" is less than a week away from the serialization of "The Ethereal Journey". The seemingly unrelated novels and movies have a complementary flavor in publicity.
After hearing that "The Legend of the Royal Sister" has been written by Kang Jianfei, many of them will read it with curiosity. While waiting for the novel serialization, some readers of "The Legend of the Royal Sister" will also watch "The Legend of the Royal Sister" specifically for the novel authors.
"The Senior Sister of the Royal" was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and "The Journey of the Ethereal" was also sold in Hong Kong. At this time, "The Wrong Car" was the first to be released in Southeast Asia, and "Mr. Zombie" also began to be released in South Korea.
Among them, "Mr. Zombie" was released in South Korea by Princess Kim, which was agreed to be announced by Princess Kim, and it was agreed a month ago. Kang Jianfei didn't have the nerve to kick Princess Kim aside.
The first release of "Mr. Zombie" reached more than 90,000 viewers. Three days after its release, the number of viewers soared to 340,000, sweeping the Korean box office.
(The box office statistics in South Korea are very strange, and only the number of viewers is counted.
In addition, in the early 1980s, due to the restriction order of South Korea, the total number of Hong Kong and Taiwan films released in South Korea every year would not exceed 15.
Due to the reason for the garrison, American movies are mostly released in South Korea every year, mostly for US military and middle- and high-income families in South Korea. Ordinary Korean audiences prefer to watch Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
As for European and Indian movies, hell, who did this thing be screened in Korea? Before 1985, Koreans had never seen European and Indian movies.)
In the past 1980, the most popular movie in South Korea was Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Takes Horse", with a total of nearly 1 million viewers (Seoul had 430,000, and the number of viewers in Korea was more than twice that of the capital).
As soon as he arrived in 1981, "Mr. Zombie" set off a box office storm in South Korea. Even children's games imitate the suffocating plot in "Mr. Zombie", which shows its popularity.
In just half a month, the number of viewers of "Mr. Zombie" in South Korea reached 1.46 million, far exceeding Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Takes Away". Of course, "Junior Brother Takes Away" is like Kang Jianfei's "Happy Ghost", which is also affected by the turmoil in South Korea by the social and political situation, because Cheng Long's previous "Drunk Fist" and "Snake-shaped Hands" were nearly 2 million.
The political situation in South Korea has gradually stabilized this year. At this time, the ticket price of South Korean movies is around US$08. The cumulative box office of "Mr. Zombie" in South Korea has reached US$1.16 million in half a month, equivalent to HK$9.34 million.
However, I didn't make much money after that, because most of these box offices were contributed by Seoul, the capital of South Korea. At this time, the total box office in South Korea was only about twice that of Seoul, which means that the box office revenue in other parts of South Korea was only slightly higher than that in the capital, and the regional development was extremely abnormal.
However, in another ten or twenty years, with the development of South Korea's local economy, the national box office will grow to more than five times the capital's box office.
"Mr. Zombie" has been screened in Seoul and surrounding areas for half a month, and will be held in other small cities soon. The final box office is estimated to be no more than HK$13 million.
In Southeast Asia, the box office of Taiwanese films in the Nanyang region has always been very good, and the audience listens to Mandarin dialogues directly, so there is no need to re-dubbing. In the past two years, Taiwanese films have either made shoddy money or made art movies that are incomprehensible. Nanyang film manufacturers have greatly reduced the purchase of Taiwanese films.
The film market that has been cultivated by Taiwanese films for more than ten years is still there, and there are many Nanyang audiences who like to watch Taiwanese movies. "Going the Wrong Car" is sold in Hong Kong and has to be accompanied by Cantonese dialogues, so after it was released in Taiwan, it was directly screened in various countries in Southeast Asia.
The Nanyang Academy Merchants have long become jing. As soon as "The Wrong Car" was sold, they frantically re-explore the scandal between Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia. They neither promote the director nor the star. They point to Kang Jianfei, an investor and screenwriter, and make many viewers think that the movie was filmed by Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, and they were fooled into the theater.
If this is a bad movie, the audience will probably curse after watching it.
But this is a good movie, just like in a parallel space. As soon as "Hatching the Wrong Car" was released in Nanyang, it was a sound of praise, both applauding and popular.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fengxing Records also bought the original soundtrack of "Hit the Wrong Car". Before the movie was painted, the record had already been sold in the Nanyang area. Su Rui also began to travel back and forth in various countries in Nanyang and began a two-month tour.
Later, some people said that East Asia in 1981 belonged to Kang Jianfei. Starting from New Year's Day that year, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, ri, Southeast Asia, and Kang Jianfei's works all started a crazy cháo in the local area. It was like an atomic bomb was fired in East Asia, and Kang Jianfei's name suddenly spread throughout the film circles of various countries.
Cheng Long used to guarantee the box office. The theater merchants and publishers from all over the world paid for the films starring Cheng Long without saying a word. But since 1981, as long as these film merchants saw Kang Jianfei's name on it, whether they were screenwriters or directors, they would cause a film-snatching trend.
