687 [Achieving Another Success]
It’s not that Kang Jianfei and "Tang Bohu's Love in Autumn" are too powerful, but that other movies released during the Spring Festival are too poor in quality...Hong Jinbao's "Dragons and Phoenix" may have achieved a good box office ten years ago, but now it is too outdated, and can only attract some loyal kung fu fans, and few young people like to watch it.
The only competitive one is Xu's Film "Family Love" directed by Gao Zhisen and starring the Xu brothers. However, this film was released in the New Year's Eve, with a box office of more than 30 million, perfectly avoiding the schedule of "Tang Bohu's Delicacy".
So, this is a situation this year. In the Spring Festival, when the movie was just released, "The Lost Fragrance of Tang Bohu" was hard to come by, but the movies of other companies have low attendance rates.
After two weeks of screening, "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance" has already been in the box office for more than 20 million yuan, and the box office has only begun to show a significant decline in the week. "The Rich and the Rich" ranked second in the Spring Festival period has just exceeded 10 million yuan.
After the third week of the Spring Festival, the box office momentum of "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance" finally slowed down a lot, but the cumulative box office has sold more than 34 million. At this time, the second-ranked "The Rich and the Rich" ranked 14.18 million, the third-ranked "Dragons and Phoenix" ranked 12.69 million, the fourth-ranked "The Star of Luck" ranked 9.6 million, and the fifth-ranked "Peacock Prince" ranked 9.05 million.
By comparing the box office of all the films released during the Spring Festival, you can see how awesome Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu's Dots of Autumn Fragrance" is, which is equivalent to the total box office of the second, third and four movies.
If the changes in ticket prices and exchange rates are included, Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Points of Autumn Fragrance" is much higher than the original version. In addition to director Kang Jianfei's money-making ability, another important reason is that the schedule is really well-arranged, and there are no good movies to compete with him for box office at the same time.
The Lantern Festival is not yet here. Jiahe's "People" was released in advance, and the box office was just over 10 million, so he barely held a little bit of Jiahe's face. The movies that are usually released have a box office of more than 5 million, which is considered good, but if Jiahe's Spring Festival movies do not exceed 10 million, it would be a big laugh.
Next is Yindu Institution's "The Fortune Star", which has a box office of more than 11 million yuan. Then there are "The Dragons and Phoenixes" and "The Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich and the Rich are 16.5 million yuan, which has passed the box office as a sequel movie.
Only Sammo Hung was very depressed. When he was filming for Jiahe, his box office was getting worse and worse. Now, the box office for Baohe was hitting a new low, and he seemed to have reached the lowest point in his life.
After the Spring Festival movie was released, major theaters began to release new films, and only Oriental theaters continued to screen "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance".
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released for 35 days. Its last two weeks reduced a lot of events. The box office of Hong Kong's local port finally won 41.55 million.
Another movie that exceeded 40 million box office has left major film companies and directors speechless.
As Movie Biweekly commented: "Kang Jianfei's box office record set may only be broken by himself."
Last year, Yi Shu openly wrote an article to allude to Li Jiaxin because of his nephew Ni Zhen. However, this talented woman has a very straightforward temper, and she has a bad relationship with her nephew Ni Zhen. This time the film reviews published in Ming Pao Weekly were quite pertinent and did not continue to blacken Kang Jianfei:
"I have watched every movie of Mr. Kang. "Bao Madan", "Fangfang", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "My Savage Girlfriend" are my favorites. The literary and romantic temperament revealed in the film can intoxicate any woman. Sometimes I even wonder if this director suffers from schizophrenia, because his movies are sometimes made incredibly kitsch, and his mouth is full of shit, peeing and farts are unbearable.
This is exactly what "Tang Bohu's Love in Autumn" is. When I heard the title of this film, I was full of expectations and thought that director Kang Da was going to shoot another love classic. However, when I saw that the male lead was Zhou Xingchi, I no longer expressed hope for this film. It could only be a comedy that made a big box office.
As a commercial comedy, "Tang Bohu Points of Qiuxiang" is quite successful, which can be proved by its horrible box office. What is surprising is Kang Jianfei's ability to subvert classic stories. It can be said that this movie completely refreshed the audience's perception of Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang..."
In addition to Kang Jianfei's name as the director is once again famous, the male protagonist Zhou Xingchi is so popular that he is even more popular than Zhou Runfa, and he has a faint momentum of being the leader of the four kings of Oriental Entertainment Company.
Even Gong Li, who is far away in the mainland, has many companies sent film appointments to invite her to play the heroine of the movie.
The first male supporting role in it, Chen Baixiang became popular, and Zheng Peipei and Yuan Danqiong also made constant film appointments, although they were invited to play supporting roles.
"Brother Xing, can you reveal your new film plan?"
"Brother Xing, I heard that when you were filming "Tang Bohu", you were having a real fake scene with Miss Gong Li. Is it true?"
"Brother Xing..."
Outside Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Zhou Xingchi drove his newly bought sports car and was blocked by reporters outside before he could enter the underground parking lot.
There are stars gathering in the film and television city every day, which naturally becomes the focus of Hong Kong gossip paparazzi. Maybe they can get exclusive or discover private scandals of a certain star.
Now the film and television city no longer allows reporters to enter, and the paparazzi can only squat hard outside the gate and the entrance to the underground parking lot.
"Sorry, let me get it, I'm in a hurry!" Zhou Xingchi shouted and drove the car forward. Although these reporters were annoyed, the attention of Zhou Xingchi still made Zhou Xingchi very proud.
Not to mention anything else, after the movie "Tang Bohu's Fragrance", "Xingzai" finally perfectly evolved into "Xing Ge". In the past, only a few people called him "Xing Ge", but now all reporters call him that, and Zhou Xingchi became a little fluttering when he heard this title.
Just like Zhou Runfa changed from "Fazi" to "Fa Ge", what changed was not only his title, but also his status in the film industry, so is Zhou Xingchi's "Star Ge".
After entering the administrative building, Zhou Xingchi met Wang Jing in the lobby on the first floor. The two have a very good relationship now, and after meeting each other, they started chatting with a smile.
"Brother Xing, you're doing well. You've even changed your hairstyle." Wang Jing patted Zhou Xingchi's shoulder next time and quipped.
Zhou Xingchi laughed: "Don't come to tease me, you'd better call him Xingzai."
Wang Jing came over and laughed in a low voice: "Why do you go to celebrate together tonight?"
Zhou Xingchi coughed, looked at no one around him and said, "If you are photographed by a reporter, it will be miserable."
"Don't worry, there is no reporter in the place I'm looking for." Wang Jing said confidently.
"Let's talk about it." Zhou Xingchi said perfunctorily.
The elevator door finally opened, and the two stepped in together. A few minutes later, they arrived at Kang Jianfei's office, but Li Meifeng told Kang Jianfei that he was in the warehouse of the special effects company.
Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing could only go there again. When they arrived at the warehouse, they found models and diagrams everywhere, renderings. Zhou Xingchi whispered: "It seems that Mr. Kang is going to play big again, and I don't know who is the protagonist this time."
Wang Jing looked at the huge corpse turtle model and muttered: "He won't be making a horror movie this time, right? This monster looks so creepy."
Zhou Xingchi said: "It may be a science fiction film like "Alien"."
Kang Jianfei was discussing something with Stan Winston. The two of them were striking at the drawings. Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing waited until they finished talking.
"What's the matter?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Zhou Xingchi glanced at Wang Jing, and Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiahe asked us to make a movie, and he designated me to cooperate with Xingzai."
"He asked you to take pictures, Oriental Entertainment Company does not prohibit its artists from cooperating with any company." Kang Jianfei squatted down to check the materials for the production of Hydra Cypress.
Zhou Xingchi said: "Mr. Kang, that's it. Jiahe not only asked us to make movies, but also revealed that he wanted to attract us."
Kang Jianfei understood it clearly. Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi were afraid that Kang Jianfei would have misunderstandings, and when Jiahe's people came into contact with them, they were mostly seen by others, so they came to express their innocence.
In fact, with Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi's current fame and talent, they can enjoy any company. The main reason why they stayed at Oriental Entertainment Company is that they are not afraid of harassment from gangs, and the second is the platform and resources provided by Oriental Entertainment Company and DreamWorks.
"It's okay, as long as there is no conflict with the company's shooting schedule, it's okay for anyone to shoot for. DreamWorks is not afraid of competition." Kang Jianfei said in a very casual tone.
In other film companies, no matter whether they are directors or actors, when they reach the level of Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi, the boss will not let others go easily. It is not that they are afraid of people changing jobs, but that their competitors ask them to make a good movie and then kill their own company's movies in the prime time.
Kang Jianfei said that DreamWorks is not afraid of competition. This sentence is easy to say, but it is confident and domineering enough.
Zhou Xingchi was picked up by Kang Jianfei, and he became Star Brother because of his appearance in "Tang Bohu's Flavor". Naturally, he was convinced by Kang Jianfei.
After Kang Jianfei made his statement, Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi finally felt relieved. The two looked at the various things in the warehouse curiously.
Wang Jing couldn't help asking, "Brother Fei, are you preparing for your new film?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and continued to fiddle with a piece of black stuff on the ground.
Wang Jing said again: "Make a science fiction film?"
Kang Jianfei asked, "I want to publish a new book, do you know this?"
"I know, the Oriental Daily has been making a preview of the new book since the Lantern Festival." Wang Jing suddenly reacted, "You mean, what you want to shoot is the story in that new book?"
