With several beautiful wives at home, Kang Jianfei had no intention of running out. During the Spring Festival, except for occasionally going out to meet Chung Chuhong, Zhou Huimin and other women, Kang Jianfei stayed at No. 4 Repulse Bay to be a "virtuous husband and kind father".
Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi were combined by him, trying various shameful poses. Sometimes, pregnant Ye Zipei also joined in carefully.
Anyway, everyone has "sincerely met" countless times, and several women have lost their shame in front of each other. In the end, Kang Jianfei was pulled into bed at the same time in the sky and in a blushing manner, he just accompanied him with shameless absurdity.
Xinhua News Agency now controls more than a dozen media outlets. Although left-wing newspapers such as Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao, Xinbao, and Wenhui Po do not belong to Xinhua News Agency in name, they are directly led by the Hong Kong branch at this time.
Ye Zishan's article interview with Kang Jianfei was first published in Wenhui Daily, which quickly attracted the attention of film industry insiders.
Especially now that "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is being screened, Kang Jianfei, as the director of the film and the boss of the largest entertainment group in Hong Kong, what he said is enough to attract everyone's attention.
In his exclusive interview, Kang Jianfei poured cold water on the prosperous Hong Kong films, pointing out that the Hong Kong film industry system is imperfect and the hidden dangers of the overall quality of Hong Kong films. The problem of imperfect industrial system in the first place cannot be solved by someone, and this requires the joint efforts of the industry, but the latter one resonates with many people.
In the past, because theater companies monopolized the market, you might not be able to release the movie after making it, so directors attach great importance to the quality of the movie. From the 1970s to the early and mid-1980s, the production cycle of Hong Kong films was basically between 3 months and half a year. (Shaw Brothers movies are an exception, because Shaw Brothers films do not have to worry about local and overseas distribution. Therefore, the production cycle is relatively short)
But it has been different now. First of all, the increase in theater companies has led to theaters being unable to monopolize the box office market. Any movie that can pass the quality has the opportunity to be released. Even if it cannot be screened in regular theaters, it can still make money through underground theaters, videotapes and overseas film manufacturers. Anyway, Hong Kong films are not worried about not being sold when they are shot.
Since you can make money by making any bad movie, investors will naturally choose to make quick movies to accelerate capital recovery, and the director is happy to shoot more movies in a short period of time to get paid and dividends. In this way, the average production cycle of Hong Kong films has been shortened by two months - these two months include the time for preliminary preparation and post-production.
Kang Jianfei was able to make a good movie in half a month because he already had all the shots of the films in his mind. Those directors did not have Kang Jianfei's "ability". In order to shorten the production cycle, the directors could only prepare for the storyboard. Moreover, they had to just live by the actors when they were not performing properly. The things they shot could only be described as terrible.
Fortunately, the moral integrity of the well-known directors has not yet been lost, and even Wang Jing, the fast gunman, still maintains the final bottom line. The most messy are those directors with a little reputation. The movies they make are occasionally released during the off-season, and most of the time they can only go through the channels of underground theaters and videotapes. Because of the cheap price, they are bought in batches by small film dealers in Southeast Asia. Then they are screened in various countries in Southeast Asia under the name of Hong Kong films, which seriously affects the reputation of Hong Kong films in the local area.
This phenomenon has caused concern and dissatisfaction among many industry insiders. Many people even advocated reducing theaters, believing that too many theaters have caused the flood of junk movies. Kang Jianfei raised this question in his exclusive interview, which immediately resonated with a large number of colleagues and expressed his own opinions in the media.
Before the Spring Festival has passed, well-known producers and directors have already started arguing on TV and newspapers.
At the same time, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was released in Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and other places, and the box office began to rise all the way. Due to the competition for Hollywood blockbusters in Japan, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" failed to stand for the Spring Festival screening and could only wait for the next good schedule.
There is no doubt that "The Tomb Raiders Chronicles" quickly became popular locally, with an influence no less than "Terminator 2". These areas belong to the Confucian cultural circle, so there are many Chinese people. For example, South Korea even has historical books in Chinese, so there is no cultural barrier when accepting "The Tomb Raiders Chronicles".
With the strong position of Hong Kong films in Nanyang, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was even more sensational than "Terminator 2".
Thailand's largest circulation newspaper, called "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" an "unparalleled adventure movie". Paddy Weiji, the father of Thai action films who is nearly 60 years old (who married his 38-year-old wife at the age of 83), immediately announced that he was preparing an adventure movie about Western colonists smuggling Buddha heads in Thailand and Thai folk righteous men protecting Buddha heads.
In an interview, Paddy Weiji said: "The Tomb Raiders Chronicles directed by Hong Kong Kanfei has given me a great inspiration. Why can't there be a Thai "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raiders Chronicles"? We Thailand has a long history and cultural legend, and Muay Thai that does not belong to Chinese Kung Fu. All of this can be combined to create an excellent adventure action movie."
Follow the trend, to put it bluntly, follow the trend!
This is true in Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea.
After Kang Jianfei's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was sold, it did not help at all in promoting computer special effects, but instead caused a round of follow-up trends.
After "My Savage Girlfriend", the movie starring Wu Zhenyu once again dominated the Korean film market, and Wu Zhenyu's fame in South Korea continued to soar. However, Korean audiences seem to dislike the beauty of Zhang Xie, and she did not receive universal welcome in South Korea. The charming and charming actresses such as Wang Shuxian, Li Saifeng, and Guan Zhilin are even more popular in South Korea.
However, the heroine's problem did not affect the box office of "Grave Robbers" in South Korea. Although it failed to break the movie record set by "My Savage Girlfriend", "Grave Robbers" still ranked second in the box office list in South Korea in previous years.
There are always some inexplicable angry young people in South Korea. Seeing that the top two in South Korea's box office list over the years were occupied by foreign films Kang Jianfei, they actually went to protest to the South Korean government, demanding the reduction of Hong Kong film quota and protect the development of Korean local films.
Some Korean filmmakers who make money by buying Western movies were originally dissatisfied with the dumping of Hong Kong films in South Korea, and this time they took advantage of the topic and raised boycotts to a patriotic level.
There is no need for Hong Kong film companies to go public relations. South Korea has a group of film merchants who make money by relying on Hong Kong films, and these people are often richer, so they immediately operate public opinion and started a war of verbalism.
Kang Jianfei became a "cultural invader" among the Korean people. In the next few years, his name was often brought out by angry Korean youths. However, it was probably because of the fact that Kang Jianfei once broke his feelings. When he was interviewed by Korean media, he said that he liked South Korea very much and even said a bad Korean greeting. Many angry Korean youths suddenly turned into fans and praised Kang Jianfei as a director with a very aesthetic vision.
The unreasonable acts of Koreans are largely a manifestation of inferiority. As an internationally famous director, Kang Jianfei often makes money in the Korean market, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the angry young men. When he praises the country of South Korea, the vanity of the angry young men is greatly satisfied. Director Kang Da likes South Korea so much, which shows that our country is very excellent and great.
No matter what, Kang Jianfei made money anyway.
Not only did it transfer to the box office of the movie, the newly established Oriental Publishing House has compiled the first part of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" in Hong Kong, and also contacted publishers in South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and other places to discuss the matter.
Although Kang Jianfei often does the work of destroying bridges across rivers, his basic credit is still there. The Tomb Raiders Chronicles are still serialized in Ma Chengkun's "Oriental Daily". It was not transferred to "Diantian Daily", but Ma Chengkun's nothing happened to the publication of the collection.
Speaking of Tiantian Daily, we have to mention Huang Yulang. After he sold his many media outlets to Kang Jianfei, he finally had key working capital. Although his lawsuit was not over and the bank did not provide him with loans for the time being, the entire Yulang International finally came back to life.
Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, also formed a Tianxia Publishing Company with his friends. After the Spring Festival, he began to serialize the "Storm and Cloud" series of comics, which once again attracted the attention of Hong Kong comic fans.
The reason why Ma Rongcheng left Yulang International was not because he saw Huang Yulang's lawsuit and changed jobs. After all, Ma Rongcheng's famous work "Chinese Heroes" is copyrighted in Huang Yulang's hands. After leaving Yulang International, Ma Rongcheng must start over.
Ma Rongcheng was forced to leave Yulang International. In April last year, he was threatened not to create comics for Huang Yulang again. Later, he was ambushed and his hands were almost cut off. It took him half a year to recover from his injuries.
After this terrifying incident, how could Ma Rongcheng dare to stay at Yulang International?
The reason why Huang Yulang took the initiative to sell the Tiantian Daily to Kang Jianfei instead of the buyer who had always wanted to acquire it was because he suspected that Ma Rongcheng was cut down by those people.
Ma Rongcheng is Huang Yulang's money tree. The other party used violent means to force Ma Rongcheng away. How could this not make Huang Yulang angry and jealous?
No matter what, Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, began to create a comic called "Fengyun", which shone brightly during this year's Spring Festival.
...
"Brother Fei, my mother's 55th birthday next week will celebrate her birthday in Canada," He Chaoqiong helped Kang Jianfei, who came back from morning exercise, handed a towel and asked tentatively, "Why do you go together too?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Canada is so far away, what am I going to do? If I celebrate my birthday in Hong Kong or Macau, I will definitely go and congratulate her."
He Chaoqiong's face was a little dim. Since her mother Lan Qiongying last designed and announced the marriage news of their two and exposed the news of their two sons to reporters, Kang Jianfei and Lan Qiongying's relationship has been very stiff.
Fortunately, Lan Qiongying immigrated to Canada last year and has rarely returned to Hong Kong recently, so no unpleasant things have happened yet.
As for Lan Qiongying's immigration to Canada, she actually went there to help King He's business. Since she confirmed that Macau was going to return, King He's been making two plans, secretly contacting the mainland while secretly transferring property and investing in Canada. Once she finds something wrong, she can run away at any time.
Lan Qiongying's father had long immigrated to Canada, and he had many relatives there, so he naturally became the best candidate to manage Canadian business.
Kang Jianfei was happy to be quiet. After his mother-in-law immigrated to Canada, she never nagged him again, which made his and He Chaoqiong's husband and wife life much more harmonious.
Originally, He Chaoqiong wanted to adjust the relationship between her mother and her husband, but when she saw Kang Jianfei's reaction, she temporarily gave up this idea. Although Kang Jianfei smiled when he spoke just now, his attitude of rejection was very obvious and he didn't want to celebrate his mother-in-law's birthday.
"After the Lantern Festival, I will send Xiaoxin to kindergarten." He Chaoqiong said while having breakfast.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Xiaoxin is about to be 4 years old. It's time to go to kindergarten to study. It's better to know more friends."
He Chaoqiong said with some resentment: "I have been bored in the past few years. When Xiaoxin goes to kindergarten, I also want to find something to do."
"What are you going to do?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"I don't know," He Chaoqiong was a little confused. "My dad asked me to go back and help him with things, but I haven't thought about it yet."
Kang Jianfei's macho psychology began to cause trouble again. His woman should help him if she wants to do things. What is the reason for going back to her parents' home to help her father-in-law do things?
"How about you come to Oriental Media Group and work in the middle level for two years first, and then take over slowly." Kang Jianfei said.
He Chaoqiong stayed at home for a few years and was already very bored, but she didn't know what to do for a while. After hearing Kang Jianfei said this, she agreed, "Okay, I'll try it first."
"You must be able to do it." Kang Jianfei said, holding He Chaoqiong's hand.
He Chaoqiong's business talent is naturally unquestionable. The diploma from the University of St. Clay in the United States is not enough to explain anything. Her performance in the shopping mall in another time and space is really dazzling.
At first, He Chaoqiong grew up under the wings of the gambling king's father, but in her 40s, her net worth has surpassed her father, He Gambling King, and it is not counted that she holds shares in Xinde Group and Aobo Holdings (the latter two groups are He Gambling King's industries).
When Kang Jianfei traveled through time, He Chaoqiong was already the richest woman in Hong Kong, and he was also one of the shareholders of TVB.
Of course, He Chaoqiong did not have much business experience at this time and had to go through actual work to train it. Kang Jianfei asked her to enter Oriental Media and was optimistic about her potential abilities.
