Regarding Kang Jianfei's upcoming collaboration with Cameron to shoot science fiction blockbusters, in addition to the sarcasm of some media and the shock of people in the circle, there is another view.—{2}{3}{w}{x}]
Countless book fans and movie fans of "The Grave Robbers" had only one idea when they learned about the new film "Jurassic Park", they had only one idea: to cheat! The promised "The Grave Robbers" will be filmed in a sequel, but more than a year later, where will the sequel be? It's enough to film "The Truman World". Now, there's a Vanke Fiction blockbuster. Is there such a divine pit that can be dug and buried?
For these people, no matter how many women they see or how many billions of Kang Jianfei's new film budget is, they only want to see the sequel to "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
In just one week, Kang Jianfei received hundreds of letters from fans, hoping that he would give up the shooting plan of "Jurassic Park" and change to film the long-awaited "Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2".
Not only that, the fans of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" also organized and went to the gate of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to sit and petition. Kang Jianfei was amused and cried, so he could only persuade his fans to go back in person, and said that he had been planning the sequel of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and would start filming at most in the second half of the year. Although the sequel was not director, he would serve as the producer to ensure the quality of the sequel.
The fan club of "Grave Robbers" was originally just a book fan club, and when "Grave Robbers" was made into a movie, many movie fans also joined in and became a large fan group with more than 2,000,000 members.
There are entertainment reporters waiting all day in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. This scene happened at the gate. Naturally, they were photographed by reporters and reported in the entertainment version as a strange thing.
I have never heard of film companies making shoddy sequels in order to make money, which attracted the audience to scold them. However, it was the first time that the audience cried and shouted, and organized a petition to ask the film company to make a sequel, which was completely the opposite.
The editor of "Newspaper" commented: "Kang Jianfei is a person who likes freshness. Just like he keeps dating new beauties, Director Kang Da's attitude towards movies is the same. No matter how popular the first movie is, he has never personally filmed sequels, such as "Happy Ghost", "Mr. Zombie", "Senior Sister Royal", "Wong Feihong". After Kang Jianfei finished filming, he threw the sequel filming work to other directors. Even the world-famous "Home Imperial", he directly sold the copyright of the sequel to 20th Century Fox.
Kang Jianfei's love for the new and old is a major factor in his success. He will not immerse himself in his past achievements and will not know what is so-called. Instead, he keeps trying new things. Now Hong Kong is shooting more and more videos every year, but there are fewer and fewer new ideas. Continuous repetition has become a routine plot…”
Well, I was originally evaluating the petition incident of the fan club of "Grave Robbers" but was ripped into the shoddy Hong Kong films by "Newspaper". It seems that more and more Hong Kong films have been produced in the past two years. It has accumulated extremely deep resentment, and I will complain about it when I get an opportunity.
However, Kang Jianfei was having a headache. He wanted to direct "Grave Robbers 2". After all, he couldn't go back on his promise to fans.
In Hong Kong, there are many people who are able to take over the filming of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2". The older generation is like King Hu, Lee Hanxiang, and the new generation is John Woo, Johnnie To, Chan Jiashang, Xu Ke, etc. The directorial skills of these people are absolutely up to date. Although it is possible that they have never made fantasy adventure films. But as long as they provide them with sufficient funds and personnel, they will definitely be able to make movies above the level.
First of all, we must choose among the signing directors of Oriental Entertainment Agency. So John Woo, Johnnie To and others were eliminated directly, and finally Kang Jianfei focused his attention on Xu Ke and Ang Lee.
Xu Ke has other shooting tasks in the second half of the year, so only Ang Lee is left.
However, given the bad deeds of Ang Lee making a superhero film that is literary and artistic, Kang Jianfei felt that he had to drive the right to supervise the production. As long as he controlled the rhythm of the entire film, Ang Lee's literary and artistic style might bring unexpected surprises to "Grave Robbers 2".
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Come in."
Kang Jianfei looked down at the photos on the table. There were more than 100 photos, and the contents of the photos were all beautiful scenery of the island.
After Kang Jianfei's adaptation, the first story of "Jurassic Park" takes place on an island in Asia. Kang Jianfei took a team of 10 people to go to the East Indies to select scenes. After more than half a month of hard work, all the photos of the islands screened were placed here in Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei picked out the photos of several islands he liked and recorded them one by one in his notebook. In a few days, he would have to go to the field to observe it before finally deciding which island to choose for the shooting.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Kang Jianfei put down the photo and looked up, and smiled and said, "Please sit down."
The person who came was Jiang Zhiqiang, general manager of Oriental Cinemas. After sitting down, he talked about the serious matters: "I just talked to Pan Disheng, and he still intends to sell Debao Cinemas, but the price is too high, and there is also an accompanying requirement to package the Dison Records and sell it to us. I can't make the decision, only you can make a decision."
Kang Jianfei asked: "How much does he want?"
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "He asked for a price of 500 million yuan. When I talked about 450 million yuan, I couldn't talk about it anymore. I still insisted on stuffing Dison Records to make a big deal."
"Just like the broken company of Dison Records, it would be expensive to sell it to me for 1 million." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but smile.
Like Debo Film Company, Dison Records is a playful work of Pan Desheng. The most famous singer under its singular is Danny Chan, but Danny Chan has already transferred to other companies. Now the only singer under Dison Records is Kwong Mei-yun. If Kwong Mei-yun had not had such a little fame, the broken company would be worth up to 100,000 yuan.
As for Debao Cinema, Pan Disheng invested nearly 300 million yuan in it, and a total of 15 self-built and franchised theaters under its own construction and franchise.
Debao Cinemas were originally built with rental shops, and the remaining leases were of different lengths, and nearly half of them were advanced multi-hall cinemas.
Kang Jianfei originally planned to buy the seven of the best locations, but Pan Disheng wanted to sell the entire theater together, and the price was ridiculously high.
"400 million is my bottom line. If Mr. Pan still refuses to let go, then there is no need to waste any more talk. We will immediately choose a self-built cinema." Kang Jianfei said very simply. He didn't have to buy Debao Cinema.
On the contrary, because Pan Disheng no longer wants to engage in the film industry, he wants to sell both the movies, theaters and record companies, but now he is struggling to find someone to take over.
Although Hong Kong films are booming and more and more wealthy businessmen are investing in movies, this does not mean that they need to own movies and theater companies. Most investors who invest in Hong Kong films are just to make money. They invest directly in specific directors or companies and are not interested in starting their own companies.
Jiang Zhiqiang took the coffee made by Li Meifeng, took a sip, and then said: "I also tend not to buy Debao Cinemas, because our Oriental Cinemas has already made a perfect layout in Hong Kong, and what we lack is the few points that Shaw Cinemas took back."
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Then build it yourself."
Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly said: "My elder brother was diagnosed with chronic diseases in the hospital. He should not be too tired. He wanted to hand over Anle Cinema to me for management."
"You are not going to resign from me, are you?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"I want Anle Cinema to join Oriental Cinema." Jiang Zhiqiang said. He was used to being the general manager of a large theater like Oriental Cinema. How could he be willing to go back and run a small theater with only 4 theaters?
"I welcome you with both hands!" Kang Jianfei smiled. If Jiang Zhiqiang left, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable general manager of the theater.
Shaw Brothers is preparing to return, and Debao plans to close its business. In the future, Anle Film Company, which monopolizes Hong Kong's Western distribution business, will change its manager. This is also a turbulent situation in the Hong Kong film industry.
After Jiang Zhiqiang left, Li Meifeng walked into the office again and said, "Brother Fei, President Zhou of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong Branch just called you."
"What's the matter?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Li Meifeng said: "There was a major flood in East China."
