Outside the theater, He Chaoyi went straight to Kang Jianfei's Cadillac, turned her head to the bodyguard and said, "I'm going to my brother-in-law's house tonight, won't you follow me too?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other and smiled bitterly, saying, "Miss, before you go out tomorrow, please call us to notify us. Please search and read the most complete novel."
"I know, it's really annoying!" He Chaoyi said with a look of bad expression.
From beginning to end, He Chaoyi didn't even look at her father, and seemed to be angry with He Hongsen.
"Oh, it's hard to control my daughter when she grows up." He Hongsen sighed and turned back to his car. His children were very obedient when they were young, but they developed rebellion when they were adolescence. They were all disobedient, and each one was more difficult to control.
Back at Villa No. 4, He Chaoqiong first went back to the room and urged his son to go to bed, then went downstairs to the living room. He asked with a smile: "You are planning to live with me all the time?"
He Chaoyi was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, dressed up very wildly. She gnawed the apple and said, "I don't care, I'll talk about it anyway when I get angry." She suddenly asked Kang Jianfei again, "Brother-in-law, will the second part of "Resident Evil" be filmed?"
"It should be filmed next year." Kang Jianfei nodded.
"Give me a character, you need to have a fighting scene," He Chaoyi said and became excited. "Zombies are so cool. What kind of zombies are like? Evil ghosts have styles. How did you come up with it?"
Kang Jianfei was sweating wildly. Most people only think that zombies were disgusting. They thought zombies were cool, and they were basically those rebellious young people. He smiled and said, "Okay, when I wrote the script, I will add a character to you."
"It's my brother-in-law who loves me the most. Come and kiss me, Mu!" He Chaoyi sat over and hooked up with Kang Jianfei, and kissed his brother-in-law on the face with lightning speed.
He Chaoyi looked pretty good when she was young, but Kang Jianfei was not very interested. Before the birth of the youngest daughter of the He family, this girl was the most beloved daughter of the gambling king. If he dared to do anything randomly, the gambling king would probably go directly to the door to question him.
He Chaoqiong didn't care about his sister's excessive intimacy. She said: "Mr. Cha decided to reduce his holdings of Mingpao Group by 20%. If we can successfully acquire it, Oriental Media Group will become the largest shareholder of Mingpao Group."
"So quickly?" Kang Jianfei was a little surprised. "Is he going to retire?"
"Maybe a little discouraged," He Chaoqiong said, "Dong Qiao, the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, was poached some time ago and went to be the editor-in-chief of Apple Daily. Mr. Cha had a big fight with Dong Qiao."
Dong Qiao is a well-known writer in Southeast Asia. He had a close relationship with Kim Yong 20 years ago. A few years ago, he was invited to serve as the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao. However, such an old friend had a disagreement with Kim Yong's concept of publishing newspapers, and he actually switched to the Apple Daily, which had no bottom line.
"After taking over the shares of Ming Pao, Oriental Media can start developing in Taiwan and Nanyang," said Kang Jianfei.
Unfortunately, it is the 1990s and has missed the opportunity to enter the Western media market. There was a wave of acquisitions in the United States in the 1980s, and whether it is traditional companies, film companies, newspapers, magazines, and record groups are conducting various equity transactions.
Kang Jianfei bought Paramount at that time, and the Japanese people also waved their money to buy and buy various things in the United States. The most cruel one was Murdoch. This old man bought all the newspapers that he could buy in the United States, and also bought many movies, record companies and TV stations.
Oriental Media will definitely not be able to play around in Europe and the United States, so it can only be based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and at least it must encircle its territory in these places.
Of course, what Kang Jianfei values most is the power of the Internet. Oriental Media will become a shareholder of Oriental Network Technology Company through the second round of financing before listing. The Internet is the new future of the media industry.
...
In the newspaper the next day, film critics praised "Resident Evil", calling it a classic Hong Kong science fiction film.
Of course, there are also some people who are sad because 99% of the entire film is in English dialogue. This is hard to say that it is a Chinese film, at most it is a Hong Kong-made English film. Film critics criticized Kang Jianfei for forgetting the origin of Hong Kong films while taking the evil path and striving to internationalize.
Of course, Kang Jianfei could dubbing the movie in Cantonese, but he didn't do this, mainly for the sake of watching and experience. A story that happened abroad would be too weird if it was told in Chinese.
Of course, the Taiwanese version must have Mandarin dubbing, and the film dealers there like to play like this.
The main films released during the Christmas season include "Carrotto of Fire", "Ten Brothers", "Haigen", "Public Servant 2", "Raging Sea Veyron", etc.
Among them, "Carrotto" produced by Yongsheng is quite powerful, with a box office of over 10 million in the first week. Newcomer Yongqi Leung became popular because of this film and became a rising star in Hong Kong. Among the young actresses supported by the company, she is the most successful in development.
"Ten Brothers" is not bad, it is a Taiwanese-funded film starring the little brat Hao Shaowen, and the box office in the first week is more than 4 million.
As for the remaining films, they all failed, and there was not even a box office of over 2 million in the first week. Yuan Bin finally invested in a film "The Rage Sea" and asked his junior brother Yuan Biao to be the male lead, and the actress Yang Liqing to be the female lead. As a result, the box office of only 1.2 million in the first week... This film could be sold for 1.5 million in Hong Kong, which was not enough to hire an actor's salary.
"Resident Evil" was released on the sixth day of the premiere, and won 13 million in four days. "Carl of Fire", which was originally in good momentum, was instantly depressed, and the box office in the second week dropped to only 5 million, a drop of more than 50%.
For the audience, they were even more surprised to watch "Resident Evil" at this time than watching "Mr. Zombies" back then. It was so cool to have high-tech and kung fu and gun battles.
Half a month after the release, "Movie Biweekly" finally released the relevant film reviews: "After I was invited to attend the premiere, I have always wanted to write an article about "Resident Evil". But I didn't understand some parts. I watched it for the second time two days ago and finally straightened out the plot of the film...
This is a very successful Hong Kong commercial film. The inspiration for zombies is obviously derived from zombies and vampires, but it is packaged with biochemical technology. Especially the elevator accident, it is not inferior to the horror movie at all... Li Jiaxin walked out of the bathroom, guns filled with drawers, empty villas, frightening birds, and strong winds coming to her face, as if she was the only one left in the world. These scenes make the atmosphere extremely weird and terrifying. If Mr. Kang Jianfei went to make a horror movie, I would definitely contribute a movie ticket...
"Resident Evil" can be said to have created a new type of film, and we will call it a zombie film. The magical imagination and steady narrative rhythm have built a complete science fiction world. I want to say that the highlight should be in the second part. The suspense left at the end of this film is really itchy, and I am afraid that Kang Jianfei will dig a hole and not fill it up like before."
