When Xu Ke and his girlfriend Shi Nansheng walked into the Princess Jin Theater, many people came to the cinema. Last time they went to the cinema to watch "Happy Ghost" and bought the tickets themselves, but this time Kang Jianfei sent an invitation directly.
In addition to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, Kang Jianfei also invited more than ten directors including Xu Anhua, Tan Jiaming, Yan Hao, Fang Yuping, Zhang Guoming, Yu Yunhang, etc.
The so-called Hong Kong movie New Way movement was a sudden cháo movement in Hong Kong movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A group of young directors who returned from Europe and the United States suddenly exploded after several years of running-in with local TV stations in Hong Kong, integrating the advanced film experience they learned from abroad with Hong Kong local culture and making a large number of new movies that are different from old Hong Kong movies.
This movie, cháo, directly affected the development and evolution of Hong Kong films in the next 20 years.
These people, including Xu Ke, are very popular now and there are many praises to them in the circle. However, most of the movies they make have a common feature, that is, they are not popular, so few bosses are willing to invest in making movies for them.
The reporters soon discovered that there were actually a short continuous seat in the theater, all of which were sitting in Xin. Director Nam cháo took photos of them one after another.
"Old Xu, I heard that you are very familiar with Kang Jianfei. What did this guy invite all of us to do?" Fang Yuping asked Xu Kedao, who was next to him. This guy used to be a photographer at Jiashi. He just asked Shaw Brothers to invest in filming "Famous Swords" and invited Zheng Shaoqiu to play the male lead. The box office was barely achievable.
Xu Ke said speechlessly: "Why do you think that Kang Jianfei is very familiar with me? I made a guest appearance in a movie for him, okay?"
Yan Hao smiled and said, "You're more familiar than us."
After Yun Hang Road: "In fact, his "Happy Ghost" also has a little new flavor. The taste of cháo is very different from the shooting techniques of old Hong Kong films."
Zhang Guoming said: "I am very interested in Kang Jianfei's growth experience. A young man who swam from the mainland was less than 20 years old, and he wrote novels and made movies. He even opened a film company by himself. He seemed to be born with so many things."
Xu Anhua smiled and said, "There is something called talent."
Shi Nansheng suddenly interrupted, "I want to see the real kung fu he will perform later."
Yu Yunhang said disdainfully: "Where did you get the real kung fu? It's just some fighting boxing skills. It's so touted by the newspaper that it seems like you can kill people from a distance."
Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "I don't know how to kill people from afar, but Kang Jianfei used his kung fu to kill two robbers in the street, but it was true."
Yu Yunhang curled his lips and did not answer any more.
More than a thousand viewers who bought high-priced tickets entered the venue one after another. The reporters were surprised to find that the premiere tickets of up to 50 yuan and down to 30 yuan were sold out, and the audience was full of seats.
After such a premiere, the income from selling tickets alone was 50,000 yuan! The cost of the premiere did not require at least 200,000 yuan as Li Maowen guessed. Because Kang Jianfei almost invited more than 200 media outlets for free, and the performances before the movie was released did not invite any other stars. They were all employees of Oriental Dream Factory who performed it themselves.
The biggest expense of the premiere is the venue fee of more than 3,000 yuan for renting the theater...
Hong Jinbao took Lin Zhengying and others to sit down. Seeing the more than 200 media reporters ahead, his heart suddenly became hot and said to Yuan Biao: "Our "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" will also have a premiere!"
Yuan Biao nodded quickly. He never thought that a movie would be released and would gather more than 200 reporters to participate. Not to mention anything else, such a spectacular scene, tomorrow's newspapers will definitely report it extensively. As long as "Mr. Zombie" is not too bad, there will definitely be many people who hear the news and watch the movie.
"Ghost Fights" was filmed very slowly because this is a spiritual fantasy kung fu film, which is a bit different from the kung fu films that Sammo Hung had filmed before. The plot has also been carefully conceived. In addition, Lin Zhengying and Yuanhua have the experience of filming "Mr. Zombie" with Kang Jianfei. Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fights" is much better than in parallel time and space, and the shooting time has also increased significantly.
Judging from the current progress, it will take at least late July to complete the production of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", but it can still catch up with the end of the summer season.
When the premiere time came, the light below suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light led a beautiful woman with a prominent figure to the stage, but Pan Yingzi was wearing a high-slit cheongsam.
In order to save money, Kang Jianfei was too lazy to even invite the emcee, so he directly asked Pan Yingzi to join the battle.
After Pan Yingzi came on stage, she bowed to the bottom and said with a microphone: "I feel that all the friends at the scene are busy attending the premiere of "Mr. Zombie"... Now, please invite the first lion dancer in Hong Kong, Yu Yuanwen, the god of Kang family, to bring you a colorful lion dance performance!"
Pan Yingzi disappeared with the lights, while the "god" danced the lion with her partner Ye Tao in the sound of gongs and drums.
It has to be admitted that Yu Yuanwen's lion dance skills are really unique. Liu Jialiang's Liu family class originally used lion dance as a masterpiece, and almost everyone could dance a few tricks. But in the parallel space, after Liu Jialiang had to re-activate Yu Yuanwen because he needed a lion dancer to shoot movies, which shows how high his lion dance level is.
Under Yu Yuanwen's control, a lion seemed to come alive. Not only could it run and jump like other lion dances, but it even had vivid expressions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, which attracted the audience below to cheer.
After the lion dance program was over, it was suddenly a martial arts performance.
However, this performance was extraordinary. One of the Dragon and Tiger martial artists from the Kang family suddenly flew down from the air, and the other jumped more than ten feet high. The two of them actually played swords in the air, fighting happily!
The martial artists in the Kang family class just mastered the Wiya technology, which attracted the audience's surprise.
Hong Jinbao, who was watching the show below, looked speechless and whispered to Yuan Biao: "Kang Jianfei is really profitable and can't get up early. He has a movie premiere and is actually advertising his Kang family class!"
Yuan Biao was stunned and then understood what Hong Jinbao said.
The martial arts class is not for nothing. Apart from making movies by yourself, you have to go out to take on the job in your spare time to survive. The better the martial arts class is, the more crews they invite them to make movies, and the more popular the martial arts class will be.
The Kang family class has just been established, and its reputation is naturally not as good as the old fan family class, Liu family class, Hong family class, and Yuan family class, and it is not even as good as the Cheng family class just founded last year.
How to make you famous? One is that the movies made by Kang’s family are selling well, and the other is that they are doing promotion.
Kang Jianfei asked the martial artists of the Kang family to perform at the premiere, which saved a lot of money from hiring other stars, and the other was to promote the Kang family in front of more than 200 media and many directors, which was a killing two birds with one stone.
I believe that after tonight, when some duli directors and small companies make action movies, the Kang family class will also become an important target for them to choose.
Hong Jinbao's voice was very low, but Lin Zhengying next to him could hear it clearly, and the skin was a little feverish when he was sitting down. Because Kang Jianfei, the Kang family class, was formed by Huang Xia, who was responsible for recruiting people, and Huang Xia was recommended to Kang Jianfei by him. Lin Zhengying felt that his move was a bit unauthorized.
After the performance of the martial artists was finished, the host who played the guest role of Pan Yingzi called all the main creators of the crew to the stage, and Lin Zhengying and Yuanhua had to get up and go on stage.
In the audience seats below, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia sat next to Zhao Yazhi. When he heard Pan Yingzi invite the main creators to come on stage, Li Saifeng immediately ran up happily, leaving Wen Bixia sitting there with jealousy and enviousness.
Zhao Yazhi touched Wen Bixia's head and comforted her as if she was coaxing her little sister: "Next time, let your brother A Fei make a movie for you, and then arrange a stronger premiere for you."
"That's so difficult." Wen Bixia sighed. She felt that she was not as beautiful as Li Saifeng, and she couldn't even compare to singing and acting, let alone Li Saifeng was learning kung fu with Kang Jianfei. In order not to be thrown too far, Wen Bixia and others have already learned singing very hard, but unfortunately they are still making progress slower than Li Saifeng. It's really amazing that people are more popular!
Not far from Zhao Yazhi was Zhong Chuhong sitting there. She was so bored sitting there alone. Seeing Li Saifeng on the stage, she quickly changed seats and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi.
Zhong Chuhong is very cheerful and generous. She disdains the people she doesn't like. She will take the initiative to say hello to anyone she likes. Zhong Chuhong especially likes Zhao Yazhi's performance in "On the Beach". She sat over and greeted him happily: "Hello Miss Zhao, my name is Zhong Chuhong!"
Zhao Yazhi immediately recognized Zhong Chuhong and said with a smile: "I know you. You are the fourth place in Miss Hong Kong last year, and I am also the fourth place in Miss Hong Kong."
When the two Hong Kong ladies first exchanged, Pan Yingzi on the stage had already started chatting with the main creators, and revealed many interesting stories about the shooting, adding a lot of information to the reporters present's reports tomorrow.
After the chat, Pan Yingzi suddenly said to Kang Jianfei: "Director, I remember you seem to have promised to perform your real kung fu at the premiere." As he said, Pan Yingzi suddenly asked the audience in the audience, "Do you want to see Director Kang's real kung fu!"
Many of the ticket-buying audiences at the scene came from Kang Jianfei's real kung fu, and immediately burst into cheers and shouts.
Kang Jianfei stood up from the chair and said very pretentiously: "I said in the newspaper that once my kung fu takes action, I will definitely be either dead or injured, and there is no way to talk about the competition or performance." As he said that, Kang Jianfei changed his tone, "But, I can show you two tricks. Ah Feng, stand over!"
"Yes, Master!" Li Saifeng stood five meters away after hearing this.
Pan Yingzi introduced the narration: "Little Sister Li Saifeng is learning kung fu with Director Kang and is his first apprentice."
Before the audience could guess what Kang Jianfei was going to perform, they saw Chen You take an apple and put it on Li Saifeng's head, and then ran away quickly.
Kang Jianfei pulled out a fruit knife and did not do any fancy moves. He saw a flash of the knife. The fruit knife had been inserted into the apple on Li Saifeng's head five meters away, and the apple fell to the ground with the apple.
"Wow!"
The audience was shocked and uproared, and countless people exclaimed and stood up.
Chapter completed!
