The box office frenzy of "The Wrong Ride" in Taiwan also caused waves in the Hong Kong film industry.
Taiwan has been an important market for Hong Kong films since the 1950s, even more important than the box office in Southeast Asia. There has always been a conventional concept in the Hong Kong film circle, that is, whoever controls the Taiwan film market will be the leader of the Hong Kong film industry.
figure.
At that time, Chu Yuan had more than ten films in a row that grossed over 10 million in box office in Taiwan, and he became a super-big-name director that many Hong Kong film companies competed for. Kang Jianfei's Oriental DreamWorks only released three films in Taiwan, and one of them was a small hit.
The two films were super hits and instantly became the most popular film in Hong Kong.
Originally, the Hong Kong media often compared Kang Jianfei with Wu Siyuan, but now it seems that Wu Siyuan can't keep up with Kang Jianfei's footsteps.
It seems that Kang Jianfei was born to make movies. How long has he been in Hong Kong? He broke Hong Kong box office records twice in one year and caused a big sensation in Taiwan twice.
When it comes to the frequency of being in the limelight, only Bruce Lee back then can compare.
Boss Lei Jue Kunlei originally wanted to use Jinbao Film Company and New Art City to suppress Kang Jianfei, but now it seems impossible. Needless to say, he is depressed in his heart, but he has to continue to support Oriental DreamWorks.
As a successful businessman, no matter how unhappy he is, he always puts business interests first. At present, Oriental DreamWorks can bring him huge profits, allowing his Golden Princess Cinema to compete with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinema.
It is absolutely impossible for Lei Juekun to break up with Kang Jianfei.
If Kang Jianfei's "Royal Sister" can be a hit again, there is no doubt that Oriental DreamWorks will focus on customers and take the absolute initiative in cooperating with Golden Princess Cinema.
Just like doing business, Kang Jianfei has a production factory and Lei Juekun has a sales channel. When Kang Jianfei's factory is small, it is natural to look at Lei Juekun's face and rely on him to sell the goods he produces.
Go out. And when Kang Jianfei's factory can produce flagship products and reach a considerable production scale, then Lei Juekun, a seller, will have to lower his profile.
The current situation is that Kang Jianfei's factory can produce the best products in the industry, which can bring huge benefits to Lei Juekun, a seller!
In the screening room of the Golden Princess Cinema, Lei Juekun and several theater managers were watching New Art City's "Chasing Girls".
After watching it, Li Maowen nodded and said: "This movie is good. It's quite interesting."
Upon hearing this, Mecca took the opportunity and said: "Mr. Lei, I want to release "Chasing Girls" on Christmas."
Lei Juekun said hesitantly: "It's Christmas time. Kang Jianfei's "Royal Senior Sister" will be finished soon. By the time he finishes the post-production, it will be almost Christmas."
Mecca felt quite unhappy: "It's Christmas time. The worst that can happen is that "Girlfriend" and "Royal Sisters" will be released together, and the theater will be half full per person. Whoever has a better box office will be screened additionally, and the loser will have fewer screenings."
"No, fighting each other like this is not good for either Princess Jin or your two companies." Li Maowen purely considered it from a business perspective.
Lei Juekun thought for a while and said: "It's better to release "Chasing Girls" in advance. Once "Royal Sister" is released, that kid Kang Jianfei wants me to give him a full-line screening, and then you won't be able to enjoy the soup.
And if you get ahead of "The Royal Sisters", you can avoid being affected by it. Otherwise, when "The Royal Sisters" is over, it's time for Hung Kam-bo's movie to be released again, and you will have to fight for a schedule with Hung Kim-bo."
"Okay then," Mecca thought for a moment and could only obey the theater chain's arrangement. He asked, "What films is Jinbao Film Company planning to show?"
Lei Juekun said: ""Zombie Taoist Priest"."
"Zombie movie?" Mecca asked.
Lei Juekun nodded and said: "Zombie movie starring Lin Zhengying."
If Kang Jianfei knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. He made a "Mr. Zombie", and now Hong Jinbao is filming a follow-up film to grab the New Year's slot. Not only that, Lin Zhengying did not sign a contract with Oriental DreamWorks, but continued to stay with Oriental DreamWorks
Hong family class.
Hung Kam-po has made several movies in a row, but the box office in Hong Kong is only 3 to 4 million. Although this kind of box office is enough to make other directors envious, he feels that he is still far from Kang Jianfei. In the movies he made before
, basically Hong Jinbao plays the leading role. This time, in order to get a good box office in the New Year period, he actually played a supporting role, playing a powerful monk, and let Lin Zhengying be the leading role.
"Mr. Zombie", a movie that did not exist in another time and space, appeared in such a grand way.

Japan, Tokyo streets.
Kang Jianfei was making gestures and dancing, and then the translator followed his words and told the two Japanese actors the drama.
This was the last fight scene for reshoots. There were three people fighting Lin Qingxia, two of whom were from the Kang family class. Only the one who spoke Japanese lines was a Japanese actor, and the other one who escaped was also Japanese.
These Japanese actors were all actors from Shochiku Pictures. Kang Jianfei naturally had to pay market prices for filming with them, but Shochiku Pictures helped arrange the arrangements, which saved him a lot of effort.
"drink!"
Lin Qingxia let out a sweet shout, and with a steel wire hanging from her waist, she used the force to launch a roundhouse kick in the air. The Japanese actor opposite was kicked away in response.
At this time, Lin Qingxia's training in the past few days became apparent. Although she was using a steel wire to exert force, it was not easy to perform such a beautiful roundhouse kick.
There weren't many reshoots in Japan, but including the time it took to change filming locations, it took a full day and a half to complete.
Because I was afraid of an accident that would delay my time, I reserved two days for shooting in Japan. Prayer booked a flight ticket for the morning of the third day.
With one afternoon left, Kang Jianfei asked the crew to do group activities. Under the leadership of Japanese actors, they went to several tourist attractions in Tokyo.
Everyone walked around Ginza for a while, and those who wanted to buy gifts picked some things to take back to their family and friends. Kang Jianfei also picked out some accessories and electronic products to give to several women and cousins.
After shopping, the two Japanese actors and translator took Kang Jianfei and others straight to Sensoji Temple.
Sensoji Temple is regarded as the birthplace of Tokyo. When the Tokugawa Shogunate designated this place as a place of worship, this area gradually prospered and developed.
The translator acted as a tour guide, pointed to a temple door and said: "This is the Wind and Thunder Gate, which has been burned down several times in history. Did you see the big lantern there? That is our Japanese god of management, Matsushita Konosuke.
It was donated after praying for recovery from illness at Sensoji Temple. Sensoji Temple was a place of prayer hundreds of years ago. Now countless people come here every year around New Year's Day to pray. Moreover, the Guanyin here is very effective and can make your wishes come true...
…”
After everyone wandered around the temple for a while, the translator pointed to the front and said, "You can draw lots there. If you draw a good lot, you can take it home and keep it. If you draw a bad lot, tie the writing on a branch in the courtyard. That way you can
Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune..."
Women have always been interested in this kind of mysterious stuff, and Lin Qingxia was no exception. After hearing this, she said, "A Fei, let's go take a look too."
"Okay." Kang Jianfei smiled.
Kang Jianfei nodded, and the crew members who had long wanted to ask for autographs rushed over in a swarm.
Kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, Kang Jianfei saw people on the left and right waving lotus tubes, and Lin Qingxia looked pious. He was affected by this atmosphere, and he also shook the lotus with an attitude of preferring to believe it.
After shaking it for a long time, he finally pulled out one. Seeing that Lin Qingxia's side was also healed, Kang Jianfei remembered his signature number and looked for the signature.
"I found mine!" Lin Qingxia said happily, holding a note in her hand.
Kang Jianfei came over and took a look, but it was an ancient Chinese poem, with a bunch of Japanese underneath. The poem said: It is difficult to plant fairy flowers in the sky, and there are many changes in the world. The future has been recorded in public and private records, and punishments and rewards can be divided into clear and dirty.
Lin Qingxia read the poem twice and asked: "Young scholar from Kangda University, how do you interpret this lot?"
"I don't understand this," Kang Jianfei found his own signature with a smile and read out, "If you get the first spiritual lottery, the dragon and the tiger will meet in a storm; once you are happy in the sky, you can come and go to the Yaochi. It sounds like
That's quite good. Isn't there a monk over there? Just ask him to interpret the signature for us."
The translator came over and said to Kang Jianfei and Kang Jianfei: "The Japanese characters on the signature are the interpretations of the Chinese poems. Do you want me to show them to you?"
Lin Qingxia said: "It's better to ask the master here."
Together with the translator, the two found a monk. The monk took Lin Qingxia's signature and asked, "Miss, yours is a winning lottery. I don't know what to ask?"
Lin Qingxia said: "I'm asking about marriage feelings."
The monk said: "Let me tell you the origin of this fortune: Xuemei is the princess of King Annan, and she proposed in a special couplet. The first part of the couplet said, "There are three feet of snow in front of the Taiji Hall. Later, there was a Cantonese named Huang Huagui. At that time, I was so blessed.
The plum blossom was planted in the human world. It was originally the seed of the fairy flower in the sky. It was a branch of plum blossom in the Guanghan Palace.
Good deeds should bring you blessings. When it comes to relationships, you must not be half-hearted, otherwise you will cause trouble. As long as you can choose the person you like and stick with him until the end, you can be happy and contented."
Kang Jianfei listened to it and suddenly felt that this sign was very powerful. Look at Lin Qingxia in another time and space. When she was young, wasn't she half-hearted in making a choice, and ended up exhausted mentally and physically? Later, although the husband she chose was not good-looking, her life after marriage
It was a pretty happy life too.
After hearing what the translator said, Lin Qingxia's cheeks suddenly turned red. She glanced at Kang Jianfei secretly and immediately lowered her head and remained silent.
Kang Jianfei handed his lottery to the monk and asked, "Dashi, how do you interpret mine?"
After the monk got the signature, he glanced at it and stood up suddenly, saying in horror: "If you get the first spiritual lottery, the dragon and the tiger will meet in a storm; once you are happy in the sky, you can come and go to Yaochi. The donor does not need this lottery."
I understand, this is the lotus on Tianzi No. 1, everything will go well, and anything can be accomplished. I have been interpreting the lotus in Sensoji Temple for twelve years, and the donor is the first person to get this lotus."
The translator told Kang Jianfei what he said. Kang Jianfei looked at the signature in his hand in surprise and said to himself: "So I am so cheating?" (To be continued) 8
