The box office of nearly 8 million is already pretty good in Hong Kong. Why does Xu Ke still feel embarrassed to meet people?
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods.
Chen Xunqi and Xu Ke are the generals of DreamWorks and New Arts City respectively. From Lei Juekun poaching Chen Xunqi, to Kang Jianfei poaching Xu Ke, this back and forth has long been regarded by the outside world as the relationship between two film industry giants.
war.
Lei Juekun invested in helping Chen Xunqi get a Yongjia Film Company, and Kang Jianfei invested in Xu Ke to get a film studio. The outside world has been paying attention to the development of the two and wants to determine the winner.
"The City" and "A Date with a Beautiful Lady" are the first works of Xu Ke Film Studio and Yongjia Pictures respectively. The two films were released at the same time during the Spring Festival, and the theaters they were released in were New Era and Golden Film respectively.
Princess.
After all this, the box office battle between "The Finale" and "A Date with a Beautiful Lady" has directly evolved into a competition between Kang Jianfei and Lei Juekun.
Xu Ke's "The Final City" had a box office of nearly 8 million, but this movie had many big scenes and the production cost was just over 5 million; Chen Xunqi's "A Date with a Beauty" had a box office of 9 million, of which the biggest expense was the salary of the heroine Xiao Fangfang.
The production cost was less than 1.5 million.
Comparing the two, Xu Ke's "The Final City" lost too miserably, which means Kang Jianfei lost to Lei Juekun.
However, whether it is "The Last City" or "A Date with a Beautiful Lady", they are all companions in this year's Spring Festival. The real big winners are "et" released in Shaw Brothers theaters, as well as Golden Harvest's Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao,
Yuan Biao starred in "Marine Eagle" and Kang Jianfei's "Home Alone".
Hollywood films have always been unaccustomed to Hong Kong, and it is rare for Western films to exceed the box office of Hong Kong films. When "Alien" was released in Hong Kong, it only sold 3.2 million box office.
But this time it was different. After "et" was released, the box office skyrocketed. Especially with the help of Shaw Brothers, it was far more powerful than the release by Anle Pictures in the original time and space. The box office exceeded 10 million in the blink of an eye. And Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao,
Not to be outdone, "Marine Eagle" starring Yuen Biao, the box office of the two movies soon exceeded 15 million together, and they are still being released.
The weirdest thing is not this, but New Era Cinemas directly released Kang Jianfei's "Home Alone" after "The Last City" was dropped.
"Marine Eagle" was released by Golden Harvest Cinema on the first day of the Spring Festival, while "et" and "Home Alone" were released on the first day of the new year.
"Eagle" took the lead with a box office of 24.5 million, and then only "et" and "Home Alone" were left to compete.
A Hong Kong tabloid joked: “This year’s Spring Festival is all about watching ghosts fight!”
Ghosts are the ghosts of foreign devils. "ET" and "Home Alone" are foreign movies, so when they fight, they are ghosts fighting.
After the Spring Festival, Cheng Long's "The Marine Eagle" ranked first at the box office with 24.5 million; "Home Alone" was actually sold because it was directed by Kang Jianfei, and because it was rumored to "make tens of millions of dollars a day"
A rare Western film box office of 21.4 million; "et" finally ranked third with 18.6 million.
Of course, this is a later topic, so let’s not mention it for now.

"Two barrels."
"bump!"
"Wait a minute, you're crazy!"
"What are you doing? Sister Qingxia, you won't let go of your dick!"
"That's right, you have ruined everything I have."
"Stop talking, get the money soon."
"..."
Lin Qingxia laughed and raised her hand, while Wen Bixia threw the 1 yuan coin over with a grimace, and then depressedly played mahjong to prepare for the next game.
The last few days of the year are rest days, and stars in the entertainment industry are no exception. Some singers and TV stars may need to perform during the Spring Festival, but most movie actors take the opportunity to rest, and the biggest entertainment during the break is playing cards.
Playing mahjong and poker are the repertoire of Hong Kong celebrities during the Chinese New Year. This trend has been spread since the 1960s to the present.
Lin Qingxia is not very good at playing cards, she is only good at Taiwanese mahjong, and she only knows a little bit about Hong Kong mahjong.
Novices are generally very addicted to playing cards. A few days ago, Lin Qingxia was asked to learn how to play Hong Kong mahjong, and she made appointments with Zhong Chuhong to practice all day long. Because one of the three was missing, and Kang Jianfei was not very interested in playing cards, she called Wen.
Bi Xia called over, and the other person accompanying her was Zhou Runfa.
Everyone's bets are not big, and the minimum gambling capital is only 1 yuan, which is nothing to a few big stars.
Among the four, Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia are not very good at playing cards. On the contrary, Wen Bixia has been influenced by her gambling father since she was a child and has been able to play cards well at a young age.
It's a pity that Wen Bixia thought that the 1 yuan stake was too small, and she always wanted to be a big player. She didn't even bother to touch the chicken by herself. As a result, she who had the best poker skills lost the most.
After Kang Jianfei answered the phone, he walked to sit next to Lin Qingxia and asked, "How much have you won?"
Wen Bixia pouted and said: "Sister Qingxia is so lucky, she won more than three hundred."
"Have you lost the most?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile. He only watched Wen Bixia play a few games from the side, and he knew that if this girl was not particularly lucky, she would definitely lose if she only played big names.
Wen Bixia sighed and said: "I listened to all the cards in the last hand. I was originally going to touch it myself, but Sister Qingxia got the better of me."
Zhou Runfa doesn't like playing cards very much. He was called by Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong as a sparring partner. He held his cheek in his hand and touched the cards with one hand and said: "Qingxia's luck is indeed very good. The three of us lost, and she was the only one who won."
.”
Hearing what Zhou Runfa said, Kang Jianfei thought of an interview video he saw in his previous life.
The reporter interviewed many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities and specifically asked them about playing cards, and those celebrities also took the opportunity to reveal many secrets.
For example, Chen Baixiang claims to have a high IQ and is well versed in various card skills. He can be called a skilled player, but he loses more than he wins when playing cards. Alan Tam is usually silent and keeps stuffing money into his trouser pockets when playing cards. He has almost no words.
Which time did you lose in playing cards? Anita Mui is a big scoundrel who can’t play cards but often joins in the fun, and even defaults on the money after losing money. Wang Jing, a fat man, has made many gambling movies, but his card skills are so bad; Jacky Cheung every time
She lost to Carina Lau at cards, and then won back from Tony Leung; Wang Zuxian was a big fool at cards, and often made everyone laugh; Lin Qingxia was a winning general at the gambling table, obviously bad at cards, but failed every time
If you are lucky, you can make your poker friends mad to death.
Kang Jianfei had not been watching for long when Zhou Runfa's girlfriend Chen Yulian came over.
Seeing Zhou Runfa playing two games, Chen Yulian complained about Zhou Runfa's poor poker skills, and finally the four women started fighting around the gambling table.
Zhou Runfa had long felt awkward playing cards with three women, but now he was finally relieved and sat next to him chatting with Kang Jianfei.
When talking about next year's filmmaking plans, Kang Jianfei pointed to the gambling table and asked: "Ah Fa, what do you think of me making a gambling film?"
Zhou Runfa asked strangely: "A gambling movie like "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants"?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It's a little different, but it's interesting anyway."
Zhou Runfa nodded and said, "Mr. Kang's films are very interesting."
"How about you be the leading actor?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Me?" Zhou Runfa said loudly in surprise.
The four women who were playing cards looked over at the same time. Chen Yulian asked Zhou Runfa: "What are you talking about? You're shocking the kid."
Chow Run-fat explained: "Mr. Kang is planning to make a gambling film and wants me to be the leading actor. I don't even know how to play mahjong. How can I be a good actor in a gambling film?"
"Brother Fa makes a gambling movie? It must be very interesting." Zhong Chuhong said with a smile. She and Chow Run Fat have collaborated on several films, so they have a very good personal relationship.
Wen Bixia took the opportunity to say: "Brother, how about I be the heroine?"
"No, you're too young." Kang Jianfei shook his head.
The girlfriend of the God of Gamblers needs to be beautiful and graceful. Zhong Chuhong is too sexy, Lin Qingxia is too heroic, and Wen Bixia lacks temperament at this stage, so they are not very good candidates. Guan Zhilin's image is very suitable.
In fact, compared to the heroine, the second female lead in "God of Gamblers" has more roles. Should we let Yu Kanping find Wang Zuxian?
Kang Jianfei stayed for a while and checked that the time was about the same. Then he stood up and said to a few people: "You guys continue to play. I'll go to the airport to pick someone up first."
With Kang Jianfei's current status, apart from his woman, there are very few people worthy of him personally picking him up at the airport.
This time Kang Jianfei is picking up Wu Juncai, who is returning to Hong Kong for the New Year.
Driving to the airport, Kang Jianfei soon saw Hu Juncai coming out. There was a girl beside this guy.
Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile, gave Hu Juncai a bear hug after a long separation, and then said: "Who is this beauty? You don't want to introduce her."
Hu Juncai smiled and put his arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "Ye Yeshan, my girlfriend Zishan, this is Kang Jianfei, the big capitalist I often talk about."
Ye Yeshan was about ten years old. Her clothes were very simple, but her face without makeup was very beautiful, and she had an innocent and youthful atmosphere. She generously stretched out her hand, took the initiative to shake hands with Kang Jianfei and said: "Big capitalist
,Hello!"
"Hello, beauty." Kang Jianfei shook hands with Ye Zishan, and then whispered to Hu Juncai, "Good boy, you have learned to tread two boats."
Hu Juncai sighed and said: "Huang Minyi and I broke up long ago."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Isn't it because I took you to Shaolin Temple and separated the two places?"
"Not exactly." Hu Juncai replied.
"This girl has a good temperament. Is her family an official?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Hu Juncai whispered: "Jiangnan Ye family."
How many Ye families can there be in Jiangnan?
Kang Jianfei sighed in his heart, another good cabbage was taken away. She is beautiful and has a powerful family, where can she find such a good girl?
However, if such an affair really happened, Kang Jianfei would definitely stay calm. He would not want to find a powerful woman from his natal family to take care of him. Giving up the entire forest for a big tree would be a bad idea.
The two of them whispered to each other and walked out of the airport in a blink of an eye. Ye Zishan couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what are you two grown men talking about?"
Kang Jianfei started telling lies and said with a smile: "I was asking where did you get a fairy from?"
"Haha, you are really good at talking," Ye Yeshan sighed as she walked out of the airport and looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance. "This is my first time coming to Hong Kong. The buildings here are so tall." rt
