"Shushan" was a hit at the global box office, so naturally a celebration party was held.
Just a few days after the launch of Macau Satellite TV and the eve of the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", DreamWorks held a large-scale celebration banquet for Xu Ke Studio. At least half of the contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency were invited to attend, and some independent
Many directors and actors also came.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on the success of "Shushan", and I also wish Mr. Kang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" a hit at the box office!" Zeng Zhiwei got out of the car and happened to meet Kang Jianfei. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed, congratulating with a smile on his face.
Seriously speaking, Zeng Zhiwei was originally the film production manager of DreamWorks, but he actually left DreamWorks to make a film with Hong Jinbao and Makka, and the film he produced even competed with "Shushan" to steal the audience. This is a very bad behavior.
.
But Zeng Zhiwei is really good at life. Not only did he talk to Kang Jianfei privately several times before leaving DreamWorks, but he also took care of and cooperated with Oriental Entertainment Agency in various ways. For example, among the actors in "Wealth Train", three points
One of them is an artist under Kang Jianfei, and the male and female protagonists of the next movie of his good friend's film company are also Leslie Cheung and Wen Bixia respectively.
"Shu Mountain" did not invite Zeng Zhiwei to the celebration banquet today, but he took the initiative to attend and wished Kang Jianfei's new film a great success as soon as they met. Can Kang Jianfei drive people away?
"Your "Wealth Train" also sold well, congratulations to Boss Zeng!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
Zeng Zhiwei quickly said humbly: "In front of Mr. Kang, I am not a boss."
While the two were chatting and laughing, entertainment reporters had gathered around them. Although some people were curious about why Zeng Zhiwei appeared here, the focus of the reporters was still on Kang Jianfei.
"Mr. Kang, there are rumors that the global box office of "Shushan" has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Is it true?" A reporter asked first.
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course it's not true. It's still several million dollars short."
The reporters immediately let out a collective exclamation. Several questions followed were related to "Shu Mountain". They waited until Kang Jianfei quickly entered the elevator before turning the topic to Kang Jianfei's new film "A Chinese Ghost Story".
The reporter asked: "Mr. Kang, "The Best Partner: Saving the Chapo from Thousands of Miles Away" is coming fiercely. Are you sure that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will win the box office?"
Kang Jianfei answered ambiguously: "I have confidence in my movie."
The reporter asked: "But "The Best Partner" has Xu Guanjie, Makka, Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin, Zhang Sijia, Wu Huizhong, Cao Dahua, Shi Jian, Guan Dexing and many other stars to join this time, and the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story"
Wang Zuxian doesn’t seem to have enough weight.”
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "She doesn't have enough weight now. She will have weight when "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released."
After saying these domineering words, Kang Jianfei had already stepped into the elevator. The reporters wanted to chase him in for interviews, but were blocked by his bodyguards.
Lin Qingxia, who had been following Kang Jianfei, spoke at this moment: "Afei, do you have any shares in Macau Satellite TV?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Although the Portuguese and Macau governments have announced the shareholding structure of Macau Satellite TV, even few people in Macau have gone back to pay attention, let alone other places. Now that Macau Satellite TV has just become popular in Taiwan and Nanyang, few people really know about Macau Satellite TV.
Kang Jianfei holds shares.
Lin Qingxia also discovered the Macau Satellite TV program. From the fact that the host and the guests were all people from the Oriental Entertainment Agency, she realized that the real boss of Macau Satellite TV is Kang Jianfei. She smiled and said: "I just came back from Taiwan, and Macau Satellite TV is now making news
The bureau and the police department are having a huge headache.”
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Political factors aside, with Taiwan's current economic development speed, it will be a matter of time before martial law is lifted."
It’s really funny to say that Taiwan has now developed into a large international factory. The output of dozens of commodities ranks first in the world. Taiwanese people with bulging pockets have already traveled all over the world, but there is still such a weird thing as martial law on the island.
The law exists, and according to the regulations, ordinary people are not allowed to listen to or watch overseas radio and television. Otherwise, they will be regarded as collaborators and treasonous spies.
Macau Satellite TV's audience in Taiwan has expanded, creating countless "spies" in just a few days.
Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia went upstairs smoothly, but at this moment Xu Ke, Li Saifeng, He Jiajin and others downstairs were unable to move. As the main creative staff of the movie, they are the real protagonists today.
…
""Shushan" has a global box office of US$96.75 million, surpassing the US$85 million box office of Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", becoming the number one Chinese-language film at the box office!"
After "Oriental Daily" obtained the specific box office data, it published a front-page headline the next day, and also reported in the main text the popularity of "Shushan" in Japan.
In fact, seriously speaking, although the box office of "Shu Mountain" is higher than that of Bruce Lee's "The Way of the Dragon", taking into account the currency inflation for more than ten years - during this period, the ticket price of Hong Kong movies has increased six times.
The number of moviegoers was far less than that of "Way of the Dragon".
But you don’t need to worry about this when doing news reports. And readers generally don’t think deeply about it. After receiving an advertising fee from DreamWorks, "Oriental Daily" began to use the news of "Shushan" to promote Kang Jianfei's story.
The new film "A Chinese Ghost Story" claims that the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were created by the original crew of "Shu Mountain" and is a companion piece to "Shu Mountain" directed by Kang Jianfei himself.
Many movie fans who have not read "Liao Zhai" believe in the statement that "Shushan" is a companion piece. They have booked movie tickets for "A Chinese Ghost Story" and are eagerly waiting for the movie to be released.
"The companion piece to "Shu Mountain"," Lei Juekun threw the newspaper on the coffee table and said with a smile, "DreamWorks did everything they could to promote their new film."
Mecca patted his chest and said, "Mr. Lei, don't worry this time. We made "The Best Partner: Thousands of Miles to Save the Chapo" with our collective efforts, and it's no accident that the box office will reach 30 million."
"You guys, please focus more on making movies." Lei Juekun became tired after saying a few words. His physical condition has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.
The stories of Mecca's stock trading and Shitian's real estate speculation have long been spread in the circle, and the two parties involved are not ashamed but proud of it, because the two of them did make a lot of money from stocks and real estate. If it weren't for Xinyi City
Last year saw serious losses. Neither Majia nor Shi Tian have the intention to make movies themselves. Anyway, there are many directors signed by New Art City now, so let them just mess around as they please. As bosses, they can grasp the general direction.
In the "Best Partner" series, two of them have a box office of more than 30 million, so Mecca has great confidence in the box office of this one.
This year’s Spring Festival also has four movies released at the same time. In addition to "The Best Partner: Save the Chapo" and "A Chinese Ghost Story," there are also Debao Film Company's "Eight Happiness" and Golden Harvest Pictures' "Youth Mission House."
It is worth mentioning that the male and female protagonists of "Youth Mission" are Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian respectively. Both of them are popular actors in TVB, but now they are allowed to participate in the filming of Jiahe's movie.
Tony Leung and Eric Tsang are the lucky ones. The most popular ones in TVB are the Five Tigers and Kowloon Girls. Currently, Liu Dehua from the Five Tigers and Lam Jieying from the Kowloon Girls are both banned.
The reason why Andy Lau was shunned by TVB was because he was too loyal. He had already been unhappy with TVB because he complained that the five-year contract was too long, and he also planned for the five tigers to change jobs collectively. In the end, both New Art City and Golden Harvest were only willing to sign him and Tony Leung Chiu-wei.
The other three were not interested, but Liu Dehua always insisted on signing with the five of them.
During the results period, TVB found out about this and first got through Tony Leung's job. After Tony Leung gave up on changing jobs, Miao Qiaowei and the other three people also stayed at TVB obediently. In the end, Liu Dehua was the only one who persisted, and ended up being hidden for more than a year.
As for Lam Jieying being hidden in the snow, she asked for it. This beauty has the title of "Beautiful Mount Wutai". "Mount Wutai" once gathered most of the female stars in Hong Kong. One can imagine how beautiful Lam Jieying is.
Lan Jieying was highly praised by TVB from the beginning. She felt that the five-year contract was too long, so she had to change the contract to two years - changing the contract was something that even Andy Lau could not do. Before Lan Jieying could become popular, she
Because she was unwilling to cut her hair short during the filming of "Hong Kong", she was put into hiding. After a few months, she was re-enabled. As a result, she had an unpleasant quarrel with the director and producer. In the end, the producer found an excuse to be late for filming and continued to ban her.
…
Tomorrow is the official start of the Spring Festival holiday, and several major companies have scheduled movie screenings for Friday afternoon.
According to the lunar calendar, today is the last day of work this year. After get off work, many people go "crazy", or go home early to sleep, or sing karaoke with friends, and many people choose Go to the cinema with your girlfriend or family.
At the Kwun Tong Theater in Kowloon, there was a long queue to buy tickets before 7pm.
A man finally got to the front of the line and said, "We're going to play two shows of "A Chinese Ghost Story." I want the seat in the middle."
"Only the front row is available for the 7:20 show. Do you want the 8:30 show?" the ticket salesman asked.
"I'll be here at 8:30." The man thought for a while and said.
"One ticket is 23 yuan, two tickets are 46 yuan," said the ticket salesman.
The man was surprised: "23 yuan a piece? How can it be so expensive!"
The ticket seller explained: "The ticket price of the movie has been rising for several days, and the ticket you bought is a good location during the prime time period. It is definitely more expensive, but it will be cheaper if you watch it during the day."
When Kang Jianfei first traveled through time, the average movie ticket price in Hong Kong was less than 7 yuan, which has nearly tripled in a few years.
The man didn't care anymore and bought two movie tickets. After leaving, he suddenly said to his girlfriend: "The guy who bought the tickets looks familiar."
His girlfriend also looked back and exclaimed: "Is that the ticket seller Liu Dehua?"
The headlines on the entertainment pages of Hong Kong newspapers in the next few days were not that "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Best Partner" were a hit at the box office, but that the popular star Andy Lau actually went to work as a ticket boy in a movie theater after being banned by TVB.
