Six films competed for the 1986 Hong Kong summer season. The first one to hit the market was "Crossing the Port" produced by Yindu Organization. It was released for a whole week and only received a pitiful box office of 2.27 million. It was released half a month later.
The total box office during the film was 3.28 million.
Next is Zhang Sijia's directorial debut "The Favorite". This film produced by New Art City starring Lin Zixiang, Zhang Sijia and Miao Qianren had a box office of 4.38 million in the first week, only 2.74 million in the second week, and was only released in the third week.
After only two days, the show was canceled due to low attendance, with a total box office of 7.36 million.
In addition, the Hollywood blockbuster "Top Gun" starring Tom Cruise and Kelly Kelly received more than 170 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America and a global total of 350 million U.S. dollars. Because its box office performance was so good
, "Top Gun" has just been released in North America and was bought by Anle Cinema for release in Hong Kong. Jiang Zhiwen has great expectations for it.
It is a pity that this year's North American annual box office champion blockbuster was not well received by Hong Kong audiences. It only took 4.85 million in box office after three weeks of release, which was only dozens more than the first week figure of "The Favorite"
Ten thousand.
In the 1980s, it was difficult for Hong Kong movies to break into Hollywood, but similarly, Hollywood blockbusters should not just come to Hong Kong to make money.
The real competition for a decent box office is between "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "The Hustlers" and "The Last Day Out".
The three films have been fighting fiercely for more than half a month. "The Courtship" produced by Zeng Zhiwei's Good Friends Film Company was the first to be eliminated, with a box office of 16.63 million in Hong Kong. After "The Courtship" was released, Xinbao Cinemas took over the film
"The Royal Police" produced by Debao, starring Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada, Love Luo and Wang Minde, basically followed the route of "The Royal Sisters".
The release of "The Last Man" had a bit of an impact on "Porn". The latter's attendance plummeted three weeks after its release. It barely survived its fourth week and earned a box office of 24.92 million.
Only DreamWorks' "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has been making great strides without being affected by other films. After being adapted by Kang Jianfei, this movie is more in line with Asian movie-watching habits, and Kang Jianfei and Zhong Chuhong pretend to be cool and cool from time to time.
The heart-warming and humorous scenes, coupled with the explosive action and gunfight scenes, made Hong Kong audiences unable to stop watching it.
It has been in theaters for more than a month. "The Royal Police" that popped up in the middle has been released, and it only made more than 15 million at the box office. The attendance rate of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is still very strong.
Originally scheduled to be released in August was "The Gambler 2", a film produced by Wang Jing, directed by Li Lichi, starring Zhou Xingchi, Leslie Cheung, Irene Wan and Ye Zimei. However, due to the continued popularity of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" continued to be released.
The filming schedule of "The Gambler 2" had to be postponed indefinitely.
From mid-July to early September, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was shown in Oriental Cinemas for 56 days, with a final box office of 38.43 million.
This is another summer movie carnival. Zhong Chuhong’s sexiness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after the movie was released. Some media have begun to call her the "sexy goddess" and the "Marilyn Monroe of the East."
After Kang Jianfei acted cool in the film, he actually gained a large number of female fans. These female fans even wrote to DreamWorks, hoping that Kang Jianfei would continue to direct and star in his next movie.
Although some newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily" criticized it, most of the media praised the film.
"There is no doubt about the quality of director Kang Jianfei's work. What everyone wants to know now is not whether Kang Jianfei's movie will be a hit, but when his movie will break through the 40 million box office mark." - "Oriental Daily".
"The couple fought with heavy weapons in their living room. This kind of action scene left the audience stunned and unable to help laughing. Kang Jianfei's movies are always unexpected." - "Tiantian Kuaibao".
"The whole story is absurd, bizarre and humorous, and many of the dialogues in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are full of profound meaning. It is a rare action movie with brains." - "Ming Pao".
"'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' swept this summer's schedule, and Kang Jianfei once again proved his status as a major commercial director with box office." - "Hong Kong Commercial Daily"
…
The scorching sunshine poured down and the waves sparkled in the swimming pool.
Kang Jianfei was lying under the sun umbrella by the pool with his sunglasses on, drinking juice and talking on Big Brother: "What's going on with Tony Leung? You asked him to turn down all his film appointments in the second half of the year, and give me whatever he can't.
The schedule adjustment period... Yes, the production may start in half a month. The Du Kefeng I asked you to contact has not been settled yet? And the actors, I have sent the script to Oriental Entertainment for a month, how come I only confirmed 4 actors? You asked
Chen Bingkun, hurry up..."
After hanging up the phone and putting it aside, Kang Jianfei stretched out happily. These leisurely days are gone for a few days, and he will start shooting a new film in more than half a month.
Kang Jianfei is planning to cast Tony Leung Ka-fai as the male lead in the new film "Fang Fang". Although many female fans want him to continue directing and acting, but Kang Jianfei knows how much his acting skills are. He still can't play the leading actor in an action movie that is pretentious and cool.
Yes, it is a bit difficult to deal with a deep art film. Among the actors he currently has, Leung Ka-fai is the most suitable for this role.
As for the film's director of photography, Huang Yuetai served as director. In addition, he also wanted to bring in Du Kefeng as the leader of the second photography team. Du Kefeng, the future No. 1 photographer in Asia, had been living in Hong Kong for several years.
It was only a few months ago that he finally came to prominence. The film "I'm So Beautiful" for which he served as cinematographer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Unfortunately, this trophy was eventually won by DreamWorks.
Kang Jianfei wanted to play literature and art this time, and Du Kefeng's photography style was very suitable. If it weren't for the face of the company's elders, and because he was not sure whether the young Du Kefeng was qualified, Kang Jianfei would have wanted to directly let Du Kefeng be the photography director of "Fang Fang"
.
"Crash!"
The water in the swimming pool was splashing everywhere. Ye Zimei, who was wearing a three-point swimsuit, swam to the shore, shook her long wet hair and climbed onto the shore.
The contrast between the 36-inch bust and the 21-inch slender waist is astonishing. Ye Zimei's waist and hips sway as she walks. The slender waist seems to be broken at any time, and a bunch of proud and huge breasts seem to jump out of the bra.
When the man came out, he had the urge to rush over and hold her up.
Ye Zimei walked up to Kang Jianfei with a wiggle, and the little bird sat on Kang Jianfei's lap and said coquettishly: "Brother Fei, it's not easy for me to spend the whole day with you, why are you talking about business all the time?"
Kang Jianfei hugged Ye Zimei into his arms, and the soft breasts stuck to his chest and turned into two huge meat cakes. He kissed Ye Zimei on the face and said with a smile: "Brother Fei has to be busy making money, otherwise
Where does the money come from to support you?”
"I'm not following you for your money. As long as I can be with you every day, I'm willing to go to the street to beg for food." Ye Zimei was in Kang Jianfei's arms, kissing the man's chin and cheeks with her small mouth.
After getting used to the canary life of being kept, the once innocent and self-loving little girl has completely fallen into the trap woven by money and vanity. Ye Zimei doesn't care how many women Kang Jianfei has, she just hopes to have enough money to spend.
, for fear that one day Kang Jianfei would get tired of playing and dump her, so he served her with all his heart every time.
"You're the little goblin who is the best at talking." Kang Jianfei pinched Ye Zimei's face and smiled. Although he knew that the woman was telling lies to please him, Kang Jianfei always liked to listen to lies as truth.
Ye Zimei's little hand grabbed Kang Jianfei's handle all the way down, and then started teasing him playfully, saying in an admiring tone: "Brother Fei, you are really amazing. The movie you made is the box office champion this summer. One movie makes a lot of money."
With enough money, I can buy many villas with sea views.”
Kang Jianfei enjoyed the service of Ye Zimei's little hands and asked with a smile: "Why, two houses are not enough for you. Do you want to change to a sea view house?"
"Brother Fei, why do you say that? I'm not the kind of woman who only cares about money." Ye Zimei was afraid of making the atmosphere tense, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "The box office of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is more than 38 million, why doesn't it continue to be released?
, wait until the box office reaches 40 million before failing?"
Kang Jianfei patted Ye Zimei's shoulder, and Ye Zimei slid off him knowingly, buried her head in Kang Jianfei's waist and began to vomit.
Kang Jianfei stroked Ye Zimei's head and said with emotion: "Hong Kong's population has never exceeded 6 million. If you want to sell a movie with a box office of 40 million, you can only wait for the ticket price to rise."
Ye Zimei didn't speak anymore, all her energy was spent on her little mouth, working hard for a better life in the future.
"House of Gamblers 2" was released after "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released. However, the summer season was basically over at this time, and the box office results did not achieve the expected results.
On the contrary, the first album released by the Beyond band caused a small sensation after it was launched. Although "Cold Rain Night" has currently sold more than 43,000 copies in total and has not yet reached platinum status, some music critics have given it extremely high praise.
evaluation of.
In particular, Teddy Robin, the first member of the Hong Kong band, openly expressed his love for Beyond's songs, saying that they had injected new vitality into the stagnant Hong Kong rock scene.
The comic book adaptation "Pink Girl" starring Qiu Yueqing and Zhou Haimei has officially started filming, and Jiahe has just added two generals: the first world Chinese boxing champion Billy Zhou joined Weihe Company and became Jiahe's contracted artist and Cheng Long's personal bodyguard;
In addition, Luofu Luo, the world female karate champion (in the same category for men and women), has also signed a contract to become a female artist under Golden Harvest.
It's not that Kang Jianfei looks down on these two world champions, but DreamWorks currently doesn't focus on kung fu movies, so it doesn't have much appeal to Billy Chow and Rover Luo.
Seeing that "Fang Fang" was about to start filming, Kang Jianfei suddenly received news: Li Lizhen was slapped twice while filming for another company, and the other party threatened to ban Li Lizhen and bring down DreamWorks.
Kang Jianfei's first reaction after hearing the news was: Where did this funny guy come from? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
