It was pouring rain outside the window, and you could still hear the sound of rain hitting the glass after closing the window.
Among the sounds of wind and rain, there were occasionally one or two female screams. Gradually, the wind and rain outside became lighter, and inside the house there was only the sound of breathing after strenuous exercise.
Kang Jianfei leaned on Sophie Marceau, and kissed her cheeks and earlobes with his lips, using tenderness to warm the French rose that was still in its lingering glory.
After resting for five or six minutes, Sophie Marceau's breathing finally calmed down. She hugged Kang Jianfei with her arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed the man's kiss and caress.
Over the past month, the two have been together almost every day. Even if Sophie Marceau is busy attending various events during the day, she will rush back to have dinner with Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei did not do the reckless behavior on Christmas Day again, but the relationship between the two became more and more intimate. Until tonight, Sophie Marceau agreed to come to the hotel where he was staying, and they naturally rolled into bed.
Feeling Kang Jianfei's warm breath on her cheek, Sophie Marceau smiled happily and said: "Louise often shows off how comfortable it is to go to bed with a man. It seems that she is not telling lies."
"Who is Louise?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"My middle school classmate," Sophie Marceau said, "when she was in school, she had three boyfriends at the same time."
Kang Jianfei got off Sophie Marceau, held her in his arms and asked, "What about you, how many boyfriends have you had?"
Sophie Marceau recalled: "I had three crushes. One was my math teacher in elementary school, one was my senior in middle school. The other was Director Binondeau."
"You've never really been in love?" Kang Jianfei asked in surprise.
"There is no chance. When I was in elementary school, I wrote a love letter to my math teacher, but he wrote back to me and said that he was married." Sophie Marceau told her interesting story, "Later, I fell in love with him when I was in middle school.
I fell in love with a senior in my senior year, but before I had time to confess to him, I was approached by Director Binondo to film "First Kiss". Then I found that Director Binondo was much more mature than the senior, so I fell in love with Binondo.
director."
"Director Binondo seems to be quite young," Kang Jianfei vaguely remembered.
"Yes, I was only 13 years old when I filmed "The First Kiss," but Binoteau was already 55 years old." Sophie Marceau said with a smile, "I had just come into contact with movies at that time and didn't understand anything. I just felt that the director was so awesome.
.But before "First Kiss" was finished, I couldn't stand his bad temper. When I found out that "First Kiss 2" was going to be filmed, and that Binondeau would be the director, I felt like the sky was falling."
"Where is your senior?" Kang Jianfei's hand gently caressed her breasts. The shape was perfect. And the pearl at the top was actually pink.
"By the time I returned to school after filming "First Kiss", he had already graduated." After Sophie Marceau finished speaking, she stared at Kang Jianfei and asked, "What about you, besides Miss Lin and me, how many lovers have you had?
?”
Kang Jianfei said without blushing, "Not a lot."
Sophie Marceau said: "Aren't you Chinese very conservative about sex?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am also a very conservative Chinese man. I never look for call girls or one-night stands."
Sophie Marceau said angrily: "You are right and confident in saying that you can only ride on a few boats."
Kang Jianfei did not defend himself, but kissed Sophie Marceau's seductive little mouth. He turned over and pressed on that beautiful breast, engaging in the second battle of the night.
…
“Sophie Marceau loves Hong Kong directors.”
"Sophie Marceau, known as the Kiss of France, recently became famous again with "Fang Fang". Just like the plot of "Fang Fang", our French beauty fell in love with a Chinese. Our reporter witnessed it last night
I saw the two of them having dinner at an Italian restaurant and returning to the hotel where the Chinese director was staying..."
Not to Kang Jianfei's surprise, the next day's newspaper indeed contained news about his affair with Sophie Marceau. In fact, after being together with the popular Sophie Marceau for nearly a month, the news about them only appeared in the newspaper.
The scandal has already dulled the sense of smell of China’s paparazzi.
Kang Jianfei immediately announced a press conference and called in director Alain Conot, insisting that he and Sophie Marceau were working together. Then he turned a deaf ear to the reporter's in-depth inquiries and just turned the topic to his new film "Roses".
"superior.
"Roses are beautiful, especially French roses, but beautiful roses often have sharp thorns, and Sophie Marceau will play such a thorny beauty. She is the daughter of the great swordsman d'Artagnan.
While possessing a peerless appearance, she also possesses the superb swordsmanship of her father. This time, Sophie Marceau will lose her past image of an innocent girl and appear in front of movie fans with a brand new look..." Kang Jianfei said at the press conference
After talking about the new film, he handed the microphone to director Alain Conot, and then Sophie Marceau talked about the script creation process of the new film.
As for the questions raised by reporters about the scandal, they were answered vaguely, much to the dismay of the French reporters who came over excitedly.
While reporters were busy discussing Sophie Marceau's scandal and new film, the screening of "Fang Fang" in France finally came to a perfect end, with the final number of moviegoers reaching 5.38 million, and the specific box office revenue was US$21.83 million.
This is an unprecedented good result for a Chinese-language film. Even among local French films, there are not many films that can exceed this number.
No matter how much people in the French film circle value art, French film producers, like their counterparts around the world, pay more attention to the commercial value of movies and stars.
The high box office of "Fang Fang" means that the male and female protagonists Sophie Marceau and Tony Leung Ka Fai have extremely high popularity and influence in France. With this film, Sophie Marceau became second only to the three major actresses.
The fourth largest actress in France, all she lacks is a trophy to prove herself, because the other three actresses are all international movie queens, and Sophie Marceau has only won one César Award for young actresses so far.
Trophy.
Kang Jianfei finally became a celebrity in France because of his acceptance speech at the Cannes Awards ceremony and his scandal with Sophie Marceau. And last year, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" starring him and Chung Chuhong, also took advantage of the situation to hit the French screen.
Successfully getting a box office of 9.05 million US dollars, actually made Zhong Chuhong a little popular.
A week before "Fang Fang" was released in France, it was also released in several countries and regions in Europe and Asia. Although the box office was high and low, the reputation was unanimously good.
Especially in Hong Kong, after a month-long publicity and fermentation, the audience's expectations for "Fang Fang" have risen to the extreme.
Outside the ticket offices of several major theaters in the Oriental Cinema Line, long queues of people would line up to buy tickets every evening. In sharp contrast, the entrances of Golden Princess and Xinbao Cinemas were deserted.
Lee Soo-hyun's "King Kong" and Mecca's "Windfall" were blockbusters, the kind of blockbusters that hit outer space. In addition, the sequel to the Hollywood imported blockbuster "King Kong" also had dismal box office figures.
In this year's summer season, the three most successful films at the box office were "Fang Fang", "Ying Ning" and "Oriental Condor".
According to common sense, the movie-watching preferences of Hong Kong audiences tend to be ghost films like "Infant Ning", followed by Hung Kam-bo's passionate war film "Eastern Condor", and finally the literary romance film "Fang Fang".
In terms of cast, "Infant Ning" starring Zhang Guorong and Zhao Yazhi are popular film and television stars, and "Oriental Condor" has gathered a large number of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japanese action and comedy stars, far more than Tony Leung Ka-fai and Sophie Martyr.
Suo's reputation is better in Hong Kong.
However, there is also the influence of the director behind these factors. Don’t you see that a movie made by Lao Mouzi with a few students will attract more expectations and attention than a movie made by a second-rate director with stars?
Among the directors of the three films, Hu Jinquan has long been outdated. Hong Jinbao is much more famous as an actor than Kang Jianfei, but as a director he is far inferior.
There's no way, Kang Jianfei's movies in recent years have all been hits, and they've never had bad reviews.
The long-term brand guarantee makes the audience believe that the movie produced by Kang Jianfei will not be a bad movie. Many movie fans choose to watch "Fang Fang" without saying anything.
Of course, there are also older and less educated viewers who cursed after watching "Fang Fang" and then went to watch "Ying Ning" and "Oriental Condor" to enjoy themselves.
But the vast majority of young viewers are full of praise for "Fang Fang" - even if some people don't like it, they will say that this movie is well made, and that a movie that won awards at international film festivals and was a big hit in France will not be good to watch.
?
A week after the movie was released, the audience in Hong Kong was divided into several groups. Older people basically liked to watch "Ying Ning", some male audiences liked to watch "Oriental Condor", and young audiences liked to watch "Fang Fang".
The first-week box office results disappointed the ambitious Hong Jinbao. Among the three movies, "Oriental Condor" only sold 9.81 million, while "Fang Fang" and "Ying Ning" sold 16.83 million and 12.44 million respectively.
Hung Kim-bo's attempt to make a war-type Hong Kong film was a minor failure. The financial investment was not proportional to the box office output, and it was far less profitable than the comedy films he made.
After the second week of screening, the box office of "Ying Ning" dropped by 8.06 million, a drop of 35% which is relatively normal; although "Oriental Condor" did not perform well in the first week, its box office in the second week was 6.62 million, a drop of 6.62 million.
Only 32%.
In comparison, "Fang Fang" is quite unbelievable, with a box office of 12.28 million in its second week, a drop of only 27%, and it still maintains a strong box office momentum.
It can be said that "Fang Fang" has formed a box office consumption inertia. Many people did not intend to watch it, but because everyone around them and the media were discussing the movie, they walked into the cinema in confusion. Some viewers originally did not intend to watch it.
I wanted to watch "Oriental Condor" and "Ying Ning", but my girlfriend dragged me to watch "Fang Fang". Anyway, the box office data cannot be explained by common sense. (To be continued...)u
