It's not that Kang Jianfei and "Tang Bo Hu Spot the Fragrance of Autumn" are too great, but that the quality of other movies released during the Spring Festival period is too poor. Hong Jinbao's "Dragon Play with Phoenix" may have achieved good box office ten years ago, but now
But it is too outdated and can only attract some loyal kung fu fans, but few young people like to watch it.
The only one that is competitive is "Family Carnival" directed by Ko Chi-sen and starring the Hui brothers. However, this film was released during the New Year period and has a box office of more than 30 million. It is the same as "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"
The schedule was perfectly avoided.
As a result, a situation occurred during this year's Spring Festival. In the first few days after the movie was released, it was hard to get a ticket for "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", while other companies' movies had extremely low attendance rates.
After two weeks of screening, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" has already grossed more than 20 million at the box office, and its weekly box office has begun to show a significant decline. The box office of "Wealth and Fortune", which ranked second during the Spring Festival, has just exceeded 10 million.
After the third week of the Spring Festival, the box office momentum of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" has finally slowed down a lot, but the cumulative box office has sold more than 34 million. At this time, the second-ranked "Wealth and Fortune" has a box office of 14.18 million, ranking second in the box office.
The third-placed "Dragon Show" had a box office of 12.69 million, the fourth-placed "Lucky Star" had a box office of 9.6 million, and the fifth-placed "The Peacock Prince" had a box office of 9.05 million.
Comparing the box office of all the films released during the Spring Festival, we can see how awesome Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn" is, which is equivalent to the combined box office of the second, third and fourth ranked movies.
If changes in ticket prices and exchange rates are taken into account, Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is much higher than the original version. In addition to director Kang Jianfei's ability to attract money, another important reason is that the schedule is really good.
, there was actually no good movie competing with him at the box office during the same period.
The Lantern Festival has not even arrived yet. Jiahe's "The Peacock Prince" was released ahead of schedule, with a box office of just over 10 million, barely holding on to Jiahe's reputation. For a movie that is usually released, a box office of more than 5 million is considered good, but
If Golden Harvest's Spring Festival movie didn't gross over 10 million at the box office, it would be laughable.
The next film to be released is "Lucky Star" produced by Yindu Agency, with a box office of more than 11 million. Then there are "Dragon Plays with Phoenix" and "Rich and Rich". Among them, "Rich and Rich" has a box office of 16.5 million and is a sequel.
It's passable as a movie.
Only Hung Kim-bo is very depressed. When he was filming for Golden Harvest, the box office went from bad to worse. Now that he is filming for Bao Wo, the box office has reached a new low, and he seems to have sunk to the lowest point in his life.
After the Spring Festival movies were released, major theaters began to release new films. Only Oriental Cinemas continued to show "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn".
"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" was released for 35 days. In the last two weeks, many screenings were reduced. The local box office in Hong Kong finally earned 41.55 million.
Another movie with a box office of over 40 million, leaving major film companies and directors speechless.
As "Film Fortnightly" commented: "Kang Jianfei's box office record may only be broken by himself."
Last year, Yi Shu blatantly wrote an article to insinuate and ridicule Li Jiaxin because of the incident involving her nephew Ni Zhen. However, this talented woman has a very straightforward temper, and she has a bad relationship with her nephew Ni Zhen. This time she published an article in "Ming Pao Weekly"
The film review was actually quite pertinent and did not continue to criticize Kang Jianfei:
"I've watched every one of Mr. Kang's movies. "Da Ma Dan", "Fang Fang", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "My Sassy Girl" are my favorites. The literary and romantic temperament revealed in the films can make people happy. Any woman is intoxicated. Sometimes I even wonder if this director suffers from schizophrenia, because sometimes his movies are extremely kitsch and full of shit and piss, which is unbearable.
This is exactly the case with "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". When I heard the title, I was full of expectations, thinking that the director of the University of Connecticut was going to make another love classic. However, when I saw that the leading actor was Zhou Xingchi, I was not satisfied with the film. I have no hope, it can only be a comedy that makes a lot of money at the box office.
As a commercial comedy, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is relatively successful, as evidenced by its terrifying box office. What is surprising is Kang Jianfei's ability to subvert classic stories. It can be said that this movie completely refreshed the audience's understanding of Tang Bohu Understanding Qiuxiang..."
In addition to Kang Jianfei's reputation as a great director once again, actor Zhou Xingchi is extremely popular, even surpassing Zhou Runfa, and has the potential to be the first of the four kings of Oriental Entertainment Company.
Even Gong Li, who is far away in mainland China, has received film offers from many companies, inviting her to star in movie heroines.
The first male supporting actor, Chen Baixiang, has also become popular, and Cheng Peipei and Yuan Danqiong are also getting film appointments, although they are only cast in supporting roles.
"Brother Xing, can you reveal a little bit about your new film plans?"
"Brother Xing, I heard that when you were filming "Tang Bohu", you had a fake scene with Miss Gong Li. Is it true?"
"Brother Xing..."
Outside the Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Zhou Xingchi drove his newly purchased sports car before entering the underground parking lot when he was blocked by reporters stationed outside.
Movie Town is crowded with celebrities every day, and it has naturally become the focus of Hong Kong's gossip paparazzi. They may be able to get exclusive information or discover private scandals about a certain star.
Now that reporters are not allowed to enter the film and television city, paparazzi can only arduously guard the gate and the entrance to the underground parking lot.
"Sorry, give me a moment, I'm in a hurry!" Zhou Xingchi shouted while driving the car forward. Although these reporters were annoying, Zhou Xingchi was still very proud of receiving so much attention.
Not to mention anything else, after the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", "Xingzi" finally evolved perfectly into "Brother Xing". In the past, only a few people called him "Brother Xing", but now all reporters call him that, Zhou Xingchi When I heard this title, I became a little confused.
Just like Zhou Runfa changed from "Fa Zai" to "Fa Ge", not only the title changed, but also his status in the film industry. The same is true for Zhou Xingchi's "Xing Ge".
After entering the administrative building, Zhou Xingchi met Wang Jing in the lobby on the first floor. The two now have a very good relationship, and they started laughing and chatting after meeting.
"Brother Xing, you're doing well, you even changed your hairstyle." Wang Jing patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder and joked.
Zhou Xingchi laughed: "Stop teasing me, just call me Xingzi."
Wang Jing leaned his head over and laughed softly: "How about we go out to celebrate tonight?"
Zhou Xingchi coughed, looked to see if there was no one else around him, and then said: "It would be terrible if a reporter takes a photo."
"Don't worry, there are no reporters in the place I'm looking for." Wang Jing said very confidently.
"Let's talk about it later," Zhou Xingchi said perfunctorily.
The elevator door finally opened, and the two stepped in together. A few minutes later, they arrived at Kang Jianfei's office, but were told by Li Meifeng that Kang Jianfei was in the warehouse of the special effects company.
Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing had no choice but to make another trip. When they arrived at the warehouse, they found models, schematics, and renderings everywhere. Zhou Xingchi: "It seems that Mr. Kang is planning to play something big again. I don't know who will be the protagonist this time."
Wang Jing looked at the huge corpse turtle model and muttered: "Isn't he going to make a horror movie this time? This monster looks so scary."
Zhou Xingchi said: "It may be a science fiction film like "Alien"."
Kang Jianfei was discussing something with Stan Winston. The two were gesturing at the drawings. Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing waited for them to finish talking before walking over.
"What's the matter?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Zhou Xingchi glanced at Wang Jing. Wang Jing hesitated and said, "Jiahe approached us to make a film and appointed me to cooperate with Xingzi."
"Just shoot if he asks you to. Oriental Entertainment Company does not prohibit its artists from cooperating with any company." Kang Jianfei knelt down to check the production materials of Hydra Cypress.
Zhou Xingchi said: "Mr. Kang, it's like this. Jiahe not only asked us to make a movie, but also revealed that it wanted to recruit us."
Kang Jianfei finally understood. Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi were afraid that Kang Jianfei would misunderstand, and that when Jiahe's people came into contact with them, others would probably see them, so they came here to express their innocence.
In fact, with Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi's current fame and talents, they can work in any company. The main reason why they stay in Oriental Entertainment Company is that they are not afraid of harassment by gangs here, followed by Oriental Entertainment Company and DreamWorks
Provide them with platforms and resources.
"It's okay. As long as it doesn't conflict with the company's shooting schedule, it doesn't matter who you shoot for. DreamWorks is not afraid of competition." Kang Jianfei said in a very casual tone.
In other film companies, whether they are directors or actors, at the level of Wang Jing or Zhou Xingchi, the boss will not let them go easily. It is not that they are afraid of people changing jobs, but that they are afraid that competitors will ask them to make a good film, and then in Golden
Kill your own company's movies during the schedule.
Kang Jianfei said that DreamWorks is not afraid of competition. It is easy to say this, but it is confident and domineering enough.
Zhou Xingchi was promoted by Kang Jianfei, and he also became a star brother because of his appearance in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". Naturally, he was sincerely convinced by Kang Jianfei.
After Kang Jianfei expressed his stance, Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi finally felt relieved, and they curiously looked at the various gadgets in the warehouse.
Wang Jing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fei, are you preparing for your new film?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and continued to play with a black thing on the ground.
Wang Jing added: "Making a science fiction film?"
Kang Jianfei asked: "I want to publish a new book, do you know about this?"
"I know, Oriental Daily has been publishing new book previews since the Lantern Festival." Wang Jing suddenly reacted, "You mean, the story that is going to be filmed is the story in that new book?"
Kang Jianfei nodded: "The Chinese version of Indiana Jones." (To be continued...)u
