This phenomenon has caused concern and dissatisfaction among many people in the industry. Many people even advocated reducing theater chains, believing that too many theater chains have caused the proliferation of junk movies. Kang Jianfei raised this issue in an exclusive interview, which immediately resonated with a large number of colleagues.

The Spring Festival has not yet passed, and well-known producers and directors are already quarreling on TV and newspapers.
At the same time, "Tomb Raiders" was released in Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and other places, and the box office began to become popular. In Japan, due to competition from Hollywood blockbusters, "Tomb Raiders" was not scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, so it had to wait for the next release.
A good schedule.
There is no doubt that "Tomb Raiders" quickly became popular in the local area, and its influence is no less than "Terminator 2". These areas belong to the Confucian cultural circle, not to mention the large number of Chinese people. For example, in South Korea, even the history books are in Chinese
, there is no cultural barrier at all when accepting "Tomb Raiders Notes".
Given the strong position of Hong Kong films in Southeast Asia, "Tomb Raiders" was even more sensational than "Terminator 2" when it was released.
"Thailand Daily", Thailand's largest circulation newspaper, called "Tomb Raiders" an "unparalleled adventure movie." The father of Thai action movies, Paddy Viji, who is nearly 60 years old (the same one who married a 38-year-old wife at the age of 83),
He immediately announced that he was preparing an adventure film, an action-adventure film about Western colonists smuggling Buddha heads in Thailand and Thai folk volunteers protecting the Buddha heads.
In a follow-up interview, Padiweji said: "The "Tomb Raiders" directed by Hong Kong Jianfei Kang gave me a lot of inspiration. Why can't there be a Thai version of "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raiders"? We in Thailand have a long history of
The historical and cultural legends, as well as Muay Thai, which is not Chinese Kung Fu, can all be combined to create an excellent adventure action film."
To follow the trend, to put it bluntly, is to follow the trend!
This is true in Hong Kong, this is true in Thailand, and it is also true in South Korea.
After Kang Jianfei's "Tomb Raiders Notes" became a hit, it did not help in the promotion of computer special effects. Instead, it caused a wave of follow-up trends.
After "My Sassy Girl", the movie starring Wu Zhenyu once again dominated the Korean film market, and Wu Zhenyu's fame in Korea continued to soar. However, Korean audiences don't seem to like Zhang Yan's beauty, and she has not received widespread recognition in Korea.
Welcome, charming and charming actresses such as Wang Zuxian, Li Saifeng, and Rosamund Kwan are more popular in Korea.
However, the problem of the heroine did not affect the box office of "Tomb Raider" in South Korea at all. Although it failed to break the movie viewing record set by "My Sassy Girl", "Tomb Raider" still ranked second in the Korean box office list.
.
There are always some inexplicably angry young people in South Korea. Seeing that the top two box office spots in South Korea over the years have been occupied by films by Kang Jianfei, a foreigner, they actually went to protest to the South Korean government and demanded that the Hong Kong film quota be reduced to protect the development of local Korean films.
.
Some Korean film producers, who make money by buying Western films, were originally dissatisfied with the dumping of Hong Kong films in South Korea. This time, they took advantage of the topic and took advantage of the topic to raise the boycott of Hong Kong films to a patriotic level.
There is no need for Hong Kong film companies to do public relations. South Korea has its own group of film producers who make money from Hong Kong films, and these people are often richer. They immediately manipulate public opinion and start a war of words.
Kang Jianfei thus became what some Koreans call a "cultural invader." In the following years, his name was used in protest by angry youths in Korea from time to time. However, it was probably because of his feelings that Kang Jianfei once wanted to promote himself.
movie. In an interview with the Korean media, he said that he liked Korea very much and even said a lame Korean greeting. Many Korean angry youth suddenly turned from fans to fans, praising Kang Jianfei as a director with a very aesthetic vision.
The unreasonable behavior of Koreans is actually a manifestation of low self-esteem. As an internationally renowned director, Kang Jianfei's films often make money in the Korean market. Naturally, this will arouse the dissatisfaction of angry young people. And when he praised the country of Korea
At that time, the vanity of those angry young people was greatly satisfied - the directors of Cornell University like South Korea so much, which shows that our country is very excellent and great.
In any case, Kang Jianfei made money anyway.
Not only has it turned to the box office of the movie, the newly established Oriental Publishing House has already published the first volume of "Tomb Raiders" in Hong Kong, and has also contacted publishers in South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and other places to discuss the matter.
Although Kang Jianfei often burned bridges across rivers, his basic credibility was still there. "Tomb Robbery Notes" was still serialized in Ma Chengkun's "Oriental Daily". It was not transferred to "Tiantian Daily", but the publication of the collection did not matter to Ma Chengkun.
.
Speaking of "Tiantian Daily", we have to mention Huang Yulang. After he sold many of his media outlets to Kang Jianfei, he finally had critical working capital. Although his lawsuit is still not over, the bank will not give him any money for the time being.
He provided loans, but the whole Yulang International finally came back to life.
Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, also formed Tianxia Publishing Company with his friends, and began serializing the "Wind and Cloud" series of comics after the Spring Festival, which once again aroused the popularity of Hong Kong comics fans.
The reason why Ma Rongcheng left Yulang International was not because he saw Huang Yulang was involved in lawsuits and jumped ship. After all, the copyright of Ma Rongcheng's famous work "Heroes of China" was in Huang Yulang's hands. After leaving Yulang International, Ma Rongcheng had to start all over again.
.
Ma Rongcheng's departure from Yulang International was forced. In April last year, he was threatened not to write comics for Huang Yulang. Later, he was ambushed and his hands were almost chopped off. It took him half a year to recover from his injuries.
After this horrific incident, how could Ma Rongcheng still dare to stay at Yulang International?
The reason why Huang Yulang took the initiative to sell Tiantian Daily to Kang Jianfei instead of selling it to a buyer who had always wanted to acquire it was because he suspected that those people were responsible for Ma Rongcheng's axing.
Ma Rongcheng was Huang Yulang's cash cow. The other party used violent means to force Ma Rongcheng away. How could this not make Huang Yulang angry and jealous?
No matter what, Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, began to create a comic called "Wind and Cloud", which became a hit during the Spring Festival this year.
…
"Brother Fei, my mother's 55th birthday is next week and she is celebrating her birthday in Canada." He Chaoqiong handed Kang Jianfei a towel after returning from morning exercise and asked tentatively, "How about you come too?"
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Canada is so far away, what should I do? If she celebrates her birthday in Hong Kong or Macau, I will definitely go to congratulate her."
He Chaoqiong's expression was a little gloomy. Ever since her mother Lan Qiongying planned to announce their marriage last time and also exposed the fact that they had a son to reporters, the relationship between Kang Jianfei and Lan Qiongying has been tense.
Fortunately, Lan Qiongying immigrated to Canada last year and has rarely returned to Hong Kong recently, so nothing unpleasant has happened to her yet.
As for Lan Qiongying’s immigration to Canada, she actually went there to help King Ho take care of his business. Ever since it was confirmed that Macau would return, King Ho has been making double plans. While secretly contacting the mainland, he secretly transferred property and invested.
Canada can run away at any time if something is wrong.
Lan Qiongying's father has already immigrated to Canada and has many relatives there, so he is naturally the best person to take care of business in Canada.
Kang Jianfei was happy to be at peace. After his mother-in-law immigrated to Canada, she no longer nagged him in front of him, which made his married life with He Chaoqiong much more harmonious.
Originally, He Chaoqiong wanted to adjust the relationship between her mother and her husband, but after seeing Kang Jianfei's reaction, she temporarily gave up the idea. Although Kang Jianfei was smiling when he spoke just now, his attitude of rejection was obvious, and he did not want to go to his mother-in-law at all.
Happy birthday.
"I will see you off after the Lantern Festival.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Xiaoxin will be 4 years old soon. It's time to go to kindergarten and get to know more friends."
He Chaoqiong said with some resentment: "I have been bored these past few years. When Xiaoxin goes to kindergarten, I also want to find something to do."
"What are you going to do?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"I don't know," He Chaoqiong was a little confused, "My dad asked me to go back and help him, but I haven't decided yet."
Kang Jianfei's male chauvinist mentality started to trouble him again. If his woman wanted to do something, she would do it for herself. What kind of logic was it to go back to her parents' house and help her father-in-law do things?
"Why don't you come to Oriental Media Group, work in the middle level for two years first, and then slowly take over." Kang Jianfei said.
He Chaoqiong had been raising children at home for several years, and she had long been bored and panicked, but she didn't know what to do for a while. After hearing what Kang Jianfei said, she agreed: "Okay, I'll give it a try first.
"
"You can definitely do it." Kang Jianfei held He Chaoqiong's hand and said.
There is no doubt about He Chaoqiong's business ability. A diploma from St. Clair University in the United States is not enough to explain anything. Her performance in the shopping mall in another time and space is truly dazzling.
At first, He Chaoqiong grew up under the wings of her father, the gambling king. However, when she was only in her 40s, her net worth had already surpassed that of her father, gambling king He, and that was without counting her shares in Shun Tak Group and SJM Holdings.
(The latter two groups are both properties of He Gambling King).
When Kang Jianfei time traveled, He Chaoqiong was already the richest woman in Hong Kong, and was also one of the shareholders of TVB.
Of course, He Chaoqiong did not have much business experience at this time, and she had to go through practical work to develop it. Kang Jianfei allowed her to join Oriental Media because he was optimistic about her potential abilities.
As for the fire in the backyard and the division of property among the wives, that will happen after Kang Jianfei dies. From Kang Jianfei's understanding of He Chaoqiong, this wealthy lady has a temper that will not be tolerated. If she is allowed to suffer from cowardice,
If she fights for property, she will definitely choose to give up and then rely on her own ability to earn it back. (To be continued...) u
