At the end of September, "The Dragon Back to School" starring Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Yan was all canceled, with a box office of 43.82 million in Hong Kong, ranking first in the Hong Kong movie box office list this year.
Zhou Xingchi finally became a legitimate Star Master, and his salary increased to more than 8 million. The only person who can compete with him in salary is Cheng Long.
Zhang Yan, who once again played the role of a vase in "Fight Back to School", has become more and more famous. Her salary has increased to 1.5 million, which is definitely a treatment reserved for first-line actresses.
The director of "Fight Back to School", Chen Jiashang, also became an instant hit. He previously opened a film company with his friends, specializing in sketch-style comedies, and he is somewhat famous. But this time he really went big, and the local box office exceeded 4,000
There are only a few Hong Kong films made by Wan, and Chen Jiashang is considered a god this time.
Striking while the iron is hot, Chen Jiashang and Zhou Xingchi have been working closely together to come up with the script of "The Warriors". They are currently casting for the film and are preparing to start filming in October at the most. The core cast is still Zhou Xingchi and Ng Mong-tat.
and Zhang Yan.
Before "The Dragon Back to School" was released, Yongsheng Pictures' follow-up film "Inspector 500 Million" had already been released in Jiahe Cinema for two weeks. At this time, the summer season was over, but "Inspector 500 Million"
The box office of "Lei Luo" is still approaching the 20 million mark, heading towards 30 million.
It is worth mentioning that "Inspector Lei Luo" is divided into two episodes. After the first episode is shown, the next one will be released immediately. The box office of one episode is more than 20 million yuan, which adds up to more than 50 million yuan. The Xiang brothers'
This investment made a lot of money.
Fast forward to October, and the main project of the "Jurassic Park" filming base on Mirror Island was nearly completed, but Kang Jianfei was hampered by personal matters and continued to stay in Hong Kong.
After Guan Zhilin gave birth to a son, Li Yanshan gave birth to another daughter for Kang Jianfei, named Kang Xinyan.
Li Yanshan had to keep a much lower profile when giving birth to a girl this time. Except for a few close friends, the media did not receive any news, and it was not exposed until a few years later.
In addition to Li Yanshan giving birth to a daughter, Kang Jianfei stayed in Hong Kong to attend the wedding of his cousin Wu Ruiqing.
Wu Ruiqing was already in his twenties and had several girlfriends like a whirlwind. This time he accidentally made the woman pregnant, so he had to bite the bullet and get married.
There have been frequent changes in the top management of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group over the years, but my cousin Zhou Mingfang has been steadily rising to the top and has been the group's CFO for several years. Not only that, Zhou Mingfang also used her spare time to get a bachelor's degree in economics and business administration from the University of Hong Kong.
Bachelor's degree, currently studying for a Master's degree in Economics.
Another cousin, Liang Ying, is still running the canteen and supermarket in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, and her small business is quite prosperous.
On the contrary, Kang Jianfei's cousin Wu Chenggang had no enterprising spirit and retired early at home, fishing and playing chess, living a leisurely and comfortable life.
Wu Ruiqing worked as a scriptwriter for Kang Jianfei for two years, and as an assistant director for Ang Lee for another year. Now he has directed several small-budget films independently, and his box office results can only be considered passing.
Even putting aside the relationship with Kang Jianfei, this family is quite influential in the Oriental Group. Wu Ruiqing's wedding scene can definitely be described as star-studded, with dozens of famous stars. Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Runfa,
Li Lianjie and other big-name movie stars, except for those who are filming, everything they can come is here.
Such a grand event is inevitable, but only a few reporters from major newspapers were allowed in, and the others could only brave the cold wind on the road outside.
Guan Shan and Wu Chenggang have been old friends for decades. They happened to be in Hong Kong again, so this time everyone from the Guan family came to attend the wedding. What left Kang Jianfei most speechless was that Guan Zhilin actually appeared with her son who was just one month old.
Time stole the limelight from the bride and groom, and reporters rushed over to take photos of mother and son like vicious dogs snatching shit.
But the one who stole the show even more was Kang Jianfei, who attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage. There was no way around it, as more than 90% of the guests present were from Oriental Entertainment Group.
"Mr. Kang!"
"Good day, boss!"
"Director Kang..."
They were greeted by greetings all the way. Kang Jianfei's head felt sore when he returned the greetings. In the end, he simply hid away and smoked alone to relieve his boredom.
Unexpectedly, Wu Ruiqing also hid in the room and stood in the corner of the corridor, smoking a cigarette. He looked like he was dying of cancer.
Kang Jianfei joked: "Boy, why do you look so unhappy with a straight face?"
"I've been tricked. I don't want to get married at all." Wu Ruiqing took a sharp sip.
"The child in the bride's belly is not yours?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Wu Ruiqing smiled bitterly and said: "If it's not my talent, then I don't need to get married..."
After Wu Ruiqing explained in detail, Kang Jianfei learned that the bride was a young girl who had just graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. She had sex with Wu Ruiqing after drinking.
At that time, Wu Ruiqing had a real girlfriend, but the young girl went directly to Wu Ruiqing's father with the hospital test report. Wu Chenggang was a face-saving man, and he also desperately wanted to have a grandson, so he forced Wu Ruiqing to marry him.
"Where's the groom, where's the groom!" Someone kept shouting outside.
Kang Jianfei gloated and patted his cousin on the shoulder: "Boy, face the reality, it's your turn."
Wu Ruiqing threw the cigarette butt hard on the ground, exhaled and walked out.
Swear, kiss, exchange rings, compete for bouquets...
Kang Jianfei only drank a few drinks at the lively wedding banquet, and then he hurriedly escaped. He was busier than the groom. The top executives of the company, artists, and directors lined up to toast him. How could Kang Jianfei dare to continue?
Stay.
After making several phone calls and confirming that Zhou Haimei was at home, Kang Jianfei asked the driver to turn around and go to her place.
"I'm so hungry, go and make some noodles." Kang Jianfei said as soon as he entered the door.
Zhou Haimei couldn't help but laugh and said: "You just finished attending the wedding and you are complaining that you are hungry. The groom will not give you food?"
"Go and cook some noodles!" Kang Jianfei patted her buttocks.
Zhou Haimei lives in a house given to her by Kang Jianfei. As for her family, they live in another house that Zhou Haimei bought for her parents with her own money from filming.
Soon a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles was served, and Kang Jianfei rolled up his sleeves and ate it hungrily.
Seeing his gluttonous expression, Zhou Haimei was so happy that his eyes turned into crescent moon buds as he handed him a tissue and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"You want to eat some too?" Kang Jianfei looked at her and smiled.
Zhou Haimei shook his head and said, "I just ate it."
Kang Jianfei picked up the noodles and sent them over: "Come on, open your mouth, and I'll feed you."
Zhou Haimei had no choice but to open his mouth wide and take a small bite, chewing and swallowing it gracefully, with a hint of shyness on his face.
Although he had been with Kang Jianfei for many days, and even served this man several times with Wan Qiwen, Zhou Haimei still couldn't let go in front of him.
While eating a bowl of noodles, Kang Jianfei held Zhou Haimei in his arms and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"
Zhou Haimei moved his body gently, changed to a comfortable position and lay on Kang Jianfei, and said: "I just finished filming "The Supremes", and I have been busy at home these days. I was supposed to start a new drama, but suddenly there was a sudden change in the stage.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has to be broadcast, and other dramas have been postponed."
"Isn't "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first broadcast on Macau Satellite TV?" Kang Jianfei said in surprise. His original positioning was the entire Asian TV drama market.
"You don't know?" Zhou Haimei explained, "Some time ago, TVB's "No Regrets" received huge ratings and overwhelmed our "The Supremes". So the station director discussed with East TV Company to let Phoenix
Taiwan broadcasts "The Swordsman" first to come to the rescue."
In another time and space, "No Soul in This Life" was the Hong Kong ratings champion in 1991, starring Lai Lai, Zhou Haimei, Wen Zhaolun and Shao Meiqi. Although the starring roles of Li and Zhou are now changed to Luo Jialiang and Meng Jiahui, its plot and quality are still the same
Excellent, it has grabbed a lot of viewership share for TVB.
Kang Jianfei didn't know about this, and he didn't even bother to interfere much with the affairs of Phoenix TV and Dongshi Company. Since the two companies had already discussed it, he didn't bother to interfere anymore.
In mid-October, TVB's "No Regrets" came to its finale, with the highest ratings reaching 58. This was a miracle in the 1990s when ratings had been declining year after year.
And just the day after "No Regrets in This Life" ended, Phoenix TV's Lu Songxian and Li Ruotong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially launched. r1152
