Outside the theater, He Chaoyi went straight to Kang Jianfei's Cadillac, turned to the bodyguard and said, "I'm going to my brother-in-law's house tonight, won't you guys want to follow me?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said, "Miss, before you go out tomorrow, please call us first."
"I know, it's really annoying!" He Chaoyi said with a bad face.
From the beginning to the end, He Chaoyi didn't even look at her father, and seemed to be angry with Stanley Ho.
"Well, it will be difficult to manage our daughters when they grow up." Stanley Ho sighed and turned back to his car. His children were well-behaved when they were young, but when they reached adolescence, they developed rebelliousness. They were all disobedient and each one was more difficult to control than the last.
.
Returning to Villa No. 4, He Chaoqiong first went back to the room to urge his son to sleep, and then went downstairs to the living room. He asked with a smile: "Are you planning to stay at my place forever?"
He Chaoyi was wearing a leather jacket and leather trousers, looking very wild. She gnawed on an apple and said, "I don't care, let's wait until I'm done with it." She suddenly asked Kang Jianfei, "Brother-in-law, will there be a second installment of "Resident Evil"?"
?"
"It should be filmed next year." Kang Jianfei nodded.
"Give me a role. It has to be like a fight scene," He Chaoyi said and became excited. "Zombies are so cool. They are more cool than zombies or evil ghosts. How did you come up with it?"
Kang Jianfei sweated. Most people only think zombies are disgusting. Those who think zombies are cool are basically rebellious young people. He smiled and said, "Okay, when I write the script, I will add a role specifically for you."
"My brother-in-law is the one who loves me the most, come and give me a kiss, oh no!" He Chaoyi sat over and hooked up with Kang Jianfei, kissing her brother-in-law on the face with lightning speed.
He Chaoyi was pretty good-looking when he was young, but Kang Jianfei didn't have much interest. Before the birth of the youngest daughter of the He family, this girl was the most beloved daughter of the gambling king. If he dared to mess around, the gambling king would probably come to him directly to question him.
He Chaoqiong did not care about her sister's overly intimate actions. She said: "Mr. Cha decided to reduce his stake in Ming Pao Group to 0%. If we can successfully acquire it, Oriental Media Group will become the largest shareholder of Ming Pao Group."
"So soon?" Kang Jianfei was a little surprised, "Is he ready to retire?"
"Maybe you are a little frustrated," He Chaoqiong said. "Some time ago, Dong Qiao, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao" was poached and went to be the editor-in-chief of "Apple Daily". Mr. Cha even had a big quarrel with Dong Qiao.
."
Dong Qiao is a well-known writer in Southeast Asia. He had a close relationship with Jim Yong 0 years ago, and he was invited to be the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao" a few years ago. But it is such an old friend who came up with Kim Yong's idea of running a newspaper.
Due to differences, he actually switched jobs to "Apple Daily" which has no bottom line.
"After acquiring the shares of Ming Pao, Oriental Media can start developing in Taiwan and Southeast Asia," Kang Jianfei said.
Unfortunately, we are now in the 1990s, and we have missed the opportunity to enter the Western media market. In the 1980s, there was a wave of acquisitions in the United States. Whether it was traditional enterprises, film companies, newspapers, magazines, or record groups, they all conducted various equity transactions.
Kang Jianfei bought Paramount at that time, and Japanese people were also waving their banknotes to buy various things in the United States. The most ruthless one was Rupert Murdoch. This old man bought all the newspapers available in the United States, and also bought many
Home movies, record companies and TV stations.
Oriental Media will definitely not be able to succeed in Europe and the United States, so it will have to base itself on Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, or at least encircle territory in these places.
Of course, what Kang Jianfei values most is the power of the Internet. Oriental Media will become a shareholder of Oriental Network Technology Company through the second round of financing before listing. The Internet is the new future of the media industry.
...
In the newspapers the next day, film critics praised "Resident Evil" and called it a classic of Hong Kong science fiction films.
Of course, some people are angry because 99% of the entire film has English dialogue. It can hardly be called a Chinese-language film, at most it can be regarded as a Hong Kong-produced English film. Film critics criticized Kang Jianfei for going the wrong way and trying to be international while forgetting
The origin of Hong Kong cinema.
Of course Kang Jianfei could dub the movie in Cantonese, but he didn't do it, mainly for the viewing experience. For a story that took place abroad, it would be too weird if it was all told in Chinese.
Of course, the Taiwan version must have Mandarin dubbing, as the film producers there like to do it.
Major films released during the Christmas period include "Chariots of Fire", "Ten Brothers", "Hagen", "Public Servant", "Way of Fury", etc.
Among them, "Chariots of Fire" produced by Wing Sing is relatively impressive, with box office exceeding 10 million in its first week. Newcomer Leung Wing-kei became famous because of this film and became a rising star in Hong Kong. Among the several young actresses promoted by the company,
Her development is the smoothest.
"Ten Brothers" is also pretty good. It is a Taiwanese-funded film starring the brat Hao Shaowen. It grossed more than 4 million in its first week.
As for the rest of the films, they were all dumped on the street, and none of them even broke 1 million in box office in the first week. Yuan Bin finally managed to get investment to make a film "The Dragon", and even found his junior brother Yuan Biao to be the leading actor and star.
Yang Liqing was the heroine, but the box office in the first week was only 100,000 yuan... This movie was so popular in Hong Kong that it sold 1.5 million yuan, which was not enough to pay the actors.
"Resident Evil" was released on the sixth day after its premiere, and it earned 1 million at the box office in the first week in four days. "Chariots of Fire", which was originally very good, was instantly depressed by the criticism, and the box office in the second week plunged to
There were only 5 million, a drop of more than 50%.
For the audience, watching "Resident Evil" now is even more surprising than watching "Mr. Zombie" back then. The combination of high technology, kung fu and gunplay is so exciting.
Half a month after its release, "Movie Weekly" finally published a review of the film: "I have been wanting to write an article about "Resident Evil" since I was invited to attend the premiere. But I didn't understand some parts. Two days ago
After watching it for the second time, I finally straightened out the plot of the movie...
This is a very successful Hong Kong commercial film. The inspiration for zombies obviously comes from zombies and vampires, but it is packaged with biochemical technology. Especially the elevator accident scene is not inferior to the thriller horror film... Li Jiaxin from
Walking out of the bathroom, there were drawers full of firearms, an empty villa, a flock of frightened birds, and a strong wind blowing in her face. It was as if she was the only one left alive in the world. These scenes made the atmosphere extremely weird and terrifying. If Mr. Kang Jianfei
If I go to make a horror movie, I will definitely donate a movie ticket...
"Resident Evil" can be said to have created a new movie genre, let's call it a zombie movie. Its magical imagination and steady narrative rhythm build a complete science fiction world. I would say the highlight should be in the second part,
The suspense left at the end of the film is really unbearable, and I am afraid that Kang Jianfei will leave the hole unfilled like before."
Paramount also invested in this film. While it was being released in Hong Kong, "Resident Evil" also met with North American audiences during the Christmas period. (To be continued)
