The future famous Hong Kong Cup Grade 1 horse racing competition is still called the Hong Kong International Cup, and it is only a Grade 2 race. The timing of this event is erratic. It was first held in January, then changed to January, and then to November.
Between January, it was changed to April in previous years, and it became January again this year.
Kang Jianfei and Weng Hong were sitting in the VIP seats, and next to them were Li Weili, the horse breeder of Dazao, a son of Red Pepper, and jockey Zhou Dunyang.
The opening ceremony activities are still taking place on the temporary stage in the stadium.
Suddenly the host mentioned Kang Jianfei's name: "...for this Hong Kong International Cup, Mr. Kang Jianfei, chairman of Oriental Entertainment Group, also came to support in person, and everyone welcomed it with applause!"
The camera lens suddenly swung this way, and Kang Jianfei's picture appeared on the big screen on the sidelines. Amid a burst of applause, Kang Jianfei waved to the camera, and then continued to sit there and watch the fun.
When the host introduced other guests, jockey Zhou Dunyang said enthusiastically: "Mr. Kang, Dazao is really a natural horse. He made rapid progress last year."
Horse breeder Li Weili also said: "Yes, with two more promotion races, Dazao will be firmly in the second class and will definitely be qualified to participate in the Queen Audemars Piguet Cup in May!"
"Thank you for your hard work," Kang Jianfei said with a smile. He actually didn't care about his horses and usually didn't bother to pay attention to the relevant results.
But I have to say that Dazao is really awesome. The foal, which is only half a year old now, has been promoted from the fifth class horse to the third class horse in just half a year, and will soon be promoted to the second class horse.
Its various data are still growing, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to appear in international competitions in a few months.
"Miss Li Jiaxin please!"
As the host finished speaking, Li Jiaxin appeared in a formal dress and high heels. She was a special celebrity guest invited by Longines, the sponsor of Marseille, and she was also wearing a bright Longines women's watch on her wrist.
.
She made an appearance this morning, said a few words, and then made an appearance at the dinner in the evening. She also answered a few questions from reporters, and that's how she got a commercial remuneration of one million Hong Kong dollars (it's enough to show up in a sleeveless dress in the winter)
fight).
This price is close to that of Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi. Such high appearance fees are also due to the popularity of "Resident Evil" in Hong Kong and North America. Nowadays, Oriental Entertainment Agency has to add "international actress" when promoting Li Jiaxin.
The prefix of , the popularity is rising rapidly.
"Li Jiaxin! Li Jiaxin!"
"Michelle, Michelle!"
"Monica, Monica!"
"..."
The moment Li Jiaxin appeared, many fans suddenly burst out in the audience, shouting frantically for Li Jiaxin's Chinese, Portuguese and English names.
From the reactions of these fans, we can see how popular "Resident Evil" is in Hong Kong. The box office of 1 million in the first week is just the appetizer. As the reputation of this movie spreads, many viewers who are already disgusted with Hong Kong movies are
It exploded, and many people walked into the theater to see it.
In the second week of its release, the box office of "Resident Evil" actually rose instead of falling, reaching 18 million in a flash, which shocked colleagues in the film industry. Correspondingly, the attendance rates of other movies released during the same period were
That's bleak, the audience was all snatched away by "Resident Evil".
Although the box office dropped rapidly in the third week, it was still as high as 1 million, and the cumulative box office reached 4 million.
It is now the fourth week. Although the attendance rate has dropped significantly, it should be no problem to maintain a weekly box office of 8 million. There is every hope of getting a local box office of 60 million. Such terrifying data was only achieved by Cheng Long's "Red Zone" last year.
》(56.9 million) is comparable.
Hong Kong people are really crazy. The popularity of "Resident Evil" this time is actually as crazy as when I watched "God of Gamblers". In another time and space, even the poor quality of "Resident Evil 5" is in Hong Kong
It has topped the box office for several weeks, so one can imagine Hong Kong movie fans' love for zombie movies.
From a certain perspective, this is a continuation of zombie movies.
Lin Zhengying, who has been a director and starring in zombie movies for many years, is now in a miserable state. He has lost money on several movies in a row and invested all his savings over the years. After watching "Resident Evil", he felt disappointed and excited at the same time.
In front of his girlfriend Yuan Danqiong, he recited: "Mr. Kang created the zombie movie, and now he has personally ended the zombie movie. But think about it from another angle, "Resident Evil" is another zombie movie that reincarnates."
Yuan Danqiong encouraged: "Mr. Kang can make zombie movies, so can you!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhengying was very excited. He didn't know how to play with technology, but he had a lot of research on Maoshan Taoism. So Lin Zhengying asked a friend to cooperate with him to come up with a script, and then happily went to DreamWorks to attract investment.
After Kang Jianfei found out, he read the script and couldn't laugh or cry about it. Lin Zhengying's new script is called "Maoshan Taoist Priests vs. Zombies". The beginning is similar to "Resident Evil", with the zombie virus leaking. Unfortunately, the protagonist becomes a Taoist priest and uses the traditional Maoshan script.
Taoism and zombies fight for 300 rounds, with various funny routines and jokes during the period.
This is a zombie movie disguised as science fiction!
Not only Lin Zhengying, when "Resident Evil" became a hit in Hong Kong and the United States, many film companies in Hong Kong wanted to follow suit. Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng and Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe were already tinkering with zombie scripts, and they also invited
Popular stars from all walks of life participated in the show.
According to the current shooting speed of Hong Kong films, it is estimated that there will be a large number of zombie films released from the end of the month to April. Unfortunately, those who follow the trend are not even willing to spend money on computer special effects, and even the make-up of zombies is nothing more than
Just making money while it's hot.
Even "The God of Cookery", which Zhou Xingchi is currently conceiving, is trying to spoof it by adding zombie memes - by the way, "Westward Journey" has been released in many places in mainland China, and it was so popular that it was so popular that the capital city, as the mainland market,
The largest box office, the total box office of the two parts of "Westward Journey" was less than 450,000. Some theaters only screened it for two days and quickly removed it because the attendance rate was too low.
However, "Westward Journey" was screened hurriedly in mainland theaters and was shown at the Beijing Film Academy, where it received a lot of praise. Perhaps, this advanced film can only be appreciated by young students.
"Quick, quick, catch up with the lightning gun!" Chen Baixiang patted the seat and shouted crazily. The Hong Kong International Cup has officially started.
Li Jiaxin also returned to the guest seats, completely ignoring the paparazzi's cameras, and leaned close to Kang Jianfei to watch the game affectionately. She also placed a bet, shouted reservedly, and then suddenly stood up and applauded - she had won.
"Oh! It was just a little bit close." Chen Baixiang looked dejected.
In the afternoon, Weng Hong answered the phone and said: "Brother Fei, Blizzard has let go." (To be continued)
