Dreams of the Fragrant River

Since Kang Jianfei entered the main Phoenix TV station, the TV station's ratings have only recovered slightly, but compared with TVB, it is far behind. [;Starting]

Since these two TV dramas have been highly hyped, not many people in the outside world question whether Kang Jianfei has the ability to make the TV station well, but there are many people waiting to see his jokes.

Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry. He is not in a hurry to replace a new show soon.

All the plans have been worked out and need to be implemented step by step. The first step to make Phoenix TV's ratings soar is to come up with two classic signature TV series. Then take advantage of the momentum of the surge in ratings to reform other programs one after another.

To be honest, because Kang Jianfei has the golden finger of a traveller, making a few more movies is more profitable than a TV station. But he still deliberately spends money to acquire TV stations, and even spends his precious time personally producing TV series.

Oriental DreamWorks, Phoenix TV and Pop Records will form an iron triangle that can complement each other in the future.

In addition to helping Oriental DreamWorks and Pop Records to promote, Phoenix TV is also a talent training base, and the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel of the TV station and DreamWorks can communicate with each other.

And what about pop records? The film and television works of Phoenix TV and DreamWorks must have various music contents, and Pop Records can not only help Phoenix TV and DreamWorks make music, but also help them distribute and sell records.

As for Oriental DreamWorks, it can exist as a money-making and star-making machine. The potential stars of Phoenix TV and Pop Records can be brought to another level by DreamWorks through filming.

After the construction of this iron triangle is completed, Kang Jianfei's film and television empire in Hong Kong will only be missing the cinema line.

Regarding the cinema line, Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry, and he can't be in a hurry. When Hong Kong movies reach a stage of prosperity, it is very simple to start a theater chain, but it is hard to say whether the theater chain can make a profit.

At least the current Shaw cinema chain is operating at a loss almost every month. Lost at least 50 million in the last two years. If it weren't for Shao Daheng's wealth, he would not be able to support it for other people.

Kang Jianfei also thought about investing in movie theaters in the mainland. When he went to the mainland last time to shoot, he asked by the way, but the answer he got disappointed Kang Jianfei.

Cinemas belong to the infrastructure of cultural undertakings and are not allowed to be controlled by foreign capital at all.

If Kang Jianfei's expectations are not bad, at least before the signing of the epa agreement in 2003, it is impossible for Hong Kong capital to control the movie theaters in the mainland. The most joint-venture cinemas give you part of the equity, but even if you invest 10 billion to build a cinema chain in the mainland, it is also impossible to have the right to speak.

Time to enter July. The old British lady was furious. The Falklands War with Argentina for more than two months has ended.

Hong Kong is really far away. It should be said that it has little to do with Hong Kong people, but the fact is just the opposite.

After the United Kingdom won the Falklands War, with the prestige of victory in the war, the United Kingdom began to ask the Chinese side for negotiation on the Hong Kong issue. I heard that the British old lady has a great appetite this time. intends to continue to rule Hong Kong, but also plans to visit China on this issue in the near future.

Hong Kong newspapers began to make various predictions. Some said that the Beijing authorities would submit to the British this time, and some said that the People's Liberation Army would take back Hong Kong by force after the negotiations broke down.

Kang Jianfei already knew the result, so he didn't pay attention at all, and the creative team with him began to do the final publicity.

At the same time, Jiahe also stepped up its propaganda campaign. Advertisements for the movie were swept up in the major newspapers.

In the parallel space, the idea was born later, but now it was filmed first.

In addition to Cheng Long's, this year's Jiahe's summer program also arranged Hong Jinbao's, which was released in June. Won millions at the box office.

Shaw Brothers has three films planned for release in July, two of which are works by Liu Jiaban. However, compared to the propaganda momentum, Shaw Brothers' films are much calmer, with small advertisements in the newspapers as usual, and then sticking posters at the entrance of the theater to finish the job, with a posture of wishers taking the bait.

It was released a few days ago, and it won a super high box office of 80,000 in the first week, which made the media exclaim that the real Cheng Long is back.

I heard that Zou Wenhuai danced with joy when he got the box office data, and repeatedly praised Cheng Long as his lucky general.

On July 8, the premiere was held as scheduled.

At this time, this dark horse at the box office has only been released for two days. With Kang Jianfei taking over Phoenix TV, the media's attention has also reached a new height.

Kang Jianfei and Cheng Long's films have competed with each other several times before, except that they are a few hundred dollars higher, it seems that Cheng Long loses every time.

This time, will Cheng Long fight a beautiful turnaround, or will he continue to be crushed by Kang Jianfei?

On the day of the premiere, film critics from all walks of life entered the premiere theater, wanting to have a sneak peek and predict the box office.

...

Shu Qi recently broke his leg because of his contact with the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association. Unfortunately, the result disappointed him. In the same way, it also made him realize the reality that Hong Kong movies are still very immature, and it is not meaningful to form a professional group in the near future.

After giving up the idea of ​​forming an entertainer's association, Shu Qi returned to next year's Academy Awards. The first is to invite people to design the trophy, and then to plan and set up various awards, and to select the famous foreign filmmakers who will be invited next year.

Now the trophy for the Academy Awards is still being designed, and upon receiving the invitation to the premiere of Kang Jianfei's new film, Shu Qi just took the opportunity to come out to watch the film and get some air.

Wu Yusen was sitting not far from Shu Qi. After he made two consecutive films, no one was willing to invite him to make films. Wu Yusen's good friend Xu Ke is doing well in Xinyicheng. Last week, he invited Wu Yusen to join Xinyicheng, and is preparing to let him shoot a new film.

Wu Yusen, who has been frustrated continuously, lacks self-confidence now, and even he himself doubts whether his next movie can make money. Now Kang Jianfei is the highest-grossing director in Hong Kong, and Wu Yusen is here to learn from it.

After the program interaction on the stage, the film officially began to show.

Zhou Runfa, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, appeared on the screen. Started eating street food snacks, chasing the hawker to pay, and then got into Hao Ge's car and entered the company together.

When seeing the company's staff greeting "Brother Hao" and "Brother Xiaoma", including Wu Yusen, Shu Qi, Yi Shu and others, all the audience thought that Zhou Run was a company executive.

However, a scene that made the audience stunned soon appeared. A 100-dollar bill appeared on the computer monitor. The expert in the white coat operated the mouse and began to manually modify the number of the dollar bill.

Then, the full-page, full-page dollar bills are color-colored, and then the hula la machine starts to run, and the stacks of dollar bills are printed in this way.

"Shit. These are fake money!"

"Brother Ma's action of lighting a cigarette with US dollars is so handsome."

"High-tech. In the past, the printing of counterfeit money in movies required electric panels. This is fully automatic by computer."

"..."

Wu Yusen was surprised that the main character was set as a counterfeit money dealer, and he thought it was a black/gangster movie like that at first. It wasn't until Zhang Guorong, who was admitted to the police academy, appeared, that Wu Yusen felt that it was not that simple, and the plot behind it must be more complicated.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guorong accompanied Guan Zhilin to the violin test, which made the audience laugh. The laughter didn't stop for long, and Brother Hao, played by Chen Huimin, was arrested in Taiwan.

Brother Xiao Ma appeared on the overpass in Ximending, reading the newspaper with a toothpick in his mouth. The headline of the newspaper was the news that Brother Hao was arrested.

"It's my life to step into the rivers and lakes,

Not willing to be a bad boy.

It's better to be a brother out of date,

Dagang (every day) wears gold and silver.

Sometimes I'm in a hurry,

Sworn brother and tease Ting (helping through difficulties)

 …”

Accompanied by the sound of this Taiwanese song, Zhou Runfa appeared in the aisle of Fenglin Pavilion Restaurant and danced tango with a restaurant girl.

The dance moves of the two were beautiful. There are even close-ups of Zhou Runfa's flirtatious eyes and big hands. But under the cover of this graceful dance, Zhou Runfa took out a pistol and shoved it into the bonsai in the aisle, foreshadowing what little brother would do next.

Wu Yusen took a deep breath. He never thought that black/gang Jianghu films could be shot like this, especially the series of shootouts that followed. It's literally turning violence into an art.

The other audience members at the scene also held their breaths and stared at the big screen attentively until the shootout ended. However, at this moment, Brother Xiao Ma was shot in the leg by the opponent, and he finally finished killing the enemy and dragged out with a lame leg.

Brother Hao returned to Hong Kong after his prison sentence, but his brother became homeless, and Hao, who wanted to reform himself, became a taxi driver. When showing the picture of Brother Hao carrying passengers, Kang Jianfei did not use the original soundtrack, but replaced it with this episode in a bad way.

Most people in Hong Kong can still understand Mandarin. Ten years ago, the most popular songs and movies in Hong Kong were all in Mandarin, so Kang Jianfei was too lazy to change Cantonese lyrics.

This song appeared twice in the film. Another time, Zhang Guorong pressed his brother against the wall to search for him and asked him when he had a deal. Brother Hao said helplessly: "Ah, I haven't been a big brother for a long time!"

At this moment, the singing of "I haven't been a big brother for many years" sounded again, adding a bit of grief to the movie.

Brother Pony's downfall and Ah Cheng's betrayal aroused strong reactions from the audience, until the last battle was hearty, and the audience was hooked.

"boom!"

At this moment, Brother Ma was suddenly shot in the head, and then slowly fell down.

The theater, which was very lively just now, suddenly became quiet, and the audience was stunned by the sudden death, followed by a wave of dissatisfaction and cursing.

"Did you make a mistake, brother Xiao Ma died like this?"

"It's too worthless to die. I didn't die in a gun battle, but I died under the cold gun."

"Is the screenwriter pretending to be shit? How could the protagonist be killed like this!"

"Director Xian's shovel!"

"..."

Listening to the venting of the audience around him, Wu Yusen had to admit the success of Director Kang Jianfei. Only after a movie has strongly attracted the audience, can it enjoy such strong abuse from the audience.

The movie continued, and after a few scoldings from the audience, they quickly continued to watch the movie obediently.

When they saw Ah Cheng go out and surrender himself, the audience was afraid that the director would mess up again, and some people couldn't help shouting: "Kill him!"

"Kill this anti-bone boy!"

"No bullets, beat him to death with your fists!"

"..."

Zhang Guorong walked out from behind the container and put the pistol he picked up into Brother Hao's hand.

After two shots were fired, the nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Ah Cheng, who was shot, fall, and then applauded.

The movie has been shown, but the audience's applause is wonderful. Although the death of Xiao Ma has made many audiences worry, the whole movie is still very enjoyable for everyone to watch.

Wu Yusen walked out of the cinema in silence all the way, thinking back and figuring out the details of the movie, and admiring Kang Jianfei more and more~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He found that this film suits his taste very much, and some of the things expressed in the film are also related to Kang Jianfei. His thoughts coincided with each other, and he felt a little like meeting a bosom friend.

The film critics in the newspaper the next day, except for the rant about Kang Jianfei's killing of Xiao Ma, almost overwhelmingly praised him.

After Shu Qi comes out, it may set off a future trend of gangster movies just like zombie movies. "

Yi Shu's film review column said: "A man like Brother Hao is worth having, but Brother Ma can only be seen from a distance. They are all heroes in a sense, with the characteristics and true colors of heroes... In fact , What I admired most about this film was not the hot shootout, but the episode sung by the children in the church. I called Director Kang afterwards, and he said the song is called."

It has a very high reputation among film critics, and just a week ago, the media also praised Cheng Long.

The same excellent films, one is a comedy cop film and the other is a gangster/gang hero film, are destined to compete this summer. The first-day box office, which the media and filmmakers in the industry are all staring at, was released, and the two days before the public release on Phoenix TV was officially launched.
