Dreams of the Fragrant River

In late May 1983, Zhang Jianting's official release. [;Starting]

In another time and space, this film was the stepping stone for Shaw Brothers to shift from martial arts films to urban comedies, and it was produced at a low cost to make a big box office. It was a rare highlight in the two years before Shaw Brothers went out of business.

However, it is a pity that Kang Jianfei made a very "wise" investment, and the film has nothing to do with Shaw Brothers from now on.

In terms of the main actors, the male lead is still played by Zhong Zhentao, but the female lead is replaced by Ye Tong with Zhong Chuhong, which greatly increases the attraction to the audience.

On the first day of its release, the box office was not bad, but the attendance rate skyrocketed in the following days. It was released at the same time in 22 theaters in the New Era Cinema, with an average attendance rate of up to 80%, which is difficult to achieve even in a good schedule.

In less than a week, the box office has exceeded 5 million, which has shattered the glasses of the Hong Kong media and film circles.

At the same time, there are Shaw Brothers and so on, and some of them have been released for two weeks. The performance of the film is really outrageous, and after half a month, it is still full of stamina, and the box office has soared through the 10 million mark, and it is still in the process of attracting money.

This is not a good season such as summer or Christmas, and the box office is already maddeningly good.

Experts predict that. It will get at least 15 million at the local box office, and it is certain that it will be ranked in the top ten of Hong Kong's annual list this year.

Chen Bosen specially wrote a film review: "The heroine's husband ran away with a debt, and the government bailiff sent a guard to watch the woman 24 hours a day. The poor guard and the bankrupt and abandoned woman are the same The room gradually changed from a vindictive enemy to a dewy couple...

This is really a cliché story. There is no breakthrough in the characters and storyline, and the ending also lacks *feeling, which is simply too bland. However, Zhang Jianting, the screenwriter and director, was able to grasp the details and bring them into full play, creating extraordinary effects in the ordinary, making the original ordinary story rich and colorful..."

The report is from a different angle: "Last year, Chen Xunqi and Gao Zhisen went to Princess Jin, which has a great influence on DreamWorks. Gao Zhisen continued Kang Jianfei's famous series and is the leading campus comedy director in Hong Kong, and Chen Xunqi is even more of Kang Jianfei's. A powerful arm. Someone predicted at the time. The departure of these two generals from DreamWorks will make DreamWorks very weak. But this did not happen. McDonald's took over smoothly. Eu Yan Tai also performed well this year, and now the appearance of Zhang Jianting , enriching the director lineup of DreamWorks..."

Anyway. Zhang Jianting is considered an instant hit, and with this film alone, he has directly entered the ranks of Hong Kong's first-class commercial film directors.

Kang Jianfei was in a particularly refreshing mood. He didn't know that in the original time and space, it was the fifth place at the annual box office this year. But the box office was so high that it still made Kang Jianfei feel a little surprised. It was a rare surprise.

At the time of the test film, the theater managers of the New Era Cinemas were not optimistic about the film, and basically only arranged a seven-day release time. But the subsequent box office response forced the academies to revise their film schedule and arrange for some small-company films to be released later. They vacated the screen to make way.

Judging from the current attendance rate, there is no problem at all on the screen for a month.

...

Zhao Yazhi was wearing a white dress, leaning on the sofa and peeling grapes, revealing her graceful figure. She said while watching TV: "A Fei, my contract with tvb will expire in half a year."

Kang Jianfei wrapped a bathrobe, stretched his waist, and said, "When it expires, turn over both the film and television contract and the brokerage contract. I'm not stingy with TVB here."

"I didn't think about money, I just thought it would be awkward to stay on TVB." Zhao Yazhi let Kang Jianfei sit down on a sofa while eating grapes with his head resting on Kang Jianfei's thigh.

Zhao Yazhi's continued stay on tvb is indeed a disadvantage. Since it was broadcast in Taiwan two years ago, Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu have both become popular in Taiwan. How popular is it in Taiwan? Taiwan even held a funeral at that time, and the guests at the funeral used Chu Liuxiang's theme song. Zheng Shaoqiu's trip to Taipei also caused traffic jams.

Two years ago, Zhao Yazhi's film remuneration in Hong Kong was only 100,000 yuan, but Taiwan's film company offered her a remuneration of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to make a film. It's a pity that TVB won't let anyone go. Zhao Yazhi only went to Taiwan to make a movie and was locked in Hong Kong. For an actor, this is really very depressing.

Zheng Shaoqiu is similar. Because of his popularity in Taiwan, he has more film contracts than Zhao Yazhi. But before two films were made in Taiwan, Zheng Shaoqiu was called back to Hong Kong by TVB to save the scene, which made the film company in Taiwan very dissatisfied.

Kang Jianfei brushed away a trace of hair from Zhao Yazhi's face, threw a grape into her mouth, and said, "As long as you come to DreamWorks, I promise to make a big show for you."

Zhao Yazhi turned over and said, "You separated the TV production business into DreamWorks. It seems that the recent ratings have not been very good."

"Everything has its ups and downs. It's impossible for the ratings to keep pressing TVB." Kang Jianfei smiled indifferently. After he separated Phoenix TV's TV series and variety show production business, the TV station's costs were directly reduced by more than half, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages, which also makes Phoenix TV's response always half a beat slower than TVB's when it produces TV series. The rate has also been gradually suppressed.

And after the separation of production and broadcasting, the supplier and the buyer are one-to-one. This has caused the producers of TV dramas to slack off - anyway, they are not worried about not being able to sell, and the TV dramas produced tend to decline in quality.

Huang Xizhao has responded to Kang Jianfei many times, and even said that if this continues, the TV station will go directly to Taiwan to buy films. No more buying DreamWorks TV productions.

Kang Jianfei had to call Xu Xiaoming to scold him, and then set a rule that the salary of the employees in the TV production department of DreamWorks was directly linked to the ratings of the TV series and variety shows they produced. Each program has set a basic rating point. Once the ratings of any program are lower than the basic point, the corresponding points will be deducted. At the end of the year, the bonus will be awarded according to the points. If the program it produces is lower than the basic ratings for several consecutive episodes, and there are no special circumstances that can be forgiven, then the person in charge of the program will either be demoted or get out.

certainly. Where there is punishment, there is reward. If the good programs produced are sold overseas. Then all relevant personnel will be given generous bonuses at the end of the year.

Immediately after the rules were set, the TV production staff got motivated, and the ratings of the show have risen a lot since June.

Zhao Yazhi suddenly remembered something. Reminder: "A Fei, I heard that TVB is going to make stars and wants to bring out a few newcomers."

"Haha, aren't you talking about Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Tang Zhenye?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and said, "It seems that they are just a few of them. Now they are working on a publicity plan. I think tvb will have a big move this time."

What can be done?

It is nothing more than creating the "wireless five tigers". Among the TVB veteran TV stars, Zheng Shaoqiu has stayed in Taiwan more than Hong Kong now, Zhou Runfa has jumped to DreamWorks again, Xie Xian and others are too old. Fang Yihua had to hold the newcomer up.

Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi tightly in his arms, sniffed the fragrance on her body, and said, "tvb has a big move, I don't have any plans, just wait and watch the show."

Over the past year, there have been winners and losers in the ratings battle between Phoenix and TVB, but with the gradual enrichment of Phoenix's variety shows, TVB's dominance is slowly disappearing.

The average ratings in previous years have remained above 60%, which is really a terrifying statistic. After the unremitting efforts of Phoenix TV, the average ratings in the latest quarter are only about 50%. Although it is still much higher than many variety shows on Phoenix TV, the general trend is declining, only because its loyal audiences are being attracted Slowly diverted to Phoenix Station.

As for TV dramas, Phoenix TV is slightly inferior to TVB in the last month. The good drama Kang Jianfei said is naturally that there is a high-quality TV drama being secretly planned.

The Jin Chaoqun that Kang Jianfei was looking for finally appeared. When Yu Ganping found him, Jin Chaoqun had just been promoted from the villain actor to the host of the show on China Television.

Hearing that DreamWorks asked him to shoot a TV series, and he was a righteous Bao Qingtian, Jin Chaoqun immediately quit his job as the host of the bad show and ran to Hong Kong. He is a stage actor and has also studied some dramas. After working in Taiwan for more than ten years, he can only play the villain. I don't need to talk about how uncomfortable he is. How could he miss this good opportunity?

Kang Jianfei met Jin Chaoqun two days ago. The only thing that made Kang Jianfei dissatisfied was that Bao Qingtian's belly was not big enough and there was not enough flesh on his face. So before the filming started, Kang Jianfei assigned Jin Chaoqun a task, asking him to gain at least 10 kilograms within a month.

Now the props department of DreamWorks is already making costumes and props. Talking about the influence in the global Chinese, so Kang Jianfei is very confident about the ratings.

"Ah!" Zhao Yazhi was leaning comfortably in Kang Jianfei's arms, when he was suddenly picked up by the man's waist. After she exclaimed, she hooked her arms around Kang Jianfei's neck, and was carried into the bedroom by her sweetheart and pressed on the bed.

Her **** were being ruthlessly ravaged by the man, Zhao Yazhi's face gradually flushed, she stared at Kang Jianfei charmingly and said, "Damn, it's only after nine o'clock, you are thinking of doing that kind of thing."

"Who told you to be so attractive, Sister Zhi?" Kang Jianfei pulled the hem of her dress at night~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and found that Zhao Yazhi's private parts were already wet, so he pushed away her **** and couldn't wait to step in.

"Take it lightly, um..." Zhao Yazhi felt that her body was full, and her small hands stroked Kang Jianfei's waist back and forth, and finally hugged the man tightly, groaning happily from her mouth.

...

As July is approaching, the Happy Girls Group's concert in the Red Pavilion ended successfully, and the main movies that are about to be released in the summer of major theaters have also started their pre-release promotions one after another.

It also finally landed in Hong Kong, with a cumulative box office of 16.3 million Hong Kong dollars. The cost of this film was only 1.6 million, of which Zhong Zhentao and Zhong Chuhong's remuneration accounted for a large proportion.

Such a terrifying ratio of cost to box office is almost the same as that of Kang Jianfei back then, and Zhang Jianting has also become the most dazzling newcomer director this year.

After entering July, major companies have strengthened their publicity efforts. DreamWorks' and Baohe's respectively represented four theaters in the competition.
