Dreams of the Fragrant River

The morning wind was blowing the curtains rustling, Zhou Xingchi sat on the head of the bed with sleepy eyes, opened his mouth wide and yawned, and then woke up in a daze for a few minutes. [;Starting]

When Zhou Xingchi finished washing up and came to the dining room, the rest of the crew had already arrived and were waiting for breakfast to go to work.

"Director Wu in the morning, Director Zhong in the morning, Uncle Shrimp in the morning..." Although Zhou Xingchi was a little famous star, but at this time he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Wu Yusen, Zhong Zhiwen, Huang Xia and others, all of them greeted him with a smile on his face. .

Huang Shrimp spread out his hand, pointed to the news above and said, "This Liang Jiahui is really bad. He was banned by Taiwan just after he became the best actor."

Neither Wu Yusen nor Zhong Zhiwen were surprised, they had seen this kind of thing a lot. Xu Anhua was filming in Hainan more than two years ago. At first, she just used a pseudonym, but she did not escape the fate of being banned after winning the Academy Award. Now Liang Jiahui actually used his real name to film in the Mainland, and because of this, he won the best actor, so it is strange that he was not blocked by the Taiwan authorities.

Zhou Xingchi didn't understand this, and asked curiously, "There's no need to block it so severely."

Huang Shrimp shook his head and said, "I don't need to talk about this, Liang Jiahui's kid is considered bad luck."

Zhou Xingchi took a look at the newspaper, and the headline of the news was straightforward.

The specific content of the ban is as follows: All films, televisions, and audio-visual products involving Liang Jiahui will not be sold in Taiwan, and Liang Jiahui is ordered to report to the Taiwan Information Bureau within seven days, seriously reflect on and publicly publish a letter of repentance, and ensure that he will no longer covert bandits. spy. Otherwise, it will be permanently banned.

While Zhou Xingchi was reading the newspaper, Zeng Bolin ran in quickly from the outside, went directly to Kang Jianfei's bedroom, and knocked **** the door.

Kang Jianfei put on his clothes and opened the door. Guan Zhilin, who was on the big bed inside, was sleeping soundly, and her white legs like lotus roots were exposed, which was enough to arouse the man's ambiguous fantasy.

"What happened?" Kang Jian flew out and closed the door. He knew that Zeng Bolin must have something important to do so early.

Zeng Bolin said in a low voice, "Five actors, including Zheng Shaoqiu, expressed their intention to quit the crew."

"What's their reason?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Zeng Bolin took out a newspaper and said, "Besides that the filming took too long, the most important thing is this. They may be scared."

Kang Jianfei took a look at the newspaper, and it was the news that Liang Jiahui was banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau.

The two were talking when suddenly the Filipino maid came over and asked, "Mr. Kang. Qiuguan and Sister Fei are outside, do you want to open the door?"

Just listening to what the maid called Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia, ​​and knew that she was a fan of the two, Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Take them to the living room."

Kang Jianfei changed into a formal set of clothes, brushed his teeth and washed his face before entering the living room. Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia had been waiting there for a long time.

"Mr. Kang..." Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia quickly stood up.

"Please take a seat," Kang Jianfei interrupted them. "Speak slowly if you have something to say, don't worry."

Zheng Shaoqiu was hard to say about the breach of contract, but Shen Dianxia said with a smile: "Mr. Kang, you can see that it has been filming for more than half a year, and now I don't know when it will be able to restart. Qiuguan can't be idle all the time, just in Taiwan has received a few film appointments, do you think..."

What received a film contract in Taiwan, these are just excuses, mainly because Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia were frightened by the news that Liang Jiahui was banned, and they were afraid that Zheng Shaoqiu would also be banned from filming in the Mainland.

Now Zheng Shaoqiu's most famous place is in Taiwan. The remunerations given by TV stations and film companies in Taiwan are even much higher than those in Hong Kong. Zheng Shaoqiu should not give up the entire Taiwan market in order to make a blockbuster.

Seeing that Kang Jianfei didn't speak, Zheng Shaoqiu finally pulled his face and said, "Mr. Kang, do you think the film contract can be cancelled?"

For this sake, what else can Kang Jianfei do? Is it possible to ask Zheng Shaoqiu for liquidated damages?

"In this case, it will not affect Mr. Zheng's development in Taiwan. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future." Kang Jianfei pretended to be generous and smiled. In fact, he was quite dissatisfied with Zheng Shaoqiu in his heart.

No way, **** Fei is such a careful person.

After Kang Jianfei expressed his attitude, Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had already had an unpleasant quarrel with Shao Yifu before, and now if they offend Kang Jianfei again. After that, there will be very few opportunities for acting in Hong Kong.

The purpose of Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia's visit today is to avoid falling out with Kang Jianfei because of this matter. After inquiring from various sources, they learned that Kang Jianfei was filming at No. 4 in Repulse Bay.

Kang Jianfei looked at his watch, stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have to film later, so I won't leave two more."

Since Kang Jianfei has already issued the order to evict the guests, Zheng Shaoqiu and Zheng Shaoqiu can't stay any longer, so they leave immediately after saying goodbye.

After exiting the gate of the villa, Zheng Shaoqiu sighed, "I'm afraid I'll offend Mr. Kang badly this time."

Shen Dianxia blamed herself: "I didn't think about it carefully at the beginning. I thought it was a big player and let you pick it up. Now there are so many troubles."

Instead, Zheng Shaoqiu comforted her and said, "It's nothing, who can predict everything."

The two's car was parked outside the gate, Shen Dianxia sat in the cab and started the car, sighing: "Alas, this is the first time I met Kang Jianfei, he was still a role model on the Shaw Brothers studio, and even as a stand-in requires you to support him. After a few years, he has become a big man like Sir Shao, and the fate of life is unpredictable, no one can really guess."

...

Shen Dianxia lamented that when she was in life, Liang Jiahui was looking at the newspaper in a daze. Just as Kang Jianfei once predicted, he was really banned by the Taiwan News Bureau after he became an actor.

"Jingle Bell……"

A burst of phone ringing woke Liang Jiahui. He put down the newspaper and went to answer the phone, only to hear the other side say: "Mr. Liang, you don't need to shoot tomorrow's advertisement. The advertisers feel that your image does not match their products."

"Got it." Liang Jiahui hung up the phone with a "pop".

After the hit, Leung Ka Fai became famous in Hong Kong. But he did not accept any more film contracts, but waited for the next few films to be filmed. As a result, after waiting for half a year, I was told that the next few plays would not be filmed.

Liang Jiahui's savings at this time have almost been used up. After finally winning the best actor, he received a movie contract and an advertisement contract, but now he is in trouble because he was blocked by the Taiwan side.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Just when Liang Jiahui was distressed, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. He said angrily, "The door is not locked, come in."

Li Hanxiang pushed in the door and saw Liang Jiahui with a frustrated face. He hated the iron and said, "Look at you, what are you doing now? It's just being blocked by Taiwan, not the sky is falling."

Liang Jiahui squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Master, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

"I'm not here to comfort you today," Li Hanxiang suddenly changed the subject. He asked, "What's the matter with you and Alang, if you just say goodbye, then break up?"

Liang Jiahui was silent for a while and said, "We both felt that each other was not very suitable for lovers, so we broke up. I am still good friends with Alang."

Li Hanxiang sighed, he was very optimistic about Liang Jiahui, the prospective son-in-law, but he did not expect Liang Jiahui to break up with his daughter quietly.

One old and one young sat there with big eyes and small eyes. It took a long time for Liang Jiahui to say, "Master, what do you think of me going to DreamWorks?"

Li Hanxiang said: "You are now banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau, will DreamWorks sign you?"

Liang Jiahui took out the business card that Kang Jianfei gave him and said, "Mr. Kang gave it to me. He told me to go to DreamWorks before filming."

Li Hanxiang glanced at the business card and said, "If you go to DreamWorks now, at most you will be a supporting role in a TV series. Unless DreamWorks doesn't want to sell movies in Taiwan, they will definitely not ask you to make movies."

Liang Jiahui is so poor that he can't live anymore. He said: "It's better to shoot TV series than to be idle at home."

"What's the point of making a TV series. That will only reduce your status as a movie star? I want to train you to become a big star, and you will be satisfied as a small actor?" Li Hanxiang gave a lesson before saying, "You first Wait at home, my new Kunlun is planning to shoot a new film, as long as it gets invested, I will let you be the male lead."

"Okay, I'll listen to Master." Liang Jiahui wanted to go to DreamWorks, but Li Hanxiang said it for the sake of it. He could only agree, thinking about what kind of job he should find to live.

Li Hanxiang asked with concern: "Are you short of money to spend? Here I am..."

Before Li Hanxiang finished speaking, Liang Jiahui interrupted and said, "Master, I have money. Don't worry about it."

...

...

The news that Liang Jiahui was banned by the Taiwan authorities immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong, even more attention than when the news bureau banned Li Hanxiang and Xu Anhua.

No matter how famous Li Hanxiang and Xu Anhua are in filming again, they are not as eye-catching as Liang Jiahui's golden sign of the best actor. They were banned just after they became the best actor. This is really the first time in the Hong Kong film industry for decades.

The leftist newspaper naturally strongly condemned the actions of the Taiwan authorities, and published an article: "Film is a noble art, and there should not be too many political factors in it. Liang Jiahui was selected by hundreds of judges, Taiwan News. The bureau's ban is really a violation of public opinion, and it is also a trampling and insulting to the art of film..."

As soon as the article came out, the war between the left and right newspapers was immediately opened, and the incident became more and more heated.

At the same time, starring Zhang Guorong, Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen and Wu Mengda finally ended the first round of screenings in the Oriental Cinema. Hong Kong accumulated a box office of 10.86 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the box office champion in Hong Kong in March.

The box office of such a small-budget movie broke 10 million again, which increased the popularity of the two leading actors Zhang Guorong and Wen Bixia, and once again attracted a group of follow-up movies of problem girls.

After the painting was finished, it was followed by director Zhang Jianting, starring Chen You and Hui Yinghong. Since Zhang Jianting's big hit last year, everyone is very optimistic about this.

However, after it was released, it was discovered that the sales were not very good. After only two weeks of release, the film was cancelled due to the low attendance rate, and the cumulative box office was 6.73 million.

6.73 million could have won the annual box office championship a few years ago, but now it can only rank more than 30 in the annual box office list. However, since this is a low-budget movie, DreamWorks can make a small profit in Hong Kong, and it can also make a lot of box office sales overseas.

After the film was released, the film that was released in the Oriental Cinema was the film of Wuzhou Century (the name after the reorganization of Century Films) starring the former student lover Deng Guangrong, but the box office situation was not satisfactory, and it was forced to be released after only eight days of release. piece.

The film that Golden Harvest collaborated with DreamWorks is now sweeping across Southeast Asia like a whirlwind, and the cumulative box office in Asia has reached 140 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it is not released in Europe and the United States, the 5,000 investment has been fully recovered, and Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai can make a lot of money.

The release in the United States is also drawing to a close, with a total North American box office of more than $75 million, currently ranking first on this year's North American box office charts.

Of course, when the North American blockbuster hits are released one after another in June, it will definitely lose the box office champion position.

However, it is still a very eye-catching thing that a movie invested by an Asian person once became the box office champion in North America, not to mention that this movie is so popular with American audiences.

Immediately after receiving the money from DreamWorks, an article was published to build momentum for Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks: "...It is reported that the box office has sold 76.49 million US dollars in North America, and has been the box office champion for several consecutive weeks. The investor of the film is Mr. Kang Jianfei, and the Oriental Film Company is actually a branch of DreamWorks. As far as the current box office data is concerned, it can only make a net profit of 20 million US dollars in North America, which does not include video tapes and other peripherals. income……"

...

...

"Net profit of 20 million US dollars, God, converted into Hong Kong dollars, wouldn't it be more than 150 million yuan," Mao Shunyun flipped through the newspaper and said, "One movie makes more than 100 million yuan, which is faster than robbing a bank."

"Show me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Zimei grabbed the newspaper, read it for a while, and said, "Mr. Kang is really amazing. Every month in Hong Kong, film companies go bankrupt, and he has never lost money on filmmaking. "

Mao Shunyun stretched his waist and said, "Don't think about it, people like us don't make a lot of money, let's just make movies honestly."

Ye Zimei turned the newspaper over, and suddenly said in surprise, "Sister Mao Mao, look, Phoenix TV is going to hold a beauty contest!"

"Beauty contest?" Mao Shunyun leaned over to take a look, and said, "It seems that TVB and Phoenix are going to fight again."
