Dreams of the Fragrant River

Fast forward to 1987, TVB's first year drama "Rogue Tycoon" has a huge audience rating, and it has steadily suppressed the average audience rating of "Peerless Double Pride" on Phoenix TV from the slump of the previous few months. .

Seeing that Phoenix TV is about to surpass TVB and establish its advantages in the Hong Kong TV field, Kang Jianfei can only sigh that TVB has a profound background.

Not to mention that the male protagonist Huang Rihua has a second spring, the heroine Zheng Yuling also officially replaced Wang Mingquan with this drama and became TVB's well-deserved sister.

What caught the attention of Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui the most was Wei Jiahui, the screenwriter and assistant director of "Rogue Tycoon", who became TVB's gold screenwriter at the age of 25, and was promoted to creative director by Fang Yihua.

The 25-year-old creative director, this is a first-of-its-kind TVB that focuses on seniority. It can be seen that Fang Yihua attaches great importance to Wei Jiahui.

Wen Ruian has already adapted the script of "Peerless Double Pride" very well, but when it comes to a drama like "Rogue Tycoon", the ratings are still incomparable.

I heard that TVB will continue to make persistent efforts, and Wei Jiahui will create a new drama, and the Oriental TV production company immediately resorted to the killer-announced the filming of "Sister Tuo Gun 4".

Not to mention the battle between the two TV stations, it is New Year's holiday after Christmas. After some fighting, director Zhang Wanting, Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong starred in "Autumn Fairy Tale", which won the box office champion of the Christmas movie for DreamWorks - 25.5 million.

On Golden Harvest Films, the comeback of the cold-faced comedian Xu Guanwen, "Detective Chocolate" came in second, with a box office of 22.48 million.

As for the rest of the Christmas movies, the box office is only around 10 million.

After the entire Christmas stall and the New Year stall, there is actually not a single movie in Hong Kong with a box office of 30 million. Ming Pao Weekly couldn't help but sigh: "There is no Christmas stall for Kang Jianfei. I always feel that something is missing."

There are not many movie theaters, but Hong Kong people don't pay much attention to it. What everyone pays attention to is the Hong Kong stock market.

More than two years ago, the lowest point of Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was 600 points. Until the fall of 1997 after the return of Hong Kong, it began to soar. By the end of the year, the Hang Seng Index had risen by 1,200 points.

Two years later, the Hang Seng Index doubled again. After New Year's Day, it broke the 3,000-point mark directly.

Although Xinyicheng is going downhill, Mecca, the owner of Xinyicheng, is very proud. He has accumulated millions of net worth by investing in stocks in the past two years.

Until the Spring Festival, the Hang Seng Index rose by more than 130 points in a month and a half.

Hong Kong citizens apparently forgot the pain of the 1973 stock market crash. One by one, they put their savings into the stock market as if they were robbing money. Even Kang Jianfei, the thrifty and stingy cousin, quietly bought thousands of shares of "Hutchison Whampoa".

After Kang Jianfei learned about it, he only gave one piece of advice: "Pinch it for another two months, and let's do it all."

Kang Jianfei doesn't understand and is not interested in investing in stocks, but he has seen a magical drama called "The Great Era". The producer and screenwriter of this TV series is Wei Jiahui, who has just made a splash on TVB.

Know the background of the TV show after watching it. Kang Jianfei remembered one word - Black Monday.

On that Monday, the Dow Jones index in the United States led the plunge, and the wealth of countless investors evaporated out of thin air. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index plummeted 420 points in one day. The futures index in each month also fell by more than 300 points to the daily limit. Walking on the road, it is possible to see bankrupt stockholders jumping off the building.

Black Monday is not just a stock market crash in Hong Kong, but a major global stock market crash. The most fundamental cause of the stock market crash is the slowdown of the US economy, and then everyone will come together to wipe the **** of Dad Hope Country.

Kang Jianfei didn't remember the months when Black Monday happened, but only vaguely remembered that in the first half month of the stock market crash, Li Chaoren's group raised more than 10 billion yuan.

In the Spring Festival stall in 1987, Cheng Long really became the eldest brother. He and Alan Tam went to Europe to shoot "Dragon Brothers and Tigers" with great power, which won 35.5 million box office in Hong Kong.

The New Art City side is also not showing weakness. The Wesleyan Legend directed by Teddy Robin attracted 18.71 million yuan; while Pan Disheng's Debao Film Company is even more powerful. The pressure of Dragon's "Dragon Brothers and Tigers" actually won a high box office of 27 million.

Pan Disheng was so happy that when he was complacent and ready to enter the film industry with all his strength, and because of conflicts with Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, Pan Disheng finally announced his withdrawal from Xinbao Cinemas, and spent money forcibly taking Chen Rongmei. , The shares of Debao Pictures in the hands of Feng were bought back.

In early March, Pan Disheng announced to invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars to formally establish his own Debao cinema chain. After Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Dongfang, Xinbao and Yindu, Hong Kong's cinema chain finally added the sixth largest Debao cinema chain.

As for Anle Films, which has only 4 cinemas, and some other small cinema chains, they are not ranked at all.

The establishment of Debao Cinemas is tantamount to completely disrupting the Hong Kong film industry. The demand for film sources in theaters has greatly increased, which has attracted more hot money to invest in films, and further stimulated the increase in the number of Hong Kong films.

By the middle of 1987, the number of registered film companies in Hong Kong had reached 297. Although many are shell companies, a palm-sized peninsula with nearly 300 film companies is enough to show how prosperous Hong Kong films are at this time.

Now that Lian Mao and Agou rented a camera, he dared to say that he was a director making a movie. In addition, in order to catch up with the film company and the director, the overall quality of Hong Kong films has declined a lot.

Not to mention first-line big stars, even the first-line actors are dizzy. All the contracted artists under the Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company are dispatched, and almost everyone has a scene in their hands. In-demand actors even appear in two or three plays at the same time, rushing to another crew immediately after filming one scene.

In view of the drastic changes in the industry situation, DreamWorks adjusted its filming plan this year, increasing the annual production volume from 16 to 20 films. The most fundamental reason for increasing the amount of film production is that there are too many theaters and films, which leads to fierce competition, which in turn shortens the showing period of ordinary films.

That is to say, the films currently released by DreamWorks in ordinary schedules only have an average of 2 weeks of show time.

This is not a good thing. There are many movies made, but the box office sales have not increased much. Including the increased production costs, the company's overall profit is less than before.

Small film companies applauded because of the increase in the number of theaters and the prosperity of Hong Kong films, but the big companies such as Golden Harvest, DreamWorks, and Art City are hard to say.

But from another point of view, Kang Jianfei's star brokerage company's profits have been rolling up because of the prosperity of Hong Kong films.

Debao's "Rich and Rich" was released in the New Year's file, and during the Spring Festival, it was followed by "Magic Jade" of Yongsheng Film Company. The main sponsor of this play is Taiwan's Longxiang Films. The total production cost of the film is more than 9 million. The Xiang brothers only invested 2 million, and Wang Jing led the team to go to Greece to shoot. As for the box office, it can only be said that it is reluctant. It only sold more than 11 million in Hong Kong. Whether it can make money can only depend on how well it sells in other cities. This film made the starring Liu Dehua show his face.

Due to the lack of Kang Jianfei's film market, after DreamWorks won the Christmas box office championship with "Fairy Tale of Autumn", it performed well in the following New Year and Spring Festival. The two films directed by Chen Xunqi and Huang Tailai won the prizes respectively. 17.8 million and 20.33 million at the box office.

After the Lantern Festival, this year's Academy Awards nomination list was announced by "Film Biweekly". "Autumn Fairy Tale" produced by Zhang Wanting and his wife was nominated for 7 nominations including best film, best director, and best actor and actress. And Kang Jianfei's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" filmed last year also won five nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay.

However, Debao Film's "Underground Love" is also very powerful, and received 7 nominations like "Autumn Fairy Tale". Liang Chaowei, who is still on TVB, was nominated for the best actor for the first time with this film.

The most eye-catching of Xinyicheng is Zhang Aijia's directorial debut "Favorite". Although it only got 3 nominations, it is enough to cause a topic. Because of the addition of another female director Zhang Wanting, this year's Academy Awards actually had the works of two female directors nominated for multiple awards, and some media even called Zhang Wanting and Zhang Aijia "double Zhang".

...

"Crack!"

Kang Jianfei walked up to Liang Jiahui, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There was something wrong with that part of you just now. After the hammer is finished, put it on your shoulders, and let go of your emotions. You were a little tight just now."

Liang Jiahui pondered Kang Jianfei's words, brewed his emotions, and then nodded: "Director, we can start."

"Ok." Kang Jianfei motioned to start filming again, and on the opposite side of the glass wall, Sophie Marceau was also performing silently.

Kang Jianfei's version of "Fang Fang", because the changes are so big, about three-fifths of the shots need to be redesigned by him, and the rest of the shots also have some detail adjustments, which are not much different from the original~www.wuxiaspot.com ~Anyway, as long as it is completed before April, Kang Jianfei, who made his first literary romance film, can be described as meticulously crafted, and this film has become the slowest film since he entered the industry.

Fortunately, Sophie Marceau, a beautiful woman, was with her all day, and occasionally Kang Jianfei took the time to meet with other lovers, so she lived a happy life.

"when!"

"Crash!"

The glass mirror wall suddenly shattered, Sophie Marceau in the mirror opened instantly, and the glass lenses scattered all over the place. The figure of Liang Jiahui appeared in the crack of the mirror. He carried the hammer on his shoulder and smiled at Sophie Marceau, then walked over through the crack in the glass wall that was smashed open.

The camera rotates along with the rail car, and finally freezes on a shattered glass lens on the ground, in which Sophie Marceau and Liang Jiahui hug each other.

"Crack!"

Kang Jianfei stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile, "I announce that "Fang Fang" has been completed." ()
