Dreams of the Fragrant River

Outside the theater, He Chaoyi went straight to Kang Jianfei's Cadillac, turned his head and said to the bodyguard, "I'm going to my brother-in-law's house tonight, won't you follow me too?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other with a wry smile and said, "Miss, before you go out tomorrow, please give us a call first."

"I see, it's really annoying!" He Chaoyi said sullenly.

From the beginning to the end, He Chaoyi didn't even look at her father, and seemed to be angry with He Hongsen.

"Oh, it's hard to manage my daughter when she's older." He Hongsen sighed and turned back to his car. His sons and daughters were very good when they were young, but when they reached adolescence, they rebelled.

Back at Villa 4, He Chaoqiong first went back to his room to urge his son to sleep, and then went downstairs to the living room. He asked with a smile, "You plan to stay with me forever?"

He Chaoyi was wearing a leather jacket and trousers and dressed up wildly. She nibbled at the apple and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I'll talk about it when I'm out of my mind." She suddenly asked Kang Jianfei, "Brother-in-law, will there be a second film of Resident Evil? ?"

"It should be filmed next year." Kang Jianfei nodded.

"Give me a role, something like a fight," He Chaoyi said, and became excited. "Zombies are so cool, they are more like zombies and ghosts. How did you come up with it?"

Kang Jianfei is sweating madly, most people just think zombies are disgusting, and those who think zombies are cool are basically those rebellious young people. He smiled and said, "Okay, when I wrote the script, I specially added a character for you."

"Brother-in-law still loves me the most, come and kiss me, ah!" He Chaoyi sat down with Kang Jianfei and hooked his shoulders, and kissed his brother-in-law on the face with lightning speed.

He Chaoyi looked good when he was young, but Kang Jianfei was not very interested. Before the birth of the youngest daughter of the He family, this girl was the most beloved daughter of the gambling king. If he dared to mess around, it is estimated that the gambling king would directly kill him and ask for the crime.

He Chaoqiong didn't care about her sister's overly intimate actions. She said, "Mr. Cha has decided to reduce his 20% stake in Ming Pao Group. If we can successfully acquire it, Oriental Media Group will become the largest shareholder of Ming Pao Group."

"So soon?" Kang Jianfei was a little surprised, "Is he going to retire?"

"Maybe I'm a little discouraged," He Chaoqiong said, "Some time ago, the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, Dong Qiao, was poached and went to be the editor-in-chief of Apple Daily. Mr. Cha even had a big fight with Dong Qiao. ."

Dong Qiao is a well-known writer in Southeast Asia. He had a close relationship with Jim Yong Kim 20 years ago, and was invited to be the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao a few years ago. But it was such an old friend who had a disagreement with Jim Yong Kim's idea of ​​running a newspaper, and even jumped to the bottomless "Apple Daily".

"After winning the shares of Ming Pao, Oriental Media can start to go to Taiwan and Nanyang Exhibition." Kang Jianfei said.

It is a pity that it is the 1990s, and the opportunity to enter the western media market has been missed. In the 1980s, there was a wave of acquisitions in the United States. Whether it was traditional companies, or film companies, newspapers and magazines, and record groups, all kinds of equity transactions were conducted.

It was at that time that Kang Jianfei started Paramount, and the Japanese people also waved their banknotes to buy and buy in the United States. The most ruthless is Murdoch, the old man bought all the newspapers that the United States could buy, and also bought a number of movies, record companies and TV stations.

Oriental Media will definitely not be able to play in Europe and the United States, so it can only be based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, at least in these places.

Of course, what Kang Jianfei values ​​most is the power of the Internet. Dongfang Media will become a shareholder of Dongfang Network Technology Co., Ltd. through the second round of financing before listing, and the Internet is the new future of the media industry.

...

In the newspapers the next day, film critics praised Resident Evil, calling it a classic of Hong Kong-made science fiction films.

Of course, some people are sour, because 99% of the entire film is in English. It is difficult to say that this is a Chinese film, at most it is a Hong Kong-made English film. Film critics criticized Kang Jianfei for forgetting the origins of Hong Kong films while trying to internationalize.

Of course Kang Jianfei could dub the movie in Cantonese, but he didn't do it, mainly for the viewing experience. For a story born abroad, it would be too weird if all of it was in Chinese.

Of course, the Taiwan version must be dubbed in Mandarin, and filmmakers over there like to play it like that.

The main films released at the same time in the Christmas file include "Chancelles of Fire", "Ten Brothers", "Hagen", "Public Servant 2", "Dragon of the Furious Sea" and so on.

Among them, Chariots of Fire produced by Yongsheng is more powerful, with a weekly box office of over 1000,000. Newcomer Liang Yongqi became popular because of this film and became a rising star in Hong Kong. Among the several young actresses that the company has supported, she is the most successful.

"Ten Brothers" is also not bad. This film is a Taiwan-funded film, starring Hao Shaowen, and the weekly box office is more than 400,000.

As for the rest of the films, all of them are on the street, and none of them even broke the 200,000 box office per week. Yuan Bin finally pulled the investment to shoot a "Raging Sea Power Dragon". He also asked his junior brother Yuan Biao to be the male lead and star Yang Liqing to be the female lead. As a result, the weekly box office was only 120,000... This film can sell for 150 in Hong Kong. Wan, it's not enough for the actor's remuneration.

"Resident Evil" was released on the sixth day after the screening ceremony, and it won a weekly box office of 1300,000 in four days. Chariots of Fire, which had a good momentum, was instantly sluggish, and the box office plunged to only 500,000 in the second week, a drop of more than 50%.

For the audience, watching "Resident Evil~www.wuxiaspot.com~" at this time is even more pleasant than watching "Mr. Zombie" back then.

Half a month after its release, "Film Biweekly" finally came out with a related film review: "After I was invited to the screening, I always wanted to write an article about "Resident Evil". But I didn't understand some parts, so I read it two days ago. After the second time, I finally got the plot of the movie straightened out...

This is a very successful commercial film made in Hong Kong. The inspiration of zombies obviously comes from zombies and vampires, but it adds the packaging of biochemical technology. Especially the part of the elevator accident, which is not inferior to the horror movie at all... Li Jiaxin walked out of the bathroom, the drawers full of firearms, the empty villa, the flock of birds flying, and the strong wind blowing, as if she was the only one left in the world People are alive, and these scenes make the atmosphere very strange and terrifying. If Mr. Kang Jianfei goes to make a horror movie, I will definitely donate a movie ticket...

"Resident Evil" can be said to have created a new type of film, let's call it a zombie film. Magical imagination and steady narrative rhythm build a complete sci-fi world. I want to say that the main event should be in the second part. The suspense left at the end of this film is really itchy, and I am afraid that Kang Jianfei will dig a hole and not fill it as before. "

Paramount also invested in this film, and while it was released in Hong Kong, "Resident Evil" also met with North American audiences during Christmas. (To be continued.)
