Dreams of the Fragrant River

In mid-January, Sha Tin Racecourse. Hunting ""wen" net "

The famous Hong Kong Cup first-level horse racing competition in the future is still called the Hong Kong International Cup, and the level is only the second-level race. The timing of this event is erratic. It was first held in January, later changed to December, and then changed to November to December. In previous years, it was changed to April, and this year it was changed to January.

Kang Jianfei and Weng Hong were seated in the VIP seats, next to the horse breeder Li Weili and jockey Zhou Dunyang, the son of "Red Pepper" "Dazao".

On the stage temporarily built in the arena, the opening ceremony is still being held.

Suddenly, the host mentioned Kang Jianfei's name: "...this Hong Kong International Cup, Mr. Kang Jianfei, Chairman of Oriental Entertainment Group, also personally appeared to support him, everyone applauded!"

The camera lens suddenly swung this way, and Kang Jianfei also appeared on the big screen on the sidelines. In the midst of a round of applause, Kang Jianfei waved at the camera, and then continued to sit there and watch the excitement.

While waiting for the host to introduce other guests, jockey Zhou Dunyang said enthusiastically: "Mr. Kang, Dazao is really a natural racehorse. Last year, it was a **** of progress."

Horse breeder Li Weili also said: "Yeah, after running two promotion races, Dazao will be firmly in the ranks of the second class. In May, it is absolutely eligible to participate in the Audemars Piguet Queen's Cup!"

"You two have worked hard." Kang Jianfei said with a smile, he didn't really care about his horses, and usually didn't bother to pay attention to Hong Kong's record.

But I have to say that the jujube guy is really powerful. The foal, which is only 2.5 years old, has been promoted from the fifth class to the third class in only half a year, and will soon be upgraded to the second class. Its data is still growing, and if nothing else, it will be able to debut in international competitions in a few months.

"Miss Li Jiaxin please!"

As the host's voice fell, Li Jiaxin, who was wearing a dress, appeared in high heels. She is a special guest star invited by Longines, the sponsor of Marseille, and wears a bright Longines watch on her wrist.

She came out this morning to make an appearance, say a few words, and make an appearance at a dinner party in the evening. By the way, she would answer a few questions from reporters. The commercial remuneration of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars was just in hand.

This price tag is close to Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi. Such a high appearance fee is also due to the popularity of "Resident Evil" in Hong Kong and North America. Nowadays, Oriental Entertainment's brokerage company must add the prefix of "international actress" when promoting Li Jiaxin, which is forced to rise.

"Li Jiaxin! Li Jiaxin!"

"Michelle, Michelle!"

"Monica, Monica!"

"..."

At the moment when Li Jiaxin appeared, the voices of many fans suddenly burst out in the audience, shouting wildly Li Jiaxin's Chinese, Portuguese and English names.

It can be seen from the reactions of these fans how popular "Resident Evil" is in Hong Kong. The weekly box office of 1300,000 was just an appetizer. As the word of mouth of the film spread, many viewers who already hated Hong Kong films were bombed out and went into the theater to take a look.

In the second week of its release, the box office of "Resident Evil" actually rose instead of falling, and it jumped to 1800,000, which shocked the film industry colleagues. Correspondingly, for other movies that were also released, the attendance rate was so dismal, and the audience was all taken away by "Resident Evil".

Although the box office in the third week fell rapidly, it was still as much as 1200,000, and the cumulative box office reached 4300,000.

It is now the fourth week. Although the attendance rate has been greatly reduced, it should be no problem to maintain the weekly box office of 800,000. Such terrifying data is comparable to Cheng Long's "Red Fan District" (5.69 million) last year.

Hong Kong people are really crazy. The popularity of "Resident Evil" this time is actually the same as the obsession when watching "God of Gamblers". In different time and space, even the poor quality "Resident Evil 5" has won the box office champion in Hong Kong for several weeks. It is conceivable that Hong Kong movie fans love zombie movies.

In a way, this is a continuation of the zombie movie.

Lin Zhengying, who has been directing and starring in zombie movies for many years, is now in a very miserable situation. He has invested in several movies in a row and has lost money, and he has also invested his years of savings. After watching "Resident Evil", he was both disappointed and excited. He often said in front of his girlfriend Yuan Danqiong: "Mr. Kang created a zombie film, and now he has ended the zombie film with his own hands. But think about it from another angle, this is another It's a revival of a zombie movie."

Yuan Danqiong encouraged: "Mr. Kang can make zombie movies, so can you!"

Lin Zhengying was very excited after listening to it. He didn't know how to play with technology, but he did a lot of research on Maoshan Taoism. As a result, Lin Zhengying found a friend to work together to come up with a script, and then excitedly went to DreamWorks for investment.

After Kang Jianfei found out, he even read the book, and he was dumbfounded. Lin Zhengying's new script is called "Maoshan Taoist Vs Zombies", and the beginning is similar to that of "Resident Evil", all of which are leaked by zombie viruses. It's a pity that the protagonist became a Taoist priest, using traditional Maoshan Taoism to fight zombies for 300 rounds, during which all kinds of funny routines and jokes.

This Nima is a zombie movie in sci-fi skin!

Not only Lin Zhengying, when "Resident Evil" became popular in Hong Kong and the United States, many film companies in Hong Kong wanted to follow suit. Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng and Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe are already tinkering with zombie scripts, and they have also invited popular stars from all walks of life to participate.

According to the current shooting rate of Hong Kong films, it is estimated that a large number of zombie films will be released from the end of February to April. It's a pity that these guys who follow the trend are reluctant to spend even the cost of computer special effects, and even the makeup of the zombies.

Even Zhou Xingchi's "God of Cookery~www.wuxiaspot.com~" is trying to add zombie stalks to spoof. By the way, "Westward Journey" has been shown in more than 6 places, and it's bruised. Beijing is the largest box office in the mainland market. The combined box office of the two films of "Westward Journey" is less than 450,000 yuan. Some theaters have only shown them for two days before quickly withdrawing because the attendance rate is too low.

However, "Journey to the West" was hurriedly ended in mainland theaters and was thrown to the Beijing Film Academy to be played, and it was a huge hit. Perhaps, only young students know how to appreciate this previous movie.

"Quick, quick, let the lightning gun catch up!" Chen Baixiang patted the seat and shouted frantically, the Hong Kong International Cup has officially started.

Li Jiaxin also returned to the guest seat, completely disregarding the cameras of the gossip paparazzi, and leaned affectionately beside Kang Jianfei to watch the game. She also made a bet, piggybacking and shouting with restraint, then suddenly stood up to applaud—she got it.

"Alas! It's just a little bit." Chen Boxiang was downcast.

In the afternoon, Weng Hong answered the phone and said, "Brother Fei, Blizzard has let go."
