9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
"Shushan" is a big hit in the global box office, so it is naturally necessary to hold a celebration banquet.

Just a few days after Macau TV started broadcasting, on the eve of the upcoming release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", DreamWorks held a large-scale celebration banquet for Tsui Hark Studio. At least half of the signed artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency were invited to participate, and many independent directors and actors also came.

Congratulations, congratulations to "Shushan" for its great success, and also wish Mr. Kang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" a hit box office!

Zeng Zhiwei got off the car and just met Kang Jianfei. He immediately bowed with his fists and congratulated him with a smile on his face.

Seriously speaking, Eric Tsang, who was originally the film production manager of DreamWorks, actually left DreamWorks to cooperate with Sammo Hung and Mai Jia to shoot movies, and the films he made were fighting with "Shushan" to grab the audience, which was considered a very bad behavior.

But Zeng Zhiwei is really good at being a human being. Not only did he talk to Kang Jianfei in private several times before leaving DreamWorks, but he also took care of Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company in various ways.

For example, among the actors in "The Rich Train", one-third are artists under Kang Jianfei. His good friend, the male and female protagonists of the next movie in the Film Company, are also Leslie Cheung and Wen Bixia.

Today's celebration banquet in "Shushan" did not invite Zeng Zhiwei, but this guy came to participate. He also wished Kang Jianfei a big hit as soon as he met. Can Kang Jianfei drive people away?

Your "Fugui Train" also sold well, congratulations to Boss Zeng!Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Zeng Zhiwei quickly said modestly: In front of Mr. Kang, I am not a boss.

While the two were talking and laughing, the entertainment reporters had already gathered around.Although some people were curious about how Zeng Zhiwei appeared here, the focus of the reporters was on Kang Jianfei.

Mr. Kang, there are rumors that the global box office of "Shushan" has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Is it true?A reporter asked first.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and smiled: Of course not true, it's still several million dollars away.

The reporters immediately exclaimed collectively, and several questions were related to "Shushan". They waited until Kang Jian quickly entered the elevator before turning the topic to Kang Jianfei's new film "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The reporter asked: Mr. Kang, "The Best Partner: Saving the Crazy Bo" is coming in full force. Are your "A Chinese Ghost Story" sure to win the box office?

Kang Jianfei replied ambiguously: I have confidence in my movie.

The reporter asked: But this time in "Best Partner", Xu Guanjie, Mai Jia, Wong Pai Ming, Teddy Robin, Sylvia Chang, Hu Huizhong, Cao Dahua, Shi Jian, Guan Dexing and other stars joined, and the heroine Joey Wong seems to be not worth enough in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Now she is not worth enough, and she will be worth it after "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released.

After saying this domineering words, Kang Jianfei had already stepped into the elevator. The reporters wanted to chase him in for an interview, but were blocked by his bodyguard.

Brigitte Lin, who had been following Kang Jianfei, only spoke at this time: A Fei, Macau Satellite TV has your shares?

It's Ah, what's wrong?Kang Jianfei asked back.

Although the Portuguese-Macao government has publicized the shareholding structure of Macau TV, few local people in Macau have returned to pay attention to it, let alone other places.

Now that Macau TV has just become popular in Taiwan and Nanyang, few people know that Macau TV has Kang Jianfei.

Brigitte Lin also discovered the Macau TV program. When the host asked all the guests from Oriental Entertainment Agency, she remembered that the real boss of Macau TV was Kang Jianfei. She smiled and said: I just came back from Taiwan. Macau TV is now causing a headache for the News Bureau and the Police Department.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Putting aside political factors, with Taiwan’s current economic development speed, it will be a matter of time before martial law is lifted.

It's really funny to say that Taiwan has now developed into an international factory, with dozens of commodities accounting for the world's largest output.

Taiwanese people with bulging pockets have already traveled all over the world, but there are still strange laws such as martial law on the island. According to regulations, ordinary people are not allowed to answer or watch overseas radio and television, otherwise they can be regarded as bandits who collude with the enemy and treason.

The audience of Macau TV in Taiwan spread, and countless bandit spies were created in just a few days.

Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin went upstairs smoothly, but Tsui Hark, Li Saifeng, He Jiajin and others downstairs couldn't make it. As the main creators of the film, they are the real protagonists today.

"Shushan" has a cumulative box office of US$96.75 million, surpassing Bruce Lee's "Rapid Dragons"'s box office of US$85 million, becoming the number one Chinese-language movie at the box office!

After obtaining specific box office data, Oriental Daily made a front-page headline the next day, and also reported in the main text the popularity of "Shushan" in Japan.

In fact, seriously, although the box office of "Shushan" is higher than that of Bruce Lee's "The Raptor Crossing the River", the ticket prices in Hong Kong have increased by 6 times during the monetary inflation period over the past decade, and the number of viewers of "Shushan" is far less than that of "The Raptor Crossing the River".

But you don’t have to worry about this when doing news reports, and readers generally don’t think deeply.

After collecting a advertising fee for DreamWorks, Oriental Daily began to use the hot-selling news of "Shushan" to promote Kang Jianfei's new film "A Chinese Ghost Story", claiming that the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were created by the original class of "Shushan" and was a sister chapter of "Shushan" directed by Kang Jianfei himself.

There are many movie fans who have never read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" who believe that the movie tickets for "A Chinese Ghost Story" are waiting for the release of the movie.

"Shushan" sister chapter, Lei Juekun threw the newspaper on the coffee table and said with a smile, DreamWorks is also doing everything he wants to promote the new film.

Mai Jia patted his chest and said: Mr. Lei, don’t worry this time. We worked hard to do "The Best Partner: Saving the Crazy Po for a Thousand Miles" and the box office will be 30 million if nothing unexpected happens.

You guys, use more attention to making movies.Lei Juekun became a little tired after saying a few words. His health has become worse and worse in the past two years.

The deeds of Maijia's stock speculation and Shitian's real estate speculation have long been spread in the circle, and the two parties involved are not ashamed but proud, because they did make a lot of money by speculating in stocks and real estate speculation.

If it weren't for the severe losses in Xinyi City last year, Mai Jia and Shi Tian probably wouldn't have the intention to make movies in person. Anyway, Xinyi City has signed many directors now, so let's just let them go and do whatever they want. As the boss, they should grasp the general direction.

In the "Best Partner" series, two of them had a box office of more than 30 million, so Mai Jia had great confidence in the box office of this film.

This year's Spring Festival period also has four movies released at the same time. In addition to "The Best Partner: Saving the Crazy Po for a Thousand Miles" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are also "Eight Happinesses" from Debao Film Company and "Youth Crazy Hall" from Jiahe Film.

It is worth mentioning that the male and female protagonists of "Youth Bad House" are Tony Leung and Tsang Huaqian, both of whom are popular actors of TVB, but are now allowed to participate in the filming of Jiahe's movies.

Tony Leung and Tsang Huaqian are lucky. The most popular ones in TVB are the Five Tiger Generals and the Kowloon Girl. Currently, Andy Lau, among the Five Tiger Generals, and Lan Jieying, among the Kowloon Girls, are both in a state of being banned and hidden.

The reason why Andy Lau was hidden by TVB is because he was too loyal. He had an unhappy relationship with TVB because he complained that the five-year appointment was too long, and he planned to change jobs together with the Five Tiger Generals.

As a result, both Xinyi City and Jiahe were only willing to sign him and Tony Leung, and were not interested in the other three, but Andy Lau always insisted on signing together with the five.

As a result, TVB discovered this during the period and first did the work of Tony Leung.

After Tony Leung gave up his job change, Miu Qiaowei and the other three were obediently staying on TVB. In the end, Andy Lau was left alone and he was hiding for more than a year.

As for Lan Jieying being hidden, she asked herself to be a self-confessed. This beauty has the title of "The Beautiful Mountain of Wutai". Mount Wutai once gathered more than half of Hong Kong female stars. You can imagine how beautiful Lan Jieying is.

Lan Jieying was highly praised by TVB from the beginning. She felt that the five-year contract was too long, and she had to change the contract for two years, which was something Andy Lau had never done.

Before she could wait for Lan Jieying to become popular, she was hidden because she was unwilling to cut her hair short while filming "Big Hong Kong". She re-activated it a few months later. Not long after, she had an unhappy relationship with the director and the producer. Finally, she was found by the producer to find an excuse for being late for filming and continued to ban it.

The Spring Festival holiday will officially begin tomorrow, and several major companies have set the release time of the movie on Friday afternoon.

Based on the lunar calendar, today is the last day of work this year. After get off work, many people go crazy, either go home early to sleep, or call friends to sing karaoke. Many people choose to go to the cinema with their girlfriends or family.

Kowloon, Kwun Tong Theater, there was a long queue of ticket purchases before 7 o'clock in the evening.

A man finally got in front and said: I want two "A Chinese Ghost Story" games, I want a seat in front in the middle.

Only the front row is at 7:20. Do you want the game at 8:30?The ticket seller asked.

It's 8:30.The man thought about it and said.

One is 23, two are 46 yuan.The ticket seller said.

The man was surprised: 23 yuan per card?How could it be so expensive!

The ticket seller explained: The ticket price of movies has been rising for several days, and the ticket you bought is a good location for the prime time during the prime time period. It is definitely more expensive, and it will be cheaper during the day.

When Kang Jianfei just came through, the average ticket price of Hong Kong movies was less than 7 yuan, which has nearly tripled in a few years.

The man didn't care anymore and paid for two movie tickets. After leaving, he suddenly said to his girlfriend: The man who bought the tickets looked so familiar.

His girlfriend also looked back and exclaimed: Is that ticket seller Andy Lau?

The headlines of the entertainment page of Hong Kong newspapers in the following days were not that "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Best Partner" were popular at the box office, but that after the popular star Andy Lau was banned by TVB, he actually went to the cinema to be a ticket seller.
