Chapter 570: The wind is going to the end

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Six movies compete for the 1986 Hong Kong summer season. The first one to fail was "Baobu" produced by Yindu Institution. It was released for a whole week before it won a box office of 2.27 million yuan. Half a month later, the total box office was 3.28 million yuan.

The second is Sylvia Chang's directorial debut "Favorite". The film produced by New Art City is starring Lam, Sylvia Chang and Miao Qianren. Its box office is 4.38 million in the first week, and the box office in the second week was only 2.74 million. It was released in the third week only two days after it was released, and the total box office was 7.36 million.

In addition, the Hollywood blockbuster "Top Gun" starring Tomco and Sister Kelly won more than 170 million US dollars in North America, with a total global box office of 350 million US dollars.

Because its box office performance was so good, "Top Gun" was bought by Anle Theater in Hong Kong for release just after its film in North America. Jiang Zhiwen has great expectations for it.

Unfortunately, this year's North American annual box office champion blockbuster is not popular among Hong Kong audiences. It took three weeks to release the box office to get 4.85 million yuan, only a few hundred thousand more than the first week of "Favorite".

In the 1980s, it was difficult for Hong Kong movies to enter Hollywood, but in the same way, Hollywood blockbusters should not come to Hong Kong to make money casually.

The truly decent box office competition took place between "Mr. Smith", "Marriage of the Clusters" and "The Ghosts and the Better Star".

After more than half a month of fierce fighting, "Marrying the Miscellaneous Brands" produced by Zeng Zhiwei's good friend film company was eliminated first, with a box office of 16.63 million in Hong Kong.

After the second film of "Marriage of the Miscellaneous Brands", Xinbao Cinemas was followed by "Royal Special Police" produced by Debao, starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Rolfro and Wang Minde, basically taking the "Senior Sister Royal".

The release of "Royal SWAT" brought a little impact to "The Better Star", whose attendance rate plummeted three weeks after its release, barely supporting the fourth week to win a box office of 24.92 million.

Only DreamWorks' "Mr. Smith" has been advancing rapidly and has not been affected by other films at all.

After Kang Jianfei's adaptation, this movie is more in line with Asian viewing habits. Kang Jianfei and Cherie Chung's costumes and their occasional warm and humorousness, coupled with the popular action gun battle scenes, made Hong Kong audiences unable to stop watching.

After being released for more than a month, the "Royal SWAT" that emerged in the middle has already been released, and has only achieved a box office of more than 15 million yuan. The attendance rate of "Mrs. Smiths" is still very strong.

Originally released in August, "The Gambler 2". The film is produced by Wang Jing, directed by Lee Lizhi, and starring Stephen Chow, Leslie Cheung, Wen Bixia and Ye Zimèi.

However, due to the continued popularity of "Mr. Smiths", the schedule of "Gambling Saints 2" had to be postponed indefinitely.

From mid-July to early September, "Mr. Smith" was released on Oriental Theater for 56 days, with a final box office of 38.43 million.

This is another summer movie carnival. Cherie Chung's sexy film has been deeply rooted in people's hearts after the film was popular. Some media have begun to call her the sexy goddess and the Oriental Marilyn Monroe.

After Kang Jianfei pretended to be handsome in the film, he actually had a large number of female fans. These female fans also wrote to DreamWorks, hoping that Kang Jianfei's next movie could continue to direct and act.

Although some newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily have been picking on them, most media have praised the movie.

The quality of director Kang Jianfei's works is unquestionable. What everyone wants to know most now is not whether Kang Jianfei's movies can be sold, but when will his movies break through the box office mark of 40 million.

"Oriental Daily".

The couple was holding heavy weapons to fight each other in their living room. This action scene made the audience stunned and laughed. Kang Jianfei's movies were always unexpected."Daily Express".

The whole story is absurd, bizarre and humorous. Many lines in "Mr. Smith" have profound meanings and are a rare brain-filled action movie."Ming Pao".

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" swept this summer, and Kang Jianfei once again proved his status as a commercial director with the box office."Xiangjiang Business Daily"

……

hooligan!At the pick-up gate of the Capital Airport, Ye Zipei, who had not met for several months, suppressed his excitement and waved to Kang Jianfei.

Three bodyguards Zhang Degong, Zhu Zhenguo and Liu Fei were dragging their luggage behind, and Kang Jian walked quickly over and hugged Ye Zipei tightly, and gave him a warm hug.

Although Chinese people rarely make out on the streets these days, fortunately, many foreign film and television works have flowed in, so the surrounding passengers are not surprised by the actions of the two.

But Ye Zipei felt a little embarrassed.Because Ye Zishan and others were also beside her, she pushed Kang Jianfei away and whispered: Don’t do this!

Outside the airport hall, there were two cars, one of Hu Juncai's private car and the other was Ye Zishan's bus.

Hu Juncai's private car is very interesting. It looks square and rigid, but it has some subtle curves and edges, which can be described as cleverness and clumsiness.

At first glance, the car's appearance is so ugly. If you look at it a few more times, you will find that it has a little smell. It is an extremely classic and pleasing model.

Kang Jianfei got into the car and asked: What kind of car is Ah, it has a very unique personality. I will get one another day.

Hu Juncai introduced: Lada 2105, a rough car imported from the Soviet Union, can't be compared with your car.

Ye Zipei lives in Ye’s house in the capital now, and Kang Jianfei rarely goes to a hotel and lives directly into a courtyard house in Xicheng District.

This courtyard was bought by Kang Jianfei for help. It cost a total of 600,000 yuan to go to government relations and resettle the original residents. At this time, the ordinary courtyard courtyard in Beijing was only 5,000 or 6,000 yuan.

The reason why Kang Jianfei spent so much money to buy Siheyuan was because he bought the Guojun Prince's Mansion in the top-grade Mengrui Hutong in Siheyuan in Beijing.

Yes, it is the Prince Guo in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

However, the Guojun Prince's Mansion is too big, divided into dozens of courtyards, with a total of 150 or 60 houses.

Kang Jianfei only bought the 600,000 yuan of courtyards No. 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 of Guojun Prince's Mansion.

If Kang Jianfei didn't buy it, these houses would be demolished in 20 years and only part of the No. 45 Courtyard. He felt that he was not only taking advantage of the situation to buy good things, but also protecting cultural relics.

After several months of renovation and decoration, the five courtyards have become completely renewed, many times better than Hu Juncai’s purchase.

After the founding of New China, the courtyard houses in the capital have basically become large courtyards. Hu Juncai's courtyard house is a typical example. You can hear children crying and couples quarrels every day, and even his mother can't drive them away.

Kang Jianfei was much more generous. The resident who originally lived in five courtyards, he directly paid 5,000 yuan for his family. The money was more than enough to buy a house. The indigenous people happily moved out quickly.

I have to say that Kang Jianfei has too many RMB in his hands and has been spent in an endless amount of money.

All the money earned by selling movies in mainland China is RMB, and this money cannot be exchanged for US dollars or Hong Kong dollars at all. I can only find ways to invest and spend it in mainland China.

In addition to building cinemas, opening department stores and record companies, Kang Jianfei really didn't know how to spend money, so he could only buy things everywhere to turn RMB into fixed assets.

Moreover, Kang Jianfei's department stores and record companies are also making money every day, and the RMB in his hands is becoming more and more. He simply donated half of the money he has spent to exchange for a good reputation.

Just after this year's Spring Festival, Kang Jianfei donated 2 million yuan to the local governments that cooperated with him to build cinemas, 1 million yuan to each of the ten best universities in the country, and then donated 1 million and 2 million yuan to Dengfeng County and Zhengzhou City where Shaolin Temple is located, respectively, and then donated a total of 10 million yuan in student assistance to more than a dozen poor areas.

Kang Jianfei donated more than 40 million yuan that he could not spend within a month, and his generous actions have surpassed Boss Shao and Huo Daheng, and he suddenly became a big red capitalist.

The leaders of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office and the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency were also extremely happy because Kang Jianfei's patriotic behavior was their great political achievements.

This place is nice!Kang Jianfei walked into his yard No. 45 of Guojun Prince's Mansion and couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the pavilions and terraces are not as delicate and exquisite as the southern gardens, this Prince's Mansion has its own grand and luxurious nature. Compared with the Prince's Mansion with deep courtyards and carved beams and painted buildings, Kang Jianfei felt that his Villa No. 4 of Repulse Bay is garbage.

Ye Zipei is here for the first time, and he can't help but praise: It's so beautiful here, it's almost over to the palace.

Hu Juncai said: You don’t know that this No. 45 courtyard is a little better. When I first bought the No. 41 and No. 43 courtyard, the yard was full of dirt and water, the foundation was a bit rotten, and the walls in many places were also broken.These few renovations cost tens of thousands of yuan, which is enough to buy ten courtyards in Beijing.

Kang Jianfei said: If you like it, you can move in. Anyway, the yard is empty and it will only get moldy.

Good Ah, you can come here to relax if you have nothing to do.Ye Zishan said first that she could not stand the family after all, and now she has honestly joined the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and worked as a small clerk.

Hu Juncai is now a shareholder and general manager of Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company and Oriental International Cinema (Cinema Company). His wealth is not only in the mainland, but he is a little rich man even in Hong Kong, so he naturally won’t come here to live.

Several people sat under the tree in the royal palace garden, and placed a pot of tea on a stone table. It was quite interesting for everyone to drink tea and chat.

After talking for a long time, the topic was earned to the main business. Hu Juncai said: "Shushan" sold well in the mainland, but the box office was only less than 30 million. Do you believe it?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Anyway, the mainland box office DreamWorks of "Shushan" are less than a cent, so it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not.

Hu Juncai said seriously: I mean, the market response of the films released by DreamWorks in the mainland last year was very good, but the box office was smaller than that of the other.

Why Ah?Ye Zipei asked curiously.

Hu Juncai explained: Major theaters are becoming more and more rampant. In the past, they only sold pirated copies and concealed the box office one month after the movie was released, making some money to pay the benefits of the unit.Now, it is daring to do whatever it takes to make random things as soon as it is released. Some cinemas dare to screen pirated copies from beginning to end. All these box offices are divided by local governments and cinemas.

Alas, forget it, this is the environment.

Kang Jianfei said with emotion that this phenomenon was still common in 2000, and you can't control it at all.

It's still good now. At least most of the box office has been reported. Ten years later, a movie sold for 30 million yuan. The film can see that the box office of 10 million yuan is considered good, so the cinema makes a lot of money, but the film production companies lose money.

The total box office revenue of Chinese movies was so low in the past decade. In addition to the invasion of pirated VCDs and DVDs, another important reason is that cinemas make fakes and lose money in many Chinese-language movies that should have made money. As a result, directors can only make money by selling overseas copyrights by winning prizes, and few people make movies for domestic box office.

Hu Juncai said: The best way is to build more of my own cinemas. I plan to expand the scale of Oriental International Cinema to 8 this year. I have already made the official relationship and will start construction next month.

Kang Jianfei had a lot of RMB in his hand anyway, so he smiled and said: You can do it.

After talking about the cinema, Hu Juncai said goodbye.Kang Jianfei asked Ye Zipei, Sister Pei, what happened to Xiongfei Records Company?

Ye Zipei smiled and said: I counted the money and my hands were cramped. The company's net profit last year was more than 11 million.

How many?Kang Jianfei looked at Ye Zipei in surprise. There were only seven or eight employees and singers from Xiongfei Records Company, and he actually had a net profit of tens of millions.

Ye Zipei said: Last year, Li Lingyu released two records, with sales of more than 2 million yuan, and she earned most of the company's profits.

Well, this is the benefit of a large population base. In Hong Kong with a developed economy, it would be good if Anita Mui posted a record and sold 200,000 copies, while the mainland with a backward economy could sell millions of copies at every turn.

Moreover, the record tapes in mainland China were sold at this time, with a tape costing five or six yuan, while the monthly salary of most workers was less than 100 yuan.

Kang Jianfei nodded and praised: Well, that's right. Send her more red envelopes to avoid being poached.

Ye Zipei smiled and said: You need to say that you have given the red envelope long ago. Ayu is now a little rich woman, with at least 200,000 yuan in the bank.

This is not an era of showing off wealth. People are afraid of being known when they have money. Many households with 10,000 yuan are just like beggars, for fear that if they have too much money, they will become criticized by capitalists.

In an interview before the New Year, Li Lingyu excitedly told reporters that she was almost a household of ten thousand yuan by singing...

Ye Zipei said: "A Fei, your song is well written, and every capital is very popular."

It's Ah, Ye Zishan said in a verbal voice, "The Moon Goes, I Go, I Go" song Li Lingyu was popular on the Spring Festival Gala, and now it's played all over the streets, and my dad likes to listen to it very much.

Kang Jianfei smiled shamelessly: Haha, Ayu sang well.
