Because of President Chiang's death, Taiwan was in chaos for a long time, and Li, the heir who had already been decided, stabilized the situation.
At this time, the first batch of Taiwanese veterans who returned to the mainland had set off to fly to Hong Kong to the mainland, starting open civil exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan’s new president Li chose to further open up politics in order to win more support from others.
The Taiwan News Bureau's ban on Kang Jianfei was finally loosened in essence. On the first day of the US awarding the Golden Globe Award, Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin flew to Taipei.
"Rain Man" won a total of four nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and finally won two awards for Best Actor and Best Picture, and then won eight Oscar nominations.
If you want to win an Oscar, it is impossible to wait. You have to let the judges leave a good impression of your movie in advance.
In the 1980s, it would cost at least several million dollars to lobby companies to lobby the judges if they wanted a movie to win the favor of Oscar judges and eventually nominated or even awarded.
In order to make "Rain Man" hit the Oscar, Kang Jianfei has spent $5 million in lobbying expenses, but it seems to be effective at the moment.
It has already been worth the price after winning eight nominations. Even if "Rain Man" ultimately failed to win the award, its popularity of eight Oscar nominations has increased by at least 10 to 20 million US dollars in global box office. In addition, the sales of audio tapes and soundtracks have increased, at least it is not a loss in terms of input and output.
If you can win one or two big prizes, you will make a lot of money.
When Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin landed at Taipei Airport, the screening of "Rain Man" in North America had ended, with a total box office of more than 172 million US dollars, becoming the annual box office champion of movies released in North America in 1987 (the second place was the comedy "Three Dads and One Baby" produced by a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, with a box office of 167 million US dollars).
The producer of "Rain Man" Anne Hurd, director Barry Levinson, and protagonists Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise became famous because of the film. Tom Cruise also successfully lost the hat of a slutty star and became a powerful actor accepted by the public.
As for the investor behind Kang Jianfei, many people also know about Paramount's deliberate publicity.
At least after "Rainman" won the annual box office championship, its investors took over Paramount and immediately made Paramount's stock rise a little.
James Cameron immediately announced that he would prepare to film "Terminator 2" (the producer is still Oriental Film Company), and seeks help from Industrial Light and Magic for computer special effects, and Paramount is also planning to produce "The Pretty Beauty" and "The Love of Man and Ghost".
If the filming of these three movies, "The Pretty Beauty", is successful, it may be released on Christmas this year, and the other two will not be released at least next summer.
The huge success of "Rain Man" in the box office has attracted the attention of global film manufacturers, but Kang Jianfei will not negotiate the price with those film manufacturers until the Oscars are over.
In Hong Kong, perhaps due to the aftermath of stock market crash, or perhaps because "My Savage Girlfriend" is not liked by older audiences. This phenomenon-level movie has a box office of only 32.88 million in Hong Kong, which is 9 million less than Kang Jianfei's previous film "Fang Fang".
Even so, the box office of 31.88 million still makes "My Savage Girlfriend" the champion of Christmas.
DreamWorks will be released in the new year with "Shushan 2" carefully created by Tsui Hark. This sequel is still starring He Jiajin and Li Saifeng. The high box office of 34.76 million is basically achieved. You should know that the first movie of "Shushan" has won more than 38 million in Hong Kong.
The only unexpected gain of "Shushan 2" is that Xu Jinjiang, who is the villain, has become famous and has actually appeared some fans of Xu Jinjiang.
Whether it is Christmas or New Year's time, the Hong Kong film market is uniquely dominated by DreamWorks movies.
However, in the subsequent Spring Festival period, the competition became a bit fierce. Three movies, "Flying Dragon" by Jiahe Pictures, "Eight Stars News" by Wanxiang Pictures, and "Wang Feihong 2", were released at the same time, and they were immediately in a dim situation.
By the Spring Festival, Hong Kong citizens had recovered from the stock market crash and were happy to celebrate the New Year. Watching movies is naturally one of the traditional celebration projects.
"The Flying Dragon" is directed by Sammo Hung, starring Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Dexian Ip. With the names of their three brothers, countless kung fu fans can be attracted by the names of their three brothers; "Eight Stars News" is written by Wong Pai-ming himself and directed by Johnnie To. It is starring eight stars: Chow Yun-fat, Alan Tam, Wong Pai-ming, Jacky Cheung, Cherie Chung, Wen Bixia, Feng Baobao and Cheng Yuling. Just looking at the cast can scare people, and it is absolutely a big cast.
Although the script of "Huang Feihong 2 Men Should Be Self-Strength" was written by Kang Jianfei, after being filmed by Wang Jing as a director, the overall style was like Wang's comedy, but finally the tone of this film has not changed yet.
Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, Mo Shaocong and Liang Xiaolong all performed well in the film. Huang Xia's movement design was influenced by Kang Jianfei for many years and has different advantages from another big bull, Yuan Heping.
How to say it, the movie "Huang Feihong 2" produced by Wang Jing is less serious and more playful and humorous in the original film, but finally the chivalrous and righteousness remain unabated, and the fighting scenes are also very different from the original film.
The three films fought during the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly and reasonable, Huang Baiming's new company, Vientiane Film, successfully defeated "The Flying Dragon" and "The Wong Feihong 2", and has been leading the box office since its release.
After the Lantern Festival, three films were painted one after another. "Eight Stars" ranked first with a box office of more than 36.85 million, and "Flying Dragon" and "Wong Feihong 2" won a box office of 30.87 million and 30.2 million respectively.
During the same period, three movies had a box office of over 30 million yuan at the same time. This result made many outsiders jealous of investors, and also showed that the Hong Kong film market further boomed and was not affected by the stock market crash a few months ago.
Of course, another impact of the box office of three movies exceeding 30 million is that all other movies released at the same time as these three movies failed!
Mr. Pan, who is ambitious to become a giant in the Hong Kong film industry, has not only been crushed by "My Savage Girlfriend" on Christmas, but another comedy released by Debao during the Spring Festival was sold for only more than 4 million yuan because the audience was stolen by three fierce films.
A movie sold for more than 4 million during the Spring Festival is equivalent to having basically few viewers in the entire theater. Pan Disheng is not only a floppy movie, but his Debao theater also suffered serious losses during the Spring Festival, and he was so depressed that he was so depressed that he vomited blood.
Also depressed are Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong from Xinbao Cinema, as well as Zeng Zhiwei from his good friend Film Company. They also want to get a share of the Spring Festival, and the result can be imagined.
However, Mai Jia and Shi Tian from Xinyi City are lucky. Due to unexpected reasons, Xinyi City was originally preparing to release during the Spring Festival, but they changed the schedule with the "Eight Stars Newspaper", which was originally released in the New Year. They just avoided the risk of fighting with several fierce films and barely won more than 16 million box office.
This time, "Ming Pao Weekly" chose Kang Jianfei and Huang Baiming as the cover character, saying that Huang Baiming was reborn from the ashes, while Kang Jianfei rose straight up.
Huang Baiming had a really beautiful time this time. He withdrew from Xinyi City to establish Vientiane Film. Almost no one was optimistic about him, but he created a Spring Festival champion movie for Huang Baiming.
Kang Jianfei's Dream Factory is even more terrifying. The box office of all three movies in three consecutive periods exceeded 30 million, and it is undoubtedly the most profitable film company in Hong Kong.
As for Kang Jianfei becoming the second largest shareholder of Paramount Pictures, he had already jumped out of the small quagmire of Hong Kong and ran to compete with the giant Hollywood crocodiles.
Even the Hong Kong Federation of the International Youth Chamber of Commerce, which is politically oriented, cannot sit still this time, and internal discussions began to send Kang Jianfei the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong this year.
At this moment, Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia had already arrived in Taipei, and the people who picked up the plane were Lin Fengjiao and Yu Kanping.
Since Lin Fengjiao followed Kang Jianfei, she felt tired of filming, so she simply retired. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about her future life.
Yu Kanping is already the general manager of the Taiwan branch of Oriental Dream Factory. After being banned by the Taiwan authorities, he became an independent director in Taiwan.
With Kang Jianfei's secret investment, Yu Kanping has also filmed several art films in Taiwan over the years, with both good and bad box offices, but in general, it is still a small loss.
In order to lift the ban, Yu Kanping and Lin Fengjiao have been busy all the time. Unfortunately, the chaotic political situation in Taiwan is destined to be no one who will pay attention to them during this period.
Taiwan's current director of the News Bureau, Shao Yuming, was a scholar professor. Before becoming the director of the News Bureau, he was also director of the Taiwan Institute of Political Science and Technology.
This person is very cautious. After joining the News Bureau last year, he has been busy with publicity affairs on the island and it is impossible for him to lift Kang Jianfei's ban.
It would be fine if Kang Jianfei was a young actor, but few people would pay attention to whether to block or not, but Kang Jianfei is now influential in the international market, and Shao Yuming dared not make any mistakes in special times.
Director Shao didn't come forward, and seemed to have some concerns. He was too cautious as an official. When Yu Kanping saw Kang Jianfei, he said that Deputy Director Zhang of the News Bureau promised to have a meal together the night after tomorrow, and the matter was basically resolved.Now President Li is calling for political openness and it is a matter of time before he lifts Mr. Kang's ban.
Lao Yu, thank you for your hard work in this matter, and you ran for more than half a year.Kang Jianfei thanked.
Yu Kanping smiled and said: I don’t work hard, I even contact people occasionally, and Miss Lin has helped a lot.
Lin Fengjiao used to film at China Film Company, and she knew more official figures than Brigitte Lin who was filming everywhere. She helped build a bridge, which really made Yu Kanping twice the result with half the effort.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said to Lin Fengjiao: Fengjiao, thank you for your hard work.
Lin Fengjiao smiled indifferently and said: I just help you make a few phone calls, let’s get in the car first.
At this time, the first batch of Taiwanese veterans who returned to the mainland had set off to fly to Hong Kong to the mainland, starting open civil exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
