On February 20, 1984, if someone compiles the history of Hong Kong films in the future, this day will definitely be recorded in the history of the films.
The establishment of Oriental Cinema Company means that after the four major theaters of Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, Princess Jin and Yindu, there has been a situation where five lines will be coexisted in Hong Kong.
The previous new era of theaters was destined to be short-lived. The loose organizational style means that it cannot last long. The bandit model of profits that come together and profits that go away have great limitations.
At this moment, the total number of cinemas in Hong Kong has reached 121. Although it is one-third less than the total number of 180 cinemas in 1969, the accounts cannot be settled like this.
In 1969, Hong Kong's economy was underdeveloped. Not to mention the New Territories, there were many places in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island that were undeveloped rural areas.
The so-called 180 theaters back then were largely open-air theaters, neighborhood theaters and rural theaters.
Today, about 80 of the 121 theaters in Hong Kong have more than 500 seats, while the total number of seats in the newly built multi-hall cinema in recent years is basically over 1,000.
The current situation in the Hong Kong film market is that there are too many film companies, limited audience base, and too densely distributed cinemas.
Sometimes in a better location, there are four or five theaters on one street, and the audience can snatch it up.
Under such circumstances, there will inevitably be a situation where the strong prey on the weak, and the market will eliminate the excess theater chains.
Shaw Brothers Cinema was eliminated first, but it will be a battle to see who can accept this Cinema.
The press conference for opening the online of Oriental Cinema was held at Taiping Theater. As the leading theater of Oriental Cinema, an online screening will be held here later. The invited reporters can continue to watch the movie after dinner.
The press conference started at 3:00 p.m., but reporters arrived one after another at around 2:00.At press conferences from hundreds of media, it is easier for photographers to get a good shooting position when they come earlier.
Kang Jianfei walked in the front, and besides Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Moren, there were eight other owners of the theaters.
Several people walked onto the temporary rostrum in a row. After the time was right, Jiang Zhiqiang first spoke: Dear reporters, thank you for taking the time to attend the press conference of Oriental Cinemas in his busy schedule.Now let me introduce the people around me: Mr. Kang Jianfei must everyone knows him. He is an internationally renowned director and a major shareholder of Oriental Cinema. In addition, this old man is Mr. Zhang Moren, the manager of Taiping Cinema, and he is also an old senior in the film industry. This is Mr. Chen Luoming, the boss of Maoxin Cinema, and this is Mr. Zhu Jin, the boss of Lianhe Cinema... Next, please invite Mr. Kang to speak.
Kang Jianfei was in a good mood today. Not only did he wear a suit and tie, but he even put on a tie. He smiled and said: From the moment he stepped onto Yuen Long's beach, I have been in Hong Kong for four years and five months.I am very happy that Oriental Cinema was established and I also thank all the journalists and Hong Kong citizens for their support.General Manager Jiang just introduced the general situation. What I want to add is that whether it is Oriental Entertainment or Oriental Cinemas, it will open its doors to all Hong Kong film companies.Everyone can’t find good actors or behind the scenes when making movies. Just contact Oriental Entertainment Company and ensure that you can arrange the most reasonable and affordable crew team for you.It doesn’t matter if the movies you shoot cannot be released in a place. As long as the quality of the film is excellent, Oriental Theater will not refuse anyone.Now Oriental Cinema has two long-term cooperation companies, Yongsheng Film Company and Century Pictures. I hope to have more friends to join the Oriental Cinema screening alliance...
Kang Jianfei's words were recorded by the reporter's recorder or small notebook, and the smell of pulling flags and standing on the hill was very strong.
Because whether it is Jiahe, Princess Jin, or even Yindu Cinema, they have built a large number of satellite film companies, while Oriental Cinema only has DreamWorks and its two studios, which will attract more collaborators to stabilize the high-quality film sources of theaters.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced some basic situations of Oriental Cinemas again. Several people on the rostrum also made brief speeches, and the press conference finally entered the free questioning session.
I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang, why don’t you run your own family theater chain, but choose to serve as the general manager of Oriental theater chain?
A female reporter took the lead in throwing the problem to Jiang Zhiqiang, which was beyond the expectations of many people.
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't expect that he was the first to be asked. He sorted out his words and said: First of all, Mr. Kang and I are good friends in private. We once worked in temporary theaters in the United States.It took me only over a month to make hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is equivalent to my total income in the previous six years.The plan for the temporary theater chain was proposed by Mr. Kang, so I believe that following him can make his career bigger.As for the family's Anle Cinema, it is enough to have my brother to manage it, and he has the ability to manage Anle Cinema well.
Next, the gentleman in red clothes in the second row asked a question.
Hello, Mr. Kang, I am a reporter from the Hong Kong Business Daily. The reporter stood up and said, "In just four years and five months, you started from scratch and founded a film company, an entertainment agency, a cinema chain, and acquired a TV station and a record company, and all of these companies are quite profitable."How did you do this? Can you share your successful experience with the citizens?
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: Although this question has nothing to do with the theme of today's press conference, I can still answer it.I think all successful people have the following commonalities: First, they must have goals and directions. If you don’t even know what you want to do, how can you succeed?Second, we must be able to persevere. Many times, we fail to do anything for Shan Jiuren. In fact, as long as we persist in one step, we can succeed.
Mr. Kang, do you think you have your name among the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong this year?Another reporter asked.
Whether my name depends on how they evaluate it. Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I would like to remind everyone again, please don't ask irrelevant questions."
Another reporter asked: Mr. Kang, some people say that there are too many cinemas in the downtown area of Hong Kong now, and there can be several cinemas on a street, which will cause fierce competition and dilute the box office.Do you agree with this view?
Kang Jianfei didn’t care whether there were many cinemas or not, and he asked back: Are there many cinemas in Hong Kong?I don't think there is much Ah.When Taiwanese films were booming a few years ago, there were hundreds of cinemas in Taipei alone, and Hong Kong is only in its early 100s.Moreover, the more cinemas there are, the more prosperous Hong Kong films are, which is a blessing.
The reporter asked: But the number of audiences is limited and there are too many cinemas in the same location, which will make everyone's attendance rate low.Moreover, in order to grab the box office, major theaters will release their respective films at the same time. Don’t you think this is a vicious competition?A movie that was supposed to have a box office of 30 million, but the box office may be only 20 million after competition?
Kang Jianfei said confidently: I don’t know if it’s a vicious competition. I only know that DreamWorks’ movies are not afraid of competing with others, because DreamWorks will not make shoddy movies.
Zhang Moren and Jiang Zhiqiang applauded first, and then a sparse applause rang out in Taiping Theater.
As long as the words are spoken beautifully, no one will investigate whether they are changing the topic. Some reporters also linked Kang Jianfei's shoddy work with Shaw Brothers, so that there will be news to write tomorrow.
……
Ye Zimèi stood by the roadside and kept looking at her watch, so anxious that she was almost crazy.
She was not qualified to participate in the online screening of Oriental Cinemas, because she wanted to star in Kang Jianfei's new film, Oriental Entertainment Company gave her an admission ticket.
But when I went to Taiping Theater to cross the sea, Ye Zimèi waited for more than half an hour but hadn't even called a taxi.
Not long ago, the Hong Kong government wanted to increase the taxi license fee, which caused a general strike in Hong Kong's taxi drivers, which made it particularly difficult to get a taxi these days.
Jackie Chan drove a luxury car to Hong Kong Island. Chen Ziqiang, who was in the co-pilot, suddenly pointed at Ye Zimèi who was waiting for the car on the side of the road and said in surprise: Hey, isn’t that big girl in front of him?
Jackie Chan turned his head and looked over and asked: Which big girl?
Chen Ziqiang said: It is Kang Jianfei's new film Ah, who seems to be named Ye Zimèi. Last month, many newspapers published her photos.
You read that right?Jackie Chan asked.
Chen Ziqiang smiled and said: You will definitely not read it wrong. Even if you don’t know the face, I will know her big wave.
Jackie Chan also said lewdly: Then do you want to fuck her?I'll just take her for a ride and create opportunities for you.
Chen Ziqiang quickly shook his head and said: I don’t have that idea. Maybe this woman has climbed onto Kang Jianfei’s bed, otherwise why would she choose her as the heroine?
Men in the entertainment industry are not only not a scandal, but rather a capital for showing off, and there are few serious people who end up being serious.
Like Sammo Hung later admitted that his first marriage broke down because his wife often went out to pick up girls and his wife couldn't stand it.
Not only are these big stars, but even the people behind the scenes.
After the decline of Hong Kong films, an old man from the Hong Kong film industry said to the new generation: You have missed a good time. The screenwriters ten years ago often took their bosses to nightclubs, but now they have no food to be directors.
Chen Ziqiang's words actually did not mean anything malicious, but instead had a sense of envy.
Jackie Chan saw the beauty and rubbed it upwards and parked directly in front of Ye Zimèi: Where is Miss Ye?
Are you Jackie Chan?
Ye Zi said in disbelief that she always felt that big stars like Jackie Chan were unattainable. When she met at the celebration banquet of "Deadly Express", Ye Zi Mèi didn't dare to go up and talk. Unexpectedly, Jackie Chan took the initiative to stop the car and say hello this time.
Chen Ziqiang whistled and asked: Beautiful girl, are you going there?
Ye Zimèi replied: I'll go to Taiping Theater.
We are going to go too, get in the car quickly.Jackie Chan said patting the steering wheel.
