After visiting the mainland last time, Zhong Jinghui went to the mainland for another month and only came back after seeing the Spring Festival.
"The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" bought by CCTV from Feng Huáng TV has been approved to delete a few shots after layers of approval, and then in excellent Mandarin dubbing, it has been decided to broadcast after the Lunar New Year.
Zhong Jinghui's two trips to the mainland were not in vain. In addition to contacting many mainland TV stations, he even had contact with some officials from the Ministry of Culture, which was naturally a match made by the Hong Kong and Macao Office.
As soon as Zhong Jinghui came back, he saw the TV program production staff changing contracts. He immediately ran to find Huang Xizhao and asked: Lao Huang, what's going on in the station now?If there is no production department, what else is it called a TV station!
Huang Xizhao said calmly: At least the news production department is still there.
It's just nonsense!
Zhong Jinghui said angrily, Kang Jianfei was fine at the beginning, but he started to mess around when the TV station improved a little.No, I have to go find him. At worst, I can have a fight with him like I did when I first got an Australian shareholder.Although my TV station belongs to him, it is also made big in your hands and I. I can't watch it be ruined by him.
Ah Hui, I can’t make a fuss. Huang Xizhao said meaningfully, it would be fine if we follow him and don’t make a fuss. Once we make a fuss, I guess with Kang Jianfei’s temper, he would risk quitting most of the employees and let us get out.
Zhong Jinghui was stunned, quickly figured out the reason, and said with a wry smile: He is too suspicious, right?
Huang Xizhao shook her head: We had a too much trouble with Australian shareholders in the past. If anyone was the boss, they would not be assured of us.I should have thought of it long ago, but I still have luck.The tough attitude Kang Jianfei showed when he had a falling out, so he knew that he was a person with a strong desire to control himself. He could not let me form a small group on the TV station. As long as the TV station stabilized, he would definitely take action.
Zhong Jinghui was not a fool. Huang Xizhao said casually, and he understood everything and could only sit there and sigh.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the wasteland that Kang Jianfei bought in Tseung Kwan O has also stopped working. Some of the dug earth is placed there like trenches, and the construction can only be continued after the Spring Festival.
Although Feng Huáng TV's TV series and variety show production department is about to be split into DreamWorks, it has not really moved it.
First, there is not enough office space in DreamWorks, and second, the TV station has many studios and studios, which is more convenient for shooting programs.
Of course, although the office location was not moved, all the contracts of these people were transferred to DreamWorks, who were considered employees of the TV production department of DreamWorks Production Department.
These are temporary. After Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is completed, Feng Huáng TV Station and Oriental Dream Factory will be moved there, and even Fengxing Records Company plans to move there.
Kang Jianfei decided to split the TV production department. In addition to separating production and broadcasting, reducing Feng Huáng TV's expenses and enhancing the competitiveness of TV programs, another purpose is to weaken Huang Xizhao's influence on Feng Huáng TV.
Australian shareholders suffered collective resistance from Huang Xizhao and his team on the TV station, but it sounded a wake-up call for Kang Jianfei. He didn't want to be collectively resisted by the employees in the station one day, or a large number of people were poached with Huang Xizhao.
Huang Xizhao's influence on Feng Huáng Station was so great that Kang Jianfei had to be afraid.
Even if Huang Xizhao is not rebellious, Kang Jianfei, as the boss, cannot give Huang Xizhao the qualification and strength to rebelliously.
So after buying the TV station, the first thing Kang Jianfei did was to invite Zhong Jinghui back and use Zhong Jinghui to check and balance Huang Xizhao.
Now Feng Huáng Station has recovered its vitality, and the time to attack Huang Xizhao is ripe. Kang Jianfei immediately split the TV production department.
Most of the employees in these departments were promoted by Huang Xizhao. Now that the contract is transferred to DreamWorks, it will take less than a year or two to minimize Huang Xizhao's influence on them.
How could Huang Xizhao not know Kang Jianfei’s approach?
However, Kang Jianfei is the boss after all, and he is the boss who makes the TV station good. In addition, the reform of the TV station's production and broadcasting separation has a large number of successful cases in Europe, the United States and Taiwan, so Huang Xizhao really has no reason to object.
After Kang Jianfei clearly stated his attitude, Huang Xizhao could only sigh and agree.
When Kang Jianfei just bought the TV station, Huang Xizhao spared no effort to help recall the backbone employees.
Now that the TV station is on the right track, Kang Jianfei is going to take action against Huang Xizhao's men, which is somewhat like destroying bridges across the river.
But Kang Jianfei had to do this, otherwise he would not be a competent boss. Huang Xizhao is a typical example of a boss who is more powerful. If he is a slightly tough boss, he would not allow his subordinates to have such a situation.
Therefore, there are so many emperors in history who killed founding heroes. Although Kang Jianfei did not directly attack Huang Xizhao, he split his direct troops and systematically weakened Huang Xizhao's power through production and broadcasting. This can be regarded as learning from Song Taizu to release military power with a cup of wine.
Huang Xizhao is a smart man. Perhaps he wanted to eliminate the distrust between him and Kang Jianfei. Not only did he agree to the reform of separation of production and broadcasting, he also personally took the initiative to call back Xu Xiaoming, who was director at Shaw Brothers.
Xu Xiaoming's ability is no less than that of McDonald's. In the parallel space, ATV in the Qiu Degen era was Xu Xiaoming as the director of program production and has always achieved ATV's profit.
After Xu Xiaoming ran to Shaw Brothers last year, he was idle after filming only two movies and could only help other directors. He felt regretful and depressed.
Now the mentor came to recruit him without grudges, and immediately ran back happily, pretending that nothing had happened and joined the TV production department of DreamWorks.
In North America, "Home Imperial" has officially been released, with a cumulative box office of US$18.2 billion, ranking second in the U.S. box office rankings last year.
(The first place is "ET", with a box office of 35.9 billion; the second place is "Mr. Duss", with a box office of 17.7 billion)
The news soon came back to Hong Kong, especially after confirming that "Home Imperial" was produced by Kang Jianfei, Hong Kong newspapers collectively climaxed.
Not only Hong Kong newspapers, but also Nanyang and Japanese and Korean media exclaimed incredible.
However, there were not too many reports from Taiwanese newspapers, as if they thought the name Kang Jianfei was too dirty, and it would cause their ears to be dirty when they said it.
As for the reason, it is naturally that Kang Jianfei's Feng Huángtai helped the Communist Party speak, and there is a serious suspicion of bandits and spies.
Kang Jianfei was not angry either. As long as Taiwan couldn't help but have his movies, he would be thankful.
Not only that, he also made Taiwan’s employees restrain themselves, tried to do the show from a neutral standpoint, and occasionally praised Taiwan’s economy and people’s livelihood, which was a disguised flattery by the Taiwan authorities.
As time goes by, the details about "Home Imperial" have also been dug out by Asian media, especially Kang Jianfei's 11-day production of "Home Imperial", which is like telling a legendary story.
The South China Morning Post, the largest English newspaper in Hong Kong, analyzed: ...The comedy film produced in 11 days defeated many Hollywood blockbusters and won a super high box office of US$18.2 billion in North America.According to the genre and past practices of "Home Imperial", the subsequent global box office of this movie can be sold at least $80 million.Just talking about box office revenue, director Kang Jianfei can get at least $90 million.20th Century Fox has also recently announced that it will buy the copyright of "Home Imperial" and the sequel for $45 million.In other words, the movie "Home Imperial" directed by Kang Jianfei can bring him at least US$1.3 billion in net income, and its overseas box office is conservatively estimated.
The English report of the South China Morning Post was quickly translated and reprinted, and when it comes to Chinese newspapers such as Oriental Daily and Business Daily, it became directly a net profit of $1.3 billion in the United States in 11 days.
The news of these big newspapers is misinterpreted by the tabloids, and it becomes that Kang Jianfei earns tens of millions of dollars a day in the United States, which is simply a superman who makes money.
Now Kang Jianfei is even careful when going out, otherwise God will know where a reporter will pop up.
As the end of the year approaches, all work has been arranged, and Kang Jianfei is also happy to be idle. He basically takes turns to compensate Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Chung Chuhong and Pan Yingzi to have fun and relax. Occasionally, he also goes to Wen Bixia and calls the four beautiful girls, Wen Bixia, Li Meifeng, Li Yànshan and Xie Ning, and change his ways to have a heart full of love.
Wen Bixia's fourth female elder brother's elder brother's carefree service made Kang Jianfei feel a little overjoyed.He originally only regarded a few girls as playthings, but now he has developed some feelings over time.
Finally, it was the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, and major theaters in Hong Kong launched their own New Year's blockbusters.
Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt", which was roaring half a year ago, was finally released. This science fiction film, which is known as the Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", quickly caused a sensation after its release.
Why is it a sensation?
Because "Interstellar Blunt" was only screened for two days, it had to lose the painting because of its low attendance rate, breaking the shortest record of the release time of the Spring Festival movie.
The so-called Hong Kong version of "Star Wars" promoted by Shaw Brothers has become a laughing stock in the industry. Those viewers who are excited to buy tickets to watch science fiction blockbusters were so angry that they cursed, and even some theaters even had a ticket refund storm.
The version of "Interstellar Blunt" in the original time and space, the screenwriter (Wen Jun) and the heroine (Chris Chung) are now in DreamWorks, but director Zhang Guoming has not changed.
After Shaw decided to make a science fiction film, Zhang Guoming took the money to invite the screenwriter to write the script.
Because the elements and selling points of the movie were proposed by Shaw Brothers and the director, the scripts written were not much different, and it was still a noisy urban comedy with science fiction.
Those viewers who bought tickets to watch "Interstellar Blunt" were like gay friends who went to a duck shop for fun. When the door was pushed open, they saw an aunt in her forties and fifties lying on the bed, and their hearts were hurt.
Although Jin Yong has a good relationship with Run Run Shaw, this issue of Ming Pao commented very ruthlessly: "Interstellar Blunt" is the worst "bumpy" in Hong Kong's film history, no doubt about it.
According to Shaw Brothers, the production fee for "Interstellar Blunt" is HK$8 million, but the audience after watching the movie doubts whether the cost of this film is 800,000.
Due to the full release of Shaw Brothers theaters and the overwhelming publicity, "Interstellar Blunt" won a box office of 520,000 on the first day, which was a good start.
But on the second day, because the reputation was so bad, it only sold for 80,000 yuan, with an average attendance rate of less than 20%.
(The box office of "Interstellar Blunt" in all information is 6 million, but it only lasted for 2 days, which is not a fool. If it can sell 6 million in two days, it will definitely be the box office champion of that year if it continues to be released)
After "Interstellar Blunt" fell into outer space, Shaw Brothers Theater urgently released "Shaolin Successor" starring Dillon and Er Dongsheng.
"The Successor of Shaolin" is not very powerful, and it can't hold on to the fallen paintings after only 5 days of release.
Shaw Tycoon hopes that "Interstellar Blunt" can turn the world, but this science fiction blockbuster highlights Shaw's declining weather.
But his subsequent efforts boosted the Hong Kong film industry. Shaw Brothers Theater, which had no good films, actually started to screen Hollywood movies, and was the box office champion of North America last year "ET".
In the past, the Anle Cinema, the Jiang family, has always screened western films. Anle Cinema has only four theaters under its stake. This time, it was impossible to win the Shaw Brothers Cinema, which has more than ten theaters, and lost the money-making movie "ET".
However, industry insiders with discerning eyes have already seen the idea of Shaw Tycoon. In the past, Shaw Tsai Theater Company and Shaw Tsai Film Company dragged each other down, and Run Run Shaw couldn't do anything.
This time, I have to borrow Hollywood films to make up for the shortcomings of Shaw Brothers' high-quality film sources. Maybe I will reform Shaw Brothers' Film Company in the future.
If Shaw Tycoon's plan is successful, Shaw Pictures and Shaw Theater may both be able to come back to life.
The New Art City comedy film released by Princess Jin didn't last long. It only took one week to screen and then fell into a hurry, with a box office of only more than 3 million.
However, the next release of "The Beauty Has a Residence" made Kang Jianfei shook his head and sigh, because the producer of this movie was Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Company.
After the release of "The Beauty of Love" received rave reviews, withstood the competition between "ET" and Tsui Hark's "The City of Dead" and won more than 9 million yuan in one fell swoop.
As for Tsui Hark's "The City of Dead", the audience's evaluation of this film went to two extremes. Those who liked it thought it was a classic, but those who didn't like it were criticized as a bad movie because they could not get used to Tsui Hark's fast pace.
"The City of Fighting" was only released in the New Era theaters for 10 days, with a cumulative box office of 7.83 million in Hong Kong, which is much less than Chen Xunqi's "The Beauty of a Departure".
After the film was finished, Tsui Hark felt that he was shameless to see others, so he voluntarily gave up the remuneration of directors and screenwriters, and only 10% of the producers were divided into to maintain the film studio.
"The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" bought by CCTV from Feng Huáng TV has been approved to delete a few shots after layers of approval, and then in excellent Mandarin dubbing, it has been decided to broadcast after the Lunar New Year.
Zhong Jinghui's two trips to the mainland were not in vain. In addition to contacting many mainland TV stations, he even had contact with some officials from the Ministry of Culture, which was naturally a match made by the Hong Kong and Macao Office.
