Chapter 275: Beautiful girl sells

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Kang Jianfei was originally planning to hold a press conference on June 10th to announce the official name of Li's TV station and hold a TV station unveiling ceremony on the same day.

However, now we have to postpone the time. First, because the internal reform of the TV station has not been completed, second, on June 10, the premiere of "The Beautiful Girl", McDonald, as the producer, has to accompany the publicity, and third, the Miss Hong Kong event has been too popular during this period, and all news except Miss Hong Kong cannot attract citizens.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Miss Hong Kong. The judges invited not only big stars like Xu Guanwen and He Lili, but even the gambling king Stanley Ho was personally invited by Run Run Shaw to be the judges.

In addition, on the day of the finals, there was a first session of the Hong Kong Miss gathering.Those who were a little famous like Zhao Yazhi, who were invited by former Hong Kong girls, were invited by Wireless Channel to make their debut.

Just as the 10th Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was in full swing, "The Beautiful Girl" produced by Madon McDonald was officially released.

Li Maowen from Princess Jin Cinemas is not optimistic about this realistic film. She thought that it would be good if "The Beautiful Girl" could last on the screen for seven days, and she had already arranged a film to take over the screening of this film.

But when the box office statistics were counted on the first day, Li Maowen was stunned. The ultra-low-cost movie with a production cost of only 1.2 million yuan (Wen Bixia and her girls accounted for 600,000 yuan), was neither a comedy nor a horror movie. It actually sold for a super-high box office of 960,000 yuan on the first day of its release.

In another time and space, McDonald's departure from Alishi to produce "The Beautiful Girls", and there were not many people who were optimistic about it at that time. They were only released in several theaters on Jiahe Cinemas, and they did not have much promotion.

As a result, due to the extremely high attendance rate, Jiahe Cinema urgently decided to increase the number of episodes for "The Beautiful Girl".

At that time, the films of a small film company were good enough to be released in theaters for one week, and there were even only 3 days of screenings. However, with its reputation and box office, "The Beautiful Girl" was screened on Jiahe Theater for 21 days, beating all the movies released at the same time.

Now the producer of "The Beautiful Girl" has become Oriental DreamWorks, and Wen Bixia, Li Meifeng and Li Yàn Shan are idol stars. The movie has started to be promoted on a small scale before it was released, and the box office situation will only be better than in the original time and space.

Although many Hong Kong people stayed at home to watch TV during the beauty pageant broadcast due to the influence of the Miss Hong Kong Competition, the box office of "The Beautiful Girl" still reached 5.13 million in the first week, becoming the Hong Kong weekly box office champion.

The box office data rate in the second week declined, with the cumulative box office of "The Beautiful Girl" in two weeks reaching 8.97 million.

Because the realistic movie has a strong momentum, "The Beautiful Girl" was released on the Golden Princess Cinema for 25 days, and it was not finally released on July 4. The total box office of Hong Kong's local port was 13.86 million.

When the final box office of "The Beautiful Girl" was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the Hong Kong film industry, and McDonald was also known as the new generation of film genius.

As for the director of this film, Dawei Li, he did not receive much attention, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real creator of "The Beautiful Girl" is McDonald's.

It is probably because McDonald's current TV station for too long, and he still plays the same TV series when filming movies. The so-called director is just his execution tool, and the style and rhythm of the entire film are controlled by McDonald's producer.

Wen Bixia plays the second female lead in "The Beautiful Girl", and the real heroine is Li Yàn Shan.After the big sale of "The Beautiful Girl", Li Yàn's pay more than tripled, reaching HK$450,000.

In Hong Kong, a top female movie star is more than 500,000 yuan.After Brigitte Lin’s salary soared to HK$1.2 million after her big sale in "The Royal Sister", because she has a strong overseas box office appeal.

Because Zhao Yazhi has not participated in any blockbuster movies in recent years, her salary is only 400,000 yuan.Wen Bixia's pay at this time was only about 300,000 yuan, and she had already made a lot of films.

Li Yàn Shan has only starred in "Happy Ghost 2", and "The Beautiful Girl" is her second movie.

Just in terms of pay, Li Yàn Shan was originally an actress between second and third ranks, but now she has become a first-line female movie star.

This is the case in the entertainment industry. It is impossible to predict who becomes popular and who is mediocre.

When Li Saifeng debuted with Wen Bixia, it was obvious that Kang Jianfei helped Wen Bixia more, but Li Saifeng's pay at this time was almost the same as Zhao Yazhi, while Wen Bixia was still half popular.

But seriously, it is not without basis for Li Yàn Shan to become a first-line female movie star.In addition to her outstanding performance in "The Beautiful Girl", she is also because Li Yàn Shan is beautiful enough.

Among the Happy Girls Group, Li Yàn Shan is the most beautiful and beautiful one. Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen both have to stand aside.

This woman is the first Miss Asia beauty pageant champion in the parallel space, and the third place in that year was Boba Ye Yuqing.

Everyone at DreamWorks was surprised by Li Yàn's unexpected popularity, including Kang Jianfei, because she was not within the star-making plan formulated by DreamWorks this year.

Before the painting of "The Beautiful Girl" was finished, Pan Yingzi held a temporary meeting and discussed it with Ma Qiao. The Propaganda Department and the Artist Department jointly created a packaging and publicity plan for Li Yàn Shan.

Not only that, since Li Yàn Shan is also a signed singer of Fengxing Records, DreamWorks also cooperates with Fengxing Records and plans to hold its first concert for the Happy Girls next month.

It is not easy to hold a concert. The Happy Girls Group used to be the most singer-song concert, and this time it officially sang on stage at the Hong Kong Arts Center.

The hot sale of "The Beautiful Girl" also won Kang Jianfei the title of the most conscientious investor.

Because Kang Jianfei has invested in several realistic films from last year to this year, and all of them have sold very well.

Similarly, "The Beautiful Girl" also injects a touch of literary and realistic atmosphere into the Hong Kong film industry where commercial films are king.

Realistic themes and art films that were originally not in the eyes of the bosses of various film companies, now Jiahe and Shaw Brothers have plans to shoot. After all, this kind of film is low in cost and easy to win awards.

Even if you can't sell the box office in Hong Kong, if you win the trophy at the Golden Horse Awards, you can still take the opportunity to make a fortune in the Taiwanese market.

……

On June 25, the 10th Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which attracted much attention in Hong Kong, ushered in the finals.

Pan Lixian, the boss who had originally had the highest bid to win the championship, left sadly. Although she ranked fourth in the final announced score, she did not get any award.

The main reason is that judge Xu Guanwen gave Pan Lixian an ultra-low score.

Xu Guanwen's aesthetic standards have always been very special. Even the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Reis Reis can only get pass scores for Xu Guanwen, so Pan Lixian lost without any worries.

There is also a very popular beauties named Xia Shuling. Because she was exposed to breast augmentation before the finals, she was suppressed by the judges and only won the "Miss Photographer Award".

As for Weng Meiling, who Kang Jianfei values, she was indeed missing even the top five and only won the eighth place.

After the award ceremony, the collective appearance of all the Hong Kong celebrities made the atmosphere at the climax.

Some are happy and some are sad, and the lights on the stage are destined not to be losers.The Hong Kong ladies who failed to be elected left the scene in disgrace, changed their clothes in the locker room, and left the TV station with a low expression.

Weng Meiling followed several other unsuccessful beauties downstairs with her bag on her back. When she walked to the door, she saw a luxury car coming.

The window in the back seat of the car was slowly lowered, and a man in the middle smiled and waved at the beauties.

One of the beauties who failed to be elected as Hong Kong Miss was dejected, but when they saw the man, they immediately got into the car with a smile, kissed and kissed the middle-aged man on the face.

Shameless slut!A Hong Kong sister who lost the election next to Weng Meiling cursed disdainfully.

The entertainment industry has never been pure, and its glamorousness on the surface cannot conceal the corruption in the darkness.

Like when Weng Meiling was running for Miss Hong Kong, she received invitations to dinner and heard all kinds of gossip rumors.

But this does not mean that stars are all bitches, and the so-called transactions between wealthy businessmen and actresses are divided into several types.

Take the early 1980s as an example:

The first type of transaction is a dinner party. When rich bosses are having a meal and talking about business, they can help them get a better face.

The status of actresses in it is equivalent to a drink-mate girl. This kind of dinner usually does not involve sexual transactions. A third-rate actress can get one or two thousand yuan at a time, and a first-line actress can get three or five thousand yuan.

For actresses who have no connections or backers, this kind of drinking is the most cost-effective. They don’t have to sell their bodies, and they can also make some money. If you are lucky enough to meet an investor who is willing to spend money, you can also get advertising or even movies.

The second type of transaction is long-term maintenance.The rich guys pay some money and explain in advance how many times you are a friend for a year or several years, and how many times you are absent every month, etc.

The third type of transaction is a one-time physical transaction, which can be regarded as a high-level prostitute.Top actresses will never do such things unless they are forced.

Relatively speaking, second- and third-rate small stars are the main body of various transactions. Apart from some money-seeking first-line actresses, they are too scared of such things, for fear that they will ruin their reputation.

Weng Meiling stood at the entrance of the TV station, and the familiar beauties asked: Ah Weng, aren't you leaving?

I agreed to Shuling to go together and wait for her for a while.Weng Meiling smiled.The Shuling she mentioned was Xia Shuling who was exposed to breast augmentation, and the two of them were the best friends they could talk to.

A few years later, Xia Shuling failed to commit suicide after a heartbreak. Weng Meiling said in an interview: If I were to fall in love, I wouldn’t be so stupid, because I committed suicide because of a man who no longer loved me.

A year after Weng Meiling finished saying this, she turned on the gas and committed suicide...

That's not to mention it later, and Weng Meiling is waiting for her friend to come down.Not long after, Zhao Yazhi, wearing an evening dress, walked behind her and said: Hello Miss Weng.

Miss Zhao!Are you talking to me?Weng Meiling was both surprised and happy. Although she had been staying in the UK, she had already known Zhao Yazhi's fame and status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the past few months after returning to Hong Kong.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and smiled: My home is in the apartment next door. Is Miss Weng interested in going up and taking a seat?

If a strange man said this at night, Weng Meiling's reaction was to call the police directly, but Zhao Yazhi's invitation would not make people wary at all.

There is no warning, but Weng Meiling's curiosity is great. She doesn't understand why Zhao Yazhi invited her to visit her home if she lost her little Hong Kong Miss.

Weng Meiling hesitated for a few seconds and agreed to Zhao Yazhi's invitation. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime newcomer in the entertainment industry.

The two of them walked less than ten minutes before they arrived at Zhao Yazhi's home. Zhao Yazhi hung up her handbag and said: Just sit there.What to drink?

Weng Meiling looked at the room and said politely: Let’s have a glass of boiling water.

Zhao Yazhi poured a glass of water over and looked at Weng Meiling with a suspicious look on her face and asked: Miss Weng is very surprised why I am looking for you, right?

Weng Meiling nodded and said: It's Ah, it seems that this is the first time we have met tonight.

Zhao Yazhi explained: Actually, it’s not that I’m looking for you, but that there is someone else who values ​​you very much.That person knew I was going to compete in the Miss Hong Kong final tonight, so let me contact you.

Weng Meiling felt more and more strange and asked: Who is the person Miss Zhao talking about?

Zhao Yazhi did not answer, but asked: Did TVB say that she wanted to sign a contract with you?

not yet?Weng Meiling shook her head. She got the eighth place in Miss Hong Kong and had no obligation to Miss Hong Kong. TVB could sign her or not.

Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile: Are you interested in signing in Lishi to be an actor?

Weng Meiling's brain felt a little insufficient. Zhao Yazhi was obviously the leading actress of Wireless TV, but she actually asked her if she would sign a contract to go to Lishi.

Weng Meiling was still stunned. The door outside had been opened. She turned around and said in surprise: Are you... the one Mr. Kang who bought Lishi in the newspaper?

Kang Jianfei was also very surprised when he saw Weng Meiling and asked Zhao Yazhi: Why did you bring her back?

Zhao Yazhi gave him a blank look and said: It's so late, if you don't take it home to talk about things, do you have to go to the cafe in the middle of the night?

Okay, I said the wrong thing. Kang Jianfei came over and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi, and asked Weng Meiling, Miss Weng, are you interested in joining Lishi?

Kang...Mr. Kang, why do you want to sign me?

Weng Meiling felt like she was dreaming.

Among the competing beauties of this year's Miss Hong Kong competition, there are several more beautiful than her, and she is the shortest of all the contestants. She is not even sure whether she can sign a contract with TVB. I really can't figure out Kang Jianfei, but she chose her.

Although Weng Meiling has only been back to Hong Kong for a few months, she has already known Kang Jianfei as she wants to participate in the entertainment industry.

Because I have achieved nothing in a few months, I am full of admiration for Kang Jianfei, who has created countless miracles.

Simply put, Weng Meiling was one of Kang Jianfei's fans at this time.

Kang Jianfei smiled: I have always seen people very accurately. Among the Hong Kong Miss this year, you are the most star potential.If you are willing to sign in to Lishi, you will report to the TV station tomorrow.However, the contract cannot be signed for the time being, because Lishi is about to change its name and has to change all the old contracts of the past.

Weng Meiling nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, for fear that Kang Jianfei would change his mind if he was slow.

After Zhao Yazhi finished speaking, she asked Kang Jianfei: A Fei, the post-Feng Huáng TV station unveiled the ribbon and cut it. Do I want to participate in Ah?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Forget it, so that Boss Shao and Manager Fang won’t be angry and say you’re tramping inside and out.

What's the sucking inside and out? It's so ugly.Zhao Yazhi gave Kang Jianfei two pink fists in a funny way.

When Weng Meiling saw the two flirting in front of her, she realized it and thought: It turns out that Miss Zhao is Mr. Kang’s girlfriend. No wonder she came forward to invite me upstairs.
