Taiping Theater, premiere of "Huang Feihong".

After the interaction session, Kang Jianfei leaned in his seat and said nothing.The lights in the theater dimmed, and Lin Guan quietly held his hand and asked: Brother Fei, are you unhappy today?

Things at work.Kang Jianfei said casually.

Because He Chaoqiong revealed that he wanted to abort the child, he has been under house arrest by the Ho family. It has to be said that Stanley Ho is an old feudal and devout Catholic, who believes that abortion is a rebellious act.

Kang Jianfei only returned from Macau this morning and bought 21% of the shares of Macau TV for HK$18 million, and the TV station is already planning to go to the stars.

In addition to talking about the main business, Kang Jianfei was also invited by Stanley Ho to have a meal, and the conversation was about the matter between him and Chaoqiong Ho.

The He family meant that they hoped they would get married with their children. Kang Jianfei talked about his perfunctory behavior for a long time, explaining that he and He Chaoqiong just lost their virginity after drinking and had little feelings for each other.

After Stanley Ho's proposal was politely rejected by Kang Jianfei, his face was so dark that he could lower his ink. Fortunately, at this time, He Chaoqiong ran down from the upper floor and firmly disagreed with marrying Kang Jianfei, which attracted most of the firepower.

But it is not a solution to keep dragging on. Kang Jianfei is now very upset about this and has no intention of attending the premiere of the movie.

Facing the waves with pride

Hot blood is like the red sunlight

Brain is like iron and bones are like fine steel

A thousand-foot-headed vision

I work hard and be a good man

Be a good man and be self-reliant every day

Hot-blooded man, brighter than the sun

……

The passionate theme song sounded, and the audience in the theater sat upright unconsciously.

Liu Zhenwei sat with Chen Xunqi and Wong Kar-wai at this time. After the bankruptcy of Wuzhou Century Pictures, this guy went to the Philippines to do business, and ended up losing all his savings from filming for many years. He has now joined Chen Xunqi's film studio and serves as the deputy director of "The City of Wound".

The title of the film is "Huang Feihong: Ambitions", is it possible that Kang Jianfei wants to film a series of "Huang Feihong"?Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but have this idea after reading the title of the movie.

Among Hong Kong films in recent years, the "Best Partner" series of New Art City is very popular.

DreamWorks is filming series of movies constantly. The "Happy Ghost" series was filmed until the fifth one, and the "Senior Sister Royal" series also filmed three films, two films in the "Heroics" series, and two films in the "Mr. Zombie" series, which is definitely a sluggish thing to make money.

When it comes to the commercial operation of movies, no one dares to say that DreamWorks ranks second, and Liu Zhenwei has been the general manager of Century Pictures for several years, and he is quite impressed by this.

The beginning of the film "Huang Feihong" is a traditional lion dance scene, but the props and costumes are refreshing. The film's artist is more than one level better than traditional kung fu films such as "Drunk Fist".

Later, the long shots like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the teahouse made Liu Zhenwei unable to help but applaud. That realistic shot seemed to have brought time back more than a hundred years.

Hahaha……

There was a burst of laughter in the audience. The ordinary audience behind them did not consider that Liu Zhenwei was as much as they could watch it. They would laugh loudly when they encountered funny plots.

Guan Zhilin's appearance in the dress is also quite stunning. The beauty of combining Chinese and Western has captured the hearts of countless male audiences.

Fight well, kill these foreigners!

Listening to the shouts in the theater, Shu Qi sighed: Who said that the kung fu film has declined? This movie "Huang Feihong" may not have a low box office.

no the same.Chen Bosen shook his head and said.

Shu Qi said: It's Ah, the lens, soundtrack and artwork have all been upgraded to a higher level.

Chen Bosen said: It's not just that.Jackie Chan's "Drunk Fist" and "Laughing Fist Strategy" are just the same routine. The protagonist bears hatred and meets a wise master, and finally defeats the villain and punishes evil.However, this "Huang Feihong" elevates the grievances in the world to the level of national rise and fall, and the style of the film is completely different.

Shu Qi thought for a while and said with a smile: Not bad.

Compared with ordinary kung fu films, "Huang Feihong" has a different style. It is no longer just a grudge in the world, but also a kind of family, country and hatred.

Moreover, the characters in it are also very rich. Foreigners may not be bad. There are also good priests who help Huang Feihong block the gun. The Chinese are also full of internal fighting and numbness. All kinds of characters are portrayed very vividly on the screen.

Of course, ordinary audiences will not analyze this way. They only think it is good-looking, better than traditional monotonous kung fu movies.

Especially the game between Huang Feihong and Yan Zhendong in the warehouse, the martial arts movements were so elegant that they showed Jet Li's national martial arts champion to the fullest.

With the release of "Wang Feihong: The Great Ambition", this issue of "Movie Biweekly" also released a review of this film: This film centers on Wong Feihong, and is confused, struggled, persisted and innovated in the troubled times of internal and external troubles.From point to surface, from Baozhilin to Foshan and even the entire China, it brought out the various social patterns at that time, forming a social cross-section, including the Yamen, Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army, the British, Americans, Shahe Gang, militia, missionaries, compradors, local and foreign provinces, etc., and many forces intertwined, depicting the modern Chinese history picture in Kang Jianfei's heart... Unlike the grudges of traditional kung fu films, "Huang Feihong's Ambition" has a lot of meaning of being a hero, serving the country and the people.

The fighting scenes in the film are all under the responsibility of Kang’s family. It is worth mentioning that Ren Shiguan, the actor who plays Yan Zhendong in the film, was originally a veteran martial artist of the Yuan’s family.Just to make the film "Huang Feihong", Kang Jianfei visited him in person and invited Ren Shiguan to join the Kang family class.The bamboo ladder battle between Ren Shiguan and Jet Li in the warehouse is a classic in the Kung Fu action scenes...

The best evidence is that the magazine can’t say it or not, box office is the best evidence.

"Huang Feihong: The Great Ambition" was released on Oriental Cinema, and several theaters from Yindu Cinema were also rented. As soon as it was released, the box office of 27 theaters was close to 3 million on the first day of the painting, and the box office was as high as 13.58 million in the first week.

Jackie Chan's Quanwei Film Company was also changed to Weihe Film Company this year. "Police Story" is its entrepreneurial work, but the heroine changed from Brigitte Lin to Hu Huizhong to invite Hu Huizhong to star in order to make box office in Taiwan.

In order to avoid Kang Jianfei's movie, Zou Wenhuai and Jackie Chan discussed and decided to stagger the release time of "Police Story" and "Huang Feihong" for more than half a month.

The one that confronts "Huang Feihong" is "Summer Lucky Star", which stars Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Wun Biao and Cen Jianxun. He wants to continue the high box office of "The Strategy of the Five Lucky Stars".

"Summer Lucky Star" was released a week earlier than "Huang Feihong", with a box office of 12.52 million in the first week. In the second week, the box office of "Huang Feihong" hit the audience, and the box office of a single week dropped to 7.45 million. The situation is terrible.

The New Art City is even more funny. The one who took the lead in this summer schedule was Yu Yunhang's "Flying Tigers and Ark". Under the attack of "Summer Lucky Star" and "Huang Feihong", the box office in the first week was only 2.18 million, which was a big hit.

The Hollywood film "The First Blood 2" emerged as a sudden appearance, led by Anle Theater and screened in more than ten theaters, and won a high box office of 8.43 million in the first week.

The investment in "Flying Tigers" in Xinyi City this time is not big, so it doesn't lose much, but Princess Jin, which screened "Flying Tigers", has suffered a huge loss, with an average attendance rate of less than 30%, which makes Lei Juekun almost vomiting blood.

Only one week after it was released, "Flying Tigers" was urgently removed from the film, and replaced with Wen Jun's directorial debut "The Rebel".

The reputation of this drama is pretty good, but unfortunately, under the attack of "Summer Lucky Star", "Huang Feihong" and "The First Blood 2", the box office is not much better than "Flying Tigers". After 9 days of screening, it had to be released because of its low attendance rate.

New Art City suffered a Waterloo, and summer films suffered consecutive setbacks."Daily Express".

Xinyi City suffered serious losses in the first half of the year, and the company is making plans for layoffs.Hong Kong Economic Weekly

The Golden Princess Cinema is difficult to maintain, and Lei Juekun plans to sell some theaters."Sing Tao Daily".

The summer vacation has just begun, and major newspapers have begun to report on negative news about Princess Jin and the New Art City.

The main reason is Kang Jianfei. Although the New Art City this year's performance in the original time and space was poor, at least Tsui Hark Studio and Gao Zhisen's "Happy Ghost 2" supported it.

But now Tsui Hark Studio is affiliated with DreamWorks, "Happy Ghost" has been filmed by Kang Jianfei long ago, and Gao Zhisen was poached by Pan Disheng. New Art City can only compete in the summer season with a few bad movies.

"Summer Blessing Star" fell into the picture three weeks after its release. This movie, which should have had a box office of more than 28 million yuan, was run by "Huang Feihong" to only get more than 23 million yuan.

In fact, "Summer Blessing Star" still has box office potential, but in order to free up the theater for Jackie Chan's "Police Story", he could only lose his paintings a few days earlier.

Unfortunately, the box office performance of "Police Story" is not as good as "Summer Lucky Star". At this time, "Wang Feihong" and "The First Blood 2" have been released for half a month, and the box office of the two fierce films has begun to show signs of weakness, but the box office of "Police Story" was only 9.18 million in the first week.

However, the reputation of "Police Story" is much better than that of "Summer Lucky Star". Almost everyone praised this movie. Jackie Chan's transformation from a kung fu film to a modern action film was also declared a complete success because of this movie.

"Huang Feihong: The Great Ambition" won the weekly box office championship for two consecutive weeks. The several fights in the film are classic. Some people say that Kang Jianfei's early "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was just an experiment, and this "Huang Feihong" is a mature work of the new kung fu film.

Several head teachers of the Yuan family class praised the action design of this film. Liu Jialiang criticized it as useless in an interview with reporters: Huang Feihong is the master of Southern Quan, so how could he fly around like in the film?I don’t know Kung Fu at all when I shoot kung fu movies, Kang Jianfei is simply an amateur...
