It’s not that Kang Jianfei and "Tang Bohu's Love" are too powerful, but that other movies released during the Spring Festival are too poor in the quality.
Sammo Hung's "Dragons and Phoenix" may have achieved a good box office ten years ago, but it is too outdated now and can only attract some loyal kung fu fans. Few young people like to watch it.
The only competitive one is Xu's Film "Family Love", directed by Gao Zhisen and starring the Xu brothers. However, this film was released in the New Year's Eve, with a box office of more than 30 million, perfectly avoiding the schedule of "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance".
So, this is a situation this year. In the first few days of the movie being released, "The Lost Fragrance of Tang Bohu" was hard to come by, but the attendance rate of movies from other companies was extremely low.
After two weeks of screening, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has already been so popular that it has been more than 20 million yuan in box office, and the box office has only begun to show a significant decline in the week. "The Legend of Wealth and the Wind", which ranked second in the Spring Festival, has just exceeded 10 million yuan.
After the third week of the Spring Festival, the box office momentum of "Tang Bohu's Tiger" has finally slowed down a lot, but the cumulative box office has sold more than 34 million.
At this time, the second-ranked "The Rich and the Relatives" had a box office of 14.18 million, the third-ranked "The Dragons and the Phoenix" had a box office of 12.69 million, the fourth-ranked "The Star of Fortune" had a box office of 9.6 million, and the fifth-ranked "The Prince of Peacock" had a box office of 9.05 million.
By comparing the box office of all the films released during the Spring Festival, you can see how awesome Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu's Dots of Autumn Fragrance" is, which is equivalent to the total box office of the second, third and fourth movies.
If the changes in ticket prices and exchange rates are included, Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Points of Autumn Fragrance" is much higher than the original version.
In addition to director Kang Jianfei's ability to attract money, another important reason is that the schedule is really well-arranged, and there were no good movies to compete with him for box office at the same time.
Before the Lantern Festival came, Jiahe's "People" was released in advance. The box office was just over 10 million yuan, and he barely held a little bit of face from Jiahe.
It is good to have a box office of more than 5 million movies released on weekdays, but if Jiahe's Spring Festival movies don't exceed 10 million, it's just a big laugh.
Next is Yindu Institution's "Fu Xing" with a box office of more than 11 million yuan, followed by "Dragons and Phoenixes" and "Fugui Again and Again".
Among them, "The Rich and the Rich" has a box office of 16.5 million, which has passed the box office as a sequel movie.
Only Sammo Hung was very depressed. His box office was getting worse when he filmed for Jiahe. Now, the box office for Baohe hit a new low, and he seemed to have reached the lowest point in his life.
After the Spring Festival movie was released, major theaters began to release new films, and only Oriental theaters continued to screen "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released for 35 days, and the number of scenes was reduced in the last two weeks, and the box office of Hong Kong's local port finally won 41.55 million.
Another movie that exceeded 40 million box office has left major film companies and directors speechless.
As the movie Biweekly commented: Kang Jianfei's box office record set may only be broken by himself.
Last year, Yi Shu openly wrote an article to allude to Li Jiaxin because of his nephew Ni Zhen.
However, this talented woman has a very straightforward temper, and she has a bad relationship with her nephew Ni Zhen. The film reviews published in Ming Pao Weekly this time were quite pertinent and did not continue to blacken Kang Jianfei:
I have watched every movie of Mr. Kang. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Fangfang", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "My Savage Girlfriend" are my favorites. The literary and romantic temperament revealed in the film can intoxicate any woman. Sometimes I even wonder if this director suffers from schizophrenia, because his movies are sometimes extremely vulgar, and they are full of shit, peeing and farts that are unbearable.
This is exactly what "Tang Bohu's Tiger's Flavor" is. When I heard the title of this film, I was full of expectations and thought that director Kangda would make another love classic.
But when I saw that the protagonist was Stephen Chow, I didn't expect it. It could only be a comedy that made a big box office.
As a commercial comedy, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is quite successful, which can be proved by its horrible box office.What is surprising is Kang Jianfei's ability to subvert classic stories. It can be said that this movie completely refreshes the audience's perception of Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang...
In addition to Kang Jianfei's name as the director again, the male lead Stephen Chow is so popular that he is even more popular than Chow Yun-fat, and he has a faint momentum of being the leader of the four kings of Oriental Entertainment.
Even Gong Li, who is far away in the mainland, has many companies sent film appointments to invite her to play the heroine of the movie.
The first male supporting role in it, Chen Baixiang, became popular, and Zheng Peipei and Yuan Danqiong also made constant film appointments, although they were invited to play supporting roles.
Brother Xing, can you reveal your new film plan?
Brother Xing, I heard that when you were filming "Tang Bohu", you were having a real fake scene with Miss Gong Li. Is it true?
Brother Xing…
Outside Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Stephen Chow drove his newly bought sports car and was blocked by reporters outside before he could enter the underground parking lot.
There are stars gathering in the film and television city every day, which naturally has become the focus of Hong Kong's gossip paparazzi. Maybe they can get exclusive or discover private scandals of a certain star.
Now the film and television city no longer allows reporters to enter, and the paparazzi can only squat hard outside the gate and the entrance to the underground parking lot.
Sorry, let me know, I'm in a hurry!Stephen Chow shouted and drove the car forward. Although these reporters were annoyed, the attention still made Stephen Chow very proud.
Not to mention anything else, after the movie "Tang Bohu's Delicacy", Xingzai finally evolved perfectly into Brother Xing.
In the past, only a few people called him Brother Xing, but now all reporters call him that. Stephen Chow became a little fluttering when he heard this title.
Just like Chow Yun-fat changed from Fazi to Fa Ge, what changed was not only his title, but also his status in the film industry. Stephen Chow's Star Brother is the same.
After entering the administrative building, Stephen Chow met Wang Jing in the first floor lobby. The two have a very good relationship now, and after meeting each other, they started chatting with a smile.
Brother Xing, I'm doing well and even changed my hairstyle.Wang Jing patted Stephen Chow on the shoulder and jokingly said.
Stephen Chow laughed: Don’t tease me, you should call me Xingzai.
Wang Jing came over and laughed in a low voice: Why don’t you go to celebrate together tonight?
Stephen Chow coughed, looked at the person who was no one around him and said: If he was photographed by a reporter, it would be miserable.
Don't worry, there is no reporter in the place I'm looking for.Wang Jing said confidently.
Let's talk about it.Stephen Chow said perfunctorily.
The elevator door finally opened, and the two stepped in together. A few minutes later, they arrived at Kang Jianfei's office, but Li Meifeng told Kang Jianfei that he was in the warehouse of the special effects company.
Stephen Chow and Wang Jing could only go there again. When they arrived at the warehouse, they found that there were models, diagrams and renderings everywhere.
Stephen Chow said in a low voice: It seems that Mr. Kang is going to play big again, I don’t know who is the protagonist this time.
Wang Jing looked at the huge corpse turtle model and muttered: He won’t be shooting a horror movie this time, this monster looks so creepy.
Stephen Chow said: It may be a science fiction film like "Alien".
Kang Jianfei was discussing something with Stan Winston. The two of them were chewing at the drawings. Stephen Chow and Wang Jing walked over after they finished talking.
What's wrong?Kang Jianfei asked.
Stephen Chow glanced at Wang Jing, and Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said: Jiahe asked us to make a movie, and he ordered me to cooperate with Xingzai.
He asked you to take pictures, and Oriental Entertainment did not prohibit its artists from cooperating with any company.Kang Jianfei squatted down to check the materials for making Hydra Cypress.
Stephen Chow said: Mr. Kang, that's it.Jiahe not only asked us to make movies, but also revealed that she wanted to attract us.
Kang Jianfei understood it. Wang Jing and Stephen Chow were afraid that Kang Jianfei would misunderstand, and when Jiahe's people came into contact with them, they were mostly seen by others, so they came to express their innocence.
In fact, with Wang Jing and Stephen Chow's current fame and talent, they can enjoy any company.
The most important reason why they stayed at Oriental Entertainment was that they were not afraid of harassment from gangs, and the second was the platform and resources provided by Oriental Entertainment and DreamWorks.
It's okay, as long as the shooting schedule does not conflict with the company's shooting schedule, it's okay for you to shoot for anyone, DreamWorks is not afraid of competition.Kang Jianfei said in a very casual tone.
In other film companies, no matter whether they are directors or actors, when they reach the level of Wang Jing or Stephen Chow, the boss will not let others go easily.
It’s not that they are afraid of people changing jobs, but that their competitors ask them to make a good movie and then kill their own company’s movies in the prime time.
Kang Jianfei said that DreamWorks is not afraid of competition. This sentence is easy to say, but it is confident and domineering enough.
Stephen Chow was praised by Kang Jianfei, and he became Star Brother because of his appearance in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Naturally, he was convinced by Kang Jianfei.
After Kang Jianfei made his statement, Wang Jing and Stephen Chow finally felt relieved. They looked at the various things in the warehouse curiously.
Wang Jing couldn't help asking: Brother Fei, is this preparing for your new film?
Kang Jianfei nodded and continued to fiddle with a piece of black stuff on the ground.
Wang Jing said again: Shooting a science fiction film?
Kang Jianfei asked: I want to publish a new book, do you know this?
Knowing Ah, "Oriental Daily" has been making new book previews since the Lantern Festival.Wang Jing suddenly realized, are you saying that what you want to shoot is the story in that new book?
Kang Jianfei nodded: The Chinese version of Indiana Jones.
Sammo Hung's "Dragons and Phoenix" may have achieved a good box office ten years ago, but it is too outdated now and can only attract some loyal kung fu fans. Few young people like to watch it.
