In the 1980s, the various mechanisms, including Japan and the United States, were not as perfect as they were later.
Take the Hong Kong film industry as an example. Movies and TV series rarely hold new film press conferences, because for production companies, holding press conferences is another expense.
Don’t think it’s just a few cups of tea on site. If you want others to help you promote it, you have to give major newspapers a fee for publicity.
Of course, it’s okay not to pay, but in that case the publicity effect will not be maximized, and there may even be newspapers that sing opposite tunes.
However, since Kang Jianfei made several new film launches, other well-known directors have followed suit and started promoting the film at the beginning of filming.
As long as the director and starring are famous, there is no need to worry about not having a reporter at the new film press conference, because reporters also have to grab the news.
As for the newspaper's promotional fee, most companies are unwilling to pay. Anyway, as long as the director and starring actor are famous, there will always be a few newspapers that will automatically help promote.
Kang Jianfei said that a press conference was held at 3:00 pm, and many entertainment reporters even came in the morning. If they couldn't enter the film and television city, they simply guarded the door and called the film and television city canteen at noon to send takeout.
The reporters are working so hard, but they just try their luck to dig up the news first.
The reason why Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong got married is too fierce. One is a newly emerging film tycoon in Hong Kong and the other is the daughter of the Macau gambling king's family. The combination of the two is not just entertainment news. As long as the news is confirmed, the news can be fully on the social version.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the gatekeeper of the film and television city finally allowed reporters to enter with their certificates, and the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed in.
They squatted for a long time in the morning, neither touching Rosamund Kwan nor blocking Li Jiaxin's car, and they did not find any explosive news.
More than 50 reporters came to this press conference, which shows that Kang Jianfei is still very proud. It would be nice if the directors and celebrities had twenty or thirty reporters at press conferences.
In the large conference room, reporters sat in a dense crowd, and photographers and videographers competed for the best position in the aisle.
The main purpose of everyone attending the press conference today is not Kang Jianfei's new film. Although the movie "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is indeed very popular, it is still not enough to watch the marriage between Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong.
As time passed by little by little, the reporters were drinking tea and chatting while waiting.
At 2:50 p.m., Kang Jianfei finally entered the venue with his people.
Originally, no one took the new film seriously. He was preparing to ask Kang Jianfei directly about his marriage at the beginning of the free questioning session. As a result, the lineup brought by Kang Jianfei was stunned by the reporter.
For such a popular novel "The Chronicles of the Grave Robbers", after learning that Kang Jianfei was going to make a movie, many book fans were guessing who would play the main characters in the novel.
Among them, Sammo Hung has the highest call for playing Fatty Wang, and who is the most famous of the fat man in Hong Kong?
But the creative lineup Kang Jianfei brought now is too weird. After six or seven people came, the reporter recognized Wu Zhenyu, Zeng Jiang, Cheng Kui'an and Dong Wei.
Who is the remaining tall and beautiful girl?
Is it the heroine?
And that fat man, he can’t play Fat Man Wang in the novel, why don’t he have any impression of him?
After Kang Jianfei sat down, a few minutes before the press conference began. He said directly: I know everyone here may not be able to wait, so let's start directly.Today's press conference was hosted by me personally. First, let me introduce the people around me, Wu Zhenyu, Zeng Jiang, Dong Wei and Cheng Kui'an, who play Wu Xie, San Shu, Pan Zi and Akui respectively in the film.As for the beautiful woman next to me, she is Zhang Qiling, the heroine of "Grave Robbers"; Lin Xue plays Fatty Wang...
There was noisy in the press room. Although they had a premonition, they were surprised to hear Kang Jianfei personally telling him that he would let the two newcomers play the heroine and the second male lead.
There are many speculations about the actresses, such as Cherie Chung, Joey Wong, Rosamund Kwan, and even Chiu Shuzhen and Kareem Rene, among the reserve heroines that everyone considers.
What does Kang Jianfei mean to invite a newcomer to be the heroine?
He is not afraid of the movie being a failure.
With the identity of Kang Jianfei's heroine in the new film, Zhang Min seemed to have a different temperament in the eyes of these reporters.
Only then did everyone look at the new actor seriously and find that Zhang Min is actually a beauty. Although she is not as charming and beautiful as other actresses, she has a unique and cool temperament.
Although beauties are beauties, there are many beauties in Hong Kong, and only a very small number of them can become big stars.Why did Kang Jianfei choose this Zhang Min to play the heroine?Could it be Kang Jianfei’s new lover again!
When the reporters think of this, they don’t feel much excitement.
If it were other celebrities, if someone found out that they had underground love, the reporters would all be surprised to find the news.
But when it comes to Kang Jianfei, perhaps there are too many actresses who have had scandals with him, which actually makes all the reporters numb.
Kang Jianfei is too lice, and readers are also a little aesthetically tired when they see his scandal every few days. Gradually, they are no longer interested in who he is dating.
Hong Kong is not the mainland, and there is no rigid requirement for actors to be both moral and artistic. Unless they do something that arouses public anger, it is nothing to have a few scandals.
Kang Jianfei is not an actor or singer who relies on his face to make a living. Standing on a few boats may affect his reputation, but as long as the movie is made well, the audience will still pay to enter the theater.
The actresses who have a scandal with Kang Jianfei have not suffered much reputation and sometimes they are particularly concerned by the media. Rene Michelle Reis became very popular last year because of this hype.
What really made Kang Jianfei feel very hurt was that He Chaoqiong's mother revealed to reporters about getting married.
The married man is not the diamond princess. It is fake to not be jealous after hearing this news. Not one or two people want to leave him after breaking up. Kang Jianfei still has to spend a lot of time and energy to coax him.
I would like to emphasize here that "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" will be a special effects blockbuster. I specially invited Mr. Stan Winston, who made special effects for "Terminator", to be the one sitting on my right hand. Kang Jianfei raised a finger. The budget for this drama is temporarily set at HK$100 million, and HK$100 million is just a conservative estimate. As long as the movie can be made well, the budget will not be topped off!
100 million Hong Kong dollars, can you get the box office back?
The cost of the two "Shushan" is only about 50 million yuan. What will the 100 million yuan film look like?
Kang Jianfei is brave enough to ask a newcomer to be the heroine in a 100 million blockbuster.
……
The reporters who did not take Kang Jianfei's new film seriously have been completely shocked now, and even the marriage of Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong was temporarily left behind by them.
In Hong Kong, where the average budget for film reviews is less than 10 million, Kang Jianfei suddenly announced that he would shoot 100 million movies, and said that it would be strange if the investment would not be topped off.
In fact, it’s not that Kang Jianfei is too advanced, but that everyone’s thinking has not changed. At this time, the market for Hong Kong movies is already big enough, so there is no need to worry about the difficulty of recovering costs like a few years ago.
In another time and space, Jackie Chan will be filming the "Flying Eagle Plan" with an investment of over 100 million yuan next year. Isn't it profitable?
Not to mention anything else, which movies that Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai invested in Hollywood in recent years have not cost more than 100 million yuan after converting them to Hong Kong dollars?
Kang Jianfei is very advantageous in the film pay of celebrities. Wu Zhenyu, who has the highest salary among the creative lineup, only received 900,000 yuan. Zeng Jiang, Dong Wei, Cheng Kuian and Lin Xue, the combined salary is less than 1 million yuan.
Although Zhang Min plays the heroine, as a new actor, Kang Jianfei gives her a pay of 200,000 yuan, which is already very generous.
Judging from the actor's pay, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" can only be considered a small and medium-sized cost, and all the remaining money is spent on production.
Kang Jianfei has great expectations for this movie. He wants to enter the Western market again through "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and lead Hong Kong special effects movies and adventure themes by the way, so he must be required to strive for excellence.
Kang Jianfei believes that most of the funds for a movie are spent on the production of the movie itself, and a small portion is spent on artificial pay, which is the most appropriate situation.
But the more you go back, the more you get, the more stars in Europe, America or Asia, the pay for stars around the world is soaring.
How deformed is another time and space port film?
A movie costing 20 million may be used to pay celebrity pay, and the remaining 5 million will be used to shoot.
The movies made in this way will inevitably be shoddy and rely on the faces of celebrities to attract audiences. Over time, it will inevitably arouse the audience's disgust. It would be strange if you encounter a well-made Hollywood blockbuster.
OK, everyone can ask questions freely now.Kang Jianfei was very satisfied with the reporters' reaction, and this was the effect he wanted.
The next reporter's questions were indeed related to movies. The first one was: Director Kang, a blockbuster costing 100 million yuan, why don't you choose a few popular stars to shoot?
Kang Jianfei smiled pretentiously and said: I only look at whether it is suitable or not, and not how famous the actor is.
Did Miss Zhang Min make any movies before?Another reporter was obviously more interested in Zhang Min who suddenly appeared.
Zhang Min was inevitably nervous when she first appeared in such an occasion. Kang Jianfei replied to her: Amin was a student at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and had played several supporting roles and advertisements. I accidentally discovered her in an advertisement.
In the following time, the reporter's questions were all about the new film "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Occasionally, someone asked about scandals, but Kang Jianfei deliberately ignored them. Anyway, his purpose today is to divert the topic of public opinion.
Take the Hong Kong film industry as an example. Movies and TV series rarely hold new film press conferences, because for production companies, holding press conferences is another expense.
Don’t think it’s just a few cups of tea on site. If you want others to help you promote it, you have to give major newspapers a fee for publicity.
