The first 20 days of July 1983 were all the world of "The Strategy and the Five Blessings Stars". Although the box office of "Mr. Dus" purchased by Anle Theater from Hollywood was also good, the only four theaters and two or three theaters in a row could not create too much momentum.
"Mr. Duss" basically couldn't sell after the box office of over 10 million in Hong Kong, and four theaters of Anle Film also joined the ranks of "God of Gambling".
As soon as "God of Gamblers" was released, it formed a crushing trend in the Hong Kong film industry. "The Five Blessings Stars", which had been released for nearly half a month, immediately had to gradually reduce the number of releases.
As for "Yin Yang Fault" in New Art City, it is not too bad. With the huge pressure from "God of Gamblers", the box office on the first day actually reached 1.58 million.
The attendance rate continued to decline in the following days, with a cumulative box office of nearly 8 million in the first week, and Lin Lingdong, the director of "Yin Yang Clue", also became famous like Zhang Jianting.
Even though "God of Gamblers" was soaring at the box office, DreamWorks' publicity department did not relax. All publicity plans that had been made were implemented in accordance with the stage, and the promotional advertisements of "God of Gamblers" can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong.
From a month ago to the fall of "God of Gamblers", Kang Jianfei set a promotional budget of HK$2.5 million.
Last year, there were only more than 60 Hong Kong films with box office of more than 2 million yuan. The promotional fee of "God of Gambling" alone was equivalent to the box office of many Hong Kong films.
Two weeks after the release of "God of Gamblers", the attendance rate still showed a significant downward trend, and Kang Jianfei suddenly made a big move.
In mid-July, a fire broke out in the wooden house area of Chungtou Village, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, and more than 600 wooden houses were burned down, making more than 900 Hong Kong citizens homeless.
Maqiao suddenly held a press conference and announced that as long as the box office of "God of Gamblers" exceeds 30 million, 10% of the box office will be donated to the Municipal Bureau for the resettlement of fire victims.
After the news was announced, some newspapers criticized DreamWorks for making big box office under the guise of charity, while some newspapers praised DreamWorks for being socially responsible.
Regardless of public opinion, this move has a very obvious effect on the box office gain of "God of Gamblers".
In the third week of the film's release, due to charitable donations as a gimmick, the attendance rate of "God of Gamblers" has not decreased but increased. Many viewers who have watched the film choose to buy tickets to watch it again.
The shooting budget of "God of Gamblers" is 7.5 million, and the advertising budget is 2.5 million. If the cumulative box office is 30 million, donating 10% of the donation is 3 million.
DreamWorks' box office share in Hong Kong has always been 50% of the money, but Kang Jianfei's works and "Senior Sister Royal" and "Mr. Zombie" series have 60% of the box office.
By this calculation, even if "God of Gamblers" has a box office of 30 million, DreamWorks can only earn 5 million after donating 10% of the box office, and has not included taxes and fees.
But even so, Kang Jianfei chose to donate but would not lose.
First, you can accumulate reputation for yourself. Second, if the box office in Hong Kong exceeds 30 million, it will be much easier to issue and share Chengdu in Nanyang, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, and the 3 million donated can be enough to make it back.
Of course, when promoting the site, you must pay some newspapers to help DreamWorks speak nice things.
For example, after "God of Gamblers" donated 3 million, it won't make any profit in the box office in the city, or anything else, try to praise it as much as possible.
In fact, there are hidden revenues in the marketing department that have not been announced at all. For example, the revenue of implanted advertising in "God of Gamblers" is as much as 3.5 million.
The most ruthless one is the sponsorship fee of chocolate brands. The people from DreamWorks Marketing Department selected five mid-to-high-end chocolate brands, and each family came to get sponsorship. They said directly that this was a work by director Kang Jianfei, and they would like to ask for a sponsorship fee of 3 million yuan.
Finally, the Italian chocolate brand Ferrero agreed to sponsor. As soon as the two parties negotiated, Ferrero Chocolate's family gave him 2.8 million yuan in advertising sponsorship fees.
Not to mention anything else, just this super high film sponsorship fee, Kang Jianfei can make all directors in Hong Kong jealous.
If it were someone else, it would be the limit to a movie that could get 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. It would be the only way for Italian chocolate brands to pay for it. The main reason is that Kang Jianfei's film department has sold well over the years. Last year, he even sold "Home Imp", the second most annual box office in North America.
Kang Jianfei did not disappoint his sponsors this time. After the hit "God of Gambling", Ferrero's market share in Hong Kong increased by 6 points that month.
Many viewers, especially those who like to play cards, have to deliberately eat two pieces of chocolate to bring good luck to themselves every time they play cards.
Although Ferrero Chocolate is a world-renowned brand, its products are in several levels, and it is basically not affordable for those who are too poor.
Because Kang Jianfei was deliberately crazy about using Chow Yun-fat's mouth to say the name of the brand Ferrero several times when filming "God of Gambling", so that now everyone picks Ferrero to buy chocolates.
Ferrero Chocolate increased its market share by 6 points in Hong Kong within one month, which is already a miracle of advertising sales. The 2.8 million sponsorship fee is definitely a great value for money.
Not only that, once the brand Ferrero is tied to good luck, consumers will inertial consumption in the future and subconsciously recognize this brand to buy it. This long-term benefit is unpredictable.
Just like the brand Jinlilai, its sales were not good at the beginning, but once the brand was changed to Jinlilai, it immediately won the favor of the bosses.
In any case, the collaboration between Ferrero Chocolate and "God of Gamblers" is definitely a classic case of movie advertising.
Since then, more and more brand owners are willing to cooperate with film companies. They are very happy to pay for films involving famous directors or big stars.
In this regard, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are very embarrassed. Most of their movies are from the beginning of the Republic of China or costume films, which is really difficult to incorporate advertisements and wasted a lot of money.
On the contrary, in "Best Partner 3" of New Art City, because Ferrero's chocolate made a lot of money in "God of Gambling", Lei Juekun successfully received a sponsorship fee of 3 million yuan after contacting him.
With such high advertising costs for movie implantation, those small companies can only watch and drool. Without the support of big-name directors and big-name stars, they are not qualified to make this unexpected fortune.
"Yin Yang Clash" by New Art City has been released, with a cumulative box office of 14.65 million, which is a relatively good result.
"The Five Blessings Stars", which was earlier in painting, won 22 million yuan in box office, making it the highest-grossing movie since Sammo Hung debuted.
"God of Gamblers" was still popular after the "Yin Yang Cluster" was released. Until the end of August, the cumulative box office of "God of Gamblers" had reached more than 28 million, just a little bit.
DreamWorks opened a small window in the Oriental Daily, and updated the box office status of "God of Gambling" every day.
Thanks to the promise of donating donations, the box office of "God of Gamblers" suddenly set off another movie viewing wave, and the box office reached more than 33 million in a few days.
Until September 5, "God of Gamblers" finally fell into the picture more than 40 days after its release, with a cumulative box office of 34.18 million in Hong Kong, once again breaking the Hong Kong movie box office record.
"Movie Biweekly" wrote an article and commented: "God of Gambling" will become a weather vane for Hong Kong gambling films, just like "The True Color of Heroes".There will definitely be a series of similar gambling films after "God of Gambling", just like the current flood of Hong Kong hero films.The God of Gambling, played by Chow Yun-fat, has become a classic image of gambling movies.When people mentioned Chow Yun-fat in the past, people would think of Xu Wenqiang, and when people mentioned Chow Yun-fat in the past, people would think of Brother Ma. Now when people mentioned Chow Yun-fat in the first place, the first thing people think of is the god of gambling Gao Jin.
"Ming Pao Weekly" is more entertaining and gossipy, but the topic of this issue is to take a different approach and begin to summarize the main female characters in various movies since Kang Jianfei's debut, and call her "Flying Girl".
From the original Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia, to later Guan Zhilin, Chung Chuhong, Hui Yinghong and others, to the current Lin Fengjiao and Li Meifeng, Ming Pao Weekly has commented on them one by one:
Kang Jianfei has a magic power to turn stones into gold. Even if the actress who showed up in his movies is not very popular, her fame will at least soar.And under the camera of Kang Jianfei, the potential charm of these actresses will be stimulated, making people unconsciously illuminate.The most outstanding one is Brigitte Lin. Who would have thought that Meiren, who has always played the heroine in literary and romance films, would have such a heroic and cool side?Whether it is the gracefulness in "The Legend of the Sword and Ma Dan" or the unwilling beauties in "The Royal Sister", they all show the heroic spirit of Brigitte Lin, allowing the audience to appreciate her other charm... Lin Fengjiao was as famous as Brigitte Lin in Taiwan. This time Kang Jianfei brought her to Hong Kong to develop. Lin Fengjiao's brief appearance in "God of Gambling" should be just a test of the waters. The author is looking forward to how Lin Fengjiao will show her new side under the lens of director Kang Jianfei...
More Hong Kong media are focusing on the box office of "God of Gamblers" and Chow Yun-fat's wonderful acting skills.
When "God of Gamblers" set a new Hong Kong box office record, the entertainment pages of all Hong Kong newspapers published this news on the headlines, with lamenting, envious, and jealous, but the unanimous tone was all about celebrating the new box office in Hong Kong.
The two most eye-catching movies this summer are "The Five Blessings Stars" and "God of Gambling". Sammo Hung and Kang Jianfei are also often brought together for discussion.
The funny thing is the male protagonist Chow Yun-fat. Because the reporter accidentally photographed Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian having conflicts, the next day, a story "Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yu-fat are about to break up, or if they are moved by Lin Fengjiao because of Fa-brother".
How could Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian have a quarrel involving Lin Fengjiao?
Of course, it was because the two played a couple in "God of Gamblers", and Lin Fengjiao obviously had few scenes. As a result, after the film was released, the exposure rate increased greatly due to scandals.
Not only that, the fact that Anthony Wong pursued Lee Mi-feng during filming was also revealed by a crew member, and the outside world speculated whether the two were dating.
Anthony Wong was harassed by reporters every day. After being annoyed, she quickly said: Miss Li Meifeng already has a boyfriend, but this person is not me.
Anthony Wong was taught a lesson by her agent for this sentence. As a member of the girl idol group, Li Meifeng's charm will naturally be greatly reduced with her boyfriend. Oriental Entertainment Company quickly came out to clarify.
Anyway, throughout August this year, the pages of major entertainment newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong were often occupied by the main creators of "God of Gambling".
Anthony Wong, who plays Daozi, has become famous and is comparable to Andy Lau, a rising star on TVB. She is ranked among the two new generations of young actors by the newspaper.
Even Xiang Huaqiang, who plays Long Wu, suddenly became many well-known stars, and some young directors who don’t know the details even wanted to find him to film a play scene.
On the morning of the second day after the "God of Gamblers" was painted, DreamWorks held a press conference.
The reporter from Feng Huáng TV also came to the scene with a camera. In front of everyone, Ma Qiao donated 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars in donation on behalf of Kang Jianfei.
While fulfilling the promise, Ma Qiao also announced on the spot: Mr. Kang's filming of "God of Gambling" is purely a film commercial entertainment act, not to beautify gambling and gamblers.On behalf of Mr. Kang, I would like to solemnly announce that the film "God of Gambling" is not only in Hong Kong, but also in all regions where it is released, and is willing to donate 10% of the box office to fund local charity!
Slap sex...
Applause roared at the press conference, and the long spear and short cannons began to bombard the horse bridge.
It’s not that Kang Jianfei discovered his conscience, but that after the release of "God of Gamblers", it did bring many bad social impacts.
Gambling is already popular in Hong Kong, not only playing mahjong or playing cards, but also being very popular in horse and Mark Six lottery.
After the movie "God of Gambling" came out, it once again ignited the enthusiasm of people in Hong Kong for gambling, causing neighbors to gather gambling and disputes.
Not only that, there are also some teenagers who practice gambling skills after watching "God of Gambling".
Of course, they can't practice gambling, but many people go astray because of this. "God of Gambling" has harmed many young people like the future "Young and Dangerous".
Although Kang Jianfei is a bitch, he doesn't want to be criticized by thousands of people, so he took the initiative to spread 10% of the box office to do charity.
First, accumulate good deeds and good reputations for yourself, and second, it can offset the public opinion that is unfavorable to him.
However, Kang Jianfei's concerns were obviously a bit redundant. On the third day after the "God of Gamblers" was lost, Typhoon Allen attacked Hong Kong head-on, causing 10 deaths, 333 injuries, and 12 missing heavy casualties. The economic losses were even more uncountable. The Hong Kong media's attention turned to Typhoon.
After the impact of the typhoon passed, news of the breakdown of the second round of negotiations between China and Britain came again. Not only did Hong Kong's stock and real estate markets plummet, but the Hong Kong dollar also depreciated wildly.
In less than half a month, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate fell to a historical low of 960 Hong Kong dollars against the US dollar.
For Hong Kong citizens, it seems that it is the end of the world, and it seems that the People's Liberation Army opposite will come to the scene at any time.
Ordinary citizens began to rush to buy daily necessities in a frantically manner. First, they could reduce the losses of the continuous depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, and second, they were afraid that they would not be able to buy things when they fought.
There are long shopping queues at the entrances of all department stores and daily necessities in Hong Kong.
Especially those old ladies and women are the craziest. They not only buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but also buy toilet paper boxes one by one and save it.
Soon, there was a rumor from somewhere that the mainland would blow up the Wanyi Reservoir and cut off the water supply in Hong Kong to regain Hong Kong.
Citizens bought large tanks and began to store water crazily, causing insufficient water pressure on many high-rise floors, and even daily water use became difficult.
The water cut was clearly caused by insufficient water pressure, but it was regarded as a proof of the explosion of the reservoir, and panic spread rapidly throughout Hong Kong again.
Hong Kong was in chaos in September, and the movie release plans of major companies were temporarily cancelled because not many people would come out to watch movies during this period, and most of them snatched things and stayed at home to watch TV.
The disaster of the film company has become a blessing for TV stations. The ratings of TVB and Feng Huáng have increased, so both TV stations are preparing to release their fine TV series.
What made Kang Jianfei laugh and cry was that this time TVB actually took the lead in playing "Bao Qingtian".
This has always been the case with the big shots in Hong Kong's film and television industry. After the fight comes, they are simply facing each other.
This was the case with Shaw Brothers and Dianmao at the beginning. When Dianmao was preparing to film "Leung Zhu", Shaw Brothers immediately took the lead in filming "Leung Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
In the past, the ratings of the TVB and Lissi were also the same. When Lissi found out that Run Run Shaw asked Aaron Ah to come back to film "Chu Liuxiang", he immediately rushed to film "Chu Liuxiang" and came out to play.
Before Kang Jianfei filmed "Bao Qingtian" this time, he took a lot of time to prepare costumes and props, so naturally he could not hide it from TVB.
The result is that before Feng Huáng's "Bao Qingtian" has started broadcasting, TVB's "Bao Qingtian" has already achieved good ratings.
Under preconceived circumstances, if the quality of the two TV series is not very different, the subsequent broadcast of Feng Huáng will be considered to be a sure loss.
"Mr. Duss" basically couldn't sell after the box office of over 10 million in Hong Kong, and four theaters of Anle Film also joined the ranks of "God of Gambling".
As soon as "God of Gamblers" was released, it formed a crushing trend in the Hong Kong film industry. "The Five Blessings Stars", which had been released for nearly half a month, immediately had to gradually reduce the number of releases.

Before Kang Jianfei filmed "Bao Qingtian" this time, he took a lot of time to prepare costumes and props, so naturally he could not hide it from TVB.
The result is that before Feng Huáng's "Bao Qingtian" has started broadcasting, TVB's "Bao Qingtian" has already achieved good ratings.
Under preconceived circumstances, if the quality of the two TV series is not very different, the subsequent broadcast of Feng Huáng will be considered to be a sure loss.
