Kang Jianfei had two previous movies, which were directly planned to premiere on the same day in the world.
It is said that it is the world, but in fact it is East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Because Kang Jianfei's movies are sought after in these places, local theaters are happy to create a gimmick of the same day premiere around the world to attract audiences from their respective regions.
But as Hong Kong films become stronger and more competitive, even with Kang Jianfei's current fame, it is difficult for new films to be released in Asian countries on the same day.
DreamWorks' cooperative theater company in Taiwan is China Film Company, and Taiwan's four state-owned theater chains, including China Film, have left all the best schedules for American blockbusters due to pressure from the Lee government.
When DreamWorks collaborated with scholars and dragons, new films were always released in the New Year and summer seasons, but now they can only squeeze out the gaps left by Hollywood films.
Who told Kang Jianfei to be a famous pro-communist?
Li Zi had just come to power and was not stable, so she didn't want to cause trouble to lift the ban on Kang Jianfei. Now that she has the power, she has not directly ordered the ban on Yingmeng Factory's films.
In the past ten years, Kang Jianfei has invested and built 9 cinemas in Taiwan, and now they are all under the Sino-UK Cinemas through franchise.
China Film Company's attitude of helping American blockbusters made Kang Jianfei feel more disgusted. He is already considering whether to establish his own theater chain in Taiwan based on the original nine cinemas.
The reason why I have not implemented my ideas for a long time is mainly because Taiwan is too complicated.
The existing major theater chains in Taiwan have already defined the Taiwan film market, and behind each theater chain are black and white.
Kang Jianfei wants to set up a theater chain in Taiwan, which is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. After the theater chain company is established, there will definitely be accidents every few days. Either it is a gangster or the relevant departments will come to check taxes and hygiene. An excuse for insufficient fire protection measures can make your theater close and rectify for half a month.
Because of this, Kang Jianfei's nine Taiwanese cinemas were hiding under China Film Company, and only with the background of the Taiwan authorities can he be spared from trouble.
After the release of "Trumen's World" in Hong Kong, since it did not get the Spring Festival schedule in other parts of Asia as soon as possible, Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company has been negotiating with the theater, hoping to get the summer movies in various places.
Therefore, after the release of "Trump World" in Hong Kong, there has been no overseas box office news. Instead, in North America across the ocean, "Trump World" has been launched in the spring time again.
At this time last year, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" showed great power in the North American market, and finally ranked 9th in the 1990 North American annual box office list with a box office of US$10.8 billion.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which Jiahe participated in the investment, ranks fifth in the box office list with a box office of 12.7 billion.
It's another spring season, and Kang Jianfei's film made a comeback and was jointly released through Oriental Film Company and Paramount.
Due to the good results of last year, Americana businessmen are no longer stingy this year and directly gave "Trumen's World" 1,958 premiere canvas, which is a treatment that only famous directors and big producers can have.
Like the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which Jiahe participated in the investment last year, the number of canvases on the first day was as high as 2,006 yuan, and the premiere canvas of "Die Hard 2" was even more crazy.
Generally speaking, the box office of the spring movies is not too high. The top ten movies in North America's annual box office list are basically from the summer and end of the year.
However, last year was an exception. Among the top ten box office lists, spring movies accounted for 3.
Unlike many good films last year, this year's spring season has finally returned to normal. There are no fierce films in the movies released at the same time as "The World of Truman".
But what is even more strange is that two dark horses appeared in February, which was the off-season box office.
The horror thriller "Sleeping with the Enemy" starring Julia Roberts, a big-mouth beauty, and another low-cost film "Silence of the Lambs", these two niche films that are not favored by hospitals actually exceeded 100 million yuan in the off-season of the movie, and "Silence of the Lambs" even sold a horror box office of $130 million.
After "The Silence of the Lambs" began to be released in various parts of North America, the spring time finally arrived, and "The World of Truman" finally met North American audiences.
This time the film promotion is obviously better. There are two lines of big words written on the movie poster: The new work of the director "The Truman Shw" by the Oscar nominated director.
In this spring when good movies are scarce, the new Oscar-Best Foreign Language Film Director's work is quite attractive. Last year's "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" made many young people remember Kang Jianfei.
Quinney is one of them, a Hispanic and working as a salesman in an insurance worker.
As spring break comes, countless young Americans are considering how to play, drinking and having fun, traveling together, or going to watch a movie with couples.
But for insurance salesmen, this is not a break.
Just after signing a insurance policy, Quini didn't have much excitement or sense of accomplishment.When he was just doing this job, he successfully sold an insurance policy to make him happy all day, but now he is only numb and exhausted.
It was already dark, and the colorful lights on the streets were lit up.The hungry Quini didn't want to go home because what was waiting for him at home was his wife's chatter and his children's willful nonsense.
After having a casual fast food, Quinny wandered aimlessly on the street. When passing by a cinema, he suddenly saw a poster at the door: Tony Leung was riding a small sailboat. He stretched out and touched forward, and the expression on his face collapsed and despaired.
Kang's new movie?Quinny looked at the promotional lyrics on the poster and suddenly decided to go in and take a look. Last year's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" made him very enjoyable.
After buying the ticket, Quinny entered a screening room and glanced at him and found that there were nearly 50% of the audience sitting. The attendance rate was already very good in the spring.
It seems this is not an adventure action movie.
The promotional poster is a science fiction drama.
I still prefer Kang's Oriental Adventure movies, which is so cool.
It's Ah, the action movies made by Chinese people are great, but unfortunately the plot has always been a shortcoming.This time Kang actually abandoned his strengths and played the plot, which really makes people worry about the quality of the film.
There are no movies to watch during this period. I hope this "Truman Show" will not disappoint people.
……
Two young men around Quini were whispering. Judging from the content of their conversation, both of them could only be considered as Kang Jianfei's artifact fans.
They hadn't even watched "Fangfang" and only knew Kang Jianfei's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
Quini felt a little funny. As a movie lover, he became interested in Kang Jianfei, a Chinese director, after watching "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" last year.
He bought many previous movie videos from Kang Jianfei, and he knew that Kang Jianfei was Paramount's second largest shareholder, and that the first movie "Home Imperial" series that has been sold in recent years was from Kang Jianfei.
Can't Kang Wan have the plot?His "Fang Fang" has won the Cannes Film Festival's unique special award: the most popular movie award.
The film begins, and Truman, played by Tony Tony appears in the mirror.
In the previous few minutes, there was still a faint sound of conversation in the screening hall, but as the plot of the movie progressed, the director deliberately set the suspense that the audience had to concentrate.
The screening room became quiet, and the occasional funny scenes attracted bursts of laughter, but the audience quickly couldn't laugh.
Quini is a very serious person. When the TV show Truman Show was revealed, he thought to himself: Kang's movie has big loopholes this time, how could someone be locked on the island for the rest of his life?
The movie continues to be screened, and the protagonist uses a plan to paralyze everyone and disappears out of thin air under the surveillance of countless cameras.
This plot suddenly released the audience's previously suppressed emotions, and Quinny could even hear the relaxed exhalation.
Wow!
A sudden scream broke out in the screening hall, but the huge moon in the sky suddenly flipped and disappeared. The entire sky was torn off like a huge piece of wallpaper, and the red sun rose rapidly from the sea level.
So that's it!Not only the island, but also the sea and the sky outside are all the studios of this show. Those were not plot loopholes before!
Quinny suddenly realized and also understood why this movie was classified as science fiction.
After laughter and depression, "Truemon's World" finally ushered in a climax of tear, and the hero drove to the other side in the wind and waves.
Rush out!
Don't give up, stick to Ah.
Oh mygd!
Stupid director, turn off the wind and waves quickly!
……
The movie "Trump World" is very interesting. It is a drama in the play, and Truman is the protagonist in the TV show in the movie.
At this moment, not only the audience in the cinema were watching Truman rushing through the wind and waves, but the TV audience in the movie were also watching, and everyone was cheering for Truman.
The shouts from the audience on the screen further mobilized the emotions of the audience in the screening hall, so many people shouted out excitedly.
When Truman defeated the wind and waves, climbed up from the water, and sat on the boat and smiled at the camera, the eyes of the big man Quini were a little wet.
The sense of immersion is the greatest success of "Trumen's World". Many viewers unconsciously regard Trumen as their image portrayal, and their emotions change with Trumen's depression and joy.
I love that smile so much.
Who is this Chinese male actor?It's so contagious when you smile.
……
Quini thought to herself: I know who he is, the male protagonist of "Fangfang", but what is his name?
Oh, NO!
While Quini was still thinking about Tony Leung’s name, a moment of silence suddenly appeared in the screening room, and then some viewers couldn’t help but scream: the male protagonist who was trying to rush out of the bondage and headed to the other side had hit a wall at the last moment!
Fortunately, this wall hit is only a short time, and a happy ending will be ushered in a moment.
But in a short period of time, the huge emotional changes from sad to joy, from joy to sorrow, and finally turned to joy, made some emotional audiences lose control of their emotions and even covered their mouths and laughed and shed tears.
Quini slowly exhaled the turbid air from his chest. He had a lot of feelings about this movie. Like the superficial profession of the male protagonist in the film, he was an insurance salesman.
Boss, friends, wife...
He felt that all the characters in the film had deep metaphors in reality, and the more carefully he thought about it, the more he felt that the movie was full of aftertaste.
It is said that it is the world, but in fact it is East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Because Kang Jianfei's movies are sought after in these places, local theaters are happy to create a gimmick of the same day premiere around the world to attract audiences from their respective regions.
