Wong Kar-wai was very depressed, and there were many things that made him depressed.
Two months ago, "East Evil and Western Poison" was filmed well in Yulin, Shaanxi, but the crew members were arrested for collective prostitution, which stopped the entire crew.
Celebrities of all sizes cannot afford to wait for the detained clients. Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung and others flew back to Hong Kong to shoot other films.
Just when Wong Kar-wai re-summoned the actors to film in the mainland, Maggie Cheung suddenly said that she could not go anymore and asked Wong Kar-wai to wait for her for a month.
Okay, after inquiring, I found out that Maggie Cheung was forced to go to Yonggao Company to shoot a film. The company's boss, Roger Cheng, had a community background. Wong Kar-wai immediately withered and had to stay in Hong Kong and continue to wait.
Also depressed is Andy Lau. His pay has dropped from 10 million to 8 million, which is already depressing enough.
Unexpectedly, Yonggao's film contract was even more outrageous. He only offered a 5 million yuan salary. The day after Andy Lau refused, he received a threatening letter.
In desperation, Andy Lau had to call Cai Songlin, the boss of the Scholars Company, for help.
Cai Songlin is an investor of Andy Lau Tianmu Company, a Taiwanese publisher of Tianmu Company, and an investor of Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison".
Roger Cheng's actions of using forced means to invite Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung made Cai Songlin very angry. He called Xiang Huaqiang directly and asked Roger Cheng what the hell was.
Xiang Huaqiang and Roger Cheng have a good relationship. Yongsheng's movies were previously released in Jiahe Theater, but later chose to cooperate with Roger Cheng to release in Yonggao Theater.
Xiang Huaqiang also cooperates with Andy Lau and Cai Songlin. For example, "Five-Billion Inspector Lei Luo" is the male lead who invited Andy Lau to be, and Yongsheng's films also rely on Cai Songlin to sell them to Taiwan.
So I was confused about the boss, what the hell is this?Several partners have a conflict, and he still has to mediate from it. It is not good to go to either side.
Xiang Huaqiang had to serve as a peacemaker. Cai Songlin did not fly to Hong Kong due to busy affairs, and only Andy Lau came to make peace.
Roger Cheng bit him to death and said that Cai Songlin would not give him face and had to let Andy Lau make a movie for him. Xiang Huaqiang was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded Roger Cheng.
Faced with Xiang Huaqiang's anger, Roger Cheng finally became timid and added another 3 million yuan in salary to Andy Lau. As for Maggie Cheung, he still kept chewing on him.
Maggie Cheung and Cherie Chung are good friends, and she quickly went to visit the pregnant Hong Gu with a gift.
Chung Chuhong couldn't hide her face, so she had to call Kang Jianfei for help. Kang Jianfei said to Maggie Cheung clearly: You are not an artist from Oriental Entertainment Agency now, so I have no reason to stand up for you!
The next day, Maggie Cheung signed into Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company and things were resolved smoothly.
Although this matter was settled quickly, it had a great impact in the circle. Many well-known artists chose to join Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company in order to seek the protection of Kang Jianfei.
Although Hong Kong movies are on the decline, Kang Jianfei's Oriental Entertainment Group is booming, and whether it is making movies or being an artist agent, it is smoother than before.
Not only that, Kang Jianfei also announced the establishment of Oriental Music Group Company as the summer season is about to end.
This company is a subsidiary of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, and has six subsidiaries: Fengxing Records, Xiong Fei Records, UFO Records, Ai Hui Music, Haidie Music (Singapore) and Fashion Music (South Korea). Oriental Music Group's headquarters is located in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Hong Kong.
On the other hand, Kang Jianfei has become the company's largest shareholder. Haidie Music is a Singapore record company acquired by Kang Jianfei directly spent money, while Fashion Music is a music department separated from the Korean subsidiary of Oriental Group.
If you spread the world map, you can clearly see that Oriental Music Group includes both East Asia and Southeast Asia, forming a complete regional network.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a strong shock in the Chinese music scene. Countless music producers, singers and record company owners were looking up at this behemoth that suddenly emerged.
The Hong Kong Financial Daily, which has only been founded for a few years, also specially brought out the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group to make a special topic, called "The Expanded Kang's Entertainment Empire".
If there was a Shaw film kingdom in the 1960s, then the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group could definitely support an entertainment empire, and the territory of this empire is still expanding.
Fourteen years ago, a mainland boy came swimming in the sea with hunger. I'm afraid his pursuit at that time was just to eat and wear enough.
No one could have thought that the boy who played a supporting role on the set of Shaw Brothers Qingshui Bay would become the richest man in Hong Kong today.
The development of Kang Jianfei's career grew from a film company to a large entertainment group, just like the Mongolian tribe ruled by Temujin, and gradually expanded into the Mongolian Empire that trans-European and Asia.
Let’s first look at the composition of this empire:
Film and television production categories: Oriental Dream Factory, Oriental TV Production Company, Oriental Film and Television Advertising Company (Taiwan), Korean Entertainment Fashion Film and Television Production Company (Korea), Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.
Media publishing category: Feng Huáng TV, Macau TV, Oriental Media Group (under the jurisdiction of Tiantian Daily, Oriental Publishing House and other companies)
Cinema distribution category: Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company, Oriental Cinema Company (Hong Kong), Oriental Cinema Company (Taiwan), Oriental International Cinema (Mainland)
Animation and comics: Dark Horse Comics Company, Dark Horse Animation Company.
Music Records: Oriental Music Group (understood by six subsidiaries, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Singapore)
According to our investigation, Kang Jianfei has also invested in some other entertainment-related industries, such as Beijing's Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company, Los Angeles Oriental Film Company, and Tokyo's Sega Game Company, which have not yet been included in the Oriental Group's system.
In addition, Kang Jianfei has already controlled 15% of Mingpao Group's shares. I believe that one day in the future, Mingpao Group will become a part of Oriental Media.
These groups and companies are tied and promoted each other, forming a powerful force, and it is not an exaggeration to call them Asia's largest entertainment group.
Let’s analyze it step by step to see how this entertainment empire grew and grew.In 1979, Kang Jianfei spent 803 yuan to ask a third-party agency to register a film company, which was later Oriental Dream Factory...
This report by the Hong Kong Financial Daily was extremely successful, and it unveiled the mystery of Oriental Entertainment Group for the first time.
Even professionals in the entertainment and media circles have seen the context of Oriental Group completely for the first time, and finally they couldn't help but sigh at this giant.
Wenhui Po praised Kang Jianfei as the most successful figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, no doubt about it. Cheng Bao also said: Mr. Kang's entertainment industry layout is perfect, with unique investment vision, enough to be comparable to large European and American companies.
Rightist newspapers did not come out to blacken Kang Jianfei this time, but took the opportunity to launch a follow-up version of Kang Jianfei's scandal, and then posted various scandals of Kang Jianfei to follow the trend and hype to compete for sales. Well-known actresses such as Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh were all said to be Kang Jianfei's underground lovers.
Maggie Cheung was afraid of being unhappy with her friend Chung Chung. In an interview with reporters, she said that she and Mr. Kang were just ordinary friends and had absolutely no ambiguous connection, and she was also planning to be Chung Chung’s future children’s godmother.
As soon as this interview was released, major media climaxed again.Because Maggie Cheung missed her mouth in an interview, everyone then realized that Cherie Chung was also pregnant with Kang Jianfei's child.
As for Michelle Yeoh's statement, it was very ambiguous. She said: I admire Mr. Kang very much and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Faced with the raging public opinion boom, Kang Jianfei ignored it, but his newly established Oriental Music Group became popular. Many new singers who dreamed of becoming famous all wanted to sign a contract with the record company under the group.
Some famous popular singers have given priority to the olive branches delivered by Oriental Music Group after their contract with the original company expires.
Under such circumstances, "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" was released in Hong Kong in September, with a box office of 41.6 million yuan.
Last year, there were many in Hong Kong's box office of 40 million, but this year only one film starring Stephen Chow barely broke the 40 million mark. Now "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is the second film, and it firmly sits in the annual box office championship.
Faced with the hot sale of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", other film companies were not even jealous because Kang Jianfei and they were not in the same world at all.
Any director who can shoot "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", will have 20 million yuan if the box office is overwhelmed. If you don't pay attention, you will lose to the moon. The Hong Kong box office of this movie is purely supported by Kang Jianfei's reputation.
In Taiwan, "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is still being screened, with a total box office of more than NT$46 million, and it is very likely to be sold for NT$60 million.
The release plan for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" in other regions has also been launched. South Korea is scheduled to be released on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Singapore is scheduled to be October, and Malaysia, the Philippines and other places are November.
Kang Jianfei has no longer asked about the box office of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural". The child in Wen Bixia's belly has been born, and several other pregnant women will also be given birth. These are more attractive than the cold box office.
Two months ago, "East Evil and Western Poison" was filmed well in Yulin, Shaanxi, but the crew members were arrested for collective prostitution, which stopped the entire crew.
