"Shushan" is a global box office hit, so it is natural to hold a celebration banquet.

Just a few days after the launch of Macau Satellite TV, on the eve of the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", DreamWorks held a large-scale celebration banquet for Xu Ke's studio, and at least more than half of the signed artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency were invited to participate, and some independent directors and actors also came.

"Congratulations, congratulations on the big hit of "Shushan", and I also wish Mr. Kang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" a hot box office!" Zeng Zhiwei got out of the car and happened to meet Kang Jianfei, and immediately clenched his fists and congratulated with a smile on his face.

Seriously speaking, Zeng Zhiwei was originally the manager of the film production department of DreamWorks, but he actually left DreamWorks to make films with Hong Jinbao and Mecca, and the films he made were still fighting with "Shushan" to rob the audience, which is a very bad behavior.

But Zeng Zhiwei is really good at being a person, not only before leaving DreamWorks, he privately talked to Kang Jianfei several times, and then he also took care of and cooperated with Oriental Entertainment Agency. For example, one-third of the actors in "Rich Train" are artists under Kang Jianfei, and the heroes and heroines of the next movie of his good friend film company are also Zhang Guorong and Wen Bixuan respectively.

"Shushan" did not invite Zeng Zhiwei to today's celebration banquet, but this guy took the initiative to come over to participate, and as soon as they met, they wished Kang Jianfei's new film a big hit, can Kang Jianfei still drive people away?

"Your "Rich Train" is also selling well, congratulations to Boss Zeng!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly said modestly: "In front of Mr. Kang, I am not a boss. ”

The two laughed. Entertainment reporters have gathered around. Although some people are curious about how Zeng Zhiwei appeared here, the focus of reporters' attention is still on Kang Jianfei.

"Mr. Kang, it is rumored that the global box office of "Shushan" has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Is it true? A reporter preemptively asked.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's not true, it's still a few million dollars." ”

The reporters suddenly collectively let out an exclamation, and the next few questions were related to "Shushan", and they waited until Kang Jianfei quickly entered the elevator before turning the topic to Kang Jianfei's new film "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The reporter asked: "Mr. Kang, "The Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman" is menacing, is your "A Chinese Ghost Story" sure to win the box office?" ”

Kang Jianfei replied ambiguously: "I have confidence in my films. ”

The reporter asked: "But "Best Partner" has Xu Guanjie, Mecca, Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin, Zhang Aijia, Hu Huizhong, Cao Dahua, Shi Jian, Guan Dexing and many other stars joining this time. And Wang Guxian, the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story", doesn't seem to have enough weight. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Now she is not enough, and she will have weight after the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”

After saying this domineering sentence, Kang Jianfei had already stepped into the elevator. The reporters tried to chase in for an interview, but were blocked by his bodyguards.

Lin Qingxia, who had been following behind Kang Jianfei, spoke at this time: "Ah Fei, does Macau Satellite TV have your shares?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically.

Although the Portuguese and Macao governments have publicized the shareholding structure of Macau Satellite TV. But even few local people in Macau have returned to pay attention. Not to mention other places. Now that Macau Satellite TV has just become popular in Taiwan and Nanyang, few people really know that Macau Satellite TV has Kang Jianfei's shares.

Lin Qingxia also discovered the Macau Satellite TV program, from the host asking for guests to be all people from Oriental Entertainment Agency, she thought that the real boss of Macau Satellite TV was Kang Jianfei, she smiled: "I just came back from Taiwan, and Macau Satellite TV is now a headache for the Information Bureau and the Police Department." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Political factors aside, with Taiwan's current economic development speed, it is only a matter of time before martial law is lifted. ”

It's really funny to say. Taiwan has now developed into an international factory, accounting for the world's largest output of dozens of goods. Taiwanese with bulging pockets have already traveled all over the world. However, there is still such a strange decree as martial law on the island, and according to the regulations, ordinary people are not allowed to listen to or watch foreign radio and television, otherwise they can be regarded as bandits and spies who collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

The audience of Macau Satellite TV in Taiwan has spread, and countless "bandit spies" have been created in just a few days.

Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia went upstairs smoothly, but at this moment, Xu Ke, Li Saifeng, He Jiajin and others downstairs were unable to move an inch, as the main creators of the movie, they are the real protagonists today.

……

"The cumulative global box office of "Shushan" is 96.75 million US dollars, surpassing the 85 million US dollar box office of Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River", becoming the No. 1 Chinese film at the box office!"

After obtaining specific box office data, "Oriental Daily" made a front-page headline the next day, and at the same time hyped up the popularity of "Shushan" in Japan in the main text.

In fact, seriously speaking, although the box office of "Shu Mountain" is higher than Bruce Lee's "Raptors Crossing the River", counting the monetary inflation for more than ten years - during this period, Hong Kong's movie ticket prices have increased by 6 times, and the number of moviegoers of "Shu Mountain" is far less than that of "Raptors Crossing the River".

But when it comes to journalism, you don't have to worry about it, and readers don't think about it too much. After receiving an advertising fee from DreamWorks, "Oriental Daily" began to use the news of the hot sale of "Shushan" to hype Kang Jianfei's new film "A Chinese Ghost Story", claiming that the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were created by the original team of "Shushan", and it was the sister chapter of "Shushan" directed by Kang Jianfei himself.

The sister chapter of "Shushan", there are really many fans who have not read "Liao Zhai" who believe that they have booked the movie ticket for "A Chinese Ghost Story" and are waiting for the movie to be released.

"The sister chapter of "Shushan"," Lei Juekun threw the newspaper on the coffee table and said with a smile, "DreamWorks has done everything to promote the new film." ”

Mecca patted his chest and said: "Mr. Lei, you can rest assured this time, we have worked hard to make "The Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", and it is no surprise that the box office can reach 30 million." ”

"You guys, put more effort into making movies." Lei Juekun was a little tired after saying a few words, and his physical condition has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.

The deeds of Mecca stock speculation and Shi Tian's house speculation have long been spread in the circle, and the two parties are not ashamed but proud, because the two of them did make a lot of money by speculating in stocks and real estate. If it weren't for the serious loss of Xinyicheng last year, Mecca and Shi Tian probably didn't have the heart to make movies in person, anyway, there are a lot of directors signed by Xinyicheng now, let the following go and toss casually, and they can grasp the general direction as the boss.

Two of the "Best Partners" series have grossed more than 30 million, so Mecca has great confidence in the box office of this one.

There are also four movies released at the same time during this year's Spring Festival, in addition to "The Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are also "Eight Joys Coming to the Door" of Debao Film Company and "Youth Poor House" of Golden Harvest Pictures.

It is worth mentioning that the heroes and heroines of "Youth Bad House" are Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian, both of whom are popular actors on TVB, but now they are allowed to participate in Golden Harvest's film shooting.

Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian are the lucky ones, the most popular in TVB are the Five Tiger Generals and the Nine Dragon Girls, and at present, Liu Dehua and Lan Jieying among the Nine Dragon Girls are in a state of being banned and hidden.

The reason why Liu Dehua was hidden by TVB was because he was too righteous, he had an unpleasant quarrel with TVB because he complained that five years was too long, and he planned that the Five Tigers would collectively change jobs. As a result, Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest were only willing to sign him and Liang Chaowei, and were not interested in the other three, but Liu Dehua insisted on signing the five together.

As a result, TVB discovered this matter and first got through Liang Chaowei's work. After Liang Chaowei gave up changing jobs, Miao Qiaowei and the other three also obediently stayed in TVB, and Liu Dehua was still insisting on it, but he was hidden for more than a year.

As for Lan Jieying being hidden in the snow, she asked for herself, this beauty has the title of "beautiful Wutai Mountain", "Wutai Mountain" once concentrated more than half of Hong Kong's female stars, you can imagine Lan Jieying's beauty.

Lan Jieying has been praised by TVB from the beginning, she feels that the five-year contract is too long, and she has to change the two-year contract - changing the contract is something that Liu Dehua has not done. didn't wait for Lan Jieying to be popular for long, she was hidden because she was unwilling to cut her hair short during the filming of "Greater Hong Kong", and it was reactivated a few months later, but it didn't take long for her to have an unpleasant quarrel with the director and producer, and after the worst, the producer found an excuse to be late for filming and continued to ban it.

……

Tomorrow is the official Spring Festival holiday, and several major companies have set the movie release time for Friday afternoon.

In terms of the lunar calendar, today is the last day of this year's work, many people are "crazy" after work, or go home early to sleep, or sing karaoke with friends, and many people choose to go to the cinema with their girlfriends or family.

Kowloon, Kwun Tong Cinema, there was a long queue to buy tickets before 7 p.m.

A man finally got to the front and said, "Come to two shows of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I want the front seat in the middle." ”

"It's only the front row at 7:20, do you want the one at 8:30?" The ticket seller asked.

"It's half past eight." The man thought for a moment and said.

"One is 23, two are 46 yuan." The ticket seller said.

The man was taken aback: "23 yuan a piece?" How can it be so expensive! ”

The ticket seller explained: "The ticket price of the movie has been rising for several days, and the ticket you buy is a good location for the prime time of the prime time, it is certain that it is more expensive, and it will be cheaper during the day." ”

When Kang Jianfei first crossed over, the average ticket price of Hong Kong movies was less than 7 yuan, and it has nearly tripled in a few years.

The man didn't care about it anymore, paid for two movie tickets, and suddenly said to his girlfriend after leaving: "The horse boy who bought the ticket is so familiar." ”

His girlfriend also looked back and immediately exclaimed, "Is that the ticket seller Liu Dehua?" ”

In the next few days, the headlines of the entertainment section of Hong Kong newspapers were not that "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Best Partner" were hot at the box office, but that after the popular star Liu Dehua was banned by TVB, he actually went to the cinema to be a ticket seller.
