When Kang Jianfei took the crew to Italy, the British Hong Kong government finally implemented compulsory measures in the face of the crazy depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar: to allow the Hong Kong dollar to implement a linkage exchange rate between the US dollar, and to exchange 1 US dollar for 78 Hong Kong dollars.
Just over twenty days ago, Kang Jianfei's exchange rate when he bought the Hong Kong dollar was between 93 and 96. Now the linkage exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is 78, which directly made Kang Jianfei earn more than 158 million Hong Kong dollars.
When Kang Jianfei heard this news in Italy, he was so happy that he started the filming of "Deadly Express" with a happy mood.
At the same time, "God of Gamblers" has been released in Taiwan and Japan, continuing the trend of this movie sweeping the box office in Asia.
DreamWorks' partner in Taiwan is mainly Longxiáng Pictures, which inherits the distribution channel of Princess Jin in the past.
After Princess Jin contacted Nanyang Cathay Cinema, Cathay Pacific joined Taiwan and initially established a joint distribution network of Hong Kong (King Princess Chen), Taiwan (China Theater), and Nanyang (Cathay Cinema).
After breaking up with Princess Jin, DreamWorks completely bypassed Princess Jin and directly cooperated with Longxiáng Pictures and Cathay Pictures.
In other words, New Art City and DreamWorks are actually using the same two distribution channels in Taiwan and Nanyang, and have a fierce competitive relationship with each other.
There are countless film dealers and theaters in Taiwan, but most of them are concentrated in Taipei, and the competition between them is also very strong.
Just recently, one of the eight major film manufacturers in Taiwan in the future, the newly emerging Taiwanese scholar film distribution company came to the door, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with Princess Jin.
The Scholar Company is a new company that was established a few years ago. The first pot of gold was to buy Xu Anhua's "Crashing the King", which sold it in Taiwan and made its mark.
In the past two years, other shareholders have withdrawn one after another. The Scholar Company has been fully mastered by the major shareholder Cai Songlin, and its development pace is extremely rapid.
The reason why scholars failed to cooperate with DreamWorks was that they were not qualified at all. After all, the new company has limited screening rights in Taiwan.
However, now the Scholar Company has obtained the filming rights of Taiwan’s Golden Horse and Big World theaters, so naturally I hope to release DreamWorks films, because DreamWorks films have sold the best in Taiwan in recent years.
So Kang Jianfei made a decision and asked DreamWorks distribution department to do something shameless: one thing sells two owners.
The scholar's distribution network can greatly make up for the shortcomings of Longxiáng Pictures. If the two distribution companies agree on plans and release them at the same time, it will greatly tap the box office potential of the released film.
Why did the previous "The Wrong Car" be released in Taiwan for several months?
It is because the distribution network is not sound, and other theaters have been watching this movie in the next three months, and then they have purchased the second, third, and even four-wheeled screening rights and then scheduled the film.
DreamWorks' behavior of selling two owners made scholars and Longxie very unhappy, but they had to sit down and work together.
Because in the eyes of Hong Kong filmmakers, companies like DreamWorks that can produce high-box movies continuously are already grandfather-level existences and can't afford to offend them at all.
Therefore, the release of "God of Gamblers" in Taiwan reached its peak in the first round of theaters, and it was selected to premiere in Taiwan on the Double Tenth National Day.
Due to the full promotion and distribution work, the box office of "God of Gamblers" in Taiwan reached NT$4.37 million on the first day, which attracted amazement in the Taiwanese film industry, and also set off a whirlwind of Gamblers in Taiwan.
The box office on the first day was NT$4.37 million. Wouldn’t the box office be tens of millions after one or two months of screening?You should know that few movies released in Taiwan in the past few years have exceeded 10 million yuan in box office.
Such a terrifying first-day box office can only explain three things: First, the distribution of "God of Gambling" was done very well; second, the movie "God of Gambling" is very popular among audiences; third, with the leap and development of Taiwan's economy, the Taiwanese film market has flourished rapidly.
Just like the mainland film market in the future, in the first few years after 2000, a movie that could exceed 100 million yuan in box office was blockbusters and magical films. Hollywood film companies did not pay much attention to the mainland's million-dollar box office market.
But after 2010, the box office market in mainland China grew explosively like a volcano eruption. When a movie won a box office of 300 million yuan last year, the media was still amazed. Unexpectedly, several movies with a box office of more than 1 billion yuan appeared in the next two years!
In fact, among the top ten movies in Taiwan last year, eight of them had box office sales below NT$20 million.
As of October this year, five movies have had box offices of more than 30 million, of which "ET Alien" was screened in Taiwan for three consecutive months, with a box office of more than 67 million.
The box office data of "ET" alone is more than the top three movies on the annual box office list of Taiwan last year.
And the most ironic thing is that the first movie in Taiwan that had a box office of over 100 million was actually "The Last Emperor" released after the martial law was lifted.
This is a real-life film in the Forbidden City, and it has not yet passed the political review of the Taiwan Electricity Inspection Office.
With the prosperity of Taiwan's film market, Hong Kong producers will definitely pay more and more attention to the Taiwan market, which makes Kang Jianfei, who is targeted by the Taiwan News Agency, feels quite painful.
After three consecutive months of release and several rounds of screenings, the box office of "God of Gamblers" in Taiwan has accumulated NT$53.87 million, equivalent to more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, second only to "ET Alien".
The box office of "The Five Blessings Stars", which shines in Hong Kong, has less than NT$20 million in Taiwan.
This is not to say that Taiwanese audiences don’t like “Five Fortune Stars” very much. The biggest problem is probably the distribution and promotion.
The promotional cost of "God of Gamblers" in Taiwan is more than three times that of "Five Fortune Stars", and it is a joint cooperation between two major Taiwanese distribution companies.
Before Taiwan's hot sale, the cumulative box office of "Game God" in the Nanyang region had reached more than 62 million Hong Kong dollars, and the cumulative box office of "Game God" had reached nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
In Japan and South Korea, although the box office of "God of Gamblers" is not as good as Jackie Chan's movies, it still achieved remarkable results, accumulating a lot of fans for Chow Yun-fat in the two countries.
In short, the total box office of "God of Gambling" in Asia was as high as 120 million, and countless Hong Kong peers were jealous of them, which also made gambling films popular in the following decade.
In contrast to the situation where the movie box office is very good, this year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards have no share of DreamWorks. All DreamWorks films were shot by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee. As for the reasons for the shooting, they are naturally strange.
Perhaps, this is a warning from the Taiwan News Bureau to Kang Jianfei.
……
In the conference room of Feng Huáng TV Station, Zhong Jinghui smiled and put down the microphone and said to dozens of reporters below: Dear reporters, you can ask questions freely now.
A female reporter took the lead in speaking: Manager Zhong, many viewers are looking forward to the sequel of "Bao Qingtian". Do Feng Huáng Station have any plans for this?
Of course, there will be a sequel, Zhong Jinghui smiled and said, if you watch TV carefully, you should know that the full name of "Bao Qingtian" is "Bao Qingtian's Case of the Chopping of Beauty". DreamWorks will also film other cases one after another.In fact, the film has decided to shoot it as a series since its initial planning.
Another reporter asked: Is the starring team unchanged?
Jin Chaoqun next to Zhong Jinghui responded: I have signed five film contracts for "Bao Qingtian" with DreamWorks, so for at least two or three years, Lord Bao's actors should not be replaced.
The reporter asked bluntly: Mr. Jin Chaoqun is a Taiwanese. I heard that you have been playing a supporting role in Taiwan before, but now you have become a hit in Hong Kong. What do you want to say?
Jin Chaoqun smiled and said: What I want to say is that if I had not accumulated experience in Taiwan for many years of playing supporting roles, I would not have the capital to become a hit in Hong Kong.
This answer was very outstanding, and Zhong Jinghui, Xu Xiaoming and others took the lead in applauding.
Jin Chaoqun added: In addition, I would like to thank Kang Jianfei and Mr. Yu Kanping very much for their keen eyes for discovering me and invited me to Hong Kong to film.I would also like to thank Producer Xu Xiaoming, Manager Zhong Jinghui, and some other colleagues for their serious and professional work, which gave me a lot of help and learned a lot of useful things.
The press conference is still going on, and the reason why Feng Huáng and DreamWorks TV Production Department held a press conference was just because many viewers felt unsatisfied after the finale of "Bao Qingtian" and strongly demanded that the sequel of "Bao Qingtian" be filmed.
Just a few days ago, while "God of Gamblers" was popular in Japan and Taiwan, the first "Bao Qingtian" "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" also ushered in a finale, with the highest ratings that night reaching 694%.
Not only did it kill TVB Andy Lau and Chen Yulian's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" not keep, but it also made the major cinemas missing that night and caused a lot of hardships to film companies.
After the end of "Bao Qingtian", Ming Pao Weekly even used a 6-page page to make a special report on "Bao Qingtian".
Novels like "Bao Gong Case" and "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" in the bookstore were originally placed in the corner and covered with dust, but they have even sold a lot recently.
After the finale of "Bao Qingtian", TVB's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" finally reduced a lot of pressure.
Just when Fang Yihua thought he could work hard, "He From the Jianghu" starring Wan Ziliang, Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat, Mao Shunjun, Tian Niu and others started broadcasting closely, with the ratings of the first episode as high as 42%.
This ratings result is largely due to the success of "Bao Qingtian", which has made many viewers habitually watch Fenghuáng TV.
However, the ratings of "He From the Jianghu" did not decline in the following days, but instead stabilized slightly, which shows that "He From the Jianghu" has been recognized and loved by the audience.
In fact, many performance details are different compared to which version of "He Comes from the Rivers and the Original Time and Space".
Because Kang Jianfei only wrote the script for the first episode, the nonsensical comedy scenes behind were discussed by Stephen Chow, Ng Mengda, Mao Shunjun and Li Li.
I have to say that Kang Jianfei and Feng Huáng Taiwan are both lucky. Hong Kong citizens have just experienced a major depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar and social chaos. Many people are holding their dissatisfaction in their hearts and have nowhere to vent their feelings.
The various crazy and spoof plots in "He Comes from the World" just cater to the minds of Hong Kong citizens who oppose authority and want to vent, and they became popular as quickly as the virus was contagious.
This often happens, that is, the whole family sits in front of the TV and watches the neurotic collective hilarious "He comes from the Jianghu".
Boring plots like Stephen Chow treating a guest in the play and actually treating Mao Shunjun to eat ice cream are actually imitated by young people in Hong Kong.
Hello, pretty girl, I'll treat you to bigfoot ice cream!
This sentence has become the language of the highest appearance rate in recent times.
Wan Ziliang and Tian Niu's acting skills in the play are obvious to all, but the more popular ones are Stephen Chow, Ng Mengda and Mao Shunjun. Their nonsensical spoofs are really impressive.
The term nonsense was officially accepted by Hong Kong media and citizens.
As for the wireless station, I heard that Fang Yihua has been angry several times, and I don’t know how she would find a way to win the game back.
Just over twenty days ago, Kang Jianfei's exchange rate when he bought the Hong Kong dollar was between 93 and 96. Now the linkage exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is 78, which directly made Kang Jianfei earn more than 158 million Hong Kong dollars.
