Sammo Hung has been very irritable recently, and this irritability comes from the failure of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts".
In fact, it is not a failure. The Hong Kong box office of nearly 4 million yuan can already rank among the top few in the box office list, and the Shanghai box office revenue is enough to make Sammo Hung make a big profit.
But compared with "Mr. Zombie", this result is obviously not enough to watch, and Sammo Hung was completely compared by Kang Jianfei.
Why did Sammo Hung defect to Princess Jin?
It’s not because Jiahe has too many satellite companies, there are several famous companies like Siyuan Pictures, and countless small companies that are not as good as Jiahe.
In addition, Jackie Chan was favored by Jiahe. Although Sammo Hung is also highly valued, he has very few cinema resources available.
The movie where Princess Jin fully supported Kang Jianfei, which led to an unprecedented success in "Happy Ghost".
Sammo Hung felt that his movie was not worse than "Happy Ghost". If Lei Juekun supported him, he would definitely achieve better box office results.
Lei Juekun wanted to acquire a shareholder in Oriental Dream Factory several times but failed, so he had the idea of supporting another company. After choosing and choosing, he found Sammo Hung who owns the Hong family.
Both of them have the intention to cooperate, so they naturally hit it off.Jinbao Film Company was established by Lei Juekun, with Lei Juekun accounting for 51% of the shares and Sammo Hung accounting for the remaining 49% of the shares.
The number of theaters in Princess Golden Cinemas is only one less than that in Jiahe Cinemas, but the source of films is far smaller than that in Jiahe.
Sammo Hung, who received support from Princess Jin, was ready to shoot a box office drama and squeeze Kang Jianfei out of him. From now on, he will be a big director promoted by Princess Jin. All his scenes will be given priority in the theater.
Unfortunately, reality is cruel!
It’s not that Sammo Hung’s ability is not enough to perform his erratic performance, but that Kang Jianfei is so outrageous that he made a movie called “Mr. Zombie” with a box office of over 20 million, which made all the directors and bosses in the Hong Kong film industry dumbfounded.
A "Happy Ghost" made Kang Jianfei famous, and a "Mr. Zombie" laid the foundation for Kang Jianfei's super director.
In just over half a year, with just two movies, this mainlander made the Hong Kong film industry turbulent.
Sammo Hung loosened his bow tie and spit out the air and pushed the door and got out of the car.
He came to attend Kang Jianfei's celebration banquet today. After all, they were all companies supported by Princess Jin, and no one broke up. Sammo Hung naturally wanted to give Kang Jianfei face to attend the banquet.
Several main members of the Hong family class got off the car with Sammo Hung. After a few steps into the hotel, Yuan Biao touched Sammo Hung's arm and reached out to point in the distance.
Sammo Hung looked closely and saw that there was a group of reporters blocking the elevator entrance. Who was not Lin Zhengying who was surrounded in the middle?
Lin Zhengying, who has always been serious, had a soft smile on her face at this time, and she was obviously extremely proud.
Sammo Hung didn't want to join in the fun, but those reporters found them in advance. Several of them came to interview: Director Hong, your box office of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" has exceeded 3 million. Are you confident that you can break through the 4 million mark?
Sammo Hung smiled at the reporter: It depends on what the audience means. If he could have a box office of 4 million, I would definitely be happier.
Another reporter asked: I heard that "Ghost Fights" follows "Mr. Zombie", why are the box office differences between the two movies so big?
Sammo Hung's face changed slightly. The reporter was just here to make trouble. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said: I also want to know this question. I will be planning to ask Mr. Kang for his secret to success later.
Sammo Hung said as he walked, squeezing into the elevator with Lin Zhengying and others.
The elevator door was not closed yet, so a reporter outside shouted: Ng Mengda is here!
The reporters in front of the elevator dispersed instantly and went to interview Wu Mengda, and Sammo Hung breathed a sigh of relief.
News about celebrity cheating, scandals, marriage breakdowns, etc. is popular. If it weren't for big stars, everyone would have been accustomed to it.
But Wu Mengda is different. This guy was a big TV star last year. This year he was revealed that he owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. His wife even took his daughter to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetables to satisfy his hunger.
This is a big news Ah. It was reported some time ago in vague detail, but it has been re-exploited recently, even more popular than the reports two months ago.
Having said that, the media's attention to Ng Man-tat is so high, thanks to Kang Jianfei.
He knew the ugliness of human nature, such as the details of picking up rotten vegetables and leaves to satisfy hunger, which was added by Kang Jianfei and Yunbo. The report really caused a big sensation.
A group of reporters surrounded Ng Mengda layer by layer, but the reporters did not have the respectful tone of interviewing Sammo Hung. One of them asked directly: Ng Mengda, is it true that your wife takes her daughter to pick up vegetables and eat them?
Fake is made up of newspapers.Ng Mengda has been under great pressure recently by public opinion, even more pressure than when he went bankrupt.
Another reporter asked: Mr. Wu, how much money do you owe?
Wu Mengda bowed to the reporters with his fists and said: Good luck to everyone, please let me go.I have already vowed not to bet anymore, and I don’t want to mention the past.
The reporters didn't buy it, and someone asked: Ng Mengda, how do you deal with the contract dispute with TVB?
Kang Jianfei had already told Wu Mengda what to say, and at this time he immediately replied: The contract dispute with TVB is completely my fault, and the wireless station just acts according to the rules.But I had no choice but to support my family and eat. The other directors refused to ask me to film. Only Mr. Kang reached out to pull me in due to his previous friendship, so I thanked him very much.
The reporter asked: Then will you leave TVB and join Oriental Company?
Ng Mengda said: During the period of filming at DreamWorks, I felt very fulfilled.The people in the company are all very good, they don’t look down on me because of the wrong things I did in the past, I like the relationship between colleagues in DreamWorks like family.As for whether I can join DreamWorks, it depends on whether TVB is released. My contract on TV will take more than a year to expire.
The reporters seemed to be more interested in the debts of Wu Mengda, and someone immediately turned the topic back and asked: How long do you think it will take you to pay off your debts?
Wu Mengda was exposed again and again, and he had the urge to get along with others, but now he could only pretend to be a grandson and lowered his head and said: I know it is difficult to pay off the debt, but I will do my best to do it.I believe that as long as people are willing to work hard, miracles will surely happen.Just like Mr. Kang, he was an extra last year and is now a young rich man with a net worth of more than 20 million yuan.I admire Mr. Kang very much, so I want to learn from him.
Wu Mengda's words were all touched by Kang Jianfei, with the intention of pulling the topic away from him. These reporters were indeed deceived. Someone asked: How did you and Mr. Kang Jianfei meet before?
Ng Mengda recalled: Mr. Kang and I met while filming "Chu Liuxiang", and he was an extra at the time.You probably don’t know that the scenes of Chu Liuxiang fighting Ding Tiegan and the scenes of Su Rongrong’s death in Chu Liuxiang’s arms were all performed by Mr. Kang, and I also acted opposite him.
This is the first time I heard about this, and the reporters immediately became interested and asked about the specific situation.
Ng Mengda said: At that time, Qiu Guan was sick and could not film, but "Chu Liuxiang" was about to be broadcast.Just when everyone was at a loss, Mr. Kang, who was still an extra, proposed to use a stunt actor instead and personally served as Qiu Guan's stunt.Therefore, talented people can be displayed everywhere, and Mr. Kang has been constantly showing his talent since then.Director Wang Tianlin cherishes talents and after filming "Chu Liuxiang", he promised to promote Mr. Kang as a popular TVB actor and film a movie specifically for him.At that time, Mr. Kang was just an extra actor who had just swam from the mainland. Director Wang Tianlin's words were to let him reach the top in one step.If it weren't for you, who wouldn't agree to this matter?But Mr. Kang had a lofty ambition and refused on the spot, saying that he wanted to open a company and become a big director!
Wu Mengda's storytelling skills were good, and the reporters were stunned and forgot about his debts.
Is what Ng Mengda said true?
Of course, it is half true and half false. At least Wu Mengda looked down on Kang Jianfei, a mainland boy, at that time, but this did not affect his current flattery in front of many reporters.
At that time, everyone on the set said that Mr. Kang was too stupid and too ignorant of praise, but how could he know the ambition of a swan? They didn't understand Mr. Kang's ambition.
Wu Mengda walked into the elevator while talking, and the reporters also squeezed in, and finally made the elevator overweight and could not leave. He closed the door after two of them. Mr. Kang was not only talented, but also a kind and kind person.At that time, the entire crew refused to lend me money, only Mr. Kang was willing to help me and gave me all the 2,000 yuan he sold songs. I will never forget this in my life...
Under Wu Mengda's statement, the image of Kang Jianfei, who is loyal, talented and ambitious, emerged vividly and appeared in the minds of reporters.
As the saying goes, the righteousness of the sky is weak and the sword is flying, and Ng Mengda never lie!
The elevator door opened, and reporters surrounded Wu Mengda and went out. One reporter said: If you are so familiar with Mr. Kang, you must know whether he has a girlfriend.
I don't know this.How dare Wu Mengda talk nonsense on this topic?Now he is a rat crossing the street and everyone is beating him. Only Kang Jianfei is willing to use him, so he must not offend Kang Jianfei.
Suddenly, a reporter suddenly asked: I heard that Kang Jianfei kept the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Chung last year, and spent 1 million to buy her contract. Is this true?
Ng Mengda hurriedly said: It is absolutely impossible. Ah Hong is a girl with self-discipline, and Mr. Kang is not that kind of person.
The reporter asked: Then why did Mr. Kang spend 1 million to buy Chung Chuhong’s artist contract?
I think I can answer this question!
Before Wu Mengda opened his mouth, the door of an elevator next to him had been opened.
Kang Jianfei walked in the middle, holding Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi's two girls left and right, while Wen Bixia and Li Saifeng followed behind, coming out of the elevator like stars arching the moon.
In fact, it is not a failure. The Hong Kong box office of nearly 4 million yuan can already rank among the top few in the box office list, and the Shanghai box office revenue is enough to make Sammo Hung make a big profit.
