Chapter 281 The true nature of a hero

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Since Kang Jianfei joined Feng Huáng TV, the ratings of the TV station have only rebounded slightly, but they are far from TVB.

Since the two TV series "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" and "The Legend of Qin" are quite popular, not many people in the outside world question whether Kang Jianfei is capable of doing a good job in the TV station, but there are many people waiting to see him laugh at him.

Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to replace a new show immediately.

All plans have been formulated and need to be implemented step by step. The first step to make Feng Huáng TV's ratings soar is to create two classic signature TV series.

Then, taking advantage of the huge increase in ratings, we have successively reformed other programs.

To be honest, Kang Jianfei has the golden finger of a time traveler, making money by making a few more movies than doing a TV station.

But he still deliberately paid for the TV station and even spent valuable time personally producing the TV series.

Oriental Dream Factory, Feng Huáng TV Station and Fengxing Records will form a complementary iron triangle in the future.

In addition to helping Oriental Dream Factory and Fengxing Records, Feng Huáng TV Station is also a talent training base. The actors and behind-the-scenes personnel of the TV Station and Dream Factory can communicate with each other.

And what about Fengxing Records?Fengxing Records and DreamWorks' film and television works must have various music content. Fengxing Records can help Fengxing and DreamWorks produce music, and can also help them publish and sell records.

As for Oriental DreamWorks, it can exist as a money-making and star-making machine. Fenghuáng TV and Fengxing Records have potential stars, DreamWorks can all bring them to another level by making movies.

After the construction of this iron triangle is completed, Kang Jianfei's film and television empire in Hong Kong is only a part of the movie theater chain.

Regarding the movie theater line, Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry, and he can't come even if he is anxious.When Hong Kong films prosper to a stage, it is very simple to do theaters, but it is hard to say whether theaters can make profits.

At least now, Shaw Brothers Cinemas is operating at a loss almost every month, and has lost at least 50 million in the past two years.If it weren't for the strong family of Daheng Shao, he would have been unable to hold on if he had been the other person.

Kang Jianfei also thought about investing in a cinema in mainland China. Last time he went to mainland China to film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he asked by the way, and the answer he got disappointed Kang Jianfei.

Cinemas are cultural infrastructure and are not allowed to be controlled by foreign capital at all. No matter how much money they invest, it will be wasted.

If Kang Jianfei had expected it would be impossible for Hong Kong capital to control cinemas in mainland China at least until the CEPA agreement was signed in 2003.

At most, the theaters jointly built together will give you some equity, but even if you invest 10 billion to build a theater chain in the mainland, it is impossible to have a say.

……

As time goes by July, the old British lady is furious and the Cabernet War, which has been fighting Argentina for more than two months, has ended.

Hong Kong is really far away. It should be said that it has little to do with Hong Kong people, but the facts are exactly the opposite.

After winning the Continental Island War, Britain began to make negotiations with China on the Hong Kong issue with the power of victory.

I heard that the old British lady has a big appetite this time and plans to continue to rule Hong Kong, and is also preparing to visit China in the near future on this issue.

Hong Kong newspapers began to make various predictions. Some said that the Beijing authorities would surrender to the UK this time, and some said that the People's Liberation Army would take back Hong Kong by force after the negotiations broke down. Anyway, rumors spread everywhere for a while, making people feel unconfident.

Kang Jianfei already knew the result, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He started to make the final publicity with the creative team of "The True Heroes".

At the same time, Jiahe's "Plan A" also increased its publicity offensive, and movie advertisements were published in major newspapers.

In parallel space, "Plan A" was an idea that Jackie Chan had only after he starred in "The Story of the Story of the Five Blessings", but now it was filmed earlier than "The Story of the Story of the Story of the Story of the Story".

In addition to Jackie Chan's "Plan A", this year's Jiahe summer schedule also arranged Sammo Hung's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River".

As for "Dragon Ninja" directed by Won Kyu, it was released in June and won millions of box offices.

Shaw Brothers Theater has three movies planned to be released in July, two of which are works by Liu Jiaban.

However, compared with the promotional momentum of "The True Heroes" and "Plan A", Shaw's movies are much calmer. They usually advertise in newspapers and then post posters at the entrance of the cinema, as if they were willing to take the bait.

"Plan A" was released a few days before "The True Heroes" and won a super high box office of 8.56 million in the first week, which made the media exclaim that the real Jackie Chan is back.

I heard that when Zou Wenhuai got the box office data, he danced happily, and repeatedly praised Long as his blessing.

On July 8, just the sixth day after the release of "Plan A", "The True Colors of Heroes" also held its premiere as scheduled.

At this time, the box office dark horse of "Beautiful Girls" has only been lost for two days. In addition, Kang Jianfei took over Feng Huáng TV Station, the media's attention to "The True Color of Heroes" has reached a new level.

Kang Jianfei and Jackie Chan have competed with each other several times before. Except for the box office of "The Dragon Master" that was several hundred yuan higher than "The Dao Ma Dan", it seems that Jackie Chan lost every time.

This time, will Jackie Chan fight a beautiful turnaround, or will he continue to be suppressed by Kang Jianfei?

On the day of the premiere, various film critics entered the premiere theater one after another, wanting to have a sneak peek and predict the box office of "The True Heroes".

Shu Qi almost broke her leg because of contacting the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, but unfortunately she was disappointed.

Similarly, it also made him realize the reality that Hong Kong movies are still extremely immature and forming professional groups in the near future is not of great significance.

After giving up the idea of ​​forming an entertainers association, Shu Qi put her energy back to "Movie Biweekly" and next year's Academy Awards.

First, ask someone to design trophy, then plan and set up various awards, and select famous foreign filmmakers to be invited next year.

Now the trophy for the Golden Star Awards is still being designed. After receiving the invitation to Kang Jianfei’s new film premiere, Shu Qi also took the opportunity to come out to watch the film and get some breath.

John Woo sat not far from Shu Qi. After he failed in two consecutive movies, no one was willing to ask him to make a movie.

John Woo's good friend Tsui Hark is doing well in the New Art City. Last week, he invited John Woo to join the New Art City and was preparing to let him make a new film.

John Woo, who has suffered consecutive setbacks, now lacks self-confidence, and even he himself doubts whether his next movie can make money.

Kang Jianfei is now the most popular director in Hong Kong. John Wu is specifically looking at "The True Color of Heroes" to learn from the scriptures.

After the show interaction on the stage, the movie officially began to be screened.

Chow Yun-fat, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, appeared on the screen, started eating street stall snacks, chased the vendor to pay, and then got into Brother Hao's car and entered the company.

When they saw the company's employees greeting Brother Hao and Brother Xiao Ma, all the audience, including John Woo, Shu Qi, Yishu and others, thought Chow Yun-fat played a company executive.

However, a scene that quickly shocked the audience appeared. A 100 dollar bill appeared on the computer monitor. An expert in a white jacket operated the mouse and began to manually modify the number of the dollar bill.

Then the full version of the US dollar bill was adjusted, and the hulala machine started to run, and stacks of US dollar bills were printed.

Damn, these are printed with counterfeit money!

Brother Ma is so handsome when lighting a cigarette with US dollars.

High-tech Ah, in the past, the counterfeit money printing required electric boards, and this was fully automatic by the computer.

……

The starring actor was set as a counterfeit money dealer surprised John Woo, who initially thought it was a gangster film like "The Godfather".

It was not until Leslie Cheung, who was taking the police academy, that John Woo felt that it was not that simple, and the subsequent plot must be more complicated.

Then the scene where Leslie Cheung accompanied Rosamund Kwan to take the violin test made the audience laugh. The laughter didn't take long, and Brother Hao, played by Chen Huimin, was arrested in Taiwan.

Brother Ma appeared on the overpass in Ximending, reading the newspaper with a toothpick in his arms. The headlines of the newspaper were the news that Brother Hao was arrested.

It is my life to step into the world.

Not willing to be a bad guy.

Being a brother is outdated.

I wear gold and silver (everyday).

Sometimes I'll be tight on my hands.

Swedish brothers, Drama Ting (helping through difficulties)

……

With the sound of the Taiwanese linguistic song "The Floating Brothers", Chow Yun-fat appeared in the aisle of Fenglin Pavilion Restaurant and was hugged with a restaurant girl and danced with tango.

The two of them had beautiful dance moves, and even had close-ups of Chow Yun-fat's flirting eyes and big hands touching each other.

But under the cover of this beautiful dance, Chow Yun-fat took out a pistol and stuffed it into the bonsai in the aisle, indicating what Xiao Ma wants to do next.

John Wu took a breath. He never expected that the gangster film could still be filmed like this, especially the subsequent series of gun battles, which turned violence into an art.

The other audience members at the scene also held their breath and stared at the big screen with concentration, and did not breathe a sigh of relief until the end of the gun battle.

But at this moment, Brother Ma was crawled out and shot by the opponent, and finally, he dragged a lame leg out after killing the enemy.

Brother Hao returned to Hong Kong after being imprisoned. The brother turned against him and was homeless. Brother Hao, who was determined to reform, became a taxi driver.

When showing the scene of Brother Hao carrying passengers, Kang Jianfei did not use the original soundtrack, but instead replaced the interlude of "I haven't been a Big Brother for many years".

Most people in Hong Kong can still understand Mandarin. Ten years ago, the most popular songs and movies in Hong Kong were all in Mandarin, so Kang Jianfei was too lazy to change the lyrics in Cantonese.

This song appears twice in the film, and another time when Leslie Cheung pressed his brother to the wall to search his body. When asked when there was a transaction, Brother Hao said helplessly: As SIR, I have not been a big brother for a long time!

At this moment, the singing of my eldest brother for many years has sounded again, adding a bit of sorrow to the movie.

Brother Ma's down and Acheng's betrayal aroused strong reaction from the audience, and the audience was so excited that they were so excited that they watched it.

Bang!

At this moment, Brother Ma suddenly got shot in the head and fell slowly.

The cinema, which was still very lively just now, suddenly became quiet. The audience was stunned by the sudden death, followed by the tide of dissatisfaction and curses.

Are you mistaken, Brother Ma died like this?

It was too worthwhile to die. The gun battle was not dead, but he actually died under the cold gun.

Is the screenwriter pretending to be feces in his mind?Where can I kill the protagonist like this!

The director's skin shovels!

……

Listening to the venting of the audience around him, Wu had to admit the success of director Kang Jianfei. A movie can only enjoy such strong abuse from the audience after it strongly attracts the audience.

The movie continued. After the audience scolded a few times, they soon continued to watch the movie obediently.

When the audience saw Ah Cheng go out to surrender with great might, they were afraid that the director would do anything again, and some people couldn't help but shout: Kill him Ah!

Kill this rebellious boy!

There are no bullets, kill him with your fist!

……

Leslie Cheung walked out of the container and stuffed the pistol he picked into Brother Hao's hand.

After two gunshots, watching A Cheng fall down when he was shot, the nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they applauded and cheered.

The movie has been screened, but the audience's applause is endless. Although the death of Brother Ma has made many viewers feel uneasy, the whole movie is still very satisfying.

Wu John walked out of the cinema in silence, recalling and pondering the details of the movie in his heart, and admiring Kang Jianfei more and more.

He found that this movie "The True Color of Heroes" is very consistent with his taste, and some of the things expressed in the movie coincide with his ideas, and he feels like he meets a soulmate.

The film reviews in the newspaper the next day, in addition to complaining that Kang Jianfei killed Brother Ma, he almost fell to the ground and praised "The True Color of Heroes".

Shu Qi wrote in "Movie Biweekly": After the release of "The True Color of Heroes", it may set off a future gangster film trend like "Mr. Zombie" is like zombie films.

Yishu's film review column says: A man like Brother Hao is worthy of possession, but Brother Xiao Ma can only see from a distance for women.They are all heroes in a sense, with heroic qualities and true qualities... In fact, I appreciate the most in this film not the hot gunfight, but the interlude sang by children in the church.I called Director Kang afterwards and he said that the song is called "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

"The True Heroes" has a very high reputation among film critics, and just a week ago, the media also praised Jackie Chan's "Plan A".

The same excellent films are one of the comedy police and gangster films and the other of the gangster hero films, but they are destined to compete in this summer vacation.

The media and industry filmmakers are all watching the first box office of "The True Heroes" released, and "The True Heroes" on Feng Huáng TV has officially started filming two days before the release of "The True Heroes".
