Chapter 295 There is joy and sorrow

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
On August 18, 1982, more than a month has passed since "The True Heroes", and "Plan A", which was released earlier, has already been lost, but "The True Heroes" still has many viewers.

This is a miracle in Hong Kong where movies can only be released for one week.

Most of the audience who have also entered the cinema to watch "The True Color of Heroes" have been watched repeatedly after watching it.

This situation makes other directors very uncomfortable, because the audience would rather choose to watch "The True Color of Heroes" repeatedly than watch them. They can only say that they have to throw away the goods.

After gradually reducing the number of releases, "The Legend of Heroes" still occupies ten canvases in the Golden Princess Cinema. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid "The Legend of Heroes" will last until September.

Although "The True Color of Heroes" has not yet been lost, the canvases that are vacated after the number of releases are enough for "Best Partner 2".

Just a few days before Mai Jia's "Best Partner 2" was released, the ratings dispute between Feng Huáng TV and TVB also came to an end.

The 30-episode film "The Love of the Mountains" was originally planned to film, but the finale was in advance after only 24 episodes. The one that came with a "Little Hero of Flower Boats".

Everyone knows that "The Little Hero of Flower Boat" is just a transitional drama, and it will end at most episodes, and then TVB will immediately start a big drama.

Originally, Fang Yihua's idea was that after the end of "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains", he immediately appeared on Jin Yong's martial arts drama, but in the end he had to change his plan.

There are only three people who are good at producing martial arts dramas on Wireless Channel, one is Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin, the other is Li Tiansheng, who came from the wireless training class, and the last is Xiao Sheng, who jumped from Lishi at the beginning of the year.

Xiao Sheng just produced the 70-episode long drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the first half of the year. Although the ratings are good, Rishi was in civil strife at that time. Without much external competition, the results of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did not actually satisfy Fang Yihua enough.

As for Li Tiansheng, although he had shown his talent in producing martial arts dramas at this time, he had only produced Gu Long dramas before, and he had never even encountered Jin Yong dramas. I wonder if he could be competent.

The best producer is naturally Wang Tianlin, but Wang Tianlin just finished producing "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains", so he couldn't continue to produce Jin Yong's drama immediately.

In the end, I can only choose a way to make a difference, and a transitional drama "The Little Hero of Flower Boat" is used as a transitional drama, and a few days have been spared for Wang Tianlin to prepare.

Although this movie "The Little Hero of Flower Boat" is just a small drama, its cast is pretty good. The starring actors are Andy Lau, Guan Lijie, who just emerged, and the jade star Zhuang Jinger who jumped from Lishi to TVB not long ago.

After Wang Tianlin finished producing "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains", he immediately devoted himself to the preparations for the next Jin Yong drama.

"The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been filmed in the past two years. Without much consideration, Wang Tianlin chose "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and then started casting.

Wang Tianlin is busy casting, but the early finale of "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains" has attracted many dissatisfaction from the audience.

Because of this family era drama, there are many clues to the characters, and in the hurried ending, people always feel that something is missing.

TVB naturally won't admit that it was the ending of "The Senior Sister Tuo Gun" before the ratings ended early, but some media were not polite and even bluntly said that Feng Huáng's victory in this battle.

The Sing Tao Daily even published a commentary article with such high praise: In the Hong Kong film and television industry this summer, Kang Jianfei is undoubtedly the biggest winner. "The True Color of Heroes" won the box office of "Plan A", and "The Senior Sister Tuo Gun" has a steady ratings. "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains".With the strength of film companies and TV stations moving forward together, Kang Jianfei has shown the attitude of a new generation of film and television tycoons...

……

Humph, a new generation of film and television tycoons!

Lei Juekun threw the newspaper aside and asked Li Maowen, who had just entered the office: How about the new film "Happy Campus" in DreamWorks?

It is the same type as the "Happy Ghost" series, but it has no ghosts and special abilities. It is a pure campus comedy. Li Maowen smiled and said, "I only gave "Happy Campus" five screens. The people from their marketing department are still arguing with Princess Jin."

Lei Juekun asked: Are there any signs of Kang Jianfei surrendering?

Li Maowen shook his head and said: Not yet.But they can't hold on for long. A movie that can exceed 10 million yuan in box office can only sell for two or three million yuan now. Sooner or later, he will take the initiative to discuss it with Mr. Lei.

Lei Juekun nodded with a smile. He actually didn't think about swallowing Oriental Dream Factory, but just wanted to eat 30% of Dream Factory's shares.

With the rapid development of Princess Jin Cinema and New Art City, Lei Juekun's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He wants to be a cinema tycoon like Run Run Shaw, not just the boss of a theater company.

I want to be a cinema tycoon, but the most profitable film company in its theater chains does not have his share. This is simply a joke!

Although Zou Wenhuai is generous, Jiahe Pictures has always been the core of Zhongsatellite Company. If Jiahe Cinema has a production company like Oriental Dream Factory, Zou Wenhuai will not be able to do so.

It is very rare that Lei Juekun can tolerate it until now that he has started to attack DreamWorks.

Lei Juekun suddenly remembered something and asked Li Maowen: By the way, I heard that Maqiao from DreamWorks is contacting retail cinemas. Does this slacking boy want to set up his own theater company?

Li Maowen smiled disdainfully and said: What can those retail cinemas do?Mr. Lei was overly worried.

The location of the cinema is very important. A large cinema in a bustling area has even more than five or six remote small cinemas.

The location and facilities of those retail cinemas are not very good. It is okay to make some money by screening in these cinemas, but if you want a box office of over 10 million or 20 million, it is almost a fantasy.

Although this is the reason, Lei Juekun still had no idea because he really couldn't figure out Kang Jianfei.

Lei Juekun murmured to himself: Kang Jianfei is born with a rebellious son, so he may not surrender so easily.

Li Maowen smiled and said: Now Kang Jianfei and Run Run Shaw are in the same position. If he refuses to cooperate with you, Mr. Lei, he can only find Zou Wenhuai or left-wing theaters to cooperate.

Lei Juekun smiled and suddenly asked: Do you think Kang Jianfei will really cooperate with Shuangnan Cinema?

Li Maowen said with a serious expression: It’s not sure, if he is willing to give up the Taiwan market, cooperating with left-wing theaters is the best choice.However, this is equivalent to having a condom tied to one's neck. Left-style theaters are too strict in selecting films, and even slightly excessive bloody violence and erotic shots cannot be released, which will only make the path of DreamWorks movies narrower and narrower.

……

Ma Qiao strode into Kang Jianfei's office, closed the door and said: Princess Jin only plans to give "Happy Campus" five canvases, and the four leading theaters under Princess Jin have only arranged for a screening of "Happy Campus".

Kang Jianfei asked: How are those retail cinemas contacting each other?

Ma Qiao said: All the theaters we contacted are willing to cooperate with us. Except for the four theaters in Anle Cinema, there are 18 other retail theaters.

The situation Ma Qiao mentioned is actually without any suspense. As the most popular film production company in Hong Kong, DreamWorks takes the initiative to come to cooperate, and those small cinemas will definitely agree.

Ma Qiao continued: The four theaters in Anle Cinema are of good scale and location. When establishing temporary theaters, these four theaters can be used as leading theaters, and other retail theaters are auxiliary theaters.However, preliminary estimates are that the box office of the same movie will be at least 30% lower than that of the movie being released in the Golden Princess Theater.

The box office is 30% lower than that. If we only look at the Hong Kong market, it is indeed better to divide some company shares to Lei Juekun.

Kymphoman factory also has a broad overseas market. Only when Kang Jianfei gets his brain, Lei Juekun will join the company to grab money.

After saying the bad news, Ma Qiao immediately reported another good news: Since the first "Sister Royal" achieved a good box office in the United States, 20th Century Fox hopes to release "Sister Royal Royal 2" on behalf of the agency, and it will be screened this year during Christmas.

Oh, this is great news.Kang Jianfei couldn't help but show joy on his face.

The first "Sister Royal" has a total box office of 40 million in the United States, relying on the female protagonist, the vivid and beautiful fighting scenes, and the hot speed and explosion scenes.

The second part of "The Royal Sister" is likely to be greatly reduced in terms of freshness and will not bring as strong impact to American audiences as last time. However, with the title of the first part, "The Royal Sister 2" should not be too miserable in the United States.

Kang Jianfei is very self-aware. As long as "Sister Royal 2" can sell for $20 million in the United States, he will be content.

Over the past year, Oriental DreamWorks has often contacted 20th Century Fox for agency releases, but 20th Century Fox is not optimistic about the films such as Kang Jianfei's "The Dao Ma Dan" and has always refused to release it on behalf of others.

With the help of soft and hard work, 20th Century Fox finally agreed to help release "Mr. Zombie 1" a few months ago, but the box office in the United States was only more than 1.6 million US dollars, which was the result of many Chinese support.

According to the prior agreement, part of the promotional expenses of this movie in the United States will be paid by DreamWorks. After deducting the promotional expenses, DreamWorks only received 57,000 US dollars...

After talking about the main business, Ma Qiao was about to leave when he suddenly said: By the way, boss, there is a videotape company in the United States that he is interested in "Mr. Zombie 1" and wants to spend 10,000 US dollars to buy out the copyright of "Mr. Zombie 1".

Joke, I want to buy out the copyright of "Mr. Zombie"'s American videotape for $10,000?

Kang Jianfei would rather not make this ten thousand yuan than sell it, and said: Keep talking to him, the videotape sales can be shared, and buyouts are free.
