Compared with Kang Jianfei's previous movies, the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling" seems a bit shabby. Not only are there fewer first-line stars, but there are also fewer media reporters present.
Rightist newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily, Red and Green Daily, Hong Kong Times, Chaoran Daily, and True Daily all regard Kang Jianfei as an enemy. The rightist newspapers printed with the Republic of China on their eyebrows were printed with the right-wing newspapers of the Republic of China. In addition to the business of the Industry and Commerce Daily, the Overseas Chinese Daily sent reporters to attend the premiere of "Gambling Saint".
Although the Overseas Chinese Daily is classified as a rightist newspaper, the newspaper's reports are actually strictly neutral and occasionally report news that is beneficial to the mainland.
However, the color of Sing Tao Daily is so blue that it turns purple. Taiwan is still under martial law at this time. Locals in Taiwan are unable to run newspapers because of the ban on newspapers. However, the Hong Kong newspaper of Sing Tao Daily can be sold to Taiwan.
In fact, the Sing Tao Daily's position is not firm. It has swayed around several times over the past decades. Anyway, it is the one that is beneficial to it.
As the only newspaper in Hong Kong that can be sold into Taiwan, Sing Tao Daily naturally cannot report any news related to Sing Tao Daily after Kang Jianfei was officially banned by the Taiwan authorities, so as not to lose the large market in Taiwan.
However, it doesn’t matter if there are few newspapers missing. The three largest sales newspapers in Hong Kong are now the Oriental Daily, Ming Pao and Cheng Pao.
Among them, Chengbao was the sales champion of Hong Kong newspapers in the early 1970s, and later gradually surpassed by Oriental Daily and Ming Pao, but its sales volume per issue still exceeded 100,000 copies.
Outside the gate of Taiping Theater, reporters from Oriental Daily, Ming Pao and Cheng Pao are among the top, followed by reporters from mass newspapers such as Tiantian Daily, Xinbao, and Express.
These newspapers focus on sales. They do not care whether you are left or right, and news will be reported as long as they can increase sales.
In addition, left-wing newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Wenhui Po naturally sent powerful reporters to interview.
A Xing is here!
He and Mao Shunyun came together, and the two must be dating.
Xingzai, will the ban on DreamWorks have any impact on you?
Da Ge…
Stephen Chow, Mao Shunjun and Wu Mengda have the best relationship, and they also came together to attend the premiere this time.
Among the three, Wu Mengda is the most talkative, so he is basically answering reporters' questions. Stephen Chow and Mao Shunjun both spoke less.
"The Gambler" is the signature of the sequel to "The Gambler" in promotion, so Chow Yun-fat, Anthony Wong and Lee Mi-feng are also important guests tonight.
When many celebrities from Oriental Entertainment arrived one after another, there was a sudden commotion in the reporters' group, but Xu Jiasheng, Liao Yiyuan, Fu Qi, Shi Hui, Xia Meng and others appeared together.
Among them, Xu Jiasheng is the president of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong Branch, Liao Yiyuan is the chairman of Yindu Organization, Fu Qi and Shi Hui are responsible for the production, actors and other work of Yindu Organization, and Xia Meng is the boss of the left-wing film company Qingniao.
Xu Jiasheng and Liao Yiyuan may not know many people, but Fu Qi, Shi Hui and Xia Meng were once very popular stars, and people who are a little older are impressed.
Not only that, Fu Qi and Shi Hui also fought to the death during the WG period, causing huge news that year.
As soon as these people appeared, Kang Jianfei's identity as a red filmmaker was instantly revealed, causing discussion among many reporters.
There are also many left-wing movie stars who come with Fu Qi, Shi Hui, Xia Meng and others.
After Kang Jianfei signed, he lent to Jet Li from Yindu Institution. This time he also made another appearance. He will officially return to DreamWorks next year.
In order to support Kang Jianfei's new film, almost all the first and second-tier stars of Oriental Entertainment Company were present. Although there were many signing artists, they were still star-studded.
Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Rosamund Kwan, Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, Jet Li, Wen Bixia, Li Meifeng, Sally Yeh...
At first glance, they were all familiar faces, and only Zhao Yazhi and Li Saifeng were still staying in the mainland to film without coming.
As for Donnie Yen, who became famous for "Senior Sister Royal 2", terminated his contract with Oriental Entertainment a month ago.
Donnie Yen has been unable to make it to DreamWorks in the past two years, and after being popular for about half a year, he cooled down again because DreamWorks rarely have kung fu films to shoot hard bridges and hard horses, and there is not much room for Donnie Yen to play.
Donnie Yen signed a ten-year contract with Oriental Entertainment. He could not afford the penalty for liquidated damages by himself. The one who paid for him was Qunlong Pictures in Taiwan.
Qunlong Film mainly produces Gu Long martial arts films. Due to the decline of Taiwanese films in recent years, Qunlong Film has turned its attention to Hong Kong, where the film industry is increasingly prosperous.
The boss behind this company is a Taiwanese rich man who is not short of money. After deciding to enter Hong Kong last year, he directly signed Adam Cheng and Shen Dianxia, and then signed Donnie Yen, who is very famous in Taiwan through Yuan Heping.
As for Yuan Heping, he also has a lot of relationship with Donnie Yen. Yuan Heping's own sister is Donnie Yen's mother's apprentice. When it comes to relationships, Donnie Yen is Yuan Heping's junior brother.
Donnie Yen's father is the editor of Sing Tao Daily in Boston. With the close relationship between Sing Tao Daily and the Taiwanese authorities, it is normal for Donnie Yen to leave DreamWorks to sign into a Taiwanese film company.
Taiwan’s Qunlong Film’s entry into Hong Kong is actually a reflection of the prosperity of Hong Kong films, attracting more and more overseas (mainly Nanyang and Taiwan) capital to pour into the Hong Kong film market.
In the next ten years, the Hong Kong film industry will become prosperous and extremely chaotic. Investors in Taiwan and Nanyang will spend money randomly, speculating on the pay of Hong Kong movie stars to an inflated level, even to the point where the male lead’s pay account for one-half of the movie’s cost. The director can only fool the audience by filming for money.
In addition, Hong Kong clubs have also poured in, and disgusting incidents such as copy grabbing and kidnapping of actors have frequently occurred, and the Hong Kong film industry has been completely messed up.
In comparison, the Hong Kong film industry before 1985 was relatively pure, but it was about to enter the era of demons dancing.
After the premiere interaction, Kang Jianfei went to sit between Xu Jiasheng and Liao Yiyuan, and chatted with the two from time to time.
Today, eight women came. Kang Jianfei was brave enough to stay in the middle of a pile of jealous jars. Finally, he deeply realized the truth that rabbits do not eat grass by their nests. It is really unbearable to provoke the actresses in his company. After all, everyone has to appear together often.
After chatting with Xu and Liao for a few words, Kang Jianfei suddenly asked Xia Meng next seat: Why did Ms. Yang’s Blue Bird Company stop production?
Xia Meng smiled and said: I am no longer the boss of Blue Bird Company.
Yeah?Then I am really ignorant.Kang Jianfei was stunned for a moment and said.
Xia Meng sold Bluebird Film Company at the beginning of last year, but the matter was not made public, so that the movie "Like the Years of Water" filmed by Bluebird last year was still based on Xia Meng's brand.
Kang Jianfei shut up and said nothing more. He was just interested in Yan Hao, the director of "Like the Years".
Yan Hao made his debut in the first year of Kang Jian Fei's arrival in Hong Kong. His debut work "Curry Coffee" is considered to be the first Hong Kong New Wave movie in the strict sense. In the future, Yan Hao will win the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy four times.
The film officially begins screening.
At Kowloon Station, Ah Xing, who had just arrived in Hong Kong from mainland China, stuffed coins from Tianchao into a vending machine with five cents.
Mainland, what are you doing?You are stupid if you use RMB to buy soda!Police at the train station ran over and threw Ah Xing's coins away.
A Xing smiled and said: I don’t have Hong Kong dollars, comrade, I don’t think about it either.
The policeman said: No one is your comrade. When did you see me wearing a uniform, you called me the police officer.
Afterwards, A Xing asked the police to lend him money to buy soda. The police teased A Xing and asked him to ask for a brother (a vending machine), so A Xing really went to ask for a vending machine.
Bang!
The soda fell from the machine, and the police looked dumbfounded as Ah Xing took the soda away.
Hahaha... The audience in the theater gave Kang Jianfei a lot of face, and a chuckle burst out from the beginning of the film.
Many reporters even thought that the beginning of "Love Saint" and "Gambling Saint" were both ridiculed by mainlanders in Hong Kong. It was probably Kang Jianfei's personal experience.
There has been another bizarre rumor about Kang Jianfei since then...
The TV series "He Comes from the Jianghu" has truly exposed Hong Kong audiences to nonsensical comedy; while the hit screening of "Love Saint" means that nonsensical has finally been accepted by Hong Kong people.
The current "Gambling Saint" is even more unconventional in form. In just a few minutes of the film screening, a burst of hilariousness came from the theater for more than ten seconds. In order to find the third uncle, Ah Xing, played by Stephen Chow, took a photo of Wu Mengda and said that it was a rapist. Then, when Wu Mengda was touching the Thirteenth, several policemen rushed in to subdue him.
Haha, Ah Xing is so cheap!
Why is Ng Mengda so declining every time?
Damn, I can see through the special abilities of the cards.
……
The movie-watching reaction on the spot was extremely enthusiastic. Many people came for the title of the sequel to "Game God". Now they discovered that "Game God" and "Game God" are two completely different styles.
When Chow Yun-fat saw this, he laughed and said to Cherie Chung: Mr. Kang is really good at spoofing, and gambling movies can be made like this.
Chung Chuhong looked at Kang Jianfei who was sitting far away and said helplessly: Who knows what he is thinking all day long?
Several left-wing filmmakers don’t have much affection for “The Gambling Saint”, but Shu Qi and Chen Bosen of “The Movie Biweekly” lit up, who said: Stephen Chow’s nonsensical style has become more mature.
Shu Qi nodded and said: Mr. Kang is the male protagonist in two consecutive movies. It is hard for Stephen Chow to not become famous. It seems that he is going to become the second Chow Yun-fat.
Unfortunately, DreamWorks is now banned, and no matter how popular Stephen Chow is, he will not receive a movie appointment outside.Chen Bosen shook his head and sighed.
Hahaha……
There was a burst of laughter in the theater. Some scenes that looked a little bored twenty years later could make the audience feel stomachache.
Rightist newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily, Red and Green Daily, Hong Kong Times, Chaoran Daily, and True Daily all regard Kang Jianfei as an enemy. The rightist newspapers printed with the Republic of China on their eyebrows were printed with the right-wing newspapers of the Republic of China.
