Kang Jianfei did not hold a premiere for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", nor did he get the midnight show to show it. He only advertised it in some newspapers, magazines and TV stations, and Princess Jin Cinemas also cooperated with the release promotion.
After a week of continuous publicity bombing, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was released on the Golden Princess theater as scheduled.Because other films have to be arranged, Lei Juekun only gave Kang Jianfei 16 cinemas this time.
Sammo Hung wore a hat on his head to cover his face and walked into the Huasheng Cinema under Princess Jin with Yuan Biao.Sammo Hung was relieved until he sat down in the screening room and found that no one recognized them.
Sammo Hung's "Beware of Little Hands" was released three days ago, with a cumulative box office of 2.54 million in three days, and it is now another blockbuster movie.
If someone found out that he secretly watched Kang Jianfei's movie at this time, Sammo Hung would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and he would be said to be afraid of Kang Jianfei.
Yuan Biao brought in two cans of bottles of wine, threw it to Sammo Hung, and then chewed the roast goose while waiting for the movie to be screened.
Soon, there were more and more spectators in the screening hall, with only a few seats empty.
Yuan Biao drank beer and said: The attendance rate is very high, and it has exceeded 90%.
Sammo Hung said: Kang Jianfei has a very high box office appeal, not to mention that the mainland actor is the male lead this time.
Yuan Biao smiled and said: I heard that Oriental Dream Factory was banned by Taiwan, and Kang Jianfei was really unlucky this time.
Sammo Hung didn't know about this, and he asked in surprise: Who did you hear?
Yuan Biao said: I only found out about the news from Taiwan when I drank with Brother Long yesterday.
Sammo Hung asked: Is it true or false?
Yuan Biao said: Really, that Qin Xianglin is here, he told me.
Qin Xianglin said that he is a Hong Kong actor, but he is very popular in Taiwan, and Sammo Hung has some friendship with him.
Since it is the news from Qin Xianglin, most of it is true. There is no need to spread rumors about such things.
Although they are in a competitive relationship, Sammo Hung and Kang Jianfei have no major conflicts, but instead admire Kang Jianfei's directorial ability.
In fact, even Jackie Chan, who fought box office battles with Kang Jianfei many times, had no personal grudges, at most, because Qin Xianglin was caught in the middle and could not be friends.
Sammo Hung was not happy to hear that Kang Jianfei's company was banned by the Taiwan authorities. Instead, he was a little sad and vigilant, and warned himself that he must not be involved in such political disputes.
The movie finally began, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao both became serious. They did not come to watch the movie for entertainment, but wanted to see what Kang Jianfei's first costume kung fu drama would look like.
In the past two years, although not many Hong Kong directors have admitted this, they are actually greatly influenced by Kang Jianfei.
"Happy Ghost", "Mr. Zombie" and "Sister Royal", these three movies have created a genre. Sammo Hung's recent two blockbuster movies are deliberately imitating Kang Jianfei.
At the beginning of the film, there are mountains in the camera. The camera slowly approaches, and then a piece of ancient buildings with red walls and black tiles appear among the trees.
In the screening room, a viewer suddenly shouted: It’s Wudang Mountain!
In fact, there is no need to remind you. Everyone has seen the plaque in Wudang. This plaque is very new and was created by Kang Jianfei and hung up.
It is really Wudang Mountain, more spectacular than Shaolin Temple.
Kang Jianfei turned out to be going to mainland China to shoot movies.
……
There was no figure in the film yet, and the audience was excited when they saw the signs of Wudang Mountain.
There is no way, who told Jin Yong to write about Shaolin Wudang so that everyone knows it?You saw Shaolin Temple some time ago, and now you have witnessed the true body of Wudang Mountain. It would be strange if you are unhappy.
Among the Wudang Mountains, Jet Li, who was wearing a Taoist priest's bun and a beard, wore a Taoist robe and took off all his childishness, finally feeling a bit like a master.
Confidence/No strength or strength in your hands
Have oneself/A peace and peace in your heart
Receive to the future/see the abundant life of emptiness
Furious and stable
There is a destiny in the world without a road
Move to stillness/dividend to multiplication
Enter the world with the flow and be born with the wind
There is love and mercy
Follow the circumstances and follow the rules and conditions without competing forever
Ruthless is affectionate
……
Behind Jet Li, dozens of people were wearing Taoist robes to practice Tai Chi with him. At the same time, the theme song of the movie "Suit for the Fate" also started to sound, which instantly made the audience excited.
In fact, this shot was taken back to Shichahai Sports School. Through the camera editing, the audience thought it was on Wudang Mountain.
Those sports school students who play supporting roles also have little understanding of Tai Chi. After practicing for a long time, they took photos seriously.
Everything about the camera, Zhang Sanfeng, played by Wu Jing, appeared in the camera.
Someone suddenly shouted in the screening room: Didn’t you take pictures of Wudang Mountain?Why did you run to Shaolin Temple again?
It's a crazy thread, have you never watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
That is, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhang Sanfeng also worked as a monk in Shaolin Temple when he was a child.
……
On the big screen, the childhood innocence of Zhang Sanfeng and Dong Tianbao made the audience laugh, and then the two young actors used brooms to practice Shaolin stick techniques while sweeping the floor. The standard movements and skillful moves attracted the audience's praise.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Sanfeng and Dong Tianbao had grown up. When the two of them practiced iron-headed skills with bricks while chatting, the audience was laughing.
The plot of the two breaking the stick formation in the DAMO Academy, but instead attracted everyone's eyes firmly on the screen.
Sammo Hung took a sip of beer and said to Yuan Biao: This fighting scene was very exciting.
Yuan Biao commented: It has a bit of the martial arts style of the Liu family, but it has more of awesomeness.
If this fighting scene only makes Sammo Hung and the others think it's good, then the fight between two women, Hui Yinghong and Yang Jingjing, in the restaurant behind, will make Sammo Hung awesome.
The agility and elegance of female warriors, as well as their heroic and sassy beauty, were fully demonstrated in this fight.
I have to admit that even if Kang Jianfei slowed down the shooting, Jet Li's acting skills still seemed very immature.
But the wonderful fights and interesting plots have made the audience automatically ignore Jet Li's lack of acting skills.
As far as the last few consecutive fights were concerned, the atmosphere of the film was pushed to its climax.
When Zhang Sanfeng, played by Jet Li, was showing off his power through Tai Chi, someone had already cheered loudly in the screening hall.
Similarly, Hui Yinghong's last image of the Double Blade Girl is to make the audience remember it deeply.
Amid the applause and cheers, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao stood up and prepared to go out.
Sammo Hung asked: Is this movie a little different from Aaron's kung fu movie?
Yuan Biao nodded and said: It’s so good to play, it’s so good to watch.
Sammo Hung said: It's Ah, I also enjoy watching it, but why does it make people feel happy?
Yuan Biao fell silent and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Judging from the box office in the past two years, costume kung fu films have begun to decline, and Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are famous for making costume kung fu films.
In order to get a good box office, Sammo Hung had to transform and shoot Linghuan Kung Fu and urban action movies, which were filled with a lot of helplessness and hard work.
It was in this situation that Kang Jianfei knew that filming costume kung fu movies might fail, but he also risked the risk of being banned by Taiwan, which made Sammo Hung come to watch it secretly.
Kang Jianfei, no one, Sammo Hung was disappointed. Compared with Shaw Brothers' old kung fu film, this movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" obviously has a different flavor.
……
"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" did not disappoint Kang Jianfei. The movie was filmed and released ten years ahead of schedule. It also took advantage of the remaining heat of "Shaolin Temple" to really ignit the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie.
On the first day of its release, several theaters were already full.
As the boss of the Golden Princess Cinema, Lei Juekun naturally could not have money but not earned money, and soon the release of this movie was increased to 20 theaters.
Sammo Hung's "Beware of Little Hands" is also very popular. In another time and space, this movie should have been the entrepreneurial work of Yongjia Pictures founded by Chen Xunqi.
However, except for Chen Xunqi, the other teams have not changed. The screenwriter is still Huang Bingyao, and the photography is Liu Guanwei, the real director of "Mr. Zombie", and he is still directed and acted by Sammo Hung.
After the release of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", the limelight of "Beware of Little Hands" was obviously suppressed.A week later, "The King of Thieves" directed by Wang Jing was also released on Shaw Brothers theaters.
The two thief films "Beware of Little Hands" and "The King of Thieves" began to grab the audience. "The King of Thieves" was released during the Spring Festival due to work, and the production effect was very rough.
Although "Beware of Little Hands" has been released for nearly half a month, after comparison, "King of the Thieves" has actually been defeated.
With the arrival of the Lantern Festival, the box office of "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" has reached nearly 20 million, while Sammo Hung's "Beware of Little Hand" has only more than 11 million, and Wang Jing's "King of the Thieves" has only more than 4 million.
However, Wang Jing's "King of Thieves" still made a profit because the actors are all TVB's team, and the filming time is less than two weeks, and the cost is only over 1 million.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month, the box office of "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" finally exceeded 20 million mark, becoming the only 20 million box office movie in this year's new year.
Almost all the film critics gave "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and "Movie Biweekly" praised the movie very much:
Director Kang Jianfei has always liked to surprise people, and this time it is the same.As this year's New Year blockbuster, he did not shoot sequels to "Mr. Zombies" and "Sister Royal", but instead made martial arts films that all filmmakers believed had declined.
If it were other directors, it would be obvious that it would be hard to get along with money, but Kang Jianfei did this every time. He seemed to never repeat it, and every movie was trying new things.
The plot of "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is very simple, but the rhythm is particularly compact.
During the 90 minutes of the film, the director did not waste a single shot, and the fighting scenes in the film were not the fight for the old-style kung fu films. Each action scene helps the development of the plot...
"Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is completely different from the old martial arts film. Judging from the style of the whole film, the action shots are smooth and elegant, perfectly integrating the realistic and romance of kung fu.
The sets and props are no longer as monotonous as old martial arts films. Hui Yinghong's image of holding a pipa and holding a double sword is classic, and even the villain female character Yang Jingjing is impressive.
Another thing worth mentioning is Jet Li, the male lead in this film. For a newcomer who has only made two movies, Jet Li's acting skills are questionable, but his solid foundation in kung fu makes up for his lack of acting skills.
Jet Li has only made two movies so far. The first movie "Shaolin Temple" had a box office of more than 16 million yuan, and the second movie "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" had a box office of more than 20 million yuan.
If what we expected was not bad, Mr. Kang Jianfei was training Jet Li as the number one star in Oriental DreamWorks. Maybe Jet Li can compete with Jackie Chan in the future...
Looking at the film reviews of the famous words in "Movie Biweekly", Kang Jianfei was really amused and crying.
Just a week after Kang Jianfei threw away the invitation to the Hong Kong Film Awards, Chen Bosen probably was afraid that Kang Jianfei would not come to attend the award ceremony, so he actually called Tang Shuxuan to help speak nice things.
Kang Jianfei sold "The Royal Sister" in the United States because he relied on Tang Shuxuan to cooperate with Jiang Zhiqiang, and he owe her a favor.
As soon as Tang Shuxuan called, Kang Jianfei could not helplessly agree to attend the Academy Awards ceremony.
A review in Ming Pao Weekly is interesting. Yi Shu has always been a fan of Kang Jianfei. After watching "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he picked up his pen and wrote: In my opinion, Shaw Brothers' martial arts films have a dull and unsightly screen image, just like puppets who have lost their souls.The "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" directed by Kang Jianfei is different. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, each of them is vivid and vivid, which is in sharp contrast to Shaw Brothers martial arts films.If Shaw Brothers’ martial arts films are old-style martial arts films, then Kang Jianfei’s martial arts films are new-style martial arts films…
Later generations said that Tsui Hark was a representative figure of new-story martial arts, but that was compared with the old-story martial arts in the 1960s and 1970s.
In fact, when Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan first shot old-school martial arts, they also called themselves new-school martial arts, but they were not compared with martial arts films in the 1930s and 1940s.
The new martial arts that used to be has become the old martial arts that are now, which is the so-called development and progress of films.
After Yi Shu called "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" a new martial arts, those reporters who were afraid of the world would not be in chaos specifically went to interview Zhang Che, a great martial arts director.
Zhang Cheung used to shoot movies for Shaw Brothers. In the 1970s, he took his disciples to Taiwan to develop, and within two years the company went bankrupt and failed.
When Kang Jianfei just fled to Hong Kong, Zhang Che once again took his disciples to Taiwan to open a company. This time he was even more miserable. He encountered the overall movie environment in Taiwan in a recession, and he only played for more than a year and came back.
Now Zhang Che is old and has a sick body. When asked by reporters what he thinks about "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", Zhang Che said: Sorry, the doctor told me to rest at home some time ago, and I haven't watched this movie yet.
The reporter asked again: Yishu said that the old-school martial arts films such as Shaw Brothers martial arts films are outdated, and the future will be the world of new-school martial arts like "Zhang Sanfeng". What do director Zhang have to say about this?
The reporter was just here to anger. Zhang Che held his breath and said: Martial arts will never go out of date. Once I recovered from the disease, I will come out to shoot the movie again.
The reporter asked again: What do you mean is that you won’t lose to Kang Jianfei’s new martial arts film?Are you challenging Director Kang?
Zhang Che's face turned dark and he said: I don't need to challenge anyone.
Wang Tianlin read the article in the newspaper and cursed: These paparazzi will write random reports.
Wang Tianlin and Zhang Che are old friends. Although they had some conflicts before, no one cares about it now.
What's more, Zhang Che is sick now, and the reporter is still reporting Zhang Che as a target, so Wang Tianlin naturally can't see it.
Nowadays, journalists are getting crazy, no matter what they are.
Wang Jing put on her suit, ran to the dressing mirror to sort it out for a long time, and finally vomited some saliva in her palm, smearing the hair that fell from her forehead.
When Wang Tianlin saw that he was about to go out, he asked casually: It's half an afternoon, why are you going out again?
Wang Jing said: A Fei held a celebration banquet for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" tonight and invited me over.
That's DreamWorks' celebration banquet, are you going to embarrass her eyes?Wang Tianlin said angrily, in fact, he was not satisfied with the box office of Wang Jing's new film.
The final box office of "King of Thieves" was more than 5.2 million. Although Shaw's local box office made a lot of money, it was still far behind the previous movie "Keep Girls" with a box office of more than 10 million.
Wang Jing didn't think so. He felt that it was enough to make money for Shaw Brothers. After all, "The King of Thieves" was too fast to rush to work.
He took it out and Wang Jing went downstairs to Kang Jianfei's house and found him staring at a cloth with a brush writing at home.
Wang Jing glanced a few times and said: It was actually the "Prajna Sutra". Ah Fei, I didn't expect you to believe in Buddhism.
Kang Jianfei said: A friend gave it to me and he said it would be beneficial to ask me to recite more scriptures.I was too busy some time ago, and now I have time to see it.
Wang Jing yawned and said: What's so good about Buddhist scriptures? Why not read "Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard".By the way, your "Emotional Journey" is now hundreds of thousands of words, why doesn't the heroine Ah yet?
Hundreds of thousands of words?
Kang Jianfei had already forgotten that novel.
The current serialized "The Journey of Ethereal" is all the outlines of Kang Jianfeilei. The first draft written by Wu Ruiqing, and finally the final draft was revised and finalized by cousin Wu Chenggang.
Sometimes when Wu Chenggang was not free of time to film, he would directly take the first draft to the Oriental Daily and ask him to find a pen to help polish it.
Wen Bixia came out wearing an evening dress and walked around the living room twice and asked: Brother, how about I wear this dress tonight?
Kang Jianfei glanced at him and said: Wear an extra coat when going out. The weather is very cold now.
Wang Jing originally walked around the living room, blowing air from time to time to tease the goldfish in the bathtub.
Suddenly he saw a pair of red slippers at the door of Kang Jianfei's room. After a moment of silence, he immediately understood what was going on, and just pretended not to know anything and chatted with Wen Bixia.
After a week of continuous publicity bombing, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" was released on the Golden Princess theater as scheduled.Because other films have to be arranged, Lei Juekun only gave Kang Jianfei 16 cinemas this time.
Sammo Hung wore a hat on his head to cover his face and walked into the Huasheng Cinema under Princess Jin with Yuan Biao.Sammo Hung was relieved until he sat down in the screening room and found that no one recognized them.

If someone found out that he secretly watched Kang Jianfei's movie at this time, Sammo Hung would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and he would be said to be afraid of Kang Jianfei.
Yuan Biao brought in two cans of bottles of wine, threw it to Sammo Hung, and then chewed the roast goose while waiting for the movie to be screened.
Soon, there were more and more spectators in the screening hall, with only a few seats empty.
Yuan Biao drank beer and said: The attendance rate is very high, and it has exceeded 90%.
Sammo Hung said: Kang Jianfei has a very high box office appeal, not to mention that the mainland actor is the male lead this time.
Yuan Biao smiled and said: I heard that Oriental Dream Factory was banned by Taiwan, and Kang Jianfei was really unlucky this time.
Sammo Hung didn't know about this, and he asked in surprise: Who did you hear?
Yuan Biao said: I only found out about the news from Taiwan when I drank with Brother Long yesterday.
Sammo Hung asked: Is it true or false?
Yuan Biao said: Really, that Qin Xianglin is here, he told me.
Qin Xianglin said that he is a Hong Kong actor, but he is very popular in Taiwan, and Sammo Hung has some friendship with him.

The reporter asked again: Yishu said that the old-school martial arts films such as Shaw Brothers martial arts films are outdated, and the future will be the world of new-school martial arts like "Zhang Sanfeng". What do director Zhang have to say about this?
The reporter was just here to anger. Zhang Che held his breath and said: Martial arts will never go out of date. Once I recovered from the disease, I will come out to shoot the movie again.
The reporter asked again: What do you mean is that you won’t lose to Kang Jianfei’s new martial arts film?Are you challenging Director Kang?
Zhang Che's face turned dark and he said: I don't need to challenge anyone.
Wang Tianlin read the article in the newspaper and cursed: These paparazzi will write random reports.
Wang Tianlin and Zhang Che are old friends. Although they had some conflicts before, no one cares about it now.
What's more, Zhang Che is sick now, and the reporter is still reporting Zhang Che as a target, so Wang Tianlin naturally can't see it.
Nowadays, journalists are getting crazy, no matter what they are.
Wang Jing put on her suit, ran to the dressing mirror to sort it out for a long time, and finally vomited some saliva in her palm, smearing the hair that fell from her forehead.
When Wang Tianlin saw that he was about to go out, he asked casually: It's half an afternoon, why are you going out again?
Wang Jing said: A Fei held a celebration banquet for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" tonight and invited me over.
That's DreamWorks' celebration banquet, are you going to embarrass her eyes?Wang Tianlin said angrily, in fact, he was not satisfied with the box office of Wang Jing's new film.
The final box office of "King of Thieves" was more than 5.2 million. Although Shaw's local box office made a lot of money, it was still far behind the previous movie "Keep Girls" with a box office of more than 10 million.
Wang Jing didn't think so. He felt that it was enough to make money for Shaw Brothers. After all, "The King of Thieves" was too fast to rush to work.
He took it out and Wang Jing went downstairs to Kang Jianfei's house and found him staring at a cloth with a brush writing at home.
Wang Jing glanced a few times and said: It was actually the "Prajna Sutra". Ah Fei, I didn't expect you to believe in Buddhism.
Kang Jianfei said: A friend gave it to me and he said it would be beneficial to ask me to recite more scriptures.I was too busy some time ago, and now I have time to see it.
Wang Jing yawned and said: What's so good about Buddhist scriptures? Why not read "Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard".By the way, your "Emotional Journey" is now hundreds of thousands of words, why doesn't the heroine Ah yet?
Hundreds of thousands of words?
Kang Jianfei had already forgotten that novel.
The current serialized "The Journey of Ethereal" is all the outlines of Kang Jianfeilei. The first draft written by Wu Ruiqing, and finally the final draft was revised and finalized by cousin Wu Chenggang.
Sometimes when Wu Chenggang was not free of time to film, he would directly take the first draft to the Oriental Daily and ask him to find a pen to help polish it.
Wen Bixia came out wearing an evening dress and walked around the living room twice and asked: Brother, how about I wear this dress tonight?
Kang Jianfei glanced at him and said: Wear an extra coat when going out. The weather is very cold now.
Wang Jing originally walked around the living room, blowing air from time to time to tease the goldfish in the bathtub.
Suddenly he saw a pair of red slippers at the door of Kang Jianfei's room. After a moment of silence, he immediately understood what was going on, and just pretended not to know anything and chatted with Wen Bixia.
