The 1988 Hong Kong movie Christmas was unexpectedly released without particularly outstanding movies.
Films released by several major film companies are in line with the festive holiday of Christmas, and the films released are nothing more than three categories: urban comedy, urban comedy and romantic comedy.
Since "My Savage Girlfriend" became popular, Hong Kong romance comedy has been following the trend without any brains.
Although the follower movie has died, it has made a lot of money, so that the Christmas romance films released now have more or less the shadow of "My Savage Girlfriend".
After the Christmas season ended, everyone realized that this year's Christmas box office was particularly low. The box office champion was actually a market comedy "The King of Money" filmed by Eric Tsang after joining Vientiane Film.
"King of Money" is another new movie in this time and space. Kang Jianfei has never heard of it before. It is written by Wong Pai-ming and directed by Eric Tsang, and both of them serve as the main actors.
Although this movie won the box office championship for Christmas, its box office was only 21.56 million. It is conceivable how bad the Christmas season is this year. The other movies generally have only a box office of 10 million.
Although the box office of a single movie has declined, the overall box office of this Christmas Hong Kong film is growing, because there are too many films released during the festival.
Moreover, because Kang Jianfei, Wang Jing, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, John Woo, Tsui Hark, Gao Zhisen and other major directors have no works released, the audience is dispersed to 10 movies of all sizes, resulting in the box office of a single movie being diluted.
On the contrary, the Korean movie "Extraordinary Anchor" starring Chow Yun-fat, Choi Shin, Lai Ming and Kang Hyun-jin set a box office record for Korean movies. After the number of local viewers exceeds 2 million, it is still being screened. It will take at least two or three months to finish the film.
In another time and space, this movie is the sixth-ranked film in South Korea's local movie box office list in recent years, with more than 8.2 million viewers.
The plot of the film given by Kang Jianfei has been slightly changed. The male protagonist Chow Yun-fat is an outdated middle-aged singer. He has moved from the stage to behind the scenes as a radio anchor. He has improved slightly in recent years and has his own exclusive radio program.
One day, Cui Zhen, who was 14 years younger than Chow Yun-fat, suddenly appeared. To be honest, he was his biological daughter, the flesh and blood left by Chow Yun-fat in the third grade of junior high school.
Not only that, Cui Zhen is also a young unmarried mother, with a son of a few years old, Chow Yun-fat's grandson.
Chow Yun-fat couldn't figure out the truth or falsehood of this incident, and was afraid that this scandal would damage his reputation if it spread. He worked with his daughter and grandson all day long.
Liming is Kang Jianfei's newly added role in the film. His identity is a newspaper reporter and Cui Zhen's suitor.
The identity of a reporter made Chow Yun-fat try every means to hide the fact that he had a daughter, but Li Ming misunderstood that Chow Yun-fat lived with Choi Zhen, causing ridiculous and unexpected events again and again.
Kang Jianfei only provides a story summary, and the details of the script were completed by a screenwriter at DreamWorks and a screenwriter from South Korea.
The director is Kim Yu-jin, a film professional from the Central University of Korea. He directed the unique black humorous film "Hero Yeon-ge" two years ago. Although he was less than 30 years old, he was still invited by Kang Jianfei as the director of "Extreme Anchor". Now there are spoofs and humorous cells in Korea, and there are too few directors who can make good movies.
The actor who was a few-year-old Cute Xiaoshouta in the film is called Kang Hyun-jin, who is the nephew of director Kim Yu-jin. Although he was troublesome during filming, he was eventually trained.
South Korea is now a dumping market for Hong Kong films. In the off-season, the hospital has introduced a large number of Eastern European films in order to save on film purchase costs. Korean local films are a tragedy.
Although the male lead and second male leads are both Hong Kong stars, the director is Korean Ah, and Koreans also participate in the screenwriter.
Two or three months before the movie was released, the publicity department of Oriental Entertainment (South Korea) Group began to use the gimmick of Korean local commercial blockbusters to make selling points, saying that in order to make this Korean commercial blockbuster, director Kim Yu-jin went to Hong Kong to invite two stars, Chow Yun-fat and Leon Lai.
The gimmicks of Korean local commercial blockbusters are still very attractive. In addition, the popular Chow Yun-fat is the male lead. This "Extreme Anchor" has been very much looking forward to it as soon as it started filming.
Immediately afterwards, during the filming of the movie, the heroine of "Extreme Anchor" was also accidentally exposed, and people discovered that the actress, the leading actress, actually debuted at the beginning of the year and became famous with a TV role.
The combination of the popular Hong Kong star Chow Yun-fat and the Korean national queen Choi Zhen, coupled with a handsome Dawn and Cute Xiaoshouta Kang Hyun-jin, is enough to attract the attention of any Korean audience.
What's more, the easy and humorous plot is a rare Korean local film at this stage. Director Kim Yu-jin also has a black humorous style, which is more interesting than parallel time and space.
After the release of "Extraordinary Anchor", not only did Chow Yun-fat's popularity rise again, Choi Zhen actually surpassed the three Korean actresses Lee Mi-sook, Lee Bo-hee and Won Mi-kyung in one fell swoop, becoming the actress with the highest paid film in South Korea, and was also known as the most fashionable and charming woman in South Korea.
As for why there is the later ban, it is actually very simple, because the makeup artist in "Extreme Anchor" was sent by Hong Kong, and Choi Zhen is full of Hong Kong flavor on the screen, and her hairstyle and dress are imitated by Korean women.
In addition, Li Ming, who plays the male supporting role, is also very prosperous. His handsome and sunny appearance is quite popular among Korean female audiences. He received several invitations to Korean advertisements just half a month after the movie was released.
Finally, there is director Kim Yu-jin, who was named South Korea's No. 1 commercial director, a young film genius, and a leader of the Korean film young. Although many traditional directors scoff at his films, it is undeniable that this guy is indeed in the Korean film industry.
It can be said that a large number of people became famous in South Korea, and even some small supporting roles began to attract attention.
However, for Kang Jianfei, how much he earns at the box office is not the key point, the key point is to gain a foothold in South Korea through this film.
As for the Korean directors, starring and screenwriters of the film, they naturally signed a contract with Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group (Korea) company, and the company continued to package and promote them.
The easiest thing to hype is the director and the heroine. Kim Yu-jin has been hyped into the top of young Korean directors, and it is almost said to be the hope of the rise of Korean films.
The heroine Choi's miserable childhood experience was also revealed and fryed. She couldn't afford to eat anything that was so poor that she came to Seoul to work to make money to support her younger brother's schooling. Anyway, it would be as miserable as possible.
Comparing Cui Zhen's miserable childhood is her experience after coming to Seoul.
First, she worked as a small job on the TV station silently. Because she was short of people when filming a certain series of historical drama "500 Years of the Joseon Dynasty", she was attracted by the director and threw her into the heroine of the episode. She became a big star in one shot. Then she was selected by director Kim Yu-jin to play the heroine of "Extreme Anchor", becoming the most valuable female star in Korea.
This is simply an inspirational story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan and Cinderella turning into Snow White. Just based on her life experience and successful experience, Cui Zhen has attracted a large number of loyal fans.
The box office was not only in South Korea, but also in North America, the Paramount film "The Pretty Beauty" written by Kang Jianfei was released during Christmas.
Although the heroine was replaced by Sophie Marceau, the market response did not weaken.
Sophie Marceau's French charm makes this movie have a different flavor, but instead makes North American audiences like it even more.
The entire Christmas season in North America this year is the world of Paramount's "Fengyue Pretty" and Universal Pictures' "Dragon Brother and Rat".
However, "The Pretty Beauty" has always been leading the way. When the two movies were released, the box office of "The Pretty Beauty" in North America was more than 172 million US dollars, while "The Dragon Brother and the Rat" only received more than 111 million US dollars in box office.
"Fangfang" directed by Kang Jianfei suffered a box office Waterloo in North America, and Sophie Marceau was not famous in the United States.
After the hit screening of "The Pretty Beauty", Sophie Marceau rose to the ranks of A-level actresses.
After evaluating the video, the Hollywood Reporter added: At the beginning of last year, news about Paramount's decline emerged one after another, because the company's second largest shareholder was an Asian, while the company's president was still a woman."The Pretty Beauty" delivered a perfect answer to the box office. Paramount used this annual box office champion movie to return to the peak of Hollywood...
In Taiwan, the Christmas season is Kang Jianfei's old film "Love Saint", which was pirated in Taiwan several years ago, but it still sold more than NT$15 million in box office, second only to the sequel to the "Police Story" with a box office of more than NT$16 million.
You may be surprised, why did Kang Jianfei's movies sold for tens of millions of dollars in Taiwan a few years ago, but now they can only sell for more than 10 million?
There is only one reason, that is, piracy is too rampant.
"Love Saint" is an old film a few years ago. Not to mention, Jackie Chan's "Police Story" sequel premiered in Hong Kong six months ago. It is also pirated in Taiwan, so that the box office of this film is only more than NT$16 million.
How much impact will piracy have on box office? Just look at the box office champion of the movie released in Taiwan this year. The box office of "The Last Emperor" is more than NT$100 million.
The box office of the sequel of "Police Story" and "The Last Emperor" in Taiwan are 10 times different, not because Taiwanese audiences don't like Jackie Chan, but because the pirated version of "The Last Emperor" is difficult to do, while the pirated version of "Police Story" sequel is very easy to get.
The movie has not been released yet and Hong Kong audiences have already watched the pirated version, so at least 80% of the audience will not go to the cinema to watch it again.
But no matter what, Kang Jianfei's company's films have been getting good news this Christmas, and his hands are cramped when counting money.
