The identity curse was finally fulfilled, and Ye Yuqing missed the title of Dongjie!

On the second day of the Miss Oriental final, most of the entertainment page headlines in Hong Kong newspapers were reports of the beauty pageant finals, and the main body of the report was not the champion, but the runner-up of this year's Miss Oriental and the most photogenic Miss Ye Yuqing.

At this time, Kang Jianfei was carrying a photo of the Oriental Daily, and the headlines of the entertainment page published a photo of the champion when he was crowned.

After filming "The Saint of Gambling", Li Zhi, the champion of the previous Dongjie, continued to study in the United States, and this time he made a special trip back from there to present awards to this champion.

In the photo, this year's Dongjie champion Pan Xianyi lowered her head slightly and asked Li Zhi to give her the crown of the beauty pageant queen with a smile on her face.

Not far behind Pan Xianyi, Ye Yuqing was also smiling and applauding, but her smile clearly had a bitter taste.

This photo is very good, and Lao Ma has some talents under him.Kang Jianfei pointed to the photos in the newspaper and laughed.

Ye Zhiming sighed: Aqing, what did you say when you signed up for the competition?It doesn’t matter whether you can get a ranking or not. Why can you laugh so badly that you cry if you don’t win the championship?

Ye Yuqing sat next to the two of them, and was so angry that she used her pink fists to hit Ye Zhiming on the shoulder: Brother!They are so embarrassed now that you even make fun of me!It’s not because you are the general manager of Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company that those judges dare not let me win the beauty pageant championship.

In order to avoid suspicion, the judges deliberately lowered Ye Yuqing's competition scores, and finally let her pass by the beauty pageant queen's crown. This is a common saying among most newspapers.

In Kang Jianfei's opinion, in addition to being proud and enlarged, Ye Yuqing is indeed not as good as Pan Xianyi in appearance, and there is no case of being deliberately suppressed.

Of course, each person has different aesthetic orientations. Ye Yuqing's beauty is more Western and tough and sexy, while champion Pan Xianyi's beauty belongs to the Eastern style. His charming and charming look is somewhat like Zhao Yazhi.

But no matter who is more beautiful, the topic has been hyped after all. Although the mainstream criticism for Ye Yuqing, champion Pan Xianyi also has many fans.

The two gangs quarreled, and the media joined in the fun for sales, and the hype news that Feng Huáng paid for people to write, Pan Xianyi and Ye Yuqing will definitely be topicals in the next one or two months.

What DreamWorks and Feng Huáng Station need to do is to create TV series and TV programs for the two before the news topic has expired, and stabilize this temporary fame.

Venice has been laid out?Kang Jianfei did not mention the beauty pageant of Miss Oriental again.

Ye Zhiming said: The arrangement has been almost done, and more than 30 film distributors around the world have agreed to participate in the Venetian premiere of "Shushan".However, whether it can succeed depends on whether "Shushan" can gain recognition from Western audiences, otherwise those publishers will not buy it.

I know this, let's talk about it after the premiere.Kang Jianfei is really not sure whether "Shushan" can be liked by European and American audiences.

Currently, this movie "Shushan" that invests more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars and is carefully created by Tsui Hark for more than a year is completely different from the movie in the original time and space.

The novel "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan" by the owner of Huanzhu Lou is quite a bit like a Qingming mountain map. The characters are full of images and tell them in a leisurely manner, gradually outlining the complete world of Swordsman.

But such a rhythm cannot be used to make movies. Remember that the protagonist is not outstanding when doing commercial movies. Personal heroism is the king of commercial movies. The box office of the "Spider-Man" series is far higher than that of the "X-Men" series, which is the best proof.

Under Kang Jianfei's urge, "Shushan" created by Tsui Hark and DreamWorks screenwriters is a complete Hollywood commercial film model, focusing on outlining Lee Young-qiong played by Lee Sai-feng and Yu Ying-nan played by He Jiajin.

Then, a few important supporting roles will be added, including the second female lead played by Zhao Yazhi, and will work hard to help the male and female protagonists to survive the difficult angle, so that the scene can be grand and the plot will be full. This is how "Lord of the Rings" is done. The "Shushan" invested by Kang Jianfei is the narrative rhythm of "Lord of the Rings".

There is personal heroism, many friends working together, and beautiful love, friendship and grudges. This is the entire element of "Shushan".

The box office defeat of Tsui Hark in the original time and space was not only because the pace was so fast that the audience could not keep up, but also because the emotions inside were too pale and cold, which lacked a bit of earthly popularity, which gave the audience a very poor sense of substitution. This was also what Kang Jianfei asked to make the key corrections.

In the end, the movie "Shushan" produced by Tsui Hark is actually a fantasy movie that upgrades monsters and villains with Hollywood structure and Eastern style ideas.

What Kang Jianfei can be sure is that audiences in the East Asian Confucian cultural circle will definitely like this movie, but it cannot guarantee whether Western audiences can understand it. This cultural barrier is really a bit big.

As September begins, Hong Kong students begin to return to school one after another, and this year's summer movie season is coming to an end.

In the summer of 1985, "Wang Feihong: The Great Ambition" ranked first in the box office of Hong Kong summer movies with HK$36.81 million; the second place was Jackie Chan's "Police Story", with a box office of 25.77 million in Hong Kong; "Summer Lucky Star" starring Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan was the most impacted by "Wang Feihong". In the original time and space, the film was close to 29 million box office, but now it has been squeezed to only 23.59 million, and it has been shot to the third place in the summer.

It has to be said that Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are box office guarantees. In the top three box office list this summer, Jiahe's movies occupy two places.

However, in terms of box office data alone, DreamWorks actually made more money, because the fourth-ranked "Gambling Man" has a box office of 22.98 million, and the box office of "Wong Fei-Hong" is far more than the combined "Summer Lucky Star" and "Police Story".

It is worth mentioning that "Happy Adventure" has a box office of 20.83 million Hong Kong dollars. This is also the second movie with a box office of 20 million yuan in Debao Film Company, which is extremely dazzling among all independent film companies.

Most importantly, Debao Film Company has reached a cooperative relationship with Xinbao Cinemas.

Debao Film Company originally cooperated with Jiahe Theater, but now it has gone to Xinbao to be released, and it has essentially formed a competitive relationship with Jiahe.

In addition, Sammo Hung ran out to film "The Rich Train" with Eric Tsang and Mai Jia, which made Zou Wenhuai so angry that he was about to vomit blood. However, Zou Wenhuai had to forcefully swallow this anger and asked Sammo Hung to have a long talk. Then Sammo Hung came to Eric Tsang and Mai Jia to discuss it.

No one knows what they talked about, but the result of the conversation is very clear: Sammo Hung withdraws shares from Debao Film Company, and Jiahe acquiescensors Sammo Hung to finish filming "The Fugui Train", but Jiahe also must participate in an investment and obtain the distribution rights of "The Fugui Train". Of course, this distribution rights are not exclusive.

At the same time, in the next movie Sammo Hung and Jiahe, Jiahe will increase the box office share of Baohe Film Company.

Pan Disheng's Debao also made a big move. Mr. Pan spent money to buy back the shares given away by Sammo Hung and sold them to Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong.

At the same time, Pan Disheng, who was ignited by the popular sales of "Happy Adventure", also spent 50 million yuan to build and acquire the theater, and joined the Xinbao Cinema founded by Chen and Feng.

This means that Debao Film Company and Xinbao Cinema have become solid allies, and several bosses have shares in each other's companies and are bound to form a community of interests.

On the other hand, Xinyi City began to decline several years earlier than the original time and space, and small layoffs began before the summer season ended.

Affected by this, Princess Golden Cinema announced that it would increase its box office share to attract the source of Hong Kong independent film companies, and launched a vicious competition with the betrayed Xinbao Cinema.

Ordinary movie fans may not be able to detect anything, but only feel that the number of movies released in major theaters suddenly increased a lot in the next period of time.

But people in the Hong Kong film industry can always feel the undercurrents, and the Xiangjiang film industry has changed again this summer.

The initiator of all these changes was Kang Jianfei. Without him flapping his butterfly wings, there would not be the early decline of Xinyi City, and Chen Rongmei's Xinbao Cinema would not have opened so quickly.

In addition to Kang Jianfei, the biggest influence is Cai Songlin, the messenger.

Cai Songlin represents not individuals, but all investors in Southeast Asia and Taiwan who want to squeeze into the Hong Kong film industry and get a share.

Cai Songlin just made a small hole in the embankment, and countless local tyrants in Nanyang and Taiwan used money to form a rapid flow to break out of a big gap in the embankment.

In September alone, seven Hong Kong films invested by Nanyang and Taiwanese businessmen will be launched. These films will be released in Xinbao and Princess Jin, and may even be released in Oriental Cinemas and Yindu Cinemas.

Stimulated by the market and the abundant film source, it has in turn promoted the development of cinemas, and some wealthy people in Hong Kong have begun to spend money to build cinemas.

These theaters are retail theaters, either being absorbed and won over by Xinyi City, or forming temporary theaters with other retail investors. Anyway, they have digested many films that cannot be released by mainstream theaters.

As of December 1985, the number of cinemas in Hong Kong soared to 156, and it won’t take long to reach its peak of 180.

With the continuous layoffs in the New Art City, Pandison's Debao Film Company began to recruit people. It was obviously the hot sale of "Happy Adventure" and the alliance with Xinbao Theater Line that made him feel greatly increased his confidence and was preparing to quickly expand the scale to compete with Jiahe and DreamWorks for the film market.

It was under this situation that the second Miss Oriental final was still scattering, with champion Pan Xianyi and runner-up Ye Yuqing busy filming TV series, while Tang Shuxuan led Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng and others to a expedition to Venice.

Whether "Shushan" can impress the white ghosts can only wait and see.
