In early August, "Wang Feihong's Ambition" was launched in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. After Hong Kong's box office sales, it set off a box office boom in Southeast Asia.
For audiences in the Nanyang area, Hong Kong films in recent years have been synonymous with good movies.
For local hospitals, DreamWorks' factory logo and Kang Jianfei's name mean counting the money and cramping your hands.
Due to the Cold War and ideological confrontation, Southeast Asian countries set off an anti-China craze in the 1960s.
During this craze, not only were most Chinese schools in Nanyang forced to close, but Chinese movies, literature, music and comics were also affected. Hong Kong literature and comics were driven out of the Nanyang market at that time.
Singapore has always been a vicious dog raised by the United States in Southeast Asia and is a pioneer in Asia's anti-China war in the 21st century.
However, in the 1980s, China, the United States and Japan were in the honeymoon period, so Southeast Asian countries also had excellent relations with China, especially Singapore and Thailand.
Influenced by this political environment, Hong Kong films can be distributed unimpeded in other countries except for the fact that they cannot be sold in Vietnam and Khmer.
"Shaolin Temple" is the most popular movie in Singapore's history, so Jet Li's reputation in the local area is no less than Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin.
"Wang Feihong" has the star effect of Jet Li and the halo of director Kang Jianfei. On the day of the opening of Star Singapore, it won a box office of US$80,000.
The first-day box office of US$80,000 is very small, but compared with the population base of Star Singapore, this is already an amazing achievement, only a little less than when "Shaolin Temple" was released.
Thailand is even more popular. Even the second and third princesses of the Thai royal family attended the Thai premiere of "Huang Feihong" and invited Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan to the palace for a banquet.
(The Thai royal family often does this kind of thing, so Pan Yingzi runs to dance for the Thai king. Brigitte Lin, Jackie Chan, Qin Xianglin and others have also had dinner at the Thai palace. Not long after the Thai princess came back from the mainland, she also published a book called "Access to the Dragon's Land".)
As the two princesses made their debut at the Thai premiere of "Huang Feihong", the majority of Thai people followed the trend and entered the theater. The first-day box office of this movie reached 110,000 US dollars, setting a new record for the first-day box office of Chinese-language movies in Thailand.
Starring Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, then the Philippines, Indonesia... and even Brunei, which only completed its independence last year, "Wang Feihong" has been popular in all countries in Southeast Asia.
It has to be said that martial arts and kung fu movies are extremely popular in Southeast Asia, and there are countless potential fans.
The recession of kung fu and martial arts films in the past few years was because the audience in Nanyang was aesthetically exhausted. Once the kung fu and martial arts films were filmed, they could get a box office that was against the sky in these areas.
The so-called defiance of the sky does not mean that a country can earn millions of dollars. These Southeast Asian countries are either too poor or have too few people. The box office of 1 million US dollars is enough to celebrate with champagne.
But it can't stand the country's Ah, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars here and millions of dollars there, and the total box office is at least five or six million dollars. It can be converted into Hong Kong dollars, so Nanyang is the largest ticket store for Hong Kong films.
In addition, the sporadic box office in Macau, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and other regions can easily exceed 100 million (Hong Kong dollars) even if the Taiwan authorities banned "Wang Feihong".
Nowadays, the records, movies, TV series and other products of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group are operated by the split Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company.
According to the forecast of Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company, the global box office of "Wong Fei-Hong" is likely to reach 150 million, and if it sells well in Europe and the United States, the box office is even expected to exceed 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
With such considerable box office data, it does not mean that "Huang Feihong" is so beautiful.
The film is just a necessary factor, and the success of the box office is also due to the company's years of development of distribution channels and the personal brand effects of DreamWorks and Kang Jianfei.
Singapore's Lianhe Evening News said: As a director, Kang Jianfei's influence in Asia has reached a new level and enjoys the highest treatment of hospital merchants.For Singapore Cathay Pacific Cinema and Shaw Cinema, which have been fiercely competitive for decades, as long as the movie directed by Kang Jianfei himself is released, the two theater companies will put aside their grudges and jointly promote and screen them.
Since Kang Jianfei was filming for his company and did not receive much directorial reward, the shooting cost of "Huang Feihong" was only about 9 million yuan. Based on the global box office of 1.5 billion, DreamWorks has made a lot of money.
Although the film has just been released in Nanyang, its hot selling momentum has made countless Hong Kong peers jealous, and has also stimulated Nanyang funders to invest in Hong Kong films.
In the past, directors who had no funds or theaters in Hong Kong and had talent, now many people have received investment from Nanyang and Taiwanese businessmen, and they are sharpening their knives and ready to do something.
When "Huang Feihong's Ambition" was popular in Southeast Asia, Feng Huáng TV also ushered in the second Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant.
This year's Miss Oriental final was postponed by a full month compared to last year, which was the result of the joint discussion and coordination between Feng Huáng and Wireless TVB.
The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been held for many years and has gradually become Hong Kong's urban cultural business card. Last year, the competition between Miss Hong Kong and Sister Dong was too fierce.
When Miss Oriental was in its inception last year, it was understandable to attract attention. If you continue to compete like this viciously this year, it will actually not be of great benefit to both sides.
If the finals are held staggered, the ratings of both sides may reach 60%, or even more than 70%.
And if the finals are held on the same day, then the respective ratings will definitely not exceed 50%.
The advertising fees charged by the TV station are completely different from the same level. Since each step back can get a high advertising fee, why do you have to fight to the death?
Whether it is Kang Jianfei, Huang Xizhao, or Zhong Jinghui, they all know that no matter how well Miss Oriental held it, it is impossible to completely defeat Miss Hong Kong.
Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua were also scared by Feng Huáng's endless new tricks, so the two sides hit it off and finally decided to stagger each other's finals for more than a month.
During the negotiations, both sides rushed to hold the final first, but in the end they had no choice but to draw lots. As a result, Zhong Jinghui was probably not washing his hands in the toilet, and unfortunately he drew until the end of August.
As early as July, the 13th Miss Hong Kong final came to an end.
In another time and space, the champion of this year's Miss Hong Kong is Xie Ning, but Xie Ning has already been taken over by Kang Jianfei and became a little lover. This time, the champion of Miss Hong Kong has become Wang Ailun.
If you take it out separately, Ailun Wang is still quite beautiful and charming.
But people are more serious than others, and they are more serious than goods. When the last Miss Hong Kong champion Gao Lihong came on stage to present awards to Wang Ailun, Gao Lihong's aura was directly overwhelming the title of Miss Hong Kong this year's third place, instantly showing that Miss Hong Kong this year's Miss Hong Kong is not of high quality.
After the beauty pageant finals, while some Hong Kong media were praising Gao Lihong, they frantically complained and mocked the Hong Kong Miss this year for choosing a group of grass chickens, saying that no grass chickens could become golden phoenixes even if they flew onto the branches.
From this point of view, Ailun Wang can be regarded as the most tragic Miss Hong Kong champion in history, but at the same time she is an extremely lucky champion.
After the previous Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, Miss Hong Kong champions were basically busy participating in activities everywhere or going international competitions. After all, the limelight of these Miss Hong Kong champions had passed, and then they were hosting programs, starring in TV series and movies based on their luck and strength.
Miss Oriental is different. As soon as the champion Li Zhi was selected, he was determined to be the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film. Runner-up Qiu Huixin not only hosted the show, but also starred in two popular dramas in succession.
Such a move not only made the two of them strong in the subsequent development power, but also too high the influence of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant.
Run Run Shaw seemed to be excited. As soon as this year's Miss Hong Kong final ended, he announced on the spot that he tailored a TV series for the new Miss Hong Kong champion.
In comparison, although the quality of Miss Oriental this year is not much better than Miss Hong Kong, the publicity stunts are enough to attract the audience's attention.
Gambling King Stanley Ho personally served as the final judge, regardless of whether Ye Yuqing's identity was accidentally exposed by the newspaper. It turned out that she was the sister of Ye Zhiming, the former jeans king and the pioneer of Hong Kong film New Waves.
Not only that, Ye Zhiming was also the general manager of Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company at this time, responsible for the market issuance work of the entire Oriental Group.
Is it unfair to other beauties that such a powerful figure in Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, his own sister who comes to participate in the beauty pageant of Miss Oriental?
Ye Yuqing's identity was naturally deliberately released by Feng Huáng Taiwan, so she chose to start hype in the first week of the final. After receiving the news, major newspapers questioned the fairness of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, which attracted countless people's attention while arousing criticism.
Faced with public doubts, Zhong Jinghui happily held a press conference before the final, saying: The Miss Oriental beauty pageant is the freest beauty pageant in Hong Kong. Any adult woman who has no bad records and has not signed a contract with any entertainment company can sign up. We don’t care whether she is a factory worker or a royal princess.It was purely her personal wish for Miss Ye Yuqing to sign up for the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. Our competition organizing committee cannot stop it, otherwise it would be a violation of Miss Oriental's competition rules... I here solemnly promise that the judges of the beauty pageant finals will not deliberately give her high scores because of Miss Ye Yuqing's identity... To be honest, due to strong doubts from the media, the judges of the finals may deliberately suppress Ms Ye's score in order to avoid suspicion. This is the most unfair to her. Her identity not only does not bring benefits, but has become a drag on her normal performance.
On the second day of the press conference, Oriental Daily made a prediction: No matter how good Ye Yuqing performed in the final, she would never be able to become Miss Oriental’s beauty pageant champion, because no matter whether it is the beauty pageant organizing committee or the judge, they dare not take the public opinion risk...
The Oriental Daily also included some short stories about Ye Yuqing, just to prove how beautiful and excellent this girl is. As a result, she now thinks that the public has lost the hope of winning more championships.
As a result, before the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals began, Ye Yuqing's popularity had already surpassed this year's Miss Hong Kong champion Wang Ailun, and many of her supporters called Feng Huáng Station and asked comments not to give up during the finals and not to deliberately suppress Ye Yuqing.
