Outside the theater, He Chaoyi went straight to Kang Jianfei's Cadillac, turned his head and said to the bodyguard: "I'll go to my brother-in-law's house tonight, won't you follow too?" ”

The two bodyguards looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said, "Miss, before you go out tomorrow, please call us first." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Got it, it's annoying!" He Chaoyi said with a bad face.

From beginning to end, He Chaoyi didn't look at her father, and seemed to be angry with He Hongsen.

"Alas, it's hard to manage my daughter when she's older." Mr. Ho sighed and turned back to his car. His sons and daughters were very well-behaved when they were young, but when they reached adolescence, they developed rebellion, and all of them were disobedient, and each one was more difficult to manage.

Back at Villa 4, He Chaoqiong first went back to the room to urge her son to sleep, and then went downstairs to the living room. Smiled and asked, "Are you going to live with me all the time?" ”

He Chaoyi was wearing a leather coat and leather pants, dressed full of wildness, she gnawed on an apple and said, "I don't care, anyway, I'll talk about it when I'm angry." She suddenly asked Kang Jianfei again, "Brother-in-law, is there still a second part of "Resident Evil", right?" ”

"It should be filmed next year." Kang Jianfei nodded.

"Give me a role, you have to have the kind of play," He Chaoyi said and became excited, "Zombies are so cool, they are more like zombies and evil ghosts, how did you come up with it?" ”

Kang Jianfei sweated wildly, and most people only thought zombies were disgusting, and those who thought zombies were cool were basically those rebellious young people. He smiled and said, "Okay, when I write the script, I will add a character for you." ”

"It's still my brother-in-law who loves me the most, come and kiss one, wood!" He Chaoyi sat down and put his arm on Kang Jianfei's shoulder, and kissed his brother-in-law on the face with lightning speed.

When he was young, He Chaoyi looked pretty good, but Kang Jianfei didn't have much interest. Before the birth of the youngest daughter of the He family, this girl was the most painful daughter of the gambling king, if he dared to mess around, it was estimated that the gambling king would directly kill the door and ask for the crime.

Ho Chaoqiong also ignored her sister's overly intimate movements, she said: "Mr. Cha has decided to reduce his stake in Ming Pao Group by 20%, and if we can successfully acquire it, Oriental Media Group can become the largest shareholder of Ming Pao Group." ”

"So fast?" Kang Jianfei was a little surprised, "Is he ready to retire?" ”

"Maybe I'm a little disheartened," He Chaoqiong said, "Some time ago, Dong Qiao, the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, was poached and went to be the editor-in-chief of Apple Daily. ”

Dong Qiao, a well-known writer in Southeast Asia, has been friends with Kim Yong Kim since 20 years ago, and was invited to be the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao a few years ago. But it was such an old friend who had a disagreement with Kim Yong Kim's concept of running a newspaper, and even jumped to Apple Daily, which has no bottom line.

"After taking the stake in Ming Pao, Oriental Media can start to develop in Taiwan and Nanyang." Kang Jianfei said.

Unfortunately, it is the 90s, and the opportunity to enter the Western media market has been missed. In the 80s, there was a wave of acquisitions in the United States, whether it was a traditional company, a film company, a newspaper or magazine, or a record group.

Kang Jianfei bought Paramount at that time, and the Japanese people also waved banknotes to buy and buy in the United States. The most ruthless was Murdoch, the old man who bought all the newspapers he could buy in the United States, as well as a number of films, record labels and television stations.

Oriental media will definitely not be able to play in Europe and the United States, so it can only be based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, at least to encircle territory in these places.

Of course, what Kang Jianfei values most is the power of the Internet. Oriental Media will become a shareholder of Oriental Network Technology Company through the second round of financing before listing, and the Internet is the new future of the media industry.

……

In the newspaper the next day, film critics praised "Resident Evil" and called it a classic of Hong Kong-made science fiction films.

Of course, there are also people who are sour, because 99% of the whole film is English dialogue, which can hardly be said to be a Chinese-language movie, at most it can be regarded as a Hong Kong-made English film. Film critics criticized Kang Jianfei for taking the wrong path and trying to internationalize, while forgetting the origin of Hong Kong films.

Of course, Kang Jianfei could do Cantonese dubbing for the movie, but he didn't do it, mainly for the viewing experience. A story that happened abroad, if all spoken in Chinese is too weird.

Of course, the Taiwanese version must have Chinese dubbing, and the studios over there like to play like this.

The main films released at the same time during the Christmas season are "Chariots of Fire", "Ten Brothers", "Hagen", "Servant 2", "Angry Sea Dragon" and so on.

Among them, Yongsheng's "Chariots of Fire" is more powerful, with a box office of more than 10 million in the first week. Newcomer Yongqi Leung became popular because of this film and became a rising star in Hong Kong, and among the several young actresses supported by the company, she has developed the most smoothly.

"Ten Brothers" is also not bad, this film is a Taiwan-funded film, starring Hao Shaowen, a little kid, with a box office of more than 4 million in the first week.

As for the rest of the films, they all hit the streets, and none of them even broke 2 million at the box office in the first week. Yuan Bin finally managed to attract investment to make a "Angry Sea Weilong", and also asked his junior brother Yuan Biao to be the leading actor, and the star Yang Liqing to be the heroine, but the box office in the first week was only 1.2 million...... This film can sell for 1.5 million in Hong Kong, which is not enough to hire an actor's salary.

"Resident Evil" was released on the sixth day after the premiere, and it earned 13 million in the first week of the box office in four days. "Chariots of Fire", which had a good momentum, was instantly sluggish, and the box office plunged to only 5 million in the second week, a drop of more than 50%.

For the audience, they watched "Resident Evil" at this time, and they were even more surprised than watching "Mr. Zombie" back then, and the high-tech plus kung fu plus gunfight was really cool.

Half a month after its release, "Film Fortnightly" finally came out with a related film review: "After I was invited to the premiere, I always wanted to write an article about "Resident Evil". But I didn't understand some places, I watched it for the second time two days ago, and finally straightened out the plot of the movie......

This is a very successful Hong Kong commercial film, and the zombies are clearly inspired by zombies and vampires, but it is packaged with biochemical technology. Especially the part of the elevator accident, which is not lost to thriller horror movies at all...... Li Jiaxin walked out of the bathroom, full of drawers of guns, empty villas, frightened birds, and strong winds, as if she was the only one left alive in the world, these scenes shaped the atmosphere extremely weird and terrifying. If Mr. Kang Jianfei were to make a horror movie, I would definitely contribute a movie ticket......

"Resident Evil" can be said to have created a new genre of films, let's call it a zombie movie. Magical imagination and steady narrative rhythm build a complete sci-fi world. I want to say that the highlight should be in the second part, and the suspense left at the end of this film is really itchy, I am afraid that Kang Jianfei will dig a hole like before. ”

Paramount also invested in the film, and at the same time as it was released in Hong Kong, "Resident Evil" also met North American audiences during the Christmas season. (To be continued.) )
