Regarding Kang Jianfei's upcoming cooperation with Cameron to make a sci-fi blockbuster, in addition to the cynicism of some media and the shock of insiders, there is another opinion.

Countless fans and fans of "Tomb Robbery Notes", when they learned the news about the new film "Jurassic Park", they had only one thought: what about the pit dad! said that the good "Tomb Robbery Notes" will make a sequel, where is the sequel after more than a year? It's enough to shoot a "Truman's World" without doing business, and now there are thousands of sci-fi blockbusters, is there such a pit that can't be dug or buried?

For these people, they don't care how many women they see, and they don't care how many billions Kang Jianfei's new film budget is, they just want to see the sequel to "Tomb Robbery Notes".

In just one week, Kang Jianfei received hundreds of letters from fans, hoping that he would give up the filming plan of "Jurassic Park" and remake the long-awaited "Tomb Robbery Notes 2".

Not only that, the fan club of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" also organized and went to the gate of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to sit-in and petition. Kang Jianfei, who learned the news, couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only persuade the fans to go back in person, and said that he had been planning the sequel to "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and filming would start in the second half of the year at most, although he was not the director of the sequel, but he would serve as a producer to ensure the quality of the sequel.

The "Tomb Raider Notes" fan club started as a book club, but when "Tomb Raider Notes" was made into a movie, many fans joined in, and it became a large fan group with more than 2,000 members.

Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City has entertainment reporters squatting all day long, and this scene that happened at the gate was naturally filmed by reporters and reported in the entertainment edition as a strange thing.

I have never heard of film companies making a sequel to a movie in order to make money, which has attracted a scolding from the audience. But it was the first time I encountered the audience crying and shouting. Organizing a petition to ask the film company to make a sequel, it's the exact other way around.

The editor of The New Newspaper commented: "Kang Jianfei is a person who likes freshness, just as he is constantly dating new beauties. The same is true of director Kangda's attitude towards films. No matter how popular the first movie was, he never made a sequel himself. Movies such as "Happy Ghost", "Mr. Zombie", "Royal Sister", and "Wong Fei Hung" are nothing more than that, and Kang Jianfei threw the sequel shooting work to other directors after filming. Even the global hit "Home Alone", he directly sold the sequel rights to 20th Century Fox.

Kang Jianfei's liking of the new and hating the old is a major factor in his success, and he does not dwell on the past achievements and does not know what to say, but constantly tries new things. Nowadays, more and more films are shot in Hong Kong every year, but there are fewer and fewer new ideas, and constant repetition has become a routine ......"

Well, it was originally evaluating the "Tomb Robbery Notes" fan group petition incident. was stubbornly ripped off by "New Newspaper" for the shoddy production of Hong Kong films. It seems that there have been more and more bad movies made in Hong Kong in the past two years, which has made people accumulate extremely deep resentment, and they have to complain when they have an opportunity.

However, Kang Jianfei has a headache, in the end, he wants to direct "Tomb Robbery Notes 2", after all, he can't break his promise to fans.

In the whole of Hong Kong, there are many people who have the ability to take over the filming of "Tomb Robbery Notes 2", the older generation such as Hu Jinquan , Li Hanxiang, and the new generation has John Woo , To Qifeng , Chen Jiashang , Xu Ke and so on. These people's directing skills are absolutely passable, although it is possible that they have not made fantasy adventure films, as long as they are provided with sufficient funds and manpower. I'm sure I'll be able to make a movie that is above the standard.

First of all, they had to choose among the signed directors of Oriental Entertainment Agency, so Wu Yusen, To Qifeng and others were eliminated directly, and finally Kang Jianfei locked his eyes on Xu Ke and Ang Lee.

Xu Ke has other shooting tasks in the second half of the year. Then only Ang Lee remains.

However, in view of Ang Lee's bad deeds of making superhero films literary and artistic, Kang Jianfei felt that he had to exercise the power of producer well. As long as he controls the rhythm of the whole film, maybe Ang Lee's literary style will bring unexpected surprises to "Tomb Robbery Notes 2".

"Knock knock!"

"Come in."

Kang Jianfei looked down at the photos on the table, there were more than 100 of them, all of which were beautiful islands.

After Kang Jianfei's adaptation, the story of the first part of "Jurassic Park" takes place on an island in Asia. Kang Jianfei took a team of 10 people to go to the East Indies to select the scene, and after more than half a month of hard work, all the photos of the island were finally screened out here by Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei picked out the photos of several small islands he liked. Write them down in a notebook, and in a few days he will go to the field to observe. Ultimately, you can decide which island to choose for shooting.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Kang Jianfei put down the photo and raised his head. He smiled, "Please be seated." ”

The person who came was Jiang Zhiqiang, the general manager of Oriental Cinema Company, and after he sat down, he got down to business directly: "I just talked to Pan Dickson, he still intends to sell Debao Cinema Line, but the asking price is too high, and there is a side requirement to package and sell Dickson Records to us." I can't decide this, only you can decide. ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "How much does he ask?" ”

Jiang Zhiqiang said: "He asked for 500 million, but I can't talk about 450 million, and I have to stuff Dickson Records as an add-on." ”

"As far as Dickson Records' broken company is concerned, 1 million is too expensive to sell to me." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but laugh.

Dickson Records, like Debao Film Company, is Pan Dickson's ticket work, and its most famous singer is Chen Baiqiang, but Chen Baiqiang has already signed with other companies. Now the only singer under Dickson Records is Kwong Meiyun, if it weren't for Kwong Meiyun who was still a little famous, the broken company would be worth 100,000 yuan at most.

As for the Debao Cinema Line, Pan Disheng has invested nearly 300 million yuan in it, and there are a total of 15 self-built and franchised theaters.

The Debao Cinema Line was originally rented into a converted cinema, and the remaining lease terms were of different lengths, and nearly half of them were advanced multiplex cinemas.

Kang Jianfei originally only planned to buy the best 7 of them, but Pan Disheng wanted to sell the entire theater chain together, and the asking price was ridiculously high.

"400 million is my bottom line, if Pan Gongzi still refuses to let go, then there is no need to waste words, we will immediately choose to build our own theater." Kang Jianfei said very simply, he didn't have to buy Debao Cinemas.

On the contrary, on the side of Debao Cinemas, because Pan Disheng no longer wants to engage in the film industry, he wants to sell movies, theaters and record companies, but now he is struggling to find someone to take over.

Although Hong Kong films are prosperous and there are more and more wealthy businessmen investing in films, this does not mean that there is a need to own film and cinema companies. The vast majority of financiers who invest in Hong Kong films are just to make money, they directly invest in specific directors or companies, and are not interested in opening their own companies.

Jiang Zhiqiang took the coffee made by Li Meifeng, took a sip slowly, and then said: "I also tend not to buy Debao Cinemas, because the layout of our Oriental Cinemas in Hong Kong is already very perfect, and what is missing is only the few points that Shaw Brothers Cinemas have withdrawn." ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Then build it yourself." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly said: "My eldest brother was diagnosed with a chronic disease in the hospital, and he can't be too tired in normal times, so he wants to hand over the Anle Cinema Line to me to manage." ”

"You're not going to resign from me, are you?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"I want Anle Cinemas to join Oriental Cinemas." Jiang Zhiqiang said. He is used to being the general manager of a large cinema chain like Oriental Cinema Line, how can he be willing to go back to run a small cinema chain with only 4 theaters.

"I welcome with my hands up!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile, if Jiang Zhiqiang left, it would be really difficult for him to find a suitable general manager of the theater chain for a while.

Shaw Brothers is preparing to return, Debao plans to close down, and Anle Pictures, which will monopolize the western distribution business in Hong Kong in the future, will change managers, which is also an eventful time in the Hong Kong film industry.

After Jiang Zhiqiang left, Li Meifeng walked into the office again and said, "Brother Fei, just now President Zhou of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency called you to find you. ”

"What's the matter?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Li Meifeng said: "There was a major flood in East China. ”

Kang Jianfei sighed speechlessly: It's really eventful. (To be continued) R655
