876 [Kang's Entertainment Empire in Expansion]

Wong Kar-wai was very depressed, and there were many things that made him depressed.

Two months ago, "East Evil and West Poison" was published in Shaanxi. Xiyulin was filmed well, and as a result, the crew and employees collectively prostituted. The prostitute was caught, which brought the whole crew to a halt. (The crew of "East Evil and West Poison" collectively prostitutes. The arrest of the prostitute was also written in detail in the Yulin City Chronicle, which is quite glorious and proud)

The stars of the crew, big and small, can't afford to delay, and don't have time to wait for those detained prostitutes. Ke, Leung Chaowei, Zhang Xueyou and others flew back to Hong Kong to shoot other films.

Just when Wong Kar-wai reconvened the actors to go to the mainland for filming, Zhang Manyu suddenly said that she couldn't go and asked Wong Kar-wai to wait for her for a month.

Well, after inquiring, I learned that Zhang Manyu was forcibly invited to Yonggao Company to make a film, and the company's boss Luo Jiecheng had a community background, Wong Kar-wai immediately withered, so he had to stay in Hong Kong and continue to wait.

is also depressed Liu Dehua, his salary has dropped from 10 million to 8 million, which is already depressed enough. Who knew that Yonggao's film contract was even more outrageous, only a salary of 5 million was offered, and Liu Dehua received a threatening letter the day after he refused.

In desperation, Liu Dehua had no choice but to call Cai Songlin, the owner of the scholar company, for help.

Tsai Songlin is an investor in Liu Dehua Tianmu Company, the Taiwanese distributor of Tianmu Company, and an investor in Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison".

Luo Jiecheng's use of coercive means to invite Liu Dehua and Zhang Manyu made Cai Songlin angry enough, and he directly called Xiang Huaqiang and asked Luo Jiecheng what the origin was.

Xiang Huaqiang has a good relationship with Luo Jiecheng, Yongsheng's movies were previously released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and later chose to cooperate with Luo Jiecheng to be released in Yonggao Cinemas.

Xiang Huaqiang also cooperates with Liu Dehua and Cai Songlin, for example, "500 Million Inspector Lei Luo" is the actor asked Liu Dehua to do, and Yongsheng Company's films also rely on Cai Songlin to sell them to Taiwan.

So I got entangled with the big guy, what is going on! Several partners have conflicts, and he has to mediate from them, and it is not good to go to that side.

Xiang Huaqiang had no choice but to make a peacemaker, Cai Songlin did not fly to Hong Kong due to busy affairs, and only Liu Dehua was present to make peace. Luo Jiecheng bit it to death and said that Cai Songlin didn't give him face, so he had to let Liu Dehua take a film for him, Xiang Hua was so angry that he slapped the table directly and scolded Luo Jiecheng.

In the face of Xiang Huaqiang's anger, Luo Jiecheng finally relented, and added 3 million to Liu Dehua's salary, but Zhang Manyu still held on.

Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong are good friends, and she hurriedly carried a gift to visit the pregnant Honggu. Zhong Chuhong couldn't save face, so he had to call Kang Jianfei to help solve it, Kang Jianfei said to Zhang Manyu very clearly: "You are not an artist of Oriental Entertainment Agency now, so I have no reason to stand up for you!" ”

The next day, Zhang Manyu signed into the Oriental Entertainment Agency, and the matter was resolved smoothly.

Although this matter was solved quickly, it had a great impact in the circle, and many well-known artists chose to join the Oriental Entertainment Agency in order to seek Kang Jianfei's protection.

Although Hong Kong films are on the decline, Kang Jianfei's Oriental Entertainment Group is thriving, whether it is making movies or being an artist agent, it is smoother than before.

Not only that, at the end of the summer file, Kang Jianfei also announced the establishment of Oriental Music Group Company. The company is a subsidiary of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, with six subsidiaries: Fengxing Records, Flying Records, UFO Records, Ai Hui Music, Haidie Music (Singapore) and Trend Music (South Korea), and Oriental Music Group is headquartered in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Hong Kong.

On the UFO record side, although Kang Jianfei has become the company's largest shareholder, he does not have an absolute controlling stake in it, and Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua still have a strong right to speak. Sea Butterfly Music is a Singapore record label that Kang Jianfei directly spent money to acquire, while Trend Music is a reorganization of the music department spun off from the Korean subsidiary of Oriental Group.

If you spread out the world map, you can clearly see that the Oriental Music Group includes East Asia and Southeast Asia, forming a complete regional network.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a strong shock in the Chinese music scene, and countless music producers, singers and record company owners were looking up to this behemoth that suddenly appeared.

The "Hong Kong Financial Daily", which has only been established for a few years, also deliberately took out the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group to make a special feature, which is called: "The Expanding Kang's Entertainment Empire".

"If there was a Shaw Brothers film kingdom in the 60s, then Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group can definitely support a big entertainment empire, and the territory of this empire is still expanding.

Fourteen years ago, a mainland boy came hungry and swam in the sea, and I am afraid that his pursuit at that time was just to be fed and clothed. No one could have imagined that the kid who played tricks on the set of Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay would become the richest man in Hong Kong today.

Kang Jianfei's career has grown from a film company to a large entertainment group. The ancient tribe gradually expanded into a trans-Eurasian Mongolian. The Great Ancient Empire.

Let's take a look at the composition of this empire:

Film and television production: Oriental DreamWorks, Oriental Television Advertising Company (Taiwan), Korean Entertainment Fashion Film and Television Company (South Korea), Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City

Media and Publishing: Phoenix TV, Macau Satellite TV, Oriental Media Group (under the jurisdiction of "Daily Daily", Oriental Publishing House, etc.)

Cinema distribution: Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company, Oriental Cinema Company (Hong Kong), Oriental Cinema Company (Taiwan), Oriental International Cinema (Mainland)

Animation and comics: Dark Horse Comics, Dark Horse Animation

Music Albums: Oriental Music Group (with six subsidiaries in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Singapore)

According to this newspaper's investigation, Kang Jianfei also invested in some other entertainment-related industries, such as Bei. Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company in Beijing, Oriental Film Company in Los Angeles, and Sega Games Company in Tokyo are not yet part of the Oriental Group.

In addition, Kang Jianfei has already mastered 15 shares of Ming Pao Group, and believes that one day in the future, Ming Pao Group will become part of Oriental Media.

These groups and companies are a powerful force that is linked and reinforcing each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest entertainment group in Asia.

Let's take a step-by-step analysis to see how this entertainment empire has grown and grown. In 1979, Kang Jianfei spent 803 yuan to ask a third-party agency to register a film company on his behalf, which later became Oriental DreamWorks ......"

The Hong Kong Financial Times report was a great success, and it unveiled the mystery of Oriental Entertainment Group for the first time. Even professionals in the entertainment industry and the media industry have seen the context of the Oriental Group completely for the first time, and finally can't help but feel a lot of emotion at this behemoth.

Wen Wei Po praised Kang Jianfei as "one of the most successful figures in the Chinese entertainment industry", and Cheng Pao also said: "Mr. Kang's entertainment industry layout is perfect, and his investment vision is unique, which is enough to compete with large European and American companies."

"Next Magazine" did not come out to black Kang Jianfei this time, but took the opportunity to launch the follow-up version of Kang Jianfei's scandal, and then exposed Kang Jianfei's various scandals to follow the hype and fight for sales. This time, Li Zhiying learned a lesson, and did not dare to report Kang Jianfei's illegitimate children again, but only repeatedly talked about various actresses, and even well-known actresses such as Zhang Manyu and Yang Ziqiong were said to be Kang Jianfei's underground lovers.

Kang Jianfei did not make any rebuttals, because as long as he spoke, whether he admitted or denied it, it would only help "Next Magazine" increase sales.

Zhang Manyu was afraid of upsetting her friend Zhong Chuhong, and said in an interview with reporters that she and Mr. Kang were just ordinary friends, and there was absolutely no ambiguity involved, and she was also ready to be the godmother of Zhong Chuhong's future children.

As soon as this interview came out, the major media outlets were high. It's tidal. Because Zhang Manyu said that she leaked her mouth in an interview, everyone knew that Zhong Chuhong was also pregnant with Kang Jianfei's illegitimate child.

As for Michelle Yang's statement, it was very ambiguous, she said: "I have a good impression of Mr. Kang, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Michelle Yeoh caught up with James Cameron two years ago, played several supporting roles in Hollywood, and only returned to Hong Kong to make films last year. She originally wanted to hook up with Cameron, but Lao Ka was not interested in Asian women, and the two failed to make any sparks in the end.

In the face of the surging public opinion, Kang Jianfei lived in seclusion and ignored it, but his newly established Oriental Music Group became popular, and many rookie singers who dreamed of becoming famous once wanted to sign a record company under this group. Some popular singers who have become famous, after the expiration of their contracts with the original company, give priority to the olive branch handed by the Oriental Music Group.

Under such circumstances, "The Sixth Sense" was released in Hong Kong in September, with a box office of 41.6 million in Hong Kong. There were a lot of 40 million at the Hong Kong box office last year, but this year, only one film starring Zhou Xingchi barely broke the 40 million mark, and now "The Sixth Sense" is the second part, firmly sitting on the throne of the annual box office.

In the face of the hot sale of "The Sixth Sense", other film companies didn't even feel red, because Kang Jianfei and them were not in the same world at all. Just change a director to shoot "The Sixth Sense", the box office can be 20 million, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will hit the street to the moon, and the Hong Kong box office of this movie is purely supported by Kang Jianfei's name.

In Taiwan, "The Sixth Sense" is still in theaters, and the box office has accumulated more than NT$46 million, and it is very promising to sell 60 million.

Plans for the release of "The Sixth Sense" in other regions have also been launched, with South Korea scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Singapore in October, and Malaysia, the Philippines and other places in November.

Kang Jianfei no longer asks about the box office of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", the child in Wen Bixia's belly has been born, and several other pregnant women will also be in labor, which is more attractive than the cold box office. R1152
