Time has blinked to July, although Cameron is in charge of the later stage of "Jurassic Park", Kang Jianfei, as a director, cannot ignore it, and flies to the United States from time to time to pay attention to the progress, and the final editing rights of the movie are also in his hands.

In comparison, Kang Jianfei saw Sophie Marceau in the United States much more times than Cameron many times, and the two even secretly went to Hawaii to play for a few days.

"Jurassic Park" will be completed at least at the end of July, and it will definitely be too late to catch up with the summer season in the United States, because there is no time to schedule the film, so it can only be screened at the end of this year.

During this time, Kang Jianfei didn't just care about playing, first went to attend the finals of the King of Fighters World Championship, then went to Taipei to cheer for Zhou Huimin's concert, and then returned to Hong Kong to attend the Miss Oriental finals.

This year's Miss Hong Kong and Miss Oriental beauty pageants did not respond very well, mainly because the quality of the pageants was not high. Miss Hong Kong champion Lu Shuyi and sister champion Feng Meiying, they have a big gap compared with the previous champion, and they are beautiful, but they don't make people feel bright.

After participating in the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals, Kang Jianfei went north to Beijing non-stop, and he was accompanied by Zou Wenhuai and other Hong Kong filmmakers.

Due to the chief's southern tour at the beginning of the year, the political trend in the mainland has finally been decided, and the relatively sensitive content of the previous two years has been brought back for discussion, including the proposal to introduce Hong Kong films.

After a week-long meeting, a document entitled "Ten Outstanding Hong Kong-made Films Introduction Scheme" was approved, that is, 10 Hong Kong films are allowed to be released on the mainland in the form of a split account every year.

These 10 films must be reviewed by the relevant departments in the mainland, and the rules on account sharing are very strict, and the Hong Kong producer can only get 16 box office, and the rest is owned by various units in the mainland.

There are still some things that are not written in the text, that is, among the 10 Hong Kong films per year, DreamWorks produces at least 5 or more. This is something that originally belonged to DreamWorks, and it is a reward for Kang Jianfei's support for the mainland, but it was interrupted for a while in the past two years due to wind direction problems.

The quota of the remaining 5 films will be divided by other film companies in Hong Kong, of which Golden Harvest will account for at least 3, and the quota is really pitiful.

For many film companies in Hong Kong, although the mainland's plan to introduce Hong Kong films is a good start. In terms of the current total box office, the mainland is far more than the Taiwan film market, and once it completely opens its mouth one day, it will be tantamount to another box office paradise beckoning to Hong Kong filmmakers.

At this moment, no one knows that the mainland box office market will shrink sharply in the next ten years, and both Zou Wenhuai and Wu Siyuan have unlimited expectations for entering the mainland.

……

Just when Kang Jianfei, Zou Wenhuai and others returned from Beijing, two major events happened in the Hong Kong film industry.

First, Huang Baiming and Luo Jiecheng officially broke up and separated, Huang Baiming united more than 20 movie theaters to form the Xincheng Cinema Company, and Hong Kong's big cinema line has one more. (In another time and space, the cinema chain established by Huang Baiming at this time was called Oriental Cinema, and his film company was also renamed Oriental Film Company)

Nowadays, there are too many cinemas in Hong Kong, and the new cinema chain led by Huang Baiming has undoubtedly muddied the water in the Hong Kong film industry. Except for Hong Kong, I am afraid that there is no place in the world where there is such a high density of nearly 200 cinemas and six or seven large cinema chains.

The second is that Shao Yifu Lao Ji Fu Fang, bypassing Shaw Brothers Pictures, in the name of Metropolitan Film Company, spent money to invite To Qifeng to be the director, Wang Jing to be the producer, and invited the popular stars such as Zhou Xingchi, Anita Mui, Wu Mengda and other stars to shoot "The Judge of the Dead".

With Shao Yifu's original plan, he wanted to use the directors, stars and other resources of TVB to make a comeback for Shaw Brothers Pictures. But Fang Yihua, who controlled the wireless station, did not cooperate with him at all, and the unwilling Shao Yifu simply bypassed Fang Yihua and the wireless station, and directly spent money to invite outsiders to film.

"The Judge of the Dead" detonated the box office as soon as it was released, and it took more than two months to screen before the film was released, collecting 49.88 million box office, directly breaking the Hong Kong box office record set by "Happy Family" during the Spring Festival.

Where the hell did this Metropolitan Film Company come from?

When the composition of the shares of the metropolis was clarified, people were surprised to find that the boss behind it was Shao Yifu, and Uncle Shao Liu, who once dominated the Hong Kong film industry, was back!

Shao Yifu is 85 years old this year, does he still want to make a comeback in the film industry and reproduce the glory of Shaw Brothers back then?

Major newspapers have praised Shao Yifu for his immortality, but Shao Yifu himself is very low-key and has never appeared in public from beginning to end.

Peninsula Tea Restaurant.

Shao Yifu took a sip of tea and sighed: "Tianlin, thanks to you running this time, otherwise "The Judge of the Dead" would not have been filmed at all." ”

"Sixth Uncle is polite, I'm just talking about it." Wang Tianlin said with a smile.

The producer of "The Judge of the Dead" is Wang Tianlin's son, and the director is Wang Tianlin's apprentice, and he really made a lot of efforts in it, so it can be said that the framework of the crew was built by Wang Tianlin.

Shao Yifu chatted with Wang Tianlin about some old things, and said with emotion: "When we used to make movies, it was great if the box office broke 1 million. Where can you imagine that now a movie can get 50 million box office, which is really a golden age of movies. ”

Wang Tianlin feasted on pineapple buns and said: "After all, it is the world of young people, and we are all old." ”

"Yes, after all, it's the world of young people." Shao Yifu whispered.

Although "The Judge of the Dead" broke the Hong Kong box office record, Shao Yifu did not have much joy. Because this movie is not produced by Shaw Brothers, he Shao Yifu is at most a film investor, and he didn't even sign the producer column, and directly wrote Fang Yihua's name on it (Metropolis is a company jointly established by Shaw Brothers and Wireless TV).

There is no successor in the film industry, and no matter how much the record is broken, it is just a flash in the pan, and he doesn't have so much energy to toss at his age, which is the biggest regret in Shao Yifu's heart.

"I heard that Kang Jianfei's movie with an investment of 400 million yuan is about to be released?" Shao Yifu asked.

Wang Tianlin said: "Just this month, it's almost over." ”

Shao Yifu suddenly smiled: "I want to see what a movie with a cost of 400 million can look like." ”

……

"What? Tycoon Shao is coming to the premiere of "Jurassic Park"? Kang Jianfei looked at Wang Jing in surprise.

Wang Fatzi nodded and said: "As my old bean said, after "The Judge of the Dead", Sir Shao should not make any more movies. ”

Sometimes people see through everything when they are old, and 10 years ago, Shao Yifu would never have come to hold Kang Jian's flying field. This time, "The Judge of the Dead" broke the Hong Kong box office record, and Shao Yifu regarded it as a perfect end to his film career, and went to attend the premiere of "Jurassic Park", which is not a handover ceremony in disguise, a spiritual encouragement to young Hong Kong filmmakers, and a good wish for the future of Hong Kong films.

Friday, August 14.

The second week after the screening of "The Judge of the Dead", the premiere of "Jurassic Park" was held at the Taiping Theater as scheduled.

This 400 million Hong Kong dollar film has attracted attention from all parties before it was filmed, and several waves of publicity have long been expected.

There was a crowd of people outside the Taiping Theater, and the appearance of one star after another murdered countless films of reporters.

Kang Jianfei stood at the door of the theater this time, warmly greeting every guest, until a No. 6 car arrived, and he suddenly stepped forward to greet him.

"Am I not mistaken? It's actually a No. 6 plate. ”

"It can't be Sir Shao."

"How could it be Tycoon Shao."

"The car stops, let's see who's coming down."

"It's Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing's father."

"There are still people, it's really Shao Tycoon!"

"Shao Tycoon is here to attend the premiere of Kang Jianfei's movie!"

“……”

The reporters lowered their heads and squeezed forward, and when they saw Shao Yifu get out of the car, they all let out a burst of exclamations.

Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome Sir Shao and Uncle Tianlin." ”

Shao Yifu held a cane in one hand and said with a smile: "I'll see Mr. Kang's masterpiece." ”

When the two men clasped hands together, the astute reporters immediately pressed the camera shutter to record the rare scene. R1152
