The Hong Kong media's evaluation of Kang Jianfei is becoming more and more polarized.

Because of his preference for the mainland government's position and penchant for flamboyance, some people think that Kang Jianfei is a shameless bastard with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet; Some people also regard Kang Jianfei as a genius, because he has made great achievements in music and movies, and even became the richest man in Hong Kong.

When the news that "Truman's World" won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes reached Hong Kong, many newspapers reported and reprinted it, saying that it was another step forward for Hong Kong films to go global. However, some newspapers scoffed at this, and brushed off the news of the award in a sour tone, holding on to Kang Jianfei, Zhong Chuhong, and Lan Jieying's "inappropriate" behavior in Cannes, thinking that they had lost the face of Hong Kong filmmakers.

Public opinion in Taiwan was also in an uproar, and dozens of Taiwan reporters flew to Hong Kong to interview Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao.

Xu Ke's "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" was filming at a critical time, and those Taiwanese reporters inquired about the filming location of the crew, and they flocked over, making Xu Ke tired of it.

Kang Jianfei and James? The news that Cameron is about to co-produce a new film doesn't know where it came from. This time it was really not Kang Jianfei's intention to hype, Cameron just returned to the United States to invite a few paleontologists and botanists, and then pulled people from digital companies to design dinosaur images. And Kang Jianfei is also still thinking about casting, the production cycle of this movie is at least one year or more, and the publicity work is not in a hurry.

But the powerful reporter still got the news, and the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao" was the first to break the news: "James, an international director who has directed the "Terminator" series of movies? Cameron arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago. It is reported that the purpose of Cameron's trip is to discuss the shooting plan of the new film with Kang Jianfei, and the two may cooperate to shoot a special effects blockbuster. ”

Originally, Kang Jianfei was concerned by the Hong Kong media because of the news of winning the award in Cannes. Another group of Taiwanese reporters followed him all day long to interview him. Now that the news of cooperating with Cameron on a new film was suddenly exposed, Kang Jianfei once again became the headline of the entertainment pages of major newspapers.

Not only reporters, but also within the Oriental Entertainment Agency, there are many agents who inquire through various channels, hoping that the actors in their hands can get a role in Kang Jianfei's new film.

Until one night, Kang Jianfei spent the night at Zhou Huimin's place, and Zhou Huimin also asked about the new film, and it turned out that someone had gone to her to entrust her with a relationship. Kang Jianfei finally couldn't bear it. The preliminary publicity plan for "Jurassic Park" was launched, and at the same time, the exact information was gradually revealed through the "Daily Daily".

"This newspaper has exclusive news, Mr. Kang Jianfei confirmed the rumors of cooperation with Cameron. Claims that the new film is a sci-fi blockbuster. ”

Kang Jianfei and Cameron collaborated on a new film called "Jurassic Park", and the script was written by Hollywood screenwriter Michael? Clayton, DreamWorks defeated six Hollywood studios to buy the rights to the film from Clayton for a whopping $3.6 million. ”

Jurassic Park has a budget of HK$400 million (US$50 million). Set a new record for Hong Kong-made blockbusters. ”

“……”

One news after another was published by the "Daily Daily". It instantly shocked the eyes of countless people. Even the reporters who came to Hong Kong to interview Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao turned their attention to Kang Jianfei's new film, wanting to find out what kind of movie can be made with a sky-high budget of 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Last year, the total annual box office of Vientiane and Debao was less than 400 million Hong Kong dollars (including overseas box office), and Kang Jianfei now spent 400 million to make a film!

Kang Jianfei is crazy!

This was the first reaction of Hong Kong insiders.

In the new issue of Next Magazine, "Next Magazine sarcastically said: "Winning a jury prize in Cannes, someone is so arrogant that they don't know what to say, once a special effects blockbuster with an investment of 400 million yuan hits the streets, the film company will face a devastating blow." God wants it to perish. It must be made crazy first, and the international health is currently in a state of madness. It's not far from extinction. ”

"Next Magazine" suffered a lot of damage after the resignation of a large number of reporters, and Kang Jianfei did not continue to bite the bullet, after all, it is not a light to deal with reporters in secret. But Li Zhiying did not have the slightest intention of repenting, and the rhetoric of "Next Magazine" was still extremely sharp, and even in order to fill the shortcomings of the paparazzi, the editor wrote the article more viciously to attract readers.

Regarding the second provocation of "Next Magazine", Kang Jianfei was too lazy to bother with him, and directly announced the ban on "Next Magazine": "Next Magazine is listed as an unpopular media and its reporters are prohibited from entering Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City for interviews, and Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group and its artists and activities are also not interviewed by Next Magazine. ”

In another time and space, Li Zhiying was also regarded as a mad dog by many people, and Shao Yifu's TVB TV station was smeared many times, and he couldn't bear to ban Next Digital.

"Next Magazine" was worried that it couldn't find hot news, and Kang Jianfei's ban order was in the hands of Li Zhiying, and a special issue was published to oppose Kang Jianfei's ban order: "A certain Mr. Kang is worthy of growing up in a dictatorship, he is just the owner of a film company, and he can't tolerate the slightest dissident voice, and wants to ban a legitimate media outlet." One can imagine what a terrible society Hong Kong would become if such people were allowed to run Hong Kong...... The prospect of a return to 97 is worrying. ”

Well, it's just an entertainment banning order, but it was actually transferred by "Next Magazine" to the return of 97 and the future of Hong Kong, and there are really a lot of talents under the surname Li.

Kang Jianfei found that he had nothing to do with this mad dog, whether he could win the lawsuit or not, "Next Magazine" would definitely use this lawsuit to hype. What kind of assassination and intimidation methods are even more unworkable, because Li Zhiying is a celebrity and rich businessman, and he also has friendships with some officials of the British government in Hong Kong, and Kang Jianfei will also cause a commotion if something happens to him.

Kang Jianfei only discovered at this time that the cultural hooligan like Ni Frame is actually very cute, and the real hateful thing is a money hooligan like Li Zhiying.

……

"400 million Hong Kong dollars is only to make a movie, and I don't know the Hong Kong film industry anymore," Shao Yifu put down the newspaper with emotion and asked, "Tianlin, did you say that it was a mistake to reopen Shaw Brothers?" This is no longer our time. ”

Wang Tianlin moved his fat body with difficulty, leaned on the armrest of the sofa and said, "It's the sixth brother, your heart is old." ”

"yes, I'm old." Shao Yifu smiled bitterly.

The Shao family's film industry was destroyed by the Japanese army, and Shao Yifu was 51 years old when he rebuilt the Shaw Brothers Company in Hong Kong, and re-started his business at the age of more than half a hundred, laying the foundation for Shaw Brothers Films in Hong Kong for 30 years.

But now, Shao Yifu is really old, his heart is old, and he can't see the world of young people clearly.

Shaw Brothers has not produced any works in recent years, and occasionally invests in one or two small-budget films, from producers, directors, screenwriters to actors, all of whom are employees of TVB. These are all petty fights, and they can't make waves when they are thrown into the film market, and they have already achieved the expected goal if they can make a small profit.

Several large-scale leading theaters under the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line were originally leased to Kang Jianfei, but now that the 8-year lease is almost over, Shao Daheng finally moved the idea of reviving Shaw Brothers.

In other words, Shao Yifu's obsession with movies has never been let go, and the prosperity of Hong Kong films in recent years has tempted him to return to the film industry. Seeing that the lease of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line was approaching, Shao Yifu finally couldn't bear to be lonely, and found his old buddy Wang Tianlin to discuss the reopening of Shaw Brothers.

Wang Tianlin used to have great power in TVB, but in the past few years, he has been overshadowed by Fang Yihua, occasionally filming one or two TV series and eating together.

The reason why Shao Yifu asked Wang Tianlin to discuss the reopening of the Shaw Clan was not only because of his ability, but also because Wang Tianlin had a son named Wang Jing.

Wang Jing has already ranked among the first-line best-selling directors in Hong Kong, and what is even more commendable is that he can use a small amount of money to make a bad movie that can make money in a very short time. Shao Yifu just fell in love with Wang Jing's special ability, and wanted to use Wang Tianlin's relationship to pull Wang Jing back to Shaw Brothers to make a film.

Wang Tianlin has been in TVB for several years, and there is not much friendship left between him and Shao Yifu, so he smiled and said: "Ah Xiangna said." ”

Shao Yifu bowed slightly, he naturally heard the meaning of Wang Tianlin's words, and said: "Shaw Brothers definitely can't use the previous set, I will pay him the director according to the market when making movies, and ensure that Ah Xiang will not suffer." ”

"The sixth brother has always done things fairly, and I will tell him about it when Ah Xiang comes home." Wang Tianlin said with a smile.

Wang Jing soon learned about this on the phone, and heard that the Shaw Brothers were going to invite him back to film, Wang Jing thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and after reacting to what was going on, he immediately called Kang Jianfei to report the news.

"Tycoon Shao is ready to make a comeback?" Kang Jianfei laughed dumbly when he heard this, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The lion is old, the claws are no longer sharp, and now it is the world of young male lions.

Compared with the signal of Shaw Brothers' return to the film industry, Kang Jianfei is more concerned about the expiration of the contracts of several large theaters leased to him by Shaw Brothers, and the Oriental Cinema Line must invest in building new theaters to replace them.

But this is also very easy to solve, anyway, Kang Jianfei is not short of money now.

Moreover, the few Shaw Brothers theaters rented are outdated, and the trend of the future is modern multiplex cinemas. Even if Shaw Brothers does not take back the theaters, Kang Jianfei will replace and rebuild all the cinemas under the Oriental Cinema Line in the next few years.

"Brother Fei, Director Cameron sent a fax just now, I hope you can take a look." Li Meifeng hugged Wen Jiàn and came in.

Kang Jianfei opened the text and took a look, James? Cameron sent more than a dozen dinosaur design drawings, which is his biggest achievement in recent times. u
