Taiping Theatre, the premiere of "Once Upon a Time".

After the interactive session, Kang Jianfei leaned back in his seat and said nothing. The lights in the theater dimmed, Guan Zhilin quietly held his hand and asked, "Brother Fei, are you unhappy today?" ”

"Things at work." Kang Jianfei said casually.

He Chaoqiong has now been placed under house arrest by the He family because he revealed the intention of beating the child, and I have to say that He Hongsen is an old feudal and devout Catholic, and thinks that abortion is a great rebellion.

Kang Jianfei only came back from Macau this morning and bought a 21% stake in Macau TV at a price of 18 million Hong Kong dollars, and the TV station is already planning to go on the star.

In addition to talking about business, Kang Jianfei was also invited to a meal by He Hongsen, talking about the matter between him and He Chaoqiong.

The He family meant that they wanted them to marry their sons, and Kang Jianfei looked left and right about his perfunctory for a long time, explaining that he and He Chaoqiong were just drunk **, and they didn't have much affection for each other.

After He Hongsen's mention was politely rejected by Kang Jianfei, his face was so black that he could lower the ink, but fortunately, at this time, He Chaoqiong ran down from the upper floor and resolutely disagreed to marry Kang Jianfei, thus attracting most of the firepower.

But it's not a way to drag it out all the time, Kang Jianfei is now irritated by this, and he doesn't even have the heart to attend the movie premiere.

"Pride in the face of ten thousand waves

The blood is like the red sun

Courage is like iron and bones are like steel

Thousands of minds and long visions

I work hard to be a good man

To be a good man, you have to be self-reliant every day

A hot-blooded man, brighter than the sun

……”

The blood-boiling theme song sounded, and the audience in the theater unconsciously sat upright.

Liu Zhenwei was sitting with Chen Xunqi and Wang Jiawei at this time, this guy was after the collapse of Wuzhou Century Pictures. went to the Philippines to do business, but lost all the savings of many years of filmmaking, and now has joined Chen Xunqi's film studio as the assistant director of "Wounded City".

"The title of the film is "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", could it be that Kang Jianfei wants to make a "Huang Feihong" series?" Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but have this idea when he saw the title.

Among the Hong Kong films in recent years, the "Best Partner" series of New Arts City is very popular. And DreamWorks kept making a series of movies, the "Happy Ghost" series did not stop until the fifth part, the "Royal Sister" series also filmed three, the "True Colors of Heroes" series filmed two, and the "Mr. Zombie" series filmed two. It's definitely about making money and making it soft.

When it comes to the commercial operation of films, no one dares to say that DreamWorks ranks second, and Liu Zhenwei has been the general manager of Century Pictures for several years, and he is also quite impressed by this.

At the beginning of the film, "Once Upon a Time" is a traditional lion dance scene. However, the props and costumes are refreshing, and the movie art is more than one notch better than traditional kung fu films such as "Drunken Fist".

Later, the long shot of "Qingming Riverside Picture" in the teahouse. Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but applaud. That realistic style of footage is like turning back time by more than a hundred years.

"Hahaha......"

The audience erupted in laughter, and the ordinary audience behind them didn't think about Liu Zhenwei so much, as long as they watched it well, they laughed out loud when they encountered a funny plot.

And Guan Zhilin's dress is also quite amazing, the beauty of the combination of Chinese and Western has captured the hearts of countless male audiences.

"Well played. Kill these foreign devils! ”

Listening to the shouts in the theater, Shu Qi sighed: "Who said that kung fu movies are in decline, I'm afraid the box office of this "Huang Feihong" will not be low." ”

"It's different." Chen Bosen shook his head and said.

Shu Qi said: "Yes, the camera, soundtrack, and art have all been upgraded a notch. ”

"That's not all. Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" and "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" are just the same routine. The protagonist carries hatred, meets the Master, and finally defeats the villain to punish the evil and eliminate the evil. However, this "Huang Feihong" raises the grievances of the rivers and lakes to the level of the rise and fall of the country, and the style of the film is completely different. ”

Shu Qi thought for a while and smiled: "Not bad." ”

Compared with ordinary kung fu movies, "Once Upon a Time" does have a different style, it is not only a grievance between the rivers and lakes, but also a kind of family and country hatred in it. And the characters in it are also very rich, foreigners are not necessarily bad, and there are good people and priests who help Huang Feihong block guns, and the Chinese are also all kinds of infighting, numbness, and all kinds of characters are portrayed very vividly on the screen.

Ordinary audiences naturally don't analyze it like this, they just think it's good-looking, better than traditional monotonous kung fu movies. Especially the one where Huang Feihong and Yan Zhendong fought in the warehouse, the martial arts movements were chic and elegant, showing Li Lianjie's skills as a national martial arts champion to the fullest.

……

With the release of "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", this issue of "Film Fortnightly" also published a film review on this film: "This film unfolds the story with Huang Feihong as the center, and is confused and striving, persisting and innovating in the turbulent times of internal and external troubles. From point to point, from Bao Zhilin to Foshan and even the whole of China, it brought out the social situation at that time, forming a social cross-section, Yamen, Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army, the British, the Americans, the Shahe Gang, the militia group, missionaries, compradors, local and provincial martial artists, etc., all of which are intertwined and intertwined, depicting the picture of modern Chinese history in Tsui Kekang's heart...... Different from the grievances of traditional kung fu films, "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is quite chivalrous and has the meaning of being a great man for the country and the people.

It is worth mentioning that Ren Shiguan, the actor who played Yan Zhendong in the film, was originally a veteran martial artist of Yuan Jiaban. Just to shoot a good piece of "Huang Feihong", Kang Jianfei personally visited and invited Ren Shiguan to join the Kang family class. The bamboo ladder battle between Ren Shiguan and Li Lianjie in the warehouse can be called a classic ...... in kung fu action scenes"

Whether it's a classic or not, the box office is the best evidence.

"Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" was released in the Oriental Cinema Line, and several theaters of the Yindu Cinema Line were also rented, and there were 27 cinemas as soon as it was released, and the box office was close to 3 million on the first day of the film, and the box office was as high as 13.58 million in the first week.

Cheng Long's Boxing Film Company was also changed to Weihe Film Company this year, and "Police Story" is its entrepreneurial work, but the heroine has changed from Lin Qingxia to Hu Huizhong - Hu Huizhong was invited to star in order to make box office in Taiwan.

In order to avoid Kang Jianfei's movie, Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long discussed and decided to stagger the release time of "Police Story" and "Huang Feihong" by more than half a month.

The hard collision with "Huang Feihong" is "Summer Lucky Star", which is starring Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, and Cen Jianxun, and wants to continue the high box office of "Five Lucky Stars".

The release date of "Summer Lucky Star" was one week earlier than "Once Upon a Time", with a box office of 12.52 million in the first week, and in the second week, due to hitting "Once Upon a Time" to grab the audience, the box office fell to 7.45 million in a single week, which is a miserable situation.

It's even funnier on the side of Xinyi City, this summer file arrangement is led by Yu Yunhang's "Flying Tigers", under the attack of "Summer Lucky Star" and "Huang Feihong", the box office in the first week was only a pitiful 2.18 million, which can be said to be the extreme.

However, the Hollywood film "First Blood 2" has sprung up, led by Anle Cinema Line and screened in more than ten theaters, and got a high box office of 8.43 million in the first week.

Xinyicheng's "Flying Tiger" this time did not invest much, so it didn't lose much, but the Golden Princess Cinema that screened "Flying Tiger" lost a lot, with an average attendance rate of less than 3%, so angry that Lei Juekun almost vomited blood.

After only one week of release, "Flying Tiger" was urgently released, and it was replaced by Wen Jun's directorial debut "Anti-Fighting Love". The reputation of this drama is not bad, but unfortunately under the attack of "Summer Lucky Star", "Huang Feihong" and "First Blood 2", the box office is not much better than "Flying Tiger", and it had to be released due to too low attendance after 9 days of screening.

"The new art city suffered Waterloo, and the summer films suffered setbacks one after another." -- "Daily Express".

"Xinyicheng suffered a loss in the first half of the year, and the company is making a layoff plan." -- Hong Kong Economic Weekly

"The Golden Princess Cinema Line is difficult to maintain, and Lei Juekun plans to sell some of the cinemas." -- Sing Tao Daily.

The summer vacation has just begun, and major newspapers have begun to report negative news about the Golden Princess and Xinyicheng.

is mainly due to Kang Jianfei, although this year's New Art City in the original time and space is not good, it is at least supported by the licensed studio and Gao Zhisen's "Happy Ghost 2". But now Xu Ke's studio is affiliated with DreamWorks, "Happy Ghost" has already been filmed by Kang Jianfei, Gao Zhisen was also poached by Pan Disheng, and Xinyicheng can only compete for the summer file with a few bad movies.

"Summer Lucky Star" was painted three weeks after its release, and this movie, which was supposed to have a box office of more than 28 million, was squeezed by "Huang Feihong" and only got more than 23 million box office.

In fact, "Summer Lucky Star" still has box office potential, but in order to make room for Cheng Long's "Police Story", it can only be painted a few days early.

It's a pity that the box office table of "Police Story" is not as good as "Summer Lucky Star", at this time "Once Upon a Time" and "First Blood 2" have been released for half a month, and the box office of the two blockbusters has begun to show signs of weakness, but the box office of "Police Story" in the first week is only 9.18 million.

However, the reputation of "Police Story" is much better than that of "Summer Lucky Star", and almost everyone who watched this movie praised Cheng Long's transformation from a kung fu movie to a modern action movie, and it was also declared a complete success because of this movie.

"Once Upon a Time: Lingyun Ambition" won the weekly box office championship for two consecutive weeks, and several fights in the film can be called classics, some people say that Kang Jianfei's "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in his early years was just an experiment, and this "Huang Feihong" is a mature work of a new school of kung fu films.

Several class owners of the Yuan family class praised the action design of this film, but Liu Jialiang criticized it for nothing in an interview with reporters: "Huang Feihong is the grandmaster of Southern Boxing, how can he fight and fly around like in the film?" I don't know kung fu at all when making kung fu movies, this Kang Jianfei is a layman ...... at all" (to be continued...... RT
