On the Taiwan side, because of the death of "President" Chiang, they made a fuss for a month, and the successor Li Mou, who had been decided long ago, stabilized the situation. At this time, the first batch of Taiwan veterans who returned to the mainland had already set off for Hong Kong to fly to the mainland, thus opening up open nongovernmental exchanges between the two sides of the strait.

In order to win the support of more people, Taiwan's "new president" Li chose to further open up his politics to the outside world. Taiwan's "Information Bureau" finally loosened the ban on Kang Jianfei in substance, and on the first day of the Golden Globe Awards presented by the United States, Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia flew to Taipei.

"Rain Man" received a total of four Golden Globe nominations, and finally won two awards for Best Actor and Best Picture, and then received eight Oscar nominations.

If you want to win an Oscar, you can't wait, you have to get the judges to have a good impression of your film beforehand. In the '80s, if you wanted a film to win the Oscar jury and end up being nominated or even won, you had to spend at least a few million dollars on lobbying firms to lobby the jury.

Kang Jianfei has spent $5 million in lobbying fees in order to make "Rain Man" hit the Oscars, but it seems that the effect is significant so far. Receiving eight nominations is already worth the price, even if "Rain Man" can't win the award in the end, the popularity of its eight Oscar nominations has still increased by at least one or two million dollars at the global box office, plus the increase in sales of cassettes and soundtracks, at least not a loss in terms of input and output. If you can get one or two big prizes, you'll make a lot of money.

By the time Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia landed at Taipei Airport, the North American screening of "Rain Man" had ended, and the North American box office totaled more than $172 million, making it the annual box office champion of the 1987 North American film (the second place was the comedy "Three Dads and One Baby" produced by Universal Pictures, which grossed $167 million).

Anne, the producer of "Rain Man"? Hurd, director Barry? Leyson and the main character, Dustin? Hoffman, Tom? Cruise, who became famous for this film, Tom? Cruise also successfully lost the hat of a milky star and became a powerful actor accepted by the public.

As for Kang Jianfei, the behind-the-scenes investor, because of Paramount's deliberate publicity. It is also known to many people. At least after "Rain Man" won the annual box office championship, its investors became Paramount's owners, which immediately made Paramount's stock rise a little.

James? Cameron immediately announced that he was preparing to shoot "Terminator 2" (the production was still Oriental Film Company), and asked ILM for help with computer special effects, while Paramount was also planning to produce "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost Love".

These three films, "Pretty Woman" may be released this Christmas if the filming goes well. The other two won't be released until at least next summer.

The huge success of "Rain Man" at the box office attracted the attention of studios around the world, but it was not until after the Oscars that Kang Jianfei negotiated the price with those studios.

And here in Hong Kong, it may be affected by the aftermath of the stock market crash, or it may be because "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not liked by older audiences. The box office of this phenomenal film in Hong Kong is only 32.88 million, which is 9 million less than the box office of Kang Jianfei's last "Fang Fang".

Even so, the box office of 31.88 million still makes "My Sassy Girlfriend" the champion film of the Christmas file.

DreamWorks will release "Shushan 2" carefully created by Xu Ke in the New Year's file, this sequel still stars He Jiajin and Li Saifeng, and the high box office of 34.76 million has basically achieved the expected goal, you must know that the first part of "Shushan" got a box office of more than 38 million in Hong Kong.

The only unexpected gain of "Shushan 2". is Xu Jinjiang, who is the villain, is famous, and there are actually some fans of Xu Jinjiang.

Whether it's Christmas or New Year, the Hong Kong film market is dominated by DreamWorks films. However, in the subsequent Spring Festival, the competition was a little fierce, Golden Harvest Pictures' "Flying Dragon Warrior", Vientiane Pictures' "Eight Star Annunciation", and DreamWorks "Once Upon a Time 2" were released at the same time, and the battle was suddenly dark.

By the time of the Spring Festival, Hong Kong citizens had recovered from the stock market crash and were happily celebrating the New Year. Watching a movie is naturally one of the traditional celebrations.

"Flying Dragon" is directed by Hong Jinbao and starring Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and Dexian, just by the names of their three brothers, they can attract countless kung fu fans; "Eight Star Annunciation" was written by Huang Baiming himself, directed by Johnny To, with Chow Runfa , Alan Tam , Huang Baiming , Jacky Cheung , Zhong Chuhong , Wen Bixuan , Feng Baobao and Zheng Yuling eight stars starring, just looking at the cast can scare people to death. Big cast in the absolute sense of the word.

Although the script of "Huang Feihong 2 Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was written by Kang Jianfei, after being filmed by Wang Jing, the overall style has the flavor of Wang's comedy, but the tone of this film has not changed yet. Li Lianjie, Guan Zhilin, Mo Shaocong and Liang Xiaolong are all good in the film. The movement design of the yellow shrimp has been influenced by Kang Jianfei over the years, and it has had its own merits with another big bull, Yuan Heping.

How to say it, Wang Jing's "Once Upon a Time 2" is a little less strict than the original film and a little more playful and humorous, but it is finally chivalrous and righteous, and the fight scenes are very different from the original film.

The three films fought each other during the Spring Festival, and unexpectedly and reasonably enough, Huang Baiming's new company Vientiane Pictures' desperate work "Eight Star Annunciation" actually succeeded in killing "Flying Dragon General" and "Huang Feihong 2", and led the box office all the way from the beginning of its release.

After the Lantern Festival, the three films were painted one after another, "Eight Stars Annunciation" ranked first with a box office of more than 36.85 million, and "Flying Dragon Warrior" and "Huang Feihong 2" won 30.87 million and 30.2 million box office respectively.

In the same period, there are actually three films that grossed more than 30 million at the same time, a result that has made many investors outside the circle red, and it also shows that the Hong Kong film market has further prospered and has not been affected by the stock market crash a few months ago.

Of course, another impact of the box office of the three movies breaking 30 million is that the other films released at the same time as these three movies - all hit the streets!

Pan Gong, who is ambitious to become a giant in the Hong Kong film industry, not only was his elaborate romantic comedy crushed by "My Sassy Girlfriend" at Christmas, but Debao's other comedy released during the Spring Festival only sold more than 4 million at the box office because it was robbed of the audience by three blockbusters.

A movie sold more than 4 million during the Spring Festival, which means that there are basically few audiences in the entire theater chain, Pan Disheng is not only a movie on the street, but his Debao theater also lost money during the Spring Festival, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Also depressed are Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong of Xinbao Cinema Line, as well as Zeng Zhiwei of Good Friends Film Company, they also want to get a piece of the Spring Festival file, and the result can be imagined.

However, Mecca and Shi Tian of Xinyicheng were lucky, because of unexpected reasons, the movie that Xinyicheng was originally going to release during the Spring Festival changed the schedule with "Eight Star Annunciation", which was originally released in the New Year, just to avoid the risk of fighting with several fierce films, and it was worthy of receiving more than 16 million box office.

"Ming Pao Weekly" chose Kang Jianfei and Huang Baiming as the cover characters this time, saying that Huang Baiming was reborn from the ashes, while Kang Jianfei was soaring.

Huang Baiming played really beautifully this time, quit Xinyicheng to found Vientiane Pictures, almost no one was optimistic about him, but he made a Spring Festival champion movie for Huang Baiming.

Kang Jianfei's DreamWorks is even more terrifying, with three consecutive films all exceeding 30 million at the box office, and it is undoubtedly the most profitable film company in Hong Kong.

As for Kang Jianfei becoming the second largest shareholder of Paramount Pictures, he has already jumped out of the small quagmire of Hong Kong and ran to compete with the Hollywood giants to eat.

Even the Right-leaning JCI Hong Kong Federation couldn't sit still this time, and began to discuss internally whether to send this year's Top Ten Outstanding Young Men of Hong Kong to Kang Jianfei.

At this moment, Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia have come to Taipei, and the people who picked up the airport are Lin Fengjiao and Yu Huanping.

Since Lin Fengjiao followed Kang Jianfei, she felt that she was tired of filming, so she simply retired, anyway, she didn't have to worry about her future life.

Yu Huanping is already the general manager of the Taiwan branch of Oriental DreamWorks, and after being banned by the Taiwan authorities, he became Taiwan's ** director. Under Kang Jianfei's secret investment, Yu Huanping has also made several art films in Taiwan over the years, and the box office has been good and bad, but it is still a small loss overall.

In order to lift the blockade order, Yu Huanping and Lin Fengjiao were busy running during this time, but unfortunately the chaotic political situation in Taiwan was destined to be ignored by no one during this time.

Taiwan's current "Information Bureau" Shao Yu-ming, who used to be a scholar and professor, was also the director of the Research Institute of Taiwan's National Chengchi University before becoming the director of the Information Bureau. This person is very cautious, since he became the Information Bureau last year, he has been busy with propaganda affairs on the island, and it is impossible to lift Kang Jianfei's ban order. If Kang Jianfei is a small actor, it is good to say, few people will pay attention to it whether it is blocked or not, but Kang Jianfei now has a huge international influence, and Shao Yuming does not dare to go on any business trip at a special time.

"Director Shao didn't come forward, as if he had some scruples, he was too cautious as an official," Yu Huanping said as soon as he saw Kang Jianfei, "Deputy Director Zhang of the Information Bureau promised to have a meal together the night after tomorrow, and the matter was basically resolved." Now that President Li is shouting that he wants the government to open up, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Kang's ban order is lifted. ”

"Lao Yu, you've worked this, and you've been running for more than half a year." Kang Jianfei thanked.

Yu Jiping said with a smile: "I don't work hard, I just contact people occasionally, and Miss Lin has also helped a lot." ”

Lin Fengjiao used to film in a film company, and she knew more official characters than Lin Qingxia, who was filming everywhere, and she helped match the match, which could indeed make Yu Huanping get twice the result with half the effort.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said to Lin Fengjiao: "Fengjiao, I have worked hard for you too." ”

Lin Fengjiao smiled indifferently: "I'm just helping to make a few phone calls, let's get in the car first." ”RI
