Kang Jianfei's trend is not only Tao Xun, when "Mr. Zombie" was released, the sales of ink fountains and glutinous rice in Hong Kong increased significantly, and the business of those Mr. Feng Shui also improved a lot. Other people don't know what Kang Jianfei thinks, but Mr. Feng Shui in Hong Kong still respects Director Kang very much.

In the summer of 1980, the Hong Kong film industry was the world of "Mr. Zombie".

This film has become popular with several people, the first is Lin Zhengying. For ordinary audiences, Lin Zhengying's fame is not even lower than Kang Jianfei's, because he is the hero of this movie.

followed by Li Saifeng, several crews rushed to invite her to filming, and finally Kang Jianfei picked two scripts for her that were not too bad, with a salary of 150,000 yuan for each script. Zhao Yazhi's salary has only recently risen to 250,000, and Li Saifeng's salary is already the price of a quasi-first-line actress.

followed by Lou Nanguang and Xu Guanying, Xu Guanying is used to acting in comedies, and her fame is not small, this time it is the icing on the cake. But Lou Nanguang is purely a newcomer, and suddenly became a well-known supporting actor, and the salary for the play he just received has reached 30,000.

The last is Chen You, a former member of the band Wenna, who had few roles in "Mr. Zombie" but managed to carve out a career and was asked to shoot monsters, psychic and kung fu comedies.

"Mr. Zombie" is not only a gold-sucking monster, but also a star-making machine.

After being released for half a month, the attendance rate of "Mr. Zombie" has dropped significantly, and theaters have gradually reduced the number of screenings.

At this time, "Mr. Zombie", who was lonely in Hong Kong, suddenly met an unexpected opponent.

Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Pictures. After the new century, he was known as the driving force behind Chinese films. At this time, the helmsman of Anle Pictures was still Jiang Zhiqiang's brother Jiang Zhiwen, because Anle Cinemas only screened Western films. The two brothers followed their father to Europe and the United States to buy Western films when they were more than ten years old, and they are very familiar with the film markets of European and American countries.

Just last year. Jiang Zhiwen took over Anle Pictures. He bought some World War II documentaries and war video materials in the United States, and after taking them back to Hong Kong, he added some from Taiwan. The anti-Japanese war images bought by Bay, plus some old movie clips, edited these patchwork into a war documentary, named "The Tragic War".

At this time, there was no Internet in Hong Kong, and war films were even more shoddy and ineffective, as soon as "Tragic War" was released, the super realistic and cruel content and pictures immediately caused a sensation.

Audiences who were originally nourished by "Mr. Zombie" disdained to watch other movies. Returning to the cinema over and over again to watch Mr. Zombie has resulted in high attendance. Until the release of "The Bitter War", this patchwork war film immediately attracted the movie-starved audience, and it was full after its release.

It's a pity that the number of theaters in the Anle Cinema Line is too small, and seeing that "The Bitter War" is so popular, Jiang Zhiwen immediately contacted other independent theaters, and even borrowed a few theaters from Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to screen it.

"Mr. Zombie" was released on June 28, and it was not until August 11 that the whole line was completed, with a total box office of 21.75 million in Hong Kong. became the first film in Hong Kong to break the box office of 20 million.

At this time, the total population of Hong Kong was only 5.1 million, and with an average movie ticket price of 8 yuan, it is equivalent to more than one out of every two Hong Kong people who walked into the cinema to watch "Mr. Zombie". If you exclude children under the age of 12 and the elderly over the age of 60. This proportion of data will be even higher!

The report of "Oriental Daily" was surprised by this, saying: "Half a year ago, "Happy Ghost" became the first film in Hong Kong to break 10 million at the box office. Kang Jianfei is also known as 'tens of millions of directors'. At that time, some newspapers believed that the box office record of "Happy Ghost" would remain for at least two years. But just half a year later. Director Kang Jianfei once again refreshed the box office record he created with "Mr. Zombie", and increased the box office by more than 20 million in one fell swoop. It's nothing short of a miracle. And director Kang Jianfei is the one who created miracles, and he should be called a 'miracle director'......"

"Ming Pao" has been at odds with "Oriental Daily" since last year because of the reason for competing for the sales championship. And Kang Jianfei is the one who wrote novels to help "Oriental Daily" regain the sales throne, so "Ming Pao" has not been very active in reporting Kang Jianfei, and does not criticize or praise him too much, as if he wants to treat him coldly.

But this time, "Ming Pao" actually expressed its opinion, saying that Kang Jianfei broke the box office record twice in a row, creating a miracle that is difficult for other directors to achieve, and is worthy of the name of a movie genius.

While "Mr. Zombie" created a miracle, it also caused other movies released at the same time to collectively hit the streets. The impact of this move is that as long as Kang Jianfei's movie is released in the future, except for Cheng Long and other more confident directors and actors, other directors have rescheduled and avoided it, so as not to collide with Kang Jianfei, the "disaster film director".

Of course, Jiang Zhiwen and his Anle Pictures also took advantage.

After watching "Mr. Zombie", the audience didn't like to watch other low-quality movies, but they flocked to watch "The Bitter War". As a result, this war documentary won a box office of 10.34 million in one fell swoop, hundreds of thousands more than the box office of the original time and space, and suddenly ranked fourth in the annual box office.

Kang Jianfei's "Mr. Zombie" broke 20 million at the box office, which has left countless film companies and directors speechless, and the box office of "Painful War" broke 10 million, which once again made them dumbfounded.

Lao Tzu worked hard to make a movie, but it is not as good as a documentary cut out by others to buy various war materials, what kind of world is this!

Hung Jinbao was speechless, his "Ghost Fight" was released at the end of July, and at this time, the movie-watching craze of "Mr. Zombie" had passed. But because of the jewel of "Mr. Zombie" in front of him, and "The Bitter War" next to him grabbing the audience, the box office of "Ghost Fight" is only more than 3 million.

And Lei Juekun, who had great expectations for Hong Jinbao, could only sigh secretly after seeing the box office results.

…………

Kang Jianfei is very busy, very busy!

After the hit of "Mr. Zombie", filmmakers came to the door every day and wanted to join Oriental DreamWorks to do things. However, it is not possible to blindly expand the scale now, Kang Jianfei asked Pan Yingzi and Ma Qiao to check the two, and only recruited a few technical personnel to join the production department, and recruited two administrative employees to be thrown to Ma Qiao and Pan Yingzi as assistants.

followed by the recording of "The Original Scenery of Hometown", when recording the tune, Kang Jianfei carried forward the spirit of the thief and copied all the other tunes in Sojiro's "Wood Road" album.

I think that at the beginning, Sojiro was Kang Jianfei's idol, and when he grew up, he learned all the songs composed by Sojiro one by one.

For idols, Kang Jianfei feels that he spares no effort to plagiarize Sojiro's works, which is the best support for him. With Sojiro's talent, he must have created other wonderful tunes after plagiarism, which has made a new contribution to the music of the world!

Every time he thinks about it, Kang Jianfei feels that his move is too selfless and great!

When he came to the recording studio of Fengxing Records, Kang Jianfei slapped the score he brought on the table, and directly shocked the producer named Li Fanyu of Fengxing Records.

After reading the score, Li Fanyu asked, "Mr. Kang, are all these pieces composed by you?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded, exuding a kind of "temperament" that only a master has.

Li Fanyu really said words of admiration and admiration, and then he looked at Tao Xun in Kang Jianfei's hand, scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and said: "That, why don't you blow it first, Mr. Kang, and then I will think about how to arrange it for you." After all, I have never made this kind of pure music record before, and I am not very familiar with Tao Xun's voice. ”

"Okay." Kang Jianfei is also very helpless about the arrangement. He plays music half-heartedly, except for Tao Xun's great blowing, playing the guitar can only be regarded as improvised, and the harmonica can also fool ordinary people. As for the piano and violin, I'm very sorry, Kang Jianfei doesn't listen to the sound of the violin as an erhu.

Making pure music records also requires arranging, such as pairing Tao Xun with piano, violin and other musical instruments, otherwise it will sound very monotonous.

Kang Jianfei blew Tao Xun for more than half an hour, Li Fanyu also shook his head when he heard it, he first translated Kang Jianfei's simple score into a stave, and then while listening to Kang Jianfei's blowing Xun, he used a pen to draw various marks on the score.

The arrangement is not something that can be done in a while, Kang Jianfei took advantage of Li Fanyu's busy work to go around Fengxing Records by himself.

The office space of Fengxing Records is large, but due to the significant reduction of employees, two office rooms have been re-fenced and rented out to other companies.

Turning around, Kang Jianfei saw that there were a few employees in the company, and perhaps, some were running business outside.

Deng Yiming walked out of his office, his face was quite unpleasant, as if something was not going well. After seeing Kang Jianfei, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "How is Mr. Kang?" ”

"Li Fanyu is still arranging," Kang Jianfei saw that his face was inappropriate, and asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"It's a little thing." Deng Yiming disguised.

At this moment, a woman came over and said quite painfully: "Boss Deng, it's been half a month, and more than 2,000 records have been sold, so I think I'd better go back to Taipei." ”

Kang Jianfei recognized this woman as Su Rui at a glance, there was no way, she was too famous!

It's just that, how could Su Rui end up in Fengxing Records?

Deng Yiming seemed to be because Kang Jianfei was beside him, so he didn't say anything, but comforted: "It's okay, I'll think of a way to strengthen the propaganda ......."

"Boom!"

Before Deng Yiming finished speaking, the door of the company was kicked open, and several people who were obviously on the road walked in viciously. The leader also deliberately showed the tattoo on his arm, blew his nose at a desk and said, "Boss Deng, are you ready for your money?" If I don't have any money, my brother will have to move your company's things and sell them to pay off his debts! ”

Kang Jianfei looked at Deng Yiming suspiciously, but Deng Yiming's face was pale and speechless.
