274 [Cheap/Fear of Flying]
Lei Juekun was holding a big red invitation card in his hand, and the smile on his face was quite complicated. In his hand is Kang Jianfei's invitation to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the TV station, a little person who couldn't even find the theater three years ago, but now he has become the boss of the TV station, how can this not make Lei Juekun sigh?
"Mr. Lei, the test film of "Best Partner 2" is ready." The assistant knocked on the door of the unrelated room and stood in the doorway.
Lei Juekun put away the invitation and went to the screening hall with a cigar in his mouth.
As the big boss of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, after the Golden Princess is on the right track, Lei Juekun will not participate in the test screening of the new film under normal circumstances, let alone care about the specific film scheduling, because that is what the theater manager should do.
However, "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" is different, because Xinyicheng is a company absolutely controlled by Lei Juekun, and Mecca and others are the bosses of Xinyicheng, but they are actually senior workers in disguise.
Last year's box office of "Best Partner" exceeded 25 million, coupled with the overseas box office, Lei Juekun made a lot of money. Now that the sequel test film of "Best Partner" is tested, Lei Juekun naturally has to pay special attention to it.
Coming to the screening hall, there were already many people sitting in the front seats in the middle, in addition to the main creators such as Mecca, Huang Baiming, Xu Guanjie, etc., the general manager of the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the managers of various theaters also came.
As for Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, the two shareholders are nowhere to be seen, and last year the two got a film company and brought in Wu Yusen as a director. As a result, a "Modern Heavenly Master" made a small profit of hundreds of thousands, which made the two taste a little sweetness, and invested in a "big production" with a budget of 4 million in the first half of the year, but the box office was only more than 2 million. Such a success on the street made Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong retreat and directly shut down the film company.
Time passed minute by minute, and "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" has been screened, under the dim lights of the screening hall. Lei Juekun's expression was also uncertain.
Lei Juekun looked at Li Maowen, the manager of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and asked, "Awen, what do you think?" ”
Li Maowen sighed: "It's not as good as last year's one, and it is estimated that the box office will be several million less." ”
Mecca was anxious when she heard this, and said: "Mr. Lei, Manager Li, although it is not as good as last year's "Best Partner", the quality is already very high. ”
Li Maowen nodded and said: "That's true, I think it's appropriate to schedule it to be released in early July." ”
Mecca was immediately relieved when she heard this, although the summer schedule began to be scheduled at the end of June. But July is the main event. A movie that can be scheduled to be released in July is already half the success before it is released.
In June this year, the film schedules of major theaters in Hong Kong have come out, and a total of 14 new films have been released. Among them, Shaw Brothers' films account for 5, which is still the first in terms of film production.
However, if you look at the screening of Shaw Brothers' films last month, you can see how embarrassed Shaw Brothers is. The longest-running "Raising Ghosts" was only screened for 12 days, and the average release time of other films was only 6 days, and even Li Hanxiang's "Thirty Years from the Beginning" was only screened for 6 days. The sequel to Chu Yuan's martial arts film "Chu Liuxiang" was painted after only 5 days.
In contrast, there is a new company called Century Pictures, but it has sprung up.
This company was originally engaged in finance and trade, and the owner of the company didn't know what kind of style to smoke, so he suddenly changed his career to make movies last year. Well, Hong Kong companies are very zìyóu, unlike the mainland where there are strict restrictions on the scope of business. Since the boss says to make a movie, let's make it.
There is an employee named Liu Zhenwei in the company (this gentleman's classics include "Journey to the West" and "East Becomes West"), this guy is a friend of the boss. Soon became a film planning and production director. In the past year, Century Pictures has made three films, each earning an average of more than 2 million, which has blinded countless professional filmmakers.
The films of a small company like Century Pictures naturally cannot be scheduled for the summer file. Its new film "Bin Mei" was scheduled for release in early June by Golden Harvest Cinemas. "Bin Mei" is the ambition of Century Pictures after the success of several consecutive films, and went to Taiwan to invite Qin Han, who had just divorced. invited Qin Xianglin back from the United States, and the heroine is Taiwan's emerging singer Ye Qianwen.
Judging from the cast, it is obvious that Century Pictures not only wants to earn the Hong Kong box office, but also wants to enter the Taiwan market.
In June, the schedules of major theaters are many and miscellaneous, and the continuous release of a single movie is very short. On the contrary, after entering the summer season, the number of films released in theaters will decrease, but the release canvas and time of a single movie will greatly increase.
Oriental DreamWorks' "Happy Ghost 3 Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost" has been painted for nearly a month, and the final box office in this port is 8.73 million. Although the box office is not high, it is still relatively stable and profitable among low-cost comedies.
As for "Pretty Girl" supervised by McDonald's Bear, because it was not favored by Li Maowen, it was scheduled to be released on June 10 rì this time.
Lei Juekun looked at "Best Partner", which was still in the end credits, and suddenly asked: "Kang Jianfei's kid's "Hero Bensè" hasn't been filmed yet?" ”
Li Maowen replied: "It has been completed and is in the final stage of production." If nothing else, "Best Partner" will be released after the painting is released. ”
Under normal circumstances, the two movies with similar quality, the one at the top of the schedule is more dominant. However, Lei Juekun suddenly thought of a situation, he said: "I heard that Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and their brothers seem to have made a movie together, which will also be released in early July, and "Best Partner" may have to fight a box office war with Golden Harvest again. ”
Li Maowen added: "The name of that movie is "A Scheme", but Cheng Long's movie is like that, and the box office of "Best Partner" will definitely win. ”
Lei Juekun always felt that something was wrong, he felt that after an old fox like Zou Wenhuai had been deflated for two years in a row, the film created by Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao would definitely be very different.
Lei Juekun thought about it and made a decision: "Ah Wen, you go and inform Kang Jianfei and let him hurry up later, "Hero Ben Sè" will be released in July, and "Best Partner" will be ranked behind him. ”
Li Maowen still doesn't understand what Lei Juekun's idea is, he wants to let "Hero Ben Sè" collide with "A Strategy". By the time "Best Partner" is released, there will be no strong opponents left, and the box office will definitely be a little more.
This is the difference between a godson and a son, how to say that Xinyicheng is also Lei Juekun's own company. If Kang Jianfei had promised Lei Juekun to join the shareholder Fang DreamWorks, the result of the film schedule would definitely be different.

The time for Lishi's official name change is getting closer and closer, and the later stage of "Hero Ben Sè" has also been completed more than halfway.
The most lively thing during this period is naturally the annual Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. This issue of Ming Pao Weekly devotes a full six pages to the report.
Zhao Yazhi took a shower and came in wearing Kang Jianfei's white shirt, because he was not wearing a bra, the two points on his chest were really eye-catching. The hem of the shirt covered the hips, and the long white legs were exposed to the air, and the seductive lace panties were faintly visible when he walked.
Zhao Yazhi kicked off the slippers on his feet, jumped on the bed like a little girl, and got into Kang Jianfei's arms to watch TV with him.
"Why do you keep wearing my clothes?" Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi's slender waist, sniffed with his nose against the tip of her hair, and exclaimed. "Sister Zhi, you are so fragrant."
"People like to wear your clothes, don't they?" Zhao Yazhi is usually gentle and virtuous, and it is rare to be coquettish like a girl.
Kang Jianfei kissed Zhao Yazhi's Saixue's skin and said, "Of course." Sister Zhi, you look good in whatever clothes you wear. ”
Zhao Yazhi looked up at Kang Jianfei and said, "Ah Fei, I haven't come to my menstrual affairs this month, it seems that I am pregnant." ”
Zhao Yazhi's tone was light, but it sounded like a muffled thunder in Kang Jianfei's ears, and he asked dryly, "No." Is there really one? ”
Zhao Yazhi sighed and said: "It's a pity that I made a mistake, I went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said that I had irregular menstruation, and told me to rest more and eat less spicy things." ”
"Whew!" Kang Jianfei let out a long sigh of relief, almost being scared half to death.
Maybe it's because of Kang Jianfei's childhood experience. It has left him with a very serious psychological yīn shadow. This person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he has an incomparable fear of marriage and offspring, and this fear can make him feel at a loss in an instant. I can't even speak.
Zhao Yazhi saw Kang Jianfei's relieved expression, and said a little angrily: "Ah Fei, you don't seem to like children?" ”
"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't want it too early," Kang Jianfei's scalp tingled. I don't want to dwell too much on this issue, so I pointed to the TV and changed the subject. "Look at the TV station, who do you think will be the champion of Miss Hong Kong this year?"
Zhao Ya was a little lost in her heart, and silently leaned on Kang Jianfei's arms to watch the Hong Kong sister show, and said for a long time: "I think No. 14 is the most beautiful." ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Zhi is a female wolf, and she also likes big-breasted women. ”
The No. 14 Zhao Yazhi said is called Pan Lixian, with a chest circumference of 38, which is a genuine boba, and with a good face, he is the favorite to win the championship this time.
"You are the big wolf," Zhao Yazhi said angrily, "But because of the beauty pageant of Sister Hong Kong, the most beautiful often cannot win the championship, and this Pan Lixian will definitely not be able to wear the crown of Sister Hong Kong." ”
Zhao Yazhi herself was the fourth place in Hong Kong sister back then, Kang Jianfei quipped: "Sister Zhi, are you praising yourself for being beautiful around the bend?" In fact, if you don't say it, I also know this fact. ”
"I didn't!" Zhao Yazhi was originally a little depressed, but now he was pulled by Kang Jianfei, and finally became happy after the rain and the sunny day.
Unconsciously, half of Zhao Yazhi's body was lying on Kang Jianfei's body, and the two were sweetly tired of watching TV together.
Kang Jianfei pointed to the TV screen and said, "I think this No. 6 is good." ”
"Number six?" Zhao Yazhi carefully searched for the figure of the No. 6 beauty, and after looking for a long time, he said, "This Weng Meiling is the shortest of all the beauties, and she will definitely not be able to enter the top five in the finals." ”
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: It's best if you can't get into the top five, just so you can sign her to Lishi.
The 83 version of "Shè Carving" was a big hit, and Weng Meiling played Huang Rong with a lot of credit. Now Kang Jianfei is the boss of Lishi, so he naturally wants to dig up Weng Meiling, even if he signs it and doesn't do anything, it can weaken the influence of the 83 version of "shè carving".
