Since Kang Jianfei became the owner of Phoenix TV, the ratings of the TV station have only rebounded slightly, but compared with TVB, they are far behind.

Due to the hype of the two TV series "Sister Tuogun" and "Xun Qin", not many people in the outside world question whether Kang Jianfei has the ability to do a good job in the TV station, but there are many people waiting to see his jokes.

Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry, variety shows or anything, and he is not in a hurry to replace the new show immediately.

All the plans have been formulated and need to be implemented step by step, and the first step to make the ratings of Phoenix Channel take off is to make two classic signature TV series. Then, taking advantage of the momentum of the huge increase in ratings, other programs were reformed one after another.

To tell the truth, because Kang Jianfei has the golden finger of a traverser, making a few more movies is more profitable than being a TV station. But he still deliberately paid for the purchase of TV stations, and even spent precious time personally supervising TV dramas.

Oriental DreamWorks, Phoenix TV and Fengxing Records will form an iron triangle that can complement each other in the future.

In addition to helping Oriental DreamWorks and Fengxing Records to do publicity, Phoenix TV is also a talent training base, and the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel of the TV station and DreamWorks can communicate with each other.

And what about popular records? The film and television works of Phoenix Channel and DreamWorks must have a variety of music content, and Fengxing Records can not only help Phoenix Channel and DreamWorks produce music, but also help them distribute and sell records.

As for Oriental DreamWorks, it can exist as a money-making and star-making machine, and the potential stars of Phoenix Channel and Popular Records, DreamWorks can take it to another level by making movies.

After the completion of this iron triangle, Kang Jianfei's film and television empire in Hong Kong is only short of the cinema line.

Regarding the cinema line, Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry. When the prosperity of Hong Kong films reaches a stage, it is very simple to make a cinema, but it is difficult to say whether the cinema can make a profit.

At least the current Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is operating at a loss almost every month, and has lost at least 50 million in the past two years. If it weren't for Shao Daheng's strong family background, he would have been unable to hold on to other people.

Kang Jianfei also thought about investing in cinemas in the mainland, and asked by the way when he went to the mainland to shoot "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" last time, but the answer he got made Kang Jianfei very disappointed.

Cinemas belong to the infrastructure of cultural undertakings, and foreign capital is not allowed to control them at all, and no matter how much money is invested, it will be in vain.

If Kang Jianfei is right, at least until the signing of the CEPA agreement in 2003, Hong Kong capital will not be able to control cinemas on the mainland. At most, the joint venture theater will give you part of the equity, but even if you invest 10 billion to build a theater line in the mainland, it is impossible to have the right to speak.

…………

In July, the old British lady was furious, and the Falklands War, which had been fought with Argentina for more than two months, had ended.

Hong Kong is so far away that it should be said that it has little to do with Hong Kong people, but the truth is the opposite.

After winning the Falklands War, Britain began to make demands for negotiations on the Hong Kong issue with the Chinese side with the prestige of winning the war. I heard that the old British lady has a great appetite this time, and intends to continue to rule Hong Kong, and is also preparing to visit China on this issue in the near future.

Hong Kong newspapers began to make various predictions, some said north. This time, the Beijing authorities will give in to Britain, and some say that the PLA will take back Hong Kong by force after the talks break down.

Kang Jianfei already knew the result, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, and began to do the most difficult publicity with the creative team of "Hero Ben Sè".

At the same time, Golden Harvest's "A Plan and Plan" also stepped up its publicity offensive, and movie advertisements were overwhelmingly published in major newspapers.

In the parallel space, "A Scheme" was an idea that Cheng Long only had after starring in "The Five Lucky Stars", but now it was filmed before "The Five Lucky Stars".

In addition to Cheng Long's "A Plan", this year's Golden Harvest summer file also arranged Hong Jinbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River". As for "Dragon Ninja" directed by Yuan Kui, it was released in June and won millions at the box office.

Shaw Brothers Cinemas has three film release plans in July, two of which are Liu Jiaban's works. However, compared with the publicity momentum of "Hero Bensè" and "A Scheme", Shaw Brothers' films are much calmer, with small advertisements in the newspaper as usual, and then posters are pasted at the door of the theater.

"A Strategy" was released a few days before "Hero Bensè", and it won a super high box office of 8.56 million in the first week, making the media exclaim that the real Cheng Long is back.

I heard that when Zou Wenhuai got the box office data, he danced happily and praised Cheng Long as his lucky general.

On July 8, just six days after the release of "A Strategy", the premiere of "Hero Bensè" was also held as scheduled.

At this time, the box office dark horse of "Pretty Girl" has only been painted for two days, and Kang Jianfei has taken over Phoenix TV, and the media's attention to "Hero Ben Sè" has also reached a new height.

Kang Jianfei and Cheng Long's movies have competed with each other several times before, except for the box office of "Young Master Long", which is hundreds of yuan higher than that of "Dao Ma Dan", it seems that Cheng Long loses every time.

This time, will Cheng Long make a beautiful comeback, or will he continue to be crushed by Kang Jianfei?

On the day of the premiere, film critics from all walks of life entered the premiere theaters one after another, wanting to get a sneak peek and predict the box office of "Hero Ben Sè".

……

Shu Qi almost broke his leg recently because of the contact and initiation of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, but unfortunately he was disappointed by the result. Similarly, it also made him realize a reality, that is, Hong Kong films are still extremely immature, and it is of little significance to form a professional group in the near future.

After giving up on the idea of forming an entertainers' guild, Shu Qi put jīng back into the film fortnight and next year's Academy Awards. The first is to invite someone to design the trophy, and then to plan and set up various awards, and to select the famous foreign filmmakers to be invited next year.

Now that the trophy of the Academy Awards is still being designed, he received an invitation to the premiere of Kang Jianfei's new film, and Shu Qi also took the opportunity to come out to watch the film to breathe.

Wu Yusen sat not far from Shu Qi, and after he made two consecutive movies, no one was willing to ask him to make a film anymore. Wu Yusen's good friend Xu Ke is doing well in Xinyicheng, and he invited Wu Yusen to join Xinyicheng last week, and is preparing to let him make a new film.

Wu Yusen, who has suffered continuous setbacks, now lacks self-confidence, and even he doubts whether his next film can make money. Now Kang Jianfei is the highest-grossing director in Hong Kong, and Wu Yusen came to watch "Hero Ben Sè" to learn from it.

After the program interaction on stage, the film officially began to be screened.

Zhou Runfa, who was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, appeared on the screen, began to eat roadside stall snacks, chased the vendor to pay, and then got into Brother Hao's car and entered the company together.

When they saw the company's employees greeting "Brother Hao" and "Brother Xiaoma" one after another, including Wu Yusen, Shu Qi, Yishu and others, all the audience thought that Zhou Yanfa was acting as a company executive.

But soon, the audience was stunned by the scene, a $100 bill appeared on a computer monitor, and Cāo, an expert in a white jacket, began to manually change the number of the dollar bill.

Then the whole page of the bills is adjusted, and then the hula machine starts to work, and stacks of bills are printed.

"Damn, these are counterfeit money!"

"Brother Pony's action of lighting a cigarette with dollars is so handsome."

"High-tech, in the past, movies used to print counterfeit banknotes with electric boards, but this is fully automatic by computer."

“……”

The lead actor was set up as a counterfeit money dealer, which surprised Wu Yusen, who at first thought it was a gang/gangster film like "The Godfather". It wasn't until Zhang Guorong, who was admitted to the Jǐng school, appeared that Wu Yusen felt that it was not so simple, and the plot behind it must be more complicated.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guorong accompanied Guan Zhilin to take the violin test made the audience laugh, and the laughter did not stop for long, and Brother Hao played by Chen Huimin was arrested in Taiwan.

Brother Pony appeared on the overpass in Ximending, reading the newspaper with a toothpick in his mouth, and the headline of the newspaper was the news that Brother Hao had been arrested.

"It is my life to step into the rivers and lakes,

It's not like you're willing to be bad.

It's better to be a brother than to be outdated,

Beat Gang (every day) to wear gold and silver.

Sometimes you're short on money,

Sworn Brother Tease Sa Ting (Help Through)

……”

With the sound of the Taiwanese song "Rising and Sinking Brothers", Zhou Runfa appeared in the aisle of Fenglin Pavilion Restaurant, hugging a restaurant girl and dancing tango.

The dance movements of the two are very beautiful, and there are even close-ups of Zhou Yanfa's eyes and big hands. But under the cover of this beautiful dance, Zhou Yunfa took out a pistol and stuffed it into the bonsai in the aisle, indicating what Xiao Ma was going to do next.

Wu Yusen gasped, he never thought that gangster/gang films could be filmed like this, especially the series of shootouts in the back, which simply turned violence into an art.

The rest of the audience held their breath and stared at the big screen until the shootout ended. However, at this moment, Xiao Ma was shot in the leg by the other party, and after killing the enemy, he dragged a lame leg out of the leg.

Brother Hao returned to Hong Kong after being imprisoned, his brother was homeless, and Brother Hao, who wanted to reform himself, became a taxi driver. When showing the picture of Brother Hao carrying passengers, Kang Jianfei did not use the original soundtrack, but changed the episode "I have not been a big brother for many years" with a wicked taste.

Most people in Hong Kong can still understand Chinese, and the most popular songs and movies in Hong Kong ten years ago were in Chinese, so Kang Jianfei was too lazy to change Cantonese lyrics.

This song appears twice in the film, and once Zhang Guorong pressed his brother to the wall to search his body and asked him when he had a deal, Brother Hao said very helplessly: "Ah SIR, I haven't been a big brother for a long time!" ”

At this moment, the song "I haven't been a big brother for many years" sounded again, adding a bit of sourness to the movie.

Brother Xiaoma's downfall and Ah Cheng's betrayal caused a strong reaction from the audience, until the hearty battle at the end, the audience was addicted to it.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Xiao Ma was suddenly shot in the head, and then slowly fell.

The theater, which had been bustling just now, suddenly fell silent, and the audience was stunned by the sudden death, followed by dissatisfaction and curses like cháo.

"Is there any mistake, Brother Pony died like this?"

"It's so worthless to die, I didn't die in the gunfight, I actually died under the cold gun."

"Is the screenwriter pooping in his head? Where is there such a thing as killing the protagonist! ”

"The director is shoveling!"

“……”

Wu Yusen listened to the venting of the audience around him, and had to admit the success of director Kang Jianfei, a movie can only enjoy such strong abuse from the audience after it strongly attracts the audience.

The movie continued, and after the audience scolded a few times, they quickly continued to watch the movie obediently.

When they saw Ah Cheng Yaowu coming out of the army to surrender himself, the audience was afraid that the director would mess around again, and some people couldn't help shouting: "Kill him quickly!" ”

"Kill this bone!"

"No bullets, punch him to death!"

“……”

Zhang Guorong walked out from behind the container and stuffed the pistol he picked up into Brother Hao's hand.

After two gunshots, watching Ah Cheng, who was shot, fall, the nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then applauded.

The movie has been screened, but the audience's applause is endless, although Xiao Ma's death has made many viewers angry, but the whole movie still makes everyone enjoy watching it.

Wu Yusen walked out of the cinema in silence all the way, thinking back and figuring out the details of the movie in his heart, and admired Kang Jianfei more and more. He found that this "Hero Ben Sè" was very much to his taste, and some of the things expressed in the movie also coincided with his thoughts, and he felt like he had met a bosom friend.

The film reviews in the newspaper the next day, in addition to complaining that Kang Jianfei killed Brother Xiaoma, almost praised "Hero Ben Sè".

Shu Qi wrote in the "Film Fortnightly": "After the release of "Hero Bensè", it may set off a stream of future gang/gangster films just like "Mr. Zombie" is to zombie films. ”

Yishu's film review column said: "A man like Brother Hao is worth having, but Brother Xiao Ma can only watch from a distance for women." They are all heroes in a sense, possessing heroic traits and their own ...... In fact, what I appreciate most about this film is not the fiery shootout, but the interlude sung by children in the church. I called Director Kang afterwards, and he said that the song was called "Tomorrow Will Be Better". ”

"Heroes Ben Sè" has a high reputation among film critics, and just a week ago, the media also praised Cheng Long's "A Plan".

The films that are also out of sè, one is a comedy jǐng bandit film, and the other is a gang/gang hero film, but they are destined to compete in this summer vacation. The media and filmmakers in the industry are staring at the first box office release of "Hero Ben Sè", and "Sister Tuogun" on Phoenix TV has also officially started shooting two years before the release of "Hero Ben Sè".
