On August 18, 1982, more than a month after the premiere of "Hero Ben Sè", "A Scheme" released earlier than it had already been painted, but "Hero Ben Sè" still had many moviegoers. This is a miracle in Hong Kong, where movies can generally only be released for a week, and the stamina of "Hero Ben Sè" is simply miraculous.

Now the audience who still goes to the cinema to watch "Hero Ben Sè", but more than half of them watch it repeatedly. This situation makes other directors very uncomfortable, because the audience would rather choose to watch "Hero Ben Sè" repeatedly than watch them, and can only say "compare the goods and throw them away".

After gradually reducing the number of screenings, "Hero Ben Sè" still occupies ten canvases in the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that "Hero Ben Sè" can hold on until September.

Although "Hero Ben Sè" has not yet been painted, the canvas freed up after reducing the number of screenings is enough for "Best Partner 2". Just a few days before the release of Mecca's "Best Partner 2", the ratings battle between Phoenix TV and TVB TV also came to an end. Originally, it was planned to shoot 30 episodes of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love", but after only 24 episodes, the finale was early, and it was replaced by a "Little Hero of the Flower Boat".

Anyone knows that "Little Hero of the Flower Boat" is just a transitional drama, and it will end after a few episodes at most, and then TVB will immediately start broadcasting.

Originally, Fang Yihua's idea was that after the end of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", she would immediately follow the Jinyong drama, but in the end, she had to change her plan.

There are only three people who are good at supervising dramas on wireless stations, one is Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin, the other is Li Tiansheng who was born in a wireless training class, and the last one is Xiao Sheng, who jumped from Lishi at the beginning of the year.

Xiao Sheng just supervised the production of 70 episodes of the long drama "Dragon Babu" in the first half of the year, and although the ratings were good, Lishi was in civil unrest at that time. In the absence of much external competition, the results of "Dragon Babu" actually did not make Fang Yihua satisfied enough.

As for Li Tiansheng, although he has already shown his talent as a producer at this time, he has only produced Gulong dramas before, and he has never touched Jin Yong dramas, so I don't know if he can do it.

The best producer is naturally Wang Tianlin, but Wang Tianlin has just finished supervising "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Are Always Love", and he can't immediately continue to produce Jin Yong drama.

In the end, I can only choose a way to fold and rush, and a "Little Hero of the Flower Boat" will be used as a transitional drama to make a connection. Set aside a few days for Wang Tianlin to prepare. Don't look at this "Little Hero of the Flower Boat" is just a small play, but its cast is not bad, starring Liu Dehua, Guan Lixing, who has just emerged, and Zhuang Jinger, a jade star who jumped from Lishi to TVB not long ago.

And Wang Tianlin's side, after the production of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love". immediately put into the preparation of the next Jin Yong drama. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu" have been filmed by TVB in the past two years, and without thinking too much, Wang Tianlin chose "The Legend of the Heroes of the Eagle", and then started the casting work.

Wang Tianlin's casting is very busy, but the early finale of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains and Always Love" has attracted the dissatisfaction of many audiences. Because of this family era drama, there are many clues about the characters. Under the hurried ending, it always feels like something is missing.

TVB naturally won't admit that it ended early because the ratings lost to "Sister Tuogun", but some media were not polite, and even bluntly said that Phoenix Channel won the battle.

"Sing Tao Rì Daily" even published such a highly-rated review article: "This summer's Hong Kong film and television circle. Kang Jianfei is undoubtedly the biggest winner, "Hero Bensè" won the box office of "A Strategy", and the ratings of "Sister Tuogun" stabilized the ratings of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love". With the strength of film companies and TV stations going hand in hand, Kang Jianfei has shown the posture of a new generation of film and television tycoons......"

"Hmph. A new generation of film and television tycoons! ”

Lei Juekun threw the newspaper aside and asked Li Maowen, who had just entered the office: "How is DreamWorks' new film "Happy Campus"? ”

"It's the same genre as the Happy Ghost series. It's just that there are no ghosts and special functions, it's a pure campus comedy," Li Maowen said with a smile, "I only gave "Happy Campus" five screens, and the people in their marketing department are still arguing with Princess Jin. ”

Lei Juekun asked, "Is there any sign of Kang Jianfei being soft?" ”

Li Maowen shook his head and said, "Not yet." But they can't last long, a movie with a box office of more than 10 million can only sell two or three million now, and sooner or later he will take the initiative to discuss with you, Mr. Lei. ”

Lei Juekun smiled and nodded, he actually didn't want to swallow Oriental DreamWorks, he just wanted to eat three or four percent of DreamWorks' shares. With the rapid development of the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the New Art City, Lei Juekun's ambitions are also getting bigger and bigger, he wants to be a cinema tycoon like Shao Yifu, not just the owner of a cinema company.

wants to be a movie theater tycoon, but the most profitable film company in its theater chain doesn't have his share, it's just a joke!

Don't look at Zou Wenhuai's generosity, but Golden Harvest Pictures has always been the core of all satellite companies, if Golden Harvest Cinemas has a production company like Oriental DreamWorks, Zou Wenhuai can't afford to say anything. Lei Juekun can endure until now to attack DreamWorks, which is already very rare.

Lei Juekun suddenly remembered something and asked Li Maowen: "By the way, I heard that Ma Qiao from DreamWorks is contacting retail theaters, does this decrepit boy want to form his own theater company?" ”

Li Maowen smiled disdainfully: "What can those retail theaters do? Mr. Lei was overwhelmed. ”

The location of the cinema is very important, and a large cinema in a prosperous area can even attract more money than five or six small cinemas in the middle of nowhere. The location and facilities of those retail movie theaters are not very good, and it is okay to make a little money by showing them in these theaters, but if you want to box office more than 10 million or 20 million, it is almost a fantasy.

Although this is the truth, Lei Juekun still has no score in his heart, because he really can't figure out Kang Jianfei. Lei Juekun muttered to himself: "Kang Jianfei, this decrepit boy is naturally rebellious, I'm afraid he won't give in so easily." ”

Li Maowen said with a smile: "Now that Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu are on the same page, if he refuses to cooperate with Mr. Lei and you, he can only cooperate with Zou Wenhuai or the leftist cinema." ”

Lei Juekun smiled, and suddenly asked, "Do you think Kang Jianfei will really cooperate with Shuangnan Cinema?" ”

Li Maowen said with a serious expression: "I can't say, if he is willing to give up the Taiwan market, cooperating with leftist cinemas is the best choice." However, this is also tantamount to putting a trap around his neck, the leftist cinema selection is too strict, and the slightly excessive bloody violence and ** shots cannot be released, which will only make the path of DreamWorks movies narrower and narrower. ”

Ma Qiao strode into Kang Jianfei's office, closed the door and said: "Princess Jin is only going to give "Happy Campus" five canvases, but the four leading theaters under Princess Jin have only arranged one screening of "Happy Campus". ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "How are those retail cinemas connected?" ”

Ma Qiao said: "All the cinemas contacted are willing to cooperate with us, except for the four cinemas that open the Anle Cinema Line, there are a total of 18 other retail cinemas. ”

Ma Qiao said that there is no suspense in this situation, as the highest-grossing film production company in Hong Kong, DreamWorks took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, and those small theaters will definitely agree.

Ma Qiao continued: "The four cinemas of the Anle Cinema Line are of good scale and location, and when the temporary cinema chain is formed, these four cinemas can be used as the leading cinemas, and the other retail cinemas can be used as auxiliary cinemas. However, it is preliminarily estimated that the box office of the same movie released in temporary theaters will be at least 30% lower than that of the Golden Princess theater. ”

The box office is less than 30%, if only in the Hong Kong market, it is indeed better to share some company shares to Lei Juekun. DreamWorks still has a vast overseas market, and Kang Jianfei's brain will be pumped to let Lei Juekun enter the company to grab money to spend.

After saying the bad news, Ma Qiao immediately reported another good news: "Since the first part of "Royal Sister" achieved a good box office in the United States, 20th Century Fox hopes to distribute "Royal Sister 2" as an agent, and it will be screened this Christmas. ”

"Oh, that's great news." Kang Jianfei's face couldn't help but show joy.

The total box office of the first part of "Royal Sister" in the United States is 40 million, relying on the female protagonist, hearty and beautiful fighting scenes, and hot flying cars and explosion scenes. The second part of "Royal Sister" is likely to be greatly reduced in freshness, and it will not bring American audiences as strong impact as last time, but with the name of the first part, "Royal Sister 2" should not be too miserable in the United States.

Kang Jianfei is very self-aware, as long as "Royal Sister 2" can sell $20 million at the box office in the United States, he is already content.

For more than a year, Oriental DreamWorks has often contacted 20th Century Fox to act as an agent for distribution, but including Kang Jianfei's "Sword and Horse" and other films, 20th Century Fox is not optimistic and has always refused to distribute on behalf of others.

Under the soft grinding and hard bubble, 20th Century Fox finally agreed to help release "Mr. Zombie 1" a few months ago, but the box office in the United States was only a pitiful more than $1.6 million, which is still the result of many Chinese cheers. According to the prior agreement, part of the promotion cost of the film in the United States will be paid by DreamWorks, and after deducting the publicity fee, DreamWorks will only receive $57,000......

After talking about business, Ma Qiao was about to leave, and suddenly said: "By the way, boss, there is a video tape company in the United States that said that it had watched "Mr. Zombie 1" and wanted to spend $10,000 to buy out the American video rights of "Mr. Zombie 1". ”

Joke, $10,000 wants to buy out the American videotape rights of "Mr. Zombie"?

Kang Jianfei would rather not make this 10,000 yuan than sell, and said: "You continue to talk with that side, the sales share of the videotape is okay, and the buyout is not negotiable." ”
