Following the last trip to the mainland, Zhong Jinghui went to the mainland for a turn after a month, and only came back after seeing the chūn festival.

"The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", which was bought by zhōngyāng TV from Phoenix TV, has been decided to be broadcast after the Lunar New Year after being approved to delete a few shots, and then dubbed in Mandarin by jīng Liangdi.

In addition to getting in touch with many television stations in the mainland, he also had contact with some officials of the Ministry of Culture, and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office naturally made a matchmaking trip.

As soon as Zhong Jinghui came back, he saw that the program production staff of the TV station were changing contracts, and immediately ran to find Huang Xizhao and asked, "Lao Huang, what's going on in the station now?" What is it called a TV station without a production department! ”

Huang Xizhaoyun said lightly: "At least the news production department is still there." ”

"It's!" Zhong Jinghui said angrily, "This Kang Jianfei was fine at the beginning, but he started to mess around with a little bit of the TV station." No, I'm going to go to him, it's a big deal to mess with him like I did last time I engaged in Australian shareholders. Although my TV station is his, it is also in the hands of you and me, and I can't watch it ruined by him. ”

"Ah Hui, don't make trouble," Huang Xizhao said meaningfully, "It's good that we don't make trouble with him, once we make trouble, I estimate that with Kang Jianfei's temper, he will risk resigning more than half of the employees and let us get out of here." ”

Zhong Jinghui was stunned for a moment, quickly figured out the reason, and said with a wry smile: "He's too suspicious, right?" ”

Huang Xizhao shook his head: "It's because we used to make too much trouble with Australian shareholders, and whoever is the boss won't be at ease with us." I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I was still lucky. The kind of hard-line attitude that Kang Jianfei showed when he fell out with Lei Juekun knew that he was a person with strong control, and he couldn't let me go into a small group at the TV station, as long as the TV station stabilized, he would definitely do it. ”

Zhong Jinghui is not a fool, Huang Xizhao said casually, he understood everything, and could only sit there and sigh.

……

As the chūn festival approached, the wasteland that Kang Jianfei had bought in Tseung Kwan O also stopped, and some of the dug earthworks were placed there like trenches, so he had to wait for the chūn festival to pass before continuing to work.

Phoenix TV's TV drama and variety show production department, although it was going to be split into DreamWorks, but it didn't really move there. First, there are not enough office rooms at DreamWorks, and secondly, there are many studios and studios on the TV station, which is more convenient for filming programs.

Of course, although the office location has not been moved, the contracts of these people have all been transferred to DreamWorks, which can be regarded as employees of the TV production department under the production department of DreamWorks.

These are all temporary, and after Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is completed, Phoenix TV and Oriental DreamWorks will move there, and even Fengxing Records plans to move there.

Kang Jianfei decided to split the production department of the TV station, in addition to separating production and broadcasting, reducing the expenses of Phoenix Channel, and enhancing the competitiveness of TV programs, another purpose was to weaken Huang Xizhao's influence on Phoenix Channel.

The Australian shareholders suffered the collective resistance of Huang Xizhao and his family on the TV station, but they rang the jǐng bell for Kang Jianfei, and he didn't want to be collectively resisted by the employees of the station one day, or a large number of people were poached with Huang Xizhao.

Huang Xizhao's influence on Phoenix Terrace is too great, so big that Kang Jianfei has to be afraid. Even if Huang Xizhao has no antipathy, Kang Jianfei, as the boss, cannot give Huang Xizhao the qualifications and strength to be anti-hearted.

So after buying the TV station, the first thing Kang Jianfei did was to invite Zhong Jinghui back and use Zhong Jinghui to balance Huang Xizhao. Now that Phoenix TV has somewhat recovered its vitality, and the time is ripe to start with Huang Xizhao, Kang Jianfei immediately split the production department of the TV station. Most of the employees in these departments were promoted by Huang Xizhao, and now after the contract is transferred to DreamWorks, it will not take more than a year and a half for Huang Xizhao's influence on them to be minimized.

For Kang Jianfei's approach, where would Huang Xizhao be unclear?

However, Kang Jianfei is the boss after all, and he is the boss who has made the TV station very good, and there are a large number of successful cases in Europe, the United States and Taiwan in the reform of the separation of production and broadcasting of TV stations, Huang Xizhao really has no reason to oppose it. After Kang Jianfei made his attitude clear, Huang Xizhao could only secretly sigh and agree.

When Kang Jianfei had just bought the TV station, Huang Xizhao spared no effort to help call back the key employees. Now that the TV station is on the right track, Kang Jianfei is going to take Huang Xizhao's subordinates, which has a little bit of a taste of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

But Kang Jianfei had to do this, otherwise he would not be a competent boss, Huang Xizhao This is a typical example of a high-ranking master, and if he is a slightly tougher boss, he will not allow his subordinates to have this situation.

Therefore, there are so many emperors in history who killed the founding heroes, although Kang Jianfei did not directly attack Huang Xizhao, but split his descendants, and weakened Huang Xizhao's power through the system of separation of production and broadcasting, which can be regarded as learning from Song Taizu's cup of wine to release military power.

Huang Xizhao is a smart person, perhaps to eliminate the distrust between him and Kang Jianfei, he not only agreed to the reform of the separation of production and broadcasting, but also personally called Xu Xiaoming, who was a director at Shaw Brothers, back.

Xu Xiaoming's ability is not inferior to McDonald's Bear, and the ATV in the Qiu Degong era in the parallel space is Xu Xiaoming as the program production director, and it has always achieved ATV's profitability.

After Xu Xiaoming ran to Shaw Brothers last year, he was idle after only making two movies, and he could only give help to other directors, and he regretted and depressed in his heart. Now that his mentor has come to recruit him regardless of his previous suspicions, he immediately runs back and joins DreamWorks' TV production department as if nothing happened.

In North America, "Home Alone" has officially been completed, with a cumulative box office of $182 million in North America, ranking second in last year's national box office list. (No. 1 "ET", box office 359 million; No. 2 "Mr. Duss", box office 177 million)

The news soon spread back to Hong Kong, especially after it was confirmed that Home Alone was a sole proprietorship of Kang Jianfei, and the newspapers in Hong Kong collectively rose up.

Not only Hong Kong newspapers, but also Nanyang and Korean media exclaimed incredible.

However, Taiwanese newspapers did not report too much, as if they felt that the name Kang Jianfei was too dirty, and saying it would dirty their ears. As for the reason, it is naturally Kang Jianfei's Phoenix Terrace that helps ** speak, and there is a serious suspicion of banditry.

Kang Jianfei is not angry, as long as Taiwan does not ban his movies, he is already thankful. Not only that, but he also asked the employees of Phoenix TV to restrain themselves, try their best to do programs from a neutral standpoint, and from time to time tout that Taiwan's economy and people's livelihood are doing well, which can be regarded as a disguised slap on the back of the Taiwan authorities.

As time passed, the details about "Home Alone" were also unearthed by the Asian media, especially Kang Jianfei's 11-day production of "Home Alone", which is almost like telling a legendary story.

The South China Morning Post, Hong Kong's largest English-language newspaper with a circulation, analyzed: "...... The comedy produced in 11 days beat many Hollywood blockbusters and earned a high box office of $182 million in North America. According to the genre of "Home Alone" and past conventions, the follow-up global box office of this movie can sell at least more than $80 million. In terms of box office revenue alone, director Kang Jianfei can get at least $90 million. And 20th Century Fox has also recently announced that it will buy the rights to the merchandise and sequel of "Home Alone" for $45 million. That is to say, "Home Alone" directed by Kang Jianfei can bring him at least $130 million in net income, and its overseas box office is still conservatively estimated. ”

The English report of the South China Morning Post was quickly translated and reprinted, and when it came to Chinese-language newspapers such as Oriental Rì Newspaper and Industrial and Commercial Newspaper, it directly became "Mr. Kang Jianfei made a net profit of $130 million in 11 days in the United States."

The news of these big newspapers is misinterpreted by the tabloids, and it becomes "Kang Jianfei makes tens of millions of dollars in the United States", which is simply a gold-absorbing superman.

Now Kang Jianfei is even careful when he goes out, otherwise God knows that a reporter will pop up there.

Approaching the end of the year, all the work has been arranged, Kang Jianfei is also happy, basically every rì takes turns to pay Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong and Pan Yingzi and a few girls to have fun and relax, and occasionally go to Wen Bixuan's side, and call Wen Bixuan, Li Yuanfeng, Li Yanshan and Xie Zhan, the four beautiful girls, to love to the fullest.

Wen Bixuan's four female brothers, the eldest brother, and the younger brother's dedicated service, made Kang Jianfei a little happy. Originally, he only used a few girls as playthings, but now he has been in love for a long time, and he has already given birth to a little bit of affection.

Finally arrived on the 23rd day of the lunar month, and all major theaters in Hong Kong launched their own Chinese New Year blockbusters.

Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Tire", which was roaring half a year ago, was finally released, and this science fiction movie, which claimed to be the Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", quickly caused a sensation after its release.

What is a sensation?

Because "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was only screened for two days, it had to be painted because the attendance was too low, breaking the record for the shortest release time of a Chūn festival movie.

The so-called "Hong Kong version of Star Wars" promoted by Shaw Brothers has become a laughing stock in the industry, and those audiences who are interested in buying tickets to watch sci-fi blockbusters are even more angry and scolding, and even some theaters have made a storm of ticket refunds.

In the original version of "Interstellar Blunt Fetus", the screenwriter (Wen Jun) and heroine (Zhong Chuhong) are now in DreamWorks, but the director Zhang Guoming has not changed. After Shaw Brothers decided to make a science fiction film, Zhang Guoming took the money and invited the screenwriter to write the script. Because the elements and selling points of the movie are proposed by Shaw Brothers and the director, the script written is not much different, and it is still an urban noisy comedy with a sci-fi skin.

Those viewers who bought tickets to watch "Interstellar Blunt Tire" were like friends who went to a duck shop to have fun, but when the door was opened, they saw a forty or fifty-year-old aunt lying there, and their hearts were broken.

Although Jin Yong has a good relationship with Shao Yifu, this issue of "Ming Pao" commented very ruthlessly: ""Interstellar Blunt Tire" is the worst 'blockbuster' in Hong Kong film history, and there is no one. ”

According to Shaw Brothers, the production cost of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is 8 million Hong Kong dollars, but the audience who watched the movie doubted whether the cost of this film was 800,000.

Due to the full release of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, coupled with overwhelming publicity, "Interstellar Blunt Tire" won 520,000 box office on the first day, which can be regarded as a good start. But on the second day, because the reputation was too bad, it could only sell 80,000 box office, and the average attendance rate was less than 20%.

(The box office of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is 6 million on all sources, but it was only released for 2 days, which is not deceiving.) If it can sell 6 million box office in 2 days, then if it continues to be screened, it will definitely be the box office champion of the year)

After "Interstellar Blunt Tire" hit the streets and threw itself into outer space, Shaw Brothers Cinemas urgently released "Descendants of Shaolin" starring Dillon and Er Dongsheng. "Descendants of Shaolin" is not very powerful, and it can't hold up the painting after only 5 days of release.

Shao Tycoon hopes that "Interstellar Blunt Tire" can turn things around, but this sci-fi blockbuster highlights Shaw Brothers' Bo Xishan even more. But his next move made the Hong Kong film industry excited, and the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which did not have good films, actually began to screen Hollywood movies, and it was the box office champion "ET" in North America last year.

In the past, the Anle Cinema Line, which has always been the Jiang family, screened Western films in Hong Kong, and the Anle Cinema Line only has four theaters, and this time the film grabbing could not win the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which has more than a dozen theaters, and lost the gold-attracting film "ET".

Discerning insiders have already seen Shao Tycoon's thoughts, in the past, Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Film Company dragged each other back, and Shao Yifu couldn't do anything. This time, it is to make up for the lack of high-quality film sources of Shaw Brothers Cinemas by releasing Hollywood films, and maybe the Shaw Brothers Film Company will be reformed next.

If Shao Tycoon's plan is successful, Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas may be able to come back to life.

The New Art City comedy released by the Golden Princess Theater did not last long, and it was hurriedly completed after only one week, with a box office of only more than 3 million. However, the next release of "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" made Kang Jianfei shake his head and sigh, because the producer of this film is Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Company.

After the release of "A Date with a Beautiful Woman", it received praise like cháo, and withstood the competition between "ET" and Xu Ke's "Breaking the City", and won more than 9 million box office in one fell swoop.

As for Xu Ke's "Breaking City", the audience's evaluation of this film went to two extremes, those who liked it thought it was a classic, and those who didn't like it were dismissed as a bad movie because they couldn't get used to Xu Ke's fast pace. "Breaking the City" was only released in New Era theaters for 10 days, and the cumulative box office in Hong Kong was 7.83 million, which is much less than Chen Xunqi's "A Date with a Beauty".

After Xu Ke finished the film, he felt shameless, and took the initiative to give up the remuneration of the director and screenwriter, and only needed 10% of the producer's share to maintain the film studio. (To be continued.) )
