338 [Hu Yuejin returns to Hong Kong]
The box office of nearly 8 million is already good in Hong Kong, why does Xu Ke still feel shameless?
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.
Chen Xunqi and Xu Ke are the generals of DreamWorks and New Art City respectively, from Lei Juekun poaching Chen Xunqi to Kang Jianfei poaching Xu Ke, this back and forth has long been regarded by the outside world as a war between the two film bigwigs.
Lei Juekun invested to help Chen Xunqi get a Yongjia Film Company, and Kang Jianfei invested in Xu Ke to get a film studio, and the outside world has been paying attention to the development of the two and wants to divide the winner from it.
"Breaking the City" and "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" are the first works of Xu Ke Film Studio and Yongjia Pictures respectively, and the two films were released at the same time in the Chūn festival, and they were released in theaters of New Era and Golden Princess respectively.
In this way, the box office battle between "Breaking the City" and "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" was directly derived from the competition between Kang Jianfei and Lei Juekun.
Xu Ke's "Breaking the City" has a box office of nearly 8 million, but this movie has many big scenes and a production cost of more than 5 million; Chen Xunqi's "A Date with a Beauty" has a box office of 9 million, and the biggest expense is the salary of the heroine Xiao Fangfang, and the production cost is less than 1.5 million.
Compared with the two, Xu Ke's "Decisive City" lost too badly, which means that Kang Jianfei lost to Lei Juekun.
However, whether it is "Breaking the City" or "A Date with a Beautiful Woman", they all belong to the escort in this year's chūn festival file, and the real big winner is "ET" released by Shaw Brothers Cinemas, as well as "Water Jǐng Eagle" starring Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao on the Golden Harvest side, as well as Kang Jianfei's "Home Alone".
Hollywood films have always been unaccustomed to Hong Kong, and there are few cases where Western films surpass Hong Kong films at the box office, and "Alien" only sold 3.2 million box office when it was released in Hong Kong.
But this time it was different, the box office of "ET" soared after its release, especially with the help of Shaw Brothers, which was far more powerful than the distribution of Anle Pictures in the original time and space, and the box office broke 10 million in a blink of an eye. And "Water Jǐng Eagle" starring Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao is not to be outdone, and the box office of the two movies soon broke through 15 million together, and it is still being released.
The weirdest thing is not this, but the new era cinema directly released Kang Jianfei's "Home Alone" after "Breaking the City" was painted.
"Water Jǐng Eagle" was released by Golden Harvest Cinemas on the first day of the chūn festival, while "ET" and "Home Alone" were only released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Water jǐng Eagle" was the first to be painted with a box office of 24.5 million, and then only "ET" and "Home Alone" were left to fight.
A Hong Kong tabloid jokingly said: "This year's chūn festival is to watch ghosts fight!" ”
Ghosts are the ghosts of foreign devils, and "ET" and "Home Alone" are foreign films, so fighting is a ghost fight.
After the end of the chūn festival, Cheng Long's "Water Jǐng Eagle" ranked first with a box office of 24.5 million; "Home Alone" was directed by Kang Jianfei, coupled with the rumors that this film "rì earns tens of millions of dollars", it actually sold 21.4 million at the box office of a rare Western film; And "ET" ranked third with a box office of 18.6 million.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

"Two cylinders."
"Bump!"
"Wait, huh!"
"What are you doing, Sister Qingxia, you don't let go of your chicken hue!"
"That's it, other people's Qingyi sè has been abolished by you."
"Don't say more, get the money soon."
“……”
Lin Qingxia smiled and spread her hand, while Wen Bixuan threw the 1 yuan coin with a bitter face, and then rubbed mahjong depressedly to prepare for the next game.
The last few days of the year are rest, and the stars in the entertainment industry are no exception. Some singers and TV stars may have to perform during the chūn festival, but most movie actors take the opportunity to take a break, and the biggest entertainment during the break is playing cards.
Playing mahjong and poker is a reserved program for Hong Kong celebrities during the Chinese New Year, and this trend has been passed down from the 60s to the present.
Lin Qingxia is not too good at playing cards, Taiwanese mahjong is just making do, and playing Hong Kong mahjong is even more superficial.
Novices are generally very addicted to cards, a few days ago Lin Qingxia was pulled to learn to play Hong Kong mahjong, so he asked Zhong Chuhong to practice. Because of the lack of three and one, and Kang Jianfei was not much interested in playing cards, he called Wen Bixuan over with a phone call, and the other accompanied Zhou Yanfa.
Everyone doesn't gamble much, and the gambling money starting at 1 yuan is nothing to several big stars.
Among the four, Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia are not very good at playing cards, but Wen Bixuan was nurtured by her gambler father since childhood, and she played a good hand of cards at a young age.
It's a pity that Wen Bixuan thinks that the gambling money of 1 yuan is too little, and she always wants to be a big brand, and she is too lazy to be a chicken hu even if she draws herself, but she loses the most with the best card skills.
Kang Jianfei answered the phone, walked to Lin Qingxia and sat down, and asked, "How much have you won?" ”
Wen Bixuan pouted and said, "Sister Qingxia's luck is too good, she has won more than three hundred." ”
"You're losing the most, aren't you?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile. He only watched Wen Bixuan play a few handfuls from the side, and he knew that if this girl was not particularly lucky, she would definitely lose the way she played a big name.
Wen Bixuan sighed and said: "I listened to the cards of Qingyi Sè in the last hand, and I was originally going to draw myself, but Sister Qingxia took the lead with a chicken beard." ”
Zhou Yanfa doesn't like to play cards very much, he was purely called by Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong as a sparring partner, he held his cheek raiser in his hand, touched the cards with one hand and said: "Qingxia's luck is really good, the three of us lose, and she wins alone." ”
Hearing Zhou Yanfa say this, Kang Jianfei remembered an interview video he saw in his previous life.
The reporter interviewed many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, specifically asking about playing cards, and those celebrities also took the opportunity to break many secrets.
For example, Chen Baixiang claims to have a high IQ and is very good at studying various card skills, which can be called a skilled player, but he loses more and wins less when playing cards; Alan Tam usually doesn't say a word, and keeps stuffing money into his trouser pocket when he plays cards, and he has hardly lost a single card game; Anita Mui is a big liai, she doesn't know how to play cards but often goes to join in the fun, and she has to pay if she loses money; Wang Jing, the fat man, has made a lot of gambling movies, but his card skills are so rotten; Jacky Cheung lost to Carina Lau every time he played cards, and then won back from Tony Leung; Wang Guxian is a big confusion when playing cards, and often makes everyone laugh; Lin Qingxia is a winning general at the gambling table, obviously playing cards very badly, but she is so lucky that she can make her card friends angry to death.
Kang Jianfei didn't sit next to him for long, and Zhou Yanfa's girlfriend Chen Yulian came to him.
Seeing that Zhou Runfa played twice, Chen Yulian complained that Zhou Run's card skills were too bad, and the last four women fought around the gambling table.
Zhou Yanfa had long felt that it was awkward to play cards with three women, but now he was finally relieved and sat next to him and chatted with Kang Jianfei.
When talking about next year's filming plan, Kang Jianfei pointed to the gambling table and asked: "Ah Fa, what do you think of me making a gambling film?" ”
Zhou Yanfa asked strangely: "A gambling movie like "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants"? ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "It's a little different, it's just interesting anyway." ”
Zhou Yunfa nodded and said, "Mr. Kang's films are very interesting. ”
"How about you being the leading actor?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Me?" Zhou Yanfa said loudly in surprise.
The four women who were playing cards looked at them at the same time, and Chen Yulian asked Zhou Yanfa, "What are you talking about?" What a fuss. ”
Zhou Yunfa explained: "Mr. Kang is going to make a gambling movie and wants me to be the leading actor, I don't even know how to play mahjong, where can I play a good gambling movie?" ”
"Fa Ge makes gambling films? It must be interesting. Zhong Chuhong said with a smile, she has collaborated with Zhou Yunfa on several films, so the personal relationship is very good.
Wen Bixuan took the opportunity to say: "Brother, is it okay for me to be the heroine?" ”
"Oh no, you're too young." Kang Jianfei shook his head.
The girlfriend of the God of Gambling should be beautiful and graceful and noble, Zhong Chuhong is too good, Lin Qingxia is too heroic, and Wen Bixuan is not a good candidate at this stage, Guan Zhilin's image is very consistent.
In fact, compared with the heroine, the second female lead in "God of Gamblers" has more scenes, should you let Yu Huanping go to find Wang Guxian?
Kang Jianfei stayed for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, before he got up and said to a few people: "You continue to play, I'll go to the airport to pick up someone first." ”
With Kang Jianfei's current identity, apart from his woman, there are few people who are worthy of him to pick up the plane in person.
This time, Kang Jianfei wanted to pick up Hu Juncai, who returned to Hong Kong for the New Year.
Driving to the airport, Kang Jianfei soon saw Hu Juncai coming out, and this kid was followed by a girl.
Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile and had a bear hug with Hu Juncai after a long absence, and then said, "Who is this beauty?" You don't introduce it either. ”
Hu Juncai smiled and put his arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "Ye Zishan, my girlfriend." Zishan, this is Kang Jianfei, the big capitalist I often talk about. ”
Ye Zishan looks like she is about ten years old, and her clothes are very plain, but her face without powder is very standard, and she has an innocent green chūn atmosphere on her body. She generously stretched out her hand, took the initiative to shake hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Big capitalist, hello! ”
"Hello, beauty." Kang Jianfei shook hands with Ye Zishan, and then whispered to Hu Juncai, "Good boy, you have also learned to step on two boats." ”
Hu Juncai sighed and said, "I broke up with Huang Minyi early. ”
Kang Jianfei asked: "It won't be because I got you to Shaolin Temple and separated the two places, right?" ”
"Not exactly." Hu Juncai replied.
"This girl has a good temperament, and she is an official in the family?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Hu Juncai whispered: "Jiangnan Ye family." ”
How many more Ye families can there be in Jiangnan?
Kang Jianfei sighed in his heart, another good cabbage was arched away, beautiful and powerful at home, where to find such a good girl?
But if he really encounters such an affair, Kang Jianfei will definitely not sit still, so he doesn't want to find a powerful woman to take care of himself. To give up an entire forest for a big tree is a broken brain.
The two muttered to each other, and in a blink of an eye, they had already walked out of the airport, Ye Zishan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what are you two big men talking about?" ”
Kang Jianfei's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm asking where Ah Cai deceived a fairy back." ”
"Hehe, you are really good at talking," Ye Zishan walked out of the airport, looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance, and sighed, "It's my first time in Hong Kong, and the buildings here are really high." ”
