In late May 1983, Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Wrong Love" was officially released.

In another time and space, this film is a stepping stone for Shaw Brothers Pictures to turn from martial arts films to urban comedy, and it makes a lot of money at the box office with a low-cost production, which is a rare highlight in the two years before Shaw Brothers closed down.

But it's a pity that Kang Jianfei invested in "Seven Days of Wrong Love" very "wisely", and this movie has nothing to do with Shaw Brothers since then.

In terms of the main actors, the male protagonist is still played by Zhong Zhentao, but the heroine has been replaced by Ye Tong to Zhong Chuhong, which greatly increases the attraction to the audience, as for Zhang Guorong and Li Yuanfeng, they are just cameos, and there are not many scenes.

On the first day of the release of "Seven Days of Wrong Table", the box office situation could only be regarded as good, but the attendance rate skyrocketed in the following days. In the new era cinema chain, 22 theaters were released at the same time, and the average attendance rate reached up to 8 percent, even if it was placed in a good schedule, it was difficult to achieve such results.

In less than a week, the box office of "Seven Days of Wrong Love" has exceeded 5 million, which has shattered the glasses of the Hong Kong media and film industry.

Released at the same time as "Seven Days of Wrongness", there are Shaw Brothers' "Feng Shen Tribulation", Siyuan Pictures' "Retired Detective" and so on, among which "Feng Shen Tribulation" was completed within five days of release, and "Retired Detective" was released for two weeks. The performance of "Seven Days of Wrong Love" is really unsatisfactory, half a month has passed, and the box office has jumped all the way to break the 10 million mark, and it is still continuing to attract money.

This is not a good schedule such as summer and Christmas, and the box office of "Seven Days of Wrong Love" is already too good to be heartbroken.

Some professionals predict that "Seven Days of Wrong Love" will get at least 15 million local box office, ranking in the top ten of Hong Kong's annual list this year.

Chen Bosen wrote a film review for "Seven Days of Wrong Love" in "Film Fortnightly": "The heroine's husband ran away with a lot of debt, so the government bailiff sent a guard to monitor the woman 24 hours a day. The poor guard and the bankrupt abandoned woman, the lonely man and the widow are in the same room, and gradually change from a vindictive family to a dewy couple......

It's a very clichΓ© story. Neither the characters nor the storyline have any breakthroughs to speak of, and the ending lacks a sense of climax, which is simply a bit too bland. However, the screenwriter and director Zhang Jianting can grasp the details and play them perfectly, playing extraordinary effects in the ordinary, making the original ordinary story colorful and rich......"

The report of "Industrial and Commercial Daily" changed the angle: "Last year, Chen Xunqi and Gao Zhisen defected to Princess Jin, which had a great impact on DreamWorks. Gao Zhisen continues Kang Jianfei's famous "Happy Ghost" series, and is Hong Kong's premier campus comedy director, and Chen Xunqi is Kang Jianfei's right-hand man. There were predictions at the time. The departure of these two DreamWorks generals will greatly damage DreamWorks' vitality. But this situation did not appear, McDonaldjie successfully took over "Happy Ghost", Yu Yantai also performed well this year, and now the appearance of Zhang Jianting has further enriched the director lineup of DreamWorks......"

Anyway. Zhang Jianting became an instant hit, only with the movie "Seven Days of Wrong Love". directly ranks among Hong Kong's first-class commercial film directors.

Kang Jianfei's mood was particularly refreshing. He didn't know that Lu Dao's "Seven Days of Wrong Love" was the fifth place at this year's annual box office in the original time and space, but he only knew that Lu Dao's movie should be a blockbuster. But the box office is so high that Kang Jianfei still feels a little surprised, and it is a rare surprise.

During the trial film of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", the theater managers of the New Era Cinema Line were actually not optimistic about this movie, and basically only arranged a seven-day release time. But the subsequent box office response forced the theaters to revise their film schedules. Some small company movies scheduled to be released later have vacated the screen to make way for "Seven Days of Wrong Love".

Judging from the current attendance rate, it is no problem for "Seven Days of Wrong Love" to stay on the screen for a month.

……

Zhao Yazhi was wearing a white dress, reclining on the sofa and peeling grapes. The graceful body curves are fully revealed. She said while watching TV: "Ah Fei, my contract with TVB will expire in half a year." ”

Kang Jianfei wrapped a bathrobe, stretched his waist and walked over and said: "After it expires, turn over the film and television contract and the brokerage contract, I am not stingy with wireless stations." ”

"I didn't think about money, I just felt awkward to continue to stay in TVB." Zhao Yazhi gave up a piece of the sofa for Kang Jianfei to sit down, and he pillowed his head on Kang Jianfei's thigh to eat grapes.

Zhao Yazhi continues to stay in TVB It is indeed a loss, since "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast in Taiwan two years ago, Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu have become popular in Taiwan. How popular is "Chu Liuxiang" in Taiwan? At that time, Taiwan even held funerals, and the guests at the funeral used the theme song of Chu Liuxiang, and Zheng Shaoqiu's trip to Taipei also caused a traffic jam.

Two years ago, Zhao Yazhi's film salary in Hong Kong was only about 100,000 yuan, but Taiwan's film company offered her a salary of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to make a movie. It's a pity that TVB won't let people go, Zhao Yazhi only went to Taiwan to shoot a film and was locked in Hong Kong, which is really a very depressing thing for an actor.

Zheng Shaoqiu is similar, due to his popularity in Taiwan, he has more films than Zhao Yazhi. But after not filming two dramas in Taiwan, Zheng Shaoqiu was called back to Hong Kong by TVB to save the scene, which made the film company in Taiwan very dissatisfied.

Kang Jianfei brushed away a trace of hair on Zhao Yazhi's face, threw a grape into her mouth, and said, "As long as you come to DreamWorks, I promise to make a big show for you." ”

Zhao Yazhi turned over and said, "You separated the TV production business into DreamWorks, it seems that the recent ratings are not very good." ”

"There are ups and downs in everything you do, and it's impossible for the ratings to keep pressing TVB." Kang Jianfei smiled indifferently. After he separated the TV series and variety show production business of Phoenix TV, the cost of the TV station was directly reduced by more than half, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, which also makes Phoenix TV's response always half a beat slower than TVB when producing TV dramas, and the ratings are gradually suppressed.

Moreover, after the separation of production and broadcasting, because the supplier and the buyer are one-to-one, this causes the TV drama producer to have a slack mentality - anyway, there is no worry about not being able to sell, and the quality of the TV series produced has a tendency to decline.

Huang Xizhao has reacted to Kang Jianfei many times, and even said that if this continues, the TV station will go directly to Taiwan to buy films. No more DreamWorks TV Productions films.

Kang Jianfei had to find Xu Xiaoming and scold him, and then set the rules that the salaries of employees in DreamWorks' TV production department were directly linked to the ratings of TV dramas and variety shows produced by him. Each program sets the basic ratings, once the ratings of any program are lower than the basic point, the corresponding points will be deducted, and the bonus will be issued according to the score during the assessment at the end of the year, and the bonus will be lost after the points are deducted. If the program he produces is below the basic rating point for several consecutive episodes, and there are no excusable special circumstances, then the person in charge of the program will either be demoted or get out.

Of course. If a good show is sold overseas, then all the people involved will pay a generous bonus at the end of the year.

As soon as these rules were set, the employees of the TV production department were immediately motivated, and the ratings of the program have increased a lot since June.

Zhao Yazhi suddenly remembered something. reminded: "Ah Fei, I heard that TVB is ready to make stars. I want to bring a few newcomers out. ”

"Huh. Shouldn't you be talking about Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Tang Zhenye? Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and said: "It seems that it is just a few of them, and now they are doing a publicity plan, I think TVB will make a big move this time." ”

What big moves can be made?

is nothing more than creating the "Wireless Five Tiger Generals", among TVB's veteran TV male stars, Zheng Shaoqiu is now staying in Taiwan more than Hong Kong, and Zhou Yunfa jumped to DreamWorks. Xie Xian and the others are too old, and Fang Yihua has to support the newcomer to the position.

Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi tightly in his arms, sniffed the fragrance on her body and said, "TVB has a big move, I don't have any plans." You just wait to see the show. ”

Since the beginning of this year, the battle for ratings between Phoenix TV and TVB has been won and lost, but with the gradual enrichment of Phoenix TV's variety shows, the hegemony of TVB's "Happy Tonight" is slowly disappearing.

The average viewership of "Happy Tonight" has remained above 60% in previous years, which is really a terrifying statistic. After the unremitting efforts of Phoenix Channel, the average rating of "Happy Tonight" in the latest quarter is only about 50%, although it is still far higher than many variety shows on Phoenix Channel, but the overall trend is declining, just because its loyal audience is slowly being shunted to Phoenix Channel.

As for the TV series, Phoenix TV has been slightly inferior to Radio TV in the past month, and the good drama that Kang Jianfei said is naturally that there is a high-quality TV series that is being secretly planned.

Jin Chaoqun, who Kang Jianfei was looking for, finally appeared, and when Yu Huanping found him, Jin Chaoqun had just been promoted from a villain actor to a show host on China Television.

Hearing that DreamWorks asked him to shoot a TV series, and he was also an upright Bao Qingtian, Jin Chaoqun immediately quit his job as the host of the bad show and ran to Hong Kong in a hurry. He was born as a stage actor, and he also studied some dramas, but he can only play a villain after more than ten years in Taiwan, so I don't need to talk about how uncomfortable I feel, how can I let go of this good opportunity?

Kang Jianfei met Jin Chaoqun two days ago, and the only thing that dissatisfied Kang Jianfei was that this Bao Qingtian didn't have a big stomach and not enough meat on his face. So before the filming started, Kang Jianfei assigned Jin Chaoqun a task, asking him to gain at least 10 kilograms within a month.

Now the props department of DreamWorks is already making costumes and props for "Bao Qingtian". When it comes to the influence of Chinese people around the world, "Bao Qingtian" even surpasses "The Legend of the New White Lady", so Kang Jianfei is very confident in the ratings of "Bao Qingtian".

"Ahh Zhao Yazhi was comfortably leaning on Kang Jianfei's arms, and was suddenly picked up by a man. After she exclaimed, she hooked Kang Jianfei's neck with her arms, and was carried into the bedroom by her sweetheart and pressed on the bed.

His breasts were being ruthlessly ravaged by men, Zhao Yazhi's face gradually flushed, and he stared at Kang Jianfei charmingly and said, "Big villain, it's only past nine o'clock, you just want to do that kind of thing." ”

"Who called Sister Zhi, you are so tempting?" Kang Jianfei pulled the hem of her dress at night, and found that Zhao Yazhi's private parts were already wet, so he pushed her panties away and couldn't wait to step forward.

"Tap, um......" Zhao Yazhi felt that his body was filled, and his little hands stroked back and forth on Kang Jianfei's waist, and he hugged the man desperately, and his mouth let out a moan of pleasure.

……

The time is approaching July, and the Red Pavilion concert of the Happy Girl Group has ended successfully, and the main movies that will be released in the summer files of major theaters have also started pre-release promotion.

"Seven Days of Wrong Love" was finally painted in Hong Kong, with a cumulative box office of 16.3 million Hong Kong dollars. The cost of this movie is only 1.6 million, of which Zhong Zhentao and Zhong Chuhong's salaries account for a large proportion.

Such a terrifying ratio of cost and box office is almost the same as Kang Jianfei's "Happy Ghost", and Zhang Jianting has also become the most dazzling rookie director this year.

After entering July, major companies have strengthened their publicity efforts, such as DreamWorks' "God of Gamblers", Shaw Brothers' "Shaolin and Wudang", Baohe's "Five Lucky Stars", and Xinyicheng's "Yin and Yang Mistakes", respectively, representing four theaters, and the Hong Kong film industry suddenly became cloudy.
