"Golden Harvest DreamWorks Joins Forces to Detonate a Box Office Frenzy"

is like a whirlwind blowing across the Xiangjiang River, and the box office of "Deadly Express" soars like a rocket. In just one week, the cumulative box office of "Fatal Express" has reached 14.57 million, attracting an exclamation from inside and outside Hong Kong Island.

The only regret is that the average attendance rate of Deadly Express is rapidly declining, even dropping to 50% at one point. The main reason for this is that the audience base in Hong Kong is too small, and the 41 cinemas are too dense, so the overall attendance rate has been lowered.

After reducing the number of theaters to 30, "Deadly Express" quickly stabilized its attendance and grew at a rate of millions per day.

"It's really profitable to make movies!" Ye Xueping looked at the fans pouring into the theater outside the car window, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "There are many movies that lose money, and more than a dozen film companies in Hong Kong go bankrupt every year. And this time I didn't make it alone, Golden Harvest and the theater chain still have a piece of the pie, plus the budget of this movie is high, no matter how well it sells in Hong Kong, it can't recover the cost, and it can only make money by relying on the overseas box office. ”

Ye Xueping is just a literary young man who likes movies, and he doesn't know anything about the filming and distribution of movies, so he asked in surprise: "Didn't the newspaper say that the box office of this movie must break 30 million?" How can you not recover the cost? ”

Kang Jianfei said: "The filming budget of "Deadly Express" is 50 million, plus nearly 2 million publicity expenses, and the theater has to share more than 40% of the box office, how do you say to recover the cost? ”

Ye Xueping was surprised: "Isn't there still a gap of more than 30 million?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded: "Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia have a good influence in Japan, and the Japanese box office will definitely make money." ”

The two were chatting about the movie, and Li Saifeng's father, Li Qiming, sat in the passenger seat, turned his head to them and said, "Instant noodles produced by Kangle Food Factory." Next week, it will be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores and railway systems in the Guangdong/East region, do you want to go to the factory? ”

Since the establishment of the factory, Ye Xueping has only been busy opening up sales channels, and Kang Jianfei has not been concerned after throwing money at it, and only sent an accountant to do the accounts, and neither of them has been to Shenzhen/Shenzhen.

However, Li Qiming is the most active, after this guy has a career goal, he even throws his lover aside, eats and lives in the factory site, and is even responsible for recruiting and training workers. The preparation time of the factory has been greatly shortened.

"I don't have to go, as long as I have money to make." Kang Jianfei doesn't want to go back to Shenzhen/Shenzhen, his current identity is a fugitive from Hong Kong over there, and it will be bad if he returns to his "hometown" to reveal his flaws.

Ye Xueping glanced at Gao Yahu, who was looking at the car, and said to Kang Jianfei: "The head of the Central Committee will tour south next month. I can get in touch with you and see if you can add our factory to the chief's inspection route. You can go to the reception as the head of the factory. ”

Kang Jianfei waved his hand again and again. said: "Forget it, I will definitely be in the newspaper when I meet Deng Gong, I am afraid that I will offend the Taiwan authorities very much." Kang Jianfei said, suddenly looking at Li Qiming, "Lao Li can leak his face, and the local officials will definitely pay more attention to it." ”

"I don't need to." Li Qiming was taken aback. He has admired the name of the central leader for a long time, and he is quite in awe of it, and there is not much respect, and fear still accounts for the majority.

"Actually, it's a great opportunity. Lao Li should go for a trip, and others can't see the chief if they want to. Ye Xueping persuaded. He himself must not come forward, because he has hundreds of thousands of investments in Kangle Food Company, and this money is definitely a huge amount of money in the mainland, and Ye Xueping can't explain the way at all.

Although the mainland is now engaged in reform and opening up, it still has a very strict grasp of many things, and some things can be done in private, once they are put on the table, even if Ye Xueping's Lao Tzu is the founding father, he will not be able to escape the punishment of the law.

Because of this, in another time and space, Ye Xueping immigrated to Hong Kong with his wife and daughter in the 80s, but it was not until the 90s that he dared to open a company in his own name.

The three of them talked about the development plan of the food company again, and Kang Jianfei and Li Qiming learned from Ye Xueping the real purpose of the central chief's southern tour this time.

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, many areas in the south have developed by leaps and bounds, and the masses in some places and even entire towns and cities have begun to do business, which has caused a series of problems.

Some people have made a fortune, which naturally arouses the envy of other masses, and the addition of various collective enterprises has even harmed the vested interests of many people, so that both the government and the people have a basis for opposing reform. Coupled with the opposition of conservative officials and the deterioration of law and order, the mainland has now set off a wave of reform and reflection, and some people have even deliberately created a terrifying public opinion that China will become capitalist.

In the second half of last year, some self-employed people in the south were fined and confiscated their property, and even directly sentenced to prison when they hit the muzzle of a gun. There was a very famous businessman, who was in the text. Before the end of the revolution, he began to quietly do small business, and when he was reforming and opening up, he already had tens of thousands of funds, and then helped state-owned enterprises to resell inventory goods. This guy was naturally the target of local attacks, but he ran away in advance when he heard the news, but his factory was directly confiscated. According to his later recollections, during the few years he was on the run, he went as far as a coal mine in Heilongjiang......

It is precisely because the local government liquidates the capitalist roaders that many self-employed people selling tea and eggs are afraid to set up stalls, and some of the enterprises that have entered the mainland for investment have also been affected and have closed their doors and withdrawn their investment, which has greatly affected the in-depth development of reform and opening up.

Shenzhen has always been at the forefront of reform, and two years ago, a local slogan was put forward: time is money.

This sentence is nothing now, but it caused great controversy at the time, and some newspapers even criticized the officials in Shenzhen for money worship and wanted to subvert the communist system.

As long as the central leaders acknowledge the achievements of the local reforms, it will be a shot in the arm for the reformers throughout the country.

The reason why 1984 became the first year of Chinese companies was precisely because of Deng Gong's southern tour, which made those who were interested in entrepreneurship rush to create their own private companies.

Li Qiming thought about it, and finally agreed, and asked, "Can you change Mr. Deng's inspection route?" ”

Ye Xueping said with a smile: "Of course it can't be changed, and it is still possible to add an inspection unit temporarily." However, the factory must cooperate with the inspection in advance, and you can also go back to prepare a document and pass the audit. ”

Kang Jianfei didn't care too much about this, he asked Gao Yahu, who was driving, and said, "Brother Gao, do you know any retired soldiers with good skills, I want to hire a few as drivers and bodyguards." ”

Gao Yahu still drove the car intently, and asked: "It's easy to hire retired soldiers, but it's hard to say if you want to hire a retired soldier, is there an age limit for the person Mr. Kang wants?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It's under 40 years old, but don't be too young, young people are not safe." The key is to be honest and able to control your eyes and mouth. ”

Ye Xueping interjected: "Isn't it just a few retired soldiers, this is on me." ”

At this time, it was really simple to recruit retired soldiers from the mainland, and last year Deng Gongcai put forward a 1 million disarmament plan, and the railway soldiers were even transferred to local jobs en masse. However, these laid off soldiers are the most ordinary soldiers, and few of them can meet Kang Jianfei's requirements.

The soldier introduced by Ye Xueping, Kang Jianfei believes in his ability, but he has no confidence in his loyalty at all, and it would be bad if he took the opportunity to plant eyes and ears around him.

I have to say that no matter how Kang Jianfei's mentality changes, he can't change his suspicion of being too suspicious, and he always feels that everyone in the whole world is likely to deal with him.

Gao Yahu drove Kang Jianfei to Ye Xueping's house, and the little girl Ye Zijing ran over, hugging Kang Jianfei's thighs and looking at him with wide eyes, obviously waiting for Kang Jianfei to take out the small gift.

Su Yuanyuan came out with the washed apples, Ye Zipei didn't care about the eyes of others, and sat directly next to Kang Jianfei to help her man peel the apples. Since the two had an adulterous relationship, Ye Zipei, a pretty widow who was originally serious and self-loving, basically went to Hong Kong every one or two months, just to be able to stay with Kang Jianfei for one night.

Li Qiming has a bad opinion of Ye Zipei, the "fox spirit", because his daughter Li Saifeng is also Kang Jianfei's lover, so he naturally has no good impression of his daughter's rival.

Mr. Kang now owns Phoenix Television, Oriental DreamWorks, Oriental Entertainment and Fengxing Records, as well as a film and television city under construction, as well as several buildings and theaters that have been purchased at low prices. It is rumored that Kang Jianfei's net worth has exceeded 1 billion, and he has not relied on the funds absorbed by the stock market, and has become the youngest top richest man in Hong Kong.

Li Qiming thinks that he has struggled all his life, and his assets of tens of millions have come to an end, so he admires Kang Jianfei, a rich man, and sends his daughter to hug his thighs without shame.

Kang Jianfei is not married yet, Li Qiming has the intention of marrying his daughter to Kang Jianfei, no matter how many women Kang Jianfei has around him, but as long as he is not married for a day, Li Qiming feels that his daughter still has a chance.

"Ah Fei, I heard that your movie is a big hit again? I haven't had time to go to the cinema yet. Ye Zipei cut a piece of apple and fed it affectionately to Kang Jianfei's mouth.

Before Kang Jianfei could speak, Su Yuanyuan couldn't wait to say: "Zipei, that "Deadly Express" is really good, I went into the theater to watch it three times in a row. Cheng Long's kung fu is so powerful, and he laughs so much that his stomach hurts when he fights, Lin Qingxia and Sophie? Marceau is all beautiful. Do you look at my hairstyle, or do you learn from Sophie in the movie? Marceau's look done. ”

Ye Zipei said: "I have watched Cheng Long's movie "Drunken Fist", which is really funny. ”

For the Hong Kong film industry, the advent of "Fatal Express" is not just as simple as a good seller. The successful cooperation between the two largest studios has brought a very delicate atmosphere to the major studios, which have always been opposed to each other, and the independent studios and small directors have benefited from this, and they have more room to survive than before.
