Chen Bosen wrote a summary film review for this year's Spring Festival movies in "Film Fortnightly": "Don't mention "Wulang Gossip Stick", which stepped on the tail of the Spring Festival file, the other 5 movies are remarkable, thank you for this visual feast brought to the audience by all film practitioners......

The first thing to say is Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki", perhaps because of Xu Guanjie's absence, this comeback work of the cold-faced laugher is a bit unsatisfactory, and the box office loss to "Best Partner 3", which is also an urban comedy, should be the meaning of the title. "Teppanyaki" lacks some of the previous jokes and fools in the past, adding a bit of human touch to it, but this transformation is not very thorough, so the whole film seems a bit nondescript. However, fans who like Xu Guanwen should not miss this "Teppanyaki", but it may be a little boring for other audiences......

As for the Western film "Star Wars 3" introduced by Anle Cinemas, I think anyone who likes to watch movies in this series should know the truth. It's a pity that the dubbing and translation are not in place, and the publicity investment is too low, and many viewers don't even know that the film has been released in Hong Kong......

Before the release of "Shaolin Kid", people always thought that it was a sequel to "Shaolin Temple", but in fact, this movie has little to do with Shaolin Temple. The filming location of the film is on the bank of the beautiful Li River, 108,000 miles away from the Shaolin Temple in Songshan. Different from the heavy national feud and family hatred in "Wulang Bagua Stick", the style of "Shaolin Kid" is relaxed and lively, the storyline and environment are well matched, and the design of the martial arts scenes is very harmonious with the style of the work, which can be regarded as a rare masterpiece in kung fu movies......

"The Queen's Secret of the Best Partner" is the biggest surprise of this year's Spring Festival, the film was filmed in France and invited the actors of 007 to join, which has its own advantages with "Fatal Express" released on Christmas. In this film, Mecca's use of high technology is upgraded again......

After the end, let's talk about "The Terminator", because it began to play the banner of Kang Jianfei's production, so I went to watch it as soon as it was released. Here I have to say a word. is also a Hollywood sci-fi film, "Terminator" has a tighter plot than "Star Wars 3", and the pace is much faster, and the audience is not given the opportunity to go to the bathroom halfway. The director and screenwriter of the film are both named James? Cameron, this is a little-known figure, but his directing technique is extremely sophisticated, and this film will definitely be a sensation if it is released in the United States......"

As Chen Bosen said, "The Terminator" did cause a sensation in the United States.

……

After all, Hollywood films are not very popular in Hong Kong, so even a conscientious blockbuster like "Terminator", coupled with Kang Jianfei's promotion regardless of the cost. But after its box office reached 14 million, "The Terminator" finally began to sell a little in Hong Kong.

After gradually reducing the number of screenings, "Terminator" grossed 16.74 million at the box office in Hong Kong, nearly 2 million less than last year's "ET".

As for "Shaolin Kid" and "Best Partner 3", the box office of these two films has been climbing. Both broke through the 20 million mark.

And on the other side of the ocean, a week after the release of "The Terminator" in North America. It quickly became a sensation.

20th Century Fox wasn't very optimistic about "The Terminator" at first. After all, there is no precedent for such a robot sci-fi movie to be a box office hit, and only one media test screening was arranged before the official release, and even the film critic test screening requested by the agents of several leading actors was not held.

But the media test screening was very good, with the Los Angeles Times calling "Terminator an energetic thriller full of all sorts of gore...... It has fuel-injected chase scenes, clever stunts and sly humor."

After seeing the media response to "The Terminator" well, 20th Century Fox finally took it seriously. However, the theater chain is only ready to arrange 600 screens for "Terminator" first, and then increase or decrease the number of screens released according to the box office response.

Anne, who has become Cameron's ambiguous junior? Hurd did not choose to wait passively, but sent "Terminator" directly to the Sundance Film Festival to be exhibited.

The Sundance Film Festival is one of the three largest film festivals in the United States and the largest independent film festival in the United States. However, it has only recently been held for the first time.

The Sundance Film Festival, which had just been founded, was worried that it could not find a good film to support the scene, and after seeing "Terminator", the organizers were overjoyed and directly took "Terminator" as the opening film of the film festival.

The Sundance Film Festival is initiated by a famous Hollywood director, although it has just started and its influence is not very large, but there are many film critics and directors who have been invited to participate in the festival. After "The Terminator" was screened as the opening film of the film festival, it immediately attracted the attention of Hollywood peers and film critics. Hurd buys films.

20th Century Fox reacted at this time, and after communicating with theater operators, "Terminator" was officially released in North America on February 4, with 1,125 screens in the first round of screenings.

February is the off-season for movies in the United States, and the box office of "The Terminator" in the first week was only $4.83 million, although it is the box office champion of this week, but the box office is still too small compared to the summer and Christmas blockbusters, and the attendance rate is also a bit miserable.

In another time and space, "Terminator" was also released in the off-season, but its North American box office was nearly $80 million. The first-week box office of 4.83 million, under normal circumstances, it would be good to have a box office of 20 million when the painting was drawn.

Fortunately, with a good reputation, the attendance rate of "The Terminator" has been slowly rising, so the theater side has not reduced the number of screenings of this movie.

It wasn't until the 11th day of the release of "Terminator" in North America, that is, on February 14, Western Valentine's Day, that the word-of-mouth accumulated by "Terminator" for many days finally broke out. All theaters where "The Terminator" was released were almost full, and the single-day box office on Valentine's Day reached $3.74 million, thus kicking off the "Terminator" movie-going boom.

"Americans in February were supposed to sit at home and watch TV after work, but the advent of 'Terminator' changed that, and it even lowered the ratings of several TV series during the same period," the American TV Guide exclaimed. ”

Variety, America's top entertainment magazine, also praised "The Terminator": "A blazing movie comic strip, full of dazzling filmmaking, grandiose momentum, solid performances and a convincing story...... Schwarzenegger is the perfect person to play a machine-like role of few words. ”

The New York Times focused on the film's violence: "Gifted. Very gifted B-grade ...... There's suspense and personality, it's just that those obligatory fights bleed and make people feel a little sluggish. The latter is a bit too much, lots of car chases, chaotic shootouts, and Mr. Schwarzenegger will brutally remove anything that gets in his way. ”

As the "New York Times" said, "Terminator" is only a B-grade film, not to mention that it is still released in the off-season of the movie, and no matter how popular it is, it is impossible to break 100 million at the box office. But in terms of current popularity, "The Terminator" can still sell $70 or 80 million at the box office in North America.

Cameron, the director of "The Terminator", became an instant hit, not to mention the funniest thing. Schwarzenegger, who plays the villain, is actually better than the actor Michael? Bean is even more popular.

The video distributor also came to the door to produce and distribute the film video for "The Terminator", only to find out that the so-called Oriental Film Company only had an office and an operator. Fortunately, by asking that phone operator. The videotape distributor approached the North American office of DreamWorks Marketing next door.

The owner of the production company of "Terminator" is actually a Hong Kong native, and he is also the director of "Home Alone"!

Kang Jianfei once again appeared on the entertainment pages of American newspapers. This time, he is the producer of "The Terminator". And the twists and turns of the filming process of "The Terminator" were also taken by Annie? Hurd took the initiative to expose.

The Hollywood Reporter praised: "Kang is a director of extraordinary strength and a sharp-eyed businessman, and after Cameron was rejected countless times with the script for 'The Terminator,' only this Asian can see its value." ”

DreamWorks and Golden Harvest had been contacting 20th Century Fox in the hope that it would be able to distribute Deadly Express in North America. Now, with Kang Jianfei being hyped up by American newspapers, 20th Century Fox immediately reacted. As the director of "Home Alone" and the producer of "Terminator", he contacted the theater company to discuss the release of Kang Jianfei's new film.

……

……

Pan Yingzi leaned on the sofa, flipped through the news from the United States, and said in surprise: "Ah Fei." The "Terminator" you invested in broke 10 million at the box office in the United States. ”

"I know, what's all the fuss about." Kang Jianfei walked over on his slippers and hugged this charming goblin into his arms.

"It's 10 million US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars." Pan Yingzi rubbed in Kang Jianfei's arms to adjust a comfortable posture.

The beautiful woman in her arms will be 35 years old in a few months, but the skin on her body is still smooth and white, with a delicate baby face, it always gives people the feeling of being a young girl.

Kang Jianfei stroked Pan Yingzi's flat and smooth lower abdomen, and teased: "You are also the CEO of a star brokerage company, and you are in charge of hundreds of big stars, and you will be sent away for $10 million?" ”

"If you give me $10 million, I'll do nothing right now and stay at home every day." Pan Yingzi threw away the fax materials, sat on Kang Jianfei's lap by the neck, and leaned up to kiss the man's cheek.

For her current life, Pan Yingzi is extremely satisfied. The daily affairs of Oriental Entertainment Company are basically managed by several department managers, and Pan Yingzi only needs to manage the general direction according to Kang Jianfei's instructions. More often, Pan Yingzi attends some cocktail parties and salons, socializes with some officials, bosses and celebrities, and is full of scenery wherever she goes.

As for marriage and family, Pan Yingzi didn't think much about it at all, she had already made up her mind not to get married again. And because she couldn't get pregnant because of physical reasons, Pan Yingzi didn't have any idea of fighting for the wife of the Kang family, she regarded Fang Yihua as her goal in her heart.

There is a Fang Yihua by Shao Yifu's side, why can't Kang Jianfei have a Pan Yingzi by his side?

In order to please Kang Jianfei, Pan Yingzi even did not hesitate to give Xie Zhan as a birthday gift to Kang Jianfei to enjoy, and now her mind is one step further, hoping to become a virtuous helper in Kang Jianfei's career. Because women have to look old after all, only if they can help men in their careers, can they never be abandoned.

Of course, the trick of sending women can also be continued, anyway, Kang Jianfei is so powerful, she doesn't have to worry about being squeezed dry and losing her share.

Pan Yingzi's delicate little hands took out the bad thing that shook her head from Kang Jianfei's crotch, feeling the heat and hardness of the huge thing, her face couldn't help but flush with pink, and she lifted her nightdress and sat down.

Gently shaking her jade buttocks, Pan Yingzi was so relieved that her whole body softened, and she asked with a smile: "Ah Fei, how did you let Ye Zimei be the heroine of the new film?" Didn't you look at other people's waves and want to take the opportunity to eat her? ”

Kang Jianfei rubbed Pan Yingzi's crisp milk and said with a smile: "Yours is not small." ”

Pan Yingzi ripped open the placket of Kang Jianfei's pajamas, kissed the man's strong chest, and said: "Last time Ye Zimei appeared at the celebration banquet of "Deadly Express", there were more than ten movies asking her to be the heroine, and I don't dare to agree to any of them now. ”

Kang Jianfei, as an international director who never hits the streets, will attract the attention of the outside world when he opens a new play, and the heroine in his movie is also named the "flying girl".

Since Pan Yingzi deliberately revealed that Ye Zimei is the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film, this freshly baked flying girl has not become popular before acting, and some independent film companies have also taken the opportunity to ask Ye Zimei to make movies - Ye Zimei's film contract is very low at present, and she will definitely be worth twice as much after starring in Kang Jianfei's movie.

Pan Yingzi sat on it and shook it for more than ten minutes, and finally reached the peak of happiness, she kept asking for kisses from the man with her eyes blurred, and at the same time, her jade buttocks began to rise and fall wildly.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

Where can Pan Yingzi still care about answering the phone, a pair of jade arms hugged her man tightly, undulating and shaking her delicate body like crazy, and finally reached a climax when the phone rang for the fifth time.

Pan Yingzi's head and neck leaned back to the limit, and suddenly her body stiffened, and then she was soft in Kang Jianfei's arms, and her whole body spasmed and trembled.

The two hugged and caressed each other like glue for a while, and Pan Yingzi finally regained her strength and got up to answer the phone that kept ringing.

"Hey...... The owner of the Golden Sound Cinema? Sorry, I'm not available tomorrow...... The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will also make an appointment...... It depends, I'll get in touch another day...... Okay, see you soon! ”

Pan Yingzi hung up the phone and said to Kang Jianfei: "It's really strange that the owner of Jinsheng Cinema wants to ask me for dinner, how can he know my home phone number?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "These people are really powerful, it seems that you should change your number." ”

Not only Pan Yingzi received a call, but Lin Qingxia, Zhou Mingfang, Wu Chenggang and others have also been entangled by the bosses of those theaters in the past few days.

The news that Kang Jianfei was going to reorganize the theater chain finally came out, and I heard that some theaters that were too small would be shaved off, and the theater owners of the New Era Theater Line were anxious one by one. In the past, many of them made money by showing second- or third-round movies or old movies, and some of them also screened pornographic underground films, which were developed because of DreamWorks' film sources and discounts.

Now Kang Jianfei wants to set up another theater company, and he also wants to eliminate some theaters with poor conditions, how can those theater companies not be in a hurry? After all, after getting used to eating meat, no one wants to go back to the days of porridge.

Some time ago, the merchants who were clamoring for Kang Jianfei to stop screening "The Terminator" have only to kneel down to Kang Jianfei and call his grandfather, and they can't contact Kang Jianfei himself, so they have to intercede with Lin Qingxia, Pan Yingzi, Wu Chenggang and others.
