The morning breeze rustled the curtains, Zhou Xingchi sat at the head of the bed with sleepy eyes, opened his mouth wide and yawned, and then was stunned for a few minutes to wake up.

When Zhou Xingchi finished washing up and came to the dining room, the rest of the crew had already arrived, waiting for breakfast to go to work.

"Director Wu in the morning, Director Zhong in the morning, Uncle Shrimp ......in the morning" Although Zhou Xingchi is a well-known star, he does not dare to be arrogant in front of Wu Yusen, Zhong Zhiwen, Huang Shrimp and others at this time, and they all greet the past with smiling faces.

Huang Shrimp spread out the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" in his hand, pointed to the news on it and said: "This Liang Jiahui is really declining, he was banned by Taiwan as soon as he became an actor." ”

Wu Yusen and Zhong Zhiwen were not surprised, they had seen this kind of thing a lot. More than two years ago, Xu Anhua filmed "Running to the Angry Sea" in Hainan, and she only used a pseudonym at first, but she did not escape the fate of being banned after winning the Academy Awards. Now Leung Jiahui actually used his real name to go to the mainland to make films, and he won the actor because of this, so it is no wonder that he was not banned by the Taiwan authorities.

Zhou Xingchi didn't understand this, and asked curiously: "You don't need to be so strict with the ban." ”

Huang Shrimp shook his head and said, "I don't have to talk about this, Liang Jiahui's kid is unlucky." ”

Zhou Xingchi took the newspaper and took a look, and the news headline of "Industrial and Commercial Daily" was straightforward, directly "The new actor of the Academy Awards was banned".

The specific content of the ban order is: All films, television, and audio-visual products in which Leung Ka-fai participates are not allowed to be sold into Taiwan, and Leung Ka-fai is ordered to report to the Taiwan Information Bureau within seven days, seriously reflect on it, and publicly express a letter of repentance, promising that he will no longer secretly cooperate with bandits and spies, otherwise he will be permanently blocked.

When Zhou Xingchi was reading the newspaper, Zeng Bolin quickly ran in from outside and went directly towards Kang Jianfei's bedroom. "Knock knock" on the door.

Kang Jianfei got dressed and opened the door, Guan Zhilin on the big bed inside slept soundly, and her snow-white calves like lotus roots were exposed, which was enough to arouse the ambiguous fantasies of men.

"What's wrong?" Kang Jian flew out and closed the door, he knew that Zeng Bolin must have something important to do when he came so early.

Zeng Bolin whispered: "The five actors, including Zheng Shaoqiu, said that they wanted to quit the crew of "Shushan". ”

"What's their reasoning?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Zeng Bolin took out a newspaper and said: "In addition to feeling that the filming of "Shushan" has dragged on for too long, the most important thing is this, they are afraid that they will be frightened." ”

Kang Jianfei took the newspaper and looked at it, and it was the news that Liang Jiahui was blocked by the Taiwan Information Bureau.

The two were talking. Suddenly, the Filipino maid ran over and asked, "Mr. Kang, Qiu Guan and Sister Fei are outside, do you want to open the door?" ”

Just listening to the maid's names for Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia, I knew that she was a fan of the two. Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Take them to the living room." ”

Kang Jianfei changed into a formal set of clothes, brushed his teeth and washed his face before walking into the living room. Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia had been waiting there for a long time.

"Mr. Kang......" Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia hurriedly stood up.

"You may be seated." Kang Jianfei interrupted them and said, "If you have something to say, say it slowly, don't worry." ”

Zheng Shaoqiu was difficult to talk about the breach of the contract, and Shen Dianxia said with a smile: "Mr. Kang, you have watched "Shushan" be filmed for more than half a year, and now I don't know when Ludao will be able to restart. Qiu Guan can't always be idle. I took a few film appointments in Taiwan, do you see if it's ......"

What took the film contract in Taiwan, these are just excuses, mainly because Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia were frightened by the news that Liang Jiahui was blocked. is afraid that Zheng Shaoqiu's filming in the mainland will also be banned.

Now Zheng Shaoqiu's biggest fame is in Taiwan, Taiwan's TV stations and film companies give salaries that are even much higher than Hong Kong's, Zheng Shaoqiu can't afford to give up the entire Taiwan market in order to make a blockbuster.

Seeing that Kang Jianfei didn't speak, Zheng Shaoqiu finally pulled down his son and said, "Mr. Kang, do you think you can cancel the film contract of "Shushan"?" ”

With all that said, what else can Kang Jianfei do? Is it difficult to ask Zheng Shaoqiu for liquidated damages?

"Since this is the case, it will not affect Mr. Zheng's development in Taiwan, and I hope that there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future." Kang Jianfei pretended to smile generously, in fact, he was already quite dissatisfied with Zheng Shaoqiu in his heart.

No way, slut Fei is such a cautious person.

After Kang Jianfei expressed his attitude, Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had already had an unpleasant quarrel with Shao Yifu before, and if they offended Kang Jianfei again now, there will be very few opportunities to take on dramas in Hong Kong in the future.

The purpose of Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia's coming today is to avoid falling out with Kang Jianfei because of this matter, and after many inquiries, they learned that Kang Jianfei was filming at No. 4 Repulse Bay.

Kang Jianfei looked at his watch, stood up and said, "It's not early, I have to film later, so I won't leave two more." ”

Since Kang Jianfei had already issued an eviction order, Zheng Shaoqiu and the others were not good at staying any longer, so they left immediately after saying goodbye.

After waiting out of the gate of the villa, Zheng Shaoqiu sighed: "I'm afraid I'll offend Mr. Kang miserably this time." ”

Shen Dianxia blamed herself: "I didn't think about it carefully at the beginning, I thought that "Shushan" was a big cast, so I asked you to take it, and now there are so many incidents." ”

Zheng Shaoqiu comforted her instead: "It's nothing, who can predict everything." ”

The car of the two was parked outside the gate, Shen Dianxia sat in the cab and started the car, and said with emotion: "Alas, the first time I met Kang Jianfei, he was still a trick on the Shaw Brothers set, and he even asked you to be a stand-in." It's only been a few years, and he has become a big man like Sir Shao, and his life is unpredictable, and no one can guess it. ”

……

When Shen Dianxia sighed about life, Liang Jiahui was looking at the newspaper in a daze, just as Kang Jianfei once predicted, he was really banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau after becoming an actor.

"Jingle Bell ......"

A phone ringing woke up Leung Ka-fai, he put down the newspaper to answer the phone, only to hear the other side say: "Mr. Leung, you don't have to shoot tomorrow's advertisement, the advertiser thinks your image does not match their product." ”

"I know it." Leung Ka-fai hung up the phone with a "snap".

After the hits of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", Leung Ka-fai became famous in Hong Kong. But he didn't accept any more film appointments, but waited for the filming of the next few parts of "The Legend of Cixi", but after waiting for half a year, he was told that the next few films would not be filmed.

Leung Ka-fai's savings at this time were almost used, and he finally accepted a movie contract and an advertising contract after winning the actor. Now it is in vain because it has been blocked by Taiwan.

"Knock knock!"

Just when Liang Jiahui was distressed, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and he said angrily: "The door is not locked, come in." ”

Li Hanxiang pushed the door in, and saw Liang Jiahui with a depressed face, he hated iron and said: "Look at you, what has become of you now?" It's just that it was blocked by Taiwan, and it wasn't like the sky was falling. ”

Liang Jiahui squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Master, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. ”

"I'm not here to comfort you today," Li Hanxiang suddenly changed the topic and asked, "What's going on with Ah Lang, how can you say that you will break up if you break up?" ”

Liang Jiahui was silent for a while and said: "We both feel that each other is not very suitable for lovers. So we broke up, and I'm still good friends with Aaron. ”

Li Hanxiang sighed. He is very optimistic about Leung Jiahui, a prospective son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Leung Jiahui broke up with his daughter quietly.

An old man and a young man sat there staring at each other with big eyes, and it took a long time for Leung Jiahui to say, "Master, what do you think of me going to DreamWorks?" ”

Li Hanxiang said: "You are now blocked by the Taiwan Information Bureau, will DreamWorks sign you?" ”

Liang Jiahui took out the business card given to him by Kang Jianfei and said, "This is given to me by Mr. Kang, telling me to go to DreamWorks without filming." ”

Li Hanxiang glanced at the business card. said: "If you go to DreamWorks now, at most you will play a supporting role in a TV series, unless DreamWorks doesn't want to sell films in Taiwan, they will definitely not ask you to make movies." ”

Leung Ka-fai is so poor that he can't live his life now. He said: "It's better to make a TV series than to stay at home. ”

"What's the point of filming a TV series, which will only reduce your status as an actor? I want to train you to become a big star, and you are satisfied to be a small actor? Li Hanxiang taught a lesson, and then said, "You wait at home first, my new Kunlun is planning to make a new film, as long as you get investment, I will let you be the leading actor." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Master." Leung Jiahui wanted to go to DreamWorks very much, but Li Hanxiang talked about it, and he could only agree, thinking about what kind of job he should find to live.

Li Hanxiang asked with concern: "Are you short of money to spend?" I'm ...... here."

Before Li Hanxiang finished speaking, Liang Jiahui interrupted and said, "Master, I have money, don't worry about it." ”

……

……

The news that Leung Ka-fai was banned by the Taiwan authorities immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong, and even attracted more attention than the original ban on Li Hanxiang and Xu Anhua by the Information Bureau.

Li Hanxiang and Xu Anhua will make movies again, no matter how famous they are, they are not as eye-catching as the golden sign of the actor on Leung Jiahui's head, and they were banned as soon as they became the actors, which is really the first time in the Hong Kong film industry in decades.

Leftist newspapers naturally strongly condemned the actions of the Taiwan authorities, and Ta Kung Pao published an article: "Film is a noble art, and there should not be too many political factors in it." Leung Ka-fai, the actor, was selected by hundreds of judges, and the blocking move of the Taiwan Information Bureau is really a manifestation of violating public opinion, and it is also a trampling and insult to film art......"

As soon as the "Ta Kung Pao" article came out, it immediately started a war between the newspapers of the left and right, and the incident became more and more hot.

At the same time, "Can't Stop Love" starring Zhang Guorong, Wen Bixuan, Li Lizhen and Wu Mengda finally ended the first round of screenings in Oriental Cinemas, with a cumulative box office of 10.86 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the box office champion in Hong Kong in March.

The box office of such a low-cost movie exceeded 10 million again, which increased the popularity of the two leading actors, Zhang Guorong and Wen Bixuan, and at the same time once again attracted a group of follow-up movies with problem girls.

After the painting of "Unstoppable Love" was completed, it was followed by "City Lights" directed by Zhang Jianting and starring Chen You and Hui Yinghong. Because Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Wrong Love" was a big hit last year, everyone is very optimistic about this "City Lights".

However, after the release, I found that "City Lights" did not sell very well, and it was released only two weeks after its release due to too low attendance, with a cumulative box office of 6.73 million.

6.73 million could have won the annual box office champion a few years ago, but now it can only rank more than 30 in the annual box office list. However, because this is a low-budget movie, DreamWorks can make a small profit in Hong Kong, and it can also make a lot of box office when sold overseas.

After the release of "City Lights", the film "Yellow Peril" was released in Oriental Cinemas immediately after the release of Wuzhou Century (the name of Century Pictures after the reorganization). "The Yellow Peril" starred former student lover Deng Guangrong, but the box office situation was unsatisfactory, and it was forced to leave the film after only eight days of release.

And Golden Harvest's "Fatal Express" cooperated with DreamWorks is now sweeping through Southeast Asia like the same whirlwind, and the cumulative box office in Asia has reached 140 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it is not released in Europe and the United States, the 5,000 investment in "Fatal Express" has been fully recovered, and it can also make Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai earn a lot.

The release of "Terminator" in the United States is also nearing its end, with a total box office of more than $75 million in North America, and it is currently ranked first in this year's North American box office list.

Of course, by the time the North American blockbusters are released in June, "The Terminator" will definitely lose its position as the box office champion.

But it is still an extremely eye-catching thing for an Asian-invested movie to become the North American box office champion for a time, not to mention that the movie "Terminator" is still so popular with American audiences.

After receiving money from DreamWorks, "Oriental Daily" immediately published such an article to build momentum for Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks - "The North American box office champion is actually a Hong Kong investment": "...... It is reported that "Terminator" has sold $76.49 million at the box office in North America, and has been the box office champion for several weeks. The investor of the film is Mr. Kang Jianfei, and Oriental Film Company is actually a branch of DreamWorks. In terms of current box office figures, "Terminator" netted $20 million in North America alone, and that doesn't include peripheral revenues such as videotapes......"

……

……

"Net profit of 20 million US dollars, oh my God, isn't it more than 150 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars," Mao Xianyun said as he flipped through the newspaper, "A movie will make more than 100 million, which is faster than robbing a bank." ”

"Show me," Ye Zimei snatched the newspaper, read it for a while and said, "Mr. Kang is really amazing, Hong Kong has film companies that go bankrupt every month, and he has never lost money when he invests in making movies." ”

Mao Xianyun stretched his waist and said: "Don't think about it, people like us don't have the life to make a lot of money, let's make movies honestly." ”

Ye Zimei flipped the newspaper over, and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister Maomao, look, Phoenix Station is going to hold a beauty contest!" ”

"Beauty pageant?" Mao Xianyun leaned over to look at it a few times, and said, "It seems that TVB and Phoenix are going to fight again." (To be continued......)
