"Zizi Zizi ......"

The lard in the pot made a burst of oily sound, and Ye Zipei, wearing a red apron, poured a plate of washed vegetables into the pot, and suddenly a cloud of white smoke rose.

Kang Jianfei was sitting in the living room on the phone to learn about the box office situation in Hong Kong and the mainland.

"Royal Sister" has been released in the mainland for more than two months, and the box office has reached a staggering more than 35 million yuan, equivalent to HK$126 million. Of course, because it is an imported film, DreamWorks can only get 20% of the box office (at this time, there is no special fund for films in the mainland), that is, more than 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and the exchange rate of the RMB is somewhat needed at this time, and under normal circumstances, it is good that the RMB can be exchanged for 1 against the Hong Kong dollar in the black market.

In order to save trouble, Kang Jianfei plans to directly use his personal funds as box office income to pay DreamWorks, and the renminbi earned in the mainland will be used to invest in the mainland. For example, the cinemas in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which have already begun to be selected, as well as the future investment of Xiongfei Records, are all paid for with the renminbi earned in the mainland.

Since it is now the Spring Festival period, the mainland box office of "Royal Sister" has not decreased significantly after exceeding 35 million yuan, and the data is still steadily increasing.

However, this situation can only continue until around the Lantern Festival, and the box office should not be able to sell if it exceeds 40 million yuan, which is still not enough to see compared to the box office of "Shaolin Temple" that broke 100 million.

In the Spring Festival battle in the Hong Kong market, DreamWorks also sounded a loud charge, and the cumulative box office of "The Saint of Gambling" was 24.11 million in less than three weeks after its release. "Lucky Star Gaozhao" starring Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long was released two days later, and the box office also reached 19.62 million, and it was not thrown too far by "The Saint of Gambling".

"Wishing you prosperity" on the side of Xinyi City is a little miserable, and it will not sell until it reaches 13 million. Princess Jin is already preparing to release "Wishing you prosperity" from the film.

"What? You said that after the painting of "Wishing you prosperity" was completed, it was Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Love Again" that was followed? Kang Jianfei held the microphone between his neck and asked while snorting melon seeds.

Jiang Zhiqiang on the other end of the phone said: "The Golden Princess Cinema has begun to promote "Seven Days of Love Again", which is directed by Zhang Jianting and starring Er Dongsheng and Yang Xueyi. ”

"Who is Yang Xueyi? It's a familiar name. Kang Jianfei asked, although he didn't know that Lu Dao's "Seven Days of Love Again" was starring Wang Guxian in the original time and space, but it couldn't be this Yang Xueyi.

Jiang Zhiqiang replied: "Yang Xueyi is the champion of Miss Hong Kong in 83, hosted "Hong Kong Morning" on TVB, and is now a contracted actor in New Arts City. Last year, I made a movie called "Song and Dance Shengping". ”

"Oh, I remember, the runner-up of that session of Sister Hong Kong was Zhang Manyu." Kang Jianfei had an impression of Yang Xueyi at this time.

After hanging up Jiang Zhiqiang's phone, Kang Jianfei dialed Tang Shuxuan's home number again and asked, "Sister Shuxuan." What is the situation of Zhang Jianting? ”

Zhang Jianting's work contract was signed at DreamWorks, although Kang Jianfei acquiesced to his director to make extra money. But this is without compromising DreamWorks' interests.

Zhang Jianting, if he helps Xinyicheng make ordinary movies. Kang Jianfei doesn't blame him, but "See You Again" is obviously a gimmick for the sequel to "The Wrong Seven Days". The copyright of "Seven Days of Wrong Love" is still in DreamWorks, which is like Gao Zhisen filming a sequel to "Happy Ghost" for Xinyicheng, which is extremely bad in nature.

Tang Shuxuan said quite angrily: "After I saw the advertisement of "Seven Days of Love Again", I just called Zhang Jianting to ask him, and he has decided to change jobs to Xinyi City after the year. That's right. Also jumping away was screenwriter Wen Jun. ”

Although Zhang Jianting is not a rightist, he looks down on the mainland, and after Kang Jianfei has now become a red filmmaker, it is normal for Zhang Jianting to leave DreamWorks as soon as his contract arrives.

But the problem is. You can go, but you can't infringe on DreamWorks' movie rights.

Kang Jianfei held back the fire and ordered: "Sister Shuxuan, you say hello to the Ministry of Justice, and ask them to send a lawyer's letter to Xinyicheng and Zhang Jianting after the release of "Seven Days of Love Again". ”

"I know." Tang Shuxuan chatted with Kang Jianfei for a few words and hung up the phone.

Kang Jianfei is quite angry about Zhang Jianting's departure, because DreamWorks is now a literary and popular director Zhang Jianting and Xu Anhua.

Xu Anhua's "Love in a Fallen City" last year had two superstars, Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong, joined, but the box office was only more than 4 million, which was a small hit. Although it is normal for non-prime literary films to have a bad box office, the iron triangle lineup of Xu Anhua plus Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong, plus the support of the entire Oriental Cinema Line, more than 4 million is still much lower than everyone's psychological expectations.

Even because Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong's salaries are very high, "Love in a Fallen City" cannot recover its investment in Hong Kong, and can only make some profits overseas.

Xu Anhua has not had any plans to make films for a whole year since the failure of "Love in a Fallen City", it is estimated that he wants to experience life for three or five years, and he will continue to be a director after he has artistic insight.

After Xu Anhua went into retreat and practiced, DreamWorks left Zhang Jianting, a best-selling literary director, and now he actually defected to Xinyi City to shoot the sequel to "Seven Days of Wrong Love".

Kang Jianfei has prepared 1 million lawyer fees, and decided to fight a bastard lawsuit with Xinyicheng and Zhang Jianting, and if he can't win, he will disgust the other party to death.

"What's wrong? The face of the New Year is not good-looking, and it is so uncomfortable to celebrate the festival with me. Ye Zipei walked over and sat next to Kang Jianfei, holding his hand and jokingly.

Ye Zipei is dressed very conservatively, with coffee-colored trousers and a dark sweater, and sleeves on his arms.

However, Kang Jianfei felt that her dress was very tasteful, and she had a solemn and generous stunning human/wife temperament, which could make a man fall into a different kind of stimulation of betraying morality.

"It's too late to be happy with Sister Pei, how can you be uncomfortable?" Kang Jianfei smiled and hugged Ye Zipei into his arms, and began to caress caress indiscriminately.

Ye Zipei was so amused by this slut that he hurriedly pushed his hand away and stood up, glanced at Kang Jianfei and said, "You are not ashamed in broad daylight, it's time to eat!" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a teasing smile: "Yesterday afternoon, I don't know who is not ashamed, my legs are so weak that I want to carry her up for dinner." ”

"Don't say that!" Ye Zipei punched Kang Jianfei fiercely, and ran to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks. This 31-year-old pretty widow is an unsmiling leader outside, but when she is alone with Kang Jianfei, she seems to have returned to her youth and girlhood, and she is becoming more and more shy and coquettish.

……

……

was entangled by Ye Zipei and stayed in Guangzhou/Zhou for five days before Kang Jianfei took the train back to Hong Kong.

The box office of "The Saint of Gambling" successfully exceeded the 30 million mark, which is a thing worth celebrating, and Kang Jianfei decided to hold a celebration banquet on the second day of the Lantern Festival.

The box office of "Lucky Stars" also followed all the way, and the box office was only a little bit away from 25 million, and it was also the big winner of this year's Spring Festival.

Only Xinyi City's "Wishing you prosperity" is more tragic, and the box office just broke 14 million and was taken off the film and replaced with Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Love Again". In the original time and space, although the reputation of "Wishing you prosperity" was not very good, the competitor was only a "Lucky Star Gaozhao", which sold more than 18 million before it was painted. Now there is "Gambling Saint" to grab the audience, and the box office of "Wishing you prosperity" is less than 4 million.

The box office of "The Saint of Gambling" did not stop rising, and when Kang Jianfei held a celebration banquet for "The Saint of Gambling", the box office of this film had reached 35.18 million.

After the attendance rate of "Lucky Star Gaozhao" plummeted, it dragged on for another four days, and the box office reached 30.12 million before the next film was announced, and it successfully entered the 30 million box office club.

"Ming Pao" announced pleasantly: "At the same time, there are two movies with a box office of more than 30 million, Hong Kong has completely come out of the shadow of economic recession, and Hong Kong films will enter a new era!" ”

The article in "Daily Express" wrote: ""The Saint of Gambling" was unstoppable, successfully broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies, and Xingzi turned into a star. ”

While Zhou Xingchi became famous, some newspapers were ridiculing Lizhi as a vase, and the "New Morning Post" posted: "Zhou Xingchi's performance in "The Saint of Gambling" was mixed, catering to the aesthetics of grassroots citizens, whether it was good or bad for the time being. And Miss Oriental champion Li Zhi, in this film, it can be said that she has no acting skills at all, the only value of her existence is to attract men's attention by her figure and face, this kind of vase actor is really difficult to live up to the reputation of the Miss Oriental champion. ”

There are a lot of people who scold Lizhi, but there are more people who like her, if it weren't for Kang Jianfei's company being banned by the Taiwan authorities, I don't know how many films flew to Lizhi at this time.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, "The Saint of Gambling", which was screened in Hong Kong for 5 and a half weeks, was officially released, with a total box office of 37.42 million in Hong Kong, and Kang Jianfei set a new box office record for Hong Kong films.

disappointed all those who were waiting for the decline of DreamWorks, not only did they not collapse due to the ban by the Taiwan authorities, but Kang Jianfei broke the Hong Kong box office record again.

Li Lizhi, the assistant director who came to prominence because of "The Saint of Gambling", said in an interview: "Mr. Kang has endless novel ideas in his head, and I have learned a lot from making movies with him. Taiwan's Information Bureau can ban a company, but it cannot ban a person's wisdom and the artistic value created by his hands. I believe that DreamWorks will not only not fall, but will grow stronger and stronger, because the owner of this company is Mr. Kang. ”

Just when Li Lizhi was unreservedly patting Kang Jian's flying fart, the Hong Kong film industry broke the big news again.

DreamWorks believes that Xinyicheng's "Seven Days of Love" infringes the copyright of "Seven Days of Wrongness", and after sending a lawyer's letter asking to check out to stop the infringement, DreamWorks angrily sued Xinyicheng and director Zhang Jianting in court.

DreamWorks and New Arts City, two film companies that have been in the limelight, have finally broken out again!

I have to say, women are really troublesome.
