Regarding the birth of an illegitimate daughter, Kang Jianfei did not mention it to anyone, firstly, there is no need to publicize it, and secondly, it is not too glorious to do so.
But this does not prevent others from knowing, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Pan Yingzi's pregnancy has long spread in a small area. It's just that in the absence of confirmation, some people regard this gossip as a rumor, and the media didn't dare to report it indiscriminately before taking photos - Pan Yingzi's current identity is not a star, but the general manager of an entertainment brokerage company, and she has long faded out of the public eye, and she doesn't pay much attention to her gossip news, not to mention, and she has to bear the risk of being sued.
And after Pan Yingzi became pregnant, she no longer went to the company, and there were various rumors in the Oriental Entertainment Agency for several months. said that she was pregnant only a small part, and some people speculated that Pan Yingzi offended Kang Jianfei, and the entertainment agency was going to change the general manager.
confirmed the news that Pan Yingzi gave birth to her daughter, and Pan's mother inadvertently said it when she was on the phone. At that time, the company secretary called Pan Yingzi to report the situation, and after Pan's mother picked up the phone, she said casually: "She is breastfeeding Nannan, you can call again later." ”
Pan Yingzi's secretary is also a woman, who was originally a very reliable person, but accidentally leaked her mouth. So, in less than a week, even Kang Jianfei's cousin and aunt heard about Pan Yingzi's secret birth of a daughter.
As for who the girl's father was, anyone who wasn't blind could guess it.
"Ouch, look at this little mouth, how similar it is to Ah Fei when he laughs."
"Yes, I'm not afraid of life at all. is as bold as Ah Fei. ”
"Ah Zi, what brand of milk are you feeding now? This child's milk powder should be well chosen, and I heard that Abbott milk powder imported from the United States is very good. ”
“……”
Liang Ying and Zhou Mingfang's two cousins and aunts surrounded Xiao Zhenqi and talked non-stop. Pan Yingzi and Pan's mother also echoed from time to time, and Kang Jianfei sat next to him so bored that he wanted to doze off.
Wang Jing and Wang Fatzi just gave some small toys before leaving, and the two cousins and aunts came one after another. Two menopausal women taught Pan Yingzi the parenting scriptures, and they had been talking for more than half an hour, and from time to time they also pulled Kang Jianfei to teach their experience.
"Didi Di Di ......"
The big brother's phone in the distance rang, and Kang Jianfei walked over to answer it, but it was Guan Zhilin's call: "Brother Fei." Where are you? People miss you. ”
Kang Jianfei walked outside with his mouth in the mouth, and then smiled: "I miss you too, but I'm very busy now." Let's have dinner together tomorrow. ”
Guan Zhilin asked: "What are you busy with, I just learned that "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been completed, and no one goes to the company to look for you, is it Miss Pan?" ”
"Nope. I'm talking to people from China Merchants about investment in the mainland. Kang Jianfei said casually.
Guan Zhilin said in a resentful tone: "I haven't seen each other for half a month." People want to accompany you now. ”
"Ahem," Kang Jianfei coughed, knocked on the door a few times, and said, "That's it, the people from China Merchants are here, I want to talk about business." ”
Quickly hung up the phone, Kang Jianfei didn't have time to catch his breath. Big Brother rang again, but this time it was brought by Lin Fengjiao.
After three phone calls in a row. Kang Jianfei already regretted buying Big Brother. In the past, when there was only a landline, how easy it was, no matter how many women could be free, now there is a big brother by her side, it is like putting a heel rope around her neck.
And those women called so often, they must have heard about Pan Yingzi's birth of a daughter, and they were jealous in disbelief, wanting to tie Kang Jianfei to their side.
Back in the room, the two cousins were ready to open, Kang Jianfei sent them out the door before coming back, and finally had the opportunity to get close to his daughter.
Xiao Zhenqi's eyes were big and bright, watery and black like a deep pool, and when she saw Kang Jianfei approaching, she suddenly grinned.
Kang Jianfei happily picked up his daughter, but as soon as he took over, he cried, waw and screamed, as if he didn't want Kang Jianfei to hug her.
"I hate you so much!" Kang Jianfei said speechlessly.
Pan Yingzi took it and checked it, and finally found out the reason: "I'm pulling my pants, go get a diaper." ”
……
Kang Jianfei's dad is not competent, he goes to see his daughter once or twice a week at most, in addition to being busy with the later stage of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he can't snub other women too much.
Seeing that Christmas is coming, DreamWorks' special effects big cast "Shushan" has started the last round of publicity offensive, and now the posters of "Shushan" can be seen everywhere on the streets of Hong Kong. Prior to this, "Shushan" had already set off a small craze in parts of Europe, reaching more than 2.4 million moviegoers in France alone, grossing $9.74 million, making it the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in France to date.
Of course, "Shushan" was able to earn $9.74 million in France, mainly because France is the largest box office in Europe, and the hot movies are basically the highest box office in France after they are released in Europe.
Of course, due to the unique tastes of French audiences, the French box office cannot be used as an accurate reference. Like the "Killer Trench" starring Cheng Long in the cooperation between Golden Harvest and Hollywood, it only sold more than 8 million US dollars at the box office in the United States, and it actually earned more than 5 million in France. And Cheng Long's "Red Fan Zone" many years later sold more than 30 million US dollars in the United States, but the box office in France was only a pitiful more than 1.4 million, which is not as much as the box office in Germany.
If you add factors such as rising ticket prices, the box office of "Shushan" in France is far inferior to Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River" - the number of French moviegoers of "Raptors Across the River" is close to 4 million, while the number of moviegoers of "Shushan" is only more than 2.4 million.
In addition to France, the box office of "Shushan" in Europe was: West Germany $1.87 million, Greece $980,000, Italy $6.88 million, Belgium $920,000, and Iceland $180,000.
So far, "Shushan" has only been released in these six countries, with a cumulative box office of 20.57 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars.
When "Shushan" won the Silver Lion Award for Venice Film, a few Hong Kong media outlets said that DreamWorks could not recover the huge investment of 8,000 Hong Kong dollars (promotional figure). And when the news of the hit of "Shushan" in Europe came back, those media collectively shut up, and only released in five European countries, DreamWorks was about to recoup its costs.
At the beginning, although European and American publishers were optimistic about "Shushan", they didn't take it too seriously. When negotiating with Jiang Zhiqiang and Ye Zhiming, more than half of the European and American distributors wanted to pay a small amount of money to buy out the screening rights of "Shushan". For example, MK2, a French film distribution company, bought out the distribution rights of "Shushan" in France at a price of $600,000.
For a Chinese-language film, the buyout price of $600,000 is already very high, and there is also the factor of the Venice Silver Lion Award. If "Shushan" does not win an award at the Venice Film Festival, MK2 will bid up to $400,000.
And Kang Jianfei's attitude was very clear at the beginning, only talking about sharing, not buying out. Based on the box office of "Shushan" in France of $9.74 million, excluding taxes and advertising expenses, DreamWorks can get close to $2.5 million at the box office.
The box office of "Shushan" in France of nearly 10 million US dollars really stunned many people, because even if it is a Hollywood blockbuster, there are few films that have a box office of more than 10 million in France every year, and "Shushan" is only released on ordinary schedules.
The "realistic" special effects and mysterious oriental fantasy story of "Shushan" have been popularized by European audiences like they did when they first watched "Star Wars", so much so that it has set off a small Chinese craze in France and Italy. Even in the following month, some Chinese elements were added to the television programs of both countries.
On the cover of the October 1985 issue of the French film magazine "Positif" (296 issues in total), there was a poster of Li Saifeng walking on the sword, and the article was highly praised: "The world's top film special effects, beautiful Chinese natural landscapes, and magical oriental magic stories constitute the most ornamental films of this year." ”
In France, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, Greece and Iceland, six countries where "Shushan" was screened, Li Saifeng and He Jiajin became famous, and even Wu Zhixiong, who played the villain, was famous, and Zhao Yazhi was not remembered by European audiences because of too few scenes.
For European film distributors, they are more concerned about DreamWorks and Xu Ke, and Ye Zhiming took the opportunity to start selling other DreamWorks films to Europe.
Seeing the popularity of "Shushan" in France and Italy, other distributors who were originally planning to release the film before December have changed their release dates in their respective regions. For example, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain and other European countries, as well as distributors in North and South America, all plan to move "Shushan" to a good schedule around Christmas, in order to make the most profits.
And the last round of publicity of "Shushan" in Hong Kong focused on hyping the news that the film was selling well in six European countries, for fear that people would not know the way.
Phoenix TV will play the trailer of "Shushan" in prime time every night, and a man said excitedly in a voiceover: "80 million huge casts, the original special effects team of "Star Wars", traveled 6,000 kilometers to the mainland to shoot live, and DreamWorks' high-quality movie "Shushan" took two years to create, which was only released in six European countries and won 160 million box office, breaking the box office record of Chinese films. This year's most anticipated visual blockbuster will be released in Hong Kong on December 20th, what are you waiting for, hurry up to the major theaters of the Oriental Cinema Line to book tickets!
