687 [Achieving New Success]
It's not that Kang Jianfei and "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance" are too powerful, but that the quality of other movies released at the same time during the Spring Festival is too poor. Hong Jinbao's "Dragons and Phoenixes" may have been able to get a good box office ten years ago, but it is too outdated now, and it can only attract some loyal kung fu fans, and few young people love to watch it.
The only competitive is Xu's Pictures' "Family Carnival" directed by Gao Zhisen and starring the Xu brothers, but this film was released in the New Year, with a box office of more than 30 million, which perfectly avoided the schedule of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
As a result, there was such a situation in this year's Spring Festival file, in the first few days of the movie's release, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was hard to find, but the attendance rate of other companies' films was low.
After two weeks of screening, "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" has swept more than 20 million box office, and its weekly box office has only begun to decline significantly, and the box office of "Rich and Repeated", which ranks second in the Spring Festival stalls, has just broken 10 million.
After the third week of the Spring Festival, the box office momentum of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has finally eased a lot, but the cumulative box office has also sold more than 34 million. At this time, the box office of "Rich and Rich" ranked second was 14.18 million, the box office of "Dragons and Phoenixes" ranked third was 12.69 million, the box office of "Lucky Stars Coming to the Door" ranked fourth was 9.6 million, and the box office of "Peacock Prince" ranked fifth was 9.05 million.
Comparing the box office of all the films released during the Spring Festival, you can see how awesome Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is, which is equivalent to the total box office of the second, third, and fourth films.
If you take into account the changes in ticket prices and exchange rates, Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is much higher than the original. In addition to director Kang Jianfei's ability to attract money. Another important reason is that the schedule is really well scheduled, and there are no good movies to compete with him at the box office in the same period.
The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived. Golden Harvest's "The Peacock Prince" was released ahead of schedule, and the box office was just over 10 million, barely holding a little face for Golden Harvest. The movies that are usually released have a box office of more than 5 million is not bad, but if the box office of Golden Harvest's Spring Festival movies does not break 10 million, it will make people laugh off their big teeth.
The next film is "Lucky Stars" by Yindu Organization, with a box office of more than 11 million. Then came "Dragons and Phoenixes" and "Rich and Rich". Among them, "Rich and Repeated" has a box office of 16.5 million, which has passed as a sequel movie.
Only Hong Jinbao was very depressed, and the box office deteriorated when he was filming for Golden Harvest. Now the box office of Baohe has hit a new low, as if it has sunk into the lowest point of life.
After the Spring Festival movies were released, major theaters began to release new films, and only Oriental Cinemas continued to screen "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was released for 35 days. The last two weeks have cut a lot of games. The box office in Hong Kong finally won 41.55 million.
Another movie that broke the box office of 40 million made major film companies and directors have nothing to say.
As "Film Fortnightly" commented: "Kang Jianfei's box office record may only be broken by himself." ”
Last year, Yishu openly wrote an article to insinuate and satirize Li Jiaxin because of his nephew Ni Zhen. However, this talented woman has a very straight temper, and she herself has a bad relationship with her nephew Ni Zhen, so the film review published in "Ming Pao Weekly" this time is actually quite pertinent, and she did not continue Hei Kang Jianfei:
"I have watched every one of Mr. Kang's movies. "Dao Ma Dan", "Fang Fang", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" are my favorites, and the literary and romantic temperament revealed in the films. Can intoxicate any woman. Sometimes I even wonder if this director is suffering from schizophrenia, because his films are sometimes extremely kitsch, full of and urine and farts that are unbearable.
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is exactly like this, when I heard this title, I was full of expectations, thinking that Director Kang Da was going to make another love classic. But when I saw that the actor was Chow Xingchi, I didn't give up hope for this film, it could only be a comedy that made a lot of money at the box office.
As a commercial comedy, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is still relatively successful, which can be proved from its terrifying box office. What is surprising is Kang Jianfei's ability to subvert classic stories, and it can be said that this movie completely refreshes the audience's perception of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang......"
In addition to Kang Jianfei's name as a great director again, the actor Zhou Xingchi can be said to be so red and purple, even more than Zhou Runfa, faintly has the momentum of being the first of the four heavenly kings of Oriental Entertainment Company.
Even Gong Li, who is far away in the mainland, has many companies sending film contracts inviting her to play the heroine of the movie.
The first male supporting actor Chen Baixiang in it also became popular, Zheng Peipei and Yuan Danqiong also kept making appointments, although they were invited to play supporting roles.
"Brother Xing, can you reveal a little bit about the new film plan?"
"Brother Xing, I heard that when you were filming "Tang Bohu", you did a fake drama with Miss Gong Li, is it true?"
"Brother Xing......"
Outside Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Zhou Xingchi drove his newly bought sports car before entering the underground parking lot, but was blocked by reporters squatting outside.
There are stars in the film and television city every day, and it has naturally become the focus of Hong Kong's gossip paparazzi, and they may be able to get exclusive or discover a celebrity's private scandal.
Now that the film and television city has not allowed reporters to enter, the paparazzi can only squat hard outside the gate and the entrance of the underground parking lot.
"Sorry, let me go, I'm in a hurry!" Zhou Xingchi shouted and drove the car forward, although these reporters were very annoying, but the attention that attracted so much still made Zhou Xingchi very proud.
Not to mention anything else, after a "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Xingzai" finally evolved into "Brother Xing" perfectly. In the past, only a few people called him "Brother Xing", but now all reporters call him that, and Zhou Xingchi became a little fluttery when he heard this title.
Just like Zhou Runfa changed from "Fa Boy" to "Fa Ge", it is not only his title that has changed, but also his status in the film industry, and the same is true of Zhou Xingchi's "Brother Xing".
After entering the administrative building, Zhou Xingchi met Wang Jing in the hall on the first floor, and the two now have a very good relationship, and they laughed and chatted after meeting.
"Brother Xing, you mixed it well, even your hairstyle has changed." Wang Jing patted Zhou Xingchi's shoulder and quipped.
Zhou Xingchi laughed: "Don't come to tease me, let's call Xingzai." ”
Wang Jing leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "Why don't you go to celebrate together tonight?" ”
Zhou Xingchi coughed, looked at the other people around him and said, "If it is photographed by reporters, it will be miserable." ”
"Don't worry, there are no reporters in the place I'm looking for." Wang Jing said very confidently.
"Let's talk about it." Zhou Xingchi said perfunctorily.
The elevator door finally opened, and the two stepped in together, and came to Kang Jianfei's office a few minutes later, only to be told by Li Meifeng that Kang Jianfei was in the warehouse of the special effects company.
Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing could only make one more trip, and when they arrived at the warehouse, they found that there were models, schematic diagrams, and renderings everywhere. Zhou Xingchi whispered: "It seems that Mr. Kang is ready to play big again, I don't know who will be the protagonist this time." ”
Wang Jing looked at the huge corpse turtle model and muttered, "He won't be making a horror movie this time, this monster looks so crazy." ”
Zhou Xingchi said: "It may be a sci-fi film like "Alien". ”
Kang Jianfei is talking to Stan? Winston was discussing something, the two were gesturing with each other, and Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing waited for them to finish before walking over.
"What's the matter?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Zhou Xingchi glanced at Wang Jing, Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiahe asked us to make a film, and I was appointed to cooperate with Xingzai." ”
"He asked you to shoot, Oriental Entertainment Company did not prohibit its artists from cooperating with any company." Kang Jianfei squatted down to inspect the materials for the hydra cypress.
Zhou Xingchi said: "Mr. Kang, that's the case. Golden Harvest not only asked us to make a movie, but also revealed that he wanted to recruit us. ”
Kang Jianfei understood that Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi were afraid that Kang Jianfei would have a misunderstanding, and when Jiahe's people contacted them, most of them were seen by others, so they deliberately came to show their innocence.
In fact, with Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi's current fame and talent, they can eat in any company. The main reason why they stayed in Oriental Entertainment Company was that they were not afraid of harassment from the gang community, and secondly, the platform and resources provided to them by Oriental Entertainment Company and DreamWorks.
"It's okay, as long as it doesn't conflict with the company's shooting schedule, it's okay for you to shoot anyone, DreamWorks is not afraid of competition." Kang Jianfei said in a very casual tone.
In other film companies, whether it is a director or an actor, at the level of Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi, the boss will not let people go lightly. It's not that I'm afraid of people jumping ship, but I'm afraid that competitors will ask them to make a good film, and then kill their company's movies in prime time.
Kang Jianfei said that DreamWorks is not afraid of competition, which is easy to say, but it is confident and domineering enough.
Zhou Xingchi was picked up by Kang Jianfei, and he also became a star brother because of his appearance in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", so he was naturally convinced by Kang Jianfei.
After Kang Jianfei made a statement, Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi finally put their minds at ease, and the two looked at the various things in the warehouse curiously.
Wang Jing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fei, is this preparing for your new film?" ”
Kang Jianfei nodded, and continued to fiddle with a black thing on the ground.
Wang Jing said again: "Making science fiction films? ”
Kang Jianfei asked, "I'm going to send a new book, do you know about it?" ”
"I know, Oriental Daily has been making new book previews since the Lantern Festival." Wang Jing suddenly reacted, "You mean, what you want to shoot is the story in that new book?" ”
Kang Jianfei nodded: "The Chinese version of Indiana Jones." (To be continued......)
