683 [Fighting Storm]
The next film of "New Best Partner" in the New Year's file announced that the once glorious New Art City has finally completely disappeared.
This is the last film made before the dissolution of Xinyicheng, which was arranged by Lei Juekun to be released after New Year's Day, although there is Mecca as the starring role, but its box office revenue has little to do with Mecca and Shi Tian.
When Kang Jian flew back to Hong Kong, the attendance rate of "New Best Partner" was already very low. However, the Golden Princess Cinemas seemed to want to leave DreamWorks with a perfect curtain call, and it took 5 days to release "The New Best Partner", with a box office of 20 million.
After the dissolution of Xinyi City, Mecca and Shi Tian, the two owners of the film company, bid farewell to the film industry completely. One devoted himself to the stock market, the other invested in real estate, and devoted himself to becoming a businessman.
There is no regret about the end of the hero, because the money Mecca and Shi Tian have made in the film market in recent years has already made them multimillionaires. They are much richer than Huang Baiming, you must know that Huang Baiming's equity in Xinyicheng was less than half of Shi Tian's, and it was only a quarter of Mecca's equity.
If Mecca hadn't fallen during the 87 stock market crash, it is estimated that this guy would be worth more than 100 million.
In addition to "New Best Partner", there are also two eye-catching films in the New Year's file, namely DreamWorks' "Overlord Flower" and "Family Carnival" by Hui's Pictures.
Because the cast and script of "Overlord Flower" are much better than the original time and space, the box office is also much higher than the original version, and Shun Lì won more than 23 million box office.
Xu's Pictures' "Family Carnival" is a bit incomprehensible, because his creative lineup is too strange.
First of all, I saw the producer Xu's Film Company. This is a film company opened by Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie's brothers, and it has not been a work for several years.
The second is the director, director Gao Zhisen is now the chief director of Debao. Why Mao didn't stay in Debao to film, but ran out to cooperate with the Xu brothers?
followed by the screenwriter lineup, not to mention Xu Guanwen and Gao Zhisen, the boss of Vientiane Pictures, Huang Baiming, also participated in the creation. And the theater line released at the end of the film is not Princess Jin, nor is it the old club of the Xu brothers, Golden Harvest, but the Xinbao Cinema founded by Princess Jin's rebels Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong.
Kang Jianfei couldn't understand the situation at all, and could only guess that Gao Zhisen and Debao Pictures, the Xu brothers and Golden Harvest Pictures, and Huang Baiming and the Golden Princess Cinema had conflicts. Then the three sides cooperated to make a movie, and went to Xinbao Cinema to make extra money.
What kind of conflict was there between those people, Kang Jianfei didn't bother to guess, anyway, it must be related to their respective interests. As long as you don't talk about collapse, what should you do in the future.
Take Huang Baiming as an example, his Vientiane Pictures and Lei Juekun's Golden Princess Cinema are mutually beneficial, and this time the moth is probably to show off his muscles. In order to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations.
β¦β¦
A large warehouse in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.
More than two dozen employees of a digital special effects company are busy. Is there a Stan among these people? Winston and his assistants also have a former Hong Kong special effects crew.
Yang Caini walked to Kang Jianfei's side, looked at the huge renderings on the table and said, "Godfather, this thing is so ugly, is it the corpse turtle in your novel?" β
"It's a corpse turtle, if you feel disgusting, stay at home, don't run here every day." Kang Jianfei patted the top of Yang Caini's head and said.
"I'm not a child, don't keep slapping me on the head." Yang Caini knocked off Kang Jianfei's hand and pretended to be angry. "Messed up people's hair."
Kang Jianfei really regrets the merits, he shouldn't have kissed a little girl a few days ago, and now after Yang Caini returned to Hong Kong, she ran to stick to him every day, and it was inconvenient to have a tryst with any woman.
The preparation of the special effects for "Tomb Robbery Notes" has just begun. After Winston's repeated discussions, the renderings and the structure of the model have been drawn, but the physical model has not yet begun to be made. In addition to monsters such as hydra cypress and blood corpses, the film also needs to build a special studio, and many special effects shots in caves, tombs, and valleys need to be completed in the studio.
These preparations are done, plus it will take at least two or three months to go to the mainland to select a site, and the earliest launch time of "Tomb Robbery Notes" will have to wait until at least early summer.
The hero and heroine vs. the bloody corpse are a high in Kang Jianfei's script. In fact, blood corpses can basically use real makeup, but some scenes of broken abdomen and broken arms still need model props.
Kang Jianfei's current job is to work with Stan? Winston worked together to set the shape of the various props. He stayed in the warehouse for a long time, and left at almost noon, Yang Caini followed behind like a fart.
"Godfather, let's go eat McDonald's." Yang Caini said expectantly, she was suffocated in the warehouse.
Kang Jianfei couldn't stand being pestered by her, and asked, "You have been back for so many days, and you haven't contacted your former friends?" β
Yang Caini said: "I contacted them, they said that they would get together on the weekend, and they also said that they would go to see your movie together." β
Kang Jianfei's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" will not be officially released until Friday this week. Kang Jianfei was busy preparing for "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and the heroine Gong Li was far away in Beijing, so no premiere was arranged.
However, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has been tested in several screening halls of the Oriental Cinema Line last night, and a large number of film critics were invited to the scene to take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and this morning's newspaper was naturally full of praise.
Of course, there are also those who can't fly with Kang Jian, buy tickets to enter by themselves, and complain after watching it. Kang Jianfei didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of article, and he couldn't be as knowledgeable as those people.
Kang Jianfei didn't break the little girl away in the end, and went to McDonald's to have a junk fast food with Yang Caini.
Taking the opportunity to go to the toilet, Kang Jianfei asked his bodyguard to pinch the time to call him, and then took the phone in front of Yang Caini and talked nonsense together, under the pretext that he had important things to do in the afternoon, and sent the little girl home and slipped away.
drove to a mansion in the western mid-levels, the hostess of the house heard the noise outside, and Kang Jianfei greeted her as soon as she got out of the car.
"Phineas." Qiu Shuzhen held Kang Jianfei affectionately and said coquettishly, "Why did you come." People are still waiting for you to have lunch, and the dishes on the table are cold. β
"Hehe, there is something to deal with temporarily," Kang Jianfei took out a bag to divert her attention, "This is what I brought back from the United States, do you like it or not?" β
"Thank you, Phineas!" Qiu Shuzhen happily offered a fragrant kiss. Although she didn't recognize the American brand "Coach", she still liked the string of broken diamonds on the bag. The bag Kang Jianfei bought can't have fake diamonds.
Since participating in the beauty pageant and becoming popular the year before last, and then filming several TV series, Qiu Shuzhen is already a quasi-first-line actress in Hong Kong. Quite a few rich and celebrities pursue. She eventually fell under Kang Jianfei's brand-name jewelry, famous cars and mansions, and moved into this villa in Mid-levels West to work as a canary.
β¦β¦
When Kang Jianfei and Qiu Shuzhen were entangled in bed, many game halls in Hong Kong had a booming business, and many young people shouted frantically around a machine.
"Whirlwind legs. Quickly use the whirlwind legs...... Ah. Why are you so stupid! β
"Kill, pick up kill......"
"You're using this gate so badly."
"Wow, Chun-Li's special move is cool!"
ββ¦β¦β
KOF was promoted in Hong Kong a month later than in Japan, but because of Kang Jianfei's banner, the King of Fighters comics are quite popular in Hong Kong.
Compared with the brain-dead "The King of Fighters" Hong Kong comics in the original time and space, this set of comics from Kang Jianfei Dark Horse Comics Company is much more exciting, basically bringing together all kinds of wonderful plots in later generations about "The King of Fighters" games, comics, novels, and movies, and even many plots of "Street Fighter" have been borrowed by him.
For example, Chun-Li, which only appears in "Street Fighter 2". Now it was brought over by Kang Jianfei in advance and released directly in the first generation of "The King of Fighters".
Kang Jianfei's character design. Chun-Li's muscular thick legs have been slightly slender, but they are still equivalent to the thighs of two Athena Asamiya.
Chun-Li's early addition naturally made the first generation of "The King of Fighters" increase the team.
In the "King of Fighters" generation in this time and space, Chunli's identity and background of Interpol have not changed, and her two teammates are newly joined by Kang Jianfei, whose names are very vulgar and named Li Qinglong and Wang Hu respectively.
Lee Ching-lung is a Chinese-American teenager who learns Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do because he worships Bruce Lee; Wang Hu is a Shaolin lay disciple, with a shaved head but no scars.
Since Kang Jianfei came up with this game, it is natural to add a lot of Chinese elements. Next year's second generation will also feature a group of Chinese teams, namely Wudang descendants, Bajiquan and Taijiquan disciples.
Of course, the Chinese team in "The King of Fighters 94" is still retained, Zhen Yuanzhai and Athena Asamiya have not made any changes, and the name of Athena Athena's boyfriend Shiiquan Chong was changed by Kang Jianfei to the Chinese name Zhang Quan Chong.
Due to the promotion of Sega, the news that "The King of Fighters" was a hit in Japan and that Kang Jianfei was named the "father of fighting games" had already spread to Hong Kong. Coupled with the popularity of the "King of Fighters" comics in advance, the "King of Fighters" arcade game set off a whirlwind in Hong Kong as soon as it was launched.
The favorite character of Japanese players is Kyo Kusanagi, while the favorite of Hong Kong players is Chun-Li, and the character of Chun-Li is almost mandatory for everyone in the game hall.
Both Sega and Nintendo established sales channels around the world a few years ago. After the "King of Fighters" came out, it has been rolled out throughout East Asia in just over a month, and it will soon land in the European, American and Australian markets.
A yellow-haired boy uses Dongzhang's nirvana to kill the gate, and a cool picture appears on the arcade display, he slaps the machine and shouts, "Cool, this game is so cool!" β
"Come again, Lao Tzu chooses Chunli to kill you!" The student boy sitting with Huang Mao said unadmittedly.
"Come on, give me the money first!" Yellow fur smoked a cigarette and laughed.
The student reluctantly took out 10 yuan, and the two of them chose a team in seconds and then fought again, and a bunch of people behind them shouted, and the scene was as lively as watching a football game.
The owner of the game hall looked at his booming business and wondered if he should expand the storefront, a "King of Fighters" game attracted many young people who didn't play arcades into the game hall, and the popularity was simply an explosion.
Not only in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan, South Korea, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia...... In these countries and regions, which have been baptized by martial arts novels and kung fu films, "The King of Fighters" is like a typhoon, and the popularity speed is unprecedented, and the arcade market has been dominated by Sega overnight.
