730 [He Qianjin can't stay idle]

With several wives at home, Kang Jianfei didn't have much of the heart to run out. During the Spring Festival, except for occasionally going out to meet Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Huimin and other women, Kang Jianfei has always stayed at No. 4 Repulse Bay as a "virtuous husband and father".

Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi were combined by him in pairs, trying various embarrassing postures, and sometimes the pregnant Ye Zipei also carefully joined in.

Anyway, everyone has "met frankly" countless times, and several women have no shame in front of each other, and finally they were pulled into bed by Kang Jianfei at the same time in broad daylight, and they just blushed and accompanied him without shame and absurdity.

The Xinhua News Agency now controls more than a dozen media outlets, and Hong Kong's leftist newspapers, such as Ta Kung Pao, Xin Pao, and Wen Wei Po, are nominally not part of the Xinhua News Agency, but at this time they are under the direct leadership of the Hong Kong branch.

Ye Zishan's article on Kang Jianfei was first published in "Wen Wei Po", which quickly attracted the attention of people in the film industry.

Especially now that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is being screened, Kang Jianfei, as the director of this film and the boss of Hong Kong's largest entertainment group today, what he said is enough to attract everyone's attention.

In an exclusive interview, Kang Jianfei poured cold water on the prosperous Hong Kong films, pointing out the imperfection of the Hong Kong film industry system and the hidden dangers of the overall quality decline of Hong Kong films. The former point is that the problem of imperfect industrial system cannot be solved by one person, which requires the joint efforts of the industry, but the latter point resonates with many people.

In the past, due to the monopoly of the market by theater companies, you may not be able to release a movie if you shoot it, so directors attach great importance to the quality of the film. From the 70s to the early to mid-80s for Hong Kong films, the production cycle was basically between 3 months and half a year. (Shaw Brothers films are an exception, as Shaw Brothers films do not worry about local and overseas distribution.) Therefore, the production period is relatively much shorter)

But now it is different, first of all, the increase in cinema companies, the director cinema can no longer monopolize the box office market, but all movies with quality can be released have a chance to be released. Even if it can't be screened in regular theaters, it can make money through underground cinemas, videotapes and overseas filmmakers, and Hong Kong films won't be sold anyway.

Since you can make money by making a bad movie casually, then on the premise of profit. Investors will naturally choose to make films quickly to accelerate the return of funds, and directors are also happy to make more movies in a short period of time to get paid and dividends. In this way, the average production cycle of Hong Kong films is more than three months. It has been shortened by two months – these two months include the time for pre-production and post-production.

Kang Jianfei can make a good movie in half a month, because he already has all the shots in his head. Those directors don't have Kang Jianfei's "ability", in order to shorten the production cycle, the directors can only not even prepare for the storyboard. And when the actor's performance is not in place, he has to get by. The things that were filmed can only be described as miserable.

Fortunately, now the discipline of well-known directors has not faded away, and even Wang Jing, a fast gunner, still maintains the final bottom line. The most chaotic are those directors who have a slight reputation, and their films can occasionally be released in the off-season, most of the time they can only go through underground theaters and videotapes, and because of their cheap prices, they are bought in bulk by small studios in Southeast Asia. Then it was screened in the name of Hong Kong films in Nanyang countries, and Yan zhòng affected the reputation of Hong Kong films in the local area.

This phenomenon has caused many people in the industry to worry and dissatisfied. There are even many people who advocate reducing the number of theaters, believing that there are too many theaters that cause the flood of junk movies. Kang Jianfei raised this question in an exclusive interview, which immediately resonated with a large number of peers, and each expressed his own views in the media.

Before the Spring Festival passed, well-known producers and directors were already arguing on TV and newspapers.

At the same time, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was released in Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and other places, and the box office began to be popular all the way. Due to the competition of Hollywood blockbusters in Japan, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was not scheduled for the Spring Festival, so we could only wait for the next good schedule.

There is no doubt that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" quickly became popular locally, and its influence is no less than that of "Terminator 2". These areas all belong to the Confucian cultural circle, not to mention the large number of Chinese, like South Korea, even the history books are in Chinese, and there is no cultural barrier to accept the "Tomb Robbery Notes".

With the strong position of Hong Kong films in Nanyang, when "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was released, it was even more sensational than "Terminator 2".

Thailand's largest circulation newspaper, Thailand Daily, called Notes on Tomb Robbery "an unparalleled adventure movie". Paddy Wiji, the father of Thai action movies in his sixties (the one who married a 38-year-old wife at the age of 83), immediately announced that he was preparing an adventure film about Western colonizers smuggling Buddha heads in Thailand, and Thai folk righteous people protect Buddha heads.

Paddy Weiji said in a follow-up interview: "Hong Kong's "Tomb Robbery Notes" directed by Kang Jianfei gave me a lot of inspiration, why can't there be a Thai "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Robbery Notes"? Our Thailand has a long history and culture of legends, as well as Muay Thai, which is not part of Chinese kung fu, and this qiē can be combined to create an excellent adventure action movie. ”

Follow the trend, to put it bluntly, follow the trend!

This is true in Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea.

After Kang Jianfei's "Notes on Tomb Robbery" became a hit, it did not help to promote computer special effects, but caused a round of follow-up.

Following "My Sassy Girlfriend", the movie starring Oh Jin Woo once again dominated the Korean film market, and Oh Jin Woo's fame in South Korea continued to soar. However, the Korean audience doesn't seem to like Zhang Meng's beauty, she has not received universal popularity in South Korea, and soft and delicate actresses such as Wang Guxian, Li Saifeng, and Guan Zhilin are more popular in South Korea.

However, the heroine's problem did not affect the box office of "Tomb Robbery Notes" in South Korea at all, although it failed to break the viewing record set by "My Sassy Girlfriend", but "Tomb Robbery Notes" still ranked second in the Korean box office list over the years.

There are always some inexplicable angry young people in South Korea, seeing that the top two box office lists in South Korea over the years are occupied by Kang Jianfei, a foreigner's film, they actually went to protest to the South Korean government and demanded that the quota of Hong Kong films be reduced. Protecting the development of Korean films.

Some Korean film companies that make money by buying Western films were already dissatisfied with the dumping of Hong Kong films in South Korea, and this time they also took advantage of the topic to coax. Raise the boycott of Hong Kong films to the height of patriotism.

There is no need for Hong Kong film companies to go to public relations, South Korea has its own group of film companies that make money from Hong Kong films, and these people are often more wealthy, so they immediately manipulated public opinion to start a war of words.

Kang Jianfei became a "cultural invader" in the mouth of some South Koreans, and in the following years, his name was taken out by the angry youth of South Korea from time to time to protest. But it was probably a black feeling, when Kang Jianfei once wanted to promote his own movie. When interviewed by Korean media, he said that he liked the country of South Korea very much, and he also popped out a lame Korean greeting. Many angry Korean youths suddenly turned black and praised Kang Jianfei as a very aesthetic director.

The unreasonable troubles of Koreans are actually a sign of inferiority. Kang Jianfei is an internationally renowned director, and his films often make money in the Korean market. Naturally, it will cause dissatisfaction among the angry young slings. And when he praised the country of South Korea. The vanity of those indignant young people has been greatly satisfied - Director Kang Da likes South Korea so much, which shows that our country is very good and great.

Anyway, Kang Jianfei made money anyway.

Not only did it turn to the box office of the movie, but the newly established Oriental Publishing House has assembled and published the first part of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" in Hong Kong, and at the same time contacted publishing houses in South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and other places to discuss the matter.

Although Kang Jianfei often crosses the river and demolishes bridges, his basic credit is still there, and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is still serialized in Ma Chengkun's "Oriental Daily". It was not transferred to "Tiantian Daily", but the publication of the collection did not have anything to do with Ma Chengkun.

Speaking of "Daily Daily". I have to mention Huang Yulang. After he sold a number of his media to Kang Jianfei, he finally had key working capital, although his lawsuit was still not over, and the bank did not provide him with loans for the time being, but the entire Yulang International finally came back to life.

Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, also formed Tianxia Publishing Company with his friends, and began to serialize the "Fengyun" series of comics after the Spring Festival, which once again aroused the popularity of Hong Kong comic fans.

The reason why Ma Rongcheng left Yulang International was not because he saw Huang Yulang entangled in lawsuits and jumped ship. After all, the copyright of Ma Rongcheng's famous work "Chinese Hero" is in the hands of Huang Yulang, and after leaving Yulang International, Ma Rongcheng must start all over again.

Ma Rongcheng was forced to leave Yulang International, he was threatened in April last year not to create cartoons for Huang Yulang again, and later he was ambushed, his hands were almost cut off, and he was injured for half a year.

After this terrible incident, how dare Ma Rongcheng stay in Yulang International?

The reason why Huang Yulang took the initiative to sell "Tiantian Daily" to Kang Jianfei, instead of selling it to a buyer who had always wanted to buy it, was because he suspected that those people were responsible for Ma Rongcheng's cut.

Ma Rongcheng is Huang Yulang's cash cow, the other party used violent means to force Ma Rongcheng away, how can this not make Huang Yulang angry and jealous?

In any case, Ma Rongcheng, who left Yulang International, began to create a comic called "Fengyun", which shined during this year's Spring Festival.

……

"Brother Fei, next week my mother's 55th birthday, celebrating her birthday in Canada," He Chaoqiong handed Kang Jianfei, who had returned from morning exercise, a towel and asked tentatively, "Why don't you go with you?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Canada is so far away, what am I going to do?" If it were to celebrate her birthday in Hong Kong or Macau, I would definitely go to congratulate her old man. ”

He Chaoqiong's face was a little gloomy, since her mother Lan Qiongying last designed to announce the marriage news of the two, and also exposed the matter of the two of them having a son to reporters, the relationship between Kang Jianfei and Lan Qiongying has been very stiff.

Fortunately, Lan Qiongying immigrated to Canada last year, and she has rarely returned to Hong Kong recently, so nothing unpleasant has happened again.

As for Lan Qiongying's immigration to Canada, she actually went there to help He Gambling King take care of his business. Since it was determined that Macau was going to return to the motherland, He Gambling King has been making two plans, secretly contacting the mainland on the one hand, and secretly transferring property and investing in Canada on the other hand, and he can run away at any time if he finds out that something is wrong.

Lan Qiongying's father had already immigrated to Canada, and he also had many relatives there, so he naturally became the best candidate to take care of his business in Canada.

Kang Jianfei is happy to be quiet, after this mother-in-law immigrated to Canada, she never nagged in front of him anymore, which made his married life with He Chaoqiong much more harmonious.

Originally, He Chaoqiong wanted to adjust the relationship between her mother and husband, but seeing Kang Jianfei's reaction, she still temporarily dispelled this idea. Although Kang Jianfei was smiling when he spoke just now, his attitude of refusal was obvious, and he didn't want to congratulate his mother-in-law on her birthday at all.

"After the Lantern Festival, I will send Xiaoxin to kindergarten." While eating breakfast, He Chaoqiong said.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Xiaoxin will be 4 years old soon, it's time to go to kindergarten to study, and it's good to get to know more friends." ”

He Chaoqiong said with some resentment: "I've been bored in the past few years, and when Xiaoxin goes to kindergarten, I also want to find something to do." ”

"What are you going to do?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"I don't know," He Chaoqiong was a little confused, "My dad asked me to go back and help him do things, but I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Kang Jianfei's machismo psychology began to troublesome again, his own woman, if she wants to do things, she also helps herself, what kind of reason is it to go back to her parents' house to help her father-in-law do things?

"Why don't you come to Oriental Media Group, work in the middle level for two years, and then slowly take over." Kang Jianfei said.

He Chaoqiong has been at home with her children for a few years, and she has long been bored and panicked, but she doesn't know what to do for a while. When she heard Kang Jianfei say this, she agreed: "Okay, I'll try it first." ”

"Surely you can." Kang Jianfei held He Chaoqiong's hand and said.

He Chaoqiong's business talent is naturally undoubted, and the diploma of St. Clair University in the United States is not enough to say anything, and her watch in the mall in another time and space is really dazzling.

At the beginning, He Chaoqiong still grew up under the wing of the gambling king's father, but she was only in her 40s, and her net worth had already surpassed that of her father He Gambling King, and not counting her shares in Shun Tak Group and SJM Holdings (the latter two groups are the property of He Gambling King).

When Kang Jianfei crossed, He Chaoqiong was already the richest woman in Hong Kong, and she was also one of the shareholders of TVB.

Of course, at this time, He Chaoqiong did not have much business experience, and she had to go through practical work to be trained, and Kang Jianfei let her enter Oriental Media, which was also optimistic about her potential ability.

As for the fire in the backyard in the future, the big and small wives will divide the family property or something, it will be after Kang Jianfei dies. Kang Jianfei Judging from his understanding of He Chaoqiong, this young lady is not a temper that is not subject to spurt, if she is allowed to fight for property, she will definitely choose to give up, and then rely on her own ability to earn it back.
