274 [The fear of cheap/human flying]
Lei Juekun was holding a big red invitation in his hand, and his smile was quite complicated. He was wearing an invitation to Kang Jianfei for the unveiling ceremony of the TV station. Three years ago, a little person who could not even be found in the theater was released, but now he has become the boss of the TV station. How can Lei Juekun not sigh?
"Mr. Lei, the test set for "The Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" is ready." The assistant knocked on the unclosed door and stood at the door and said.
Lei Juekun then put away the invitation and went to the screening room with a cigar in his mouth.
As the big boss of Princess Jin Cinemas, after Princess Jin is on the right track, Lei Juekun will not participate in the trial screening of the new film, and will not care about the specific screening work, because that is what the theater manager should do.
However, "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" is different because New Art City is a company that Lei Juekun absolutely holds. Mecca and others are the bosses of New Art City, but they are actually senior workers in disguise.
Last year's "Best Partner" exceeded 25 million, and the box office outside Shanghai made Lei Juekun make a fortune. Now, Lei Juekun has to pay special attention to the sequel test film of "Best Partner".
When I arrived at the screening hall, there were already many people sitting in the seats in the front in the middle. In addition to the main creators such as Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Xu Guanjie, the general managers of Princess Jin Cinemas and various theater managers also came.
As for the two shareholders, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, there was no sign. Last year, they found a film company and brought Wu Yusen to be the director. As a result, the film "Modern Master" earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, which made the two taste a little sweet. In the first half of the year, another "big production" with a budget of 4 million yuan was invested, but the box office was only more than 2 million yuan. Such a disappointing result made Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong retreat and directly locked up the film company.
Time passed minute by minute, "The Best Partner 2 Showing Magical Powers" has been screened. Under the dim lights in the screening room, Lei Juekun's expression was also gloomy and sunny.
Lei Juekun looked at Li Maowen, the manager of Princess Jin Cinema, and asked, "Awen, what do you think?"
Li Maowen sighed: "It's not as good as the one last year, and the box office will be several million less."
Mecca became anxious when she heard this and said, "Mr. Lei, Manager Li, although it is not as good as last year's "Best Partner", the quality is already very high."
Li Maowen nodded and said, "It's true. I think it's appropriate to be released in early July."
Mecca felt relieved after hearing this. Although the summer season started to schedule films at the end of June, July was the highlight. A movie could be released in July, and it was half successful before it was released.
In June this year, the screening plans for major theaters in Hong Kong have been released, with a total of 14 new films released, of which Shaw Brothers accounted for 5 films, which is still the largest number of films produced.
However, looking at Shaw Brothers' film screening last month, you can tell how embarrassed Shaw Brothers is. The longest release time of "Highing Ghosts", only 12 days, the average release time of other films is only 6 days, and even Li Hanxiang's "Thirty Years of Details" has only 6 days, and Chu Yuan's sequel to the martial arts film "Chu Liuxiang" was only 5 days after it was released.
In comparison, there is a new company called Century Pictures that has emerged.
This company was originally engaged in financial trade, but the boss didn't know where to play, so he suddenly changed his career to make movies last year. Well, Hong Kong companies are very free, unlike the mainland where there are strict business scope restrictions. Since the boss says to make movies, everyone can shoot them.
There is an employee named Liu Zhenwei in the company (this guy’s classics include "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Everything is the best"). This guy is the boss’s friend and soon became the director of film planning and production. In nearly a year, Century Pictures has made three movies, each earning an average of more than 2 million yuan, which has blinded countless professional filmmakers.
Films with small companies like Century Pictures naturally cannot be ranked in the summer season. Its new film "Binmei" was ranked by Jiahe Theater until early June. "Binmei" is the ambition of Century Pictures after several successive films. It went to Taiwan to invite Qin Han, who had just divorced, and invited Qin Xianglin back from the United States. The heroine is Taiwanese emerging singer Sally Yeh.
Judging from the cast, it is obvious that Century Pictures not only wants to make Hong Kong box office, but also wants to enter the Taiwan market.
In June, there were many films in major theaters, and the continuous release of single movies was very short. On the contrary, after the summer season, the number of films released in theaters will decrease, but the release canvas and time of a single movie will increase greatly.
"Happy Ghost 3 Happy Ghost" by Oriental DreamWorks has been in the works for nearly a month, and the final box office of this land is 8.73 million. Although the box office is not high, it is still relatively stable and profitable among low-cost comedy.
As for "The Beautiful Girl" produced by McDonald Bear, it was scheduled to be released on June 10 this time because it was not favored by Li Maowen.
Lei Juekun looked at "The Best Partner" with the ending subtitles, and suddenly asked: "Kang Jianfei's "The True Heroes" has not been finished yet?"
Li Maowen replied: "It has been completed and is in the late production. If nothing unexpected happens, "The Best Partner" will be released after the painting "The True Color of Heroes".
Generally speaking, the two movies with almost the same quality are more advantageous. However, Lei Juekun suddenly thought of a situation and said, "I heard that Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao and his brothers seemed to have joined forces to make a movie, which was also released in early July. "Best Partner" may have to fight Jiahe again."
Li Maowen added: "The movie is called "Plan A". The movie without Process Dragon is just like that. "Best Partner" will definitely win the box office."
Lei Juekun always felt something was wrong. He felt that after two consecutive years of old foxes like Zou Wenhuai, the video created by Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao together would definitely be very different.
Lei Juekun thought for a while and made a decision: "Awen, go and notify Kang Jianfei and let him get faster in the later stage. "The True Heroes" will be released in July, and "Best Partner" is behind him."
Li Maowen didn't understand what Lei Juekun was thinking. He wanted to make "Heroics" collide with "Plan A". By the time "Best Partner" was released, there were no strong opponents, and the box office would definitely be more.
This is the difference between a godson and a biological son. No matter how you say Xinyi City is also Lei Juekun's own company. If Kang Jianfei had agreed to Lei Juekun's shareholding in Fang Dream Factory, the results of the screening will definitely be different.

As time goes by for the official name change of Lishi, the later stage of "The True Heroes" has been completed by more than half.
The most lively thing during this period is naturally the annual Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. This issue of Ming Pao Weekly uses a full 6 pages to pay attention to the report.
After taking a shower, Zhao Yazhi came in wearing Kang Jianfei's white shirt. Because he did not wear a xiong cover, the two bulges on his chest were really eye-catching. The hem of the shirt covered his buttocks, and his long white legs were exposed to the air. When he walked, he faintly showed his seductive lace pants.
Zhao Yazhi kicked off the slippers on his feet, jumped onto the bed like a little girl, and got into Kang Jianfei's arms and watched TV with him.
"Why do you always wear my clothes?" Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi's slender waist, put his nose on the ends of her hair and sniffed, exclaiming, "Sister Zhi, you are so fragrant."
"I just like to wear your clothes, no?" Zhao Yazhi is usually gentle and virtuous, and it is rare to act like a girl.
Kang Jian flew to kiss Zhao Yazhi Saixue's skin and said, "Of course, Sister Zhi, you look good in any clothes."
Zhao Yazhi looked up and looked at Kang Jianfei and said, "A Fei, I haven't been in this month's menstrual period, it seems I'm pregnant."
Zhao Yazhi's tone was light and light, but it was like a muffled thunder sound in Kang Jianfei's ears, and he asked dryly: "No, really there is one?"
Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "It's a pity that I got it wrong. I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that I had irregular menstruation and asked me to rest more and eat less spicy food."
"Huh!" Kang Jianfei breathed a long sigh of relief and was almost scared to death.
Perhaps it is because Kang Jianfei's childhood experience has left him with a very serious psychological shadow. This person who is not afraid of heaven and earth has extremely fear of marriage and offspring. This fear can make him at a loss in an instant and even speak in a difficult manner.
When Zhao Yazhi saw Kang Jianfei with relief expression, he said angrily: "A Fei, do you seem to like children?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's because I don't want to ask it too early," Kang Jianfei's scalp was numb. He didn't want to get too entangled on this issue. He pointed to the TV and said, "Watch TV station, who will be the Miss SIPG champion this year?"
Zhao Yazhi felt a little disappointed, and leaned silently in Kang Jianfei's arms to watch the Hong Kong Miss program. After a long time, he said, "I think No. 14 is the most beautiful."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "Sister Zhi is a female pervert and also likes women with big breasts."
The No. 14 that Zhao Yazhi said was called Pan Lixian, whose bust reached a terrifying 38, was a real bob*, and his face was also good, and he was the favorite to win this time.
"You are the big pervert," Zhao Yazhi said angrily, "but the beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong should avoid suspicion. The most beautiful ones often cannot win the championship. Pan Lixian will definitely not be able to win the championship."
Zhao Yazhi was the fourth place in Hong Kong Miss back then. Kang Jianfei joked: "Sister Zhi, are you praising yourself for being beautiful? In fact, if you don't tell me, I know this fact."
"I didn't!" Zhao Yazhi was originally a little depressed, but now he was chasing Kang Jianfei, and finally he became happy after the rain and the sky cleared.
Before they knew it, Zhao Yazhi lay half of his body on Kang Jianfei, and the two of them were sweetly watching TV together.
Kang Jianfei pointed to the TV screen and said, "I think this number 6 is good."
"No. 6?" Zhao Yazhi carefully searched the figure of the No. 6 beauties and searched for a long time before saying, "This Weng Meiling is the shortest among all beauties. She will definitely not be able to enter the top five in the finals."
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: It would be best if he couldn't enter the top five, and he could sign her in Lishi.
The 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular, and Weng Meiling made great contributions to the role of Huang Rong. Now Kang Jianfei is the boss of Lishi, so he naturally has to find a way to dig up Weng Meiling. Even if he signs and does nothing, he can weaken the influence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1983.
