Since Kang Jianfei joined Phoenix TV, the ratings of the TV station have only rebounded slightly, but they are far from TVB.

Since the two TV series "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" and "The Legend of Qin" are quite popular, not many people in the outside world question whether Kang Jianfei is capable of doing a good job in the TV station, but there are many people waiting to see him laugh.

Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to replace a new show for variety shows or something.

All plans have been formulated and need to be implemented step by step. The first step to make Phoenix TV ratings soar is to create two classic signature TV series. Then, taking advantage of the huge increase in ratings, they will gradually reform other programs.

To be honest, Kang Jianfei has the golden finger of a time traveler, making money by making a few more movies than being a TV station. But he still deliberately spent money to acquire the TV station, and even spent precious time personally producing the TV series.

Oriental DreamWorks, Phoenix TV and Fengxing Records will form a complementary iron triangle in the future.

In addition to helping Oriental DreamWorks and Fengxing Records, Phoenix TV is also a talent training base. The actors and behind-the-scenes personnel of the TV station and DreamWorks can be fully communicated.

What about Fengxing Records? The film and television works of Phoenix Channel and DreamWorks must have various music content. Fengxing Records can not only help Phoenix Channel and DreamWorks produce music, but also help them publish and sell records.

As for Oriental DreamWorks, it can exist as a money-making and star-making machine. Phoenix Channel and Fengxing Records have potential stars, DreamWorks can all bring them to another level by making movies.

After the construction of this iron triangle is completed, Kang Jianfei's film and television empire in Hong Kong is only inferior to the cinema chain.

Regarding the movie theater chain, Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry, and he can't come even if he is anxious. When Hong Kong films prosper to a certain stage, it is very easy to do a theater chain, but it is hard to say whether the theater chain can make a profit.

At least now, Shaw Brothers Cinemas is operating at a loss almost every month, and has lost at least 50 million in the past two years. If it weren’t for the strong family of Shaw, it would have been impossible for anyone else to hold on.

Kang Jianfei also thought about investing in a cinema in mainland China. Last time he went to mainland China to film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he asked by the way, but the answer he got disappointed Kang Jianfei.

Cinemas are cultural infrastructure and are not allowed to be controlled by foreign capital at all. No matter how much money they invest, it will be wasted.

If Kang Jianfei expected it would be fine, at least until the signing of the CEPA agreement in 2003, Hong Kong capital would not be able to control the mainland cinemas. At most, the joint venture theaters will give you part of the equity, but even if you invest 10 billion to build a theater chain in the mainland, it is impossible to have a say.

…………

It is July. The British old lady was furious and the Cabernet War, which had been fighting Argentina for more than two months, was over.

Hong Kong is really far away. It should be said that it has little to do with Hong Kong people, but the facts are exactly the opposite.

After winning the Falklands War, Britain began to make negotiations with China on the Hong Kong issue with the power of victory. I heard that the old British lady has a great appetite this time and plans to continue to rule Hong Kong. She is also preparing to visit China in the near future on this issue.

Hong Kong newspapers began to make various predictions, some said that the Beijing authorities would surrender to the UK this time, and some said that the People's Liberation Army would take back Hong Kong by force after the negotiations broke down. Anyway, rumors spread everywhere for a while, and it made people feel unconfident.

Kang Jianfei already knew the result, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He started to make the final publicity with the creative team of "The True Heroes".

At the same time, Jiahe's "Plan a" also increased its publicity offensive. Movie advertisements were published in major newspapers.

In parallel space, "Plan a" was an idea that Cheng Long had only after he starred in "The Story of the Story of the Five Blessings". However, it has been filmed earlier than "The Story of the Story of the Story of the Story of the Story".

In addition to Cheng Long's "Plan A", this year's Jiahe summer schedule also arranged for "Hong Jinbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River". As for "Dragon Ninja" directed by Yuan Kui, it was released in June and won several million box offices.

Shaw Brothers Theater has three movies planned to be released in July, two of which are works by Liu Jiaban. However, compared with the promotional momentum of "The True Color of Heroes" and "Plan A", Shaw Brothers' movies are much calmer. They usually advertise in newspapers and then post posters at the entrance of the theater. They look like they are willing to take the bait.

"Plan a" was released a few days before "The True Heroes" and won a super high box office of 8.56 million in the first week, which made the media exclaim that the real Cheng Long was back.

I heard that when Zou Wenhuai got the box office data, he danced happily and praised Cheng Long as his blessing.

On July 8, just the sixth day after the release of "Plan a" the premiere, "The True Color of Heroes" also held its premiere as scheduled.

At this time, the box office dark horse of "The Beautiful Girl" has only been lost for two days. In addition, Kang Jianfei took over Phoenix TV, and the media's attention to "The True Color of Heroes" has reached a new level.

The movies between Kang Jianfei and Cheng Long have been competing with each other several times before. Except for the box office of "The Dragon Master" that was several hundred yuan higher than "The Dao Ma Dan", it seems that Cheng Long lost every time.

This time, will Cheng Long fight a beautiful turnaround, or will he continue to be suppressed by Kang Jianfei?

On the day of the premiere, various film critics entered the premiere theater one after another, wanting to have a sneak peek and predict the box office of "The True Heroes".

...

Shu Qi recently started the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association and almost broke his leg because of contact. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Similarly, it also made him realize a reality, that is, Hong Kong movies are still extremely immature, and forming professional groups in the near future is not very meaningful.

After giving up the idea of ​​forming an entertainers association, Shu Qi put his energy back to "Movie Biweekly" and next year's Academy Awards. First, he asked someone to design trophys, then planned and set up various awards, and selected famous foreign filmmakers to be invited next year.

Now the trophy for the Golden Star Awards is still being designed. After receiving the invitation to Kang Jianfei’s new film premiere, Shu Qi also took the opportunity to come out to watch the film and get some breath.

Wu Yusen sat not far from Shu Qi. After his two consecutive movies were filmed, no one was willing to ask him to make a movie anymore. Wu Yusen's good friend Xu Ke did a good job in Xinyi City. Last week, he invited Wu Yusen to Xinyi City. He was preparing to let him make a new movie.

Wu Yusen, who has suffered consecutive setbacks, is now lacking in self-confidence, and even he himself doubts whether his next movie can make money. Now Kang Jianfei is the most popular director in Hong Kong, and Wu Yusen is specifically looking at "The True Color of Heroes" to learn from the scriptures.

After the program interaction on the stage, the movie officially began to be screened.

Zhou Runfa, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, appeared on the screen, started eating street stall snacks, chased the vendor to pay, and then got into Brother Hao's car and entered the company together.

When they saw the company's employees greeting "Brother Hao" and "Brother Xiao Ma", all the audience, including Wu Yusen, Shu Qi, Yishu and others, thought that Zhou Run played a company executive.

However, a scene that quickly shocked the audience appeared. A 100 dollar bill appeared on a computer monitor. An expert in a white jacket operated the mouse and began to manually modify the number of the dollar bill.

Then the full version of the US dollar bill was adjusted, and then the hulala machine started to run, and stacks of US dollar bills were printed like this.

"Damn. These are printed with counterfeit money!"

"Brother Ma's actions are so handsome when lighting cigarettes with US dollars."

"High-tech. In the past, when filming counterfeit money was printed, it required a power board, and this was fully automatic by the computer."

“…”

Wu Yusen was quite surprised that the starring actor was set as a counterfeit money dealer. He initially thought it was a black/gang film like "The Godfather". It was not until Zhang Guorong, who was taking the police academy, appeared that Wu Yusen felt that it was not that simple, and the subsequent plot must be more complicated.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guorong accompanied Guan Zhilin to take the violin test and made the audience laugh. The laughter didn't stop for long. Brother Hao, played by Chen Huimin, was arrested in Taiwan.

Brother Ma appeared on the overpass in Ximending, reading the newspaper with a toothpick in his arms. The headlines of the newspaper were the news that Brother Hao was arrested.

"It's my life to step into the world,

Not willing to be a bad guy.

Being a brother is outdated.

I wore gold and silver (everyday).

Sometimes I'll be tight on my hands.

Swedish brothers, Drama Ting (helping through the difficulties)

…”

With the Taiwanese linguistic song "The Floating Brothers", Zhou Runfa appeared in the aisle of Fenglin Pavilion Restaurant, hugging a restaurant girl and dancing with tango.

The two of them had beautiful dance moves. There were even close-ups of Zhou Runfa's eyes and big hands touching each other. But under the cover of this beautiful dance, Zhou Runfa took out a pistol and stuffed it into the bonsai in the aisle, indicating what Xiao Ma wants to do next.

Wu Yusen took a breath. He never thought that black/gangjianghu films could still be shot like this, especially the subsequent series of gun battles, which turned violence into an art.

The other audience members at the scene also held their breath and stared at the big screen with concentration. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until the end of the gun battle. However, at this moment, Brother Ma was crawled out by the opponent and shot him in the leg. Finally, after killing the enemy, he dragged a lame leg out.

Brother Hao returned to Hong Kong after being jailed. The brother turned against him and was homeless. He wanted to reform himself and became a taxi driver. When showing the scene of Brother Hao carrying passengers, Kang Jianfei did not use the original soundtrack, but instead replaced the interlude of "I haven't been a big brother for many years".

Most people in Hong Kong can still understand Mandarin. Ten years ago, the most popular songs and movies in Hong Kong were all in Mandarin, so Kang Jianfei was too lazy to change the Cantonese lyrics.

This song appears twice in the film, and another time when Zhang Guorong pressed his brother to the wall to search his body. When asked when there was a transaction, Brother Hao said helplessly: "Ah, I haven't been a big brother for a long time!"

At this moment, the song "I haven't been a big brother for many years" sounded again, adding a bit of sorrow to the movie.

Brother Ma's down and Acheng's betrayal aroused strong reaction from the audience, and the audience was so excited that they were so excited that they watched it.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Brother Ma was suddenly shot in the head and fell slowly.

The cinema, which was still very lively just now, suddenly became quiet. The audience was stunned by the sudden death, followed by a wave of dissatisfaction and curses.

"Are you wrong? Brother Ma died like this?"

"It's too worth it. The gun battle was not dead against Hong, but he actually died under the cold gun."

"Is the screenwriter pretending to be feces in his mind? Where can I kill the protagonist like this!"

"The director's skin shovels!"

“…”

Wu Yusen listened to the venting of the audience around him and had to admit the success of director Kang Jianfei. A movie can only enjoy such strong abuse from the audience after it strongly attracts the audience.

The movie continued. After the audience scolded a few times, they soon continued to watch the movie obediently.

When the audience saw Ah Cheng Yaowu surrendering with great might, they were afraid that the director would do anything again, and some people couldn't help but shout, "Kill him quickly!"

"Kill this rebellious boy!"

"There are no bullets, kill him with your fist!"

“…”

Zhang Guorong walked out of the container and stuffed the pistol he picked into Brother Hao's hand.

After two gunshots, watching A Cheng fall down when he was shot, the nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they applauded and cheered.

The movie has been screened, but the audience's applause is endless. Although Brother Ma's death has made many viewers feel uneasy, the whole movie is still very satisfying.

Wu Yusen walked out of the cinema in silence, recalling and pondering the details of the movie in his heart, and admiring Kang Jianfei more and more. He found that this "Heroic Reality" was very suitable for his taste, and some of the things expressed in the movie coincided with his ideas, and he felt a little like meeting a soulmate.

The film reviews in the newspaper the next day, in addition to complaining that Kang Jianfei killed Little Ma Ge, he almost fell to the ground and praised "The True Color of Heroes".

Shu Qi wrote in "Movie Biweekly": "After the release of "The True Color of Heroes", it may set off a future black/gang film trend just like "Mr. Zombie" is like zombie films."

Yishu's film review column stated: "A man like Brother Hao is worthy of possession, but Brother Xiao Ma can only be seen from a distance for women. In a sense, they are all heroes, with the qualities and true nature of heroes... In fact, I appreciate the most of this film not the hot gunfight, but the interlude sang by children in the church. I called Director Kang afterwards, and he said that the song is called "Tomorrow Will Better."

"The True Color of Heroes" has a very high reputation among film critics, and just a week ago, the media also praised Cheng Long's "Plan a".
