338 [Hu Yuejin Returns to Hong Kong]
The box office of nearly 8 million yuan is already good in Hong Kong. Why does Xu Ke still feel shameless to meet people?
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods.
Chen Xunqi and Xu Ke are the generals of DreamWorks and New Art City respectively. From Lei Juekun poaching Chen Xunqi and then Kang Jianfei poaching Xu Ke, this war has long been regarded as the two big shots in the film industry.
Lei Juekun invested in helping Chen Xunqi build a Yongjia Film Company, and Kang Jianfei invested in a movie studio for Xu Ke. The outside world has been paying attention to the development of the two and want to decide the outcome.
"The City of Fighting" and "The Beauty of Beauty" are the first works of Xu Ke Film Studio and Yongjia Film respectively. The two movies were released during the Spring Festival at the same time, and the theaters they released are New Era and Princess Jin respectively.
After this, the box office battle between "The City of Decision" and "The Beauty of Love" was directly derived from the competition between Kang Jianfei and Lei Juekun.
Xu Ke's "The City of Fighting" has a box office of nearly 8 million, but this movie has many big scenes, with a production cost of over 5 million; Chen Xunqi's "The Beauty" has a box office of 9 million, and the biggest expense is the pay of the heroine Xiao Fangfang, which is less than 1.5 million.
By comparing the two, Xu Ke's "The City of Jue" lost too badly, which means that Kang Jianfei lost to Lei Juekun.
However, whether it is "The City of Decision" or "The Beauty of Love", they are all running around this year's Spring Festival. The real winner is "ET" released by Shaw Brothers theaters, as well as "The Water Police Eagle" starring Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao on Jiahe, and "The Little Imperial" starring Kang Jianfei.
Hollywood films have always been unacceptable to the local conditions in Hong Kong. Few Western films have box offices that surpass Hong Kong films. "Alien" was released in Hong Kong that year and only sold 3.2 million yuan in box office.
But this time it was different. After the release of "ET", the box office soared, especially with Shaw Brothers' help, which was far more powerful than the original Time and Space Li Lianle Films' release. In a blink of an eye, the box office exceeded 10 million. "The Water Police Eagle" starring Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao is not to be outdone. The box office of the two movies quickly exceeded 15 million together, and it is still being released.
The weirdest thing is not this, but the new era theaters directly released Kang Jianfei's "The Little Imperial Household" after the "Jiucheng" was released.
"The Water Police Eagle" was released on the first day of the Spring Festival by Jiahe Theater, while "ET" and "Home Imperial" were released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"The Water Police Eagle" was the first to be a box office of 24.5 million, and then only "ET" and "Home Imperial" were left to fight.
A Hong Kong tabloid jokingly praised: "This year's Spring Festival is about watching ghosts fight!"
Ghosts are the ghosts of foreign devils. "ET" and "The Little Imperial Household" are foreign films, so fighting is like ghosts.
After the Spring Festival, Cheng Long's "The Water Police Eagle" ranked first with a box office of 24.5 million; "Home Imperial" was directed by Kang Jianfei, and the rumors that this film "makes tens of millions of dollars a day" actually sold a rare Western film box office of 21.4 million; and "ET" ranked third with a box office of 18.6 million.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

"Two cylinders."
"bump!"
"Slow down, it's bad!"
"What are you doing? Sister Qingxia, you won't let go!"
"That's right, you've all lost everyone."
"Don't say much, get the money soon."
“…”
Lin Qingxia laughed and spread her hands, while Wen Bixia threw the 1 dollar coin with bitterness, and then she mopped the mahjong in depression to prepare for the next game.
The end of the year is a rest day, and celebrities in the entertainment industry are no exception. Some singers and TV stars may need to perform during the Spring Festival, but most movie actors take the opportunity to rest, and the biggest entertainment during rest is playing cards.
Playing mahjong and playing poker are a repertoire of Hong Kong celebrities during the Chinese New Year. This trend has been circulating since the 1960s to the present.
Lin Qingxia is not very good at playing cards, and she is just a dodgy in Taiwanese mahjong, and she knows the basics of playing Hong Kong mahjong.
Novice are generally very addicted to cards. A few days ago, after Lin Qingxia was pulled to learn how to play Hong Kong mahjong, she asked Zhong Chuhong to practice all day long. Because three missing one, Kang Jianfei was not very interested in playing cards, so she called Wen Bixia over with one call, and the other one was Zhou Runfa.
Everyone didn't gamble much, and the gambling money that was only 1 yuan was nothing to several big stars.
Among the four, Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia are not very good at playing cards. Instead, Wen Bixia was influenced by her gambling father since childhood and played good cards at a young age.
It’s a pity that Wen Bixia thought the 1 yuan gambling money was too small and always wanted to be a big brand. Even if she touched herself, she wouldn’t bother to lose the most. As a result, she had the best card skills.
After receiving the call, Kang Jianfei walked to Lin Qingxia and sat down, and asked, "How many have you won?"
Wen Bixia pouted and said, "Sister Qingxia is so lucky, she has won more than 300."
"You lost the most, right?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile. He only watched Wen Bixia play a few times, and he knew that if this girl was not very lucky, she would definitely lose the way of playing as a big brand.
Wen Bixia sighed and said, "I've got all the cards in my hand. I was going to touch myself, but Sister Qingxia robbed her first."
Zhou Runfa doesn't like playing cards very much. He was called by Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong as a sparring player. He held his cheeks in his hand and touched the cards in one hand and said, "Qingxia is really lucky. The three of us lose, and she won the money alone."
After hearing what Zhou Run said, Kang Jianfei remembered an interview video I saw in his previous life.
The reporter interviewed many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities and specifically asked about playing cards, and those celebrities also took the opportunity to reveal many secrets.
For example, Chen Baixiang claims to be high IQ and has a good knowledge of various card skills. He is a skilled player, but he loses more than he wins when playing cards. Alan Tam usually doesn't say a word, and keeps stuffing money into his pockets when playing cards. He has almost never lost any time playing cards. Anita Mui is a big loser. He can't play cards but often joins in the fun. He has to pay for his money if he loses money. Wang Jing, the fat man, made a lot of gambling movies, but his card skills are unpredictable. Jacky Cheung loses to Carina Lau every time he plays cards, and then wins back from Liang Chaowei; Wang Chuxian is a big confused player, which often makes everyone laugh; Lin Qingxia is the ever-winning general at the gambling table. Although he plays cards badly, he is very lucky every time, and can make his card friends angry.
Kang Jianfei sat next to him and watched for a long time, when Zhou Runfa's girlfriend Chen Yulian came.
Seeing that Zhou Runfa had played two games, Chen Yulian complained that Zhou Run's card dealing skills were too bad, and in the end the four women fought around the gambling table.
Zhou Runfa had long felt that playing cards with three women was awkward, and now he was finally relieved and sat next to him and chatted with Kang Jianfei.
When talking about next year's filming plan, Kang Jianfei pointed to the gambling table and asked, "Afa, what do you think I'm making a gambling movie?"
Zhou Runfa asked strangely: "A gambling movie like "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Bas"?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's a little different, it's very interesting anyway."
Zhou Runfa nodded and said, "Mr. Kang's movies are very interesting."
"How about you be the male lead?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Me?" Zhou Runfa said loudly in surprise.
The four women who were playing cards looked over at the same time. Chen Yulian asked Zhou Runfa and said, "What are you talking about? It's shocking."
Zhou Runfa explained: "Mr. Kang is going to make a gambling movie and want me to be the male lead. I don't even know how to play mahjong. How can I act well in gambling movies?"
"Brother Fa made a gambling movie? It must be very interesting." Zhong Chuhong said with funny. She has collaborated with Zhou Runfa for several films, so her personal relationship is very good.
Wen Bixia took the opportunity to say, "Brother, can I be the heroine?"
"No, you are too young." Kang Jianfei shook his head.
The girlfriend of the God of Gamblers should be beautiful and elegant. Zhong Chuhong is too sexy, Lin Qingxia is too heroic, Wen Bixia is still not a good candidate at this stage, and none of them are very suitable for Guan Zhilin's image.
In fact, compared to the heroine, the second female lead in "God of Gambling" has more scenes. Should Yu Kanping look for Wang Shuxian?
Kang Jianfei stayed for a while, and then he saw that the time was about the same, then got up and said to the few people: "You guys keep playing, I'll pick someone up at the airport first."
With Kang Jianfei's current identity, there are few people except his women who deserve to be picked up by him personally.
This time, Kang Jianfei is going to pick up Hu Juncai who returned to Hong Kong for the New Year.
When he drove to the airport, Kang Jianfei soon saw Hu Juncai coming out, and there was a girl next to the kid.
Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile, and came to Hu Juncai with a long-lost bear hug, and then said, "Who is this beauty? You won't introduce it."
Hu Juncai smiled and hugged the girl's shoulder and said, "Ye Zishan, my girlfriend. Zishan, this is Kang Jianfei, the big capitalist I often call."
Ye Zishan looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed very simple, but her face is very beautiful without makeup, and she has a naive youthful atmosphere. She generously stretched out her hand and took the initiative to shake hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Hello, big capitalist!"
"Hello, beauty." Kang Jianfei shook hands with Ye Zishan, and then whispered to Hu Juncai, "Good boy, you have also learned to step on two boats."
Hu Juncai sighed and said, "Huang Minyi and I have already separated."
Kang Jianfei asked: "It wasn't it because I took you to Shaolin Temple and separated from the two places?"
"Not exactly." Hu Juncai replied.
"This girl has a good temperament, she is an official at home?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Hu Juncai whispered: "The Ye family in Jiangnan."
How many Ye families can there be in Jiangnan?
Kang Jianfei sighed in his heart, another good cabbage was huddled away, beautiful and powerful at home, where can I find such a good girl?
However, if he encounters such a romantic encounter, Kang Jianfei will definitely not be confused. He will not want to find a powerful woman from his parents' family to take care of him. Giving up the entire forest for a big tree is a broken mind.
The two of them muttered and walked out of the airport in a blink of an eye. Ye Zishan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what are you two big men talking about?"
Kang Jianfei's lie came out and said with a smile: "I'm asking A Cai Shang where he cheated a fairy back."
"Haha, you are so good at talking," Ye Zishan walked out of the airport, looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance, and sighed, "This is my first time in Hong Kong, the buildings here are so high." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
