In the blink of an eye, it was July. Although Cameron was in charge of the later stages of Jurassic Park, Kang Jianfei, as a director, could not ignore it. He flew to the United States from time to time to monitor the progress. .

In comparison, Kang Jianfei met Sophie Marceau more often than Cameron in the United States. The two even went to Hawaii for a few days.

The production of "Jurassic Park" will be completed at least by the end of July. It is definitely too late to catch up with the summer season in the United States, because there is no time to arrange the film, so it can only be shown at the end of this year.

During this time, Kang Jianfei didn't just care about playing. First, he went to attend the final of the King of Fighters World Championship, then went to Taipei to support Zhou Huimin's concert, and then returned to Hong Kong to attend the Miss Oriental finals.

This year's Miss Hong Kong and Miss Oriental beauty pageants did not respond well, mainly due to the low quality of the beauty pageants. Hong Kong sister champion Lu Shuyi and Asian sister champion Feng Meiying, they have a big gap compared to the previous champions. They are beautiful, but they don't make people feel bright.

After participating in the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals, Kang Jianfei went to Beijing non-stop, along with Hong Kong filmmakers such as Zou Wenhuai.

Due to the chief executive's southern tour at the beginning of the year, the political winds in the mainland have finally settled down, and the relatively sensitive content of the previous two years was brought up for discussion again, including the proposal to introduce Hong Kong films.

After a full week of meetings, a document titled "Introduction Plan for Ten Outstanding Hong Kong-made Films" was finally approved, that is, 10 Hong Kong films are allowed to be screened in the mainland in the form of split accounts each year.

These 10 films must pass the censorship of relevant mainland departments, and the rules for splitting accounts are very strict, and Hong Kong producers can only receive 16% of the box office. The rest are owned by the mainland units.

There are still some things that are not stated in the document, that is, out of the annual quota of 10 Hong Kong films, at least 5 films produced by DreamWorks must be accounted for. This is something that originally belonged to DreamWorks, and it is a return for Kang Jianfei's support for the mainland, but the previous two years were interrupted due to wind direction issues.

The remaining 5 movies limit. It is only divided by other film companies in Hong Kong. Among them, Golden Harvest will account for at least 3 films, and the number of places is really pitiful.

For many film companies in Hong Kong, although the introduction plan of Hong Kong films from the mainland is tasteless, it is a good start. In terms of the current total box office, the mainland is a big box office far exceeding Taiwan's film market. Once one day, it will be tantamount to another box-office paradise beckoning to Hong Kong filmmakers.

At this moment, no one knows that the mainland box office market will shrink sharply in the next ten years. Both Zou Wenhuai and Wu Siyuan have unlimited expectations for entering the mainland.

...

Just when Kang Jianfei, Zou Wenhuai and others returned from the capital. Two major events happened in the Hong Kong film industry.

First, Huang Baiming and Luo Jiecheng officially broke up and separated. Huang Baiming joined more than 20 movie theaters to form the Xincheng Cinema Company, and there was another big cinema chain in Hong Kong. (In another time and space, the theater chain Huang Baiming formed at this time was called the Oriental Cinema Line, and his film company was also renamed the Oriental Film Company)

Nowadays, there are too many cinema chains in Hong Kong. The new cinema chain led by Huang Baiming will undoubtedly make the water in the Hong Kong film industry even more muddy. Apart from Hong Kong, I am afraid there is no other place in the world. Nearly 200 cinemas and six or seven large cinema chains will be gathered in such a high density.

The second is Shao Yifu's old Ji Fu, bypassing Shaw Brothers and using the name of Metropolis Films. He paid for To Qifeng to be the director, Wang Jing to be the producer, and the popular stars such as Zhou Xingchi, Anita Mui, and Wu Mengda were invited to film "The Dead Man".

According to Shao Yifu's original plan, it was to use the resources of TVB's directors, stars and other resources to make Shaw Brothers make a comeback. But Fang Yihua, who was in charge of the wireless station, did not cooperate with him at all, and Shao Yifu, who was unwilling, simply avoided Fang Yihua and the wireless station. Spend money directly to invite outsiders to film.

"Dead Man" exploded at the box office as soon as it was released, and it took more than two months to release the film. It collected 49.88 million box office, directly breaking the Hong Kong box office record set by "A Happy Family" during the Spring Festival.

Where the **** did this Metropolitan Film Company come from?

When the composition of the Met's shares is clarified. People were surprised to find that the boss behind the scenes was Shao Yifu. Uncle Shao, who once dominated the Hong Kong film industry, is back!

Shao Yifu is 85 years old this year. Does he still want to make a comeback in the film industry and reproduce the glory of Shaw Brothers?

The major newspapers have praised Shao Yifu's sword for being young, but Shao Yifu himself is very low-key, and has never appeared in public from beginning to end.

Peninsula Cafe.

Shao Yifu took a sip of tea and sighed: "Tianlin, thanks to you running this time, otherwise "Dead Judge" would not have been filmed at all."

"Uncle Six, you're welcome, I'm just talking about it." Wang Tianlin said with a smile.

The producer of "Death Judge" is Wang Tianlin's son, and the director is Wang Tianlin's apprentice. He really put a lot of effort into it. It can be said that the framework of the crew was built by Wang Tianlin.

Shao Yifu chatted with Wang Tianlin about some old things and said with emotion: "In the past, when we made a movie, it was a great thing to break 1 million at the box office. Where can you imagine that now a movie can earn 50 million at the box office, which is really a golden age of movies. ."

Wang Tianlin ate the pineapple buns and said, "After all, it is the world of young people, we are all old."

"Yes, after all, it is the world of young people." Shao Yifu whispered.

Although "Dead Man" broke the Hong Kong box office record, Shao Yifu did not have much joy. Because this film was not produced by Shaw Brothers, he was at most a film investor, Shao Yifu. He didn't even sign the producer column, and directly wrote Fang Yihua's name on it (Metropolis is Shaw Brothers and A joint-stock company of Radio Station).

There is no successor in the film business, and breaking the record is only a flash in the pan. At his age, he doesn't have so much energy to toss. This is the biggest regret in Shao Yifu's heart.

"I heard that Kang Jianfei's 400 million movie is about to be released?" Shao Yifu asked.

Wang Tianlin said: "Just this month, soon."

Shao Yifu suddenly smiled and said, "I would like to go and see what a movie with a cost of 400 million can be made."

...

"What? Shao Daheng is coming to the premiere of "Jurassic Park"?" Kang Jianfei looked at Wang Jing in surprise.

Fatty Wang nodded and said, "My old bean said, after "The Dead Man", Sir Shao probably won't make any more movies."

Sometimes when people get old, they can see through everything. 10 years ago, it was absolutely impossible for Shao Yifu to come and hold Kang Jian to fly. This time, "The Dead Man" broke the Hong Kong box office record. Shao Yifu regarded it as a perfect ending to his film career, and went to the premiere of "Jurassic Park". It was a handover ceremony in disguise. A kind of spiritual encouragement to young Hong Kong filmmakers, and a good wish for the future of Hong Kong film industry.

Friday, August 14.

The second week after the end of the screening of "The Dead Man", the premiere of "Jurassic Park" was held at the Taiping Theatre as scheduled.

This film costing 400 million Hong Kong dollars has attracted attention from all parties before it was filmed, and several waves of publicity have long been anticipated.

Outside the Taiping Theater was crowded, and star after star appeared, murdering countless reporters' films.

Kang Jianfei was standing at the entrance of the theater this time, welcoming every guest warmly, until a car with a No. 6 plate approached, and he suddenly stepped forward to greet him.

"I read that right? It's actually number 6."

"It won't be Sir Shaw."

"How could it be Shao Daheng."

"The car stopped~lightnovelpub.net~ to see who came down."

"It's Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing's father."

"There are still people, it's Shao Daheng!"

"Shao Daheng is here to attend Kang Jianfei's movie premiere!"

"..."

The reporters nodded their heads and squeezed forward. When they saw Shao Yifu getting out of the car, they all exclaimed.

Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome Sir Shao and Uncle Tianlin."

Shao Yifu leaned on a cane in one hand and said with a smile, "I'm here to see Mr. Kang's masterpiece."

When the two men held their hands together, the astute reporters immediately pressed the shutter of the camera to record this rare scene. (To be continued)
