"...In our traditional morality, Confucianism teaches that women should obey men, and this concept has flowed in our blood. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test "My Sassy Girl" does the opposite, Wang Zuixian The heroine Song Mingxi played is a modern woman with a strong personality. She looks savage but is actually weak inside...

...In just a few days, "My Sassy Girl" has surpassed 200,000 viewers in Seoul. And what about the films made by our Korean directors themselves? "Seoul Jesus", the highest-grossing film, received less than 50,000 moviegoers in five days, which is the gap between heaven and earth.

South Korea's 'new film movement' has been underway for three years, but there are only two or three works that really come out, and the box office is not too good. Korean directors should learn Hong Kong's film art, not blindly worship Europe and the United States, but must combine the cultural history and current situation of Korea, so that they can shoot classic movies that belong to our own people..."

-- "North Korea Film Weekly"

The situation of "My Sassy Girl" being released in South Korea can only be described as crazy. In the capital Seoul alone, there have been 200,000 moviegoers in less than a week. You must know that Cheng Long's "Dragon Fight" was released in South Korea half a year ago, and the total number of moviegoers in Seoul was just over 200,000.

The most famous Hong Kong influences in Korea today are Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Zhang Guorong, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuixian and Li Saifeng. Among them, Cheng Long has the highest cumulative number of moviegoers, but Zhou Runfa has the most commercial value. After the film censorship system in South Korea was relaxed, countless South Korean directors have followed suit in the past three years. Less Korean local black. Gang hero film, and Zhou Runfa is also the first Hong Kong artist invited to Korea to shoot commercials.

However, after the release of "My Sassy Girl", I am afraid that Wang Zuixian's commercial value in South Korea will suddenly surpass Zhou Runfa.

No way, "My Sassy Girl" is too popular in Korea. Korean people are just like mainland China. After being imprisoned for decades, although some gangster/criminal films can be sold in Korea, as long as films involving politics, religion and traditional ethics are all banned in the first 20 to 30 years.

Even now. **Movies can now appear in Korean cinemas without any scruples. But the film "Seoul Jesus" by Jang Sun-woo, director of the Korean Film New Movement, has been censored for more than two years. It won't make it to the screen until Christmas this year - in fact, he just filmed some bizarre experiences after a mental patient who claimed to be the reincarnation of **** escaped from the hospital.

"My Sassy Girl" has the taste of saving the country with curves. This film has nothing to do with politics and religion, but it directly hits the traditional concept of male superiority in Korea. While pleasing Korean women, it can also prevent Korean men from being disgusted.

This kind of challenge to traditional concepts is not comparable to the action and shootout films of Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa. It is a kind of ideological shock and impact. Coupled with the film's hilarious and touching nature, South Korean audiences rushed into the movie theaters to watch "My Sassy Girl" like a shopping mall promotion.

After World War II, feminist thought emerged in Europe and the United States. In the past, women in the United States did not work after marriage, but now they are entering the workplace one by one.

"My Sassy Girl" may be just a good romantic comedy for European and American audiences, but in the Confucian cultural circle of Asia. But it is a shock to traditional aesthetics.

A Japanese women's magazine praised Kang Jianfei after the release of "My Sassy Girl", calling him a "true feminist director".

Whether it is Japan, South Korea or Singapore and Hong Kong, a barbaric whirlwind suddenly blew up this Christmas. The young girls of the new generation regarded Wang Zuixian as their idols and used punches and kicks to express their love for their boyfriends.

When their boyfriends protested, the girls responded with the ten rules of love in the film, and began to question their boyfriends: You don't even want to be beaten for me, it means you don't love me at all!

Many men are very grateful to Kang Jianfei, because after watching the movie with their girlfriends, they went to learn to open a room in the movie to find romance, and naturally took each other down.

There are still many men gnashing their teeth at Kang Jianfei. A "My Sassy Girlfriend" has become a savage bible, making the originally gentle and lovely girl look hideous.

"Ming Pao Weekly" commented on this: "There is no doubt that Kang Jianfei has made another phenomenal film."

Although some elderly viewers have criticized the film, it has not stopped "My Sassy Girl" from raking in the box office everywhere. Not only has Wang Zuixian's title of the Four Heavenly Queens been consolidated, but his fame has soared again, and his influence is second only to Zhong Chuhong.

Wu Zhenyu, who plays the male lead, obviously has far more roles than the female lead, but his limelight is completely blocked by Wang Zuixian. Many fans have watched it a few times and don't even know what Wu Zhenyu's name is. They only know that he is "Morning Bull".

But even so, Wu Zhenyu has also risen from a dragon actor to a quasi-first-line movie star in Hong Kong. His good luck makes many young actors envy and jealous.

Wu Zhenyu in another time and space has several nicknames called "Liang Kun" and "Brother Kun", but now his nicknames are "Morning Bull" and "Brother Niu".

...

"Next time, the company's flagship film must be released without Kang Jianfei's film!" Pan Disheng threw a magazine on the table in disbelief.

Cen Jianxun sat on the sofa opposite him, drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, and then said, "But we are doing a cinema, and after all, we have to face Kang Jianfei's films, so we can't give up the entire golden period of Christmas."

Pan Disheng has nothing to say about this. They prepared a big-cast romantic comedy for Christmas screening, but it was crushed into scum by "My Sassy Girl", and it was only received at the box office in the first week. More than 5 million.

Although the overseas box office is added, this romantic comedy of Debao Films is definitely a big profit, but it is still overwhelmed by the movies released at the same time in Hong Kong, which still makes Pan Gongzi feel depressed.

Cen Jianxun got up and walked over, picked up the magazine that Pan Disheng had just thrown on the table, glanced at it and said, "Kang Jianfei really flew into the sky this time."

The magazine that Cen Jianxun has in his hands is the last issue of Time Magazine in 1987. It has a ranking of the 50 most outstanding directors in the world (living directors), of which Asian directors are listed in four: Japanese Director Akira Kurosawa ranked 7th. Hong Kong's director Hu Jinquan ranked 27th, and Japan's director Kenji Mizoguchi ranked 50th.

Kang Jianfei was also included in the list of the world's most outstanding directors, and his ranking was slightly behind Hu Jinquan at 32nd.

In fact, Kang Jianfei dismissed this ranking. The devil knows how the editors of "Time Magazine" came out. This thing is very subjective, and even the personal relationship between the director and the editor is good or bad. It may affect the ranking of this list.

However, for other Hong Kong filmmakers, the ranking of Time Magazine is a very high honor, which is the authoritative certification of a famous American magazine.

Phoenix TV and several Hong Kong newspapers have reported on this, so Pan Disheng only had the last issue of Time Magazine in his hands.

Kang Jianfei is in the list of 50 places. It's in the middle, but it's very eye-catching. Because only he is in his 20s, the youngest of the other directors on the list are already in their 40s.

In any case, Kang Jianfei's reputation as a talented director is well-deserved. After the authoritative certification of "Time Magazine", he belongs to a veritable international director.

...

Pan Disheng was depressed when the box office was not as good as expected. However, Huang Baiming shouted that it was a fluke. His desperate big cast "The Annunciation of Eight Stars" originally wanted to be released in the Christmas season, but only because the schedule could not compete with Xinyicheng, he took the next step and set it in mid-January. That's the middle of the New Year's Eve.

Now it seems that "The Eight Stars Announcement" just avoided the strong period of "My Sassy Girl", Huang Baiming laughed and watched the movie in Xinyi City.

Hong Kong night market, a large food stall.

Huang Baiming, who is already the owner of the film company, is having a late-night snack with To Qifeng, Lin Lingdong and Teddy Robin in a food stall.

In the year when Kang Jianfei came over, Du Qifeng made a new wave movie that hit the streets. Later, he felt that his ability was insufficient, so he went back to filming TV dramas. Vientiane Pictures.

Lin Lingdong and Teddy Robin used to be in Xinyi City, and when Huang Baiming left, they also had a good time there, so they all ran out to Huang Baiming, and Teddy Robin himself even got a small house. record company.

A hero with three gangs, Huang Baiming is not only unhappy when he is single-handedly, but now he has three generals under his command to feel a lot more at ease. Although he has already withdrawn from Xinyi City, many handovers have not yet been completed, such as how the copyrights of the previous films were divided, how much they would be worth in exchange for money, and various hidden assets are difficult to count.

Huang Baiming is going to talk to Lei Juekun after the new year. He wants to use those hidden assets of Xinyicheng to exchange for a part of the equity of Vientiane Pictures, and then take out a part of his own to exchange the equity of these new companies. Allocate to the three of Du Qifeng, and use the shares to win over the three generals.

"I just said, don't compete with Mecca and the others, Kang Jianfei's movie idiot just bumped into each other, now they know they have a headache." Teddy Robin drank beer gloatingly, it seemed that Mecca and Shi Tian's movie was smashed, made him very happy.

Du Qifeng said with emotion: "I watched "My Sassy Girl" yesterday. Kang Jianfei is really good. We actually chased after his **** all the time, but we couldn't catch up."

Huang Baiming smiled comfortingly and said, "Ah Feng, don't be too arrogant. Our "The Eight Stars Announcement" is also good. I guess it may even surpass "My Sassy Girl" at the box office."

Lin Lingdong agreed: "It's very possible."

Huang Baiming's words are not arrogant, but have his reasons. "The Announcement of Eight Stars" gathers eight popular stars, which is a comedy film for all ages, while the main audience of "My Sassy Girl" is young people, and many elderly viewers even have some doubts about "My Sassy Girl". disgust.

"That's not necessarily true," Du Qifeng shook his head and said, "When the summer 'Fang Fang' was just released, I estimated that it had a box office of up to 28 million, and this was combined with Kang Jianfei's influence and the publicity effect brought by the Cannes award. The film is even more difficult to be accepted by Hong Kong audiences than "My Sassy Girl", but it is completely unreasonable to sell at the box office, and finally broke the 40 million mark, who knows how much "My Sassy Girl" will eventually sell at the box office."

When Du Qifeng said this, Huang Baiming felt the same. "Fang Fang" is currently the only film with a box office of over 40 million. Huang Baiming has studied it countless times afterward, but he still has not figured out what happened.

Du Qifeng took a sip of wine and said mysteriously: "And I heard Wang Jing say that Kang Jianfei seems to be making a big move again."

Teddy Robin asked, "Are you talking about his plans to open a film company in Korea?"

"Opening a company in South Korea?" Du Qifeng was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Kang Jianfei is about to officially enter Hollywood."

Huang Baiming asked: "DreamWorks seems to be entering Hollywood all the time."

Du Qifeng said with a smile: "I mean, Kang Jianfei seems to be buying Paramount."

"What?" Lin Lingdong, who didn't speak much, suddenly exclaimed strangely, "Kang Jianfei wants to buy Paramount. He didn't take the wrong medicine, right?"

For filmmakers all over the world, Paramount Pictures is a behemoth, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to cooperate with Paramount. There will never be any opposition to Paramount or acquisition of Paramount. idea.

"I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, Wang Jing said it after drinking last time." Du Qifeng is Wang Jing's father's apprentice, and the two have a very good private relationship.

Lin Lingdong asked: "Does Kang Jianfei have that much money? It will cost at least several billion to acquire Paramount."

Huang Baiming is a former boss after all~lightnovelpub.net~ He is very aware of how profitable Kang Jianfei's Oriental Group has made in recent years, he nodded and said: "Kang Jianfei's personal assets are at least 3 billion US dollars, and he can make money together. Go to the bank to borrow some more, and he will definitely be able to come up with enough money."

Teddy Robin shook his head: "Acquiring Paramount is outrageous, but it's more realistic to open a film company in Korea."

South Korea only allowed foreign funds to directly invest in film companies, shoot and distribute films in South Korea after January 1987. In addition, South Korea's economy has taken off in recent years, and Hong Kong stars are very popular in South Korea, so the Korean film market is simply a virgin land to be developed for Hong Kong filmmakers.

If nothing else, open a film company in South Korea, and then invest a little money, get one or two Hong Kong stars and a bunch of local Korean actors to make movies, as long as you take care of the official Korean channels, you can easily make movies in Korea. Money in Korea.

Huang Baiming is too busy in Hong Kong, otherwise, in his eyes, he would definitely go to South Korea to invest in movies.
