In the entertainment industry in the 1980s, including Japan and the United States, various mechanisms were not as perfect as they were later.

Take the Hong Kong film industry as an example, films and TV series rarely hold new film conferences, because for production companies, holding a press conference is another expense. But don't think that it's just money for a few cups of tea on the spot. If you want others to help you promote it, you have to pay a publicity fee to major newspapers.

Of course, it’s okay to not give money, but then the publicity effect will not be maximized, and there may even be newspapers that sing the opposite.

However, since Kang Jianfei released several new film conferences, other well-known directors have followed suit and started to promote the film at the beginning of filming. As long as the director and starring are famous, then there is no need to worry about the lack of reporters at the press conference of the new film, because reporters also want to grab news. As for the publicity fee for the newspaper, most companies are reluctant to pay. Anyway, as long as the director and starring are famous, there will always be a few newspapers that will automatically help to promote it.

Kang Jianfei said that there was a press conference at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and many entertainment reporters even came in the morning.

The reporters worked so hard, but they were just trying to get the news first. The news that Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong are getting married is too fierce. One is a newly rising movie tycoon in Hong Kong, and the other is the daughter of a gambling king's family in Macau. social edition.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the guards of the film and television city finally allowed the reporters to enter, and the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed in. They squatted for a long time in the morning, neither met Guan Zhilin nor blocked Li Jiaxin's car, and they didn't find any breaking news.

More than 50 reporters came to the press conference this time, which shows that Kang Jianfei still has a lot of face. It is not bad for ordinary directors and celebrities to have 20 or 30 reporters in a press conference.

in a large conference room. The reporters were sitting in a tight group. Photographers and videographers scrambled for the best spots in the aisles. The main purpose of everyone coming to the press conference today is not about Kang Jianfei's new film. Although the remake of "Notes on the Tomb" has indeed attracted much attention, it is still not enough to watch compared to the marriage between Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong.

As time passed, the reporters drank tea and waited while chatting.

At 2:50 in the afternoon, Kang Jianfei finally brought people in. Originally, everyone didn't take the new film seriously, so they were preparing for the beginning of the free questioning session. He directly asked about Kang Jianfei's marriage, but the lineup that Kang Jianfei brought stunned the reporter.

"The Tomb Raiders" is such a popular novel, after learning that Kang Jianfei was going to make a movie. Many fans are speculating about who will play the main characters in the novel. Among them, Hong Jinbao's voice for playing Fatty Wang is the most popular. Whoever calls the Fatty in Hong Kong is the most famous.

But the main creative lineup brought by Kang Jianfei is too strange. When six or seven people came, the reporter recognized Wu Zhenyu and Zeng Jiang, Cheng Kuian and Dong Wei. Who is that tall and pretty girl left? Is it the heroine? And that fat man, wouldn't it be Fatty Wang in the novel, why didn't he have any impression of him?

After Kang Jianfei sat down, there were still a few minutes before the press conference started. He said directly: "I know you may not be able to wait, so let's start directly. Today's press conference will be hosted by me personally. First of all, I will introduce the people around me. Everyone should know Wu Zhenyu, Zeng Jiang, Dong Wei and Cheng Kui'an. They play Wu Xie, Sanshu, Pan Zi and A Kui respectively in the film. As for the beautiful girl next to me, Zhang Dan. She is "Notes on Tomb Robbers" Zhang Qiling, the heroine, and Lin Xue as Fatty Wang..."

There was a lot of noise in the reporter booth. Although they had a premonition, they were still surprised when they heard Kang Jianfei say that two newcomers would play the heroine and the second male lead.

There are a lot of guesses about the actresses who play the heroine. Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuixian, Guan Zhilin, and even Qiu Shuzhen and Li Jiaxin are among the backup heroines that everyone thinks.

What does it mean that Kang Jianfei invites a new person to be the heroine?

He's really not afraid of the movie hitting the street.

After becoming the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film, Zhang Dan's temperament seems to have changed in the eyes of these reporters. Only then did everyone seriously look at this rookie actor, and found that Zhang Yan was actually a beautiful woman. Although she was not as charming and charming as other actresses, she had a unique cold and glamorous temperament.

Although beauties are beauties, there are many beauties in Hong Kong, and only a few can become big stars. Why did Kang Jianfei choose Zhang Yan to play the heroine? Could it be Kang Jianfei's new lover again!

The reporters were not too excited when they thought of this. If it is another celebrity, if someone finds out that there is an underground affair, the reporters will have a surprise of digging up the material. But the same thing happened to Kang Jianfei. Maybe there were too many actresses who had scandals with him, and the reporters were numb.

Kang Jianfei has more lice than itching. Readers see his scandals twice every three days, and they are also a little tired of aesthetics, and gradually they are no longer interested in who he is dating again.

Hong Kong is not the mainland, and there is no rigid requirement for actors to be both virtuous and artistic. Unless they do something that provokes public anger, it is really nothing to make a few scandals.

Kang Jianfei is not an actor or singer who relies on his face to eat. His reputation may be affected by a few boats, but as long as the film is good, the audience will still pay for it to go to the theater. And the actresses who have scandals with Kang Jianfei have not suffered much loss of reputation, but sometimes they will be paid special attention by the media because of this. Li Jiaxin became a mess last year because of this hype.

What really hurt Kang Jianfei was that He Chaoqiong's mother broke the news to reporters about getting married. The married man is not the fifth diamond king. After hearing the news, so many lovers are not jealous. coax.

If in the end any woman is determined to leave him because of this, Kang Jianfei can only let it go. Anyway, there is never a shortage of women around him.

"I want to emphasize here that "Tomb Notes" will be a special effects blockbuster. I specially invited Mr. Stan Winston, who did special effects for "The Terminator", who is sitting on my farthest right." Kang Jianfei raised a finger, "The budget for this movie is temporarily set at 100 million Hong Kong dollars. 100 million Hong Kong dollars is just a conservative estimate. As long as the film can be made well, the budget will not be capped!"

"100 million Hong Kong dollars, can you get it back at the box office?"

"The cost of the two "Shu Mountain" is only about 50 million yuan. What will the film of 100 million look like?"

"A blockbuster costing 100 million yuan, to actually invite a newcomer to be the heroine, Kang Jianfei is courageous enough."

"..."

The reporters who didn't take Kang Jianfei's new film seriously are now completely shocked, and even the marriage of Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong has been temporarily forgotten by them.

In Hong Kong, where the average budget of film critics is less than 10 million, Kang Jianfei suddenly announced that he would make a film with a cost of 100 million, and he also said that there would be no cap on investment, and it would be strange not to scare people to death.

In fact, it's not that Kang Jianfei is too advanced, but that everyone's thinking has not been converted. At this time, the Hong Kong film market is already large enough, and there is no need to worry about the difficulty of recovering the cost of large investment like a few years ago.

In another time and space, Cheng Long will shoot the "Flying Eagle Project" with an investment of over 100 million next year. Isn't he making a lot of money?

Not to mention anything else, which of the films Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai invested in Hollywood over the past few years cost less than 100 million yuan after converting them into Hong Kong dollars?

Kang Jianfei takes advantage of the star's salary. Wu Zhenyu, the highest paid in the main creative lineup, only took 900,000 yuan. Zeng Jiang, Dong Wei, Cheng Kui'an and Lin Xue's total salary is less than 1 million. Although Zhang Dan played the heroine, as a rookie actor, Kang Jianfei paid her 200,000 yuan, which is already very generous.

Judging from the cost of actors' remuneration, "Notes on the Tomb" can only be regarded as a small and medium cost, and the rest of the money is used for production. Kang Jianfei has great expectations for this movie. He wants to enter the Western market again through "Notes on the Tomb", and by the way, he will drive Hong Kong special effects movies and adventure themes, so he must strive for excellence.

Kang Jianfei believes that the most appropriate situation is that most of the funds of a film are used for the film production itself, and a small part is used for artificial remuneration.

But the further the year is pushed back, whether in Europe, America or Asia, the salary of celebrities all over the world is skyrocketing. To what extent is the other time-space port film deformed? For a movie with a cost of 20 million, it is possible that 15 million is used to pay the stars, and the remaining 5 million is used for shooting. The films made in this way are bound to be shoddy, and only rely on the faces of the stars to attract the audience, which will inevitably arouse the disgust of the audience over time~lightnovelpub.net~ When encountering a well-made Hollywood blockbuster, it is strange not to be killed.

"Okay, everyone is free to ask questions now." Kang Jianfei was very satisfied with the reporters' response, and this is what he wanted.

The next reporter's questions really were related to the movie. The first one asked: "Director Kang, a blockbuster costing 100 million yuan, why don't you choose a few popular stars to shoot?"

Kang Jianfei pretended to smile and said, "I choose actors only for their suitability, not for their reputation."

"Excuse me, has Miss Zhang Dan made any movies before?" Another reporter was obviously more interested in the sudden appearance of Zhang Dan.

It was the first time that Zhang Dan appeared on this kind of occasion, and she was inevitably a little nervous. Kang Jianfei helped her to answer: "Amin was a student of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and played several roles and advertisements. I accidentally found her in an advertisement. of."

In the following time, the topics of the reporter's questions were all centered on the new film "Notes on Tomb Robbers". Occasionally, someone asked about the scandal, which was also deliberately ignored by Kang Jianfei. Anyway, his purpose today is to divert the topic of public opinion. (To be continued. (lw0.))()
