Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Three hundred and eighty-eight [Great Ha

When Kang Jianfei took the crew to Italy, the British Hong Kong government finally implemented coercive measures in the face of the crazy devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar: the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar were linked to the exchange rate, and the constant exchange rate of 1 US dollar was 7.8 Hong Kong dollars. [;Starting]

Just 20 days ago, the exchange rate when Kang Jianfei bought Hong Kong dollars was between 9.3 and 9.6. Now the linked exchange rate between the US dollar and Hong Kong dollar is set at 7.8, which directly made Kang Jianfei more than 158 million Hong Kong dollars.

When Kang Jianfei heard the news in Italy, he was overjoyed and started filming with a happy mood.

At the same time, it was released in Taiwan and Japan one after another, continuing the trend of the film sweeping the Asian box office.

The main partner of DreamWorks in Taiwan is Longxiang Pictures, which has inherited the distribution channel of the previous Golden Princess. After Princess Jin got in touch with Nanyang Cathay Pacific Cinemas, Cathay Pacific hooked up with Taiwan Longxiang, and initially established a joint distribution network of Hong Kong (Golden Princess Cinemas), Taiwan (Chinese Cinemas), and Nanyang (Cathay Cinemas). .

After breaking up with Princess Jin, DreamWorks completely bypassed Princess Jin and directly cooperated with Longxiang Films and Cathay Films. That is to say, now Art City and DreamWorks are using the same two distribution channels in Taiwan and Nanyang, and there is a fierce competition between them.

There are countless filmmakers and theater chains in Taiwan, but most of them are concentrated in the Taipei area, and the competition between them is also very fierce.

Not long ago, one of the eight major filmmakers in Taiwan, the newly emerging Taiwan Scholars Film Distribution Company came to the door, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with Princess Jin.

Scholar Company is a new company established a few years ago. The first pot of gold was purchased by Xu Anhua. It sold well at the box office in Taiwan and emerged.

In the past two years, other shareholders have withdrawn one after another, and the scholar company has been completely controlled by the major shareholder Cai Songlin, and its development pace has been extremely rapid. Scholars were not able to cooperate with DreamWorks before because they were not qualified at all. After all, the new company has limited film rights in Taiwan.

However, now that Scholar has obtained the filming rights of the two theaters "Golden Horse" and "Big World" in Taiwan, it naturally hopes to release DreamWorks films, because DreamWorks films have sold the best in Taiwan in recent years.

As a result, Kang Jianfei made a final decision. Let the distribution department of DreamWorks do a shameless thing: sell one product to two owners.

The distribution network of scholars can greatly make up for the shortcomings of Longxiang Films. If the two distribution companies discuss the plan and release at the same time, it will greatly tap the box office potential of the released films.

Why was it released in Taiwan for several months like the previous one? It is because the distribution network is not sound. In the next three months, other theaters watched the film sell well, and then successively purchased the second round, third round, and even the fourth round of screening rights and then arranged the film.

DreamWorks' behavior of selling one product to two owners made both Scholars and Longxiang extremely unhappy. But they had to sit down and work together. Because in the eyes of filmmakers in Hong Kong, a company like DreamWorks that can continuously produce high-box-office movies is already a grandfather-level existence. Can't be blamed at all.

So this time it was released in Taiwan. The number of theaters for its first round of screenings reached its peak, and it was selected to premiere in Taiwan on the "Double Tenth National Day".

Due to the adequate publicity and distribution work, the box office in Taiwan was as high as NT$4.37 million on the first day, which aroused the amazement of the Taiwanese film industry and also set off a whirlwind of gambling gods in Taiwan.

The box office on the first day was 4.37 million Taiwan dollars. Wouldn’t it be worth tens of millions after the screening for a month or two? You must know that few movies released in Taiwan in the past few years have broken the box office of 10 million.

Such a terrifying first-day box office can only explain three things: 1. The film is very popular with audiences; three, with the rapid development of Taiwan's economy, the Taiwanese film market has boomed rapidly.

Just like the mainland movie market in the future, in the first few years after 2000, a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan was a blockbuster or a masterpiece, and Hollywood film companies did not pay much attention to the mainland's multi-million dollar box office market. But after 2010, the mainland's box office market has exploded like a volcanic eruption. Last year, when a certain movie received 3.5 billion box office, the media was still amazed. A movie with a box office of more than one billion!

In fact, among the top ten films in Taiwan last year, eight of them grossed less than NT$20 million. In October this year, five films have already grossed more than 30 million at the box office. Among them, the box office has reached more than 67 million in Taiwan for three consecutive months. The box office data alone is more than the top three films on Taiwan's annual box office list combined last year.

And the most ironic thing is that Taiwan's first film with a box office of over 100 million was released after martial law was lifted. This is a movie shot in the Forbidden City, and it has not passed the political censorship of the Taiwan Electricity Inspection Bureau.

With the prosperity of Taiwan's film market, Hong Kong's filmmakers will definitely pay more and more attention to the Taiwan market, which makes Kang Jianfei, who is being targeted by the Taiwan News Bureau, quite painful.

After three consecutive months of screening and several rounds of screening, the cumulative box office in Taiwan was 53.87 million Taiwan dollars, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars.

More than 10 million, second only to the box office.

While it is brilliant in Hong Kong, the box office in Taiwan is less than 20 million Taiwan dollars. This is not to say that Taiwanese audiences do not like it very much. The biggest problem is probably the relationship between distribution and promotion. More than three times the number, and it is also a joint cooperation between two major Taiwanese distribution companies.

Before the hot sale in Taiwan, the cumulative box office in the Nanyang region has reached more than 62 million Hong Kong dollars, and with the box office of more than 33 million in Hong Kong, the cumulative box office has been close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Japan and South Korea, although the box office was not as good as Cheng Long's film, it still achieved good results and accumulated a lot of fans for Zhou Runfa in both countries.

In the end, the total box office in Asia was as much as 120 million, which made countless Hong Kong industry peers jealous, and also made gambling films popular in the following ten years.

Contrary to the good box office of the movie, this year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is completely without DreamWorks' share. All DreamWorks films were shot by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee. As for the reasons for the shooting, there are many strange reasons.

Perhaps this is a warning to Kang Jianfei from the Taiwan Information Bureau.

...

In the large conference room of Phoenix TV, Zhong Jinghui smiled and put down the microphone. To the dozens of reporters below, he said, "Friends from the journalists, you are free to ask questions now."

A female reporter spoke first: "Manager Zhong, many viewers are looking forward to the sequel. Does Phoenix TV have any plans in this regard?"

"Of course there will be a sequel." Zhong Jinghui smiled, "If you watch TV carefully, you should know that DreamWorks will continue to shoot other koan cases. In fact, from the initial planning of this film, it has been decided to It's filmed as a series."

Another reporter asked: "Are all the cast members the same?"

Jin Chaoqun next to Zhong Jinghui said, "I have signed five film contracts with DreamWorks, so it will be at least two or three years. The actors of Mr. Bao should not be replaced."

The reporter asked bluntly: "Mr. Jin Chaoqun is from Taiwan. I heard that you have been playing tricks in Taiwan before, but now you are a hit in Hong Kong. What do you want to say?"

Jin Chaoqun smiled and said, "What I want to say is that if I didn't have the experience accumulated over the years in Taiwan, I would not have the capital to be a hit in Hong Kong."

This answer was outstanding, and Zhong Jinghui, Xu Xiaoming and others took the lead in applauding.

Jin Chaoqun added: "In addition, I would also like to thank Kang Jianfei and Mr. Yu Kanping very much. They discovered me and invited me to Hong Kong to film. In addition, I would also like to thank the producer Xu Xiaoming, manager Zhong Jinghui, and others. Some colleagues, they are very serious and professional, they have given me a lot of help, and they have also taught me a lot of useful things."

The press conference is still going on, and the reason why Phoenix TV and DreamWorks TV production department held a press conference is because many viewers felt unsatisfied after the finale and strongly demanded to shoot a sequel.

Just a few days ago, the first part of the film also ushered in the finale, and the highest ratings of the night reached 69.4%. Not only did they kill TVB's Liu Dehua and Chen Yulian's version of the film, but also made the major cinemas that night cluttered, and made a lot of film companies suffer.

Even dedicated a 6-page layout for a special report. And the novels in bookstores, which were originally put in the corners and covered with dust, have actually sold a lot more recently.

Finally a lot less stress. Just when Fang Yihua thought that he could slow down, Wan Ziying, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Mao Shunyun, Tian Niu and others starred closely behind and started broadcasting, and the audience rating of the first episode was as high as 42%.

This rating result is largely due to its success, which has made many viewers habitually watch Phoenix TV from time to time.

However, the ratings in the following days did not drop, but stabilized with a slight increase, which shows that it has been recognized and loved by the audience.

In fact, many of the performance details are different from the original version. Because Kang Jianfei only wrote the script for the first episode, the nonsense comedy scenes that followed were all negotiated by Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Mao Shunyun and Li Lichi.

I have to say that Kang Jianfei and Fenghuangtai have good luck. Hong Kong citizens have just experienced the devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar and social chaos. Many people are holding back their dissatisfaction and have nowhere to vent.

The various crazy and spoofed nonsense plots~lightnovelpub.net~ just catered to the anti-authority and desire to vent in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens, and it became popular like a virus infection. It often happens that the whole family sits in front of the TV watching the neurotic collective burst into laughter.

Such boring plots as Zhou Xingchi's treat in the play and actually inviting Mao Shunyun to eat ice cream were all imitated by young people in Hong Kong.

"Hey, pretty girl, I'll treat you to Bigfoot Ice Cream!"

This sentence has become the most frequently used conversation language in recent times.

The acting skills of Wan Ziying and Tian Niu in the play are obvious to all, but the most popular are Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda and Mao Shunyun. Their nonsensical pranks are really impressive.

The term "nonsensical" has also been officially accepted by the media and citizens of Hong Kong.

As for the wireless station, I heard that Fang Yihua has made fire several times, and I don't know how she will find a way to pull it back.
