Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Ninety-Seven [Premiere]

When Xu Ke and his girlfriend Shi Nansheng walked into the Golden Princess Cinema, many people came to the cinema. [;First appearance] The last time they went to the cinema, they bought the tickets themselves, but this time, Kang Jianfei sent an invitation directly.

In addition to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, Kang Jianfei also invited more than ten new wave directors such as Xu Anhua, Tan Jiaming, Yan Hao, Fang Yuping, Zhang Guoming and Yu Yunhang.

The so-called New Wave Movement of Hong Kong Films is a trend that suddenly set off in Hong Kong films in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A group of young directors who returned from Europe and the United States, after several years of running-in in local TV stations in Hong Kong, suddenly broke out collectively. They combined the advanced film experience they learned from abroad with the local culture of Hong Kong, and produced a large number of different films. New Hong Kong film.

This wave of films directly affected the development and evolution of Hong Kong films in the next 20 years.

These people, including Xu Ke, are very popular now, and they are also praised by the circle. However, most of the films they make have a common feature, that is, they are not well received, so few bosses are willing to invest in making films for them.

The reporters also quickly discovered that there was actually a small segment of seats in the theater, all of which were New Wave directors, and they took pictures of them one after another.

“Old Xu, I heard that you are very familiar with Kang Jianfei. What did this guy invite all of us here?” Fang Yuping asked Xu Ke, who was sitting next to him. This guy used to be a photographer at Jiashi, and he just asked Shaw Brothers to invest in the filming. He also invited Zheng Shaoqiu to play the leading role, and the box office was barely passable.

Xu Ke said speechlessly, “Why do you all think I’m very familiar with Kang Jianfei? I’ll make a cameo appearance for him in a movie, okay?”

Yan Hao smiled and said, “It’s better than us.”

Yu Yunhangdao: “Actually, his film also has a bit of a new wave flavor, which is very different from the shooting methods of old Hong Kong films.”

Zhang Guoming said: “I am very interested in Kang Jianfei’s growth experience. A young man who swam from the mainland, I heard that he was under 20 years old, he was writing and filming, and he even opened a film company by himself. It’s as if you were born with so many things.”

Xu Anhua smiled and said, “There is a thing called talent.”

Shi Nansheng suddenly interjected: “I would like to see the real kung fu he performs later.”

Yu Yunhang said disdainfully: “Where is the real kung fu? It’s just some fighting boxing skills. It’s touted by the newspapers as if it can kill people from the air.”

Shi Nansheng smiled and said, “I don’t know about killing people in the air, but it’s true that Kang Jianfei killed two robbers with his kung fu in the street.”

Yu Yunhang pouted and didn’t answer any further.

More than a thousand spectators who bought high-priced tickets entered the venue one after another. The reporters were surprised to find that all the tickets for the premiere, with a maximum of 50 yuan and a minimum of 30 yuan, were all sold out, and the audience was full.

After such a premiere, the revenue from ticket sales alone is 50,000 yuan! And the cost of the premiere is not at least 200,000 as Li Maowen conjectured. Because of more than 200 media, Kang Jianfei invited almost all of them for free. Before the movie was released, he did not invite any other stars, and all employees of Oriental DreamWorks performed by themselves.

The premiere’s biggest expense. It is the more than 3,000 yuan venue fee for renting the theater…

Hong Jinbao took Lin Zhengying and others to their seats. I saw more than 200 media reporters ahead. His heart suddenly became hot, and he said to Yuan Biao, “We also have a premiere!”

Yuan Biao nodded quickly, he never thought that a movie would be released. More than 200 reporters were able to gather to participate. Not to mention anything else, such a spectacular scene, tomorrow’s newspapers will definitely report it, as long as the filming is not too bad, there will definitely be a lot of people watching the movie.

The filming was very slow, because this is a fantasy kung fu film, which is somewhat different from Hong Jinbao’s previous kung fu films. Moreover, the plot has also been carefully thought out and conceived, and Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua have filmed with Kang Jianfei. It is far more refined than in parallel time and space, and the shooting time is greatly increased.

According to the current progress, it will take at least late July to complete the production, but it can still catch up with the tail of the summer season.

When the premiere time came, the lights below suddenly dimmed. A beam of light led a bulging beauty to the stage, but it was Pan Yingzi in a high-slit cheongsam.

In order to save money, Kang Jianfei didn’t even bother to invite the master of ceremonies, so he let Pan Yingzi go into battle.

After Pan Yingzi took the stage, she bowed down, took the microphone and said, “My friends at the sensibility scene, I’m here to attend the premiere… Immortal Yu Yuanwen brings you a wonderful lion dance performance!”

Pan Yingzi disappeared with the lights, while the “gods and drums” played a lion dance with her partner Ye Tao.

I have to admit that Yu Yuanwen’s lion dance skills are truly outstanding. Liu Jialiang’s Liu Jiaban is good at lion dance, and almost everyone can dance a few times. But in the parallel space, Liu Jialiang had to re-enable Yu Yuanwen after he kept Yu Yuanwen in the snow for a year, because he needed a lion dancer to make a movie, which shows how superb his lion dance level is.

Under the control of Yu Yuanwen, a lion seemed to come to life. Not only could it run and roll like other lion dances, but it even had vivid expressions such as joy, anger, sadness and music, which attracted applause from the audience below.

After the lion dance was over, it was suddenly a martial arts performance.

However, this performance is not ordinary. One of Kang’s family’s dragon and tiger martial artist suddenly flew down from the air, and the other jumped more than ten feet high. The two of them actually fought swords in the air, and they fought happily!

The Weiya techniques that the martial artists of Kang’s family have just mastered amazed the audience.

Hong Jinbao, who was watching the show below, was speechless and said to Yuan Biao in a low voice, “Kang Jianfei is really useless, he’s doing a movie premiere, and he’s also advertising for his Kang family class!”

Yuan Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Hong Jinbao meant.

Martial arts classes are not for nothing. In addition to making movies by themselves, they have to go out to pick up jobs in their spare time to survive. The better the martial artist’s ability, the more crews will invite them to make movies, and the more prosperous the martial arts class will be.

The Kangjiaban has just been created, and it is naturally not as famous as the established Fanjiaban, Liujiaban, Hongjiaban, Yuanjiaban, or even the Married Family Class, which was just created last year.

How to get famous? The first is that Kang Jiaban’s films are selling well, and the second is that they are doing publicity.

Kang Jianfei asked Kang Jiaban’s martial artists to perform at the premiere. First, he saved a lot of costs for hiring other stars. Second, he made on-site publicity for Kang Jiaban in front of more than 200 media and many directors. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Presumably after tonight, when some independent directors and small companies make action movies, Kang Jiaban will also become an important object of their choice.

Hong Jinbao’s voice was very low, but Lin Zhengying next to him could hear it clearly, and his face was a little feverish. Because Kang Jianfei, the Kang family class, was formed by Huang Shrimp who was in charge of pulling people, and Huang Shrimp was recommended to Kang Jianfei by him, Lin Zhengying felt that his move was a bit inauthentic.

After the performances of the martial artists, Pan Yingzi’s guest host called all the main creators of the crew to the stage, and Lin Zhengying and Yuan Hua also had to get up on stage.

In the audience below the stage, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia were sitting next to Zhao Yazhi. When Pan Yingzi invited the main creator to come on stage, Li Saifeng immediately ran up happily, leaving Wen Bixia to sit there, both jealous and envious.

Zhao Yazhi touched Wen Bixia’s head and comforted like a little sister: “Next time, let your brother A Fei make a movie for you, and then arrange a more intense premiere for you.”

“That’s so difficult.” Wen Bixia sighed, she felt that she was not as beautiful as Li Saifeng, not even singing or acting, not to mention that Li Saifeng was still learning kung fu with Kang Jianfei. In order not to be thrown too far, Wen Bixia has been learning to sing very hard these days, but unfortunately her progress is still slower than Li Saifeng. Really more popular than dead people ah!

Not far from Zhao Yazhi was sitting Zhong Chuhong. She was bored sitting there alone. Seeing Li Saifeng came to the stage, she quickly changed seats and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi.

Zhong Chuhong has a very cheerful and generous personality. She doesn’t care about those she doesn’t like, and she will take the initiative to say hello to those she finds pleasing to the eye. Zhong Chuhong especially liked Zhao Yazhi’s performance, so he sat down and greeted familiarly, “Hello, Miss Zhao, my name is Zhong Chuhong!”

Zhao Yazhi immediately recognized Zhong Chuhong and said with a smile, “I know you. You were the fourth Miss Hong Kong last year, and I was also the fourth Miss Hong Kong.”

When the two Hong Kong sisters communicated for the first time, Pan Yingzi on the stage had already chatted with the main creative staff, and broke out many interesting events during the shooting, which added a lot of material to the reports of the reporters present tomorrow.

After the chat, Pan Yingzi suddenly said to Kang Jianfei: “Director, I remember that you seem to have promised to perform your real kung fu at the premiere.” After speaking, Pan Yingzi suddenly asked the audience, “What do you think? I don’t want to see Director Kang’s real work!”

Many of the spectators who bought tickets at the scene came for Kang Jianfei’s real kung fu. At this moment, one after another roaring and shouting broke out immediately.

Kang Jianfei stood up from his chair and said very forcefully, “I already said in the newspaper that once my kung fu is shot, I will be killed or injured, and there is no way to talk about competition or performance.” As he spoke, Kang Jianfei changed his tone, “Well, I can show everyone a little trick. Ah Feng, stand over!”

“Yes, Master!” Li Saifeng heard the words and stood five meters away.

Pan Yingzi narrated: “Li Saifeng’s little sister is learning kung fu with Director Kang, and is his first apprentice.”

Before the audience could guess what Kang Jianfei was going to perform, they saw that Chen You took an apple and put it on top of Li Saifeng’s head, and then ran away quickly.

Kang Jianfei took out a fruit knife, without doing any fancy movements, only to see the shadow of the knife flashed, the fruit knife had been inserted into the apple on top of Li Saifeng’s head five meters away, and the apple simply fell to the ground.

“Wow!”

The audience was shocked, and countless people stood up in exclamation.

The reporters were inexplicably excited one by one, thinking that only Kang Jianfei’s flying knife would make their trip worthwhile.
