Pan Yingzi Zeng Zhiwei was not honest, and Kang Jianfei was not surprised at all.
In another time and space, Zeng Zhiwei was originally working in the Liu Family Class; after Hong Jinbao's Hong Family Class was established, he immediately changed jobs to join Hong Family Class to help Jiahe; after the establishment of Xinyi City, he cooperated with Xinyi City, and finally joined Xinyi City and became one of the seven monsters in Xinyi City; after the internal dispute between Xinyi City, Zeng Zhiwei took the lead in running back to Jiahe, and also pulled Mecca out to help Jiahe film "Best Good Star".
When he returned to Jiahe again, Zeng Zhiwei was already a big star director, producer and actor in the Hong Kong film industry. Later, he helped him film anyway, and traveled around major film companies.
The most important thing is that Zeng Zhiwei has been resigning so many times, but no one has offended him. He is as slippery as a loach.
After returning to Hong Kong for a while, Kang Jianfei buried his head in the post-production of "The Royal Sister". He had just stared at the editor and finished cutting the film, when Pan Yingzi suddenly came to the door with her.
On that day, Kang Jianfei was with Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng looked at the cut films. Pan Yingzi took her into the screening room and sat next to Kang Jianfei: "A Fei, bring you someone."
"Who needs Sister A Zi, you bring it yourself?" Kang Jianfei joked, turning to look at the man behind Pan Yingzi.
This man looks in his 20s, wearing a black wool sweater, with messy hair and ordinary appearance. He can't tell anything special when placed on the street.
Pan Yingzi said: "His name is Gao Zhisen. He used to be a screenwriter of Lishi. A few days ago, he came to the company with a drama to join Oriental Dream Factory as a director. I saw his dramas well. I planned to let him become a screenwriter in the company, but he was bothering me every day these days. If this drama could be filmed, he hoped to be the deputy director of this drama."
Who is Gao Zhisen?
The real director and screenwriter of "Happy Ghost". The "Happy Ghost" released at the beginning of the year is the plagiarized work of Gao Zhisen.
Now the main person has come to the door and is still holding a drama to be a director.
When the projectionist saw Kang Jianfei talking about the important matter, he stopped the movie. He ran to turn on the lights in the room, and Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng also watched Kang Jianfei's drama together.
Kang Jianfei opened the drama, and the six big words "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" were eye-catching.
Before Kang Jianfei could watch the drama, Gao Zhisen couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Kang, I have liked this movie very much since I watched "Happy Ghost". Later, many people followed the trend to shoot comedy ghost movies, and I think they didn't grasp the key points. The success of "Happy Ghost" is not in the ghost movies, but in the campus comedy. "Happy Ghost" has been released almost a year, and DreamWorks has not made a similar movie sequel. I think it's a pity. So I wrote the sequel to "Happy Ghost" without my consent..."
Kang Jianfei turned on the right path of the play: "Continue."
Gao Zhisen saw Kang Jianfei listening carefully. He said: "The Happy Ghost Summer Vacation tells the story of the Happy Ghost Zhu Xiucai in the first part, and his name is Kang Xingui. Kang Xingui has special abilities since childhood. He often troubled this. Later, Kang Xingui entered the girls' school and became a teacher..."
The plot of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" written by Gao Zhisen is similar to the one in Kang Jianfei's memory, only in some places. After listening, he asked directly: "Gao Zhisen, right? If I asked you to be the director of this movie, how much budget would you use?"
Kang Jianfei's words already revealed the meaning of letting Gao Zhisen be the director. While Gao Zhisen was ecstatic, he felt a little worried, because when Kang Jianfei filmed "Happy Ghost", he had less than 500,000 yuan.
With an investment of less than 500,000 yuan, the box office alone exceeded 10 million. In addition, the box office in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, the return on investment of this movie is nearly 40 times. This is almost everyone in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is regarded as the goal of striving and pursuing by countless film companies that specialize in filming and small productions.
But Gao Zhisen couldn't guarantee that he could exchange hundreds of thousands of dollars for dozens of times the profit. He hesitated for a moment and tried to suppress the profit: "I need a budget of 600,000."
Kang Jianfei said: "I will give you a budget of 800,000 yuan. The crew has ready-made ones. Chen Mingsheng will serve as an assistant director and art director for you. What do you think?"
"Let me be the director? Kang... Is Mr. Kang real?" Gao Zhisen felt that something was wrong with his ears. According to his ideas, it would be good to be able to join the director team this time. Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei directly asked him to be the director.
Not only Gao Zhisen, but also Pan Yingzi, who came with Gao Zhisen, was surprised. I don’t know why Kang Jianfei made the decision so hasty.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You heard it right. Your drama is well written. I believe you have put your heart into this drama. Chen Mingsheng came from Taiwan. He was in his teens and was knowledgeable all over the world. When filming, you should listen to his opinions and make some novel jokes. Don't always play in my first "Happy Ghost". There are only a few moves to change the sports meet to swimming competitions and volleyball competitions. Is this fun? The audience will be insincere."
Gao Zhisen said ashamed: "Mr. Kang, I will carefully modify the funny plot. Don't worry, I will discuss it with that Chen...Mr. Chen during the shooting."
Kang Jianfei pointed to Chen Mingsheng next to him and said to Gao Zhisen: "He is Chen Mingsheng, our first art director at Oriental Dream Factory."
Gao Zhisen quickly held Chen Mingsheng and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Xunqi again: "This is Mr. Chen Xunqi. I should ask him more about the soundtrack of the film. In addition, I will personally write a few interludes for you."
"That's great." Gao Zhisen heard Kang Jianfei wanted to help write a song, and hurriedly thanked him and said good words to Chen Xunqi.
Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi: "I probably haven't had time during this period. You can make the producer of this drama."
Pan Yingzi nodded and said, "Okay, when will your "Senior Sister Royal" be released?"
"The screening will be released on Christmas Eve on the 24th, and a premiere will be held on the 21st. You don't need to be careful about this, he will arrange it for Maqiao." Kang Jianfei.
"The Royal Senior Sister" has not even finished the later episode, and Kang Jianfei directly released the movie's release period, which made Gao Zhisen on the side look straight.
If it were another young director, he wouldn't finish the work later. Even if he was holding a full film and begging his father to complain to him, it would be very likely that he would not be released.
Gao Zhisen knows very well about Kang Jianfei's deeds and knows that Kang Jianfei also used samples of "Happy Ghost" to look for cinemas everywhere, and was even insulted by Jiahe people. It's only a year now, Kang Jianfei's movie can be released on a release period before the production is completed.
Idol!
Gao Zhisen looked at Kang Jianfei admiringly, thinking that his new boss was too strong. He whispered: "Mr. Kang, if you have important things to do, then I will be here."
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Okay, after you come back, we will discuss the preparations for this movie with Vice President Pan first."
Pan Yingzi: "Then we'll leave first."
Kang Jianfei waved: "Goodbye!"
After Pan Yingzi and Gao Zhisen left, Chen Xunqi asked: "This kid was just a TV screenwriter before, can he be a director?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You have never been a director before, and you have filmed "The Wrong Car"."
Chen Xunqi said: "I'm different. I was on the set at the age of 15, and I have been with you in the director team of "Mr. Zombies."
Kang Jianfei said: "You and Mingsheng are the only way to hold the fire for him."
Chen Mingsheng smiled and said, "I have no experience in being a director."

…………
Just when Kang Jianfei was doing the late stage for "The Royal Sister", New Art City's "Chasing Girls" was released in 12 theaters under the Golden Princess Theater.
The heroine of this movie was replaced by Zhong Chuhong, which was recommended by Zeng Zhiwei. As for the original heroine actor Liu Lanxi in another time and space, she was still singing and making movies in Taiwan at this time, and it would take two or three months to come to Hong Kong to develop.
The second female lead Zhang Tianai has not changed. This woman has been back from abroad for a year and is very popular, attracting a lot of viewers for "Chasing Girls".
At the beginning of the movie's release, the box office was average, but in less than a week, some theaters were full.
Whether it was the three bosses of New Art City or Lei Juekun, they were very excited after hearing this news, and quickly added two theaters to "Chasing Girls".
As I have passed before, Hong Kong films are entering a mature stage at this time, and they are a transitional period. Many films have the disadvantages of old movies.
But this "Chasing Girls" is already a relatively mature work in terms of shooting methods and plot lines. Even in the 1990s and 21st century, Wang Jing and Fatty Wang were still stir-frying up the cold rice again and again, filming the "Jing Pretend to Chasing Girls" series to make money.
In less than a week, the box office of "Chasing Girls" in New Art City exceeded 3 million, and the cumulative box office in half a month reached more than 5.8 million.
Lei Juekun, Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming and others were extremely excited. This is the highest-grossing movie among the movies released in the theaters of Princess Jin this year, except for "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie".
Until December 20, the cumulative box office of "Chasing Girls" had reached 7.7 million, and the second round of screenings were started. Based on the current situation, the final box office of "Chasing Girls" in Hong Kong is likely to be around 9 million.
The movie "Chasing Girls" has brought the male protagonist Shi Tian to a higher level. The heroine Zhong Chuhong has become a little famous in "Three Minutes Hero". This time she is as famous as Zeng Zhiwei, and her film pay has reached 100,000 yuan.
As for the production company of "Chasing Girls", New Art City, and its director Mecca, it also showed off.
Chapter completed!
