036 [Recruiting talents]

Zhong Zhiwen is very handsome, but unfortunately his face is a little longer, which destroys the overall beauty. To put it bluntly, he has a legendary horse face.

When Kang Jianfei was looking at Zhong Zhiwen, Zhong Zhiwen was also observing him. The two of them looked at each other and then Zhong Zhiwen stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang!"

"Hello!" Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded at him.

The reason why Kang Jianfei remembers the character Zhong Zhiwen is not because he is the photographer of Zhou Xingxing's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but because this person was the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Photographers Association. As a famous photographer in the mainland in his previous life, Kang Jianfei naturally had some understanding of Hong Kong's ace photographers.

Zhong Zhiwen is still just a newcomer, and he is only in his early twenties. He has been working as an assistant photographer a few years ago. More than two months ago, he followed Xu Anhua to film "Crazy Job". This is the first time Zhong Zhiwen has been taking the film independently.

As the recommender, Zhao Yazhi smiled and said in a lively atmosphere: "Everyone is friends. Why do you two do so politely? Just sit down."

Kang Jianfei pushed the menu to Zhong Zhiwen and said, "Mr. Zhong, please order first."

Zhong Zhiwen was not polite, so he ordered two dishes casually, then turned to look at Zhao Yazhi. He wanted to know what the purpose of Zhao Yazhi's appointment to come out and see Kang Jianfei.

Zhao Yazhi didn't say it clearly, but only introduced that Kang Jianfei was the author of "The Legend of Qin". Everyone made an appointment to make friends to have dinner.

The three of them started chatting and gradually talked about the movie. Kang Jianfei asked: "What do you think of the new Hong Kong movies in the present. Inspur movement?"

Zhong Zhiwen himself is the new movie. The supporter of Inspur movement. His first few movies as a photographer are all new. Inspur movies, Xu Ke, Xu Anhua and other new movies are also good friends. Kang Jianfei's words are the key.

Zhong Zhiwen was indeed aroused the topic. Anyway, there were no big names in the film company. He said bluntly: "Hong Kong movies have been developing for decades. The narrative model of the film is actually the same as in the 1930s. There are too many European and American movies that are already behind. I remember a Japanese director 20 years ago once said that Hong Kong movies would never surpass Japanese movies in 50 years. If Hong Kong filmmakers did not seek change, they would probably really respond to the Japanese director's prediction..."

Kang Jianfei agreed and said, "I think so too. Hong Kong movies have to change. I like the movie "Crazy Job" you shot. And I dare to predict that "Crazy Job" will have a huge impact on the creation of Hong Kong films in the next ten years, especially the types of supernatural, horror and detective films."

Zhong Zhiwen has never read "The Legend of Qin", but the newspapers have been hyping up this novel some time ago, so he still heard of Kang Jianfei and knew that this man was a mainland boy who had just swam across the sea.

Hearing Kang Jianfei highly praised "Crazy Job", Zhong Zhiwen said curiously: "Mr. Kang has also studied movies?"

Zhao Yazhi interrupted and helped Kang Jianfei flatter, "Awen, you don't know. I just finished filming the film "Shanghai Bund" and was A Fei's screenwriter, and he is also the assistant director of this TV series."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhong Zhiwen nodded, but still couldn't figure out what Zhao Yazhi and Kang Jianfei asked him to come out for. He was actually not familiar with Zhao Yazhi, so he met him when filming "Crazy Calamity". Neither of them had met alone before.

Kang Jianfei asked casually: "I don't know where Mr. Zhong is now?"

Zhong Zhiwen replied: "Make a living in Lishi, and occasionally come out to take on some work."

In fact, Kang Jianfei had already found out about Zhong Zhiwen's background. The current situation is a bit similar to that of his cousin. Although he is very skilled in photography, he can only serve as an assistant to other photographers. Wu Chenggang is an assistant to other lighting masters because he switched to the TV station. Zhong Zhiwen is not allowed to be used in Lishi because he has too little experience and can climb up after a few years.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Kang Jianfei threw out an olive branch and said, "I have a job here. I don't know if Mr. Zhong is willing to come and help."

Zhong Zhiwen didn't understand what Kang Jianfei meant and asked, "Is Mr. Kang helping make a movie?"

Kang Jianfei did not answer directly, but took out a notebook and put it on the table and pushed it over to Zhong Zhiwen, saying, "Mr. Zhong, can take a look at this first."

"Story Scene Script?" As soon as Zhong Zhiwen opened it, he immediately screamed in surprise.

It’s not that Zhong Zhiwen makes a fuss, but that Hong Kong directors are making movies now, and there are ninety-nine out of 100 without any scripts. So as soon as Kang Jianfei took out this thing, it immediately aroused Zhong Zhiwen’s interest and couldn’t wait to look.

The storyboard script of "Happy Ghost" was painted by Kang Jianfei. His paintings are like his characters, and they are all in the Brutalist style. Often one or two lines represent a person's body, and the head is drawn more carefully, but the effect of drawing is particularly weird and funny.

If it is decades later, someone will definitely sneer at Kang Jianfei's paintings: Isn't this a big fantasy? And the paintings are a bit out of shape, one word - a bad review!

However, Zhong Zhiwen was happy to see it. He wanted to laugh when he saw the expression on the storyboard script. After watching it for several minutes, he held back and forced his attention to the storyboard design.

Zhao Yazhi doesn't know photography, so when reading this storyboard script, he can only read it as a comic. But Zhong Zhiwen is different because he is also a photographer, and he can see something that Zhao Yazhi can't feel at a glance.

His peers have a common language. Kang Jianfei worked as a photographer for seven years in his previous life, and his photography philosophy and technology far exceed that of Zhong Zhiwen, who has just emerged.

After reading two pages, Zhong Zhiwen was shocked. Some of the lens designs on this script were very novel and clever, which he had never heard of. When he saw the sixth page, Zhong Zhiwen finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Kang, who drew this storyboard script? Can you recommend it for me? I want to visit the master in person."

"Hehe," Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but feel funny. After laughing, he pointed at Kang Jianfei and said, "This master is not someone else, he is far away from the sky and is close to him."

"Drawn by Mr. Kang?" Zhong Zhiwen's thinking was a little messy. He was unable to connect the words "Duzi" and "Novel Author" with the master photographer he imagined in his mind.

Kang Jianfei smiled modestly and said, "A little trick. When I was in Bao'an, an old man taught me how to draw cartoons. I learned it from my master."

Although the camera scene is somewhat similar to the comics, the difference is still very big. Zhong Zhiwen obviously doesn't believe Kang Jianfei's words, but he didn't ask too much. Anyway, these storyboard scripts cannot be fake, so he took the initiative to say: "Which director did this "Happy Ghost" film?"

Kang Jianfei calmly took out his business card from his pocket and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhong, now I will introduce myself solemnly. I am Kang Jianfei, the chairman and general manager of the "Oriental Dream Factory" film company, and is also the director, screenwriter and producer of this "Happy Ghost".

Zhong Zhiwen held the business card and his mind became less and less useful. After a long time, he stared at his glasses and asked, "Are you still a director?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You heard it right. I wonder if Mr. Zhong is willing to join the crew of "Happy Ghost"?"

If Kang Jianfei invited Zhong Zhiwen as soon as he arrived, Zhong Zhiwen would have a 80% chance of refusing politely. However, after being impacted by the storyboard script of "Happy Ghost", Zhong Zhiwen only considered it for a few seconds and nodded in agreement, not even mentioning the money.

Kang Jianfei did not invite Zhong Zhiwen to join his company because the relationship between the two has not reached that level yet, and Zhong Zhiwen is not clear about the future of Oriental Dream Factory, so it is a waste of time to say it.

Since the matter has been decided, the topic will be much easier. Zhong Zhiwen pointed at some shots in the storyboard script from time to time to ask, and Kang Jianfei also gave a little reservation. Half an hour later, Zhong Zhiwen was simply shocking to Kang Jianfei in the design of the camera, and almost had the idea of ​​becoming a disciple.

While the two were chatting, Zhao Yazhi listened quietly, and her beautiful eyes were circling on Kang Jianfei from time to time. She had known before that Kang Jianfei was very talented, but she never expected that Kang Jianfei actually made Zhong Zhiwen admire him so much in photography skills.

In the end, Zhao Yazhi simply held her cheeks with her jade hand and stared at Kang Jianfei with her eyes fixed on the table, with an expression of appreciation and admiration on her face.

When Zhong Zhiwen said goodbye and left, Zhao Yazhi took back his eyes and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Kang Jianfei called the waiter to pay and said, "Come with me to sign a little girl. I am a big man and I come to the door. Other parents may suspect that I have a bad intention. It would be different if you accompany me, because you are a big star and a woman, which can dispel the other party's precaution."

Zhao Yazhi asked curiously: "What little girl?"

Kang Jianfei explained: "I undoubtedly saw it in the photos of Doujingling Middle School, and I think she is very suitable to be the heroine of "Happy Ghost".

"Very pretty?" Zhao Yazhi asked for no reason, and only then did he feel that it was a bit unsuitable.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "What, you're jealous? That little girl is only fourteen years old."
