After the script framework was completed, Deng Jingsheng, Cheng Long and the two screenwriters of DreamWorks, jointly designed the plot to make the plot of "Deadly Express" as full as possible.
Deng Jingsheng is Jiahe's gold medal screenwriter. Kang Jianfei also brought his cousin Wu Ruiqing into the screenwriter team and asked him to learn more with his seniors.
As for Kang Jianfei herself, she only ordered Chen Shuli to collect some European and American celebrity information to prepare for future casting. She didn't pay much attention to this matter in the next few days.
The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate against the US dollar has fallen by 9.3 to 1. Kang Jianfei doesn't know how much the Hong Kong dollar will continue to fall, but he knows that it will definitely stabilize in the end.
The overseas box office revenue of "Home Imperial" is all US dollars, and this money is owned by Kang Jianfei personally, not DreamWorks' funds. The overseas box office revenue that has been credited, plus the revenue from selling the copyright of "Home Imperial" has combined more than US$120 million.
Kang Jianfei didn't touch the money much, but only took out some repayment of bank loans, supplemented the funds withdrawn from major companies, and used them to build Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. When the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate plummeted to 9.3, Kang Jianfei began to exchange the US dollars in his hands into Hong Kong dollars in batches.
Now all Hong Kong people want to convert Hong Kong dollars into US dollars, but the amount of US dollars that Kang Jianfei threw in did not cause any waves. The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate is still falling. In just five days, the exchange rate fell from 9.3 to 9.6. With such a crazy depreciation, many people think that Hong Kong is over and the Hong Kong dollar is over.
In order to prevent their money from evaporating due to the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, Hong Kong citizens have withdrawn their bank deposits, either to buy hard currency such as gold and US dollars, or to buy expensive goods such as home appliances and cars.
When citizens withdraw deposits at the same time, there was even a spectacular sight of long queues at the entrance of some banks. Immediately afterwards, rumors about a certain bank being "squeezed" began to spread. In response to the bank's bankruptcy last year, many banks in Hong Kong broke out in a credibility crisis, resulting in more people going to the bank to withdraw money.
Finally, Hang Lung Bank could not hold on at the first time, and the British Hong Kong government had to urgently take over the bank and promised to appease the citizens, which finally suppressed the tide of squeezing.
This chaos in Hong Kong was largely caused by the UK itself. In order to prove that Hong Kong would collapse once it leaves the British management, and then put pressure on the mainland, British media first spread unfavorable news and caused panic among citizens. As a result, the mainland ignored the situation, and the British side could not get out of Taiwan.
All of this has nothing to do with Kang Jianfei. All he cares about is whether he can make a profit from it.
Although I don’t know the specific rise and fall of the Hong Kong dollar, Kang Jianfei believes that the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar will definitely rise back, so he exchanged all of them for nearly 100 million US dollars into Hong Kong dollars.
Kang Jianfei was lucky, so he asked Lian Meng to guess correctly this time.
It only takes more than half a month. The Hong Kong government will take compulsory measures to keep the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate at 7.8. That is to say, Kang Jianfei's behavior of speculating on the Hong Kong dollar can bring him a huge profit of US$20 million (equivalent to more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars) in less than a month.
...
...
Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.
At this time, Tseung Kwan O was sparsely populated and was located in a remote village. The Hong Kong government began to develop the new town of Tseung Kwan O last year, and it has just been built. It is still desolate everywhere.
The government's move to develop the new town of Tseung Kwan O is the residents of Tseung Kwan O. Because if they want to build a road to Tseung Kwan O, the section of the road must pass through Tseung Kwan O, which has only been able to go out by boat for decades, finally has a road to Kowloon.
The hundreds of acres of wasteland purchased by Kang Jianfei are located between Tseung Kwan O and Tseung Kwan O. Now an administrative building and some antique wooden buildings have been built.
The black Cadillac sedan drove from a newly repaired road and drove from a muddy yellow road into a busy construction site.
Before the car could stop, several people in suits at the construction site had already come up and greeted Kang Jian after he got off the car.
In the construction of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Kang Jianfei hired a construction company under Cheung Kong Industrial. In the past two years, houses in Hong Kong have not been easy to sell, and no new real estate projects have started construction. All major construction companies are so poor that they can't afford to lose money.
At that time, Kang Jianfei revealed the news that he wanted to build a film and television city to several major construction companies, but those companies almost fought to grab the business. In the end, Kang Jianfei held a small-scale bidding meeting before handing over the business to Changjiang Industrial, which is the most cost-effective.
Walking in the front was Guo Changming, the person in charge of the construction site. He came up to shake hands with Kang Jianfei in a hard helmet and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang. I, Guo Changming, is the deputy project manager of the Film and Television City construction site."
"Hello, Manager Guo." Kang Jianfei reached out and shook with him.
Since Kang Jianfei really has no confidant, the Film and Television City did not send anyone to manage it. It just asked his cousin Zhou Mingfang to check the accounts regularly, and then asked professionals to check the quality of the project every now and then.
As for who will take care of the film and television city after it is built, Kang Jianfei still has no suitable candidate.
Just as Kang Jianfei was talking to Guo Changming, someone suddenly rushed out of the crowd and greeted Kang Jianfei with a smile: "Hello Mr. Kang."
Kang Jianfei laughed silently when he saw this person, and replied, "So it's Lao Li, are you here today?"
The person who came was Li Saifeng's father. Li's father made a lot of money in business a few years ago, but he lost all his money by speculating in stocks and real estate. Now he still holds several houses in his hand. These houses are worth tens of millions in ten years, but now they are not easy to sell at a low price.
The money Li Saifeng earned from filming was used by her father to make up for the holes. This time, when she heard that Kang Jianfei was going to build a film and television city, Li's father instigated his daughter to plead and took over the decoration project of the film and television city. After this project was completed, Li's father could make a lot of money.
"Of course, you have to be more careful when decorating Mr. Kang's house. If you don't come and see it in person, I won't even sleep well at night." Li's father said obediently. Kang Jianfei's current status is already an existence he can only look up to, so he naturally has to please him more.
No matter how he said he wanted to play with his daughter, Kang Jianfei was still a little polite to this "father-in-law", nodded at him and said, "That seems that he didn't find the wrong person this time."
Li's father got Kang Jianfei's affirmation, and his smile bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he immediately slapped him with a flattery. He kept putting a high hat on Kang Jianfei.
Guo Changming took Kang Jian to the construction site and said, "It was a typhoon and heavy rain some time ago. The work was shut down for a whole month and a half, otherwise the progress would definitely be much faster. Should Mr. Kang go to the construction site there and take a look?"
"No need," Kang Jianfei shook hands with Guo Changming and said, "Manager Guo, go and do your business, I'll go to the ancient city."
Li's father immediately said, "Mr. Kang is going to watch them film. I'll go with you."
Kang Jianfei nodded and headed towards the ancient city not far away with Li's father.
The so-called ancient city is just a short antique street, and the "official office" of "Bao Qingtian" is located here.
Due to the short construction time, many scenes of the crew of "Bao Qingtian" have to go back to Songcheng in the Liyuan Amusement Park to film. However, the plays of Kaifeng Government Office must be here.
When Kang Jianfei came to the crew of "Bao Qingtian", "Master Bao" was sitting in the hall to investigate the case, and there were many ordinary people wearing ancient costumes standing at the government office.
At this time, the filming was the first unit of "Bao Qingtian" "The Case of the Beheading of Beauty". Bao Zheng, played by Jin Chaoqun, was sitting in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, standing beside him, Gongsun Ce played by Li Hanchi, and the other song was Zhan Zhao played by He Jiajin.
Li Hanchi used to be an actor at Phoenix Film Company, but because the left-wing company was getting worse, he finally joined Li's TV station four years ago. This person has good acting skills and looks good, but he has always played a wrong character on the TV station. This time he was called "good".
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han also stood on both sides of the lobby. The actors were all students who graduated from the Phoenix Training Class last year. For example, Huang Qiusheng's friend Wu Yijiang played Zhao Hu.
Kang Jian flew to the yamen runners beside him with fire sticks and glanced at them. His eyes suddenly stopped on one of them because he suddenly discovered an "acquaintance". The yamen runner who was playing a supporting role was Tian Qiwen, the third senior brother in "Shaolin Football", and was also one of the heads of Xinghui Company of Stephen Chow, who was later responsible for the image promotion, business expansion, performing arts brokerage and film production planning, etc.
In the lobby of the government office, Chen Shimei, played by Zeng Weiquan, stood behind his hands, while Qin Xianglian, played by Ruan Peizhen, was crying to Lord Bao about her experience. These two actors were both from the previous Lishi training class, but they were the kind of actors who were half-popular and not purple, but were somewhat famous but could never become popular.
"Qin Xianglian, what you said is the fact? Chen Shimei is the son-in-law of the dynasty. If you lie, you are accusing the royal relatives..." Bao Zheng, played by Jin Chaoqun, slapped the arson and said the lines in a slight manner. He used to be a stage drama actor, and this dramatic tone combined with the selfless image of Bao Zheng. It perfectly integrates the characters, plot and history.
"Click!"
At the command of director Liang Tian, ​​the scene was over. The next actor who had no scenes immediately asked a makeup artist to take off his wig. It would be so hot that it would be so hot for more than ten minutes in summer.
The third senior brother Tian Qiwen, who originally played the yamen runner, immediately ran to help carry props after removing his makeup. Kang Jianfei pointed at Tian Qiwen and asked Liang Tian: "What is that actor's name?"
Liang Tian remembered the reputation of a little supporting actor, and immediately recruited his assistant director to ask.
The assistant director replied: "That young man named Tian Qiwen. He joined Lishi as a field worker four years ago and occasionally followed some supporting roles. After the separation of production and broadcasting of Phoenix TV, the signed actors were transferred to Oriental Entertainment Company. Tian Qiwen had no formal contract, so he could only continue to work as a short-term worker with the crew."
"In the future, I'll give him a small supporting role with lines. I've just watched him play a supporting role very seriously." Kang Jianfei said casually, it was not easy to support a small person like Tian Qiwen too much.
Although Liang Tian and the assistant director were puzzled, they did not think about it carefully. They only thought that Kang Jianfei was more pleasing to the actor, so they gave him a chance.
Kang Jianfei wandered around the crew, and major actors such as Jin Chaoqun and He Jiajin hurriedly came to greet him. As for the little supporting actors who rarely saw Kang Jianfei, they all looked over with their eyes wide open, and the smartest one was working hard, hoping to show it in front of the boss.
Xu Xiaoming, the producer of "Bao Qingtian", also arrived quickly. He was just producing another director's play at the Liyuan Amusement Park. He heard that Kang Jian had come to the film and television city and immediately rushed over by car.
"Old Xu, "Bao Qingtian" will be broadcast the day after tomorrow. Are you confident that you will win TVB?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Xu Xiaoming said confidently: "It is certain to win over TVB, only depends on how much ratings can exceed the opponent. In our "Bao Qingtian", the time to make costumes and props alone is enough to make a TVB "Bao Gong Legend".
tvb's "Legend of Bao Gong" has been released for five days, and its highest rating once reached 44 points, which is considered a good start before Phoenix TV.
Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled, "Why should I separate production and broadcasting? The TV production department's programs should focus on the entire Asian market. How much money can be sold in Hong Kong is just a fraction of the money. So everything is based on the quality of the program, and the cost can be saved, but the money you should spend must be spent, and you cannot be as petty as TVB."
