Zheng Shaoqiu’s contract with Wireless Channel has indeed expired, and he doesn’t want to renew his contract with Wireless Channel. The main reason is that Zheng Shaoqiu is famous and has better room for development, but Wireless Channel is constrained everywhere behind it.
In parallel space, after Zheng Shaoqiu finished filming the TVB drama "Sandwich Man" this year, he went to Taiwan with Shen Dianxia to develop. He either made TV series on TV stations in Taiwan or made some costume martial arts movies, but anyway, it was better than making movies on TVB.
In the following three years, Zheng Shaoqiu had no contact with TVB, and even helped ATV film a TV series, but he refused to cooperate with his old boss TVB.
The same is true in this time and space. Zheng Shaoqiu is also preparing to go to Taiwan to develop because his reputation in Taiwan is too great and he will not have to worry about not being able to receive a film appointment.
However, before Zheng Shaoqiu was about to go, he received an invitation from Oriental Entertainment Company and DreamWorks. The title of "The male lead with a budget of 35 million yuan" was too tempting, so Zheng Shaoqiu agreed without thinking much.
Like Zhong Zhentao, Alan Tam and others, Zheng Shaoqiu's agency contracts at Oriental Entertainment are also very relaxed, and does not restrict Zheng Shaoqiu's personal development and freedom of filming. For example, Zheng Shaoqiu's own film contracts in Taiwan will not participate in them, nor will he take a commission from his pay. However, Kang Jianfei's company has priority over Zheng Shaoqiu's records, movies, and TV contracts.
In the original time and space, the owner of the Fairy Castle was played by Lin Qingxia, but now Lin Qingxia is going to Italy with Kang Jian to shoot a movie, and it is difficult to participate in the role, so this role is played by Zhao Yazhi, who is about to leave TVB.
The roles of Li Saifeng, Liu Songren and others remain unchanged, but the roles of Yuan Biao, Meng Hai, Hong Jinbao and Weng Qianyu have to be replaced.
As Kang Jianfei expected, the next day, the headlines of entertainment pages of many Hong Kong newspapers were occupied by the news that Xu Kexin films, Qiu Guan and Azhi changed jobs.
"Sing Tao Daily" has created a title of "35 million sky-high budget, can DreamWorks recover the investment?", questioning the correctness of Kang Jianfei's investment this time: "Hong Kong film companies have invested in sky-high movies, such as "The Cannonball Speed" invested in Hollywood, and the cost is equivalent to more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars. However, "The Cannonball Speed" is guaranteed by the European and American markets, while "New Shushan Swordsman" and other films with the theme of Oriental Swordsman are not very attractive to Western audiences. Only relying on the Asian market, except for publicity costs and taxes, "New Shushan Swordsman" must at least have a box office of over 100 million to make money..."
In addition to being surprised and the investment amount of "New Shushan Swordsman", ordinary citizens are actually paying more attention to the whereabouts of Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi.
"Oriental Daily" commented on an article: "Oriental Entertainment has become a palace of Hong Kong artists, and the job-changing of Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi further proves the attractiveness of Oriental Entertainment. It is understood that the number of contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment has now reached 137, including nearly half of the famous and powerful young entertainers and singers in Hong Kong..."
While the news that DreamWorks spent huge sums of money to film "New Shushan Swordsman" shocked the Hong Kong film industry, Shaw Brothers rented most of the studios on the Qingshui Bay studio to wireless stations, and only retained the news that a few studios in the filming factory were a few, so not much attention was paid.
...
...
After the Industrial Light and Magic's special effects team came to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei immediately summoned more than a dozen makeup artists, props, setters, and photographers from DreamWorks to send the special effects team of "New Shushan Swordsman" in the name of helping to cooperate.
The newly built administrative building of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is now empty and has not yet settled in the company, so it has become a temporary workplace for the special effects team.
The foreigner in the room was making a model, and Kang Jianfei told Xu Ke, "This time you go to the mainland to film, there are three places you must go to see, one is Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, the second is Shunan Bamboo Sea in Sichuan/Yibin in Sichuan, and the third is Zhangjiajie in Hunan/South. Especially Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie, there is no need to do anything. The films produced will have the spirit of fairy spirits and are an excellent place for filming fairy movies."
Kang Jianfei decided to shoot the scene in the mainland. If there is no computer special effects for shooting a fairy movie, it is best to shoot the scene in real time. Otherwise, the shots built by the scene will not have a shocking effect.
Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie are both favorite places for Chinese directors in later generations. Many scenes of "Avatar" were filmed in Zhangjiajie.
As for the bamboo sea, it is a bit different. Some directors like to go to the tea mountain bamboo sea in "The Ten-Side Ambush", while some directors like to go to the wooden bamboo sea in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But Kang Jianfei is more interested in the bamboo sea in southern Shu, because the bamboo sea in southern Shu is not only the largest bamboo forest scenic spot in China, but has also been nominated for Huang Tingjian's book, and various ancient buildings on the mountain have also added a lot of color to this place.
"Wait a minute, I'll write it down first!" Xu Ke took out the paper and pen from his bag and started recording.
After Kang Jianfei finished writing the place name, he continued: "The application for filming in the mainland has been approved, and the mainland will also send some film talents to assist in the filming. Just like when we look for people from Industrial Light and Magic to steal the teacher, our mainland colleagues are also here to steal the teacher, so you don't have to hide it."
Xu Ke hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but say, "The investment in "New Shushan" is already very large, and it is difficult to recover the cost. If we go to mainland China to film, it would probably be like giving up the Taiwan market. Wouldn't that be even more loss?"
"You have to give up if you don't give up," Kang Jianfei sighed, "Taiwan's News Bureau has already blacklisted Phoenix Taiwan, and the next one banned by the Taiwan authorities is DreamWorks. This time Yu Kanping sent "God of Gambling" to the Golden Horse Awards to participate, but the gambling theme was actually violated. I guess it won't take long before the Taiwan News Bureau will block DreamWorks movies under various names."
Xu Ke's face changed. This was the first time he heard about such a thing and asked, "How could this happen?"
"Then think I'm a pro-Mainland." Kang Jianfei smiled bitterly. It was just that Phoenix Taiwan had said several times to the mainland, but Phoenix Taiwan also filmed a lot of flattery in Taiwan. In addition, Xu Anhua has been banned by Taiwan, and Xu Anhua is the director of DreamWorks. DreamWorks used to film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in the mainland, which further confirms Kang Jianfei's suspicion of being a pro-Mainland.
If it weren't for DreamWorks' movies that had always been divided into the Bamboo Alliance Gang, which was a useful knife in the hands of Mr. Jiang Er, the movies of DreamWorks would have long been banned by the Taiwan News Bureau.
Mr. Jiang Er is now the general manager of China Broadcasting Corporation, and also joined the "National Security Conference" of KMT's important department. These two positions were specially approved by Mr. Jiang. Now Mr. Jiang Er is almost recognized as the successor of the Jiang family.
It is precisely because of Mr. Jiang's great writing that the Taiwan News Bureau did not kill Kang Jianfei immediately. Like Ye Yuqing's elder brother Ye Zhiming, who was a big brother, was selling movies in a hot spot. He wanted to start a theater company with great enthusiasm, but he went to cooperate with several left-wing theaters in a desperate situation, but was directly killed by the Taiwan News Bureau.
Xu Ke really didn't ask more questions. Kang Jianfei's ability to give him 35 million to make a movie is already his greatest support. No matter what, he has to do his best to make the movie.
Kang Jianfei told Xu Ke some of his suggestions for "New Shushan Swordsman" before driving to Jiahe to make final contact with the personnel who cooperated with this time.
Just a few days ago, Kang Jianfei dug Wu Yusen from Jiahe and served as the deputy director of the new film "Deadly Express".
Jiahe not only did not feel dissatisfied with Kang Jianfei's poaching behavior, but instead felt relaxed in sending the plague god away.
Wu Yusen was also a general of Jiahe a few years ago and filmed a series of popular comedy films. However, this person has become increasingly restless in the past two years. He has not filmed a good comedy film, but he has to try every means to shoot gunfight action films.
Fortunately, Kang Jianfei's "The True Color of Heroes" made such films popular. Jiahe finally agreed to Wu Yusen's filming "Heroes Without Tears", but he shot an accident with a real gun, which also caused Jiahe to sue. Now no one in Hong Kong dares to ask Wu Yusen to film, and Jiahe even refrigerated this abortion. Kang Jianfei poached Wu Yusen without spending a penny, but instead received the thanks from Jiahe and Wu Yusen himself.
After a long time in Jiahe, Kang Jianfei went home. As soon as Kang Jianfei walked into the house, Guan Zhilin rushed over, hung his neck and kissed him, and said, "Brother Fei, I've been staying at home for several months. I'm so bored. Why don't you invest in making a movie for me?"
"Let's talk about it when I come back from Italy. Now I don't have time to make a special movie for you in a while," Kang Jianfei's hand stroked Guan Meiren's buttocks back and forth, and said, "It's better to go to Oriental Entertainment to find Pan Yingzi and ask her to find someone to choose a good role for you."
Guan Zhilin pouted, pulled Kang Jianfei to sit on the sofa and said, "Why don't I go to Italy with you? I haven't gone to Europe yet when I grow up so old."
If you go to Italy and follow Guan Zhilin, Lin Qingxia would probably have a quarrel. Kang Jianfei had to coax and said, "Be good, Brother Fei is working in Europe, so how can he have time to accompany you? If you want to go abroad in Europe, next time we will go alone, Brother Fei promises to have enough fun with you."
Although Miss Guan was a little disappointed, she didn't make any more noise. Instead, she lay in Kang Jianfei's arms like a kitten and said, "My mother called me just now and asked when we would get married."
As soon as he heard of "marrying" his two sons, Kang Jianfei, a scum who cheated on love, had a headache. He felt that marriage was boring enough. Married people simply had a good life but were only suffering. They put ropes on their necks and one day they would have to strangle themselves to death!
To put it bluntly, Kang Jianfei actually suffers from marriage phobia. He is not only afraid of marriage and family, but also extremely afraid of having children. He always feels that having children is an unforgivable sin.
