"First of all, thank you for your appreciation today to attend the celebration banquet of "Fatal Express". The box office of "Fatal Express" can exceed 30 million. Thanks to Mr. Kang Jianfei's ability to serve as the director of this film, Aaron and Miss Lin also make an indelible contribution. Here, I would like to all the participants in this film to wish Jiahe and DreamWorks can continue to work friendly and friendly in the future..." Zou Wenhuai raised his glass high, as the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy, and the smile on his face is as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
Kang Jianfei raised his wine glass speechlessly, and Jiahe held a celebration banquet in advance, which made him suffer a lot and still couldn't say it.
Just think about it with your toes, Hong Kong newspapers will inevitably report the news of the box office sales and celebration banquets in Hong Kong tomorrow, and Jiahe will become the leader in these news, making it as if "Fatal Express" was filmed by Jiahe with DreamWorks.
There is a saying that it is as high as the sky, momentum and fame. This thing doesn’t seem to be of practical value, but when you really start a company and do business, everything you do will be easier after the momentum rises.
To put it clearly, Jiahe's celebration banquet directly stole most of the popularity of DreamWorks.
After everyone finished a drink, the guests came to toast and congratulate him. They basically finished the wine of Zou Wenhuai first, then turned to talk to Kang Jianfei. The bitch Fei became a foil this time. I have to say that Zou Wenhuai has much more popularity than Kang Jianfei when he was with Hong Kong movie colleagues.
Fortunately, there are many people from Oriental Entertainment and DreamWorks, so they naturally have to take into account their bosses. They all came to congratulate Kang Jianfei, which was somewhat of a relief for the bitch Fei.
After the wine was toasted, Pan Disheng put down his glass and said to Sammo Hung, "Sanmao, what kind of movie should we make after our Debao is established?"
Sammo Hung looked at the beauty sitting next to Pan Disheng. He recognized at a glance that this was the woman who recently filmed the watch advertisement of Ji Longxue with Cheng Long, but Sammo Hung did not know her name and origin.
Seeing that Sammo Hung's eyes were on the female companion he brought, Pan Disheng smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce it to you. This lady is named Ziqiong Yang, and she was the champion of Miss Malaysia last year. She can't speak Mandarin and Cantonese yet."
Pan Disheng said again and turned around and talked to Yang Ziqiong in English, probably introducing things like Sammo Hung.
After the two of them muttered, Michelle Young took the initiative to say hello to Sammo Hung and said, "Harrow, Misterhom."
"Oh, it turns out it's Miss Yang. I'll be lucky!" Hong Jinbao laughed and already regarded Michelle Yang as Pan Disheng's new horse. The fact that a wealthy businessman pursues beauty pageant is very common in Hong Kong.
However, Hong Jinbao only guessed half of it. Pan Disheng really liked Yang Ziqiong, but he has not dared to pursue it rashly yet.
Because Michelle Yang is not an ordinary beauty pageant, she comes from a prominent family in Malaysia. Her grandfather has a bus company under her command, and her father is also a successful person in Malaysia. In a few years, she will even be named Datuk (Honorable Medal). With such a family background, Pan Disheng can't just throw some money into it, so she has to show some sincerity.
Some time ago, Pan Disheng obtained the agency rights of Ji Longxue watches in Hong Kong. In order to quickly increase brand awareness, Pan Disheng decided to ask Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia to shoot a watch advertisement - at that time, "Deadly Express" had just begun to be popular.
Unfortunately, since Lin Qingxia became famous in Taiwan, she has no longer taken any advertisements. Pan Disheng just needs to search for the heroine of the advertisement.
A Malaysian friend of Pan Disheng happened to be a family friend of Ziqiong Yang, so he recommended Ziqiong Yang to go to Hong Kong to shoot an advertisement.
Ziqiong Yang has been frugal since she was a child and has no worries about food and clothing. At the age of four, she started learning painting, ballet and piano, practiced swimming, badminton, skiing and horse riding, and participated in diving competitions. She used to study dance majors, but was seriously injured due to overtraining a few years ago. Since then, she has been unable to dance ballet again, so she went to study drama majors again.
Last year, Michelle Young graduated from the UK and returned to Malaysia. She was bored and ran to participate in the beauty pageant, but she won the championship inexplicably. After becoming the beauty pageant champion, various Malaysian advertising and film appointments flew over, making Michelle Young annoyed.
After receiving Pan Disheng's invitation, Michelle Yang came to Hong Kong to travel and relax. Unexpectedly, the advertisement co-produced with Cheng Long immediately attracted attention in Hong Kong as soon as it was broadcast.
There is no way. When she was young, Michelle Yang was so beautiful. She was really the kind of beauty who would become the focus wherever she went. When Pan Disheng saw Michelle Yang for the first time, he was moved and decided to pursue it. So he wanted to leave the beauty he liked in Hong Kong on the grounds of asking Michelle Yang to film.
Sammo Hung’s Baohe just made a frustrating movie two months ago. He was about to reopen a play to regain his fame. Where was the mood to play with Pan Disheng, a young man? He said now: "I don’t have a good idea yet, and Mr. Zou is planning to let me and Aaron shoot a new drama after the New Year. I will think about the company’s entrepreneurship work."
Pan Disheng was a little anxious when he heard this and said, "Will Debao's opening work be taken until the second half of the year?"
Sammo Hung explained: "Mr. Pan, the faster the movie is, the better. Let me tell you the truth. After the "Deadly Express" was sold, Mr. Zou was going to shoot a similar movie. Now he has decided to let me star in Yuan Biao and Aaron. The film will be screened in either France or Spain. This movie will be screened in the summer. If Debao's entrepreneurial work is filmed early, he can only schedule the garbage period in Jiahe Cinema. In this way, it will not be filmed in the next six months, and he will go directly to the Christmas season."
Although Pan Disheng didn't know how different the average schedule and the golden schedule were, he worked in a jewelry business and also understood that the sales of jewelry during holidays were much better during holidays than during holidays.
In another time and space, Pan Disheng discussed opening a company with Sammo Hung in 1983, and did not officially register Debao until February 1984, but his opening work "Owl and Dumbo" was not released at the end of the year.
Similarly, Pan Disheng tried to keep Yang Ziqiong to sign Debao at the beginning of the company's establishment. Unfortunately, as the Miss Malaysia champion, Yang Ziqiong had to go back to fulfill some championship obligations. She worked hard for more than half a year before Pan Disheng invited her back to shoot movies.
The purpose of Pan Disheng opening a film company was to promote the luxury brand he represented, but now he had to add a pickup girl. It is still possible to change the brand promotion method, but the excuse for picking up girls is very difficult to find. It is not easy to film for the time being that the film is not available, which makes Pan Disheng very depressed.
Sammo Hung's mind was full of new dramas that were about to collaborate with Cheng Long, while Pan Disheng was thinking about how to keep the beauty in Hong Kong. Both of them had nothing to talk about.
But Ziqiong Yang is like a curious baby, turning around from time to time. She has been studying at the Royal Dance Academy in the UK in recent years. She just returned from graduation last year and is not very familiar with Hong Kong stars. Even Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia rarely hear about it.
However, even though he was studying in the UK, Michelle Yang had heard of Kang Jianfei's reputation, just because his "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and "The Little Imperial" were very famous in the UK.
"Dixon, do you know Mr. Kang Jianfei?" Yang Ziqiong suddenly asked Pan Disheng.
After all, Kang Jianfei is an internationally famous director. In order to show that he has a wide range of friendship, Pan Disheng nodded with a smile and said, "Of course we met. We worked together as soon as Mr. Kang finished his first movie. He is still an old friend."
Ziqiong Yang asked expectantly: "Can you help me introduce me? I have always wanted to know him."
Pan Disheng felt a bad feeling. He brought Ziqiong Yang to the celebration banquet just to prove to her that he knew many friends in the Hong Kong film industry, so that he could convince Ziqiong Yang to sign the upcoming Debao Film Company.
But now Ziqiong Yang took the initiative to ask what was going on to get to know Kang Jianfei? You should know that Kang Jianfei’s celebrity agency is almost monopolized in Hong Kong. What if Ziqiong Yang went to Oriental Entertainment Company? Then wouldn’t Pan Disheng make wedding clothes for others?
But Pan Disheng just boasted that he and Kang Jianfei were old friends, and there was no reason to refuse Yang Ziqiong's request. He could only say helplessly: "Of course, but Mr. Kang has too many social engagements now, so we will go there later."
Seeing that many people were indeed coming up to talk to Kang Jianfei toast, Yang Ziqiong nodded and stopped talking. She couldn't speak Chinese and could not communicate with others at the same table, so she had to keep her head munched to taste the red wine in the cup.
At this moment, Chen Huiyi suddenly walked to Hong Jinbao and whispered: "Brother Sanmao, I just heard that the Spring Festival period of the New Era theaters was preparing for a Western film."
"Western film?" Sammo Hung screamed in surprise, "Isn't it the "City Light" directed by Zhang Jianting?"
What kind of movies are on the Spring Festival in the theaters in the new era are not related to Sammo Hung, but this year's Spring Festival in the theaters, the ones scheduled to be released by Baohe Film Company's "Man and Ghosts". This movie is directed by Qian Yuesheng and starring Lin Zhengying, Chen Long and others. The entire production team is all from the Hong family.
Because Zhang Jianting's director's "Seven Days of Mistake" was a hit last year, he happened to film "City Light" during this period, so Sammo Hung has always regarded "City Light" and "Best Partner 3" of New Art City as his biggest competitors. He never thought that the New Era theaters would actually be in the films of the Spring Festival.
"What else have you found out?" asked Hong Jinbao.
Like Lin Zhengying, Chen Huiyi was Bruce Lee's right-hand man back then. He was also the producer of "Man and Ghosts". He immediately replied: "I heard that it was a Western film that Kang Jianfei invested in Hollywood. It will start promoting it in Hong Kong in two days."
Sammo Hung is becoming increasingly confused. He has never heard that Kang Jianfei has invested in filming in Hollywood recently. Moreover, Western films released in Hong Kong are usually introduced after paintings in Europe and the United States, so there are more gimmicks to do in publicity.
However, Sammo Hung didn't know that Kang Jianfei also wanted to release "Terminator" in the United States first. Unfortunately, 20th Century Fox has its own film to be released, so he could not arrange "Terminator" for Christmas, and the screening plan in North America could only be postponed.
"Dickson, Mr. Kang is here!" Yang Ziqiong suddenly reminded with a little excitement.
Chapter completed!
