Tseung Kwan O.
The once remote village has now become a deserted construction site.
The British Hong Kong government made plans to develop the Tseung Kwan O New Town three years ago. The first step was to build the Baolin and Cuilin New Villages. The second step would be to industrial reclamation and develop the city center at the seaside. The third step included further development of the city center and the reclamation project in the southern part of the bay.
Unfortunately, the road from Kowloon to Tseung Kwan O was just completed, and the Sino-UK negotiations began, and the development plan of Tseung Kwan O was temporarily shelved, leaving only a large area of ​​wasteland that had just started construction.
Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is located between Tseung Kwan O and Tseung Kyoung Ling, and its area covers much larger than the original time and space Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. If it weren't for the Sino-British negotiations, the Hong Kong and British governments would have put the Tseung Kwan O development plan down. No matter how much money Kang Jianfei spent, he would not be able to buy such a large area of ​​land - part of this land is in the government's Tseung Kwan O New Town Planning Map.
Kang Jianfei's film and television city is right next to Tseung Kwan O's "New Village" (actually they are still construction sites). Going southeast is the Qingshui Bay Peninsula, which is the location of Shaw Brothers' Qingshui Bay studio.
The car starts from Kowloon City and is not far from Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, and you can see the dark brown walls of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.
Today is the day when several companies under Kang Jianfei moved into the film and television city. Although he did not deliberately invite any newspaper to interview, the reporters spontaneously came to find the news.
Since Shaw Brothers stopped production, DreamWorks has achieved great victory this summer, and has become the number one film company in Hong Kong. Now it has created a film and television city and has moved all your related entertainment companies in it. It is impossible not to attract attention.
A car drove to the gate of the film and television city, and a guard came over and said to them, "Please show your ID."
A head was stretched out from the car's window and said to the guard: "Brother, I am Nanfeng, a reporter from the Hong Kong Times. Please make a convenient way."
Nanfeng said a cigarette and handed it over. He felt that he would definitely come here to interview often in the future, so he wanted to establish a good relationship with the guard.
Unexpectedly, the guard said, "Mr. Nanfeng, there are regulations on it. Because there are too many cars moving the company today, your car can only be parked outside. And when you go in for an interview, you need to register with me."
Nanfeng smiled and said, "There is a highway outside, and we have no place to park."
The guard pointed to the construction site of the new village next to him: "The construction site there has been vacant for two years and can be used for parking."
Nanfeng's face was a little dark. The construction site was at least two kilometers away from the gate of the Film and Television City. He had to walk over after the interview later.
However, it doesn’t matter if you walk more roads for the sake of interviews. I quickly got off the car with the photojournalist to register.
After entering the film and television city, Nanfeng found that it was well-built inside, at least much beautiful than the Qingshui Bay set that was built decades ago. Many trees were transplanted on the cement roadside, but unfortunately, because the transplanting time was not long, these trees were bare and not many leaves.
Walking on the road, trucks dragged office supplies and equipment from time to time. Nanfeng soon came to a high building, and celebrities came in and out from time to time.
The photographer quickly pressed the shutter, while Nanfeng took the opportunity to run over for an interview.
Half an hour later, Nanfeng had received brief interviews from several celebrities, but unfortunately he could not enter the building, otherwise he would definitely gain even greater results.
Nanfeng is located in the administrative district, where there are two administrative buildings not far away. Each administrative building is eight floors, plus an underground parking lot.
Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV are on the first floor of the administrative floor, with DreamWorks exclusively in the fifth floor, while Phoenix TV has only three floors.
The same is true on the second floor of Xingzheng. Oriental Entertainment has five floors, and Fengxing Records is working on the remaining three floors.
The administrative district goes beyond that, and it is a living area, with a canteen, a supermarket, and several apartment buildings.
The owner of the supermarket is Kang Jianfei's cousin Liang Ying. This woman is doing nothing at home. When she heard that the film and television city wanted to open a supermarket, she found Kang Jianfei and said she wanted to do it herself.
Apartment buildings are places to provide accommodation for company employees. Of course, not all of them are free, but are rented at a relatively low price. Only old employees who have worked in the company for more than 10 years can buy a apartment here at a low price.
To the east of the living area is the set of the film and television city. Some are built with magnificent antique buildings, some are built as studios, and some are leveled open spaces. These open spaces can be left to be used to set scenes when filming movies and TV series in the future.
"Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is so complete without realizing it. Kang Jianfei has great ambitions!" Nan Feng stood on an antique street and couldn't help but sigh.
Another reporter who also came to the Film and Television City to interview said, "Yes, in the future, whether it is a TV series or a movie in DreamWorks, costume dramas can be filmed in the antique area, company dramas can be filmed in the administrative building, family dramas can be filmed in the apartment building, and other plots can be filmed in the street, except for some plots that require filming on the street, the rest can be handled in the Film and Television City."
Today, the people who came to the film and television city to interview were all entertainment reporters. Nan Fengtong also met the person and added: "A few companies are put together. When you want to shoot a movie, go to Oriental Entertainment to find actors. The later soundtrack is also convenient, because Fengxing Records is also here."
The two reporters were chatting while wandering around the antique street. When they came out for a while, a photographer suddenly said, "Nanfeng, do you see if it's Chen Xunqi over there?"
Chen Xunqi is not only the boss and director of the film company, but also a movie star, because he usually plays the male lead in his movies himself - this guy is an all-round panacea, writing, directing, and acting himself, and making his own soundtracks and editing.
Nanfeng looked closely and immediately ran away: "It's him, go and interview!"
Nanfeng quickly caught up with Chen Xunqi and asked while gasping for breath: "Mr. Chen, I am Nanfeng of the Hong Kong Times. Why did you appear in the Film and Television City? Are you going to work with Mr. Kang again?"
Chen Xunqi is here to try to get in touch with Kang Jianfei today. He didn't expect to meet a reporter. His face changed: "Sorry, I won't accept your interview."
Chen Xunqi walked quickly towards the administrative building, and Nanfeng and several other reporters followed him closely, and continued to ask: "Mr. Chen, are you planning to close Yongjia Pictures and return to DreamWorks?"
A minute later, Chen Xunqi entered the administrative building without saying a word, while Nanfeng and several other reporters were stopped by the guards.
Although Chen Xunqi did not answer any questions, the reporters were very happy because it was a big news that Chen Xunqi appeared here.
A car passed by, Weng Meiling lay in the car window, watching the reporters running after Chen Xunqi from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "When can we become big stars?"
Wang Shuxian chewed snacks in his mouth and said, "You are a star now. The third female lead in "Senior Sister Tuo Gun 3" has long been known in Hong Kong."
"It would be almost the same if I could play the second female lead, but the third female lead had very few scenes." Weng Meiling said with a pout.
Wang Shuxian stuffed a piece of potato chips into Weng Meiling's mouth and said, "It's good to be able to play the third female lead. Now there are more and more actors in the company, and the competition pressure is very high."
The competition of Oriental Entertainment is really cruel. Although famous actors earn higher than peers in other companies, third-tier actors and newcomers have had a very bad time, and they can only afford to spend money. But even so, the dream of becoming famous and making a lot of money still attracts countless people to fly into the flames.
Weng Meiling chewed the potato chips and said, "You are so embarrassed to say that if Mr. Kang speaks for special care, he has never lacked opera."
"He said he wanted to film a movie for me specifically, and I guess he forgot it." Wang Shuxian said with some loss.
Weng Meiling took the initiative to go to Wang Cuixian to eat potato chips and said, "This time the four companies moved together. I heard that many people were fired because of the overlapping functions."
"The beginning and end are fired, and some departments are disbanded directly. I saw someone pouring red paint on Mr. Kang yesterday," said Wang Shuxian.
After a few chats between the two beauties, the car had already driven downstairs of the apartment in the living area and dragged a bunch of luggage out of the trunk.
Just as Weng Meiling and Wang Tuenxian moved with difficulty, Chen Xunqi had already arrived at Kang Jianfei's office.
Kang Jianfei used to have his own offices and secretary in several companies. Now that the four companies have moved together, there is only one office left in his office. However, there are still four secretarys, who are responsible for the affairs of the four companies. Then he went to Zeng Bolin to summarize the information and arrange work schedules to feedback them.
Chen Xunqi originally wanted to come over and sigh at Kang Jianfei's voice, but he didn't expect that Kang Jianfei was shaking hands with him and said with a smile: "Welcome back!"
Kang Jianfei knew Chen Xunqi very well. If he hadn't planned to go back to Dream Factory, he wouldn't have found this place specifically.
Seeing Kang Jianfei so disregarded his past grudges, Chen Xunqi's face was burning and said, "It will take two months for Yongjia Pictures to disband."
"No problem, you can go back to DreamWorks anytime." Kang Jianfei smiled.
Let employees treat the company as a vegetable market, freely enter and leave and come back, is Kang Jianfei such a generous person?
Of course not.
The reason why Kang Jianfei did not mention Chen Xunqi's original betrayal was because he took a fancy to this person's ability.
Unlike Jiahe, Xinyi City focuses on a certain type of film, Kang Jianfei hopes that DreamWorks can shoot various types of films.
Nowadays, directors from DreamWorks, Li Xiuxian, who is good at police and gangster films, Madon Bear, who is good at realistic themes, Xu Ke, who is good at fantasy types, Wu Yusen, who is good at hero films, Madon Jie, who is good at youth campus themes, and Wang Jing and Zeng Zhiwei, who are good at comedy...
Chen Xunqi is good at urban comedy. Unlike Wang Jing and Zeng Zhiwei's comedy, he prefers the middle-class petty bourgeois taste. With the development of Hong Kong's economy, Hong Kong's middle-class group will become larger and larger, and Chen Xunqi is the most powerful middle-class film director in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei's "generousness" made the two of them instantly relieve their grudges. After chatting for a few words, Kang Jianfei turned his eyes to Wang Jiawei beside Chen Xunqi and said, "This gentleman is so familiar."
