Kang Jianfei only stayed at the Taipei City Police Station for one night. Early the next morning, he symbolically paid some bail and went out.
When leaving, the police directly sent a police car to send him away and forcibly rushed out of the crowd of reporters at the door of the police station. The Taipei City police did not give the reporter a chance to interview Kang Jianfei at the door of the police station.
The Taipei Hilton Hotel was also squatted by reporters. The hotel where Kang Jianfei, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao stayed became the Yuanshan Hotel specially arranged by the Taiwan authorities.
Yuanshan Hotel is the industry of the Jiang family. The first generation of owner was Soong Mei-ling. In the late 1960s, it was named one of the top ten hotels in the world by the American magazine "Finance".
Guests who can come here to eat and stay are either rich or noble. The places where the Taiwanese authorities can stay here, such as Eisenhower, Clinton, Lee Kuan Yew, the King of Thailand, the King of Jordan, etc., have all stayed at the Yuanshan Hotel.
On the night when he stayed at Yuanshan Hotel, Li's servant invited Kang Jianfei at Yuanshan Hotel on his behalf. Li originally wanted to come forward in person, but now he has a lot of trouble, so he only sent a confidant to convey his apology to Kang Jianfei.
You may think that as a local emperor, why did Li admit defeat so easily? It's very simple. At least in these two or three months, it is the most critical moment in Li's life. A slight mistake may cause any mistakes. He doesn't want to make trouble because of Kang Jianfei, a world-class director. How many people behind him are looking forward to him making mistakes? At this time, a small mistake will be infinitely magnified.
If Kang Jianfei bit Zhang Jiuxin and asked for bribes, and then exposed other hot news to the reporter, then Mr. Li's strategy for employing people will be questioned - in fact, he has been questioned that he will not be able to use people anymore.
In order to express his kindness, Li even asked his servant to pass a message and invited Kang Jianfei to Taiwan to invest in the entertainment industry. He also hinted that Kang Jianfei could be given a cable TV license.
Kang Jianfei has no love for Taiwan's cable TV industry, and he doesn't like that little money. He only said that he wanted to build a signal tower in Taipei to transmit Macau TV programs to Taiwan.
This requirement is a bit tricky, because there are only three TV stations in Taiwan now, and it will not be possible to issue a wireless TV license in the next two or three years. But it is not that there is no room for operation, because Kang Jianfei built a signal tower to transmit programs from Macau TV. It is just to convert satellite signals through the TV station to signals that can be received by ordinary TV antennas.
The response from Mr. Li was: You can consider it, he needs to study it again.
Kang Jianfei understood this because if he was allowed to build a signal tower in Taipei, then the three TV stations in Taiwan would probably have a big fuss.
However, at least on the official side, Macau TV has been allowed to transmit programs to Taiwan, which was previously defined as an illegal program signal.
The next day, Kang Jianfei had a meal with Shao Yuming, director of the Taiwan News Bureau, at Yuanshan Hotel. The two talked about the development prospects of Taiwan's cultural and entertainment industry. They didn't mention anything about the ban.
Now that Taiwan’s newspapers are all reporting on Kang Jianfei, the ban order has long become a joke. This is also a manifestation that the Taiwan News Bureau cannot control public opinion. It is simply weaker than before.
On the third day of staying at Yuanshan Hotel, Kang Jianfei met with China Film Company and the general manager of China Cinema Line, and the two parties officially reached a cooperation agreement. In the future, the films of DreamWorks and Paramount will be distributed by China Film Company, and Kang Jianfei's films in Taiwan branch will be produced by China Film Company.
Moreover, when Kang Jianfei was banned three years ago, four cinemas were confiscated by the Taiwan authorities, and these cinemas were eaten by the China Cinema Line. Now all four cinemas are returned to Kang Jianfei, and China Film Company symbolically compensates Kang Jianfei for NT$100,000.
Since the Chinese cinema chain is basically distributed in northern Taiwan, Kang Jianfei decided to invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars to establish a cinema chain in the south of Nanwan. Together with the previous four cinemas, Kang Jianfei's cinema chains in Taiwan are all nominally affiliated with China Film Company, but each has its own books.
Kang Jianfei’s cooperation with China Film Company is a win-win situation. DreamWorks’ former partner in Taiwan was Long Xiang and Scholars. Now both companies have entered Taiwanese films and have cooperated with New Art City, Jiahe and many Hong Kong film companies. They are the biggest competitors in selling DreamWorks’ movies into Taiwan.
Because China Film Company is a party-run company of kmt, it has not left Taiwan to actively seek development due to its rigid business operations. With the death of Taiwanese films, it has been extremely difficult to develop in recent years.
Now the cooperation between China Film and Kang Jianfei is a perfect match, and each one takes what he wants. China Film and Television did not choose to cooperate with Kang Jianfei because of Li's request.
On the fourth day of staying at Yuanshan Hotel, Kang Jianfei hosted a banquet for Taiwanese UFO Records' boss Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua. The two parties reached a cooperation intention at the dinner table: Fengxing Records' distribution affairs in Taiwan will be fully represented by UFO Records; similarly, if UFO Records wants to sell songs to Hong Kong, or if its singers go to Hong Kong to promote and hold concerts, Fengxing Records will be fully represented by Fengxing Records.
Kang Jianfei has no idea to open a record company in Taiwan for the time being. Now Taiwan’s Rolling Stone and UFO Records have developed and matured. It is difficult to compete with these two companies. It is better to choose to cooperate with one of them. After two or three years, when Taiwan’s economy collapses, it is also the time when Taiwan’s record industry is in decline. At that time, Kang Jianfei can buy UFO Records by just giving some money.
As for now, whether it is Rolling Stones or UFO records, it is the peak and most profitable period. Unless Kang Jianfei pays several times the price, the boss will not sell it at all.
In the following three days, Kang Jianfei met with the general managers of three TV stations in Taiwan and reached a cooperation between Oriental TV Production Company and Dark Horse Animation Company and Sands. He immediately started several businesses, and the three TV stations in Taiwan purchased Dark Horse Animation Company's "Crayon Shin-chief", "Pink Girl" and "Show Dot Magician" respectively.
Kang Jianfei stayed at Yuanshan Hotel for a whole week and gained a lot. From movies to records to animations, he opened up channels for products under Oriental Group in Taiwan.
However, the incident of Kang Jianfei entering the police station this time was a big deal. Even the New York Times in the United States was reporting the news sent back by the Associated Press. Although the basic content of the news was still the same rhetoric that Kang Jianfei had prepared in the police station, the focus became Kang Jianfei's identity: Paramount's second largest shareholder, the decision-maker, Mr. Kang Jianfei, was forcibly demanded bribes by Taiwanese officials and proposed a power-for-sex deal to his female companion. Kang Jianfei angrily knocked the official into the hospital, and he was immediately arrested by the Taipei police...
This time, Mr. Li was embarrassed internationally. Although the whole incident had little to do with him, Zhang Jiuxin was indeed his old subordinate when he was the mayor of Taipei, and he was promoted to the position of deputy director of the News Bureau.
Kang Jianfei got such a huge practical benefit. The only thing that could repay Li was to say "Actually, this is a misunderstanding" in an interview with a reporter.
This year, the Hong Kong Film Awards will be held soon. Kang Jianfei will rush back to attend next week, but before that, she has to go to Japan to communicate with Sega's president, Shika Nakayama.
"Mr. Kang, I have negotiated with China Film. They promised to introduce a movie "The Love of the Rivers and Lakes". This movie has fewer pirated versions in Taiwan, and the box office may not be affected much after it is released." Yu Kanping has now become Kang Jianfei's executor in Taiwan.
Kang Jianfei has not been able to go out these days and has been staying at Yuanshan Hotel to work hard. However, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao were so bored that they disguised themselves and ran out to meet with their former friends every day.
"The most wise decision that President Li made was to legalize Taiwan's underground TV stations, which would allow Hong Kong film companies to recover a lot of losses." Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sigh.
Now Hong Kong films are popular in various departments in Taiwan, and the biggest factor affecting the box office is piracy - pirated audio tapes and pirated movie programs from illegal TV stations.
If the Taiwan authorities do not legalize cable TV stations, then Taiwan’s underground TV stations will never be banned, because even the police are watching these programs. Who do you send to ban them?
After the legalization of cable TV stations, those with strength can obtain cable TV licenses. For the sake of interests, these businessmen who obtain the license will become the help of the authorities to ban illegal TV stations.
When small illegal TV stations are almost eliminated by the market, there are only dozens of powerful regular cable TV stations left, which will greatly facilitate the unified management of the authorities and also make it more convenient for tracing pirated movie programs.
Think about it, how could a businessman finally gets a TV license, and how could he be sued by a Hong Kong film company for a little advantage and bear the risk of losing his TV license?
"I'll leave the matter to you in Taiwan. In a few days, Hong Kong will send you two assistants, and you can recruit some people in Taiwan." Kang Jianfei instructed.
"I will do it." Yu Kanping said.
"It's so late, why haven't Qingxia and Fengjiao come back yet?" Kang Jianfei looked at his watch. Because Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao were following the bodyguards, he was not worried about them. "I'm a little hungry, so I'll ask the hotel to send something to the guest room. What do you want to eat?"
Yu Kanping wanted to say goodbye, but it was difficult to refuse the boss' invitation, so he smiled and said, "Just have a bowl of beef noodles."
Kang Jianfei called two bowls of beef noodles, and the two old men watched TV with beef noodles, while watching and talking about their future development strategies in Taiwan.
Suddenly, the TV series of ZhongTV began to play. This is a martial arts drama called "Legend of Cicada Wings". Kang Jianfei was not at the TV screen at first, but suddenly he shook to the TV and was very familiar with a woman, pointing to the TV and asking, "Who is this woman?"
Yu Kanping took a look and recalled: "It seems that he is named Yang Liqing. He debuted last year and acted in the Gu Long drama "The Legend of the Flag" and became popular for a while."
