As an experienced star scout, Lin Qinglong knew speaking skills. If he said directly that Kang Jianfei asked Yang Liqing to accompany him to Japan, it would inevitably arouse Yang Liqing's vigilance and disgust.
On the other hand, Lin Qinglong took his own efforts to get Yang Liqing a chance to accompany Kang Jian to Japan. Then Yang Liqing will not only not be disgusted, but also be very happy and excited, and feel grateful to Lin Qinglong.
In this way, Yang Liqing lost her vigilance and was eager to become a big star, she would take the initiative to approach Kang Jianfei after being instigated by Lin Qinglong.
The same thing, expressed in different terms, will have completely different effects. From this point of view, Lin Qinglong is still a talented person, and he is doing so miserably, but he can only say that he is not satisfied with his talent.
The reason why Kang Jianfei wanted to run a film company in Taiwan was actually partly the same as opening a company in South Korea. Although Taiwanese films have declined, they have left behind a wealth of film talents, and these film talents have extremely low salaries compared to their Hong Kong peers.
Kang Jianfei only needs to move to Taiwan to produce based on the Hong Kong film production model, and use one or two Hong Kong stars as the selling point and star in Taiwan movie stars, and it is easy to make a small-cost movie - compared to the film production fee in Hong Kong.
As long as such a movie is not bad, with the joining of Hong Kong actors, they will not lose much even if they fail, and they can still make a profit if they are not done well.
With the increase in Hong Kong cinema chains, DreamWorks' movies, like other companies, have shortened their release cycles except for fierce films. After DreamWorks' annual production volume increased to 20 movies, Kang Jianfei didn't want to raise it any further, because that would greatly increase the company's production cost and investment risks.
Otherwise, if there is a problem, DreamWorks is likely to become the second Shaw Brothers. At that time, Shaw Brothers' annual production volume reached more than 30 movies. In other words, Shaw Brothers theaters have to release nearly 3 movies per month on average. Except for those good movies with long screening cycles, many Shaw Brothers movies even fall into paintings after two or three days of screening.
One of the functions of DreamWorks' branches in Taiwan and South Korea is that they can be used to fill the gaps in Oriental Theater. When films are missing, the branch's top-notch movies will be released, while unpopular movies will only be released locally in the branch.
Lin Qinglong has been in the Taiwanese entertainment industry for 20 years. With him joining the Taiwan branch of DreamWorks, Yu Kanping has found a right-hand assistant.
...
Early in the morning, a room at Yuanshan Hotel.
Lin Qingxia, who was wearing only a suspender nightgown, had her exposed shoulders and collarbone full of temptation. She took out a suit from the closet, turned around and threw it on the bed, and said, "We won't go to the airport to see you off, so as not to be entangled by reporters again."
Lin Fengjiao was carefully helping Kang Jianfei button his shirt beside the bed, and echoed: "Yes, now Taiwanese journalists have also learned the Hong Kong paparazzi style. Some entertainment tabloid reporters can wait for a day and night when they are outside."
Kang Jianfei has been in Taiwan for almost two weeks. After the talks, he also met with some Taiwanese scholars, celebrities and directors in the last two or three days. Some schools in Taiwan also invited him to give speeches. However, they were all pushed by Kang Jianfei, and they would be annoyed by reporters in public places.
After dressing, Lin Fengjiao handed Kang Jianfei's luggage to bodyguard Zhang Degong, and sent him to the door with Lin Qingxia.
While Kang Jianfei hugged Lin Fengjiao and kissed her wet, he also pulled Lin Qingxia into his arms. He hugged her left and right and kissed the two girls farewell.
For more than a week, the three of them have been together every night. Lin Qingxia has completely accepted and even started to enjoy the matter of twin flying since she first resisted her. Of course, she has to look at her partner in this way, because Lin Fengjiao has been her good friend for many years, so Lin Qingxia will be able to let go. If it were another woman, Lin Qingxia would definitely not want to.
After Kang Jianfei and the two girls parted, they were blocked by reporters as soon as they left the hotel. Fortunately, there were not many reporters who intercepted him early in the morning, and only five were taking photos.
Kang Jianfei has basically never left the hotel these days. As soon as the five reporters saw him, they immediately surrounded him excitedly. One of them asked: "Mr. Kang, can you reveal the inside story of the beating incident? Is it the same as the rumors in the market?"
"I don't want to talk about this matter too much, I can only say it's a pure misunderstanding." Kang Jianfei said this to save face for the Taiwan authorities.
Another reporter asked in detail: "But that Deputy Director Zhang has been removed from office. Does it have nothing to do with you?"
The arranged car parked in the square outside the hotel. Kang Jianfei walked over there and said, "The officials' promotion and withdrawal of the transfer is the government's business and has nothing to do with me."
When the reporters saw Kang Jianfei not letting go, they could only give up asking about this matter and asked: "Mr. Kang, Miss Lin Qingxia has been living with you in the Yuanshan Hotel these days. Do you have any plans to get married or get engaged?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Sorry, there is nothing to tell me about the private problem."
"I heard that the News Bureau has revoked your ban order. When will DreamWorks movies be sold to Taiwan?" The reporter who could not ask the answer could only turn the topic to this.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "In the future, the release of DreamWorks movies in Taiwan will be fully responsible for the agency. When will it meet with Taiwanese audiences, this matter is still under discussion." At this time, Kang Jianfei had already walked to the car and said to the reporters, "Okay, there are still the last five questions, one of you, I'm going to rush to the airport."
"Mr. Kang, as we all know, you have close ties with the other strait. Now the two sides of the strait have begun to have private exchanges. What are your personal opinions on the relationship and future of the cross-strait?" The reporter of the United Daily News asked this bold question.
Kang Jianfei showed a warm smile on his face and said in a very soft tone: "Don't talk about politics."
"But your Phoenix Platform often makes pro-communist remarks," the reporter said.
Kang Jianfei's smile remained unchanged and said calmly: "Phoenix Channel is a TV station with a strong position. Your so-called pro-communist remarks are just misunderstandings. Phoenix Channel has also reported many news in Taiwan. I am a businessman, and I can only see business opportunities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but I can't see political stance."
Another reporter was not interested in this kind of political issues and took the conversation and asked: "Mr. Kang, in addition to the identities of directors and actors, you are also a well-known novelist. Taipei will hold a grand literary exchange meeting next month, and Sanmao, Bai Yang and Li Ao will attend. I wonder if you will attend at that time?"
"I have received an invitation, but unfortunately, I just don't have time." Kang Jianfei was not interested in this kind of writer exchange meeting, and just a group of cultural people sat together to drink tea and brag. Moreover, this exchange meeting was promoted by Li, who was to show that under his leadership, Taiwan is more free to speak and politically open than before. You must know that Bai Yang and Li Ao are all dissidents, and have been in Green Island Prison for several years.
There is another last question. The previous reporter of the United Daily News rushed to ask: "Mr. Kang, what do you think of Bai Yang's book "Ugly Chinese"? Last year, this book was completely banned in the mainland, but it is a best-selling book in Taiwan. Judging from this incident, is the other side of reform and opening up not as good as Taiwan before the ban?"
Bai Yang is still very popular in mainland China. Kang Jianfei had nothing to do before traveling through time. What impressed him the most was an essay written by this gentleman, "Long Live Princess Shanyin". In this article, the old man believed that he had been incest with his brothers, almost forcing his uncle, and raising 30 face-to-face princess Shanyin at home is an amazing person because she "not only has insights beyond the times, but also has the awareness of inequality between men and women, and she is really kind to not kill her husband."
From this essay, we can see the characteristics of Bai Yang's article: innovative, sharp literary style, chaotic logic, changing concepts, and making trouble.
Thinking of this article, Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing. He said, "Mr. Bai Yang's evaluation of historical figures is still very novel, and I admire it very much. As for "The Ugly Chinese", just read it as a novel with your brain, and you don't have to be too serious. Okay, the five questions have been answered, goodbye to everyone."
Kang Jianfei left in a car, and the next day there was a title in the newspaper: "The novel idea is novel, the novelist's words - Kang Jianfei's comment on Bai Yang"
Although Li Ao and Bai Yang are dissidents, they dislike each other. As soon as Kang Jianfei's so-called evaluation of Bai Yang, Li Ao jumped out and scolded Bai Yang's article to prove that Bai Yang himself was an ugly Chinese.
Bai Yang disdained Li Ao's attack. He had been in prison for a long time, and his temperament had long been as solid as a rock. After missing a literary exchange meeting in Taipei, he turned to Hong Kong and went to mainland China to see his daughter.
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to pay attention to such bad news. After arriving at the airport, he successfully avoided the reporters, left only two signatures and boarded the plane easily.
Yang Liqing looked at Kang Jianfei in the waiting room, but she didn't dare to go over and say hello immediately. She was afraid that too many people would cause trouble for Kang Jianfei to see it.
The two of them had seats next to each other, and several of Kang Jianfei's followers sat in the back row. After boarding the plane, Yang Liqing suppressed the excitement in her heart and greeted her with a clever smile: "Hello Mr. Kang."
"Okay," Kang Jianfei nodded at Yang Liqing, took off his coat and said casually, "Your pink sweater looks very good today, and it matches your temperament."
