""The Royal Sister"," Lin Qingxia opened the script, read the synopsis of the story, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it a literary romance film?"
Kang Jianfei asked: "Do you like making literary and romantic movies that much?"
Lin Qingxia immediately shook her head...
It's not a question of whether she likes it or not, but as soon as Lin Qingxia entered the film industry, she was labeled as a literary and romantic film. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of it, which made her troubled.
During this period, Lin Qingxia also tried to transform and went to Hong Kong to star in Li Hanxiang's "A Dream of Red Mansions". Zhang Aijia played Lin Daiyu, and she played the role of Jia Baoyu.
Also, Lin Qingxia was competing with dozens of actresses across Taiwan to be the heroine of "Eight Hundred Heroes". In order to succeed in the audition, Lin Qingxia spent a month learning to swim.
Both movies were very successful, but after they were filmed, people still remembered Lin Qingxia in the literary and romantic movies. It seemed that her image on the screen had been finalized when she made the first movie.
Lin Qingxia smiled helplessly and said: "I have been approached by directors from Hong Kong to film in the past, but they were all literary and romantic films."
Kang Jianfei said proudly: "Will I, Kang Jianfei, follow the trend when I make movies? Only others follow my style. I made "Happy Ghost", and after it was released, Hong Kong started shooting a lot of comedy ghost movies; I made "Mr. Zombie", and after it was released,
There are a lot of zombie movies in Hong Kong. I can be sure that after the release of "The Royal Sisters", Hong Kong will have a lot more police and gangster movies."
Seeing Kang Jianfei's pretense, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you so confident?"
Kang Jianfei said: "I have confidence in my directorial skills, and I also have confidence in your acting skills and potential."
Lin Qingxia sighed: "But I don't have confidence in myself. I have never made a martial arts film like this. I'm afraid I won't be able to perform well."
Kang Jianfei said: "This is no problem at all. In terms of action scenes, you can use a double for some scenes. Of course, you must also train for at least half a month. You still have to know some basic things."
Lin Qingxia flipped through the script, but she still couldn't muster confidence because she had never done this kind of movie before. She was afraid that the performance would not be good, that the movie would be a hit after it was filmed, and that it would ruin the perfect image she had left on the screen.
.
Kang Jianfei asked: "Don't you want to transform? Act in literary and romantic films all your life? Go back to Taiwan and see how much the box office of literary and romantic films is this year. Among the top ten box office in Taiwan, only one is a literary and romantic film, and it was you who left Taiwan.
The one we filmed before.”
Lin Qingxia was hesitant with the script. Of course she wanted to change her career, but there was no such way! Let an actress who only made literary and romantic films suddenly go to action movies to become a star.
If you take too big a step, it’s easy to make mistakes!
Kang Jianfei suddenly turned around, put his hands on Lin Qingxia's shoulders and said, "Believe me, you can succeed."
Lin Qingxia, who was being held down by the shoulders, wanted to push Kang Jianfei away, but when she saw Kang Jianfei's sincere and expectant eyes, she felt a little guilty - Director Kang trusted her so much, but she was hesitant and thinking wildly.
, it’s really inappropriate.
Kang Jianfei added: "The investment in this movie is at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Do you think I will just talk nonsense? Even if the movie fails, you will not lose anything, and you will still earn a salary. I don't think so.
Not afraid, why are you worried and hesitant?"
Lin Qingxia was right. Kang Jianfei was so confident as an investor. What was she afraid of as an actor?
"When is this movie going to be filmed?" Lin Qingxia asked, she finally made a decision.
Kang Jianfei said happily: "It will take at least a month to prepare, but you must go to Hong Kong first. I have set up a martial arts class, and someone there will teach you basic martial arts movements. When you can practice well, I will probably prepare too."
It’s almost done.”
Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "You agreed without asking how much the salary will be?"
"Oh, by the way, how much is the salary?" After Lin Qingxia asked, she even thought it was funny and said that her mother had been talking about things like salary before, and Lin Qingxia had never cared about it.
Kang Jianfei said: "How about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars?"
Lin Qingxia's salary five years ago had already reached NT$1 million, which is equivalent to HK$200,000. In recent years, the salary has increased even more, but it has never exceeded NT$2 million. The salary in Hong Kong is slightly higher, and Kang Jianfei gave NT$500,000.
The price in Hong Kong dollars is quite reasonable.
After the two reached an agreement, Lin Qingxia immediately went to go through the procedures to go to Hong Kong. Kang Jianfei also breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't convince Lin Qingxia, his one-month tourist visa would soon expire.
The reason why Kang Jianfei chose Lin Qingxia to film "The Royal Sister" was because Lin Qingxia was so heroic and "The Invincible" left a deep impression on Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei couldn't guarantee that "The Invincible" would have a good box office at this time. After all, when Xu made this film, the aesthetic taste of Hong Kong audiences for movies had changed a lot compared to now.
And "The Royal Sister" is a movie with a heroic female surname. Thinking about Lin Qingxia wearing a police uniform and fighting with people, Kang Jianfei found it very exciting.
Kang Jianfei chose not the first "Royal Senior Sister", but "Royal Senior Sister 2". First of all, he couldn't find a strong foreign girl to partner with Lin Qingxia for a while, and secondly, the plot of "Royal Senior Sister 2"
Fuller than the first one.
Ten days later, Kang Jianfei successfully abducted Lin Qingxia back to Hong Kong.
Just a few days before they returned to Hong Kong, the headline of the entertainment section of Singapore's "Lianhe Wanbao" published a blockbuster news with pictures and facts.
"Kang Jianfei holds hands with Lin Qingxia, a talented man and a beautiful lady are in secret love"
"... Southeast Asia's most beautiful woman, Lin Qingxia, has been avoiding the United States for several months due to relationship problems. A few days ago, Hong Kong's great talent and miracle director Kang Jianfei suddenly appeared in Hawaii and had an intimate trip to Wilkie Beach with Lin Qingxia..."
In the photo, Kang Jianfei was wearing a pair of shorts, while Lin Qingxia was wearing a bikini. The two were holding hands and running on the beach. Kang Jianfei laughed while running, while Lin Qingxia was a little shy and panicked.
Fortunately, the photo is in black and white, otherwise with the rosy sky and sea as the background, the effect would be even more amazing and romantic, just like lovers running and playing on the beach.
At this time, "Mr. Zombie" was in theaters in Southeast Asia. Kang Jianfei's reputation in Southeast Asia was rising rapidly, and Lin Qingxia was known as "the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia." As soon as this report came out, "Lianhe Wanbao" immediately sold out of stock, and the second
It was picked up by the media in Southeast Asia every day.
On the third day, this report reached Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time, causing a huge sensation.
"Ming Pao Weekly" spent a lot of money to buy the original photo and used it directly as the full-color cover of the issue. The scene of Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia running hand in hand on the rose-colored beach can catch people's attention from a distance.
It attracted people to buy it. This issue of "Ming Pao Weekly" was reprinted four times in a row, and the sales volume exceeded the terrifying 50,000 copies.
There was even more of a sensation in Taiwan, and all the newspapers and magazines that reported on the incident were sold out.
More than half a year ago, the love triangle between Qin and Lin became a hot topic. Until Lin Qingxia hid in the United States, the media continued to stir up speculation.
Now Lin Qingxia is actually in love, and the object of her love is not Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, nor Zhao Ning, the only boyfriend Lin Qingxia has admitted before, but actually the young Hong Kong director Kang Jianfei!
At this time, "Mr. Zombie" is still being dubbed into Mandarin and has not been released in Taiwan, but Kang Jianfei's "Original Scenery of Hometown" is being released.
As soon as the scandal between the two broke out, "Original Scenery of My Hometown" became a hit, with sales exceeding 100,000 copies in an instant.
At the same time, because many Taiwanese people do not know much about Kang Jianfei, the media cannot find more information about the two to report. The following reports are divided into two lines. One is to stir up Lin Qingxia's previous scandals;
The second is to introduce and report Kang Jianfei’s various deeds.
Why did he travel to Hong Kong from the mainland and become a writer within two months? He paid two years of royalties in advance to make a movie. His first movie broke a record of over 10 million, and his second movie broke another record of over 20 million. He became the fastest self-made man in Hong Kong.
He is a multi-millionaire, and he knows other martial arts stunts, such as tearing out gangsters' throats with the eagle claw technique, etc., all of which have been reported by the Taiwanese media.
Taiwanese readers have long been familiar with Lin Qingxia's previous scandals, and they won't have much reaction if they read more. But Kang Jianfei's report is different. Most Taiwanese readers know this person for the first time and are more interested in him.
.
Although "Happy Ghost" has grossed tens of millions of Taiwan dollars at the box office, firstly, the audience is mostly teenagers, and secondly, they don't care too much about the director and the second male lead, Kang Jianfei.
Therefore, ordinary people in Taiwan are completely unfamiliar with Kang Jianfei. Only people in the film industry know that there is such a powerful director in Hong Kong.
When the romance between Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia first came out, Taiwanese people were still wondering where Kang Jianfei came from and why he could fall in love with Lin Qingxia, the most beautiful woman in Taiwan.
But when Kang Jianfei's various deeds were reported by the media, Taiwanese readers were shocked. Why is this person even more legendary than what was written in the novel?
Because of Kang Jianfei's status as a mainland Hong Kong refugee, a small number of people believe that Kang Jianfei has a poor background and unknown origins, and is not worthy of dating Lin Qingxia.
Most people believe that Kang Jianfei is young, promising, handsome and talented, and is far more suitable for Lin Qingxia than the married Qin Han and the playboy Qin Xianglin. A talented man matching a beautiful woman is the best destination for Lin Qingxia.
Faced with this situation, Taiwanese film studios who bought copies of "Mr. Zombie" began to frantically urge to speed up the Mandarin dubbing. The day after Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia returned to Hong Kong, "Mr. Zombie" was released in Taiwan ahead of schedule.
, the publicity was directly "a work directed by Lin Qingxia's lover and the great talent Kang Jianfei".
However, those Taiwanese film producers and cinema operators who were not able to release the film in the first time rushed to Hong Kong, hoping to obtain the second-round screening rights of "Mr. Zombie" in Taiwan.
The bleak Taiwan film market this year has made these theater operators and film producers jealous, and now they are taking advantage of this shocking scandal to make a lot of money through the operation of "Mr. Zombie".
Kang Jianfei took Lin Qingxia and Song Bing back to Hong Kong, and was recognized before they even left the airport lobby. More than ten minutes after they left the airport, the first batch of reporters came after hearing the news, but they came to nothing.
Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, who had just returned to Hong Kong, knew nothing about this matter.
