Oriental DreamWorks only had the same few employees in the first half of the year. It was not until the summer release of "Mr. Zombie" that it hired a few more people. Although three vice presidents were appointed, more than half of the following departments were not established. This time Kang Jianfei
Prepare to expand the company's scale again, at least the production department must reach a scale that can start two dramas at the same time.
As the number of employees increased, the office area also had to be expanded. Kang Jianfei also rented the two office rooms next door. They are currently being renovated and are expected to be ready for office after New Year's Day.
Pan Yingzi's advantage is that she knows a lot of people in the industry, but when it comes to her filmmaking abilities, she can only be considered average. That's why Kang Jianfei let Pan Yingzi continue to be the Artist Department Manager, leaving the Production Department Manager position vacant.
Come out. As for Pan Yingzi's title of vice president of film and television, if she doesn't do a good job and other capable people join the company in the future, Kang Jianfei will also replace her.
When it comes to film talent, Chen Xunqi is actually slightly better than Zeng Zhiwei. However, Kang Jianfei once shouted at Chen Xunqi in another time and space that although this person is talented, his heart can never be settled. Just like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
Like Huang Yaoshi in the movie, he has to learn everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astrology, and divination. This guy sometimes learns directing, sometimes flying, and sometimes sticks, and he can't calm down to do management work.
Of course, this is all secondary. After all, in another time and space, Chen Xunqi also worked as a serious film company boss for several years, and also produced several blockbuster movies. Kang Jianfei is more worried about Chen Xunqi's current situation.
His management skills were insufficient, so he asked Zeng Zhiwei to be the production manager and Chen Xunqi to be Zeng Zhiwei's deputy. They would be trained for two years first.
While Zeng Zhiwei was still overjoyed, Kang Jianfei asked again: "What's the progress of Xinyi City's "Best Partner"? When are they going to start filming?"
Kang Jianfei asked very appropriately, and did not ask questions related to the content of the film, so as not to make things difficult for Zeng Zhiwei. Of course, he did not need to ask, Kang Jianfei knew what the film was about better than Mecca and others.
Zeng Zhiwei answered truthfully: "It is still being planned, and the actual launch will have to wait until at least the beginning of the new year."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It seems they are trying to compete with me for the summer slot next year."
Zeng Zhiwei hesitated for a while, then adjusted his position as the production manager of Oriental DreamWorks, and came up with an idea: "The Best Partner" is very similar to "The Royal Sisters". Next year's summer release, we can shoot "The Royal Sisters 2" to block it.
"
Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded. He has now thought clearly. In another time and space, in terms of plot and scenes, "Royal Senior Sister" is actually no worse than "The Best Partner". The reason why the latter is more famous is because of this film
The movie is the pioneer of this type of film, so it has a very good reputation at the box office. "The Royal Sister" came out much later, and except for the female protagonist, it cannot bring much novelty to the audience.
Now that "The Royal Sister" has become a pioneering film, "The Best Partner" can only follow behind and eat dust.
"Don't worry about him at New Art City." Kang Jianfei smiled and took out a movie plan from the drawer, handed it to Zeng Zhiwei and said, "I plan to make a movie after the new year. You are responsible for the preparations for this movie. Manpower
I'll hire them myself, the company's production department is planning to expand, and we'll move into a new office after New Year's Day."
Zeng Zhiwei took the planning book and looked at it. He was surprised and said: ""Dao Ma Dan". Mr. Kang, are you planning to make an opera film?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Look down."
Zeng Zhiwei read the general plot introduction and realized that this was a drama from the early Republic of China. He continued to read and saw the list of actors: Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, Liang Xiaolong, Dong Wei, Guan Shan...
When Guan Zhilin poured wine on Chen Rongmei's face, Zeng Zhiwei was also present. He knew that she was Guan Shan's daughter, but he didn't expect that Kang Jianfei would actually give her a heroine role this time.
Guan Zhilin plays Bai Niu in "Daoma Dan". This role was played by Taiwanese singer Ye Qianwen in the original version. But at this time, Ye Qianwen had just returned to Taiwan from the United States. She was still a little-known singer, and Kang Jianfei was too lazy to spend time.
try to find.
What's more, didn't Guan Zhilin beg Kang Jianfei to give her a heroine role? Now is the time to give her an explanation.
Kang Jianfei's only worry is that the scenes of the three heroines in the film are very demanding on their acting skills, and he is afraid that Guan Zhilin's acting skills will not be up to par when the time comes.
Kang Jianfei said: "The Peking Opera performance of this play is very important. I want you to help contact Pink Juhua. Dong Wei is Fenjuhua's apprentice. You can ask him to go with you. Before the New Year, I want Lin Qingxia,
The three of them, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, studied in Pink Juhua’s Peking Opera class for two months. In addition, they also need to recruit some Peking opera martial arts students from Pink Juhua’s Peking Opera class for the filming of the movie. As for the location selection, it is estimated that it will take a long time to complete the filming in Hong Kong.
It’s difficult. I need to go to Macau or some places in Southeast Asia to shoot. Please help me pay attention to the filming locations.”
Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said: "No problem, just leave it to me."
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Kang Jianfei nodded to Zeng Zhiwei, indicating that he had nothing to do and could leave.
Zeng Zhiwei went out with the movie plan, and his secretary Chen Shuli came in and said: "Mr. Kang, Miss Pan said that the protagonist of "Happy Ghosts Have Summer Vacation" has been selected. Do you want to take a look at it?"
Kang Jianfei asked curiously: "Are those girls here?"
Chen Shuli said: "Yes, just outside."
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Kang Jianfei said and walked outside, picking up the song he "composed" for "Happy Ghosts on Summer Vacation".
As soon as he stepped out of the office door, Kang Jianfei heard the chirping voices of several girls.
When Kang Jianfei walked not far away from some beautiful girls, Gao Zhisen whispered to the female voices, and the girls immediately became quiet.
Pan Yingzi handed a folder to Kang Jianfei and said, "A Fei, this is their information."
Kang Jianfei took the folder, but looked at the four girls. Only one of them he could recognize at a glance, and that was Li Lizhen.
Fourteen-year-old Li Lizhen does not have the sexy charm of a future third-level movie goddess. Her eyes and face reveal a kind of innocence, and there is still a little baby fat on her face.
The remaining three girls looked familiar to Kang Jianfei, but he couldn't even pronounce their names.
Inside the folder were forms and materials, with photos of the four girls attached, their ages, heights, family circumstances, etc. written on them.
"Ahem..." Kang Jianfei opened it and suddenly remembered who the other three were. He was suddenly surprised and choked on his own saliva and coughed repeatedly.
Damn, besides Li Lizhen, the names of the other three girls are: Li Meifeng, Li Yanshan and Xie Ning.
Gao Zhisen saw that Kang Jianfei's face looked strange and asked nervously: "Mr. Kang, is there any problem?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head in amusement and said: "No problem, I'm just curious how you selected them."
Pan Yingzi laughed and said: "What else can we do? Just place a casting advertisement in Oriental Daily, and more than 30 girls came to audition the next day. It took us eight days, from
Four of them were selected from more than three hundred girls."
Kang Jianfei wanted to say: You guys are so awesome. You selected a third-level film goddess, an Asian sister, and two Hong Kong sisters in eight days.
"Very good, very good, I'm very satisfied." Kang Jianfei nodded in approval and returned the folder to Pan Yingzi.
When Gao Zhisen heard this, a stone suddenly fell to his heart. He was afraid that the actor he chose, Kang Jianfei, would not be satisfactory.
Kang Jianfei handed a few songs to Gao Zhisen and said: "This is the song I wrote for "Happy Ghost's Summer Vacation". You can take it and see where it goes."
Gao Zhisen quickly took the song sheet, thinking that Mr. Kang was so awesome that he wrote the song casually.
Kang Jianfei praised several girls and then left the company to find Guan Zhilin.
After Kang Jianfei left, the girls started chattering again.
Xie Ning looked at Kang Jianfei's leaving figure and said with admiration: "Mr. Kang is more handsome and classy than the guy in the movie. Moreover, he is so talented. He can write songs and make movies."
Xie Ning is from Guangdong. She is 17 years old and came to Hong Kong only a few months earlier than Kang Jianfei. Her parents are both mainland singers and actors. Since Kang Jianfei became famous, Xie Ning's parents have used Kang Jianfei as an example to encourage Xie Ning.
.It is said that Kang Jianfei came here from swimming. He was only two years older than Xie Ning, but he started a company from scratch. He asked Xie Ning to learn more.
Under the influence of her parents, Xie Ning admired Kang Jianfei so much that as soon as she saw the casting advertisement in Oriental Daily, she immediately went to Oriental DreamWorks to audition.
Li Meifeng, Li Yanshan and Li Lizhen came here purely to become big stars. The first part of "Happy Ghost" exceeded 10 million at the box office in Hong Kong. Now that the second part is about to be filmed, everyone knows that as long as they become the stars
The heroine can become famous immediately, so within a few days more than 300 girls came to audition.
Seeing Xie Ning's eyes shining with stars, Li Yanshan joked: "A Ning, you don't have a crush on Mr. Kang, do you?"
Xie Ning blushed and said shyly: "No, I'm telling the truth."
Li Meifeng was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she clapped her hands and shouted: "I'm red, my face is red, and you still don't admit it!"
Li Lizhen also yelled: "If we sign into DreamWorks, Aning, you will have many opportunities."
Xie Ning was thin-skinned, covered his blushing cheeks with both hands, lowered his head and said, "It's all nonsense, I won't pay attention to you."
The four girls were chattering together. Pan Yingzi looked on with a smile and did not interfere. Gao Zhisen shouted: "Keep your voice down, this is the company, don't disturb other colleagues in the company."
After shouting several times, the girls calmed down, and Pan Yingzi said: "Okay, there is nothing to do today. Remember to sign the contract with your parents tomorrow." (To be continued) 8
