Outside the gate of Chunqiu Drama School, Hui Yinghong dragged her brother Hui Tianci's hand and ran away. As she ran, she said, "Fourth brother, hurry up. If you are later, it will be too late."
Hui Tianci shook off her hand and said: "Oh, Fifth Sister, I just chose an ordinary supporting actor. I won't even be given a frontal shot. What are you in a hurry for?"
Hui Yinghong said anxiously: "That's Mr. Kang selecting the actors himself. Even if he is a supporting actor, he can still leave an impression on Mr. Kang. Look at Dong Ge (Dong Wei). After he joined Oriental DreamWorks, he filmed in Taiwan
I starred in the movie "The Wrong Ride" and now my salary has risen to 80,000."
Hui Tianci followed Hui Yinghong into the school. After a while of silence, he suddenly said: "Fifth sister, what do you think about me joining the Kang family class?"
"It's okay that you joined Kang's class last year. Now that you join Kang's class, you are just following others and playing small roles. The most important thing is to leave a good impression on Mr. Kang." Hui Yinghong said.
Hui Yinghong has a total of eight brothers and sisters. The Hui family used to be a wealthy family. Unfortunately, Hui Yinghong's father was defrauded of all his money. His father was a scholar, and after he got out of this business, he stayed behind closed doors every day. Hui Yinghong's
Several brothers were sold off to study Peking Opera, while the mother took her daughters to sell candy on the street to support the family.
Hui Tianci started working as an actor in Shaw Brothers eight years ago, but up to now he can only play roles such as thugs, bandits, and bandits.
Hui Yinghong had a better time. She was the only goddaughter of the great director Chang Cheh. Unfortunately, Chang Cheh had left Shaw Brothers to form his own Changhe Film Company in Taiwan. He only brought a few male disciples with him and did not take care of Huiying.
Hong. Now Hui Yinghong is following Liu Jialiang. Unfortunately, Liu Jialiang has not filmed many movies in the past two years. Hui Yinghong has always been in the awkward position of being half popular but not purple.
Hui Tianci, Dong Wei, Lin Zhengying, Meng Hai and others were all fellow students, and it was Dong Wei who quietly informed Hui Tianci that Kang Jianfei was casting for the Spring and Autumn Drama School this time.
Hui Tianci stayed in this school for five or six years, and soon found an acquaintance to ask for directions, and came to a practice room. There were more than ten students standing in a row in the room. Kang Jianfei's eyes swept over them.
If he only chooses supporting roles, Kang Jianfei doesn't have to come in person. He just wants to see if he can choose a suitable female stand-in for the three girls. Dong Wei is the only one in Kang's class who knows how to be a swordsman, but the three girls are of different heights, so it's impossible to give them all a try.
Dong Wei will be the stand-in. Moreover, if there is a female stand-in, the effect will be much better than that of a male stand-in.
Kang Jianfei was quite assured of the skills of these students. He mainly chose the students' height and figure. After scanning for a few times, he pointed at three of the female students and said: "You will be Miss Guan Zhilin's stand-in. You will do it."
Miss Lin Qingxia’s stand-in, and you, you will be Miss Zhong Chuhong’s stand-in. As for the others, they can only play ordinary troupe bit parts..."
"Bang!"
The door to the practice room was suddenly pushed open. Kang Jianfei turned around and couldn't help but feel happy. The woman at the door looked familiar.
The school teacher who accompanied Kang Jianfei to choose the actors was originally dissatisfied because of the intruder, but when he saw the intruder, he was surprised and said: "Tianci, why are you back?"
"Hello, senior sister." Hui Tianci was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Hui Yinghong dragged her brother to Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, I heard that you are casting. My brother and I will come and try too."
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "This is about choosing a stuntman. You are a female star of Shaw Brothers, would you be willing to be a stuntman?"
Hui Yinghong chuckled and said: "The main thing is to accompany my brother. My brother wants to join DreamWorks as an actor. I wonder if Mr. Kang can give him a chance."
Kang Jianfei thought it was interesting. If an actor like Hui Tianci had joined Oriental DreamWorks last year, he would have been reused sooner or later. Unfortunately, people think DreamWorks is a small temple and would rather stay in Shaw Brothers and play a small role than come here. Now Oriental DreamWorks
When the fire started, some people tried their best to squeeze in, hoping to go to DreamWorks to work.
If Hui Tianci applied directly to the company, he would definitely not have much chance of being reused, so Hui Yinghong dragged him to let Kang Jianfei look over him, maybe he could leave an impression on Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei ignored Hui Tianci and instead smiled at Hui Yinghong: "I'm not interested in your brother, but if you come to DreamWorks, I can promise to make a movie for you."
As soon as Guan Zhilin heard what Kang Jianfei said, she immediately walked to him and reached out to pinch Kang Jianfei's waist to express her dissatisfaction.
"Take a movie for me?" Hui Yinghong was surprised and happy.
Nowadays, if you ask who is the number one director in Hong Kong, nine out of ten people will say Kang Jianfei.
Chang Cheh and Chor Yuan are all in the past. Makkah, Hung Kam-bo, John Woo, Tsang Chi-wai and others are considered blockbuster directors. Xu Ke was initially well-received but not a hit, but the movie "Ghosts, Horses, Wisdom and Stars" he went to New Art City to shoot
, is currently being screened at Golden Princess Cinema, and it can be considered a high-ranking movie.
Only Kang Jianfei, whether he is a partner or a competitor, has to admit his status as the number one director in Hong Kong.
The movie "The Royal Sister" enabled Lin Qingxia to successfully transform and successfully enter the Japanese and American markets, winning unimaginable overseas box office for Hong Kong films.
There is a popular saying in Hong Kong film circles now, whoever Kang Jianfei shoots becomes popular, and Lin Zhengying is the best example. In this year’s Spring Festival, Princess Golden will be released by Hong Jinbao, and Lin Zhengying’s follow-up film "Zombie Taoist" is in Hong Kong
It earned more than 16 million yuan at the box office.
Now Kang Jianfei suddenly said that as long as Hui Yinghong joined DreamWorks, he would help her make a movie. This made Hui Yinghong's heart skip a beat and she almost agreed.
Seeing that Hui Yinghong was still hesitating, Kang Jianfei said casually: "If you don't want to, forget it."
Hui Yinghong said quickly: "Mr. Kang, I do!"
Kang Jianfei chuckled and said, "Let your brother and you report to DreamWorks tomorrow."
After Hui Yinghong and her sister said goodbye to Kang Jianfei, they left the practice room in a daze. Hui Yinghong asked her brother, "Fourth brother, am I not dreaming? Mr. Kang said he wanted to make a movie for me."
Hui Tianci shook his head and said: "I think it's a bit uncertain to be the protagonist. I'll probably play a supporting role for Miss Lin."
Hui Yinghong said with a smile: "Even if I play a supporting role in Mr. Kang's movie, it would be better than now. Mr. Liu (Liu Jialiang) said last year that he wanted me to be the heroine in a movie, but it's been half a year and he didn't even have the budget in place.
, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the second half of the year to start shooting. Now that Shaw Brothers is really in trouble, my godfather (Chan Che) went to Taiwan to film less than three years after returning to Shaw Brothers. My godfather even thought that Shaw Brothers had no future, so I still stayed.
What are you doing there? It’s better to find a new owner as soon as possible.”
Hui Yinghong used to be a contracted actor with Shaw Brothers, but her contract expired the year before last year, and she has been hanging around with Liu Jiaban. People who belong to Liu Jiaban can leave at any time.
After the brother and sister left, Kang Jianfei also asked the students to disperse, leaving them only Qibo's contact number.
"Let's go, I'll take you to lunch." Kang Jianfei said to the three girls.
Guan Zhilin asked happily: "Have we finished the Peking Opera class?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "How many more days do you want to continue practicing?"
"No, no, I don't want to stay any longer." Guan Zhilin said repeatedly, holding Kang Jianfei's arm.
Lin Qingxia didn't say anything, packed up her things, and left with Kang Jianfei and Guan Zhilin.
Zhong Chuhong saw Lin Qingxia and Guan Zhilin clinging to Kang Jianfei, one on the left and the other on the right, and said with some amusement: "You guys go, I want to go home early to be with my mother."
After training together for more than a month, the three girls have developed a very good friendship. Guan Zhilin let go of Kang Jianfei, ran to hold Zhong Chuhong's hand and said, "Let's go together. It's only the morning, what's the fun in going home so early."
Zhong Chuhong was dragged into the car by Guan Zhilin, and she could only awkwardly go to dinner with them.
Guan Zhilin snatched the passenger seat, leaving Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong to sit in the back seat. Kang Jianfei chatted and laughed with them from time to time while driving.
Lin Qingxia suddenly asked: "A Fei, do you really want to help that Hui Yinghong make a movie?"
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "I think her fighting scenes were good, I just said it casually. I definitely won't be the director. At most, I can help her write a script and let others film it."
"DreamWorks currently has limited resources. It already has three actresses including me and Ah Hong, as well as Li Saifeng. It can't take care of any other actresses. The most important thing is to recruit someone who can last.
If the male actors come in, otherwise in future male-themed movies, the male protagonists will have to go to other companies to borrow them." Lin Qingxia said bluntly. If it was just a normal relationship, she would never say this. Lin Qingxia is a female character.
The friend's identity is giving Kang Jianfei advice.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "You have to cultivate actors who are capable enough by yourself. It's difficult to recruit ready-made actors. Now the company only has two good actors, Dong Wei and Chen You. Liang Xiaolong's aura is really not enough, otherwise he can cultivate them."
.By the way, this guy Zeng Zhiwei can direct and act, but only in comedies."
In fact, DreamWorks still has Ng Meng-tat, but before Zhou Xingchi showed up, Kang Jianfei would not use Wu Meng-tat too much.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry at this time was quite strange. There was no real entertainment agency. Artists were either signed to film companies or record companies. Only very big names were not signed to anyone. Naturally, people came to hire them.
Due to this situation, if companies such as DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers want to make movies, they will give priority to their own contracted artists, and will only hire actors from other companies when they are short of suitable actors.
After an actor becomes famous, it is naturally profitable for the company. For example, if DreamWorks makes Li Saifeng famous, DreamWorks will share more than 30% of Li Saifeng's salary for each external film.
Don't think that Kang Jianfei has a bad heart. In fact, DreamWorks takes very little of the commission, leaving at least more than 60% for the actors. Even after 2000, many employees of Japanese and Korean entertainment companies filmed commercials and appeared on variety shows.
I can only get 30% of the income, and the remaining 70% is divided up by the agent and entertainment company. That is the real black. 8
