Xu Anhua's skin is rough and her appearance is average, but her eyes are very sharp. Together with her short ear-length hair, she exudes a capable temperament.
This is the third time Xu Anhua has met Kang Jianfei. The first time was when she was filming "Crazy Heist". Kang Jianfei went to the crew to find Zhao Yazhi to star in "Shanghai. The Beach". At that time, Kang Jianfei was just an assistant director who had just been valued by Wang Tianlin.
The second time we met was on the plane going to Taipei to attend the Golden Horse Awards. Kang Jianfei had transformed into a famous director and film company boss.
After Xu Anhua handed the script of "The Story of Hu Yue" to Kang Jianfei, he began to look at the famous young man in front of him with some curiosity. Kang Jianfei is more temperamental now than when they met last year, and Xu Anhua said no
I wonder what this temperament is, or it is the so-called temperament of a successful person.
Kang Jianfei read the script very quickly, and it only took him more than 20 minutes to read the entire script. Although he had planned to invest in the filming of this art film, Kang Jianfei still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Ms. Xu, last time
When we met, I said that in my eyes, a good movie is a movie that can make money. If you make this movie, I'm afraid not many Hong Kong audiences will like to see it."
I'm going to be rejected again...
Although Xu Anhua was mentally prepared before coming, she was still a little disappointed when Kang Jianfei said this.
Kang Jianfei saw her disappointed expression and suddenly laughed again: "But, this movie can still win awards. For Sister Zhi's sake, I accepted the script. How much budget do you plan to have?"
Xu Anhua said: "Not much, 1.5 million."
Due to rising prices and labor, film production costs are also rising. Today's investment of 1.5 million is almost equivalent to Kang Jianfei's one million when he was filming "Happy Ghost". You can imagine how fast Hong Kong's economy has developed in the past two years.
.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, but I will decide the hero and heroine."
When Xu Anhua heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied, but then he thought about it. Since Kang Jianfei was going to win the award, he naturally wanted to use this film to praise the actors of DreamWorks. This is a reasonable thing.
Xu Anhua asked: "Who does Mr. Kang want to be the leading actor and actress?"
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "Zhou Runfa plays Hu Yue, Zhong Chuhong plays Shen Qing, Hui Yinghong plays Li Lijun, and Wu Mengda plays Asan."
Xu Anhua is quite satisfied with Zhou Runfa, Ng Mengda and Zhong Chuhong, but the second female lead actor is not very in line with her wishes. She said: "Hui Yinghong has always played beating girls, is she qualified to play this kind of literary film?"
Kang Jianfei said: "In terms of acting, there are no bad actors, only bad directors. Ms. Xu, do you understand what I mean?"
Kang Jianfei was the investor, so Xu Anhua could only give in and said: "Okay, it's just the four of them."

Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.
More than a dozen passengers wearing rustic sportswear came out. They chatted non-stop along the way, attracting many people's sideways glances.
These people all spoke Mandarin and were obviously from the mainland. They also had two or three bald heads, and they looked really eye-catching.
This group of people is the Chinese Wushu Exchange Group. The deputy leader is martial arts coach Yu Hai, and the leader is Zhang Ling, an official from the Hong Kong and Macao Office of the State Council.
Yu Hai is the one who plays Tan Zong in "Shaolin Temple". This person has been traveling and performing with the Chinese Wushu Troupe in the 1960s. He has visited more than 30 countries and is now the captain and head coach of the Shandong Wushu Team.
The position of deputy leader of the Chinese Wushu Exchange Group this time was originally the captain of the Beijing team. Unexpectedly, Deng Gong still remembered such a person as Yu Hai and appointed him as the leader.
The movie "Shaolin Temple" was discussed by the central government last year, and Zhang Xinyan, the director of Hong Kong's Great Wall Film Company, was invited to shoot in the name of the State Council. The purpose is to use this movie to increase contact with the outside world and improve China's
The impression in the minds of people in other Asian countries.
Zhang Xinyan started casting for the movie last year and started shooting two months ago. After careful planning, it is only two-thirds of the way through.
Due to the tight pressure from the central government, Zhang Xinyan had to stop filming midway and let people go, and continued filming after Li Lianjie and Yu Hai returned from an exchange performance in Hong Kong.
The people responsible for picking up the martial arts group at the airport were people from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency and the Great Wall Film Company. In the end, more than ten people left the airport in the Great Wall Company's filming vehicle.
"Wow, this is Hong Kong, there are so many high-rise buildings."
"There are many cars, but there are fewer bicycles than in Beijing. Don't Hong Kong people ride bicycles when they go out?"
"Look at that car without a roof, and it's running so fast!"
"..."
In the martial arts exchange group, more than half of the martial arts athletes came out for the first time, lying behind the car windows and chattering while driving.
"Quiet, quiet!" Zhang Ling, the leader of the group, was overwhelmed by the noise from these teenage boys. He yelled several times before he stopped everyone and said, "Remember, the martial arts exchange group represents the party.
You are here to communicate with the government. Your every word and deed represents the dignity and dignity of the country. Therefore, when you arrive at the hotel later, you are strictly prohibited from making loud noises. If you have anything you don’t understand, just ask me and Coach Yu. Don’t do it.
Damage to hotel property. During martial arts exchange visits, it is strictly prohibited to accept gifts from Hong Kong compatriots privately. If others really want to give them, all gifts must be handed over..."
As soon as Zhang Ling finished talking on the phone, the martial arts athletes who had been making a fuss like sparrows just now were all sitting upright, without squinting, like eminent monks who were meditating and meditating.
After arriving at the hotel, the martial arts team members were arranged into various rooms. Someone from the Xinhua Branch handed Zhang Ling an invitation and said: "The Hong Kong compatriots know that you are coming and invite you to attend the movie premiere."
Although Zhang Ling is an official in the Hong Kong and Macao Office, he usually only receives news about Hong Kong and Macao from Xinhua News Agency. It was also his first time to come to Hong Kong. After getting the invitation, he asked curiously: "What is a movie premiere?"
A comrade from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency explained: "It is a celebration event held when a well-made movie is screened for the first time."
Zhang Ling found it strange that a ceremony was also held for the release of the movie, and secretly laughed at the extravagance and wastefulness of Hong Kong people. However, he was a government official and would not speak casually, but began to look through the invitations.
It wasn't until he saw Kang Jianfei's name that Zhang Ling asked in surprise: "Is this the Kang Jianfei who received the internal reference?"
The comrade from the Hong Kong branch nodded and said: "That's him. His new film "Daoma Dan" will premiere the day after tomorrow. All members of the martial arts exchange group are invited to participate."
Zhang Ling asked strangely: "Why would he take the initiative to invite us?"
The comrade smiled bitterly and said, "How do I know? He is the boss of a film company. Logically speaking, he would try his best to avoid getting involved with you."
Zhang Ling said with a smile: "Since others are not afraid, of course we can't spoil the fun." After speaking, Zhang Ling said to the deputy leader Yu Hai, "Coach Yu, let the team members have a good rest tonight and don't let them run around. There will be a martial arts exchange performance tomorrow.
Go to get familiar with the venue in the morning and perform officially in the afternoon. There is no assignment the day after tomorrow, so you can take everyone around Hong Kong, but be careful and don’t lose people. There is a movie premiere in the evening, everyone goes together
See a movie……"
While the two were talking, more than a dozen young martial arts team members were surrounding Li Lianjie and asked: "Xiao Li, you are the only one in the team who has been to Hong Kong. Tell us what fun things there are here?"
Li Lianjie said with a grimace: "I've said it many times. I was only 8 years old when I came to Hong Kong last time. How can I still remember it clearly?"
Team member Gao Hong said: "I can remember things even when I was 8 years old. I remember a little bit."
Li Lianjie said: "I really forgot..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Hai with a shaved head pushed open the door and said: "There will be a performance tomorrow, and I will take you to Hong Kong to watch movies the day after tomorrow..."
"Oh!!!!" the team members cheered collectively.

On July 26, 1981, the premiere of "Dao Ma Dan" was held at the Golden Princess Cinema.
At the same time, a strange incident occurred in the Hong Kong film industry that broke the eyes of countless people:
In order to snipe Princess Jin, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Cinema, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, two former friends and now mortal enemies, actually announced that they would join forces.
"The Brave", produced by Shaw Brothers and directed by Yuan Heping, was suddenly promoted and released in both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest theaters one week after its release in Golden Harvest Cinema. This movie only had a box office of 5.61 million in parallel space.
The movie had already earned 6.47 million box office before the release of "Daoma Dan".
"The Brave Man" is about to be released, and Cheng Long's "The Young Master" is scheduled to premiere on the same day as "Swordsman". A grand premiere will also be held, and it will also be screened in a dual-line screening of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.
Kang Jianfei couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the news. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest had a clear plan to use Yuan Heping's "The Brave Man" to compete with Chen Rongmei's "Modern Master" directed by Wu Yusen, and Cheng Long's "Master Dragon"
Kang Jianfei's "Dao Ma Dan", Hong Jinbao's "The Ghost" is pitted against Makka's "The Best Partner", and Wu Siyuan's "Achan's Job" is pitted against Tsang Chi-wei's "Mr. Zombie 2".
The three largest theater chains in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Wu Kang Cao, have naturally become the topics of follow-up reports by the entertainment media.
In the first round of the theater war, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest won a complete victory, because the box office of Wu Yusen's "Modern Master" was just over 4 million, which was a lot less than the box office of "The Brave and the Brave".
The second round of the theater war is between Cheng Long's "Young Master" and Kang Jianfei's "Dao Ma Dan". The two movies also had a fierce promotion war during this period. TVB successively let Cheng Long appear on several TV programs.
The three girls, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, also frequently appeared together on LiTV as the "Three Dream Girls".
Beautiful women are always more attractive, let alone three stunning beauties. When Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, and Zhong Chuhong appeared together for the first time as the cover girls of "Oriental Fashion", that issue of "Oriental Fashion" sold out
Out of stock. Portraits and promotional posters of the three women are now everywhere. You can buy them for just one yuan a piece. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. You can
