Although Chen Huimin wanted to wait for him at the hotel, Kang Jianfei still drove to pick Chen Huimin up in person.
As soon as we got off the bus at the entrance of the hotel, two middle-aged men in suits came over and said, "Please follow me. Brother Qiang and Brother Sheng are above."
Zeng Zhiwei had dealt with people in the society before, but he had never met a big boss like Xiang Huaqiang. He was so nervous about the upcoming "Hongmen Banquet" that he even walked a little shaky.
Chen Huimin lit a cigarette himself and handed the cigarette case to Kang Jianfei and Zeng Zhiwei.
Zeng Zhiwei smoked the tobacco and lit it, vigorously washing the tobacco to calm himself. Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "No, I don't smoke."
"How can a man not smoke?" Chen Huimin said jokingly and put the cigarette case back.
Kang Jianfei stretched out his hand that he had carefully cared for over the past two years. The calluses on his hand had long since disappeared. The skin was often soaked with secret potions, making it whiter and more tender than a woman's hand. Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Smoking will damage your hands and cause damage to your fingers."
The sensitivity decreases.”
Chen Huimin looked at Kang Jianfei's well-maintained hands, then at his own thickened joints and calloused mouth due to martial arts training, and said in surprise: "The kung fu you practice is quite unique."
The three of them soon followed Xiang Huaqiang's younger brother to the private room. After entering, Chen Huimin was the first to laugh and said: "Oh, I haven't seen Brother Qiang for several years, and I am getting more and more satisfied."
Xiang Huasheng didn't know Chen Huimin at all, but Xiang Huaqiang had a deep impression of Chen Huimin. When Xiang Huaqiang was only in his teens, Chen Huimin was already a 14k double bonus, and both of them came out very early.
Making movies is quite frowned upon among club members.
"Brother Min is here too, what a rare visitor!" After Xiang Huaqiang shook hands with Chen Huimin and hugged him, he said to Kang Jianfei and Zeng Zhiwei, "Please sit down, both of you."
Zeng Zhiwei rushed to Hua Qiang and bowed to thank him, then carefully moved his chair and sat down.
Kang Jianfei sat down on the bench politely. He had never met the Xiang brothers before, but now he said with a smile like an old acquaintance: "The two big guys' film company has opened. Why?
I didn’t even notify you, so I can go and celebrate, little brother.”
Xiang Huaqiang is the kind of person who is quite generous to his friends and very cruel to his enemies, while Xiang Huasheng is much more gentle, polite and wearing glasses, and looks more like a businessman than a club boss.
Xiang Huasheng saw that Kang Jianfei looked familiar. He also smiled and said: "Mr. Kang was so prosperous a while ago, and I wanted to invite you when Yongsheng opened. I was afraid that you would look down on the small company and refuse to come. If I had known Mr. Kang
You are so enthusiastic, we will definitely send you an invitation."
Chen Huimin echoed from the side: "After today's drink, everyone has gotten to know each other. It's not too late to say congratulations now."
Zeng Zhiwei was also quick in his thinking, so he quickly picked up the wine and said: "Yes, yes, this glass of wine will bring great wealth to Yongsheng Film Company and make every movie a box office hit."
Although the Xiang brothers did not take Zeng Zhiwei seriously, they could not extrapolate this kind of auspicious congratulation to them, otherwise it would be too unlucky. Xiang Hua won and Xiang Huaqiang both raised their glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.
If Kang Jianfei made a toast at this time, then the atmosphere of tonight's banquet would be complete, and the Xiang brothers would probably give him some face in the future.
However, if Kang Jianfei also proposes a toast, then he is undoubtedly trying to convince Xiang Hua to give in. In the future, Yongsheng will not be able to keep "borrowing" directors and actors from DreamWorks at will from time to time.
It's still the same sentence. It's not enough to be tough, but you can't show weakness without reservation. If you want to have weight in the other person's heart, you must show your muscles appropriately.
After Zeng Zhiwei and the Xiang brothers had a drink, Kang Jianfei held a wine bottle in one hand and helped Zeng Zhiwei pour wine casually. But he looked at Xiang Huaqiang and said, "I heard that Yongsheng is planning to make a movie?"
Xiang Huaqiang stared at Kang Jianfei's hand when pouring wine, and saw that hand withdraw. The xo poured out of the bottle was just level with the rim of the cup. He grinned and said: "I have a script in my hand, but I don't have a director.
Because of my popularity, I would like to invite director Zeng Zhiwei from your company to film it."
Kang Jianfei asked again: "I don't know if Yongsheng's crew is complete. If there is still a shortage of manpower, DreamWorks can help."
Xiang Huasheng on the side smiled and said: "Of course that's good. Who doesn't know that the people at DreamWorks are first-class in making movies."
"Well, you two can go to DreamWorks and choose whoever you need. But," Kang Jianfei said with a change of tone, "Zeng Zhiwei is my production manager. He is currently supervising the production of a movie and is also preparing a movie.
It’s a new movie, and I don’t have time to help the two big guys shoot the movie. How about this? I’ll let other directors in the company help you shoot the movie.”
These words made the atmosphere at the wine table freeze. On the surface, Kang Jianfei was respectful to the Xiang brothers and gave them enough face, but in reality he didn't buy it, and his dissatisfaction was clearly expressed.
Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng approached Zeng Zhiwei because of his ability as a director. Now Kang Jianfei can just change anyone to be the director. What kind of thing is this?
Xiang Huaqiang's face darkened, but Xiang Huasheng asked with a smile: "Who do you think Mr. Kang would be a better director?"
Kang Jianfei poured himself a drink and said: "I heard that the two of you are going to shoot an urban comedy. I accepted a guy named Huang Xia from Kang's class. He is really good at comedy."
Although Huang Xia is currently the leader of Kang's class, he is still a relatively good action director. How can he compare with Zeng Zhiwei?
"Pah!" Xiang Hua slammed the table, pointed at Kang Jianfei's nose and cursed, "Kang, don't be so shameless!"
The door of the private room was suddenly opened, and several club members rushed in and asked: "Boss, do you want to take action?"
Kang Jianfei cursed: "Get out of here, I'm talking to your boss, what's the matter with you?"
The club member who just spoke was Xiang Huaqiang's follower and bodyguard, and he was also a well-known red stick in Xinyi'an. How could that man stand being scolded by Kang Jianfei? He rushed over and hit Kang Jianfei on the head.
fist.
Kang Jianfei's body flashed, he grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it. Without much effort, he used inertia to push him onto the table, knocking over the table and moving the food and drinks.
Before Xiang Huaqiang could react, Kang Jianfei had already picked up two of his chopsticks, pressed his palms on the table, and thrust them down with the chopsticks.
Kang Jianfei didn't really want to fall out with the Xiang brothers, it wouldn't be good if he got popular.
I saw the two chopsticks passing through the man's fingers without any bias, and the heads of the chopsticks were inserted into the table at least an inch deep.
Xiang Huaqiang glanced at the two chopsticks and said to his subordinates: "Get out of here!"
Kang Jianfei then let the man go and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry for ruining a table of good food."
Xiang Huasheng ordered: "Hutou, ask the hotel to change a room."
The tiger head was the red stick who was subdued by Kang Jianfei. He looked at Kang Jianfei fiercely, rubbed his sore wrists and retreated.
Xiang Huaqiang laughed angrily, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Kang is really good at it."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "A little trick made the two big guys laugh."
Xiang Huasheng was better off, but both Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Huimin had practiced kung fu, so they could naturally see how difficult Kang Jianfei's little trick was.
To put it bluntly, Kang Jianfei could insert chopsticks into the tabletop an inch deep. As long as his accuracy was not too bad, he could have used the chopsticks as darts to kill them just now.
The hotel waiter came quickly to arrange a change to a private room. When he went out, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help wiping his sweat and whispered to Kang Jianfei: "Boss, stop doing this. Harmony makes you rich."
No more food was served this time, only a few bottles of foreign wine and some dried fruit snacks were ordered. Everyone sat on the sofa and drank, as if nothing happened just now.
The Xiang brothers are not fools. Kang Jianfei showed his attitude just now without hurting anyone, which is: I, Kang Jianfei, am not someone to be manipulated casually. We can deal with each other in the future, but don't go too far.
Kang Jianfei helped the Xiang brothers pour the wine, then he picked up the wine glass and laughed loudly: "Boss, my younger brother was impulsive just now. I am here to apologize to you two, and wish Yongsheng Company a prosperous future."
Xiang Huasheng smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say."
Xiang Huaqiang glanced at Kang Jianfei coldly, grinned and said, "I'll lend you some good words."
If it was a small role, Xiang Huaqiang would have been beaten up, or even made to disappear unknowingly.
But Kang Jianfei is very famous in Hong Kong, and if something unexpected happens, he will probably be on the headlines of the entertainment page. And with the toughness he just showed, he cannot be subdued by ordinary means, unless he sends gunmen to kill Kang Jianfei directly.
Hong Kong is now a society under the rule of law. It is not as chaotic as it was ten years ago. People in the society cannot act unscrupulously. Moreover, there is no essential conflict of interest between the two parties. If Xiang Huaqiang just asks someone to kill Kang Jianfei, he is really crazy.
If it's watery, not only will you not get any benefits, but it will cause you a lot of trouble.
Of course Kang Jianfei didn't want to fall out with the Xiang brothers, but wanted to make friends with them.
After showing toughness just now, it is natural to give them benefits now, because only visible benefits are the most effective way to "make friends".
Kang Jianfei took out two scripts from his bag, threw one on the coffee table and said: "This is the script you two got. To be honest, even if a big star is hired to film it, the box office will never exceed 3 million."
Xiang Huasheng said: "A box office of 3 million is enough. The budget for this movie is around 1.5 million. If it is sold to Nanyang and Taiwan, we can still make a fortune."
"Is this enough box office enough to satisfy you?" Kang Jianfei chuckled.
Kang Jianfei's tone made Xiang Huaqiang a little unhappy, but more importantly, he was losing face because his former Yongsheng Film Company made two movies in total, but all of them were box office hits, and the company went bankrupt in less than half a year.
Kang Jianfei threw another script on the table and said: "I have a script here. There is no problem with the box office of 5 million. If you are lucky, maybe the box office can exceed 10 million."
Brothers Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng all focused on the script, completely forgetting their conflict just now. 8
