Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Xunqi ran to Kang Jianfei's office and asked: "Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?"
Kang Jianfei asked strangely: "Have you never heard of his name?"
Zeng Zhiwei asked: "Is he famous?"
Kang Jianfei coughed awkwardly and said, "Schwarzenegger is very famous in the United States. You can find out by asking around there. However, he is not popular in the film industry, so his salary should not be too high."
After hearing this, Zeng Zhiwei said happily: "That's just right. He is well-known in the United States and his salary is not high. He is indeed the best candidate."
Kang Jianfei wanted to say more, but there was a knock on the door suddenly, and he said casually: "Come in."
Lin Qingxia came in. She was dressed quite cheerfully today. She was wearing white casual clothes, and her wide and straight trousers made her legs look slender and attractive.
Lin Qingxia put her hands in her trouser pockets and smiled at Kang Jianfei: "Fei, it's getting late."
Kang Jiafei said to Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Xunqi: "That's it, you can take care of the rest."
"Then I'll leave first." Zeng Zhiwei left very consciously, nodding to Lin Qingxia when he left. Chen Xunqi naturally followed.
Kang Jianfei took off his coat from the hanger and put it on, walked over and kissed Lin Qingxia on the forehead, hugged her slender waist and walked outside.
Guan Zhilin's father, Guan Shan, is losing money in business in Hong Kong and can't make much money from acting. Now he has immigrated to the United States and plans to get back together with his ex-wife Zhang Bingqing. Without Guan Shan in the company, Kang Jianfei is not afraid that scandals with other women will spread in the company.
Well, it’s just that you won’t admit it until you die.
The two dragged their hands downstairs and got into the car, heading straight to Lei Garden.
When he first heard Yang Dengkui's name, Kang Jianfei didn't react yet, but when he called Chen Qili to ask for details, he immediately remembered Yang Dengkui.
In another time and space, Yang Dengkui was definitely a famous figure in Taiwan's film and television industry. This man was imprisoned for hacking someone to death 10 years ago. He was released on bail because of the "amnesty for the world" after Chiang Kai-shek's death. After he was released from prison, he has been running a nightclub, and also used
Drugs, violence and other means controlled several artists to help him make money.
This person's investment vision is very accurate. Later, he not only invested in the filming of "Pink Corps", "The Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu", "The Great and Powerful" and many other blockbuster commercial films, but also served as the producer of "Sad City".
Won the Golden Lion Award. Although Yang Dengkui was the founding leader of the "Tiandao League", one of the three major gangs in Taiwan, he was later completely exonerated. He not only served as the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards. He was also the boss of Taiwan's first cable TV station.
Although Kang Jianfei is not familiar with the Taiwanese film industry, he has somewhat heard of such a heavyweight. Now that he has identified the person, he will naturally take the opportunity to make friends so that he can do things better in Taiwan in the future.
Kang Jianfei has always believed that making friends does not mean fawning. For a person like Yang Dengkui, it is useless no matter how much you fawn over him. And if he wants something from you, he will naturally come to you.
Nowadays, Yang Dengkui is only a relatively influential gang figure in southern Taiwan. Compared with his power, Wang Ke of the Wenshan Gang, whose hands and feet were lost to Kang Jianfei, is the best time to build a good relationship.
As the masters, Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia naturally have to be the first to arrive.
After waiting for a while, Xiang Huaqiang also came. This guy is currently working on a new movie with Wang Jing. It seems to be called "The Young Master", which is the same type as last year's "Hardcover Chasing Girls". The male lead was hired
It's Chen Baixiang and Alan Tam, and the female leads are Chung Chuhong, Liu Xuehua and Qian Huiyi.
After Xiang Huaqiang entered the private room and saw Lin Qingxia, he was slightly stunned. He smiled and shook hands with Lin Qingxia and said: "Ms. Lin, I have always been your fan."
Lin Qingxia knew that Xiang Huaqiang was from a club, so she shook hands and said with a smile: "It's not an honor."
Xiang Huaqiang glanced at the dishes on the table and asked Kang Jianfei, "Is there anyone else coming?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said with a smile: "A friend from Taiwan. I heard he is a figure in the Tao. I am not familiar with the people in the Tao and have no knowledge in this area. So I would like to ask Brother Qiang to come and control the situation."
Xiang Huaqiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He received a call from Kang Jianfei asking him to have dinner. He thought Kang Jianfei was going to make a movie with him, but he didn't expect to drag him out as a shield.
"People from the Sihai Gang?" Xiang Huaqiang asked. He heard that Kang Jianfei cooperated with the Bamboo Union Gang, so he subconsciously thought that the people coming today were from the Sihai Gang.
Kang Jianfei replied: "They are from the Northwest Gang."
Xiang Huaqiang laughed as soon as he heard this and said disdainfully: "Northwest Gang? I've never heard of it. Where does this small gang come from?"
As soon as Xiang Huaqiang finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room, and a loud noise came from outside - Xiang Huaqiang's younger brother left outside the door had a conflict with Yang Dengkui.
"Brother Qiang, there are a few Taiwanese people coming in, saying they are looking for Mr. Kang." The door was suddenly pushed open, and the red stick named "Tiger Head" who was subdued by Kang Jianfei last time came in.
Xiang Hua pinched his teeth and said, "I am a guest from afar, let him come in."
Yang Dengkui and Zhu Yanping were let in by Xiang Huaqiang's people, but several followers brought by Yang Dengkui were stopped.
As soon as he entered the private room, Yang Dengkui said angrily in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent: "Is this how Mr. Kang treats guests?"
Kang Jianfei laughed, stood up and shook hands with Yang Dengkui enthusiastically: "It was all a misunderstanding just now. Don't be angry, Mr. Yang. I sincerely want to have a drink with you."
It’s weird to be sincere!
Yang Dengkui slandered, but he didn't dare to fall out easily. After all, this is Hong Kong, not Taiwan. Those people outside the door are obviously of the Taoist nature, and if there is a Taoism, a strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snakes. He must be the one who suffers from the trouble in Hong Kong.
This is what Kang Jianfei wants. The so-called leveraging strength, he came to have a drink with Xiang Huaqiang today just to use the banner of Xin Ngee An as a tiger skin.
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xiang Hua Qiangxiang of Xinyi'an." Kang Jianfei said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xiang's father was a general of the Republic of China, from a well-known family."
After Yang Dengkui heard the name of Xin Ngee'an, what little prestige he had about him immediately disappeared. Now that the Taiwan Tiandao League has not yet been established, Yang Dengkui is just a leader of the Northwest Gang. How can he dare to play tricks with Xiang Hua?
In the 1970s, the most powerful gang in Hong Kong was 14k, but in recent years, the development of Sun Ngee Ann has exceeded 14k, becoming the number one gang in Hong Kong, with more than 100,000 brothers under its command.
Yang Dengkui seemed to have changed in an instant. He shook hands with Xiang Huaqiang respectfully and said, "Hello, brother Qiang. I am helping Yang Dengkui in the northwest."
Xiang Huaqiang saw that there seemed to be some quarrel between Kang Jianfei and Yang Dengkui. He pressed his fingers to his ears and deliberately asked in a contemptuous tone: "Which Northwest gang?"
Yang Dengkui was slightly angry, suppressed his displeasure and said: "Taiwan's Kaohsiung Northwest Gang."
"Oh, I'm from Kaohsiung, no wonder I haven't heard of it." Xiang Huaqiang chuckled and said, "Please sit down."
Yang Dengkui sat down angrily. When Zhu Yanping saw that Xiang Huaqiang was suppressing Yang Dengkui, he guessed that he was a big shot in Hong Kong and followed him to the seat without daring to show off his dignity.
One after another exquisite Cantonese dishes were brought to the table, but the atmosphere of this Hongmen Banquet was a little bad.
Kang Jianfei, the host, kept smiling, Xiang Huaqiang was stern and silent, Yang Dengkui was sullen and silent, and Zhu Yanping was too frightened to speak.
Seeing this situation, Lin Qingxia had no choice but to smooth things over, holding a glass of wine and saying: "Mr. Yang, Director Zhu, we are all from Taiwan, I would like to toast you two."
Yang Dengkui didn't want to make the situation tense, and he didn't dare to fall out with Xiang Huaqiang in Hong Kong. At this time, Lin Qingxia toasted and gave him a step down. She immediately picked up the glass and said with a smile: "Ms. Lin is interested. Actually, I
I have always been a fan of Ms. Lin, and inviting Ms. Lin to star in the movie this time is also to fulfill my dream of chasing stars when I was young."
Kang Jianfei waited for Yang Dengkui to drink the glass of wine, then he knocked the glass on the table and said: "There are many ways to hire people to make movies, and not everyone can force them. Mr. Yang, don't you think so?"
"Mr. Kang is right." Yang Dengkui said with a smile. How could he dare to fight with Kang Jian? Not to mention that Xiang Hua was strong enough to protect him in Hong Kong. Even in Taiwan, the Bamboo Union Gang was not something the Northwest Gang could afford to offend.
Yang Dengkui is a newcomer who has only half a foot in the film industry, and he has been hanging out in the south, and he is not very clear about the situation in Taipei. He is planning to make movies purely to make money. I heard that Lin Qingxia is the most popular, so he has to hire him regardless of life or death.
Lin Qingxia starred in "Pink Corps". When she didn't understand the relationship between Kang Jianfei, Lin Qingxia and the Bamboo Union Gang, she just took it for granted and sent people to Hong Kong to force her to appear.
As a result, after Kang Jianfei showed his tough attitude, Yang Dengkui asked someone to inquire and found out that the Bamboo Alliance Gang and DreamWorks were in a cooperative relationship. Lin Qingxia was protected by the Bamboo Alliance Gang and he could not force her to hire her.
The Northwest Gang and the Bamboo Union Gang, one in the north and the other in the south, usually don't have much intersection, and no one is afraid of offending the other. But Taiwan's film base is in Taipei, and all regular film companies in Taiwan are in Taipei City. Yang Dengkui wants to be in the film
If the circle develops, it is absolutely wrong to offend a big northern gang like the Bamboo Union Gang.
Yang Dengkui is a man who can afford to take things easy. He used to be young and energetic, and his energy to kill people with a knife after just a word of disagreement has long since disappeared. Now he still joins gangs mainly to make money. Several years in prison have made him calm.
Many of them, after thinking about it, actually took up their wine glasses and apologized to Kang Jianfei in public: "Mr. Kang, Miss Lin, what happened before was my fault, Mr. Yang, and you two don't remember the faults of others."
Kang Jianfei rushed to Hua Qiang and smiled, picked up the wine and stood up and said: "It's easy to talk, but in fact I also want to make friends with a hero like Mr. Yang."
Seeing that the conflict between the two of them had been resolved, Xiang Huaqiang also started chatting with Yang Dengkui with a smile. They were both from the same social circle, and when they were drinking and chatting, there was a sense of sympathy for each other, and the atmosphere at the banquet quickly became lively.
