Xiang Huaqiang came to have a drink because he wanted to see Kang Jianfei's face. He was not interested in Yang Dengkui, a colleague from southern Taiwan. After drinking for a while, he made an excuse to leave.
After Xiang Huaqiang left, Yang Dengkui finally got down to business: "Mr. Kang, you are an expert in making movies. I am definitely not as good as you in this aspect. But I still love the movie industry, "Pink Corps"
I spent a lot of effort to get the script of "The Movie," and I sincerely want to invite Ms. Lin to star in it."
Kang Jianfei did not agree immediately, but asked Zhu Yanping: "How far is the film preparation?"
Zhu Yanping said: "We are still in the process of casting, and we have already invited Liu Haoyi, Peng Xuefen, Yang Huishan, Ye Qianwen and many other actresses. We are just waiting for Miss Lin Qingxia's nod."
Just listening to the actresses mentioned by Zhu Yanping, we know that Yang Dengkui has put a lot of effort into this movie. Among them, Liu Haoyi is a TV star and a female star who has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is well-known in Taiwan; Peng Xuefen is an advertising star.
, has a fresh and beautiful appearance and is known as the "student lover"; Yang Huishan is very famous in Taiwan both as a host and an actress; although Ye Qianwen has not filmed any movies, she is Taiwan's new hot star in the past two years.
female singer.
These actresses belong to different TV stations, film companies and record companies. It is impossible for ordinary film producers to gather them together. I think Yang Dengkui used some special means.
Kang Jianfei said with difficulty: "DreamWorks has started the filming plan for "The Royal Sisters 2". Qingxia is going to the United States to film soon. She will not have time to take over boss Yang's "Pink Corps" for at least two months."
Yang Dengkui fell silent upon hearing this. This was his first time investing in a movie, and he was not sure that "Pink Corps" would be a hit. "The Royal Sisters" is a popular Hong Kong film in Europe and the United States, and now "The Royal Sisters" is going to have a sequel.
, is naturally much more important than "Pink Corps". No matter who I choose, I will shoot the former first.
Zhu Yanping looked at Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, and suddenly said to Yang Dengkui: "Boss Yang, with our current progress, we can only start the machine in half a month at the earliest. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Yang Dengkui rolled his eyes at Zhu Yanping. The schedules of so many popular stars in Taiwan have been arranged, but they were delayed for two months just for Lin Qingxia. This is equivalent to making other actors wait for two months in vain, and then delaying the filming time for at least one month.
, even if he is a gang leader, he can't act like this.
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: "Boss Yang, how about this? Let Li Saifeng play the role of Qingxia."
"Li Saifeng?" Yang Dengkui looked at Zhu Yanping.
Zhu Yanping nodded at him and said: "Li Saifeng has been very popular in Taiwan in the past two years, so she would be good. However, Li Saifeng is weak in literature and has always made romantic and literary films. Such as "Pink Corps"
Can she do an action movie?"
When Yang Dengkui heard what Zhu Yanping said, he immediately cast a questioning look at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of it? Li Saifeng is my only apprentice. From the beginning, I trained her as an action actress, but I just didn't have time to show it."
Zhu Yanping was overjoyed and asked: "Mr. Kang, are you saying that Li Saifeng knows kung fu?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "I know some tricks, and my fighting might not be as good as a street gangster, but it's enough for making a movie."
"Since Li Saifeng is Mr. Kang's favorite disciple, there is no problem at all." Zhu Yanping said with a smile.
However, Yang Dengkui did not agree immediately, but said a little worriedly: "If we invite Li Saifeng, will we get stuck during the film review?"
Yang Dengkui's words made the private room quiet. The ordinary people in Taiwan didn't know about Kang Jianfei being banned by the Information Bureau, but everyone in Taiwan's film industry knew it.
Although the Information Bureau has not announced that it will ban the entire DreamWorks, it is obvious to all that DreamWorks' movies cannot be sold in the Taiwan market. As a result, Li Saifeng, who was originally very popular in Taiwan, suddenly could not receive movies from Taiwan in the first half of this year.
The film was scheduled because Taiwanese investors had some concerns.
As for Lin Qingxia, she is a special case. Unless Lin Qingxia runs to the mainland, even if all Oriental DreamWorks is blocked, the Taiwan Information Bureau cannot block Lin Qingxia.
Kang Jianfei asked Li Saifeng to replace Lin Qingxia in Taiwan to shoot "Pink Corps". In fact, he had his own plan in mind, which was to dispel the concerns of the Taiwanese producers and normalize the cooperation between DreamWorks and the Taiwanese film industry.
Unexpectedly, Yang Dengkui revealed the key to the problem on the spot, which made it difficult for Kang Jianfei to handle.
Seeing that the negotiation between the two parties had reached an impasse, director Zhu Yanping suddenly said: "Mr. Kang, if you want to communicate with the Information Bureau and lift the blocking order, you can find someone to try."
"Oh?" Kang Jianfei was overjoyed upon hearing this and asked with great interest, "I've asked Mr. Mei Changling, but he said he couldn't help. Who in Taiwan can speak with more weight than him?"
Zhu Yanping explained: "It's not that Mr. Mei can't help, it's just that it's not convenient for him to talk about this matter. After all, it involves the mainland."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Director Zhu, is the person you mentioned convenient?"
Zhu Yanping smiled and said: "He doesn't need to tell me, I just need him to introduce someone to Mr. Kang, and we can solve the problem by sitting down and having a meal."
Kang Jianfei thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Zhu Yanping was talking about, so he asked: "Director Zhu, please clarify who that person is."
Zhu Yanping looked at Lin Qingxia and said softly: "The great director Liu Jiachang"
When Lin Qingxia heard Liu Jiachang's name, her expression became quite complicated.
Although Lin Qingxia made her debut with Qiong Yao's "Outside the Window", seriously speaking, it was Liu Jiachang who really made Lin Qingxia famous. Liu Jiachang was involved in Gu Minglun's suicide a few years ago. At that time, Taiwanese public opinion overwhelmingly believed that it was Liu Jiachang.
Gu Minglun was forced to die, forcing Liu Jiachang to leave the United States to avoid the limelight.
Gu Minglun was Lin Qingxia's best friend. During the funeral, Lin Qingxia personally carried the coffin to see him off. And Liu Jiachang could be regarded as Lin Qingxia's mentor. Liu Jiachang's wife Zhenzhen was also Lin Qingxia's best friend. As a result, her mentor forced her friend to death, which made Lin Qingxia
It was very uncomfortable for Qingxia to be caught in the middle. So when Zhu Yanping mentioned Liu Jiachang, Lin Qingxia felt uncomfortable all over.
Liu Jiachang was a godfather-level presence in Taiwan's music scene in the 1970s, and he was also the most popular commercial director in Taiwan. Even a film layman like Yang Dengkui knew Liu Jiachang.
Yang Dengkui was also very surprised and said: "Didn't Liu Jiachang run away to the United States?"
Zhu Yanping said: "I just came back last month."
Kang Jianfei only knew about Liu Jiachang, but didn't know him well. He asked, "Liu Jiachang is so powerful. Can he influence the opinions of the Information Bureau?"
Zhu Yanping explained: "Liu Jiachang is of course not that capable, but he has a very good personal relationship with Jiang's second son, Xiao Wu, and he has connections in the Ministry of National Defense and the Information Bureau."
Kang Jianfei hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to ask Xiao Jiang's son Jiang Xiaowu for help. DreamWorks can't make much money in Taiwan a year. If he makes a big deal, the money I send won't even be enough."
Zhu Yanping smiled and said: "I heard that this second young master of Jiang is not interested in money, but he is very interested in beauty."
Zhu Yanping's words were very clear, he asked Kang Jianfei to find beauties for Jiang Xiaowu.
Kang Jianfei suddenly felt a chill. Turning around, Lin Qingxia was glaring at Zhu Yanping with a sullen face.
How did Lin Qingxia’s good friend Gu Minglun die that year?
The most widely circulated theory is that Jiang Xiaowu fell in love with Gu Minglun's girlfriend and drove Gu Minglun to death for that woman. Liu Jiachang was just Jiang Xiaowu's scapegoat.
Now in front of Lin Qingxia, Zhu Yanping came up with the idea to ask Kang Jianfei to give a woman to Jiang Xiaowu. It would be strange if Lin Qingxia was not angry.
Although Kang Jianfei didn't know the specific details, Lin Qingxia, who had always been kind to others, suddenly became angry and he knew that this matter could not be discussed anymore.
Kang Jianfei winked at Zhu Yanping, started to take Yang Dengkui to drink again, and said, "Come on, come on. I won't talk about work today, but I'd like to toast Boss Yang."
Yang Dengkui is also a person who is always good at observing people's emotions. He laughed out loud: "Easy to say, easy to say. I'll do it first out of respect for Mr. Kang!"
After drinking for more than half an hour, Kang Jianfei helped Yang Dengkui, who was drunk and confused, to go out. He took the opportunity to whisper to Zhu Yanping: "Director Zhu, help me contact Liu Jiachang. I will go to Taiwan in a while."
"Okay." Zhu Yanping was overjoyed. Although he has made several movies with good box office in the past two years, he can only be regarded as a second-rate director in Taiwan, and his reputation is not very good. Now that he has Yang Dengkui as his backer, if he gets passed
If Kang Jianfei is involved in this matter, things will be much easier in the future.
Zhu Yanping and Yang Dengkui's younger brother helped Yang Dengkui back to the hotel. Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin went downstairs side by side. Just as he was about to open the car door, Lin Qingxia said with an ugly face: "You have drunk, I will drive."
Kang Jianfei had no choice but to give up the door handle to Lin Qingxia and said, "Are you still angry?"
Lin Qingxia sat in the cab and said angrily: "A Fei, don't have anything to do with the Jiang family in the future. None of those three princes have a good reputation."
Kang Jianfei buckled his seat belt with a smile, leaned over and kissed Lin Qingxia on the face and said, "Okay, I will listen to Sister Qingxia."
Hearing Kang Jianfei rarely call her "sister", Lin Qingxia's sullen face finally showed a smile, pushed Kang Jianfei away and said: "Okay, sit down quickly, the smell of alcohol is terrible."
Lin Qingxia started the car, while Kang Jianfei leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about how to get on Jiang Xiaowu's line.
Travelers are not omnipotent. The last time they went to the mainland to shoot "Shaolin Temple", Kang Jianfei made a major mistake. He only knew that Li Lianjie was signed by Shaw Brothers two years later and also made several movies. Taiwan
There is no punishment for Shaw here.
But sometimes, the time difference is completely different within a few months, let alone two years.
The political atmosphere in Taiwan today is completely different from that in Taiwan two years later. Kang Jianfei was simply in the crosshairs.
Afraid that continuing to reuse Li Lianjie would anger the Taiwanese authorities again, Kang Jianfei has loaned Li Lianjie out and is currently filming "The Shaolin Kid" for Great Wall Film Company.
This time, given the opportunity to relax, Kang Jianfei would seize it no matter what, and the chance of success seemed to be very high.
The Taiwan Information Bureau is actually very ambiguous in its handling of "Tai Chi Sam Feng". It only blocked DreamWorks movies during the review, and listed Kang Jianfei as a news sensitive person to restrict reporting. However, the Taiwan authorities did not restrict Kang Jianfei from entering Taiwan, so
Kang Jianfei could go to Taipei at any time to shoot "A Better Tomorrow".
Being banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau, Kang Jianfei could still survive if he only lost the box office.
The biggest impact on the company is that other film companies in Hong Kong do not cooperate with DreamWorks due to the ban by the Taiwan authorities. Oriental DreamWorks has a large number of people, and it is impossible to film movies all the time. Kang's class
, the Raptors stunt team, as well as the company's actors, behind-the-scenes, etc., can reduce administrative expenses and even make a small profit by cooperating with other companies.
As long as the Taiwan authorities' ban on DreamWorks is not lifted, employees of Oriental DreamWorks will have no choice but to film for themselves. If this continues, it will seriously affect employees' confidence in the company.
In a daze, the slightly drunk Kang Jianfei discovered that he had parked his car and arrived home. Just as he was about to open the door and get out of the car, he suddenly patted his head and said: "Qingxia, go to the airport, Xiaoguan is coming back today."
Xiaoguan is Guan Zhilin. Lin Qingxia has long suspected that the relationship between the two is abnormal, but now she has to drive to pick up her love rival in person because she is afraid that Kang Jianfei will cause an accident while driving drunk. 8
