The bruises and palm marks on Zhao Yazhi's face had almost completely dissipated the day after they moved to the broadcast channel. They cannot be seen at all unless you look closely.
The filming of "On the Beach" is still going on, and Zhao Yazhi has returned to work. Nothing unusual has happened in the past few days. Zhao Yazhi's husband has not come to the set to look for her. It seems that there is a cold war to see who can go first.
Can't help but compromise.
On the other hand, the relationship between Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi progressed rapidly. In just a few days, the two became like siblings, which aroused the jealousy of many men.
After finishing work that day, they all went upstairs. Kang Jianfei also walked with Zhao Yazhi. Zhao Yazhi said funnyly: "Afei, you don't have to see me off anymore. It's just a few steps. How can I be kidnapped?"
Kang Jianfei said disgusting words in a natural tone, and said with a smile: "Haha, that's not possible. Anyway, as long as I am here, I will be your flower protector. I have to watch you enter the house before you can leave with peace of mind."
Zhao Yazhi lowered her head and said nothing until she reached the door of her house, then she said softly: "Afei, thank you for taking care of me these days. But, are we too close... Today I heard someone in the crew gossiping.
.”
Kang Jianfei said sincerely: "Sister Zhi, I admit that I like you very much, but don't worry, I won't stalk you and destroy your family like that Huang Yuanshen. As long as I can take care of you and see you happy every day
I feel so satisfied.”
Zhao Yazhi was deeply moved by such straightforward words. She bit her lower lip and said: "A Fei, there are actually many women who are better than me. You are so talented, you will definitely find someone better than me in the future... But still.
Thank you for your affection for me, I will cherish it very much, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!" Kang Jianfei watched Zhao Yazhi enter the house, then whistled and went home.
Before he entered the room, he saw Wang Jing, a fat man, coming down from upstairs. He smiled at Kang Jianfei from a distance and said, "A Fei, I got you the information you asked for, but it's not very detailed."
"Oh, that's great. I'll treat you to a good meal some other time." Kang Jianfei took a few pages of information handed over by Wang Jing, glanced at it twice, and then opened the door and entered the house with the little fat man.
Hu Juncai was squatting in the living room. Kang Jianfei did not seek apprenticeship from Li Jiading, but he took advantage of him. Unable to stand Hu Juncai's stalking in the past few days, Li Jiading finally agreed to accept Hu Juncai as his apprentice and even served him apprenticeship tea.
pass.
After making two cups of tea and sitting down, Kang Jianfei opened the information Wang Jing brought. This is some information about Hong Kong cinema lines.
Before Kang Jianfei made a movie, he wanted to know as much as possible about the situation in the Hong Kong film industry, and information about these cinemas was a top priority.
The first page shows the number of cinemas in Hong Kong over the years. The peak was in 1969, when the number of cinemas in Hong Kong reached a terrifying 180. Since then, it has been decreasing year by year. By last year, there were only 75 cinemas left, but this year new ones have opened.
5 cinemas, so now there are 80 cinemas in Hong Kong.
The second page is an introduction to several major theater chains in Hong Kong. Kang Jianfei was greatly surprised by the content of the information, because he remembered that there were three major theater chains in Hong Kong in the early 1980s, namely Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess. However, the information in his hand showed that
, there were four major theater chains in Hong Kong at this time: Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Lydia and Shuangnan.
Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas are easy to understand, but what is going on with Lydia Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas?
This information was obtained through Wang Jingtuo's relationship, and the content was not too detailed. Kang Jianfei pointed at the information and asked, "Axiang, what is the origin of Lisheng Cinema and Shuangnan Cinema?"
Wang Jing explained: "The Lydia Cinema Line originally only had four cinemas, which were established by the Lei family. They have been leased to Jiahe in the past few years and are equivalent to the sub-theaters of the Jiahe Cinema Line. However, this year the Lydia Cinema Line has
Jiahe Cinemas has been separated from the cinema chain. I heard that Boss Lei intends to enter the film industry and is connecting with other retail cinemas in order to form a large cinema chain that can compete with Jiahe Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas."
"Oh, that's it!" Kang Jianfei finally understood. It turned out that Lisheng Cinema was the predecessor of Golden Princess Cinema, and the name Golden Princess did not exist at that time.
Wang Jing continued: "As for the Shuangnan Cinema Chain, they generally only screen mainland films and Hong Kong left-wing films. It is difficult for other movies to be screened in the Shuangnan Cinema Chain."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Mainland background?"
Wang Jing nodded and said: "Yes, Shuangnan Cinema Chain has a mainland background. The films of the three leftist film companies, Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian, are all released in Shuangnan Cinema Chain. Moreover, Shuangnan Cinema Chain is very strict in censoring films.
There is even a special review committee. Regardless of pornographic and violent scenes, as long as the word "sexy" appears in the movie's lines or promotional posters, it will be impossible to pass the review of the Shuangnan Cinema Review Committee. The relevant content can only be removed
It must be cut before it can be approved for release.”
Kang Jianfei was shocked when he heard this. These film review standards must drive people crazy.
Wang Jing explained in detail: "Hong Kong's commercial films generally will not be screened in Shuangnan Cinemas, because as long as the films have been screened in Shuangnan Cinemas, they will not be able to enter the Taiwan market, and their production companies will be banned.
Taiwan's Censorship Office put it on a blacklist. "Seventy-Two Tenants" filmed by Shaw Brothers a few years ago was screened at the Zhujiang Cinema, a subsidiary of Shuangnan Cinemas. The Taiwanese authorities immediately launched an attack after finding out about it.
The company was almost stuck at that time, and no movie could be sold in Taiwan for more than two months. Later, I heard that boss Shao personally went to Taipei to smoothen the relationship."
After hearing this, Kang Jianfei immediately ruled out the Shuangnan Cinema Line in his mind. Taiwan is a big market for Hong Kong films and must not be discarded.
Continuing to read, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that there was actually a Western movie theater called "Anle Cinema Line" in the information, which specialized in showing European and American films.
Why is Kang Jianfei surprised by Anle Cinema?
Because the first foreign-funded cinema in mainland China, Nanguo Cinema in Shenzhen, was invested by Anle Pictures. Not only that, Jiang Zhiqiang, the boss of Anle Pictures, is the well-deserved number one figure in the Chinese film industry after 2000.
Known as the driving force behind Chinese-language films, he was called "Asia's Hero" by Time magazine.
In the 21st century, any Chinese-language film that wants to be sold in Europe and the United States must seek help from Jiang Zhiqiang for distribution, otherwise it will not be able to be placed in a good theater chain or a good schedule. For example, Lao Mouzi's "Hero", Li Eucalyptus's "The Sleeper"
"Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released through Jiang Zhiqiang's operation and caused a sensation in North America.
In his previous life, Kang Jianfei was an ace photographer for a large state-owned film and television company. How could he not have heard of such a big shot in the industry as Jiang Zhiqiang?
It's a pity that the Anle Cinema chain at this time only screened Western films. Otherwise, Kang Jianfei would have liked to go to the Jiang brothers with his own movies, because the Jiang brothers have very good characters and reputations in the industry.
Except for Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Shuangnan, Lisheng, and Anle Cinemas, the others are all independent cinemas.
Among these independent cinemas, there are both luxury theaters such as the Lee Stage, and rural and neighborhood cinemas that specialize in providing film services to villagers and neighbors.
After reading them all, Kang Jianfei already had a rough idea of the situation in Hong Kong cinemas, and he was thinking about his next step.
Seeing Kang Jianfei deep in thought, Wang Jing couldn't help but ask his doubts: "A Fei, you asked me to find this information, don't you want to invest in making a movie yourself?"
There is no need to hide this kind of thing. Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I have such a plan. I am going to open a film company by myself. What do you think, do you want to work together in partnership?"
"I'm not a company material, so I'll just keep working as a screenwriter and see if I have the chance to direct a movie next year." Wang Jing declined with a smile. Although he also wanted to make movies and start a company, he didn't.
I will not partner with Kang Jianfei.
Wang Jing also saw that Kang Jianfei was a very capable and visionary person, but being capable did not mean he would be successful. Because Kang Jianfei had only been from the mainland for two months and knew very little about Hong Kong, he was so eager to start a business.
When the company makes movies, it can be described as being ignorant of the sky and the earth.
In Wang Jing's imagination, if Kang Jianfei opened a film company, he would go bankrupt within three months, and he would not follow him to seek death.
Kang Jianfei invited Wang Jing to form a partnership, but he just said it casually. He already knew that Wang Jing would not agree, so he did not mention the topic any more.
…………
…………
In the next few days, Kang Jianfei took the time to visit two film companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. One only had two cameras and some lighting equipment; the other didn't even have professional equipment, just a few employees who were just hanging around and waiting to die.
That slightly more formal film company heard that Kang Jianfei wanted to acquire it and actually offered 400,000 yuan. Kang Jianfei turned around and left. The boss quickly lowered the price to 150,000 yuan, but Kang Jianfei was not interested at all.
Kang Jianfei had too little money, and every penny had to be spent wisely. It was not worthwhile to spend a large amount of money to acquire an existing company, so he might as well register a new company himself.
Kang Jianfei realized how stupid he was when he asked his cousin Wu Chenggang about it!
Kang Jianfei had never come to Hong Kong to open a company in his previous life. He only knew that it was very troublesome to open a film and television company in mainland China, so he took it for granted that it would be similar in Hong Kong.
In fact, registering a company in Hong Kong is very simple. Except for finance, insurance, banking and other industries that need to apply for special licenses, other companies can operate any legal business across industries. For example, Kang Jianfei now registers a law firm and can use this company to make movies.
, no need to provide any further conditions or proofs.
After listening to this, Kang Jianfei burst into tears. Capitalism is freedom! If I had known it was so simple, why would I go to great lengths to acquire other people's bankrupt companies?
After being instructed by his cousin Zhou Mingfang, Kang Jianfei came to a business company called "Huitong" and asked the salesman: "Excuse me, what do I need to provide if I register as a film company?"
The salesman replied very professionally: "The company's Chinese and English name, the company's business scope, the company's shareholder names and copies of ID cards, plus the 800 yuan agency registration fee you paid our company."
Kang Jianfei was surprised: "That's all? Don't you need to verify capital or provide a company address or something?"
The salesman shook his head and said: "No, we can provide you with the company address. However, the Hong Kong government stipulates that the registered capital of a company must be at least 3,000 yuan, and a one-thousandth of a cent tax will be charged."
"Thank you very much. Please leave me your business card. I'll think of a company name before I bother you." Kang Jianfei said happily.
After leaving the business company, Kang Jianfei hailed a taxi and was about to think of a name for his future company when he suddenly saw a magazine on the taxi driver's seat.
The cover of the magazine shows two celebrities, a man and a woman, who are stills of Zhao Yazhi in "Chu Liuxiang" and Huang Yuanshen in "The Two Proud Heroes". The introductory title on the cover is even more exciting, written in bold red font.
Tao: "Xiao Yu'er and Su Rongrong - A crazy man hates a woman for having an extramarital affair".
