Before returning to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei made an appointment with Anne Hurd and Cameron, and planned to give them a budget of another 2 million US dollars. As for the remaining money, they can just pay it in stages.
The meeting took place at Anne Hurd's house. After meeting Kang Jianfei, this woman's attitude was a hundred times better than last time. She invited Kang Jianfei and Guan Zhilin into the room with great enthusiasm, and flattered her: "Mr. Kang, you are really amazing.
, now the whole United States is talking about your movie.”
Kang Jianfei said modestly: "Among the Christmas movies this year, the box office number one is "Mr. Douce", and "Home Alone" only ranks second."
Anne Heard said: "But "Mr. Douce" was released a week earlier than your movie, Mr. Kang, and the box office has almost been surpassed by "Home Alone"."
"Okay, let's not mention this matter and talk about the progress of "Terminator"." Kang Jianfei changed the topic and asked.
Anne Hurd said: "James is making some models, and some actors have been selected, but the candidates for the Terminator robot have not been finalized yet."
"What do you think of Arnold Schwarzenegger?" Kang Jianfei admired the governor who was in his 60s and could still have sex with women five times a day.
"That bodybuilder?" Anne Hurd thought for a while and said, "It depends on what James wants. He only agrees."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Isn't Mr. Cameron here yet?"
As soon as Kang Jianfei finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
After Anne Hurd opened the door, Cameron, who was sweating, said, "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."
Anne Hurd asked: "Just now, Mr. Kang suggested that a bodybuilder from California should play the Terminator robot."
Although Arnold Schwarzenegger is famous in the bodybuilding world, he can only be regarded as a second-tier actor in the film industry. However, in the past two years, he has participated in several action movies, such as his outstanding performance in "The Royal Sisters 2".
The actor's fame is also growing rapidly.
"He?" Cameron shook his head and said, "I'm going to let a big guy close to 2 meters tall play the Terminator. Schwarzenegger is too small."
Kang Jianfei had a black line on his forehead. This was the first time he heard someone say that Schwarzenegger was too small.
"Let him try it out," Kang Jianfei said.
Cameron didn't pay much attention, nodded and said, "That's okay, let him try it."
In a parallel space, it was the founder of Orion Pictures who suggested that Arnold Schwarzenegger play the Terminator. Cameron was quite reluctant at first. If Kang Jianfei had not mentioned this matter, it would probably be the most classic
The robot is not played by Mr. Governor.
Kang Jianfei asked: "If you have any other difficulties, feel free to raise them."
Cameron shook his head and said: "As long as there are sufficient funds, I have no difficulty."
Anne Hurd was silent for a moment and asked Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, have you always had a cooperative relationship with 20th Century Fox?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "Of course, I have a good relationship with little Alan Ryder and Henry Chelsea."
"That's right," Anne Hurd said, "Orion Pictures may have some difficulties. I hope that "Terminator" can be distributed by 20th Century Fox."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "No problem, just tell Henry that this is my movie."
Cameron suddenly asked: "Mr. Kang, is "Home Alone" really a movie directed by you?"
"Yes, do you have any questions?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"No, I just wanted to make sure," Cameron praised, "that movie is great."
"Thank you." Kang Jianfei smiled.
"I remember you started auditioning for roles the day after we signed the contract last time, right?" Cameron asked, "Is what the newspaper said true?"
Guan Zhilin did not translate for Kang Jianfei, but proudly replied: "It only took 11 days in total from startup to post-production."
"Oh, God, it's unbelievable!" Cameron said in surprise. At the same time, he felt helpless and helpless. He wrote a movie script and delayed it for a year.
After starting the movie, others made a movie in less than two weeks and sold more than 100 million box office in the blink of an eye.
Anne Hurd asked: "Mr. Kang, have you ever thought about turning Oriental Film Company into a regular film company?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "I don't have this idea at the moment."
Anne Hurd asked with some disappointment: "Why? You have the talent for film production and the distribution channel of 20th Century Fox. You can make more money making movies in the United States than in Hong Kong."
Kang Jianfei gave a reason that left Anne Hurd speechless: "Because I don't speak English."
"Uh..." Anne Hurd choked and smiled bitterly, "Just find someone to help you manage the company."
Kang Jianfei asked doubtfully: "Ms. Hurd seems to be very interested in my company?"
Anne Hurd said: "I am also planning to open a film company, but unfortunately I have no funds. If Mr. Kang is interested in starting a Great Eastern Film Company, I think I can help you manage it."
Kang Jianfei knew very little about Hollywood. He had no idea that Anne Hurd would be the producer of a series of blockbuster movies such as "The Terminator", "Alien 2", and "The Incredible Hulk". However, he could be responsible for "The Terminator"
》Kang Jianfei is still very sure of her ability.
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "How about this? As a reading producer, Miss Hurd, you can come to me when you are short of funds, and I can be your long-term investor."
"Continue to give me 1% of the box office share?" Anne Hurd asked with a smile. Her 1% box office share is calculated directly based on the total box office, not an algorithm after excluding the exhibitor's share. If based on the producer's
In terms of square footage, it’s almost 3%.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Everything will be done according to Hollywood rules."
"Then it's settled. If there is a chance in the future, we will continue to cooperate." Anne Hurd said with a smile. For a producer like her, there is nothing better than finding an investor who can cooperate for a long time.
Happy.
"We are cooperating now." Kang Jianfei corrected, "If the box office of "Terminator" satisfies me, I will increase your and Mr. Cameron's remuneration."
Anne Hurd smiled and said: "I'm looking forward to it."
"That's it," Kang Jianfei looked at his watch, "it's getting late, I have to go back and pack my things and return to Hong Kong tomorrow."
"Goodbye!" Anne Hurd and Cameron said at the same time.
After Kang Jianfei took Guan Zhilin's little hand and left, Anne Hurd smiled and said: "Kang is a very charming Asian man."
Cameron laughed and said, "That's not what you said last time. You said he was a stingy vampire."
"That's just because I don't know him well," Anne Hurd shrugged. "The filming cost of "Home Alone" was less than 3 million, and now it has more than 100 million in box office. What a terrifying box office return.
This Chinese man is simply a genius."
"He is indeed a genius. It's incredible when I think about it now." Cameron sighed. "Actually, what I admire is his investment vision. No one in Hollywood is willing to invest in "Terminator", but he doesn't even have a script.
If you see it, come to us."
…
It was already January, and while "Home Alone" was sweeping the North American box office, "Sisters 2" and "A Better Tomorrow" were also setting off box office frenzy in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively.
The team that Kang Jianfei brought from Hong Kong had already returned to Hong Kong after the filming of "Home Alone" was completed. He also successfully moved into the newly bought house of Guan Zhilin's parents and lived with Guan Zhilin as a prospective son-in-law.
Back at Guan Zhilin's house, her younger brother Guan Zhiji sweetly shouted: "Brother-in-law, mother said you were going back to Hong Kong, and she made a lot of delicious food tonight."
Kang Jianfei touched his head, took out a leather bag and said: "NBA customized basketball, open it and see if you like it?"
Guan Zhiji couldn't wait to take out the basketball, clapped it twice and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so kind."
Guan's mother, Zhang Bingqing, came out of the kitchen and said, "Just buy a basketball for the kid. Don't give him such a good one."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It's nothing, Auntie, as long as I like it."
Zhang Bingqian said: "It will take two months for Jiahui to return to Hong Kong. Why don't you go back together after the Spring Festival?"
It is just a joke to say that Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin are Americans. In fact, they have only obtained green cards. If they want to officially become American citizens, they must live in the United States for more than half of the time in the next few years, and they cannot leave the country for more than 180 days each year.
, otherwise you will lose the qualification to convert your green card to a citizen.
"No, I have to go back to Hong Kong to deal with some things." Kang Jianfei said. He didn't want to stay abroad any longer. The foreign devils chirped and said they didn't understand anything.
Zhang Bingqian didn't force anything, she just smiled and said: "Young people should put their career first."
Kang Jianfei chatted with Zhang Bingqian for a few words, then went back to the house to pack his luggage.
Guan Zhilin dug out Kang Jianfei's things, sat on the bed and folded his clothes one by one.
Looking at Guan Meiren's quick movements, she is a virtuous wife who knows how to run the house, and she is completely different from the husband-killer Kang Jianfei remembered in the original time and space.
Kang Jianfei sat next to Guan Zhilin, took out a small box from his pocket, handed it to her and said, "Jiahui, this is for you."
Guan Zhilin put down the clothes in her hands and opened the box curiously. Inside was a shining diamond ring.
Guan Meiren was stunned. She covered her mouth and was speechless for a while, then she was so moved that she seemed about to shed tears and said, "Brother Fei, I am willing."
"What do you want?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"I'm willing to marry you," Guan Zhilin picked up the ring and put it on her left middle finger and said, "Aren't you proposing to me?"
"Um," Kang Jianfei explained as a few crows flew over his head, "I..."
Before Kang Jianfei could say anything, Guan Zhilin had already thrown herself into his arms, hooked her arms around Kang Jianfei's neck and started kissing him passionately. After kissing for a while, Guan Meiren suddenly lowered her head to help Kang Jianfei untie his belt, and her seductive little mouth began to hold little A Fei in her mouth.
.
"Hey, your mother is still outside!" Kang Jianfei reminded, but his hand touched Guan Zhilin's face comfortably.
Her cheeks were so sore that Guan Zhilin raised her head, bit her red lips and smiled softly: "You are going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. I won't see you for a long time. I will squeeze you dry today to prevent you from going back to make trouble."
Come."
The boudoir was suddenly filled with spring scenery. Guan Zhilin bit her underwear and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being overheard by her parents and younger brother. The more she did this, the more exciting she felt. She was brought to the peak in just a few minutes, but the man on her body was
She still continued to ride tirelessly. One wave after another, Guan Zhilin floated in the clouds and never landed. In the end, she bit the panties in her mouth.
During dinner in the evening, Guan Meiren was like a noodle just fished out of the water. Her whole body was weak and weak, and she had to be supported by Kang Jianfei to go out. She made a big blush in front of the whole family. (To be continued.) q
