"Mr. Kang, when will the filming of the new movie with you and Boss Shao start?"
"Director Kang, who has a bigger role in the new drama, Miles Long or Lin Qingxia?"
"Director Kang, are Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia acting as a couple?"
"Boss Kang, who will invest the most in the new play?"
"Mr. Kang, may I ask you to be the director yourself?"
"..."
Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters as soon as he got out of the car. No matter how cunning he was, he could not escape the sharp-eyed and uncrowned kings.
Zou Wenhuai secretly revealed the co-production plan and suddenly blew up the investment from 8 million US dollars to 20 million for two purposes. One was to finalize the matter and not give Kang Jianfei a chance to regret it; the other was to take the opportunity to build momentum and make people
More people are paying attention to Cheng Long’s new film.
But Kang Jianfei was so annoyed by the reporter that he forced a smile on his face, pushed the reporter aside without saying a word, and headed for the door of Oriental Building.
It wasn't until he entered the elevator that Kang Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of these annoying reporters.
Oriental Entertainment Company is divided into several departments such as music department, performing arts department, etc., and even has a special training classroom. An entire floor in the Oriental Building belongs to the company. Newcomers receive theoretical and basic courses here. Once they are ready, they are sent to
Go to TV stations, record companies and film crews for practical learning, and then package and promote based on their potential.
As soon as he came out of the elevator, Chen Bingkun came to greet him with his two younger brothers and a female secretary. This former gossip king on the Shaw Brothers studio was now a famous agent of Oriental Entertainment Company and the deputy manager of the performing arts department.
Chen Bingkun came up to him with a mean smile and said, "Brother Fei, everyone is here. Miss Xi Xie is in the reception room."
Kang Jianfei walked in front and asked, "Has her contract been finalized?"
Chen Bingkun nodded and said: "Everything has been signed, but there is something wrong."
"What's wrong?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Chen Bingkun said: "Miss Xi Xie doesn't know Chinese, and even if we arrange Chinese training courses for her, she doesn't want to learn."
Kang Jianfei himself doesn't like learning foreign languages, but he doesn't like the fact that his artists don't want to make progress. He said: "This Japanese girl, is it possible that she will have to be specially provided with a translator when filming in the future? We must find ways to let her learn it, so that she can at least communicate on a daily basis."
Chen Bingkun nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely let her learn to speak Cantonese."
The door to the reception room next to Kang Jianfei's office was opened, and sitting inside was a beautiful Japanese woman. It was none other than Michiko Nisigyo, who is known as "Momoe Yamaguchi in the bodybuilding world" in Japan.
Michiko Nishitaka is a Japanese bodybuilding star and weightlifter. She has won Japan's national bodybuilding championship and weightlifting championship three times in a row and has a certain reputation in Japan.
This woman is only 26 years old this year, but as an athlete she is already too old, and she did not do well after retiring.
In a parallel space, Michiko Nisigata will go to Taiwan in a few months to make a living. She has made a bunch of bad movies but has not become famous. She will make a name for herself two years later when she goes to Hong Kong to shoot "Lucky Star".
Kang Jianfei is going to film "God of Gamblers" this time. The Japanese woman who rolls the dice in the original version is played by Michiko Nishitaka. For such an indifferent role, it is natural to find any actor, but Kang Jianfei remembered it because of this.
Michiko Nishitaka, the Japanese actress, is here.
It happened that Lin Qingxia and Zhen Zidan were filming in Japan at this time. Kang Jianfei just called Lin Qingxia to ask for him, and soon found out about Michiko Nishitaka's situation.
After retiring as an athlete, Michiko Nisikayo was worried that she had no way out. After receiving an invitation from Oriental Entertainment, she immediately packed her bags and flew to Hong Kong.
Michiko Nishitaka had seen Kang Jianfei in the movie. After Kang Jianfei came in, she immediately stood up and bowed and said: "Kang Sang, if you buy it, you have to wash it too much. If you fall off and cry, it will tear you apart!"
Although Kang Jianfei didn't know what this girl was talking about, he guessed that she was probably greeting him. He went out and walked towards his office, and said to Michiko Nishixie behind him: "You're welcome, you can also wash your hands and come to my office.
Tell me."
Michiko Nishitaka hurriedly followed, and entering alongside her was Kang Jianfei's secretary Lin Meiqin.
As the boss, Kang Jianfei has secretaries in TV stations, record companies and film companies, who are responsible for daily document sorting, message sending and receiving, time arrangements, etc. In fact, he still lacks a personal assistant and secretary to sort out and summarize the information sent by various company secretaries.
information, but Kang Jianfei's personality doesn't like to be followed at all times, so he usually only has temporary assistants when doing errands or going on business trips.
With the new secretary Lin Meiqin as the translator, Kang Jianfei started to communicate normally with Michiko Nishixie and said: "Miss Nishixie, I have seen your photo reports in Japan and feel that your image and skills are very suitable for being an action star. You are welcome to join.
Oriental Entertainment Company.”
Kang Jianfei has become very famous in Japan in the past two years, especially after "Home Alone" became a box office hit. Many Japanese who don't pay attention to movies have heard of Kang Jianfei, a famous Hong Kong director.
Michiko Nisigyo was in a miserable situation after her retirement. When she heard that Kang Jianfei was optimistic about her potential, she immediately said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Kang, for your praise. I will work harder."
"Don't be too busy thanking me," Kang Jianfei waved his hand, "I invite you here this time, just for a small role that lasts only a few dozen seconds. I hope you can learn to speak Cantonese as soon as possible. Even if you can't speak the lines, you can at least be able to listen.
I understand, otherwise, when you film for me in the future, do you have to bring an interpreter with you at all times?"
Michiko Nishixie practiced volleyball gymnastics since she was a child, and later practiced bodybuilding and weightlifting. She is completely a tomboy, and her cultural learning ability is almost negative. However, for the sake of future development, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "I will try my best to learn to speak Chinese.
, please rest assured, Mr. Kang."
"Okay, let's do this for now." Kang Jianfei waved his hand to let Michiko Nishixie leave, and then said to Lin Meiqin, "Call Chen Bingkun in."
Less than half a minute after the Japanese girl left, Chen Bingkun knocked on the door and came in, asking: "Brother Fei, what do you want me to do?"
Kang Jianfei said: "I was originally going to let Leslie Cheung play the second male role of Swordsman in "God of Gamblers". However, the schedule conflicted with the arrangement with Popular Records, so I wanted to change the actor temporarily. Do you have any good ideas?
Actor recommendations?”
Chen Bingkun asked: "Do you have any special requirements?"
Kang Jianfei said: "You must be young and handsome, and you must have acting skills."
Chen Bingkun said with a headache: "There are many handsome young people, and there are also many who have acting skills, but no one is particularly outstanding."
"Who is the most handsome among the newcomers in the company? Acting skills are not the issue, the key is to be handsome." Kang Jianfei said.
Chen Bingkun thought for a while and said: "I think of a person. I don't know if he is suitable. He is a student who transferred from the Phoenix TV training class. His performance in the acting test was good, and he is very handsome, but he is too literary.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to portray Dao Zai’s ruffianism.”
Kang Jianfei became interested and asked: "Oh, there is such a student in the training class. What is his name?"
Chen Bingkun said: "The student's name is Huang Qiusheng, and he is a mixed race."
"Huang Qiusheng... is too literary?" Kang Jianfei almost laughed. Thinking about Huang Qiusheng's old ruffian look, some people actually said that he was too literary and could not act ruffianly.
Chen Bingkun said: "Yes, that boy is best at performing Shakespeare plays. With his mixed-race face, the effect of the performance is simply amazing."
Kang Jianfei suppressed his laughter and ordered: "Go and find Huang Qiusheng."

The Song City in Liyuan Amusement Park had long been demolished and used for real estate in the era before Kang Jianfei traveled through it. But now it is very lively. Since its completion, many film crews filming period films have come here to shoot scenes. It is not necessary
Going to the China Film and Television City in Taiwan and not having to set up scenes like Shaw Brothers for filming, Songcheng really provided great convenience to Hong Kong directors.
"Props team, pull the trolley over there, the actors quickly change their costumes..." Xu Xiaoming clapped his hands and directed.
McDonald's got a little tired of working on the TV station, especially after a few movies he helped his brother plan became hits, so he got the idea of making movies.
Since McDonald's revealed his intention to leave, Xu Xiaoming, whose ability is not inferior to that of McDonald's, naturally wants to climb up the ladder and get the position of program production director.
Of course, due to the reorganization of the TV station, Xu Xiaoming can no longer be the program production director of Phoenix Channel, but the program director of the Oriental DreamWorks TV Production Department.
The current TV series is called "Daoma Dan", which is adapted from Kang Jianfei's movie of the same name, starring Mo Shaocong, Mao Shunyun, Wen Xueer, Yung Huiwen and others.
Due to the reputation of the movie version of "Dao Ma Dan", once the TV series version of "Dao Ma Dan" was aired, the ratings were firmly ahead of TVB's "Rebirth". As the producer of this drama, Xu Xiaoming can be regarded as the "Dao Ma Dan"
"Dao Ma Dan" was regarded as a stepping stone for him to be promoted to program director. He worked nearly 20 hours a day, and it was almost life-threatening when filming.
Huang Qiusheng was wearing a Republic of China short coat and a small hat selling steamed buns on the street. From time to time he shouted: "We are selling steamed buns, big steamed buns with thin skin and meat filling..."
"Click!" The director was staring at the viewfinder. As the producer, Xu Xiaoming suddenly shouted stop. Everyone stopped and looked here, wondering what happened.
Xu Xiaoming pointed at a female Kun Troupe actor and shouted: "Yuan Danqiong, why is it you who have the problem again? Are you mistaken? The master in your play is dead and has no expression on his face. He is not there to be a passerby.
?”
"Producer Xu, I...I..." Yuan Danqiong lowered her head and was at a loss.
Xu Xiaoming looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's put food on the table first. If you don't perform well this afternoon, you'll just leave!"
Yuan Danqiong sat down on the roadside sadly. The "Pomegranate Sister" who often went crazy in Xingye movies in the future has been scolded by several directors. The reason is because Yuan Danqiong looks so good.
Yes, she has always been cultivated as a yu star, which has nothing to do with comedy. She simply didn't find the right acting path.
Just when Yuan Danqiong was feeling sad, a lunch box appeared in front of her. Yuan Danqiong looked up and saw that it was Huang Qiusheng who had just been selling "baozi" on the roadside.
"Are you still upset?" Huang Qiusheng handed her the lunch box and said with a helpless smile, "At least you can play a supporting role with lines. I came back to the training class and ranked first in the exam, but I will always be able to play the role of a passerby."
Huang Qiusheng is telling the truth, and it is also the most embarrassing situation he is currently in. He is obviously very handsome and has good acting skills, but because of his mixed-race appearance, he has never been able to get suitable roles, and supporting roles are too spotlight-stealing, so he can only
Be a passerby.
Wu Yijiang came over with a lunch box, sat down next to Huang Qiusheng and said: "Everyone is the same. After two years, you can get a good role."
Yuan Danqiong was not in the mood to eat either. She hugged her lunch box and sighed: "Oh, Zhou Xingchi has the best luck in the entire acting training class. He is already able to host the Academy Awards ceremony."
Huang Qiusheng dug his rice and said: "With the help of noble people, you will naturally get along well."
Wu Yijiang looked around and whispered: "I heard that Zhou Xingchi is related to the director of "30 Minutes", and he climbed up through the back door."
Huang Qiusheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "What can be done? We are all students with nothing to do. We can only get ahead slowly."
Wu Yijiang sighed: "Let me tell you, the most important thing in life is luck. Look at Chen Bingkun, deputy manager of the Artists Department, who used to be a small set worker on the Shaw Brothers studio. Just because he met Mr. Kang, he is now more successful.
Scenery.”
Yuan Danqiong said: "Yes, if I had known Mr. Kang earlier, maybe I would have become famous by now."
The three young actors sighed, and then Wu Yi asked: "Qiusheng, your appearance is not suitable for filming a TV series. Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
"What should I do?" Huang Qiusheng smiled nonchalantly, "I will work as a bit player for half a year. If there is still no chance, I will go to the Academy of Performing Arts and make movies after graduation."
Yuan Danqiong gave a thumbs up and said: "If you have an idea, I support you."
Before the lunch was finished, the three young actors suddenly heard someone shouting: "Huang Qiusheng, where is Huang Qiusheng?"
Huang Qiusheng stood up with the lunch box, raised his hand and said: "I am here, who is looking for me?"
The person who came was not Chen Bingkun, but a small head from the artist department of Oriental Entertainment Company. He walked over and took Huang Qiusheng's hand and said, "Stop eating, come with me quickly."
"What?" Huang Qiusheng broke away from the man's hand and asked warily.
The man said: "You have become rich, Mr. Kang wants to see you!"
Huang Qiusheng struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "Which Mr. Kang?"
"Which Mr. Kang are you talking about?" the man said speechlessly.
"Oh, oh..." Huang Qiusheng said "Oh" in an inarticulate manner for a long time, threw the lunch box aside, arranged his clothes and said, "I'll go with you."
Huang Qiusheng's family background is no better than that of Zhou Runfa and Zhang Weijian. His foreign Japanese father abandoned his wife when he was young, and his mother raised him as a servant. Now that he has a great opportunity in front of him, how can Huang Qiusheng not be excited?
When the arrivals took Huang Qiusheng away, the entire crew looked at the direction they were leaving, and soon started talking noisily.
Wu Yijiang squatted there dumbfounded while holding the half-eaten box lunch. After a long time, he said to Yuan Danqiong: "Mr. Kang wants to see him. Qiu Sheng seems to be getting rich!"
Yuan Danqiong nodded blankly, his eyes full of envy.rs
