Pan Disheng was about to stand up to greet him, but he saw Kang Jianfei walking straight past his table without even looking at him, and he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
"I thought he was coming to our place." Michelle Yeoh stuck out her tongue and smiled.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Pan Disheng pointed to the table where Kang Jianfei passed and introduced: "The people over there are all people from DreamWorks. The woman wearing glasses is called Tang Shuxuan. She is the vice president of film and television at DreamWorks; she is short and fat.
His name is Zeng Zhiwei, and he is the manager of the film production department of DreamWorks; the two to the left of Zeng Zhiwei are the McDonough and McDonagh brothers. They are both very capable directors. McDonough also has his own film studio in DreamWorks.
…”
There were a lot of people from DreamWorks here today, but basically they were people from the film and television production department, like Ma Qiao, Zhou Mingfang and other people from the operations and administrative departments, but none of them came to the banquet.
On the way Kang Jianfei came over just now, he naturally noticed the dazzling Michelle Yeoh. He admired the beauty with the corner of his eyes and talked to McDonald's Bear: "Ah Xiong, I heard that you want to make a police movie?
"
Before McDonald Xiong answered, Tang Shuxuan had already said: "The idea of the movie is good. It tells the story of mainland Chinese illegal immigrants who come to Hong Kong to commit crimes, but I'm afraid it won't pass the review of the censorship team, so you need to make the decision yourself."
The movie that a few people are discussing now is the famous "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" in another time and space, but now no director dares to touch such a subject.
What Tang Shuxuan said is not false. It is really difficult for movies involving mainland China to pass censorship. She filmed "Goodbye China" eleven years ago. It was about a few young people who could not bear the Cultural Revolution and fled to Hong Kong. They wanted to
It is difficult to integrate into Hong Kong society, and one of the protagonists finally chooses to convert to religion.
After the filming of "Goodbye China" was completed, it was banned by the Hong Kong censorship department on the grounds that it "may damage friendly relations with neighboring regions and disrupt public order." To put it bluntly, the British government did not want to cause trouble with mainland China, and was even more afraid of Hong Kong.
The Red/Guards committed suicide again, so this movie was banned.
"I think there is no problem in passing the electronic inspection." Seeing that Kang Jianfei did not express his opinion, McDonald Xiong quickly persuaded him, "Mr. Kang, in recent years, a large number of illegal immigrants from mainland China and Vietnam have entered Hong Kong. Most of these people cannot find good jobs.
, and are discriminated against by locals to a certain extent, often resorting to illegal and criminal activities, which bring great harm to Hong Kong’s social security..."
McDonald's Bear stopped mid-sentence, but felt his younger brother McDonald's kicking him under the table. Only then did McDonald's Bear realize that Kang Jianfei was also a stowaway.
Kang Jianfei was currently flirting with Michelle Yang at the next table, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Keep talking."
Seeing that Kang Jianfei was not angry, McDonald's Bear coughed and said: "If we can make this content into a movie, it will definitely resonate with the Hong Kong audience and the box office will be at least 10 million."
Kang Jianfei and Yang Ziqiong looked at each other in the air for a while, then suddenly turned to ask Tang Shuxuan: "What do you think, Sister Xuan?"
Tang Shuxuan laughed and said: "I think the movie can be made, but we must be prepared to be banned. It is best to keep the shooting cost to a minimum."
McDonald's film studio's venture "Bald Girl" was not doing well at the box office, and he was eager to prove his ability at this time. He retorted: "The chance of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" being banned is very low. Manager Tang's "Goodbye"
Hasn’t China” also passed the censorship?”
Tang Shuxuan said amusedly: "Does my movie have a comparable surname?"
"Goodbye China" passed censorship four years ago. At that time, mainland China was already reflecting on and reviewing the Cultural Revolution. This topic is no longer taboo, so the British government in Hong Kong relaxed the censorship of Cultural Revolution themes.
.And "Goodbye China" has been filmed for many years, so it can't help but show the same thing, because no theater will show this old movie that will definitely not sell at the box office.
McDonald's raised his eyebrows and said: "To put it bluntly, China and Britain have already broken up in negotiations, and they don't care at all that my movie will affect regional friendly relations."
"Then let's shoot, everything will follow the process, write the script first and then talk about it." Kang Jianfei agreed casually. "Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" was a series of movies in the original time and space. The box office was not very high but it has been very stable, and other
Its social influence far exceeds its box office status. Even after the movie was released, "Provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers" once became synonymous with cross-border criminal robberies in Hong Kong. For example, when Filipinos go to Japan to rob, Hong Kong people can use it.
"Provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers" is called this specific term.
Kang Jianfei is so clever that he would not make such a movie that is both profitable and can increase the influence of DreamWorks. Not only must he make it, but he must make it well, and make four or five movies that will become DreamWorks' signature movies.
DreamWorks now has two film studios, among which Xu Ke's studio is currently filming the big-budget "New Shushan Swordsman". Naturally, McDonald's Bear is not willing to give up and wants to show off his talents.
Hearing that Kang Jianfei agreed, McDonald's was overjoyed. Even if McDonald's left DreamWorks and found other investors to invest in such a dangerous movie, few would dare to risk it.
After talking about business, Kang Jianfei stood up and walked towards Pan Desheng's table. After greeting Pan Desheng, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying and others, he looked at Michelle Yeoh and said, "If I'm not mistaken,
, this must be Miss Michelle Yeoh who shot the commercial with Aaron."
Michelle Yeung couldn't understand what Kang Jianfei was saying, so she looked at Pan Disheng with confusion, and Pan Desheng had to translate for her in English. After listening to Pan Disheng's translation, Michelle Yeung said in surprise: "I'm just in Hong Kong.
Shooting an advertisement, Mr. Kang actually knows about it?"
It's pitiful that Pan Disheng, a wealthy young man, was reduced to being the translator for Kang Jianfei and Yang Ziqiong. Especially when Yang Ziqiong's words were filled with admiration, Pan Desheng almost had an illusion when he translated.
It's like if his wife is having an affair, he still has to look out for her.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Miss Yang may not know that your advertisement caused quite a stir, and Oriental Entertainment Company is planning to invite you to join."
Pan Disheng suddenly became nervous, fearing that Yang Michelle would be abducted by Kang Jianfei and taken to Oriental Entertainment. He smiled dryly and translated: "Mr. Kang said that he had seen your commercial and it was very good."
There was more than one person at Hong Jinbao's table who could speak English. After hearing this, Chen Huiyi covered his mouth and snickered. Lin Zhengying, who had always been serious about speaking and speaking, also looked at Pan Desheng.
Michelle Yeung didn't know that Desheng Pan was causing trouble and continued: "I also watched Mr. Kang's "Home Alone" in the UK. This movie is very popular in the UK. I especially like the little boy in the movie."
As soon as Michelle Yang finished speaking, Lin Qingxia suddenly walked over and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? You are laughing so happily."
Kang Jianfei felt quite helpless. Just two words into the conversation with the beautiful woman, Lin Qingxia came over to cause trouble. He said with a guilty conscience: "That is Ms. Michelle Yeoh from Malaysia, who is shooting the commercial with Cheng Long on your behalf."
The one."
"Oh," Lin Qingxia said when she saw Pan Disheng and Michelle Yeung sitting together, "it turns out they are Mr. Pan's girlfriends. They are such a talented man and a beautiful woman."
After hearing this, Pan Desheng was very happy and had a good impression of Lin Qingxia. He smiled and explained: "A friend of mine is a family friend of Miss Yang. This time Miss Yang came to Hong Kong not only to shoot advertisements but also to travel and relax, so I asked her to
I'll take more care of you."
Kang Jianfei said to Lin Qingxia: "Qingxia, this Miss Yang can't speak Chinese. Please help me invite her and see if I can invite her to join Oriental Entertainment Company."
Kang Jianfei said it so openly, Lin Qingxia felt that she was a little suspicious just now. Maybe Kang Jianfei really thought highly of Michelle Yeoh.
Lin Qingxia stretched out her hand toward Michelle Yang and greeted, "Hello, Miss Yang, I am Lin Qingxia."
"Lim Ching Hsia?" Michelle Yeung reacted for two seconds and felt that the name was really familiar. She had been living in Malaysia before she was fifteen years old, and Lin Ching Hsia was also very famous in Malaysia, so she must have heard of Lin Ching Hsia.
name, but she has not seen the movie starring Lin Qingxia.
Pan Disheng reminded: "It's that Taiwanese beauty star."
"Oh, I remembered! You are the heroine of "Deadly Express"." During Michelle Yeoh's time in Hong Kong, although "Deadly Express" was in theaters, she did not understand Chinese and even had few newspapers.
Look, now I finally remember reading the report about Lin Qingxia in the English newspaper "South China Morning Post".
After the two women shook hands and exchanged greetings, Lin Qingxia said: "Mr. Kang asked you just now if you are interested in joining his Oriental Entertainment Company."
"Are you going to be an actress?" Michelle Yeung heard the name of Oriental Entertainment Company for the first time.
Lin Qingxia introduced: "Oriental Entertainment Company is a celebrity management company, including singers, actors, hosts, etc. It not only helps artists to take over filming movies and TV series, but also helps artists arrange commercials, variety shows and concerts, etc.
wait."
The more Pan Desheng listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Before Michelle Yeoh could agree, he coughed and interjected: "Miss Yeung was last year's Miss Malaysia champion, and she has to go back to fulfill her obligations as Miss Malay."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Yang can come anytime."
Michelle Yeoh majored in drama and dance, and she barely had anything to do with filmmaking - it was all art, and she had just graduated and didn't know what to do, so she was still very interested in filmmaking.
Michelle Yeoh said to Lin Qingxia: "I have to go back and ask my parents first. If they agree, I will come back and join Oriental Entertainment Company."
Even thirty years later, some conservative wealthy families still regard celebrities as low-level actors. It is normal for Michelle Yeoh to seek the opinions of her family first.
After Kang Jianfei listened to the translation, he raised his glass to Yang Ziqiong and said with a smile: "Then I will sweep the bed and wait."
When this idiom came out of Kang Jianfei's mouth, Lin Qingxia felt it was ambiguous no matter how she heard it, and couldn't help but pinch Kang Jianfei secretly.
Mr. Pan, who was about to embrace the beauty, encountered Kang Jianfei halfway, and could only sit there with a cold expression and drink sullenly. (To be continued.) q
