The Wang Jiawei in front of him was not the fat and fat king in sunglasses that Kang Jianfei had in mind.
At this time, Wang Jiawei was thin and short, with a pair of black-framed myopia glasses on his nose, and a toilet seat hairstyle that was almost out of date, giving him an air of hanging stockings.
It was precisely because of such a big change that Kang Jianfei just thought he looked familiar and did not dare to recognize him as Wang Jiawei.
Kang Jianfei was quite interested in the king of sunglasses, and wanted to cut open his head to study the brain circuitry. He was obviously a screenwriter, but when Wang Jiawei became a director, he didn't use a script and had to spend money pretending to be a literary youth to play art.
.
"Very capable, right? You brought him here specially." Kang Jianfei pointed at Wang Jiawei and asked Chen Xunqi.
Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is savvy and very diligent. There are not many people in my company, so he helped me run forward and backward during filming."
Wang Jiawei was very discerning. When he heard Kang Jianfei and Chen Xunqi talking about him, he immediately took out a script from his bag and said hopefully: "Mr. Kang, this is a script I wrote. Please read it...
"
Kang Jianfei held the script without opening it, but looked at Chen Xunqi, as if asking him what was going on.
Chen Xunqi laughed and said: "This script is too literary, so I am not interested in filming it."
Kang Jianfei immediately understood that it was probably Wang Jiawei who had come up with a literary script by himself and came to him with the mentality of trying it out. With Zhang Jianting's successful experience in the past, Wang Jiawei naturally hoped that his script would catch Kang Jianfei's eye and wait until the film was produced.
After that, it became an instant hit. Even if Kang Jianfei didn't like the script, he could still take this opportunity to leave an impression on Kang Jianfei.
In the fiercely competitive Hong Kong film industry, no one who can become famous is a fool.
Kang Jianfei threw the script aside and asked Chen Xunqi: "Are you going to go back to the production department or do you have other ideas?"
Chen Xunqi thought for a while and said, "I want to set up my own studio. When I'm not making movies, I can help out at DreamWorks."
"Okay, everything will be arranged by McDonald's and Xu Ke's studio." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
The film studios affiliated to DreamWorks are actually not much different from the satellite companies of Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, but they are very different in nature. At the same time, after the profitability of several movies, the film studios of Xu Ke and McDonald Bear
It has been adjusted again. The studio’s box office sharing rules have been changed from a fixed share to a floating box office share.
If Xu Ke and McDonald's Bear make a blockbuster movie, not only will they not make a penny, but they may also endanger the studio's funds. And if their movie studio makes a movie that sells well at the box office, then
The more box office there is, the higher the share Xu Ke and McDonald's Bear will get.
This is the most scientific method of dividing film studios. Otherwise, if you make a profit without losing money like before, Kang Jianfei is not a good gentleman who runs a charity.
Now any DreamWorks director who feels good about himself can apply to create his own film studio, but he must be prepared to lose money. If you accompany too many studios, you will owe DreamWorks money.
After the two discussed some details, Chen Xunqi left with Wang Jiawei.
After leaving the office, Wang Jiawei asked expectantly: "Brother Qi, do you think Mr. Kang will like my script?"
"You don't have enough accumulation now. You just want to learn from others and play deep. The script you wrote is neither civilized nor martial. It's better not to have too much hope." Chen Xunqi patted Wang Jiawei on the shoulder and said.
Wang Jiawei nodded after hearing this, but he still thought that his script would be liked by Kang Jianfei.
After all, Chen Xunqi is an old man from DreamWorks. He joined the company right after Kang Jianfei's second movie, so he met many acquaintances and greeted him along the way.
Wang Jiawei saw that Chen Xunqi was so "popular" at DreamWorks, and was secretly happy that he was not with the wrong person. He might become famous one day in the future.
Chen Xunqi just went downstairs to get out of the elevator, and met Li Xiuxian who was about to enter the elevator. Li Xiuxian said in surprise: "Archie? It's really you!"
Li Xiuxian was recommended to DreamWorks by Chen Xunqi, and the two have been friends for many years.
"I have something to do with Mr. Kang." Chen Xunqi said with a smile.
Li Xiuxian asked: "Are you ready to go back to DreamWorks?"
"I have this plan." Chen Xunqi did not hide it, nor was he afraid of falling out with Lei Juekun.
In fact, cracks began to appear in the cooperation between Chen Xunqi and Lei Juekun last year.
The first movie "The Hollow Young Master" written by Wang Jiawei and Chen Xunqi, Lei Juekun only invested 200,000 yuan. The rest of the money was begged by Chen Xunqi from everywhere. After the production of "The Hollow Young Master" was completed, due to
This movie was partially invested by Golden Harvest, and Princess Jin did not help with its distribution.
In the end, Chen Xunqi found a distribution company called "UniAsia" (not Media Asia), and contacted less than 10 theaters here and there. It was released for an extremely shabby 12 days, and it actually got more than 4 million at the box office.
Lei Juekun was also affected by the stock market crash at that time and did not have much money to invest in Chen Xunqi. He complained that Chen Xunqi was cooperating with Jiahe behind his back, so he deliberately showed Chen Xunqi's face. After Chen Xunqi was tricked by Lei Juekun, he forced him to
I endured it and collaborated with Lei Juekun in two more dramas, but in fact I already had a lot of resentment in my heart.
For example, this time's "Goodbye". Chen Xunqi felt that Princess Jin did not have enough publicity, and then hastily released the film to make way for "Family Portrait", which resulted in the ugly box office performance of "Goodbye".
Anyway, he has made a lot of money for Lei Juekun. Chen Xunqi feels that he has done his best and can justly terminate the cooperation and return to DreamWorks.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a meal together at noon." Chen Xunqi invited.
Li Xiuxian smiled and said: "Okay, but I have to go to the marketing department to talk about something first."
"Then you get busy first." Chen Xunqi said.
Wang Jing's "The Best Friend" will be finished soon, and the police drama "Public Servant" directed by Lee Hsiu-hyun will be released immediately. This time I went to the marketing department to discuss the final round of publicity.
Li Xiuxian passed by Wu Yusen as he headed to the marketing department, and the latter went directly to Kang Jianfei's office on the top floor.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Come in!"
Kang Jianfei was looking at Wang Jiawei's script, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Kang, the script is finished." Wu Yusen put the script on Kang Jianfei's desk. If it were other scripts, there would be no need to bring it to Kang Jianfei, mainly because Wu Yusen will be filming "A Better Tomorrow 2" and Kang Jianfei
Without nodding, no one below would dare to review the script.
Kang Jianfei picked up the script of "A Better Tomorrow 2" and read through it. He provided the general plot, which was then collectively created by the screenwriters at DreamWorks. However, because the original film was purely a men's drama, Kang Jianfei gave Long Si's daughter Ayunga
He played a lot of roles and suggested that Zhong Chuhong should play the role.
Kang Jianfei spent more than 20 minutes reading the script in general, signed his name on it, and said: "The script is well written."
After getting Kang Jianfei's signature, Wu Yusen did not leave, but said: "Mr. Kang, the supporting role of Long Si is played by Ti Long, what do you think?"
"Di Long?" Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered that Di Long was Zhang Che's confidant, and Wu Yusen was Zhang Che's proud disciple. Now that Shaw Brothers has collapsed, Di Long will naturally seek development in other companies. As a fellow disciple of Wu Yusen,
Yusen naturally wants to help.
Wu Yusen nodded and said: "That's Ti Long. He has signed a contract with Oriental Entertainment. It's a five-year long-term contract."
In order to expand the resources of the agency, Kang Jianfei, in addition to the stars he cultivated, signed free contracts with first-line celebrities, almost every year. With the reputation Ti Lung has accumulated over the years, he can definitely work in Oriental Entertainment Company
He signed a one-year contract, but he took the initiative to sign a five-year contract.
Kang Jianfei was very satisfied with Ti Lung's choice. What boss wouldn't like such an actor who is loyal to the company? He said: "The setting of the character Long Si is somewhat inconsistent with Ti Lung's image. You have to re-revise the script."
"I will revise it carefully." Wu Yusen said happily, but in his heart he planned to increase Ti Lung's role for his own benefit.
Kang Jianfei looked at his watch and saw that it was almost noon, so he went downstairs with Wu Yusen, preparing to pick up Zhong Chuhong for dinner.
As soon as Zhang Degong drove Kang Jianfei out of the gate of the film and television city, five or six sharp-eyed reporters immediately surrounded his car and asked: "Mr. Kang, why did Sir Shaw sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas to you?"
"Do you have any other private deals?"
"Mr. Kang, what are your plans for the next film?"
"..."
Zhang Degong half-squinted his eyes, and the car kept moving forward at a constant speed. After more than ten seconds, it safely rushed away from the reporter and drove away.
The reporters behind could only stare at the car buttocks and sigh. The big news of Kang Jianfei buying Shaw Brothers Cinemas had been happening for several days, but the two parties involved, Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, did not show up. Hong Kong reporters wanted to get the news.
I have been squatting alone for quite some time.
Unable to interview Kang Jianfei and Shao Yifu, the reporters focused their firepower on others.
In front of the TVB building, Fang Yihua was surrounded by a large number of reporters as soon as she came out.
"Ms. Fang, will the construction of Tseung Kwan O Studios have any impact on TVB?"
"Some people say that you are the root cause of Shaw Brothers' collapse. What do you think of this?"
"Ms. Fang, your current strategy in running the wireless station is the same as that of Shaw Brothers, which is to reduce production costs infinitely. Will TVB follow in the footsteps of Shaw Brothers?"
"..."
Fang Yihua's face suddenly turned black and white, and she looked at her nose and nose without saying a word. She didn't say a word until she got into the car and then punched the seat cushion.
The car drove past the former Phoenix TV building, and Fang Yihua silently looked at the empty building. Since Phoenix TV moved to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, the broadcast channel seems to have become much deserted, and the original "Wutai Mountain" has also become
There are only three radio stations, commercial radio stations and Radio Television Hong Kong left. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.

ps: Did you listen to Zhang Manyu singing "Sweet Honey"? Lao Wang finally found the confidence to sing.
In addition, the editing of the third episode of "Tongue 2" is really bad. I seriously suspect that it was re-edited temporarily and is more than one grade lower than the first two episodes. 9
