A taxi stopped at No. 79 Broadcasting Lane, and a father and daughter got out of the car. It was Li Saifeng and her father.
Although Li Saifeng is one year older than Wen Bixia, her figure is more petite and pretty, as pretty as a girl who stepped out of a comic book.
Father Li was furious. He brought his daughter today to find out what Kang Jianfei was. If Kang Jianfei really had the ability to make movies to make his daughter famous, then he would have agreed to the acting contract; if Kang Jianfei was just a liar, he felt It will make Kang Jianfei look good.
But regardless of whether Kang Jianfei really wants to make a movie, Li's father will firmly deny the ten-year agency contract.
The father and daughter followed the address upstairs and stood in front of Kang Jianfei's house, ringing the doorbell constantly.
When Kang Jianfei opened the door and took a look, he immediately understood what was going on and said with a smile: "You two, please come in and sit down."
After Li Saifeng entered the house, she looked at the furnishings in the house curiously. This place was much more beautiful than her home, and there was some envy and yearning in her eyes.
Li's father directly took out the ten-year agency contract and said, "Mr. Kang, this contract doesn't count, right? It was without my daughter's consent. It only has the signature of the guardian and is not legally binding."
Kang Jianfei would not be stupid enough to argue with him on the contract, but said with a smile: "Why don't you agree? Mr. Li, don't you think your daughter has a very good appearance and has the potential to become a big star? With all due respect, When I was at Tiu Keng Ling Yuan Seng Secondary School, I heard that your daughter's academic performance in school was not very good. If she continued to study, she would probably not be able to go to college or find a good job. But with her excellent appearance, It's just right to be a star in a movie, maybe she will become the next Lin Qingxia."
Li Saifeng is an adolescent girl and has loved acting since she was a child. She often participated in various performances at school and dreamed of making a movie and becoming a star. This time I heard that someone asked her to make a movie. Li Saifeng was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. Now I heard Kang Jianfei say that she could become the next Lin Qingxia, and I felt even more excited. I was afraid that my father would get into trouble with this gentleman and ruin her chance to act.
Li Saifeng looked at his father longingly, as if begging him to agree quickly. But Li's father ignored his daughter's look and said: "I don't know if my daughter has the potential to be a star. I only know that there is no famous film company in Hong Kong called Oriental DreamWorks. Mr. Kang, can you take me to your company to have a look?"
Kang Jianfei saw that this person was not easy to fool, so he told the truth: "My company has just been established."
Father Li is a small businessman. Although he makes money and loses money from time to time, and the business has never improved, he is well-informed. When he heard that Kang Jianfei was talking about a new company, he immediately sneered and said: "Humph, it has just been established, it can't be a lie..."
"Mr. Li, wait a minute, I know what you want to say," Kang Jianfei interrupted, and handed over his film plan, cast and crew list, budget plan, film script, film storyboard, and tentative shooting schedule. , took out the venue rental contract with Tiu Keng Ling Middle School, the equipment rental contract with Shaw Brothers Company, etc., put them all in front of Li's father and said, "Mr. Li, do you think a liar would spend so much effort to make a movie? I To be honest, 99% of all directors in Hong Kong are not as well prepared as I am before starting filming."
Father Li looked at these things one by one. Although he didn't know much about filmmaking, he still had basic judgment skills. As soon as Kang Jianfei took out these things, Father Li's doubts disappeared immediately. If Kang Jianfei was really a liar, , to be able to come up with so many things, he would admit it even if he was deceived.
"I have no doubt that Mr. Kang wants to make a movie," Li's father said after sorting out his words, "and as long as it doesn't delay my daughter's studies, I agree with her to star in the movie. However, the ten-year agency contract It must be voided. I don’t want my daughter to be trapped in this contract for the next ten years.”
Kang Jianfei glanced at Li Saifeng, smiled at her and said: "Classmate Li Saifeng has an excellent appearance and temperament. She is the girl with the most star potential I have ever seen, so I hope to train her myself. I am confident that I can make her famous. "
Li Saifeng was in adolescence, and girls at this time especially wanted to be praised and recognized by others. A few words from Kang Jianfei made Li Saifeng elated, and her impression of Kang Jianfei was extremely good. She pulled her father's clothes and said, "Dad, this Mr. Wei Kang is a nice person, and I think it would be great to make a movie with him."
Li's father shook his head and said: "It's okay to make movies, but the agency contract must be voided."
"Mr. Li wants to cancel the contract because he thinks that my company has no future." Kang Jianfei took out a pen and paper and said, "The highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong this year is Cheng Long's "Laughing Fist", with a total domestic box office of 5.44 million Hong Kong dollars. The second place is "Inside and Beyond the Wall", with a domestic box office of 4.79 million Hong Kong dollars, and the third place is "The Secret Thief", with a domestic box office of 4.08 million Hong Kong dollars. These are high-quality movies made by famous actors from big companies, and I If this newly established small company, with a bunch of unknown actors, can get a box office of 3 million in Hong Kong, it will rank among the top ten in Hong Kong's annual box office. Does this prove that my company is very successful? Promising?"
"Not bad." Father Li nodded. He is also a businessman and knows that a small company that has just been opened cannot compare with a large company. If Kang Jianfei's movie can be ranked among the top ten at the annual box office, it will indeed have great development prospects.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Otherwise, let's make an agreement. If the box office of my "Happy Ghost" is less than 3 million, then your daughter's agency contract will be invalid. If the box office exceeds 3 million, this agency contract will take effect. .how?"
Father Li thought to himself, if the box office of the movie in which his daughter is the heroine exceeds 3 million, it will obviously become an instant hit. Then he can go to any big company, why bother messing around with Kang Jianfei's small company?
Having made up his mind, Li's father shook his head and said, "Mr. Kang, I think it's okay to make a movie, but it's better not to sign the agency contract."
Kang Jianfei did not answer, but said to Li Saifeng: "Little sister, you go to the living room and watch TV for a while. I have something serious to talk to your father."
Li Saifeng still wanted to hear what they had to say, but Li's father also waved his hand and said: "Hurry and watch TV. The adults are talking and the children should not get involved."
"Humph!" Li Saifeng was unhappy at being driven away by the two men, and could only express her dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
As soon as Li Saifeng left, the smile on Kang Jianfei's face immediately turned cold, and he directly threatened: "Mr. Li, do you think I am a fool? Your wife has already signed this brokerage contract, and it is fully legally binding. If you have any objections to this contract , you can come and litigate with me, and it will be no problem for you to fight for three to five years. You know I am a writer, and if I write a book for an extra year and a half, I will get hundreds of thousands of legal fees, which I can spend slowly with you."
Father Li's face became ugly. Although he had just made a fortune in business not long ago, he still did not have the financial strength to file a bad debt lawsuit. If Kang Jianfei was determined to quarrel with him for three to five years, he would just hire a lawyer.
The money he spends will make him bankrupt, and he may eventually lose the lawsuit and pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
Kang Jianfei had a contract in his hand and was not afraid of him making trouble at all. He said slowly: "Mr. Li, you have to know how to advance and retreat. I discussed it with you nicely before, why do you need to push the envelope? A toast must taste better than a fine drink.
.”
Father Li's face was ashen, obviously angered by Kang Jianfei's arrogant attitude.
After Kang Jianfei gave him a big blow, he immediately offered sweet dates: "Mr. Li, in fact, we can discuss it calmly. Think about it, if I am the kind of person who only makes some money by making movies,
Why did I sign such a ten-year contract with your daughter? I really want to make the company bigger, and I really want to value your daughter.
You might as well think about it this way, if your daughter doesn’t film with me, she will definitely not be able to become a star. If she films with me, then she will at least have some hope of becoming famous. After becoming popular, if my company can become bigger
, will naturally carefully cultivate her as a precious star seed. And if your daughter becomes famous and signs with a big company like Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest, those companies are full of stars. How many resources will your daughter get if she is a small star? Ning Weijitou
, don’t be a phoenix!
Besides, if my company is a small one, if I can no longer work, I will sell your daughter to a big company. Those big companies paid a high price to buy your daughter's agency contract, so they will naturally pay more attention to it than those who signed the contract directly.
, so that you don’t spend a fortune on re-signing. In this way, no matter where you go, your daughter signing a brokerage contract with me will be the best choice. Do you think about it? "
Kang Jianfei was changing the subject, using strong words to make Father Li's head spin. At first it sounded like this, but when he thought about it more carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Even if he thought more carefully, there was nothing wrong with him.
After Kang Jianfei gave Tian Zao, he played the emotional card again and said: "Mr. Li, I am a young man, only eighteen years old this year. In order to make this movie, I bet all my wealth and I will do my best."
Come and film this drama, and I will also try my best to make your daughter famous. Don’t worry, as long as your daughter joins my company, I will treat her as a biological sister and will never let her suffer any injustice. And if
If you join a big company, the intrigues among the stars there will be very scary. Your daughter is so young, so it’s okay if she doesn’t become popular. Once she becomes famous, she will definitely be bullied by other celebrities who are jealous of her!"
After the phone call ended, Father Li found that he had been persuaded by Kang Jianfei. It seemed that his daughter should sign a management contract with Kang Jianfei's company based on emotions and interests. He pondered for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, then.
That `s a deal."
Kang Jianfei didn't mention anything about the agreement. He called Li Saifeng over while the iron was hot and asked her to add her signature to the agency contract. This matter was considered a certainty and Li's father was not afraid of going back on his word.
After Li Saifeng signed, Li's father suddenly realized: No, the purpose of my coming today is to ask Kang Jianfei to cancel the agency contract so that his daughter will not be trapped by him in the next ten years, not to discuss which company to sign the agency contract with.
This guy is so eloquent, he said a lot of things and got me involved!
When Father Li figured it out, he suddenly became angry. However, Kang Jianfei smiled and held up the contract in front of him, and the fire in Father Li's heart was immediately extinguished. Now, the contract has the signatures of the parties and the guardian, and then If he wants to fight a lawsuit, he will lose. No matter how angry he is, he can only hold his nose and admit it.
Kang Jianfei carefully put the contract away, then smiled at Li Saifeng and said, "Sister Saifeng, don't you have class today? It just so happens that the other heroine of the movie is coming over this afternoon. I will take you to measure and make clothes. There are several sets in the movie. The heroine's clothes need to be made by a tailor. So, why don't you go back first, Mr. Li?"

Um, I originally wanted to start this chapter, but suddenly I found that a lot of things were not written. So, please ignore the title of the previous chapter, even if Lao Wang is a heinous headliner.
In addition, there seems to be a problem with the author's collective enhancement in the backend. I have added it several times but there is no response. I have to comment one by one, which makes me very depressed.
