It took two days to shoot the advertisement for Pan Disheng. In addition to receiving 100,000 yuan, Pan Disheng also gave Kang Jianfei a Rolex men's watch for free.
The decoration of the company was quickly completed, and a sign reading "Oriental Dream Factory" was hung outside the office. Kang Jianfei finally had a base.
"Cousin, this is your company? It's so small." Wu Ruiqing got inside and said with disappointment.
Liang Ying patted the back of her son's head and said with a smile: "It's not small anymore. The office space is almost two thousand square feet, and it looks like a big company. Ah Qing, learn more from your cousin in the future, and one day you can open a company of your own."
Don’t hang around like your dad for half your life..."
Wu Chenggang listened with a depressed look on his face, his eldest wife had such a bad mouth.
Zhou Mingfang held the child in her arms and said, "A Fei, I still want to take care of the child, so you'd better find someone else."
"Just leave the child to me. A Fang, you come here to work just in time to wean the child." Liang Ying encouraged. She had always been a straight-forward person, but she thought a lot this time. Liang Ying knew that her husband had a soft temper and was afraid that he would be in the company in the future.
Unable to gain a foothold, I thought of asking Zhou Mingfang to come in to help. If the company could grow bigger, and his son Wu Ruiqing could come to work in the company after graduation, he wouldn't have to worry about his future life.
Kang Jianfei said: "Yes, aunt, I just took the opportunity to wean my little cousin. Besides, I don't feel comfortable leaving the finances to outsiders."
Zhou Mingfang was persuaded by the two for a while and finally agreed.
Not long after, Zhong Zhiwen, Zhong Yuan, and Uncle Qi also came. They came here for nothing serious, just to recognize the company's door.
The company is not big, there is only a general manager's office, a financial office, and an open office. Everyone started cleaning the company, and called the flower company to deliver a few potted plants. It was officially time to go to work.
.
The local box office dividends of "Happy Ghost" have been settled. After consultation with Lei Juekun, each of them contributed part of the promotional expenses. In the end, Kang Jianfei received a full 5 million box office dividend.
Of the 5 million, Kang Jianfei put 200,000 into his own pocket, and the rest was transferred to the company's account, and Zhou Mingfang recorded it in the accounts. The company is still small now, and the accounts are clear at a glance, but in the future, Kang Jianfei and the company's money will be clearly divided.
It's clear.
After settling the company's accounts, the next important thing is to recruit people.
The job advertisement had been posted a long time ago, but no one came to apply for it all morning.
Just after dinner in the afternoon, a little girl ran in, bowed to Kang Jianfei respectfully, and said, "Mr. Kang, I'm here to apply."
"Li Shan, aren't you still studying?" Kang Jianfei said in surprise. He didn't expect that the first person to apply was the third female actor in "Happy Ghost".
Li Shan lowered her head and said: "I will graduate in a few months. I won't be able to go to college anyway, so I might as well start working early to support my family. Mr. Kang, you promised me..."
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to listen to her explanation. He pointed to the door and said, "Okay, the front desk over there needs a clerk to answer the phone. You can do it first. The monthly salary is 1,000 yuan for the time being. I will change your position later."
Li Shan can be considered a little star now, but she has a good attitude. She knows that her height and appearance are not outstanding, and there will be no development if she continues to be an actress. Kang Jianfei gives her a monthly salary of 1,000. For a front desk clerk,
It was not too low to say, so Li Shan agreed without saying a word.
About half an hour later, the second applicant came. He was a middle-aged man carrying a leather bag and looked very calm.
"Hello, Mr. Kang, this is my resume."
Mr. Kang opened his resume and glanced at it. He found that this guy had worked in several film companies whose names he had never heard of. He asked: "Hello, what position are you applying for?"
The man said, "I'm here to apply for a job as a production manager."
Kang Jianfei stretched out his fingers to dig at the corners of his eyes and said, "Sorry, I will take on this position concurrently."
The man said: "I can also be the artist manager."
Kang Jianfei asked: "If you were the manager of the artist department and I handed over the management contracts of Wen Bixia and Li Saifeng to you, how would you plan to package and promote them?"
The man said: "I know a lot of film companies. If I take more movies for them, I will make more money for the company. If they shoot more movies, they will become more popular."
Kang Jianfei asked again: "Then what do you think should be done for them?"
The person said: "They are still young now. They don't need to consider the quality of the film when accepting a film. The most important thing is to maintain the screen presence."
"Nothing else?" Kang Jianfei asked.
The man said: "No more."
Kang Jianfei threw the person's resume aside and said to him: "Okay, you go back and wait for the news."
After sending this ungrateful guy away, two more applicants came in succession, but both of them were fooled by Kang Jianfei and left.
Not long after, a handsome guy with two mustaches walked in. As soon as he met him, Kang Jianfei felt that this man looked familiar.
Kang Jianfei stood up and shook hands with him. He was thinking about where he had seen this person when he heard the person introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Kang, my name is Chen Xunqi..."
"boom!"
After shaking hands, Kang Jianfei was about to sit back in the boss's chair. When he heard the words "Chen Xunqi", he tilted his buttocks and sat down on the ground, almost overturning the chair.
Chen Xunqi, the best scorer among Hong Kong directors, the best producer among scorers, the best speed director among producers, the best screenwriter among speed directors, one of the most famous actors among screenwriters, among actors One of the most successful directors. Wang Jiawei worked as a screenwriter under him for six years. He also did the soundtrack for Wang Jiawei's "Chungking Express", "Fallen Angels", "Ashes of Time", and served as the director of "The World's Unparalleled". Not only that, he is also the executive director, action director and director of films such as "Eagle", "Drunken Master 2", "Human Torch", "Glass Bottle", "Rush Hour", "Ransom King" and other films. Speed director.
If Zhong Zhiwen is an all-rounder in movies, then Chen Xunqi is an all-rounder in movies.
Of course, none of the above can make Kang Jianfei lose his composure. The reason why Kang Jianfei was embarrassed just now is that he slept with Chen Xunqi's daughter in his previous life, and was beaten up by Chen Xunqi because of it...
It stands to reason that Kang Jianfei, who has been practicing Crane Boxing since he was a child, is not easily beaten, but Chen Xunqi is a black belt in Taekwondo at the age of 20. He goes to the British soldiers stationed in Hong Kong for training every day. During the competition, Chen Xunqi found that his leg skills were good, but his upper body attacks But his strength was not enough, so he went to practice White Eyebrow Boxing, Hong Boxing and Wing Chun. He also often learned swords, guns and sticks from mainland martial arts teams.
当年康剑飞被陈勋旗揍得,可是差点就答应娶他女儿了,幸好最后使了个小计谋逃脱.
The beating he received was so impressive that Kang Jianfei still felt guilty when he heard Chen Xunqi's name.
Kang Jianfei swallowed, coughed and said, "Mr. Chen, please sit down and introduce yourself to your business experience."
Chen Xunqi said: "I started studying film scoring when I was fifteen years old. I started working as an actor a few years ago. I was at Shaw Brothers and later at Golden Harvest. I was the one who composed the soundtrack for the play "Junior Brother"."
Kang Jianfei calmed down a little now and asked: "Why don't you continue working in Jiahe and choose to come to my small company?"
Chen Xunqi explained: "I like to try different things. I got a little tired of doing soundtracks and actors, and suddenly wanted to change my career to become a director. It is impossible for a big company like Jiahe to let me become a director all at once, and I don't even have the opportunity to train to be a director.
, so I want to try a small company."
Kang Jianfei asked: "You want to be a director, do you have any directing experience?"
Chen Xunqi shook his head and said: "Not at all, so I want to learn from Mr. Kang's experience. Maybe I can become a director next year."
Kang Jianfei wiped the sweat from his palms and said: "I welcome talents like Mr. Chen. Why don't you do this? I will start a new film in half a month. You will be my assistant during the filming, and you will be you again later."
How about the soundtrack of the old line?"
"Of course." Chen Xunqi smiled.
Kang Jianfei said: "In terms of salary..."
Chen Xunqi's family is not very wealthy, but he doesn't care about the salary. He said: "Mr. Kang can give me the salary as long as he pays me. After all, I am here to learn."
"Well, you can stay in the production department for now. The monthly salary is 1,500 per month, and it will be calculated separately when filming." Kang Jianfei said.
After Chen Xunqi was sent away, Kang Jianfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The psychological shadow left by Chen Xunqi in his previous life was too serious.

In the past, it was difficult to check the overseas box office of Hong Kong films. I checked the information for a few hours in the afternoon and found that the information in many regular media and websites was wrong. For example, the global box office of Jackie Chan's "Plan A", now all the information on the Internet is wrong.
Yes, it does not include the box office in Southeast Asia, Australia and other regions. I will estimate the overseas box office in the future, it won’t be too outrageous but it will never be accurate.
In addition, it was wrong to say that Hong Kong's movie ticket prices have not increased in seven years. It has been revised: the average ticket price in 1979 was 6.9 yuan, the average ticket price in 1980 was 8.2 yuan, and the average ticket price in 1981 was 10.5 yuan.
