"Really, Mr. Cha, how could you let Kang Jianfei shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!" Fang Yihua didn't look very good, and walked around complaining to Shao Yifu. +◆＋◆,
"Mr. Cha, it happened for a reason, so don't complain." Shao Yifu said impatiently.
Shao Yifu knew that Fang Yihua was not only anxious because of the popularity of Phoenix Channel's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but also hinted that he should put his energy into the wireless channel instead of the reopened Shaw Brothers Film Company.
Although the entertainment methods of today's citizens are becoming more and more diversified, it is impossible to repeat the crowd-pleased scenes when "Chu Liuxiang", "Shanghai Beach", and "Sister Tuoqiang" were popular, but the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still evident
Very crazy.
The two theme songs "Myth of Love" and "Return" quickly reached the top two on-demand lists of commercial radio stations and Radio Hong Kong. Various stickers with stills of Lu Songxian and Li Ruotong were sold in stationery stores and roadside stalls in Hong Kong.
.
But what Shao Yifu is paying attention to is Shaw Brothers' new film, a romantic comedy directed by Wang Jing and starring Ekin Cheng and Anita Yuen. It has been released at the same time as the second episode of "Inspector 500 Million". The results are self-evident, and the box office has almost been destroyed.
"Inspector Lei Luo" was a huge hit and only received 6.13 million at the local box office.
However, this has already met Shao Yifu's psychological expectations. His bottom line is 5 million box office. It is certain that the film will make money in Taiwan and Nanyang, so he decided to increase production.
Shao Yifu founded Shaw Brothers Film Company at the age of 50. Now, at the age of 84, he is preparing to start his own business again.
For Fang Yihua, this decision was opposed from the bottom of her heart. Because of the restarted Shaw Brothers Film Company, from the directors, screenwriters, photography, lighting and other behind-the-scenes staff to actors, stars, and publicity and distribution personnel, all had to come from TVB.
The secondment has seriously affected the normal operating order of the wireless station.
Nowadays, Fang Yihua has the final say at all levels of TVB, and Shao Yifu has to discuss with Fang Yihua if he wants to do something. The two of them obviously have different opinions this time and cannot talk together at all.
"Brother Six, the competition between Wireless Station and Phoenix Station in recent years has been at a slight disadvantage. We can no longer be half-hearted." Fang Yihua advised tactfully.
"I understand, you should go out first." Shao Yifu closed his eyes with a tired face.
It’s not okay to refuse to accept the old age!
When he was 50 years old, Shao Yifu founded Shaw Brothers. He had food and accommodation at the Shaw Brothers studio.
When he was 60 years old, Shao Yifu assisted Li Xiaohe in establishing TVB. He also had food and accommodation on the set.
Now Shao Yifu is 84 years old. Although he is determined to revive Shaw Brothers, he can no longer live and eat on the set. What makes Shao Yifu feel most chilling is that no one around him anymore supports him to continue making movies. He feels quite lonely.
A sense of desolation.
If Fang Yihua, a confidante, doesn't support it, and Wang Tianlin, an old subordinate, doesn't want to help, how can the new Shaw Brothers do it just by relying on a few TV drama directors from TVB?
"Oh, I wish I had children and grandchildren as capable as Kang Jianfei!" Looking at Fang Yihua leaving, Shao Yifu not only lamented inwardly that he had no successors, but none of his sons and grandchildren had much interest in Shaw Brothers and TVB.
.
Unlike Shao Yifu's feelings, Zou Wenhuai was in a good mood during this period. His daughter Zou Chongyan returned from studying in the United States. She officially entered Jiahe and held an important position, and will gradually take over the entire Jiahe in the next few years.
But what gives Chow Wenhuai a headache is that Cheng Long did not film the company's film. He actually went to film for the troubled Hong Kong Directors Guild. If this happened ten years ago, Chow Wenhuai would have used various means to beat Cheng Long. Unfortunately, now he can only be used to it.
Let him be pampered.
…
In front of the Peninsula Hotel, the crew of "Double Dragon Club".
Kang Jianfei was standing in the lobby on the first floor wearing a suit and ties. He was going to guest star as a hotel manager, and several scenes could be filmed in two days.
"The eighth scene of "Double Dragon Club" has 2 shots and 1 shot, Aikesh!"
In a close-up shot, Cheng Long's hands were shaking like he was playing a piano. He took a puff of cigarette, waved his hands with a frown and said, "How can I get enough 300,000?"
The camera panned to the right, showing Kang Jianfei standing next to a luxury car. Teddy Robin stood facing Kang Jianfei, only as tall as Kang Jianfei's chest.
"Gao Chen, give me my money quickly!" Teddy Robin raised his head and shouted at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei played with his nails, then put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "Didn't you take my car to the race last time? How will this account be settled?"
Teddy Robin said angrily: "Hey, brother, you also bet on that game. If you win, you will get some money!"
Kang Jianfei gestured exaggeratedly and said: "The car belongs to my boss. After the race, the whole engine fell apart. The money won is not enough to repair it!"
Cheng Long entered the mirror, rushed out from the left, grabbed Kang Jianfei's collar, and forced him: "What do you mean?"
Kang Jianfei was pressed against the car door by Cheng Long, and said with an expression of anger: "This car has just been refueled..."
The one-and-a-half-minute long shot was performed by Kang Jianfei, Cheng Long and Teddy Robin. All three of them were veterans and it was easy to pass it all in one go.
Xu Ke yelled "Ka" loudly, and Kang Jianfei stood up straight, took off his tie and threw it aside. He only had this one night scene, so he could call it a day, and if he could do it again during the day tomorrow, it would be basically done.
Cheng Long and Teddy Robin were still going on, and Kang Jianfei called Liu Fei to his side and said, "Call and order some late-night snacks. Everyone in the crew will have a share."
No need to call, there are many restaurants in the Peninsula Hotel, and someone will deliver late night snacks in a short time.
After taking another shot, Xu Ke shouted: "Mr. Kang, please eat, everyone, please take a rest."
Cheng Long was so exhausted after filming all day that he came over and sat down on the steps. He ate two mouthfuls of wonton noodles and took a big bite of roast goose. He praised: "It tastes very good. It would be great if I had beer."
Already."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "If I buy you wine and get you drunk, I'm afraid that Old Monster Xu will cause trouble for me."
Xu Ke said, "I don't dare. The most I can do is ask a rich man like you to pay for missed work."
A lighting engineer yelled: "There is no need to pay for lost time. As long as Mr. Kang gives each person a red envelope, we will do unpaid work for Director Xu."
It was not a funny sentence, but the crew burst into laughter. Kang Jianfei, the richest man in Hong Kong, was so easy to talk to, so everyone felt a sense of accomplishment when making jokes about him.
Cheng Long said to Kang Jianfei: "I heard that Mr. Kang had a new son last month, but I haven't had time to congratulate him yet."
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Kang Jianfei said with a cheerful smile. He was quite proud of his sowing ability.
Cheng Long said with envy: "Mr. Kang is really cool. He can deal with so many beauties calmly. He is simply a role model for men in the world. Mr. Kang, why don't you teach me two tricks on how to make several women not jealous of each other?"
?”
Kang Jianfei pointed at Cheng Long and said with a smile: "Don't bring it up on yourself. Aaron, you hid it deeply enough. There are several women there without saying a word."
Cheng Long quickly denied: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I was just making a metaphor."
Xu Ke also joked: "Aaron, please don't hide it. Don't say that you and that Hong Kong girl are innocent. I was at the Four Seasons Hotel last time..."
"Haha, Lao Xu, you must have read it wrong, eat noodles, eat noodles!" Cheng Long said with a haha, he was very careful about hiding his romantic affairs.
Xu Ke seized on the loophole in Cheng Long's words and complained: "I haven't said I saw you at the Four Seasons Hotel yet, how do you know I was wrong?"
Cheng Long smiled awkwardly and said: "This matter must be kept secret. I don't have Mr. Kang's temperament of letting others discuss it."
Kang Jianfei was not interested in Cheng Long's private life and asked casually: "Aaron, what are your plans after filming "The Club of Two Dragons"?"
Cheng Long didn't want to reveal Jiahe's shooting plan, so he only said: "Let's rest for a while. I'm a little tired in the past six months."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Are you interested in cooperating with DreamWorks to make a film that will enter Hollywood?"
Everyone knows Kang Jianfei's ability to grasp the European and American film markets. Cheng Long was moved when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Kang, be a director?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "I can be a screenwriter."
Cheng Long has always wanted to break into the American market, but the current situation is extremely embarrassing. He is slightly famous in the United States, but the box office of his films has always been ugly. Of course, this kind of ugliness is also relatively speaking. The box office of Cheng Long's films in the United States has completely exploded.
Ninety-nine percent of Hong Kong movies.
The effect of a movie depends more on the director. If Kang Jianfei was the director himself, Cheng Long would definitely agree without thinking, but just writing the script made him hesitant.
"I'll think about it." Cheng Long said with some room for thought.
"Of course you can. You can come to me at any time when you think about it." Kang Jianfei didn't necessarily want to cooperate with Cheng Long. He asked Cheng Long to film the movie just to make trouble, with a bad taste that disgusted Jiahe.
Before Cheng Long finished his supper, Zeng Bolin suddenly came over with a mobile phone and whispered: "Boss, Mr. Cameron's phone number."
Kang Jianfei took the phone and answered a few times, said "I understand" and then hung up. Then he said to Xu Ke: "The main project of the filming base in Brunei has been completed. I will be there in two days.
Let’s seize the time to finish filming my scenes tomorrow.”
"I try my best to coordinate." Xu Ke said.
Cheng Long asked curiously: "That science fiction film with an investment of hundreds of millions?"
Kang Jianfei smiled, nodded, and asked, "Are you interested in making a guest appearance along with Aaron?"
Cheng Long also wanted to see a Chinese science fiction masterpiece, and help Jiahe explore the details. He readily agreed: "Okay, just give me a small role."
Xu Ke greeted again and took a shot, while Kang Jianfei got in the car and left the filming location.
After the car was on the road, Zeng Bolin said to Kang Jianfei: "Boss, Li Ruotong, she wants to thank you in person. I don't know when you will be free."
"The night after tomorrow." Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said.
Zeng Bolin asked pointedly: "Do you need any special arrangements?"
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "No, just help me book a room at Hongye Club. If I go to eat somewhere else, I have to recruit reporters." (To be continued...) u
