After the negotiations, several organizations were quickly formed. At the same time, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, the Hong Kong Directors Association, the Hong Kong Film Practitioners Association and other organizations also held separate meetings to discuss countermeasures regarding the "Tseung Kwan O Agreement".
Many people complained that Kang Jianfei had cut off their financial path, but there were also many knowledgeable people in the industry who praised Kang Jianfei's words at the meeting, believing that Kang Jianfei had set an example for Hong Kong filmmakers and was a well-deserved Hong Kong film star.
Leader level figure.
The impact of the "Tseung Kwan O Agreement" has not yet been fully revealed. It will at least eliminate a number of small production companies. It will also greatly increase the pressure on Hong Kong directors and bring new opportunities to screenwriters.
This meeting, which has a profound impact on the Hong Kong film industry, caused a huge shock in the industry, but ordinary citizens paid little attention to it. They only complained that movies in recent years have become increasingly unsightly.
According to Kang Jianfei's plan, he hopes that the Hong Kong Film Development Council can be established immediately after the return of 1997. If there is no official organization to guide and manage the development of an industry, it will be very difficult to rely on private organizations alone, and it will easily lead to disorder.
Chaotic situation.
In another time and space, the Hong Kong Film Development Council was not established until 2007. By that time, Hong Kong films were already dead.
As the leader of this meeting, he had to personally intervene in the subsequent series of events. He was so busy all day long that he couldn't even take care of filming a movie.
After finally sorting things out, it’s already May.
Tseung Kwan O Studios, Chairman’s Office.
Li Meifeng made a cup of tea and came in, then took out a folder and said, "Brother Fei. This is the artist information sent from Japan. Director Wu said that you need to review it in person."
Kang Jianfei took the folder and asked: "How is the preparation for "Face Changing" going?"
Li Meifeng said: "We are almost ready. All the vehicles, aircraft and weapons needed in the film will be in place soon."
Kang Jianfei had his own reasons for co-investing in the filming of "Face/Off". For example, for the military helicopters that appeared in the film, he had to rely on Paramount Pictures to contact him.
Kang Jianfei opened the folder, which contained information about some Japanese artists. Oriental Group has established a brokerage company in Japan, and now it has only signed three actors: Matsuzaka Keiko, Kurata Yasuaki and Oshima Yukari. The latter two are
Action actors, this time it is necessary to introduce one more person through "Face".
DreamWorks has been continuously impacting the Japanese film market in recent years. It is necessary to increase the number of Japanese actors. In the future, more and more Japanese actors will appear in DreamWorks films.
Turning to the first page, the profile photo showed a sweet-looking girl: "Riko Aoda. 18 years old. She debuted in the '17-year-old girl' talent show. She has not signed a contract with an agency. She has shot shampoo and chocolate commercials..."
Kang Jianfei took a brief look at the girl's information and turned it over. The image of a cute girl was not suitable for the role in "Face Changing".
After flipping through several pages in a row, Kang Jianfei suddenly stopped and looked at the information in his hand with some surprise: "Fujiwara Norika, 21 years old. The 1992 Miss Japan beauty pageant champion. She signed a contract with the agency oscar_production. She has been a graphic model for a long time and has no film and television performances.
experience……"
Kang Jianfei called Li Meifeng over and said, "Please help me check the situation of this Japanese agency called Oscar Production."
Li Meifeng went out and made a few calls, then came in with a handwritten information. She said: "oscar_production was founded in 1975, and the president is named Koga Seiichi. The company started with models, and has also entered the film and television industry in recent years.
The Japanese actor Kumiko Goto who starred in Cheng Long's "City Hunter" last year is a contracted artist of this agency..."
Kang Jianfei asked again: "How strong is this company?"
Li Meifeng replied: "Among Japanese model agencies, this company is still very famous, but it has little influence in the Japanese entertainment industry. As for the specific strength, detailed investigation is needed to know."
"You ask Minister Ye to go to Japan to investigate. I want to acquire this company." Kang Jianfei handed the folder back to Li Meifeng and said, "Let Norika Fujiwara play the girl in "Face"."
The brokerage company established by Oriental Group in Japan was nothing more than a studio, and its business development was extremely slow. Kang Jianfei had planned to acquire a brokerage company for a long time, but he never encountered the right time or target.
The appearance of Norika Fujiwara was not enough for Kang Jianfei to mobilize all his efforts to acquire the company. He really took a fancy to the strength of the company oscar_production. A model agency can actually successfully launch a Japanese national beauty like Goto Kumiko, and also
Having him star in Cheng Long's movie shows that oscar_production has strong packaging and promotion capabilities.
Moreover, oscar_production is just a model agency that intends to enter the Japanese film and television industry. It has little involvement with Japanese television stations and film companies. Kang Jianfei's acquisition will not arouse the vigilance of Japanese colleagues - after all, the Japanese film and television industry is very exclusive.
Kang Jianfei wants to expand his entertainment empire. Mainland China is his first step, and the second step is the Japanese entertainment industry. As for Paramount and Oriental Film Company in the United States, they are just two nails.
The situation is too complicated and cannot be solved at the moment.
…
After handling all the trivial matters, Kang Jianfei finally had time to start the preparations for "The Sixth Sense".
Huang Qiusheng has been chosen to play the leading role of the psychiatrist, and Cai Zhuoyan has also been confirmed to play the small lead. Zhong Chuhong will play Cai Zhuoyan's mother. As for the psychiatrist's wife, Kang Jianfei thought about it a lot and gave the role to the newly signed actor.
Liu Jialing of the company.
Just last month, the couple Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing finally took the initiative to join the Oriental Entertainment Agency. Both of them are famous enough. Kang Jianfei will not treat them badly by giving the second female lead to Liu Jialing this time.
Express a stance.
Before the filming of "The Sixth Sense" started, Kang Jianfei unexpectedly received a call from Taiwan. The person who called him was Qiong Yao.
Kang Jianfei had no personal relationship with Qiong Yao, so he was a little confused after receiving the call. He didn't even remember when he gave Qiong Yao his personal phone number.
"Hello, Ms. Chen, I wonder what you want to see me for?" Kang Jianfei asked straight to the point.
Qiong Yao said: "It's like this. I have fallen in love with an actress. She is a contracted artist of your company. I hope she can play a role in my new drama."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "This is a good thing. I am very much looking forward to cooperating with Ms. Chen."
Qiong Yao said: "That actress is Taiwanese. She very much hopes to return to Taiwan for development. I wonder if your company can release her?"
Only then did Kang Jianfei understand what was going on. It turned out that Qiong Yao wanted to poach artists from his company. Speaking of which, Qiong Yao was also a very controlling person. In her TV series, the director and actors were not allowed to change a single word of the lines, but any important words in the TV series
The roles are basically signed to her own agency.
The actress who was attracted by Qiong Yao had a good chance of becoming famous, so Kang Jianfei was reluctant to let her go. He laughed and said, "Well, manager Zhang Guozhong is responsible for the agency's affairs. You can contact him.
.”
Qiong Yao then said: "I have communicated with Manager Zhang, but he refuses to let her go. To be honest, that actress has not been reused in your company and has only played a few supporting roles. I will buy her at a reasonable price."
Her agent made an appointment."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Ms. Chen has been talking for so long, but I don't know what the name of this female artist is?"
Qiong Yao said: "Her name is Chen Derong."
Kang Jianfei said nonchalantly: "Okay, let me ask about the specific situation first."
After hanging up Qiong Yao's call, Kang Jianfei curiously came to Zhang Guozhong to ask about the specific situation, and the results he got made him dumbfounded.
It turns out that Chen Derong used to live in Taipei. He was noticed by Qiong Yao when he was filming a commercial at the age of 14. Later, he made a movie called "Junior School Girls", which made Qiong Yao "heartbeat".
Qiong Yao wanted to sign Chen Derong at that time, and even invited Chen Derong and her daughter to her home. As a result, Chen's mother thought that her daughter was too old and had to wait three years for Chen Derong to grow up before filming with her.
Later, Chen Derong's family moved to Hong Kong and they had forgotten all about the three-year agreement with Qiong Yao. Chen Derong even signed a contract with Shao Daheng's Metropolitan Film Company. After the Metropolitan Film Company closed down last year, Chen Derong successfully signed another contract.
After entering the Oriental Entertainment Agency, Qiong Yao suddenly came to the door and said that she would fulfill her three-year contract.
Nima, what is this thing called?
It is said that Qiong Yao is too obsessed with the actress she has her eyes on. She fell in love with Wang Yan and wanted her to play Ziwei in "Returning the Pearl", but she had no time to refuse. When it came time to film "Returning the Pearl 2", Qiong Yao
Still determined to change her mind, she forced Wang Yan to join the cast and played the role of Qing Gege before she gave up.
A famous artist, a famous producer, actually made a three-year contract with a little girl.
Kang Jianfei was not impressed by Chen Derong, but Qiong Yao's persistence in her made Kang Jianfei interested, and he immediately asked someone to bring Chen Derong to his office.
His film and television company in Taiwan is in urgent need of influential works, and "New Dragon Inn", which has been filmed in mainland China, is just one of them. In addition, Kang Jianfei has contacted Jin Chaoqun, hoping that he can star in the sequel to "Bao Qingtian".
If you want to completely conquer the Taiwanese audience, the most lethal drama is Qiong Yao. If you can take this opportunity to cooperate with Qiong Yao, that would be great.
This Chen Derong can be regarded as a useful chess piece. (To be continued...)u
