Weng Hong knocked on the door and walked into the office. The moment she saw Kang Jianfei, her heart beat wildly and she kept telling herself: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must seize it, you must seize it!
"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Weng Hong strode over quickly. She wanted to appear calm and generous, so that Kang Jianfei could see the capable spirit in her, not just a vase who could act.
Unfortunately, Kang Jianfei's aura was so strong that just sitting there without moving made her a little breathless. After saying the greeting, she suddenly became a little embarrassed and stood there stupidly like an ignorant girl.
It felt like I was back in the beauty pageant back then, anxiously waiting for the judges' decision.
"Sit down!" Kang Jianfei smiled at her with encouragement.
"Thank you." Weng Hong breathed a sigh of relief and sat down carefully.
Kang Jianfei looked through the documents and asked: "Why are you applying for administrative positions if you don't become a good actor?"
Weng Hong took a deep breath, smiled and said: "I want to challenge myself, and I think I am qualified for this job."
Kang Jianfei did not hesitate to expose her: "I want to hear the truth."
The smile on Weng Hong's face suddenly stiffened, and she could only tell the truth: "I can't continue filming, but I can't stand it any longer. The recruitment information the company posted this time is for a general manager assistant, and I just want to give it a try."
In the years after Weng Hong participated in the beauty pageant, her development momentum was still good. Unfortunately, there are more beauty pageants every year, and she could not produce very representative works, so she was gradually forgotten by people. She has been filming for the past two years.
Small-budget films, or small supporting roles in blockbusters.
Weng Hong is a very enterprising woman. She is unwilling to be mediocre. She wants to attract the attention of movie fans again. Therefore, in another time and space, without any thought, she risked her life and agreed to star in Wang Jing's 3.-level film. From "Unstoppable"
"The Style of Living" to "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties", and then to "Twelve Rooms in the Qing Building" and "The Strange Case of the Forbidden Palace in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties". Weng Hong has indeed re-established herself with a series of 3.-level films.
Returning to the public eye, it has become a hot topic in the media.
The fame was there, but unfortunately it has turned into notoriety and fame. From then on, Weng Hong was labeled as a third-level porn star.
Shu Qi also filmed a Category 3 movie. She was able to take off the clothes and put them back on piece by piece, and she was able to win the Best Actress award based on her own ability.
But in the Chinese film industry, there is only one Shu Qi.
Although Weng Hong attracted some attention after filming a 3.-level film, her subsequent stardom was extremely bumpy, even affecting her marriage and family.
Kang Jianfei still knew something about Weng Hong's life experience. He asked with a smile: "Now that you know that I am hiring an assistant, are you still confident that you are qualified?"
Weng Hong immediately replied: "Mr. Kang, I will try my best to do it well!"
"Stand up!" Kang Jianfei ordered without any doubt.
Although Weng Hong didn't understand what he wanted to do, she still stood up obediently.
Kang Jianfei added: "Take two steps back and turn around in a circle for me to take a look."
Weng Hong immediately stepped back. She was a dancer. A simple turn around gave her a different kind of charm, and a fragrant breeze blew up from her sleeves.
Kang Jianfei took a closer look and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
When Weng Hong was in the beauty pageant, the baby fat on her face had receded, and she had a standard oval face. Her breasts were not big, but her legs were slender and slender, and her body proportions were excellent.
"Mr. Kang, is it okay?" Weng Hong asked anxiously.
Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded: "Ask Secretary Li to take you to the Human Resources Department to report. You will be my personal assistant for the time being. In the future, you will not be filming movies or TV series."
Weng Hong understood immediately and said in surprise: "Thank you Mr. Kang for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work harder!"
"Go." Kang Jianfei waved his hand.
Weng Hong happily went out to find Li Meifeng, who gave her a meaningful look and took Weng Hong to the human resources department to report. As Kang Jianfei's personal assistant, she also signed a thick confidentiality agreement
After writing the letter, he officially took office.
Back upstairs, Li Meifeng warned: "As Mr. Kang's personal assistant, you only need to remember three points."
"You said." Weng Hong immediately listened carefully.
"First, be loyal; second, be strict with your mouth, and third, whatever Mr. Kang says is whatever he says." Li Meifeng said.
Weng Hong nodded immediately: "I understand."
Li Meifeng added: "You cannot interfere with the specific affairs of the company. I will hand over Mr. Kang's schedule to you, and then you can get it to Mr. Kang for confirmation. Mr. Kang will make arrangements for what to do."
Weng Hong finally understood that her so-called personal assistant was just Kang Jianfei's follower. She was usually responsible for communicating and conveying news, and might also need to carry bags and water, and could not participate in the company's affairs.
Even so, Weng Hong was very happy about it.
Because a personal assistant means a confidant, even if he can only communicate and deliver news, this is a great right. Just like the eunuch next to the emperor, he has little power, but in the eyes of civil and military officials, he is a popular person who cannot be offended.
Li Meifeng quickly threw a bunch of documents and invitations to Weng Hong, and she officially entered work that afternoon.
After lunch, Weng Hong came to the chairman's office and reported: "Mr. Kang, the mainland has invited you to attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony and serve as an important guest. It will be two months from now. How should you respond?"
Kang Jianfei said: "If you reject it, it means that I am preparing a new film. In my name, you can send a congratulatory message to the Golden Rooster Awards and wish the Golden Rooster Awards become more and more prosperous."
Weng Hong made a cross on the notepad and asked again: "Next Wednesday is the 13th birthday of Zheng Zhiwen, the daughter of the Zheng family. She is going to study in the UK to attend junior high school, so this time the Zheng family made a big splash and invited you to the birthday dinner.
.”
"Which Zheng family?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Weng Hong explained: "Zheng Yu is with the Zheng family."
"Oh, it turns out it's Zheng Jiachun's daughter's birthday. You can help me attend it and pick out a birthday gift. I won't go there myself." Kang Jianfei gave a special instruction. He and Zheng Jiachun are jointly engaged in real estate business in the Mainland.
It's natural to express your daughter's birthday.
Weng Hong asked: "Are there any specific requirements for gifts?"
Asking such a question clearly meant that she was not a competent personal assistant. However, when she just took office, Kang Jianfei was not demanding and said: "You can make up your own mind about this kind of thing from now on. The value of the gift cannot be too high, nor can it be too low. You see
Let’s do it.”
"Understood." In fact, Weng Hong didn't understand. She was so confused that she didn't understand what the value should not be too high or too low.
Kang Jianfei asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Also," Weng Hong quickly took out several documents, "These require your signature."
Kang Jianfei said speechlessly: "Next time, please put business matters first. Private matters can be reported slowly."
"Oh." Weng Hong blushed, thinking that she was in trouble this time and left a bad impression on her boss on the first day she took office.
…
While Kang Jianfei was signing the documents, in a reception room of Star Group, several filmmakers were trying to trick Lin Jianyue into investing in a film company.
The leader is called Johnson. This person used to be the head of publicity and promotion of Princess Golden Entertainment Company. He also served as the creative director of Princess Golden. He wrote the scripts for "The Story of Playing Back from School" and "New Meteor and Butterfly Sword". He is also considered a senior executive.
An insider.
After Golden Princess announced its disbandment, he went to Star Media to do a TV variety show. Not long ago, Star Media sold off the Chinese channel of Satellite TV. He felt that his future was bleak, so he took a group of brothers who worked together at the Chinese channel to prepare a movie.
Making movies requires money, and you need to invest money with a promoter. Lin Jianyue, the young boss of Star Group, is undoubtedly a very suitable promoter.
Lin Jianyue became the vice chairman of Star Group seven years ago. To describe him in eight words, he is young and energetic, ambitious and talented. He suffered losses on several huge investments. It was not until he gained experience that he became a veteran driver of shopping malls. This young boss
Only then did he finally show his talent, and within a few years, the Lin family returned to its status as one of the top ten plutocratic families in Hong Kong.
Although today's Lin Jianyue is famous for being a prodigal, he is not a fool. He said: "Didn't I say that from last year to this year, the Hong Kong film market has been in a downturn? You want me to invest in movies now?"
"Mr. Lin, now is a good time to get involved in the film industry," Johnson said deceptively. "The current situation of Hong Kong films is the same as it has been for more than ten years. Regardless of the market downturn, that is because of film production techniques and
Concepts cannot keep up with the needs of the audience. Take Eric Tsang’s UFO as an example. This company has only been established for more than a year. Last Christmas, two movies ranked first and second at the box office, beating all established companies. On the surface, Hong Kong’s
The theater chain business is difficult to do, but just like bargain hunting in the stock market, Mr. Lin can purchase and establish a large theater chain at the lowest price."
Lin Jianyue said: "But I don't understand the film industry either."
Johnson struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, as long as the film company is established, you will be responsible for the administration and finance, and I will take care of the production and publicity. I was responsible for the promotion and distribution of Princess Golden back then, and I also have the production team, all of whom have been working for many years.
An old man. In addition, I am very familiar with Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen, and Eric Tsang. Huang Baiming aside, I will definitely be able to recruit Gao Zhisen to be the director for the film."
"I'll think about it again." Lin Jianyue was actually tempted.
He returned from studying abroad a few years ago and became the vice president of the group to please his father, but the business was really bad. The internal relations in the Lin family are very complicated. He was hindered by all kinds of malicious intentions when he wanted to do things. Some people just
I wish him bad luck.
He couldn't do anything in the family business and was always looking for new investment areas. The emergence of SC Johnson just scratched his itch.
In another time and space, ATV was acquired by Star Group, and Lin Jianyue transferred from the television industry to the film industry, thus creating the famous Media Asia Group. This company invested in and produced "The Investment Certificate", "The City",
"Assembly" and other films, the most famous masterpiece is undoubtedly the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, which can be said to be fruitful.
But because of Kang Jianfei's appearance, ATV had long been transformed into Phoenix TV, so Lin Jianyue was not familiar with the entertainment industry.
Lin Jianyue only thought about it for two days this time before calling SC Johnson over. At the end of May, news suddenly came out - Media Asia Films officially announced its establishment.
In 1994, when Hong Kong movies were in decline, there was finally another big financier who plunged headlong into this quagmire.
