Ma Yunsheng was drunk and dazed, and his butt slid to the ground. A plate of braised carp was brought down by him and he was slapped squarely in the face.
Pan Yingzi, who had been pestered by Fatty Ma, was also the one with Xiafei's cheeks at this time. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally got him!"
Next to her, Lin Zhengying's face was red from drinking. He had a taciturn personality and had not spoken a few words since coming to Taipei. However, seeing that Ma Yunsheng had ill intentions towards Pan Yingzi, Lin Zhengying took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of drinking with Pan.
Together, Ying Zi beat the fat man to death.
Chen Xunqi stood up and said: "This idiot's driver is downstairs. I'll call him up to carry him."
Kang Jianfei kicked Ma Yunsheng on the ground. Seeing that the pervert didn't react at all, he bent down and grabbed his collar, lifted him up, put him on a chair and sat down, and asked Lin Zhengying and Pan Yingzi:
"Are you guys okay?"
Pan Yingzi smiled and said: "It's okay, I didn't drink a few drinks, but Ah Ying drank a lot."
Lin Zhengying shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter to me, this drink is nothing. This Ma Yunsheng has evil intentions. Sister Pan, you must be more careful in the future."
Pan Yingzi looks like a girl at the age of 31, but Lin Zhengying is so old that she calls Kang Jianfei "Uncle Ying" at the age of 28. Now they call each other "Aying" and "Sister Pan", which Kang Jianfei always feels is weird.
"Am I going to suffer from him?" Pan Yingzi glanced at Ma Yunsheng with disdain and said, "This guy is just a loser."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "If you can become the general manager of China Film and Television City, you can't say that this person is useless."
Pan Yingzi explained: "China Film Company is a party-run organization, and Ma Yunsheng climbed up through nepotism. However, he will not be famous for long. More than half of Taiwan's film companies have closed down in the past two years. Ma Yunsheng's China Film Culture City
Business is also very little."
Kang Jianfei asked in surprise: "Half of them are bankrupt? Taiwanese movies have collapsed so much!"
Pan Yingzi said: "Yes, many Taiwanese film talents have gone to Hong Kong to develop their careers. It is no longer possible to make films in Taiwan. Only large party-run companies like China Film Group can still sustain it."
The rate of decline of Taiwanese movies is indeed alarming. In the first half of last year, the situation was very good, but in the second half of the year, movies began to hit the streets one after another. But this year is even worse. Taiwan's top three annual box office, the box office champion is the United States.
"Sakura Romance", the second and third films are all Hong Kong films. In the past, there were only a few moviegoers for romantic and artistic films that were big hits.
Especially "Sakura Love", this movie is a 1957 Hollywood movie that was released twice in Taiwan in the 1950s and 1960s. Five years ago, it was bought by a Taiwanese film company at a high price to be screened again, but it was submitted for review the next day.
Chiang Kai-shek died, and all entertainment activities in Taiwan were stopped without review. It was delayed until this year before it was allowed to be released. This old movie from more than 20 years ago was screened for 4 months in a row for the third time in Taiwan, and won the annual award in one fell swoop.
Box office champion.
It can be seen from Taiwan's box office list this year that Taiwanese films have begun to decline overall.
Kang Jianfei, however, was thinking about those Taiwanese film talents and asked: "Sister Azi, if you know any Taiwanese filmmakers, you can get a few to join the company. Directors are not needed. I want art designers and makeup artists.
Such technical talent.”
Pan Yingzi didn't pay attention to Kang Jianfei's messy names and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask my friends another day."
While he was talking, Chen Xunqi had already brought Ma Yunsheng's driver up, and everyone carried the goods to pay and leave.
On the way back to the hotel, Kang Jianfei finally asked: "Sister Azi, do you know where Lin Qingxia lives?"
When Kang Jianfei mentioned Lin Qingxia, Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhengying all became excited. Lin Qingxia is the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia and the dream girl in the hearts of countless men.
"What are you looking for her for?" Pan Yingzi asked. She had only met Lin Qingxia a few times and had not had much contact with her.
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "Isn't it the end of Taiwanese films? I just took the opportunity to ask her to go to Hong Kong to make a movie. This is a great opportunity."

"Give way, give way!"
On a street in the China Film and Television Culture City, Hu Juncai shouted at the top of his voice. Behind him were more than a dozen porters, carrying coffins one by one.
Everyone on the street looked at him sideways, and many tourists even called him bad luck. Some people followed the porters curiously, wanting to see what Hu Juncai was doing with so many coffins.
A courtyard in the China Film Culture City has been rented by Kang Jianfei as the main filming location for "Mr. Zombie". Hu Juncai asked people to carry 10 coffins in. After placing the coffins, he opened the lid and found that they were full of ingot candles and
Paper figures and other sacrificial supplies.
The courtyard was not idle either, and was being renovated. One row of wing rooms had its doors and walls removed, and iron bars and backdrops were installed to serve as cells.
Not only that, with the help of local people, Qi Bo went to Yangming Mountain to find cemeteries, and directed workers to build a fake tomb with cement next to some old tombs. Two tombstones are also being ordered.
Chen Xunqi helped Kang Jianfei carry the "torture instrument" and sighed: "It was quite easy to be an actor and composer before. Now that I am learning to be a director, I realize that there are so many things to do in making a movie."
"It all depends on how you shoot it!" Kang Jianfei said, dusting off his hands. "Shaw Brothers makes it easy to make a movie. You can set up anything on the set. It takes more than ten days to make a movie. Unfortunately, today's audiences are no longer willing to buy it."
"Yes, today's audiences are accustomed to watching live action shots." Chen Xunqi knows this very well, because he worked on the Shaw Brothers studio when he was 15 years old.
While the two were talking, Chen You, who was wearing small glasses, walked into the courtyard, looked at the coffins and artifacts all over the courtyard, and exclaimed in an exaggerated way: "Wow, there is a dojo here!"
Chen You, one of the members of the band Winner, but more mainlanders know him because of the many comedies he has starred in.
Precisely because Chen You's performance in "Mr. Zombie" was so unique that he was even the leading actor in a subsequent sequel, Kang Jianfei didn't want to change the actor and still asked him to be Lin Zhengying's younger brother.
Lam Ching-ying and Chen You are to zombie movies what Stephen Chow is to nonsensical comedies. After changing the actors, the flavor changes.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here now?" Kang Jianfei was overjoyed when he saw Chen You, and quickly went up to shake hands and welcome him.
Chen You explained: "The day after tomorrow I have to film "It's a Cool Autumn", so I came here in advance. Ab arrived in Taipei in the evening because of something else. I heard from Miss Pan that you were also here, so I came over for a walk out of boredom."
Chen You was hired by Pan Yingzi. Chen Bingkun was okay with casting young actors, but Chen You was not qualified enough. The Wenner band had just disbanded at this time, and Chen You was planning to switch to the film industry, so he was not picky about accepting films. Kang Jianfei
As soon as the invitation was sent out, he immediately agreed.
As for "It's a Cool Autumn" that Chen You mentioned, it was a movie written by Hou Xiaoxian and directed by Chen Kunhou, starring Lin Fengjiao and Zhong Zhentao. It can be regarded as one of the few good works after the decline of Taiwanese films.
The Wenner band is very popular in Taiwan. Kang Jianfei invited Chen You to star in "Mr. Zombie" to please the Taiwanese audience. After all, Taiwan is an important market for Hong Kong films.
Speaking of the experience of Winner's band becoming popular in Taiwan, it was nothing short of miraculous. The speed with which Kang Jianfei filmed "Happy Ghost" was nothing compared to others.
A few years ago, the Wen Na band had become very popular in Southeast Asia, but because their Mandarin was so poor, they were never able to break into the Taiwan market. The Wen Na band's manager found China Television, and the two collaborated on a TV series called "New Journey to the West: The Iron Fan"
"Princess", in which Tang Monk, Master and Disciple, and the Bull Demon King are all starring members of the Winner Band.
The production process of this TV series is like this: I spent three hours all night writing the script the night before, started filming the next day, and started broadcasting on the third day. Then the Winners' poor Mandarin made the Taiwanese audience laugh, causing the ratings to skyrocket...
After Chen You arrived, he chatted with Kang Jianfei and Chen Xunqi and watched them work. He seemed to be quite interested in their work.
Kang Jianfei saw that he hadn't left even after staying for a long time, so he joked: "Since Mr. Chen likes making movies so much, he might as well join my company."
After hearing this, Chen You also said in a joking tone: "Okay, I don't know what to do after the band broke up, so making movies would be good."
Kang Jianfei didn't expect that he would actually agree. He was stunned for a moment, grabbed Chen You's hand and said, "Welcome to Oriental DreamWorks!"
"Ah?" Chen You was stunned for a moment. He thought Kang Jianfei was joking with him just now.
Now that the words were out of his mouth, Chen You was too embarrassed to go back on his word, so he joined DreamWorks in a daze.

Someone in the book review section guessed that Kang Jianfei would ask Lin Qingxia to film "Police Story". Well, they guessed wrong.
Lao Wang will give everyone a surprise when the time comes. It seems that no one has written about Kang Jianfei’s third and fourth movies in the future.
