Chapter 24
: Twenty-Four [Happy Daddy]
Early the next morning, Kang Jianfei received a call from Zhao Yazhi as soon as he woke up. On the phone, Zhao Yazhi’s voice was hoarse, and she said weakly, “A Fei, I’m sick today, and I can’t go to the studio to film. Please tell Uncle Tianlin and see how you can adjust the time.”
Kang Jianfei asked with concern: “Sister Zhi is ill? Is it serious, or I’ll go see you.”
“No, no,” Zhao Yazhi quickly declined, “it’s just a small problem with a cold and fever, just take some medicine.”
“Okay then, I’ll inform Uncle Tianlin right away.” Kang Jianfei said and then urged, “Sister Zhi, you should pay attention to your health, recuperate at home, and don’t let yourself be wronged, I will handle it with the crew. .”
Zhao Yazhi’s voice paused on the phone, and said with a slightly moved tone: “Thank you, Fei, I will take care of myself, and say sorry to Uncle Tianlin, Brother Fa, and Liangwei on my behalf.”
“Okay, you can recuperate at ease, bye!” Kang Jianfei hung up the phone, humming the tune of “Shanghai Beach” and started dressing and washing. Zhao Yazhi suddenly called to ask for leave, indicating that his little trick had worked, and it seemed that the effect was very good, so that Zhao Yazhi was in the mood to film.
As for the excuse of being sick, Kang Jianfei is not a fool, so he won’t believe it.
Standing in front of the mirror on the dressing table, Kang Jianfei looked at himself in the mirror, smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Kang Jianfei never thought how important a man’s appearance is. What’s the use of having a little white face? No money, no power, no talent, no matter how handsome you are, you can get extra points when you eat soft rice or be a cowherd.
Eh, this is what he thought in his previous life, because he was ordinary looking, he could only think so, otherwise who would think that he was too good-looking?
Right now, this face is much more upright. Although it doesn’t have the looks of Pan An and Song Yu, it’s still completely qualified to act as a niche student. It’s a pity that my skin is a little darker. I used to bask in the sun when I was working in Baoan’s countryside. Fortunately, it will be white again after a few years of sun exposure.
When he passed the living room, Hu Juncai came out yawning, his eyes narrowed, and he didn’t seem to wake up.
Kang Jianfei pushed open the door and walked out, and Hu Juncai asked from behind, “Going to work so early? It’s only after seven o’clock.”
“Go upstairs!” Kang Jianfei closed the door with his backhand.
The door to Wang Tianlin’s house was knocked on, and it was the door opened by Wang Jing’s wife Huang Yumei. Huang Yumei saw that it was Kang Jianfei. Although she was surprised that he had come so early, she let him into the room without asking any more questions.
Wang Tianlin was taking a shower when Kang Jianfei stood outside the bathroom and said, “Uncle Tianlin, Sister Zhi just called to say that she is ill and can’t film today.”
“What?” Wang Tianlin took the toothbrush out of his mouth. His mouth was full of foam. He pulled out the toothbrush and asked, “What’s wrong with her, it won’t take long, right?”
Kang Jianfei said, “It doesn’t seem that he is seriously ill, and he will be able to appear in the film tomorrow.”
“That’s good.” Wang Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief.
Who does not encounter some unexpected incidents during filming this year? Compared with the last time Zheng Shaoqiu passed out and was hospitalized, the popular “People in the Net” is a strange one. The female number one, Miao Jianren, suddenly resigned after eight episodes. Producer Li Tiansheng had to let an actress act as Miao Jianren’s stand-in first, and then asked the screenwriter to rewrite the script and write the female number one to death in the sixteenth episode. By the way, the original female No. 2 was righted, and finally a new female No. 2 was added.
Since “The Beach” has a complete script and is scheduled to start broadcasting on December 3, it is still early. It is estimated that the drama will be finished when the broadcast starts. Even if there is a delay of three or five days in the middle, Wang Tianlin is not in a hurry. Instead, he said to Kang Jianfei: “If the illness is getting better slowly, you can let Azhi rest for two more days, and don’t be in a hurry.”
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, “Okay.”
Wang Tianlin didn’t bother to brush his teeth anymore, so he took two sips of water, wiped his face and said, “A Fei, you should immediately inform all departments of the crew and the relevant actors that this morning’s 116th scene was skipped. If there is any actor who can’t be adjusted. , tell me immediately, and I will make another adjustment.”
Kang Jianfei took out the workbook he carried with him, and regarded Wang Tianlin as his home. He sat in the living room and made a phone call. After making more than 30 phone calls all the time, Kang Jianfei drooled, and finally arranged things properly.
After the call was over, Wang Jing came out yawning and greeted Kang Jianfei with his mouth half open: “A Fei, morning!”
“Morning.” Kang Jianfei laughed.
The two fat men, big and small, were busy for a long time before they were ready to go out. Kang Jianfei went downstairs with them, and called Hu Juncai on the way, so they could rub Wang Tianlin’s car.
Although Wang Jing has written a lot of scripts, he is still very poor. He also drove his father’s car last time. Now that he has a wife and daughter, Wang Jing’s life is very stressful, and he is planning to make movies to make money and buy a house.
On the way to the studio, Wang Jing asked his father Wang Tianlin, “Old Dou, what do you think I’d like to make a movie?”
Wang Tianlin spoke slowly, and his reaction seemed to be slow. After waiting for Wang Jingqing to finish for a while, he asked back, “Why did you think of making a movie?”
Wang Jing smiled and said, “Of course it’s to make money.”
Wang Tianlin said slowly and leisurely: “It’s okay to practice at a low cost. I’ll ask Uncle Six to help you and show it in Shaw Brothers for a few days to see if you can get the money back.”
Wang Jing said with a bitter face: “No, you are so sure that I can’t sell well at the box office?”
Wang Tianlin taught his son: “30 years ago, when I was directing my first movie, Doudou, it was the same idea as you, thinking that my movie would definitely be a hit, but it was a complete mess. I was also discouraged, thinking that I was not Luckily, I survived the idea of being a director. So, when you are making your first movie, you must first put your mind right. Don’t think about how much you will earn, you should first think about how much you will lose. In this way, earning Of course you will be happy, and you won’t suffer too much if you lose, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.”
Kang Jianfei was somewhat envious as he listened beside him, thinking that having a capable father would be different. Wang Jing only said that he wanted to make a movie. His father not only promised to help contact the movie theater for the release, but also told him a lot of life experiences. And he Kang Jianfei, everything can only rely on himself.
Wang Jing has the right to lose money and come back again. His father is behind him, but Kang Jianfei can’t lose. Once the film is released, he will write “Searching for Qin” in vain. (I made a mistake in the number of words in “Looking for Qin Ji” earlier, Kang Jianfei can get up to 750,000 manuscript fees, which has been revised.)
After Wang Jing and his son had a few more chats, Kang Jianfei asked seemingly unintentionally, “Uncle Tianlin, if I make a movie, can I find it in Shaw Brothers’ theaters?”
“You make a movie?” Wang Tianlin didn’t take Kang Jianfei’s words seriously, and said with a smile, “If you make a movie, search all over Hong Kong, and no cinema is willing to show your movie.”
Kang Jianfei was silent for a while. Now Hong Kong’s cinemas are dominated by major cinema chains, and they will only give priority to their own company’s films. If Kang Jianfei wants to start his own company to make films, he can only be affiliated with a big company and become its satellite company, so that he can get filming opportunities.
Of course, there are also some retail cinemas in Hong Kong. However, the location of these cinemas is too poor, and they are all small cinemas with one or two hundred seats, or even dozens of seats, which cannot sell much at the box office.
Shaw Brothers still implements the large-scale studio system. It wants to control the entire process of film production, supply and sales, and does not support independent production. Even if it can be released in Shaw Brothers theaters, it will only give you the worst theater, the worst schedule, and the worst screening time. Therefore, Kang Jianfei seems to have only one option left, and that is to put his company in the name of Jiahe, which is what many small film companies in Hong Kong do at this time.
Kang Jianfei has no other skills, but he has self-knowledge. He didn’t plan to ask Wang Tianlin to help him contact the movie theater, because the friendship between the two was not that good, and rashly speaking would only embarrass both parties.
……
……
After filming “Going to the Beach” all morning, Wang Tianlin simply announced that he would stop work and rest in the afternoon because of the lack of drama.
Kang Jianfei went home and wrote the script for “Happy Ghost” for a while, then he went out and took a taxi to Zhao Ya’s house. He went to visit Zhao Yazhi on behalf of the entire crew – at least this reason sounded very convincing.
Zhao Yazhi and his wife moved out from the big family. The house is just a small villa. According to the housing price on Hong Kong Island, this villa is about 600,000 to 800,000.
Kang Jianfei rang the doorbell, and the one who opened the door was the maid who answered his call yesterday and revealed the phone number of Huang Hanwei Hospital. The maid asked cautiously, “Who are you looking for, sir?”
Kang Jianfei said politely, “Hello, I’m Kang Jianfei, the assistant director of TVB’s “Shanghai Beach”. Miss Zhao Yazhi didn’t go to filming today. I heard that she was ill. I came to visit her on behalf of the crew.”
When the maid heard that the crew came to offer condolences, she hesitated and said, “Wait a minute, sir, I’ll go and inform my wife.”
Kang Jianfei said with a very gentlemanly smile: “Please.”
The maid returned to the house and said to Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting on the sofa teasing her son: “Madam, there is Mr. Kang from a TV station outside who said he was visiting you on behalf of the crew. Do you want to let him in?”
Everyone has come, can it be possible to drive them away? Zhao Yazhi said, “Please come in.”
Kang Jianfei walked to the living room and saw Zhao Yazhi playing with his two-year-old son. Kang Jianfei, who had a keen eye, could see at a glance what was wrong with Zhao Yazhi today. Her hair was loose on one side, covering half of her face.
Zhao Yazhi smiled reluctantly and said, “A Fei is here, just sit down. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t greet you.”
Kang Jianfei sat unceremoniously on the sofa on the right side of Zhao Yazhi and said, “Sister Zhi, colds are easily contagious, and children have poor immunity, so it is best to avoid contact with children when you are sick, so as not to infect the cold virus. For a child, so let me hold it for you.”
Zhao Yazhi didn’t expect this loophole. In order to cover up the lie, he had to hand over his son to Kang Jianfei and said, “I was negligent.”
Kang Jianfei once hugged the child, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw that he was well-behaved and didn’t cry, but he really liked it. He scratched his little nose and asked, “Little guy, what’s your name?”
Zhao Yazhi taught from the side, “Xiaoguang, call your uncle.”
“Ah, ah…” The child waved his little hand and shouted indiscriminately, suddenly a few words popped out, “Uncle… Dad!”
dad…
Is this the rhythm of being a dad?
Kang Jianfei couldn’t help laughing, and said to Zhao Yazhi, who was a little embarrassed, “It seems that I have a good relationship with Xiaoguang, why don’t I be his godfather.”
Zhao Yazhi had a good impression of Kang Jianfei, and said casually, “Okay.”
As soon as Zhao Yazhi’s body moved, the hair covering his cheeks swayed a little, revealing a few bruised fingerprints.
Huang Hanwei’s slap last night was so powerful! No wonder Zhao Yazhi didn’t dare to go to the studio to film today, and the slap print on his face hasn’t dissipated yet.
As soon as Kang Jianfei saw the slap print, he immediately asked angrily, “Sister Zhi, which **** hit you in the face?”
“No, it’s nothing!” Zhao Yazhi covered her face with her hands, this is not a glorious thing, she didn’t want Kang Jianfei to know.

Khan, the cover of Banana Flow that I passed on to the related works didn’t pass the review. I’m really speechless.
In addition, this cover is okay now. Pharaoh searched for more than two hours of pictures this afternoon, and then downloaded the PS software to do it. I will use it for the time being.
