Chapter 87
: Eighty-Seven [Each With A Scheming]
In the projection hall of the Golden Princess Cinema, only a dozen people were seated in the huge projection hall.
In addition to Kang Jianfei and Lei Juekun, Li Maowen, the general manager of the Golden Princess Cinema, and the managers of several other major theaters under the chain are also present.
The other two shareholders of the Golden Princess Cinema didn’t show up, because Lei Juekun’s strength left them completely speechless. Anyway, Princess Jin has started to make money now, so they just leave it behind and just sit at home and collect money.
In addition to this, the directors of several large independent cinemas sat in the screening hall, such as Li Dingchang, the manager of Lee Stage.
In the Hong Kong-British era, there were four major families in Hong Kong. These four families have different views, but no matter which view, the Lee family is among them. TVB TVB was founded by the third son of Lee Hysan, the founder of the Lee family, and Shao Yifu was just invited to become a shareholder.
The Lee Stage is also the property of the Lee family. It is not only used to show movies, but also to perform dramas, star concerts, etc. Teresa Teng held 3 concerts on the Lee Stage in the 1970s.
Including the manager of the Lee Stage, the other people who accepted the invitation were all directors of the Grand Theater.
The request to invite these people was initiated by Kang Jianfei. He felt that “Mr. Zombie” was fully qualified to be shown in a luxury theater.
“Mr. Zombie” was being shown on the screen. Except for Kang Jianfei, all the people present were some elderly people, but when they saw some places, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Mr. Zombie” is different from “Happy Ghost”. Although the latter is suitable for all ages, the main audience is still teenagers, and many older audiences don’t feel it. But “Mr. Zombie” is absolutely suitable for all ages, and children and the elderly can watch and laugh.
When the film ended, Lei Juekun took the lead in applauding and said with a big smile: “A Fei’s film is getting better and better, this time without Cheng Long standing in the way, it must have swept the Hong Kong box office.”
“Where, where, I need more help from the bosses.” Kang Jianfei said modestly.
Li Dingchang took the lead in expressing his position: “Director Kang’s “Mr. Zombie” is very good. Li Stage agreed to screen the film, and the sharing agreement is the same as that of Princess Jin.”
Several other independent movie theaters also expressed their willingness to show the film, which made Kang Jianfei very excited. As a result, the number of theaters for “Mr. Zombie” will reach 23.
After Li Dingchang and others left, Kang Jianfei suddenly asked, “Mr. Lei, I heard He Guanchang say that the release of “Happy Ghost” in Japan has collapsed?”
When Lei Juekun heard He Guanchang’s words, his pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly smiled: “It’s been discussed before, but now Princess Jin has sent people to contact the Japanese cinema dealers one by one, so far two negotiations have been settled. A small theater chain, “Happy Ghost” will be released in Japan at the latest next month.”
“That’s good.” Kang Jianfei smiled and said nothing.
The two talked and laughed as before, and seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, but they knew what each other meant.
Kang Jianfei mentioned He Guanchang’s name on purpose, just to remind Lei Juekun that I have nowhere to go. Jiahe has already handed me an olive branch, so don’t go too far.
The main reason why Kang Jianfei did this was that Hong Jinbao put too much pressure on him. As for Mecca and others, Kang Jianfei didn’t take it seriously.
How big is Hong Jinbao’s influence?
When he set up the Hong family class a few years ago, the entire Yuan family class joined together (including Cheng Long), and other martial artists from the Liu family class and the fan family class also responded to join the Hong family class.
A few days ago, Huang Shrimp only talked about the talents of Liu Jiaban, but did not mention poaching people in Hong Jiaban. The biggest reason is that he could not dig a corner in Hong Jiaban.
Zeng Zhiwei was originally a member of Liu’s family, but he also followed Hong Jinbao in the past few years. It’s just that he feels that his figure and appearance are not good. Although he makes a lot of money as a dragon and tiger martial artist, he can only be a substitute for a woman, which is not a long-term solution.
So in the past two years, Zeng Zhiwei began to reduce his work as a dragon and tiger martial artist and instead became a screenwriter, but the screenwriter could not satisfy him, and he had the mind of being a director again.
The problem is that Hong Jinbao has just taken refuge with Princess Jin, how can he help Zeng Zhiwei La invest? Therefore, Zeng Zhiwei had the idea of making a movie for Kang Jianfei. In another time and space, Zeng Zhiwei joined Xinyi City next year for this reason.
It is precisely because Hong Jinbao’s Hong family class is strong, and his Jinbao film company is a joint venture with Lei Juekun, that Kang Jianfei has a sense of crisis.
If Jinbao Film Company is the son of Princess Jin, then Kang Jianfei’s Oriental DreamWorks is just a godson. If the films of the two companies collide in the future, Lei Juekun will probably prefer Hong Jinbao.
Kang Jianfei just wanted to use He Guanchang’s name to express his attitude in advance: Don’t be too ugly if you’re partial, otherwise you won’t stay here, you’ll have your own place!
Seeing Kang Jianfei go out and get into the car, Lei Juekun was silent with a cigar in his mouth. He was really dissatisfied with Kang Jianfei.
It doesn’t mean that someone is sorry to whom, they cooperated at the beginning to exchange interests with each other. Seeing Kang Jianfei’s potential, Lei Juekun decided to invest in DreamWorks. If it is a joint venture between the two parties to make movies, then things will be easier in the future, and the cooperation between the two parties is absolutely pleasant.
It’s a pity that Kang Jianfei is too small-minded and stubbornly believes that his Oriental DreamWorks will be a super film company in the future. At this time, Lei Juekun is a shareholder, and he suffers a big loss, so he insists on his own sole proprietorship.
The conflict between the two sides has arisen from that moment!
The three of Mecca have not yet formed Xinyi City to show their power, and Lei Juekun is not willing to rely on a DreamWorks that he has no shares in, so he will contact Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao took the entire Hong family class to join Princess Jin. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If Lei Juekun didn’t invest his capital, he would never be able to dig up the great Buddha Hong Jinbao.
Because Hong Jinbao is also highly valued in Jiahe, even if Jiahe invested more resources in Cheng Long some time ago, it is impossible for Hong Jinbao to have the idea of leaving Jiahe.
As for the deal between Lei Juekun and Hong Jinbao, that’s not enough for outsiders.
Kang Jianfei mentioned He Guanchang’s name earlier, not because he was a villain in vain, but because he felt something was wrong between Hong Jinbao and Lei Juekun.
Hong Jinbao’s Jinbao Film Company started filming “Involuntarily” half a month before “Mr. Zombie” was launched, and it was released at the Golden Princess Cinema a week ago, but its box office was not very satisfactory, it is estimated that it will not more than 2 million.
But just a few days ago, Hong Jinbao announced the filming of “Ghost Fighting Ghost” without stopping.
This drama was supposed to start in the second half of the year, and it was the pioneering work of a fantasy kung fu film. Liu Guanwei, the original director of the real “Mr. Zombie”, was just an ordinary martial artist in “Ghost Fighting Ghost”.
The shooting of “Ghost Fighting Ghost” must have been influenced by Kang Jianfei’s cottage “Mr. Zombie”, which gave birth to inspiration to launch ahead of schedule. Moreover, Lin Zhengying, Liu Qiusheng, Yuan Hua and others are still used. These are the people who have just filmed “Mr. Zombie” with Kang Jianfei. “Ghost Fighting” will inevitably learn from the successful elements of “Mr. Zombie” because of them. The effect of shooting is more exciting than “Ghost Fighting Ghost” in another time and space.
Why did Kang Jianfei know this?
Because Hong Jinbao also looked for Huang Shrimp~www.readwn.com~ Unfortunately, Huang Shrimp had already decided to join Oriental DreamWorks, so he refused the invitation directly. Huang Shrimp told Kang Jianfei all of this.
Kang Jianfei planned to release “Mr. Zombie” in mid-June during the summer vacation, but it is only the beginning of May. At the speed of Hong Jiaban, “Ghost Fighting Ghost” is estimated to have been filmed by then.
After the filming, the two films will be screened in the Golden Princess Cinema. It is not up to Lei Juekun to decide how to arrange the films!
Kang Jianfei’s meaning is very obvious, that is, “Mr. Zombie” will be the main title in the summer season, and “Ghost Fighting Ghost” will give me an honest position in the back row!
It was when Lei Juekun understood Kang Jianfei’s intention that he felt that this was a bit of a headache. Now that Hong Jinbao has not exerted his strength, it is not time to teach Kang Jianfei a lesson, and there is an agreement between him and Kang Jianfei.
Due to the film’s release conditions in Hong Kong, the two made it clear in the contract that whoever violated it first would have to pay a lot of money, so Lei Juekun’s only means was the overseas distribution of Kakang Jianfei’s film.
Li Maowen stood beside Lei Juekun and said angrily: “Boss, this kid is too crazy, he should be suppressed!”
Lei Juekun smiled and said, “Don’t worry, let’s make “Mr. Zombie” the main title when the summer movie is scheduled, and “Ghost Fighting Ghost” will be postponed. You can explain it to Hong Jinbao.”
From this point of view, He Guanchang’s provocative purpose of visiting last night has been fully achieved.
He Guanchang is in charge, why didn’t Kang Jianfei use He Guanchang as a gun?
