Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Ninety-One [Olive Branches Flying Around]

Liang Xiaolong, a martial arts idiot, had to learn from each other, and Kang Jianfei could only dismiss him on the grounds that there was no suitable venue.

Since Kang Jianfei traveled through time, he would habitually practice the flexibility of his hands when he was free, but he had not exercised his body much. But there is one thing that makes him very strange. The last time he encountered the robber, the speed he burst out was even much faster than before.

This made Kang Jianfei very puzzled, but he didn’t bother to fiddle with things he couldn’t figure out, and only regarded this abnormality as a time-travel welfare.

Kang Jianfei has always believed that the brain is the foundation of the body, and a person who has no brains but is armed with force is just a martial artist.

It’s a pity that he Kang Jianfei traveled through once, and there was no change in his intelligence, nor did he show any unforgettable skills, but his body became stronger.

The body is like a cow with a fart. If someone points a gun at it, it’s not a headshot!

Director Kang Jianfei took the bus home and suddenly remembered that it was time to get himself a car. The crowded bus in Hong Kong during the rush hour is comparable to the subway in the later world.

When Kang Jianfei returned home, he found that Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia were both absent. He was probably still practicing singing at Fengxing Records. He turned out the manuscript paper and was about to write the last hundreds of thousands of words in “Looking for Qin” when the doorbell rang non-stop.

“Sister Zhi!” Kang Jianfei exclaimed in surprise, but Zhao Yazhi was standing there pretty, but he soon saw Wang Tianlin behind Zhao Yazhi and smiled, “Uncle Tianlin is here too, please come in. !”

Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi have not seen each other for more than a month, but the two often talk on the phone to flirt. At this time, the cross-ocean long-distance telephone charges were sky-high. During the filming of Kang Jianfei in Taipei, he spent several thousand Taiwan dollars for the telephone charges.

Wang Tianlin is a person who can sit but not stand. After entering the room, he sat on the sofa and said to Kang Jianfei with a smile, “Ah Fei, I didn’t go to your celebration last time, but it’s my fault, right?”

Kang Jianfei took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator and put them in front of Zhao Yazhi and Wang Tianlin. He smiled and said, “Uncle Tianlin is joking. I can finish “Happy Ghost” smoothly. I would like to thank you for your help.”

Wang Tianlin sighed: “When I was filming “Chu Liuxiang”, I knew that you would sooner or later, but I didn’t expect you to develop so fast. That boy Ah Xiang is far worse than you. He said last year that he wanted to make a movie. I haven’t even written a script yet.”

Kang Jianfei was pondering what the old guy had come to do with him. Hearing him mention the Wang Jing, he wondered if he wanted to make a movie together with his son? Impossible, Wang Jing can make a movie at Shaw Brothers, not to mention he brought Zhao Yazhi with him.

Kang Jianfei didn’t understand, and he didn’t take the initiative to ask.

Perhaps there was a third person present. Zhao Yazhi didn’t say much, but only smiled and echoed from time to time.

After walking around for a long time, Wang Tianlin asked, “A Fei, I heard that you just finished filming “Mr. Zombie”?”

As soon as Kang Jianfei heard the topic, he nodded and said, “Yes.”

Wang Tianlin asked, “When will it be released?”

Wang Tianlin’s question is a bit unethical, because he belongs to Shaw Brothers, and the specific release date of Kang Jianfei’s new film is a commercial secret.

Kang Jianfei didn’t want to lie to fool him, but he wouldn’t reveal any specific information. He just smiled, “Princess Jin is arranging films, and I don’t know the exact release time.”

Wang Tianlin suddenly asked, “Are you interested in taking “Mr. Zombie” to the Shaw Brothers Cinema?”

Kang Jianfei did not expect that Wang Tianlin was actually here to recruit him. It seems that the aura of “Ten Thousand Great Directors” is really arrogant. After leaving Jiahe, he came to Shaw Brothers again. He smiled and declined: “Shaw Brothers made more than 30 films last year. Today, in the first half of the year, nearly 10 films have been made. The production volume is the first in Hong Kong. I am afraid there will be no shortage of film sources.”

Shaw Brothers is indeed the No. 1 film producer. What is the use of many films that can be made? In the first few months of this year, Shaw Brothers released 9 films, but only 2 of them had a box office of over 2 million, and even 5 films had a box office of less than 800,000, which was worse than last year. Fortunately, Shaw Brothers has a very strong distribution capability in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Otherwise, the local box office alone would cost Shaw Brothers to death.

Wang Tianlin is not easy to explain this situation, he just smiled: “The more good movies are, the better. Ah Fei, you are very good at making movies. As long as you come to Shaw Brothers, Boss Shao will definitely not treat you badly. What can Princess Jin give you? Shao? Its overseas distribution capability ranks first in Hong Kong, and Golden Harvest is far incomparable. As long as you cooperate with Shaw Brothers, Ah Fei, the overseas box office will not only increase tenfold, but double it is more than enough.”

Seeing that Wang Tianlin was still trying to persuade him, Kang Jianfei didn’t bother to talk to him any more, and said bluntly, “Shaw Brothers doesn’t support independent films, what should I do? Be like a film-making machine like Chu Wan?”

Wang Tianlin was at a loss for words, Chu Wan is Chu Yuan, a nickname he won after more than ten consecutive films in Taiwan exceeded 10 million a few years ago. But it is such a director who has made great contributions to Shaw Brothers, but now he has become a Shaw Brothers filming machine because of the poor box office.

Since the beginning of this year, except for the few days of the Spring Festival, Chu Yuan has basically never been out of the studio, and has been shooting movies for Shao Yifu, even sleeping on the set.

Wang Tianlin didn’t mention Chu Yuan again, but said: “The rules are always set by people. Boss Shao hopes to join the shareholder Fang DreamWorks, and then Oriental DreamWorks will cooperate with Shaw Brothers in the name of an independent film company.”

It turned out that this was the idea!

Kang Jianfei unceremoniously refused: “Uncle Tianlin, Oriental DreamWorks is my hard work, and even Lei Juekun’s desire to become a shareholder has not been negotiated. Do you think I will cooperate with Shao Yifu?”

Kang Jianfei called Shao Yifu by his first name, obviously he didn’t want to talk about it any more. Wang Tianlin turned his attention to Zhao Yazhi and gave her a wink.

Obviously, Zhao Yazhi was brought in by Wang Tianlin as a lobbyist.

Zhao Yazhi just drank the soda, pretended not to see Wang Tianlin’s small movements, and didn’t say a word.

Wang Tianlin was helpless, knowing that the task Shao Yifu gave him could not be completed, he chatted for a few more words, then got up and left.

Returning to his home, Wang Tianlin immediately called Shao Yifu and said, “Sixth brother, Kang Jianfei refused right away. Judging by his appearance, it is useless for anyone to talk.”

“That’s fine.” Shao Yifu’s voice came from the phone.

……

……

Seeing Shao Yifu put down the phone, Fang Yihua quickly asked, “He refused?”

Shao Yifu nodded, not too disappointed. He has always been against independent production. The box office of Shaw Brothers films in the past two years has been too ugly, so he couldn’t help but have the idea to win over Kang Jianfei.

Shao Yifu has always had a good relationship with the Li family. Even when he took over the power of TVB some time ago, he did not fall out with the Li family.

Li Dingchang of Lee Stage was invited to watch “Mr. Zombie” in the morning. In the afternoon, Shao Yifu learned from Li Dingchang that “Mr. Zombie” was very good-looking. It made Li Dingchang, a nearly 50-year-old man, laugh. Likely to be a box office hit again.

Shao Yifu couldn’t sit still when he heard it. During the Lunar New Year, due to the rivalry between “Happy Ghost” and “Junior Brother Out of the Horse”, both sides sold well at the box office. Shaw’s “Modern Local Guy” was affected by Chiyu, and there were very few moviegoers in advance. Fall painting.

Hearing that “Mr. Zombie” is likely to be a big hit at the box office again, Shao Yifu immediately asked Wang Tianlin to be a lobbyist, because Wang Tianlin and Kang Jianfei had friendship, and by the way, he also brought Zhao Yazhi, who had an ambiguous relationship with Kang Jianfei.

Shao Yifu’s mood was very contradictory. He hoped that Wang Tianlin’s persuasion would succeed, and he hoped that he would fail. Because once Kang Jianfei’s Oriental DreamWorks cooperated with Shaw Brothers for a long time as an independent film company, it broke Shaw Brothers’ large-scale studio system, which was inconsistent with Shao Yifu’s film management philosophy.

Although the big studio system is rigid, it has many shortcomings. However, Jiahe’s independent production system also has many hidden dangers. Shao Yifu sees this clearly, so he does not want to change it.

“Sixth brother, since the box office is sluggish, you are now the chairman of the board of directors of TVB. I think it’s better to focus on TVB.” Fang Yihua’s mind is different. She is not enthusiastic about movies, but thinks that The TV industry has great prospects for development.

One of the reasons for Zou Wenhuai’s departure from Shaw Brothers was that Fang Yihua turned many of Shaw Brothers’ resources to TV stations, which completely contradicted Zou Wenhuai’s ideas.

Shao Yifu nodded lightly, as if he was persuaded by Fang Yihua, but he never put down the movie in his heart.

The Shaw Brothers did not hesitate to sell their ancestral property to make a movie, and were ridiculed as prodigal sons. He Shao Yifu was studying in the school, and his brother sent a telegram. He immediately dropped out of school and went back to the film company to help.

The Shaw family’s film company has gone up and down several times. The current Shaw Brothers Pictures was completely destroyed by the Japanese army, and Shao Yifu was re-established brick by brick. The concubine can understand.

……

……

When Shao Yifu recalled his glorious years, Lei Juekun was looking at the documents that Kang Jianfei had sent over this afternoon, UU reading www.uukanshu. The com title is: “Mr. Zombie” Premiere Proposal.

Lei Juekun pushed the plan to Li Maowen, and after he read it, he asked, “What do you say?”

Li Maowen sneered: “It’s just a waste of money, and I still want to ask a TV station to broadcast it. It will cost at least 200,000 yuan for such a large-scale premiere. Is the TV station what he said can be on it? It’s better to go directly to the midnight show. .”

Lei Juekun took a sip of the cigar and said, “I think the premiere is a good gimmick. If you do it well, it will save a lot of publicity costs.”

Li Maowen said: “Since that kid won’t pay the distribution fee for his movie, let him pay for the promotion himself. Anyway, Princess Jin’s signboard has already been launched, so there is no need to help him spend money to attract audiences like they did during the Chinese New Year.”

Lei Juekun nodded and said: “We still have to do the cinema promotion that should be done, but let Kang Jianfei do it himself for the release promotion of “Mr. Zombie”. Didn’t he want to use the Golden Princess Cinema as the premiere scene? Bao How much rent the theater should pay, we will calculate it according to the market price!”

“That’s right. Brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention that we, Princess Jin, are only in a cooperative relationship with him.” Li Maowen said with a smile, he knew that Lei Juekun was beating Kang Jianfei by this move.

Lei Juekun asked, “Is the cinema line ready?”

Princess Jin’s film sources are relatively abundant now, but there are still not as many as Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, so it is still very easy to arrange films.

Li Maowen said: “The premiere of “Mr. Zombie” is scheduled for June 28, but this kid wants to have a premiere, so his premiere will be June 25.”
