Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Ninety-Four [Preheating Before The Release]

Mother Zhong took out two benches from the sewing room inside, asked Kang Jianfei and Zhu Jiading to sit down, and hurriedly went to make tea enthusiastically.

Zhong Chuhong couldn’t help but ask Kang Jianfei, “Are you an advertiser, a novelist, or a tailor?”

Kang Jianfei pointed to the business card in her hand and said, “I introduced myself just now. I am the owner of a film company and I want to invite Miss Zhong to make a movie.”

“Oh, I forgot.” Zhong Chuhong hurriedly looked down at the business card, and suddenly said in surprise, “I remembered, you are the sweetheart man in “Happy Ghost”, no wonder you are so familiar. The opening of your DreamWorks is very memorable. Yes, a boy fishing on the moon.”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile, “Yes, that movie was made by me. This time there is a movie about to be shot. I think Miss Zhong is very suitable for the image of the heroine.”

If it were another girl, and suddenly heard that the boss of the film company asked her to play the leading role in the movie, she would definitely be surprised and delighted. But Zhong Chuhong smiled and shook his head: “I’m not good at acting. Last time I played the heroine of “Bright Water and Cold Mountain”, but Director Du Qifeng did a lot of damage.”

Zhu Jiading was left out of the way and didn’t have the chance to interject. At this time, he suddenly spoke out and encouraged: “Ah Hong, it’s none of your business that Du Qifeng’s movie hits the streets, it’s the script. I think you act very well, this is a good opportunity. !”

Mother Zhong brought out the tea and agreed, “Yes, Ah Hong, is it possible that you want to buy clothes here for the rest of your life? Whether it works or not, you have to give it a try.”

Kang Jianfei said very ‘sincerely”: “Ms. Zhong, my company can’t compare with a big company like Shaw Brothers, and this movie is also a low-budget movie, so the remuneration can only give you 30,000 yuan at most. I hope you don’t think too much.”

“30,000 is enough!” Zhong Chuhong said quickly. Two months ago, Du Qifeng asked her to play the heroine, and only paid 10,000 yuan. Kang Jianfei now pays 30,000 yuan, which makes Zhong Chuhong feel that he is taking advantage of others, and is rather unhappy.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “Then let’s just say it like this. I’ll have someone notify you before the machine is turned on. By the way, can you leave a phone call for me.”

“I have a phone number!” Mother Zhong actively found a pen and paper, and wrote down the phone numbers of the women’s clothing store and her home. There are four children in the family, three of whom are still studying, and it is really difficult for a family of six to make money from a small shop. It is her mother’s biggest wish that her eldest daughter Zhong Chuhong can make a movie and become a big star.

Just when Kang Jianfei thought everything was done, Zhong Chuhong suddenly said, “Mr. Kang, I have signed a contract with Shaw Brothers. If I go to your company to make a movie, do I need to inform Shaw Brothers?”

Kang Jianfei almost vomited blood when he heard it, and asked, “Don’t you have no contract with you?”

Zhong Chuhong said, “I didn’t have it before, but when I was filming “The Killing Gold of Clear Water and Cold Mountain”, Brother Liu Songren helped me intercede and signed a five-year contract with Shaw Brothers.”

Kang Jianfei thought about hitting his head to death, and said sadly: “Why are you so stupid! Shaw Brothers has been out of business for the past few years. Look at which Shaw Brothers movies are the best-sellers, and tying yourself to Shaw Brothers is a good thing. Ruined my future.”

When Mother Zhong heard this, she said suspiciously, “No way, it’s very rare for a company as old as Shaw to sign a contract with it.”

Kang Jianfei explained: “Auntie, Shaw Brothers is the most demanding artist when it comes to contracted artists, and now everyone in the industry knows that Shaw Brothers is dying. In the first few months of this year, the 9 films released by Shaw Brothers, the combined box office I haven’t had more than one “Happy Ghost”, do you think Shaw Brothers has a future?”

Mother Zhong didn’t know this, and said in surprise, “Mr. Kang, you are so good? The money you make from one movie is worth nine Shaw Brothers movies.”

Kang Jianfei asked Zhong Chuhong, “Miss Zhong, if you leave Shaw Brothers now, how much liquidated damage will you pay according to the contract?”

Zhong Chuhong stretched out a finger and said, “One million!”

Seeing Kang Jianfei asking about the liquidated damages, Zhu Jiading couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Kang, is it that after A Hong signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, he can’t come to your company to film?”

Kang Jianfei said: “That’s not true. I didn’t fall out with Shaw Brothers. It’s okay to borrow a few people to film. But,” Kang Jianfei turned to look at Zhong Chuhong and said to her mother, “Miss Zhong has become a big star. I’m very optimistic about her potential, so I’m going to sign it and support her. Now making this low-budget movie is just a test of the water. Alas, it’s a pity that she has already signed a contract with Shaw Brothers.”

Mother Zhong was in a hurry when she heard it. Originally, she was very happy that her daughter could sign Shaw Brothers. But Zhong Chuhong did not receive any notice from Shaw Brothers after the filming of “Bishui Cold Mountain”, as if the company had completely forgotten her. This situation made Zhong’s mother very heartbroken.

Hearing Kang Jianfei appreciate her daughter so much, Mother Zhong asked, “Mr. Zhong, what should we do now?”

Kang Jianfei looked embarrassed, but this expression was not entirely fake. In the long run, it is very cost-effective to spend 1 million to poach Zhong Chuhong, but the company really doesn’t have much cash now.

Of course people have to dig. Even if they are hired and trained for two years, they can make a lot of money if they change their hands to sell the artist contract.

Kang Jianfei put on a pretence for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Zhong, I’m willing to pay you one million in liquidated damages, but you have to sign with my company. The contract period is ten years. I wonder if you’d like it?”

“Yes, of course!” Mother Zhong said hurriedly. Shaw Brothers didn’t care about it after filming a movie, but this Mr. Kang was willing to spend one million in liquidated damages for his daughter.

Zhong Chuhong made some changes, but Zhu Jiading frowned and said, “Is ten years too long?”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “Mr. Zhu, let alone a ten-year contract, I went to the street and shouted that I wanted to hire someone to make a movie, and a lot of people were willing to sign a fifteen-year contract. In the film industry, the most lacking thing is opportunity, I Now I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can only guarantee to provide Miss Zhong with the opportunity to become famous, and it is a big opportunity. If she continues to stay at Shaw Brothers, she will only be wasted for five years. Compared with last year, Shaw Brothers is reducing production, many The old Shaw Brothers star has nothing to film, and Miss Zhong, a newcomer, can only sit on the bench, you don’t want her to continue to spend five years of youth in Shaw Brothers?”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Kang spent so much money, and the contract should be signed a little longer.” Father Zhong also agreed, he felt that Kang Jianfei was very sincere. Zhong’s father opened a women’s clothing store. It was purely business-based. After Kang Jianfei spent 1 million liquidated damages to sign his daughter, he would naturally support his daughter to get the cost back. .

Zhong Chuhong was very annoyed by the arguing of you and me. She stood aside and waited for them to finish before saying, “Mr. Kang, can I think about it again.”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “Of course. But I hope I don’t think about it for too long, because my movie will start in half a month. Miss Zhong had better give me an answer within a week. No, we can find someone else. ”

Zhong Chuhong was silent for a while and said, “I’ll make a phone call first.”

Kang Jianfei said, “Please!”

Zhong Chuhong didn’t shy away from the crowd, she just picked up the phone on the counter in the store and dialed it. After changing three numbers, the call was connected: “Hello, Brother Liu, I’m Ah Hong… Nothing important, I just want to Ask, if someone is willing to pay one million liquidated damages to dig me into making a movie, should I agree?”

Kang Jianfei was extremely speechless next to him, and cried out in his heart: “Sister, I’m digging Shao Yifu’s corner, okay? You actually ask a popular TVB student with such a question!”

Liu Songren, who played Chen Jinnan in Zhou Xingchi’s version of “The Deer and Ding Ding”, has the same status in TVB as Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Runfa and others. Zhong Chuhong met him when he auditioned for TVB last year. When Zhong Chuhong’s candid performance left a deep impression on Liu Songren, when Du Qifeng filmed “Bishui Cold Mountain Killing Gold” some time ago, Liu Songren recommended Zhong Chuhong to be the role. heroine.

Liu Songren on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before asking, “Which company wants to poach you?”

Zhong Chuhong said, “Oriental DreamWorks, Mr. Kang came to me in person.”

Liu Songren said solemnly: “From a friend’s point of view, I suggest you go. If you stay in Shaw Brothers, it will be difficult to achieve great development in a short period of time. Since Dongfang Company is willing to spend 1 million liquidated damages for you, It shows that they are very optimistic about you, and that Director Kang is very good at filming.”

Zhong Chuhong said, “He said he would sign a ten-year contract.”

Liu Songren said: “It is normal to sign for ten years. If Dongfang Company spends one million liquidated damages to sign you for only three or five years, I suspect they have ulterior motives.”

“Oh, I see, thank you Big Brother Liu!” Zhong Chuhong hung up the phone and found that everyone was looking at her.

Since Zhong Chuhong was covering the receiver just now, the people next to her had no idea what was being said on the phone.

Mother Zhong asked, “Daughter, what did Mr. Liu say?”

Zhong Chuhong said, “He suggested that I agree to it.”

Kang Jianfei’s affection for Liu Songren increased greatly, and he smiled, “That Mr. Liu is a sensible person.”

When Mother Zhong heard that even Liu Songren suggested that her daughter sign in to Oriental DreamWorks, she immediately lost her last doubts and only urged Kang Jianfei to sign the contract as soon as possible.

Kang Jianfei also wanted to get things done as soon as possible, and immediately took Zhong Chuhong back to the company. Zhu Jiading was afraid that Zhong Chuhong would suffer a loss, so he wanted to follow him, and help Zhong Chuhong to check when he was about to sign the contract.

Taking the two back to the company, Pan Yingzi actually bought the car back, which is really fast.

Seeing Kang Jianfei bringing Zhong Chuhong back, Pan Yingzi said in surprise, “Isn’t this the most beautiful Hong Kong sister last year?”

Kang Jianfei said: “One million liquidated damages, A Hong will be a member of the company from now on.”

“One million! You’re really willing.” Pan Yingzi looked at Kang Jianfei and Zhong Chuhong in surprise, subconsciously thinking that Kang Jianfei wanted to spend money to find a girl.

Now the cash of Oriental DreamWorks is only a few million. Kang Jianfei actually spent 1 million to sign an actor, and he is a newcomer who has only made one street movie. Pan Yingzi thinks Kang Jianfei is crazy!

Kang Jianfei said: “Sister Azi, you are the manager of the artist department, you can handle the contract. By the way, I have to communicate with Shaw Brothers. It would be better if you can spend hundreds of thousands to buy the artist contract. It’s not too late to pay the liquidated damages.”

Pan Yingzi sighed and said, “I knew it would cause problems for me.”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile, “Those who are capable work hard.”

While the two were talking, Zhong Chuhong was curiously observing the new company. Compared with Shaw Brothers, Oriental DreamWorks is like a baby, and its office space is immeasurably small.

Zhu Jiading whispered to her: “Ah Hong, you’d better be careful, this guy surnamed Kang spent so much money to invite you to film, most of them have other plans.”

Zhong Chuhong said with disgust, “Why are you like this? It’s shameless to speak ill of people behind your back.”

Zhu Jiading said helplessly, “I’m caring about you, so be careful.”

Zhong Chuhong sighed and said, “I’ll say it again, Mr. Zhu, I’m not familiar with you, so don’t always point fingers at me.”

“Okay, I won’t say anything.” Zhu Jiading was afraid of offending the person he liked, so he had to change the subject, “Tonight’s movie…”

Zhong Chuhong refused without waiting for him to finish speaking: “Sorry, I don’t have time tonight!”

…………

…………

Pan Yingzi started filming at Shaw Brothers at the age of fourteen, and has been in Shaw Brothers studios for more than ten years. know above.

When Pan Yingzi went to talk to Shaw Brothers, it was naturally more effective.

Zhong Chuhong is also the fourth Hong Kong sister. She has only acted in one movie and is still on the street. No one is optimistic that she will become popular in the future. Although the liquidated damages stated that it would cost one million yuan, Pan Yingzi only spent 350,000 yuan to buy Zhong Chuhong’s contract, of which 50,000 yuan was Pan Yingzi’s rebate…

Shaw Brothers made a lot of money from this deal. Zhong Chuhong, who signed the contract two months ago, did not invest any resources in her except for making him the heroine of a street-fighting movie, and sold her for 30 yuan. 10,000, it’s just a waste of money.

As for Pan Yingzi’s rebate of 50,000 yuan, Kang Jianfei didn’t know, but he could guess. Unless he got actual evidence, Kang Jianfei would only turn a blind eye. After all, Pan Yingzi saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for the company, and it didn’t matter if he took a fortune from it.

The filming of “Three Minutes Hero” made up by Kang Jianfei has not yet started, and the “Oriental Daily” has already published an advertisement for the premiere of “Mr. Zombie”.

The content of the advertisement is: “Mr. Zombie”, the new masterpiece of “Ten Thousand Great Director” Kang Jianfei, will have its premiere at the Golden Princess Cinema on June 25, and only 1,300 movie tickets for the premiere will be sold to the outside world.

Later, he introduced the film “Mr. Zombie” in detail, saying that there are emerging girl star Li Saifeng, veteran Shaw Brothers Twelve Golden Hairpin Pan Yingzi, and director Kang Jianfei starring in person. It is the first film in Hong Kong film history. Fantasy kung fu movie. In the film, Kang Jianfei, who captured and killed the three gangsters on the street, will show off his real kung fu and bring the audience a new visual enjoyment.

And, there are other programs to add to the excitement of the premiere before the movie is released. Director Kang Jianfei and many filmmakers will present various wonderful programs to the audience, and Director Kang will also perform his real kung fu live!

There are programs to watch and movies to watch. The ticket price for each premiere is only 30 to 50 yuan. What are you still hesitating about? It’s better to act if you are excited, call your home quickly, and book tickets for the premiere in advance, on a first-come-first-served basis, while stocks last, the opportunity is not to be missed…

As soon as the advertisement came out, many film companies laughed at Kang Jianfei, saying that he was crazy about money, and many citizens also felt that the ticket price was too expensive. Nowadays, the best cinema, the best time slot, the best schedule, and the best seats in Hong Kong cost only about 14 yuan, while the late-night ticket for some bad theaters is only 5 yuan.

Kang Jianfei is doing that **** premiere. The highest ticket price is 50 yuan. It’s a steal!

Unexpectedly, the limited 1,300 tickets for the premiere were booked on the day the advertisement was published, and more than 180 tickets were pre-sold the next day.

Many of these people who book tickets are not for the movie, but want to see Kang Jianfei’s live kung fu performance… That’s the real kung fu of killing people in the street!

Before the “Oriental Daily” advertisement was published, Kang Jianfei had already sent invitation letters to more than 200 newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, and each invitation letter included a ticket for the premiere of “Mr. Zombie”.

There are free movies to watch, so why would those media send reporters to attend?

By the time Lei Jue-kun, Li Maowen, and many filmmakers in Hong Kong reacted, the premiere of ~www.readwn.com~Mr. Zombie has already been heated up.

For new things, the media is still willing to chase and report, especially some entertainment and movie magazines, all discussing what the movie premiere is.

Lei Juekun was cutting a cigar while reading the newspaper, and smiled at Li Maowen: “This kid seems to be in the limelight again. He really dares to sell a movie ticket for 50 yuan!”
