When Kang Jian flew to the capital, he happened to meet Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum".

The production unit of this film is no longer Western Film Studio, but DreamWorks and China Film Co-production Company. It's still the old rule, DreamWorks pays money, Chinese companies make people, and then the overseas box office DreamWorks owns, and the Chinese mainland box office lets Chinese companies earn it.

Now many directors in Hong Kong have chosen to cooperate with the mainland, and the convenience of cheap labor and live-action shooting has even attracted investors from Taiwan.

However, Taiwan will not allow film and television producers to go to the mainland to make films until a year later, and now Taiwanese capital is using Hong Kong companies as a springboard to invest in the mainland.

"Who are these people?" Gong Li threw away the newspaper angrily, she was happy to read a few praised newspapers, but she didn't expect to suddenly see an article accusing her.

Strictly speaking, this article does not only accuse Gong Li alone, but scolds the entire "Red Sorghum" crew for being shameless and corrupting the social atmosphere. The reason is very simple, because there is a wild/exciting/love scene between Gong Li and Jiang Wen in "Red Sorghum".

"What do you do when you get angry about this kind of article? The person who wrote the article must have just heard that there was no one. co-played, I guess I haven't even seen it in the cinema. Kang Jianfei comforted with a smile.

If the part in "Red Sorghum" is considered an exciting/love scene, then all the movies made by Kang Jianfei belong to the 18 bans. Jiang Wen carried Gong Li and threw her into the sorghum field, and then Jiang Wen knelt down, and the two didn't even hug and nibble a few bites, and they pulled up to shoot the natural scenery without touching the camera.

"I'm just angry, these people scribble without watching a movie." Gong Li said angrily.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "I guess they don't have time to line up." ”

Two days ago, when Kang Jianfei and Ye Zipei watched a movie in Huadu, "Red Sorghum" was also screened in the cinema, but they had to wait in line for at least two hours to see it.

The filming cost of "Red Sorghum" is 4.5 million, and Kang Jianfei designated Zhang Yimou as the director, Jiang Wen and Gong Li starring. When Mo Yan was adapting the script, Zhang Yimou spent half a year planting a large area of sorghum in order to set up a good location.

Just two months ago, "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in West Germany, and Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and Jiang Wen also showed their faces greatly, and the mainland media were overwhelmingly reporting on the matter for a while.

Under such popularity, "Red Sorghum" was immediately released in major cinemas in the mainland, and movie tickets across the country ranged from 2 jiao to 1 yuan. Because "Red Sorghum" is so popular, the ticket price of the movie has risen gradually, and the most expensive place even sells a movie ticket for 10 yuan.

Kang Jianfei felt incredible when he heard this price, Hong Kong's movie ticket prices are only in their early 20s, and many people in the mainland have a monthly salary of less than 100 yuan, what is the difference between a movie ticket for 10 yuan and grabbing money? But there are people who are willing to spend this unjust money to see.

According to relevant statistics, in the early 80s in Chinese mainland, the average number of moviegoers per film was about 208 million (including government agencies and rural screening teams). By the mid-to-late 80s, due to the nationwide flowering of video halls, the number of moviegoers per movie in the mainland was close to 200 million.

With 200 million people watching each movie, this number is definitely embarrassing for the world, although many of them don't collect at the box office - for example, many of the country screening teams are free.

"Red Sorghum" has definitely made Chinese companies and local cinemas earn money, but unfortunately this Kang Jianfei has nothing to do with it, and DreamWorks can only earn overseas box office according to the cooperation agreement.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Gong Li sat on Kang Jianfei's lap and picked up the phone: "Hey, it's Director Zhang." Yes, I'm at home...... Now, I'm a little inconvenient, let's do that another day...... What, you're in the middle of the play, come to me right away? I'm really in trouble......"

"Zhang Yimou?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Gong Li hung up the phone a little helplessly: "He said he was going to come and talk to me about business, and the next drama has eyebrows." ”

"He is very diligent, filming one film at a time." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Gong Li said: "He has other intentions, the script of the new play has not yet been written, what is there to talk about with me, and what do you say to continue to let me be the heroine." ”

In another time and space, Gong Li was fascinated by the talented Director Zhang during her appearance in "Red Sorghum", and the two hooked up together during filming.

Now with Kang Jianfei, how could Zhang Yimou get into Gong Li's eyes, in terms of talent, fame, appearance, and age, they are not at the same level. Although Kang Jianfei is in a lot of mood, at least he is not married, and Zhang Yimou's children can play soy sauce.

Gong Li's current residence is not far from outside the Chinese opera school, which is a set of houses with a small courtyard bought by Kang Jianfei and given to her, and it is claimed that Gong Li rented it.

It didn't take long for Kang Jianfei to hear a bicycle bell, followed by another knock on the door.

Kang Jianfei patted Gong Li's buttocks to get her up from his lap, then went over to open the door, and saw Zhang Yimou standing at the door. And there was also a bicycle ridden by Zhang Yimou parked in the yard, and next to the bicycle was Santana flying by Kang Jian.

"Hello Mr. Zhang!" Kang Jianfei took the initiative to stretch out his hand and looked at Zhang Yimou with a smile.

"Kang...... Mr. Kang, you are also here, hello, hello! Zhang Yimou smiled awkwardly.

Kang Jianfei appeared in Gong Li's rented house, Zhang Yimou didn't know the relationship between the two of them, and immediately stopped thinking about having an extramarital affair, the bicycle was too shabby compared to the car.

"Come in and sit down." Kang Jianfei invited quite generously.

"It's fine." Zhang Yimou couldn't refuse, so he could only follow Kang Jian into the house.

Gong Li made Zhang Yimou a cup of tea, then sat next to Kang Jianfei in a regular manner, and used actions to show Zhang Yimou her attitude.

Zhang Yimou felt that he was very stupid, Kang Jianfei designated Gong Li as the heroine, naturally it couldn't be for no reason, why didn't he think about it all the time.

Zhang Yimou didn't dare to pay attention to Gong Li at all, and said to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, thank you so much for your investment and trust, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to stand on the podium of international film competitions." ”

"It's nothing, it's also good for me to invest in films, "Red Sorghum" is a joint production between DreamWorks and a Chinese company." Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "The release of "Red Sorghum" in Hong Kong is scheduled for next month, does Director Zhang want to go to Hong Kong to promote it?" ”

Zhang Yimou said: "I won't go, I don't have much reputation in Hong Kong, so it won't be useful to do publicity." ”

"I'm going to take Gong Li to Hong Kong for development, but if Director Zhang wants to make a movie in the future, the heroine should think about her first." Kang Jianfei said.

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "Gong Li is very good at acting, and she will definitely be popular if she follows Mr. Kang to Hong Kong for development." If there is a suitable role in the future, I will definitely find her, as long as she doesn't think that she will be paid less to follow me to film. ”

Gong Li joked: "If you follow Director Zhang to film, you will get a prize, and you can not pay for it." ”

"By the way, Director Zhang seemed to say on the phone just now that he wants to make a new film, do you need my investment?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Zhang Yimou intends to make "Ju Dou", the first Chinese film to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and the original time and space was invested by the Japanese.

Kang Jianfei actually wanted to invest in Brother Chen Kai to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", but unfortunately the copyright of this movie was bought by Xu Feng a few years ago.

Zhang Yimou just came up with the idea of adapting the novel into a movie now, and the funds were not in place, and now Kang Jianfei took the initiative to send the money, so he naturally agreed.

The two discussed, and Kang Jianfei said: "Gong Li followed me to Hong Kong to make a movie, and it will be completed in October at most, so you can prepare slowly." ”

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "It takes me a lot of time to get the script, and I have to set up the crew and select the location for filming, and I may not be able to start filming until next year." ”

"Then it's settled." Kang Jianfei took Gong Li to Hong Kong to shoot a movie for the box office, but let her star in Zhang Yimou's movie to brush up on fame and trophies.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yimou finally rode away on his bicycle, and at the same time, the sound of car engines sounded in the yard.

"That one was Director Zhang just now." Hu Juncai walked in with his wife Ye Zishan.

Kang Jianfei beckoned the two to sit down and said, "It's him, talk about some things about movies." ”

Hu Juncai sighed with emotion: "The "Red Sorghum" you invested in is selling like crazy, and you can hear people talking about this movie everywhere you go." ”

The relationship between Kang Jianfei and Gong Li is already very clear, Ye Zishan regarded Gong Li as her own person, and asked: "Xiaoli doesn't dare to go out now, she will be recognized wherever she goes." ”

Gong Li knew a little about Ye Zishan's family background, and deliberately complimented: "It's okay." But I rely on movies, and I am as beautiful as Sister Shan, and I must have a 100% return rate when I walk on the street. ”

The two women were chatting about the interesting story of making a movie, Kang Jianfei remembered what he had seen in Huadu, and asked: "Ah Cai, now that all parts of the country are rushing to buy and stock up, our department store is fine, right?" ”

"What's the problem?" Hu Juncai said, "We have our own supply channels, and I wish the people would buy them every day." However, this price has indeed risen too outrageously, do you think China will have an economic crisis like the West? ”

"You're thinking too much." No matter how Xiaobai Kang Jianfei is, he also knows that the economic crisis is social overcapacity, and the Celestial Empire is now in short supply.

Ye Zishan suddenly interjected: "Brother Fei, I'm going to be transferred to Hong Kong in the second half of the year, you have to take care of it." ”

Kang Jianfei was surprised: "Aren't you in the center of the regiment?" Running to Hong Kong, are you two going to separate? ”

Ye Zishan pouted and said: "The Central Committee of the Youth League is too boring, it's boring, I want to be transferred to Xinhua News Agency to work in Hong Kong, even if it is to go there for a long time." ”

Kang Jianfei warned: "If you transfer over, don't get too close to that President Xu." This person is not reliable at all, and sooner or later something will go wrong. ”

Ye Zishan said with a smile: "I know about President Xu, if it weren't for the fact that he had made friends with a lot of Hong Kong businessmen, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to step down." ”

"Hehe, it's me who is too worried, you are the eldest lady of the Ye family." Kang Jianfei laughed self-deprecatingly. RS
