"Royal Sister", "Mr. Zombie", and "The Wrong Car", these works of Kang Jianfei sold well in several countries and regions at the same time. Ordinary Hong Kong citizens may not know the news, but their peers in the Hong Kong film industry quickly knew, and then there was collective envy and jealousy.

said that Nanyang is the back garden of Hong Kong films, but at this time, there are only twenty or thirty Hong Kong films that can be sold to Nanyang every year. Among these twenty or thirty films, the films of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Company account for most of them, and the films made by ordinary film companies can only honestly earn the local box office, and if you are lucky, you may be able to sell them in Taiwan and make another profit.

As for Japan and South Korea, even if it is two large companies, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, there are not many movies that can be sold. Japan is because of the market, while South Korea is because of government restrictions.

is like the previous "Happy Ghost", if it weren't for the fact that this film was a big hit at the Hong Kong box office, surpassing Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", with Princess Jin's overseas distribution ability, she wouldn't want to sell it in Japan and South Korea for three or five years.

Why is it that when the salaries of other stars in Hong Kong are only a few hundred thousand, Cheng Long's salary has reached several million? It is because audiences in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang love to watch Cheng Long's movies that they can increase countless overseas box offices.

It is true that Hong Jinbao is a big brother in Hong Kong, and his prestige in the circle seems to be higher than Cheng Long, but now he can only be majestic in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Japanese and Korean audiences do not buy him.

Just because Japanese and Korean audiences like Cheng Long, Cheng Long has become a fragrant bun, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would rather use disgraceful means to grab it. And Luo Wei, who was dug up by Golden Harvest, was like being dug up a mountain of gold, and he was angry and spent a lot of money to invite people from the club to come to Jiahe and Cheng Long for trouble.

In the Hong Kong film industry, where the local box office market is narrow, whoever has the ability to attract money overseas is the boss.

When the news of Kang Jianfei's movie being a hit in Japan and South Korea came back, even some small companies ran to Maqiao with their own films, saying that they wanted to ask DreamWorks to help contact Japanese and Korean theater dealers, and directly divided 20% of the box office into DreamWorks as an agency fee.

In the current Hong Kong film industry, everyone knows that Oriental DreamWorks has risen, because Oriental DreamWorks movies can now be distributed overseas by themselves, and they can achieve a good overseas box office.

In the past, when it came to Oriental DreamWorks, more insiders saw the Golden Princess, thinking that with the support of the Golden Princess, Kang Jianfei and his company could get up.

And now, when talking about DreamWorks and the Golden Princess, everyone habitually puts Oriental DreamWorks in front.

Although Oriental DreamWorks still has a poor foundation and its funds are far inferior to the two companies of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, some people have begun to call DreamWorks and Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers together.

"Film Fortnightly" even directly wrote an article pointing out: "The Hong Kong film industry in the 50s was a scuffle between the princes of companies such as Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, and Cathay; In the Hong Kong film industry in the 60s, the Shaw Brothers and the two heroes of Denmao (Cathay Pacific) stood side by side; In the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s, the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest shared the world equally; Now that it has just entered the 80s, the tiger cub of DreamWorks has shown its fangs, and the Hong Kong film industry in the next few years is about to enter an era of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and DreamWorks......"

"Hmph, what a Three Kingdoms!" Zou Wenhuai threw away the magazine in his hand and asked the secretary, "Is Cheng Long here?" ”

The secretary replied: "It's already here, Cheng Long and Manager He are in the reception room outside." ”

Zou Wenhuai got up and came to the reception room, in addition to Cheng Long and He Guanchang, there was also gold medal screenwriter Deng Jingsheng sitting in the reception room.

"Mr. Zou!"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai appeared, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng both stood up to greet him, and only He Guanchang was still sitting on the sofa.

"Let's all sit down," Zou Wenhuai took the lead in sitting down and asked, "Ah Long, Ah Sheng, how is the script prepared?" ”

Deng Jingsheng nodded and said, "It's already written." ”

Cheng Long walked over and handed the script to Zou Wenhuai, and said: "This script is a summary of several movies such as "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", and the name is "Young Master Long". ”

Zou Wenhuai opened the script and only read a few pages, then turned his head and asked He Guanchang: "What does Guanchang think?" ”

"It's a great script, it's just that," He Guanchang frowned, "Now the appetite of Hong Kong audiences has been nourished by "Royal Senior Sister", this "Young Master Dragon" is still an old-style kung fu comedy, I don't know if the audience will buy it." ”

In the parallel space, Cheng Long's "Young Master Long" did not sell well in Hong Kong, because the audience prefers to watch the new-style urban comedy films of the New Art City, and the old-style kung fu films have fallen behind. And Kang Jianfei's "Royal Senior Sister" has gone one step further, as far as Guanchang said, the audience's appetite has been raised.

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Then do you think we should learn from Oriental Company to make modern kung fu films?" Is Aaron suitable for such a film? ”

He Guanchang was speechless, and then said with a wry smile: "Who knows if you haven't tried it?" ”

Today's Cheng Long can only make old-style kung fu comedies, and modern kung fu movies have never been tried at all, and He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai can't predict the future, so they naturally don't dare to let Cheng Long test the water and transform casually.

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng listened anxiously next to them, the two of them spent a lot of effort to write the script of "Young Master Long", and now if they change the shooting plan temporarily, their efforts will be in vain.

Zou Wenhuai was silent, and said for a long time: "Then let's shoot "Young Master Long" first, even if the audience in Hong Kong doesn't like it, there are markets in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang." ”

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Long said hesitantly: "Mr. Zou, I'm ...... I ......"

Zou Wenhuai said: "What are you doing?" If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Cheng Long said unspeakably: "I want to open a film company." ”

Before Zou Wenhuai could speak, Cheng Long's godfather He Guanchang taught him a lesson first: "How old are you, there are only five or six people in the family class under you, and you actually want to start a film company, I don't know how thick the sky is!" ”

Cheng Long turned his heart sideways and said: "Kang Jianfei can start a film company at the age of 19, why can't I?" ”

"Hehe," Zou Wenhuai laughed, stopped He Guanchang, who was about to continue scolding, and said, "Golden Harvest has always supported its talents to produce independently, since you want to start a company, then I will support you, but you must wait until the filming of "Young Master Long" is finished." ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zou, I will definitely shoot "Young Master Long" seriously." Cheng Long was overjoyed and bowed to Zou Wenhuai again and again. He was made red by Kang Jianfei's dream factory, and the company opened by Hong Jinbao also made a lot of money last year, how could Cheng Long be willing to only work for Jiahe?

Zou Wenhuai said: "In this way, I will invest a sum of money for you, and the shares will not account for much, as long as 40." ”

Cheng Long listened to it and thanked him again, with Zou Wenhuai's investment, he would not have to worry about funds at all.

This is Zou Wenhuai's strength, if he is replaced by Lei Juekun, he must at least have more than 50 shares.

However, because of this momentum, by the time the 90s, Zou Wenhuai's wings had grown stiff, and he actually competed with his old club Golden Harvest. Later, when robbing the studio, Golden Harvest was countered by the six companies, and he let go of a piece of fat meat that ate to his mouth.

He Guanchang scolded Cheng Long before, but he was just putting on a show, and he also blamed Cheng Long for not greeting him in advance. At this time, seeing that Zou Wenhuai agreed, He Guanchang also asked with a smile: "It is very important to choose the name of the film company, what name is Ah Long going to give to the new company?" ”

Cheng Long said with a smile: "The name has been thought of, and it will be called Boxing Film Company (the predecessor of Weihe)." ”

Deng Jingsheng has been unable to interject, and at this moment he took the opportunity to praise: "The fist is powerful, this name is powerful and domineering." ”

Zou Wenhuai suddenly said: "Ah Long, get a few characters for the people of the Hong family class in "Young Master Long", Sanmao is coming back." ”

"Brother Sanmao is going back to Jiahe?" Cheng Long asked in surprise, he had a very good relationship with Hong Jinbao's other senior brothers at this time, and there was no crack.

Deng Jingsheng was also surprised: "After "Royal Senior Sister", Hong Jinbao's "Zombie Taoist" is the main Chinese New Year blockbuster on Princess Jin's side, and it sells very well at the box office, how can he be willing to leave Jinbao Film Company and come back?" ”

"Hehe," He Guanchang said with a smile, "Princess Jin has an Oriental Dream Factory, and the films in Xinyi City are also very good, what's the point of him staying there?" ”

Deng Jingsheng didn't ask any more, he knew that there must be another inside story, but the two bosses didn't say anything, he asked Pingbai to be disgusted.

In fact, there is no inside story, that is, after Hong Jinbao comes back to cooperate with Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest will form a new Baohe film company with Hong Jinbao. Zou Wenhuai has made a commitment that 70% of Baohe Film Company's shares will be owned by Hong Jinbao, and he will vigorously support the overseas distribution of Baohe Company's films.

The last two are important weights to attract Hong Jinbao to return to Golden Harvest.

Because in Jinbao Film Company, Lei Juekun alone accounts for nearly sixty percent of the shares, and most of the money earned by Hong Jinbao goes into Lei Juekun's pocket. Zou Wenhuai generously gave Hong Jinbao seventy percent of the shares of the new company, and the extra box office earned in the future was enough for Hong Jinbao to give up the current Jinbao Film Company.

As for Golden Harvest's promise to support the overseas distribution of the new company Baohe, it is even more unbelievable, because the overseas distribution of Golden Princess is too weak. For example, Princess Jin helped Kang Jianfei release "Mr. Zombie", which took more than half a year to grind with South Korea, and gave up part of the box office share before negotiating. As for the release of "Mr. Zombie" in Japan, Princess Jin has not talked about it for more than half a year, and now Kang Jianfei is negotiating with the Japanese Academy himself.

Golden Harvest is different, if Hung Jinbao's movies are of good quality, Zou Wenhuai can even help him distribute them to Europe and the United States. Compared with the box office over there, the box office in Taiwan and South Korea is not worth mentioning.

Several people continued to discuss matters related to the new film "Young Master Long", and suddenly Zou Wenhuai's assistant came over and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Ethers called from the United States. ”

"I still have some things, "Young Master Long" will be handed over to you Guanchang." Zou Wenhuai said to He Guanchang, nodded to Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng, and walked quickly to answer the phone.

Picking up the phone, Zou Wenhuai said in fluent English: "Hey, Ethers, long time no see, is there anything looking for me?" ”

Ethers said: "Zou, there is a Hong Kong film called "Royal Warrior" (the English translation of "Royal Sister"), do you know which company made it? ”

"Royal Warriors?" Zou Wenhuai quickly reacted, "Is it the female protagonist's part?" ”

Ethers said: "Yes, that's it, the actor is Japanese. ”

Zou Wenhuai said strangely: "What do you ask this movie for?" ”

Ethers was surprised: "Don't you know that this movie has caused a sensation in the United States!" ”

"Did I hear me right?" Zou Wenhuai said in surprise.

Zou Wenhuai heard it right, Kang Jianfei stayed in the United States for a month and a half before finally letting "Royal Senior Sister" be released in North America. RS
