Pan Yingzi said that Zeng Zhiwei was not honest, and Kang Jianfei was not surprised at all.

In another time and space, Zeng Zhiwei's gang was originally helping the Shaw Brothers in Liu's class; After Hong Jinbao's Hongjiaban was established, he immediately jumped ship to join the Hongjiaban to help Jiahe; After the establishment of the new art city, he cooperated with the new art city, and finally simply joined the new art city and became one of the seven monsters of the new art city; After the internal dispute in Xinyi City, Zeng Zhiwei took the lead in running back to Golden Harvest, and by the way, he also pulled Megara out to help Golden Harvest shoot "Best Lucky Star".

When he returned to Golden Harvest again, Zeng Zhiwei was already a big-name director, producer and actor in the Hong Kong film industry, and then he helped whoever gave money to film, and traveled like a fish in water among major film companies.

The most important thing is that Zeng Zhiwei has changed jobs so many times, but no one has been offended, and he is simply slippery like a loach.

After returning to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei immersed himself in the post-production of "Royal Senior Sister". He had just stared at the editor to finish cutting the film, and Pan Yingzi suddenly came to the door with someone.

On this day, Kang Jianfei was looking at the cut out ** with Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng, Pan Yingzi walked into the screening room with a person, sat next to Kang Jianfei and said, "Ah Fei, bring you a person." ”

"Who needs Sister Ah Zi you to bring in person?" Kang Jianfei joked and turned his head to look at the man behind Pan Yingzi.

This person is in his 20s, wearing a black woolen sweater, his hair is unkempt, and his appearance is very ordinary, and he can't see anything special on the street.

Pan Yingzi said: "His name is Gao Zhisen, and he used to be the screenwriter of Lishi. A few days ago, I came to the company with a script, saying that I was going to join Oriental DreamWorks as a director. I saw that his script was good, and I planned to let him be a screenwriter in an advanced company, but he pestered me every day for the past few days, saying that if this script could be filmed, he hoped to be the assistant director of this play. ”

Who is Gao Zhisen?

The official director and screenwriter of "Happy Ghost", Kang Jianfei's "Happy Ghost" released at the beginning of the year is the plagiarized work of Gao Zhisen.

Now the owner has come to the door, and he still has a script and wants to be a director.

When the projectionist saw Kang Jianfei talking about business, he stopped the movie ** and ran to turn on the lights in the room, Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng also looked at the script in Kang Jianfei's hand together.

Kang Jianfei opened the script, and the six big characters of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" were eye-catching.

Before Kang Jianfei could read the script, Gao Zhisen couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Kang, I have liked this movie very much since I watched "Happy Ghost". Later, a lot of people followed the trend and made comedy ghost movies, and I think they didn't get to the point. The success of "Happy Ghost" is not in ghost movies, but in campus comedy. It's been almost a year since "Happy Ghost" was released, and DreamWorks hasn't made a similar movie sequel, which I think is a pity, so I wrote the script for the sequel to "Happy Ghost" without consent......"

Kang Jianfei opened the text of the script and said, "Go on." ”

Gao Zhisen saw that Kang Jianfei was listening carefully, and said happily: ""Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is about the happy ghost Zhu Xiucai in the first part who was reincarnated as a man, and his name is Kang Xingui. Kang Xingui has special functions since he was a child, and he is often troubled by this, and later Kang Xingui entered a girls' school as a teacher......"

Gao Zhisen's dictated "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is similar to the plot in Kang Jianfei's memory, only some places are different. After listening, he asked directly, "Gao Zhisen, right?" If I asked you to be the director of this film, how much budget would you have? ”

Kang Jianfei's words have faintly revealed the intention of letting Gao Zhisen be the director. Gao Zhisen was ecstatic at the same time, but he was also a little worried, because when Kang Jianfei filmed "Happy Ghost", the cost was less than 500,000.

With an investment of less than 500,000 yuan, the local box office alone exceeded 10 million in the end, plus the box office in Southeast Asia, Japan and Taiwan, the return on investment of this film is close to 40 times. This matter is almost unknown to everyone in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is regarded as a goal by countless film companies that specialize in making small productions.

But Gao Zhisen couldn't guarantee that he could exchange hundreds of thousands of costs for dozens of times the profits, he hesitated, tried to press the cost and said: "I need a budget of 600,000." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I'll give you a budget of 800,000 yuan, the crew has ready-made, and Chen Mingsheng will give you the assistant director and art director." What do you think? ”

"Let me be a director? Healthy...... Is what Mr. Kang said true? Gao Zhisen felt that there was something wrong with his ears, with his thoughts, it would be good to be able to blend in with the director team this time, but he didn't expect Kang Jianfei to directly let him be the director.

Not only Gao Zhisen, but even Pan Yingzi, who brought Gao Zhisen over, was also surprised, and didn't know why Kang Jianfei made such a hasty decision.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "You heard it right, your script is well written, I believe you are dedicated to this play." Chen Mingsheng came from Taiwan, and when he was a teenager, he ran boats all over the world and was well-informed. You have to listen to his opinion more when filming, come up with some novel jokes, and don't always play on my first "Happy Ghost". Isn't it fun to come and go with just a few tricks, and replace the sports meeting with a swimming game or a volleyball game? The audience will say that you are insincere. ”

Gao Zhisen said embarrassedly: "Mr. Kang, I will carefully revise the funny plot." Don't worry, I will definitely ...... with that Chen when I shoot Mr. Chan discussed. ”

Kang Jianfei pointed to Chen Mingsheng next to him and said to Gao Zhisen: "He is Chen Mingsheng, the first art director of our Oriental Dreamworks. ”

Gao Zhisen hurriedly held Chen Mingsheng with both hands and said, "Hello Mr. Chen." ”

Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Xunqi again and said: "This is Mr. Chen Xunqi, I should ask him more about the soundtrack of the film, and I will personally help you write a few episodes." ”

"That's great." Gao Zhisen heard Kang Jianfei say that he wanted to help write the song, and hurriedly thanked him, and said a good word to Chen Xunqi.

Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi: "I don't think I'm free during this time, you come to be the producer of this drama." ”

Pan Yingzi nodded and said, "Okay, when are you going to release your "Royal Senior Sister"?" ”

"It will be released on Christmas Eve on the 24th, and a premiere will be held on the 21st. You don't need to worry about this, Ma Qiao will arrange it. Kang Jianfei said.

"Royal Senior Sister" has not even finished the post-production at this time, and Kang Jianfei directly said the release date of the movie, which made Gao Zhisen's eyes straighten when he heard it.

If you change to another small director, not to mention that the later stage is not finished, even if you take the finished film and beg your father to tell your grandmother, it is very likely that it will not be released.

Gao Zhisen knew a lot about Kang Jianfei's deeds, and knew that Kang Jianfei was also looking for movie theaters everywhere with the sample film of "Happy Ghost", and was even insulted by people from Golden Harvest. Now, in just over a year, Kang Jianfei's film will be able to set a release date before the production is completed.

Idol!

Gao Zhisen looked at Kang Jianfei admiringly, feeling that his new boss was too strong, and he whispered: "Mr. Kang, if you still have important things to do, then I will be right now." ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Okay, after you go back, discuss the preparations for this movie with Vice President Pan first." ”

Pan Yingzi said: "Then we will go first." ”

Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said, "Goodbye!" ”

After Pan Yingzi and Gao Zhisen left, Chen Xunqi asked: "This kid used to be just a TV screenwriter, can he be a director?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "You haven't been a director before, and you haven't filmed "The Wrong Car". ”

Chen Xunqi said: "I'm different, I was mixed on the set when I was 15 years old, and I followed you in the director team of "Mr. Zombie". ”

Kang Jianfei said: "You and Mingsheng just give him the fire." ”

Chen Mingsheng smiled: "I don't have much experience as a director. ”

…………

…………

Just when Kang Jianfei was doing the post-production of "Royal Senior Sister", Xinyicheng's "Chasing Girls" had already been screened in 12 theaters under the Golden Princess Cinema Line.

The heroine of this movie was replaced by Zhong Chuhong, which was recommended by Zeng Zhiwei. As for the original heroine actor Liu Lanxi in another time and space, she is still singing and making movies in Taiwan at this time, and it will take two or three months to come to Hong Kong to develop.

The second female Zhang Tianai has not changed, it has been a year since this woman came back from abroad, and the limelight is also very strong, attracting a lot of audiences for "Chasing Girls".

At the beginning of the movie's release, the box office response was average, but in less than a week, some theaters were actually full.

Whether it is the three bosses of Xinyicheng or Lei Juekun, they were very excited after hearing the news, and hurriedly added two more theaters to "Chasing Girls".

As I said before, Hong Kong films are entering a mature period at this time, which belongs to a transitional period, and many films carry the shortcomings of old movies.

But this "Chasing Girls" is already a relatively mature work in terms of shooting techniques and plot lines. Even in the 90s and the 21st century, Wang Jing and Wang Fatzi were still stir-frying cold rice again and again, filming the "Hardcover Chasing Girls" series to make money.

In less than a week, the box office of "Chasing Girls" in Xinyicheng exceeded 3 million, and the cumulative box office reached more than 5.8 million in half a month.

Lei Juekun and Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and others are very excited, this is the highest-grossing movie among the movies released in Golden Princess theaters this year, except for "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie".

Until December 20, the cumulative box office of "Chasing Girls" has reached 7.7 million, and it has been transferred to the second-level theater to start the second round of screenings. Based on the current situation, the final box office of "Chasing a Girl" in Hong Kong is likely to be around 9 million.

The movie "Chasing Girls" has brought the actor Shi Tian's fame to a higher level, and the heroine Zhong Chuhong has become famous in "Three Minutes Hero", she has become as famous as Zeng Zhiwei this time, and the movie salary has reached 100,000.

As for the production company of "Chasing a Girl", Xinyi City, and its director Mecca, they are also out of the limelight. RS
