374 [Speculation]
After the framework of the script was completed, Deng Jingsheng worked with Cheng Long and the two screenwriters of DreamWorks to design the bridge to make the plot of "Deadly Express" as fleshed out as much as possible.
Deng Jingsheng is the gold medal screenwriter of Golden Harvest, and Kang Jianfei also found his cousin Wu Ruiqing and threw it into the screenwriting team, asking him to learn more from several seniors.
As for Kang Jianfei himself, he only instructed Chen Shuli to collect some information about European and American celebrities in order to prepare for future casting, and he didn't pay much attention to this matter in the next few days.
The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar has fallen to 9.3 to 1 at this time, and Kang Jianfei does not know how much the Hong Kong dollar will continue to fall, but he knows that it will definitely stabilize in the end.
The overseas box office revenue of "Home Alone" is all in US dollars, and the money is owned by Kang Jianfei personally, not DreamWorks funds. The overseas box office revenues that have now arrived, plus the proceeds from the sale of the rights to Home Alone, add up to more than $120 million.
Kang Jianfei didn't use much of this money, and only took out some money to repay bank loans, as well as make up for the funds drawn from his major companies, and used it for the construction of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. When the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar plummeted to 9.3, Kang Jianfei began to convert the US dollars in his hands into Hong Kong dollars in batches.
Now that the people of Hong Kong want to convert the Hong Kong dollar into the US dollar, Kang Jianfei's US dollar thrown into it really didn't make any waves. The Hong Kong dollar continued to fall, falling from 9.3 to 9.6 just five days later. With such a crazy depreciation, many people think that Hong Kong is finished, and so is the Hong Kong dollar.
In order to prevent their money from evaporating due to the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, Hong Kong citizens have withdrawn their bank deposits, either to buy hard currencies such as gold and US dollars, or to buy expensive goods such as home appliances and automobiles.
When citizens invariably withdraw their deposits, there are even long queues at the entrance of some banks to withdraw money. Immediately afterwards, rumors about a certain bank being "squeezed" began to spread, and in connection with the collapse of Xie Liyuan's gold shop last year, a credit crisis broke out in many banks in Hong Kong, and more people went to the bank to withdraw money.
Finally. Hang Lung Bank was the first to fail, and the British government had to take over the bank urgently and promise reassurance to the public, which finally suppressed the run.
In order to prove that Hong Kong would collapse as soon as it left the British administration, and then put pressure on the mainland, the British-funded media were the first to spread unfavorable news and cause panic among the citizens. As a result, the mainland simply ignored it, and now the British side is unable to step down from Taiwan.
These have nothing to do with Kang Jianfei, all he cares about is whether he can make a profit from it.
Although he didn't know the specific rise and fall of the Hong Kong dollar, Kang Jianfei believed that the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar would definitely rise back, so he used nearly 100 million US dollars to convert all of them into Hong Kong dollars.
Kang Jianfei's luck was very good, and this time he let Lian Meng guess correctly.
It will only take another half a month. The Hong Kong government will take coercive measures to keep the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar at 7.8. That is to say, Kang Jianfei's act of speculating in Hong Kong dollars can bring him a huge profit of 20 million US dollars (equivalent to more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars) in less than a month.
……
……
Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.
At this time, Tseung Kwan O was only a sparsely populated and remote village, and the Hong Kong government began to develop the new town of Tseung Kwan O last year, and the road has only just been built. There was still desolation all around.
The Government's initiative to develop the new town of Tseung Kwan O is the happiest for the residents of Tiu Keng Leg. Because if you want to build a road to Tseung Kwan O, you have to pass through Tiu Keng Leg, which has been able to go out by boat for decades, and finally has a road to Kowloon.
The hundreds of acres of wasteland purchased by Kang Jianfei, located between Tiu Keng Leng and Tseung Kwan O, have now been repaired with an administrative building and some antique wooden buildings.
A black Cadillac sedan pulls out from a newly repaired road. Drive from a muddy yellow mud road to the hot construction site.
Before the car stopped, several people in suits at the construction site had already greeted them, and they greeted Kang Jianfei after getting out of the car.
For the construction of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Kang Jianfei invited a construction company under Cheung Kong Industrial. In the past two years, the houses in Hong Kong have not been easy to sell, there have been no new real estate construction, and the major construction companies are too poor to open the pot.
At the beginning, Kang Jianfei revealed the news that he wanted to build a film and television city to several major construction companies, and those companies almost didn't fight in order to grab business. In the end, Kang Jianfei also held a small-scale bidding meeting, and then handed over the business to Cheung Kong Industrial, which had the most cost-effective price.
Walking in the front was Guo Changming, the person in charge of the construction site, who was wearing a hard hat and shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Hello Mr. Kang." Guo Changming, a contemptible person, is the deputy project manager of the film and television city construction site. ”
"Manager Guo, hello." Kang Jianfei reached out and shook his hand.
Because Kang Jianfei really didn't have any henchmen, the film and television city did not send someone to be responsible for management, but just asked his cousin Zhou Mingfang to check the accounts regularly, and then asked professionals to check the quality of the project every once in a while.
As for who will be in charge after the film and television city is built, Kang Jianfei has no suitable candidate in his heart until now.
Just when Kang Jianfei was talking to Guo Changming, someone suddenly popped out of the crowd and greeted Kang Jianfei with a smile: "Hello Mr. Kang." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled dumbly when he saw this person, and replied: "It turned out to be Lao Li, are you here today?" ”
The person who came was Li Saifeng's father, Li's father made a lot of money in business a few years ago, but he lost a lot of money by speculating in stocks and real estate. Now he still holds a few houses in his hands, which will be worth tens of millions in ten years, but now they are sold cheaply and are difficult to get rid of.
The money Li Saifeng made from filming was used by her father to mend the holes. This time, when he heard that Kang Jianfei was going to build a film and television city, Li's father asked his daughter to intercede, and Shengsheng won the decoration project of the film and television city.
"To decorate Mr. Kang's house, of course, you have to be careful and serious, if you don't come to see it in person, I won't even be able to sleep well at night." Father Li said obediently, Kang Jianfei's current status is already a storage that he can only look up to, so he naturally wants to be more flattered.
How to say that he also wants to play with other people's daughters, Kang Jianfei is still polite to this "father-in-law", nodded at him and said, "Yes, it seems that I didn't find the wrong person for this decoration." ”
Father Li was affirmed by Kang Jianfei, and the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he immediately slapped it with a sycophant. kept putting a high hat on Kang Jianfei.
Guo Changming took Kang Jianfei to the construction site and said: "Some time ago, there was a typhoon and a rainstorm, and the work was suspended for a whole month and a half, otherwise the progress would definitely be much faster." Would you like Mr. Kang to go to the construction site over there and have a second look? ”
"No need," Kang Jianfei shook hands with Guo Changming and said, "Manager Guo, go get busy, I'll go around the ancient city." ”
Father Li immediately said: "Mr. Kang is going to watch them film." I'll go with you. ”
Kang Jianfei nodded, and walked towards the ancient city not far away with Father Li.
The so-called ancient city is just a short antique street, and the "mansion" of "Bao Qingtian" is located here.
Due to the short construction time, many shots of the crew of "Bao Qingtian" had to go back to Songcheng in the Liyuan Playground to shoot. However, the drama of the Kaifeng Mansion has to be here.
When Kang Jianfei came to the crew of "Bao Qingtian", "Master Bao" was sitting in the court to try the case, and there were many ordinary people wearing ancient costumes standing at the entrance of the government office.
At this time, the first unit of "Bao Qingtian" was filmed, "Quanmei Case", Bao Zheng played by Jin Chaoqun sat in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, and Gongsun Ce played by Li Hanzhi stood next to him, and the other was Zhanzhao played by He Jiajin.
Lai used to be an actor at Phoenix Films, but the company went from bad to worse due to the leftist company. I finally joined Leigh's TV four years ago. This person's acting skills are good, and his appearance is not bad, but he has been playing an evil character on the TV station, and this time he is "good" to let him play Gongsun Ce.
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han also stood on both sides of the lobby, and the actors were all students who graduated from the Phoenix training class last year, such as Huang Qiusheng's friend Wu Yijiang who played Zhao Hu.
Kang Jian flew to the nearby servants with burning sticks and glanced at them, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the face of one of them, because he suddenly found an "acquaintance". The tricky officer. It is Tian Qiwen, the third senior brother in "Shaolin Football", who is also one of the heads of Xinghui's Xinghui Company, responsible for Xinghui's image promotion, business development, performing arts brokerage and production planning of the film.
In the lobby of the mansion, Chen Shimei, played by Zeng Weiquan, is standing with her hands in her hands, while Qin Xianglian, played by Ruan Peizhen, is crying to Lord Bao about what happened to her. These two actors are both from the former Lishi training class, but they belong to the kind of actors who are half-popular and not purple, and have some fame but have never been able to become popular.
"Qin Xianglian, what you said is the truth? Chen Shimei is a courtier. If you lie, you are framing the emperor's relatives and relatives......" Bao Zheng, played by Jin Chaoqun, was shocked, and said his lines in a low tone. He used to be a stage actor, and this dramatic tone is combined with the image of the iron-faced and selfless Bao Zheng. Just the perfect integration of characters, plot and history.
"Click!"
Under the order of director Liang Tian, this scene is over, and the actors who have no scenes in the next scene immediately find a makeup artist to take off their wigs, which can heat people to death if they wear it for more than ten minutes in summer.
Tian Qiwen, the third senior brother who originally played the official servant, immediately ran to help move the props after removing his makeup, Kang Jianfei pointed at Tian Qiwen and asked Liang Tian: "What is the name of that actor?" ”
Liang Tian remembered the fame of a little dragon set, and immediately recruited his assistant choreographer to ask.
The assistant choreographer replied: "That decrepit boy is called Tian Qiwen, who joined Lishi as a field worker four years ago, and occasionally runs some tricks. After the separation of production and broadcasting on Phoenix Channel, the contracted actors were transferred to Oriental Entertainment Company, and this Tian Qiwen did not have a formal contract, so he could only continue to work with the crew for a short time. ”
"Give him a small supporting role with lines in the future, I just watched him play a trick quite seriously." Kang Jianfei casually mentioned that it was not good to mention a little person like Tian Qiwen too much.
Although Liang Tian and the assistant choreographer were puzzled, they didn't think about it, they only thought that Kang Jianfei was more pleasing to the eye to see that actor, so they gave him a chance.
Kang Jianfei shook around the crew, and the main actors such as Jin Chaoqun and He Jiajin hurriedly came over to greet him. As for those little dragon sets and crew employees who rarely saw Kang Jianfei's side, they all looked at it with wide eyes, and the clever ones worked hard, hoping to show themselves in front of the boss.
Xu Xiaoming, the producer of "Bao Qingtian", also arrived soon, he was just supervising the production of another director's team at Liyuan Playground, and when he heard that Kang Jianfei came to the film and television city, he immediately rushed over by car.
"Lao Xu, "Bao Qingtian" will be broadcast the day after tomorrow, do you have the confidence to win TVB?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Xu Xiaoming said quite confidently: "It's certain to win TVB, just look at how much the ratings can surpass the other side." In our "Bao Qingtian", the time to make costumes and props alone is enough to shoot a TVB's "The Legend of Bao Gong". ”
TVB's "The Legend of Bao Gong" has been in theaters for five days, and the highest ratings once reached 44 points, which can be regarded as a good start before Phoenix Channel.
Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled: "Why do I want to separate production and broadcasting?" Television programs should focus on the entire Asian market. It can be sold for a few bucks in Hong Kong, but it is only a fraction of a penny. Therefore, the quality of the program is the first, and the cost can be saved, but the money that should be spent must be spent, and it cannot be as petty as TVB. ”
Xu Xiaoming hurriedly claimed that he knew that Kang Jianfei was beating him, and the reason was that the quality of the programs of the TV production department had declined some time ago.
