077 [Take the opportunity to hype]

"Hmph, psychic kung fu movie! What the hell is this kid doing? Zou Wenhuai snorted coldly and threw a copy of "Sing Tao Daily" on the table.

There are also He Guanchang and Cheng Long, the father and son in the office, Cheng Long didn't squeak when he saw Zou Wenhuai's anger, but just looked down at the newspaper headlines.

To be honest, Cheng Long is very curious about Kang Jianfei, he has been in the film industry for more than ten years, and he knows very well what it means for "Happy Ghost" to break 10 million at the box office. Kang Jianfei, as a new director, can achieve this kind of achievement in his first film, which can be described as a miracle.

However, Cheng Long did not regard Kang Jianfei as an opponent, because the two of them were not at the same level at all - even if Kang Jianfei won the Hong Kong box office.

He Guanchang knows Zou Wenhuai's mind very well, although "Happy Ghost" won "Senior Brother" at the box office in the city, but a funny ghost film and a funny kung fu film, the impact of different genres is not too great. And Golden Harvest's distribution ability is not comparable to that of the Golden Princess, Golden Harvest can not only sell "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" to Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but also has a certain distribution capacity in North America, South America, Europe, and Australia, and the overseas box office will inevitably explode "Happy Ghost".

But now Kang Jianfei suddenly announced that the new film is a psychedelic kung fu movie, which makes Zou Wenhuai vigilant, because Cheng Long is also the main kung fu movie. If Kang Jianfei's fantasy kung fu film succeeds, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Cheng Long's witty kung fu film, which is far more than the fire of "Happy Ghost".

Nine years ago, Bruce Lee's kung fu film was born, announcing the death penalty of traditional martial arts films; Two years ago, Cheng Long's witty kung fu film was born, which once again changed the pattern of Hong Kong-made action movies.

Zou Wenhuai is now afraid that what kind of "psychedelic kung fu movie" will set off another trend of kung fu films.

He Guanchang persuaded: "Wen Huai, don't worry about it, Golden Harvest's goal is to face the international market, why bother fighting with the golden princess in this small pond in Hong Kong." The U.S. side is ready, Aaron will fly over tomorrow, and "Killer Trench" is our top priority. ”

In October last year, Zou Wenhuai announced in Hollywood that he would invest $60 million to shoot six big-budget films. At that time, Golden Harvest had just signed Cheng Long, and Zou Wenhuai's move was to build momentum for Cheng Long to enter the American market, trying to make Cheng Long the second Bruce Lee.

Because before Cheng Long signed with Golden Harvest, he already had a very stable box office attraction in Asian countries, but what he lacked was popularity in Europe and the United States.

Hearing the two bosses talking about themselves, Cheng Long immediately straightened his waist, looking forward to going to the United States to kill all sides, like Bruce Lee, making the ghosts scream and go crazy for themselves.

"Killer Trench" is a co-production between Golden Harvest and Hollywood giant Warner Bros., and the film has invited many big-name movie stars from Europe and the United States to join, and several main actors have been paid more than $1.5 million. And Cheng Long's salary in this film is also on par with Hollywood stars, reaching a million dollars that is difficult for Chinese movie stars at this time.

The current US dollar is still very valuable, and the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar is close to 1:8, which means that the salary of this movie Guangcheng Long is more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the box office dividends of "Happy Ghost" won by Kang Jianfei.

Regardless of whether "Killer Trench" is successful or not, Cheng Long has reached a new height of Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars. Because of the brothers Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie at the same time, the salary was only 2 million Hong Kong dollars. There are even fewer other movie stars, and the famous Hong Jinbao's salary is only more than 1 million; Zheng Shaoqiu's TV series is so popular, but his movie salary will not exceed 300,000.

Zou Wenhuai instructed Cheng Long some matters to go to the United States to make films, and asked him to go back to prepare with a pleasant face.

After Cheng Long left, Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked, "Guan Chang, do you think it is possible to dig up that Kang Jianfei?" ”

He Guanchang was surprised: "Why did you think of digging him?" Lei Juekun praised him like that last time, there must be some agreement between the two, even if we can successfully poach people, I am afraid that the liquidated damages paid are not lower than those of digging Ah Long. ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "Now that Ah Long is going to enter Hollywood, I don't want the backyard to catch fire at this time, Kang Jianfei has always been an unstable factor, and Princess Jin is a big trouble." "Happy Ghost" is now in good condition in Southeast Asia, and it is estimated that the box office in Taiwan will not be low, poach Kang Jianfei to earn the Asian box office, and then let Aaron open up the market in the United States, so that we can also advance and retreat freely. ”

He Guanchang is an old partner who has cooperated with Zou Wenhuai for decades, and he knows Zou Wenhuai's character very well. Zou Wenhuai wanted to dig up Kang Jianfei, not only from a commercial point of view, but also with the idea of retaliating against Princess Jin for digging Hong Jinbao.

This time, Lei Juekun dug up Hong Jinbao and caused Jiahe to lose a lot, because when Hong Jinbao left, he packed and took away a whole set of teams, and even Yuan Biao, who Jiahe was ready to hold a little bit of, followed.

Zou Wenhuai continued: "That Kang Jianfei seems to be also ambitious, and this kind of ambitious person is best dug up. Princess Jin can give him what Golden Harvest can give, but Princess Jin can't help him distribute the film to Europe and the United States like Golden Harvest, if he is a smart person, he will definitely agree. ”

He Guanchang could only sigh lightly: "Okay, I'll try it." ”

…………

Since the opening of Oriental DreamWorks, it has not been as lively as it is today.

The influx of dozens of media reporters in the early morning made Ma Qiao a little at a loss, although he was a top student at Harvard Business School, he had no experience in dealing with the media after all. Fortunately, Kang Jianfei called him in advance, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

In the face of the noisy reporters crowded at the door of the company, Ma Qiao moved the bench and stood up and shouted: "Everyone! Journalists, please be quiet, I am Ma Qiao, the head of operations of Oriental DreamWorks. If you have anything to interview, please enter the company in an orderly manner and talk about it! ”

With an office area of less than 200 square meters, dozens of reporters poured in at once, and the company suddenly looked shabby. The most basic chairs and stools were not enough, and these reporters had to stand.

"Director Ma, when will Mr. Kang arrive at the company?" A reporter couldn't wait to ask.

Ma Qiao said according to the words discussed with Kang Jianfei on the phone: "Mr. Kang has other important matters today, and he will not come to the company." ”

A tabloid reporter asked: "Ma Zhuguan, Mr. Kang showed his skills yesterday and killed two robbers on the spot, I wonder if he missed two hands in the company?" ”

Ma Qiao shook his head and said: "I didn't know that Mr. Lu Daokang knew kung fu at all, he was very kind to his subordinates in the company, and he didn't look like he knew kung fu." ”

Zhang Xu, a company typist mixed in with the pile of reporters, suddenly asked, "Can you talk about the psychedelic kung fu movie that Mr. Kang said?" ”

Finally got to the point, Ma Qiao said with a smile: "Fantasy kung fu films, as the name suggests, are a combination of fantasy-themed movies and kung fu films, this is a new movie genre created by Mr. Kang, I believe it will give you a surprise when the time comes." I can't reveal the specific plot of the movie, but the title of the film can let everyone know in advance, the name of this film is "Mr. Zombie". ”

"Isn't that a zombie movie? Zombie movies are who shoots and who pays. A reporter said.

Six years ago, Shaw Brothers made a zombie film, and it ended up on the moon. Since then, no director in Hong Kong has dared to touch zombie films, and zombie films are dead is also a common view in the industry.

Kang Jianfei is now suddenly going to shoot a zombie movie, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations and discussions among reporters.

Ma Qiao said: "Mr. Kang will give a new interpretation to zombie films in this movie, and everyone will know when the time comes." Moreover, this movie will go to Taipei for filming, which is a big production with a budget of 4 million, and it is no longer a small fight with a cost of only 500,000. ”

"Haha......ha

Ma Qiao's last two sentences caused a laugh from reporters, and he actually said that the 4 million big production was not enough for the salary of "Killer Trench" mileage dragon.

Ma Qiao heard the laughter and said: "For Oriental DreamWorks, 4 million is a big production, because this is already all the company's funds. All of us at DreamWorks are committed to making good films and making movies that audiences will love. We are still a small company, but we dare to give everything in order to make a good movie, and the cost of our film is the hard work and sweat of all employees in the company, not money can be measured, so every movie we make in DreamWorks is a big production! ”

"Well, well said!" Zhang Xu, a typist who was a nursery among the reporters, clapped his hands violently, and the other reporters also applauded because they coped with the scene.

Next, Ma Qiao talked about what company was created, the employees worked hard, Mr. Kang stayed up late to write the script, and so on.

The more the reporters listened, the more wrong they became, and they gradually realized that Kang Jianfei was going to use this incident to promote his company and movie, and they were immediately disappointed.

Just when they wanted to leave, a beautiful woman suddenly came into the company - Pan Yingzi came!

Pan Yingzi came on purpose, her fame has decreased greatly after a few years of retirement, and she has the same idea as Kang Jianfei, wanting to use this matter to hype herself.

Pan Yingzi was really scared yesterday, and when she went home, she couldn't fall asleep in bed over and over again, thinking about the bloody scene at that time. Later, somehow, he shifted his mind to Kang Jianfei, who killed the bandits, and became more and more curious about his future boss. Especially Kang Jianfei rescued her from the bandits, hugged her all the way and escorted her to the police station, giving Pan Yingzi a very strong sense of security.

Pan Yingzi finally fell asleep in her thoughts, and woke up feeling much better, and yesterday's events didn't have much impact on her mood. When she saw the headline in today's newspaper, she immediately felt that this was an opportunity to become famous again, so she hurried to the company.

"It's Miss Pan!"

"Is Miss Pan here to find Mr. Kang?"

"Miss Pan, did you divorce Mr. Chen Honglie last week?"

"Miss Pan, someone saw you eating Western food with Mr. Kang at the Peninsula Hotel last night, and holding hands like a couple, how do you explain this?"

“……”

Although Pan Yingzi came to stir up fame, she did not answer the reporter's question, but squeezed directly into the company and only said one sentence: "I'm sorry, I don't want to explain more about yesterday's events." I came to the company today because I have accepted Mr. Kang's offer to be the manager of the artist department of Oriental DreamWorks! ”
