It took more than a week for the members of the crew of "Mr. Zombie" to apply for visas to enter Taiwan, and in early April, Kang Jianfei flew to Taiwan with everyone.

Li Saifeng is the heroine of this film, but because she has to record the soundtrack of "Happy Ghost", it will take a while to come over. However, the male number one Lin Zhengying also left early, he is not only the leading actor, but also the action director of this film.

Filming action scenes is a technical job, not that anyone who is good at kung fu can be an action director. Bruce Lee is clever, right? But when Bruce Lee was making a movie, as long as Lin Zhengying was not there, he resolutely refused to turn on the camera, because only the actions designed by Lin Zhengying could satisfy him.

Kang Jianfei's group used to do filming preparations, selecting specific filming locations, renting shooting equipment, preparing props and costumes, contacting local extras, etc., all of which had to be done in advance, and the actual filming would be at least a week later.

When Kang Jianfei came to Taipei, the first batch of follow-up works of "Happy Ghost" also began to be released.

Gui Zhihong, a veteran director of the Shaw Brothers, filmed a "Salty Wet Ghost Upper Body", which tells a series of funny stories about a bank clerk who is taken on by a pervert. Before the release of this movie, it intentionally or unintentionally used the signature of "Happy Ghost" to play side promotion, and it got a box office of 3.06 million in 18 days after its release.

You must know that the number of moviegoers at this time is far less than during the Chinese New Year, and "The Upper Body of the Ghost of the Salty World" can get a box office of more than 3 million, which can be described as an outstanding achievement.

After Kang Jianfei received the news in Taipei, he could only cry and laugh, because in the original time and space, there was absolutely no movie "The Upper Body of the Salty Wet Ghost".

Gui Zhihong was a rare box office hero in the last few years of Shaw Brothers. If he is not influenced by Kang Jianfei, Gui Zhihong should make a "Evil" this year, and after a good response, he will immediately make a sequel "Evil Fighting Evil", and then film "Evil Curse" and "Evil Again" next year, until the audience is disgusted when they hear the word "evil".

In the two cinema chains of Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, there are also several follow-up films of "Happy Ghost", such as "Happy Ghost on Campus", "Don't Be a Cowardly Ghost on the Street" and the like, and the box office has actually reached millions.

The reason why several follow-up films have been released in a row is that the super high box office of "Happy Ghost" has stimulated other directors, and the second is that this kind of funny ghost film has a low cost and does not have high requirements for directors and actors, unlike Cheng Long's "Junior Brother" that is difficult to imitate.

After several follow-up films were sold in a row, more small and medium-sized film companies were immediately stimulated. According to later statistics, until the end of 1980, as many as 9 follow-up films of "Happy Ghost" were released, but more were pressed in the warehouse to eat dust after filming.

Seeing this situation, Lei Juekun personally called Kang Jianfei and asked Kang Jianfei to hurry up and make a sequel to "Happy Ghost", and strike while the iron is hot and get a high box office.

Kang Jianfei originally wanted to shoot the second part of "Happy Ghost" in the second half of the year, but seeing this situation, he was ready to postpone the filming plan and wait for this trend to pass.

The experience of encountering robbers and going to the police station that day made Kang Jianfei suddenly have an idea, that is, to make a police movie. One of the important reasons why Kang Jianfei came to Taipei early this time is also to contact actors for the heroine of his next police film.

Because this actor is very big and difficult to invite, Kang Jianfei must go out in person and try his best to persuade the other party to go to Hong Kong to film.

At the same time, Mecca's Struggle Film Company also handed in the first answer sheet for the Golden Princess, and Mecca's self-directed and self-starred "Crazy Boss" was a great success, with a box office of 3.12 million in 20 days of release.

Over in Nanyang, "Happy Ghost" has been released in Southeast Asian countries for more than half a month. Due to the operation of Cathay Cinemas, the cumulative box office of "Happy Ghost" in Nanyang so far is more than 2.7 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Among them, Singapore and Malaysia have the strongest response from audiences, and their viewing popularity can even be compared with "Brother and Brother", but in Thailand and the Philippines, it is much colder, and the box office situation is quite shabby.

As for the Taiwan side, due to the re-matching of Chinese dialogue, it was not until a week after Kang Jianfei went to Taiwan that "Happy Ghost" was screened for the first time in Taipei.

South Korea's screening plan has also been made, but Japan has some trouble. The main reason is that Princess Jin's current overseas distribution ability is too weak, and "Happy Ghost" is not famous from director to actor, and all Japanese film companies put forward very harsh conditions, and they are still in negotiations.

…………

As soon as he got off the plane, Hu Juncai became nervous, his eyes turned around, and he looked like a villain with bad intentions.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "What are you doing?" It's like being a thief. ”

Hu Juncai's palms were sweating and said: "I heard that Taiwan is full of white terror, and any person may be a spy, and if he is arrested, he will be tortured." ”

Kang Jianfei was speechless and said: "Hong Kong is still a decadent capitalist society, do you see if Hong Kong people are living in dire straits, waiting for you to rescue them?" ”

After picking up the luggage, Pan Yingzi said to everyone: "I have already contacted Manager Ma on the phone, and I am also a regular customer of the Jinyue Hotel near the Cultural City, and I can get an 85% discount for accommodation there." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Miss Pan." Kang Jianfei nodded at her and smiled, if these things are done by people who are not familiar with Taipei, how can it be so convenient, and it can be done in a few phone calls.

Everyone drove to the Jinyue Hotel to stay, and after a short rest, they went their separate ways.

Zhong Zhiwen, Zhong Yuan, Wu Chenggang, Qi Bo, Hu Juncai, and Chen Bingkun took the address and unit given by Pan Yingzi, and were respectively responsible for renting filming equipment, contacting the crew for food, recruiting crew members and extras, and so on.

There is no way, the company is too few people now, even technical personnel have to do field work, and even makeup artists have to be temporarily recruited in Taipei.

Of course, Kang Jianfei can't let everyone do it in vain, before coming to Taipei, he had promised to give 5% of the local box office to the incumbent employees of the crew as dividends. If it is a box office hit, even ordinary employees like Li Shan and Zhang Xu who are squatting in the company have a red envelope.

Kang Jianfei likes pit people, but they are all people who have nothing to do with him. The rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, he knew it when he was a pickpocket.

Pit one's own people is equal to pit oneself, and every employee of the company is a wealth. How do you keep it? Kang Jianfei lives with himself and believes that interests are the most practical thing.

Kang Jianfei didn't give Zhong Zhiwen all the dividends from the filming of "Happy Ghost", because they were not their own people at the beginning, but they can't be stingy in the future.

After assigning everyone's affairs properly, Kang Jianfei, Pan Yingzi, Chen Xunqi, and Lin Zhengying went to China Film Cultural City, selected a specific filming location, and met Manager Ma of Cultural City by the way.

China Film Cultural City is located on Zhishan Road, Shilin District, Taipei, which was originally a studio of China Film Company, and was later rebuilt into a cinema with antique buildings, covering an area of nearly 50,000 square meters.

At this time, many ancient costumes and early films of Hong Kong and Taiwan were filmed in the China Film Cultural City, and they were also open to tourists, so the Cultural City was very lively. It wasn't until after the lifting of martial law in Taiwan that crews from Hong Kong and Taiwan went to the mainland for live shooting, and China Film Cultural City gradually declined.

It is precisely because China Film Cultural City is so popular that the manager of the Cultural City is very nourishing, and he also looks arrogant after seeing Kang Jianfei.

Manager Ma's name is Ma Yunsheng, with a chubby five-short figure, and a pair of squinted eyes, he warmly held Pan Yingzi's hand, and stared at her in a daze: "Oh, rare guests, Miss Pan, you haven't been to Taiwan for more than a year, my old horse misses it so much!" ”

"Manager Ma is polite, let me introduce you," Pan Yingzi tried to withdraw her hand and said, "This is Mr. Kang Jianfeikang, and I am also my current boss." This is Mr. Lin Zhengying, who used to be the right-hand man of the big star Bruce Lee. This is Mr. Chen Xunqi, a famous soundtrack artist in Hong Kong. ”

"Happy Ghost" has not yet been released in Taiwan, and Ma Yunsheng didn't care too much about Kang Jianfei, so he just shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Hello, hello!" ”

For the sake of Pan Yingzi's face, Ma Yunsheng personally took the four of them to the Cultural City to tour and introduce, and Kang Jianfei finally selected five main filming locations.

In the evening, Ma Yunsheng offered to invite the four of them to dinner, saying that he wanted to catch the wind and wash the dust for them, but this guy's eyes kept rolling on Pan Yingzi.

Taking advantage of the interval between going to the hotel, Kang Jianfei whispered to Pan Yingzi: "Miss Pan, this Manager Ma seems to be very interesting to you." ”

Pan Yingzi said with a smile: "That dead fat man is a pervert, I heard that I am divorced, and he still revealed on the phone that he wanted to keep me as a lover, and he didn't count whether his money was enough!" ”

Kang Jianfei jokingly asked: "I also want to Bao Azi Sister you, I don't know how much money is enough?" ”

Pan Yingzi is a woman who can afford to joke, and she gave Kang Jianfei a provocative wink, and said with a smile: "If it were you, you could get a five-percent discount." ”

Zhao Yazhi's beauty is dignified and elegant, but Pan Yingzi is different. This woman was born with a childish face, and she is still as delicate as a girl in her 30s, but with her innocent face, she has a pair of charming and enchanting peach blossom eyes.

Such a strong contrast made Pan Yingzi's peach blossom eyes full of electricity, and Kang Jianfei was shocked by her, and he actually felt like his heart was beating faster.

This woman is not a good person!

Kang Jianfei shouted: Demon, where to escape!

——————
