091 [Olive Branch Flying]
Liang Xiaolong, a martial arts idiot, had to learn from it, but Kang Jianfei could only push it off on the grounds that there was no suitable venue, promising that the martial arts class would have a place in the future.
Since Kang Jianfei crossed, he would habitually practice the flexibility of his hands whenever he was free, but his body had not been exercised much. However, there was one thing that made him strange, the last time he encountered the robbers, he burst out at a much faster speed than before the crossing.
This made Kang Jianfei very puzzled, but he didn't bother to think about it anymore, and only regarded this abnormality as a crossing benefit.
Kang Jianfei has always believed that the brain is the foundation of his life, and a person who has no force but no brain is just a martial artist.
It's a pity that he Kang Jianfei crossed once, and there was no change in his intelligence, nor did he have any unforgettable ability, but his body became stronger.
The body is like a cow with a fart, if someone points it at a gun, it is not a headshot!
The great director Kang Jianfei took the bus home, and suddenly remembered that it was time to allocate himself with a car, and the bus congestion during the rush hour in Hong Kong was comparable to the subway in the magic capital of the future.
Kang Jianfei returned home and found that Li Saifeng and Wen Bixuan were not there, and it was estimated that they were still practicing singing at Fengxing Records. He flipped out the manuscript paper and was about to write the last hundreds of thousands of words of "Searching for Qin", when suddenly the doorbell rang "ding dong ding dong".
"Sister Zhi!" Kang Jianfei exclaimed in surprise, but outside the door, Zhao Yazhi was standing there pretty, but he soon saw Wang Tianlin behind Zhao Yazhi, and said with a smile, "Uncle Tianlin is also here, please come in!" ”
Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi haven't seen each other for more than a month, but the two often flirt on the phone. At this time, the cost of long-distance telephone calls across the ocean was sky-high, and during Kang Jianfei's filming in Taipei, the telephone bill cost thousands of Taiwan dollars.
Wang Tianlin is a person who can sit but not stand, after entering the house, he sat on the sofa and said to Kang Jianfei with a smile: "Ah Fei, I didn't go to your celebration banquet last time, but blame me?" ”
Kang Jianfei took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator and put them in front of Zhao Yazhi and Wang Tianlin, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tianlin said that I was able to finish the filming of "Happy Ghost" smoothly, and thank you for your help." ”
Wang Tianlin sighed: "When I first filmed "Chu Liuxiang", I knew that you would come out sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to develop so quickly. Ah Xiang's kid is far worse than you, he said he wanted to make a movie last year, and now he hasn't even written a script. ”
Kang Jianfei was wondering what this old guy was doing when he came to find him, and when he heard him mention Wang Jing, he wondered if he wanted to make a movie with his son? It's impossible, Wang Jing can make a movie at Shaw Brothers, not to mention that he brought Zhao Yazhi with him.
Kang Jianfei didn't understand, and he didn't take the initiative to ask, so he said some common words and went around the bend with Wang Tianlin.
Maybe there was a third person present, Zhao Yazhi didn't say much, only smiled and echoed from time to time.
After going around for a long time, Wang Tianlin asked: "Ah Fei, I heard that you just finished filming "Mr. Zombie"? ”
As soon as Kang Jianfei heard the topic, he cheered up and nodded, "Yes." ”
Wang Tianlin asked: "When will it be released?" ”
Wang Tianlin's question was a bit unruly, because he was from Shaw Brothers, and the specific release date of Kang Jianfei's new film was a trade secret.
Kang Jianfei didn't want to lie to fool him, but he wouldn't reveal specific information, so he only smiled: "Princess Jin is scheduling the film over there, and I don't know the specific release time." ”
Wang Tianlin suddenly asked: "Are you interested in taking "Mr. Zombie" to Shaw Brothers Cinemas to screen the film?" ”
Kang Jianfei didn't expect Wang Tianlin to come to recruit him, it seems that the aura of "tens of millions of directors" is really bullish, and he left Jiahe and came to Shaw Brothers. He smiled and declined: "Shaw Brothers made more than 30 movies last year, and nearly 10 have been made in the first half of the year today, and the production volume is the first in Hong Kong, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of film sources." ”
Shaw Brothers is indeed the number one film producer, what is the use of making more movies? Shaw Brothers released 9 movies in the first few months of this year, but only 2 films grossed more than 2 million, and even 5 films did not gross 800,000, which was worse than last year. Fortunately, Shaw Brothers' distribution ability in Nanyang and Taiwan is very strong, otherwise this local box office alone will also lose Shaw Brothers to death.
In this case, Wang Tianlin was not easy to say, so he only smiled: "Good movies are naturally the better, Ah Fei, you are very good at making movies, as long as you arrive at Shaw Brothers, Boss Shao will definitely not treat you badly." What can Princess Golden give you? Shaw Brothers' overseas distribution ability is the first in Hong Kong, Golden Harvest is far from comparable, Ah Fei, as long as you cooperate with Shaw Brothers, the overseas box office will not say that it will increase tenfold, and it is more than enough to double it. ”
Kang Jianfei saw that Wang Tianlin was still trying to persuade him, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and said bluntly: "Shaw Brothers doesn't support independent films, what should I do?" Is it a filming machine like Chu Qian? ”
Wang Tianlin was speechless for a moment, Chu Wan is Chu Yuan, which is the reputation he won after more than ten consecutive movies in Taiwan exceeded 10 million at the box office a few years ago. is such a director who has made great contributions to the Shaw Brothers, but now he has become the Shaw Brothers' filmmaking machine because of the poor box office.
Since the beginning of this year, except for the Spring Festival days, Chu Yuan has basically never been out of the studio, and has been making movies for Shao Yifu, and even sleeping on the set.
Wang Tianlin didn't mention Chu Yuan again, but said: "The rules are always set by people, Boss Shao hopes to join the shareholder Fang DreamWorks, and then Oriental DreamWorks will cooperate with Shaw Brothers in the name of an independent film company." ”
It turned out that it was this idea!
Kang Jianfei unceremoniously refused: "Uncle Tianlin, Oriental DreamWorks is my brainchild, and even Lei Juekun wants to buy shares has not been negotiated, do you think I will cooperate with Shao Yifu?" ”
Kang Jianfei called Shao Yifu's name directly, obviously not wanting to talk about it anymore, Wang Tianlin set his eyes on Zhao Yazhi and quietly gave her a look.
Obviously, Zhao Yazhi was pulled by Wang Tianlin to be a lobbyist.
Zhao Yazhi just drank the soda, pretending not to see Wang Tianlin's small movements, and didn't say a word.
Wang Tianlin was helpless, knowing that the task given to him by Shao Yifu could not be completed, so he chatted a few more words, and then got up and left.
Back at his home, Wang Tianlin immediately dialed Shao Yifu's phone and said, "Sixth brother, Kang Jianfei refused, looking at his appearance, it's useless for anyone to talk." ”
"Then forget it." Shao Yifu's voice came from the phone.
…………
…………
Fang Yihua saw Shao Yifu put down the phone, and hurriedly asked, "He refused?" ”
Shao Yifu nodded, not too disappointed. He has always been against independent production, and the box office of Shaw Brothers movies in the past two years has been too ugly, so he can't help but have the idea of winning over Kang Jianfei.
Shao Yifu has always had a good relationship with the Li family, and even when he took over the power of TVB some time ago, he did not fall out with the Li family.
Li Dingchang of Li Stage was invited to watch "Mr. Zombie" in the morning, and Shao Yifu learned from Li Dingchang in the afternoon that "Mr. Zombie" is very good-looking, which made Li Dingchang, a nearly 50-year-old person, laugh, and it is likely to be a box office hit again.
Shao Yifu couldn't sit still when he heard it, during the Chinese New Year, due to the confrontation between "Happy Ghost" and "Senior Brother", both sides were box office hits, and Shaw Brothers' "Modern Dirtyman" was affected by the pond fish, and few moviegoers painted in advance.
Hearing that "Mr. Zombie" is likely to be a box office hit again, Shao Yifu immediately asked Wang Tianlin to be a lobbyist, because Wang Tianlin has a relationship with Kang Jianfei, and by the way, he also brought Zhao Yazhi, who has an ambiguous relationship with Kang Jianfei.
Shao Yifu's mood was very conflicted, hoping that Wang Tianlin's persuasion would succeed, but also hoping that he would fail. Because once Kang Jianfei's Oriental DreamWorks cooperated with Shaw Brothers for a long time as an independent film company, it broke the Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system, which is inconsistent with Shaw Yifu's film business philosophy.
The big studio system is certainly rigid and has many shortcomings. However, Golden Harvest's independent production system also has many hidden dangers, and Shao Yifu sees this clearly, so he doesn't want to change it.
"Sixth brother, since the box office is sluggish, you are now the chairman of the board of directors of TVB, I think it is better to shift your focus to TVB." Fang Yihua's mind is different, she is not keen on movies, but believes that the TV industry has great prospects for development.
One of the reasons why Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers was that Fang Yihua transferred many of Shaw Brothers' resources to the TV station, which completely conflicted with Zou Wenhuai's ideas.
Shao Yifu nodded lightly, as if he was persuaded by Fang Yihua, but he never let go of the movie in his heart.
In order to make movies, the Shaw brothers did not hesitate to sell their ancestral property, and were ridiculed as losers. He Shao Yifu was originally studying in the school, and a telegram from his brother came, and he immediately dropped out of school and went back to the film company to help.
The Shao family's film company has had several ups and downs, and the current Shaw Brothers Pictures was completely destroyed by the Japanese army, Shao Yifu was re-established brick by brick, and the hard work he poured into Shaw Brothers Pictures was not at all understandable by Fang Yihua, a concubine.

When Shao Yifu recalled his eventful years, Lei Juekun was reading the document sent by Kang Jianfei this afternoon, titled: "Mr. Zombie" premiere plan book.
Lei Juekun pushed Ji Lu's book to Li Maowen, and after he finished reading it, he asked, "What do you say?" ”
Li Maowen sneered: "It's a pure waste of money, and I actually want to ask a TV station to broadcast it, and such a large-scale premiere will cost at least 200,000 yuan." Is the TV station he can be on if he says it? It's better to go straight to the midnight show. ”
Lei Juekun took a puff of his cigar and said, "I think the gimmick of the premiere is good, and it will save a lot of publicity costs if it is done well." ”
Li Maowen said: "Since that kid's movie refuses to give a distribution fee, let him pay for the promotion of it himself, anyway, the golden princess's signboard has been launched, and there is no need to help him spend money to attract the audience like he did during the New Year." ”
Lei Juekun nodded and said: "We still have to do the theater promotion that should be done, but let Kang Jianfei do the release and promotion of "Mr. Zombie" by himself." Didn't he want to use the Golden Princess Cinema for the premiere scene? How much rent should be paid for the chartered theater, we will calculate it for him according to the market price! ”
"Yes, my brother also has to settle accounts, not to mention that our Golden Princess and him are only in a cooperative relationship." Li Maowen said with a smile, he knew that Lei Juekun's move was to knock Kang Jianfei.
Lei Juekun asked: "Is the film in the theater arranged?" ”
The source of the Golden Princess is now relatively sufficient, but it is still not as many as Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and it is still easy to arrange films.
Li Maowen said: "The first screening of "Mr. Zombie" is scheduled for June 28, but this kid wants to get the premiere, and his premiere is scheduled for June 25. ”
