094 [Pre-release warm-up]
Mother Zhong took out two benches from the sewing room inside, invited Kang Jianfei and Zhu Jiading to sit down, and hurriedly went to make tea enthusiastically.
Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but ask Kang Jianfei: "Are you an advertiser, a novelist, or a tailor?" ”
Kang Jianfei pointed to the business card in her hand and said, "I introduced myself just now, I am the owner of a film company and want to invite Miss Zhong to make a movie." ”
"Oh, I forgot." Zhong Chuhong hurriedly lowered his head to look at the business card, and suddenly said in surprise, "I remember, you are the flowery man in "Happy Ghost", no wonder you are so familiar." The opening of your DreamWorks is very memorable, a boy fishing on the moon. ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Yes, I made that movie." This time, there is a movie that is about to be made, and I think Miss Zhong is very suitable for the image of the heroine. ”
If it were another girl, she would definitely be surprised and delighted when she suddenly heard that the boss of the film company asked her to play the heroine of the movie. But Zhong Chuhong smiled and shook his head: "I can't act, the last time I played the heroine of "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", I made Director Du Qifeng miserable." ”
Zhu Jiading was left aside in the cold and didn't have a chance to interject, and then suddenly said encouragingly: "Ah Hong, it's none of your business that Du Qifeng's movie hit the street, it's a matter of the script." I think you're doing a great job, and it's a good opportunity! ”
Mother Zhong came out with tea and echoed: "Yes, Ah Hong, do you want to buy clothes here for the rest of your life?" Whether it succeeds or not, you have to try it. ”
Kang Jianfei said very "sincerely": "Miss Zhong, my company can't be compared with a big company like Shaw Brothers now, and this movie is also a small-budget movie, so the salary can only give you a maximum of 30,000 yuan, I hope you don't have too little." ”
"30,000 is enough!" Zhong Chuhong hurriedly said that two months ago, Du Qifeng asked her to play the heroine, and only then did she pay 10,000 yuan. Kang Jianfei is now giving 30,000 yuan, which makes Zhong Chuhong feel that he is taking advantage of others, and he is quite unhappy.
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Then let's just say it, I'll let you know before you start the machine." By the way, could you please leave me a call. ”
"There's a phone!" Zhong's mother was very active in finding a pen and paper, and wrote down the phone numbers of the women's clothing store and her home. There are four children in the family, three of whom are still studying, and it is really difficult for a family of six to make money from a small shop. The eldest daughter Zhong Chuhong can make movies and become a big star, which is Zhong's mother's greatest wish.
Just when Kang Jianfei thought that everything was done, Zhong Chuhong suddenly said: "Mr. Kang, I have signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, if I go to your company to make a movie, do I need to notify Shaw Brothers?" ”
Kang Jianfei almost vomited blood when he heard this, and asked, "Aren't you without a contract?" ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "Not before, but when filming "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", Liu Songren's eldest brother interceded for me and signed a five-year contract with Shaw Brothers. ”
Kang Jianfei thought about it and crashed to death, and said sadly: "Why are you so stupid! Shaw Brothers has been unable to play in the past few years, you look at which Shaw Brothers movie is a blockbuster, tying yourself to Shaw Brothers is ruining your future. ”
When Mother Zhong heard this, she said suspiciously: "No, it's rare for a company as old as Shaw Brothers to sign a contract with it." ”
Kang Jianfei explained: "Aunt, Shaw Brothers Pictures is the most demanding for signed artists, and now everyone in the circle knows that Shaw Brothers is dying. In the first few months of this year, the 9 movies released by Shaw Brothers did not add up to more than my "Happy Ghost", do you think Shaw Brothers has a future? ”
Mother Zhong didn't know this, and said in surprise: "Mr. Kang, you are so powerful? The money earned in one movie is worth nine Shaw Brothers. ”
Kang Jianfei asked Zhong Chuhong: "Miss Zhong, if you leave Shaw Brothers now, how much liquidated damages will you have to pay according to the contract?" ”
Zhong Chuhong stretched out a finger and said, "One million!" ”
Zhu Jiading saw Kang Jianfei asking about liquidated damages, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Kang, is it true that after Ah Hong signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, he can't go to your company to film?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "That's not it, I didn't fall out with the Shaw Brothers, it's still okay to borrow a few people to come out to film." But," Kang Jianfei turned his head to look at Zhong Chuhong, and said to her mother, "Miss Zhong has the potential to become a big star, and I am very optimistic about her, so I am ready to sign and praise her, and now making this low-budget movie is just testing the waters." Alas, alas, she has already signed a contract with Shaw Brothers. ”
Mother Zhong was anxious when she heard this, she was very happy that her daughter could sign Shaw Brothers. But after Zhong Chuhong finished filming "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", she never received a notice from Shaw Brothers, as if the company had completely forgotten her, which made Zhong's mother very cold.
Hearing that Kang Jianfei appreciated his daughter so much, Zhong's mother hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhong, what should I do now?" ”
Kang Jianfei looked embarrassed, this expression was not completely pretended. In the long run, it is very cost-effective to spend one million to poach Zhong Chuhong, but now the company really doesn't have much cash.
Of course, people have to dig up, even if they dig it up and train it for two years, they can make a lot of money by selling artist contracts.
Kang Jianfei pretended to be posturing for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Miss Zhong, I am willing to help you pay one million liquidated damages, but you must sign to my company, the contract period is ten years, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
"Yes, of course I do!" Mother Zhong hurriedly said. After the Shaw Brothers filmed a movie, they didn't care about it, but this Mr. Kang was willing to spend a million liquidated damages for his daughter, and compared the two, it was naturally a good choice to make.
Zhong Chuhong moved a little, but Zhu Jiading frowned and said, "Is ten years too long?" ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, don't talk about a ten-year contract, I shouted on the street that I wanted to recruit people to make a movie, and a large number of people were willing to sign a fifteen-year contract." In the film industry, what is most lacking is opportunity, and I dare not guarantee anything else now, but I can only guarantee that Miss Zhong will be given the opportunity to become famous, and it is a big opportunity, if she continues to stay in Shaw Brothers, she can only waste five years. Now Shaw Brothers is reducing production compared to last year, many old Shaw Brothers stars have no scenes to film, and Miss Zhong can only sit on the cold bench as a newcomer, don't you want her to continue to spend five years of youth in Shaw Brothers, right? ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Kang has spent so much money, and the contract should be signed a little longer." Father Zhong also agreed, he felt that Kang Jianfei was very sincere. Zhong's father opened a women's clothing store, purely in terms of business, after Kang Jianfei spent one million liquidated damages to sign his daughter, he would naturally support his daughter to get back the cost, and he would not do anything for several months like before.
Zhong Chuhong was very annoyed by the arguing of a few of them, and stood aside and waited for them to finish before he spoke: "Mr. Kang, can I think about it again." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Of course you can." However, I hope that it will not take too long to think about it, because my movie will be launched in half a month, and Miss Zhong had better give me an answer within a week, otherwise we can find someone else. ”
Zhong Chuhong was silent for a moment and said, "I'll make a call first." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "Please!" ”
Zhong Chuhong did not avoid everyone, directly picked up the phone on the counter in the store and dialed it, and changed three numbers before connecting the phone: "Hey, hello Brother Liu, I'm Ah Hong...... It's nothing important, I just want to ask, if someone is willing to pay a million liquidated damages to poach me to make a movie, do I have to agree? ”
Kang Jianfei was extremely speechless when he heard it next to him, and shouted wildly in his heart: Sister, am I digging Shao Yifu's corner, are you going to ask a popular TVB student this kind of question!
Liu Songren, who played Chen Jinnan in Zhou Xingchi's version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", has the same status in TVB as Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Yunfa and others. Zhong Chuhong met him when he auditioned for TVB last year, and when Zhong Chuhong's reckless performance left a deep impression on Liu Songren, so some time ago, when Du Qifeng was filming the casting of "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", Liu Songren recommended Zhong Chuhong to be the heroine.
Liu Songren on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before asking, "Which company wants to poach you?" ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "Oriental DreamWorks, Mr. Kang came to me personally. ”
Liu Songren said in a solemn tone: "From the perspective of a friend, I suggest you go over." If you stay at Shaw Brothers, it's hard to have big growth in a short period of time. Since Dongfang Company is willing to spend 1 million liquidated damages for you, it means that they are very optimistic about you, and Director Kang is very good at filming. ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "He said that he would sign a ten-year contract. ”
Liu Songren said: "It's normal to sign for ten years, if Dongfang Company only signs you for three or five years for one million liquidated damages, I suspect that they have other intentions." ”
"Oh, I know it, Xie Lu Xie Brother Liu!" Zhong Chuhong hung up the phone and found that everyone was looking at her.
Because Zhong Chuhong was holding the receiver just now, the person next to him didn't know what he was saying on the phone.
Mother Zhong asked, "Daughter, what did Mr. Liu say?" ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "He suggested that I agree to come down." ”
Kang Jianfei's favorability towards Liu Songren increased greatly, and he said with a smile: "That Mr. Liu is an understanding person. ”
When Zhong's mother heard that even Liu Songren suggested that her daughter sign into Oriental DreamWorks, she suddenly lost even the most doubts, and only urged Kang Jianfei to sign the contract quickly.
Kang Jianfei also wanted to get things done as soon as possible, so he immediately took Zhong Chuhong back to the company. Zhu Jiading was afraid that Zhong Chuhong would suffer, so he wanted to follow him with a dead face, and helped Zhong Chuhong check when he was ready to sign the contract.
returned to the company with the two of them, Pan Yingzi had actually bought the car back, which was simply fast.
Seeing Kang Jianfei coming back with Zhong Chuhong, Pan Yingzi was surprised: "Isn't this the most beautiful Hong Kong sister last year?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "One million liquidated damages, Ah Hong will be a member of the company in the future." ”
"A million! You're really willing. Pan Yingzi looked at Kang Jianfei in surprise, and then at Zhong Chuhong, subconsciously thinking that Kang Jianfei was trying to spend money to pick up girls.
Now that Oriental DreamWorks' cash is only a few million in total, Kang Jianfei actually spent 1 million to sign an actor, and he is also a newcomer who has only made one street movie, Pan Yingzi feels that Kang Jianfei is simply crazy!
Kang Jianfei said: "Sister Zi, you are the manager of the artist department, and you can handle the contract." By the way, I also have to communicate with Shaw Brothers, it would be better if I could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the artist contract, and it would not be too late to pay liquidated damages if I couldn't negotiate. ”
Pan Yingzi sighed and said, "I know that the road has a problem for me." ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Those who can work harder." ”
While the two were talking, Zhong Chuhong was curiously observing the new company. Compared with Shaw Brothers, Oriental DreamWorks is simply a baby, and the office location is incomparably smaller.
Zhu Jiading whispered to her: "Ah Hong, you'd better be careful, this surnamed Kang spent so much money to ask you to film, most of them have other plans." ”
Zhong Chuhong said in disgust: "Why are you like this? It's shameless to speak ill of people behind your back. ”
Zhu Jiading said helplessly: "I am concerned about you, be careful." ”
Zhong Chuhong sighed and said, "I'll say it again, Mr. Zhu, I'm not familiar with you, don't always point fingers at my affairs." ”
"Okay, I'll stop talking." Zhu Jiading was afraid of offending the person he liked, so he had to change the topic, "Tonight's movie ......"
Zhong Chuhong didn't wait for him to finish speaking before refusing: "I'm sorry, I'm not available tonight!" ”
…………
…………
Pan Yingzi has been making movies at Shaw Brothers since she was 14 years old, and has been mixing in the Shaw Brothers studio for more than ten years, and was one of the "New Twelve Golden Hairpins" praised by Shaw Brothers, so she basically knows the senior management of Shaw Brothers Pictures.
With Pan Yingzi to talk to Shaw Brothers, it is naturally twice the result with half the effort.
Zhong Chuhong is also the fourth place of a Hong Kong sister, she only acted in one movie and hit the street, and no one is optimistic that she will become popular in the future. Although the liquidated damages were written to be one million yuan, Pan Yingzi only spent 350,000 yuan to buy Zhong Chuhong's contract, of which 50,000 yuan was Pan Yingzi's kickback......
Shaw Brothers made a lot of money from this deal, Zhong Chuhong, who was signed only two months ago, except for making him the heroine of a street movie, Shaw Brothers did not invest any resources in her, and sold it for 300,000 yuan, which was simply money for nothing.
As for Pan Yingzi's 50,000 yuan rebate, Kang Jianfei didn't know what to do, but he could guess a little. Unless he gets actual evidence, Kang Jianfei will only turn a blind eye, after all, Pan Yingzi has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for the company, and it doesn't matter if he takes a fortune from it.
Kang Jianfei's nonsense fabrication of "Three Minutes Hero" has not yet started filming, and an advertisement for the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" has already been published in the "Oriental Daily".
The content of the advertisement is: "Mr. Zombie", the new masterpiece of "Ten Million Director" Kang Jianfei, will premiere at the Golden Princess Cinema on June 25, and only 1,300 premiere movie tickets will be sold.
Later, he introduced the movie "Mr. Zombie" in detail, saying that there are emerging girl star Li Saifeng, as well as the veteran Shaw Brothers 12 Golden Hairpin Pan Yingzi, and the great director Kang Jianfei starring himself, which is the first fantasy kung fu film in Hong Kong film history. In the film, Kang Jianfei, who captured and killed the three gangsters on the street, will show his real kung fu to the battle, bringing the audience a new visual enjoyment.
And, before the premiere is released in the movie, there are other programs to add to the fun. Director Kang Jianfei and many film production staff will present a variety of wonderful programs to the audience, and Director Kang will also perform his real kung fu live!
There are programs to watch and movies to enjoy, and the ticket price for each premiere ranges from 30 yuan to 50 yuan. What are you waiting for? Call your home number and book your premiere tickets in advance, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last......
As soon as this advertisement came out, many film companies were laughing at Kang Jianfei, saying that he was crazy about money, and many citizens also felt that the ticket price was too expensive. Nowadays, the ticket price of the best theater in Hong Kong, the best time slot, the best schedule, and the best seat is only about 14 yuan, while the ticket price of some bad theaters is only 5 yuan.
Kang Jianfei did what kind of breaking the premiere, the highest ticket cost 50 yuan, it's just a money grab!
Unexpectedly, the limited edition of 1,300 tickets for the premiere was booked on the day of the advertisement, and more than 180 were pre-sold the next day.
Many of these people who booked tickets did not go for the movie, but wanted to see Kang Jianfei's live kung fu performance...... That's the real kung fu of killing people on the street!
Before the Oriental Daily advertisement was published, Kang Jianfei had already sent invitations to more than 200 newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, and each invitation came with a ticket for the premiere of "Mr. Zombie".
There are free movies to watch, and I guess those media outlets will send reporters to attend.
By the time Lei Juekun, Li Maowen, and many filmmakers in Hong Kong reacted, the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" had already been hyped.
For new things, the media is still willing to chase reports, especially some entertainment and film magazines, which are discussing what a movie premiere is.
Lei Juekun read the newspaper while cutting his cigar, and smiled at Li Maowen: "This kid seems to be in the limelight again." 50 yuan a movie ticket, he really dares to sell it! ”
