The Peninsula Hotel, Chaan Restaurant.

Deng Yiming sat by the window, reading the newspaper while leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

He can be so leisurely, thanks to Kang Jianfei. After Deng Yiming got the distribution rights of the album of the same name from Kang Jianfei, although he gave 12% of the profits to Kang Jianfei personally, the company only earned more than 400,000 yuan from his busy work, but the impact did not stop there.

Before the release of the "Happy Ghost" record, Deng Yi was forced into debt every day. But when Fengxing Records released the record as an agent, those creditors saw the hope of Fengxing Records' comeback, and finally agreed to suspend the debt, which gave Deng Yiming the leisure to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel.

The newspaper is a report about the premiere of "Mr. Zombie", and many newspaper reports in the past few days are related to Kang Jianfei. For example, the case of the Vietnamese robbers was opened, Kang Jianfei and Pan Yingzi appeared in court as parties and witnesses, and afterwards the West Kowloon Police Station presented pennants to Kang Jianfei and so on.

To be honest, Deng Yiming admires Kang Jianfei, who is three years younger than him and can start a film company from scratch, while he is still struggling with the company's debts.

Just as Deng Yiming was flipping through the newspaper, Kang Jianfei's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Mr. Deng, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"No, I just arrived early." Deng Yiming said with a smile.

Kang Jianfei wanted to have refreshments, and after chatting a few words, he said unceremoniously: "The total sales of the record of "Happy Ghost" in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are less than 100,000, and it seems that the distribution ability of popular record companies needs to be improved. ”

Deng Yiming's face was very embarrassed when he heard this, if it is an ordinary newcomer singer's record, it is already very good to have a circulation of 100,000. But "Happy Ghost" is the box office champion in Hong Kong. Southeast Asia also sold well, but the total sales of Hong Kong's Cananyang Records were less than 100,000. That's a number that I can't put into my grasp.

Six years ago, Hong Kong singers at that time had a hard time. There are few records that sell tens of thousands of records locally. But after Xu Guanjie's "Ghost Horse Double Star" was released, the record of the same name sold more than 100,000 copies in Southeast Asia alone.

In comparison, the operation of the popular record company is too much of a failure for the same blockbuster movie - although there is a big gap in the fame and strength of the singers, the record market environment is much better now than six years ago.

Deng Yiming explained: "Since my father was paralyzed in bed, many of the previous cooperative units have lost contact. But don't worry, Mr. Kang, I'm already trying my best to fix the distribution channel, and this kind of problem will definitely not occur again next time I release a record. ”

Kang Jianfei sighed: "At the beginning, I thought that Fengxing Records was a veteran company, and its business ability was very strong. I handed over the agency distribution to you, but I didn't expect it to be so disappointing. ”

Deng Yiming only smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he slandered Kang Jianfei's belly: You mixed protein takes 12% of the profit, and you actually get cheap and sell well!

Kang Jianfei changed the topic and said: "I heard that the debt problem of Fengxing Records has not been solved yet? ”

The little smile on Deng Yiming's face quickly disappeared, and he felt that Kang Jianfei asked him out today, as if it was not a good idea to fight. At the moment, he said: "I will solve the debt problem of Fengxing Records, and I don't bother Mr. Lao Kang." ”

Kang Jianfei sighed and said: "It's not a way for you to go on like this, the account will only get more and more." ”

"As I said, these don't bother Mr. Laokang." Deng Yiming said unhappily. You must know that the Tao is in another time and space. The old company of Fengxing Records still existed until the 21st century, but it was reduced to a small company with only a few employees, which shows how capable Deng Yiming is.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Okay." I won't say anything. How is Ah Feng and Ah Xia's singing training going? ”

"Li Saifeng is slightly better, Wen Bixuan's progress is also very slow, she is not suitable for singing at all." Deng Yiming sighed. He was only 21 years old after all. It's still too tender, and I rushed to the doctor when I was sick. signed the second daughter on impulse, and now it's too late to regret it.

Kang Jianfei said: "It doesn't matter if you sing badly. Just take the idol route. ”

"Idol singer? What's the use of being good-looking, if you sing badly, no one will spend money on a record. Deng Yiming said depressedly.

Now there is really no concept of idol singers, the main thing is that now fans listen to singers sing, and it is difficult to see the image of singers, they are mainly listening to singing. The original MV is now available, but the singer is motionless in front of the camera, at most occasionally waving and kicking.

The MV in the real popular sense has to wait for Michael two years later? Jackson was in power. Since then, music MVs have gradually become popular, and after a few years of development, there is finally the kind of idol singer who sings very badly but is very popular.

Today's singers, they are all powerful, you sing badly and make a fart record!

Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "What, does Mr. Deng want to terminate the contract?" ”

Deng Yiming wanted to terminate the contract, but in the contract signed by Kang Jianfei with him, he clearly said how many records he would send to Li Saifeng and them a year. Deng Yiming is breaking the contract now, which is going to lose money, although the loss is not much, but the popular record really can't be taken out.

Seeing that Deng Yiming didn't speak, Kang Jianfei asked, "Has Mr. Deng ever thought about selling Fengxing Records?" ”

"Impossible?" Deng Yiming refused.

Kang Jianfei asked again: "What about my shares?" I take on the company's debts. ”

When Deng Yiming heard that Kang Jianfei was going to bear the debt, he asked with some heart: "How are you going to cooperate?" ”

Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically: "How much does Fengxing Records owe now?" ”

Deng Yiming said: "More than 4.5 million. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I injected 500,000 yuan into the company, and assumed another 4.5 million debts, 5 million in exchange for 90% of the shares of Fengxing Records. ”

Deng Yiming shook his head and said, "Impossible, at most 49% of the shares will be given to you." ”

Kang Jianfei knocked on his forehead and said, "If it were someone else, no one would ask for your company's bid of 1 million." ”

Deng Yiming said: "In my heart, Fengxing Records is worth at least 10 million. ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it." Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Kang Jianfei checked out and left after eating the refreshments.

Deng Yiming also left with a belly full of fire, the reason why he didn't agree to Kang Jianfei's shareholding was that he still had a hole card in his hand.

Just half a month ago, Deng Yiming went to Taipei to contact the release of the record of the same name of "Happy Ghost", and found a singer named Su Rui in a nightclub.

Deng Yiming found Su Rui and asked, only to learn that she had actually struggled in Hong Kong for several years, and won the best performance award in the TVB Singing Contest, and Cantonese or anything was not a problem.

Deng Yiming felt that Su Rui was a singer given to him by God, and he was about to bring him back to Hong Kong from Taipei, and now he is asking songwriters to write songs for Su Rui. Once Su Rui is popular, then all the problems that Fengxing Records is facing now have been solved.

…………

…………

Deng Yiming refused his shareholding, Kang Jianfei didn't care too much, he had a lot of things to do.

The release and promotion of "Happy Ghost" has already begun, and Oriental DreamWorks spent tens of thousands of publicity dollars within a week, and Kang Jianfei's habit of spending money like water made Zhou Mingfang complain a lot.

In the eyes of outsiders, Kang Jianfei is really spending money lavishly, you must know that many of Shaw Brothers' films this year have a local box office of less than 1 million. At the speed at which Kang Jianfei spends money, when "Mr. Zombie" is released, it is estimated that the publicity fee will be more than 500,000.

Summer vacation is coming soon, and this time no one is playing propaganda war with Kang Jianfei.

It is worth mentioning that in the original time and space, Golden Harvest will release a "Money is Strange" in the summer file, which is a comedy directed by Wu Yusen, and has achieved the fourth best result at the annual box office. But because Kang Jianfei invited Xu Guanying, the actor of "Money is Strange", and Lin Zhengying, the action director, to leave in advance, Wu Yusen actually asked Xu Ke to replace Xu Guanying's role, and asked Yuan Heping to replace Lin Zhengying as a martial artist.

As for the Shaw Brothers, there is nothing to say, the summer file is scheduled to be released "Heroes Without Tears" directed by Chu Yuan and starring Zhao Yazhi.

Kang Jianfei didn't pay attention to these two movies, and regarded other films as nothing.

A week before the premiere of "Mr. Zombie", Huang Shrimp finally gathered all the martial artists of the Hong family class and rented an abandoned factory in Kwun Tong as a station.

That factory is very interesting, and there are a lot of rusty machines, I don't know why the factory owner doesn't sell scrap iron. However, it is cheap Kang Jianfei, and if you shoot action movies in the future, this abandoned factory can still be used for filming, and you don't have to spend time on the set.

As soon as the Kangjia class was established, it was strong and strong, with a total of nine members: Huang Shrimp, Shenxian (Yu Yuanwen), Yang Qingqing (female), Zeng Zhiwei, Dong Wei, Liang Xiaolong, Dasha (Cheng Kui'an), Chen Xunqi, and Ye Tao.

Among them, Shenxian, Yang Qingqing, and Ye Tao were recruited by Huang Shrimp, Dong Wei was recommended by Zeng Zhiwei, and Dasha was brought by Liang Xiaolong. In addition, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Xunqi only occasionally made cameo appearances as dragon and tiger martial artists when they were making movies, and they had other jobs at other times.

Among the nine people, except for Ye Tao, all of them were martial artists with quite loud names in another time and space. As for Ye Taoma, according to Huang Shrimp, this person was born in Hong Kong's Great Sage Splitting and Hanging Door, and studied under Chen Xiuzhong, who has a senior brother named Chen Guantai, a junior brother named Qian Xiaohao, and a junior brother named Huang Qiusheng.

Kang Jianfei looked at several members of the Kang family class, and was extremely satisfied, thinking that there are only five people in Cheng Long's family class, and Lao Tzu has nine, which has a great future!

In the sound of firecrackers, Kang Jianfei led everyone to set up a wine offering to the gods and said, "Everyone, today is a good day for the establishment of the Kang family class. In the future, Huang Shrimp will be the head of the Kang family class, Liang Xiaolong will be the deputy head of the team, and I will send someone to manage the finance, and your treatment is only higher than that of other martial arts classes. In addition, in the future, I will take out a part of the action movies shot by Oriental DreamWorks to be a martial artist dividend, depending on the specific box office situation...... Not much to say, Zeng Zhiwei is going to make a movie soon, and the most important thing for everyone is to practice the skills of hanging wires. I'm not talking about the kind that flies up and then falls, but how to make the actor make a fight in the air! ”

Kang Jianfei glanced at Huang Shrimp, who immediately took Cheng Kui'an and Ye Tao to the only locked house here, the warehouse, and moved out a set of special WIA equipment from inside. (To be continued......)
