107 [Sufficient Funds]

Kang Jianfei wants to invest in filming "The Wrong Car", which is another time and space, and the new art city has entered Taiwan. b. A blockbuster movie in the box office market.

Because Princess Jin's overseas distribution ability was still very weak at that time, the film schedule of this drama in Taiwan was very bad, and it was often interrupted after more than half a month after being released in one theater. But it is in this unfavorable situation that due to the Taiwan. b. The audience's enthusiastic viewing of the movie, "The Wrong Car" was in Taiwan within five months. It was re-screened 8 times and won more than NT$40 million at the box office in one fell swoop.

This may be an unbreakable record in the history of world cinema - not the release time of "The Wrong Ride", but the number of times it has been re-released in a short period of time.

Kang Jianfei is not ready to direct this drama himself, he wants to be the boss of a large film company like Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, not a big actor and a small boss like Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao. He can draw the storyboard script of the movie in advance, as long as the director's level is not too bad, it will basically not be out of shape.

Who is going to direct?

Zeng Zhiwei first ruled out that it was okay to make a comedy in the market, but it would be too difficult for him to make an emotional song and dance film.

Then only Chen Xunqi is left, this guy's background in music, making song and dance films should be more suitable. However, Chen Xunqi's current directing ability is obviously insufficient, and he must be equipped with a strong executive director. Moreover, this executive director must also be a station. Bay people, to Taiwan. I have to know the society, folklore and so on very well.

The director of the original "The Wrong Car", Yu Kanping, is Taiwan. Wan people, this guy first became the director of New Art City, and then took the initiative to put forward the idea of "Taking the Wrong Car". Then I had a planning and discussion with Huang Baiming. In the end, Huang Baiming spent two days to complete the script creation, while Yu Kanping returned to Taipei to gather soldiers and horses to prepare for filming.

The people gathered by Yu Kanping are not simple. The only people who wrote songs for "Taking the Wrong Car" included the most elite figures in the current Taiwanese music scene - Luo Dayou, Hou Dejian, Chen Zhiyuan, Li Shouquan and others.

Ahem, of course. Kang Jianfei wants to invest in filming "The Wrong Car", so naturally he doesn't have to trouble Luo Dayou and them anymore. Because Kang Da talents can also "create" songs, adhering to the principle of those who can work hard, the interludes in "Taking the Wrong Car" are so popular that Kang Jianfei naturally covers them all.

As for the soundtrack of "The Wrong Car", of course, it is sung by Su Rui, as long as the record is released, it will ensure that she will be popular.

Kang Jianfei is going to let Chen Xunqi be the director of "The Wrong Car", and then let Yu Kanping be the executive director for him. It's just that this Yu Kanping doesn't seem to have come to Hong Kong to develop now. Because it's still in Taipei.

Pan Yingzi was helping Kang Jianfei find information about Lin Qingxia, and now she doesn't know where she ran to.

Kang Jianfei's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered someone, and found the phone number of Ma Yunsheng, general manager of China Film Cultural City, and dialed it: "Hey, hello Manager Ma, I'm Kang Jianfei from Hong Kong." ”

"It's Mr. Kang, are you coming to Taipei to make a movie again?" Ma Yunsheng's tone was much more enthusiastic than last time, after all, "Happy Ghost" was in Taiwan. The box office of the bay broke 10 million, and the box office of the movie is in a slump today. Bay. Kang Jianfei is a little famous. And the news of the Hong Kong box office success of "Mr. Zombie" has also been received by most people in the industry in Taiwan.

Kang Jianfei said: "Yes." I want to ask Manager Ma personally, do you know that there is a director named Yu Kanping? ”

Although Ma Yunsheng is a straw bag, he still knows a lot of people. After a moment's thought, he said, "Oh, you're talking about the little director of Lukfook Company, I remember." What do you ask him for? ”

Kang Jianfei made up blindly: "I heard that he has a good level of directing. I want to recruit him as an assistant director. ”

Ma Yunsheng said disdainfully: "He is a small director of a small company, and he has a fart level." If Mr. Kang is short of people. I'll recommend a few to you casually, and I guarantee that they are better than this Yu Kanping! ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Hehe." I don't need it for the time being, I'll just inquire about this surnamed Yu. Does Manager Ma have his contact information? ”

Ma Yunsheng coaxed: "I often contact big directors, where will I leave Yu Kanping's phone number?" I have a Lukfook phone number here, do you want it? ”

Kang Jianfei said happily: "Thank you! ”

After asking about the phone number of the general manager of Lukfook Film Company, Kang Jianfei immediately dialed it, and a somewhat impatient female voice came from there: "Hey, Lukfook Pictures, who are you?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "May I ask if it's Manager Liu?" ”

The woman on the phone said: "I'm his secretary, if there's anything to say, I'll leave this afternoon." ”

Kang Jianfeiqi said: "Why don't you do it?" ”

The woman said: "Lukfook Pictures is going to close, and the boss is still hiding debts in the Philippines, what am I doing in the company?" ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "I asked you about the person, is Yu Kanping here?" ”

The woman laughed and said, "What are you looking for Kanping, he left the company last month." Speaking of which, Lukfook Pictures went bankrupt, he also had a share of the credit, more than 4 million to make a "Sanmao Wandering", and the box office was only 860,000. ”

Kang Jianfei sweated wildly, and went around with the female secretary for a long time to get Yu Kanping's phone and address.

"Mr. Kang, do you have anything to order?" Chen Xunqi walked into Kang Jianfei's office.

"Please be seated," Kang Jianfei asked, "How is 'Three Minutes Hero' doing?" ”

Chen Xunqi replied: "I'm doing the post-production soundtrack. ”

Kang Jianfei pushed over the script he had just written in the company for four hours and said, "Don't you want to be a director?" I happen to have a script here. ”

""The Wrong Car"?" Chen Xunqi looked curiously.

Kang Jianfei said: "Now there is only the synopsis and the first half of the story, and I haven't written the second half yet, you can prepare first after reading the script." ”

After turning a few pages, Chen Xunqi exclaimed: "It happened in Taiwan. b's song and dance film! This, I'm afraid this shoot will hit the street. ”

The song and dance film itself is synonymous with hitting the street, not to mention that it still takes place in Taiwan. The story of the b. is now staged. The film market in the Bay is not very prosperous.

Kang Jianfei said: "You don't have to worry about other things, you just need to make this movie well." Because you're on the table. You may not know the social customs of the b, so I'm going to give you a station. Executive Director of the b. Here is his contact information. When you're done with the soundtrack of "Three Minutes Hero", you can leave for Taipei to find him. Other than that. There is no need to rush this film, I will only be on stage when I am ready for the New Year. b. Screenings. You have plenty of time. ”

"That's good." When Chen Xunqi heard that he had a lot of time, the pressure suddenly decreased a lot, and he was excited to be a director for the first time.

"Oh, by the way," Kang Jianfei added, "I may be going to make a movie recently, so you can't bring the company's crew." The crew of "The Wrong Car" is going to Taipei to set up a temporary setup, where there is a Lukfook Film Company that is about to go out of business, and you can take the opportunity to recruit some people. ”

Chen Xunqi was stunned when he heard it. He used to be a soundtrack and actor, and although he has been on the set since he was fifteen years old, he only worked as an assistant director in the just-filmed "Three Minutes Hero". Now Kang Jianfei actually asked him to kill Taipei single-handedly, and all the crew members have to be summoned by themselves, isn't this a cheat?

Kang Jianfei saw Chen Xunqi's embarrassed face, and said with a secret smile in his heart: Old guy, didn't you just be a friend with your daughter for a few days, and you dared to beat me like that. In this life, how can I double it back, and squeeze all your abilities out to help me make money. If you don't believe it, you won't die!

"Brother Qi, I believe in your ability!" Kang Jianfei said in a solemn tone.

When Chen Xunqi heard this, his heart was hot, and he thought: The boss trusts me so much, what should I do in the future? Replaced by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. They would never give themselves that chance. Mr. Kang is really a good person, he has the demeanor of a general, I must make a good movie. Live up to Mr. Kang's expectations!

Chen Xunqi nodded excitedly and said, "Mr. Kang, please rest assured, I will do my best." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled with satisfaction: "Very good." You go and get busy with the soundtrack of "Three Minutes Hero" first, and then come to me to get the rest of the script of "The Wrong Ride" when you're done. ”

"Mr. Kang. Then I'll go first. Chen Xunqi stood up and walked out of the office in high spirits.

After Chen Xunqi left, Kang Jianfei asked his cousin and aunt to come to the company to take a look at the company's accounts.

Originally, the company had more than 7.5 million in its accounts, but due to the filming of "Three Minutes Hero", the formation of a martial arts class, spending money to buy Zhong Chuhong's artist contract, allocating cars to the company and himself, paying employee salaries and other administrative expenses, doing the distribution and promotion of "Mr. Zombie", etc., plus the budget overrun of "Three Minutes Hero", there are still more than 4.6 million left.

At this time, there are still a few days before the final completion of "Mr. Zombie", but the box office dividends of the first round of screenings have been received, and a total of more than 5.1 million has been distributed.

In addition, the "Happy Ghost" that folded South Korea had an unexpected surprise in Japan.

"Happy Ghost" was released in two small theaters in Japan, and because it was a summer file, it actually attracted countless Japanese students to watch the movie, and even queued up to buy tickets for a while. A month after its release, "Happy Ghost" grossed 630 million yen at the box office in Japan, a figure that would have been even better if it weren't for the small number of theaters in theaters.

Cheng Long's "Junior Brother" has a box office of 1.14 billion yen in Japan, and although "Happy Ghost" only has 60% of its box office, Kang Jianfei is already very satisfied. After all, Cheng Long already has box office appeal in Japan, and his Kang Jianfei's "Happy Ghost" is all newcomers.

630 million yen, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, that is 20 million!

The box office of "Happy Ghost" in South Korea is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. Bay is only more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total box office in many Southeast Asian countries is only more than 20 million, and the box office in Japan alone is actually 20 million!

It is no wonder that Japan at this time is the world's second largest movie box office market after the North American market.

Oriental DreamWorks originally had little cash, but as soon as the dividends from the Japanese box office arrived, it immediately filled up, reaching as much as 16.8 million.

16.8 million Hong Kong dollars is a lot, and many large companies can't come up with such cash immediately!

When the dividends of "Mr. Zombie" arrive, Oriental DreamWorks' cash will be close to 20 million.

Well, well, it costs money on the side of Popular Records.

Kang Jianfei directly withdrew 5.3 million from DreamWorks' account and asked Deng Yiming, a kid, to come over and receive the money quickly. (To be continued......)
