"Royal Sister", "Mr. Zombie", and "The Wrong Car", these works of Kang Jianfei sold well in several countries and regions at the same time. Ordinary Hong Kong citizens may not know the news, but their peers in the Hong Kong film industry quickly know the news, and then there is collective envy, jealousy and hatred.

Nanyang is the back garden of Hong Kong films, but at this time, Hong Kong films in Nanyang can be sold every year, and there are only twenty or thirty films. Among these twenty or thirty films, the films of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Company account for most of them, and the films made by ordinary film companies can only honestly make money at the local box office, and if you are lucky, you may be able to sell them in Taiwan and make another profit.

As for Rì and South Korea, even the two big companies Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers don't have many movies that can be sold. rì is because of market reasons, while in South Korea it is because of the restriction order of zhèngfǔ.

is like the previous "Happy Ghost", if it weren't for the fact that this film was a big hit at the box office in Hong Kong, surpassing Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", with the overseas distribution ability of Princess Jin, she would not want to sell it in Rì Han for three or five years.

Why is it that when the salaries of other Hong Kong stars are only a few hundred thousand, Cheng Long's salary has already reached several million? It is because the audiences of Rì Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang love to watch Cheng Long's movies that they can increase countless overseas box offices.

It is true that Hong Jinbao is a big brother in Hong Kong, and his prestige in the circle seems to be higher than Cheng Long, but now he can only be majestic in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and neither Rì nor the Korean audience will buy his account.

Just because the rì Korean audience likes Cheng Long, Cheng Long has become a fragrant bun, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would rather use the disgraceful section to grab it. And Luo Wei, who was dug up by Golden Harvest, was like being dug up a mountain of gold, and he was angry and spent a lot of money to invite people from the club to come to Jiahe and Cheng Long for trouble.

In the Hong Kong film industry, which has a narrow box office market. Whoever has the ability to attract overseas gold is the boss.

When the news of Kang Jianfei's movie being a hit in Rì Korea came back, some small companies even ran to Maqiao with their own films, wanting to ask DreamWorks to help contact Rì Korean theater dealers. Directly divide 20% of the box office to DreamWorks as an agency fee.

In the current Hong Kong film industry, everyone knows that Oriental DreamWorks has risen, because Oriental DreamWorks movies can now be distributed overseas by themselves. And it can achieve a good overseas box office.

In the past, when Oriental DreamWorks started, more insiders saw the golden princess, thinking that with the support of the golden princess, Kang Jianfei and his company could get up.

And now, when talking about DreamWorks and Princess Jin, everyone is accustomed to putting Oriental DreamWorks in front.

Although Oriental DreamWorks still has a poor foundation and its funds are far inferior to the two companies of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, some people have begun to call DreamWorks and Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers together.

"Film Fortnightly" even directly wrote a chapter pointing out: "The Hong Kong film industry in the 50s was a scuffle between the princes of companies such as Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, and Cathay; The Hong Kong film scene in the 60s. It is the Shaw Brothers and the two heroes of Denmao (Cathay Pacific) standing side by side; The Hong Kong film scene in the 70s. It is the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest who share the world equally; It's just the 80s. The tiger cub of DreamWorks has shown its fangs, and the Hong Kong film industry in the next few years is about to enter an era of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and DreamWorks......"

"Hmph. What a Three Kingdoms! Zou Wenhuai threw away the magazine and asked the secretary. Is Cheng Long here? ”

The secretary replied: "It's already here, Cheng Long and Manager He are in the reception room outside." ”

Zou Wenhuai got up and came to the reception room, in addition to Cheng Long and He Guanchang, there was also gold medal screenwriter Deng Jingsheng sitting in the reception room.

"Mr. Zou!"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai appeared, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng both stood up to greet him, and only He Guanchang was still sitting on the sofa.

"Let's all sit down," Zou Wenhuai took the lead in sitting down and asked, "Ah Long, Ah Sheng, how is the preparation of the show?" ”

Deng Jingsheng nodded and said, "It's already written." ”

Cheng Long walked over and handed the drama to Zou Wenhuai, and said: "This drama is a summary of several movies such as "Serpentine Diao" and "Drunken Fist", and the name is "Young Master Long". ”

Zou Wenhuai only read a few pages after opening the play, then turned his head and asked He Guanchang: "What does Guanchang think?" ”

"It's a great drama, it's just that," He Guanchang frowned, "Now the appetite of Hong Kong audiences has been nourished by "Royal Senior Sister", this "Young Master Long" is still an old-style kung fu comedy, I don't know if the audience will buy it." ”

In the parallel space, Cheng Long's "Young Master Long" did not sell well in Hong Kong, because the audience prefers to watch the new-style urban comedy films of the New Art City, and the old-style kung fu films have fallen behind. And Kang Jianfei's "Royal Senior Sister" has gone one step further, and the audience's appetite has been nourished in terms of how to run through Changsuo.

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Then do you think we should learn from Oriental Company to make modern kung fu films?" Is Aaron suitable for such a film? ”

He Guanchang was speechless, and then said with a wry smile: "Who knows the Tao if you haven't tried it?" ”

Today's Cheng Long can only shoot old-style kung fu comedies, and he has never tried modern kung fu films, and He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai can't predict the future, so they naturally don't dare to let Cheng Long test the water and transform casually.

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng listened anxiously next to them, the two of them spent a lot of effort to write the drama of "Young Master Long", and now if they change the filming plan temporarily, then their efforts will be in vain.

Zou Wenhuai was silent, and said after a long time: "Then let's shoot "Young Master Long" first, even if the audience in Hong Kong doesn't like it, there are markets in rì, South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang." ”

Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Long hesitated and said, "Mr. Zou, I'm ...... I ......"

Zou Wenhuai said: "What are you doing?" If you have a word, you can be straight. ”

Cheng Long said unspeakably: "I want to open a film company." ”

Zou Wenhuai didn't say anything, but Cheng Long's godfather He Guanchang taught him a lesson first: "How old are you, and there are only five or six people in the family class, and you actually want to start a film company, I don't know how thick the sky is!" ”

Cheng Long turned his heart sideways and said: "Kang Jianfei is only 19 years old and can open a film company, why can't I?" ”

"Hehe," Zou Wenhuai laughed, stopping He Guanchang, who was about to continue scolding. said, "Jiahe has always supported its talent dúlì production, since you want to start a company, then I will support you." But we have to wait until the filming of "Young Master Dragon" is finished. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xie Lu and Mr. Zou, I will definitely shoot "Young Master Long" seriously." Cheng Long was overjoyed and bowed to Zou Wenhuai again and again. He was made red by Kang Jianfei's dream factory. In addition, Hong Jinbao's company is also making a lot of money every year, how can Cheng Long be willing to only work for Jiahe?

Zou Wenhuai said: "In this way, I will invest a sum of money for you, and the shares will not be much, as long as 40%." ”

Cheng Long listened to it and thanked him again, with Zou Wenhuai's investment, he would not have to worry about funds at all.

This is Zou Wenhuai's strength, if he is replaced by Lei Juekun, he must at least have more than 50% of the shares.

But it's because of this volume. Wait until the 90s. Zou Wen's wings grew stiff one by one. actually competed with his old club Golden Harvest in turn. Later, when robbing the studio, Golden Harvest was countered by the Six Alliances, and put a piece of fat meat to eat in his mouth.

He Guanchang scolded Cheng Long before. It's just a show, and there is also some reproach for Cheng Long for not greeting him in advance. At this time, Zou Wenhuai agreed. He Guanchang also asked with a smile: "It is very important to choose the name of the film company, what name is Ah Long going to give to the new company?" ”

Cheng Long said with a smile: "The name has been thought of, and it will be called Boxing Film Company (the predecessor of Weihe)." ”

Deng Jingsheng has been unable to interject, and at this moment he took the opportunity to praise: "The fist is powerful, this name is powerful and domineering." ”

Zou Wenhuai suddenly: "Ah Long, get a few corners in "Young Master Long" for the people of the Hong family's class, Sanmao is coming back." ”

"Brother Sanmao is going back to Jiahe?" Cheng Long asked in surprise, he had a very good relationship with Hong Jinbao's other senior brothers at this time, and there was no crack.

Deng Jingsheng was also surprised: "After "Royal Senior Sister", Hong Jinbao's "Zombie Taoist" is the main Chinese New Year blockbuster on Princess Jin's side, and it sells very well at the box office, how can he be willing to leave Jinbao Film Company and come back?" ”

"Hehe," He Guanchang said with a smile, "Princess Jin has an Oriental Dream Factory, and the films in Xinyi City are also very good, what's the point of him staying there?" ”

Deng Jingsheng didn't ask any more, he knew that there must be another inside story, but the two bosses didn't, he asked Pingbai to be disgusted.

In fact, there is no inside story, that is, after Hong Jinbao comes back to cooperate with Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest will form a new Baohe film company with Hong Jinbao. Zou Wenhuai has made a commitment that 70% of Baohe Film Company's shares will be owned by Hong Jinbao, and he will vigorously support the overseas distribution of Baohe films.

The last two are important weights to attract Hong Jinbao to return to Golden Harvest.

Because in Jinbao Film Company, Lei Juekun alone accounts for nearly sixty percent of the shares, and most of the money earned by Hong Jinbao goes into Lei Juekun's pocket. Zou Wenhuai generously gave Hong Jinbao seventy percent of the shares of the new company, and the extra box office earned in the future was enough for Hong Jinbao to give up the current Jinbao Film Company.

As for Golden Harvest's promise to support the overseas distribution of the new company Baohe, it is even more unbelievable, because the overseas distribution of Golden Princess is too weak. For example, Princess Jin helped Kang Jianfei release "Mr. Zombie", which took more than half a year to grind with South Korea, and gave up part of the box office share before negotiating. As for the release of "Mr. Zombie" in Rì, Princess Jin has not talked about it for more than half a year, and now Kang Jianfei is negotiating with Rì Courtyard himself.

Golden Harvest is different, if Hong Jinbao's films are of good quality, Zou Wenhuai can even help him distribute them to Europe and the United States. Compared with the box office over there, the box office in Taiwan and South Korea is not worth mentioning.

Several people continued to discuss matters related to the new film "Young Master Long", and suddenly Zou Wenhuai's assistant came over and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Ethers called from the United States. ”

"I still have some things, "Young Master Long" will be handed over to you Guanchang." Zou Wenhuai said to He Guanchang, nodded to Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng, and walked quickly to answer the phone.

Picking up the phone, Zou Wenhuai said fluently: "Hey, Ethers, long time no see, is there anything looking for me?" ”

Ethers said: "Zou, there is a Hong Kong film called "Royal Warrior" (the English translation of "Royal Sister"), do you know which company made it? ”

"Royal Warriors?" Zou Wenhuai quickly reacted, "Is it the one where the female protagonist is?" ”

Ethers: "Yes, that's it, the actor is a rì person. ”

Zou Wenhuai said strangely: "What do you ask this movie for?" ”

Ethers was surprised: "Don't you know that this movie has caused a sensation in the United States!" ”

"Did I hear me right?" Zou Wenhuai said in surprise.

Zou Wenhuai heard it right, Kang Jianfei stayed in the United States for a month and a half before finally letting "Royal Sister" be successfully released in North America.
