Kang Jianfei went to the United States with 13 people, including Zhong Zhiwen and Wu Chenggang, and he brought his royal photography team and lighting team to the United States.

Although Kang Jianfei only supervised one "Xun Qin Ji" a few months ago, he was not idle the rest of the time, and asked Zeng Bolin, who was in charge of American distribution affairs, to register a film company called Oriental Film Company. The company has no office space, no employees, and belongs to a leather bag company.

Kang Jianfei came to the United States to make a movie this time, and the producer was Oriental Film Company. The reason for this is that if you make a movie in the United States, the producer is a local American company, and there is a lot less unnecessary trouble.

Kang Jianfei brought the photography and lighting team to the United States, firstly, his own team was easy to use, and secondly, the salaries of Hong Kong employees were cheaper.

"Boss, this way!" Zeng Bolin waved and shouted at the exit of the airport.

Kang Jianfei walked over, nodded at Zeng Bolin, and greeted Tang Shuxuan beside him: "Thank you Sister Tang!" ”

"Anyway, I'm very bored when I stay at home, and I just come out to make a movie to pass the time," Tang Shuxuan said with a smile, "The filming location has already been selected for you, and it hasn't snowed in New York this year, so the filming location was chosen in western Massachusetts." ”

"Thank you." Kang Jianfei shook hands with Tang Shuxuan and said, "The casting work is okay, the most important thing is that the kid must be weird." ”

Kang Jianfei wants to shoot "Home Alone", this movie costs only more than 10 million US dollars, but it ranks in the top 50 Hollywood movie box office over the years, which is the most suitable for Kang Jianfei who wants to make money. And that was still more than $10 million in 1990, and now, Kang Jianfei's filming of "Home Alone" will not exceed the $3 million budget.

Tang Shuxuan said with a smile: "According to your requirements, I have selected a total of three little boys, and you still need to determine in the end." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I made an appointment with Little Alan this afternoon? Meet Ryder, you tell the three kids to come tomorrow, and you can choose the location. ”

As he spoke, he had already left the airport, Zeng Bolin summoned a few taxis, and Kang Jianfei and Tang Shuxuan were the same.

"The information of all the candidate actors is in it," Tang Shuxuan took out a file bag and said, "I read the script you sent, it is a very good family movie, and it is most suitable for being released at Christmas." But now it's just over 30 days until Christmas, and it's too late for you to turn on the phone. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "You have done almost the same in the preliminary preparations, and more than 30 days to make a movie is enough for me." All that needs to be done now is to convince 20th Century Fox to help with the release. ”

Tang Shuxuan is the kind of female director who seeks jīng, and she disagrees with Kang Jianfei's practice of snatching movies. However, she has not filmed for a long time, her hands have long been itchy, Kang Jianfei asked her to serve as the assistant director of "Home Alone", Tang Shuxuan agreed without much thought.

Kang Jianfei took out a stack of actor information from the file bag, which were all second-rate Hollywood actors, and there was no familiar star. But it's okay to do this, the salary of young actors is low, and they will not act passively because Kang Jianfei is a Chinese director.

Everyone came to the hotel to stay, Kang Jianfei slept for two hours and had jet lag, and after lunch, he took Zeng Bolin to 20th Century Fox to see little Alain? Ryder.

As the head of 20th Century Fox, it is not something that anyone can see, but Kang Jianfei is already barely qualified.

"Sir, Mr. Ryder is entertaining, please wait a moment." Little Alain? Ryder's secretary asked, "Do you want tea or coffee?" ”

"Whatever." Kang Jianfei sat down on the sofa.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the secretary came over and said, "Two gentlemen, please follow me." ”

Kang Jianfei and Zeng Bolin followed behind the secretary, and within a few steps, they saw two Americans, a man and a woman, looking dejectedly from Little Alain? Ryder's office walked out.

James? Cameron?

The famous "King of the World", how could Kang Jianfei not know him? However, at this moment, Cameron has a declining face, but he does not have the domineering spirit of the king of the world.

Kang Jianfei and James? Cameron passed by and soon stepped into little Alain? Ryder's office.

Compared to last time, little Alain? Ryder is a little older, but the god Jīng is great. Seeing Kang Jian fly in, little Alain? Ryder smiled heartily, "Kang, long time no see, but I often hear from you." ”

"Oh, the news from Hong Kong doesn't come to the United States." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Little Alain? "It's the news from Southeast Asia that 'Hero Ben Sè' beat all the contemporaneous films at the box office, including two 20th Century Fox films," Ryder said. ”

After listening to Zeng Bolin's translation, Kang Jianfei shrugged and said, "If this is a compliment, I am honored. ”

Little Alain? Ryder smiled: "Of course it's a compliment, and I found that "Wudang: Taiji Zhang Sanfeng" is good, and I can try to release it on a small scale in the United States." ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "Wouldn't it be better to release "Hero Ben Sè"? ”

Little Alain? Ryder shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic about the box office of "Hero Ben Sè" in North America. ”

Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered Cameron who went out just now, and asked casually: "Is it Cameron who went out just now?" ”

Little Alain? Ryder said, "It's him, and Anne from New World Pictures?" Hurd. ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "Cameron came to 20th Century Fox to invest?" ”

Little Alain? Ryder scoffed: "A movie about robots traveling through time and space, the plot is very boring. ”

The word "Terminator" suddenly appeared in Kang Jianfei's head and asked, "You refused?" ”

Little Alain? Ryder said, "Of course I refused, if it wasn't for Annie?" I didn't even bother to see Hurd's words. ”

James at this time? Cameron is just a small director who has made a movie, and there are countless such small directors in Hollywood, so he is really not qualified to meet little Alain? Ryder.

Little Alain? Ryder is obviously looking away this time, but this is a good thing for Kang Jianfei, if he can invest in the filming of "The Terminator......

The two chatted a few more words, little Alain? Ryder said: "Kang, the release plan of "Royal Sister 2" has basically been decided, and it is scheduled for December 15, and I think it will achieve a very good box office this time." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Mr. Ryder, in fact, I came this time to discuss with you about another matter. ”

"What's the matter?" Little Alain? Ryder asked.

"I'm going to make a Christmas movie, and I hope 20th Century Fox will help release it." Kang Jianfei briefly talked about the plot of "Home Alone".

"This kind of family movie is not good, it may be a box office hit, or it may not be cared for," Little Alain? Ryder frowned and said, "Kang, did you bring the film of Home Alone?" ”

Kang Jianfei spread his hands and said, "In fact, I haven't started this movie yet. ”

"Oh, Shet," little Alain? Ryder said angrily, "Are you kidding me? Christmas is still a month away, and you asked me to help you release a movie that hasn't started yet! ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I promise that the shooting will be completed within 15 days, and 10 days will be used for post-production, and the publicity work can be carried out at the same time." ”

"Kang, I think you should go see Dr. Jīng." Little Alain? Ryder said as he lit his cigar.

Kang Jianfei said with a serious expression: "Mr. Ryder, I am serious. ”

Little Alain? Ryder shrugged, "I'm serious too. ”

"Alright, see you again." Kang Jianfei sighed.

Little Alain? Ryder said, "No." ”

Kang Jianfei left Little Alain? Ryder's office said to Zeng Bolin: "You go to the female secretary and get the contact information of the two people who went out before." ”

Zeng Bolin didn't understand what Kang Jianfei was going to do, but he still faithfully carried out the order. A few minutes later, Zeng Bolin ran back with a sticky note and said, "Boss, just get to that woman's phone." ”

"Annie? Hurd? Kang Jianfei is not familiar with Hollywood, he doesn't know if this woman will become James? Cameron's second wife, even more unknowingly, is an excellent Hollywood producer in the future.

went out to find a phone booth, Kang Jianfei asked Zeng Bolin to dial Anne? Hurd's phone was waited for a long time but no one answered, and it is estimated that the other party has not returned home yet.

Kang Jianfei returned to the hotel and made more than ten calls in a row, and someone finally answered there. Kang Jianfei didn't speak English, so Zeng Bolin had to explain a lot before putting Annie? Hurd came out.

More than ten minutes later, the two parties made an appointment to meet at a café.

"Mr. Kang?" Annie? Hurd asked uncertainly, looking at the two Asians walking towards her.

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Anne Heard with a smile and said, "Hello, Miss Heard." ”

Zeng Bolin immediately translated: "Miss Hurd, Kang Jianfei doesn't know English, he's greeting you." ”

Annie? Hurd looked down on Kang Jianfei more and more, and asked, "You said on the phone that you want to invest in "Terminator"? ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, I was in Little Alan just now?" When he met two people outside Ryder's office, he casually asked about it, and learned the story of "The Terminator" from Ryder. Personally, I'm interested in robot-themed movies, so I'm interested in investing in them. ”

Annie? Hurd originally had a very bad impression of Kang Jianfei, but at this time, he learned that Kang Jianfei could talk to Little Alain? Ryder chatted, immediately became attentive, and asked, "You know Mr. Ryder very well?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "At least it's not a stranger. ”

Annie? Hurd still didn't believe Kang Jianfei as an Asian, and said: "The budget for this film is at least $6 million, and Mr. Kang is sure to invest?" ”

Kang Jianfei drank coffee and said: "I just said that I have investment intentions, and I will talk about it after reading the script." ”

"I brought the script." Annie? Hurd pulled the script out of his bag.

Kang Jianfei flipped through it casually, it was not much different from the first part of "Terminator" in his memory, he closed the script and asked, "Can I talk to Mr. Cameron?" ”

"Just talk to me," Annie? "I'm the producer of this film. ”

Kang Jianfei felt that something was wrong and asked, "Wasn't the script written by Mr. Cameron?" ”

Annie? Hurd nodded, "Yes, but he has already sold me the script." (To be continued.) Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
