Kang Jianfei slept on the plane for more than ten hours, and his eyes were already over Hong Kong.

Last night, Guan Zhilin "killed herself" and was obsessed with Kang Jianfei for a night, and when Kang Jianfei left, she was still sleeping like a dead pig, and she didn't go to the airport to see her off.

With the rapid development of Hong Kong films in the past two years, the release schedule of Hong Kong films has become more and more detailed. For example, in the past, some theaters started in early December, and some started to show them directly from Christmas.

Last year and this year, several major cinema chains in Hong Kong have conventionally positioned the Christmas stalls to start on December 22rì, and all blockbusters will be released around 22rì. It wasn't until January 5 that the Christmas schedule was basically over, and the next level of movies began to be ranked again.

The chūn festival stall starts from the 23rd day of the lunar month, and this rìzi is the stove king festival, and many units and companies start their holidays on this day.

Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong on January 19, 1983, which happened to be the buffer period between the Christmas stalls and the chūn festival stalls.

In the past Christmas file, the competition between several major film companies was not fierce. Perhaps because of the sharp decline in Hong Kong's property market and stock market in the second half of last year, the social and economic environment was affected, and Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City all gave up the Christmas stalls and did not prepare for any blockbuster releases.

In addition to DreamWorks' "Royal Sister 2", the most eye-catching Christmas file is the second movie "Desert Man" after the establishment of Yindu Organization. The film is directed by Dúlì Weng Weiquan North to the new. Xinjiang, co-filmed with the mainland, the real-life pictures of deserts and grasslands have brought some small surprises to Hong Kong audiences. It's a pity that the content of "Desert Man" is too bad, and under the support of Yindu Cinemas, it only got a box office of more than 1 million.

The other is Wang Jinghui's "Demon Hunter" filmed by Shaw Brothers, which was filmed roughly and roughly, and actually got a box office of more than 3.6 million, making Shaw Brothers make a small profit.

is "Scary", directed by Wu Ma and starring Hong Jinbao, won 10 million box office in one fell swoop. If it weren't for DreamWorks' "Royal Sister 2" in the way, "Scary" would have been the biggest winner in last year's Christmas file.

The funniest film released by Xinyicheng at Christmas is actually a green chūn love film called "Lemon Tea", which barely earned 2.6 million at the box office.

It is in this environment that "Royal Sister 2" dominates the Christmas file with almost no pressure.

Although "Royal Sister 2 Direct Witness" only grossed $14.9 million in North America, less than half of "Royal Sister 1", it still sold well overall.

And this movie is set in Hong Kong, starring Lin Qingxia, overseas filming and shooting, and the ultra-high production cost of 13 million Hong Kong dollars, these few elements alone are enough to attract Hong Kong audiences to buy tickets.

When Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, "Royal Sister 2 Direct Witness" happened to be painted, and the box office in Hong Kong sold 18.54 million. In terms of the local box office alone, "Royal Sister 2" will naturally lose money, but only one American box office has made DreamWorks double, not to mention the vast Asian market.

The super hit of "Royal Sister 2 Direct Witness" not only proves that DreamWorks has the ability to be self-reliant from the Golden Princess Cinemas, but also marks that the New Era Cinemas has become another cinema giant after Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess.

"Ming Pao Weekly" commented: "This strange cinema chain in the new era has greatly increased its strength after the addition of Taiping Cinema and Queen's Cinema, and the source of films has become more and more sufficient. In terms of the box office strength of the cinema chain alone, the New Era Cinema Line has surpassed the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and is on par with the Golden Harvest Cinema Line...... However, the strange thing is that no one knows who the proprietors of the Taiping Theater and the Queen Theater are so far. ”

The hit of "Royal Sister 2" in Hong Kong also made the actor Zhen Zidan instantly popular. The sharp fists and kicks coupled with the cold and handsome appearance attracted countless eyes at once, and some newspapers even praised it without hesitation, saying that Zhen Zidan is expected to become "Bruce Lee's second".

…………

…………

"Drink...... Drink ......"

Zhen Zidan punched the paper mat on the wall, and was so tired that he sweated profusely before he ran to take a shower and eat breakfast.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Zhen Zidan wiped his not long hair with hair wax to stand up, put on a leather jacket, and put on the sunglasses he bought on the carpet two days ago before going out.

When he went downstairs, he met a few women in the movie, Zhen Zidan pretended to be reserved and held his head high, only waiting for the other party to recognize him before reluctantly signing his autograph.

It's a pity that the movie has fallen to the bottom, but those women only treat him as air, and leave directly as soon as the elevator door opens.

"Is it because I'm wearing sunglasses that I don't get recognized?" Zhen Zidan thought a little depressed, and took off his sunglasses and inserted them into the collar of his woolen sweater.

Since "Royal Sister 2" was screened in Hong Kong, in the face of praise from many media, Zhen Zidan has been a little fluttering.

In fact, this is also a normal reaction, Zhen Zidan has been in the dream factory for more than a year, and has been playing tricks as a passerby for the first half of the year, filming "Royal Senior Sister 2" for two months in the middle, and then playing various small supporting roles for half a year.

Due to the long absence of "Royal Sister 2", Zhen Zidan was almost moldy when he ran the tricks, and even had the idea of returning to the United States several times. Just when he was about to despair, "Royal Sister 2" suddenly became a big hit in Hong Kong and the United States, Zhen Zidan changed from a small actor to a popular kung fu star, how could he still maintain a normal heart?

When he went out and stopped a taxi, Zhen Zidan sat on it with a golden knife and said to the driver: "Go to the DreamWorks headquarters!" ”

Oriental DreamWorks is now the most profitable film company in Hong Kong, and its headquarters is already well known, so the driver turned around and went straight to DreamWorks.

Zhen Zidan sat in the car for several minutes before he heard the driver ask, "Sir, are you Zhen Zidan who plays "Royal Senior Sister 2"?" ”

"yes." Zhen Zidan was proud in his heart, but his face was still cool, and he barely showed a smile.

The driver exclaimed: "Wow, your leg skills are really good, and you look as good as Bruce Lee." ”

Zhen Zidan said proudly: "I am also a Chinese-American, and I have admired Bruce Lee since I was a child. ”

"I like Bruce Lee too, but I'm also a fan of yours now," the driver laughed, "It's rare to bump in, and you'll have to give me an autograph when you get out of the car later." ”

Zhen Zidan held the signature pen in his coat and said coolly: "No problem." ”

After getting out of the car and signing for the driver, Zhen Zidan looked at the car parked under the company building, and then looked at the taxi he took when he came, and felt that he should buy one.

In the early 80s, there was no special entertainment agency in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, and even most celebrities didn't even have serious agents, basically relatives and friends helped to take film appointments and announcements. For example, a few years before Lin Qingxia's debut, it was completely her mother who was a guest agent and assistant.

If it is replaced by a star like Zhen Zidan who suddenly became popular after 2000, he is qualified enough for the company to help him arrange assistants and agents, and even apply for special car transfers at some special times.

It's a pity that it's still the 80s, and the "big star" Zhen Zidan can only take care of himself.

"Danigo Morning!"

"Danny is here."

"Brother Dan is good."

“……”

As soon as I entered the company, there were many people who greeted me.

These greetings made Zhen Zidan quite useful, holding his head high and playing cool with a cold face, smiling slightly and nodding and walking over, like a lion patrolling his territory.

After Zhen Zidan left, the person who greeted him just now began to speak ill.

"This decrepit boy is so arrogant, he doesn't look at people when he greets him."

"yes, I thought I was great if I was popular."

"Brother Fa and Sister Qingxia are so popular, they still joke with us every time we meet."

"I don't think this kid has been popular for long, and it's not eye-catching at all."

“……”

Zhen Zidan naturally didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about him behind his back, he only knew that Lu Dao was popular, and he was very respected and welcomed by everyone in the company.

When he came to the outside of the artist department, Zhen Zidan was stopped by Zhang Guozhong's secretary: "Danny, the manager is in a meeting, you don't have to go to his office." By the way, the matter of changing the contract is suspended, and the company has decided otherwise. ”

"Decide otherwise?" Zhen Zidan was stunned for a moment. He came today to change his contract, what does it mean that he will not change it for the time being?

When Zhen Zidan was thinking nonsense, in an office of DreamWorks, Kang Jianfei was having a meeting with the company's presidents and managers.

After announcing last year's company's profits, as well as the dividends and bonuses of everyone here, Kang Jianfei began to get to the point: "I have a plan to split the artist department of DreamWorks and merge it with the artist management department of Fengxing Records and Phoenix TV, and set up a separate entertainment agency in Dúlì. ”

Everyone present didn't know what he meant, and no one had notified Kang Jianfei of his decision in advance, and they were all confused by what he said.

Kang Jianfei saw that everyone was puzzled, so he explained: "The reason why I did this is to avoid duplication and waste of resources, and after integrating the artist departments of DreamWorks, Phoenix Channel and Fengxing Records, we can allocate artist resources more efficiently and reasonably." The second is to make the packaging, publicity, and training of artists more professional, learn from Hollywood, and improve the training system for star artists and behind-the-scenes employees. Third, after separating the company's artists, it can greatly reduce the administrative expenses of DreamWorks. ”

Ma Qiao, Pan Yingzi and Zhou Mingfang, as well as a large number of department managers, looked at each other. Kang Jianfei is the sole owner of DreamWorks, and since the decision has been made, they can only obey.

Pan Yingzi smiled and said tentatively: "The artist department has been dismantled, and the production department is taken care of by Zeng Zhiwei, so I, the vice president of film and television, have nothing to do." ”

"It's enough for you to be busy," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "In the future, all the film and television contracts of DreamWorks will be handed over to Vice President Zhou Mingfang, and Pan Yingzi will be the head of the newly established brokerage company." Zhang Guozhong: You and most of the staff in the artist department have transferred to the new company, and there are also some people from Fengxing Records and Phoenix Channel who want to join the new company. You can get in touch with each other and get acquainted with each other, and I hope that the new company will be officially opened after the Chūn Festival. ”

"Then I don't care about the film company?" Pan Yingzi is still a little reluctant to the 3 dry stocks of DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "I guess you won't be busy in the new company, how can you have time to worry about DreamWorks?" ”

Zeng Zhiwei looked at Kang Jianfei with a blank eye, Pan Yingzi, the vice president of film and television, is gone, the artist department is gone, and he, the manager of the production department, still doesn't know which one is in charge.

Kang Jianfei continued: "In addition, I announce the cancellation of employees' film dividends and the replacement of the year-end bonus system, which depends on the company's profitability and employee performance. As for the production department, Phoenix TV's TV drama and variety show production department will move to DreamWorks, with Tsang Chi Wai continuing to manage the film production department and McDonald Bear managing the TV production department. In other words, in the future, DreamWorks' production department was divided into two, including a film production department and a television production department. ”

"The TV station's production department joins DreamWorks?" The office was full of surprise, and they couldn't understand what Kang Jianfei was thinking.

"As for the new vice president of film and television," Kang Jianfei glanced at everyone, "she will not come to the company until after the festival, I think everyone has heard of her, it is Tang Shuxuan who used to shoot "Mrs. Dong". ”

Zeng Zhiwei originally fantasized that he could be the vice president of film and television, but as soon as Tang Shuxuan's name came out, he knew that he was out of action. When Tang Shuxuan's film won an award in France, Zeng Zhiwei had just entered Liu's class as a dragon and tiger martial artist.

However, Tang Shuxuan has already immigrated to the United States, and God knows how Kang Jianfei deceived people back to Hong Kong.

The fact is very simple, the main reason why Tang Shuxuan immigrated to the United States that year was that the movies she made were banned by Hong Kong and English. Now that Hong Kong Yingzhèngfǔ's censorship of movies has been relaxed, and Tang Shuxuan was deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei's talent ("Home Alone" was filmed in 11 days), as soon as Kang Jianfei sent out the invitation, Tang Shuxuan agreed without thinking too much.

Kang Jianfei said: "This time, all departments have made great adjustments, and everyone will go down to coordinate and arrange with each other, so as not to have omissions and frictions in the work after rì." By the way, Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong stayed! ”

After everyone else was done, Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong: "The newly established brokerage company, I am going to call it Oriental Entertainment Company, is now being registered, and it will be approved in a few days." Oriental Entertainment Company has two main functions: one is to cultivate, package and promote artists, and I will transfer the Phoenix training class of Phoenix Channel to the new company; The second is to arrange the performance activities of artists, including recommending its artists to other film companies to take over the plays, and cooperating with record companies to organize concerts for singers, etc. ”

Pan Yingzi still couldn't help but say: "I don't think there's a need to open another company in this way, right?" ”

"Don't think that the entertainment agency is so simple, one day even Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest will have to go to the Oriental Entertainment Company to invite actors, you can be regarded as a real success." Kang Jianfei threw a file bag to Pan Yingzi, "This is the development strategy I have formulated in combination with some entertainment brokerage companies in Hollywood and Rìben, you can take it and see it first, and then ask me if you don't understand." In the past, DreamWorks' artist department had rough rules, and all actors had similar revenue sharing ratios. First of all, you have to work out a clear star level, and you must have a very clear idea of which level of star and how to package. According to the resources invested in the artist, the account sharing between the artist and the agent and the brokerage company is reasonably distributed. It is necessary to make sure that every artist who debuts has his own agent, and the agent is responsible for the artists under his hands......"

Kang Jianfei said a lot, and Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong listened thoughtfully.

After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, Zhang Guozhong reminded: "Boss, now DreamWorks' actor income share is the highest in Hong Kong, and after the star system is established in the future, the income of most artists will decline, which may cause their dissatisfaction." ”

"You also know that the actors in Ludao DreamWorks have the highest account share, if those actors feel that they have less income, they can go to other companies," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "And as long as you do your job well, the red actors will only earn more, and the young actors can also have more opportunities to be in the position, what else can they say?" ”

Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly, the task given to them by Kang Jianfei was too heavy.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: "By the way, I plan to hire a few professionals from the United States and Rìben to help the company to help you cultivate, package and promote artists, and then you will learn a little more." To be honest, if you go around Hollywood, you will find that the development of artists in Hong Kong is too primitive. ”

After sending Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong away, Kang Jianfei dialed Huang Xizhao's phone again and asked, "Mr. Huang, have you figured it out?" Transfer the TV drama and variety show production department to DreamWorks. ”

"The artist department is withdrawn, the production department is also withdrawn, and the TV station is only an empty shell." Huang Xizhao sighed, but did not object to this matter.
